ShiroHachi said: Geez seriously, there are hundreds of people here, but no one is questioning why Roswall is making snow fall to drive Emilia crazy, that's the point here. She's not going crazy just because Subaru left her, that's just one of the reasons. The biggest reason why she has gone crazy is her past. Snow, the reaction of the villagers, and Subaru leaving Emilia. It all triggers Emilia's past I guess nobody is questioning because it is quite obvious, even more if we watched Frozen Bonds movie. What is curious is that the snow always came after a stone-teleport. I dont know why it trigger Roswaal to use this artifice. Maybe the complete abscence of Subaru is necessary. |

Rob7 said: PendragonX1 said: That was a lot to unpack in one episode. First, we got Beatrice saving Subaru like a G. Then we get Emilia I believe at first I thought she was possessed by Satella I believe now she just went insane. Why that is IDK yet. https://i.imgur.com/uZ5vkfr.jpg  The random teleportations in this season are starting to be odd. So Beako can instant send people to Sanctuary? Ok Subaru, so you can rely on that, run with Petra, Freda and Rem to Beatrice's library, USE THE F* "IM THAT PERSON" (freeding Betty from the Library) and finally, everybody teleports to Sactuary. Sure, 1st have to deal with Roswaal somehow, or he will start to make it snow to drive Emilia crazy, and unintentionally call the rabbits. mozgow said: I think I can post those screenshots from episode 18 now, since they will make sense now, I think. If you wonder what happened to Subaru's letter, there is a hint in the previous episode. One thing is not right. It seems like Ros book is more "updated" than Beako's version. If Beatrice's book tells nothing new in years, so that time she could not know anything about Subaru's curse. Unless Roswaal is telling her. Can we assume that the maniac Ros is so confident to the Spirit in the Library? BUT he has a vow forcing he to dont reveal shit. Seems like a Plot hole. no, there are no plot holes |
| 5 people hating the episode. I knew it there's always a troll in the forum. Man this series deserves to be on 9 rating at least. |

AddiTeacha2 said: Emilia is such a bitch whore. She got abandoned for a day and she went nuts. I would have understand if it was satella. It's her true annoying ass self. Subaru also a dumb cunt. He made Beatrice died simply he doesn't want a loli to die. Ugh so annoying man. bruh this is why you need a brain to watch anime. |
|
| That last scene was done amazingly. The creepy music, the tension, the panning to Subaru's wounds. Wow. |
MoonSong87 said: Ros mentioned that he wanted to isolate emilia, why? for her to get stronger, grow and break through this challenge? or for some other nefarious reason? [i dont mind spoilers for this] Roswaal spoke a lot of plot twists everytime he said something on this episode he's basically hinting Subaru and Emilia to power themselves and not to rely too much on others. Because everytime it resets, they'll always face a new variable of puzzles. |
|
| Holy shit. Just holy shit... I have one question though: is Beatrice permanently dead now? Or will she also be alive when Subaru returns? |
 |
| This episode was insane. The best so far. This whole episode felt like a movie to the point I don't know where to start. I'm at a lost for words. Beatrice, Ram, the damn village girl. Elsa is a damn dark souls boss. Roswaal is a goddamn mastermind. Poor Subaru and Emilia. This has to be the worst timeline by far. I will say this though, Emilia must tap into Satella when she is in emotional stress. Even her last words to Subaru was that of envy. I'm guessing Emilia loves Subaru but not in a healthy way. The same with Satella? Damn this was a great episode. So much to unpack. 10/5 |

