| Guys, for those of you that have seen the rest, I gotta ask: is it only downhill from here? I'd rather leave while I still have fond opinions about the show. I mean... let's face it, Julian isn't protag material, especially in the afterglow of Yang. And I wasn't really interested in Lohengramm's struggles to begin with, nor am I interested in the Earth cult's ploy, whatever it may be. Is it a good time to stop? |

And I wasn't really interested in Lohengramm's struggles to begin with, nor am I interested in the Earth cult's ploy, whatever it may be. Is it a good time to stop? While the fourth season has its flaws and haters, I see it as one huge finale to the whole story. The last episode is really good, and the show has one of my all time favorite endings, so I recommend you to watch the rest if only to see how it ends. There are some surprises and shocks left as well. If the shock of his death is too much, just take a break and watch the prequel movies, if you haven't done so already, or watch something else until you're ready to watch it again. Thats what I did. |

| Good advice. I'll take it. |
| I think I might need to watch the prequel stuff too. Those I haven't seen already, anyways. Just so....heart wrenching. What an acurate portral of grief and pain. No typical anime bullshit about the protagonist slamming his or her fist into the wall and then sulking for countless episodes.... |
| This episode made Yang's death real. My tears. ;__; tainteddonut said: As was the scene where she described how Yang should have died: In his old age, while quietly reading a book under the sun. *sob*Frederica's VA deserves some praise here. The scene where she confessed she couldn't care less as long as she had Yang was really well done. |
Confucius said: Unlike you guys, I almost cried because they actually want to replace Yang with Julian. I mean cmon guys, REALLY? JULIAN??? e s Those guys arguing with Dusty was right, Julian is no Reinhard. It's a crime to even have him in the same sentence as Reinhard-sama. Not only is his hair not long and blonde enough, he is also such a baby. I rather they give the position to Merkatz (someone who I hate very very very VERY much and I want him dead, but since it has been 83 episodes, I doubt he will die) Why do all of your posts make me cringe? |

| It's a STORY people, with a cast of hundreds. How can anyone stop watching a story just because one character died!? Don't you want to know how the saga ends? Which side will win? Reinhard's fate? |

Trance_Kuja90 said: You know a series is godlike when they get you to cry over a charachter's death that you didn't even like. I was actually hoping for that scene for the first 80 episodes, but when it finally happened i found myself pretty sad over his death. Started to like Yang after that. Can you explain why you disliked Yang? |
| Holy Hannah, when Frederica lost it...that was a powerful scene. I love her. This episode had my eyes watery. Great work. |
| If (i.e. when) I ever watch this series again, I'm going to look at Murai very differently. He's played a necessary but thankless role as Yang's Chief of Staff all along, and I have to respect a man who's willing to draw ire upon himself for the greater good. The variety of reactions to Yang's death was very wide, and each of them was believable. Grief is a bitch. |
| Frederica thought Yang would die like Don Corleone. |

| Felt a bit more emotional for Yang's death in this episode, just because of everyone's realistic reactions. Murai is a true soldier of democracy, man what a trooper. |
     |
| God damn it all.. I go about my day after watching this, and whenever I start thinking about it I feel as heavy as a stone. Literally saying "Yang Wenli is dead" stirs me too much, and I wasn't even attached to him as much as Lohengramm. The way the series pulls this off, nothing short of magnificent. |
 |
| Without Yang, everything's falling apart, what's next? |
| I just hope Frederica doesn't turn out to be pregnant, would be so cliche. Sad though, Julian is a faint shadow compared to Yang, I never cared for Julian anyway and now his importance has grown. |
 |
| Why did the Terraists leave behind evidence that they were indeed Terraists? Or did they do that on purpose for some larger scheme? Although honestly, it would be easier to manipulate the empire if they didn't know that the manipulators weren't still alive . . . Anyways, this the part with Frederica almost made me cry. I feel terrible for her. Hoping next episode they announce Yang's death (or it gets leaked) to the empire, I want to see just how pissed Reinhard will get . . . (Starting to get the feeling that Julian will actually unify the empire under democracy in the end, like their were two stars in history that lead way to the major star) |
 |
| I want to see Reinhard's reaction. Someone, go tell the forces of the Empire. |
| In some I believe they were actually sent by Oberstein to assassinate Yang. Btw , the are another 27 episodes left and ... without Yang ? I also want to see Reinhard's reaction and what will he do about this.. |

