He was confident the whole time, and smirking, but that specific moment had a acute response, and that was not a normal confident smile, it was like a crazed smile. Even better, you know what they say "careful with the crazies"....as far as we know Garf is still a 14-15 y/o "big cat" so im not blaming him for being scared by Subaru's attitude...we don't even know what he told him in that moment so it must be something serious but only future episodes will tell what that moment was. |
Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |

Levamme said: Maybe Emilia is a descendent of Satella, the author is messing with my head, I wonder if this 2 has connection with each other.WraithFury said: What if Satella is possessing Emilia. They look really alike, what a call back to season 1 episode 1, Emilia calling herself Satella, this twist is really very interesting. many people suspect it already. But some people already point out there's a differences between them, their hairpin color, shape, and position is different. I guess theres more to it than just simple possesing Emilia calling herself satella also the timeline where Subaru swear to save her in his dying breath like in this episode |

| That Satella ASMR tho. The animation looked goofy in some places, but still great episode. |

swordmaster2551 said: HanashiD4 said: Think about it... At the previous loop, how did Garfiel retrieve the clones of Ryuzu that should be attained if someone finished the Sanctuary Trial? Did he complete the Trial to attain his protective gear against someone who will leave the trial? Did that trial change his behavior from the previous loop because he already knew the truth behind Subaru's ACTUAL intention? Did he talk to Echidna during the trial, right? Anyway, Garfiel seems to have a harsh background back when he was a child alongside her sibling... or rather half-sibling, Frederica Baumann Also, both of these siblings have different surname: Garfiel Tinsel Frederica Baumann These clues above will be the key idea on how Garfiel's past was tragic from his said dialogue during the same scene... if you want to know a single idea.... Garfiel's goal is to guard the Sanctuary, but he has also the objective to "protect the Sanctuary" by not letting Subaru out of the Sanctuary... well, the reason for his motive will be on the next episode or two or three or somewhere in the second cour.. so I won't spoil you anything further. Subaru's confidence is still slightly sure since he has been through many death loops which he knows everything what Garfiel's mind and plan going on. For sure, Garfiel is insecure from Subaru's plan after going through many loops. His expression can scare Garfiel off since Subaru knows that Garfiel will undergo the trial by himself instead. That's a whole lot of words that doesn't excuse or explain the bad writing. Garfield definitely would have punched Subaru for making him angry based on every other single loop we've seen of him. He definitely would not have picked up on Subaru just teasing him based on Subaru opening and closing his mouth without saying anything lol. No friend, blame your lack of attention rather than the writing itself. Putting aside the fact that Garfiel has already been established as an inconsistent factor in every single loop, have you seen Garfiel himself do something like killing someone? It was only beast form Garfiel, wasn't it? Combine that with several other puzzle pieces like Subaru's specific dialogue/demeanor there or the reason why he was imprisoned in the first place, and you might have your answer. |
AjSb_UwUj said: hope next episodes will give us a clear explanation and if not I think I'll just go pick up the LN. Explanation about what? There's no way all the explanations will fit into a single episode. Most of it will come in the second cour anyway. |

| whewww i finally started this season! i binge watched it all yesterday & today. glad i held off because this series is a BITCH for cliffhangers, oh my god. waiting all these yrs for a s2 made me forget... overall i'm really enjoying it. i love the additional focus on ram and otto (bro tell me why that "friend" scene in the cellar/basement made me cry?!) and the addition of new characters. getting a glimpse at some of the witches too has been dope cause the series kinda humanizes them. it's super interesting to me that they're not typical, one-note "baddies". also the witch of greed is hot fight me i have to say i don't really understand the criticism. it might be more apparent if i watched week-by-week but this season has retained its quality and in fact may have even surpassed s1 in some elements? i get that it feels a little slower due to less action scenes and there's more exposition etc but i think it's all done at a good pace, and again because i've waited so long i forgot how good this show is at tricking you and setting some red herrings haha on a final note, even though i'm not overly fond of his character, i LOOOOVE how much of a wild card garfiel is. it's really refreshing to see someone whose actions can vary significantly by the slightest of changes. really goes against that kind of "everything is predestined" feel the show has - intentionally or not - set up so far |
AjSb_UwUj said: hope next episodes will give us a clear explanation and if not I think I'll just go pick up the LN. i could vary well be wrong but isn't the LN like 16 volumes long... and counting... AND that's only including the ones released in english... good luck with that XD; trust me i've had this thought many times but i'm too lazy, unless they make us wait another 4 years for a s3 then yeah i think i'm with you on this one lmao |

