| Interesting development in this episode. It appears that Subaru is no longer to heal properly after restarting/coming back to life. Edit for above statement: It just occurred to me that maybe Elsa didn't kill him, but knocked him out after taking one of his eyes out. This would mean he survived the bunnies (after Roswaal dies to them), but the bunnies managed to nibble him a bit; this would explain the end scene where he is torn up. Roswaal stated that everything must be cast aside for one person, I wonder if this series will end with Subaru and Emilia being the only ones alive. |

Soviet_Yunyun93 said: Soooo dont get me wrong this season is entertaining but at the end of the day we haven't really gotten anywhere and its pretty frustrating. "we haven't really gotten anywhere" YET....we have to remember that this season was half split by ahm "real life problems" and the fact that we are already at 11/13 and virtually nothing progressed gives us the impression that there is no "real" evolution to a macro level (even tho this and part 2 is literally just AN ARC)...in this moment the "house is built but we are missing the furniture" and without that is like "nothing happened". Don't worry, the things will most likely start getting resolved from now on. I will wait for it aswell. |
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? |
| I liked on the start, but right now, I must say, I'm kind of tired of the show just throw so much questions at the viewer and barely answering them. |
 |
| The fuck? Was Emilia taken over by the Witch of Envy or did she just lose her mind? She was acting so out of character this episode. |

The first cour is all about the questions, the second part is where we will get the answers, i know its frustrating but hang in there. On another note damn this was another emotional roller coaster and it just leaves you speechless. poor guy really needs a big break. |
| So many puzzle solved in this episode, I feel like I'm on the train of labyrinth after watching this episode. TRULY MAGNIFICENT STORY. Basically the summary 1. The turning point of Beatrice character development 2. Subaru & Emilia basically just a couple of pawn from whole Greed vs Envy fights 3. Roswaal pointing out his true intention to Subaru and making Subaru realized that every time he resets he will meet different side of people he know 4. 5. Elsa reveals her accomplice the traitor , no wonder she can get a hold of the village damn I'm so impressed at Roswaal as character. Every time he speak a word it's become a puzzle. GIVE ME MORE THE PUZZLE RE:ZERO I'M SO READY!!!! |
 |
| And this is why I Love Re Zero. And last part was scary af especially with that bgm. This is the best Re Zero Episode and also the best Episode this year for any anime for me |
 |
| I would give this anime 11/10 if I could. If a better episode of anime has aired this year, I have not seen it because DAMN was this episode great! Easily the best episode of this season as well as the series! |

| And here I was expecting things to get resolved after where last episode left. I'm not disappointed though. Beatrice situation is more serious than I thought. Roswaal part was awesome. And creepy Emilia is the best! Z_Paragon said: It appears that Subaru is no longer to heal properly after restarting/coming back to life. It doesn't appear like that tho? This whole episode was one life. After he lost his eye Beako teleported him. Hhe even commented on rabbits scene that it's 2nd day. He finally dies at the very last scene. |

| I think I finally got it Re:Zero, there is a "story", when Subaru fails what was written in the complete version of Gospel he will die, undoubtedly. It is almost like he has to tick some objectives so he can reach a checkpoint and his restart point is updated and until he is able to "finish" what was predicted in the Gospel he will keep dying, it is not like he is making his own destiny, he is unconsciously aiming for what was predestined in the Gospel. |
| Chilling episode. This show is really good at building up the atmosphere and ending an episode. However I feel like they rushed a lot the past episode that it missed many important explanations. I wouldn't understand the reason behind Roswall's actions if not for the explanations some LN readers wrote in this thread, and I'm still confused about Garfiel's inconsistent behavior towards Subaru from last episode.. Anyways, I think the only way they can go through this is for Emilia to pass the trials soon and everyone go back to the mansion = more manpower to defeat Elsa? Not passing the trials might also be the reason why Emilia even went insane. If it's anything like Subaru's trial then it's something personal she needs to let go/solve, but so far they haven't try to solve it. Maybe Subaru needs to help her with that. |

| fuck this loop! I'm loving it, but holy shit... In Subaru's shoes i would have killed myself on the mere sight of the goddamn bunnies. Also how did he escape them to die in Emilia's lap? |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Funny how at this point people don't even feel sorry for saburu anymore. |

