| easily a 10/10 at this point. holy fucking shit this was so good. wonder how subaru will overcome the checkmate that is happening in the mansion right now |
I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. |
hayc said: Here is the hintmozgow said: If you wonder what happened to Subaru's letter, there is a hint in the previous episode. can you explain this? i couldnt find anything after rewatching the episode |
 |
| why only 13 eps there are 24 novel volumes the anime used about 13 volumes |
| I dont really get something about witch cult - they worship only Satella, right? But use the powers of sloth/greed/gluttony because they are also her powers, since Satella killed all other witches. Or am I wrong and there are cults for every witch? Also we already saw greed bishop in the first episode, right? Can there be two of them? Cause my theory is that Roswaal is some sort of Echidna's archbishop/fan/lover trying to avenge or bring back his waifu. At this point its obvious that he is deelpy connected with her, having 2 true books that show future, and her library and guardian spirit in mansion, etc. |
| The opinions of people with shit taste, such as yourself, may differ of course. |
king_blyss said: Anime skipped this but during one of the previous conversations with Roswaal, Subaru asks if Beatrice has contract with him.First off, how did Subaru know that Beatrice is contracted to Echidna? Did I miss something? The episode starts and he just straight up says it and I don't know why Here it is how it was in the LN: Subaru asks: "What exactly is the contract between you two?" Roswaal answers: "That's not like that Subaru. We are not bound by any contract" Seeing that Subaru is confused by the answer, he adds: "There is noting in particular between me and Beatrice. She lives in the mansion because it suits her. And me too. The contract that binds her to the Forbidden Library she's made with someone else" king_blyss said: Another thing that anime skipped. Subaru knows that Puck can make the snow fall, but since Emilia is not dead he knows it's not him. He discussed this with Garfiel and they've concluded that another powerful mage, like Roswaal, could do that.and second, how does Subaru know that Roswaal was the one that created the snow? Until now I assumed that it was one of the rabbit's powers but out of nowhere when he gets teleported back to Sanctuary he knows that Roswaal is the one that created the snow. How? |

| This episode is trending everywhere and I know that was expected because... THIS EPISODE WAS TOTALLY INTENSE WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW A million feelings in 26minutes, despair and a lot of surprising plot twist. All time I was posting in whatsapp stories some reactions and things like "NO NO NO NO NO this can't be happening". The total of post was almost 20 post for biggest reactions and some theorys. The Beako part really broke me, since the first time she appeared I liked her, in the last episodes I was afraid that she could do selfish things because of the book, but now... WOW I then I was NO NO NO NO NO NO NO... The direction in this episode was perfect! The way they move the camera in the and was really great and this scene... WOW And I thought that Roswaal told Subaru about the thing before, how did Subaru didn't knew??? Thinking on his obsession with Emilia and what he did in this episode, to make her be lonely and desparate, I guess he is tryng to make Emilia be emotionally weak to one of the witches take her body or something like this. I think that he wants to meet Satella. |

| Poor Roswaal. The little fur balls gobbled him all up. |

|
| NO! NO! NO!!!! WHY EVERY WEDNESDAY I HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER TRAUMA TO MY ALREADY TRAUMATIZED MIND ?!! (10/10) |
| Feel pain, think about pain, accept pain, know pain... Shinra Tensei! |
| This episode was the best of this season in my opinion and the scene with Beatrice begging Suburu to kill her had my heart torn. Also, the tainted Emilia also had my mind put through a loop. |

