Re:Zero - Why do YOU dislike/hate Subaru?

I think—I blink to see the darkness around me; I would not say ‘I feel it’ to extract a lot of metaphor involves in “feelings”, I merely observed it—with my own bias self and confirmed that it is indeed dark. I think that darkness can be the light to others, and to some it might be the blue-ish clouds surrounding the skies high above—across the horizon, ohh well merely reiterating what I said is a waste of time, I’m basically here—writing this very ‘unprofessional’ post to respond and to think why the world is compose of always, users and people of on not the same side.

While I’m at it, let me tell you this: I know nothing of how to write professional; I merely know how to just, put what I think plain and simple; I can sugar coat everything I said to sound professional yet that would certainly not go to my consciousness or even inside my head, so I’ll tell this, I know nothing of what I just typed at the beginning of this bullshit. What I just want to say is that—possibly even you can’t see that—sum it all up, would be why waifu wars are such a very interesting yet dull at the same time. This is not at all insightful nor informative to the extent of allowing all existing waifu war to be included in such, a dull and very time consuming shitpost-- the form of blog post. Another bullshit, excerpt that doesn’t really tell anything about something I want to talk about. I’ve been, feeling of doing this so I’m quite hyped up, despite this turning into another bullshit that you’ll know how It will basically end, I guess let us start…


The truth about waifu war is the fact that none, are above than others or well-written as a character. Despite that—which are most commonly known phenomenon of all existing bullshit, it still exists, though varies from of course, famdom to famdom, it ranges from the overall kawaii points of the waifu in the series; her outfit which drastically—of course increases her waifu points; others might inject their fetish to their waifu—which, as a lot of you might know, a fap material indeed. We can list out various aspects and/or things that a waifu should—will have, but for most part, what carves these things are how does she act on the series, her action will dictate (for most of us), if she is truly a waifu material. Certainly, to certainly users, a waifu’s characteristics will not matter if she can say “Onii-chan~ Onii-chan~” so magnanimously that everything, all the shit in this world doesn’t matter anymore. And, that is what—most of us call ideal, since we do know that, fiction characters, thus our waifus, will stay as ideals carve by someone who knows how to manipulate this ideal—transform her into something we’d love. Certainly, not here to just talk about that someone, but I’m here to point out, why waifus are ideals created for us and why does it hold much more than that. Certainly—plainly because real life sucks, and we thus seek something far better, and removed from it; that offers salvation none in the reality can offer.
In the end of all that, well—bullshit, there is a clear distinction as to why, Rem is far superior than Emilia. In fact, even Haruka, and LL waifus are far superior than Emilia; even though those characters don’t share the same series. To put it bluntly, Rem is superior than Emilia, excluding those fappable loli waifus, because weighing Rem and the loli waifus are just not possible—Rem is seriously gonna fall off. To simply grasp, how things will fall off, since I did quite meme on that; I will merely jolt down why and how Rem is superior. As I’ve said before, her maid outfit will always be a plus one for me, that does indeed increase her waifu points—drastically at that. While I’m just point it out, her screen time, which is relatively almost 90% of the series—Emilia where basically hides inside the mansion, clearly illustrates to what extent her waifu points had been exposed. The fact that, Rem values her only sister to the rest of the world, shows her compassion—undying love for her sister, that to me, would be a quality Emilia could not obtain. Rem might be—no, she is bad at cooking, basically all motherly stuff, which certainly earns her yet another waifu points. Her carelessness illustrates her more fappability side of her character, to what extend author-sama knew a lot will fall from this cliché, that I don’t know; I merely injected what I feel like—to what I see in the series regardless of her actions or how the plot, will try to at least make her look like a demon.


I think mapping out every detail of Rem’s action in the series would merely retell the story—not the purpose of this whole bullshit, nor this a review since I clearly don’t know how to create one and not a character analysis because looking at it on the perspective of someone who’d fap to kawaii maids saying “Goushijim-sama~ Goushoujin-sama~” would be quite a weird way. What this will deliver, would be a lot of random bullshit that I think you already see (who will read this anyway?). Anyway, as I’ve said more often than not, Rem should not be called a demon( let Emilia have that and she’d be happy to have that title for her own sake), Rem merely will kill the whole world and save her sister, what’s wrong about that? Isn’t that love on itself? Subaru certainly liked being killed by her--many times as we’ve clearly seen. Although no matter how we look at it, Rem will still feel indebt to Subaru because without Subaru, Rem would not escape from that feeling of guilt not being able to save his sister, his family and ultimately herself for being weak. That’s why I think, Rem don’t hold romantic feelings for Subaru—she merely feels obligated to thank him, and that confession—to Rem, is merely repaying what Subaru had done to her. Rem did not save Subaru for the reason of having a romantic feeling to her, close to it though but not romantic feeling—in fact you can call it loyalty to stand beside Subaru and repay his kindess---which later on revealed as just his ego bursting… Anyway we’ve already seen how screwed Subaru is and how more of a human he is than others. But it could still happen, the option of Rem being not reject still exists, merely because the option that Rem was rejected happened, although for me that does not really change anything—for me, I’ll will still love the maid who can’t do anything other, yet can verbally abuse me, and still find it moe.


