Everytime he talks about one episode is like he has no context and sounds like he only watched that particular episode forgetting all the background and the context behind it. And other times is just straight up nonsense, impossible actions that "should" be able to be done but is just bullocks or other "viewer shaming" stuff because apparently having some nice looking characters with some funny and comedic personalities is a crime nowadays and everything must be 100% serious. So just a friendly advice..don't try :/ I just wanted to point out the obvious trashtalk. Anyways thanks for your advice. There are many people out there acting the clown, hating on an anime inspite of 'watching' deep into it just because they think it's cool, or for some twisted enjoyment. I have no obligation or time to entertain such people; off to the block list they go... On a different context, appa rently the snake mentioned in this episode appeared in Frozen Bonds. Is it? I remember a monster or two, but not too clearly. Because i don't wanna risk with these "spoilers" (even tho is not a spoiler is just some trivia, I will hidden the answer so i won't be accused by someone randomly if that will be the case) |

Emillian said: Actually Rieri is voicing Emilia and Satella too but we will find out clearly later on what actually happened while Subaru was "having fun" with those wild girls lol. Maybe Satella didn't like the way Subaru "stabbed her back" while confessing to Echidna but we can't be sure about that yet or even know that Satella actually knows what they were talking there. Hope we will know that soon. Actually, I don't think Satella can "hear" per se what they were talking about in Echidna's realm, not even know they ever mentioned RbD. But at the same time Echidna has control over Emilia's trial and that handkerchief has to have some significance in her dream when the last run was different (she probably used it as catalyst to lure out Satella out of Subaru with strong 'love' emotions (Petra's affection towards Subaru). Satella is witch of envy for reason. The fact that Subaru wasn't there to embrace Emilia was probably all it took for Satella to escape Subaru's body and posses Emilia, her rightful vessel. The motivation is to kill any love rivals (Petra, Rem) so he headed straight for the manor. Also, that would mean breaking though Emilia's shell was Echidna's goal from the start, even more when she specifically mentioned Emilia's so weak (or rather too strong) to do that. And even more interesting though - now that Satella left Subaru's body, he could be unknowingly and temporarily without RbD ability which could prove fatal. Would be interesting if for once, Emilia was the one who used it to save HIM. |
| Man, these witches are an eccentric lot, aren't they? And, at least based on what Daphne said, it seems that most of them generally meant well with whatever they did, only for their actions to have serious unintended consequences for the world. Echidna is still very difficult to get a read on and, despite all the help she's given Subaru so far, I still find myself wary of her. Perhaps the thing she'll tell him next time they meet will lean more towards that, but whatever happens there the situation in the Sanctuary upon Subaru's return raises some red flags. Can it really be a coincidence that Satella appeared in a physical form after Subaru pays Echidna's price and wakes up from her tea party? More than that, can it really be a coincidence that Emilia is nowhere to be found when Satella appears, and that they share a VA (I'm currently leaning towards a possession theory regarding that, but we'll see where it goes)? And then that post-credits stinger, confirmation that Roswaal not only has a "true" Gospel like Beatrice but also knows about Subaru's powers. Also, I know it's not strictly relevant to Subaru's current situation, but I think it would have been prudent to also ask Daphne about the Black Serpent during their conversation, given that it's bound to come up sooner or later. |
Araphaenon said: I have read the WN but I say to you: please don't spoil anime only watchers. Use spoiler tags at least. Dude... that is not a spoiler, the possession of the body is a speculation of mine because of the seiyuu + what petelguese said back then in season 1. |
 |
| So Subaru's powers are of the Witch of Envy, hm?.. Well, nice to hear it clear.. If it is the truth, of course.. These witches are a bit weird, I guess.. But if they're spending enormous amount of time just in that one place.. They could have been bored really, and came up with all kinds of chuuni ideas for their entertainment, I guess.. So now we have mix of bunnies, Elsa and Witch of Envy to deal with?.. Just how are we going to fix everything?.. ;D And why did Subaru make assumption that Witch of Envy is also heading to the mansion?.. Intuition, I guess?.. |
| Echidna certainly seems to be the most "normal" witch we've seen so far after this episode. It was pretty interesting, and amusing with the way that the other witches greeted him, with Typhon (a loli) breaking Subaru before she was replaced by Minerva (tsundere beauty), who fixed him up. Only after that, did Daphne (another loli) appear. It seems that Daphne's intentions for creating the 3 great mabeasts wasn't all evil, but in reality, the result is completely different. It's a shame that Subaru didn't ask about the serpent, but at least he got good info about how to take down the great rabbit when he faces off with it again. Each time Subaru visits Echidna's tea party, it gets harder and harder for him to come back in the future. I do hope he sees her again, which I think is almost certain at this point, as their interactions between the two are awesome. ^_^ Things got all grusome when Subaru came back for real. Not only did Emilia vanish, but he was greeted with the disturbing sight of the witch of envy, Satella herself. Not only does her appearance looks reminiscent of Emilia, but her voice has the same VA, too. That's certainly interesting... Aside from that, it was Garfiel's turn to save Subaru from death this time, which is a bit ironic considering what Garfiel did in the previous episode. Now Subaru is in a battle against time to try and stop Satella from leaving the barrier, as her goal is to get to the mansion. Not only that, but the post-credits scene with Roswaal gives us confirmation that he knows what Subaru's powers really are, which makes the last words he spoke at the end even more powerful. Also take note that he was holding a gospel of his own, too. Overall, this was another excellent episode, considering the good chunk of info that we got about the great mabeasts, the witches and also Satella herself. Bring on the next episode! =3 |
| Good lord, I didn't think that this would be possible, but this season is even more intense than the first one. Really looking forward for every new episode every week, especially the last few episodes gave so many answers to some questions. |
| Satella's scene was amazing. Disposing of the great rabbit sounds extremely difficult taking into account what the witches have said. This time Garfiel ended up saving Subaru, I love how unpredictably he acts in each reset LMAO I wonder if the post-credits scene is basically confirming that Roswaal knows of Subaru's return by death ability. |
| I love those witches, especially Minerva. They look really goofy despite having an uncertain nature upon them (Sorry I haven't read the LN lol). Yahallo, Daphne. Nao Touyama is kicking around this season, just like Aoi Yuuki, huh? |

