| I don't know what it is, but in both of the anime's I've seen with seven deadly sins themed characters, the greed based character seems to be a sort of a good guy. Anyways, looks like Echidna seems to be the caring mother type right now. I don't know if this is just a mask though. |
 |
| Subaru should carry something on him that allows for instantaneous death, so he doesnt have to watch all that suffering. |
| damn, Echidna really is second best girl (after Rem, of course) and is very close, at that. I really like her. Subaru has some major characterisation as he finally is able to release his emotions. I'm glad his character arc is developing this way. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |

StarAlone said: There is no plot hole. Subaru has 5 days before Elsa's attack on the mansion. Last time she appeared earlier because Subaru returned earlier than she was told.the only thing i disliked was how he was trying so hard to escape like he was going to. We all know and he (should at least...) that after 3 days everyone in the mansion would be dead so he just had to restart anyway, but i guess that's a little plot hole to drive story into scene with rabbits and then with Echidna |

StarAlone said: mozgow said: There is no plot hole. Subaru has 5 days before Elsa's attack on the mansion. Last time she appeared earlier because Subaru returned earlier than she was told. Hmm? Later i'll watch it again to confirm it, but she from what i recall, she was at the 'right time'. When Subaru rushed on the very next day to the mansion and met her anyway, from what i remember that was the plan. To kill everyone and wait 3 days for Subaru, but she was suprised by him being already inside. Maybe im mixing up some facts, but after Subaru was locked inside by Garfiel, even if he rushed to the mansion, all would be already dead anyway, right? See what Elsa told to Subaru (from LN, but is the same in Crunchyroll translation) “It was supposed to be two maids and one ‘shut-in,’ and everything was supposed to be timed to coincide with your return…” |

Livius2001 said: The cringe and the lack of consequences should be obvious by now, yet the fanboys are so delusional that they still praise it Well everyone has different tastes when it comes to dialogues but personnal I really like them. They're a bit on the cringy side sometimes but that's pretty much the point and the goal of the author. About the lack of consequences, it's not exactly true and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that side characters very rarely get long term consequences past Subaru's Return by Death. You see, the show is more about Subaru going through stuff ~ alone ~ over and over. If you haven't noticed yet you're much better dropping the show, because it literally smashes that in our faces every episode and missing such an obvious fact would mean not listening to it. Personally speaking, I would call Subaru's state after everything that happens a consequence, and Rem's state as well. The next two episodes will present to us a potential true consequence that could happen to Subaru if he messes up. If you don't relate to Subaru's suffering it's probably not for you either. It's also not my fault if you've missed the dozens of plot points since the start of the series; It's Re:Zero greatest strength after all. If it wasn't for this, I'd probably just find Re:Zero "cool and different" but I wouldn't praise it like I currently do. |
dragynfaerie said: The anime cut this part, but at the begging of the conversation Subaru asked if the promise from three days ago is still in place (the one in which Roswaal promised to say only truth). Roswaal said it was meant to be only for that one night but then added that he will not be picky about details and agreed to it.I still don't believe Roswal. If that book gave Betty the ability to see the future, why didn't she know Big Boobies (totally blanked on her nam) was going to burst through the door? And there's a reason why Beatrice did not know. You can PM me if you don't mind a spoilery answer. |

Marenwynn said: At this point, why in the world doesn't Subaru carry poison? π Where would he get it? He has not been in this world for a long time. Also he would need a certain poison with a certain dosage to be deadly and quick about it. he might take some poison which would make his death even more miserable than a death by a blade is. |

| Come on, Lugunica is so dangerous and Subaru is so fragile that find a "insta-death" kind of poison or spell would be the least difficult task. The biggest issue would be to explain to others why he would be interested in it.

Marenwynn said: At this point, why in the world doesn't Subaru carry poison? π That is a good idea for a "professional" use of RbD, but first Subaru is the one that needs to "realize" something about it. Btw, the end scene of this episode was so much "fan service" to me (since the start of this season it was bugging me why Subaru didn't tried to discuss anything about his condition with Equidna), that i could not resist and i read just the sequence of this meeting with the Witch (beginning of Ep. 9) and: |

| @QcDiablo hehe, you know that when you say "not wanting to ruin it but" already means "you are wrong and it is not going to happen" right? I'm not opening the spoiler btw.