My favorite thing in this post is you still have no excuse for the bad writing on this part other than "no, you just don't get it". There had been literally no indication up to that point that garfiel would be OK with Subaru getting him mad and Subaru acting like an asshole just because of a weird open mouth grin thing. So are you saying that garfiel would be OK to offend him physically first other than to interrogate him further by confrontation? Your “criticism” still makes no sense with out-of-contextual circumstances. You know, Garfiel is the character with passive-aggressive attitude despite he has aggressive finesse since he hasn’t gotten out of Sanctuary in his entire lifetime, which means he doesn’t know and understand what the “outside world” means to him. Garfiel is scared of “outside world” for his lack of understanding which is why he is also scared of Subaru’s confidence since he also comes from “outside world” with knowledgeable competence. |

Idk what you're talking about. Garf was almost ready to kill Subaru immediately with all his provocations but realizes midway that Subaru was controlling the flow of the interaction. From Garf's perspective, Subaru was able to decipher all of his lies and put himself in a disadvantageous position to prove it. |

Released Light Novel english volumes of Arc 4 (anime season 2) June 18, 2019 - Volume 10 October 29, 2019 - Volume 11 February 25, 2020 - Volume 12 <----------- We are here (ep. 10) July 21, 2020 - Volume 13 Next releases: October 20, 2020 - Volume 14 February 16, 2021 - Volume 15 - Arc 4 end. Re:Zero Season 2 Current run: July 2020 to September 2020 <----------- We are here (ep. 10) January 2021 to March 2021 So, by coincidence the end of the second part will reach the end of released light novels in english. After march 2021, the only way to advance in the history is relying the WEB NOVEL, the draft of the Light Novel, and i don't recommend it, since the animation is adapting the LN story, not the WN version. |

There had been literally no indication up to that point that garfiel would be OK with Subaru getting him mad and Subaru acting like an asshole just because of a weird open mouth grin thing. I hate to point things out but fine. Subaru was testing Garfiel, to see if Garfiel would kill him. Subaru deliberately riled him up and was ready to die there. He wanted to see if Garfiel was really capable of killing someone. But he wasn't. This is all explicited in Volume 12 of the Light Novel, or around chapter 70s in the WN. Garfiel was never shown to kill someone, except in his beast form where it was clearly shown he loses control (compare him to Frederica in EP6). Emblemz said: Idk what you're talking about. Garf was almost ready to kill Subaru immediately with all his provocations but realizes midway that Subaru was controlling the flow of the interaction. Tbf it wasn't just that. It was Subaru mostly testing if Garfiel will truly kill him even if riled up to that extent. Of course his complete control of the situation because he didn't fear death at all kinda fucked with Garf a bit too. |

