I guess it shows that they are related, this and the love for smoking. And that he is a legitimate heir more than the other prince. From what I got, apple cake used to be Nino's favorite thing. Now it's chocolate, as stated in a previous episode. I guess it's supposed to be a metaphor for Jean being presented with all the things his sole existence took away from Nino. |
| Best episode of the series. Now it makes sense why Nino's been watching him for so long. |
| When Jean said that Niino comforted him after his parents' deaths, Jean looked like he was sad because he must've realized that at that time, Niino had also lost his father...and no one was there to comfort him. Definitely my favorite episode so far, the flashback was well done and contained a lot of different emotions, the peaceful days of Niino and his father, as well as Niino befriending Jean, being the best parts. |
 |
| This show is so good. Can't believe so many people have ranked it so low. Really should not be able to rank shows until all episodes have been released |

He swear loyalty to Abend after all. oh i see, that make sense thanks ^^ |
| Touching episode. So much love, hope, and heartbreak. The storytelling in this show is just wonderful. |
| Very good episode this week, I like Nino more and more, very interesting character design |
| I imagine what it meant to Jean at the end of the story: he felt guilty and sad about what he had to endure Nino, on the occasion of the train accident. Really exhaustive narration and thoroughly explained the background on an issue so far not well limited by the plot. Now that we know the cards they have in hand, in this round of poker, we could risk something on upcoming opponents' moves. At the end of the winter season, this anime series, will be counted among my favorites. 114 said: I believe Grossular is not Abend, because if you guys remember, there's a district (Rokkusu district) where most of the people in that district resembles Grossular. And I think Abend was also from there, like Grossular. It may be nonsense mine: is whether Abend, was the character of Spade? |

| This episode was beautiful, both in it's execution and also in the visual elements. The backstory of Princess Schnee and her decision to give up her claim to the throne for both her father's sake and for her own self interests was very touching. The twist of Abend not becoming the Princess' lover and father of her children actually made sense in a way, considering just how many people would be able to recognize their combined resemblance of Jean and Lotte's features to their parents had that actually been the case. Despite my suspension of disbelief that Nino would actually be accepted as over a decade younger than he actually was when he joined Jean in High School, the process of watching him grow up and mature over the course of this episode was wonderful to behold. His relationship with his father was wonderful, and his father was also a great character in his own right. The bromance between Jean and Nino was touching, especially with all those special moments that they shared (Nino doing magic to impress Lotte has to be the best of the bunch). Their grief at the loss of their respective parents was palpable and very real, but their conversation after the flashbacks was even better. I'm not quite convinced that Grossular may be Abend (since given his high profile in ACCA, I find it hard that people would fail to recognize/suspect/investigate him if he really was), but I do wonder just what is in store for us after this reveal. Apart from the current prince becoming paranoid and trying to do in Jean and Lotte, hence forcing Jean to come clean about his true position, I just don't see any reason for any additional drama in the show, considering how Jean has already stated his lack of interest in the throne itself. |

| My most favorite episode yet. I really loved to see the whole flashback in light color pallet. Princess was really gorgeous and little Lotta was adorable <3 The father-son relationship b/w Nino and his dad was heartwarming :) The tragic accident was saddening tho :( It is commendable that Nino stick around that long for his job. Also, the montage and soundtrack was the best part of the episode <3 |
 |
| boy this sure was the best episode ever, the past from Otus, and the truth about Nino (Nino is the MVP of this series) changing my score ASAP from 7 to 8 and it might even get to 9, this Anime is getting better and better! can't wait for next episode! |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Great episode. This is a definitely a series where the patience required to get into it paid off. Can't wait to see more, since I'm not sure where it'll go from here. One thing's for sure, this was big for Jean's character; this is the first time we've really seen him shaken by anything. |
| Whoa, Jeans mother is a really pretty woman. And her daughter is a cutie pie. Nino could have had it worse than watching this little family for a living. |
 |
| that dedication from Nino just wow |
 |
| so i'm gonna guess about 20 year age gap? i still ship the two. so their is definitely going to be some friction going on, coup inbound. jean didn't smoke this episode i think (?). still waiting on confirmation on who be sending him them, and what made him start? |
  |
| Watching Jean in highschool for some reason reminded me a little bit of Tanaka-kun is Always Listless. |
~my list
| Man, I can't wait for the soundtrack to come out. I especially like the piano piece where Schnee thanks her father for letting her venture out into the real world. There's so many details in the opening and this episode shed light on a lot of them. Maybe Abend had a kid of his own or a relative, Grossular, and Abend passed on his role to him? The fact that they used different voice actors throws me off. Now that we know more of the past, it makes the times the King conversed with Lotta and Jean extra heartwarming. He's talking to his grandchildren. :) The scene where Nino spoke to his dad for the last time with the atmosphere all warm and bright thanks to the sunset to the sudden cut of a dark room with Nino's face lit only by the TV was an excellent execution of mood whiplash. I really liked how cheerful and enthusiastic Nino's dad was and dreaded the moment for his inevitable death. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay so after rewatching I was trying to figure out the character's ages. 33 years ago Jean: 10 years older than the stupid prince. Meets Nino in his first year in high school (14-15?). Lotta: A few years younger than the stupid prince. Looks around 5 or 6 when she meets Nino. At least 9 years younger than her older brother. Nino (What's his real name? Well, not important anymore.): At least 10 years older than Jean. Makes contact with him at age 25. Looks around 10 years old when he asks Abend to take him with his father. If everything that happened began 33 years ago, wouldn't Nino actually be in his 40's and not his 30's? |
| A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more. |

