IMO, I'd be more suspicious, because that's the normal behavior of a spy. Sneak in, get info, leave asap. A spy wouldn't overstay after getting their needed information.

This doesn't explain why they took him, if they suspected him from being a spy in the first place. Would they still try to kill him if he quits as soon as wakes up? It seems that conflict is unavoidable.

I wonder what would happen if he had hidden himself inside of Betty's secluded room for the night.

She wouldn't let him. Even though, Betty seems to be a good friend to have as she is actually aware of the loops. She is only person so far that remembers encounters that happen in previous loops. Or can be the worst enemy just the same. Sadly, she is also hard to deal with.


I believe it's what you said: conflict is unavoidable. It's like a videogame. The only thing he can do is keep gathering information, trying different interactions... etc until he manages to get to the next checkpoint. Fortunately, even though he's in the same situation and these episodes are slower, all the events have been different so it's not too repetitive (it would have been hell if they had done something similar to Suzumiya Haruhi S2).

For the last time, she is not aware of the loops. there's absolutely no indication she is

In fact in this very episode there's clear indication she is NOT.

They took him out of obligation remember? Besides because Subaru's history is virtual unknown and the fact that he just happened to meet Emilia one of prime candidates for the throne during a turbulent time in the country not being cautious would be foolhardy.

this page heavily disagrees. I'm really mad that the anime didn't adapted this implication as the manga did. btw this is 1st loop, so not spoilers.

and she's keeping herself quiet. that's the even bigger mystery.

I guess you mean her last sentence? I'm pretty sure she said something really similiar in episode 4. And it had nothing to do with his loops.


yes that's right. the "door closing" in the manga was a huge implication. nothing like in ep 4 where he was blown away and suddenly blabbered "that" for no reason.

That has nothing to do with the loops.

There's absolutely nothing to indicate she is talking about the loops and not, oh I don't know - the fact that he is about to get killed. Especially since it happens just before he gets killed. The logical implication is easy to understand - she knows something bad is about to happen but does not feel like its her business.

Again she literally said about "meeting him twice" this episode which literally indicates she has no idea about loops. There's absolutely no indication otherwise.

Yes

Suspicious because she most likely knows something about the awful awful death that is about to happen to Subaru. There's absolutely no other way to interpret that.

To me it feels like she knows about the whole respawn thing. that's why she wasn't as much concerned as compared to him dying.

Now I'm kinda hoping for Subaru to die again once more, it would be very awkward if he met Rem once again.

Most likely killing people is what Rem excels at, more than her twin.

There are heavy implications, that she doesn't care at all about him. Even in episode 5 is a scene, where she looks at him and senses that he was cursed (my guess). She just brushes it off and goes on.

I really like this anime, but Subaru being dense and his spazzy / waifuing reactions to death are starting to weigh down what is essentially a 'WHO DUNNIT' murder mystery series. Like in the first arc: it took him multiple deaths just to realise he was in a loop, when confronted with the same apple vendor exchange every time. The obvious evades him.

As for ep6, my problem is this: all Subaru knows is A) he showed signs of poisoning/something killing him internally and B) someone is out to kill him with a more direct approach inside the mansion. The first logical step would be to suspect everyone and not take food/drinks served to him directly nonchalantly. So, what does he do? He drinks tea the standoffish maids prepare! For some reason after a chat with Beatrice he decides it's a curse/magic when puking/weakness should imply delayed effects of poisoning. I DUN GEDDIT.

This finally got funny, Subaru made me chuckle way more this episode.

Lol I love his interactions with Betty, my favorite bond. These two make me laugh.

The red and blue ogre story from ore monogatari is here, too. I guess that's because its a popular fairytale... tho that's pretty obvious.

I guess I like Ram better again. Her moments with Subaru were touching this episode. I bet she expected him to take blue ogre's side, but nope. He chose them both, really liked that moment.

Ohh the comedy really did improve a lot, I laughed a lot this episode. I guess I'll have to eat my own words, Subaru has become pretty likable.

So it was Rem... and here I was so sure that's its Ram. Damn. I guess she is doing all the dirty work for Ram's sake if we go by the ogre story. Man, this got really interesting once again.
I think it's my favorite episode yet.

Everyone could poison the food or drinks, if they're able to reach it. It's too vague to work with. He looks for clues relating to the chain instead, which is certainly a part of the murder weapon. And because he finds nothing, he leaves the mansion and observes it instead. Just because you suspect something, you can't base your investigations around it. The more obvious clues have to be addressed first. And refusing to drink makes him stand out even more.

