I was wondering why people hate/dislike her so much. I've seen some posts/comments on Facebook, Twitter, even here where people were constantly bashing her, even before the last episode where


So.. What's the deal ?

You clearly don't know how shipping wars on the Internet work. In shipping wars you "prove" how your couple is the greatest possible pairing by framing them as god like saints and then you do everything possible to prove the others can't work by painting them as some combination of Hitler, Stalin and Voldemort.

You clearly like Emilia so it is your job to paint Rem as a brutal monster.

Who hated Rem at first and now all lick her feet? The fandom? It is the same for Subaru or Emilia. They are meant to be depicted in a bad light so you dislike them. But it doesn't mean they aren't lovable in their own ways. So defending Subaru is not playing the devil's advocate. This isn't a black and white theme where Subaru is the absolute evil.

Trust me I know the shipping wars on the Internet haha but people bashed her even Rem too, not only Emilia, but yeah, if the reason of her bashing is just because of the RemxSubaru ship... Meh

Well, not as much as him for sure but she's way too hated for a character we barely saw in the last episodes imo.
Yep concerning Subaru, I expected something like that

I'm a straight female and I don't hate Emilia, though I think Rem is better for subaru since she truelly loves him and doesn't need to know his secrets to support him and risk her life for him. Also, lately subaru has become a real jerk around Emilia, so i don't think they would be happy together.

1. People who like Rem hate her cause they don't get their perfect self-insert fantasy waifu ship.

2. Emilia actually has nothing to her character anyways.
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 basically it.

Subaru loves Emilia so ppl gotta hate Emilia.... which is weird lol

And, Emilia has no development. I like her character, tho. She isn't a bad person, from what we have seen and her story has yet to be told, but I still like the initial Emilia. She has shown kindness and concern for ppl she knows little to nothing about. She's shown weakness and strength. From what little we have of her character so far, I like it. I like emilia, subaru, and rem lol

I'm not a fan of any of the characters - the majority of them are boring, have no personality, or act incredibly irrationally. I especially dislike the MC.

I'm watching this series basically for the plot/seeing new ways the MC dies.

It's not that I hate Emilia, it's just that I don't see why people think she is the best girl for Subaru. Rem has proven how kind and loyal she is to Subaru and how much she has developed as a character from the beginning. Rem is also very calm in serious situations. She was also composed when talking to Subaru in the latest episode. I find Rem very lovable, especially when you add in her cuteness.

I've never seen any of that from Emilia. All she does is keep secrets, secrets, and more secrets. She may act all nice and kind to strangers, but even the most secretive people can do that too. I find Emilia to be very insecure and bitchy at times. I'm still wondering why she called herself "Satella" in the first timeline. Even though she wants the throne, I feel like she can't rule the country. Something about Emilia makes me feel like she has a hot temper. It's true that Subaru isn't able to tell Emilia anything, but it's bullshit when she doesn't tell him everything. Seriously though, did see what Puck turned into!?

It pains me to see that Subaru chose Emilia over Rem. So far, that's the only thing I don't really like about Re:Zero. It had to be fucking cliche when it came to choosing the girl he loved.

Emilia hasn't redeemed herself yet, but I hope she does soon. She's the worst girl out of all the other supporting ones.

Except that 2nd point is BS. Yes she doesn't have as much development in this Arc since she isn't main focus, but she plenty of characterization. Not only she well meaning strong will, stern, cool, but got interesting history regarding her heritage and being one of candidates in line for means her future developments will be for long haul. There plenty to like about as she and not much to hate especially since done a lot for Suabru without asking for anything in return.

I'm tried of salt shippers who have clear bias and disregard any character isn't all over the MC. Seriously go back watch the first few to see why Suabru feel for Emilia. It's not just because she's pretty it's her character and how she treats people decency.

