The OP isn’t that much of a spoiler once you watch this episode - which is why they tacked it to the end instead of beginning with it. The big spoiler being, of course, that the 5 are still alive. Of course the OP foreshadows things that will happen later in this cour, but without context it’s like any other OP for any other series. And yes - Lena is now an absolute queen in this cour - and she has the respect of the squadron of who she now leads. They don’t say so in the anime, but this squad refers to itself as the “Queen’s Knights”.
Shin's brother transferred himself to another Legion Dinosauria body and carried the group to the Federacy's border. His brother was destroyed by the Federacy but not before saying goodbye.
And it took me until today to realise that Shin probably only realised what happened himself when Ernst gave him Rei's nameplate, since he had left it behind when he put down Rei's first Legion body.
I read somewhere that she named the cat “Thermopylae” (Teppy for short) in honor of Spearhead fighting an impossible fight and all dying for their cause. She was gonna go w Leonidas but felt that it would only honor Shin and not the entire group.
@@kallistikaleid It also gave a great significance as spears are the main weapons of the spartans along their swords, and as the spearhead squadron, Shin's last unit symbolizes those spears being shove towards the brunt of the enemies (Persians = Legion) until they "break".
Ernst and Karstahl are two sides of the same coin, Ernst embodies the will of the nation while Karstahl embodies the will of the people, for better or worse.
If you watch the 3 videos a guy did about all of the symbolism in 86, he points out that she likely dyed her hair and changed her uniform because she then carries the 5 colours of the San Magnolia flag. If no one else is gonna actually rep those ideals, she wants to try. Made hella sense to me, a little more than the other theory.
Lena no longer has any F's to give. The Republic made sure of that. All that is left now is to fight her hardest until the end finally comes. Also, Ernst is one of the most lowkey badasses in the entire series.
Bloody Regina is Lena's call sign. A call sign is a moniker you earn after more than a year of service in the frontlines. Receiving a call sign means you are a veteran of the battlefield and is accepted by Alba and 86 fighters alike.
Lena named the cat after Thermopylae, as in Battle of Thermopylae, like in the movie 300. It's shortened to be cute, but it's an appropriate name considering the context of the show and how the spearhead 5 went down. (At least at that moment in the show)
I'm not sure, but given the abundance of dents and gouges in the armor we didn't see when they left Shin's brother, I'm guessing that they didn't actually put him down, and he came to save his brother. That he really carried Shin and the squad while under heavy fire from presumably the Legion.
I really, REALLY wish the anime cleared up what that dream sequence with Rei meant. So many reacters were like "How tf they get here?!?" Big bro feeling lots of guilt and love, right?
Originally, last episode was the end of the written 86. She wrote it for a competition, and it ended in their deaths on the battlefield. Then, the love for her story EXPLODED, so she decided that the 86 deserved more.
can't believe i got blocked by her, i mean i deserve for spoiling one thing, the first time i comment to her story, i deserve it but i was just shocked by what happened, i do apologize for spoling stuff
the RELIEF to know that they’re okay🥲
The amount of tears you shed for this show 😂
😂😂😂 love yaa
watch the OP Alana there isn't spoiler
I rewatched this episode and realised the knight armour that Shin’s brother wears is because of their favourite childhood book called the skull knight

im glad im not the only one who thought that this was the case ;_;
@@exorr81 unfortunately it was not explained in the anime leading to a lot of confusion.
Thank you. I was super confused by this.
1st time i hear of this... and i think it would have been nice to see like in half of episode 1 how it plays out

Yeeeaaaahh, I LOVE that ended up veing her reasoning. Plus, I adore the story ot the 300 Spartans. Gids, 300 is still one of my favorite movies.

Ernst is a really nice guy, but he's so nice that he has a bit of a crazy side to him.
And we love that crazy side.
He is just a man full of noble ideology
Ernst and Karstahl are two sides of the same coin, Ernst embodies the will of the nation while Karstahl embodies the will of the people, for better or worse.
Someone mentioned that Light Novel, Lena dyed her uniform black to honor her squad and is called "Bloody Regina".
If you watch the 3 videos a guy did about all of the symbolism in 86, he points out that she likely dyed her hair and changed her uniform because she then carries the 5 colours of the San Magnolia flag.

To live in that moment where you see the opaque windows go clear
I’d stay there forever

All hail the Queen of the 86. Also, the cat is named Thermopylae, Teppy is short.
Long may her bloody reign last.
I love this episode, the voice actor for the lil empress cracks me up
Who voice acting the empress??..the voice just feel same

I remember first time watching Lena's character growth and turn around was amazing. She went from this naive littel girl to a harden veteran.

Frederica has arrived, great lil sister
love that the younger generation are following Lena
lol in the LN nobody on base is supporting her. LNs made it clear 99.99% of San Magnolians are scum, young or old. Anime is trying to soften it.
I really, REALLY wish the anime cleared up what that dream sequence with Rei meant. So many reacters were like "How tf they get here?!?"
Big bro feeling lots of guilt and love, right?
The opening is so fire though X_X
It's impossible no matter how many times I watch it, it always destroys me.....and the second season is full of emotions....
The episode really hits you out of the blue with emotional gut punches.
In case you didn't know, Regina is Latin for queen. Bloody Regina = Bloody Queen.
Alana after episode 11 be like: I don't need sleep, I need answers
Lol
That OP is absolute gold.... dont skip it. It hits right in those feelings 100%...
I love Ernst he's actually one of my favourite characters in the show.
Bloody Lena is here
awww she missed out on one of the better OP songs, and animation is pretty awesome too. I had it on constant replay for awhile.
The first thing I thought with that little one is she's the reincarnation of Palm top tiger..
Aw yeah, it's time for President Dad
I love your video keep up the good work❤☺️
Yoooo! Early gang!
Waiting for your SPYxFAMILY trailer reaction

@@kallistikaleid The original ending was ambiguous, it stopped after the Spearhead 5 bid farewell to Lena and vanished into the wilderness.
Lena is such a waifu! Day 21 requesting to watch anohana 😊😊😊😊