About your problem. I think it's quite obvious that he puts up a happy act in order to not be suspicious and get Information. He Even said that this third loop is for information gathering so why would he behave overly wary which only makes getting information harder for him. He has to do something different in this timeline while keeping up the overall same relationship.

I'm at work Right now, so I can't address all of your Problems in depth. I'm sure other people will be glad to explain his through process to you :)

I would agree with your 'he doesn't want to arouse suspicion by not drinking' viewpoint (aside from his OTT reactions and attitude making him suspicious anyway), but my problem is more he appears to completely overlook the possibility of poisoning and jumps right to Beatrice, asking about curses. And he also assumes it's more likely someone targeting Emilia from the outside, rather than him being the target from the inside. He was watching the mansion for intruders, even!

There was a very valid way of investigating without refusing drinks: If he had investigated his death as a poisoning, his first line of investigation would have been those who prepare the meals. And since it turned out Ram was the killer, and her weapon of choice is a gigantic ball and chain rather than 'weakness' magic... ep6 had a strange emphasis on Subaru being served tea, and unless that was misdirection, he's poisoned again, as well.

He doesn't ask about curses instantly. He begins with asking, if there is a magic, that could have killed him. But Beatrice refers to such magic as curse rather than simply magic. This is why he investigates based on the keyword "curse", which actually means magic.
As for the second point, he is able to drastically reduce the number of suspects. If he's hunted again, he will escape. If the mansion is attacked, he will know the perpretator. And considering, that he is a worm compared to Emilia, why wouldn't you assume that he was just caught up in a massacre of the mansion's people?

If the murderer cares about the future at all, and just one person isn't behind the murder, they would direct their suspicions to them as well. This could be a big inconvenience for them. A spiked mace is able to delete every last trace of possible clues of him being murdered.

He got brutally murdered after being sent into a fantasy world.Confusion and clouded ability to think is normal. Still once he cleared his head he came to that conclusion easily.

As for ep6, my problem is this: all Subaru knows is A) he showed signs of poisoning/something killing him internally and B) someone is out to kill him with a more direct approach inside the mansion.

Suspecting eveyrone gets him nowhere. All he can do is to seek out knowledge about the elements of his death HE KNOWS about. Chains.

As for poisoning - he is in a magical world. ITs far more likely to assume its a curse than poison since cursing someone is far easier. Also Beatrice guards magic books. Asking about magic makes sense.

Because suspecting everyone gets him nowhere. He can waste the whole loop being paranoid idiot and still get killed. Acting like nothing makes sense.

In the previous loop he acted like nothing happened in order to repeat the situation and find out how he died(and maybe prevent that).
Now he is acting like nothing happened in order to find out clues on who might have killed him.

@AironicallyHuman It's neither of those two. It's just so potent in these two arcs since they function as an introduction. Arc 3 could be considered the First "real" challenge which shows what a little bit what Re:Zero is about. It's completely different to these past 6 episodes.

It's no murder mystery nor a mystery in general. The author simply loves to constantly have a few unanswered question floating around which creates the image of a mystery show.

If you even can categorize it all then I'd say it's a really unique and dark take on a zero to hero story. Basically, make an expulsive and obnoxious mc who matures through the greatest horrors possible.

But hey After 30 volumes worth of content we're only at the halfway mark in the story so it can turn out any way. It's quite versatile in the aspects it adresses so categorizing it as a whole is still hard.

A Little info: We're not even in the actual story/plot yet as this still somewhat the beginning.

We finally find out who was behind Subaru's deaths during his nights at the mansion and it was none other than Rem! Of course, pretty much everyone suspected it was going to be one of the maids. However, after hearing Subaru talk about the ogre story, that pretty much made me convinced that it was Rem. Ram reacted very strangely and hostile towards the story too. The 'witch' story also seemed to relate to Emilia 'Satella/Jealous Witch' persona which I have very little knowledge about at the moment; I hope we find out more of that. Rem wields such a huge ball and chain though, geezus. Roswaal seemed to also have chains on his right ankle which probably means he ordered Rem to murder and kill Subaru?

