## Adaptation Notes

* This chapter adapts the side-story *Triage Black Tag Daily Lifein* from volume 10 of the light novel, in a condensed plot.
Dinosauria

* Design
* Schematics
* Schematics - Flamethrower

The Dinosauria (重戦車型ディノザウリア,, *Dinozauria*?) is the Heavy Tank Type Legion unit. It greatly outclasses the other standard Legion types, such as the Ameise, Grauwolf, and Löwe. This unit was once used as the host of Shourei Nouzen, which was later destroyed by the Spearhead Squadron.

## Description

As one the heaviest class of the standard Legion types, the Dinosauria weighs 100 tons and is able to easily trample and crush its adversaries. It's large 155 mm cannon allows for superior fire power compared to the Löwe, and both its 75 mm coaxial cannon and the twin 12.7 mm machine guns allow it to pick off smaller, lightly armored targets such as the M1A4 Juggernaut. It is heavily armoured all around, it's said that its frontal armor is durable enough to even withstand a hit from its own main gun at point blank range, and even the top of the turret is impenetrable by the 57mm cannon on the Juggernaut. The only weak spot on the vehicle is the engine vent on the back end of the hull. The specific Dinosauria manned by the vestiges of Rei was able to use Liquid Micromachine "arms" to perform various tasks.

A rare flamethrower equipped variant of the Dinosauria is also produced by the Legion, this model replaces the 75mm coaxial cannon with a coaxial heavy flamethrower, the fuel tank for the flamethrower is mounted on the back end of the unit. One of the 12.7mm heavy machine guns has also been replaced with a weaker 7.63mm general purpose machine gun. A wide range anti-personnel sensor is also installed on the flamethrower Dinosauria. This choice armament is very unusual for the Legion, as it focuses on incinerating its targets slowly and painfully instead of performing quick and efficient kills. The unit is reportedly controlled by a former Eighty-Six who was consumed by his hatred towards the Republic.

## Trivia

* Considering the German theme for Legion units' names, *Dinosaurier*  might be the more accurate romanization of the katakana. Despite the precedent of silent corrections, such as Lazer Edge being corrected to Razor Edge, Yen Press and subsequent English translations have continued to use *Dinosauria*.
* In Volume 2, it's stated that the Dinosauria is capable of firing depleted uranium or tungsten sabots (the latter of which is described as an old type of ammunition) as well as HEAT rounds from its 155mm main gun. The widespread usage of depleted uranium rounds hinted that the Legion most likely has access to nuclear fission power plants, as depleted uranium is primarily a byproduct of the uranium enrichment process used to fuel fission reactors. Most probably some of their Admiral units rely on nuclear fission to generate power.
Eighty-Six

The **Eighty-Six** (エイティシックス,, *Eiti-shikkusu*?) are the **Colorata** (有色種コロラータ,, *Kororāta*?) from within the walls of the Republic of San Magnolia who were persecuted and exiled to the Eighty-Sixth Sector of the nation after the Giadian Empire declared war.

## Overview

Even after the devastating defeats which annihilated Republic Armed Forces in less than a month, The Republic government refused to accept that they were defeated by the inferior Giadian Empire. Moreover, leaders of the Republic weren't willing to sacrifice their lavish lifestyle and jeopardize the lives of the citizens which it truly cared about—the Alba. Using the Colorata as a scapegoat, the Republic sent the Colorata into concentration camps isolated in the nonexistent Eighty-Sixth Sector and forced the Colorata to fight for their country while renouncing their citizenship.

The Eighty-Six were stripped of their documentation, their names are not to be used in military reports and their deaths are not to be recorded. They are not even allowed to have graves. This is so that the Republic could hide its atrocities from the people within and without once the war was over. Despite this however, there exists military records filing the existence of the Eighty-Six, due to officers such as Vladilena Milizé frequently recording and seeking out the names of the Eighty-Six.