Anyway, No story is perfect for me (unlike looks like to be for the fandom that deny any critics). One moment the author is brilliant, and it does not prevents him to shit everything next. -------------------- About this episode, no spoiler (i haven't read about the explanation of that), about all that snow, suddenly i realized about something:  - The Sanctuary was empyt and surely after Garfiel rage, deaths, Subaru's 2nd disappearance, there is no way for Emilia had overcome the trials. - If she was not released from Sanctuary, and she is absent, and there is thousands of Piranha Rabitts around... it all means she died. - And it is well known. When Emilia dies, Puck End's Beast is going to frozen the world. So, maybe the time skip of this teleportation was shorter than we imagined. |

Garf killed Emilia, and then Puck enlisted the help of these snow bunnies to help destroy the world. It seems they would be good for doing just that, besides, Puck is only one Great Spirit, even for him it would take a while to destroy the whole world. He needed some help from the horde of man-eating bunnies to push the job along. I’m only half-kidding though :) |
| Such a beautiful episode. Depressing as well. Subaru's suffering made me cry. Rabbit scene was scary AF. Echidna best girl. |

WTF, is it not enough that she save him numerus occasion , now just because she has that "gospel" book thing don't make her Subaru's enemy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, So, all that "Returning by Death" thing is making Subaru go boo hu hu mental.... Good thing that Echidna is there to comfort him.....TBFH , I'd wish he just go back to the real world and just be a loser for the rest of his life. You did not listened to her last episode right? She told him that everything she did was because the gospel told her. Why wouldn't he suspect her or at least have doubts |
| I don't know if it was in the previous OP animation (probably not) but I've noticed something this time. |

| Oh my god. He finally got to confide in someone. Finally. Gosh that scene tightened my chest up so bad. This must be one of the biggest reliefs he's ever felt since the very beginning of his adventure. |

lol my bad. I tried to find that post since I saw before it but didn't remember where it was. |
| One of the best episodes of Re:Zero tbh, but maaan, that rabbit scene will sure give me some nightmares in the next couple days lol. |
 |
| Imma be real with yall, This season has no where near the emotional bite that the first season had. Like seriously, if you guys are considering this episode one of the best Re:zero episodes you've seen, you obviously care more for shock factor and gore than coherent emotional buildup and catharsis from character development. Not a bad episode per se, but still not really that exceptional either. |
| Damn, this Roswaal really know everything, huh. Also, this mean that Satella's power can't reach on Echidna's "realm" and maybe the other witch too, now that's interesting. And seems like Echidna know everything about Subaru since he came to this world, as expected from witch I guess. |

Not a bad episode per se, but still not really that exceptional either. Most of people here praised the revealing scene this episode not the rabbit scene dude. Season 1 with 8 eps I think has the same numbers. I mean just looking by the numbers of comments about the goddamn rabbits, it seems like there is more talking about the rabbits than the reveal. I will say that the Beatrice scene was a return to form of the first season, and was among the best parts of this season so far. On the other hand, the entire reveal of Subaru's powers to Echidna was poorly executed. All together, Subaru's interactions with Echidna have never really been that good. The tonal shift after his death to the scene with Echidna was incredibly odd. Regardless if it's canon that Echidna can take away the fear and other negative emotion from a person when they enter into her void, what they do with Subaru after he comes back to the tea party thing is just poor writing. He goes from an incredibly traumatic scene wherein he gets eaten by rabbits, to the floor in the sanctuary, to slamming his head into the ground so hard that it bleeds, and then to a tea conversation where he talks jovially with Echidna. Then, after messing around with Echidna and accidentally drinking some of her body fluids, the tone gets serious again, and then Subaru starts crying after he finally is able to tell someone that he can Return by Death. Like what the fuck, the emotional state you're in just kind of goes all over the place. Again, looking back at the Beatrice scene, or any of the better scenes throughout the 1st or 2nd season, you will see that the key is tonal consistency. Any interaction with Subaru and Echidna is so wildly inconsistent that any development that occurs when one is in the presence of the other feels slightly artificial. Given that massive plot points hinge on their interaction, it just becomes harder to feel as emotionally invested in development when it doesn't have the genuineness of the 1st season. |

| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