So tell me, wasn't she clam during the Elsa fight and mabeast arc? Didn't have she more tolerance for Subaru's than anyone blindly in love with? Didn't she support Subaru emotionally ad saved his life several times when she didn't have too? Wasn't she only one not betrayed and actually defensed him against the accusations of being a spy? Let''s not forget she is one still paying for his medical treatment and left one her personal guards to overseer his recovery?The only thing have on her is she not loyal to Subaru and so what? Why does that have to be requirement for anyone to interested him?

Except she hasn't been keeping any secrets from him that's all in your head. You have no idea whether she's fit to run the country or not because the Royal Election has been pushed to background as overarching plot.

And Satella thing was already explained by Subaru himself, he realized she called herself that back in first loop to scare him off in order to protect him from her troubles. Even subtle gestures like that she been looking out for him.

It pains me to see that Subaru chose Emilia over Rem. So far, that's the only thing I don't really like about Re:Zero. It had to be fucking cliche when it came to choosing the girl he loved.

Subaru is not you. He's been fighting and risking his Emilia for over 3 Arcs out of his own will, long before Rem came into the picture. She is the reason why he decided to stay in the mansion and get involved in all this mess not Rem. That's something was never gotten suddenly change especially because Rem does not the qualities he likes in Emilia.You're preferences doesn't matter in the story. There is also nothing Emilia needs to redeem herself for, and unlike Rem Emilia is guarantee to be in the story for long haul so there is no need to rush with her.

I also don't see how worst than any of girls in the show, their haven't received much development either since none of them conveniently around Suabru all the time.

Seriously some people gonna feel really silly once every other character started getting more fleshed later.

I think Emilia is great and has a lot to her character that people push aside to justify their hate. Idk why ppl can't just acknowledge both Emilia and Rem are great.

But i don't think it's bs that ppl hate emilia bc they think she has no development. that's literally one of the main reasons i see in the forums lol. i disagree with all the hate towards emilia but the question was why do ppl hate her. those two reasons r the biggest, but i wasn't agreeing with them. (it seemed you thought i was. idk but i just responded to clear that up lol)

Hating someone for a lack of development still makes no sense. It doesn't sudden make a character on unlikable. By that logic I should hate Betty, Felt Crusch, Reinhard and basically every other character who hasn't had their backstory dump on us randomly. Development is only one part of a character not the whole. At this point it's just another excuse to feed shipwars and character bias. The only thing Rem has on anyone she first person that viewer has learned a good amount about... but that's it.

the question the person who created this discussion asked "Why do ppl hate emilia". an answer for "why do ppl hate emilia" is "emilia has no development".

it makes no sense to me. i love emilia. but, some ppl think having no development is a reason to dislike a character as a whole. that is simply the answer to the person's question lol whether i agree or not, that is a reason for why ppl hate emilia. hence, my response to the person's question not being bs lol

It is kinda ironic considering how much unnecessary hatred Rem had in the first cour and now this shit happens to Emilia....

Most of the characters in Re:Zero are far from being generic and 2-dimensional. They are usually introduced as some generic characters whose development will usually halt after the introduction (remember how Rem and Ram being described as some bland maid characters in the earlier discussion?), only to have their ample amount of development given as the story progresses.

Like how Rem being judged as some sadist and envious freak in the earlier episode to overprotective and caring when it comes to somebody she cares about, Emilia will have her share of development in Arc 4 (season 2 for anime) as the first 3 arcs are basically about Subaru's growth as a character.

Even in the anime we are first introduced to a seemingly perfect waifu material Emilia who will support and believe in the male lead 100% in a typical LN adapted anime, she, in fact, wants something in return from Subaru, it's friendship.

Yep, Subaru is being 'friendzoned'. Emilia is dense as the typical RomCom protag because that not even in her wildest dream can she imagine a sane man would fall in love with a half-elf. She wants an equal position as Subaru and that's the reason she denies Subaru being her servant in episode 13; she wants to understand Subaru and that why she's asking questions about Subaru's questionable actions in episode 13; she wants trust from Subaru and that's why she's angry when Subaru broken her promise when providing any good reasons. That, for me, is enough to separate Emilia from all the generic anime heroine.