PendragonX1 said: That was a lot to unpack in one episode. First, we got Beatrice saving Subaru like a G. Then we get Emilia I believe at first I thought she was possessed by Satella I believe now she just went insane. Why that is IDK yet. https://i.imgur.com/uZ5vkfr.jpg  Im with you here. I think the 1st time we see her she's possessed by Satalla. Which is why the I love you doesnt work and the kiss is wrong. Its also why Subaru reacts the way he does and leaves Emilia inside and goes outside. Then once Subaru returns to Emilia the second time she's mentally damaged from it all. My head is still swirling from all that happened. I'm going to have to wait till i get off work at 3am to watch it again. I have 1 big question that has bothered me this whole season since leaving the capital.. Where The F*** IS PUCK! |
| I felt sorry for Beatrice. She's been waiting for 400 years for her salvation all alone. I definitely thought Emilia was possessed by the witch but it seems she's just lost her mind. Is Roswaal a spirit created by Echidna as well??? But he was bleeding at the end though. |
 |
| This has to be the most traumatizing episode for Subaru. Hearing those words from Beatrice and then seeing her die. After hearing about the massacre in the village, the realization comes that he has to restart again - even though things seemed to be going smoothly this time... Seeing the person you love in a terrible state when she's basically a husk of her former self, turned into a sad, insane creature. Finally getting a kiss of your dreams, from the girl you value more than your life - but she's no longer Emilia you knew... I can't imagine how Subaru's mind won't break at this point. This was 100x worse than seeing Emilia/Ram getting killed - he saw her mentally degenerated - at her lowest point perhaps. Too many emotional moments with Bettie, truths, horrors, sadness, hopelessness... God, i hope they'll not end this season on a MASSIVE cliffhanger... RiP Subaru... |
| Well I am out of words, and can't say anything new... This might be the most emotionally disturbing episode I have ever seen in the pathetic amount of anime I have watched. There are so many unknown info (tho some are acquired slowly) for Subaru. Every scenario is a smirking checkmate - be it the Sanctuary or the Mansion or even the village itself. There are still chances of Subaru taking the trials, committing suicide, and then after people of the Sanctuary gets freed, go back to the mansion with an army . Then maybe free Beako to fight Elsa together; leave the mabeasts to Garfiel, Freddie and loli army. This is the only solution that comes to mind. But before that we need ANSWERS. |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| Daaamn the twist at the end was insane. But I will be honest, seeing a crazy Emilia was very refreshing. Looking forward to how Subaru solves this because it's checkmate from so many angles already. |
| What a dilemma with Roswaal and Beako. Both have lived long enough being manipulated by the fate of the book. One wishes to be freed from life of eternity, while the other grasps on every kind of opportunity, be it from the darkest side; to make things right. Subaru has a long way to go to reach Roswaal to understand his true goal. This episode was so hard to watch with all those deaths. Beako wishing to be loved, Garf who died for his love, Rem who lost on her utmost loyalty and Emilia who lost her sanity (for a sec I thought it was Sattella, and then when I realized; it was much sad). Also what kind of abomination is Elsa. She keeps on getting back like a nut case every season. She's far scarier than the Archbishops. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Already said that last episode, looks like endeed emilia is satella. probably her future self of a failed future world. maybe even this one or simillar to this one. well at least that is what i think. So to save satella is to actually save emillia into becoming her. |
king_blyss said: mozgow said: Roswaal doesn't know that Subaru can return by death. He only knows that Subaru can change the past, but doesn't know how exactly. That's when Subaru ask if he's going to kill him. Roswaal answers that it would be counterproductive as he wants Subaru to change the past. He beats Subaru to force him to change the past. That's why he asks if he's already changed it. nobody replied to my question so maybe you can help me First off, how did Subaru know that Beatrice is contracted to Echidna? Did I miss something? The episode starts and he just straight up says it and I don't know why and second, how does Subaru know that Roswaal was the one that created the snow? Until now I assumed that it was one of the rabbit's powers but out of nowhere when he gets teleported back to Sanctuary he knows that Roswaal is the one that created the snow. How? (no spoilers please) Context clues for the first one, based on his convos with her, Roswaal and Echidna. Many fans have been theorizing this for a while now. Notice the butterfly bow she has & the butterfly motif in her eye, along with the tea set next to her seat. Sound familiar? (spoiler alert: tea and butterflies are Echidna's main thing) For the second one, only Roswaal and true form Puck are powerful enough to cause snowstorms, with Roswaal being introduced as the No.1 mage in the country. What other person could've caused it? They didn't show his thought process but that was pretty much the logical conclusion he came to there. |
| Damn Emilia completely lost it, and her mind fell apart in such a small time span too. Ram certainly didn't expect to get disposed of like that by Roswaal just as decoy to kill Garfiel... subsequently Roswaal and Barusu meet the Great Rabbit, crime and instant punishment hehe |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| I had the suspect from the start of the series but since the previous episode and now with this one I'm really starting to think Emilia is Satella or her daughter or something... |
| Amazing episode, Betty showing all her pain and only desire to Subaru was so emotional. They also showed us what happend every time that Subaru went away and left Emilia there, she went completely nuts, she must've suffered through so much to get to that point, and that has happend quite a lot by now, poor Emilia. By the way, that last scene was kinda spooky and left us in a perfect cliffhanger. 2 episodes to go! |
 |
| Holy crap that post-credit scene is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in an anime. Genuinely speechless... what an episode. |
 |
| This is pretty damn crazy, great episode though. Curious how this situation is gonna change. The mansion is almost a lost cause and if Subaru goes to the mansion he risks losing Emilia. Betty pouring her heart out. :( I take it, the first time Subaru got teleported into the snow, it was because of Betty as well? The Emilia scene was just brutal, felt really sad for her. So she ended up that way everytime Subaru went to the mansion instead? Is Satella possessing her or is that really her just breaking completely? :( Roswaal, like damn. The Kiss of Death was just painful. I think I need to rewatch some this season again to pick up on more stuff. |
 |
| So... so much death.... I mean like, talk about being caught in a deadlock. How the hell is he exactly supposed to do this? Cause he can't go back to the mansion cause what happened in this episode would just happen again, and we've seen him go back there like three times now. Maybe he has to send a message to Frederica to warn her shomehow, while staying inside of the sanctuary with Emilia to deal with the trial. Idk man. Ya know what, it kinda makes sense how Beatrice has a contract with Echidna. Would've never have guessed it though. Man I really don't want Beatrice to die. I actually don't want anyone to die as a matter of fact. Also how the hell did she not get Elsa there? Although, no one actually ever dies when they're shot at by a barrage of projectiles anyways right? And don't even get me started on Roswaal. Like damn, the dude really killed Ram just to kill Garfiel. Really need to know more about him either in the next 2 episodes or in part 2. Fantastic episode nevertheless, but god do I hope things go better for Subaru next episode... |

