Hello everyone,

Now that the Anime is going into its last episode this week, I've decided to start translating the Re:Zero Web Novel to continue the story just after where the Anime leaves off... so no one ends up dying from Re:Zero withdrawal.

I am starting this at Arc 3 Epilogue II, the second-to-last chapter of the Third Arc. Narratively this should be right after the ending of Episode 25 in the Anime.



*SPOILERS WARNING - READ AFTER EPISODE 25*

Arc 3 Epilogue I only takes place in a dragon carriage and ends in a cliffhanger. Epilogue III is where everything important happens. So no need to worry about missing anything by starting reading from Epilogue II.

https://translationchicken.com/2016/09/21/rezero-web-novel-fan-translation-table-of-contents/

At the moment it takes me about 28 hours to translate a whole chapter to a final enjoyable-to-read version.
For the near future I'll be aiming for 1 - 2 chapters a week, though I'll definitely speed up as I get better.

I hope you like it!

Great job, thanks a lot.

Reading this in novel format is in some ways better than watching it, since you can get insight into the character's minds.

Yep. The point where Ep 24 ended was a bit too early for this having a good chance of being included. If we get a Season 2 I can see the anime starting off with this through.

All of this is with the assumption that this scene still exists in the LN version. We have no idea if Tappei did change the ending of the third arc and the epilogue chapter or not.

Hmmm. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to decide to do a project.

I'd say goodluck, as I've tried doing ln translations before and it was tedious.

Thanks for the good work! Even though @DarklordVor did some spoilers on this chapter last week, there's nothing better than reading the whole thing with this fan-translation!

But it's good to know he wasn't lying about the spoilers :p at first I thought it was weird that he said Regulus was there just by accident. But this translation also said the same thing, so now I believe it lol.

Ohh someone actually translated the itadakimasu chapter. I remembered reading that and be like "Rem is best girl damn it" spewing two cool lines moments before her "death"

Then I rethink again about how stupid was Rem in that scene because that cool scene killed her lol. One does not simply tell their name to an Archbishop of Gluttony, although in her defense, she barely knows anything about Ley.

Now this is why I said that it would not fit in episode 25. There are a few reasons I can come up with:

1. the first epilogue (a chapter before this one) is a damned cliffhanger ending, the Re:Zero way of ending

2. this is a flashback scene that would not fit in episode 25 chronologically unless they put epilogue 2 (a chapter after this one).

3. they have to come up with what the 2 archbishops would look like since there are still no official pictures of them (unless Otsuka drew them already)

4. they also have to make a contract with 2 voice actors for


5. It gives more mystery to surround the series' ending of what happened to Rem. Which will attract more Remfags to watch season 2 to know what happened to Rem.

6. Not enough screentime. Chapter 84 is too glorious for Emilia fans.

I agree with you. I've also said that this would've fit better for a season 2 prologue. Otherwise the ending would end up a bit "happily" than "despairly"

A few weeks ago you were so sure that Tappei won't change the ending when I mentioned about the removal of a certain scene in episode 20-21 lol. But the ending was already sealed with a few facts remember?


As much as I wanted the ending of arc 3 to be changed, we have to face it. It ain't gonna happen HAHAHAAHAHA. Oh God... I'm so enjoying this after crying so much.

I said that the total end of the arc will most likely be the same but not that every single scene will remain the same as in the WN, that's what I'm talking about now.

Who says that the entire epilogue chapter will still be at this position chronologically and that it will still be the exact same? It could be implemented into the main chapters which makes omitting this scene impossible. Other scenes could be rewritten so that they aren't as long. Arc 3 has been rewritten and refined a lot so who stops Tappei from revamping the composition of the ending while keeping the same endresult? Part of the entire transfer into the LN is to make it more soothing to read and easier to adapt it into an anime.

All of this here is based on the assumption that Tappei won't change a single thing about any scene in the upcoming chapters which is, let's be honest very unlikely.

Let's face the facts that no one can make any predictions about what will be in the last episode and what not until you have the LN in your hands and read it which won't happen prior to the last episode.

You already have my thanks for translating at reddit but nice that you're posting it here as well^^

The last part was really emotional, to be continued in part III...

Lol seems like every sin archbishop has his "my...trembles" line. If this will be explained in the future? Tappei nearly writes nothing without hidden agendas.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all your encouragement, I really appreciate it! The first part of next chapter is still on its way for September 17th! I think this time I will split the chapter into smaller chunks and release them as I finish each one, that way the wait time isn't as long as a few days at a time.

