| Honestly, Subaru laughing at his own inability to recognize that Otto was his friend and eventually telling him that Otto is most definitely his friend has to be one of the best written scenes of this show. Subaru finally realizing that he has a friend that he can rely on. |

mozgow said: Atavistic said: Beatrice's Gospel is a different one. Subaru only showed her his (the one he got from Petelgeuse) but never gave her. It still should be with his belongings in the Sanctuary.Now, while I'm sure that's at least partially a lie - as Beatrice has shown tsundere traits before and clearly cares for Subaru on some level (in this very scene, in fact, she not only heals him a little but also stops him killing himself again) - I have to assume there's at least a kernel of truth in it, not least because we've already had strong suggestions about Beatrice having ties to the cult when she seemed to mourn Betelgeuse's death (and get angry at Subaru for causing it). And that's the problem, as I don't see how it can possibly be true that she's always been acting based on the Gospel, or that she is at all. After all, she only just received the Gospel from Subaru at the start of season 2 and, having never left the library in the "successful timeline" (i.e. the timeline everyone besides Subaru is aware of), it's not like she had any means of accessing it beforehand when it was exclusively in Betelgeuse's possession. It seems anime-onlies did not notice something important in this episode, yet. I hope they won't curse me for posting those screenshots... Here are two screenshot from this episode. There are safe but I've used spoiler tag because there are two of them and then other two in the second spoiler tag. And here are two other. One from episode 30 and one from this one. No LN spoiler, just screenshots from the anime. But they might spoil something anime-onlies would like to not know yet. Thanks for bringing it up. I caught it as soon as she said it but wasn't going to bring it up didnt want to spoil anything for anyone else later. I had to stop the episode and go back and check the other one to verify my thought on it. I was really shocked the moment she made the swear. |

Irenesharda said: who HASN'T almost killed or actually killed Subaru because of the Witch's scent on him? Emilia. Oh from that I wonder, does Echinda smell the scent on him ? If she does, like isn't she the witch of knowledge or something? So does she know about Subaru's power of repeat? |

| The final scene with Otto really made me smile. I thought that he would betray Subaru on the spot actually but holy heck. That was way too wholesome. |

| I'm surprised the story flows so well at the pace they're adapting the LN's. Haven't read them so perhaps we're missing a lot of information, but definitely not noticeable to me as an anime only. Props to White Fox. Tbh, I thought there'd be a bit more to this episode. Kind of felt lackluster compared to the rest of the season. I'm surprised they didn't include the OP though, since Subaru being stuck blindfolded and tied up felt a bit drawn out. |
 |
| I already knew that anyone in this show can turn into a psychopath at some point and kill Subaru on the spot, so I was expecting for Garfield and loli girl to do something like that Anyway he's already 3 days late, so there's no way he can save anyone at the mansion and fix things at the sanctuary. He will probably have to reset again |
 |
| Still, am i the only one who sees the tall Death Flag that this episode has raised over Otto-kun? It may be a reason for an eventual reset, aside the tragedy in the mansion. |
 |
| It was a fantastic episode. Every episode is full of surprises. |
| Hopefully no one missed the post credits scene, Garfiel was changing into what seemed like a different beast than the one like Frederica, Hopefully with Ram with them they can save the people at the mansion. I don't quite remember but Subaru had given Betty the Greed's Gospel right? So he is saying that it is different... Like a Different Witch's Gospel? Anyways it was really good this episode, but then when they showed Subaru being pushed back and forth when Garf was tying him up XD lol |

Rob7 said: Still, am i the only one who sees the tall Death Flag that this episode has raised over Otto-kun? It may be a reason for an eventual reset, aside the tragedy in the mansion. Oh shit yeah, When Anime suddenly makes a side character very VERY likable and close to the main character that does happen and it pains me to type this but, you might be right WAHAHA Brotto! |

| Holy sh*t. The first opening of the episode was powerful. The accompanying music also helps with the tension that is going around with the story. This makes me love Re:Zero more and compels me to read both Light Novel and the Web Novel.I also like the part with Otto and Subaru. Things had changed, huh? Ram smiling at the end of episode was a bonus too. It seems that things are a lot more complicated now, since there are always barrier when it comes to fulfilling Subaru's desire such as being the subjects of trial. I can't wait how this conflict would be solve. |
 |
| Another thing to praise about this series, in special for its DIRECTION, is how they avoid to spend screentime with OP and ED. NONE episode of this season so far lost minutes airing both OP and ED in the same episode. Or we have the OP, or the ED, and some episodes had neither. That is great to save time for what really matters. - and at the same time not lacking to have OP or ED, as some other few series did, cause they are important to every anime. Ep. 1 (none) Ep. 2 - OP (just in the end) Ep. 3 (none) Ep. 4 - ED (no opening) Ep. 5 - OP (no ending) Ep. 6 (none) Ep. 7 - ED (no opening) Following this logic, in the next episode we will have the OP, and perhaps no ED again. That is how you do an anime of respect. |