| Oh, ok, Beatrice's book no longer shows her future for some years, huh.. And also Beatrice at least 400 years old.. It means that all witches' business, them falling or stuff - happened around 400 years back?.. Well, if Beatrice was bound by contract by Echidna.. Well, yeah.. It's not just as easy as to just take Betty on the help, and then just go on with your life business or something.. No, that's not as simple as that.. For Betty it means more.. If you are going to take her from the contract to guard the place.. Then you have to become actually that person who she'll help forever.. Because that's what her contract says.. And.. Is Subaru ready to take such responsibility?.. If he takes Beatrice from the library.. He really has to take her everywhere with himself.. Btw, both Elsa and Maylie both use "kashira" as well.. But maybe that's just coincidence.. Though, if that is intentional detail that those close to witches maybe can get certain traits or something.. It's nice.. But probably just a coincidence.. Well, Beatrice's pro-suicidal position can come back in the future, I suppose.. Really, problems just get stockpiling.. It's just impossible at this point without incredible luck to solve everything.. Elsa, Maylie, snow rabbits.. Even with return by death, you also have to have more than enormous luck to fix everything at the same time.. As well as all characters are just on the edge as well.. Beatrice probably ok with suicide, if only she could do that, because spirits can't kill themselves, as she said.. And Emilia going yandere after some push.. This really just stockpiling all the problems.. How much more can we get?.. Honestly, it seems a bit of overkill.. Even if it's interesting.. Just because I see no way you can fix everything, really, and it'll all just end up in incredible luck.. I don't even believe it'll portray the importance of trying, or thinking, or something else, what can be important by coming back from dead.. I just honestly expect just some incredible luck to solve everything.. Which would kinda be eh, I don't know about that.. Though, I kinda am interesting in that crazy side of Emilia.. I like some yandere characters.. Maybe they won't do with this anything more, though.. I actually liked that moment, when Roswaal killed Garf through Ram.. Telling "you're truly great maid, Ram!".. That's at the same time badass.. And messed up.. And Roswaal knows that Subaru is returning by death, hm.. Well, there were some signs of that.. So.. Why he's still being dodgy of stuff then?.. Is he truly thinking he'll be able to avoid Subaru again, and again, and again, in all of the timelines?.. Eh, Roswaal wants to make Emilia emotionally unstable?.. What for?.. Argument that Subaru will distance himself from clingy Emilia is kinda strange.. Especially if he just openly says it to Subaru - Subaru will want to fix this situation.. So Roswaal's actions, motives and words are quite questionable, really.. It feels that either he's telling some BS.. Perhaps lying.. Or he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, lol.. Because that's not how you make a man to abandon Emilia, by telling him everything, lol.. It will only cause rebellion.. It just doesn't make sense.. Also he beat Subaru.. What for?.. What are true intentions of Roswaal in the end?.. Maybe to make Subaru hate him?.. What for?.. His actions honestly doesn't make much sense.. He's probably lying about things.. |
| Solid episode. Wasn't too emotional with the Beatrice segment or blown away by it and the stuff after but it was still a nice one nonetheless. This season and show's improved over the past few weeks, to no surprise other than the pacing feeling more right compared to the start of the season. Still not a great season that leaves me speechless, but a big improvement from a 3/10 first season to a 6 where its at now for me (and can grow too if this part ends strong). |
Rob7 said: The first season foreshadowed Meili as a culprit. She disappeared after they recover the kids from the forest and villagers commented it. --- Know what, Satella is innocent® I am always saying it and the plot provides even more reasons to believe. - Roswaal is EVIL. It is more clear now than ever. - Roswaal is like Echidna's minion, he defeded her name like he is clear one, and his familly always have been there protecting Echdna's lands. That means, Echidna is evil too. If Roswaal is tormenting Emilia on purpose, so is Echidna who ultimately is Ros's boss. I've watched enough anime to know that when a suspitious character is depicted to be soooo good since the start for the MC, it is followed by plot twist when the MC discovers the true colors. Don't need to confirm or deny it, but the evidences now lead to this. For me both Envy & Greed sides are both doing it in the wrong way. And Subaru & Emilia are just mere pawns of their whole scenario and the poor victims. Both do adventures and taking hands of other lost people along the way. There's like no true definition of what GOOD & EVIL is. Exclude the Assassin Organization They're just doing what they think is right, in their own way. I think that's the point of this whole story of Re:Zero. At the end of the day we can only see the suffering. |

| Holy this episode was full of chills and unexpected moments. Also, why is there a “bounty” on the Roswaal residents/maids, is it something that will get explained this season or do they do it because their employer doesn’t like Roswaal? Dang, Emilia went bonkers and Subaru didn’t even try to save her because he knew she was too far gone, very sad :((. Another thing, that last scene with Emilia got me tripping with its eerieness and showing Subaru’s state after he was eaten by the bunnies. Lastly, Roswaal is insanely perceptive, maybe the book assists him in this respect, but nonetheless he is very intelligent and has a different outlook on life and ideals, very interesting. 10/10 episode |
anime-prime said: One of the most emotionally depressing episode so far. It feels like the next return by death will be the last (of part one anyway). Subaru should have enough information now and enough of a drive to try as hard as he ever had before. Additionally, it is best when a narrative has an upward scale, either of fights or of emotional drama, and since I find it hard for another episode to top this one emotionally, it makes sense for this to be the last one before a breakthrough happens. As much as I like it, I still feel like the episode count up until now could have been condensed a bit. The exposition dumps don't help much. Even though they are needed, there are better ways of giving audiences information than just dumping it in occasional soliloquies. Absolutely not, in fact the anime is condensing a bit too much. Re:ZERO is the kind of mystery series that makes heavy use of Chekhov's guns and asks its audience to constantly think while also delivering an engaging character drama, and you can't do that without the proper puzzle pieces. Information is revealed gradually and in a natural way between characters, and that is good. |
| Roswaal donuted not 1 but 2 characters today. Dio could never hold a candle to Roswaal-sama. I reject my humanity, Subaru-kun! |

