The Legend of Heroes: Sen no Kiseki - Northern War Episode 6 Discussion

They literally had a checklist of locations that they had to visit within the show huh. But Celdic was defo one that i wanted to see. About time that MI got involved. Giving their antics it was hard not to detect them. Martin being part of the forces that razed Celdic during the turmoil of the civil war though. Nice to see Claire and Millum though looks like Claire has a special uniform for her role within Crossbell though. Seeing the scene get animated really reminds me of just how heinous the jaegers were when they razed the town back then. It was nice to see Glark finally get some real input in managing the jaegers. Overall a pretty fun ep that featured a nice blend if action, revelations and character expansion. Bringing in the ironbloods while also setting the stage for the war added a lot of tension to the narrative.

I was referring to when she was meeting with Rufus. That uniform looked a bit different.
She was wearing the correct one when Martin was talking about the ironbloods though.

You know, when Claire asked Rufus how he was gonna play his cards against North Ambria, I thought she was talking about using Rean in the war. We know she cares about him so it'd make sense she'd be worried about how much they'll keep using him when he's just a student still. Kinda disappointed that wasn't the case but that's on me for misinterpreting.

So Martin's one of the Northern Jaegers that participated in burning Celdic. I get the angle of "he's a soldier so he can't refuse orders" but he still killed innocent people so I'd like to see how they deal with him now.
I understand how many of the Jaegers wouldn't know about the more morally shit missions their superiors participate in. It's not like they'd return home happy about the civillians they killed. I really hope this revelation would lead to the rest of the gang to question what they're fighting for.

I command the anime for addressing the issue I had with Rogan's proposition in episode 2 of attacking the empire first. He's asked how the hell would they do that when they have no hope of winning against the empire. It's unfortunate that his response is "uuuhh if all of our troops attack their critical point (which I'm not gonna name, or how we reach said point) then we could win". Also, the reperations request from the empire should've arrived, right? But I guess we're not addressing that today. (or maybe it didn't arrive)

As always, the action is full of nonsense and made the ironbloods look really incompitent. Lechter doesn't help them because I guess he wants them to work better together. Our main cast are found, no shit when they have a fire lit. Might as well raise a giant flag telling every mf where they are in a 10 miles radius. And both Altina and Millium chase the same guy cause they're stupid.

And we know Lammy and Claimoh Solais have barriers that they can deflect projectiles with cause we played the games, but the anime doesn't show that. Instead it shows Martin not knowing how to shoot to save his live.
I expected Rean to be there and chase after the rest of the team, and that's why Lechter didn't go after them. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it is and that'll be the next episode.

At this point, I'm siding with the empire in annexing North Ambria. If you can't run a country without having to rely on a mecenery group who will gladly kill civillians if they're paid to do so, then I have no sympathy for your country. We can blame the Salt pale disaster or Osborn's schemes, but that doesn't change the fact that they do these things themselves. And of course if we're to believe Rogan in episode 2, then there are a bunch of wealthy people in North Ambria who benefit from that, which weakens any arguement about them needing to do that to survive. The entire government needs to change, at least I would agree with Rogan on that. He's still a grade A moron though.

Also Lammy and Solais have good Intellect and can move on their own. Its them being good at gibing vover and protecting Millium and Altina rather thanartin sucking at shooting.

I know. It's just that the scene shows bullets hitting Lammy and Solais while they're approaching him slowly, so If you don't know anything about them it just looks like he missed the girls for the robots. It's just a minor nitpick in everything else.

Also he didn't shoot the two directly since that will mean business. Remember that Ash shooting the emperor caused the war between Erebonia and Calvard, making Ash a spy in the report to the public. Same can be applied here if he shot it directly at the two instead of their Combat Shells
