| Damn, now Joletta had to take torture but luckily escaped. She doesn't deserve that. I think this is another interesting character study of Novak and how he felt about the fate of his family. There's also perhaps more depth into the heliocentric theory and its secrets. Just interesting to see how everything is developing. |
 |
| With the loss of this dearest daughter. This could be a great turning point for Nowak. Well, actually, Jolenta is still alive but Nowak didn't know anything about the fact. The way Badeni hid his own research was very amazing. No one wouldn't think about it before. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Let's have faith in companion Grabowski! |
| They almost got me to cry like a baby! It moves me to think how those gloves remind me of the tiktok video about the father pondering his 40 year wind of wires. Then how 60 guys got tattoos on their heads just to be promised some bread in the future. The implications this show is hitting! |
| Man.... seeing the BOOKS. And, how far Badeni went with his research and to preserve it made me teary-eyed. The conviction he had for this even tho acted like he never cared. What a great man you were, Badeni. Absolute legend. It was beautiful. And, the cycle continues. Now, it's Grabowski's turn to find out the truth of the universe. Whereas, Nowak is mouring the death of his daughter which was staged by another guy. That poor kid was killed for no reason. RIP. Hope, Jolenta stays safe wherever she is for now. |
 |
| Even for how terrible Nowak is how many innocent people he tortured and killed it was never for his own will. He simply did what he was taught and belived. And for all that the same church just for petty power grab took away her daughter. He didn't deserved that. The backstory with smol Jolenta was so wholesome. Even as a terrible person he is great father who didn't brainwash her and let her live freely. It's really sad that same glove is not with Jolenta anymore but atleast even if he doesn't she is safe. I hope they meet someday. Thanks red haired unnamed young inquisitor for you brave sacrifice. The fact that he got burned like a criminal by people who are actually that shows how low humanity can go. But holy fk Badeni with such an ace up his sleeve. He used those beggers Oczy feeded just to keep some research left behind. Tattooing in the head for 60 people creating a BOOK, genius..🙌 Grabowski seems good and open atleast their efforts are not completely wasted. Usual cinema🙌 |
| Another great ep, although a bit too dark at the start Next week we will have a new op face... |
| That Badeni bastard! I quite like him. Too bad, he died. Jolenta's father, even though he is saddened by her supposed death, seems incorrigible. He will always go after heretics. |
| badeni what the fuck did you do to these poor beggars |
| Maybe the real orbs were the heads of the homeless we shaved along the way. But seriously, Badeni has officially one-upped Rafal for research preservation method of choice, and seeing Oczy's selflessness bearing fruit in the end was gratifying. Also, it's amazing how they managed to make the boogeyman of two generations' worth of MCs someone you can't help but feel sorry for. |
| Genuine 5/5 Obligitory Antoni is evil post. Smol Jolenta blaming god is exactly what a child would say and shouldn't go unnoticed. Jolenta voicing the transition card especially after all that flashbacks and Nowak breaking down... just makes this hit just a little bit closer to home. I was wondering for the longest time how count piast book would play into this. No one was expecting Oczy book to be preserved in such a way. |
| Homeless: That yellow bastard do something to our head Me: thinking he had a fetish and lit a candle on their head after the reveal Also Me: Close enough LOL Seriously who would've think of such move, that was really brilliant from badeni. Also i still dont understand novak, i though he knows when someone is lying, is that a lie? well whatever it is i can confidently say he would definitely switch side, and im relieved that we finally got a strong ally. |
 |
| Jolenta's fate legit broke me, her death was probably so graphic they didn't even gave us a speck of it, i really hope that atleast she didn't burn alive.... these religious authority using holy text as munition is probably the most horrific thing you can ever do, truly despicable, scared of theories really shows how unstable the whole thing is. Anyhow didn't expect the priest to be the successor, hope he has a better fate than our main characters from before but i sadly doubt it (also Badeni's a mad genius with that tatoo thing) |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| another great ep it was almost too short for me so they are so supposed to be good human but they can burn somebody without any hesitation... |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| While I found the backup plan of Badeni ludicrous, it somehow makes sense: You can easily burn books, but with people you encounter resistance and the possibility to sin by wrongfully accusing someone. The folk will ask questions, when like 50 beggars burn for heresy. Also, the best thing is even if they are tortured they don't even know, what their contents are, since they can't read. |

| Holy fucking shit what an episode. Last week I wrote about the brown haired new recruit being the first true Christian/Catholic we’d seen from the church and a couple of people jumped down my throat saying “we don’t know if he’s really a good guy or if he just didn’t like the particular way the inquisitors were doing things” well, now we do. Dying in place of someone who was gonna be killed just so the priest could get a promotion is as Christian as it gets. RIP So Nowak IS human after all. Never would’ve imagined we’d see him cry and breakdown like that. You almost feel bad for him after all the pain he’s inflicted on others and families he’s ruined over the years. The flashback sequence to him getting angry at Jolenta for criticising God and then regretting it was rough. In just that one scene we see he’s always struggled with balancing his work and home lives. Probably feels a lot of regret about not spending more time with Jolenta and talking to her now. But wonder if she’ll ever show back up , really loved her character. Glad she’s alive tho! The fucking irony of Buddy offering his condolences and acting like he did Nowak a favor when he killed an innocent inquisitor and lied about his daughter to get a promotion 😭 that dude is going straight to hell. Such an annoying character THE TWIST AT THE END. Using humans as living books is fucking brilliant by Badeni. The medium for storytelling doesn’t matter, as long as you keep the story going wow. Those tattoos had to have been painful though. Grakowski continuing the legacy would be the perfect way for him to make up for accidentally snitching on Badeni lmao |