foxyahoo said: I With this episode, it's implied ALL the teleportation were made by Beatrice, indirectly helping Subaru. First she sent Subaru to meet Echidna after telling him that he would get all the answers in the sanctuary ( which Echidna can only have ) Second she saved Subaru in the last minute from Garfiel. Third she teleported him again to save him from Elsa. All those three happened using the crystal to teleport him. Wow, I misinterpreted her actions during the Elsa encounter. I thought Beatrice put him out of his misery after his eye was taken out. Thanks for filling in the gaps! ^_^ |
| I know now that I know nothing. |
| I just don’t know what’s going on anymore lmao, I feel so lost |
| God damn another week and another failure. Holy shit I felt so bad for Beatrice. Her just wanting to die was brutal. And holy crap how good is Elsa??? Like I thought she was done for but somehow made it out and got the killing blow. It's still hard to see what Beatrice truly wants. She says she wants to die yet sends Subaru back to the Sanctuary to confront Roswaal. Yeah Roswaal is a piece of shit too. Don't know what his goal in life is but I feel like it has some connection to Echidna. Man Subaru at the end...the suffering only gets worse. God I hope for a good ending next week DAMMIT! |

| What an episode. Only complaint about it was the CGI used for the demon beasts, but other than that, it was phenomenal. First, the scene with Beatrice. Man, I feel so bad for her, being four centuries alone by herself waiting for someone to put her out of her misery, she deserves a big hug. Satomi Arai's performance was heartbreaking, and for someone who is famous for voicing a weirdo like Kuroko, it was a pleasant surprise. Her death, even if it won't stick, was very sad too. That girl (Mey Li or whatever her name is) from the first season being an assassin able to tame demon beasts was sure unexpected (the opening shows her, but I didn't remember who she was until the flashback of her appearance in the first season). And, how did Elsa recovered from Beatrice's attack?! She was pretty much crystalized. I guess she's even stronger of what she seems. The Roswaal reveal scene was the other highlight. It was obvious Roswaal was up to no good, and he finally showed his true colors. That being said, I didn't expect him to kill Ram and Garfiel in that cold blood, not him beating Subaru so savagely (though he would do magic or anything). From what I got from his "true gospel", he's in league with Echidna (thing that explains his familiarity with her episodes before) and is willing to do anything to achieve his wish, apart of being aware that Subaru can change the future. That last scene with crazy Emilia and a dying Subaru was chilling. Both the camera used for the scene, coupled with Emilia's acting eerily innocent to the whole thing and the kiss she gives to Subaru was one hell of an ending for the episode. How ironic that Subaru got what he desired, at the cost of not getting to feel it. Damn. Also, Subaru with that improvised eyepatch looked so cool. |
 |
What the hell is this, a horror eps? it give me chills and nightmare. this episode is fucking well done  |
| I know it's part of the story, but all this repetitive crying always the same characters dying, always a new evil showing up is getting so fucking boring and stupid to a insane degree. Can the manga readers please fill me in if it's any better? I feel like they are doing such a bad job at translating any kind of emotion and it's always the same thing happening essentially, I know it's part of the plot that stuff repeats itself, but the way it happens in is just so nonsensical, I'm not talking about a realistic sense but a storytelling persective. It seems like the person who wrotte the story was like "Then he died again and then these people showed up, then he died again and then suddenly these things showed up, then he died again and oh no, suddenly these guys showed up somewhere else, then he dies again and suddenly he is seemingly not able to return again because he is trapped, oh no he dies again anyway, oh no and then even more bad people show up and oh, sucks but suddenly that somewhat good guy suddenly also kill him, oh wow time for a little story plot to move forward, then he doesn't die is caught in another situation where he seemingly will be stuck in foroever, then he manages to die again, then bad people show up again somewhere else" Like come on, I know for sake of plot you have to writte a ongoing story, but this is just stupidibly boring, if this is supposed to make me feel for the guy repeating everything over and over being stuck in this hell, then I'm surprised he himself has not gotten bored of it yet and just stopped, that would be a more interesting storytelling point. There was another show that handled a situation like this pretty well... this is just not it. |
| Emilia going crazy really reminded me of Satella. The comparisons are seemingly intentional so far though. Roswaal stabbing Garfield and Ram in the heart really shows that the skinny clown has more strength than his appearance lets on! I enjoyed the episode. Lots of tears, lots of bad-ends. Hopefully, Subaru figures it out to avoid all that. |
 |
| The first season foreshadowed Meili as a culprit. She disappeared after they recover the kids from the forest and villagers commented it. --- Know what, Satella is innocent® I am always saying it and the plot provides even more reasons to believe. - Roswaal is EVIL. It is more clear now than ever. - Roswaal is like Echidna's minion, he defeded her name like he is clear one, and his familly always have been there protecting Echdna's lands. That means, Echidna is evil too. If Roswaal is tormenting Emilia on purpose, so is Echidna who ultimately is Ros's boss. I've watched enough anime to know that when a suspitious character is depicted to be soooo good since the start for the MC, it is followed by plot twist when the MC discovers the true colors. Don't need to confirm or deny it, but the evidences now lead to this. |

