How much time has passed after the crystal from subaru glowed? Did Garfield killed Emilia then it turned to snow? Nice episode though, really happy that at least Subaru got to tell what he's been going through. |

Rob7 said: - Otto's death was completely predictable after the huge Death Flag from last episode. - But something was really odd. Garfield blood rage looked out of place, because until that moment there was no reason to see him as a villain. But anyway, it is not the 1st time it happens in the series, just need to remember Rem. - And the Monty Python Bunnies was COMPLETELY RANDOM. It was the most fool and (until this point at least), pointless and meaningless death of Subaru. Even more than his death to the muggers in the 1st arc. - If i may guess what happened: 1. Subaru was teleported again by the stone the same way that happened when he crossed the barrier, but we know that it is not automatic, so someone from inside the Sanctuary induced it. 2. The barrier was not released (at this point i believe that ALL the Arc 4 will be only about the Sanctuary and the trials, since this 1st half of the arc will just find a solution, if much, to the tragedy at the Mansion). 3. If the barrier was not released, why nobody is around? Simple, they become Demon Bunny's food, sure. Look at the numbers of that plague! 4. And what are that gore Bunnies? I strongly guess they are result of some SUICIDE strategy by the Sanctuary Faction (cough.. "White R..." ahem...) that don't want the barrier to be released. Rob, so far you are for sure favourite if it's about theories on mal! You should definitely check something what i wrote on 5th page ;) 1.I was talking about stone and yea, it was weird for me when Subaru talked in Sanctuary about it, they talked about explosion and how Frederica was a bad guy here, but when he actually talked to her about that, he montioned only teleportation and she was suprised when she heard that so i'm here with you that it was weird and someone is triggering it 2.I think they still focus for now on the mansion, unless they will be some way to take down the barrier in on night (which will be splitten into episodes and done 'fast' by Subaru) because to save Petra and Frederica he has to go back the next day i believe. If i had to guess after end of tea party, he might try to talk to Garfiel but he can't leave with the barrier anyway so he won't be any help with Elsa, so Subaru will have to count for help from Beatrice. I wonder what means what he heard from Roswaal about being THE GUY, is it just spy-ish password? or maybe it has some deeper meaning? is it connected to Roswaal probably knowing about RbD? If theory about Elsa being sent by Roswaal would be truth, that mean he sent her in first season to find 'hero'/knights for Emilia he read in the book that told him future and it might be possible he reffered to him as Subaru being 'him'. The only plot hole would be if Roswaal would remember changes in the book to figure out why it happens but i guess it could be explained by Beatrice being aware? Idk 3.Yea, thats pretty obvious, i'm only suprised by lack of blood which could be explained by it being under snow, but there was none even in church so im not sure 4.YES! i have 2 ideas about it. I was talking (and i'm suprised no one else was) that we still don't know anthing about what is inside barrier and what's going to happen after it will be taken down (and Roswaal motives, and why actually he went so far to try to take it down). We heard that there is faction that doesn't want barrier to be taken down and Re;Zero doesn't share with such crucial info when it's not really relevant more or less. So first would be that they were attacked inside the Sanctuary and the most likely Emilia died and snow came upon the land and rabbits just were able to survive i guess. But why Puck doesn't show up if he can still release his power? Second idea is that because they are mabeasts, could it be made by the same person who attacked them in first season via dogs? If everything i/we assumed would be true, Elsa's parter she named was actually that person it could be possible that when she was sent to the mansion, that Mild-orhoweverhe/shewascalled person could be sent to Sanctuary (or just attacked remotly without entering inside) Ps. thanks to your hanafuda profile i know you are men of culture :P |

