i was bored for the most part with episode 1 but this one was much more entertaining, Wrath has interesting abilities but she is just so annoying, new villain that appeared at the end looks much cooler though

People keep calling Subaru "pathetic" as if a normal person could shrug off being brutally killed over and over again in horrific ways.

The last time i was this emotive/hyped while watching anime was in jjk s2 and i was not expecting re:zero to make me shout and anxious. Peak. Also i can't wait to see what's going to happen cuz i don't think this is a "lets go save Emilia" kind of arc.

@mozgow While you are more or less right at 1 and 3 as far as I remember, the answer to 2 lies in the fact that Reinhard wanted to keep his attack damage away from the civilians.
@Laplace_kun Well, it was a while since I've read the LN - some details are vague :'-)

I had a moment during this episode that just had me pause and realize how satisfying this show can be.
We had Subaru, who has shown himself worthy of trust, have people trust him implicitly with understanding that he can't tell them all the details for why he knows these events will occur but will help him tackle them.

It feels unfortunately rare where we see someone prove out their worthiness for trust and have people properly trust them at the important moments.

So I was extremely happy with how quickly Betty noticed/realized and how understanding she was. Then to top it off Emilia realized as well and trusted his knowledge while jumping to help.

Not only that but it's clear that Subaru has been and is improving. He may still take a minute to get going after a loop but he's gotten far far better at it and has become far more competent at putting his knowledge into immediate action.

I'd argue he made the perfect series of attempts in this episode. First reset, he narrows down who he can call quickly and runs through the attempt (which was already partially successful). Second reset, he immediately moves onto his backup options (people he wants to protect but feels he'll likely need to involve now) but still gives enough information to them about the first attempt without revealing too much that lets him understand more about his enemy, options and learn about issues calling his plan A for backup or later attempts would cause.

All-in-all, tight episode. Excited to see how the rest of the second reset goes.

EDIT: correction, I forgot his very first reset attempt was him trying to get the kid out of there to give himself more time. A little rough first plan but still solid since he's mostly just trying to get more time to come up with a counter.

This episode was pretty intense. I don't think Subaru has ever

Another amazing episode this week

Some LN Extra Details (Volume 17 Chapter 1-2.2 Partial)

- In this 3 death loop, it only takes subaru back around 15 minutes, which is the shortest time loop so far
- Subaru suspect the 2nd death was caused by cardiac arrest because of the fear stacking and bouncing between him and Lusbel
- At first, Betty thought Sirius' Authority is similar to Nekt, which Julius used with Subaru during battle with Petelgeuse, which could be countered with Shamac, but was proven wrong later on
- Subaru tried several times to reveal his story and power to Betty, and failed because of the witch's punishment, and in the end, he had given up on it
- While Emilia is fighting Sirius, Subaru dragged and knocked Lachin and several people at the front line to the waterway to clear the way. There are also some people in the crowd that can fight and gets in Subaru's way

Differences from LN

- During the 3rd loop, the anime does not show that Lusbel is having injuries sustained by Sirius when battling Reinhardt
- Subaru navigatess through the crowd with using his skill similar to parkour taught by his mentor, Clint and Betty accidentally bit her tounge to save Lusbel on third loop instead of instantly flying to the top.

Self Note

- Subaru's second death is alot more gruesome in the anime and i kinda like it
- The OP and ED is quite nice too.
- This episode's adaptation and pacing is also quite nice. Hope this keeps up for future episodes.
@Homura24 Wasn't the apple knife one the shortest loop? Like 1 or 2 seconds in the book.

Sirius aka. Wrath is crazy. He already demonstrated a lack of concern for life and unfortunately, Subaru also gets dragged into this mess.

But yeah, for a character like Sirius, he's another of how crazy some of the cast can be in this franchise. OP and ED theme songs are catchier imo, similar in style of the previous seasons. Subaru really got his hands full this season already.
@Stark700 Sirius is a girl btw

One thing that annoys the f*ck out of me about Subaru is the fact that after all that he has experienced, he still chooses to do things by himself. He's among strong and competent allies, and he still treats them like helpless little babies. He should really start thinking more like a strategist than a pacifist.

