86 Eighty Six - Details And Symbolism You Missed - Season 1 Part 3 (Episode 23 Analysis) 

I found an extra bit of symbolism that some of you might have missed. The duration of this video is 16:52. What's 16 + 52? Answer is 68. 68 means nothing. However, if you read the number like you do a manga, from left to right, (or you know... if you simply just flip the numbers around). 68 turns to 86. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Well done @ctrlaltQQ 😁👍🏿

This anime is the best thing that has ever happened and the director deserves all the praise and worship. Your analysis videos are amazing, and I hope to see more in the future.

14:53 IMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA So true, so true. The song analysis part nearly made me cry

Ngl, this anime is truly the anime of the year on every anime social media, unlike crunchyroll turned into a popularity award though. The story, cinematography, allegories, and the direction of the series were unique and well effort they've put in despite the circumstances they faced. Right now, watching it for the 4th time, this time on netflix. Lastly, LilaS has other meaning also, "Lena is looking after Shin"

11:35 oh Kurena... your ship NEVER even left the harbor E M O T I O N A L D A M A GE

I am now waiting for season 2 with the rest of you! Maybe one day!

You are born too late to explore the world You are born too early to explore the star But you born at the right time to see this masterpiece

Some more meaning that you didn't mention. Lena is indeed in Jerome's office when she receives her unit roster. In fact, we see his boots left on the desk. In the previous video, you noted that when he meets Lena for the final time, his boots are more weathered and damaged. That's because he switches out his usual ceremonial uniform for his old combat uniform. Also, Lena's reaction upon seeing her unit roster is not just suspicion, but also apprehension and disbelief. In the meeting with her superior, we learn her assignment is to work with the Federacy to clear out the remaining Legion in the Republic's territory. But her unit, called the 86th Strike Package, is clearly comprised of former 86. While we the audience know why the Federacy is doing this, Lena is concerned why the Federacy would let a San Magnolian Alba lead an unit comprised of former 86. It's as if things aren't changing despite the fall of the Republic. This misunderstanding leads to Lena reflecting on Jerome's words, about buying her time until her naive, idealistic dream shatters. Yet, while she's thinking about her dream, and asking her uncle to give her a little more time before she gives up on it, we switch the to graffiti on the welcome sign. So rather than shattering, her dream "will come true."

The ending is Perfect IMO, Like usually anime made me cry because sad things happen like when a certain character is death, parting away, or frustated. But this one is rare, The Characters Attachment is very strong, I cried because they finally can meet each other. "A Happy End?" "Bittersweet?" perfectly executed. Make Me excited to see another season and yet I'm scared of it..

Aye thanks for watching Part 3!! I know everyone's been waiting a long time for this one, I hope you liked it. Please share and like this video! Technically I made it in time within 86 days since I uploaded it on 6/13/22, but RU-vid didnt finish processing it until 6/14/22 but who cares! Drop a comment, let me know what you think. I love all of your comments. Edit: Lots of people saying Jerome is Lena's uncle from her mother's side, but here's my observation: "Uncle" is a common thing in the east where they call everyone oji-san, related or not. Jerome never called Lena's father has her brother or brother in law. Lena calls him Oji-san, which can be translated as like a term for an older man, which was translated to uncle but it doesnt really mean uncle in the family sense

I found another fact in the songs. I read the light novels, and I notice that Avid is from Lena's perspective, and even says things that she says, but later, that is, that at the moment they have only happened in the novels and not in the anime. Just as Voices of the Chord, which could be taken as Avid in English, has completely different lyrics, and as with Lena, this one is from Shin's point of view, and says things that, at the moment, it only happen in the light novels.

this show and dororo hit in the feeling and let me with a smiles in the end, both got a strong women mio and anju, a story with meaning i cant no ask for more.

I can definitely see how much passion you've put into this video, and also how much you admire this series as much as we all do. Thank you for pointing out the details!

Yikes. Almost crying on the bus in Austin on my way to work. Stunning video, magnificent work. I could watch you tear out meanings all day, but 86 will always remain inspiring and heart aching. I am stupedously grateful for efforts like this which deepen and extend my enjoyment of media.