This episode makes you feel a powerful mixture of emotions, like a rollercoaster hat doesn't give you a chance to rest before pounding another emotional or disturbing moment into you at full speed. Because of that, this is the best episode of the second season of Re Zero so far. It was good that Subaru chose to question Roswaal again about Beatrice and he tells Subaru that she isn't part of the witch's cult, and that the book she has with her isn't a gospel, either, but one that can tell the true future. He also gives Subaru another worded response to say to Beatrice to make sure that she'll ally with him. However, shortly afterwards, Garfiel finally made his appearance and after a short conversation, he went on the attack. Otto & Ram got their plan into motion, but it was sadly futile. Garfiel beast transformation put a stop to the plan, along with killing everyone in sight. Subaru somehow ended up in all alone in a snowy version of the Sanctuary, where he met his demise by the sight of a cute bunny.....which became a murderous bunny of one, then thousands upon thousands. I think this is one most disturbing and graphic deaths that I've seen of Re Zero so far. =( Subaru got back to the same checkpoint as before, but he ended up having a mental breakdown. It was at this moment when Echidna summoned him back to her tea party and thus led to the best scene so far this season. Echidna, once again, showed her cute side when she wanted praise for her efforts and she became all flustered when Subaru got close to her in response. XD Those antics aside, Subaru was finally able to tell her about his "Return By Death", the first time this has ever happened. The poor lad broke down crying after telling, or, more accurately, shouting emotionally at Echidna, about the hell he went through, which led to Echidna to comfort him, wiping away his tears and with a beautiful smile to boot. Rem will still my favourite girl, but Echidna is hot on her heels for 1st place at this rate. X3 |

I thought it's Puck doing his thing again, but this time it's Monty Python rabbits. Damn with murderous Garfield as he is, no wonder those guys are confined in a barrier. Better not let those abomination roam the world and find a way to get out without breaking the barrier. Actually I just realized Frederica should have known about the barrier and still told Emilia to go in without giving any information. She's not innocent. |

I mean they let those dangerous mabeast , a gut hunting psychopath, a bunch of psychotic witch cults, and a dangerous Spirit that often wants to destroy the world (Puck) roam around. What's so much different letting lose a Garfield cat :3 |

RiceKnight59 said: Garfiel actually does turn into Garfield LOL I'm glad best girl is back and was able to support Subaru. All this time he's been dealing with his ability alone and had no one he could talk to about it. Does this mean she's been inside his head since he showed up in this world? He looks like Rei from Urusei Yatsura. |

