I loved the fact that Betty was stubborn during their conversation with Subaru.. She has been commiting to this shit for 400 years if she just said "aight" and left with him after only one good choice of words It would be dumb as fuck.. People saying that it was too long or that Subaru should have that he is that person should either drop this series or rewatch that shit asap

I just don't find myself loving Emilia, she's ridiculously naive, doesn't appreciate Subaru as much as she should, the way he brings people together and keeps fighting, despite not being that strong, is totally awesome. She doesn't understand her feelings for him? He comes to her aid all the time, she would be nowhere without him.
.


Then why do you think she would kiss him? [i](twice actually, if you also count the one in Cour1 just before Subaru died on her lap)[/
If you notice, she continually reached out to him throughout Cour1 and the initial episodes of Cour2 whenever he was around her. Like asking him to hold her hand, grabbing onto his sleeves, hugging him, etc.

She doesn't know how to verbally express it directly or clearly, but she loves him. Given her tragic background (her backstory this cour and her rough time in Frozen Bond OVA with everyone hating her), she has no experience with romance or relationships. Her traumas, social awkwardness, and insecurities make things incredibly difficult for her, and therefore, she is confused about her own feelings and those around her.


She seems to express herself fine with Puck and other characters. She verbally expresses her feelings with no problem at all. In series 1, the episode where Julius beat Subaru within an inch of his life, I thought that she wasn't totally fair to him, and he wasn't fair to her to her either. Their relationship seems too one sided at the moment and she's lucky that she is the one he loves and he is prepared to wait for her to catch up. But, at this stage, Rem, Betty, and even Petra, love him just as much. Which doesn't matter, because he loves her. But I think that is part of the reason that Echidna hates her, Subaru loves her without her having to do too much in return. I will give her the moment when she gave him the lap pillow, but, as we all know, she didn't really understand what it meant. Betty, for all her coldness, feels for Subaru just as much at this stage. It is another kind of love but Subaru has many others who love him just as much at this point.

Petra, Rem and Betty have tragic pasts and don't have much love experience, either.

(or the day when he can finally return back to his real world)

I thought there would be complaints for various reasons.

1: That all the dialogue from that moment in the novels would not translate well to anime as Reason to Believe.

2: That people wouldn't empathize with Beatrice because she was even more secondary than Emilia in S1 and no one would care.

3: That after the action-packed episode people would be mad at going back to what they have been complaining about for most of the season.

Of course I was wrong and I am happy about that.

phenomenal episode but I'm confused why Subaru doesn't just say he's that person, things will be easier lol

"That Person" never existed in the first place, Echidna revealed back in Part 1 that "That Person" is someone Beatrice must choose, it was an experiment to see who Beatrice would choose to be that person. That's why Subaru said "Choose me", and Subaru didn't want to lie to her to persuade her that would make it seem like he's manipulating her.

Great episode as always.

Touching and heartfelt, really liked Subaru's determination to consistently go after Beatrice until she finally chose him to see the next day. The final sequence where they appear next to Emilia was great. Though I feel like the way Subaru was saying things came off a tad bit romantical.

All of Roswaal's descendants appear to look like him, he need mention something about soul transfer, wonder if he actually figured it out. Should be interesting to hear the whole story.

Go E.M.T! Go! I love seeing Emilia doing her best.

GREAT episode.
So Beako get the 'believe in you' insert song, my favorite one. So much emotions, I finally gave it 10/10. Everything gets together. Ram is not dead, I was just about to kill Roswald for that. Every character seeing on screen looks cool, even Petra and Otto that have like 5sec of screen time. Thank you White Fox.

On another note Beako has been conquered so it's really becoming a personal harem. At the beginning of s2p1 Subaru was saying to Emilia he had a 2nd wife (Rem). And now he cheats on her just next to her, by holding the Beako's hand, a few days after kissing Emilia. I don't know how she should reacts to that.. XD hopefully she has social issues.

I couldn't find any answers so I'll try asking here. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or answers as to why the looks of the show are so childish. From the characters to the settings. Like why is it that these evil witches look cutesy and take the form of the child and why does Beatrice look like a 4 year old. Sometimes I feel like the show is hard to take very seriously because of this. I guess I'm wondering why the visuals of the show contrast so much with the content of the show. It looks childish with more of a lighthearted feel, but obviously as we all know this show is not childish at all. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why that is? Did the author just do that because he likes the looks of "loli's" and he just wanted to do something unique, or do you think the author actually intended something meaningful by doing that?