To be honest, I'm neither from Emilia camp nor Rem camp. My preferred waifu is


Jokes aside, the choice is ultimately falls to Subaru/author. And I would despise the author if he changes the story just to cater to certain group of fans. After all, this is a story about Natsuki Subaru's life in a different world starts anew from zero.

Who hate her? That's a really strong word you are using, dislike is far more appropriate and it doesn't come without reason.

Most of the people were Rem lovers, so when Subaru rejected her for Emilia in ep 18, it just makes sense those people would get pissed and trash Emilia for being his waifu or whatever. Additionally Emilia is heavily underdeveloped as a character, she is nothing special besides being Generic Sweetheart #3333 and she likely won't change anything about that until later arcs. Additionally Rem had alot of developent and her arc helps making her even more loveable by the fandom, so there'll be people who prefer her much more than Emilia for the time being. Still I don't think anyone hates her, I think people dislike her which is completely different.

To the LN readers, I don't give a crap if she becomes better in the LN, this is the anime so I'm saying this based on what is shown and not what is to come so don't give me some stupid response about that.

I hate no one but she hasn't done that much. Yeah she helps and stuff but Subaru doesn't know shit about her, let's be real. He's fallen in love for her because he expects the first nice good girl he's seen in a new fantasy world to be his princess or love.

Her ideology was basically "I help you because". I am not saying that's a bad thing or anything but yeah, I don't really want her to be a perfect angel elf because I don't like those characters.

At the end of the day, it's an anime what am I doing

Exactly. You think people would have learned with Rem, and fact this story long from being resolved that pretty every character will get their limelight (though those more slowly than others) when their time comes. Every other character others than Rem and Subaru has only had surfaces of their characters scratched. Even then they still played major roles in story. Subaru really won't be anywhere he is today without interactions and actions of Emilia, Reinhard, Betty and even Roswaal. So the only thing Rem has over anyone you know a bit more about her than others.

LMFAO you are speaking the truth !!! They acting like we complaining about her character after 5 episodes. It damn near the end of the season. I don't get why I have to wait 3 seasons for a main (not side) but a main character to be intriguing.

She has. I've seen enough for now.

I'll just let this here:
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/kind
She's been shown to possess most, if not all of those related synonyms. She's been well-characterized.

i think you mean she has no development bc characterization is the character's personality. Her characterization, direct and indirect, has already been established. Having no development won't change that at any point in the story. Once her personality changes, that will be considered a development.

but i think, the very fact that she was vocally furious with Subaru in front of a packed room of people, and walked away from him after he said a number of mean things, can be considered development. People fell into the assumption that she was kind enough to follow subaru blindly. be by his side regardless of doubt. But she proved she wasn't that person and even told subaru that the emilia in his mind vs the real emilia are very different. i conclude that as development, even if small. when you compare hers to rem or subaru, then her development will fall short. as will every other character. but, as of now, she is not the "kind" emilia everyone initially saw. her character has changed. development o.o imo

I don't think it has changed... it was always within her. It's just that she was being patient and trusting in Subaru. We see that she scolded him after the village's issue. But after he disobeyed her again, injuring himself in the proccess, she couldn't trust him anymore. He must've appeared like a child to her. She already had this in mind of him not behaving well. She tolerates and accepts him because of their friendship. She was reluctant in bringing him to town... She knew that he'd cause trouble. She's more concerned about him.

i think you mean she has no development bc characterization is the character's personality. Her characterization, direct and indirect, has already been established. Having no development won't change that at any point in the story. Once her personality changes, that will be considered a development.

but i think, the very fact that she was vocally furious with Subaru in front of a packed room of people, and walked away from him after he said a number of mean things, can be considered development. People fell into the assumption that she was kind enough to follow subaru blindly. be by his side regardless of doubt. But she proved she wasn't that person and even told subaru that the emilia in his mind vs the real emilia are very different. i conclude that as development, even if small. when you compare hers to rem or subaru, then her development will fall short. as will every other character. but, as of now, she is not the "kind" emilia everyone initially saw. her character has changed. development o.o imo


Don't be surprised that a lot people on MAL has no idea what characterization is otherwise they would know how utterly retarded it is say how someone doesn't have one. A character without characterization cannot logically exist. Even minor tertiary characters like the 3 stooges back in arc 1 have characterization. You tell someone has no idea what they're talking about and speaking of bias when they say it.

