| Rem waifu of the year. |
| oh man he is alive thank god and they finally won hat an epic battle |
 |
| I'm pretty surprised nobody is expressing explicit relief or sadness, that rem has been effectively shafted, for what seems to be the final battle against the witch cult. Personally i'm on the side of relief, since I think a new checkpoint with lasting effects is coming closer. |
| Well, I'm feeling nervous and also pumped, but I did kinda read spoilers of what's gonna happen. That or I just feel too giddy and happy that I'm not properly thinking of the next upcoming shitstorm.[/quote] Understandable, I was so happy and giddy that I was being about as annoying as subaru. I was telling all the people around me about the greatness I have just witnessed, regardless of whether they were into anime or not :) |
| Every episode feels like 5 minutes, it's so sad. It has been a while since I enjoyed a show so much, anyway great episode. Rem shining as usual and Subaru trying his best against the whale. 4/5 |
 |
| From the beginning i was expecting Subaru to die again due to the other two whales that appeared but it was a nice surprise that he didn’t pass away and actually managed to help a lot in the fight so the old man could finally accomplish his goal of killing the Physeter. Now with an army at his disposal they are going to kick the cultist’s butts and save Emilia. |
| I kinda feel self conscious in calling subaru dumb after this episode. I didn't think of the whale simply dividing itself, or dropping the great tree on it. The most beautiful thing about this arc in particular, in my personal opinion, is how sentences that represent a great deal of emotion, are continuously repeated in just the right scenes. Examples of these are: You are truly slothful : I am as fanatical as a demon :I'll become a hero (It's not about being a hero, but about being the best person he can be for Rem) |
| Finally, white shit monster is dead. Everyone did a great job, including Subaru. And did anyone notice, of a witch getting closer and closer to Subaru everytime he freezes the time? Wilhelm and Theresia <3 |
| Damn it, I ship Rem x Subaru so hard! I was giggling like a girl and going crazy with Subaru and Rem in that scene! The majority the public and even studio White Fox want it as well! The author should give the public majority what they want want and that's Rem x Subaru! I don't care if it's own story, this shipping is objective! It's a fact and no one should get it wrong! I'm rooting for this ship all the way! |
 |
| This episode was just very beautiful. Crusch is an amazing character, and I love how she finds way to boost morale in the middle of the battle. The previous lives before this was quite a dread, but the characterization resulting from it is very satisfying. Wilhelm's backstory was rather adorable, too. But based on what I've seen this episode, Wilhelm never got to personally tell Theresia the words I love you, which is truly sad. Glad he got his revenge. |

And did anyone notice, of a witch getting closer and closer to Subaru everytime he freezes the time? Wilhelm and Theresia <3 Yeah, I've noticed. I think the Witch has finally been a bit fed up with Subaru abusing her power. It'd be awesome if at some point, she had a conversation with him. Have we established what she said this time around? Last episode it was probably Ai shiteru ( I love you) based on the lip flaps. I also doubt she's fed up with Subaru abusing her powers. I think she's fine with it, so long as she knows he isn't REALLY planning on spilling his guts to someone. The witch's miasma is being called love by the cultists. Therefore I think it's plausible that there is a certain amount of two-directional ''love'', between Satella and the recipents of her powers. ''love'' because Satella allegedly can't love according to Beako. |

| I may have missed it but why can Wilhem remember Theresia? |
 |
| Well that was a happy ending finally. So time for more despair I bet. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I don't know why people try so hard to hate on this show. I've seen plenty, that shouldn't be rated above 2 yet it has 7+ score. But i guess, every popular show draws out the trolls from their caves. As for this episode. Everything was more than okay, the battle finally concluded, and tbh i really didn't expect that they will use the tree. Rem still super cute, and boy, Subarus expression towards the end when he noticed the dude, was priceless. Can't wait for the next episode. |
Molandero said: KISS... KISS ALREADY OH MY FVCKING GOOOD.. JUST KISS HER ALREADY U FVKING DUMB SUBARU!! Yeah, this pretty much summarizes my feelings in the post-battle scene. What does a head bump even symbolize? |
| Amazing episode! WF continues be so good to this series, even if there somethings I wish they could have expanded a bit more. But as an adaptation it's so on point 98% of the time. shiraha said: Mike4992 said: He still sucks though. Seriously, this guy rejected Rem for fucking Emilia. He might have even died again in the episode because he said that the whale was a reason that Rem died hundreds of times. But yes, I can agree with you at some degree that he has in fact become a better man. Lol did you know that rem is portrayed as very devoted to subaru? the same as subaru that is very devoted to emilia, yet rem get high praises, while subaru got cursed by all rem fans, double standard much? Pretty much. The parallel will be even more obvious if season 2 gets announced. heh |
| omg , i felt so many emotions in this episodes! There's no way people can say that this episode was bad right? right? i mean come on! that scene where Wilhelm was slashing that whale while getting those flashbacks. Crusch is a really good character , i really like her(I honestly think she'd make a great ruler) oh and at this point , i think Ream is the main heroine... |
Does anyone have a higher resolution copy? |