Have you/are you reading the LNs? If not I highly recommend them. I had read all the follow on volumes (available in English) but was still utterly amazed at what the anime accomplished. It is, beyond any doubt, the finest translation from LN to anime I have ever experienced. I have been watching anime/reading source material since the Space Battleship Yamato/Starblazers days (I am definitely giving away my age here) and have never been this impressed. I would guarantee that if you were to read on (and the LNs are absolutely fantastic) you will not be disappointed. I just hope that when/if they continue this anime it will be under the same directorial/production team as I feel only they could do it justice.

Thank you. There is so much beauty in this that it is nearly impossible to capture it all. Your efforts have been a gift, so thank you. To tie in with Theo's comparison, Kurena has a big turn around as well that was not fully explored. In the beginning she basically lumped Lena in the same group as war criminals (witnessing the execution of her parents as 'entertainment' target practice while they were entering the camps) and outright hates her. Throughout their time in Spearhead she strongly rejects Lena more than anyone else until the end. In the shower scene it is Kurena that voices concern about how what will happen to them will scar Lena (with Anju's physical scars becoming highlighted) as she is near a nervous breakdown trying to keep them going when they are about to be sent out to be exterminated. In the battle with the Legionized Rei, not only does Lena and Kurena work together to save Shin by putting precision artillery rounds on target they trust each other completely with the other four Spearhead member's lives to do so, with Lena whispering in Kurena's ear that she does not want Shin to die either. That word 'either' acknowledging, if unintended, that Shin being very important to each of them ties them together. Later in the Federacy, it is Kurena that breaks out in tears that Lena is alive. Even though she sees each other as rivals for Shin, she welcomes Lena openly and gladly as Lena is where she belongs. Not with the Alba but with the 86. In the photo, she has her foot between Shin and Lena, yet she's also making space for her with Shin at one hand and herself on the other. Both are standing with Lena at this point but also forming a triangle. This position shows one of blocking Lena's advancement, yet also stepping aside as her right hand is behind Lena as if to usher her forward into her place. Later on in the novels, Kurena reaches a point where she tells Lena that she hates losing Shin to anyone but her. A person she once said she would never forgive, as that would be forgiving the crimes against her family: the murder of her parents and her older sister's death. Yet, as the Spearhead 5 are adopted on paper this implies that should things work out Kurena accepts Lena as a future part of her family and a surviving older sister.

Wow this is excellently done. Usually these types of “hidden details” videos just contain some of the most obvious, basic “Easter eggs” that anyone could easily find. But this shows a deep analysis and attention to detail to things that you really wouldn’t notice unless you really were paying extra close attention.

86 had become one of my favorite animes after its first part release…..your videos make me love it so much more. The anime itself made me cry. And now understanding some of the symbolism makes me cry even more. Keep up the great work!

Finally, after 2 months, part 3 has arrived

86 is truly a masterpiece. I think this analisys videos are the best in the youtube. Can't wait for more. Thank you.

I really like this series of videos. Eighty Six is an anime with TONS of little details in the background, it's evident the staff was really dedicated to make the best experience for the watchers. I can't wait for the next season, I hope they take their time to make it as good as the first one (or even better!) Also, second best girl is Anju? you're a person of culture

Thank you so much for covering this. The last two episodes were not only masterpieces, they were above and beyond what anyone expected. I always come back to the last two eps from time to time so that I can remind myself how truly phenomenal this series was.

Appreciate your analysis and this show's insane attention to detail

thank you for showing all the magnificent bits I never noticed while watching the show. You did such an amazing job outlining the heart and the soul of this beautiful anime. I'll definitely give 86 a rewatch, keeping all the symbolism in mind I learned of, watching your 3 parts. Cheers and love from Germany

This was so good!!! Love the bit about LilaS where you translated the lyrics for us + aligned the music with the scene!

another tidbit I wanted to point out which could be nothing, but in the final moments of their hands straying towards each other, Shin is on the right of the screen and Lena is on the left. When they're hands form the numbers it's Shin's left hand and Lena's right. A bit of symbolism (in that because most of the world is right hand dominant and thus is the hand that would primarily wield weapons) the right hand is often the hand of "War" and the left is the hand of "Peace" as in Kung Fu the courteous way to show respect is to place an open left hand over a closed right fist as the left hand denotes peace and restraint while the right is your martial art, signifying there is peace and restraint over my power. Shin is on the right of the screen. Shin was the one who began in war and strife. Lena is on the left of the screen. Lena is the one who began in peace and civilization. When their hands come together it is Shin's left hand. Shin has finally learned peace. Lena extends her right hand. She has learned of war.

