Isn't it more of how Subaru is moving with the Knights of Anastasia and Crusch? Aka Betrayal? That is how she would have seen it, since she doesn't know the circumstances.

So uh, no one's going to mention how and why Subaru was able to speak to some of the members of the cult? O.o Like, what was that about? I got really confused there, if someone ould explain it to me (WITHOUT SPOILING PLS) then that would be greatly appreciated ... Thanks!

Feels refreshing seeing Emilia and Ram in this episode, seems like a while since we've last seen them in the show.

Awesome episode, and Julius redeemed himself for me, he went from my most disliked character to one of my liked characters.
He's a bro!

I feel like Ram's appearance is due to her foreseeing or w/e the show called the ability(you know how it got shared to REM at the start of the witchs cult killing everyone and subaru dying for the first time on this)

we shall see next week(gahh I can't wait)

Since the show likes to subvert and be meta, I was hoping the entire thing with Betelgeuse would get wrapped up anticlimactically. But the new development of Betelgeuse "clones" isn't bad either.

They obey people who have the Witch smell. To be exact, Archbishops have the strongest smell out of the lot, so they assumed he was another Archbishop. Now the differents Sins don't exactly get along, but it is basically ingrained in them to love those with the scent.

It was shown in past episodes. Satella gave him Return by Death which gave him that smell "Love" as betelguese says equal to that of sin archibishop, a high rank in the cult. They think he's one of them, blessed by the witch. He even convinced Betel this ep until he showed he didnt have the gospel

Subaru knows the Unseen Hands, Wilhelm can sense the Unseen Hands through his perception, in general he has huge back up for fighting the witch cult. And they always attack from behind and when no one expects it.

You would think, it's a lot easier now, don't you?

The scary Petelgeuse is back, crazy but his dialogues are wonderful :p Relieved that he was killed by Wilhelm.
Not sure what the Gospel is about, and how Subaru's gonna decipher it.
Also, can't figure out the last scene. Was that some kind of magic spell by Ram?

First, let's celebrate beteljuice's death. he must be happy for that. even his brain was trembling. lol.

joke aside, It suprised me that actually, the sin arcbishops, the sin of sloth, is actually not only beteljuice but even his army too. so i assume, when he died, one of a person in his army will be taking the leader job. pretty insane imo.

lol, and i'm glad that subaru and julius was finally getting closer as a person. not fully tho...but at least bit by bit at time. but...that ending.

now, for that ending, obvious it suprised me. there is no way re:zero won't suprise me anymore. but i have two thoughts after saw that ending. first; there is a possibility that ram might be one of the witch cult, sin arcbishops, the sin of sloth. one of beteljuice. i came up with that thought cause, after she appeared, always before the ending song, the title of the episode appeared, and the titile of the episode is; A flash of sloth. and the word "flash", they put pink color, which is ram's hair colo, in that "flash" word. but it still doesn't make any sense imo. i mean, her power. in just a second everyone suddenly disappeared and time felt like it has been frozen. it's not sloth's power, isn't it ? sloth is unseen hand.

well, from that point, i got another one minor possibility that sloth might has more than one power, or more than unseen hand. but somehow i kinda doubt that.

so moving to the final possibility, that ram might be one of the sin archbishop. other than sloth and pride. envy ? i don't know for sure. next episode will be the answer for that. cause, if you think logicaly again, if ram wanted to meet up with subaru and others, why suddenly all of the people around subaru suddenly disappeared. for what purpose ? and what is the flower which ram was holding ? looks like that was the source of what was causing people disappear. and ram, didn't even look happy at all. seriously, i have got a bad feeling about this.


well, there is still another possibility that ram in the end of the episode might be someone else. but...i kinda doubt that.

and, i just noticed something. Emilia appeared in this episode. and she said that she was fixing the barrier in the forest. if you think ram as one of the witch cult who have been targeting emilia, it make sense. i bet the barrier purpose is witch cult. but from previous and previous episode where subaru went to the mansion, they easly went into the mansion. where's the barrier then ? i don't know if i'm just overthinking it but it kinda make sense a little bit to me. Ram can easly destroy that barrier from the inside.

looking foward to the next episode!!! XD
the ending song is still the same but the lyrics have been changed. and i like it a lot xD

edit: one more thing, obvious, subaru is one of the arcbishop, sin of pride. because of his return by death ability which is given by satella.

Fucking Beetlejuice man, and the potential that there's 100 of him...thats terrifying.

Juli grew on me this episode, but im praying it's not a facade. I don't think it is since Felix told Subaru to make up with him as well.

They showed that Badger or whatever he was and I thought "Who is this Jabroni?" and then the unseen hands twisted him lol.

Wilhelm's speech was powerful! "FIGHT!"

Ram....wh-what are you doing?!?!?!?!

Yes, that too. Although he did send a messenger explaining that part. Though it's possible that the Cult intercepted him.

Great episode as always! It's also awesome to see best grill Betelgeuse again. I really missed him. Too bad he was killed so easily. But after all, Wilhelm is a boss. Though I am happy that Betelgeuse's fun personality got transferred to that redhead. And I'm so glad that Subaru actually got along with Julius and didn't make himself look like an idiot. But Ram at the end... This show loves its cliffhangers.

Sorry, Spirit Knight is just something I came up with. Julius is basically like Emilia, a person who contracts with Spirits. You were mentioning whether the red spirit was Ram, so I just replied. And no, that is not Ram.


Spirit Knight is actually the correct term for him, but yes he's just like Emilia. You arent' supposed to know about his abilities until next week though.

Looks like the flower ram had was flushing out spores that transported him or made the silly soon that he was alone but to those saying ram might be part of the witches cult how can that be when the witches cult killed her ? I think twice suburu found her dead inside the mansion and then once by the barn I think. But then again crazier shit has happened I wouldn't doubt anything since her horn was removed by the witches cult so she could have some connection to it and if she does then what is roswalds play in this since he seems to take care of her alone almost like she's his pawn.

Man this is getting better and better only bummed that there's 3 episodes left

While watching I was a little confused on why Wilhelm could cut the unseen hands, BUT then it became obvious that the hands became visible when the water was splashed. You can visibly see when they become visible to the normal person. I'm sure there was better exposition for that in the novel.

Well Betelgeuse died disappointingly fast...too fast for me to even think he is actually dead. Perhaps he does jump from person to person or something? Now the queestion for Ram is simply...fiend or foe?

On a side note, isn't it really stupid for Subaru to take the 'Gospel' book after being warned that only people in the cult should have those book? If he studies the writings and becomes able to read the inscription, wouldn't he then become part of the cult? .-. woops.


Also, that ending with Ram. It's either Ram being a part of 'sloth' or maybe she mistakenly takes Subaru as a traitor because he has the book? hmmm...

Subaru actually has back up this time and he sees the hands. Betelgeuse thinks, he is with them considering the witch scent and is friendly at first, just to get stalled long enough. Witch cult always attacks from behind without anyone noticing, why would that be? They can't really win against an army of knights and someone with superior knowledge. :P

Subaru has been immune some things that affect others thanks to his Witch's scent so I wouldn't be so sure on that. And judging from the dialogue it sounds like whatever inflicts thse read it into becoming members of Cult is instantaneous.

Don't see anything wrong with build up. Suabru and co had the advantage vs Cult thanks to his future knowledge, so he should be able to get the drop them rather easily. Subaru's group still took losses though once surprise factor started to wear out. But now with possible revelations there being even more Sloths and possibility that Betelgeuse isn't dead, it's going to be much harder fight.