| This is by far the best episode (both seasons included). The last scene gave me chills... Can't believe Beatrice got killed so easily, somehow I expected more from someone who is a great spirit. And I knew that stupid mabeast user kid from village would be a problem someday. Roswaal is getting really interesting, can't wait to see more of him. |
 |
| This episode legit blew my mind. I can honestly say that this is legit my number 1 series <3 |
| Lots going on here Roswaal is a truly complex character. I have no idea of what he's up to or even if he is a true enemy. I mean what was the point of kicking the crap out of Subaru if he knew the rabbits would eat him? Also Emilia has lost the plot this time loop and I'm still not sure what's happened to Puck. At this point I have no idea how Subaru fixes this but this season has been excellent |
| That was one of the most shocking and horrifying anime episodes I've ever seen. This episode has convinced me that my theory that Emilia is Satella is true. How the hell did she end up so insane?! Jesus... just everything that could go wrong went wrong 😱 Roswaal might not be pure evil but there is something irreparably twisted about him that makes him really dangerous. I hope there NEVER comes a day when Subaru becomes like him because that man has no humanity left. |

Emillian said: Martin_Taylor said: I am starting to think there is no good loop at end of this season. This is more like IF story, how long will this suffering go on? And it's only sanctuary, not even mention about two goddamnit Arci-bishops of sin. Well that's kinda what I am expecting when there are only two episodes left, but being thrown so long in this one loop is really getting on me at this point. I guess I will wait and get last two episodes at once. |

Returnbywaifu said: - As some people have said here, Subaru not telling Beatrice he is "that person" especially when she's the one bringing up the topic. This cannot be attributed to Subaru's mental state, he clearly had the opportunity to tell her and he didn't. I need an explanation for this, we cannot keep repeating the same thing forever, "Subaru has seen some shit and he doesn't behave normally", because if you use that card you can do pretty much everything you want with Subaru and always give that excuse Subaru not telling her he is "that person" has a very specific purpose and would be out of character for him, while also undermining Beatrice's arc. More on this in the second cour. Returnbywaifu said: Why are the loops so different from each other? The loops being different are kinda the main point. You can slowly start piecing together why Garfiel acts differently or why Roswaal starts the snow. Returnbywaifu said: Why doesn't Subaru die from the Rabbits this time? The anime skipped it (which isn't too bad), but basically he ran to the Tomb while the Rabbits were all attracted to the source of mana, Roswaal. Obviously stray rabbits still went after him, hence all of his injuries. Having him walk through the rabbits would've been a cool dramatic scene, if only we had the same production quality as S1, but it was fine. Based on the info we have the viewer can easily put 2 and 2 together as to how he got there. Returnbywaifu said: How does Subaru know that Roswaal is the one who created the Snowstorm? Maybe he deducts it can only be him? And if that is the case, he is smart enough to deduce this but not to tell Beatrice the words? Subaru deduced it because Roswaal is the only one strong enough to do so. Like I said, he has a reason for not saying the words. Returnbywaifu said: As far as Subaru not wanting Beatrice to kill the little kid, makes no sense at this point, this is clearly a convenience so Beatrice can let her guard down and be stabbed by Elsa. He pretty much acts as the plot demands, like always. Putting aside how this kinda looks like you judged him as a child murderer, he gave a specific reason for telling Beatrice not to kill Maylie: he wanted to ask who hired them. Because information gathering was kinda the main point of the loop, it doesn't matter if an enemy dies or not. Returnbywaifu said: Regarding Emilia and how her behaviour doesn't make sense here. I dislike Emilia, but even I give her more props than some people here. I think it's obvious from both her eyes and her behavious that this is not a case of just her losing her mind because of trauma. There is probably some sort of possesion or another explanation for this. Come on guys, I dislike her too, but even for a badly written character like Emilia there are limits on how bad she can be handled, give her more credit than this, don't be biased. She's mentally broken and driven into a corner by Roswaal due to many different factors. It's not as simple as possession. More details here if you're interested. |
 meili portroute Did roswaal hire Elsa and this girl?? Because Elsa knew about Beatrice's power. |

