Yeah, but does death PTSD suddenly turn you into a complete asshole which was never even hinted by your character before-hand? No.


Well..... I would argue that this side of Subaru didn't come out of nowhere.

It was always in the background, and his motivations throughout the show included this side of him. His asshole self just wasn't very obvious until his fight with Emilia.

you mean when he told her that she is indebted to him? have you never had a fight with someone close to you where he/she started to spew something so selfish that they don't actually mean it? you can't literally take the words of angry or mentally broken person... its not very uncommon for people to say stuff that they don't mean when they are down , actually they mostly greatly regret it later on.

"it would make him an asshole"

again
There was no indication for this type of change
It just suddenly happens when he gets to the election
There was no slight spiral downwards in the series, he suddenly became an asshole. You can explain all you want with PTSD, but sudden changes to a character out of nowhere still aren't good.


Subaru talking shit during the election was warranted. Did you not see how they were talking about Emilia? Just because they are of a higher class doesn't give them the right to say the things they said about Emilia. But I guess taking up for someone is now considered being an asshole?

Except that's barely what he did

He insulted a bunch of people that were important, and didn't even apologize

He made himself the focus of attention in something barely related to him

And he ended up directly embarssing Emilia.

Sticking up for someone isn't wrong, but he did it in the worse way possible.

Someone estimated how long Bill Murray was stuck in a timeloop.http://whatculture.com/film/just-how-many-days-does-bill-murray-really-spend-stuck-reliving-groundhog-day

If he can reset himself enough he can be a Master of many skills. More importantly. He can learn about political situations/systems and learn how to manipulate and exploit everyone's weakness. Like Batman having a plan to stop the Justice League in case they go rogue


A time skip? But he'd only be able to train for a day, every time... We don't know how strong he'd be capable of becoming to want to consider this as a viable option... Eh. He'd struggle just the same. I think the knowledge he's acquiring from taking different routes is being more helpful. And what if he forgets to kill himself one time, and the save point moves further? The source readers should know better. But it'd take a really long time. And he'd suffer, too. Repeating days. Killing himself repeteatedly. And it doesn't appears to be necessary. He only dies a few times before progressing.


He needs to find an instant cyanide pill early on. Pick up a few skills. Learn how EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING works, engineering/politics/magic. Learn the weakness of everyone. That will help greatly.

For some reason, the fact that Subaru has this ugly/selfish side to him is something people can't accept, and insist that he's somehow been changed by the writers.

I can't help but think of this anime as the best one I've ever seen, it's just beyond incredible. This last episode was so powerful and emotional omg, this is going to be a masterpiece for sure everything seems perfect.

Also this episode demonstrate once more how mentally ill MC is and how he's determined to beat up some ass at the end !

It's just, wow I can't think of any words. Wonderful.

There is a difference between bad side (Which we have already seen he had in Arc2) and a different Character, Mickarin. Especially since Subaru was a totally different Character in ep 11-14

You already had those indications from last arc and his intermonologue in ep 12 why he was desperate be at Royal Election because he fears another attack. PTSD doesn't just magically vainsh. It takes years to get over it and has various on behavioral effects on people. The anime does not need to reminds us that he still has it. If can't accept that is you problem.

Don't jinx it. But seriously... I doubt we'll get any kind of happy ending out of this. I feel like these time resets and slice-of-life parts are used simply to avoid reader/viewer's exhaustion from constant emotional torture. It's really a psychological thriller, not a fantasy adventure.

Every story has plot conveniences. The best ones disguise them with enough raw emotion so the audience can suspend their disbelief. It doesn't erase it's presence merely though it but merely mask it.

His worth was never questioned before. Roswaal had to accept him because of the debt. Emilia didn't judge him. The maids told him about hierarchy and such...

At town it was only natural for him to act so carefree. Wasn't he been doing so since the beginning? Think so.

He's the sin of pride. He couldn't take it. He had been shown to be so arrogant before, hah.