## Chronology

The Eighty-Six were exploited by the Republic starting from RY 358. They were forced into hard labor, human experimentation, conscription, and general cruelty. The Eighty-Six were sent to combat the Legion using simple suicide tactics, not even given the exoskeletons and equipment that armored infantry would receive in the Federal Republic of Giad or the Alliance of Wald. Once the Republic developed the M1A4 Juggernaut, the Eighty-Six were forced to pilot the Feldreß as Processors.

The Eighty-Six were rescued ten years later in RY 368 by the Federacy. By the time they were rescued, only ten thousand survived compared the millions of Colorata present in the Republic before the war. They were given the focus of the Federacy's support and granted citizenship, the orphans were even adopted by the former nobles of the Giadian aristocracy. The Eighty-Six which could not foresee a future of peace for themselves would volunteer as officers for the newly established Eighty-Sixth Strike Package. Most surviving Eighty-Six were either child Processors or adult mechanics who were spared from the fate which befell the rest of their generation.

## Guide

**Here We Go** (行くよ, *Iku yo*?) is the eleventh episode of the 86 -Eighty Six- anime adaptation, originally broadcasted on June 19, 2021.

## Synopsis

With pride in themselves and a vow to their fallen comrades, they will not stop until the end. Even if they run out of weapons and ammunition, even if Fido—who has been with them for so long—is wrecked and lost. And so, they reach their final resting place. Meanwhile, Lena, who was left behind in the Republic, finally landed on their land. At the Spearhead Squadron's base, not over the Para-RAID, she felt the faint presence of the remaining members...

## Plot

After a skirmish with the Legion, all but one of Spearhead's Juggernauts are disabled and Fido too crippled to move, forcing Spearhead to leave him behind along with the box of dog tags. In addition, most of their supplies were destroyed, leaving them with limited prospects of traveling any further. With no choice, Spearhead continue on to another abandoned Imperial town, where they spend the night in a school and briefly roleplay being students again. The next day, Shin takes the last remaining Juggernaut to intercept the Legion, intending to use himself as a decoy for the rest of Spearhead to escape. However, Shin's friends follow him into battle, and all of them are rendered unconscious while Shin hears the vengeful voice of Kiriya. Meanwhile, Lena arrives at Spearhead's base as the replacement Spearhead is transferred in. She explores the base and finds a note left behind by Spearhead expressing their final farewells to her, as well as a request to adopt the kitten they had been keeping as a pet. Inspired by Spearhead's words, Lena resolves to keep fighting and moving forward. Elsewhere, Shin dreams of being taken away by his big brother, Rei.

Handler

A **Handler** (指揮管制官ハンドラー,, *Handorа̄*?) is a position within the Republic Armed Forces tasked to oversee the Republic's drone squadrons and provide tactical support during combat. They are stationed within the former royal court of Palace Blancneige. To communicate with the Processors, Handlers use the Para-RAID device to synchronize with the hearing functions of the Processors.

### History

The position of Handler is presumed to have been in use since the development of the M1A4 Juggernaut and the Para-RAID. However, due to the widespread discrimination against the Eighty-Six and the use of military positions as temporary jobs for the unemployed of the Eighty-Five Sectors, many Handlers are ineffective commanders. Some go as far as to deliberately mismanage their squadrons, often leading to unnecessary casualties. Capable commanders such as Major Vladilena Milizé are few within the ranks of the Handlers.

## Guide

**Shin** (シン, *Shin*?) is the eleventh episode of the second cour and the twenty-second overall episode of the 86 -Eighty Six- anime adaptation, originally broadcasted on March 12, 2022.

## Synopsis

Despite the loss of his friends, Shin reached the Morpho and continued a desperate offensive. Then suddenly, a cluster munitions support bombardment and Frederica's decisive action created a small opening. Shin lunged at the Morpho, passing through a barrage of wire slashes, and fired his final shot at the central processing unit in which Kiriya was being held. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, however, he heard a voice in his ear.