For whose are curious, interesting complete passages of the light novel for this episode only: Episode 8 (LN vol. 11) - Subaru was a bit more flippant when met Ram. “—You certainly took your time. I thought I would become an old woman while I waited.” “Though even an elderly Ram would be adorable, I am sure.” These words spoken, Ram turned toward Subaru and Otto, snorting in her usual manner. When they arrived at the rendezvous point with the sympathizer, it was none other than Ram who appeared. Stunned by that fact, Subaru was frozen in place as Ram’s pink eyes narrowed. The dangerous look in her eyes made him swallow his saliva, whereupon Subaru quickly glanced at Otto, standing beside him. “…Otto, on three, we split up and run. Your job’s to cry out in a loud voice and draw her off. Mine’s to be quiet, wordless like a snake. Any objections?” “I have nothing but objections! For that matter, why are you taking such a guarded posture…” “Idiot, you were followed. Look at Ram’s eyes. She’s planning to kill us, no mistake. Trust me. They’re the same eyes as when I messed up back at the mansion.” “Trust you, because you’re a man that people regard with bloodlust on a daily basis?!” In a small voice, Subaru contrived to flee, but Otto’s reaction was far too dulled. Against Ram, his poor intuition was a fatal flaw. Unfortunately, Otto would perish. “And when you die, I will carve your dying will upon my breast and see that the people of the Sanctuary are freed…” “May we set the games aside and advance the conversation? Wasted time leads to a wasted life.” ... U don't say. - Roswaal is more descriptive about the Gospels. “Certainly, the book you saw is very similar to the Gospels that Witch Cultists possess. It is no fault of your own that you suspect Beatrice as a result. But I guarantee this—” “Guarantee…?” “That girl is not a Witch Cultist. She has nothing to do with those hurling themselves over the Great Waterfalls in search of love that does not exist. Though it is true that the book is of a similar nature.” “—!! Not the Witch Cult…! You mean it?!” W-wait! I don’t wanna get happy over just that. The problem isn’t what flag she’s under. If she’s not part of the Witch Cult, what is that book? Why does she have a Gospel? "(...)So I shall reply plainly… That book is not a Gospel.” “It’s not…? But she definitely called the book a Gospel.” “Because it does not have a proper name. Hence, she called it via the name used for the inferior product.” Even then, Beatrice’s rejection lingered in his ears. Subaru refuted Roswaal with that difficult-to-forget shout in mind. [b]With a knowing look, he said to Subaru, “If I may?” and continued his words with, “I do not know how much of which you are aware, but the Gospels possessed by Witch Cultists are incomplete. The number of notations is limited, their contents vague, varying depending upon the interpretation. To have such an unfriendly tome determine the path of the possessor’s fate… is rather arbitrary, is it not?” “…You’re crazy detailed about this. All I’d heard was that it was holy writ that prophesized the future.” “Witch Cultists can gush forth from anywhere, particularly Sanctuaries connected to a Witch such as that which I administer. It is not merely once or twice that I have skirmished with them. I have found traces of their tomes amid the cinders of their corpses. However, I know they are frauds because only the possessor may read their contents.” “I’ve had that experience once…” Subaru, too, possessed a single Gospel, but he wasn’t able to understand its contents. It was like staring at cursive handwriting from a foreign land; the character information wasn’t being conveyed to his brain. Even at present, when he tried to remember the single page he had seen, not even a portion floated into his head. “It feels a lot like the ID-blocking robe’s effect… In other words, it might not be common, but books like that aren’t super-rare either. So, you’re saying it’s not strange that Beatrice has one, too?” “—No, the tome Beatrice possesses is a complete edition. It is a magical tome that records the true future, of which only two volumes exist in the whole of the world. It is the closest thing to a Tome of Wisdom that currently exists.” With his eyes closed, Roswaal spoke the name of the book, which Subaru didn’t recognize. Then, a moment after it became clear exactly what book Beatrice possessed—suddenly, Subaru’s body stiffened, feeling like the air in the room had suddenly gotten colder. The cause was Roswaal, head hung just before him. The ghastly aura emanating from him made Subaru draw in his breath. “Ros…waal…?” “Sorry. It seems I was recalling an amusing memory for a short while.” - The conversation about Beatrice cooperation had more considerations: “I’d really like to ask for the details about this Tome of Wisdom, but right now the gist will do. What I need to know is how do I convince the Beatrice with that book to back down?” “Perhaps if you broke into tears and begged, she might listen to you?” “I said no joking around! I’m not asking you to be funny. This is a serious question.” “I did not intend it as a particularly frivolous reply, mind you…” Bringing the obstinate Beatrice around was an absolutely irreplaceable component of breaking through the calamity arising at the mansion. Even if the option of taking her and fleeing had vanished, he’d be at a marked advantage if he had her cooperation. They could shelter the noncombatants, Rem and Petra, in the archive of forbidden books and jump them to Earlham Village. “Beyond that, even if Frederica were to become hostile, that girl would surely fend her off without difficulty.” “…I don’t