The giant wolf thing is PUCK being Emilia's guardian spirit he referred to her many times as his "daughter" As for the smell getting worst i think it depends on how many times has Subaru died till now (at least thats what i think)

I know that scene with Rem crawling towards Subaru was supposed to be sad and all, but the only thing in my head was "GIRL DIDN'T JOKER WANNABE GUY JUST FREAKING SNAPPED YOUR NECK WHAAAAAAAAAAA"
But okay.
I THOUGHT HE WAS IN THE FIRST SAVE POINT! LOL Just imagine! Everything all over again.
So that WAS Puck. Ka-kakoi! He is my favorite character on this show, so it was really cool to see his true form. For a moment I thought it was a dragon.
Seeing Rem fighting is always welcome. She is such a boss.

does not change the fact that he said "ENOUGH OF YOUR CRAP" and "YOU PEOPLE ARE FULL OF CRAP" after Emilia asked him to stop already. He has now embarrassed Emilia and insulted the council. By the time Julius starts speaking he also insulted the knights and proclaimed himself as one

He did all three things without any pressure from Julius yet.

Alás Re:Zero shows it's fangs, our MC this episode is thrown around so much it's painful and while that's happening he is thrown into complete madness and out of it by the actions of an insane man named Betelgeuse.

This episode was exquisite by far the best episode of this entire series, it's clear how much money and hard work was put into this.

First Subaru arrives at the village and finds the people he has gotten to know and care for killed in a brutal and disgusting manner, he panics, he thinks about Emilia but quickly avoids that thought and starts looking for Rem hoping she is still alive, when he arrives at the manner he finds Rem dead and mutilated, he loses his remaining hope and enters despair. He goes around the mansion looking for survivors but finds non, in one the rooms he finds Ram dead holding onto Petra with her eyes gouged out, this leads him into an even deeper despair as he looks for Emilia. Finally he reaches a hidden tunnel full of witch cult corps when he tries to open the door his fingers are instantly frozen and they break off, before he has the chance to scream in pain one of his legs is frozen and it also breaks off, he hears Puck in the background say that its too late and that he must now sleep like Emilia while slowly being frozen solid (it must of hurt like hell).

He returns by death, sees Rem and goes mental, he is now completely lost it he is drooling and staring into empty places laughing, Felix sees him and mentions nothing is wrong with him physically (it should be noted that Felix hates people who have lost the will to live and probably didn't want to try harder), Rem notices that the witch's smell has gotten stronger on Subaru, she can't do anything but decides to leave because she believes if Subaru is around people he knows it might help him get better, Crusch seeing such dedication from Rem wonders why she is so loyal to Subaru, they aren't master and servant like herself and Felix, they aren't lovers since its obvious he is in love with Emilia. Rem answers that he is "special" which is a clear confession of her feelings for him, this leaves Crusch and Felix surprised, she says this without envy or hate in her words, it's a pure sentiment for someone who doesn't feel the same way about her, proving just like the previous episode just how Rem is loyal and how she cares for Subaru.

While traveling it's obvious just how Subaru is bad, he falls onto her lap while they ride the dragon carriage and he is emotionless and empty, something that they cut out that I thought interesting in the manga is that when she falls asleep next to dragon she then wakes up next to Subaru who left the carriage and sought her for confort this leads me to believe that he is not completely empty as he looked. Next while they retake their travel they are attacked by the witch cult, Rem looses it and says something interesting, she says that the witch cult has taken her reason to live (her sister's horn, something that led her to hate herself) and now they are trying to take her reason to die (Subaru, who she is willing to die to protect) the witch cult takes Subaru proves that even simple cult members are to feared, Subaru is taken to Betelgeuse and chained, this man is clearly insane, he kills one of own men before Subaru's eyes, he licks his face and doubts his current predicament, we wonders how someone who is so loved can be like that, Rem arrives and fights for her and his life but before she could save him is captured by the sin archbishop's authority (a power only those with the witch's genes posses) she is then tortured and apparently killed before him, the sin archbishop tells him it's all his fault and leaves to pursue his true objective, Emilia, this snaps him out of his madness and begins to bang his head on the ground despair and rage, Rem approaches him with last strength and magic, frees him, declares her love to him and proceeds to die in his hand. He leaves the cave where he was captive and heads to the manor passing by the villagers and the kids cared for, when he reaches the manor the snow blizzard gets worse and he sees a figure atop to mansion who say "My daughter is dead...now sleep" it's obviously Puck but not the Puck we know, he is frozen alive once again and is decapitated in the process.

