Very few shows have made me cry even on one occasion. LoGH has made me cry on two. ;_; Yea Looking back it doesn't seem that sad but I genuinely felt for Reinhard when it was happening Then again when I watch the gaiden series it will probably get much more sorrowful |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| I admit I was not a fan of Yang's fleet, i wanted them to be gone because they ruin the show seriousness. But Yang was a very interesting character, I liked him since the beginning. Now i was annoyed at him in some parts, but some of his lines are fantastic. The final 10 seconds in this episode gave a strong impact on me, very touching death for humble Yang. And now i can't help but consider him one of my favorite characters. Annoying death for such great important character but at the same time it was unexpected to be like that and it was humble and delivered the feels. RIP Yang (T.T) Excellent Episode. |
| I just watched this episode, i cannot fucking believe it wat |

| I knew some shit would come down, but why this ... nothing makes sense... |

;_; he even memed before his death  |
 |
| Well, everything betrayed my expectation...Lots of events happened in this episode. Firstly, Oberstein seems to be still doing all the hard job despite being hated by everyone. I somewhat feel really bad for the guy, however the second half of this episode overshadow everything else, perhaps even the last few intense episode as well While he's still being so carefree, i thought he's gona make it out alive after several narrow escape happened before, but what happened afterwards is really odd, so unexpected, unpleasantly. It seems although Yang has always been calm, deep down inside he feel guilty toward all the life he's taken, even if it's for the sake of his people, for his own course which he believes to be the righteous one. How sad it is, everything happened too swift, dang the author, i thought if he's going to die, at least he should have a deathmatch with Reinhard like they always had before, the final showdown of the 2 most powerful being in the galaxy.... But well, life's suck, must be what the author want to imply here. He can elegantly control thousands of ships, overcome hundred of obstacle, come up with weird yet effective plans, surpass even the most powerful man in the galaxy, yet adversary will always be there to remind us that no matter how calculative, smart, cunning you are, you can not escape fate. RIP Yang, back in the first few episode, when he was approached by a kid who said he want to become a soldier like Yang, Yang said that he wouldn't have to because the galaxy would be at peace by then. Let's hope Yang's word will come true through his legacy. |

MioSakomoto said: Although there is no much sense of killing Yang Wenli, there was the actor who give Yang voice was ill at the time, Kei Tomiyama died in september 25.1995, he had a cancer, my guess is that he probably couldn't do his job (act-voice) due the illness, the magican doesn't come back was aired at february 1. Of course they could probably find someone else to voice Wenli, but everyone know that wouldnt be the same. I think that Kei's ilness was reason why they want to cut of his character off the series. In the end both of them died. RIP Wenli, RIP Tomiyama, Actually it was a coincidence, because Yang was also killed by the Terraists in the original novels published in 1987. But still tragic nonetheless. |

| It hurts so much Wenli :'( i'll always remember you |
| It's been a while since a show made me visually mad, and I still got 28 eps to go. I had to process what happened for like 2 minutes and than I was like "that just happened?". I want to see if he will be avenged and what will happen to everyone else as a result. RIP |
| I can't believe that Yang just freaking died, right here, not in a final fight against Reinhard, no, just in a meaningless fight, shot by a random enemy, I can't believe what just happened. Rest in piece magician. |
 |
| I am like so fucking triggered right now. |

| Wow I did not see that coming. Considering how Yangs Fanboys never lost anything (besides that one minor character just now) I always feared for Reinhards life. But this is surprising, I was wondering what the Terraism thing was all about because it added nothing to the story but all of this probably lead up to this. Im curious how Reinhard will react. Again stolen the chance for victory and now his opponent forever. And still so many eps left. Wow. The most amazing thing is still how this was not spoiled somewhere. Most older animes get spoiled everywhere but people are cautious with LoGH. I still managed to read the comments before the episode to spoil myself. Dumb me. But Im not really bothered by his death. I dod not enjoy the story with him anyway. Its just surprising he went so "soon" and all the other rebels are still alive. |

I thought Yang's death is one of the most spoiler-prone in LoGH discussions and one of the top search suggestions for Yang Wenli is "Yang Wenli death" on Google. Though I'm glad that you were able to avoid it up to this episode. I wasn't. It also didn't help that the narrator hinted it. |

