This ep always gives me goosebumbs

Rostislav

I'm on Wes's side here, I also think they are still too friendly towards her. Russians killed many people I knew personally, so I can't imagine talking calmly with Russians, especially those who work in their military structure.

I just noticed Lena asked for the name of their cat before their actual names lol

i think the emphases on asking their "real names" is important, like Theo said at this point in the story even if she thinks she's being genuine Lena is doing the bare minimum to be able to feel like she's not part of the problem (she said herself that she knew she wouldn't have problems for speaking up in class because her uncle is one of the higher ranks), like bro ok you don't call them 86 but that doesn't mean the propaganda have no effect on you, you didn't even entertain the idea of asking for their actual names, you still see them as lesser beings (even unconciously) and no amount of asking about their cat and being "friendly" and them being polite in return will change that

kirschblüte (real name Kaie) is a code name. so is gunslinger (kurena - the girl who likes undertaker (shin). they're 2 different people guys.

Just for context, hair color and eye color (and skin obvs) represent different races in this universe, it’s not really mentioned outside just the alba race being described

It seems they didn't mess anything up, did they?

Rostislav

Yes, that's why it looks hypocritical. Just like a high-ranking nobleman handing out a few cupcakes to the starving population. He feels sorry for them, but he doesn't even think about doing anything about it, using all his power. He subconsciously believes that this state of affairs is normal. It's a bit like how the Western world treats poor African countries, throwing free money and goods at them out of pity, without realizing that in doing so, they are killing their own industries and economies and fueling corruption. Instead of redirecting these massive funds to the development of local startups, infrastructure construction, opening markets for their production, etc.

They thought Gunslinger is the one that died

I really like the direction in Eighty-Six. Shooting this fight from her perspective is supposed to be jarring. It feels disconnected. But you also see her "helplessness" in just sitting there, away from the battlefield, you hear things and see some data and that is all.

A quick correction on your discussion: Gunslinger is the red haired girl that likes Shin, she's a sniper which is why Lena recommended she take the high-ground. Kirshblutte (the one that died) is the dark-haired girl that called Lena naive in the previous scene.

I mean as soon as the OSTs start the goosebumbs start tbh😭

This episode hits so hard for me. The line that points out Lena had not yet asked for their names, when just a scene prior Lena almost immediately asked for the cat's name in conversation...just floored me. Admittedly when I first watched this, I had not even noticed that Lena was strictly using the Spreadhead's code names (or aka "personal names" to be more lore accurate). It was an amazing way to contrast and highlight how Lena, despite being vastly different in attitude towards the 86 compared to other Alba, is still subconsciously affected by her environment of discrimination against the 86. Also to clarify a slight misunderstanding: During the battle sequence Lena had directed Gunslinger to the high ground. Whereas it was Kirschblüte in a different location on the map that had unknowingly wandered into wetlands where she got stuck and subsequently met her end. So they were two different characters. And yes, Kirschblüte is the one that had positively interacted with Lena, which hurts all the more. And Gunslinger (who survived the battle) is the one that has a crush on Shin - and hates all the "white pigs".

There where so many little details you didn't so or point out. That's what make the charme of the anime. Like a parodie of the American "We want you" in the library, it's so funny.

I DIDN'T NOTICE, SHE DID ASK THE CAT NAME BUT NOT THEIRS 😭

Noticing that Shin is reading All Quiet on the Western Front hit me like a ton of bricks the first time I watched this. A child soldier reading a book about young men sent to a meat grinder with no hope is a special kind of sadness. Even the girls instantly pulling pistols at the river was more sad than funny to me. Just that instant engrained "respond with violence" flinch reminded me so much of combat vets dealing with PTSD I've known.

I reccommend watching the intros end every time - the part where last or first episode Wes noticed the people standing infront of the light,

There's a great reason why maps are considered as highly confidential information and is strictly forbidden to be shared to the Eighty-Six... All of your questions are going to be answered, don't worry.

The contrast between when they’re fighting and when they’re just living life in their barracks is so stark, it almost feels like two different shows. It’s also kind of cool how they show us the same conversation from both perspectives.