After the credits and that magnificent image of his head slowly being covered by snow we see Subaru return by death once again but this time with rage and determination in his eyes, he hides these hostile feelings from Rem but it's obvious just how much he hates Betelgeuse.

He now has 3 things, an enemy, determination and an objective. Now let the fun begin.

C'mon, he patted Roswaal's back. He was just an ordinary guy. Why'd you expect him to behave well in the castle? When he hadn't in the mansion... I don't think he was ever taught proper etiquette. He wanted to pass as a knight because he wasn't aware of the requirements. He told them that they were born in the role, because it's likely what he might've learned from the media.

He screwed up badly, because there was really never such a challenge like this before. Like I said, he didn't want to see himself as someone that'd be incapable of helping her. It's his pride. With Julius, he didn't want to see himself as below him. Was there ever a Julius before? No.

The first moment he spoke out was because of the racist remarks towards Emilia.
does not change the fact that he said "ENOUGH OF YOUR CRAP" and "YOU PEOPLE ARE FULL OF CRAP" after Emilia asked him to stop already. He has now embarrassed Emilia and insulted the council. By the time Julius starts speaking he also insulted the knights and proclaimed himself as one

He did all three things without any pressure from Julius yet.


Dude stop making up shit already. Nobody had problem with his actions until he named himself Knight. So just stop. He never insulted the council ether. The Head Sage even praise him for his defense of Emilia. He only fought against the Knights out of pride because they judged him without knowing anything about and what he went through.

Alás Re:Zero shows it's fangs, our MC this episode is thrown around so much it's painful and while that's happening he is thrown into complete madness and out of it by the actions of an insane man named Betelgeuse.

This episode was exquisite by far the best episode of this entire series, it's clear how much money and hard work was put into this.

First Subaru arrives at the village and finds the people he has gotten to know and care for killed in a brutal and disgusting manner, he panics, he thinks about Emilia but quickly avoids that thought and starts looking for Rem hoping she is still alive, when he arrives at the manner he finds Rem dead and mutilated, he loses his remaining hope and enters despair. He goes around the mansion looking for survivors but finds non, in one the rooms he finds Ram dead holding onto Petra with her eyes gouged out, this leads him into an even deeper despair as he looks for Emilia. Finally he reaches a hidden tunnel full of witch cult corps when he tries to open the door his fingers are instantly frozen and they break off, before he has the chance to scream in pain one of his legs is frozen and it also breaks off, he hears Puck in the background say that its too late and that he must now sleep like Emilia while slowly being frozen solid (it must of hurt like hell).

He returns by death, sees Rem and goes mental, he is now completely lost it he is drooling and staring into empty places laughing, Felix sees him and mentions nothing is wrong with him physically (it should be noted that Felix hates people who have lost the will to live and probably didn't want to try harder), Rem notices that the witch's smell has gotten stronger on Subaru, she can't do anything but decides to leave because she believes if Subaru is around people he knows it might help him get better, Crusch seeing such dedication from Rem wonders why she is so loyal to Subaru, they aren't master and servant like herself and Felix, they aren't lovers since its obvious he is in love with Emilia. Rem answers that he is "special" which is a clear confession of her feelings for him, this leaves Crusch and Felix surprised, she says this without envy or hate in her words, it's a pure sentiment for someone who doesn't feel the same way about her, proving just like the previous episode just how Rem is loyal and how she cares for Subaru.

While traveling it's obvious just how Subaru is bad, he falls onto her lap while they ride the dragon carriage and he is emotionless and empty, something that they cut out that I thought interesting in the manga is that when she falls asleep next to dragon she then wakes up next to Subaru who left the carriage and sought her for confort this leads me to believe that he is not completely empty as he looked. Next while they retake their travel they are attacked by the witch cult, Rem looses it and says something interesting, she says that the witch cult has taken her reason to live (her sister's horn, something that led her to hate herself) and now they are trying to take her reason to die (Subaru, who she is willing to die to protect) the witch cult takes Subaru proves that even simple cult members are to feared, Subaru is taken to Betelgeuse and chained, this man is clearly insane, he kills one of own men before Subaru's eyes, he licks his face and doubts his current predicament, we wonders how someone who is so loved can be like that, Rem arrives and fights for her and his life but before she could save him is captured by the sin archbishop's authority (a power only those with the witch's genes posses) she is then tortured and apparently killed before him, the sin archbishop tells him it's all his fault and leaves to pursue his true objective, Emilia, this snaps him out of his madness and begins to bang his head on the ground despair and rage, Rem approaches him with last strength and magic, frees him, declares her love to him and proceeds to die in his hand. He leaves the cave where he was captive and heads to the manor passing by the villagers and the kids cared for, when he reaches the manor the snow blizzard gets worse and he sees a figure atop to mansion who say "My daughter is dead...now sleep" it's obviously Puck but not the Puck we know, he is frozen alive once again and is decapitated in the process.