| Echidna experimenting with immortality shenanigans was intriguing, and interestingly enough similar to my own thoughts on how it could be done what with memory transfer and the like. Subaru's speech at the end was nice. He's really grown on me as a character. |
 |
| So, finally Subaru found a way to proceed to the next stages of that tireful arc or Echidna's trial. I am honestly uncertain with my feeling right about now. This arc felt so long than i can imagined before. Lol. Okay, what do i get here? Ah, right, Satella. Garfiel even couldn't do anything. Its understandable. Then Subaru swallowed into her jealousy? Damn, its not a nice place to be stay, worst than hell, worsen than a death, a complete void forever, full of jealousy. Fortunately, Echidna, as known as a witch with every existing knowledged, already protrayed the upcoming situations. Satella arrival, by connecting to the others witches, ofc she became jealous. And Echidna concluded a right thing. Thanks to Echidna 'compensation' Subaru could 'ran away' from that darkness hell of Satella's jealousy. He even get a bonus reward by enter that situations. Holy shit, i can't talked much about the similarity of Satella's body revelations, while Subaru got rid of her cape. Was that the real Emillia, or the real Satella that looks alike her in the past? I don't know shit! Continued. After getting outta hell of it, Subaru need another plan. After received that bonus scenes that he got in Satella realm, he already did the right thing. A checkpoint that could save his next in the next future. Another revelations about Echidna's place. Another revelations of Echidna's past, and her interest why she chose Subaru. All of that explanations just made a sense, which was really appreciated by me. Ryuzu now officially became Subaru's ally, created a big help while he needed it for some future clash. Thank you very much, with its moving plot! Ryuzu banters when she refer her as a bolster for Subaru with the teased she just created, its made me laugh so hard. Another great punched that never believed at my first impression! However, the real problem there was Garfiel reaction over his madness to Subaru. What Subaru knew about his reaction? What Subaru knew about Garfiel's suddenly changed his habits? The secret? If anyone want to explain i am certainly received it with an open hand. Lol. Yeah the plot moving into a huge surprised for me, after Subaru getting that damn trust of Garfiel's: a Betty time, and convinced everyone to moved from that damn mansion. How could it resolved the situations against a nice assassin, Elsa? Let just move in to the next episode! |

| ok i m a bit late to the party but damn that was one good episode , learning some new stuff about Echidna's life and her relation to Ruyzu was pretty interesting , also loving a girl with the same face as the witch you are cursed from is kinda hard , tho i really liked the encounter with Garfiel "I ve seen it many times" actual chills , interesting dialoge with Beako too |

| Welp, that was terrifying, if not for Echidna's little present, Subaru wouldn't have been able to kill himself and reset to escape from the lovely embrace by the witch of envy, Satella. As was told, she looks just like Emilia, I didn't really care for her appearance anyways, what I wanted to know is her personality. Finally, here it is, it's not the end yet, but so far, this is the perfect sequence of events that Subaru have gone through. Nobody died, he's not dead, he learned about Echidna's experiment and how she might've liked Subaru for their similar trait of being somewhat immortal and best of all, he got a 1 on 1 peaceful conversation between him and Emilia all under the full moonlit night. It's as if the world is cheering Subaru to go forth and venture into the impending terror that he has to overcome. Garfiel is such a wild character that his actions vary throughout the resets, but this time, Subaru showed him the confidence and guts of a man who's seen it all. Thus, finally gets back in the mansion early enough to have a nice chat with the pair of maid back home. Aww, Petra got herself a date! |
  |
| I am very confused about what echidna is doing in the real world and why subaru keeps mentioning her. I mean I thought he wasnt going to remember what happened when he talked to her, also wonder what is their influence there. |
| "Miharu denki desu" |
| "I'd take Echidna or any of the other witches over you, Satella" No, Subaru, stop! Jealousy/cuck is her fetish lolz or something. |
| Surprisingly.. Quite good ep O.o |
| Good episode! We learned some more about Ryuuzo's backstory and we were able to see true Satella, haha. ;D Some new mysteries emerged, but to be honest I find Beatrice's secret as the biggest mystery right now. I wonder if Subaru will succeed in saving everyone. |
| the animation was very off model this ep but whatever Subaru’s face is always ugly anyway lol. I just really hate all the info dumps we’ve been getting this season, it makes it harder to enjoy. Anyway I binged the last three ep, here are my suspicions so far: - Roswaal knows about return by death, either bc he has access to the other copy of that book or he’s a witch cultist. But for some reason it doesn’t seem like Beatrice knows (based on past actions) even though she has the “gospel”. Not sure why… but I guess she was just following the books instructions so it might not even matter - Satella only showed up in that one loop because she got jealous of Subaru meeting with the other witches. She is the witch of envy after all. Which is why she freaked and devoured Subaru when he mentioned that he would rather love echidna and the other witches - this one is kinda out there but: Emilia is Satella, and doesn’t know it. First of all, I know Emilia is supposed to look like Satella, but she doesn’t just look similar to her (the way she kinda looks similar to echidna), she’s a straight up carbon copy. The only thing that seems to be different is her accessories, but that doesn’t mean much to me if the person underneath is the same lol. Plus, when Subaru first woke up in that loop Emilia wasn’t there. If she really got devoured by the witch wouldn’t Subaru have been devoured too? I think she woke up and went outside and then became the witch and devoured everyone. ALSO I think this has affected her trial undergoing ability! Shouldn’t Emilia’s reaction to the trial have been the same each time, if she was just Emilia? But somehow she’s different in this latest loop, she seems more confident. Remember she would mutter in her dream “it wasn’t me it wasn’t me”. She didn’t do that this time, I think her becoming Satella in the last loop was her subconscious acknowledging that she IS Satella, so she was able to successfully undergo the trial this time, or at least get better results. The one thing that is throwing a wrench in my theory is that Emilia was once killed by the witch when Subaru tried to tell her about return by death. But she’s the only person who has ever been killed by it, so maybe that means something? At the very least I think they are way more linked than a simple resemblance |

