| Noooooo you can't ! Not Rem :'( I didn't expect that re:zero/10 |

| Fucking called it! I knew it was Rem. Her blue eyes gave it away in the last episode. Another great episode. They really know how to get you excited in the last 5 minutes of the damn episode lol. Really like the shuttle hints of character development for Ram and Rem. I feel like they have been through a lot together. Wasn't surprise to see that it was Rem, but I still don't know why. I mean the first time it seem like they were think he was a spy. The second day thought everything was good. Now it just seems like Rem wants to kill him. Man I can't wait for the next episode. |

| Holy crap, it was REM?! I did not expect that. Why her? I always thought, it was Ram or Roswaal. Great, great cliffhanger. Also the ogre story (which i am familiar with since Ore Monogatari!) was very interesting, that's probably the story of Ram and Rem in a nutshell. We know of magicians now (Beatrice and Puck can use mana drain) |
| I still don't know what is exactly her reason behind this. Beatrice is quite nice. |
| great ep, i do enjoy it even if its slow paced. its relaxing until the end where it gets intense. |
 |
| At first, I thought Subaru's walking the hall while Beatrice following her. He also late to realize about her sarcasm about "pest". LOL Never bored hearing that Roswaal accent, and now Ram's not sneezing which makes everybody suspicious (?) If only that Red and Blue Ogre story Subaru brought have a visualization just like the first episode of Ore Monogatari. I'll be crying for sure. |

OniiChanStopThat said: Where did you see blue eyes in the last episode? If I'm not wrong it was towards the ending when Subaru stood up and looked at the door. |
|
| WHAT Rem is the killer? |
| Reddit would probably give me a -90 if I posted there, but did anyone else get turned off by Emilia's laugh? I mean, this girl can grow flowers with her smile, but her VA did kind of a shit job this week. Meh. 4/5 |
✧ |
| Well that was a bit predictable with how either of the maids was most likely the killer but still, the execution is on point so I'm still fine with it |
  |
| Oh I have such a good time reading these responses. I couldn't help but grin like an Idiot when the majority of people suspected Roswaal or Ram but in the end it's probably the least suspected one. Now I really look forward to the theories about why she would do that ( although it's almost impossible to predict ) :)! |

| I started to become more suspicious about Rem and Ram, but I thought Ram would have been the killer after the way she reacted to Subaru's story about the ogres. Let's see if he can get through this without dying. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

The only blue-ish looking thing seems to be the chandelier. Can you give me a timestamp? Wait... Wait... Oh it... It might have been... just the chandelier.. Well you know what they say you win some you lose some lmao. My bad. The first time it look like eyes, but hey I still got it right, that must count for something, right? |
|
| I had my worries because Fappa told me that they ended the episode in the midst of this part. But in the end, that works in favor of the series. It's one hell of a cliffhanger and the important parts aren't cut out. Episode 7 will be great for sure. Yautja said: Beatrice is fantastic, she's my fav. It irritates me seeing Subaru get such a bad draw over and over. No real reward for his almost altruistic nature, only end in pain and despair. Also, anyone notice that Rem and Ram match the Ogres colors and natures in story, interesting eh? The foreshadowing in this anime is really strong. Even the ending (episode 5) had a lot of hints concerning the future story development. Madara22 said: I always knew it was Rem !! Omg it's one of the few times I have been right !!! Good job. But don't worry, the problem will be twisted to the point where only the viewers, who pick up the clues between the lines (and foreshadowing) will be able to predict the story. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
| Ha! Remurin finally got recognized by people! Anyway, it seems my prediction on the pacing is wrong. We're gonna spend the next first half episode showing how Rem is scarier than Elsa. |
 |
| WTF REM?!?!! YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Huh, unlike the manga/LN Subaru getting thrown out of Betty's room has now become a gag. lol Smudy said: Without spoiling, was it good pacing again and was the episode good in general for you LN readers? I thought it was fine, especially because got across necessary world building, characterization and as well as shown Subaru investigating the problem at hand now that he knows how he was killed. Smudy said: Also the ogre story (which i am familiar with since Ore Monogatari!) was very interesting, that's probably the story of Ram and Rem in a nutshell. Yes, judging by her reaction and her comment about not telling this story to Rem their pasts probably parallel that. It gives you an idea what kind of relationship they actually have. Barion-Zara said: And this time he wasn't poisoned so I guess it really was the dog since he wasn't bitten this time. If anything he wasn't ever poisoned to begin with. Going by what Betty said he must have of been cursed somehow with an effect similar to mana drain. |
Iron_MawMay 8, 2016 11:40 AM
| WTF? I was expecting Ram, not Rem. How could she kill him last time, after that smile? Maybe in the previous loop it was Ram and in this it's Rem? I will probably have to re-watch the episode to get some theory :-) |