I also want to see Reinhard's reaction and what will he do about this.. Actually, Oberstein had nothing to do with the assassination. He only merely contemplated about it before. Instead, the assassination was carried out by Terraists under the orders of Archbishop De Villier. |
| Wait a second, did they all just forget everything about the negotiations just because Yang was killed by Terraists? The Empire had nothing to do with it, so there is no reason to why they should not make peace. |

The Empire had nothing to do with it, so there is no reason to why they should not make peace. They didn't.Its just that negotiations were started because NO one was able to beat yang.After the loss of yang FPA doesn't stand a chance against Empire.Empire now can go and crush remaining rebels easily so why negotiation. |
| Fuck, that was depressing. :( |
Baman said: I have yet to see any other anime portray grief this realistic. The varied reactions were all brilliantly portrayed and seemed much more real than the usual melodrama grief you see in other series. At this point I'm not surprised, I expect mastery in every area by LOGH, and much like Yang Wenli it does not disappoint. Truly Flawless and should be the guidebook for anime that want true meaning and value in their contents. Generally grief is handled poorly in other anime, striking the right balance and atmosphere and weighing its realism and impact is incredibly hard. Notice how brilliantly it handles Frederica's grief. She initially handles it stoically eventhough you can tell she is devastated. Later on in the episode when she momentarily breaks down, you can't help but pull for her and feel her plight. blue_hitomi said: I think I shed more tears than for the previous episode; the reactions of everyone was so realistic (though sometimes suprising, for instance I would have never thought to see Cazernes crying). The choice of Frederica and Julian as political and military successors is logical if based on the hope that everyone will follow them for the sake of Yang memory. Murai's moral sacrifice is very admirable to drain the people would be deserters or traitors later on with him. Can't wait to see Lohengramm reaction ; he has lost what whas maybe his only reason to live or at least to fight. Comment is the perfect summation of most of our feelings after this episode. I'm sure we aren't the only ones that cried here more than the previous episode. stAtic91 said: Julian went berserk with rage; I never thought I'd see him like that. I urged him on, never have I wanted him to explode like that. Even at expressing rage and frustration, no show can match LOGH. stAtic91 said: tainteddonut said: The scene where she confessed she couldn't care less as long as she had Yang was really well done. Yeah, that really made me tear up... In my opinion, it was the most depressing and sad moment so far in LoGH. Yes this part is where the trickle of tears up till this point really got out of control on my part. I would expound more on this, but even thinking about it is painful.

He's played a necessary but thankless role as Yang's Chief of Staff all along, and I have to respect a man who's willing to draw ire upon himself for the greater good. His sacrifice here is truly a testament to his integrity and character, and it does more to showcase that than anything he could have possibly done throughout the show. |

| I felt sad and empty last episode. This episode brought my sadness to the forefront and I became choked up and teary eyed at various points I am not ashamed to admit. Especially the part where Frederica finally broke down. This is the first time the death of a character has done that to me. What a great series you are LOGH, to get me this invested in a fictional character. |

| This series has made me feel like someone just shot my dog. These past 2 episodes were the long overdue episodes that pushed my 8/10 to a 9/10 finally. seriously its been on the borderline since.....kirchies death, its good to finally have something to push it up.....too bad it happened to be brought on by misery. |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Ugh, heart wrenching scenes. I thought it was too good to be true for Frederica to be taking it that well... :( |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Even though I knew it was coming last episode, it still hit me hard... This episode though. I lost count of the amount of times I teared up. Seeing the vision of "old Yang" in his chair just finished me off. Everyone's reactions and the reality of the situation is just so damn sad. It won't be the same without Yang. |
 |
| That was way more sadder and way more realistic than I expected. The after shock of his death really showed, especially on the ones who loved him most. Perfect episode. RIP Miracle Yang. |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| I now realize what the ED for this season was portraying...Such realistic emotions, and Frederica was the star in this ep for me...This series is too great. |
| I'm in a band! Check it here- https://fanlink.to/tropicvibez |
| I really can't see how people like Reinhard more than Yang. |
| I wonder how Reinhard and the Empire will react to the news of Yang's death. Pxi2 said: I really can't see how people like Reinhard more than Yang. That's like if I said that I really can't see how people like Yang more than Reinhard ಠ_ಠ Silly post is silly. |

| This episode of after-math was quite sad. I miss Yang more now. I miss Kircheis more though. |

| Yang Wenli died in such a peaceful way, too bad Julian couldn't get there in time. |
