Hello everyone

As someone who doesn't read LN or manga series, I've been waiting for the cell phone to do something ever since it first appeared. We are 20 episodes in, and still nothing.

Early on, Subaru used it a couple times with the old man. Since then he's opened it a couple times, took a picture of the white whale, and used it as a bargaining chip with the financial guy. After watching Oda Nobuna, where the guy's iphone literally, hilariously, saves both the main character's lives, I have to say I am slightly disappointed in this regard.

So for people who know what should happen in the future, will the cell phone (metia) ever become more involved in the story beyond just a thing that Subaru has?

I didn't read the LN or manga, but I'm guessing that he won't do anything with it since he is, like you said, trading it away.

So I'm sure this is the last time we will see it.

Spoilers though I don't know much of the details myself but I accidentally read it from someone who didn't use a spoiler tag.

this was in the anime though, so no spoilers there unless you're way behind on that (i believe it was ep 19)

I only spoiler tagged my post in case people weren't up to date :P

Wait, when did they agree to do that? I just watched that scene and they were talking about mining rights from Emilia's territory. At the end of 19, Subaru still had his phone on him when the alarm went off when the White Whale appeared.

at around minute 7:25, right after the agreement is made

Aw. I know about the trade, but I had hoped that it wouldn't actually go through.

This is just a personal amusement thing, but I had very high hopes for that phone. This is literally the only thing that still bugs me about this show. Oh well.

I mean it's a cell phone, not an actual magical device that transforms into a unicorn when you dial 411. There's not much it could logically do to help him in the realm he's stuck in because it's simply a mere cellphone.

What kind of things did you expect it to do though?

I don't want to spoil too much, but Subaru forgets about Emilia later on and falls in love with his cell-phone. The scene where it dies is really sad.
People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol

@Exhalant Something like that.

In Oda Nobuna, the iphone saves the main character 3 times. It distracts a sniper, blocks a bullet, and blocks a sword. Completely goofy, utterly ridiculous, but hilarious and significant. I wanted something like this.

@Mac97

Makes sense. But I doubt the creators of this series would've utilized the cellphone the same way. It'd be a surprise to me also if it did though.

Uhm...correct me if I'm wrong, but the cellphone HAS already played an important role, hasn't it? I mean, it's basically one of the main reasons this alliance with Crusch could be established in the first place. What more do you want it to do?
