ok so the arc is finally over, and this would be my fav episode yet. The kind of episode I could just relax, sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy.
A lot of foreshadowing by Yang (again), especially the part where Dusty and Yang ask what they'll be doing in 10 or 20 years, and Dusty mentions Mafia 730.

and the reason for the old man (rosas) suicide was purely escapist philosophy...whats the point of killing yourself now when you're gonna die in a few years anyway.

Not a very exciting or surprising ending, but it was interesting.

Yeah, I agree with Luthimal. All in all, I guess this arc could have been better I suppose. Though I do have to say that I liked these last few episodes a hell of a lot more than the prison camp stuff and it was cool to see the contrast between the Yang group and 730 Mafia. I think this just highlights that Yang was a genuine hero, in contrast to Ashby.

Very interesting story behind this mystery. It was a very good arc, even though it was a bit slow and didn't have much action.

Hrmmm . . . So it didn't really have as much relevance to the future as I thought it would. Anyways, now it is soon time for Yang to encounter Reinhard. Anyways, I'm surprised he was stuck as a Lt. Commander for so long.

It still ended without us knowing who and if Ashley was murdered. But that's what makes LOGH so unique. It can allow itseld to leave things like they maybe would in real life.

Liked this arc more than Imperial stuff. Not much action, but very thoughtful.

It was good to see Yang Wenli again. If it had been 140 episodes instead of 14 of Yang's past, i'd have watched with pleasure.

So in the end Ashbey won his battles thanks to a spy, that takes away a lot of his merits.

A whole argumentative plot, what ends a Yang´s theory interesting, although he cann´t prove that don´t have evidences, alone intuition ;)

What a thoughtful arc desu. I'm always surprised at how the storylines from the author of LotGH can be so unique due to the amount of worldbuilding done beforehand yet so familiar

This arc is where the gaidens reach the quality of the main LOGH series run.
Great stuff.

I was listening like a little child to Yang's theory and found it really interesting, made me eager too think back of something connecting all of these incidents and the conclusion I reached was this
probably wrong though but I like to think of it like this

Excellent arc, especially when Yang joined Econia. I really enjoyed Kefenhiller.

Perhaps some infodumping in the first episodes, but being LoGH enthusiast my complaint has no reason to exist. :)
