"let me lean on your shoulder kircheies. Wake me up when we get there."

lol. Reinhard is such a baby...despite all the show he puts up on the outside- Kaiser keeps Annerose locked up and reinhard hardly sees his sister- poor guy has no one besides kircheies.

I have this uneasy feeling that Annerose had nothing to do with this. I wonder what did she do to get him to help...

I think she was the one who asked the kaiser to end the fight

Considering the way she acted at the beginning of the arc, it's a pretty good bet.

LOL, Kircheis knows how to perform semi-major surgery, too. These gaiden episodes have also informed us that he's a master in combat, fist fight, zero-gravity fight, shooting, apparently fencing, socialising, and he also has such keen observation skills and/or brilliant memory judging by him noticing how the painting had moved. What can the man not do?
Oh right. /sob

yea, I wish I was like kircheis. Minus the Reinhard obsession part.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Reinhard obsession. :3 Besides, I'd say Reinhard is the one with the Kircheis obsession.

Yeah . . . The animation is worse in this OVA than in the original series made I think 10-20 years prior . . . Of course it probably had a larger budget and more time but still, kind of sad seeing one of the reasons LoGH was so great kind of forsaken (i.e. going through great lengths to have an amazing end product)

I dont see anything wrong with that picture. The guy below obviously has his head in the pants of the guy above him. duh. Probably showing the woman how to do it.

Nice dual so far but I do wonder what the last episode of this arc will offer us!

AnneRose must have given the Emperor the night of his life in exchange for this little favour. Reinhardt was rather lucky to be bailed out like that.

That's what I like about LOGH (even in these OVA's that are a tad inferior to the main series). Even the most exalted characters have plenty of faults and cannot do everything without the help of others.

I wonder if Annerose had something to do with it.

Also. That really great bromance at the end

Reinhard blushing is always cute. <3

That duel was intense and the assassin isn't through with Reinhard yet.

Reinhard and Kircheis are so gay for each other and nothing can convince me otherwise. They kinda remind me of Suzaku and Lelouch tbh except Kircheis hasn't betrayed his best friend lover and I hope he never does.

That guy is skilled.
Let's see how does he intend to kill Reinhard, I doubt that he will go and ask for another duel.

I just cannot get enough of the homoeroticism. I cannot. :D

I thought Reinhard was poisoned there at the end when he fell asleep, though I'm probably wrong.

That guy fought Reinhard with his non dominant arm like a beast, having a guy like that on your side would be a big advantage.

Same thinking, but the narrator said it was the conclusion of the case and that "but" came in well at least it was not poison.

The action scenes during the duel didn't look great with this digital looking animation. Also Reinhard's eyes looked very oddly placed on his face in a scene or two.

Really average animation, otherwise the duel was interesting and I'm glad the opponent didn't give up. Curious to watch the following episode

I guess Annerose stepped in some way, thanks to her <3

The bond between Reinhard and Kircheis is really strong, true friendship

Really nice duel, all the small details that were shown were a pleasant addition, I kinda had a feeling that Reinhard might be able to fight off the assasin in duel but still felt like he might not pull it off

Can't believe that his sister actually used the influence to cancel the duel but I guess this is a winning thing for more than one person.