| Done, hands down..this is AoTY of 2020.. And the top 1st best Isekai fiction of all time.. |
| Hmm so a spirit huh. I figured the main reason for not leaving her library was because she was guarding it but to think she's a spirit contracted to guard it. The conversation between Beatrice and Subaru though sure was intriguing and heavy as well. The choice presented by Beatrice though sure presented a difficult choice for Subaru. Another surprising face that Subaru met previously returns as an enemy. Man the enemies infiltration sure was effective. Though brief the battle between Beatrice and Elsa sure was interesting. But the betrayal of Roswaal though sure was the crown jew in betrayals. Poor Ram being betrayed to her death by the one person she was in love with. Still im really curious on who's side he actually is on. Overall an excellent ep that combined excellent revelation with neat combat and some shocking betrayals. |

| I think that at this point for me the quality of this show pretty much depends on whether the apparent plot conveniences, character inconsistencies, and unexplained events are: 1. Really inconsistencies due to bad writing. 2. Something that will be explained later on. 3. Something that has been explained and I have not understood correctly. All three have happened before in this show, so I'm hoping all of these belong to the second or third category. Being more specific: - As some people have said here, Subaru not telling Beatrice he is "that person" especially when she's the one bringing up the topic. This cannot be attributed to Subaru's mental state, he clearly had the opportunity to tell her and he didn't. I need an explanation for this, we cannot keep repeating the same thing forever, "Subaru has seen some shit and he doesn't behave normally", because if you use that card you can do pretty much everything you want with Subaru and always give that excuse. - Why are the loops so different from each other? The rabbits coming at different times (the snow attracted them but why did not Roswaal create the storm at the sime time in both loops?), people acting differetly, like Garfield and a long etc. In this regard I no longer feel the same as season 1 in which the loops were identical from each other and what changed were only Subaru's actions. The author is probably aware of this, since it would be too much of a mistake to not address this, which means, that little actions Subaru does, even if we do not know which ones and why, it affects dramatically what happens here. This needs to be addressed, too. - Why doesn't Subaru die from the Rabbits this time? It was shown earlier how vicious they are, there is no way he should have survived long enough to see Emilia. They ate him alive in another loop. Again, explanation needed. - How does Subaru know that Roswaal is the one who created the Snowstorm? Maybe he deducts it can only be him? And if that is the case, he is smart enough to deduce this but not to tell Beatrice the words? As far as Subaru not wanting Beatrice to kill the little kid, makes no sense at this point, this is clearly a convenience so Beatrice can let her guard down and be stabbed by Elsa. He pretty much acts as the plot demands, like always. Regarding Emilia and how her behaviour doesn't make sense here. I dislike Emilia, but even I give her more props than some people here. I think it's obvious from both her eyes and her behavious that this is not a case of just her losing her mind because of trauma. There is probably some sort of possesion or another explanation for this. Come on guys, I dislike her too, but even for a badly written character like Emilia there are limits on how bad she can be handled, give her more credit than this, don't be biased. Againd, epending on how many answers are given to the many questions I have, this season can range from a somewhat repetitive but otherwise enjoyable, cohesive and well thought writing to a total trainwreck. That being said, people that have read the novels keep saying everything will make sense eventually so for now I will believe in them and assume that all of these questions will have reasonable answers. If this is assumed, then, this is clearly the best episode of this season for masterfuly building so many mysteries that will be explained later and yes, the voice acting is top notch even by Japanese standards. |
