I am disappoint.
You follow the manga faithfully for 4 movies and decide to deviate now? Really? And the changes didn't even make any sense, Rygart just acted in a totally braindead manner (even more than usual). It was going so well... this is just sad, sad, sad.

One less anime to look forward to I guess.

Girghe died but he did us the favor of getting ridden of that sicko bitch Nike before he died.
Kind of a useless loss there though because with his abilities he could have made a lot more damage to the enemy than losing like that.
Thankfully Narvi made it but not her brother. Damn now she lost her father figure and her brother. Poor girl, fucking war made a mess of her life.

For who was Rygart fighting was obvious but the same can be said for the king. If it wasn't about her dieing he would have accepted the terms of surrender.

...and why Rygart? why? your comrades saves you and you ran off and fight with Girghe? The fuck man!


I was thinking the same. ¬.¬

I think Girghe's dead was really good, I read some about him on wiki and now I like him the more, and he killed that loli bitch! yeah!

One thing I've got to say is that I really miss Zess, he is a really important character, the friend who became the enemy, where is him now?

And Girghe's kinda like a non-smoking Badou with both eyes intact.

I couldn't have said it better :x
Anyway that's probably the best part yet. Epic soundtrack, epic mecha-fights and dramatic moments(ffs). Still what I didn't like was how Girge went on a 1v1 with Rygart when both of them could've helped their comrades... and judging by their power levels they could've beat all of the shitty Athens.
I'm glad Nike died(I thought that she was dead by the end of the 4th movie to be honest -.-), but Narvi's brother died too... too bad.
It was almost obvious that Rygart will act so stupidly going after his brother, but I didn't really expect that he'll find him dead.
Just as I thought Narvi doesn't know that General True is dead... can't judge how the battle tides will turn when I don't know if she'll gets informed the war's end and how will she act if someone tells her gets to know the truth.
Girge... I didn't expect that he'll sacrifice his life for Rygart. He just became my favorite anti-character and he falls dead. I still can't explain to myself why he acted like this... did he calculated that his artemis stands no chance of getting out alive, or he just acted on a whim... maybe we'll never know.
Rygart... I still don' know why you got into the fight with Girge... but I guess you're just the impulsive character so it can't be helped. People say that when someone sacrifices his life for someone, that someone inherits his will. Girge maybe really did it for this reason... I don't know, but I hope you really won't let his sacrifice go waste.

10/10.

This movie was just one collossal, bullheaded mistake. A simple detour by Borcuse initiated a series of events that got a number of talented pilots and valuable golems killed and destroyed. If this country had a real military they'd eventually shoot Rygart. That's how bad his mistake was in the end.

I did get to enjoy a fantastic series of duels, but all of this was pretty much a waste as far as anyone's progress goes in the story. I suppose that will be the eventual point of these movies.

Awesome action this time. Almost the whole time too.

I don't really see how they can tie everything up in the next movie though.

Also, I think the animation was better in this movie compared to the previous ones.

I agree wit the sentiment, it's good that Nike died, she was just hopeless. Just think of the difference between here and Cleo, who is actually enjoying her life with Sigyn, where she can do and don't do what she wants as long as she doesn't try to murder Rygart, instead of having some false progaganda shoved down her head, leading to twelve year olds fighting in a war. Even by anime standards thats pretty low..

Also, Hodr should have done the reasonable thing when they first got word of the attack: Withdraw everyone back to the capital. Once everyone is back at the capital, and not a moment earlier, send Girghe out there.

The problem would not have been how to survive or actually win the war, it would have been figuring out how to get Girghe going out there. Maybe mentioning Borcuse to him would have been enough though, they both seemed quite happy during the fight in the 4th movie..

Dude wtf, they destroyed Girge entire background,storyline,character in the anime .

The manga was way better in that section like x10 . Seriously, to those that watch this movie and said Girge is awesome to the end. If you guys read the manga, you guys will be shocked on how degraded is he , in the anime.

It took a psycho to bring down a fellow psycho. However, one psycho, the team's best pilot died in the process doing so, along with saving the impulsive pilot of the team's best machine. He might be insane, but he went off doing a good thing. So long, Girge. You put on one heck of a show.

If this was real life, Rygart would have been court-martialled for desertion that ultimately led to the deaths of 2 of his 5-person squad's members (including the best pilot), the destruction of one captured and rebuilt unit (the red Artemis) and damage to his irreplaceable machine. He singlehandedly endangered the country's war effort with just one mistake.

Rygart also now kind of reminds me of Lancelot, with the way his queen has fallen for him. Hell this series feels a bit like King Arthur's story with knights and mecha instead of knights and horses. Although Hodr is much less impressive in the king's role. The story's excalibur equivalent (the Broken Blade/Delphine) is not with him, but his friend.

