| This reminded me of a certain Ashita no Joe episode. One of the best episodes I've seen in a long time and maybe of all time. RIP Yang |
| One of the most funniest and fitting deaths this entire series. Yang dies because he was having a sleeping pill and didn't want to call out for Julian and because he chose 'foolish' people who couldn't beat him at 3d chess to travel with him. It's like the anime needed a excuse for getting Yang out of the plot. This is far worse than the time when his ex's fiancee died in episode 1. So many death flags around, couldn't take Yang death seriously anymore. I guess this shows something important. It takes only one emotional foolish decision to knock you off your arse. Always stand your ground, and never compromise. Though I must really appreciate the guts of the earth cult in killing him They efficiently used a distraction during the dark night when Yang is most vulnerable and killed him. And I guess they did what Reinhardt couldn't do in a thousand years. Like they say, to kill a magician, you got to beat him at his own game. Checkmate Yang. May you Rest in pieces. eski514 said: See, kids? That's why you don't take sleeping pills. Drugs KILL. Lol this quote. |

 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I think it was pretty apparent Yang was going to die. I was mostly shocked at the timing... there are quite a few episodes left. I was expecting a major but not Yang/Reinhardt type death until the last 5ish episodes. The hopelessness by the crew was written very well. I couldn’t even register the death until Julian freaked out. To realize he was shot in such a place by a nobody is so heartbreaking. I thankfully didn’t watch the preview to the episode. I haven’t been that speechless from a death in a long time. |
 |
| you know? in another universe Reinhard an Yang had apic axe duel in the middle of a flaming Brunhild while the spirits of Kircheis an Yessica were cheering for them... an with sakuga animation at that |
 |
| RIP Yang, that's just sad they just underestimated Yang's protection.. way too much That was the most disappointing death and sad.. he didn't deserve it |
"Signature removed"   |
| RIP Yang Wenli I knew he was going to die as soon as I saw the preview in episode 81, and figured he probably would eventually from how many times he avoided death, but I wasn't expecting him to bleed to death after being shot in the leg. This hits me really hard... I don't know what to say other than he didn't deserve to die like this, it should have been an honorable death like Admiral Bucock. |

| I hate the narrator and his spoilers... That moment that could have been unpredictable was just the opposite by his fault. It was a good sad scene, anyway. Now I don't know what the show will do in order to not be less interesting. |
| I can finally say it. I already got spoiled years ago while reading a comment on the forums, sucks, but the series was heavily hinting at it anyway and a few episodes ago I saw this thread having so many comments, I was definitely more than prepared...or so I thought at least. This damn episode hit me like a meteor. Had even to wait one day to collect myself in order to continue the series. And despite all that, I still don't want to accept the fact that Yang is gone for good, that's how depressing the thought is. But mad props to the people who worked on this masterpiece of an episode. The way it was directed and the narrator who added to the experience. You knew it was going to happen and waiting for it was just excruatingly intense. Knowing that it wouldn't be Fork was a little relief, tho. And the fact that Yang, who always wanted to live a chill life, who within his last moments acknowled that he sent countless others to their deaths, died at the hand of a nobody in a almost pathetic manner, that was somewhat poetic. And as sad as it was, Yang didn't fail to make us laugh for a last time with his "bloody Yang" pun, even if just for a second. It was like he was saying, don't be sad. It's definitely something that elevates the death of a hero and the classic hommage to a certain character was the icing on the cake. R.i.p. Yang Wen-li. I sure as hell would've loved to see him survive, but I can hardly complain given how impactful it was. And there are hella lot of possibilites how characters and plot can develop from here on. And oh boy, it will surely be interesting to see the reactions, especially of three certain characters. |

| Thanks god i always avoid the narrator in this series so that i can avoid such a horrible spoiler If someone like a narrator ruined such a magnificent moment like this i would be enraged as ever.... It was obvious than julian was going to replace yang one day but man that's way too early damn it.... He doesn't deserve it ever, in the whole anime he didn't receive the treatment he should have had like longrham for example and even his death too... That's too depressing and unsatisfying , that's what makes logh great.... |

| He's gone, just like that? By the hands of a faceless lunatic? I think my blood just ran cold. I can't believe that just happened. I also don't think I can look at sleeping pills in the same way ever again because of this episode. |
| I dont think this death was done right. Something is massively wrong when Yang Wenli is my favorite character and I didnt cry when he died after 82 episodes of character development. But I cried when Kircheis died after only like 28 episodes. |
| Yang was just trying to sleep with the pills... well... now he can sleep forever... |
| they really had to break my heart like that huh. yang, you'll be immensely missed! the only fleet admiral of my heart ♡ |
Chai11 said: After watching episode 82, I decided to go back to episode 81 to watch the preview for 82 and I can't help but hysterically laugh at the narration because omg holy shez. REALLY? REALLY NOW? Thanks to these boards, I've avoided the previews since episode 1 but after watching the preview for 82, I'm just like woooow that narrator. ARE U SERIUS?!? ARE YOU FURREAL? Hahaha yeah, they just want you to buy the next episode, who cares if that completely ruins your experience. I just LOVE how they keep hinting at Oberstein being kind of responsible for most tragedies (Westerland, Kircheis, Earth cult presence on the Empire thanks to Lang, Lennenkampf, and now Yang's death), almost like he was an Earth cultist himself, yet at the same time they keep showing how loyal he is to Reinhard and the Empire. My guess is that in the novel he's portrayed as an ambiguous historical figure who may or may not be a traitor (or just a Machiavellian saint), something that's way harder to do on film... Or perhaps the series will reveal his true intentions later, I dunno. I also love how Kircheis has way more influence now than before his death, back when he and Reinhard were clearly starting to take separate ways. He's like Ben Kenobi, being stronger dead. And of course, gotta love that red herring, the Rossenritters arriving, and even Yang hearing Julian before getting shot, all made to lower our guard even after so many red flags. Very suspenseful episode even if you know what's going to happen, like the iceberg scene from Titanic. |

