WARNING: Due to the Trails Series being a Long Runner, this page assumes that you have at least played up to Trails of Cold Steel II. The page will be filled with unmarked spoilers from the previous games, so be careful of Late Arrival Spoilers ahead.The Principality of North Ambria is considered as the least developed country on the continent of Zemuria, due to the Salt Pale Incident that struck the nation in the year S. 1178. For its citizens to survive, many have joined a group that will do anything for money called the "Northern Jaegers", said to be the largest Jaeger Corps in the continent. The Northern Jaegers have done a lot of dirty deeds in their name to send money to its citizens back home to help with rebuilding the nation.One such deed was during the Empire of Erebonia's Civil War; on December 24, S. 1204, the market town of Celdic was burned to the ground by the Northern Jaegers under the orders of Duke Helmut Albarea of the Noble Alliance. When the Reformists ultimately won against the Noble Alliance, the government demanded accountability for what had happened at Celdic. While negotiations were happening between Erebonia and the North Ambria Parliament, the latter was seized by the Northern Jaegers on July 5, S. 1205, who claimed that they should not be held accountable for what had happened at Celdic.Not long before, the Northern Jaegers, spooked by reports of an unknown "Soldat" that single-handedly repelled Calvardian forces in Erebonian-occupied Crossbell, send Instructor Lavian Winslet, granddaughter of North Ambria's hero-turned-traitor Vlad, and her team to Erebonia to infiltrate the nation and collect information of Erebonia's national hero and his secret weapon before his presence threatens all of North Ambria and its inevitable war with The Empire.Animated by Tatsunoko Production as their 60th anniversary project, The Legend Of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War takes place between the events of Cold Steel II and Cold Steel III and depicts the events of the Northern War between Erebonia and North Ambria. The first episode aired on January 8, 2023 with Crunchyroll simulcasting the show.A mobile tie-in game was released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan in December 2023.The official website can be found here while the official trailers for the anime can be found here, here, and here.

Experienced Protagonist: Due to the Perspective Flip, Rean's experiences in the civil war now make him an extremely difficult and challenging opponent to the neighbouring countries, with Lavi's mission being to find out enough about him to potentially locate a weakness that would prevent him steamrolling through North Ambria should the Empire invade. Which it will.

comment
The Dreaded: Rean and Valimar in this anime end up becoming this in the eyes of Calvard and North Ambria, which is why the Northern Jaegers send Lavian and her team to collect intel on him. His almost single-handedly pushing back the republic's forces in Crossbell have lead to them being concerned that, if the Empire decides to expand and convert North Ambria as well, nothing the struggling country can scrape together would be capable of stopping him — and given the feats Rean has pulled off in Valimar up to that point, they're right.

Foregone Conclusion
 The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: Seeing as how the anime is an interquel between the events of Cold Steel II and Cold Steel III, and that the latter revealed the conclusion of the war near the beginning of the game, it's clear that North Ambria will become a part of the Erebonian Empire and Rean will lose his control of his Spirit Unification thanks to this war. As if to hammer the point home, Jayna is shown to be stockpiling archaisms given to her by Campanella; archaisms attacking civilians was what caused Rean to go berserk. Episode 7 has Elliot and Machias trying to convince Rean to let go of his Martyr Without a Cause tendencies. Unfortunately for them, Rean doesn't get to let go of these and in fact doubles down on it due to the events of the Northern War. Episode 9 shows Lavi attempting to get the archaism control device away from Rogan, disabling the archaisms. Given that these are the same archaisms that end up driving Rean berserk, it's obvious this won't work, or at the very least won't work for long. As such, Lavi ends up tripping an alarm and is forced to flee into the sewers, seemingly leading to her being shot by Talion.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Lavi's actions in episode one may have saved the day but she did disobey the order to take on the monster by herself, dragging Ivano and Tak to go after her. It ends with the three of them taking a pay cut for three months after they write an apology letter.

Bittersweet Ending: By the end, North Ambria ends up getting annexed by the Erebonia empire, leaving the Northern Jaegers goal All for Nothing and the scars of the war still persists within its citizens. However, most of the cast survives, Jayna is killed, ensuring she doesn't cause more chaos, and Lavia ends up becoming close to Rean.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: The anime does not pull any punches when it comes to spoilers from the past games. From the mention of the annexation of the state of Crossbell to the national hero of Erebonia, a first time viewer of the anime who has no prior knowledge of the games would just get lost. Even the steam tanks incident in Liberl is casually mentioned by the cast.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: As shown in the opening, Rean is supposed to be the red to Lavi's blue. But just like Rean's relationship with Crow, who is the red and blue between both Rean and Lavi can be very different. When Rean's trying to be friendly, he's clearly the red to Lavi's blue who could care less at first before she opens up to him a little bit. But when it comes to North Ambria, Lavi's certainly hotblooded to the point she wants to murder Rean, while Rean is more or less accepting to his role as the hero of the empire.