| How dare Barusu yell at best girl Beatrice! You deserved getting stabbed by Elsa as punishment! D: Also, ngl, Otto seemed highly suspicious saving Subaru. I thought he was gonna stab him or something. |
| 臭い- |
| Yoooo I hope that this is the timeline that stays. Subaru could really use a dude friend. Plus Ram is acting like a total badass. I love that ending. |
   |
| Half questions answered and more came in this episode I guess, why is there always the same ratio so nothing ever gets totally answered? heh, I answered myself. Anyway so we know why Garfield was totally okay with subaru passing the trial the first time and he said "no" the second time plus he didn't give him the pendant immediatly when he left: cause of the miasma. I sure hope Subaru will not have a 1-2 minutes monologue next episode about that though. |
 If it ever gets lower than that, consider me dead. |
| So, does Gar and that chibi witch have any ulterior motive to not make Barasu go through that trial???? |
| The scene between Subaru and Beatrice was really powerful. I don't think we've seen Beatrice so full of emotions before, from getting so angry during her heated argument with Subaru and then looking horrified as she watched helplessly as Elsa (yet again) kills Subaru. I think this really shows that Beatrice does care about Subaru a lot. It's just a shame that Subaru never uttered the words that Roswaal told to to say, though... Thankfully, the checkpoint remains the same, but his witch's scent has been caught on by the sanctuary protector and Garfiel, with the latter knocking out Subaru and throwing in the a cell, with the following scene with Garfiel explaining his reasons as well beating up Subaru, too. =( Then steps up the MVP of this episode, Otto. Despite being told by Garfiel to keep his mouth shut, Otto thought otherwise and went out of his way to rescue Subaru. Their scene was excellent and even funny with the way that Subaru teased him when Otto called him his "friend". XD Not just that, but Ram is also helping out to make sure that Subaru gets out of the barrier. However, Garfiel now knows that Subaru has escaped and will be transforming into his own beast form, I presume. The next episodes is going to have my nerves on the edge of its seat again, as always! ^_^; |
| Just that argue moment between Subaru and Beatrice... |
Usaka_ said: I have a question about RBD. The times where Subaru yells out about RBD, like in the woods to attract the dogs. Or durring the fight with the Whale and a few other times, and then he yells "I'm Back!" Afterwards. Is he actually dieing and returning or is the Witch just messing with his heart? I would assume its death because this is what ups his miasma level. But hes not returning to his start point. So its a bit confusing. I can see instances where it could be both. The only issue is when he really dies and goes to his reset point before the current events. While its obvious he's just trying to build the sent to attract the Mabeast he's fighting, its not really clear what's happening to him. Can someone shed some light on what's actually happening please? I think that the miasma explosion is something that happens everytime that Satella's magic or curse is activated, no matter if it is the RbD, or just to ensure the "silence" clause. It is a residue of the magic. Would be too extreme to think that he was killed everytime that he loudly spoke about his curse, and it would open unecessary plot holes like "why this death dont reset time". |

| Beatrice looks quite sentimental at the start of this episode.. Almost crying to Subaru's blaming, which to outsider would really have to look like incoherent blabbering, him being in stress of loss and being suicidal, really.. That's how it should look to Betty.. And also she's sentimental with the book.. Wait, so.. If Beatrice not acting out of character.. Cause it really as if feels like she does.. So she follows what is written in the book - in the Gospel?.. What?.. Meaning of her life, purpose of her, she says.. And Betty also mentions some Mother.. And doing things for her as well.. Alright.. Well, all this scene before Subaru's death.. It's all very strange, to be honest.. Beatrice really acted out of character there, I suppose.. Was she that stressed by Elsa being right nearby?.. But she didn't act like this before, when she fought with Roswaal, for example.. I don't know.. It all feels out of character for me, really.. The emotions and thought process Beatrice showed.. Like sadness of being blamed by Subaru?.. Now out of all time clinging to the book, showing sentiments to it?.. That's all very strange and feels out of character for me personally.. Also it kinda doesn't mean anything, what Beatrice said.. She's related to book, but really she was reacting emotionally very questionably.. So I'm not too sure about all her life being according to book, and not caring about anything more at all.. I mean, she reacted strangely emotionally to other things I mentioned above.. I'd be more willing to believe that book is indeed important to her, but also other things might be as well.. I wonder, if with death counts Subaru's "Witch Smell" quantity rises.. Also Gluttony might be combining with him as the second option.. So much suffering Subaru went through.. I wonder, how he's not giving up at this point, really.. He really loves Emilia and cares about other people, hm?.. Or strong sense of responsibility?.. Still, so much he's going through.. It's a bit impressive how he still goes on.. He wanted to give up and felt despair before.. And I'd get into this again, really.. Oh, Subaru got first friend! A bro! Man, that's nice.. ;P Subaru got first male friend, that's actually a lot.. With how he maybe haven't had any friends before.. Hm.. Beatrice really looks quite suffering and as if tragic character in the Ending.. Hm.. I don't know.. For me personally it comes a bit out of nowhere.. I mean, I like Beatrice myself.. And she could have hidden emotions before, if that was the case.. But it didn't look like so.. Her suddenly becoming crippled, and broken with everything.. It really is a twist in her character, whether for better or worse this is.. For now not much is revealed, and there is possibility to write both her past and present characterization together.. Though, probably author won't talk about it at all, or only will say something about "holding things in", or will imply that, I suppose.. Still, it really feels a bit out of nowhere for her personality, and how she was holding herself.. I hope we'll kick Garfiel's ass eventually.. Dude's attitude is really annoying to me personally, to be honest.. |
| Otto best girl atm |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| noooooo i did not see that betrayal coming!!! so glad Otto is on his side! Best boy Otto!! |
| I feel like every episode just gets better as it goes, I can't stop obsessing over this anime. The opening scene was great but I was looking forward to Subaru asking "the question" that Roswaal mentioned in a previous episode. I wonder if this path will get him out of the loop, or if his respawn point changed to him being tied up in the prison cell. Can't wait for the next episode!! |