@Sigmar-Unberogen She already could one-shot as a child. Has high physical strength and endurance due to elvish physical traits. Subaru kinda enhanced her melee fighting skills in the one year gap. Her capability to instantly form ice weapons out of fire magic came to be known as "Ice Brand Arts" XD

@Sigmar-Unberogen

She got a lot more powerful after regaining memories and severing contract with Puck. Emilia that relies on Puck was heavily nerfed version, she even froze entire elior forest when child her own strength is much greater.

She also trained in 1 year time skip.

Subaru enhanced it? Damn...

I mean her training during that 1 year time skip would make it make sense I guess. Don't know how Subaru helping her in melee department makes sense though, lol. I bet there was someone else involved too, someone more competent.

Her magic was powerful already sure, but I wasn't expecting her to suddenly be so skilled in close combat. It came as quite a shock. Guess she got more than 1 buff this season :D

@Sigmar-Unberogen Look, Subaru is already pretty good in melee for real world standards, all he could be for Emilia is serve as some template or inspiration for moves like the fluid ice weapon usage. It wasn't sudden. If you remember Frozen Bonds movie, Emilia was already good in melee.

Also I don't think a real trainer would work in a short span, because of her unique personal style.

This gonna be amazing season.

Subaru gonna face most difficult dangers of his career so far, based on opening like 4 arcbishops? For now we've seen two of them. It's already lot of deaths already, this time we gonna make a record until we get to the next savepoint. But Subaru has also A LOT of options, he has entire aliance behind him from camp Emilia, and basically all camps, even Reinheart. This will be deadliest puzzle in the serie so far.

Episode highlights:
Subaru gruesome deaths of course, Reinheart of course because he is universe's main character, Subaru is really just Satella's spin-off
Emilia openly talking about being praise by person she loves
Wrath b*tch completely losing it when she meets Emilia, she was probably lover/wife to Petelgeuse Romane-Contii, she calls herself same name, based on Emilia and Petelgauses backtstory she is the other elf, I don't remember, the mother figure and this is their future twisted self. And she is pissed Emilia "stole" her man, lol.

I'm guessing if Emilia ever had training off camera during the 1 year skip, it could probably be from Wilhelm or Crusch or maybe even Julius.


The alternate reality of the 1 yr skip doing nothing but eating cake.

I didn't remember why I hate Subaru, he's a galactic-class idiot who loves having his throat cut.

Don't call Reinhard as soon as you revive and explain the situation to him before the magic influences you, or explain the situation to Priscilla (powerful), Emilia and Beatrice, no, better go alone to the tower and let the crazy woman hang you.

Dumb beyond his means like Takemichi. The guy has died a thousand times and doesn't learn. You do a physical exercise circuit and you believe you are someone. He is in a world of magic where anyone can kill him and he thinks that by doing push-ups he is going to achieve something, fool, fool, DUMB.

He literally tells Beatrice what is going to happen and Emilia listens to him. He literally says that Reinhard is his wild card.

@godavid10 So almost everything you said is explained in the episode itself. Firstly he only has 10-15 minutes in this loop when he first died he was bit fucked up due to mine control and didn't remember correctly which took him couple of minutes to remember (only his first death after like one year). To call Reinhard he needs Rachins who is near Sirius area (it also takes 5-6 minutes for him to reach there) and when rachin uses flare to call Reinhard, it makes Sirius comes out early and use her powers as shown in Reinhard loop and he did explain Reinhard to best of his knowledge at that time. Also Subaru doesn't know how strong Priscilla is for he knows she is as strong as Anastasia who doesn't do combat.

As for the first loop, anime did Subaru dirty, Subaru actually fights Sirius in the novel, he uses his whip to throw Sirius down the tower before going to help Lusbel but Sirius climbs back up and then what happened in anime continues, him getting hanged.