Would be interesting if for once, Emilia was the one who used it to save HIM. I don't think Satella can "leave" Subaru's body because she wasn't "there" in the first place. As we know from the first season (betty's discussion) we know that she was sealed 400 years ago but because of her overwhelming power she can still affect or interact with some individuals or elements of nature but not that much. Subaru's curse is like a trigger button...when he talks he get BONKED and not generally she being inside him but rather a tag that was put upon him. But still we don't know if he dies now he will safely return to that point or Satella would stop him or anything else...that's a very tricky situation indeed. |

| Damn, Satella loves Subaru so much she brought him to her world and gave him return by death powers. The new witches introduced are very interesting, they're not bad but they're not entirely good either. As seen with Daphne her intentions are kinda good I guess but, the methods not so much. They have their own twisted reasoning behind things and I am looking forward to find out more about them. That scene when Satella appeared was scary damn, they really did well showing how fucking terrifying the witch of envy is. And Garfiel once again doing unexpected, can't tell anymore what's he going to do next. And damn Roswaal, we had our suspicions but does that confirm he knows about Subaru's return by death? |

Usaka_ said: Emillian said: Because i don't wanna risk with these "spoilers" (even tho is not a spoiler is just some trivia, I will hidden the answer so i won't be accused by someone randomly if that will be the case) Umm yes that would definately be a spoiler. Not sure why you dont understand that if it hasn't happened in the show yet it is considered a spoiler. Trivia my ass. Just stop. It would be really great if all the LN/WN people had a place to discuss the show other than the primary thread each week. A sub thread would be good. It seems people are incapable of keeping themselves contained when they feel they have info others do not. They feel the need to throw it out there reguardless of someone asking or not. Or some people like being an ass and spoiling things for other people just because they can. 1. Is marked with spoiler and because i talked with him he should decide if he wanna find out or not....and yes its JUST TRIVIA and the name was mentioned in the Frozen Bonds and what that black moisture does to the world, hell it was in the movie as a great inconvenience and it was actually mentioned who produced that thing and the name of it isn't important in any kind of way (that's why is trivia lol) 2.I don't read the LN/WN but its not that relevant so whatever. 3. It got spoiler tag, is not even a "spoiler" but because of cases like that (huh what a coincidence) i marked it with spoiler and if u risked that sry but is not my problem, I think you are able to read "spoiler" tag in any case. :/ PS: Oh and hope u did read this part before pushing that button (if u really did that): "will hidden the answer so i won't be accused by someone randomly if that will be the case" :) |

| What a revealing episode, yet I still have many questions. It was great to see some of the other witches, Minerva sure was hilarious and unexpected ^^ Can't wait for the next episode, this one was great! |

champu said: Yeah you can buy them from Amazon, The LN's english version is in volume 13 while the anime just started volume 12 and the first cour will probably conclude volume 12.Faryd said: it wasn't in the LN Is there a way to read the LN in english? so far i seen the ln's english official version to be like behind anime |