particularly suspect Frederica as an enemy.” “Oh my, you seemed to suspect her due to the crystal incident. Your opinion changed at some point?” “…Yeah, that’s right, it did.” “A rather uncertain reply, no? If you are concerned, take Ram. Surely she will not refuse.” Subaru had only cleared up his suspicions of Frederica based on the memories of the Subaru who had returned to the mansion. From Roswaal’s perspective, Subaru’s two worries for his return to the mansion surely appeared to be Frederica’s rebellious intent and Beatrice’s possession of a certain book. Accordingly, proposing that Ram accompany him was a natural decision. Aside from the point that Subaru had already tried that and failed— “—Roswaal said, ‘Ask your questions.’” “…Huh?” “If you remain concerned about the matter, upon your return to the mansion, tell her, ‘Roswaal said, Ask your questions.’ When Beatrice hears this, she will surely respond.” “That’s…” He blinked. Subaru remembered hearing those weighty words before. The first time around that loop, just before setting out from the Sanctuary to return to the mansion, Ram told him those words, hailing from Roswaal after their relationship had worsened. The shock of death had caused him to forget them, and he had not remembered the words on the last, and second, time around, but— - Even more considerations (Beako's pact): “…I see. You do not believe these words are sufficient.” “W-wait. Insufficient, that’s… Nah, before that, it’s just…” “Then I shall continue. Or perhaps, this way of speaking it would be surer footing?” Roswaal ignored Subaru’s confusion; indeed, a smile came over him. Then, in his usual manner, he closed one eye, seeing right through Subaru with his yellow eye and speaking thus: “—Simply tell her you are That Person.” “That Person…?” “Make Beatrice ask this of you, and affirm that it is so. Do this, and she will most certainly be your ally, sure to lending you her power without reservation.” He firmly declared this, his words infused with powerful conviction. When that conviction caused Subaru to look back into Roswaal’s eye, the tranquil yellow glint therein betrayed none of his thoughts. Still, if that all turned out to be true, then the words he’d been told to speak were simply that powerful. “What’s…up with that? How can you say that so confidently?” “Because to that girl, to Beatrice, it is a pact she is unable to defy.” “—A pact.” When the word made his eardrums tremble, Subaru felt his smoldering anger rekindled once more. Pact, vow, covenant, promise—just how much, how far did these bind one’s heart? “Her staying in the mansion…in the archive of forbidden books, was all due to a pact, I heard? What kind of pact did you two form…?” “You misunderstand, Subaru. No pact has been formed between Beatrice and me whatsoever.” “…What?” To Subaru’s question, posed as he trembled with anger, Roswaal refuted with a sideways shake of his head. Then, as Subaru stood dumbfounded, Roswaal touched the bandage wrapped around his chest as he said, “I shall repeat myself. No pact-based relationship exists between Beatrice and me. She is under the same roof because our mutual interests coincide… Her pact to protect the archive of forbidden books was formed between her and a different individual.” “Someone else…?! Then, who the heck was it!” “It is best you ask her. That is a question for Beatrice herself. It is not for me to speak of.” Roswaal’s reply, in contrast to Subaru’s rage, gradually caused the latter to lose its heat. Roswaal’s demeanor and reply made Subaru go “Shit!” as he strongly kicked the floor. “This again! She tells me to ask you; you tell me to ask her! Stop making me run around in circles! I want to know the answer, damn it!” “I have handed you the key so that you may arrive at your answer. All that remains is for you to place it into the keyhole and turn it. I shall not permit crudeness such as peeking into the box…rather, the archive, on thesly.” Unexpectedly, Roswaal asserted his own view in a most straightforward manner. Clenching his teeth at the obstinate stance, Subaru forced his resentment down to the bottom of his belly. “…Based on the state of affairs up to yesterday, Lady Emilia should finally be exiting the tomb…regardless of her success or failure. So what shaaaall you do?” Perhaps he’d consciously put a lid on it up to that point, but now, Roswaal spoke in a blatantly jester-like tone. It annoyed Subaru, but he had a point. Timewise, he was right on the edge, a half day left until the deadline when the mansion would be attacked. Any longer, and he wouldn’t make it even with Patlash running full-speed. The forces available for repelling the calamity of the twin raiders consisted of Frederica back at the mansion, Otto and Subaru set to return to it, and if they added Ram— “…Is it true that Beatrice will go along with what you said just now?” “I made a vow that I would speak no lie. At the very least, it is what I believe.” “If it doesn’t work, I don’t care what anyone says, I’m punching you in the side of your face. Remember that.” - Equidona was not "magically" stalking Subaru over all the history of the series, but just discovered RbD by reading his memories. Also, Subaru mentally explains better how the RbD curse works. Having gained confirmation on that point, there was one other thing he wanted to confirm with the Witch— “—Echidna, how much do you know about my circumstances?” “What I know is how much I want to know about you. And how much I want to know is all there is to know in the entire world.” “Don’t kid about this. I’m sure you’ve realized how weird it is that I’m here at all.” “That is not so. You fulfilled the conditions