| Ah my man Fahrenheit ;_; RIP I can tell this isn't going to be the only big death in this war |
 |
| They said it themselves- Bittenfeld has suffered so many losses but he himself hasn't died yet. You could say his idiocy instigated Fahrenheit's death here. But then, Fahrenheit did say that it was his own fault for falling for it. These battles are still as good as ever, but Yang is sometimes just TOO good at predicting what the enemy commanders are going to do. It'd be a bit more exciting if Yang were outwitted sometimes. Never seems to happened. |

Luthimal said: The Empire deserved to lose, falling for such an obvious ambush That's because they were a bunch of idiots. Not one of them could sit and think. Reinhard should give positions to smarter people. |
| One of the better battles of the series. I'm starting to find Yang's skills a bit too magical. A big part of his genius is that he sets a trap that the enemy will see through, anticipating their response and having a second trap waiting. But for such a thing to work, he would have to know that the enemy is not going to fall for the first trap. This battle had the enemy falling for the secondary trap in the beginning but also for the first traps later in the battle when the decisions have to be made more quickly. Yang's ability to discern when the enemy can see through the first trap seems a bit too incredible. After all, it doesn't seem like he has one trap set and another one in case the first fails, but the plan all along is for the enemy to see through the first one. So if they actually did fall for the first trap, the enemy might be better off. |
| Bittenfeld and Fahrenheit definitely pulled some punches that caught the Yang Fleet off-guard -- to be honest, I thought they handled themselves somewhat well. And this was probably a Pyrrhic victory for Yang anyway, even though it was necessary. But here's some retrospective irony from episode 72: Reinhard said: If Bittenfeld exercised too much prudence, that would take away the strength of the Black Lancers. |

| This battle reminds me of the Battle of Thermopylae... |
| R.I.P Fahrenheit You were awesome. ;_; |
| i cant bear to watch this battle~ always falling to the trap of Yang Wenli... |
 |
| my second fav among the imperial admirals died :( RIP Farenheit |
 |
| quite many people die in batle field as always. "Shostakovich, Symphony no. 5, Allegro non troppo" is nice choice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YarFI7r2shY |

Shaduge said: It's only natural to lose when you have PLOT as your enemy, besides plot armor, he uses cheap tricks and gets access to environment advantage everytime he fights this is completely laughable, just like when that shenkophwhatever guy keeps killing everyone but can't be killed, just like his daughter who doesn't die, completely laughable. haha yea, totally ridiculous. I just dont get it, how come you managed to watch 70 + eps of this piece of garbage anime..its beyond me |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| Goodbye Fahrenheit :/ |
| Oh my. I really didn't expect one of the admirals to die, although I can't agree with the logic behind it (why would you place the most important person as the rear guard when retreating?) Anyways, I'm sure that this news is going to piss off Reinhard quite a bit. I wonder if this is going to be the beginning of his fall. |
 |
| Damn it why couldnt bittenfield had been the first to die, Fahrenheit was actually a pretty interesting character who i felt could had been used alot more, his death was excellent. And so we have it, the first death of likely many more major supporting characters and possibly main characters. I really dont like the idea of anyone on yang's team dying cause i legitimately like them all but i have a bad feeling its going to be dusty first. that or yang whos death flags are way too heavy at the moment. |

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 |
| NOOO. Fahrenheit was so cool. Goddamnit Bittenfield, talk about forcing his hand. The floodgates are open it would seem, I'm expecting a lot more big deaths to come in this battle. |

I'm wondering if they nicknamed him Yang the Magician just to troll people. Some of the stunts he pulls seem to come right out of his ass lol. |
 |
| I liked this episode, It had some good strategy. It was good that Farenheit actually put up a fight and that Yang actually had difficulty. |
 |
| So when it comes to Yang he can do any dishonest thing, but when it comes to Reinhard he must beat him rightfully. Now I understand Reinhard's ego, but when you deal with such an annoyance, whoever you are you WILL do what's neccesary to eliminate him. Now a few episodes ago I've said that I hoped a bloody death for Yang's side, then until this episode I was exposed to "cuteness" of Yang's side, but as seen in this episode, they don't hold back when it comes to killing good, honest people. Now sure "that is war", but killing an annoyance dishonestly to get rid of his dishonesty is "also war". If I was Reinhard I would hang Yang first time we met. And I wouldn't have any regrets. I WOULD feel sorry, but I would not regret it. Because you are judged by what you do, not what you can do. Yang had every chance to change his opinion but he kept killing people and feeling "so-colled sorry" for them. That is hypocrite and deserves death. I learned this life-lesson from... Dragon Age: Origins. There when everytime I forgave someone they would backstab me the moment I turned around and then I learned to kill them without mercy. When there's no law you simply have to react the same way you have been treated. Not an inch less. Killing a murderer. That is justice. Sometimes the saying "in war everything is fair" is really true. And you have to be prepared for it. That is why Griffith is above Reinhard in my favorites. |