No. 33 years ago was the faked incident with the ship. Then after that it was probably years for Princess Schnee to find a guy she liked, mary him, and have kids with him. Especially that the faked ship accident happened not long after the Princess was 16 (at this age her portrait was made), so she probably didn't settle down with a family immediately. I bet Jean is max 30. |
| Probably the best episode so far, loved the storytelling. First of all, i must say that i find the princess pretty and very cute, it's kinda sad how they died and how Niino was "forced" to do, even though that he lost hist father. So Jean is supposedly the next king and Lotte is the princess, glad that they explained everything so well in this episode. And i thought that Groshular was a bad guy lol He is the "master" that was taking care of the princess, it was quite said that he had to let her go, because he was clearly in love with her. He is probably the one who is behind the revolution, now everything makes sense! This episode was amazing. I still feel kinda bad for Niino, he never had a "life", because his life was always to serve Jean without him knowing it. I hope after the revolution he will have a normal life. Can't wait for the revolution!!! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| This anime is a gloried baked goods advert jfc. |
| Love this episode because it gives the background to (mostly) everything. Child Lotta is adorable. Maybe Grossular is Abend? The Princess is really lucky, they let her go just like that, like wow. |
"I'm Irish. I think about death all the time."- Jack Nicholson  |
| Wow, the episode managed to deliver the perfect melancholic mood while keeping the usual chill atmosphere. |
 |
| This episode complete the truth of the Otus Family, past of Nino and the tragic events that happened to the father of Nino and parents of Jean! 5/5. |
 |
| The perfect episode. The right amount of emotion, both sad and upbeat, and the storytelling was well paced. |
| love this show and the dub is good. |
 Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. |
| And here I was lowkey hoping the princess would have a baby with Abend. She goes and marries a poor guy and gets knocked up by him :( I didn't know the age gap between Nino and Jean was that big. I thought they were in their thirties. Stupid Nino's father, forcing his son to be a high schooler lol but then again there are actors in theirs 20s and 30s who pretend to be high schoolers. The creator is confused. Is this Japan or not? Their school uniforms, bowing to acknowledge one another, this is like a whitewashed Japan. If you're going to pass this off as a foreign country at least try to include non-Japanese mannerisms and fashion. Nino is lowkey gay for Jean. Jean is lowkey gay. |
| 臭い- |
| Easily the show's best episode so far, hopefully ACCA continues on this trend to become the great show I had always hoped for going into the season. |
| Definitely didn't expect that... thought for sure the princess ended up with the guard (Abend) as cliche as that may sound. I'm happier things ended up this way however. Anyway, this episode was absolutely fantastic!! |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| Ahh yeee Groshular is probably Abend or related to him. Not sure but ye. If I was Jean I would probably go like is this guy into me or wut. taking my pics all the time. But yee that was a very nice episode. |
 |
| Whoa. That was the best episode yet and I already had a good opinion of this series. The princess's independence, the king's love for her and his setting her free, Nino leaving wih his father, Abend indirectly watching over her all these years, the new context of their deaths... all of it. It was all great. So many questions were answered. I think Jean was considering whether he should tell Lotta at the end. |

| Damn I really needed this episode, it help put everything in place for me and now I feel like I'm finally on top of the story as I've been abit lost at times. |
| Whoa so now everything more or less adds up! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Interesting episode, I do wonder what the next four episodes will offer though. |
 |
| We start off with 33 years ago. Schnee says some interesting things. So it was a keikaku. How old is Nino? She got knocked up. Nino is 25. I guessed that he was 10 years older than Jean. Grown ass man in high school. 21 Jump Street. Damn. Nino's dad. Awesome episode. Dat bread and apple cake. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Well, I got some parts right from what I thought last episode. This is a great episode though. I got the part where the king knew Jean is related to him. Got the part where the ship wreck was faked, the identity change, and how they were really killed in the accident. I basically only didn't think how the guard and Schnee didn't end up marrying and having Jean. Didn't realize they'd go seperate ways and Schnee would marry a commoner from the district. This episode makes me feel bad for both Jean and Nino. For Jean, he baiscally didn't know half of what was going on around him, how he's techincally royalty, and that Nino was basically watching him his whole life. For Nino, his dad definitely. Jean mentioned Nino cheered him up when his parents died, but Nino's dad also died there so he probably didn't mention that at all. People are mentioning how Abend could be Grossular. Definitely a possibility, they didnt show Abend's face at all so maybe they were trying to hide something about him. We might find out where Abend ended up later though. This series is freaking amazing. |
| Backstory episode Asian and their age, so deceiving Oh wait I'm an asian too xD Nino's entire life is dedicated for them Awwww, Nino is always protecting them both I guess Though you can say Nino is not really your "friend" from the very first :( So the King knew for the entire time Well now just have to find out why Abend or Grossular don't like Jean that much |

| I LOVED THIS EPISODE !!! About their ages, let's see Jean and Nino been friends for 15 years [known fact] and they met in high school. Nino is 25 when Jean started high school which is usually 14 years old so Nino is 11 years older than Jean. Lotta looked 3 when Jean was 14 so I'm guessing Jean is 11 years older than Lotta. (Nino)'s age fast forward to present is 25 + 15 = 40 - 11 = (Jean) 29 - 11 = (Lotta) 18 I'd say Lotta 18, Jean 29, Nino 40 |
