Why did no one take out that thing out of Subaru's shoulder the moment they escaped? Talk about conveniently wasting time xD. It was explained in great details in the novels. They were afraid of removing the spikes due to blood loss. Subaru lamented that there were no healers present (Rem/Betty used to heal their wounds both still in the mansion). Another oof for the anime adaptation then. |

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. Of course, if you haven’t noticed Subaru always TRIES to seem calm. It’s a way to try to calm down and calm down others, even if it’s a lie. |
| In another topic i am listing some interesting passages that was skipped from the Light Novel (anime's source) in this season. *This is not Spoiler, just parts of the story already covered by this episode. Episode 6 (LN vol. 11) # Very little, very little point: Actually the anime adaptation fixed the Light Novel continuation by moving the introduction of Ryuzu. - Actually this conversation was not "aired" to us, the audience, in the previous timeline. Just after Emilia's fail, the next scene was Subaru straightly going to talk with Trollswaal: ----------- # For Frederica, a vow is a VOW. (confirming that Furry-san came from the Sactuary) # Ram actually acknowledged Rem more than it seems in the Anime. # In the Light Novel it is made clear that Frederica was not related with the teleport incident itself. # Why Subaru didn't remove that spike from his back immediately # Patrasche's fight and sacrifice. # The final conversation of Subaru and Elsa was slightly different. |

| The suffering is back into full swing for poor Subaru. =( It was a good that he was able to have Ram go with him back to the mansion, where the adorable Petra would meet them and, later on, Frederica would also return. Ram always amuses me with her blunt insults and put-downs and her chemistry with Frederica was really good. However, their time was interrupted when big tits Elsa came along, holding Petra hostage. Thus, chaos ensued, which had our main party regroup so that Frederica could tramsform into a beast herself, which looked really cool. However, both Frederica and Ram's efforts were futile as Subaru had to go through a brutal moment where he and Petra got caught in the blast of the battle from the others, which not only led to him being battered and bloodied from the injuries, but when they showed he was holding Petra's arm and ONLY her arm was present, it made my heart drop. Poor Petra. ='( As Subaru was about to meet his destiny with Elsa's sword yet again, Beatrice finally decided to do something and saved Subaru at the last second. Their conversation is going to be hugely interesting next time, where I hope Beatrice will tell her reasons for saving Subaru from certain death. |
fullofregrets09 said: Natsude_tanaka said: ok now its confusing hahaha so wait the beast that we saw in Hyouketsu no Kizuna is diff to the beast in this ep? and also did meili make an appearance in s1 if so what ep? subaru is not the shut in its beatrice of course and also satella is just another nickname for echidna right? The beast in Frozen Bonds is different from this one, they have completely different character designs, if you want to check back and see. The one in Frozen Bonds is named Melaquera or something, this one we don’t know. They look similar in that they both are quadrupeds that look like animals and are strong and dope-looking, but that’s pretty much it. Melaquera could talk, and it seemed more like a spirit than a mabeast, so now that I think about it, they aren’t similar at all, I don’t know why I said that in my post. ? The demon beast from this episode is the same kind of the beast that was eaten by the black lethal slime in Frozen Bonds movie. Not Melankuera. There is a screenshot of it in the begining of previous page. |

| Subaru is definitely getting better if you look at the events from a gamer's perspective and he's the MC. not the best but the improvement is still there. just remember that at the end of the day he's playing a kaizo level pretty much. I've seen kaizo players play kaizo levels and you DEFINITELY need the lives. you just can't first try this level. inb4 speedrunning |

| The moment the mansion collapsed while Subaru was holding petra's arms i was hoping they won't do a thing where the hands is separated from the body and fuck they did my heart. Petra no, they're all fucking dead. And Maylie! What?! Really great episode, this season has been really great so far and I assume it's going to get even better. |
 |
| why is it that Subaru forgets the advice when he resets? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I hope this encounter with Beako to be the most mature by Subaru so far. In all the others, mostly he was being a joker, or he was in full shock or PTSD (second arc after second death, Emilia's death), and in every, impatient like a child. The set up now is the worst, but also nothing that he was not used before. He surely will gain a big information this time by using the "code" received from Trollswaal. But i hope for the conversation to be something different from usual, kashira. |

Genix said: bluffinie said: Beatrice will be everyone’s favorite character of 2nd season Hmm, highly doubtful. Considering that there's far more artwork of Rem, she remained popular even with the native artists, who would've known who got more prominence in the plot. So regardless of what happens, Rem would still be more popular, being in a constant coma or not. Rem is still my favorite character too. But this is her season to shine in my opinion |
| Honestly this might have been the best episode of the entire series so far! |
| I have a horrible suspicion that he just hit a "save point" by going into the library...if he did then that leaves so many dead D; |

