Orbo is made....from people?

I had a strange suspicion it was true. Creepy as all hell.
No wonder Solomon doesn't approve.

I had the hunch when we learned the witches don't die, but instead go to the factory.
The same factory that produces Orbo, which confused Robin in the first episode.

Still ~I hope their friend is ok~

Aw nice conversation between Robin and Juliano, I guess he's accepted that she's not like the other witches, and she's the same as always. I mean she even invited Amon to shoot her a few episodes ago, and she said herself that she would rather kill herself than be someone's original sin (or something like that).

But oh my, that factory. That's kind of disgusting, considering the hunters used Orbo too. I can see why it has negative effects on normal humans and not seeds/craft-users. Hopefully Miho is okay...

Well the fact the witches are in those tubes doesn't really come as any surprised however shouldn't Karasuma still be alive then? Or were they altered in some horrendous way in those tubes? Didn't actually see what they looked like, just the feet.

Yeah, I mean didn't everyone expect that already? The characters sounded surprised, but what, they thought that captured witches were given some fair humane treatment at the factory?

And didn't Robin said in first episodes that she won't be using Orbo because it's disgusting? So didn't she know already?

Well, that was weak.

So Robin is a clone of Maria.
As expected, they are using the witches to create orbo, gross and cruel.

That eyecheck was surely creepy

And didn't Robin said in first episodes that she won't be using Orbo because it's disgusting? So didn't she know already?

Maybe she sensed something wrong but not anything specific. Or just disliked her powers being limited.

The orbo thing is expected, gross and all, but it's not like other Solomon branches are that much better, after all they just kill Witches instead. So no good guys here.

It's just like Exspheres from Tales of Symphonia. Though, is the overall goal just to hunt witches? They hunt witches to make Orbo to hunt more witches? It seems rather roundabout.

So far it doesn't seem like any major revelation has had anything to do with anything else. Things just seem to happen and then more things just happen and nothing seems to be connected. I kind of doubt they'll be able to rectify that within one episode either. I wish this had been a tighter knitted story.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

So Robin is Maria's clone and Maria is Juliano's daughter, That scientist Touko wasn't a good guy after-all,
The big secret in the factory is that they use witches to produce orbo, now's everything is revealed all is to take down Zaizen,
I hope they have a good ending.

Not a surprising reveal, but it's bound to be disheartening for their STN-J branch, who specifically went out of their way to capture witches in a relatively humane way.