Where is Zess's place now in this mess? Anyway, let's see how this ends in the (regrettably) final movie.

Oh man Girge is so badass. He definitely should have been the main character.
He brutally killed Nike and I loved it tbh.
Even his glasses shattered epically.

Also liked that scene where Nirve points the gun at Ryugart's crotch.
See instead of pointing guns to people's faces you should point them toward their crotch.

This is definitely my favorite entry so far, Girge is hands down the most interesting character in the Break Blade. Two extremely awesome duels with Barcuse and Girge, it really reminds me of Escaflowne. I had to cheer when Girge finished off Nike. I didn't necessarily hate her but that was just total ownage. A bummer he chose to die, but it looks like Rygart got through to him via the duel and he was able to die without regrets.

I wonder how they plan to wrap this up in the next movie, hoping it's not just a cliffhanger. 8/10 for this one.

Man...Rygart annoyed me so much in this movie. I was so happy when Narvi jammed her gun onto his balls... I would be much more satisfied if she shot them off tho.

This movie felt draggy until the last 10 mins imo.

Another thing I found strange was that the army was being attacked by the Athens yet Girge and Rygart were fighting each other. Like srsly guys...And boy was Rygart was pretty naughty and turned on by Girge's offer- imagining naked Sigyn during a life-or-death battle lol

And I totally get Girge's role in this story; that is to play the bad guy so that Rygart the 'hero' would progress. Shame, Girge died, but at least he killed that annoying Nike effortlessly and protected Rygart. Hmm..but I really want to know what went down in the incident that led to Girge's imprisonment. Pretty sure what actually happened is totally different.

I'm rating this movie 1 point lower than the others coz I got seriously annoyed that Rygart and Girge went off to fight each other when their teammates needed help. :(

So in the end, Girge didn't fullfil Rygart's promise of becoming general and succeeding his father.. What a shame! Started to liked Girge's character.

So, in short:

>Rygart runs off in his already-battered and ill-supplied (but priceless) golem, thus endangering the war effort.
>Rygart then decides it's a good idea to duel the best golem pilot on the enemy side in said battered golem.
>Narvi decides to endanger her entire team by firing at the enemy, rather than simply signaling Rygart.
>They then decide to all hop out of their mechs to have a nice little chat rather than getting the crap out of there immediately.
>Rygart decides that fighting Girghe is a better idea than backing up his comrades or running away.
>Girghe sacrifices himself to save Rygart for no apparent reason, prematurely ending all developments surrounding him (Girghe).

This was by far the worst of the bunch. It's like everyone on the Krisna side of the war lost all of their logic in this movie.

Anyway, it's okay.

it's pretty frustrating me that Rygard and Girghe fighting each other while the other squads struggling to death fighting athens.

Instead of helping your comrades, Rygart spend time debating with Girghe and then turn into a fight.
Although I'm telling myself that he ain't no soldier but a country bumpkin farmer but his naivety and temperament really sucks.
The sole enjoyment I derive is from Girghe's badass massacring those guys.
The things he could achieve if he could control Rygart's ancient golem.

What's with this crazy amount of Sigyn fanservice? Might as well just slap ecchi since almost everytime she shows up, fanservice follows.

Anyway, wasn't as good as the previous episode. Rygart is starting to get annoying.

This is worse than the other 5 movies and good grief, both rygart and girge were acting retarded, fighting each other instead of helping their comrades.
And girge's death made me extremely pissed and I've never been so salty about a character's death in a long while. Killing the best character too early was a bad idea.

Holy fuck this movie was awesome.
A lot more people died than I wanted to, especially the Girghe and Nair. I was also hoping that Narvi would be the one to end Nike's life. So all in all, a lot of deaths in all the wrong places.

Yeah, same here, Girghe reedemed himself quite a bit, the ending was EPIC, very well animated without a doubt.

Only though that it was silly that Rygart engaged him in the end, instead of putting that rage to good use and go help the others...

Anyway this movie does deserve a 9 (8.6/10 = 9).
Keeping my expectations low for the next one since I heard it wasnt as good as the last ones.

My least favorite of the 5 so far.

Sociopath general slaughtering an entire village of innocents. Nonsensical queen on POW love interest. An entirely different criminal spouting off about queen on Ry love interest during some bizarre, unnecessary fight. I don't understand this prisoner at all, and why he does the things he does. Crusher mecha enemy girl is yet ANOTHER brainwashed nutjob chick. I'm sure Ry's sanctimonious act wore on me at some point, too.

Bleh. All of it.
