Belle, on the road to becoming a nomad, goes on her own journey, but seeking King Rawhide for permission to enable that role with a grand piano they call Moonwork, the Keyboard Vessel that would form Now Here: the form of her heart and mind, wherever she will go. However, the tune within her heart doesn't translate to the piano, with it giving her a heavy non-sounding thud, it seems that Park City will forever be her resting place if she doesn't make it out of her homeland of Runding, thereby giving her freedom through exile.

On the other hand, Adonis is still pretty much the sword-killing solist who has his fate already decided, and his draw to Belle is of inkling. But him going over to Rawhide with the questions all about the Ashes of the Tried, all he got is the same god-destined fate as the Prince Fatal examiner, that not even the Keyboard Vessel would grant him parole to leave Park City. His only help now lies in the hands of Belle, but forcing himself on her to rot his way through only pushes her away from him,,,to nowhere.

I have a feeling that this story is not over yet, we're only at the halfway point of the series (even with next week's Ep 10 finale).

Oof, the "no one else would", what a charmer. Perhaps he qualifies as something that can be cut, despite of her curse, now...

One more episode of this to go. Been wanting to downgrade to 5/10 so badly from 6/10, but while being all over the place with all this... poetry?... and music themes and... being unique enough.

I'm like... 80% with Adonis, but I do think he needs to chill out and be less rapey. WHEN DID HER BATH BUDDY TURN BACK INTO A BUNNY?! WHAT DID BATH BUDDY DO TO ADONIS THERE!?!
Regardless, "God" and that 2-guy guy are confusing, like, they constantly come off as evil but... I'm just too lost. Is Adonis gone?! :c
I hope Belle keeps her promise to become Nomad by force.
3/5

In my opinion, this was the weakest episode of all, it didn't look like a penultimate episode of an anime, it didn't give any typer of tension or a need of hurry to finish something in the next episode

21:33 "Nowhere". Her sword, "Erewhon", is the title of a book by Samuel Butler, written back in the days of subtle social satire like Swift's "Gulliver's Travels". Erewhon is also an anagram for "now here". Sorry if somewhere back in the comments someone has already mentioned this.

I guess they wanted to another roadblock in Belle's path before she can get freedom to leave the city.
Adonis is kinda broken at this point, no surprise considering what he's been through recently and during this episode.
Thank goodness he didn't kill Belle.
Now to wait and see if they can still have some kind of friendship.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

I can't tell if this was good or not...everything is presented in such a cryptic manner it sounds like the author is huffing their own farts. I feel for adonis though.

@kuxip i'm sorry to tell you this, but they did not explain that. this anime doesn't really explain a lot. everything i understand about it is from context clues and guessing, lol.

a lot happened and a lot of nothing happened in this episode. belle wasn't able to claim the title of nomad and it seemed like she was offered a home there in the castle. adonis' fate is basically sealed, i guess, and he's fated to become one with the tree god. i do wonder if it's supposed to be some sort of metaphor for like the circle of life and all that. but also i decide that i'm probably overthinking it too. anyway, can't wait for the inevitable deus ex machina they keep mentioning. will it be kitty the all with his little pocket watch? will it be belle with her sword that someone pointed out is an anagram for 'nowhere' or 'now here'?

anyway this episode wasn't great. kitty the all wasn't in it at all.

@davidyodo24 It's actually not that hard to keep it simple for the God controls everything and has roles for them if they choose to not accept those roles...well there is major negatives they have to take.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

So they've been using the ash to make solist go evil and then use them create more ash? Also the dead solist are the ones in the blue clothes in the chember?

Belle failed to open the door and so did Adonis later. What did he mean the gate two small for two? Also Adonis really lost it there after learning the truth about the ash, sword and what happens to them after death. He definitely doesn't want to be there with the king as part of the tree and freaked out too much. I did still dislike how he forced himself on Belle but Belle could have definitely pushed him away with her brute strength but decided not to. Why did he got scared by watching the bunnyboy though. Is bunnyboy gonna reveal to Belle his human form this time?

Also so many people being confused makes me question are they even watching the episode.

I was expecting them to do it at some point but rape fuck no. Well at least it's only attempted but still that doesn't make it better. We also got the bunny boy again.

Still I only have questions for this series and I don't think I care enough about this series to keep going and just get more questions.

@MegamiRem if Belle would have offered it before herself this could have helped him find hes way, sometime sex can do wonders with broken ppl, i have have heard stories where bitty fuk leads to real thing and getting over problem the broken1 had

but new by the looks of the end of next EP it makes me think that new Bell has to fight him, he becomes the enemy sins new he helt evil in to hes heart

Cool piano scene. Not

Wtf is this crap. I don't even feel like watching the final episode. This is awful

It was genuinely good early on. But then it just got dumber and more convoluted. Show thinks it's clever-er than everyone else, except it's not. And that's its downfall
