| A lot of plottwists these past few episodes, everything is slowly coming together Honestly I didn't expect there to be a traitor at all and thought that it was just the adults thinking up this assasination plan..... |
 |
| >get nuked >ban guns aahahahahahhahahahahahahaahahah the left is fucking retarded. |
 |
| The fact that Charce was the traitor was too obvious, I would have been totally suprised if someone like Aries was the traitor. I am disappointed,most of the plot twist in this series have been very predictable so far. |

| I know its not the point of this episode, but I still can't get over the gun thing. Ah yes, we just had a war with nuclear weapons that wiped out half of the world's population. What's the first thing our New World Order should do? Ah I know- ban the individual possession of firearms! It sounds like either Ultra-Conservative Fear Mongering or Far-Left Ideological Propaganda, with literally zero in between. |
 |
| Another great episode, more information. |
| Charce is indeed the real assassin |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| I know Ulgar is innocent but Charce T----T I like him! I thought no one is an impostor.. they already got close together to think of killing. Sad :( |

| The direction of this show varies from dogshit to amazing, and this episode was the latter. TheDeedsOfMen said: Unfortunately, there is an asteroid-sized plothole here. They have a civilization with FTL capability and even wormhole technology, yet they apparently cannot divert a single asteroid. That seems implausible. Even if there are reasons why it can't be done, they never even touch the subject or explain why not. If they have wormhole technology, the ability to produce a large number of wormholes in operation and FTL on top of it, I see no reason why they couldn't be used to change the asteroid's trajectory. Even if the asteroid is 300 kilometers across, all it needs is a relatively gentle push over the years to avoid Earth. The planet is actually a pretty small target in space and in constant movement relative to other bodies, so the trajectory of the asteroid would barely have to change. Far more realistic than moving much of the world's resources to another planet. Suck up some of the asteroid's mass, ram it with large objects (at FTL speed?), or drop stockpiles of nukes and other explosives if you really can't do anything else. Might as well chip off rocks with wormholes and launch them right back at the asteroid itself from a suitable angle. They don't need to destroy the whole thing; it is enough to push it enough to divert its trajectory. Even if there are some technical reasons why wormholes and FTL can't trivially solve this, they make travel to the asteroid so much faster and more efficient that they can keep pushing or nuking the rock as soon as it's discovered and keep at it every day with huge resources. After all, they must have gigantic resources available if they were able to migrate to another planet. Also, if an asteroid is 300 kilometers across, it is one of the largest asteroids in the entire solar system. There are only about ten of them. If one of them was headed for Earth, people would know about it much sooner because they are such obvious targets for tracking. Eight years is an outrageously low timespan. I'd be more worried about the 10,000 asteroids with a diameter of about 10 km. How has an FTL civilization not properly tracked the largest asteroids that are well-known even today? (By the way, I knew about this beforehand because I have read the manga. That's why I thought this through.) It feels really jarring. An FTL civilization cornered by a single asteroid? Really? You are not the only one cursed with knowledge. Honestly knowledge can be a bane when enjoying fiction in general. Someone who doesn't know much about space, wormholes and asteroids can have so much awe, but we can see it's flaws. They should have used excuse like earth was a hot planet again due to sun getting closer or excessive global warming. It would have been more believable. |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| Wow, TBH! I THOUGHT KANATA WAS GONNA ACCUSES ARIES xD So, the kingdom and story about Seira was lie or not? We got a huge revelation here but it's still episode 10... what will happen next? |
 |
| I loved it when they intentionally fooled the audience with Ulgar, even if only for a mere few minutes. |
 |
| I knew it. After that one episode. I had some suspicions that he was the one responsible. I just had a feeling. |
| Well, I've been had. Fooled. Hoodwinked even. I really thought it was gonna be Aries actually. It sounds a bit ridiculous but I thought that it made sense, trying to befriend everyone so that they wouldn't suspect her could've been her plan. But Charce was the runner up. Kinda thought that he would be when Kanata told him and Zack but dismissed it. Still glad it wasn't Ulgar though. Now being the king's clone; that sure is something. Looking forward to finding out what Charce's actually backstory is. |
 |
| bahaha wow I was right about la croix. His backstory was just too goddamn stupid. We also never saw him interact with his "parents", iirc. And his face when Aries questioned him was too villainous Kanata's reasoning was far-fetched as hell but I've come to expect that kind of contrived writing from this show |
 |
| Goddamn, Something told me that Kanata's plan was gonna be big brain plays and Ulgar wasn't actually the target, but boy that man went *all out* on his plan. Everyone was in on it! |
 |
| The King of clones speaks out, see what he has to say at 11 |
  |
| Okay hold up. So everyone left Earth... And then the third world war immediately happened...? How does that work? Am I missing something or is that just a plot hole? The timeline they set up feels really wonky, but idk maybe it'll get cleared up? Because yeah this timeline doesn't work. Unless history repeated itself on both planets perfectly up until 1962, but even so that sounds really stupid lol The rest of the episode was Kanata finding the real murderer on the ship, now revealed to be the king of Vixia, Charce While I am glad it wasn't Ulgard, this is all starting to feel really stupid š Like seriously I feel like there are a lot of plot holes here. It just doesn't sit right |

| The author’s idea on what would result in a perfect utopia is hilariously bad, but I’m just gonna ignore that because I already knew that this show sucks ass at logical writing. The character writing is much better, though it still isn’t really all that impressive. Charce is the impostor! Knew it all along but the fake-out with Ulgar almost fooled me. |
| So the whole Earth/Astra thing is actually more serious than I thought. We clear SOME things up, but ultimately it boils down to it still being a mystery, them suspecting that the adults have not told them the full truth. On a more important note I believe, we discover the imposter among us. Firstly, I thought the reveal was going to be that there never was a killer to begin with. Or if there was, it was going to be someone's alter ego, probably Aries'. But no, we got one, thanks to Kanata's smart thinking. Aw man, we are at 2 episodes left and I was just starting to actually get invested in this show. |