| "you thought you were alright sharing our secret to other witches behind me huh? nope i will kill those who are important to you Subaru-kun" -Satella, the Witch of ASMR im glad i watch this episode with headset feels like she is whispering me Kreygasm loli witches to be expected, im glad Echidna atleast different. Minerva is cute tho i like her and her Crazy Diamond ability. i wonder if we are going to see the Lust and Sloth witch this season? wow so Roswall does know Subaru's RBD |

| Now we have half the witches in the show. Each one of them is lovable in a way. Typhon the pride, Minerva the Wrath, Echidna the greed and Satella the envy. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
champu said: Faryd said: it wasn't in the LN Is there a way to read the LN in english? so far i seen the ln's english official version to be like behind anime Excepting Amazon you can also find them on Book Depository, i ordered some volumes from there and its amazing because of the free worldwide transport and their great prices. They got all the volumes that are globally released (recently all of these sites added volume 4 because for some reason it got extinct but now is back lol) |

Marinate1016 said: Lots of changes from the WN in this episode, I know there’s going to be a lot of confused people lol. Loved the Magical Girl vibe they went with for Minerva. Satella looked so badass, they went full on wedding dress for her, dropping so many hints. And then that post credits scene from ending of volume 11. damn man I want to make my usual long analysis of the episode, as usual white fox did a great job, but there’s genuinely not much to comment on. Next week is going to be spicy though. Volume 11? With there being only 13 volumes (i think), does that mean the anime is almost caught up with the manga ? |

| So... neutral witch, sadistic loli witch, loving and probably best witch and dark witch. Also THE witch, the point of the story appeared. This is still going great. A 9 up to now. Also, still don´t understand if Roswaal is good, bad, just wants to watch or just wants to go see a Olimpo-San Martín de Tucumán match. Really don´t get it |

fullofregrets09 said: I haven't thought much about this but now that I've read it, I have an interesting theory that I can't talk about because spoilers :/You know what's still bugging me? I don't want answers to this but, after seeing as how Daphne, the Great Rabbit, and the ulgarm want to eat Subaru because of the Witch's scent they find so tasty, why did the White Whale leave Subaru when it almost had him after he was pushed off by Otto? I bet we will get the answer to that soon. One more thing. @Rob7 already posted this in the thread about skipped content, but Echidna knows nothing about Sin Archbishops. |

aboood40091 said: I know! I saw the clips a few others linked in this discussion. Although i think what donated the most to the feeling of ASMR was the way it was EQ’d heavily.McBaws said: Holy shit Satella needs to fuckin start an ASMR channel. I would instantly sub. Shit gave me goosebumps. It's Rie Takahashi. She did do ASMR a few times before (only short clips or even a few lines tho), which you can find on YouTube. |
 |
| This is hands down the best episode so far. Finally, the other witches show themselves. Even if it was a brief appearance, it was still cool to see all of them in action. Daphne Not only that, but Subaru also has to return to the mansion and stop Elsa.This just got even more complicated. I wonder how Subaru will be able to pull this off. Witch of Envy finally reveals herself but damn. Seeing her just gives me chills. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| The most interesting line from this episode is from Roswaal. More or less confirming my theory that Roswaal knows about Subaru's RbD |
| Even if Emilia is not Satella since she is also a half elf I am pretty sure she can get possessed. It might be something similar to when Subaru got possessed by Petelgeuse. Her body is missing so it all adds up. |
crystalblade13 said: nice. I appreciate name dropping the best translations. Though I’ll probably try to stick to the LN, since it seems the WN isn’t really considered Canon. Don’t wanna be getting details that the author feels should be trimmed back and reworked. For example, I’ve heard of a.. thing daphne was supposed to do to Subaru in her scene this episode. But it wasn’t in the LN. and that may be because teppei decided that it was against her portrayal after having time to think on it. I’d like as few discrepancies as I can have in a story as lore heavy and complex as Re:zero lol The scene you refer to seems to have been removed just to make the story fit nicely into novels. If the concept of the scene wouldn't be canon anymore, Echidna wouldn't have told Subaru to be careful to look into Daphne's eyes, and the later wouldn't have said that Subaru should experience what it's like to be starving as the rabbits. However there are some bigger differences, such as the episode 6 being entirely different. In these cases, it's really strange to watch the anime with such major changes. However, most of the changes are minor details that have been removed or added during the transition to the LN. Sometimes, I prefer the LN scenes (e.g. much more emphasis on Subaru's feelings in the last scenes of ep 8) and other times I prefer the WN ones (e.g. no crystal that conveniently teleports Subaru at the right place everytime he approaches the barrier). |
| I'm gonna say it, Re Zero season 2 is carrying this trashy summer season ngl. |
 |
| All the witches are unexpectedly really cute. But the witch of envy repeatedly saying " love you " was creepy af. Think she was in love with a human once which resembles Subaru. |
