Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Character Deaths

[@alicereader]

I love how the war is not glorified in this show. Even the protagonist and core characters of the history died in simple ways, like normal people, and not like great heroes.

If Yang had married her, that death might have radically changed his positions about what his duties were. He could have become more aggressive in his actions.

[@Itisoverthere-rw]

Killing Jessica was quite a dick move from the writer. He teased us with the possibility of a romance between her and Yang, only to have her brutalised by the biggest asshole in the National Salvation Military Counsil. The relationship between Jessica and Yang becomes more tragic in the movie "Overtune to a New War" (the one that remakes the first two episode with extra details). It was after this movie that I realised what an asshole Lapp was.

[@apotato6278]

Bucock's death is in my opinion the most bittersweet moment in the entire series. He'd fought his entire life to preserve the FPA and as the system crumbles around him he goes down with it. One final toast to democracy, one final toast to a life well lived.

I think Jessica Edward's death was a turning point in the series for me. If Legend of the Galactic Heroes would've been a normal anime, she would've sat down afterwards, with a bruise to her head and would've been angry about the military's brutality. Yet, they took the turn for realism, being beaten with a gun multiple times can easily lead to death. I also read she was shot, but it honestly didn't look like that to me. Still, it was one of the most shocking events early on in the show and made me realize what was most likely to come (and did). Truly what an utterly amazing show this is.

[@jju00]

My turning point was with Kircheis' death. It's not often that a story is willing to kill such a central character so early

Scheonkopf's death was so badass. Whereas most character's receive an exact time of death from the narrator, his is unknown, and you can tell from the situation that that's because none of the enemy soldiers surrounding him in his last moments had the balls to go and check if he was really dead.

[@_mariko791]

[@Itisoverthere-rw]

Reuental and Shenkopf take the cake. It was like death itself was afraid about taking these two.

[@jemimafajutagana5475]

Which made them foils to each other, as both Schönkopf and Reuenthal love a good fight, popular with the ladies, and loyal to their leaders. The differences are that Schönkopf remained loyal to the very end, as well as respectful towards women: the very traits that Reuenthal lacked.

[@Itisoverthere-rw]

@@jemimafajutagana5475 I think the main differences between the two can be summed up as ambition and upbringing. Schonopf grew up with loving grandfather and learnt to be loyal and tempered his urges while Reuental was the bastard son of a disloyal woman. His step father resented him and every time he looked at the mirror his eyes reminded him of his origins. Reuental's backstory is tragic because all of his flaws can be traced back to his childhood trauma. His behavior towards women is understandable. He suffered from a form of Oedipus complex. His disloyalty is not that simple. Remember, his loyalty had been challenged by Oberstein in the past, an event that cracked his trust to Reinhard and planted the seeds for a clash between the two. His rebellion was the result of outside players exploiting his character flaws and his inability to go past said flaws. I see Reuental as the kind of man that comes once every generation but he is screwed up by his shortcomings and the fact that a man that comes once every 10 generations overshadows him. The relationship between Reuental and Reinhad has a few similarities between Lion El Jonson and Luthor from Warhammer 40K.

[@edhelsindar4966]

@@jemimafajutagana5475 I think perhaps you are reading it a little bit shallowly. Reuenthal is faithful to Reinhard, not in a way an ordinary vassal to his lord, but in the way that he finally understood Reinhard in personal level, that Reinhard needed war to live and shine, and to echo this Reinhard’s brilliance and unspeakable belligerent desire, reuenthal chose to rebel, not only to fulfill his own will but actually also to meet Reinhard’s expectation. The reason why he hated Oberstein was also out of the same loyalty. In the original novel, the author described him and Oberstein winning over Reinhard as “chasing after the same jewel”. They have very different expectation and ideal for the emperor. That’s why Reuenthal never took down Reinhard’s flag in the end, and killed the former alliance leader when he slandered Reinhard in his face. There’s a strange loyalty in him. He’s a complex character.

Wolfen443- Oh there are way more casualties than that. It's said in series that when Rudolf von Goldenbaum changed the Galactic Federation to the Galactic Empire there were 300 billion people alive. By the time the series starts with the Battle of Astarte there are are 45 billion people alive total if you combine the populations of the Empire, the FPA and Fezzan. So even that means in the 150 years of war between the Empire and FPA around 255 billion people died.

What an absolutely underrated franchise; this is a story about giant space battles but it isn't glorious or heroic, but mostly grim, depressing, and solemn. While it has been years since I last watched an episode, I do remember that for the most part, a person's death didn't affect society all that much, and it was pretty common to lose several characters in the same campaign. The notable exceptions I can remember are the deaths of Kircheis (being Reinhard's closest friend, second-in-command, and nearly on par to him in regards to strategy & command), as he was killed in front of Reinhard and his death shook Reinhard so much that he almost became a recluse in his depression; the death of Yang Wen-li, as he was sent as an ambassador and was the hero of the Free Planets Alliance, as well as someone who Reinhard had wished to meet since their 2nd or 3rd skirmish against one another many years ago; and, the death of Reinhard himself, being the kaiser of the Galactic Empire. Other than those deaths, the war march didn't stop.

