| This was suspenful and intense. shit Is about to go down next episode. Yet life finds a way in every generation lol |
| Anime, stop killing everyone I cared! The moment the guy entered the barn I knew something will gonna happen 😨 |
| Wow, I thought Frei was suspicious but I never once thought he was the boy from the start of the arc. Draka putting her fate up to chance or god as she put it was a great moment. Not only did it show her mental flexibility and respect for everyone in the room, but it inspired Schmitt to finally acknowledge her. Jolenta's letter has to be for her father, right? I don't think he has enough power to help publish a book of this magnitude, but maybe Jolenta still has some connections to the astronomy group from her youth? Ahhh, this show. |
| Bastard... i knew there would be a traitor!!! That Frei is too suspicious! Ugh good thing the Captain didn't change his mind and stab Frei in the throat. 25 minutes is too short for such tense moments AHHHH I swear now they will all die T____T except Draka and the Captain maybe? Oh God when I read Jolenta's name as the author of the book I got goosebumps... like, wow... this journey... from Rafal to Jolenta... year after year has passed with so many people died and this book could be published even because of Oczy's notes... honestly I desperately hope that in the ending the book did get published... or at least a few pages with Jolenta's name.... and Nowak saw it... that would be awesome.... |

| If you ever wondered when an anime transcends to masterpiece status, it's right now. This episode marks the culmination of everything the series has done right. Orb doesn't hold your hand or push you in a certain direction, no! Instead, it rawly and masterfully ensnares you into its immersive world. Pure class! |

| Convictions really come at a price and throughout this episode Draka was one who really paid with belongings, saving and change of plans. The printing animation was fascinating and with Dr Stone airing in the same season saying that it was on par or maybe better on that scientific in nothing to scoff about. Also, Frei's betrayal was something I had been expecting but what I didn't realize was that he was the unnamed boy with his father murdered. Finally, those dots are connected and onwards comes the plan for Draka to escape in order to find a way to publish that book. And that book is titled "On the movements of the Earth". Befitting, captivating, inspiring, but most of all, revolutionary. |

| Draka may not be Jolenta's daughter as I had thought, but after this episode, I consider Draka her spiritual daughter. Damn! Why does it have to have a traitor? |

| Frei reached where he did solely because he didn't work under anyone except his conviction, and that it became both his strength and limits which again proves Jolenta's prespective here, it deserves praise. Eager to see the next episode. |

| I knew Frei seemed sus from the beginning, his betrayal and Schmidt's fight scene with him made me really like Schmidt's character now. Also it was so beautiful how Draka wanted to honor Jolenta's legacy putting her name as the book's author. Her lifelong wish of having a published work in her name is now finally complete!! I wonder if Nowak will see her name in there. Love how the book's title is the series subtitle! |

| Splendid episode, but i've expected such a thing as soon as Schmitt started talking about wavering and whatnot. Things never go as smoothly as planned in anime, or at least they rarely do. I really do hope at least Schmitt and Draka survives, rather than Draka alone, cuz i can't imagine her succeeding my herself, honestly. Furthermore, Schmitt is honestly too interesting to die this soon. Just like how i expected even more of badass Jolenta, only for her to literally die an episode later, so i don't know. 4 more episodes until this show concludes, excited to see what's there in store for us. |
| Schmidt is so cold. There was so much aura in that coinflip. |
| I have read 2 perfect chapters of manga; They are Usogui Chapter 203 and Onani Master Kurosawa Chapter 23. Slam Dunk Chapters 272 to 276 are a perfect stretch of manga. |
| Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13, NIV) The so-called heretics reflect the words of the Bible more than the Church itself. They sacrifice themselves as martyrs, entrusting themselves to someone they barely know. A truly powerful scene! |
  |
| Wow, this was unexpectedly good |
 |
| The writing is so fire man, God. Holy fuck, so the kid in the flashback was Frei and not Schmidt. I knew something was not adding up, cause why would that kid after what he experienced grow up to be someone like Schmidt, now it all makes sense. Though it wasn't surprising that Frei would betray them, he has been very sus from the start. The aura in that last scene man, 4 episodes left and I'm sure they will all be peak at this point. |
 |
| Nowak definitely needs to see the book! Ofc there was a mole. |
 |
| There was a traitor! Another episode where the future is decided in seconds and with luck on your side or your back! She must escape, but all the knights must die! kekeke |
| Weird I started feeling suspicious of Frei before he even revealed anything. I laughed as the sword was plunged into his throat never getting what he wanted in his back stabbing. That makes so much more sense that kid was him in the past. Interesting seeing Draka go against her original conviction for money and then Schmidt goes against his complacency in leaving everything up to God. |

