WMG / The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War

Go To

the North Ambrian cast will suffer from either Anyone Can Die or an "Everybody Dies" Ending
  • Since it was inevitiable that North Ambria will be conquered by Erebonian Empire, it is most likely that the North Ambrian characters will either die horribly, pull off a Heroic Sacrifice, or Undignified Death.
    • The only ones who end up dying are Glark and Jayna. Everyone else lives.

Lavian will be killed by Rean
  • Lavian will most likely be killed in 2 ways: either Rean will be forced to kill her by Rufus, or when Rean does not control his Spirit Unification, goes into his ogre mode and Lavian will be killed because of his rampage.
    • Jossed. She survives.

Lavian will be killed by either a member of the Ironblood or Ouroboros
  • If Rean does not kill Lavian, she will also be killed by either an Ouroboros mole or an Ironblood member after bonding with Rean which will trigger his ogre mode and destroy the North Ambrian capital singlehandedly.
    • Jossed.

Role Reprises in the English dub
  • Since it was announced that the Anime will get an English dub, some of the voice cast will most likely reprise their roles:
    • Sean Chiplock as Rean Schwarzer(the best scenario is that he will reprise his role as Rean even if the dub is non-union. However, the worst scenario is that he would turn down reprising his role as Rean because of the fiasco involving Kyle McCarley being replaced in the 3rd season of Mob Psycho 100 by an unknown VA because Crunchyroll won't accept Union dubs, unless the Anime was licensed by Aniplex USA).
    • Xanthe Huynh as Altina Orion
    • Carrie Keranen as Sara Valestein
    • Max Mittelman as Lechter Arundel
    • Michelle Marie as Milium Orion
    • D.C. Douglas as Rufus Albarea
    • Michael Sorich as Giliath Osborne
    • Zach Aguilar as Campanella
    • Valerie Arem as Aurelia Le Guin
      • All confirmed, originally. However, Chiplock and Huynh later had to pull out. Valerie Arem, Carrie Keranen and Michelle Marie also later silently pulled out, and Max Mittelman pulled after just one episode.

Other Cold Steel characters appearing in the anime
  • Since Rufus will appear in the anime, the rest or some of the Ironblood and even Ouroboros members will appear at some point.
  • Jusis Albarea
  • Gaius Worzel
  • Colonel Valestein
    • Confirmed. His death is shown onscreen and it does have massive repercussions to North Ambria as a whole.

Jayna will replace Arianrhod as the Seventh Anguis.
  • While Arianrhod hasn't died yet at this point, she already expresses interest in Ouroboros which happens at the scene after the end credits of episode 2.
    • Jossed. She dies rather anticlimactically by Talion.

Jayna never intended for Lavian's team to succeed in their mission.
  • Due to Lavian being a Military Maverick who will disobey orders at her own discretion, it's possible that her superiors never seriously believed she could enter Erebonia without incurring suspicion. Not helping matters is that by the end of episode 3, Altina is already suspicious of Lavian's team. Jayna may be banking on Lavian getting caught and possibly framed for something worse than spying, resulting in either Erebonia or North Ambria using this as a pretext for war.
    • Confirmed as Martin does get captured and is now in Erebonian custody, which is all according to Jayna's plan. However, Celdic's razing is still used as the pretext for war, which Martin participated in.

We will see Enforcer XVIII being recruted.
  • Considering we have recently been told that the Enforcers' numbers are linked to their order of arrival and that we know for a fact that Enforcer XIX will join after the Northern War, it would be a prime opportunity to introduce Enforcer XVIII by having Ouroboros recruit from the North Ambrian cast.
    • And it'll be Talion, especially if he assassinated Glark, since he's clearly joined Jayna, who just screams "I've either joined or will join Ouroboros". Either that, or Jayna herself. (Lavi and Rogan are also possible, but Lavi doesn't seem dark enough yet, and Rogan is unlikely to survive.)
      • Jossed. No one becomes a new member of Ouroboros.

If any member of the North Ambrian cast somehow live, they will end up in Calvard at the end of the anime.
  • And somehow, they will get ferried by the Spriggan, Van Arkride.
    • Jossed. Lavian goes on an excursion, touring Zemuria with Ivano and Tak in tow. Martin, Iseria and Talion resumes their lives as jaegers.

Talion plans on backstabbing Jayna.
  • Due to Jayna's utter indifference to Martin being captured, Talion has no reason to trust her. It's possible he only teamed up with her to kill Glark and that he intends on offing her next. Though given that the archaisms are still deployed, it's likely that he'll fail.
    • Confirmed, though he does work with Lavi to shut down the Archaisms and prevent Jayna from completely cursing North Ambria.

Talion got cursed by Ishmelga.
  • His sudden alliance with Jayna and his Slasher Smile in episode 11 seem out-of-character for him compared to his more reasonable behavior in previous episodes. It's possible Ishmelga wants him to help Jayna as a precaution in case Lavian and other jaegers catch on to her plans, ensuring as much conflict in North Ambria as possible.
    • Jossed. He only acted that way so that Jayna wouldn't suspect that he's working against her.

Jayna is an agent of Ishmelga.
  • In episode 12, she reveals her plan to curse North Ambria with two possible outcomes: either the future generation grows up to be possessed by evil spirits or demons from Gehenna spawn endlessly. In the Cold Steel games, Ishmelga's curse (with the use of Pleroma Grass), can cause evil spirits and demons to appear.