| 2:55 on June 1st, Space Calendar 800. Yang Wenli's time stopped at age 33. You're gonna carry that weight. Although, it was foreshadowed from the first ending with Yang fading away, and in effect passing the torch on to Julian who is left behind to gaze at the expanse of the universe. Still, I hoped he would live the rest of his days living in peaceful retirement with Frederica, reading all the history books he could ever want, and pass from old age. It's the least he deserved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His last words to the Yang Fleet: "No, that won't work, Julian. That would be discourteous to the Kaiser who offered to talk with me on equal terms. If we displease the Kaiser and he loses his desire for talks the opportunity for peace may be gone forever. And now, if we fight against the Imperial Fleet again, there's basically no chance for victory." "Moreover, we've lost Vice Admiral Fischer. Coming up with tactics alone won't win us any battles. If the fleet doesn't have the ability to execute the plan flawlessly, there's nothing we can do. If we refuse the offer of talks now, it would be an act of suicide." His only voiced objection is to Poplan when he volunteers to accompany him: "There's no way we'll get into aerial combat, so you have no place on this stage." His last words to Julian: "Don't be silly. I've always counted on you. Ever since that day six years ago when you dragged along a trunk that was larger than your body at the time." "If I was unable to go, I'd have you go in my place. But because I can, I'll go. That's all." "By the way, Julian. Be honest. Who do you like better, Cazellnu's daughter or Schenkopp's daughter? Depending on your decision, I'll have to be prepared for it, you know?" His last conversation with Frederica: "Frederica, I'm just going to go meet the most handsome man in the universe. I'll be back in about two weeks." "Please take care. Oh, your hair is a little messy." "Aw, it's okay. Don't worry about it." "No. You're going to be meeting the second most handsome man in the universe, you know? "See you." His last mumbles to his subordinates who are on high alert: "Um, I've taken a sleeping pill so I'm rather sleepy." His last words: "Well, this doesn't look good... Oh dear, Miracle Yang became Blood-soaked Yang. I'm sorry, Frederica. I'm sorry, Julian. I'm sorry, everyone." |
| A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more. |
| As soon as Yang took that sleeping pill and then got up the dread just hit me, I knew something was going to happen. I did not expect to lose one of my favorite characters in the show, that hit me hard. My mouth was wide open the whole time he was wandering those corridors, what a way to go... I'm not looking forward to Frederica finding out. |
| That's kinda cringe but I laughed |
| Rewatching LOTGH. Unlike last time, I cried alot when he died for almost 30 min lol. This is prolly the longest ive cried while watching anime ;-; |
 |
| I did not expect that the death of an anime character could make me cry... I love how this show makes you care about all deaths, like the one of Fischer or Fahrenheit. There are no enemies, only victims of foolish ambitions. |
| Last episode my heart stopped for a bit when they said Mittermeyer had died but fortunately they were wrong and I was happy... And now this :( I knew Yang was going to die since I got spoiled but I thought he'd die closer to the end, omg I wasn't ready to see him go! poor Julian and Frederica :( |
 |
| I definitely to kill off yang like this |
 _______I like rocks__  |

| :(((((((((((((( |
| _______I like rocks__ |
| Well it was expected , because opening gave more than enough hints , but that death still hurts sooooooooo much .... |
| I hate everyone equally |
| It seems I was also right thinking LOTGH is Reinhard's story. Also because of openings. So much foreshadowing. It's safe to assume it's one of Oberstein's doings , right? |
| I hate everyone equally |
| a huge chunk of me just sank like a shipwreck, fuck |
| RIP Yang Wen-li. That was really depressing. :( |
 |
| WHAT THE FUCKKKKK This episode killed me... |
| BRO WHAT THE FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID IT HOW?? HOW COULD DEY??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 |
 |
| i mean i hated yang's character but what a dumb way to get rid of him, not satisfying at all really should have looked at that disc julian and no, he really is one of the worst written characters ever, he started off okay but then became completely contradictory, up his own ass, and surrounded by convenient plot contrivances |
 |
| We all saw it coming because of that bitch ass narrator, but holy hell I got some fat goosebumps. I love that he didn't die from Andrew Fork or Reinhard, he got killed by some random ass person. His death just....happened. Fucking hate heroic, grandiose death scenes so I'm glad. What's even better is that he took a sleeping pill, lol. Drowsy mfer |
