Damn. Capella's transformations are animated well, it's creepy to watch.

And we also see all the chaos, hoping for the main character to die already haha. It does seem like the situation is hopeless at this point, and that a reset is required. But I feel like Subaru could resist Capella's curse with the one he already has. So there might still be a chance after all.

Subaru of all people should've learned by now to have some kind of tool or potion or whatever with him that he can use to suicide if he ever gets in a situation where he has to beg for death, gets imprisoned etc. It's baffling why he hasn't done something like that, like having a poison with him or something that would kill him quickly. Countless lives depend on his ability to go back in time and fix shit. Disappointing.
@Sigmar-Unberogen

Please watch Season 2.

Moreover he was saying her to kill him
And that's my point, he's relying on someone to kill him which is stupid as the absolute psychos he encounters may not grant him this wish, meaning he may survive. Towards the end of the episode it's unclear if Subaru dies or not. If he's saved somehow then reset point will likely shift, that means he fucked up big time for not dying; he may end up losing his leg and many people can't be saved. He has no one else but himself to blame for such idiocy.

My entire existence isn't defined by re:zero. I can't remember if Subaru thought of, or had countermeasures in situations where he needs to die but is unable to do so (by countermeasures, I mean something like shooting himself in the head to force reset). If that was explained in S2, remind me where.

There's enough comments praising the the peak cinema of this episode, so I'm just going to focus on how GOOD the ED is, this is the 5th time I'm hearing it and it's still as captivating for every second of it.

I don't know if you are actively brainfarting or not... so I'll just ask a couple of questions.

You have the option of neither wasting yours and mine time with pointless arguments. At least I won't waste my time by replying in that case. Questions with proper logical support are appreciated, tho.

Edit: You failed.

1. When Rem got into a coma and got forgotten by everybody, along with Crusch losing her memories, did Subaru's suicide work?

2. When was Subaru deciding his own reset points, that it's like "okay things are going wrong, gotta start over from uhh.. that checkpoint where my leg is intact or uhhhhh that vague timeline where people are taken hostage..." Wasn't his last loop just... about 10 minutes?

@jumbosan He went a year without dying, if we're talking about living through a conflict, the entirety of season 2 part 2.

Just watched this episode, I'm usually a day+ late. Not as hyped as season while it was airing, or waiting millennia for season 2.

This episode was more action, kept thinking Subaru was going to return by death, but nope.

Also why is satella so useless. Satella was able to kill surrounding people in season 1 by Subaru telling her secrets. But now she rarely helps him. Like they've dropped her as a character.

Wow, what a tense episode! I definitely love how each villain represents exactly how they were named, the scene of gluttony while persuading subaru as he interconnects the fact of "eating" or better said, the fact of having an excessive hunger in each of his actions and also the fact that the bishop of lust compares human beings only to meat is so well attributed, that it makes re:zero different compared to villains from other animes. That brutal scene of Subaru losing his leg and seeing those flies was really delirious, Bro, if I were in his place I would simply go crazy or become unresponsive, or maybe I would simply vomit non-stop

I think Subaru won’t reset and will use the unseen hand as a prosthetic leg.

When Rem died in S1 for instance, it worked! Subaru jumped off the cliff and suicided precisely for the reason I mentioned. To fix shit before it was too late.

Did I say such BS? When shit gets out of hand, Subaru must prioritize killing himself without delay. The more he waits (be it his enemies to kill him or to blead out etc), bigger the chances he'll survive or reset point will change; thus he won't be able to fix shit.

If I'm missing some crucial detail I apparently forgot or didn't pay enough attention to, please explain without having a stroke.

So many badass sociopath keeps saying Subaru needs to kill himself over and over lmao. I'm glad Re:Zero doesn't have a typical perfect, stone cold, effective, efficient gary stu protagonist who always makes the right decision every time. Those characters are not human. If they were the protagonist of this story, this series would turn into a typical story where the sociopathic protagonist treating his life like a gambling chip without any consequences.

@Sigmar-Unberogen Watch Season 2 Part 1.

Instead skipping first two seasons of the anime.

If you don't remember that's your problem, should have rewatched it.

If you don't care enough to rewatch, stop bothering people with braindead comments every week.

You're projecting hard here. This is literally the first comment I made. And how is a simple comment on episode discussion thread bothering anyone who isn't having mental health issues?
What's funny is how a clown known for making braindead threads every week says this of all people. It's also funny how you lot can't simply give an explanation and move on with your lives, instead of throwing tantrums.

@Sigmar-Unberogen Why should i waste my time to explain entire theme and writing of Season 2?

Go watch Season 2 Part 1, it's explained there in multiple different ways.

It's funny im trying to convince someone to watch Season 2 in Season 3 comments.

Btw I dont think even Light Novel explain this, why does Theresia works under Capella as witch cultus?
I mean, her divine protection of Death God is literally anti Capella against her regeneration ability.
If she fights against Capella, Capella would most likely suffers fate worse than death cuz she can't die but she can't heal back her wound too, so she would live as living meat scraps (literality) if Theresia chop her into pieces in a real fight.
So Theresia is clearly stronger/ superior than Capella in combat, so there's no reason she should listen to Capella.
@Ventus_S first, you shouldn't put spoilers in your comment. until the show actually reveals it, don't mention
by name, even if it should be pretty obvious by now. second,

@Okeanix You can't explain why Subaru doesn't have countermeasures to suicide without waiting to be murdered or bleed-out? Like, you need to write a 50 page thesis or something for that?

I barely have time for seasonal anime, I can't spend time rewatching S2 when answering the question should take 5 minutes max from re:zero fanatics like you, I assume. If you're incapable of formulating 2 to 3 sentences without dodging the topic or throwing a tantrum, that's not my problem. Maybe stay away from forums then. If you're short on time, have patience of a toddler or can't make an argument, don't reply to me at all. Easy.
