Welp, a surprise test. I guess anything can happen at school even with all these goofballs in it.

Poor Ainz, seems he was totally unprepared lol

A test! Now that's more like a school event.

And seriously, Aqua is just carrying this season so far. I'd love to give some credits to Tanya in this episode as well, her view of only black and white and exaggerate on it is always funny too.

It was ok, but it doesn’t have the charm of last season. Where’s the Shield Hero crew? It would be pretty funny if they were already gone.

Just asking coz I kind of forgot but why is Subaru able to move ? Is it connected to the strange hands that appear when he says he can revive ? Please no spoil on LN I plan to read it some time later/watch season 2

Btw it's kind of funny that Ainz acknowledged Aqua as a goddess when even Kazuma doesn't consider her as one

Lol, this was a Great episode!

It's not school without exams, right? And expectations... Condolences Ainz-dono xD. But hey, things somehow just about worked out for him so that's a relief for now. Lmfao, the pattern though, I hope my exam board would do the same too.

Aqua really set up the death flag from the very start, meanwhile. Much like the usual indeed, lol. And then busted! Who else than the useless goddess herself, good lord. I could tell Subaru would be used to this (as in scamper and pretend all's good y'know), but who would've Tanya too?

Didn't expect Tanya and Subaru to be unaffected by the "tenth-tier magic" though. Seems like they've had their fair share of trouble to become immune to that xD. Subaru's condition is still unknown to Ainz, and that's no surprise. I wonder how long they'll keep this up.

Interesting duo between the two thieves of the two different shows. But Kazuma the MVP - stealing panties, now that sure brings back so much memories, lmao.

I see they're staying true to the Isekai QUARTET barring the first episode still. Well, I'm not complaining though.

This episode was amazing. It's was soooo satisfying to see Aqua getting caught cheating,she deserves it. I can understand why Aqua and Tanya weren't frozen by Momonga's spell,but Subaru? I have no idea why him having curse is that powerful,but oh,whatever. I am hoping to see more of Raphtalia and Filo,they are soooo cuteee :) I wonder will Naofumi open up to his classmates and become friends with my favorite characters.

If god himself tried to create something perfect it still wouldnt come close to this gem.

The best thing is probably how they throw in little hints from the originals. This is superb.

Aqua once again confirmed to be OP but too stupid.

A test event huh. Ain's retainers reactions to the test though sure was amusing. Only Aqua can see Ain's query as a challenge though lol. As ever the result was as expected. Puck though sure has it easy in this world. Its nice to see Felt and Chris again. Funny how time stop worked on anyone but Aqua though. Guess those that were affected by gods developed an immunity to their powers. The results of the test though was quite surprising considering Ain's fear during it.

Finally, an actually good and funny episode in this season. I was beginning to worry this show has lost its charm from last season, but my faith was restored with this :)

Curious about Subaru's comment on studying with both Rem and Emilia (I should definitely take advantage of the director's cut to re-watch the first season in time for the upcoming new season), or why Subaru's curse allows him to move in frozen time (I'm assuming it's either because the nature of the curse relates to time, or something we'll find out in season 2).

Although Rezero's cast and world aren't as strong as the others in the show, Rezero's world got some of the most broken over powered villians that can probably counter even the great Ainz, and the witch is the second most OP character in Rezero that not only the curse itself is OP, everytime he dies or talks about the curse, the curse and the witch powers through Subaru gets stronger.

Funniest episode of this second season by some distance, but it raises several questions about Subaru and Beatrice, not least the implication that they've all been there a lot longer than they realise; and it again seems to hint that there's some kind of connection between Subaru's abilities and Beatrice (something which Re:Zero S2 will hopefully get a chance to expand upon).

Also, it really is interesting how much faster-paced this season is compared to S1, which seemed to really take its time (particularly in its first half).

Man that line caught me off guard, and kinda had me feeling sad for a sec.

But basically, ainz's real world was pretty much a dystopia and some people have it real rough. Ainz never finished his education before he had to throw himself into the workforce as his mother died from overwork. Demi's creator was also in the same kind of condition with his parents dying at work iirc, which kinda contributed to his 'pursuing evil' personality which rubbed off on demi.

Like the world even had toxic air, and it wasn't uncommon to see orphan corpses on the street. It was not a pleasant world.

Yeah. It's not in the main story aside from some small hints and mentions that people would miss, but we get a much better picture of it in the side story of the guild's first creation.

It was super fucked up because ainz even recalled how his mother died in the kitchen while trying to make his favorite dish even after being overworked.

A test in class...that's an uncontested thing in another world!

And out of everyone, I'm quite surprised that Ains would be the worrywart, and Aqua being challenged is funnily good. With that, everyone is diligently studying to avoid failing.

And...Ains revealed his Time Stop skill, but then Tanya, Aqua and Subaru are immune to it which are LOLZ. Aqua getting the boot in the end is just funny and Ains, his MCQ sheet becoming something of a face-job joke.

Genuinely funny episode, finally a good one.

You say no spoil, but it's from the very beginning and a necessary plot device of Re:Zero: Subaru has the power to go back in time, so still being able to move when time is stopped isn't a far fetch.

If you had seen KonoSuba you would know that Kazuma does consider Aqua a goddess as she is the one that resurrected him to another world when he died. He goes around saying she isn't one just to spite her.

Those tests look like scantrons, and I'm pretty sure they don't work like that. It's only suppose to be one bubble per row. Still funny though. That aside, this episode exemplifies why the main four series are perfect together and this anime doesn't need other series shoehorned in. Definitely the best episode of those currently out.

An episode focused on the most alarming event in a school, exams.
I laughed too much with this group, I was surprised that Ainz was the most worried, I always saw him as someone of average intelligence, able to have a decent grade.
Aqua immediately knew that it would be torture to have Tanya as a teacher so she declined her help respectfully.

It was no big surprise that Chris and Felt became friends, they have the same air and their vocation as thieves makes them close, but I laughed too much when Kazuma reminded us of the glorious moment in which he stole Chris's panties

Already knowing how desperate Ainz was for the exam, added to the stupid bet with Aqua, I assumed that Ainz would use some magic for his convenience and when he stopped the time I already thought that the result would be more than obvious, but when I saw that Aqua had not been affected, I started laughing non-stop and this did not stop then Tanya and Subaru joined the party too, Ainz discovered that these three classmate are at the same level of the king of the tomb of Nazarick

In the end Aqua takes the worst part (as always) and Ainz passes the exam with luck, since Pandora's actor was the one who wrote the exam for the class.

In the end, three things from this episode can be rescued, Aqua is still the stupid goddess everyone loves, Ainz's intimidation doesn't work on stupid goddesses and finally Ainz has three classmates that he should keep an eye on.

Tanya being immune to time stop makes a lot of sense since Being X stops time quite a lot to talk to him/her.

The answers to the test though... oh man lmao.

They hinted at something again with Beatrice, how she noticed Subaru trying to remember how long they'd been trapped in that school.

I liked the episode. I thought it was funny when Aqua got caught cheating twice. I understand why Tanya, Subaru, and Aqua were able to move with no problem during his Time Stop; but why couldn't Kazuma move? I thought he was in the same boat as Tanya and Ainz. Could someone explain why he couldn't move? Also, I liked how Megumin was supportive and saying that Kazuma would pass the test.

Gotta love the being X memes tho, Tanya just needs to make fun of commies next only for ainz to make a joke about some war that completely destroyed the functioning sci-fi society he lived in only for kazuma to make a really sad remark about shut-ins.
This will be done.

That is why Ainz is surprised when he sees the clear sky for the first time, his real world is horrible.