| And an internal betrayal. So that kid was this guy. All their planning completely fell apart. So much for that. |
 |
| Draka though has come far. |
|
| HE FLIPPED THE COIN HIMSELF this is cinema omg |
 |
| In the heat of the night, Schmidt having to outrun the knights in a professional manner, and Asch almost gave the plot away, thanks to Draka with the last-minute cover-up recovery. And it's high time that she embraces Jolenta's conviction, but also some of her own as well. And bringing her to the rest of the Liberation Front members to see the printing press, whilst letting them know that Jolenta has sacrificed herself for this mission to expand horizons, there's no time to waste completing the book itself. It's finally time to put the book into succession, and with some of the letterheads broken, Schmidt kind of knew what went down, and Draka with the worthless coins being used for lead, provides a temporary solution for the letterpress. But the traitor within the midst being Frei, Schmidt has no feelings and only wants to see things towards the very end, for someone whose life conviction is the hatred of heretics, something which resonated with Frei all those years ago. But with no horses to escape, and the land they're in too easy to spot if they try to escape, there's only that one option available to them...or so they think, because Draka still has a plan to convince the knights to feign ignorance with the changing of the times. That, however, doesn't slide with Schmidt, because their chances of realizing the dream will be marginally low, and Draka deciding to play with God's fate, puts everyone in danger, though Schmidt soon overturns that decision and focuses on Draka's escape. Honestly, having Draka escape bears the highest chance the book still lives. |

| Printing press time o_o always the gamechanger back in these days It's all too fitting that the book they're going to make is the title of the show. The perfect way to encapsulate what this show has been from the start. And I want to see Nowak's face when he comes across that book. His face especially, given her struggle to make it anywhere in academia while she was alive. rip getting betrayed by your comrade tho.. that's tough. Put em in the tough position where they're losing something. But it's even crazier to think that she would leave her fate to God when she previously refused to rely on a coinflip. These guys (and ladies) have guts O_O frfr |
  |
| I was already suspecting Frei and now it's confirmed. And because of his actions everyone are in tight spot. Now Schmitt and dudes will die in the next episode, so Draka can survive. |
   |
| I forgot that the backstory was 25 years ago and thought that the boy was Draka. I felt so stupid 😢 |
| Wow so Fry was that kid from the religious family that got killed in the flashback... and he betrayed them (he got killed by Schmitt though), I still feel bad for him because of his background tbh... Anyway now they have to escape, how ironic it is to do a heads or tails to ask god and then change the result, so Schmitt and his men will sacrifice for Draka to survive with the book... |
 |
| "I'm giving you time. Time to understand your own shallowness. Time to experience despair. And finally, time to repent" amazing episode!! I love Schmitt so much :( |
| Captain's aura is unmatched. I thought he was the kid that ran from the abandoned village, but turns out its Frei. I hope the book will be successfully published |
 |
| Damn the conviction of all these characters are so strong, it's what kept them going! |

| Oh wow, Frei was that child in that flashback. No wonder he acting sus many times, i just have a feeling about it. |
 |
| Schmidt is a real mustache-twirling G. Funnily, I subscribe to Draka's method of breaking a deadlock via coin flip. It gives me clarity if it turns out I disagree with the result lol |
