'' BUT ..' not but. I'm always right

​

I mentioned in my comment that my theory is this:

I have a theory. No one will agree with me because I have a very high IQ, but I think it's simply because Reinhard's fangirls (the ones who want to fuck him, not the fujoshis) tend to be femcels or at least that's what I've noticed from my own experience. That group also tends to be really passionate about their interests. Don't hate me, Reinhard fans. I'm your ALLY.

But what are your theories? What is it about Reinhard that makes his fans like this?

I called her his wife instead of HILDA not because I'm a misogynist but simply for spoilers issues

Basically what the title says.

Reinhard was a brat in those seasons, but he was an entertaining one. He was at his best when he was full of revolutionary ideas, ambition, and boundless energy.

I also love how different he and Yang are. Reinhard is an active protagonist who constantly drives the story forward, while Yang is a passive protagonist who mostly reacts to events. The contrast between them works really well and is one of my favorite aspects of the series.

However, by season 3, Reinhard slowly becomes more passive, and it gets even worse in season 4, especially since so many of his scenes are just him sitting around in his bathrobe.

From a writing perspective, it makes sense. Reinhard is the Kaiser now, so he has far more responsibilities and needs to stay somewhere safe. >!More importantly, he's sick, and a sick person simply doesn't have the same energy as a healthy one.!<

Still, I miss the larger-than-life personality he had before becoming Kaiser.

&#x200B;

>!Reinhard was drunk. Hilda was sober. More importantly, his intoxication seemed to lower his emotional defenses and bring out a much more vulnerable, childlike side of him. Hilda was fully aware of his state, yet she still chose to hook up with him in that moment.!<

>!Hilda had been interested in Reinhard for a long time. The attraction wasn't spontaneous. Earlier in the story, when Reinhard was devastated by Yang's death, Hilda was visibly disappointed that he didn't ask her to stay. To me, that suggests she had always wanted him and had been waiting for an opportunity to become closer to him.!<

>!Even small gestures feel deliberate in that scene. The hand-touching, for example, can be read as a calculated step toward intimacy rather than something that simply happened by accident.!<

>!That's why I've never viewed the scene as two equal people naturally falling into a romance. The emotional and psychological asymmetry is too obvious for me to ignore. Reinhard is grieving, isolated, emotionally dependent, and intoxicated, while Hilda is composed, self-aware, and actively pursuing a relationship with him. !<

>!Annerose was living a perfectly happy life with her parents until Reinhard was born and cursed the entire household. A few years later, their mother died. Sebastian became a depressed alcoholic, Annerose's world collapsed, and she was forced to help raise her little brother while managing the house. Then, just when things couldn't get any worse, the Kaiser noticed her and took her away at the age of fourteen.!<

>!Coincidence? I think not.!<

>!Kircheis is another victim of the Reinhard Curse. Without Reinhard, he probably would have lived a long, peaceful life surrounded by friends, family, and love. Instead, he attached himself to the future Kaiser and paid the ultimate price for it. As a result, his parents were left grieving, Annerose lost another loved one, and Reinhard's curse claimed yet another victim.!<

>!Then there's Hilda. Before Reinhard, she was energetic, ambitious, and full of life. After marrying him, she looks permanently exhausted. She smiles less, carries the weight of an empire on her shoulders, and spends half her time managing Reinhard's emotional crises. The curse strikes again.!<

>!Even Yang couldn't escape.!<

>!The man met Reinhard exactly once. Once. Yet somehow, after Annerose and Kircheis, he became one of the most important people in Reinhard's life. The moment the universe realized Reinhard wanted to see Yang again, it immediately intervened.!<

>!Yang was doomed the second Reinhard became emotionally attached to him.!<

>!At this point, Reinhard shouldn't be allowed within a five-kilometer radius of anyone he cares about. History has demonstrated that becoming important to Reinhard von Lohengramm is one of the most dangerous occupations in the galaxy!<.
