| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Gunpowder pistol duel, huh? hehe... Lutz dropping in randomly and giving Reinhard some pro-tips was a major wtf moment. And the assasin looks really evil :P |

| I just realized that u are only 1 day ahead of me :D Pretty boring arc imo. Nothing really happens. |
| yea, this arc is pretty boring. Its not bad though. |

| Call me strange, but I honestly enjoyed this arc quite a bit, maybe because it gives us some more insight into the aristocratic customs of the Empire. |
Gunther_ said: Call me strange, but I honestly enjoyed this arc quite a bit, maybe because it gives us some more insight into the aristocratic customs of the Empire. True. And that makes me hate the aristocrats even more. I mean, such MORONIC customs...Jeez! Come to think of it, every arc in SL really does add something to the LOTGH universe. With this arc, I just dont like the plot. Its so boring and predictable. |

| Oh, I wasn't even aware until now that a pistol duel existed - and in that format too. Maybe I just like my men wielding swords, but the pistol duel looks silly, tbh. I love all these cameos. Not Benemunde's, though. I don't know why she has to keep reappearing. |
Athena said: 0_o . . . You have seriously never seen 10 paces then shoot? That is like . . . Well, Pistols have been the norm in duels since the 1700's . . . Oh, I wasn't even aware until now that a pistol duel existed - and in that format too. Maybe I just like my men wielding swords, but the pistol duel looks silly, tbh. Anyways, I wonder if Reinhard is going to have to kill this guy, or maybe they will set him up to look like he was killed by Reinhard should he fail . . . Although faking a bullet wound from a pistol like that would be kind of hard from in the crowd (given the loud ass sound and inaccuracy) |
 |
| Average development, let's see what happens next! |
 |
| Cornelius Lutz making an appearance was totally random. Loving these little cameos from all of Reinhardt's future admirals spread out throughout the side stories. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| At first I thought the Assassin was going to frame Reinhard for murder, but now he instead took the place of the would be duelist, that is even more low. A lot of people hate Reinhard's sister. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Stupid aristocrats and their lame tricks to get more fame or money. I was sure that was an assassin the moment I saw him, let's see if he can hit Reinhard. |
 |
| OVA spoiler: |
| wew lad I didn't think I'd get some proper Onegin or Pechorin duels in anime |
| Now now we get to see Lutz meeting Reinhard and Sieg for first time, a great teacher and respectable man. |
The pistol blast sound was a bit out of place. It sounded very fake. |
 |
| Im so glad I continued watching this side story, I have to admit the first half was boring at times, but when Reinhard and Kircheis appeared it started getting interesting very quickly. The story-line of Reinhard and Kircheis is just awesome! |

| Oh, so Reinhard first met Lutz here, he's nice teacher The rules of these duels are a little vague, they can't aim at the chest but no one wears protective equipments? Anyone can cheat easily lol The new duelist is pretty cool |
 |
| The duel traditions and backstory behind the past history are really intresting , that assasin truly is a mysterious figure so far. So thats how Lutz was met first time by Reinhard, guess hes a very talented sharpshooter just like Kircheis |
| The way those aristocrats talked about Kaiser's succession rubbed me the wrong way. It's all that matters to them, achieving position through consorting and giving birth to the esteemed linage without lifting a finger to actually do something to deserve said esteem. All throughout the little girl with a pony was shown while they talked about her as if she herself is worth no more than a livestock. Disgusting. Was nice to see Lutz, and of course Reinhard will remember his name. A suspicious dark figure appears, hmm, hmm, what a good idea to hire him right after the previous dualist was shot!.... Anyway, so far these stories focused on Reinhard and Kircheis are much more interesting than Spiral Labyrinth. |