Literally_Pride said: there was a part where where said she had instructions that perfectly describe what happened in the first loop. so maybe a sin archbishop with a future telling gospel is the client. |
davidyodo24 said: So subaru fucked up again, he think he can help Emilia by replace her in the trial, it shows us how sometimes your good intention aren't always be good in others people perspective... The wording is the key here. I think he can convince her about it, but that was not the right way to phrase it. And Subaru's way of explaining things of course is always horrible. He gets it right eventually by trial and error after dying over and over >.<" He could take the three trials to spoil them to Emilia without fully completing the last one. As well as trying to get her to trust him more, open up more to him, and be able to give her hints about how to face her own past for the first trial. He could even do it in a previous loop to not be suspicious about the leaks he makes and then drop some wisdom pill for Emilia-tan! My 2 cents. |

StarAlone said: I did not expect anyone will mention arc 1 here. Nice job recalling that (or did you re-watch arc 1 ?)Above Subaru's order of doing things, I was glad at least he asked Elsa for her master. No idea from which group she is from. I'm sure someone connected to elections as she referred to Subaru when they met for first time as "kankeisha" so that would mean he is one of connected to the case (but again as Japanese beautiful is, we could always understand it as he referred about him as "kankeisha" as he is "one of them, connected to that" and she is from background group What Elsa said back then (it was translated as "So you're one of them") will make sense once you learn who hired her. StarAlone said: This one will also make sense once it is revealed who hired her.Above that i'm wondering why the heck Elsa not only knew who is in the mansion, but also how she knew when Subaru was supposed to show up?! First could be explained by just spy, but second? That would actually confirm she is working with cult as so far (witch afterall..) only they could "predict" future with their bibles |
|
| What I don't understand is how Subaru can't connect the dots even when Roswal told him he is doing it intentionally for Emilia to gain the favor of people in the previous episode. It's obvious that Frederica is doing it for Roswal (and Elsa possibly too) yet she doesn't even suspects him when facing the Frederica in the mansion and was confronting her so painfully about it. I really hope he at least thinks about why Roswal wants the barrier removed. I mean, everything is there just to make Emilia position stronger and to make Natsuki x Emilia bond so that he would do anything to save her (the funny part would be if we learn in the end when coronation happens that she really has Satella locked up inside since very beginning and this was all her plan to get to the throne, Roswal and his schemes to shape Subaru included - actually I kinda expected they disregard this twist early on only to confirm it later but well, it's obvious anyway). Another interesting take is the fact that IF Satella was able to give Subaru his Return by Death ability, a) there was a reason and benefit for her, b) she can most likely see the future and determine which Subaru's action would be the most beneficial for her. The question what actually triggers those convenient save points also never crosses his mind. |
StarAlone said: It might be only me and only because 死ぬ is popular kanji and looks really cool especially for forgein audience BUT! the author do like to play with words and everything else but 死ぬ was written using only alphabet, and キミ (you) and オレ (I (me)) are even written using second alphaphet, katakana, which is often used like that by young people because its simpler/faster/cooler/saucy(?). While 死ぬ by writing it in kanji might be showing us how serious, mature he is right now about it, when giving so serious promises Nice catch, haven't realized they actually used both in the OP. Although it's actually more simple, katakana is used for emphasis, like italics in the text and they made it so that the word YOU and I intentionally stands out. It probably means he'll is willing to save her by any means necessary and it's to show his determination. |
| Seems to me Roswaal is being controlled by some higher order - based on the shine in his eyes? the auspicious King we've never met?. :? I dunno what to think. Interesting that Ram acknowledges Gaarf's crush on her; is it because she got that Oneesama energy? Is that his kink? LOL |
| I think Beako didn't save him. It's just his "RPG-Luck" again - that would fit the running - gag. I do think he's gonna learn something by talking to her tho, before he dies. (Prettys sure Elsa cut him somewhere and he's gonna collapse shortly after talking) As for Elsa. I love this character. She never feels TOO Op, or has some kind of crazy magic that makes her untouchable. Just agility and malice . Loving it |

