| So many great characters are dying, I'm glad it seems like for the moment oliver somehow was able to survive, hopefully this will be the long needed end to the bloodshed. |

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 |
Tsukaji said: Finally Schenkopp died. This should have happened around 90 episodes ago. Rosenrittens were very boring to watch as they always won. I'll admit the Rosenritter are pretty ridiculous and are one of the few things which shed negative light on the series, but Schenkopp was way too cool of a character to kill off that early. I liked his conversations between pretty much every member of the Yang fleet. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Shit just went full Tomino. |
 |
| Death scene was so dumb. |
 |
| I was expecting a lot of bloodshed and characters to be offed one by one, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Even in the order of deaths. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| That was a pretty good ending to the fight, it was satisfying to know that the Rosenritters weren't OP and invincible to the end. |
 |
| RIP all those good soldiers! Really great episode though, the episodes in general are also getting longer and I'm not surprised with only 2 more left I really wonder how this will end! |
 |
| So many great characters dying ;_; Overall amazing episode! So sad there's only 2 more episodes :( |
 |
| The writers really hate FPA haha. FPA lost so many characters this episode, while Empire lost none. Too bad that both Mashengo and Schoenkopf had to die the same episode. At least Poplan survived. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| RIP Merkatz, Schenkopp, and Mashengo Cant believe they killed the black guy, he almost made it |
| Oh now you can shoot through armor |
 |
| Merkatz...no...and god dammit, SCHENKOPP!!!! Done in by a chubby coward, it's too cruel how these characters meet their ends. It really got me when he thought of Katerose's mother. Even though he always wrote it off as a short-term fling, it seems she was far more precious to him than he realized. I was holding my breath when Julian met Reinhard. Only two episodes left, I want to believe this is finally the time for epilogues but there's still the lingering Terraists which leaves the door open for so much. |
 |
| The Rosenritter were just splendid the whole show through, I just loved all those fierce hand-to-hand battles with Scenkopps comments, and the gore... Although perhaps they were a bit unrealistically overpowered, they were fun to watch, and they did meet their end at last. Many died, but they almost seemed to enjoy their deaths. It'll be interesting to see who survives this bloody mess - it wouldn't surprise me if both Julian and Reinhard would die. |
| So much fucking deaths! R.I.P Merkatz, Mashengo (my nigga), Schenkopp...you won't be forgotten! Cody said: Why didn't I see the death flags? It was so obvious. Being black. Such oppression. RIP Mashengo. LMAO! Everytime I saw that he would survived time after time during his bodyguard duties for Frederica and Julian in earlier episodes, I always thought he was going to make it to the end...oh boy I was so wrong. Hopefully he gives Yang a piece of his mind in Valhalla for his racist remarks haha. |

| R.I.P. Merkatz, the ineffable bastion of aristocracy and dignity. His tribute to foppery and whim was beautiful. R.I.P. Schenkopp, he died pretty much undefeated in melee combat, what a hero. R.I.P. Mashengo, who was clearly given faulty armour. I chuckled at the final door opening automatically for Julian. I can imagine Reinhard getting dressed, sitting on the chair, fixing his hair and then saying "Yup, I'm ready to be fabulous, open that door now." Julian disappointed me by fainting in what was shaping up to be an epic conversation. I hope it continues in the next episode. |
| The beast Schenkopp is gone, even though the plot helped him at some points, I have to admit that he was a cool badass mofo. Excellent Episode, very intense. |
| Didn't expect the alliance to suffer this much, yet i feel like they're a bit rushed, unlike the Empire side where the heroes fall every 10-20 episode or so. However, The execution is still brilliant nonetheless. I really like Merkatz since the beginning of the show, he was cool, true noble and respectful, as he didn't look down on Reinhard unlike many other Nobles just because Reinhard's young, ambitous, talented. The way the speak, his gesture is awesome, but his personality is pretty much complicated like Oberstein, Reuental. The show quite focused on Merkatz in the beginning but soon he got left behind by others and barely get any development, which is a shame. *salute* to he man, he got what he wants, to die gloriously just like many other heroes in this era. I like Schenkopp a bit for his rough personality (yes he's pretty much like Reuental, prefer brute force) yet sometimes he made good statement about democracy vs autocracy. Despite the fact that he and his gang are a little bit OP, but he definitely got one hell of a dying scene, i still prefer Lutz when he died while standing. *salute* to the man, he led an rather stormy life and yet he had no regret, really respect his will and decision. Almost fell of my chair when i see Reinhard sitting on the chair already and wait for Julian lol, his pride is probably the biggest one in the universe, yet it's stilla feast for the eye to see such delicate scene, the leader of both side confronting each other, having a decent talk after all the mess they went through. The show is coming to an end and this is definitely one of the highlight. |