| so Roswaal's weird joker-like voice was all just... an act i guess? his real serious voice is actually quite normal?? Natsu-Yuu said: Each new loop seems more and more impossible than the last. cause each new loop we learn new information that add more difficulty to this level. but on the other hand, the fact that we're gaining information means that we can better prepare ourselves for future events and devise a plan that can accumulate all the formerly unforeseen events. so each loop we're actually getting closer to escaping. Manuchimso said: Damn this episode was creepy af. But im still wondering why Beatrice wants to die and why did Emilia go insane?? I have so many questions lmao. Beatrice has been stuck with her contract to guard the library and wait for "that person" for over 400 years but "that person" never showed up. so she's so sick of it all she just wants to be freed from her restraint and die (and since spirits can't kill themselves they need someone else to do it for them). If you piece everything together, you'll see that Emilia lost her mind due to whatever happened in the trial (maybe she passed it at the cost of losing her mind, i dunno) |

| well that was a crazy episode just when i thought this arc had a lot of issues to deal with at once only to learn there's even more now and it's mostly a checkmate i'm seriously at a lost right now on how our boy comes out without at least a few serious losses Roswaal called me out and maybe most viewers while i was in brief shock and disgust at his actions i didn't grief but hes becoming even more interesting with how untrust worthy and suspect he is didn't realize snow could cause Emillia to get so unstable that went over my head so the whole time it wasn't that a lot of time had passed when Subaru got teleported just simply Roswaal causing it calling all the rabbits with the high amount of magic to add to this i really thought it was someone else to think she'd actually go full yandere reminds me of a certain someone |
 |
mozgow said: guizo- said: He used Ryuzu clones to get there.Also how did he escape them to die in Emilia's lap? I see, thanks! That was left out of the anime. |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Oh man Betty..... I have some theories and guesses... At first I thought Roswaal could have Return-to-death too but he says he cannot start over, I am guessing that the "That person" is a person who has return-to-death and Im also guessing that Echidna told this to Roswaal and Betty? Garfield's death was really shocking. My theory is that Emilia has a dual personality and here we saw Satella (maybe), is that why she could not face her past because she saw her self as Satella? Man this is one Big-brain show, damn... |
