supersayen said: It's hard to describe this episode. the characters acted very weird, the action scene was very awkward, the military guy was happy because he shot Yang Wenli's leg is funny and thinking he killed him but didn't notice he just shot his leg, but it ended up being lethal. lol...seems like you're having some difficulty holding back your anger and disappointment. |

| Wow, I had just added Yang to my favourite characters list and the very next episode he dies. I didn't find his death scene to be particularly sad because I was utterly convinced that he wasn't going to die until the very last second. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. This series has done it again, I had put Kircheis on equal footing with Reinhard and Yang as main characters up until his unexpected death. |
 |
| Oh gawd...I knew it from the ED of season 1, just seeing only Julian looking at the background made me realise that from the two, Yang would die a lot sooner than Julian...yet this episode made me freeze. Clannad made me cry like a 6 years child who lost his mother, LoGH now made me stun like some really close friend had died...5/5 |

| Wow, he died. :( The death makes sense, it seems like that's how things usually play out in history. The last season should be really interesting, what happens now I wonder? |
| You know who will be pissed, Reinhard... My only complaint is why he died before Merkatz I also really like the way the narrator ended with his tone of voice |

| ...Even if I knew this because of the stupid foreshadowing...Waterworks over here, people. I've been squishing as much LoGH as I can into my day recently, watching for several hours straight, late into night... but I don't think I can play another episode right now. This just needs to...sink in. Farewell, Yang. No words can fully express how empty the LoGH world will be without you. |

| Such a devastating yet amazing episode. Throughout the series I always had the feeling the Yang would die at some point, but it seemed like whenever he would be faced with adversity he would just somehow pull through or the threats to his life themselves would never actually materialize. As a result of this and despite my better judgment, I still held out hope that Yang would make it out alive. I was basically dumbfounded when it become apparent beyond all doubt that this was the end for Yang. Never did I think that I would cry during and episode of LOGH, but once the enormity of the situation sank in, combined with Julian's own reactions, I just couldn't hold back anymore. |

| What do you mean you didn't see it coming? The damn narrator hinted his death like every episode?!! How can you not be prepared?! |

TBH you cannot be prepared enough for this one death scene. Its so well done and so shocking, even if you were spoiled it could still leave you completely devastated. |

| Yang Wenli's death almost made me drop the series. I also had a hard time sleeping the same night, no kidding. |

| The whole episode was so tense because they keep showing Yang's clock ticking down. I was, unfortunately, horribly spoiled by this significant death in CnC spotlights of another unrelated series so I was mentally prepared since episode 1. But #$@%#$%^#@^%$^%$& , I still bawled like a baby and they don't even need to play some cliche depressing osts in the background to trigger my emotions. R.I.P Yang Teitoku |

| I didn't cry, nor did my jaw drop to the floor. Right now I just feel sort of empty, and sad. I knew this was coming, even the episode title made it clear as day. Hell, even the ending credits for season 3 gave us a looming, vague hint at it. But still. I didn't want this guy to die, I didn't want him to go out like this in such a pathetic manner. He deserved another good 40 years before he had to leave. This is easily one of the most depressing scenes in anime history, previous anime deaths have absolutely no comparison. |
 |
| ok, you know a series is good when you get to the part where yang is wandering the corridors by himself and you are on pins and needles. And then you get to the tragedy and you practically yell at the tv screen. GAH! He was my favorite character, too. Definitely want to see what happens next, I want to say that Julian will likely be the next best candidate for tactical genius on this side of the whole conflict. Oh, MAN, is Reinhardt going to be ticked! This is not how he would have wanted the man he admired as his tactical rival to end out. |

| You know, as much as this show is praised for its "everything," I still think there were plenty of weak points and small boring stretches sprinkled throughout. However, no matter how I felt about any particular episode or arc, I always knew in the back of my head that Yang will come along eventually and be his lovable self, entertaining and enlightening me no matter what happens. I don't know what I'm going to do for 28 episodes knowing that Yang will never come and make the show for me ever again. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| I'm so depressed even though I thought this would happen sooner or later :( Yang, you'll be missed :( /cry |
| I once watched a fan made video about the foreshadowing of characters deaths. After I saw the final heart-to-heart talk between Julian & Yang, I was ' I know I've seen this somewhere' . Not to mention the shitty narrator kept on spoiling us I shed manly tears, not because Yang died, but because of the reaction of his fellow crew members, particularly Fredirica. The creators had the guts to kill almost-everyone's favorite character. Now, I'm gonna jumpship to Reinhard xD I was angry and disappointed at the creators, but at the same time, totally applaud them for being such geniuses |
 |
| Probably going to be hated but oh well. I could careless if Yang died. I say its his own fault for not having ambition and he wouldnt be in that situation. Then again i wished Julian died instead of Yang. |
| yea, he died because he lacked ambition. Wait, that doesn't make any sense! |

| In a way he did. He could have taken power many times and never put himself in that position. Even near the end, he remained subservient to El Facil and their politicians and tried so hard not to be a military presence that he put his own life at risk. He had good ideological reasons for this, but more ruthless people could see that as a weakness. That's cold to not care if he died though. People make mistakes and have flaws. Most deserve empathy. Especially as good a person and leader as Yang was. Oberstein your favorite character bonifide? |
| I beg to differ. Almost every character in the series who harbored ambition died anyway, mostly because of their massive egos and/or ambition. Yang would not have met a different fate if he was ambitious. Besides he was outnumbered from the beginning thanks to the FPA's stupidity somehow being more self destructive than the Imperials. Yang's principles weren't just for nothing and his life wasn't wasted, as we see at the end, his affect on people and later events change things for the better, in some way at least. |

Honestly, with the amount of alcohol he consumes he wasn't fit to be a ruler anyways. |
