Honestly as always I loved this ep as the one be4
But what I liked how Okamato did great job showing Garf emotion
I loved the interaction btw Ram and Garf but he is dumb he didn't realize, and great job that they show his test and didn't let for next ep

And I wonder where is his dad (garf's)

Finally the clash with Garfiel is over. The fight scene with Subaru and Garfiel was pretty cool.I also'd enjoyed getting to see some of Garfiel past. Hopefully we get a opening and ending next episode.

Holy shit. This episode is a fucking blast. Subaru has the Invisible Hand ability unlocked? Something tells me Subaru is gonna be a tough one.

Edit: Wait a minute, the cracked screen. What the hell happened there?


The cracked screen means he finally completely shattered his magic gate (which was already pretty beat up after Season 1). So he might've gained the Unseen Hand but he can't use magic anymore ever. The cost of victory.


So he can't use any "debuffs" abilities, right? Like the smoke. I'm easily lost so I need some explanation. Does that also affect his "Return from Death" ability?

Emilia is a half-elf. She's called Witch of Glaciation for spoiler reasons*. Echidna called her witch's daughter which means her mother was a Witch (obviously :-P)

"Debuffs", as you call them, are spells associated with the shadow element that Subaru has affinity with. Breaking his gate means he will no longer be able to cast any spells, not just "debuffs". Unless he returns by death to a point before that happened, that is.

It does not affect his RBD.

It did not clarify anything for me (and I've read the LN till the end of volume 22) :D

Which Witch's daughter is she?
How is it possible since all the Witches we know of were long dead or sealed before Emilia was born?
How does Echidna know about it?

The "desperate moment" line is what makes me think he's referring to Subaru tagging up the inside.

Aight just finished it
The scene where emilia said to subaru that theyll have to talk later about the thing made me chuckle but also😉😉😉😉, our boy garf is traumatized but the boi is managing it, also p u c k. The ending with emilia admitting shes the witchs daughter made me kinda shocked that like shes that intimate with her but it was expected ngl, i guess now the puzzles have fallen into place why she asked subaru to call her satella in the 1st ep and maybe why the witch chose subaru to have the curse
God im so tired its fucking 1 am i gotta sleep
Anyway ep was heartwarming af, we stan, sleep time nau

Great episode again, they've really been nailing all the episodes this season.

I had a good laugh when I realized Garfield was just 14, somehow his insecurity and problems made a lot more sense after I realized that. xD

Subaru cheering on Emilia with all those words of encouragement on the wall was a really nice thing do, I guess that helps us know where he went and why he broke his promise, but the guy could've timed it better to make the best of both worlds.

So Emilia is Satella's daughter? I knew she had to be related someway, I loved her intro to Echidna. Can't wait to see what our Frozen Witch is gonna do next.

Patrasche is the real MVP, deserves a medal.

Also, my girl Echidna is back! Hope we see more of her. Good to finally learn some stuff about Emilia this season outside the Frozen Bond ova that I still haven’t seen. Frozen Witch, ey? Cool title. First two episodes of this part I was eh on, but now I’m hyped

oh, so that's what baka barusu was doing when he left Emilia alone lmfao

him taking that punch and not moving was quite cool tbh
for a moment i thought he was gonna say "i can return by death" but i guess he wasn't trying to kill him :v

humm, was that Puck inside that stone? wonder if we will see him again :o

Emilia looked even more beautiful when she was leaving, with that light behind her <3

pretty funny to see her confidence pointing at Echidna, after she tried to make her mad

Well, have to admitt they fixed the issue from the last episode of Subaru breaking his promise rather decently with all those encouraging writings on the wall of the Sanctuary.. although I still can't shake the feeling this was only done for story purposes for shock value rather that from Subaru's POV. He still did that not becuase she loved her but because it needed to be done, that's quite difference. And although I still believe they could have done better job with confession scene in the last episode, at least some of the things were corrected.

Didn't expect Garfiel to be young chuunibyou though, funny that he is actually younger. But I don't quite understand how Puck hiding himself into the crystal worked and WHY the fuck Emilia didn't react to his/her voice? Also, Subaru really boasted himself to fight man-on-man with each other yet in the end he just used his own witch power? (talk about hypocritical deus ex machina).

Can't wait for Emilia to meet her mother witch, Echidna can be formidable enemy and I'm really looking forward to their interactgion but she really need to face her lookalike there, and Satella is already waiting.

Same man. It feels like there's literally been no plot progression since the start of season 2 (15 episodes so far). Just them going to the sanctuary so that Emilia can go through a trial while people taking turn being crybabies.

puck and Subaru obviously planned something, which will be explained later


Now why would you think Subaru of all people would go so far to help someone just because 'it needed to be done' and not heavily based on his kindness? it's like you're talking about a completely different character

Except Garfield could be removed from the story and it wouldn't change anything. He could be considered filler if anything. They could've shown Emilia facing her own problems herself and actually grow as a person, but she instead rely on being entirely dependent to Subaru yet again showing no growth whatsoever.

Hum, because he's exactly just here as an obstacle in Subaru's way that does nothing but halts the main progress. The writer could add a hundred « villains » inbetween the goal of the arc and they would be considered filler if all they did was halt the main protagonist progress and not change the overall main plot.

Good, but that wasn't really the main issue I was raising though. 15 episodes without the feeling of having any progress made is the problem for me. Season 1 was going forward almost every episode. Season 2 has yet to move forward is pretty much what I was saying. I'm not really questioning Garfield as a character being there, but did they really need to make so many episodes about him blocking Subaru's path? He could still be used as a relevant plot item later either way. Anyway, I'm still watching the rest of the season regardless.

For me the problems you have with season 2 is why I like it. The way they could be in the same place over and over yet still present something new and unexpected was such a treat for me. Different preferences I guess

Yeah I also agree with you here, I know Garfiel will be important to the story and all but this arc is definitely moving at a snail's pace, we are still in the forest and things barely went anywhere IMHO.

I'm just glad things appear to be moving forward now, after 15 episodes I simply got tired of this forest arc and want this to move on. Also, FINALLY, Emilia stopped being a freaking "Damsel in Distress" because that was getting annoying too and Garfiel was more likeable in this episode after his character development so this was a good episode for me.

Now... can we please move on from this forest?

I don't know if I have anything new to contribute to this discussion but...

HOLY SHIT THIS EPISODE, THIS SHOW, EMILIA

They keep just blowing me away with their developments. I realized after this episode...assuming the season/show continue to either get better or even just stay this good, this might be one of the best overall shows I've ever watched. FMA:B is one of the GOATs because it was consistently amazing and built this incredible story from start to finish that was brilliant. Season 1 of Re:0 was honestly just pretty good, but it continues to build and develop; and it is starting to weave together the kind of story that (for me personally at least) rivals the overall story-telling of FMA:B.

Absolutely psyched to keep watching this show and see where it ends up.

*Edit* this was one of those few anime episodes where I actually noticed the background music sounded exceptionally good...like, it amplified the emotions of the scenes.
