Episode 8 of 86 Eighty-Six Part 2, titled “Stay this way Forever,” is the latest installment of the anime series.
The highlight of this episode was Ernst’s willingness to put his ideals on top of everything else. He states how they shall not abandon their troops to save their own lives, and if they don’t comply, they’ll all die along with his ideals.
Even though this might be controversial, his speech gave us an impression that without the 86, the chances of the Republic’s survival are extremely low.
Frederica swoops in at the end of the episode as a positive influence on the team as she reminds them that they aren’t useless killing machines and how everyone awaits their return.
Episode 9 Speculation
In the last episode, we saw how Shin and his team had left the battlefield to chase Kiriya. As they rest, they discover that Frederica has been with them the whole time. She hid inside Fido and snuck in to ensure that the 86 returned safely.
Shin gives her his pistol and asks her to use it on herself in case they all get killed, and she has no other option to escape. Frederica tries to be positive and says the gun was too heavy for a frail girl like her.
We’ll see how Shin and the others track down Kiriya and destroy the Morpho in the next episode.

Episode 8 Recap
The episode opens with Nachzehrer losing its signal as all troops are airdropped. The headquarters receive a message from Shin that they’ve encountered the enemy who has built a defensive perimeter.
The Nordlicht engages in combat with the Morpho’s defenders. They finally come face to face with the Morpho, which looks like a giant centipede. Shin reports that they’ve spotted the Morpho, and it doesn’t seem to have finished repairs.
It suddenly lights up, and we find out that Kiriya is the one controlling the Morpho gun. The Nordlicht begin fighting and narrowly avoid Kiriya’s attacks. Shin sees an opening and decides to make a move.
He retreats but gets hit when Shin gets attacked by an unwilling Kurena. Kiriya is instructed to leave the enemy and withdraw from the combat zone. He agrees but tries to lure in his enemies
Shin and his team chase Kiriya as the rest of the Nordlicht aid them by blocking the new reinforcements sent by Legion.
The main Federacy army moves towards Grether’s location. They help the Nordlicht survivors to safety but cannot support Shin and the rest. On the other hand, Shin decides to rest for a while before continuing the pursuit.
They discover that Frederica is hiding inside Fido’s cargo. Everyone is unpleasantly surprised to see her there as they’re going on a dangerous mission.
They scold her saying that going with them might put her life at risk, and she retaliates by yelling at them that she is tired of their mindset. Frederica doesn’t want them to think of their lives as meaningless objects and expresses how everyone wants them to return alive and happy.
She further tells them that she’s a hostage to keep them from running from their duties and returning home alive. They agree to keep her safe and vow to take all their enemies down.