StarAlone said: AbsurdTurk said: I like how Subaru's new conflict is dealing with the fact that people don't care about Rem as much as he does. It's not something that Return By Death can just fix. Exactly, don't know if you or anyone else watched it so i wont go into details but that's the reason i loved so much Steins;Gate AbsurdTurk said: I also like how Subaru actually seems to be thinking more ahead, than just kinda reacting to things happening. I've also noticed these past few episodes, he yells unnecessary a lot less. In fact, in this episode, yes he did yell, but it was normal given the circumstances. I was actually talking about it with people after 2 episode. After we saw amzing new opening (song wise i like previous ones more though :P) on the end. But this one shows exactly what he went trough, his... experiences Not sure if you do realize or not, that the amazing scene with text being written in he background, is modified version of what subaru was saying in the first season in new opening he said キミを すくうためなら オレは なんどでも 死ぬ (to save you, ill die any number of times~) when until now he used to say like おれが かならず すくってみせる (ill prove to you im going to save you~) (both are not my main languages and to be honest english is quite too simple to translate it perfectly to keep the whole meaning, but you should get a point) The point is they are built kinda on the same sentence? words? well... meaning, but they really show us the change of how subaru thinks now, especially in new opening last that has been changed/added (one that really shows us the impact of his words) "死ぬ" (to die) being written with blood. The biggest difference is that he used to yell it without thinking, without giving any thought about consequences and mainly his actions. He was just screaming 'im going to save you' like a random hero, but it changed hugly in new opening. It all might be just my analyzing too much though... It might be only me and only because 死ぬ is popular kanji and looks really cool especially for forgein audience BUT! the author do like to play with words and everything else but 死ぬ was written using only alphabet, and キミ (you) and オレ (I (me)) are even written using second alphaphet, katakana, which is often used like that by young people because its simpler/faster/cooler/saucy(?). While 死ぬ by writing it in kanji might be showing us how serious, mature he is right now about it, when giving so serious promises But maybe it is just me ;P Hey thanks for these rich curiosities there. About the point in bold, it become clear in this 6th episode. I myself never avoided to criticize Subaru lack of focus and foolish personality. But now he is practically the Cautious Hero. lol  Now he is legitimately doing the best he can. If we call him "useless", it is just the honest and objective conclusion due to his lack of "superpowers", since he is just a weakling. The only special power of Subaru is gather information and restart after dying. Until there, until the information be enough to deal with the pwerful menace, he always will be weak and "useless". |

| Better than all the previous episodes combine. This is the rezero I was missing. |

QcDiablo said: mfqxe330 said: I mean, he's making the call to go back and fight to save Rem yet he did nothing at all lol He expected to arrive much earlier than Elsa and see if Frederica was the culprit, but Elsa was told to kill the people in the mansion right before Subaru arrived himself. You can see that Subaru arriving earlier messed up Elsa's plan so she had to get the help of Meili and the mabeasts to be able to kill everyone efficiently. I'm talking about later on, when Ram, Frederica, Petra and himself manage to get out of the mansion. He makes the call to go back and save Rem placing Petra in danger, I know at this point that he has been like that since S1 but still, I can barely bear with him lol |
swordmaster2551 said: So Frederica and Garfield are half-siblings right? That's how frederica was able to leave sanctuary without freeing the rest of them, she's not mixed? It is a huge "Plot Hole Flag" that i hope Tappei to be able to avoid. A Plot Hole Flag happens when even with the Suspention of Disbelief, the story made a certain rule or logic scenario to be so clear, so right, that it restrains the author from came with too convenient artifices to solve or change the situation. So many authors just ignore all what was previously taken seriously in the plot and force a solution up from the sleeve, with convincent EXCEPTIONS, or Deus Ex Machina, or new elements that could be introduced earlier (for example "what? Now the beast-races can teleport?) The rules of the Sanctuary are clear: - Half-blood cant leave with their souls. - It is like this since hundreds of years. But now we know that Furry-rica came from the Sanctuary and is Garfield older sister. My GUESS: - A simple explanation could be "Fred and Garf was not born inside the barrier". But it also was eliminated since we know that Garf can't do the trials for being born there, and Fred came from there. - So, with a little plot hole, Fred is just an empty body occupied with another soul, since she died after leave the barrier, maybe for accident. And her "misterious master" (could be Roswaal? It would be another plot hole, since contradicts some of his actions) is the one who granted her actual life. ------------------ Btw, another huge Plot Hole Flag is what Roswaal knows about Return by Death. Come on, since the last episode we can just assume that he knows all the shit about it, and is openly conducting his acts to force Subaru to use it. Come with another explanation fatefully would let plot holes all over the way. |

skyUFO said: 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... Indeed, i got Jojo and Demon slayer vibes. It was so clean too, love the detail they put into splitting his vision being clean with the blood. |
