| The new ending was pretty good. I understand that it would be too easy if Subaru actually could tell Emilia about his ability, but since he'll take damage if he even thinks about saying it, well, that makes it very inconveniant for both parts, and that really sucks, becuase we know that Subaru only wish to do well, but since he can't explain it, there's a misunderstanding from Emilia's part and it tears me apart. In short, Subaru can't explain, not even leave a hint, which makes Emilia uncertain, and in turn make it so that she can't trust him, even though she probably knows that he's doing it all for her, and that he want to acknowledge his feeling for her, it's hard for both Subaru and Emilia. |

You are wrong, its true he can suicide but first of all he cant decide where his respawn points are set in time so why he would want to die if i.e he would be back to his first day in mansion which would lead with different settings and maybe not pleasant to him result... its fine saying this if it concerns bad situations but who would want to risk reseting good parts too ? As for episode itself, Story was rushed like crazy... presentation of elections were so bad and hurried, no time for Pack to even show himself, Elders not taking any part in it were even more fail.... entrance of Ron was so fail looking... most of the content were so bad even last scene cant cover it... I am really dissapointed of this week episode... Speaking as another source reader, I though this was still good even with slight cuts. I didn't feel like was really rushed mainly because what was cut wasn't terrible important. It hit all the relevant notes. |
| I feel like the author just keeps hurting and putting Subaru in difficult/cringey situations for the sake of dragging on this series. He just wants to see that poor guy getting humiliated over and over. Subaru's behavior and outburst made no sense at all. No one would ever decide to pick a fight against a knight who's far stronger than him like that. And I'm pretty sure we'll see an asspull so that Subaru and Emilia can make peace again anytime soon. And then Subaru will be facing another surreal and impossible situation, just for the sake of it. Sorry for the rant guise |

TeamDalaiLana said: I don't think the purpose of this episode is for you to feel for "Subaru". I'm certain you suppose to side with Emilia (it's her turn of development straying away from the trophy wife) They succeeded wonderfully. Except that her motivation of rejecting subaru is EXACTLY IN LINE with trophy waifu development - "aww I care so much for you and you keep destroying yourself, this makes me sad" GuidedCursor said: I hate it that he went on full retard. But at least his character is developing now right? At this point the only redemption I can see for him is if he dies at the end or does something VERY SELFLESS AND GRAND. I certainly hope he stops following Emilia like a puppy because fuck no, after this episode there's no way I would ever want those two to be together. It will take some DAMN MASTERFUL WRITING for me to even care about Subaru anymore. Right now all I want is him is to die painfully. |

These last two episodes, its like we are watching an entirely separate character from Subaru of Ep1-11. |

| This episodes was cringe worthy for sure after a strong start this series is falling hard almost in drop territory for me now. |
| Lol Subaru...Was he still hoping an asspull would make him win the duel like it would in his favorite animu?Didnt he learn his lesson that he is not an anime MC? |
 |
| I have no idea why Subaru acted like a faggot during the entire episode |

| I honestly don't like Emilia. And this here just made my point of not liking her more so. Honestly, they're both idiots, but Emilia more so. Subaru character is out of place too. Episode 1-11 he was calm to think and here he's just an idiot. Maybe because of his feelings for Emilia? But yeah lol. |

BINGO. :) It's actually similar episode 7 where he mentioned things he did with the twins to Rem who didn't understand any of it because those timelines no longer existed. He's always going to be a lot closer to people he's around with than their to him. |
| Subaru was pretty cringey the whole episodes with all his outbursts, but it was pretty understandable. Still, I found myself covering my face with how much I cringed. Like shit man, there's a time and place for everything. Sucks that he can't really explain himself and situation properly Pretty intense episode though. |

NB4Y said: I honestly hated this episode. It felt all really out of character for Subaru, especially the last scene which was random overly dramatic screaming Why would Subaru say that all he did was for her sake after telling her that he accepted the fight for selfish reasons? Why act like he was in a superior position talking about the debts Emilia should have, right after saying that he did all of that for his own debt? Why would he randomly insult the knights in front of everyone? As much as I loved the protagonist in the other episodes, I feel really disconnected right now after this one and I really hope it's not the start of a trainwreck Because he is a human and not a caricature. And humans never ever act rationally. Subaru is a mentally broken person, ever since he was killed in the first loop. He can act sane from time to time, but mentally broken does not mean that you always act broken. Whenever stress gets the better of him, he breaks. This is not even the first time in happened. And that's exactly how real humans would act. |

Barcia said: Subaru's behavior and outburst made no sense at all. No one would ever decide to pick a fight against a knight who's far stronger than him like that. Did you forget the fact that he picked a fight with an assassin in arc 1 and a huge mabeast in arc 2 without even making a solid plan and knowing they were far stronger than him? |
| Subaru snaps and get beaten to a pulp. :( Poor Emilia :( |

