Entire episode just for a speech? I mean, it wasn't bad I liked it, but I didn't feel anything special in particular, maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.

Emilia connection is nice. Everyone trusting Subaru is nice. Al carring about Subaru as another normal person was nice. Speech was... well certainly long start, I could do without all that apologizing and self-reflecting at the start, Natsuki Subaru, spiritmancer who defeated Witch cult of Sloth etc something something around it would be enough for me.

But hey, player 2, Reinhart von Astrea has join the game. Now let's the fun begins! We have quite lot archbishops to slay!

Edit: Man this was extended runtime as well? I thought it just feels that way.

An extended episode lessgoooo
that speech was amazing
it really shows how much subaru has grown as a person

Some LN Extra Details (Volume 18 Chapter 2.5-3 & 4.7-4.8 )
- Something about Al reminds Emilia of Subaru after the call is done
- Al complained that he prioritized carrying Emilia's message over looking for Priscilla
- Subaru realized Al's behavior is very unusual lately, probably because of the emotion amplification by Wrath Authority
- After Garfiel grabbed Al, he casted doubt on Garfiel on why he kept calling Subaru `Chief/General` without knowing it's worth and if he really knows why is he calling him that
- Subaru calmed Garfiel that he didn't mind being called that and was used to it.
- Anastasia noted that Subaru is totally off the speech script after the beginning part.
- Anastasia also joked if Subaru was a con artist before he became a knight, seeming on how he perfectly bring people to spirit despite being off-script

Differences from LN
- Emilia's moment with Al is described as flashback
- Fred (Garfiel's lil bro) is sleeping before the speech starts
- When Otto shows up, he wants to high five Garfiel, but ended up being bearhugged by him strongly that Otto is writhing in pain.
@Homura24 Man, I love you every week more and more

As someone not from our world Emilia wouldn't get the prince on a white horse saying.

Didn't even realize it was an extra long episode until it was over. First 15 minutes or so were lowkey a Subaru glaze off xD(I liked Al's part in all of this the most) But credit where credit is due. Subaru was the right one to deliver an inspiring speech with his right amount of awakwardness. Good job, son. You've come a long way.

Subaru is author's self insert and you can see it hard. S3 was cringe from the beginning, with obnoxious over the top characters everywhere and random lolis being every other character, but the lame speeches delivered by actual nobody praised by everyone is just last straw for me.
Sick of paper thin characters just being there to stroke Subaru's rod.

I have no words, Subaru's emotional speech with that beautiful melody and Takahashi Rie's voice went beyond anything I could have imagined for this episode, White Fox really did a perfect job on this scene!

I’m not gonna lie. I was sniffing and crying little by little of that speech. I was really moved by those words. Makes me want to listen to it all over again. Man I can’t stop being emotional or crying. Does that mean I am weak? 🥲. All I can say is that it was an awesome speech and episode. Dang man. I hope that someone puts this as most inspiring emotional speech. And I see this as one of the best scenes of anime 2024.

@TheUnwiseWolf It did raise the stakes. Are you stupid? He has given a heroic speech, now he has to shoulder all those expectations from the people in Priestella. Did you not listen to what Al said? Go watch a shonen, lil boy
Except he has Return by Death, so unless a new save point were to be created after an event that prevents him from meeting those expectations, failing to do so is of no consequence beyond his physical suffering (which hasn't been meaningful since the first season).

@Qalico you most likely didn’t pay attention to s2 and it shows. After seeing those alternate timelines where his close ones had to suffer after him selfishly dying + his promise to Satella to love himself, he vowed to not abuse RBD. This is good since it prevents him from losing his humanity like Roswaal did. Reinhard is also with him, so it looks like from now on, and during this arc, he will not RBD.

Not quite Erwin levels of speech but this fits subarus character, I was wondering if he was going to bring up that he beat a sin archbishop at all.

Also yeah the animation is great now, it really only was the first ep with below average production levels. Which is only natural consodering that it was an entire movie?!

I don’t know what people are going to try and find something wrong with Subaru after this…

The guy went through one of the best main character developments in anime. The speech was perfectly done, so far I believe they really are giving this arc the best justice. I do hope they continue that with next arc as it is my second best arc of re zero imo. However this is really showing why it deserves Anime of the season. I know there are 2 other animes facing it but cmon the story telling, the pacing, the characters, and everything so far has been expertly done.

We are reaching the end of this part before the counterattack part. And I do feel sad, that we will need to wait. But let them cook, I believe they will deliver in the best fight of re zero.

Knew this episode was gonna smack when I saw that it was extended length, and what a fantastic episode it was indeed. That speech was incredible, Subaru has grown so much and come so far since the beginning of this series. Easily one of the top episodes this show has ever put out, I'm so hyped for the next one. We have never been so back ladies and gentlemen.

@BlatantKid I'm not talking about him abusing RBD, I'm talking about him dying as a result of attempting to save everyone.

The expectations placed upon him aren't meaningful if the consequence for failing to meet said expectations is death, because death isn't meaningful due to RBD. The only way those expectations become meaningful is if they're allowed to falter and not be undone by RBD, or he is put in a position where he's straight-up incapable of meeting those expectations.

This was a really good set up episode for what's to come.
I like how Emilia was trying to talk some sense in to 187.
She obviously has some kind of plan for the wedding.
That was a great speech by Subaru, he reached the hearts of the people.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Honestly, this is a 10/10 episode both as an adaptation and as a Re:Zero episode in general (dare I say it's the best episode in the season so far and one of the best episodes in Re:Zero as well)

Emilia subverting the classic "damsel in distress" trope is done so well and it's a testament not only to Nagatsuki's great character writing but to her development in Season 2. I find myself yet again amazed how people can say Subaru "lacks development" when we have so many instances of scenes like this.

He doesn't speak to the people of Priestella as some paragon of strength and vigor; he himself is self-aware of his shortcomings, which makes the speech all the more relatable to the people who are as scared as him. Almost as if he's venting out his problems to them. He knows that they're as weak as he is and he doesn't try to mince words and just tell them "everything is all right" and leave it at that, rather inspires them to take action and help each other out. It pushes the people forward and in turn pushes him forward to overcome such insurmountable obstacles as well.

The episode was nice but not much happened in this episode other than Subaru's speech, which was cringe at first, but after a while, I started liking it.

I wasn't expecting a speech in this episode though, In the previous episode some people were saying that the next episode was going to be amazing or whatever so I was expecting something amazing here, what I got wasn't amazing, but it was good enough so I'm not complaining either, it was a nice speech that got me cringing at first but after a while, I started liking the speech.

Anyway, Reinhard finally joined the party (FINALLY!) so I expect some results in the next episode, it's crazy how all this crazy shit happens in this city with Reinhard in it, people dying right and left, monsters everywhere, everything in chaos and Reinhard nowhere to be found when that red-haired son of a bitch is in this same city which is silly, but whatever, he finally joined and he will start getting shit done.
