*sobs* You're right, king.

Rafal was so young, he had his whole life ahead of him and a bright academic career.

But instead of hiding, denying his beliefs to save his life, he decided to speak openly about what he believed. Because he was inspired by someone, by the universe, by the beautiful starry sky.

Some may think that he was stupid. That he could have lied and continued his research proving heliocentrism in hiding. But he learned the truth and experienced a change that did not allow him to turn back.

He was simply brave.

Now he will inspire others. His sacrifice in the name of the idea will not be forgotten.

Rest in Peace, Rafal. I hope you can still admire the sky and smile at the thought that you have been proven right.

"Mr. Hubert died and disappeared. But the inspiration he left me hasn't faded."

HE IS AN ICON

Started watching Orb: On the Movements of the Earth few days ago and THE MOMENT Rafal opened his little mouth I knew that he was voiced by Maaya Sakamoto (aka Ciel’s va). The thing is that when Rafal talks he sounds like Ciel’s fake happy voice and for the first time in ages I realized just how much it annoys me especially when you have to listen to it for about 20 minutes almost nonstop

Hats off to the team managing Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

SPOILERS FOR VOL 1/EP 3 UNDER CUT

I love how all the anime marketing, the OP and ED etc, bills Rafal as the MC, so the fact that he dies in ep 3 hit like a truck—it was such a cool bait and switch and really emphasizes that these are dangerous times for people pursuing the 'heresy' of heliocentrism

First Impression: Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

Rafal is a child prodigy in the 15th century in a country named P, at a time when people thought differently about many things. Back then, theology was considered the most important field of study. Naturally, this is the field that Rafal will dedicate his life to, not because he considers it noble but simply because he sees it as the easiest way to move up in the world. His teacher highly approves of his choice, and after that his future seems to be set in stone. But all this gets shaken up when he meets a recanted heretic called Hubert. This mysterious man doesn’t wait long before bluntly stating that he hasn’t recanted at all. He intends to make Rafal his apprentice in his study of heliocentrism. Despite the bloody persecution of those who hold those beliefs, Hubert feels drawn to the beautiful truth of this view. He emphasizes its beauty first and foremost and convinces Rafal to see things the same way. Beauty might touch our souls, but it does little to protect us from torture and burning at the stake. To remedy this issue, Rafal knows a little trick that’ll help increase his odds of survival: you can lie about what you believe. This might work out for now, but will it keep him safe as he dives further into Hubert’s heretical theory?