to be invited to the tea party —you reached my territory, and in that place, you were filled with such longing for some reason. And that desire aroused my Greed—” Echidna made a play on words, whereupon Subaru placed his hand on the table once more. By this he indicated he didn’t mind playing along with the tea party… but he had no intention of playing along with a farce. “It is strange. I mean, from your point of view, I only just left, right?” "___” “I returned from the Trial…from overcoming my past. And here I am, right after that.” The reference point for that loop was set to right after he’d overcome the first Trial. Even though Subaru had returned, he ought to have been in the stone room in the tomb. That was both immediately after his conversation with Echidna had concluded, and to the Witch, an extremely quick reunion— “You’re so smart, there’s no way you wouldn’t find that strange. If you don’t, that could only mean…” “…Could only mean?” Hesitating to continue his words, Echidna gave his hesitant back a proverbial shove. He breathed in, then out. If Echidna did not harbor suspicions about their reunion, that meant— “—You know the circumstances that caused it.” “___” When Subaru pressed onward, Echidna made a tiny smile and maintained her silence. —The basis for his suspicion was the words he’d exchanged with Echidna in the virtual classroom at the height of the first Trial, when she’d stated that world was nothing but a charade. Even that very moment, the answer he’d conveyed to his parents in the past had not changed. They rested strongly in his chest. Accordingly, it was not that which weighed on Subaru’s mind, but how that world had been constructed. Echidna had created a different world using Subaru’s memories as a reference, recreating even his school’s uniforms. If that was the power of the Witch of Greed, sleeping eternally within the tomb, then— “—You have the power to see my memories. So, you don’t think this situation’s strange.” If she had the power to use his memories as a reference, she knew that from Subaru’s perspective, their reunion was not directly after parting inside of that classroom. She also knew he had spent several days since then, letting everything slip through his fingers as “death” greeted him once more. —And so, too, did she know that Subaru Natsuki had Returned by Death, going back in time. “____” Subaru hesitated, sealing his words away. His heart beat ferociously, as if to tell him that going any further was dangerous— That if Subaru revealed much more, he would most certainly brush up against the taboo. He would expose Return by Death. That would violate the one inviolate rule that the Witch had laid down. And should Subaru break it, he would taste agony to his very limits as punishment.Then what happened if he said aloud that Return by Death had been exposed via a completely different tangent? It was a complete unknown, a circumstance beyond all imagination— “Why do you not try it?” “—?!!” To Subaru, afraid of the taboo and the unknown, Echidna casually tossed those words. Taken aback by the casualness of it, Subaru was indignant next. Echidna Or perhaps he would invite a different tragedy, and those evil hands would take the life of someone precious to Subaru, as they had with Emilia. “Haaa…haaa…!” His spiritual body’s brow was drenched with sweat. The droplets fell onto his cheek, rolling down to his jaw. The state of his soul vividly reflected that of his body. That was how far he was backed into a corner. That moment, what backed Subaru’s mind into a corner was not fear of the taboo, but fear of the unknown. Subaru’s tongue rejected spinning the words in that unknown state. After all, the current situation was different from any other situation he had encountered relating to Return by Death. If Subaru spoke, willingly breaking the taboo, his heart would be crushed. If Subaru pleaded from his heart that he wanted to reveal the truth—the evil hands would take the life of someone he cared for. Then what happened if he said aloud that Return by Death had been exposed via a completely different tangent? It was a complete unknown, a circumstance beyond all imagination— “Why do you not try it?” “—?!!” To Subaru, afraid of the taboo and the unknown, Echidna casually tossed those words. Taken aback by the casualness of it, Subaru was indignant next. Echidna didn’t understand. She didn’t comprehend what might arise if he just tried it, how horribly unprofitable the prospect. But in the face of Subaru’s anger, Echidna shook her head and said, “To test in hope of a result is an action to be praised. We only covet that which has value.” Without even knowing if she herself might be harmed, she criticized Subaru’s inde— No, that wasn’t it. The Witch Echidna had seen right through to Subaru’s reason for indecision. She knew it was possible that it would be her, not Subaru, who might be in peril. And, knowing this, she had said to do it nonetheless. She said this, because her conviction was unshakable. (...) “Echidna. I Return by Dea—” He spoke the words that were taboo. Just as he had done many times before, he spoke the words, the special phrase, that walked across the prohibited line. Several times had he done this: to serve as a decoy for the demon dogs, to lure in the White Whale, to deceive the Witch Cultists. In the course of doing so, he was robbed of words, and the world’s time came to a halt— “—th.” Firmly closing his eyes, Subaru gritted his teeth against the ferocious pain he expected to come. However, his touching resolve amounted to nothing. “…Eh?” He opened his eyes. The world had not changed. Time had not stopped. There was no pain. |