@Rehls that's what a development is imo. keeping quiet about something and finally vocalizing your opinion is a development. finally being vocally defiant is development.

i think she had every right to yell at him. she believed he would trust her and not break their promise, and then she realized her promise meant nothing to him. she told subaru that she doesn't believe he does everything for her sake. she has never been so vocal and angry before that episode. originally, emilia would keep quiet about such things, but that time she didn't. a change in character. a development.

You're confusing characterization with character development because those two aren't exactly the same thing. Sure Emilia hasn't gotten any significant character development but she has already been characterized in the show.

I was wondering why people hate/dislike her so much. I've seen some posts/comments on Facebook, Twitter, even here where people were constantly bashing her, even before the last episode where


So.. What's the deal ?


Lol ....I have to admit the most confusing relationships I have ever watched is re zero. . That's why I hope he ended up return to his life again

I really want to ship Rem with Subaru like the others, but when I go back in the first episodes I feel like everything is for Emilia his story is to make her fall for him... Even the opening and the ending songs is for them which is why I can't Ship Rem and subaru :(

More details...

first arc Subaru was dying to know Emilia name and he really felt for her alot because he was about to sell his phone for her to get what she want ... the second arc he was suffring to ask her for a date and in the end of the arc he get it ... the third arc saving Emilia... spoiler ((fourth arc kissing sence)). ...the final will be with Rem ?? ..Thug lif XD..... that's really doesn't make sense to me.. it's just like waiting for a very long queue to have a burger form Macdonald restaurant and when arrive to the cashier to order you change your mind and go to another restaurant
..................

I don't know if this turn into a harem ,but
From what i know is the harem always make the fans confusing, but the first episode always made the right choice for the right girl and the right feelings which is
Emilia and that's why I ship her with Subaru.

Hmm. OK. I will.

She took the time to save Subaru from bandits when she was desperately searching for her insignia. She helped a lost little girl find her parents. She saved everyone in the loot house because if she was not there everyone would have been killed quickly by Elsa, long before Reinhardt showed up. She healed Subaru after he got his belly sliced open by Elsa. She brought Subaru to her home which allowed him to get a home, a job and meet Rem. If she had not done that he would never have met Rem. She comforted Subaru and helped him maintain his sanity when he discovered that Rem was the one who was torturing and killing him. She was partly responsible for convincing Rem that Subaru should not be killed. She exhausted herself healing Subaru when he was bitten by the mabeasts. She made a contract with Crush to get Subaru's gate healed. To do that she took him to the capital where he was able to meet Crusch and Anastasia. Had she not taken him to the capital he would not have met them and not have the army he has now.

Yeah, I think she did something.

She abandoned him, that's my only reason for hating her personally, Rem Best girl even if she doesn't stand a chance in this anime but heh, maybe Emilia will do something worthy of a pardon.

Because she's bland as shit and will certainly end up with Subaru.

He didn't deserv it by one bit. Those knight were way too arrogant, Julius insulted him in front of everyone i would've done the same, he insulted his determination said he was weak, Subaru is far from weak and all he sacrified to be where he is today he's stronger than most of the knight that were in this room.

and people are stupid. they blame emilia for abandoning subaru at the castle. well who's fault was it? it was all subaru's. if you dont get it, maybe you should watch this anime better and put yourselves on emilia's shoes.
regarding that lack of character development thingy. maybe you should learn how to wait. re zero has a long story and wn readers say arc 4 belongs to emilia so shut up and wait because obviously, we will get to that point eventually.
