| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool episode, with the end of the fight between Ning and Yin, as well as the destruction of the fortress. Damn this was a really scary episode, with Yin losing control, and with the cannon almost destroying the Empire in one shot. Since Zhao lost his vision, Ning and Zhao are now together as one complements the other, that's quite cute actually haha And so it ends. I kind of liked the 1st half more than the 2nd, but overall i think it was interesting and fun to watch, i would 100% watch a 2nd season, and might even check the Taiwanese drama one of these days. 7/10 |

| Acceptable ending, not as good as I imagined it would be, but acceptable. Tbh, the conflict is still going, since only the traitorous general was beaten, and the Empress (who now has became colder) and her underlings are still in control of the Empire, so the fight of Yin and the rebels hasn't ended yet. At least both Ning and Zhao ended alive, with a price, but alive. Wouldn't mind a second season to conclude the story properly, but since only Yin and the Empress would keep being relevant (since the ending basically rendered Zhao and Ning useless to perform what they were good in), I'm not sure if I would like it as much as this one, mostly because I don't find the supporting characters all that engaging. |

| This was a sad episode indeed, Zhao lost his eyesight and and Ning lost her limbs. Pretty bad stuff. I thought Zhao would die in a self sacrifice crusade, but I'm glad he didn't. As for Meng, he died in a stupid way possible and kinda deserved it for his stupid revolution. Cheng is still bent on destiny and wants to conquer the world for the empire, I guess she can't escape it. I guess it is now up to Yin to stop her, on that note I hope there will be a season 2 for their first meeting. Overall I liked this show, it kept me entertained for the last 13 weeks with all the drama, action and jealousy. 8/10. |

| When I watched this episode, I thought one of them are gonna die but oh well this ending is acceptable too.. even better in my opinion. I was hoping to see some kind of war like at Arslan Senki or Shoukoku no Altair but what I got is a bunch of people with super powers instead, those rebels and troops just got shot by the cannon and poof~ nothing left... Sadly the story is not finished yet and it's a cliffhanger ending. |
 |
| Ya know I would have preferred for Ning and Zhao to die, Too bad for the ambitious Commander Meng, but anywayz the ending is acceptable, now if this were to have another season , It would be Yin vs Cheng, since the Taiban army hasn't been defeated yet. So romance wise Zhao ends up with Ning. |
| Hmm, okay yet disappointing ending. I think I would have liked this more if Cheng had gone down a path of redemption rather than just remaining who she is because of it's her fate and she believes she can't change it. The anime pretty much ended the way it started, nothing was really resolved other Zhoa's love life. I'm not sure if they do a second season how they will be able to carry on from this. Overall, decent anime but it could much more. |

"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you." "I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one." "The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull." "People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery. "If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself." "You want something go get it. Period." |
| oh how tragic! Ning even lost both her legs! And as for Pu Zhao he's blind lost both his eyes! as for Yin, she's still with the rebels. So that's it? no more continuation? feels like we're just half way through the series... 4/5. 7/10. |

| Bittersweet end. They all somehow survived, yet they lost a lot. Can't believe Ning lost all her limbs. Poor girl. And Zhao's blind now. Jesus... Personally, I liked the characters. And I found them realistic. I sympathized with and pitied both Ning and Cheng. Cheng is now stuck with her fate of being an empress trying to rule over everything, despite being a young girl; and now she has to deal with the realization that she killed her father. All the characters had a selfish side, including Yin. Was it not selfish to save Ning's life? Ning didn't want to be saved anymore and she was tired of being protected. And of course saving Ning's life comes with the high price of Ning having no legs. I kind of liked this show overall, honestly. |
| Disappointing ending was disappointing |
| OVerall really really underrated. I wish Cheng and Zhao made up at the very end. |