anime-prime said: I'd rather they do it like this than rush itAt this point it feels like this arc is being unnaturally stretched out to reach a 13 episode count. There was a lot of unnecessary padding in these past few episodes. That being said, it was still enjoyable and we got a few more pieces of the puzzle, although the rabbit scene was a little too ridiculous, even for anime standards. |

Garfiel's transformation was wild. He is definitely a cooler cat than the American Garfield who hates Mondays lol I love those rabbits, but the fact that the entire village being empty concerned me the most. A lot of stuff must've happened in the time that he was unconscious. The mystery of Roswall grows by the episode. I look forward to seeing more about his character. Finally that tea party may have been brief, but it looks like Subaru can truly start to be at peace with Return by Death. Subaru has been great this season. I love him as a character now. He has matured so much. I guess dying that many times will do that to you lol |

...wow. Okay, so... That scene with Echdna and Subaru was really touching. It is good to remember that the situation Subaru is in it's not an easy one. He is not able to keep his cool and his rationale all the time. I mean, it is not easy to die over and over and to see people you like being killed over and over and not lose it entirely. For example, I don't know if I would be able to not resent Garfiel after all this shit. I would have to make an active effort to remind myself that I maybe need him to get out of this mess...and that would be hard. I guess I would be a horrible MC hahahahaha ALSO THE KILLING RABBITS FROM MONTHY PYTHON LOL I mean, I laught first and then I just wanted it to stop D: Saw some comments about this here and yeah, I also thought that the world all snowy had something to do with Puck. We don't know much about what happens after Beatrice is killed...maybe they go after the Sanctuary and kill Emilia? Those rabbits seemed not normal either...maju? And I call Garfiel "Garfield" so much and then he turned into some kind of big stripped cat monster lol |

well now we're seeing the virtues of Echidna and why she's best grill. but remember that she's a witch at the end of the day. witch, by its wording, is meant to be derogatory aka what atrocities have she done while, in her case, pursuing knowledge? I'm still on the opinion that this 3rd run is a complete waste. speaking from a completely gamer perspective. he got caught? well you already lost at that point. I was wondering what's so special about this run and still nothing until the Echidna scene happened. so time for 4th run. are we speedrunning this 'game' now? |

This episode might just be Subaru's most gruesome death yet. And that's saying a lot. |

My respect for Echidna has been increased a 1000000......... folds after watching this episode. She is great❤❤❤ I don't want to see her turning into evil if that would happen later in the story. Because some people are saying that she is evil. But so far she is more like a godess and i want her to remain like this please. |

I have a really long take about knowledge and the pursuit of it (Echidna) and this will be a huge tangent so I'll put it in spoiler. So let's start from the very beginning aka Genesis and the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. notice the word 'knowledge' there? the question I want to raise is why did God forbid Adam to eat it? knowledge is power and power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I'd like to preface this by saying the pursuit of knowledge (Echidna) is a path of vanity. now how did I came to this conclusion? so let's look at the outside world for once (sorry basement dwellers, but you gotta see this too). notice that so many people are just apathetic in general when it comes to trying new things? that most people actually just want to wake up only to stare at a screen and call it a day? we do live in an information age or better yet, knowledge age. where knowledge is just literally at the tip of your fingers. wanna try new things? well you don't [have] to anymore. just watch a youtube of that new thing and you pretty much got yourself secondhand information and ultimately secondhand knowledge of that new thing. not real but very much close enough. to put it in a good light, you don't have to lose a limb just to know what the life of a disabled feels like. to put it in a neutral light, you don't have to marry anymore just to know what it's like to live a family life. and to put it in a bad light, you don't have to get a girlfriend just to know what it feels like to be hurt from relationships. keyword: hurt. knowledge is great that you don't have to be hurt anymore right? that has to be a good thing right? well there's a major side effect: the appeal and luster of trying new things is lost. making people apathetic to trying... anything really. you could say this is why birthrates are so low in 1st world countries. knowledge will ultimately put the human race into extinction. but maybe that's for the best. so that the cycle of pain and suffering will be put to an end. |

