| Man the dialogue between Reinhard and Yang was absolutely amazing, I could really feel the underline tension hidden behind the friendly smiles and warm chuckles. |
| I feel like Emil did poison Yang's coffee, but Yang just luckily avoided it because he's a tea person. If Emil did, then we would probably know later. But if we don't hear anything about it, then I'm wrong and he really was only giving Yang the stink eye XD But yeah, like everyone else said, amazing episode. Despite being on different sides, they aren't enemies, they are civil and respect each other. As for the content of their discussion, we once again see Yang's wisdom. It's really wonderful that he has such insight, however, I keep feeling that despite his wisdom, he's able to do little with it, except to influence others and give them a broader view of the world. I guess maybe that's what's important? He's not the hero, but the one who will create the hero...or something. Lol. While Yang says a lot of thought-evoking things, my main reason for rooting for Reinhard is because Reinhard acts upon his ideology and tries to better the world for the people. I basically agree with Seabury's post. But Yang is an interesting character in that way. If the opposing side was like Reinhard, then we'd have a very different story. |
| "If only my friend was alive you would be here but not alive" That was actually pretty rude to say but hey it's the blonde brat We are talking about, I wonder if that is true. That mother fucker Trunhit run away damn I wanted him to die A miserable death. The earth cult has some nasty plans and I think Reinhard's next Struggle gonna be them not the FPA. And Finally, Yang got married, I don't think his retirement will last Much long. |
eyerok said: I know I am 8 years late with this quote lol but I agree. I felt really sad when watching him look at the throne and they both were standing there. well you guys pretty much summed it up for me. Except for this one thing...it was really heart-wrenching to see Reinhard finally winning everything but losing the only two people int he universe he cared about. One is dead, the other wont see him. *ends emo rant :P* |
| Yang and Reinhardt meeting was intense, I couldn't believe it was going to happen. Everything is pretty much solved, as far as the Alliance-Empire war goes, I wonder what will happen next. |

CyberNT said: hamune76 said: The right to violate the rights of the people belongs to the people... Why should they have the rightt? That was a very strange statement indeed. Maybe it is not a very good translation of the original japanese phrase? I got the feeling that the point of this Yang's speech was that in an autocracy it's easy to make the sole ruler responsible for all mistakes, and in a democratic state this responsibility can somehow be distributed between everyone because people vote for the government, and thus democracy is better regardless of how good an autocrat can be. It makes a bit more sense from Yang's point of view than "the right to violate the rights of other people belongs to the people", I guess. Also, what was exactly the reason for making Lennenkampf responsible for ruling the FPA? He is said to be bad at administrative tasks and he holds a grudge against Yang and FPA because of his silly losses, so what's the point? Does it serve the purpose of weakeking FPA's economy by assigning it a ruler with military principles so that it cannot become the 2nd Phezzan? Okaaay, it makes sense, probably. Finally, Yang retires, but nobody can give him his pension now. What a pity. |

Finally, Yang retires, but nobody can give him his pension now. What a pity. Well, Yang believes that democracy is better than autocracy because good governance in a democracy is ultimately the responsibility of the people. Whereas in an autocracy people can simply shove the responsibility to the king/dictator/etc if anything bad happens. As for Lennenkampf, he's not actually ruling the Alliance; rather he's been appointed as the Imperial high commissioner to the Alliance. Normally that would mean that he would simply be an ambassador representing his country, but given that the Alliance has been reduced into a client state of the Empire, he would have the discretionary power to influence the internal affairs of the Alliance. Whether his appointment is necessarily a wise one would be explored in Series 3. Also, since the Alliance government still exists (albeit in a weakened state), Yang would be able to claim his pension =) |
| The meeting was epic. It sent chills down my spine. |
| I don't understand why Reinhard's sister didn't go to his coronation. |
| Yang actually got a better ending that I expected, but is it actually the end though? Looks like the sick Empire noble will become a "thing" for the earth cult This doesn't look very good Damn Reinhard, that ending is just sad.. I want to cry for him :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| It was a shame that Yang had to lose like that, but damn, him and Reinhard meeting gotta be one of the most EPIC moments in entertaiment history. I couldn't stop grinning due to the awesomeness. Another emotional moment was when Kaiser Reinard saw Kircheis and Annerose;_; Can't wait to see the new direction of the series. It will surely be amazing as well. Earth Cult about to make a move. I was already wondering what kind of role Hilda's sick cousin would play, but I guess it's his time now. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The best moment was looking at Reinhard's empty desk, since he wanted to talk with Yang as an equal. |
| Both the moments (The meeting and Reinhard's coronation) carried such an impact. Easily one of the top anime episodes I've seen. ---- Lets see how the Earth Cult plotline gets resolved. |

| If we took out the Earth Cult shenanigans this would've been the perfect ending and I would be completely satisfied with it. But that's not it, we're only halfway through. What else is to come? Only moving forward we'll know. I wish the whole episode was just Yang and Reinhard talking/debating over everything they've been through, their beliefs, struggles and their plans towards the future, their conversation was neat but didn't satisfy me entirely, I can only hope for them to meet again some day under either similar or different circumstances, any will satisfy me. Now to move forward on. |
| nah fk reinhard mans bcumming sus |
 |
| Alwrite them meeting was so good and well done possibly one of the best moments in anime, yang has retired soemthing he had dreamed of, Julian's gonna visit earth, don't know what the grand Bishop is planning |
| Reinhard and Yang meeting was reason alone to love this episode. God knows we have been waiting for this moment for a while. |
| What a great episode. Finally the two greatest military tacticians meet face to face. Seig Kaiser Reinhard! |
 |
| yang's best phrase yet: "the tea have strange flavour when there's 40,000 of enemy ships around you" yang and reinhard meeting was badass. couldn't imagine much better psychological confront in anime, it was so damn epic. though reinhard is right about "yang's extreme ideology", that's what actually makes his character so good lol. man i had a huge smile on my face and i rewatched their conversation at least 3 times. this episode just felt like a movie lol. but the rest of the episodes just showed me that it's not the end. and my anticipation from them all is to see yang's role in the next stories. i actually can't believe i forgot, but i'm much interested to know if yang would still make that "cheap trick" on the isserlohn. finally the earth cult seems to take the bite, i wonder though if they will deliver as the series did 'till now. oh and i forgot to say. oberstein really knows best for reinhard, seems he sees much more than reinhard himself about reuenthal. |

| Yang can finally retire now lol. I hope he enjoys the rest of his life with Frederica |
 |
| Finaly the meet everyone has been waiting for happened, for me this is one of the most memorable moments in all of anime , rewatched the whole sequence since I liked it that much. I expected Reinhard to go easy on Yang and even offer him some sort of big position and as expected Yang graciously declined. Their clash of different beliefs were perfectly shown here, and Reinhard was really respectfull towards Yang during whole converstation, even was happy to hear that Yang wants to retire. No doubt that this proves why Lohengramm is such an outstanding and rare kind of leader, he literaly let Yang and all of his men go, where so many different leaders would've done different. The coronation scene and Reinhard's arrival to the capital were both glorious, beautiful and emotional, specially whole crown picking up scene where he sees Kircheis and his sister both standing there only to realise its not the outcome he wanted after all. Now hes a leader of whole galaxy and its gonna be interesting as hell to see where things will go from here and how will he handle everything. |
| one of the greatest episodes I ever seen in my life |