## Plot

Shin is blown clear of the blast and falls unconscious, where he has a vivid nightmare where he tries to grapple with his loss of purpose and survivor's guilt. When he regains consciousness, he sees a Legion unit approaching him with the intent to harvest his brain, but he is saved when Lena intervenes. Unaware that she is speaking with Shin, Lena asks Shin what he is doing in Republic territory. Shin decides not to divulge his identity to Lena despite recognizing her. He then asks Lena what motivates her to stay in the Republic and continue fighting, and she explains that her experiences with Spearhead inspired her, and she wants to survive so she can catch up to Shin and the others. Before Shin can exit his Reginleif and meet her properly, Federacy reinforcements finally arrive, revealing that Shin's friends and Frederica managed to survive. Lena is escorted back to the Republic, with Ernst stating that the Federacy and its allies will organize a rescue mission to help any survivors. Frederica points out that upon meeting Lena again, Shin has now found a reason to keep on living. Later, at a debriefing, Grethe embarrasses Shin by replaying his emotional conversation with Lena, which was recorded. Shin's friends are glad both he and Lena have survived, and express a newfound respect for Lena knowing that she hasn't given up.

Vargus

The **Vargus** (戦闘属領兵ヴァルグス,, *Varugusu*?) were the former warrior-class slaves of the Giadian Empire stationed in the combat zones on the Empire's old borders. They were given the moniker of *Beastmen*, as they were similar to the people of old that were driven out of villages and treated as wolves. The Vargus bear that moniker with pride. Brent Bernholdt, one of the Vargus, describes the Vargus as disloyal outcasts abandoned on the outskirts of the Empire. As they had been used to wage war for centuries, the Vargus are heavily steeped in warrior culture. One of the races considered to be part of the Vargus are the Eisen (黒鉄種アイゼン, *Aizen*?).

The Vargus were generally left alone by the former Empire, save for wartime where they were recruited en masse. As they did not hold citizenship, they were exempt from taxation and were not used as serfs for production. They were even given special provisions by the Empire regardless of peace or wartime to keep them obedient. The Vargus didn't necessarily dislike this agreement, as although they were treated as outcasts by the regular citizens and the government, they could continue to live according to their own culture. The Vargus believe that a peaceful death is shameful, and conversely wish to fight until they meet their demise.

Due to the stigma of the Vargus being ferocious beasts, they were not given citizenship by the newly established Federal Republic of Giad, although they did retain their right to residency. They are not allowed to enter officer academies, as such they would only be allowed to be promoted up to the highest noncommissioned officer rank: Master Sergeant. It is unknown whether they are allowed to be given a warrant and be promoted to Warrant Officer. Vargus combatants are seen as mercenary forces by the Federacy's military.

The Vargus are generally the only Giadian combatants capable of fighting effectively with the Eighty-Six. Both groups are unorthodox forces within the Federacy's employ, sharing similarities in their lack of formality, as well as the ability to charge straight into suicidal missions without complaint.

気持ち悪いこと治してからでいい

世界を両目で見ること

頭がおかしくなってしまいそうだ！

両手を右に傾けた。

アルケミラ、アルケミラ、と唱える

絶え絶えなぼくのむねを整える

そして眠りにつくんだ

おやすみ世界　おやすみ世界

また明日。

眠ることは難しくないと君のことを考える

静かな爆撃が耳元をつんざいた

気持ち悪いこと治してからでいい

世界の平和を見ること

頭がおかしくなってしまいそうだ！

両手を左に傾けた。

アルケミラ、アルケミラ、と唱える

絶え絶えなぼくのむねを整える

そして眠りにつくんだ

おやすみ異世界　おやすみ異世界

さようなら

Just wait until you're cured of your creepiness

To see the world with both eyes

I think I'm going crazy

Leaning the hands to the right

Chanting Alchemilla, Alchemilla

I'm going to prepare my limp body

And then go to sleep

Good night world good night world

See you tomorrow

I think about you when it's not hard to sleep

A quiet bombardment deafens me

Just wait until you're cured of your creepiness

To see peace in the world

I think I'm going crazy

Leaning the hands to the left

Chanting Alchemilla, Alchemilla

I'm going to prepare my limp body

And then go to sleep

Good night, other world good night, other world

Goodbye

**SLUMDOG PARADISE** is an insert song for the 86 -Eighty Six- TV-anime adaptation performed by Kohta Yamamoto & cumi. It was released with the Original Soundtrack on July 7, 2021.