Essentially torturing him because he doesn't know it's triggered by death. Peep the dialogue in that scene again. |
| good story + soap opera -> meat grinder -> this |
| [Beatrice dead scene] Dont give me any despair more than this! *aaarrgh* [Emilia ending scene] I have confused feeling about this scene.. Emilia's voice is sweet as always..but.. ..the way she stare.. makes me uncomfortable.. ..and.. .. ..kinda creepy... .. . But i like that.. It feels better when u watch it animated rather than using your own imagination to imagine those scenes.. The goosebumps delivered successfully~ Looks like i need to watch emilia ending scenes again.. |
| That was... very unsettling. If it werent for the lot of you filling anime only in with Emilia is just mentally broken down I'd assume Emilia was under some kind of spell cause of how the anime made her eyes have some glowy twirly effect, why couldn't they just make her eyes literal blank instead of making it look like she was high on magic mariwana. This episode was by far the most disturbing shit I've watched in Re:Zero, emotionally since I very much love Emilia and seeing her in that state was not pleasant. All the more fcked up when they had wholesome moments with the lap pillow thing like back in S1 when Emilia gave him his first one and the second one which was the last ep of S1, who tf asked for a 3rd one being this messed up!? doesnt help that it parallels with S1's last ep with their eyes reflecting each other again. Anyways, yet another amazing episode, only thing missing was Echidna to make it a perfect one! we're close to the end of the first part, please don't let ep 13 have a deadly cliffhanger like this ep. Also that fcking title drop right after the fcking kiss too... normally I'd joke about "Well even if its a deranged Emilia, the taste of death doesnt sound so bad." but I think its still a tad too soon for that. Author really has his kicks fcking with not only his main characters but also his fans eh? really had his MC get a first kiss from the girl he be obsessing about in one of the utmost worst possible ways.I am amazed,surprised and scared at the same time, and considering this is RE:Zero, it still being able to surprise me is an achievement. |
  |
| Amazing episode, one of the best, but I would like it more if they stopped using CGI on those majuus. |
 Did Roswall just confirmed that Subaru is jumping across timelines? oh boy, that can't be good. Subaru was sure the time was just resetting, but this changes everything if true. |

| @Ulirec Your derogatory remarks and abusive words sure makes me mad. But all I'll say is that Emilia's trial ISN'T ABOUT NOT GOING TO SCHOOL UNLIKE SUBARU! Edit:- Nevermind. I just found out Rem trash psychopath whore is your fav character. |

JanesG said: as a emilia stan , it’s so hurt to see her broken my baby is so weak and can someone please spoil me will there be a character development for Emilia for the second half of the series ? if you cannot stand her , don’t quote me : ) Yeah. As an Emilia fan, you will like it so look forward to it :) |
Skuld_Op said: Anime skipped that part but when Subaru was teleported to the Sanctuary, he meets one of Ryuzu clones first and then Garfiel. He talks with him about what happened, learning that Emilia basically went insane because he disappeared without a word, and that she's been inside the tomb since. That's why he went there. Can someone explain me why the first question garf asked was about his eyes instead of being shocked seeing subaru coming out of grave suddenly when he left for the mansion in the first place? Since anime skipped that, they've added that question (to confuse anime-onlies even more xD) |
 |
| With answers comes many questions, today's episode was a perfect execution of that. At first I thought Emilia was taken over by Satella again, but after we got to see her eyes, I am not so sure anymore. Perhaps her mind is broken now.. There were quite a few reveals that surprised me and some that I have been waiting for that person to spit out. What I didn't see coming is Beatrice being a spirit. Also I feel like that Elsa showing up there is set up by someone we know. Roswaal knows about Subaru doing "Over and Over". Ever since it got teased post-credit a few episodes ago, I wanted him to say it to Subaru personally and now it happened. Roswaal's actions in that room, killing Ram and Garfiel was pretty shocking, but I guess he would kill his servants if it means protecting himself. Garfiel was ready to kill him right there. The chat between Roswaal and Subaru was pretty eyeopening. oh and Hey look! The bunnies are back! That final scene was incredibly disturbing and creepy!! |

| One of the Best Episodes....... (again x9999999) Beatrice story/character is a pure an unique Gem in the series... Has always been. The "Real" Confusion, Perspective, Ideology, Psychology & Mentality of the characters in this second season is amazing..... this is what makes a good character and why these characters make a good series. So many deaths, blood and lifelines had passed away in front of our eyes.... But so many more are still coming... PLENTY more... |
