The second chapter of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash trilogy, The Witch of Kirke, moved through its home release in stages. Rental and purchase distribution on Amazon Prime Video began August 17, 2026, at 550 yen to rent and 2,550 yen to buy. Unlimited streaming followed on August 31, 2026, at midnight, opening the film to Prime members in Japan at no separate charge.

The film had already run in Japanese theaters, opening January 30, and earned 2.7 billion yen at the box office, more than the 2021 first film. It runs 1 hour 46 minutes. Set in U.C. 0105, twelve years after Char's rebellion, it follows Hathaway Noa, leader of the anti-Earth Federation movement Mafty, as he prepares to attack the Adelaide conference, alongside Federation Colonel Kenneth Sleg, who plans to destroy Mafty, and Gigi Andalusia, a girl with mysterious powers who leaves for Hong Kong.

Shukou Murase directs, with Yasuyuki Muto writing the screenplay and Hiroyuki Sawano composing the music. Kensho Ono voices Hathaway, Reina Ueda voices Gigi, and Junichi Suwabe voices Kenneth. The opening theme is SZA's 'Snooze' and the ending theme is Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child o' Mine'. Prime Video also carries the first Hathaway's Flash film and Char's Counterattack, so the earlier story is available on the same service.
