"Command Given, Command Received": The Cool Exchange Between a Stoic Captain and His Subordinate in Episode 21 of the Anime "Orb" Leaves Fans Awestruck

In episode 21 of the anime "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth" aired on February 15, Schmitt (CV: Satoshi Hino) and his team find themselves in a pinch as their hideout is exposed. When Schmitt decides to let Duraka (CV: Miyuri Shimabukuro) escape alone, his subordinate Lewandowski (CV: Fuminori Komatsu) promptly complies, and online reactions were abuzz with comments like "Another legendary episode" and "Those older guys are just too cool..."

In episode 21 titled "The Times Are Changing," Schmitt and his team finally complete the book "On the Movement of the Earth" using movable type printing. However, due to the betrayal of their comrade Frei (CV: Yuya Uchida), Nowak (CV: Kenjiro Tsuda) discovers the location of their hideout...

As Nowak closes in on the hideout, Schmitt and his team decide to scatter and escape, hoping that the lucky survivors can regroup and start over. Then, Duraka proposes, "There's another option: we all work together to help me escape," suggesting a certain plan.

Amidst the tense discussions, Duraka says, "I know a good way out of such deadlocks. Let's ask God," and suggests they decide their actions based on a coin toss. The coin lands heads up, leading to the decision for "everyone to escape."
