| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Reinhard's talk with Hilda about one man organizations leading to stagnation was surprising. If he truly believes that it shows a possible shift in his thoughts of how leadership should be handled. The balance between the top 3 under Reinhard led to some interesting conversation. Oberstein is at a numbers disadvantage though with Mittermeyer and Reuental's opinions on the matter being the same. After being provoked by Reuental I was suprised that Oberstein got up and took a very short leave. Considering that the Kaiser was on his way, it would have been inappropriate for him to be absent. It makes me think that behind his cold facade he was getting flustered and needed a minute to recompose himself. Now that Reuintal's reasons for following Reinhard are known, it will be easier to gauge whether he'll remain loyal or not. His thinking wasn't entirely incorrect. Reinhard has built his empire on aggressive moves to consolidate his power. Being passive isn't something Reinhard is used to and it shows in his unsteady behavior. He seems to have revived his vigor though with renewed plans to subjugate the alliance so that should put Reuental's mind at ease for now. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| If there was one episode to express Reinhard's dissatisfaction of his recent ways and the struggle between his ideals, it's this. He wanted to rule in a way that did not reflect that of the Goldenbaum Dynasty, and yet it was his agressiveness and passion that landed him where he stands now. The introduction of new rising talents (two of Lennenkanpt's previous subordinates) felt needed as Mecklinger admitted that men like them would be much needed in the future. I also agree that the discussion that went on between Reuenthal, Wolfgang, and Oberstein was most interesting, especially when Reuenthal took a guess on what Oberstein would do involving Yang. At the end of the discusison, I was surprised to see Reuenthal sort of pray that Reinhard will stick to being his old self, that self that caused men like hiim to want to follow as this sort of beacon. |

I've noticed he does that sometimes, especially when something interesting happens...I may be paranoid but his eyes have been bothering me for some time |
| "...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') |
| The beginning discussion between Reuental, Mittermeyer, Reinhard and Oberstein was very interesting. Reinhards decision was only a matter of time, I just can't picture him rotting away in a palace. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| nothing too special happened...but it was a good episode :) 4/5 |

| OH HEY BITTENFIELD ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING GOOD. |
| BITTEN GOES IN EVERY FELD |
 |
| This is one of the most well-written episodes in the series. The characterization of each admiral in Reinhard's staff and the interactions between those admirals are so rich in detail. Part of the brilliance of LOGH is the way its supporting characters are treated like main characters that just don't happen to get as much screentime -- even Bittenfeld seemed to be less one-dimensional in this episode, and this exchange was the crowning moment of the episode: Bittenfeld said: But still, Your Majesty, until your resident castle is built, your seat of honor remains unsettled, doesn't it?  Reinhard said: I have no need for a resident castle. Where I am is the Imperial Castle of the Galactic Reich. |
| So freaking happy that Reinhard is taking history by the throat again. His Admirals all seem to be a cohesive unit again, thinking in unison. It was interesting to see the discussion between Oberstein, Mittermeyer, and Reuental. Clearly, Oberstein got a bit frustrated, which was neat to see, as usually he's very cool, composed, and nonchalant. Reutenal's thinking was correct; everyone follows Reinhard because of the unfailing aggressiveness and charisma he possesses. It's great to see him back in his territory, so to speak. |
| Know an AMAZINGGG anime with a strong male lead?!?!11one//?! TELLMEEEE. NoSrsly, bby. I'll love you forever. But no romance. I mean, romance is fine between you and I, but I don't want to watch that crap, okay? Okay. |
| Magnificent episode. Reinhard's struggle with trying not to become another Rudolph and staying true to his nature is....incredibly interesting. As others have said, the three way conversation between Reuental, Mittermeyer, and Oberstein was intriguing as well. On a side note, I wonder how anyone could complain about the art and animation in this season? It looks fantastic to me. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Thought that Reinhard would get pissed at that comment, but instead he realized how he was letting his own fear of repeating history bog him down and accepted it, wise. |
 |
| I knew I'd been sensing that Reinhard was feeling stagnant! But he got back in business fast, so all is good. Previously I've been completely on Yang Wenli's side, but in S3, Reinhard is starting to look pretty interesting too. |
 |
| "I have no need for a resident castle. Where I am is the Imperial Castle of the Galactic Reich." God damn that sudden change in direction when Bittenfield made his speech was a little jarring, but boy was I waiting for Reinhard to inspire once more. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| The Golden Lion is awake!!! We all heard the mighty roar of charismatic Reinhard. Now it's time for war!!! |

 |
| Yes! I want to see Reindhart crush his enemies! I can't wait to see how this battle will be. |
 |
| Bittenfeld is one of my favourites. I love this guy. |
 |
| A bit slower but still very lovely, especially that ending! |
 |
| Reinhard was pretty awesome towards the end there! |
 |
| such excitement, such shivering, such goosebumps |
| Yays, Reinhardo is in high spirits again :) |
 |
| Reinhard finally got his groove back! Now with that, Yang and co. can finally make their move. |
 |
| Finally Reinhard get up and he start to move!!! later? |
| The scene where Oberstein organizing the funeral for Lennenkempf might appear to be nothing special but it seems that Oberstein felt somewhat sorry for Lennenkempf because of his death, probably because of his being unable to obtain the "fleet admiral" title as Oberstein promised back in a few episode earlier. Moreover, it could be that Oberstein never thought Lennenkempf would die in such pathetic manner, which is again not of his intention. On a side note, the friction among the top 3 admirals under Reinhard's reign is just getting better and better. Each side provided their own valid point to counter the opposite, only find it came to a dead end with no clear solution, and so the struggle continues. Reinhard's meeting with his subordinate is also a highlight of this episode, showing his resolve and decision in a very natural way which perfectly fits his character. |
| ^Great catch! I didn't notice Oberstein's expression in that scene. Definitely a great episode, the conversation among the 3, Reinhard and Mariendorf, the conversation among all the other admirals, it was all incredibly interesting. It was nice seeing everyone's view of Reinhard as well. |
| The pace is so slow I can't take it anymore, these conversations between the admiral are so lengthy, I can't wait to see the next battle. |
cool to see hilda writing about the current situation |
| Why, you say... Don't you get it? If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. |
| Only time will tell whether that ink splat next to Yang's name was foreshadowing or not. |
 |
| I'm full on team Yang at this point. The empire has interesting characters like JohnWoo said, but they're warmongers who get turned on by their leader confronting enemies. |
| Hype episode is hype. Thank you Bittenfield for reviving the Kaiser's spirit. The council really needed that, especially Reuental. |
| Welp, looks like they're going to war Poor Alliance they don't even know what will hit them :( Well they definitely got what they deserved, especially the politicians |
"Signature removed"   |
| Reinhardooo is back! That was an intriguing episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| this episode shows what LOGTH have it's strength: - myrtemyer, reuntal and oberstaing conversations was true "battle of wist" - the change in mind of reinhard. i understand why at the start of the episode he wanted to keep peaceful, he thought a lot of how kircheis would handle this. but at the end vigor made him back to his usual self. true masterpiece twist. marindro making that list of "possible enemies". from some reason i have a feeling those who she marked will be the one to make a cameo. |
| Whoop whoop time for more war :D |
 |
| Really great episode for Reinhard and other highest ranking admirals. The whole constant debating when Reinhard isn't around just adds that rare greatness to individual side characters developments, Oberstein is not getting support but still hes managing to hold his stand. Maybe Reuntal is truly accepting the fact that any kind of betray on Kaiser would just be pointless since none can replace a man like that and even he isn't capable of such leadership abilities. |
