Hes talking about Simon becoming a hobo at the end. Probably.

Also, Simon is a wandering traveller because he chooses to be. The movie is a lot better with that.

That's what I figured. But I thought maybe he meant the whole part where Simon is grown up after they defeat the Beastmen.

Hey, Count Mariendorf was present at the Kastrop Rebellion? I didn't realize that was when he was introduced.

Wahlen was around this early as well? Honestly the first time I remember him doing something was + Show Spoiler + So this is a semi-pleasant surprise. I like him. Lutz is there too. Well, I remember Reinhard brought together his subordinates early on in the show, I had just forgotten Lutz and Wahlen were among them.

Also, with this rebellion where they used Zephyr Particles to destroy those satelites, keep them in mind. The use of Zephyr Particles forces various... situations in the future that made me go o_O when I first watched it.

Hilda gets a very subtle introduction too. This seems to be a theme so far, with subtle introductions lol

I remember the Rosen Ritter using them as kind of a grenade in the takeover of Iserlohn.

Yeah, pretty much they are used to force situations like that, where they fight hand-to-hand. IMO it wasn't well explained enough in certain parts where they are fight hand-to-hand with battle axes rather than lasers, is because Zephyr Particles would blow everything up if they fired lasers.

My god, Fork is so retarded it hurts just thinking about it. The supply lines are safe because they're behind the frontlines? WTF. It's hard enough to defend a supply line in 2D space. Defending an area in 3D space is practically impossible unless you dedicate a ton of resources solely for defense. There's just too many approach vectors to account for.

It seems that half the council is composed of idiots as well. It's pretty clear that half the council consists of stupid people who are making decisions just to get reelected (especially that woman. I hate her so much). Trunicht may have ulterior motives, but at least he's smart. -_-

I like that Napoleon's invasion of Russia during the war of 1812 was mentioned. In case you didn't know, basically the French army was just crushing the Russians, but while retreating, the soldiers would burn the fields so that the French would be unable to forage for food easily. Hence why it's referred to as a "scorched earth" tactic. The Russians went so far as to have the majority of the population of Moscow destroy all the food stores in the city before evacuating. It was pretty crazy stuff.
