There's always that one character that everyone will hate, regardless of his belief. We found the Danzo (Naruto) of Orb. Fucking Frei man. HYPE FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!

Nothing can describe the intensity and emotions conveyed in this ep. Truly a masterpiece writing! That ending scene with Schmidt flipping the coin was so cool and epic. His fight scene was pretty intense and the animation's peak. The paper with Jolenta's name on was astounding.

The tension is suffocating (in a good way!). Every choice feels like it could be the last. The way they handle the concept of "faith" vs "evidence" is so nuanced. My heart rate is through the roof!

This episode highlights Draka change of attitude following Jolenta's sacrifice. The episode also revealed Frei as an undercover mole as he betray Schmidt to destroy the Heretic Liberation Front.

That was some plot twist. I didn't thought that flashback some episode ago was the catalyst of what was happening this episode. The latter half was especially intense and it seemed like a bloodbath is about to happen. The writting is great, especially how it portray urgency.

Jolenta’s death seems to have left a profound mark on Draka. She’s completely changed her attitude. The old her would never have sacrificed her money like that. This really moving me to damn tears man. What a story and the fact that something like this really happened is sad...😭

I'm not crying, but you are crying.😭 Jolenta's name finally going on a book??? THE DREAM CAME TRUE POSTHUMOUSLY! also, draka🥹 inherited jolenta's heart for real. from being a girl who believes money fixes trauma to giving up the coins for printing press letters.

FINALLY a win after all that suffering. But ngl it took SO long to get here that catharsis feels muted? You're happy but tired. Still seeing their work exist is satisfying and animation sells the moment. Just wish journey had fewer exhausting detours. 📚

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 21 of 25, 'The Times Are Changing' occupies a critical pre-climax position in the season. It follows the Liberation Front's departure preparations and Jolenta's entrusting of a letter to Draka, deepening the group's internal tensions as they push forward with printing their controversial heliocentric text. This episode directly sets the stage for the inquisitors closing in during 'Neither of You Will Be Known to History,' making it essential connective tissue before the season's final confrontations.
