| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, Yuuki's back and while she starts depressed, the girl is slowly rebuilding his confidence again somewhat. I'm not really sold into her character yet but she still seems to be like her usual self. Yuuki as a baby though is super cute. Got to see some more of tragic storytelling again and this point, I'm pretty sure the show will have plenty more of those. |
 |
| This episode clearly suggested that Stella is Reina's daughter the question is wether she really is her daughter and if she is how did she end up on the enemies side. Judging from the past few episodes it seems clear that Yuuki's forces are losing a lot of ground and unless something changes they will probably lose the war. Which makes me wonder will they come up with something that saves them from defeat will make peace or will they surrender. So far tho things have been pretty interesting. |
| I'm sooooo impressed with the story-telling : In any normal shounen story, if one MC decides to make a rescue operation, thanks plot armor they would make it a success and it would make the MC looks good. Here it ends in complete failure, they couldn't save the civilians, they even lost more soldiers. Good intention is not enough. Wishful thinking is not enoug. You can just compare with other series from this season, the difference is huge !!! It's just the complete opposite. From a writing point of view, it's definitely more interesting and surprising than the normal shounen. Also interesting to learn that both sides of this war were still working together few years ago. And on a side note : indeed, there are many hints pointing at the fact that Stella is probably Leila Etoile's daughter. Let's hope they can reunite without one of them (Leila) dying. |
| The Princess is going to have to learn that not everyone can be saved, and even if they can that some sacrifices are going to have to be made. I like how they're building up the people around the Princess with these character moments, nothing groundbreaking but it makes for a more interesting story. If the anime wants me to sympathize with the other side, like I'm assuming they will based on the opening, there's going to have to be a change somewhere. Still worried they're going to pull some Stockholm syndrome stuff, but we'll see. |
| This show gets better with each episode. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Both side are doing wrong things, but I still can't see how the scumbag revolutionaries side can be any right. There is a lot of episodes yet. I hope Stella gives her mom a hug and stop all that bullcrap soon. They are trying to do some kind of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, but so far there is clearly just a Vilains and a Heroes, and that's kind of boring. |
| man I know she’s a kid but I don’t like yuuki as of now, she doesn’t clearly understand the nature of war and how you can’t save everyone. she’ll have to learn that, and I think I’d tolerate her more if she does |
| I still cannot get used to the fact that Yuki's VA has a deeper singing voice than Stella, which is why OP creates the impression that the first isn't loli, but a very short adult woman. |
 |
| This war has been completely one-sided so far. Something needs to change soon or they'll lose everything. I wonder if Stella remembers anything about her mother or where she's from. |
| It becomes interesting and intriguing, but at the same time somewhat too melodramatic. It remains only to add tragic twincest between the twins or to turn Yuki into an anti-hero killer, so that the degree of drama will exceed the maximum level. tokidoki921 said: This war has been completely one-sided so far.

In connection with this reveal, it becomes interesting to me if this doesn't mean that Stella will go over to the side of the Empire and save Yuki from her former comrades or goverment. On the other hand, now I am even more interested in how old she is. Her mother should be 30-40 old, but damn, she looks about 20 years old. |

| That flashback was heavy. Literally like a terrorist attack going off. Layla for sure is confirmed to be Stella's mom. She doesn't even know she's alive and being on the enemy side. And i'm pretty sure that Yuki and Stella meet through Layla. Question is, will Layla survive this though, i have a bad feeling about it really. Yuki was shown the painful truth, her cries were really hard to listen to. But it had to be done, Layla handled this well IMO, she threw her right into the war side of things after letting her cry about Joshua without stopping to get her to grow. |
| What now? Does Yuki have any more chess piece left? This is becoming a death festival. It keeps intriguing. |
| Wow, this anime does indeed gets better with each episode. Layla's past was really sad and boy, hearing Yuki's cries are heart wrenching saengdao said: man I know she’s a kid but I don’t like yuuki as of now, she doesn’t clearly understand the nature of war and how you can’t save everyone. she’ll have to learn that, and I think I’d tolerate her more if she does dark_reunion said: she doesnt suit as princess such a waste she should be dead and someone should lead That was the whole point of this episode, to show her the crude truth of war she didn't know until now. She'll get better after this, at least, that's what I hope. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Hoping this is where Yuki turns a corner with the realization of what comes with being the leader of a nation and the things that are required/shouldered. There were plenty of feels this episode, so im interested to see how that comes into play in the story in the future. |
| I think that it's a good thing Yuki saw all that destruction and death at the end. Now she has learnt what war is all about and hopefully she realizes the consequences of her actions. Looks like this war is going to continue for quite a while longer by the looks of it. |

| Would love to see more Leila and Stella's drama. |
にゃんぱす! |
| I feel sorry for Yukki, having to endure such a heavy burden of the whole kingdom as such a young age. Her parents left early for her to be prepared for such decisions. Her pillar of strength Joshua has left her too, it is kinda sad and I understand her naivety. At the moment I get her character and I don't hate her. The only time I would hate her is when in the end she doesn't grow as a character and still remain the same. It is still early to hate her. |