I'm mind-blown how an anime so good is so underrated, I found it by accident while searching for another anime, it's one of the best things that I came across this year.

Wow thank you! I never realized the lyrics matched the meeting of both shin and lena. Makes the whole scene more beautiful.

After I watched this anime recently it holds the top spot on my favourite animes. There have been so many shows, movies and animes that have the main characters speak to each other but never meet up and it enraged me so when 86 did it it filled a void in me and I can die happy. The background piano music of the final song in this video also made me cry and I was on the morning train to school

ahhhh this was so good!!!! the symbolism blows my mind!! the writers are actually cracked at how they intricately thought out everything I cant wait for more videos and the return of the anime!

Good timing. I just binged through all of 86 in the past few weeks. You could tell from just watching the series that there were a lot of "show don't tell" moments, but I went through all your 3 videos here and I'm amazing on how many more details I missed! Thank you for making these! This show definitely deserves more attention (and another season :) )

Oh my, the Lilas lyric timing is absolutely perfect! This just elevates the scene even higher for me!

One of the best breakdowns I've seen, amazing stuff my friend!

86 deserves more attention from everyone 😭 absolutely best anime for 2022

Amazing video. Thank you for showing me how much care and attention the creators put into 86. 86 is and will always be my favorite.

I learn Japanese from college, and when first time hear LilaS, I'm so sad and happy at same time

Great video, yesterday I was going to the lyrics of LilaS and I notice how the song is basically them telling their feeling at that moment but what i was missing is how perfectly timed the that scene is with the song. Kudos for your time in making this video.

Great videos, loved the care and inclusion of scenes/music makes it have more impact. Muh heart. Let’s hope for s2 with Ishii/sawano again.

Your analysis of the details of this anime have given me a newfound appreciation for one of my favorite shows of all time. You deserve way more subscribers if you look at the great quality of this video! Incredible job!

Honestly, your content is mindblowing and heartwarming. Kudos to 86's creator and animation team for all these crazy details.

i say this with the utmost respect and stuff but hands down 86 is the best anime ever created

Hey man, just wanna let you know I’m definitely that other 14% who sat through the entirety of your 3 videos. Your findings just boost my love for this anime even more when it’s already among the best I’ve ever seen. The story telling and characters are nothing short of phenomenal. The way this series tackles political issues amazes me. Lena is especially relatable for me in the way she despises all the propagandas of her country and her desire to seek unity. The music of this anime is brilliant and I can say the same for the director. Thanks for giving us these beautiful details about this anime. 86 is truly a story worthy a lifetime of memories

These videos make me love this show even more, keep up the good work. Easily one of my favorite animes.

amazing analysis video, thank you

Parts 1-3 were a great watch. Fantastic videos. Subscribed!

Great video man holy crap I missed a lot of these little details. The Director of this show was so good, the extra effort can really be seen on a rewatch.

When the world needed him most he returned.

i love you so much for these 86 videos bro, thank you

great video as always! thanks for taking the time to analyze this wonderful series, we appreciate it

This video is so well-made

Imagine not being part of the elite 14%

This can be so far the deepest detail analysis video that I ever been watched, thank you..

The Video We've All Been Waiting For!

Thank you for the incredible analysis! :)

Passion can be literally felt throughout the anime and it's strong

YOOOOOOO this was insane, I was looking at all the detail while watching the show knowing it to be deep, but there's still so much i missed. thanks!

I've finally watched all episodes of the anime, and I am genuinely amazed. It's really one of those really REALLY great anime that deserves more praise and attention. Your video series about the details made me understand more, and appreciate the director's huge efforts on this anime. That also includes your videos as well. Well directed and phased especially parts of conveying the details and ost choices for those moments. Thanks for the videos.

