Nowak in Despair! Episode 22 of Anime "Orb" Unveils a Plot Twist That Overturns the Entire Story: "Too Heavy," "Can Such Sadness Exist?" Shocking Viewers

In episode 22 of the anime "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth," which aired on February 22, Duraka (CV: Miyuri Shimabukuro), entrusted with spreading the heliocentric theory, visits Bishop Antoni (CV: Satoshi Mikami). However, Nowak (CV: Kenjiro Tsuda), who seeks to suppress the heliocentric theory, barges in, revealing a shocking truth that left viewers stunned with reactions like "Whoa!" and "A major plot twist..."

In episode 22, titled "You Are Not Characters in History," the battle between the Heretic Liberation Front and the knights led by Nowak begins. Duraka, narrowly escaping to the city, visits Bishop Antoni, expressing a desire to publish a book about the Earth's movement, saying, "I believe the time will come when books will sell."

When Duraka further asks, "Have you ever heard of a historical precedent where the heliocentric theory was suppressed? Is this theory truly heretical?" Antoni begins to ponder, saying, "I indeed haven't heard of any suppression elsewhere..."

However, Nowak bursts in, informing Antoni that Duraka is a heretic and instructing him to distance himself. Antoni then questions, "What do you think is the problem with the heliocentric theory?"