One-Hit Polykill: While piloting Valimar, Rean is shown to be capable of destroying three Calvardian gunships in one slash with his Zemurian tachi. And then there's what he pulls off at the end of episode 5 where he one shots the numerous monsters with just one swing. Not to mention what he does in episode 11 where he one shots a group of archaisms at a distance (implied to be Arc Slash even though he doesn't get access to said craft inside Valimar in Cold Steel II) and especially the final episode after he loses control and destroys every archaism in the vicinity. It's a miracle that he didn't inflict any civilian casualties pulling that off.

"Not So Different" Remark
 The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: In the final episode, Rean notes that he and Lavi aren't all that different as he notes that all he wanted to do was to protect his family and friends before he got called as a heronote Though he does omit the part where he's forced by Osborne to become the national hero., noting that Lavi's the same.

One-Man Army: Rean piloting Valimar is basically this on a battlefield, with his flight capabilities and strengthened combat experiences from fighting in the civil war against comparably skilled pilots and machines, particularly Crow, making him unmatched when facing off against the under-equipped tanks and airplanes neighbouring countries posses. The fact that the Empire is the only one capable of producing Soldats (disregarding Oroborous and their machinations) means the surrounding countries simply don't have anything capable of realistically defeating such a powerful machine with a skilled pilot behind it. And as shown in episode 11, he doesn't even have to touch the archaisms to disable them with one slash while sparing the citizens at the same time.

Dramatic Irony: In episode 4, the North Ambrian cast are trying to find out information about Rean and any intel about him. Talion narrates in a cable car on the way to Ymir while they pass by Bleublanc, Sharon, and Alisa, who clearly know who Rean is.

Continuity Cameo: In episode 4 on their way to Ymir from Ordis, Ash (Raquel), Bleublanc (Heimdallr), Sharon, and Alisa (Roer) show up without any speaking lines. Episode 7 has Elise, Alfin, and Musse hanging out at St. Astraia. And at the post-credits scene, Ines, Ennea, and Gilbert are shown at North Ambria though they are unvoiced. Episode 8 has the entire Liberl Team (barring Kevinnote Though to be fair, he only did show up after the Third Division retreated back to Parm with their steam tanks while Zechs tells Olivert that he's giving them three days before they march.) showing up while unnamed soldiers are discussing how Erebonia was able to annex both Jurai State and Crossbell, noting the "steam tanks" incident that happened in Liberl during Sky SC. Cassius and Mueller also make an appearance. Olivert even gets a speaking role where he talks with Osborne about the situation in North Ambria, claiming that the events are going All According to Plan for Osborne. Episode 11 has Lloyd and Rixia at Geofront E who decided to hack the servers again to confirm the newest plan of the Erebonian empire. Thankfully for them this time, Rean isn't there to bust the server as Rean is at North Ambria. Episode 12 has Kevin and Ries at Morges Bakery, Renne in her Jenis school uniform (with Estelle and Joshua watching alongside her) watching Iseria and two students do archery, and Roselia at Bryonia Island looking at Ark Rouge.

Pretext for War: As episode 6 shows, Erebonia has a very good reason for going to war against North Ambria with Claire and Rufus discussing it at Orchis Tower. That is that the Northern Jaegers, under the orders of Duke Albarea, burned down Celdic and killed Imperial citizens to make an example out of them. It's also revealed that Martin was one of the jaegers who did the deed. At the end of the episode, he's captured by the Intelligence Division while he allows Lavi, Iseria, and Talion to escape.

Call-Forward: In the finale, Lavi tells Rean that he'd make a good teacher. He becomes one in Cold Steel III. In the finale, a berserk Rean unleashes a reddish black Pillar of Light that parts the sky, revealing the moon. In Cold Steel IV, this is exactly how his father Osborne pulls off his Finishing Move "Dirge of Erebos", only in a purplish black that can be seen in space. In the finale's closing montage, we see Aurelia look at dossiers on the future members of New Class VII, paying special attention to Musse's. This implies that Aurelia already had plans to move Musse and Ash to Class VII right from the beginning.
