Well, I'm scarred now.

I was feeling so uncomfortable when that 'lil shit (not deserving of having his name mentioned because fuck him) was twisting Rem, only to find out she was still alive during that. Ouch!

The part with Subaru screaming, the villain spouting nonsense and Rem barging in...
I was genuinely creeped out, it's three mental people in a dark cave, with all the bloodlust in the world.

Not gonna lie, I had fun.

To be honest, I find it hard to feel any kind of tension watching this show because everything that happens on screen is simply rendered void whenever Subaru dies. Unless his respawn point can be actually after someone else's death and not before.

Betelgeuse is my next favorite character. That guy is so crazy and sadistic, yet he gives off the vibe that something happened in the past related to love and sloth. As for the episode, so good music, great developments and Subaru has hit the bottom. Now the battle begins.

Gotta say, that was the most intense episode I've seen in the past few years. Instead of all this helping him to gain some resolve, it looks like it's made him even more broken. Betelgeuse was the definition of insane, holy crap. Everything about him and everything he did made me wince, especially how it looked like his eyes would pop out. The eyeball lick to Subaru didn't help either lol

Looking forward to the next episode and Subaru's changes

So initial shock aside, was he really playing like his mind was broken for attention? Or was he sorta in between broken and reality? Seems like he was playing because he repeated that crazy dude's name.


I think he was 'faking' it in the sense he had some level of control over it, but I don't think he was completely lucid, either. He had finally reached the tipping point seeing everyone murdered in that village, Rem's state, the villagers state, and then presumably Emilias, and needed time to reboot. So he disassociated himself from his surroundings and only focused on what was going on inside his head. Once he got called out on it by Betelgeuse, he started getting a bit agitated, and I think this is evidence that he understood that he was still technically lucid, but still couldn't yet come to terms with everything that's happening around him. Seeing Rem get butchered forced him to confront reality and witness what was going on around him once again.


Ah makes sense. Anyway I still can't get over this episode, everything was perfect, the directing, the voice acting, the music, the visuals.. oh god. This is that same feeling I had from that one game of thrones episode (keeping it vague cause not everyone saw GoT yet).

The darkest and most brutal episode so far. The amount of cringe (in a good way) this episode brought was astounding. Amazing.
"More than anything, I wanted to protect her. Not cause it's my duty or what's expected of me, or anything like that. I wanted to protect her because of how amazing she is because I believe she's totally worth it. It's always been her, and it always will be...Forever."

Okay, I was a big hater of the second arc and the lead-in to this arc, but this show is freakin turnin me around.

This show established the relationships so clunkily, but once you past, "i need these characters to like each other", then it gets really good

Love subaru's suffering, rem's dedication, and that giant wolf creature was awesome

betelgeuse looks like a fun villain

I guess Subaru being Pride means he has some kind of power, because when BeetleJuice (probably spelling it wrong) used his power to twist Rem around, he said "Authority of Sloth, Unseen hand". I guess all 7 deadly sins would have some kind of power (if we ever see them all). So Subaru should have something similar, which I guess he will use in next episodes

Outstanding episode, This was just crazy,insane, intense and even depressing on so many levels.

Here I thought Subaru's first death was abrupt and out of nowhere but what followed was just downright insane.
Seeing Subaru all broken down was so pitiful, Couldn't even find the words to describe how he was in that state.

Betelguese, What a guy man! His streaks of insanity are brutal and just savage, I know I'm supposed to dislike him but damn this guy is one hell of entertaining antagonist, I actually liked him XD , In fact I found what he said to Subaru was actually making sense, He chastised Subaru for not taking action and that the current scenario was purely because of his sloth of not taking action. In a way the guy is right, Not really criticizing Subaru but if he had taken action we might have seen a different outcome.
Poor Rem though, She got brutally twisted T.T. Applause for her actions though, I found the crawling weird since I thought she was dead but whatever.

That gigantic creature O.O , Looks like it killed Subaru twice.

Looks like Subaru finally found his conviction in the third redo, Hopefully he gets shit done, Else someone direct me to a place where I can find such a thing called 'Hope' .

Consider this: There has been multiple instances where we see the world after Subaru's death. Once, when he throws himself off a cliff, and again, as we watch the Puck's blizzard cover his and Rem's corpse for a considerable period of time. In all likelihood, each and every world he dies in continues to move on unabated by his death.

So, yes, we see Rem die, Subaru die, Emilia die on more than one occasion, but their death is quite likely finite in that world. The world he returns to is in the past, but it's another instance of that world altogether.

We will likely see a character die in this series... Whether or not it's in the anime, I have no idea. But giving the viewer so many redo's on their favorite character's deaths is the perfect precursor to making one definite.

That's not 100% set in stone though. As we've seen there are specific 'checkpoints' where he returns to after he dies. We have no way of knowing what triggers them, plus we don't know if his return by death ability has a limit.

When a show goes edgy, even Puck becomes an edgelord.

First of all the ep starts with edge and a lot of it feels unneeded as MC angsts over destroyed mansion and dead characters and keeps realizing what a piece of shit of a person he is. I mean did we not go through this when the curse killed Rem in Arc 2? Oh wait we did. So this is repeat of that, except with more edge and gore, which is not why I watch Rezero for. The whole freezing part at the start was too much. NOPE. Fuck that.

Anyway, new villain looks and acts like he escaped from Akame Ga Kill. What the fuck is even such a character?
Fucking had to fast-forward the scenes with the edgy villain because of how disgusting they were. Most of the dude's whose name is too hard to remember screentime was half disgust half disbelief on whether I should take it seriously. I would not if most of the shit he does was not this gory and revolting. Ugh


Overall Rem was the saving grace of the episode. Out of entire cast, she remains the most likeable and badass character.

And Subaru still remains a pitiful asshole. At least hopefully this will serve as a lesson to him. Now hopefully since we are done with this we can actually see Subaru fix this shit and stop being an asshole in progress, instead of this gruesome torture porn.

So anyone else thought of Fate/Zero sorcerer? Man that guy is one hell of an ugly bastard. Well, things are going to shit now it seems. If Rem doesn't come back alive I'm going to flip my shit. I don't care how bullshit the reasoning is, she can just one day resurrect for the stupidest of reasons for all I care, I just want her to be alive. Oh and Ram too.

What the hell was that thing at the end? Just by uttering a few words she takes off Subaru's head? Holy shit.

This.

It was so painful to watch, Subaru broke down completely. You couldn't possibly be angry at him, only feel pity. There was nothing he could do, nothing he wanted to do. After seeing everyone dying like that, I can understand.

Rem is so perfect. She did everything she could to save Subaru...What was done to her was absolutely awful, cruel. She always has to suffer so much...I had tears in my eyes when she confessed and died, and afterwards when Subaru carried her. He died too, the credits roll, the OST...I wanted to cry so much, it was too sad !
Can I still hope for Rem x Subaru ?

Betelgeuse is completely insane, like really. It's amazing how they are able to capture all those different feelings, as well as him being crazy ; crazy, of course, being an understatement.

Finally, Subaru is back. Well, he at least isn't totally broken and lost anymore. That character development though. Seems he's determined to go kill that Betelgeuse guy and take revenge. I do wonder how he's going to stop those witch cultists from killing everyone.

Brilliant episode, I'm expecting a lot from the next ones.