| Couldn't even finish this episode, that's how full of BS this was. A handful of people enter the enemy mothership and mow their way through overwhelming numbers of enemies like it's nothing. Lol, even Julian who isn't even trained as a soldier can grab an axe and just swing away at the incompetent Imperials. This is honestly worse than battle shounen level of BS. I'd take a shounen friendship speech and power-up anytime of the day over the insane Republican bias this show has. Even with just 2 episodes left, there's just no point in continue watching. We all know Reinhard will die at this point. Julian will probably be recognised for his skill and bravery and whatnot and be spared (and in the worst case be given back Heinessen). It'll be a happy end, for the Republicans, at least. Not one worth watching. |

I hope you are just being facetious about Julian being untrained, because he had in fact been trained in marksmanship and close quarters combat by the Rosen Ritter and is considered as good enough to be their "associate" (see episode 39). |

Just 2 episode left, give it a try, at least you can fast forward to see the ending lol. |
MagisterArcanum said: I hope you are just being facetious about Julian being untrained, because he had in fact been trained in marksmanship and close quarters combat by the Rosen Ritter and is considered as good enough to be their "associate" (see episode 39). Really? That's a long time ago. But see, we never see him actually training and honing his skills. We never see his progress in combat skills grow throughout the series. In combat, he's always sitting at Yang's side, and after that he is doing the commanding himself. He just somehow got good at swinging an axe (unlike any of the trained soldiers at the Empire), even though his role isn't that of a foot soldier. (Come to mention it, I do remember a few scenes of him training. But yeah, it's pretty much left at that, and never builds on it. Just because he was trained a couple of years ago by the best, doesn't mean he should be able to plow through hordes of trained soldiers all by himself.) CzeroC said: Too bad then, i admire your patience for being able to pull 108 episode with little enjoyment. Just 2 episode left, give it a try, at least you can fast forward to see the ending lol. There were plenty of episodes that were enjoyable, so it's not really that. I'm just sad they went for the weakest ending possible and denied the Empire its victory, despite the fact it had a massive advantage the whole way through. This show goes so far out of its way to favour the Republicans every single time, it just feels unfair, and it's difficult to take it seriously, when battles never really came down to strategy, tactics or fleet size in the first place. The only thing that mattered was whether you had Yang or Julian on your side or not. Even though we're constantly being told how skilled and experienced the Imperial commanders are, not a single one ever manages a significant victory. Not even Reinhard himself can win, even though he had 8x the fleet size of that of the Republicans. If I wanted a bullshit ending, I'd have watched Fairy Tail, but it's not something I wanted from this show. I'd thought this show would be better than that and give us a fair and realistic ending, rather than letting the "good guys" win because they're the underdogs and because Empires are evil. |

However, there's one thing i'd like to point out for you, probably most fan of LoGH knows this: there's no "good" side here in this epic space opera. If you notice, there's a quote on the 2nd OP: "In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same". My point being, when it comes to war, you can hardly tell who's right or wrong, however it's thanks to the countless deeds that many heroes are bornt, and mankind has evolved this far, hence the title of the anime. The show has many hidden theme behind and the conflict between the 2 side is not the only thing this show is about, but i do respect and understand your opinion, the show is flawed, but take a look at what it had built up after more than 100 episode, you might realize something else. Have a good one. |