| Nowak is such a well built Antagonist, I almost felt sad for him, but he did get a taste of his own medicine. "I SHAVED 60 BEGGARS HEADS TO MAKE A BOOK " - I can see the Youtube views rolling in. But in all seriousness, is it complete luck that this system would work at all. What the hell was Badeni Smoking? To painfully tattoo 60 peoples heads, who are highly likely to die of diseases, that roam around, that will not mention it to anyone else and find the right person specifically 1 month after not receiving bread. |
 |
| a new great surprise, used the heads how pages!!! kekeke |
| Wow... why was them shaving their heads and saying "we are pages of a book" in front of Grabowski so EPIC? And we've never seen Nowak so conflicted before... but honestly fuck him. Jolenta deserves better and Nowak can cry his eyes out all he wants, seeing how he chose faith over his own child. To think there are still people that to this day would so blindfully follow a doctrine of no factual basis... ugh. |

| >Jolenta's fate legit broke me, her death was probably so graphic they didn't even gave us a speck of it >Justice for Jolenta. She didn't even have a single dialogue before passed away >Losing Badeni, Oczy, and Jolenta all in one episode did some of you watch the episode? antoni staged her death by killing and burning the kid who helped her escape. |
| Another perfect episode as usual. We kinda see now that the big antagonist is Antoni after all. Nowak is still an amazing antagonist, now that we see his flashback with Jolenta (who isn't dead btw, i feel like people missed the point of Antoni's plan) I almost felt sorry for him. Now, how amazing is Badeni's character development, it keeps going even after his death now that we see that he started to care for the beggars (even if it's kinda because of his plan). Speaking of his plan, that was not only a GENIUS move but so beautiful to see their legacy and knowledge alive |

| The method of research preservation was over-the-top and insane but quite fitting for Badeni, his development really shined through to see his influence on this episode in the end. And although Jolenta escaped, Novak's cold-blooded nature throughout the show couldn't handle the 'loss' of his daughter and showed humanity on the inside, he's caused pain and grief for many people and families in his role as an inquisitor but now that his daughter is no longer there by his side, that pain still showed through. The theme of turns continues to pass through as it was Rafal's previously, then Badeni/Oczy's and now Grabowski's potentially to discover the 'truth', I love that the main character in the entire series is a theme and the series commits to it strongly still, which I like. |

To painfully tattoo 60 peoples heads, who are highly likely to die of diseases, that roam around, that will not mention it to anyone else and find the right person specifically 1 month after not receiving bread. To be fair there is a possibility he didn't tattoo the beggers, but instead stamped the contents of the books to their heads. Similar to a printing press in the 16th century. |

| Nowak was a ruthless and relentless inquisitor; some might think he deserved to suffer for "losing" Jolenta. However, in this case, I don't think so. It was all due to the machination of the guy who hates Nowak. If it were any other situation, I would accept it and think she should suffer for all her "work", but this is different. The guy who helped her escape to Jolenta is a true hero, and he certainly didn't deserve what happened to him: he was used to hurt Nowak. Badami was certainly crazy to use that method to preserve the research. But this is thanks to Oczy, in a way, because without him, Badami would not have left his texts. Even Badami, who once believed that only the elect deserved education, posthumously asked Grabowski to teach beggars, or rather, "books." My guess is that Grabowski will not be the next to continue research on heliocentrism, and that Jolenta will take over, possibly with Nowak's help to get even. |
 |
| Badeni is really an amazing person and gives me goosebumps about his greatness even without him. |
| as cool as it was, I'm not buying the twist at the end. Just minutes ago the beggars talked about how they don't really trust Badeni, but then decided to do so because they liked Oczy. And now we're to believe that these beggars let Badeni shave and tattoo their heads? Eh. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
|
| The nice Inquisitor kid getting himself beaten the 2nd time after letting go of a heretic once, this crime of his will not be tolerated, as it could affect humanity at the largest. And to label Nowak's daughter as a heretic, while using their own fellow kin's body as a burning stake to show that nothing could be done, the loss of Jolenta hit him pretty hard, for what was a heinous staged attempt by the Church to break him down even further. Nowak may be a harsh Inquisitor, but his love for Jolenta is unparalleled being a young up-and-coming scholar, only to see that with her life being gone (which isn't true), the man is now a wallow in and of himself. With Badeni executed, Father Grabowski is left to answer for what he's done because of his anonymous tip to the Church, and to think that his disciple would leave notes of Lucretia's poem and a request to let beggars come in and teach them, it's still blasphemous in nature to have these teachings be spread all over. At the same time, the beggars convinced by Badeni to visit Grabowski on the pretense of being able to have food, one of them did visit him...to reveal a group of them who has "books" tattooed to their heads, 60 in total. Grabowski, it's your turn to continue Badeni's legacy to change the world, like it or not. |
