A toast to democracy.

Bucock: Yang, could you tell me why you're late to the battle?

Yang: Someone told me to go to hell.

Yang: I couldn't find it first, but now I'm here.

When people talk about their favorite deaths in LotGH, I always see them bring up the deaths of Reuenthal and Yang. There will also be the ones that bring up Reinhard, Schenkopf, and Oberstein. It’s a real shame that no one seems to mention Bucock’s death, at least from the what I’ve seen. 

The guy sacrifices himself to preserve the future generation of democracy and even toasts to democracy right in the Kaiser’s face. He earns so much respect from Reinhard that he orders all of his subordinates to salute as they pass the wreckage of his ship. I’d give the guy a medal if I could, but at that point it wouldn’t really matter.

I just love the way he simply explains his worldview at the end. The man just wants the friendship based on mutual respect between equal parties that he connects to democracy, not the master-servant relationship that he connects to totalitarianism. I had never made those particular comparisons, but I really like them because they are very down-to-earth comparisons to me. 

Anyways, Bucock’s death was definitely my favorite in the series. I just wish others would appreciate it as much as I do. This awesome, eccentric, grumpy old man deserves more appreciation in general actually.