Have a good one. I do realise there's no "good" side, hence I put "good guys" between quote tags, which is exactly why I found it sad to see the Empire lose in LotGH, because in most stories, Empires are depicted as evil, so people expect to see the Empire lose. It would have been far more interesting to see the Imperial side win for once, but the fact it settled for the underdog victory ruined it for me, especially with how far it went out of its way to humiliate the Empire time and time again. Another reason I used "good guys" to describe the Republicans is because all of its main cast were depicted as likeable people, with no real character flaws. Yeah, Yang was supposed to be lazy, but this never got in the way of his military activities or anything similarly important. Julian somehow just got good at everything, from being a superior close quarters fighter to a master strategist. Yang's wife picks up the role as politic leader without problems. The 2 pilot characters somehow became legendary dogfighters over the course of the show (the girl is only 17 years old, lol). Everybody on the Republican side - amongst the main crew - was friendly, nice and understanding to each other. Outside of its characters, it's also their military weaknesses that are being downplayed. Like, they never run out of resources, despite being locked in a fortress in the middle of space. They always have enough people to fight their battles, despite thousands dying in a battle. (And yes, they did resort to empty battleships in the last battle which didn't act at all like a regularly manned battleship would, yet nobody in the Empire noticed this and they ran right into the trap regardless.) Even though the show continues to remind us the Republicans are running low on resources during the battles, they never actually have to hold back or run out of anything. They just fire away like crazy and always get to retreat safely when it suits them. Meanwhile, the Imperial side had characters with real flaws that impacted events in the story (perhaps with the exception of Mittermeyer). Like, Reuental had to pay with his life because he wouldn't let his pride take a hit. Reinhard underperformed in battles or had to stay away from the battlefield because his sickness got in the way. Oberstein was great at what he did, but he was disliked by most of the higher-ups because of his coldness. Basically, it was like watching real people being put to fight against a bunch of Mary Sues who manage to turn around the tide against all odds, because the writers seem to favour them that much. It felt unfair and undeserved. |
| First Merkatz died! After Schenkopt...sad very sad.... ....Julian arrived at the Reinharts room and all stopped!!! |
| Schenkopp I really wanted him to survive but sadly he died in a really manly way RIP. Merkatz lived only 63 years he looked way older seriously they should have made him Look a little bit younger, I didn't really cared for Mashengo since we never got a character Development for him. And the fact that Reinhard's life is in danger because of his so called incurable illness, I wonder if can survive till the end. |
| Manly tears were shed ;_; *Salute* |
| Humans cannot go against their fate |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Mashengo's death was sad, but I wasn't really saddened by it. I respect him for being a great bodyguard, but that was all he ever was. He wasn't developed as a character for me to feel any connection to him. I didn't care much for Merkatz either. While he was indeed a great admiral, I'd found his reason for going to the FPA to be rather dumb and very stubborn. Lastly, Schenkopp. Lol. I think I might've liked him at one point, not sure, but I definitely didn't like him later on when Rosenritters were winning every single time, as well his overall arrogance. Yes, Reinhard is also the same, but he does it with elegance. I have to say though, I do want to apologize to him for saying that he would kill Reinhard if he had gotten to the Kaiser before Julian. I mean he would, but this episode showed that he respects Julian's wishes. Although still, I do not like his comment about had he had 3 more minutes to fight Reuenthal, he would've take his head and displayed(?) Reuenthal's eyes like jewels...that's just disgusting. I don't care if he meant it as a joke. I would've been happy if Poplan had died I feel like I'm a cold person... The scene where Julian arrives at Reinhard's room was great. I liked how Reinhard didn't let Mueller or Mittermeyer help Julain up, making Julian walk over on his own. Whatever is Julian's full proposal is, I look forward to hearing it. What he began to say seemed interesting, something that I believe Reinhard would be willing to accept. Anyways, I share the same sentiments as Milennin. I really want to see the Empire win because of autocracy's usual negative portrayal in fiction. Here, we have the ideal situation with an amazing leader and great subordinates. But it falling apart due to Reinhard's illness? That's unbearable to see. The character flaws of major characters in the Empire made the said characters very interesting to watch. Far better than those in the FPA having conversations about sleeping or wooing women. I definitely understand people enjoying their antics, it's lighthearted, it can be funny, but I personally can't relate to such conversations. |
| Rolling out all the expendable deaths in this episode. |
 |
| I felt bad for Merkatz only: I was never interested in Mashengo and Schenkopp... well, he had to die at some point: he was too powerful. Well, time to see what Julian has to say. |