| You just want to give Yuki a hug. Such a heavy burned was dropped onto her.... poor girl. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| I'm really hoping the turn this story takes is that we have Stella fighting on the front lines, in her robot, from the perspective of a typical special forces troop, vs Yuuki who is behind main command, giving tactical directions. I don't think I've ever seen a mecha show like this where one of the main characters of the show was a tactical commander, instead of a front line troop. |
| So obviously Stella is Liela's missing daughter from 12 years ago. I thought they had to be related but I didn't think mother/daughter. I'm kinda triggered at Crunchyroll not knowing the difference between Yuki and Yuuki. They're clearly saying Yuuki and the meaning is different than if it was Yuki. Edit: clarification. Yuuki means "courage" while Yuki means "snow". Her name being "courage" is intentional and meaningful to who she is/will be in the story. So it's really bad localization to not spell her name correctly. |

| didn't expect the Stella being Leila's daughter but how many girls carry around a fish globe being a 12 year old "commanding" a army is nothing but suffering those poor men getting sent back just to die due to naivete this show really has been my dark horse of the season is getting better than i thought |
 |
| So that's what really happened to Yuki's parents, sad. And it's a brutal those soldiers and terrorists shooting each other at point blank range. Yuki only wanted to save those men. Unfortunately, she get's to learn the reality of war.. cannot be always a happy ending as the Larva unit get killed along with the people they are trying to rescue. Hard lesson, but Yuki now knows that she should not order careless rescue missions again. |
Nemesis_Ranka said: You just want to give Yuki a hug. Such a heavy burned was dropped onto her.... poor girl. Yeah, what happened at the end was a tragic rescue mission. Although, on the positive side of it.. at least Yuki would now think twice before ordering her soldiers to do something foolish again. If this rescue was succesful, I'm sure she will keep giving careless orders until a tragedy happens. |

Yeah, it's getting good. Can't wait for next week. :) |
| It's definitely the most underrated anime this season. "If you desire peace, you must prepare for war." Princess will eventually learn that. |
 |
| Ok, so according to the backstory the kingdom of Soleil and Grandiga worked together as one before , so who were those terrorist who messed things up???? I smell a conspiracy Ok so if Etolie has a daughter, how Stella end up with them Grandiga when etolie embraced her during the explosion, if she is alive then Stella would have been right besides her also alive???? So far Yuuki hasn't accepted the reality of war. |
| Why do I a feeling that Stella will kill or withess killing her mother? |

| oh well! In this war, nothing good is happening for princess Soleil... i wonder if there's no peace on this realm? 3/5. |
 |
| This show is getting more and more depressing. Ruling a country in it's war state and suddenly learning the cruelty of war is a bit too much for a kid to handle. But Yuki should really learn to get her shits together. It's going to be a little annoying to watch her unless she grows up as a character. Etoile's past events were really tragic. |

JiangHaoyi1979 said: Ok so if Etolie has a daughter, how Stella end up with them Grandiga when etolie embraced her during the explosion, if she is alive then Stella would have been right besides her also alive???? I think it's a direction's mistake. Probably one scene is missing. Indeed, Stella (if it's Stella) was in Leila's arm when the terrorist triggered the bomb's detonator, but we see Leila tried to reach out to her husband at that moment and we can suppose she let go of her kid for one second before the blocks of the roof fell. Since it was a gathering from scientists from the Soleil Kingdom and the Grandiga Empire, it's possible that one of the scientist from the empire who survived the bombing took Stella (probably injured -- > amnesia ?) and escaped. All that are suppositions until the relationship between Leila and Stella is confirmed. |
| This is a one sided war. They have already utilized all of the secret weapons as far as we know. This is turning into a beating of a dead horse. Damn Stella is most likely the daughter of Leila . That should be interesting in the upcoming episodes. I could see Stella killing Leila |

| Most underrated anime in this season |
| Erm. Looks like people missed the pioint here by saying Stella is on the enemy side. It is Leyla who now is on enemy side technically as she is originally from Grandiga. |
 |
| Who cry in this episode?? Because I did, I love Yuuki secretary backstory, it was so emotional what she been through losing her husband and daughter, and going through something like that. I love taking care of Yukki was second start of living again, ( yes joshua/ yuuki our so cute) I love how this show moving along, and tends to get your heart strings. |

Saori is a good singer, she will not be difficult to perform the opening. |

| Getting more of the past events revealed was good. When it was a joint effort, it still doesn't explain why Grandiga can't create the same technology. That the situation escalated back then was Grandiga's fault, so it was justified of Soleil to cut ties with them. Yuki lived up to her role as princess this episode. But Izana and Harold should have stopped her when she decided to save the civilians, who stayed behind. |

| Yeesh. This series is brutal. Wasn't expecting that when I first started it. |
| 1. Miss Etoile will probably die. 2. Her daughter was masked... so, this was Stella? 4/5 |
| Well, we know how Yuuki's parents died and it seems that Layla is Stella's mother. I feel bad for the Princess, she wanted to save a few but in the end they just lost more people than expected. This is war. |
