Maze - the plan to kidnap the child emperor and use the underground maze to escape.

Compared to the OVA, they've added quite a few new scenes.

Let's see how the kidnapping plays out in Reinhard's favor. Next episode title: The Die Is Cast.

Surprisingly, this episode only adapts a part of episode 37 of the OVA. The rest of that OVA episode's content should be in the next episode of DNT. OVA episode 36 was last week's episode of DNT.

I also believe that this season won't be enough to get to where part 2 of the OVA ends, as there's another 17 or so episodes remaining, so they will most likely stretch this season out and episode 48 will be Phezzan Occupied, and S5 will be the continuation of Operation Ragnarok (or they stop part way through like they did for S3&4)

Most likely, they will finish animating the fourth volume of the original novel this season. Which ends with Fezzan. And the fifth volume is fully animated next season, reaching the middle of the work.

I have a question, is it a good adaptation so far ?

Well, I like it just as much as the old one. So, yes, it's a good adaptation.

the kidnapping or ransom is underway, but unfortunately there are many individual and collective interests of various groups and that complicates the plot"!!!

Landsburg and Schumacher have fled with the child emperor in hand. It seems as if Reinhard and Oberstein let them abduct him. Not just let them waltz right in but they didn't do anything to purposefully stop them either. Reinhard sees this abduction as a potential good thing since they can use it to move on Fezzan and the Alliance. Forcing that deal onto Fezzan that Reinhard told the commissioner last episode. Landsburg being used for his romantic notions of rescuing the emperor from this dastardly usurper Reinhard. Schumacher just wanting to accomplish the mission and get back to his people. The secret passages letting them escape with no resistance. Now they have the kid and Reinhard has his just cause.

So I’m curious. Does Reinhard care about the emporer at all? I guess it takes care of a future problem when the kid comes of age. Now he can continue with his plans by putting an infant on the throne he can continue to rule and not have to kill his nephew. Interesting episode

We can't really explain why as it would spoil the plot for the next 20 episodes or so, but to answer whether he cares about the child emperor, yes and no. Plus he isn't his nephew, they are from completely separate families.

I think the Boltik guy - was nice. Don't remember the old OVA version of him anymore though. But the face design and voice acting - nice. Also Kessler looks nice. Nice that he is getting screentime in this arc. The dialogue with Oberstein was great - where he hinted that he happily would give his life for Reinhard.

So they kidnapped Erwin, finally. I remember seeing the scene on the opening for last season and thinking "was this so soon and the story??" and no, it took 16 episodes to get here lol

And yeah, I was thinking we don't have enough episodes to get to the end of S2 of the OVA, which is a shame. I was so looking forward seeing that!
I hope and pray we get a new season announcement as soon as this one ends!

My bad I thought the emperor was his sisters child by former emperor.

I don’t know why I just noticed this, but the empire's infrastructure is less modern than that of the Alliance. 

They’re giving the throne to a five month baby? Did I heard the right lmao.

The kid is extremely angry. What did the teddy bear do to you? Good thing the maid passed out, she would’ve been another innocent victim caught in the middle of conflict.