| Very nice battle, RIP Farenheit :( I think he and Bittenfeld didn't communicate enough te be succesfull (or they didn't show it in the anime) |
| What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli |
| Great battle episode, really intense and I do wonder how it will turn out! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Cool battle.Rip Fahrenheit . |
 |
| Rest in peace Farenheit |
 |
| I guess I only had a vague understanding of how the corridors and space navigation worked prior to this. I thought they were just areas that were off the radar. I didn't realize that their ships could actually be destroyed by venturing out too far. This battle was especially intense and gripping, I salute Fahrenheit as he was one of my favorite admirals early on. |
 |
| It was about time an Imperial Admiral bite the dust...it was nice knowing ya Fahrenheit! Hopefully Bittenfield is the next one on the chopping block. |
 |
| This battle is so exciting. Great episode. |
| Incredible battle. This kind of battle when both sites are equal or almost equal in number and capabilities are my favorite one, since each side show the best they have and its impossible to win with a single strategy. That's what made this battle so damn exciting... 5/5 |
| Gotta love corridors in space. |
| I demand a shounen tag for this. Again alliance forces ignore logic and again nothing on their side was lost. Poor Fahrenheit, he did not deserve to die like this but his death also showed the burning passion he and others have for Reinhard as Kaiser. PS: Fascinating how alliance forces who have been there for only 1 year know more about the layout of the corridor then the side which heldt it for hundreds of years. |

Actually, if you stretch it back long enough, it was the Alliance that discovered the Iserlohn Corridor in the first place. Also, considering how the war was largely centred around the Iserlohn Corridor throughout its century-and-half duration, one would have expected the Alliance to know the layout of the corridor as well as the Empire. At least for much longer than just one year. |

Everything was focused around Iserlohn and before yang the alliance simply threw ships at it with no real plan..Comander-07 said: PS: Fascinating how alliance forces who have been there for only 1 year know more about the layout of the corridor then the side which heldt it for hundreds of years.

| One more time, a nice battle strategy!! Well, another character that died, Fahrenheit!!! |
| I really liked the music that played during the battle, so far I the tunes have been subpar imo (meaning they don't fit each scene). I would've preferred if Bittenfeld had died. He will only fall for Yang's tricks again and again. |
 |
| SHOCK-WAVE DIMENSIONS!!!!!! |
 |
| "I will give you a keepsake. It's your life. Live and meet the Kaiser. Don't die..." Fahrenhait's last words were so touching ;_; |
| Fahrenheit was one of the better admirals of the Imperial Army, character-wise too. Sad to see him gone |
| Saddest death in this whole anime. Fahrenheit's death shook me more than anyone else did. I couldn't help but shed tears at his death. And yes. Even considering the people who die in the next 10 episodes, Fahrenheit's death hits me the hardest. Fahrenheit, a golden throne is awaiting your presence in Valhalla. May you live ever after as the greatest warrior and general of our generation |
 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. |
| RIP Fahrenheit, I didn't expect him to die It's all because of Bittenfeld :( Kinda ironic how Admiral Merkatz outlive Fahrenheit |
"Signature removed"   |
| Caught myself cheering for Karin. Such a debut must be incredibly stressful. Rip Fahrenheit. His death was really well done. |

This battle was complete bullshit, I agree, but do you really believe this is a shounen series? Because it looks like you're watching LOGH for these silly space skirmishes instead of the dialogues and political intrigue. I hope you realize how dumb that sounds. RIP Fahrenheit, he was pretty uninteresting, and while he did look smarter than the retarded nobles two seasons ago (who didn't) he never seemed to be actually useful. And here he died as an idiot. You know what? Fuck him, at least Bittenfeld has some charisma. |

The "political intrigue" is not actually all that special and doesnt matter when it comes down to shounen armour deciding the outcome of wars. You're again missing the point of this series. Certain characters being outstanding tacticians is what's driving the plot, but it doesn't really matter if the tactics shown here are complete garbage (which unfortunately they are), the author's a historian who decided to write a novel chronicling the rise to power of some fictional historical figures, he didn't give a damn about tactical minutia. It's perfectly fine if you don't care for what Tanaka was trying to tell, but please, don't embarrass yourself saying this is a shounen series. |
| You are again mssing the point of what I wrote. Pls dont embarrass yourself showing your clear lack of understanding of the english language. If you would possess the ability to think you would know what a hyperbole is. If the author is bad at writing tacticts, the author shouldnt act as if he knew what he was doing. If battles which are actually the main part of this show believe it or not are decided by shounen levels of plot armour you might as well leave them out entirely, or atleast dont try to present them in a way which creates the illusion of any tactical depth. Inherently what an author is trying to write is utterly irrelevant to the resulting product. Be a shounen level fanboy somewhere else. Goodbye. |
