he had to have known what would happen if he took the ring, so i kinda wonder why he did. if he was just trying to buy time he would have been better off boarding a starfish and blocking the hallway :/

Lucciola fight with the classical music was uh...special as in bad. Taking the ring was also a bad idea. Oy.

Does anyone know why lucciola doesn't try to kill dolphine?? If he wasn't going to kill her in the first place why does he even bother going to her?


I think because he wanted to die. He betrayed his friend. He wasn't seeking revenge on Delphine but on his brother Cicada. After that he was done.

Exactly, I've been 'rooting for him' ever since the amazing first scene he was in. I think his character was done wonderfully considering of the the amount of screentime he got.

I guess Lucciola knew he din have a chance defeating Delphine
so he accepted her "reward"? Sigh...
and maybe her reward was a painless death eh

Also I'm still hoping Moran is alive!

This is just me, but I believe Lucciola could of been granted life, he answer Delphine correctly or the response she liked to hear.

Damn did Mullin really die? Even though he was an useless side character I still feel rather sorry for the girl! Still the episode was quite nice I did like the flashback about Dio's past and well we did see some nice development in this episode so let's see what's next!

I thought the music was befitting for the sublime battle that was taking place. It manifested Lucciola's character.

I don't get how people are mistaking her for a guy. Mullin was clearly straight, and he was planning on getting together with Dunya after the battle. It is too bad that dream was subsequently shattered.

On a side note, has anyone noticed that Dunya has a close resemblance with Arya Stark? They both have similar eye colors, hair lengths, face shapes, mouths, and eyebrows.

Mullin had an epic introduction in episode 1, it really got me hooked but sadly he then got reduced to side, comedy relief character =(

Personally I am disappointed to what they did with his character.


Luciola still should have at least attempted to attach Delphine in order to buy more time. And just what on earth was happening in that fight scene? It looked like they were dancing.

An episode full of sacrifices, don't think there had been many deaths so far. So two in one episode made me rather sad.

Mullin...no!! He'd been throwing death flags around like crazy, but I thought he would make it to the end.

I never warmed to Lucciola as a character, but he really got a chance to shine in this episode. I like how he went out with dignity.

Luciola got his moment of coolness, but I wish he had put up more of a fight against Delphine. Or at least called her out on her shit or something. Though I don't think you can even call Delphine out on anything, given how little we know about her, besides the fact that she's a sadist cult leader who likes cute things a bit too much. Her hedonism will probably be her downfall. Still though, I'm not really impressed with her just yet.

The fighting scene with Lucciola and Cicada was painful to watch it felt really out of place.

Also there was really no reason for Lucciola to die like that there, the whole reason that fight took place was because Lucciola wanted to stop anyone getting in the way of Dio. Even if he still would have some sort of loyalty left towards Delphine she is the reason Dio is in that state in the first place. Its not like Lucciola would have been able to kill her without any effort either since she probably has combative powers because most likely she also took part in the "Rite of the Covenant" at one point. But Lucciola dying the way he did was just lame.

lol that fighting scene though... I appreciate the attempt at a fluid fight scene that made it look like a dance, but it was executed so poorly.

Um, guess RIP Mullin, that was sad :'( hope he miraculously survives?

As the fleet commence the operation to retake the Units, Lucciola helps Claus get Alvis and Dio to a Vanship, before seeking out Delphine and Cicada.

A noble sacrifice to protect a friend, such a sad way to go. It was a unique type of fight between Lucciola and Cicada, almost dance like. Not sure if it was good, tbh.

Mullin's dead? Please, no, anything but that. Can Claus make it back to the Silvana...

"Rook Dio", "Castling Lucciola", sad episode names. Shouldn't Lucciola be the "rook" in this chess analogy, though?

The battle with Cicada was the weirdest anime fight I've ever seen

Mullin died *that* death? Arterial bleeding from a leg wound? Nice reference, Last Exile creators ;_; The Claudia unit operation was so weird though...imagine havine engines with these dudes living inside lol. Do they even get out? What do they eat?

P.S. Almost 100% sure Disith was "inspired" by Ukrainians or something, Dunya and Nestor are not names you just casually see in anime lol. Late to point this out I guess.

I can't be the only one who thought this episode was awkward right? Both the gunfight between the Alliance and the guild, and the fight between Lucciola and Cicada felt just so weird and awkward to me.

This Delphine chick is such a b!tch! ffuk her! I hate this cvnt so such, poor Lucciola/Dio :(

Sh!t little Lucciola going hungry made me really sad :( 

Having such much hunger that it hurts and doesn't even allows you to sleep is a horrible thing to go through during your childhood.

I know what what I'm talking about. You have such hunger that you fill up your belly on water on the hopes that the hunger pains go away, they don't, you feel like your going mad, and in a way you do go mad.

Sh!t little Dio was such a cute/caring/innocent little boy. A true friend to Lucciola! And that scene of little Dio giving a full plate of food to little Lucciola and telling him that he was his friend made me tear up a bit. 

Both Dio & Lucciola were so innocent/loving/caring little boys and this cvnt Delphine had to come along and .... Men ffuk Delphine! FFUK her to oblivion and back!

The helplessness of the people in this anime is a little odd. The battles are also not very well animated so it's hard to tell what's actually happening. Very sad about Mullen.. he was da man. It isn't even clear what they were doing, trying to take over another ship? Luciola finally steps up- but then rather than taking a shot at Delphine he just commits seppuku and that's it. Alex looks like he's finished, and since everyone else in this anime just begs for it to stop and act helpless, I dunno how it's supposed to end. Probably disappointing.

Noooo Not Mullen!!! GDI he was collecting death flags by the bucketful but I still didn't expect them to actually kill him. He's not dead, right? Right???!??

And then Luciola may as well just have committed suicide after taking out Cicada, damn I hate her.

By far the best episode so far, but wow, the show got dark real fast!

Mullen & Luciola were such prominent characters, and they were both killed off like it was nothing. Reminds me a lot of HBO's "The Wire" in a weird way
