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.

- 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.

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.





- Roswaal is more descriptive about the Gospels.





- The conversation about Beatrice cooperation had more considerations:





- Even more considerations (Beako's pact):





- 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.

At 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.
I'd rather they do it like this than rush it

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