The witch's miasma is being called love by the cultists. Therefore I think it's plausible that there is a certain amount of two-directional love, between Satella and the recipents of her powers. Okay, maybe not fed up, but more like, "Ohoho, you're getting the hang of them, do you, love?" I disagree about the miasma being some form of love according to the cultists, more specifically, Beetlejuice. I think he's just bat-shit crazy. Subaru is without a doubt getting the hang of the witch's power. Him being able to see Beetlegeuse's arms, and smelling worse after every use of the witch's power, are testament to that. I've also read that in the first Light novel the reason Subaru didn't figure out RBD after dying once, was because the connection between him and the witch was weak. And his memories of his prior life were therefore disorientated, as you can also see in the first episode. And yes, you are right, trusting Beetlejuice is not the smartest thing to do. But regardless of his insanity, he stated in episode 15 that he doesn't pay others heed. It's also showed that he is actually quite good at reading people since he calls Subaru out in like 30 seconds. Therefore he is hinted to be both smart and honest. This leads me to believe that at the very least he wouldn't lie. That doesn't exclude the fact that his understanding of ''love'' as you alluded to, can be messed up though. |
KuraiTomu said: I may have missed it but why can Wilhem remember Theresia? Back in episode 20, Wilhelm started doubting whether the White Whale was even capable of killing her after having fought against the White Whale for a bit himself. It would imply that perhaps it wasn't the White Whale that did her in, bur rather something/someone else. |

Hongu said: Also, the return of Julius! Judging by Subaru's face, I guess he's gonna go full autism mode again. Please for the love of god Subaru, just ease up. You've actually been likable lately, don't immediately throw it all down the drain. My thoughts exactly. Please, anything but the autistic Subaru. xD I swear to god, if they make him revert a step back and once again become an annoying shit that makes me cringe every few seconds, I'll be so disappointed. Luckily I doubt that's going to happen, considering his strong development for the past few eps. |

Ah, but that's in the light novel. However, maybe it actually was hinted at in the anime that Subaru at first has some vague memories of his previous loop. DEFINETELY gonna rewatch this anime when it's dubbed. I just pray to GOD that it isn't Funimation (Great voice actors, but reusing the same ones gets tiring) Rewatching should be quite the joy. To pique your interest some more, remember the scene where Roswaal flies off? The stilts and the camera used in that scene hint towards something we don't know yet. I also figured that it might have something more to do with what Beatrice said about Roswaal, after Subaru asked her to kill him in episode 18. As for Dub, I pity the soul who plays the Role of Subaru. Mad props to the greatness of the female voice actors, but Subaru's va is doing great in portraying our main character. |
| This episode was full of win. It was great how they handled the tansitions between the flashbacks and the final attack. Also some of Rem's lines got me laughing so hard in a good way. The only thing that felt a bit off was her leaving because of her injuries. I mean she has superior healing powers and Felix was also there. I really don't see any need for her leaving the group. |

Eh, doesn't feel that off, she's just out of mana after having created a LOT of ice. Therefore, just like Subaru's gate, she's spent. Narratively our Rem is finally safe, and we can concentrate some of our attention on other characters. |

Fun fact: Subaru's voice actor's acting in ep 8 was apparently so damn good that after recording the staff didn't speak to him for a small while. I remember reading about that yea, I think only Puck's Voice actrice kept talking to him afterwards :). I'm glad he's truly bringing out what I imagined Subaru would be like based on appearance. An emotional jackass, but a good kid nonetheless. |

But they couldn't figure out the reason why at the time. We were saying that it was because Subaru's mind didn't want to acknowledge something so traumatic. Like most skeptics, myself included at that point, we figured Subaru was just stupid at that point :) Personally I observed that trauma was brought up as a reason for Subaru's failings more often, when episodes featured the effects of trauma. |
| Im wondering if there will be any repurcussions from cutting down the freakin world tree. That shit was massive i wouldnt be surprised if it had ties to the mana throughout the country |
Around and around the cycle goes. |
| Really ? A Thread without many troll post or even a post with buzzwords ? Thank's God :-; Btw yeah one of the best episode in the series. Great transition , awesome background art . And Subaru really have great development. About how he faces change after seeing Julius, well I will just waiting for what happens in next episode. |

19Pyro90 said: Im wondering if there will be any repurcussions from cutting down the freakin world tree.

If this is ''Literal'' foreshadowing, that means there MUST be a reset. Because the tree is still standing in the opening. And I share your doubts on whether cutting down a holy? tree, has no repercussions |
| dat look on subaru's face at the end thou..I would love to see more cringe from him next ep..XD anyway..this episode was good..mostly because they excuted the fight scenes verry well with some epic OSTs. wait..at what point sending HALF of the mercenary team just to block a gooddamn road instead of having them help with fighting a fucking giant whale sounded like a good idea..? |
| No no no, Subaru. STOP. I really hope he doesn't go all angst psychotic again! He was being so perfect, the episode was so perfect! If he loses his shit AGAIN with Julius I am gonna be severely pissed off. Also, damn RemXSubaru teasing. Unfortunately, according to the rules of anime, Rem doesn't have a chance of ever being the main love interest despite how plain Emilia is :/ |
From reddit: satella calling him out on his BS |

Well, they figured they could get an easier kill on the White whale. By grounding it after giving it their ALL out attack. The army also expressed surprise in both episodes, that the whale was stronger then expected. (Well except Wilhelm I guess) The mercenary team knew about the witch's cult being active around these parts. If they intervened in this battle, it would've had disastrous results. Therefore splitting a sizeable force to deal with the Witch's cult, is smart imo. |
Is this better for you? |