I'd say intentional. Its supposed to be like a true, actual alternate world. Just like on earth, sometimes the nicest looking people could end up being the worst mass murdering sociopaths of all time. Our world looks great on the outside, but the deeper you dive into it, the more darkness you find. Outward appearances mean nothing, even the cutest rabbits could eat you from the inside out

Lmaooooo innocent Emilia


This might be a secret tool that might help us later!


The big chungus is here!


Interesting


Nooooo, Beako :( She literally just closed her heart to everyone while lowkey wanting to be saved


Roswaal swift motherfucker, I don't feel bad for you anymore!



This hurts soo much.


OMG! save her!


It was an amazing episode but come on bro, where is Elsa? She was supposed to truly die this episode when Subaru opened the explosion door.


Yes, that's my girl!


Save her chief


Hearing this was soooooo satisfying! I can't express it with words! I feel sooo happy about her! Beako


Frederica, you're so beautiful!


FUCKING AMAZING!!!

Beatrice wasn't able to kill Elsa because Elsa wore a dark feathered magic cloak that could block magic attacks, however only a single time as the cloak was destroyed afterward (re-watch season 2 part 1 episode 11). Another drawback was that it only worked against spells intended to harm her physically, thus indirect magic Shamak bypassed it.

That conversation with Beatrice was so repetitive and frustrasting, for an old as dirt spirit, she sure is an immature brat.

I never want to see the phrase "That Person" again.

That's how the real world works actually. You can't just say something nice to someone and expect he/she will be listening to you forever. You have to convince her through actions and words repeatedly. Trusting a person is not easy at all.


This would be something if all that he spoke built up to something but honestly the 1st and 2nd encounters should have just been combined and reduced, most of what was said was just unconvincing filler dialogue and her just saying "you're not 'that person'" without going into detail in this loop or actually talking to Subaru.

I also have a problem with the premise of the 400 year promise and her reaction to the book going blank but that's a whole different can.

So in the end, Subaru was faithfull to his name and became star.
Whole ending part when the mansion was falling down and Subaru was putting all his reasoning into breaking Beatrice out of her shell was just epic.

Now Ram... well, it's really sad to see her lifeless like that but it would be nice conclusion to her character. Knowing this series though, this is probably not the gameover for her, the same as with Rem. But at least Roswaal was breaking out of his shell too, at least that amount she managed to do.

Speaking of Roswaal, I really don't get how he still has the memories on Echidna if he's like tenth-one down the line from 400 years ago in his family.
The only possible explanation would be that he was constantly surviving by transfering his soul to his descendants as he was researching at the library.

At the end though, we still don't know the real reason behind Sanctuary and why it was built as some parts were still intentionally left out. Hoping the next episode finally explains everything.

There are multiple Roswaal's. Holy crap, it would be great if the show would explain that...but it's probably going to wait 4 arcs to explain such an important reveal. Because...why not? I'm told Re: Zero is a mystery, but I'm also told it's a drama, character study, psychological, horror, so...I'm just going to go by my judgement: Re: Zero is not a mystery. It doesn't feel like one. But even actual mysteries like Higurashi don't drag on nearly as much, by keeping you in the dark for so unnecessarily long. Yes, the Higurashi visual novel is absurdly long; which is why I found it very boring, and much prefer the anime.

I've had lots of gripes with the monologuing because of how unnatural and unnecessary they felt, but given what was going on here with Subaru and Beatrice, it felt like it made sense; in that the monologuing served as a way to convince Beatrice to get up. And it didn't drag on nearly as much as Rem's monologue to Subaru in season 1 episode 18.
However, it is episodes like this of Re: Zero that make me feel frustrated; this series constantly throws these big dramatic/emotional scenes...for characters the show hasn't bothered to get me to care about.
I mean, think about it; what reason is there to care about Beatrice? She's a quirky, one dimensional, tsundere-esque loli. She doesn't feel like a real person whatsoever; she feels like an anime character. And not even an interesting one, imo.
Re: Zero wants you to take it very seriously; it constantly throws in all this gore, stakes, and dramatic moments, but doesn't bother to give me an incentive to care enough about these characters to emotionally care for them.
While I don't really like Subaru as a character, I found him interesting enough because of his development to be invested in his emotional scenes where he's the center focus. And the Frozen Bonds movie got me to finally care about Emilia (who feels like the most human, natural, character in the show, which is ironic when she's not human).
