Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 3rd Season Episode 4 Discussion

What in the F was that post-ending song scene with Emilia. If I wasn't already so invested in Rezero already mighta just dropped it because of that...

Nonononononono, why is she naked? I can’t handle this someone please tell me Emilia doesn’t get/wasn’t violated. I don’t care about spoilers please just tell me, I can’t emotionally handle this she is a precious innocent girl and the whole point of the series is she needs to make it out unscathed.

Subaru looked like a grown up, trying to calm down Garf, but then 1 minute later he can't hold his hissy pissy down bc he saw gluttony, what a hypocrite, also why did he need to hold Crusch on the magic elevator? She seems to be able to hold her own.
Good episode though, not sure why the 2 masked archbishop were masked though, maybe author didn't have their designs yet when this arc was coming out in the LN.

@SteelingMax Lots of bs spouted, especially the last sentence which is absolutely braindead. But I don't expect any better in MAL forums, so lets ignore that.

Subaru didn't want to teach Garf a lesson, he just was there for Garf and wanted to stage a trap for Capella, but no one was there to calm him immediately against Roy. He was reasonably calm tho.

Crusch has acrophobia.

@Laplace_kun 1- When was Crusch's phobia ever mentioned?
2- Never said Subaru was trying to teach Garf a lesson
3- he wasn't reasonably calm and there were two people with him.
4- Braindead? it was just a guess, stuff like this happens constantly, where you have to introduce or tease a character or skill but the designs aren't 100% ready yet, so you show them only in silloute or give them a temporary costume to cover it.

@Raingamma they mentioned about hostage situation and Priestella drainage control

1. Anime didn't mention it, but hinted it during the White Whale fight and here when Crusch just glomped Subaru when he asked to hold tight.

anyway I thought you'd figure out the main reason behind Subaru taking her with him by now. Memories gone. Talented, strong and skilled - but experience negligible. In this situation, Subaru is the fastest thinker.

2. Then you couldn't call Subaru a hypocrite. Because he wasn't teaching Garfiel to be calm.

3. Ever heard of revenge? Garf was affected more by Capella's words. Subaru was waiting for a long time to meet Glutonny. At the end he didn't fall for any taunt, he's taking a step. And we didn't even see events like him charging blindly, so false accusation from your side. He's angry, definitely.

Also, two people were with him, but did they do what Subaru did to Capella within the episode?

4. Kinda braindead, because:

4.1. You are assuming both of them are archbishops, then making the conjecture.

4.2. If they are cult members, then letting them give away their masks is like asking a priest to dump his cassock in a church

4.3. This arc has been written years ago, if the author had such issues, the anime adaptation would have figured that out by now.

4.4. Re:Zero having mystery elements already provided previous examples of intentional unrevealing of face.

If the Witch Cult has this much power cant they simply take over the world pretty much ... i mean they conquered a supposadly big heavily guarded city within 15 minutes ... i mean arent this warriors supposed to be like the cream of the crop the strongest in the world ? If they deal no damage to small fry of the witch cult how are they supposed to even pretend to win against archbishops ... plus apparently dragon sin is immortal or something, unless red hair dude carries they gonna get destroyed easily

@SteelingMax let's see... 1 is almost a vague question thrown at me, 2 is the usual "you don't know" jibe, 3 is a typical exaggeration for staying stubborn, 4 is just beating a dead horse.

1. Yes, if the source of phobia is not strictly related to past trauma. What I added later actually adds to the discussion because you said "Crusch can hold her own".

2. Hypocrisy: behavior that doesn't match a person's claimed opinions or moral standards. [Oxford advanced] Here Subaru expressed no opinion nor is he setting a standard.

3. Garf literally was launching in response to a verbal taunt from a person who did'nt even harm Mimi. Subaru was unleashing his anger and determination at the cause of one of his biggest source of losses.

4. Then it was your assumption and speculation issue? Knocking straight on the author's door on first opportunity feels irrational. Even with the knowledge of a possible "shock reason", you work with the least probable variables.

gotta say, why are they giving a dragon such a lame voice? sounds like some annoying loli

@silversain2 no way bro just called Aoi Yuuki lame 💀

@Gilgameshuu

i had to take a look at her page an see what she has done an turns out i havent seen much of her work, that aside gotta recognize that a dragon that has the voice of a loli isnt cool, its kinda hard to take seriously

@Laplace_kun amazing this guy actually keeps doubling down on point 4, it's so damn moronic, though i guess it makes sense seeing he's the same guy who made that braindead "i used to like re:zero" post a couple weeks ago. nice taste btw

@mohamedo_abuduru

What's so wrong about @SteelingMax 's point 4? We're talking about a show that tries to hide the fact that the Archbishop of Greed is in the city (in episode 1) by **not drawing his eyes**.

Point number 4 is not fucking moronic. You and Laplace_Kun are just a bunch of sourcerers who can't keep information you've learnt from outside the anime to yourself.

Archbishops are coming out the wazoo. Why can't there be two guys who are Archbishops but the author hasn't come up with a name and face for?

Subaru looked like a grown up, trying to calm down Garf, but then 1 minute later he can't hold his hissy pissy down bc he saw gluttony, what a hypocrite, also why did he need to hold Crusch on the magic elevator? She seems to be able to hold her own.
Good episode though, not sure why the 2 masked archbishop were masked though, maybe author didn't have their designs yet when this arc was coming out in the LN.

@JBCena If you're curious to know...

This post is also for everyone who wonders/fears what will happen to Emilia and wants to have an answer quickly.
Otherwise just wait for the next episodes.

Might be just a memory hole but as a WN/LN reader I feel like this is the first time I've ever heard of Divine Protections being brought up in the anime adaptation of R:Z, it just seemed really sudden and mildly shoehorned in to me. Just wondering if there is a moment in s1/s2 where they are explained, because I was wondering why they were brought up as is a plot point that, through some rewriting and omission, could still make perfect sense, though maybe a bit incongruous; at the same time though some other story beats just would feel too contrived unless the system of DP's was established previously. ( i.e

TLDR am i dumb or were divine protections just introduced this episode as a result of cut content from prev seasons

@QuoteMAL wdym, DPs were already established in the anime since season 1, specifically the end with Otto. Additionally, Otto's DP got further context in season 2 and Garf's was introduced as well in the same season.