 |
| This episode turned out to be pretty emotional due to all the deaths and the revelation about Reinhard's illness. I don't really want to nitpick here, but why and where did Poplan lose his axe so that he needed to fight with bare hands? In the previous scene he was fighting through the Imperials with it. Although I can come up with some explanations (like, his axe was shot by a laser and he didn't have a chance to pick another one from the floor because of the crossfire and escaped from the overwhelming Imperials chasing him and Julian with bare hands), this looks like a plothole. Not very serious though. Also, Julian could've just smashed Kisling with his axe while he was fighting with Poplan, but I guess it's not honorable and everything. |
| Damn not Admiral Merkatz and his subordinate :( They outlive so many Empire's Admirals, I guess they're satisfied already I kinda wish he lived till the end RIP Mashengo and Schenkopp It was always a shame when many characters flopped dead so suddenly at the same time |
"Signature removed"   |
| I was ready for some deaths, but this was overkill ;_; Merkatz was on my list of characters whose death I was anticipating. He was a reapectable man till the very end. Mashengo's sacrifice was also someting I imagined could happen. Liked him since he saved Frederica back then, definitely sad to see him gone. And as for Schenkopp. Retrospectively, there were tons of flags, but the moment where he was hit off guard still shocked me. Wanted to see him as granpda so badly.. bye bye you loveable asshole. Big fat R.I.P. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Alot of deaths in this episode: Merkatz, Mashengo, Schenkopp... At least they got to die fighting. Looking forward to the last two episodes. |
 |
| i miss you already schenkopp :( |
| Damn, this had to be one of the best and emotional episodes in the entire show, salute to everyone that died in glory, Merkatz, Schenkopp, Mashengo and that other blonde guy the friend of Schenkopp i don't remember his name, 2 episodes left, oh boy i can't even imagine how this show will come to an end! |
| RIP bad boy Schenkopp, racist caricature Mashengo, and Charles Bronson Merkatz. You were all badly written yet kind of charming characters. |
| too many deaths. too many tears. |
 |
| People started dropping like flies but I at least wanted Schenkopp to make it to the end of the series |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Julian is the best character |
| RIP Schenkopp. I can't believe I had to witness the end of a legend. :( Man was this a bloodbath... |
 |
| Absolute fucking bloodbath. I didn't cry at any of the deaths this episode (unlike reuentals and Yangs) but you know, a salute is fine. Major respect to Julian, I thought he was gonna be your average pussy during the first season but I'm happy to say I was wrong. |
| man. |
| damn. that end was so epic. julian going and almost falling, after killing reinhard's soldiers, there's a keisar waiting for him elegantly with legs crossed, watching the man almost falling from exhaust, waiting to hear what he have to say. and when that man supposedly wants to teach the keisar new tricks, he's just falling apart. keisar responds: stop the battle, peace will come with negotiations. truly masterpiece and epic scene. only LOGTH could make it happen. the irony is though, that isserlohn's forces are quite beaten up. only attenborouh left to fight the good fight, and the black lancers destroying isserlohn's ships one after another. and also the envade group being annihilated. there's not war anymore, only one peaceful messenger in julian character. there's no stopping reinhard to win them right here right now. but no, julian do stand on the last piece of the war. i was so loled when myrtmyer just thought "wait, bittnfield will be pissed for not doing his attack. let them do it" xDD merkatz's purposes finally appeared at the verge of his death. his reasons were never really being clear, but i think his last words had been said it, he never wanted to get to live and fight for democracy, he just wanted to die where he supposed to die. it's very understood for those who remembers the scene where he wanted to kill himself. in the end he's no different from reuntha, he's stubborn and prideful just like him. to be honest, i dunno if i'm sad about schenkopp death. it's not that i don't like him, but i also don't love him so much. as a character he always had good and interesting idea. but as fighter he was just too OP. so in that sense i'm glad he got killed, he wouldn't do any good to live longer and cuts more people heads. if he would politician i may had like him more. lol 2 episodes to the end :( really hope that except empire vs republic war, we will have closure on the terraists. oh and i haven't said yet about reinhard's illness. i find it very weird that only after being threatened they found it out. and weirder that it happens almost everytime he's on offensive. i still can't get over the emil's poisoning theory. |
