This episode is keeping up with the hype of all the others. Excellent cliffhanger which leaves lots of room for imagination.
I for one, think that he'll try to kill himself after entering the mansion.
Or, he'll get captured by those anime KKK inside the mansion. If he does, the leader will probably someone we already know.

There is a reason for this word "obsession". If it was something you could snap out of so easily, it wouldn't be an obsession.

Those shadow guys bowed before Subaru. He has a somekind of thing, that grants the potential of a leader? Thats seems cool. :D

The rest was mediocre. Subaru is more and more annoying in every episode. RIP Rem tho.

But now, my think about Subaru is he thought he's the only one to help Emilia, Rem/Ram but he's not the only one.. I don't learn the LN, but I hope he will be more confident about that.. I know he want to do his best for his friends but he's too weak actually.

I can understand how some people might find Subaru annoying because of the way he sometimes externalizes the same feeling often, but I honestly thought this episode was the series best since episode 7. Subaru is also becoming one of the most interesting protagonists that I have seen in a while. I kinda hope that if they do another time loop it starts AFTER the harsh Emilia talk as I feel it would be inappropriate to negate all the consequences that happened. I also felt that early on Subaru and Emilia's relationship wasn't going to realistically work. I am actually so glad they didn't do the "she likes him because he is protagonist" it made her a much more human and interesting character.



This is my first post in any episode discussion because I usually like to forge my own opinions and ignore other people's comments, but I am pretty surprised at some of the dividing thoughts. Its actually quite interesting! Some may disagree, but I like the ballsy direction the show is taking surrounding Subaru's character. I always suspected early on there was something off about him, but this definitely confirms it.


I sort of have a guess as to what is going on (I have never read the source, this is purely my own speculation). Two things that stood out to me: He actively rejects ANYONE including Rem, who goes against his choices ESPECIALLY when they appear reduce him as worthless or helpless in Subaru's eyes. Another was a scene where he opens the door in the village and has no reaction. The second scene suggests that he is losing his touch with reality. It could be cool if he actually begins to believe he is the protagonist of a fantasy land thinking that all his choices are right and that he can always get the girl and save the day only for reality eat him alive. I could be wrong here, but its a guess. Anyway, in a show where there isn't any physical consequence due to time repeats, its a lot more compelling to have a lead who is falling into darkness, pain and insanity making reckless choices. The psychological effects of the situation was the draw of the show for me, hopefully the show doesn't collapse as I have seen many dip in the second half. But I do have a good feeling about this one :)

and dammit people, stop hating subaru. sure he messed a lot these past episodes and he really looked pathetic, but i cant really blame him. its actually making his character unique and interesting compared to your typical over powered, blessed shounen heroes ffs

I don't want some obsessive, obnoxious little arrogant cunt who believes the world revolves around him as a protagonist.

I mean, where the hell does he get the audacity to believe that he can fight knights who've been training for God knows how long, when he has zero experience at all? His stupidity never ends, and all of these features have been apparent since the first arc.


So you really fail to realize that he is mentally broken and this is an unnatural and unhealthy behavior of his? He has developed a severe case of escapism and delusion. Didn't you see how he fanatically believes in his truth and rejects every other attempt to drag him out of that? This is no sane behavior anymore. You have to accept that fact otherwise you'll be always left in the dark.


Don't you think that Subaru has shown escapism and delusion ever since he had been thrown into another world?

The repeated brutal deaths and pains he had experienced might have made it even worse. But Subaru has been always that kind of person more or less (characterized as delusional and escapism) from Episode 1.

very nice anime but so far Soubaru is an idiot. I knew the puppy was at fault from the second night when he started spilling his guts. I thought it was an infection but whatever works. Also maybe now he will understand he should stay at the palace and protect everyone instead being so clingy. So analyze he crime scene see who is at fault and then do the death return.

Rem stays with Subaru and shows strong and unconditional devotion to him, saying "I have put all my faith in you, Subaru-kun", even though she is acutely aware and acknowledges that Subaru is a pathetic guy.

Rem fully affirms Subaru as he is - our Bad Subaru who made fool of himself like an idiot (by self-claiming to be Emilia's knight) and embarrassed Emilia in front of VIPs, fought a pointless duel against Julius just for his egoism, insisting dishonestly that even all those messes were just done for Emilia's sake only, stubbornly denied any (friendly) advice from the people around him (i.e., Reinhard's advice), never willing to acknowledge his fault and stuck to his delusional MC syndrome ("Only I can save her!") -.

It is this bad delusional Otaku Subaru which would save the day finally (playing a main role in defeating off all the evil guys and devil-monster) and be affirmed (and salvaged mentally and emotionally) by Rem, as you can predict from this episode.

Note that the latter part of the story of this episode unfolds just in a way which proves Subaru's insistence - Emilia, you are nothing without me! You are wrong and I did nothing wrong!- rather than refutes it - .

