| Subaru may have cleared the first trial but problem looks more complicated with Elsa's return. Honestly, I'm not surprised that Garfiel isn't favored with Subaru's actions. What's important though is that Subaru is fighting not for himself but for the sake of someone he cares for. Cool to see some Frederica in action especially with her transformation. Elsa hasn't changed much and isn't a pushover. |
 |
| So Elsa attacks during the day, Frederica can turn herself into a beast. Ouch, it's too bad to see Petra, her hands separated from her body and crushed by rocks, is she dead ?! Beatrice why did you help Subaru so late! |
 |
| Damn, Perta and everyone else probably died there, and now Subaru was saved... I feel like Subaru will die soon though, there is no way he'll accept this kind of result. Can't wait for what Beato has to say to Subaru at this point though And damn that 3rd person view from Subaru's eyes when the ceiling collapsed and all was crazy... |
 |
| Based on the episode title I thought it would end a little bit later. But still, great adaptation from White Fox! |
 |
| Welp to be fair he never did get it right on the second run anytime before this but I was real sad when his pet dragon died yeeting him though the window. I find it interesting that Beatrice saved-he got lucky and really wanted to die but now he is in the library. kind of wonder what Beatrice is going to say to him next episode. |
on 
| This s*** is getting better and better, holy hell. |
| I neither agree nor disagree, on the contrary. |
| And Subaru's suffering continues. The way things unfolded at the end scared me and I wasn't prepared to see Petra crushed. Subaru desperately wanting to go to Rem but ended up in Beako's library. Now I'm looking forward to seeing next week's episode. |
 |
| Subaru holding petra’s arm after waking up was something that gave me chills when I originally read volume 11 and seeing it animated was even worse. White fox as usual did a great job with the adaptation and I can’t really think of anything that was cut out today, then again it has been a long time since I read this originally. We’re never getting the OP and ED in the same ep are we? |
 |
| This show really just went full furry. Anyway, I can't wait to see what question Beatrice is going to ask Subaru ("Tell Beatrice that Roswaal said to ask the question"). Maybe it's going to have something to do with return by death. It seems Roswaal is aware of Subaru's power, given as he said "this time?" in this episode and had faith that Subaru could beat the witch cultists in the last episode. Can't wait to see how this plays out! By the way, this really bugged me - why the heck does Elsa call Subaru a shut-in (hikikomori)? He hasn't really shown hikikomori behaviour in this world, could she know about his past? |

| Here we go again. I wonder how many retries this will take. The mystery seems to be intensifying. At least Subaru will have more information the next time he returns |
| Here I thought Frederica's teeth was just for show, or done that way. But no, quite surprised me. Along being awesome at the same time. Cannot wait for next week's episode. |
| Looks like the situation is getting harder and harder for Barusu....also that last minute intervention. Can't wait to see what is Beatrice planning for saving him in that moment. Things are getting really interesing 0_0 |
Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |
| One more episode of Re:Zero and all I am thinking of is... Where were you Beatrice? Why so late?... Really sad to see Petra on this way.. Interesting to see whats she going to say Subaru now... |

We’re never getting the OP and ED in the same ep are we? Pace wise how much is this cour going to adapt up to vol 13? maybe? As for the rest of this, damn it did not disappoint. I like we saw Frederica's beast form and the actions scenes were solidly done too and that ending man i knew what was coming but it was still so brutal. |
| So beako saves him at the end. Lets hope this is not the end of ram, fredrica or petra. I doubt it will be since twins do seem to be very relevant to the overall show. Fredrica's got a nice beast form. |
 |
| we got introduce to a new character maylie interesting how she will play in this series |
 |
| I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that the blue haired mabeast girl from s1 that dissappeared is the one behind the mabeasts in this episode. She is shown right before Elsa in the OP after all. I think Elsa called her Maylie. |
 |
| From the moment Petra said "Oh" we all knew what was gonna happen... cythraul said: So beako saves him at the end. Lets hope this is not the end of ram, fredrica or petra. I doubt it will be since twins do seem to be very relevant to the overall show. Fredrica's got a nice beast form. I doubt it will be too, but my concern is that eventually there is going to be a time where Subaru dies but doesn't go back far enough and whatever characters died stay dead. Based on the writing of the show at least, I could totally see that happening. However, if they were to do it I think they'd give more of a tribute to them and make it more emotional than what happened at the end of this episode, so I at least think we're in the clear for now. |
| Another dope episode. Second time within a week that I saw someone getting crushed by rubble while holding hands. There's also another series with a Petra that resembles the one here a lot, coincidence? XD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| she said meili, i recall there was that one blue haired girl that he saved from the mabeast in s1 was named meili..interesting |
| EMT |
| Woah is Ram gonna remember the other timelines? That would be so dope. Frederica's transformation was great, it reminded me of beast/dragon transformation from Fire Emblem. Looks like suspecting Frederica was a mistake and seems like someone else is behind this, I wonder who. Damn that was cruel, Petra's dead, Frederica and Ram too most likely but woah Beatrice saves Subaru. I totally thought he was gonna die and return. Let's see what happens next. |
 |
| Well Subaru's suffering starts once again. But I am sad Emilia didn't get much screen time. She is so strong and I am sure she could defeat the mabeasts with ease while Puck can defeat Elsa (since it is morning) but of course author didn't include Emilia here :( |