I fear a bit they will change that in the new series :/ |

| Even though I knew he was going to die and even the episode when it happens... How or why...were a secret still...and it hit me hard with how subtle it was. RIP Kircheis. RIP Yang. RIP future characters I have guesses for... |
| i am a little confused, but Yang Wenli died!!! O_o I suppose that he was one of the principal characters of this anime, and also this is the episode 82 to 110 in total, remaining 28 to end, and the best character died!!! :/ This two last minutes of the episode were the most dramatic of all the anime series!!! :/ I am very sad ; _ ; my favorite character next to Kircheis is died :( |
| I knew it was coming but damn did it hurt. RIP Miracle Yang, you will be missed. |
| Well we all knew it was coming (damn you narrator). I'm surprised as well I wasn't spoiled on MAL's forum prior to watching this show, about either Kircheis' nor Yang's deaths, when I've been spoiled repeatedly over other character deaths. But I suppose it's also because LotGH only has 27k completed (as of right now), in comparison to the other shows I'm thinking about. Thank goodness. Anyways, I wanted to say, I'm in the small camp of people who liked Yang, but was not devastated by his death either, than say I would be, if it had been Reinhard. Yang's a very interesting character to me personally, not because of his awesome quotes and how broadminded he is, but because he also has a few traits that made me dislike him, especially after the FPA officially surrendered. I also came to be a bit bitter with his constant winnings and his group, but I've come to realized that's not entirely his fault but the writer and those people who follow him. I have really conflicted feelings towards Yang, but I still respect him. I just wish I was more genuinely saddened by his death (like actually crying as I usually would when I am sad about a character death or event in a narrative). I guess I'm not that emotionally connected to him because I've been fully rooting for Reinhard since the halfway point, and while I've never wanted Yang to die, he was the biggest hindrance to Reinhard. Reading through this thread though and spending a bit more time thinking about Yang's death, I really liked the way it was handled. And it reflects my conflicted feelings about Yang almost perfectly. It's hard to describe what I mean, but for one, Yang's death was lonely and bloody, surely a "punishment" for the blood he's shed, he believes he deserves it, because he knows that all the blood that was shed was for his belief in democracy (and not necessarily peace). It was a fitting, yet a sad death...but also not really? He died under the effects of the sleeping pill, he was able to pass on in a calm manner. He also seemed to die without regrets, that he didn't bring Frederica or Julian with him was a good thing. Also given Yang's personality, he would definitely prefer to go out quietly in the hands of a nobody, than dramatically. Basically, there's a lot more to Yang's death behind its anti-climatic execution. Rather than depressing, it was almost beautiful? I wanted to leave a better comment regarding Yang's death, but I'm terrible with words and gathering my thoughts in a coherent manner... -------- Other than the shocking event in this episode, I would've liked to see people's reactions about it actually being Reinhard who asked for the truce, and especially his reason for it. I mean it would've been hard to imagine Reinhard coming up with it himself, and even harder to believe if someone had convinced him to do so. Still, Kircheis is still important as ever, even ~50 episodes after his death....truly amazing. Reinhard looked at peace though, as he sat in his bed, almost recovered. I can't say he'll be in peace for long though, after hearing this news. |
| The narrator needs to die a slow and painful death. Or at least the people that like giving us these not so vague spoilers! Really ruining my enjoyment of the show. |
| Damn it screw that soldier. R I P YANG WENLI REST IN PEACE T_T |
| FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK FUCK THE NARRATOR FUCK THE 81 PREVIEW FUCK THAT NOBODY SOLDIER AND FUCK THIS ;_; can't believe they made him go like this RIP Yang Wen-li the greatest leader of all time |

| The narrator already spoiled Yang's death, but it was still shocking and sad! This shows how brilliant the writing is, the writer doesn't need to make the death surprising or heroic, it's still very effective and meaningful for the plot, also it was timed perfectly and had proper build up. My only complaint is with how the assassins were acting, the guy that shot Yang ran off like a retard and even threw his gun away without finishing Yang off! And then the guys Julian chopped to death were unarmed! Also Julian didn't even bother to check Yang's pulse, he only saw some blood and went berserk! Other than that it was a great episode, btw I hate to admit it, but the assassination plan was pretty clever! |

| AREEEE YOUUU KIDDDING ME?!!! please stop the bad joke before it's too late goddamn author |
 |
| Please tell me that this is a dream. Nooooooooo Yang 😢😢😢😢😢 |
| YES! VICTORY! a good day for the Empire (and the terraists i guess) to have the annoying Yang written off with a shot to the leg. Score 1 for the imperial boys |
 |
| What the fuck 28 episode left and Yang is dead How can they beat Reinhard now? everyone besides Yang is incompetent. Don't tell me Reinhard will get fever (again) and die this time and the war is back to square 1 lmao |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| how can i move on with my life after this episode?!?!? im dead i want him back... |
| Man, I... I... just... oh fu- Can I like... gee... Yang, oh sh- YAAAAAANG |
| Yang stayed the best character till the very end, and needless to say things aren't looking great for the future of democracy. |
| This is the best possible ending to Yangs character arc, by making his death pointless it perfectly captures why terrorism and war is pointless and it forces the viewer to face that fact otherwise it would've been just another concept of the show. |

| I watched Episode 83 while thinking about Yang's death... |
 |
| I watched episode 81's preview AFTER this episode. Thank God I did and thank God I followed you guys suggestion about skipping previews. I had a glimmer of hope until the narrator said "Yang Wenli's time stopped at age 33..." This can't be happening... it is one of the best death scenes I have ever seen. |

| See, kids? That's why you don't take sleeping pills. Drugs KILL. |