OniiChanStopThat said: What I don't understand is that in the first two cycles, he overstayed his welcome, was considered to be a spy, and then murdered in the night. Ok. Fine. But this time he decided to freeload for a bit, and then decided to leave. If he's leaving doesn't that make it seem less suspicious? Why would they still execute him? Is him having knowledge of Emilia being a contender for the next Queen/King supposed to be classified or something? If that's the case, then he's pretty much sentenced to death on Day 1 (ep 1A) considering how he runs into Emilia immediately after being transported to this world. That leads to this burning question I have. Why was he chosen to be transported to this new world in the first place. How come he couldn't just finish his shopping at the supermarket normally that fateful day? So many questions that all will be explained by the story itself. Just keep on watching and you'll be enlightened while the author throws you into the dark yet again :) |
| the twins are are my waifu... but that ending in the end..... noooooooooo Subaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu |
 |
| Great episode. Emilia-tan being cute as usual <3 I really got to hand it to Subaru for being able to remain so cheerful and optimistic despite going through all that. Losing his interactions with people and even dying a painful death, Props to the guy. The ogre story and Subaru and Ram's respective views on it was pretty interesting. So the killer was Rem, Can't say I expected it to be her but I was mildly suspicious. |
 |
| Anyone else think this felt like the shortest episode yet? Seriously, that episode felt like it was 10 minutes long! And of course it ends when we finally get somewhere... |
| Another great episode. I guess the nitpickers last week can now shut up as Subaru did indeed do research now when he knows how he dies. The suspect who is doing it is also interesting and lines up with expectations. Poor Subaru never expected that the one targeting him might be in the household. So this does confirm Ram and Rem as specifically Ogres, right? which still fits since its still a kind of demon. 5/5 OniiChanStopThat said: What I don't understand is that in the first two cycles, he overstayed his welcome, was considered to be a spy, and then murdered in the night.

That leads to this burning question I have. Why was he chosen to be transported to this new world in the first place. How come he couldn't just finish his shopping at the supermarket normally that fateful day? The way I see it they could not get to poison him so got desperate maybe? Since the poisoning seems to happen that evening sometime either during or before he went to sleep. And int his retry he genuinely acted like a spy. |

How come he couldn't just finish his shopping at the supermarket normally that fateful day? I would kill him as well. He shows really suspicious behavior, which makes him a threat for Emilia and all inhabitants of the mansion. First he wakes up totally in fear and in the next moment he acts cheerful. What is he now? Then Ram comes quite a few times in his room. He tries to hide his notes instantly but Ram could have noticed it as well. Ram and Rem displayed a hostile attitude too. And his request could give rise to suspicions. His "real" personality remained hidden to everybody else. Why would you trust such a person? Subaru didn't really treat Ram and Rem well too. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending. |
| Rem responding to Subaru being interested in demons was a dead giveaway, but I like the several misdirections they played, so it still kept you guessing. |
 |
OniiChanStopThat said: In Ep 4 and Ep 5, where could he have been cursed? What about in this episode? Now that is question isn't it? All we know at this point only two thing could produced the effect that killed him, either being mana drained which only Betty and Puck know how to do or gotten cursed. At this point I think we can only assume that Rem was the one cursed him going the information available. |
| Well, another fantastic episode. Seems like the killer was revealed in this episode, but I didn't expect Rem to be the one. I can imagine how shocked Subaru became the moment he saw her face, damn. |