## Lyrics

We've made quite the cozy

place we can settle down

What say you my homie?

Up for another round?

Decency is all that we need and deserve

The stars look so bright

when they turn the power down

Looks like paradise but it's just a slumdog town

We believe in our decency

A future we deserve

Thinking twice

Easy life

It ain't for us, ya know?

Don't give up

Only we are strong enough

We can go

Doesn't really matter who wins anymore

Cos people dunno that we live our life outside the wall

But then you came to me

and you spoke to me

and I heard

It doesn't really matter who wins anymore

Cos people dunno that we live our life outside the wall

But then you came to me

and you spoke to me

and I heard

Following her rescue, Aina volunteered to join the newly established Eighty-Sixth Strike Package and attended the Special Officers Academy for the next six months.

## Chronology

### Volume 4: Under Pressure

**Front Toward Enemy**

As the Deputy of the Phalanx Squadron, Aina was present during Colonel Vladilena Milizé's briefing on the Recapture Operation of Charité. Instead of joining the Operation, Aina and her Squadron were assigned to escort Major Henrietta von Penrose for another task.

Once the Spearhead Squadron secured the first floor of Charité's underground central terminal, Aina deployed with the Phalanx Squadron and began her escort of Major Penrose to some nearby ruins. Creating a defensive perimeter upon arrival. While on guard, Aina would share her opinion on the operation's state and the voices of the Legion she could hear over the resonance.

Soon after, her Squadron came under attack by a group of Dragoon Type Legion, and her leader, Taiga, ordered her to retrieve the Major. Before she could retrieve Major Penrose, her unit—Estoc's—cockpit was split in half from the flank by an unknown assailant, killing her instantly. Aina became the first casualty of the Phalanx Squadron.

## Relationships

### Taiga Asuha

Episode 15

## Guide

**Welcome Back** (おかえりなさい,, *Okaerinasai*?) is the fourth episode of the second cour and the fifteenth overall episode of the 86 -Eighty Six- anime adaptation, originally broadcasted on October 23, 2021.

## Synopsis

After graduating from the special academy, Shin and his friends were forced to rescue different units every day because of their excellent fighting power. After a long absence, they are told by Grethe that a large-scale offensive of Legion is expected soon. Shin, who was already aware of the movement of Legion, informed them that the number of troops far exceeded the expectations of Grethe and others.

## Plot

With Federacy analysts predicting a massive Legion offensive, the Federacy military decides to reorganize its forces in order to prepare for the attack. Grethe takes the opportunity to reunite Shin and Nordlicht Squadron, who had been previously split up to assist other units. Grethe briefs Nordlicht about the coming Legion attack, as well as the discovery of several surviving countries, but they still haven't gotten any response from the Republic. Shin submits his comments about the Reginleif's performance as well his own warning of the Legion attack, though Grethe is skeptical about the number of Legion he is describing. Frederica visits Shin and tells him more about Kiriya, who was part of the Nouzen clan and is Shin's distant relative. She reveals that after the Empire declared war on its neighbors, the people rebelled against the royal family. Since the Legions were not designed to combat domestic rebellion, the royal family was forced to rely on their personal guard, and Kiriya eventually went insane trying to fight off the rebel army. Eventually, Ernst was able to capture Frederica and faked her death. Believing Frederica was dead, Kiriya allowed himself to be taken by the Legion. Frederica then cautions Shin that he should seriously think about his future, which reminds him of Lena. Meanwhile, in the Republic, Lena continues preparing for the Legion attack, who are closing in to the Republic's borders.