Rem did not just shine bright as the starts during that EP, in fact the first time she was introduced to the series, I’ve felt that she’s the best gril, but that does not truly matter. Waifu wars in general often, or in my opinion revolves more how the viewers inject their own fetish to the character, even if I have found good things that Rem portrayed—to others that might not be what’s good to her—to others Emilia’s quirkiness, and her silver-hair might just what what’s moe to them. Yet it still continued and will it be?





Now, now, I think Emilia is your ideal gril. However, for me she isn’t. She just doesn’t have that kawaii points that Rem have. Nope, she’s not wearing a maid outfit that very suits to Rem; which increases her kawaii points. Emilia on the other hand, wait… I forgot what she even wears in the series, mainly because I felt like author-sama forgots her. Anyway, she wears a very decent outfit that in some ways captures her, shyness which translates to her kawaii points, I guess. A Goddess and a waifu is not really a separate entity. One should worship his waifu, and thus praise how she had saved his soul. Repeatedly. This is what I believe, but in my opinion everyone’s waifu is their goddess, which is sometimes often used and will be associated by other users. If then, by following such definition, I think the connotation of a goddess is someone you love yet a waifu is someone you don’t love; or someone who you devalue below your goddess. Seriously, why waifu wars starts from the first place. Do we follow the creed of fetishes to measure one’s fapability? Or do we follow the mathematical approach, in which we literally do what it means. I get that, Emilia might be someone, to others who are above Rem, for simple reason such as, Subaru loves her. Just simply because of how she had, sadly saved him. So sadly, that Rem had repeatedly saved Subaru more than once, Emilia had done it but I guess the weight of the action isn’t additive now. Thus, placing Rem’s action be more above than Emilia.


This, by far will be my own speculation now, I’ve watched the series but had forgotten about it so I might be very inaccurate of what I will have to say. I’m retelling this in a sense, of Rem’s perspective; Subaru does not and will not be present in my narration at least his thoughts.


I’ll retell it by saying that, Rem does not love Subaru. She merely, well at least said “I love you” (Re:Zero) in a circumstantial point of view. Love and loyalty goes hand and hand. You can love someone but does not trust that dude and you can be loyal and don’t love that dude; it now speaks from the fact that outside factor will play like, for say money—any sort of incentive will do just so that you can get that loyalty for a price of let’s say, your hobby. But love and loyalty can still be mixed together forming a well-balanced feeling. Rem is like that, she loved Subaru not because of his thicc dicc or whatever, it merely because Rem felt that Subaru does things that, well very Subaru-ish; save someone and shit. Yes, I firmly believe that Rem loves Subaru not in light as Subaru loves Emilia. Rem merely loves Subaru for who he is. Quite ironically that he isn’t what she thought he is. It does still play the role that, Rem managed to point of what if… things like “we can be a family, you’ll work in the factory” (Re:Zero, EP018) but that is merely a circumstantial perspective, in literally what will happen if love forms inside of Rem and not love and loyalty. I believe that Rem told this things to him to have a taste of what he truly wants to do. And I get it, that is not to be with Rem, for she is just there to be a catalyst in the series and nothing more than just that.


Rem doesn’t want anything from Subaru. She already has Ram, and I think that’s what she basically needs in this world; there is a reason why Rem will kill Subaru, and that’s because of protecting Ram. She’s action is justified in a sense that, are you still going to preach about righteousness while a mob is killing each other in front of you?That would be insanity, Rem have no choice but to kill someone, even if it’s the world, who could be a threat to Ram and even if it’s Subaru.


Emilia saved Subaru once. Just once and that’s all, we do know that and that will not be taken away. Beatrice had also saved Subaru more than once, and Rem had saved Subaru more than once. If we try to weigh their importance based on the number of attempts she had saved Subaru, wouldn’t Rem be at the top and Emilia will be at the bottom? Rem wanted nothing from Subaru, the same as Beatrice and the same as Emilia. Denying their purpose to save Subaru even if the plot dictates it and merely focus on how Rem wants Subaru’s dicc so bad is very childish. Rem already have everything in this world, that would be Ram. Beatrice doesn’t care about Subaru in the first place. What about Emilia? Don’t you even consider that, Emilia might not save Subaru at that time? Don’t you think everyone virtually could have done the same thing? I think of it in this way, like anyone of you would. The waifu have nothing to do with it except for Subaru’s lust for Emilia. He basically, did everything he could, regardless of how retarded it is just to have her attention. Literally, everyone can see that. Emilia had done nothing to save Subaru at that arc. Beatrice saved him, but not Emilia, then later on was saved by Rem, countless of times. You’re mistaken in the fact that Emilia had saved Subaru once and it automatically became endless. I think this is the truth on the series. The time paradoxes and lags are emphasized to be caused by the witch. Rem can’t do that, only the witch. So, wouldn’t it be possible for Subaru to “control” the time thus at least controlling the actions of the whole characters, I mean he can basically revive all the time.