[@RobertMuldooJP]

Probably at least 2/3

[@yangwenli-gingaeiyudentets3049]

00:00 ¿Que es eso? ¿Es una película o secuela de LOGH? Alguien que me diga porfa para verlo, he visto imágenes de ello dónde parece ser el pasado de los personajes como esa chica de pelo negro que está con annerose grunewald. Quisiera saber.graciad

[@RobertMuldooJP]

Hello! The first death was from the original series as well, all deaths are in the video description, but this character died on episode 77

[@yangwenli-gingaeiyudentets3049]

@@RobertMuldooJP Oh, I almost don't remember, horita was researching another ova by logh called gaiden and I thought it was that one, I'm looking for that one subtitled in Spanish, but thanks for the fact, I almost don't remember that guy who died at first.

[@Shasen589]

You forgot Kempf and Steinmetz

[@RobertMuldooJP]

I only had so much time lol

[@Sargonarhes]

Manly tears are shed. But you forgot Admiral Kempf and Steinmetz. Their deaths were more tragic than that of Braunschweig.

[@RobertMuldooJP]

Sargonarhes lol...I wouldn't say the prince's death was tragic...it was well deserved :p

[@Sargonarhes]

That would go the same with Trunicht. How many of us cheered when Reuenthal gunned him down in cold blood. Reuenthal did the FPA a favor even if it was only for Reinhard's sake. I just feel Steinmetz didn't get enough credit first as Captain of Reinhard's flagship the Brunhild and later as an Admiral in the fleet. His line of the movie My Conquest is the Sea of Stars as Yang's ship got close under the Brunhild and Reinhard refused to be a hostage and ordered to keep up the attack, it was Steinmetz that stood up and reminded him "You command the fleet, I command this ship." Reinhard had so many capable and talented men under his command.

The most shocking death for me... Was Bittenfeld's. And how it never came. But seriously, I was saluting every fallen soldier while watching this show, that's how much I loved these guys.

[@RobertMuldooJP]

True I thought he would die...

La muerte de Kircheis y Yang fueron las que más me hicieron llorar :( la de Jessica fue horrible. Y las muertes de Schenkopt y Reventhal :'( Y Bewcock y Merkatz. La lista es muy larga :C

[@jemimafajutagana5475]

That's not all of the characters' deaths: Ofresser was executed for leaving his fellow soldiers to die (he wasn't), while Ansbach killed himself with a poison pill.

[@RobertMuldooJP]

I didn't say it was every characters death in the entire series :p

Been watching the new reboot series and was curious for some spoilers. Now I think I’m going to drops the series, not because it’s bad, but because I don’t think my heart can handle of deaths of all these characters. I really like Yang a lot ;(

[@RobertMuldooJP]

You should watch the original. I started watching reboot but I don't think it has the same epic story and character development...it's more shallow and pretty

[@JudgementalGoat]

This show is fucking glorious and highly underrated

[@RobertMuldooJP]

At one time it was rated the #1 anime on AnimeNfo...that's how I heard about it.

[@yazoonodorei8690]

Deaths that really got to me: Bucock, Machengo, Schonkopf, Oberstein, poor Fahrenheit, Jessica Edwards, Yang, Merkatz. Reuenthal's death is also heart-wrenching, but his wounds were treatable. He could have lived had he wanted to...

[@RobertMuldooJP]

How are you liking the new anime vs the original?

[@yazoonodorei8690]

@@RobertMuldooJP I don't like the design whatsoever. Too bishonen-y for my liking. And Obersten doesn't look as cryptic and 'robotic' as he's supposed to be. He rather looked like a flirt to me. Which he is not. I couldn't bear to watch it whole.

[@jemimafajutagana5475]

Even if he had his wound treated, Reuenthal would still die anyway, albeit in a less honorable way via execution.

[@RobertMuldooJP]

@@yazoonodorei8690 I don't mind some of the characters redesign....others felt way off...like Schenkopp...wtf was that lol

It would have been better if Bruno (minister of industry) was not killed. He was so important for empire. When I watched I wanted him to become prime minister as he planned to. But he couldn't. It's very sad

i thought this would be just a compilation of deaths not a dramatic montage like. Im glad they didnt put powerful music like this in the actual series when the characters died. My eyes would be drained of all tears.

I've always wondered if the painting that catches Bruno von Silberberch's attention before the bomb goes off has any meaning and what is it. I mean, if not why is he surprised about it? Or is it that he just "senses" that something is going to happen? Doed anyone know???