Drake1000 said: Those Felt and Reinhard interactions are great Knew that knight duel was coming Subaru is claiming something he isn't, I mean what did he even expect by facing such a high ranked knight? That Emilia would pat him on the head again? "you got absolutely decimated but you did good, you can be my attendant now" I know he does it for luv and all but this dude has no brakes, he's probably also influenced by the constant deaths he's been having and that fucked his psyche completely. Subaru is such a clueless retard but that's what makes this show so entertaining to watch, never change Subaru. Agreed, he's the reason this whole show isn't seasonal garbage. GoldenKappa said: As much as I like to sympathize with Subaru, since he can just suicide and redo his mistakes again its hard to feel invested into the drama going on here. Do you really think he'd do that just to reset his conversation? Seems more plausible he'll agonize over it pity himself and work damn hard to get her back. And even if he does, he still carries that weight around with him it would probably be even heavier if he killed himself to escape that situation. There's a lot more emotion going on in this series than you realize. |

Death is an easy way out, both for the writer and the story's moral There's time, it could still work out. But I'm guessing this gonna be a messy train wreck. I shipped them? But I knew the tragic from the start. |

| I think, most people don't realize that you are supposed to hate Subaru's behaviour in this one. He definitely deserved the beat up and the rejection from Emilia. He just couldn't behave, didn't listen to anything what she said and even insulted the knights, making him and Emilia look foolish. That angered me quite a bit. Very good episode. |
| Subaru is a HUMAN (unfortunately not a clever one) and humans does stupid things...This was actually a GREAT DEVELOPMENT for Subaru...This was the first time he was selfish and his actions made sense even if those actions were stupid af...He didnt do it for Emilia like he claims,he did it because he wanted to show off to his waifu...He did it for appreciation,glory and self satisfaction... Same thing with Ram&Rem killing Subaru,Subaru acted like an ass but its ok because he is human and he had reasons to do so...I can understand people hating this kind of human emotions and behaviour but humans are ugly(or devils =_=)...Get over it... |

FUCKING SAVING THIS LOL. So on point. Smudy said: I think, most people don't realize that you are supposed to hate Subaru's behaviour in this one.

That angered me quite a bit. Very good episode. Oh we get it that this is "Subaru fucks up" the Arc. the problem is that its literally inconsistent with his characterization in the first eleven episodes. It does not feel natural or anywhere near how his character would act. And it is done in such an edgy way that it is quite hard to find liking ANYTHING about the character anymore. Which is BAD. |
|
| All in all, I still think that Subaru's love for Emilia is artificial and forced by the Witch. And after seeing him in this episode, I wonder if the day will come when he goes so crazy that he outright harms Emilia due to his "love". In worst case, the show may go Valvrave on him. |
|
| Loved Felt's rebellious attitude towards the royal selection, seeing her back is great. How the fuck did Old Man Rom fit in that TINY hole in the ground? Subaru both annoyed me and made me feel bad for him this episode. He's helping Emilia because of the emotions he felt when he first met her and how she helped him. Unfortunately, that never happened in this current timeline and he's basing his emotions off memories that doesn't exist with this Emilia. We, the viewers, all understood why he's going to such great lengths to help her out, but for Emilia and everyone else, they don't share the same memories that he holds dear to himself. I also have to give him credit for defending Emilia when they were displaying prejudice against her. Sadly, this led to what annoyed me about him this episode; calling himself a knight. In this episode, he was brash, arrogant and damn near unbearable on the 2nd half. Not only he was outclassed by Julius in a battle, but he made tensions rise even more with Emilia during that ending sequence. He needs to understand that this isn't his world he's living in and things are different from where he's from. It was quite idiotic to accept a challenge from a Knight who is entrusted to protect a Royal Candidate. Did he really expected Julius was going to be a push over? What bugs me the most is that he is clearly being selfish when he broke his promise with Emilia, which led to the argument at the end of the episode. Anyways, that was a very intense ending for this episode. As someone who doesn't read the novels, I'm curious on where this goes and have 0 idea on what will happen next. |

MiGFiD said: [SPOILERS] SPOILERS [SPOILERS] I can understand why Subaru did what he did. This guy has seen death more than three times in all its pain and horrors. Having everything you've done, all those deaths for this one person who doesn't (not by choice) know his struggle, amount to zero? I'd be pretty pissed too. Subaru's actions were at par with what any other regular human would do. Not like some fantasy hero in a regular show. I guess that's why most people would be pissed off at Subaru. This is just some guy who got sucked in a fantasy world, not some military professional or scientist. I also feel bad for Emilia, too. Not as bad for Subaru's sake, but just enough to understand that she wants to trust him, but can't. I hope Subaru recovers from this, be it returning by death or some miraculous redemption. Emilia leaving and disowning him in front of the meeting, as well as choosing to cut ties with him at the end of the episode was all to painful after all that he's done. 5/5 watching again. i think the same as you. he cant suicide otherwise the deathspawn will come to before to the dog fight. maybe a redemptions... I think in final moments the witch will take emilia control and her will see every moment that subaru suffer... Assuming that Emilia has some conection with the witch. |