Finally a good episode, don't know if we could get any lower than the beginning of this season but I guess the show is finally back on track, also is it wrong for me to hope that the spawn point would've changed after all those people died? |

What a heart-wrenching episode! Really great to see Subaru finally being able to let out his secret with someone, that being Echidna. Garfiel losing his cool and killing all of those citizens, Otto, and the bird whose name I forgot was so difficult to watch. I presume Ram was killed in that ordeal, too. The rabbit scene was very weird. Is this foreshadowing or just some oddball scene to give us chills? It was still entertaining though so no complaints. Just horrifying for what we might see come next episode. |

The spawn point will only ever change when: Subara successfully change his fate of inevitable death. It has to be his own death not anyone else. That's why Subaru can't save Rem |

1. It surely must have been mentioned by someone already, and 2. I can't believe I realized this only now, but: There seems to be a theme going on with Subaru crying and being consoled by girls in the 8th episode of a season. I wonder who it will be in season 3. ;) |

Nice episode. Now i'm curious to see what Echidna's pretext for being a lurker is. |

10 100/100 1000/1000 What a fest of raw emotions. From a hopeful restart. again. to the valley of tears and desperation in a matter of minutes. It was so interesting how the roles switched. Garfiel changed from ally to the greatest obstacle. And then.. I guess Emilia died and Puck destroyed the world? This might have been Subaru's most brutale death yet. Slowly being nibbled away by demon snow rabbits. *shiver* How will everything work out this time? There are so many different characters and factions involved. One missstep and SUbaru antagonise again someone powerful. |

i had to look away during the rabbit scene, this anime loves its gore... geeeeeeeeeeez screw that fucking garfiel, i swear characters who have accelerator's VA screaming (except Bakugou, i guess) are always going to enter my hate list, a list that i never had before watching him lmao yay more Echidna time, i never thought a witch would be the best character in this anime, if only the other "bad characters" could be this fun to watch |

I just finished the episode. The last scene was so deep... I can't even stop listening to the ending ost. This ep's become my fav ep of re: zero. If there is a way, I'd like to join Gōyoku no Majo's Cult, please. \(。◕‿◕。)/ |

Very good episode. Honestly, I was more shocked by the deaths of otto, the two villagers and patrache, and seeing the desperation of subaru over were-rabbits. I was also firmly convinced that otto, was of the witch cult and was acting out of opportunism, instead he sacrificed his life for subaru. Garf is out of his mind. With the excuse of protecting the sanctuary he transforms and starts killing everyone. I didn't get the rabbit scene. Subaru appears to react to contact with the barrier, but wakes up inside the sanctuary in an unspecified future. The abitants seem to have vanished into thin air, leaving only their clothes. Then the werewolf rabbits arrive and kill subaru. I am enjoying Echidna more and more. |

Yo Echidna took Hanekawas: "I only know what I know."- line. Ain't complaining tho. Subaru finally got all this trauma off his chest. Good for him! |

Those adorable rabbits are nightmare fuel. What a horrible way to go out. I was rooting for Garfiel to end up with Ram but since it implied that he slaughtered her without remorse as well as Otto (right when I started liking him) makes me mad. Even if he thought Subaru was a witch cultists he didn't need to hurt Ram and Otto. Ram deserves a better love triangle. I wish Emilia had more screen time this episode and I hope to see her full back story soon. Emilia and Ram need more love. I'm finally starting to trust and find Echidna to be lovable. I hope that I don't regret it like I did with Garfiel. |

Same, when I thought episode 7´s ending was already very good, this one was 100 times more emotional! Like I wasn't ready at all for Otto, Patrasche and the villagers to sacrifice trying to save Subaru, him getting eaten alive, and mostly what you said ^ FINNALY he said to someone what was on his mind ever since he first died in this world, I literally cried with him lul :3 |