You really needed to know that cutting together the fido montage and the ending together will cause mass heartbreak

Finally a video series w/o ms voice, thanks for the upload!

wow i've been waiting 86 days LOL but so well worth the wait!! loved the analysis now i gotta rewatch the series :,)

15:43 I like the detail you put at the end of the video with the morpho ost like in the first season finale, great video

It was worth the wait; this journey made feel glad to be alive. And all these little details show how much care and passion the staff put in the work; thanks for the video I really apreciate it.

It was a long time, but it's definitely worth the wait just like ep 22 and 23. Hope to see more from you and 86

the song explaining made me cry much bro, you did well

Magnificent work ! I will spread it.

I aPpreciate the videos. Watched till the end. Was a nice journey

did you really have to get me emotional again? great video man.

this is the best complete in-depth analysis and attention to details great work, due to this I even added this to my one of the best anime overall hoping that it make's another season reference to light novel

thank you for making these vids; theyre great in inking the sketches from my memories of the show and im super grateful that you picked out and shared all these details in fellow appreciation for this work

The three videos are absolutely amazing, thank you for making this. In literal tears with the lilas part

Blew my mind! This show really is a masterpiece. Thanks for pointing all of it, the song meaning was what really blew my mind.

Thanks for completing this series for the first season! Will look forward to more when Season 2 arrives 👍 And RIP Billy Kametz, Shin's English VA 😥

impecable work as always man. incredible analysis. keep it up!

only found this video today but I wanted to say thank you so much for all the work and research you did to make this. I never realized there was so much details and symbolism hidden in so few episodes and this video was so informative. I’m majoring in film and the way you executed this video was basically perfect in my eyes. From the presentation, pacing, and execution it was amazing. Thank you so much for this gift to the 86 anime fandom. You even went through the trouble to present how the music matched the ending scene. I really appreciate this series and hope to see more videos like this from you sir. I feel like this expands my enjoyment of the series as a whole.

Masterclass analysis ❤ this makes me pumped to write ❤

I CAN'T WAIT for Ep. 22 Analysis!!! Your videos are awesome man!

Amazing man

That song breakdown hits hard. Thanks for explaining that!

Thanks for these videos man, great analysis! Underrated anime and underrated channel

love your videos with 86.

now i wanna cry again

This is currently my best video on youtube. Thank you.

We actually got a glimpse of Anju's future in episode 23. Unless you've read the LN you'll never notice it.

86 definitely on my top 5

You made me cry again man...chefs kiss...omg this anime is is like clannads...makes you cry everytime

tysm for hype me up and raise appreciation for the greatest work of art there’s! enjoyed the series and your review/decomposition! ps cant wait for ln volumes 5 & 6 i ordered to arrive🥲

Exquisite analysis! Amazing! Saw all 3 parts and all of them were perfect! 😭 _(crying from the beauty of this video)_ In general, I've seen a lot of good well written animes but this one - _The 86_ stands out the most due to its share of detailed and hidden meaning to it. Everything that you described, and analysed had a hidden symbolism which meant something. Not many authors will do that. But for the ones who do, makes the series stand out the most and are the most impactful. It's full of soul and love! I really hope they keep adapting 86 into anime. Amazing start and an amazing end to the series. The most interesting part which I actually didn't notice was those three Alban bragging dushbags had their tables turned upside down. At first, I didn't recognise them but when you look into them deeper it's them. It's such a valuable lesson to take! I'll explain with a quote _"One lie can ruin a thousand truths"_ - the nation was built on false truth that made these Albians boost them selfs as the dominating race but when the truth came to fruition of that the 86 are the ones who do the dirty job for them and that the San Magnolia's empire is nothing without them. They are garbage. And so, they are literal garbage begging for food on the street from the neighbouring alliance supporters. As well, as breaking the whole history for the alba's which was thought in school. My suggestion to You, dear reader, don't be an ass and do actions with good intentions with a higher goal in mind. Thank you for the analysis ctrialQQ! No cap! My utmost respect! 🙏 Now let's patiently wait for the anime continuation of the series. One more thing I will say. R.I.P Billy Kametz the VA of Shin until the last two episodes. His voice will live on forevermore.✝️

Great video just great

absolutely a fantastic vid, almost made me cry remembering the 1st time i watched

Love it! Good Job❤️✨

Okay, that seagull was brilliant.

I'll be waiting for your Part-4 video and also 86 Season 3.
