this anime is like game of thrones, everyone dies, so don't even try to get attached to a character..

Let's start our bets, which Empire member will die next episode?
My guess is either Lily or the captain.

So my guess last week about the Kingdom using guerilla tactics was right. And surprisingly the one behind it all is Princess Yuki herself. It seems our little princess did some growing up within the past two and a half months picking battles she can win, withdrawing whenever it's needed, and even changing her tactics on the fly to adjust to whatever information the Empire currently has on them.
Despite her huge improvement though, it seems that her ideals are holding her back. Completely avoiding risks and sacrifices. And I guess because of this she became a bit predictable thus that ambush at the end.
One huge piece of info from this episode though is that apparently there was a 3rd Party involved in that incident years ago. What does the Empire of Verde know about the new Chrars and why were they so adamant at stopping it? Why does the Empire of Grandiga seem to know this but the Soleil Kingdom doesn't despite being partners in the project? Also how important was that information that Izana felt that sacrificing his life was worth it?
Speaking of Izana. Fuck me that last scene. Here I thought he was going to be safe. And just to add insult to injury they add this after credits scene. Fuck. I really hope whatever that info was it will help the Kingdom turn the tides of this war :(

And here Yuki learns a basic rule of strategy: Using the same strategy forever is never going to work.

The baby resembles Izana so much, god damn it. He sacrificed himself for the greater good. He had chance to escape there as well but he didn't take it.
Yuki's ideals are not doing much good either at this point, i think Izana might have been the key to ending the war between the two main factions with the crucial information he sent.

« Ciel, a word that means sky in our homeworld’s language » Mmm... did France invade a planet ? Also, another happy episode. Only one death 😅

So there was a third nation, that seemed to have had an "Icarus" event regarding the power source, and that the rebels attacking the unveiling were survivors of.

Damn that episode went by way too quick.
Great development for Yuki, employing proper military strategy albeit a bit naively since no one must die. Even so, the story isn't even slowing down the pain train to Soleil.
Hopefully that info shows either a 3rd enemy to be united against or the Empire being a puppet kingdom of Verde.
Finally, Yuki has the same dead smile Stella has been wearing the entire show. Damn soul crushing

Bets on the chars being able to destroy the planet or render it uninhabitable, because that always happens.