I really liked the comedy in this episode as well. Puck and Subaru's banter made Emilia laugh which was funny and cute. Gawd damn, Emilia's laughter and smile is too innocent. She's such a babe. I also liked Subaru's conversation with Beatrice, they have some great chemistry. Beatrice pretty much acts as a tsundere but in a not so annoying way. Can't wait for the next episode next week!

look at it from their POV. someone entered their mansion with his background unknown. they're suspicious of him, he could be a spy, etc, but they never brought it in day 1.

2nd loop would also eliminate food poison theory because he was killed directly.

He could have aggravated one of inhabitants and thus been eliminated.


clearly he didn't.

This is a valid theory.

We know from few eps back that even the Clown Master guy waited 5 days before inquiring about Subaru's fate/

Does that justify that nobody poisoned him later on? No! I have observed his choice of words carefully. Here are some of my thoughts for a motive later on:
1. His interactions with Emilia are becoming too friendly. He poses as a threat, thus he's eliminated.
2. His outrageous demand is another motive. If you consider the interactions with Ram later on as well, they could make him a target for assassination. As for the interactions, I mean that he thinks of the tea as mediocre (probably made by Ram), which aggravates Rem because they care for each other (as implied by the ogre story). Subaru acts disrespectfully with Ram.
3. He asks Beatrice some suspicious questions. If she deems him to be dangerous, he could be eliminated.

I'm not supporting the food theory for reasons posted before. And just because he is killed directly, doesn't mean that he wasn't poisoned. If you assume that two persons try to eliminate him at the same time while acting independently, this could happen.

1. His interactions with Emilia are becoming too friendly. He poses as a threat, thus he's eliminated.
2. His outrageous demand is another motive. If you consider the interactions with Ram later on as well, they could make him a target for assassination. As for the interactions, I mean that he thinks of the tea as mediocre (probably made by Ram), which aggravates Rem because they care for each other (as implied by the ogre story). Subaru acts disrespectfully with Ram.
3. He asks Beatrice some suspicious questions. If she deems him to be dangerous, he could be eliminated.


remember this is still loop 3. His actions here weren't too different from before, so it's hard to imagine how the food poison flag would trigger.

If you assume that two persons try to eliminate him at the same time while acting independently, this could happen.

This episode was wonderful. I guess we'll have two revivals in the next episode then. That look of despair on Ball's face was absolutely delicious.

I cannot wait to see his traumatized face when he wakes up in bed and faces Rem again.

Really good episode imo. The tone, the way Subara finally started thinking about possibly using his ability to his advantage, the character development once again, the Ogre story, and the ending scene all shined through in this episode. Most of my criticism of the last episode were addressed in this one, but this was clearly a superior episode.

That's what we were trying to say. Give the show time to explain itself and it will.

Aside from that, I loved the amount of visual symbolism and references we got in this episode. This color play with red, purple and blue was wonderfully done. One of many things where anime can place nice little details:)

Why would the number of loops matter? If you assume that he is poisoned in loop 1, then he is poisoned in loop 2 as well. As for loop 3, it hasn't been shown so far.


Re:Zero nice troll ending.

It's not that I wasn't giving the series time, it's that I felt it would have been good to explore the things that this episode did. Which is why I can say that this episode was more enjoyable than the last one, because the MC finally started to actually think about what was going on and how he could use his ability to his advantage. The symbolism as you pointed out was great, the pacing was nice, and that cliffhanger was good as per the usual.

Well it's not that not much happened, in fact a lot happenedy It simply wasn't clearly visible from the outside and very subtle.

Why? We don't know her intentions nor the whole deal with this arc yet. Maybe it's Subaru who is at fault here, who knows.

IMO, I'd be more suspicious, because that's the normal behavior of a spy. Sneak in, get info, leave asap. A spy wouldn't overstay after getting their needed information.

This doesn't explain why they took him, if they suspected him from being a spy in the first place. Would they still try to kill him if he quits as soon as wakes up? It seems that conflict is unavoidable.
if they already know who he's working with, then they have no use keeping him and torturing him for information.

and if you think about it this way, it should be pretty obvious who they'd doubt. subaru is very close to emilia, one of the successor of the king. but he acts very suspicious and sneaked around and lied that he's leaving when he only went to the forest to spy on the mansion (emilia). they'd probably think he's working for another successor to get rid of emilia, so that person can become the king.

I was actually about to make a similar post regarding the same observation, but yeah it's basically a freaking circus at this point. Subaru more or less everything in his at one point, but goalposts are always being moved no matter what. At this point it's just charade of dishonesty and stupidity. It's gotten pretty old at this point.