After the credits and that magnificent image of his head slowly being covered by snow we see Subaru return by death once again but this time with rage and determination in his eyes, he hides these hostile feelings from Rem but it's obvious just how much he hates Betelgeuse.

He now has 3 things, an enemy, determination and an objective. Now let the fun begin.



Did you copy and paste this comment from kissanime comment section under the episode? lol.

so you're further driving in that Subaru is retarded?
Not to mention that it isn't just the fact that he feared an attack, he wants to be by Emilia's side and support her.


None stopped Emilia or anyone else from dying before it's not suddenly change now. Look this freaking arc for example.

Nice try.

Emila was alone before in the City, ya know.

Nice Try.

TIL never learning proper etiquette is the same as being an Idiot and going full retarded in an important meeting.
come on, even those who were never taught will know when to stfu.
And the whole thing with Julius made him more ooc and and idiot, especially since he already saw how strong those knights are (Reinhardt!)

What was that big "beast thing" that show up and cut Subarus head? Could it be Puck? Let's say Emilia is dead and he/she wanted to give Subaru quick death?

"no one stopped emilia or anyone else from dying before"

In arc 1, the first time they die is because Elsa kills Rom and Felt for some reason, and when Subaru and Emilia come in, hides in the dark and guts them. They did not even know what Elsa looked like.

Next time Subaru dies is when he reveals his goal to Elsa and she goes hostile and kills Rom, Felt, and Subaru due to her much higher skill.

Next time he lives, only because he met Reinhardt and Reinhardt is a nice guy. If Reinhardt was not there, Subaru wouldn't achieve anything.

In arc 2, Subaru dies cause the maids kill him, and he was already hit by a curse by the shaman. Rem dies because she is the one bitten by the shaman dog instead so she suffers from the unseen curse. If anyone had known that dog was a mabeast, Rem would have been saved. Subaru didn't stop the threat, he made everyone else aware that there was one.

In the current arc, new enemies do appear, and were unable to be stopped. Except they did not attack the huge castle filled with powerful people they attacked Rosswals mansion, filled with two strong people and three more who rushed there to help. Huge difference.
every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake

This is the problem with Subaru. He wants to protect her during the election. But does he have a plan incase some Super assassin comes in and kills everyone but him and Emilia? Nope.


Because you can't plan for shit you don't know. This world anything can happen, just see how arcs 1 and 2 went down. He can't prepare for everything, only do the best he can in any given moment.


My point is even if he was there, and someone super really posed a threat, how is he going to stop the assassin?

He needs to gather knowledge and come up with a plan in order to win instead of rushing in blind.

I have to go back and see if key made this light novel!

And another problem! why rem not main heroine? our main heroine is actually so useless to the point that she didn't appear two episodes straight!

And another problem! What's up with subaru's eyes at the end of the episode? is he in the zone?

The likeness between this and Dark Souls gets more real with each episode. God damn, what an episode. As much as i love Rem, watching those things happening to her, i still have to kinda love the directing and the rest of this episode.

Forgetful are we? She had Puck with her and still died. Suabru even bring that up in the 2nd arc which Puck apologizes for. And give various ways he's been killed he has right to be paranoid. But haertless enough to care about that so why am I every bothering with you?

Again nice try.

Jesus, that was painful to watch. Not in a bad way, but because of the high levels of suffering in this episode. I already knew what was going to happen, but I still just ended up staring at the screen in shock for half of the episode. Re:Zero is easily one of the better series this year, I'm glad I picked this up. Can't wait to see how Subaru will get revenge...
