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.

I wonder how did Elsa knew that Subaru is a shut-in. This is something he left behind in previous world and there is no way Elsa knew of his past.

Note: Please don't confirm or deny any of my theories. I only want to get my thoughts out by asking these rhetorical questions that I don't want answers to. It takes away from the hype. I've waited patiently years for this whilst managing to dodge spoilers left and right. Don't fail me now y'all.

Wow, people are really handling things differently now. I'm guessing Garfiel only wanted him to do the trials when he was the only one who knew that Subaru could do it, but since he blurted it out to everyone, including Ryuzu and Ram, Roswall's confidante, he couldn't do that anymore without consequence. He could've made it so that everyone thought Emilia was doing them instead of Subaru. And then there's Emilia, who doesn't want to turn tail and run. Props to her.

Even Roswall was acting different, he didn't sound like he trusted or had faith in Subaru anymore. Glad to see someone finally pick up on Subaru's ramblings that could clue them in on RBD. More so than ever, I think (theory)

That pause that Ram had when Subaru was joking about throwing her off into the distance, Subaru actually did that when he was trying to get Rem back into her senses, but since Rem no longer is remembered, she got confused for a bit, I wonder if their twin psychic link is more powerful than we think, and that she will end up remembering Rem.

Wrote the above while watching, and then it was addressed a moment later lol.

Hmm, so I'm now realizing that the reason why she's more loyal to Roswall than ever is because she has nobody else, she used to have Rem, but now she doesn't, and that's why she was ok with being a sacrificial pawn, because she had nobody else to live and come back for.

Wow, I did not expect Frederica to be so cooperative after suspecting her for so long. My theory was that

Wait, is Ram using a wand? Probably one that Roswall gave her to channel her mana better, like a portable horn. Maybe because Rem is not around to do the fighting.

Return of the Shamac! Why did he grasp his chest? That didn't happen before...is it because his gate still isn't healed? Or is it because he's using the Witch's miasma for Shamac?

Ram just casually throws Subaru out of the cloud. She's stronger than before.

Wait, so Elsa was roaming around the mansion for two days straight? What for? Looking for someone, like Beatrice? I guess Frederica isn't in cahoots with Elsa after all, unless it's an elaborate act, since we never see her again after she goes off to fight her.

Woah, did not expect Frederica to just rip off her clothes, if she was going to transform, then they would've ripped in the transformation anyways lol

Did not expect her to go full beast. I guess Garf gave the stone knowing that she needed it to fully transform. My theory is that

That's no normal mabeast, it got bats floating around and everything! That's definitely (theory)

I'm going to have to go back and watch what happened when Subaru was floating in and out of consciousness. It sounded like Emilia, but that can't be! Edit: Never mind, that was totally Ram, I guess she tried to save Subaru by getting him onto Patrasche, but looks like they got knocked back by that mabeast. Excellent animation.

I have to admit, I started crying when I realized that it was only going to be Petra's arm. I almost threw up from gagging (happens when I get incredibly disturbed). It's been so long since I cried in a Re:Zero episode, I think I might just cry again thinking that, out of joy. I was thinking this would just be another exposition episode. I should've known they were going to do that to Petra when she was acting all cute for too long. That cry of Subaru's got me. Best anguished scream he's ever given in the whole series. Looks like Ram's hair tie and Patrasche's body means they all died. I think Ram had to cut off Petra's arm because she was trapped under the rubble and Subaru wouldn't let go. Lots of jump cuts this episode. I wonder if those were in the LN too. (This you can tell me about, whether or not those random cuts were LN material or not, which would explain a lot).

Brings back memories of when I watched Corpse Party, when someone was left holding just the arm of the person. That was traumatizing then and even more so now.

Maylie, a new name, very interesting. My theory is that

Hmm...Elsa's client knows that Subaru is a shut-in. Echidona and Satella know about his past. But they couldn't employ Elsa, so who else? (Theory)

What were those spikes that Elsa threw at them? Was it Elsa? That's a new one. Is she half-porcupine? It looked like Ram fully expected her arm to be shredded, but her arm is stronger than the average human's. Plus, she moved around like an animal when fighting Reinhard.

Beatrice saved Subaru. Is it because she doesn't want to see people die, or does she know that she is being targeted and wants Subaru's help?

We all expected Subaru to die and reset, but I'm glad he didn't. Now it's getting interesting.

Tea was next to Beatrice. It probably was always there, but now tea has a new meaning.

Episode was called the Maiden's Gospel. There were three maids, and no Gospel in sight. Very interesting choice for a title.

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?

God Damn I love Frederica even more now then ever. I love how she can control her hair I thought that was pretty cool. Also I LOVE her transformation sequence as well.

Honestly this was a pretty good moment for Emilia as well that will probably be thrown away once Subaru eventually resets. (Unless the reset updates)

Why Beatrice why did you save him? Everyone is toast!

I still think Subaru will reset. Also Rem told Subaru that if he ever saw Beatrice to tell her "Roswall said to ask the question."
Speaking of Roswall my man looked super suspect in this episode. Subaru kind of messes up when talking to him which made Roswall question him in some type of way which makes me think that Roswell has some sort of idea abut Subaru's reset ability.

Hopefully our Crew is safe next week

I still had not time to watch the ep today, but just checking the score in this topic, it is (for while) the highest rated episode of this series after 200 votes.

Even higher than the 4th.

wow, what happened in there? did Sub&Lia already made out?


Just dropping this surprise here, later i came back to read the comments, after watch the ep.

Pace wise how much is this cour going to adapt up to vol 13? maybe?

There's a serial killer in the fucking mansion, but let's just waste our time deciding what to do and to talk a loli into your god damn harem.

Why did no one take out that thing out of Subaru's shoulder the moment they escaped? Talk about conveniently wasting time xD.

Subaru is professional "rewind" guy, panicking is not a choice, it'll make things worser.

gaussian_ said:

I'm not certain they noticed at that point. Even Subaru might not have noticed if he had enough of an adrenaline rush. It's also possible Ram noticed but didn't pull it out since that can exacerbate blood loss, while Petra pulled it out not knowing that or after realizing the wound had become more complicated and was less likely to become worse by removing the spike.

fullofregrets09 said:


Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that part, where Subaru can just ask Beatrice to ask the question. I really hope he says that in the next episode and isn’t blinded by anger and rage to remember. I want to see everything change, I don’t want something that significant to be carried over into the next cours.

but puck isnt with emilia. Atleast he doesnt answer to her calls and not spawning. Also emilia cannot pass the barrier.

Atavistic said:
I spent much of this episode's second half trying to figure out the timeline of Elsa's attack in relation to Subaru's new respawn point. If I'm remembering right, Emilia did the trial again a second time in the previous loop, and Subaru left the next morning after she failed again. By this point, Elsa had attacked and presumably killed everyone in the mansion, giving us a timeframe of up to 48 hours between the save point and the attack (depending on how long it takes to reach the mansion from the Sanctuary, with it at least being implied to not be a long journey (so presumably less than 24 hours away)).