Cravenlock said: Yeah we got that subaru's ability to start again isn't so convenient after all considering the state rem is in now. I can see author killing some characters in the future.From the moment Petra said "Oh" we all knew what was gonna happen... cythraul said: So beako saves him at the end.

| DAMN this episode took the suffering to NEW LEVELS. While Subaru fared Echidna's first of 3 trials succeedingly well, not so much for Emilia whose suffering only continues to trend upward in failure. Not surprised that Garfiel will retaliate against ONLY having Emilia prove her worthiness (even loli hag Ryuzu) based on Roswaal's suggestion (since it is his land). The chances of Subaru getting out alive ALONE, that's not gonna do any favours, but Ram will do as a support, with his "Return by Death" precognition for alternate plans to return to Roswaal's mansion in the earliest as possible to avoid catastrophe in the slightest. It's no secret that Garfiel and Frederica are siblings, but their relationship isn't the best with secrets that even Ram's constant questioning will not divulge. Even worse, Elsa's sudden appearance and intervention threw things into a loop. Frederica, like Garfiel, can only be persuaded by force, and her beast form is tremendous. Even the best of options cannot save Petra from being crushed to death (that was batshit insanely quick) and Subaru only on his last wimps, whilst Elsa clearly is working this under someone's orders. Beatrice clearly a game changer for saving Subaru AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR, her behaviour as unpredictable as ever. No disappointment at all, only more shivers. |
 |
| Based on the episode title I thought they were going all the way to that *point. Looks like they are saving it till next week. These cliffhangers....I—-💀 |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
Crunchyroll can't into subtitles, part 6. |
| So far this is my favorite episode of season 2. There was a lot of action, and the Beatrice twist at the end was so good! Throughout the episode I kept thinking "Subaru, open the door that has Beatrice in it!" Garfiel's change of heart was interesting too, perhaps after seeing Emilia failed twice. he came to his senses and felt it was ok for Sybaru to attempt the trials in Emilia's place. However, when Subaru came back, Emilia failed for the first time, so Garfiel felt she could still do it. On a side note, I am happy Ram got more screen time, the delivery of her lines are very good lol.  |

I know now that I know nothing.  |
| Petra becoming a potential waifu but she died wtf. I just want to see her cuteness again dont kill her please. |
| Ahhhh, we're back to suffering again... This episode has been perfectly adapted and it still gives you a surprise like the sudden Mabeast, Elsa going on a killing-spree within the mansion and... Petra please ;_; The timing of the ending song is perfect and the lyrics really match what's on screen, damn... That scene where Subaru is holding the hand of Petra... That was heavy!! I feel so much for the characters. Also Beatrice 'saving' him at the last second like, what you doing!? Subaru is so mad right now. Next episode Gospel huh? Can't wait for that. |

| Thrilling episode. Very amusing and interesting how the events from this life and the previous life were completely different. And the identity of the traitor is even more mysterious now that Frederica has been ruled out. Subaru and Beatrice chats are always fun and educational, so next episode should start with a bang. |
 |
she looks like a baboon |
| Poor Sabaru. His suffering continues at the hands of Elsa who was tasked with killing the maids that worked in the mansion and Beatrice. I wonder why Beatrice saved him at the last minute? Can't wait to see the dynamics of their conversation next week. |
 |
| Now the pain start |
 |
| Most of the characters faces have been elongated this season. So I’m not surprised. They are shifting away from the “moe” look adding nose bridges and nostrils. The noses in S1 were all dots and characters were rounder. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| I feel like Roswaal is Elsa's client. He didn't seem to question Subaru when he said "this time." Maybe Maylie is the mabeast? Elsa let slip her targets were 2 maids and a shut in so maybe Roswaal wanted to keep Ram alive? She also said she had to time her attack upon Subaru's return hence why I think Roswaal really is behind this. Also, anyone else surprised Subaru didn't die this episode? lol |
 |
| Brilliant episode! All those flags preceded by Ram's glorious shining moments was just the perfect set-up for the inevitable despair to follow... Frederica didn't turn out to be the guilty party after all, as expected. Curious on the Bowel Hunter's client as well. Considering how accurate the detail in the mansion should've been under normal conditions, I suppose that only means that our antagonist might not be too far-fetched. I wonder who... And that Beatrice return in the end, I wonder what that's all about. What would finally force her to take action despite what transpired just moments earlier? Subaru's POV during that whole intense scene was fantastic as well. See the despair and now feel it, that's the message from the anime team I imagine xD. Roswaal's reaction to Subaru's "again" certainly was curious-striking though, is he slowly catching up to the trails to figuring out his strange ability? It's been a hit-and-miss season so far if I'm to be brutally honest but this episode gives me hope that this series is set to make a quality return. |

| It's absolutely fantastic how they can present us with a situation where it feels like you know what will happen, yet they manage to surprise. Elsa giving away some crucial information and people dying/getting hurt made it seem like a guaranteed return by death situation. Ram acknowledging Rem as her sister felt good, yet sad. Roswaal acting mysterious as usual. Interesting differences with this reset, and lots of great dialogue. Ram drinking Subaru's tea was rude! Great cliffhanger, great episode! Looking forward to the next! |
| Beatrice will be everyone’s favorite character of 2nd season |
