Ahhh! I figured since episode 100 is "Long Live the Empress!", so perhaps
Reinhard died and they hailed Hilda out of grief instead, guess not =)

Alright, though I would have preferred it better if Reinhard died early
while Yang died at the last episode (or not at all =)

You're right Sue, "kisaki" in kanji is
..........##...
..#...#######..
..######.......
..##...........
..##.........#.
..#############

..##.#......#..
..##.#########.
..##.##....##..
.##..##....##..

which alone means "empress" or "queen", the same as "kougou"
.....##...................##...

which is what they used in the title of episode 100. As to why the same
kanji is pronounced "kisaki" alone but "gou" when combined with "kou",
I think it's the oddity of Japanese kanji =)
Again, thanks for the juicy details, keep them coming =)