mozgow said: WTF? I was expecting Ram, not Rem. How could she kill him last time, after that smile? Maybe in the previous loop it was Ram and in this it's Rem? It is most likely as you said. Last episode Subaru talked a lot with Rem, so Ram killed him. In this episode, he talked a lot with Ram, so Rem killed him. But I think that both of them were aware about Subaru's fate It is just all about "who does the dirty job" |
| IMHO, Subaru is the least likable character in this anime. Idk what's the deal with him, trying to overdo everything. But beside that, the anime again proved how it can play the same scenario a different times. The talk with Ram and Beatrice were interesting. And again that cliffhanger! |
 |
| @OniiChanStopThat There is no translation of the light novel yet. The only thing is, you could read the manga which is around 2 episodes ahead of the anime. Still I recommend waiting for next week's episode because the best way to experience what awaits us with this episode 7 is blind. |
| Also that note that Subaru mentioned Rem and him did not go to village this time since he stayed as a guest... |

No matter what he does, it always leads to exactly some conflict, he can only change a variables slightly or make circumstances marginally different, but conflict cannot be entirely avoided. It seems like he goes through a scripted encounter and only thing he can do is to merely try to enter the fight slightly more prepared than before, but it is impossible to avoid it completely. It doesn't seems to be possible to avoid fight with Elsa, same goes with strange twin maids. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
ColdBreeze said: Nobody mentioned Puck? He is just awesome. Yes! Especially his change of voice height is hilarious. :D Even in the manga he is pure awesomeness. Probably the funniest "character" in Re:Zero. OniiChanStopThat said: Very legitimate points. The question I have though is that if they think he is a threat, why not torture him for information and then kill him instead of simply killing him from the get-go. That does not add up. You could argue that he is acting too suspicious to be professional and have any ties to big shots in the politics. So they deemed him as no bigger threat, thus executing him on the spot spares energy and nerves. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending. |
Drake1000 said: The MC makes some really questionable decisions, his goal should be to do everything to prevent him from being killed but no he's just hanging around with everyone living there and hitting on Emilia, he better succeed the next time since he's probably gonna die against blue maid, he's retarded enough already as it is. In other words, he tries to play Dark Souls like dating simulator and doesn't even realize he is doing in wrong. |

| Interesting. While the same requirements for this bad end must've been along the same lines as at least the previous episode. it appears that 1. The attack happened earlier, 2. At a different place, but presumably with the same attacker. The thing that's got my attention is the chain sound effect when the lord came through the doorway. It was purposely the same effect as when Subaru was killed in the last episode (at least by his surprised perception) but more clearly it matches the weapon Rem is carrying. It may have been just to mislead is at that point. My question now is whether this was a job set by the lord or some reaction by getting too close to either of the maids? Assuming his first death in the mansion was due to over exerting himself after being drained by the loli is canon, we can conclude the promise he made with Emilia had no particular bearing on his assassination. The time of the attack was likely sped up due to him remaining close to the mansion after his early departure. His request to be a house guest this times would make him less suspicious, I guess. I'm assuming he saw what the lord gave him, and is either literal money or something of valuable appearance. With that noted, would he still order a hit against him? Or, was this simply an impulsive move by Rem? Did Rem also kill him previously? Or, perhaps not? Unlike their chores, their skills as combatants were not brought into question. If the running gag does follow (of whether or not Ram has a purpose) it is possible Rem was the killer on both counts. If this, as mentioned earlier, has relation towards his interaction with the twins it may be possible the two then share information, come to a consensus and either coin flip for Subaru's head or Rem fulfills the deed as the more competent one. |