The "trembles" wasn't emphasized in Japanese as much as the way I translated it. Since it was hard to tell exactly what it would sound like if Japanese had capital letters, I erred on the side of more crazy=more fun, as long as I don't change the original intended meaning.

Right now I'm trying to make Interlude III live up to the emotional ending of Interlude II, but it's not easy. In that chapter the other aspects of the plot can be potentially distracting if I don't use every chance I get to emphasize Subaru's emotions for Rem.

Unlike the LN, the WN is freely available to the public so I think it's alright to translate to make it readable to those who don't understand Japanese. I will post a link to the Author's WN chapter whenever I post a translation.

I'm 24, living in Vancouver Canada, I love Re:Zero too much to let it stop for 2 or 3 years. Since I already plan to read all the Web Novels, why not translate it so everyone else can read it too?
Also it's quite a very different experience to translate a novel rather than just reading it. It feels "deeper", you aren't just perceiving the story, you are actually "living" it or "becoming" it before you can write it down again in a different language, if that makes any sense.

Thank you so much for this :)!
Oh I know how this feels. I'm only about 14 months in to learning Japanese so I'm only at a amateurish level. I take longer to read certain phrases and while I slowly find out their meaning the impact of the scene stucks was more with me. It's like tons of little cliffhanger that you place upon yourself.

Anyway, thanks again for doing this.

The first section of Interlude III is out!

***Warning, Major Spoilers before Episode 25***
https://translationchicken.com/2016/09/17/rezero-arc-3-interlude-iii-to-each-their-oaths16/

This first section of the chapter was a little difficult to translate, because very subtle wording can change the entire meaning and emotional impact of the whole scene. For example,


Once again I hope you enjoyed it. I decided to split this chapter by the Author’s section dividers ※, which becomes 6 parts. This way I can release a bit more frequently as soon as I finish translating a section.

The next part, 2/6 will be ready in a few hours!

I think this show turn from Re zero to Rem zero
Everything is about Rem even the eploiuge that I was wishing for Subaru and Emilia moment for a long time it will be for Rem and the side story when Subaru marry Rem,the news of crunchyroll is just for rem , the best girl is for Rem , the whole discussion in many forums is about Rem, the question for the author was just about Rem and best ship is subaru and Rem ...100% of people shipping it (even if this ship doesn't really make sense because Rem's first appearance was just Ram's twin sibling while Emilia was love from the first sight and from the first episode!!!) while main ship (Subaru and Emilia ) has so many haters and 0.01% this ship is going to happen while Rem and subaru is 99.99% after revealing the kids designs in side story is going to happen and also after reavealing that subaru love both rem and emilia (its so fucking clear that Rem is going to win if he mentioned that he love both).
I'm really disappointed from Teppi's way of writing the story... if he wants Subaru and Rem that much let her at least appear from the start as unique character and not as twin sister who like to teas Subaru and revealing the love interest for a long time while Emilia was first .
I'm fucking done with this bulshit I mean really.

Dude, calm the hell down. Subaru and Emilia had a big moment before this scene. This only small part of the overall story anyway. Tappei simply giving Rem her dues here because of what happened. She has become another important figure in his life and should be accepted, that is all. Emilia has nothing to do with that and doesn't effect their relationship or Subaru's feelings for her. The epliogue isn't solely about Rem either, just one part of it. You're seeing it because thr TC is a big fan of her character.

Arc 3 Interlude III Part 2/6 is finally done!

For a not very long segment, this gave me a lot of headaches! 4:30am it felt like all the translated passages didn't work at all. Then waking up 8:30am this morning it looked fine. Damn you brain!

Here it is:
https://translationchicken.com/2016/09/18/rezero-arc-3-interlude-iii-to-each-their-oaths26/

I managed to get through the whole segment without using "He/Him/His" to refer to Ferris. Whew. It feels more natural this way I think, keeping Ferris' gender ambiguous during the narration. If I use "he" it sounds like there is hair on his arm...

Part 3/6 should be available late tonight

It's actually Web Novel. The series started as Web Novel and then Light Novel. The Web Novel is currently at Arc 6 and the LN and anime stopped at Arc 3.

The main difference is arcs mean the a chunk of ongoing story for WN (like Arc 1 is when Subaru first appearance in Lugunica facing off Elsa (episode 1-3), Arc 2 is the Mansion Arc (episode 4-11) and Arc 3 is Lugunica loyal selection with Petelgeuse's Arc's last boss (episode 12-25)) while volume just means the volume of the LN with volume 1 covers Arc 1, volume 2 and 3 covers Arc 2, and volume 4-9 covers Arc 3.