| Shall I divulge Satella's password if she ever has one? It's: "I love you!" Hahahhaha! Okay...that was a lame joke.lol |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
The most stupid line in this entire show... Subaru countered it with "I KNOW HELL" so fkn cool. |
Raizel said: The most stupid line in this entire show... Subaru countered it with "I KNOW HELL" so fkn cool. "You have no idea what pain or suffering even are!" Subaru: "Am I a joke to you?" |
oblivious_22 said: when did she do that????ttcchen said: I'm a bit confused about that hankerchief. How the hell did it turn into a blade for Subaru to kill himself with? Is it cause of what Echidna did? She said she's gonna mess with it a little, so she gave it the power to transform into a blade? Hm, weird. pretty sure that's a flag though re zero wouldn't be the same if the mc wasn't subaru dude, have you paid any attention at all during the first season? Satella is the witch of envy who killed all the other witches and gave subaru the power of Return by Death and is the one who love him. Echidna is the witch of greed and she didn't show up in season 1 at all. Satella is the antagonist, Echidna is not (at the moment). And the reason why Emilia looks like Satella is still a mystery. Also, they do bare an resemblance to Echidna but you should still be able to tell them apart from their colors, design, and clothing. Then why echidna was able to transform into other witches during convo with Subaru ??? |
oblivious_22 said: pretty sure you remembered wrong if you can't even remember cause that never happenedttcchen said: when did she do that???? I don't remember bro during first 6 episodes or something you have check that on your own |
| What the hell... So the envy witch is Emilia, of course not ... I don't really get it but Envy Witch does love Subaru.This is the world's last girl and it looks like it will be nearing the end if seen from the episodes for this season. Subaru began to carry out his plan to save everyone, starting at the Mansion. Subaru asked Frederica to leave the Mansion to escape fate by meeting Elsa. It's just that Beatrice is hard to get along with, that last scene. Over and over again Subaru had died and he had seen hundreds of hells, That's right. The moments with Emilia weren't bad nor did I like seeing them together. I'm still confused about Echidna, is Echidna evil? Is the only person to trust the Envy Witch?Damn this is so hard, after all Envy Witch is also similar to Emilia but she is Satella. Is it reinacrement or something? Idk And also 10/10 for this eps |
  |
| Wow that was a crazy episode, I like the determined look in our hero's eyes! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| i have a theory about Emilia that in future she lost Subaru and then she went back in time and there she created the legend of that witch became that witch who also gave Subaru that power our time so she would loose him second time, but that version of her that lost him still exist until the timeline is changed curvedtree said: Subaru is the cringiest protagonist I have ever seen, Re:Zero would have been a so much better anime if the protagonist wasn't so lame. i bet u would have broken down, mentally broken by new if u were him cause of so Meany times going trough hell like this and u call him lame? if anything its unrealistic that hes not mentally broken yet so if anything hes opposite of lame |

TothSlayer said: re:zero would have no meaning without a pg as subaru he’s questionable and flawed because personal growing it’s the series core. You can dislike him and ironically that was even the writer intention. i don’t think anyone would say he’s a bad written character Subaru is the most bad written character of the whole story, Re:Zero could have been so much more if the author stopped projecting his average reader's personality on that lame ass character, people that like Subaru see themselves, at some level, on him. Just pathetic how the author killed his own story because he had a character like that. Even Emilia's character changed so the author could increase Subaru's relevance, just compare early story Emilia to what we got now. |