It is a main meat which the arc 3 of the novel (and the anime) Re:zero offers to us, - Eventual glorious victory, and attainment of recognition of a despicable, stubbornly delusional, obsessive shut-in Otaku hero, (partly) thanks to a Maji-Tensi (Seriously Angel) girl's almost blindly faithful emotional support and affirmation.

In short, arc 3 fulfills immature and childish fantasy of Otaku male audience - I wish I had a cute young girl beside me who would love, support me no matter how I was messed up, even if she knew I had no intention to have serious romantic relationship with her but loved another girl -.

@CC9ers I agree with that.


I agree that the must sense the witch on him and respect that enough to not kill him. Let's be honest they could have wiped him in a second, they're so fast its ridiculous. That ending was Strong, seeing Rem die :.....(

Rem is quickly cementing herself as best girl as well. I feel bad for her bc she clearly loves Subaru as he changed her life and he's not going to feel that back due to his obsession with Emilia. That bedroom scene where she said save a little bit of that for me.

I hope Subaru realizes what he is up against now, this enemy isn't some simple mind beast. It seems like they're organized and lethal. To take down the whole village and Rem is beyond something Subaru can handle. It seems they must likely killed everyone in the mansion as well. I doubt it was just Rem but just speculating. Amazing episode this week.

Those are unintelligent. They were being controlled. The puppy could've been, too. The blue-haired girl was hinted to be suspicious. How could the seals in the village have been broken? The beasts shouldn't have been capable of that. Meaning a person could be responsible.

Those should be the cultists. Their clothes and weapons are the same that was shown in Rem's backstory.

What you gave isn't enough to consider Roswaal the Witch's ally. Roswaal might be interested in what he'd gain from allying himself with a candidate. Emilia happened to be what he could get his hands on. Other candidates were already taken... Emilia's the most vulnerable, really. Roswaal was already displeased with Subaru there. Think it'd not work out for him if he were to support an already supported candidate. The knights would get in the way of his plans, it seems.


This doesn't make sense, if he is allied with the witch why the cultists are attacking his domain?

The beasts were controled by someone and the objective of this 'someone' was actually get rid of Emilia and Subaru got in their way. This also make it harder to believe that the one behind it is working with/for the witch.

Also remember: Subaru was in the middle of the meeting of the most important people of the whole kingdom and no one noticed the supposed scent of the witch he has and to top that Ferris didn't noticed any scent while healing Subaru.
Roswaal is not the witch ally . He wants to use the Witch.

I can't help but feel this whole mentally broken shit is just a means of excusing Subaru's personality. I mean, I'm not saying he is or isn't, whatever "mentally broken" qualifies as to the audience or the author. But as far as I could tell he seems to be reacting somewhat normal. I mean who wouldn't be terrified seeing a pile of bodies every so often or coming back after being killed? Who wouldn't be terrified and withdrawn after finding out someone you thought wasn't even a suspect came after you? I don't know if this counts as being any more mentally unstable than someone who experiences a near-death experience, though, I understand he goes full-on with it and doesn't just wake up in a hospital or beside a plane wreckage. But I think this mental-illness shit is just a means of excusing his otherwise stupid behavior. People keep saying he is trying to play the hero, and there seems to be some evidence of such. Does that make him mentally ill? People say he is obsessed with Emilia, and once again, it sure seems to be pointing to that. But does that make him truly "sick" at least compared to other MCs who find themselves in similar, pivotal positions? I think it depends on how the story is conveyed and what the author is aiming for. Subaru's though process of "I'm the only one who can protect her" seems awfully similar to what many other protagonists across other mediums have done through action or words. But the choice of his words as well as the almost lusting, teething grin he does in this episode paints the picture in a darker, less heroic tone. This with what we have seen in the previous episode namely, makes us feel less like "Yeah, Subaru! You can do it! Go save her!" and more like "Umm, okay...creepy. Are you sure you're alright, there?" I don't fully know if the author is just trying to make him appear more possessive or borderline insane, perhaps he specifically describes Subaru's development from sane to insane, hence why I'm hearing all these medical terms or it's simply the fan-base interpreting it as such. To me he is no more mentally broken than most MCs who find themselves in a hellish situation of some kind, find a reason/someone to protect, and continue to throw themselves back into the pit.

Yeah but usually you don't have your main character be an unlikeable serial killer so I doubt its that.

Nobody would want to see a story about a character every viewer actively despises.
The only way to redeem Subaru now is explaining his strange change in behavior after Ep11 as the witch altering his mind somehow. He was a creep last episode already but now he is literally Anakin just before becoming Darth Vader. So you either go full on and turn him into a villain or find a way to redeem his change in behavior. And the theme of jealousy fits the jealous witch too .

Don't get what that video of dude not noticing the bodies has to do with anything. Its not the first time he has been an unfocused distracted idiot this arc.
