Bad writing in this episode. Why the fuck would Rubinsky do that? That is just bad writing typical of Japanese authors. Rubinsky was shown to be a man that just wanted power and was not ideological. It makes no sense for him to completely blow up cities for no reason once he already knew he was dead. Out of character.

That's actually character development, kind of. He became desperate after finding out about his brain tumor, as he suddenly wanted to bring some meaning to his worthless life. This is why he thought about having another child after killing his son, and why his schemes became more desperate and falible.

That might be why he felt the need to kill his rival, that was going to be his legacy. Dominique was, after all, a more idealistic person, constantly pointing out in disgust how meaningless his schemes ultimately were. Maybe that was her influence, who knows.

Damn Rubisnky!

I must say that I partially take back my concerns abut the necessity for the republicans to continue the fight after the fall of the Alliance. As a Law student and a lover of History, I must say this is truly the best outcome and agreement for both parties involved. The constitucional monarchy is a system which encompasses the best that each of them has to offer. From one side, it provides the national stability cosolidated in the King (or Emperor, in this case), who is above the common political strife which could tear it apart, while it also protects the citizens' rights and ensures a rightful representation and participation in government. If done correctly, it doesn't has to necessarily stripe the monarch of his governing rights, as he can remain being the Head of State and still have a legislative royal prerrogative before the Parliament.

Anyway, regarding this episode, the remark that Dusty gave to Julian about the lipstick was funny. I felt my heart heavy when they showed us the sentiments of the imperial admirals regarding Reinhard's condition, specially Muller's and Mittermeyer's. Reinhard may not be able to conquer another galaxy as Emil predicted, so his next conquest will inevitably be the green meadows of Valhalla. Now that we have been shown that his disease is incurable and unknown, I guess this debunks the theory that Emil was secretly poisoning him.

My heart was clenched in pain when I saw Mittermeyer's nightmare and the sight of Reinhard being escorted by his most (mostly?) loyal admirals. Kircheis, Lennenkampt, Steinmetz, Lutz, Kemp, Fahrenheit and Reuental. The Empire has lost so many fine men, but alas, this is the pricce to pay for peace. I suppose Reuental was right, as high quality blood would have to be shed in order to bring forth this much desired utopia.

Only one episode remains. One more page left to the story of the galaxy.

damn you narrator, you did it again (and probably for the last time). though it's not entirely sure reinhard gonna die next episode, he basically said it will be his last cruise on space. he can be staying ruler of the empire for a lot of time from now. he will probably though won't have the health to go out of phezzan to conquer another galaxy. lol

rubinsky just couldn't die without his schemes isn't he? fox through the end lol.

reinhard saw through julian's plans easily lol. i don't get why he just doesn't negotiate for republic on heinsen for isserlohn fortress.
i also loled very much when he saw the flaw in his plan.

one episode left and i still cannot see how they end this without closure on the terraist. the way i see it julian should have just negotiate the disc he have in return for the empire will avenge yang's death on the terraist. hope this matter won't be disappoint in the last episode :(

RUBINSKY GOES OUT WITH A BANG! 5/5!!

What more can I say? There were some interesting developments but this was my favorite part. I knew the Dark Fox had one last card. RIP Adrian Rubinsky, the best antagonist of the series by FAR.

Now that we’re heading to the last episode, I want to give my season ranking for LOGH:

3rd > 2nd > 1st > 4th

My only real gripe with this season overall was the first part and how they struggled to established Reuental’s rebellion. Isenhorn’s part was not that strong up until the season’s finale. But really, what can you do after that fantastic third season? Difficult task indeed.

One episode to go… I’ll miss this show so much.

@Mr_Esteva
I get a feeling that for you the show has been progressively worse the longer it went, and then suddenly became great again.
funny how I completely agree though

There's no way Rubinsky could have set up explosives below all of Heinessen without getting caught or at least having the bombs be found out...

More importantly, I don't want Reinhard to die T_T

And so everything is closer than ever to the endgame of this series...

With the surprising death of Rubinsky, I don't think the remaining villain will be able to go out in better fashion, crazy of Rubinsky never met any of the main characters and just managed to do his own thing till the moment caught, would've been crazy interesting to see him having an interaction with Reinhard... At least that explosion idea was his lifes Magnum Opus in a certain type of way

Reinhard's health is in serious decline sadly, no doubt that Julian is noticing this too, their dialogue and getting along factor is looking great, wondering how much more will Julian be able to see and do inside Reinhard's circle.

Have to mention the sofa scene with Bitterfeld  and of course Mittermeyer seeing the whole Reinhard entering Vahalla scene which was an absolute beauty, really makes me feel bad for Gale Wolf everytime he suffers with thoughts like these.

I guess next episode is truly gonna be one for the ages
