damn Echidna emitting some top tier waifu vibes in this episode! So the whole "Sanctuary" is the Witch of Greed's grave. Really surprised that Subaru wasn't killed of the bat after meeting Echidna lol. And that ending, wow what a cliffhanger. Subaru's dad is ripped af. Kinda sad they didn't show the OP in this episode. I hope in the next episode we'll be able to see it again. Definitely looking forward to further developments in this arc. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Ok wow they definitly changed the order of events for faster paceing. Like damn we got tons of info so fast early on withouth loops. I am happy that they chose to change that from the WN to the LN. Overall Echidna is everything i wanted her to be plus her VA does the character justice. Hyped for the next episode aka finally the grand flashback to Subarus life on earth aka showing his true worthless & deppresed self. God i am glad Season 2 exists. |
Ellenwitch said: Echidna isn't meant to look/sound like Emilia. Emilia is meant to be similar to Satella...I really loved the visuals in the opening of this episode, very spooky and colourful. Very well put together. It's spooky how she sounds like Emilia, sure could be same va, but that's just terrifying to think about. Cannot wait for next week. |
| Echidna's and Subaru's conversation was pretty interesting. I have to say, I love Echidna. It's going to be a long for next week's episode. |
 |
| Guys, I need help. Emilia is a half-blood right? The Garfeil guy was saying that half-blood undergo a trail when entering the forest and that it was unfair about Emilia. So, Emilia didn't go through a trial? Garfeil is asking Emilia to take it so that she could break the barrier. Are they both different trials? So basically, could you explain to me about the conversation between Garfeil and Emilia? Thanks |
 |
| Now we're talking. This episode was so rich and I'm so excited for the next one. One thing I didn't like, tho, was how Echidna's character was portrayed. She's amusing and cute, but the switch between serious and goofy was off and not handled with as much delicacy as in other series. Subaru's dad on the other hand, that entrance was a great surprise. |

| Damn I have doubts now, maybe Echidna is not so bad after all? At least she is good waifu material. She did warn us she is fucked up tho. Of course Subaru HAD to be retarded and we didn't get any useful info apart from the names of the other witches. At least the place being a graveyard explains stuff...Satella fucked them up good to the point that their souls remain trapped. And did Emilia just fail the trial in an instant? lol Anyway looking forward to how Subaru tackles his past. |
| May just be me but the way the episode flowed felt blazing fast. Especially with the Echidna part, felt like I was watching it on 1.5x. Otherwise, not too bad in terms of content despite the horrendous pacing. I do somewhat like Echidna in the novels and having Maaya Sakamoto (2nd favorite anime voice actor/actress overall) voice her was a nice added bonus. The tea joke felt like a complete miss though in the anime due to how fast everything felt for me. Also, just skimmed through the LN portion of this episode and man this episode definitely came across as really rushed. Arc 4 in general is very content heavy compared to something like Arc 3 so seeing them try to stuff everything in to make it fit in a cour does not seem too promising. So far, the actual events haven't been too bad for me but the way its presented this season just feels incredibly awkward and all over the place. |

| Right, I finally understand the Witch and Sin Archbishops hierarchy now. I've always had my doubts on this but this episode cleared it up pretty darn well, thankfully. Episode still felt really fast though, I've to admit. Echidna's graveyard turning out to be the Sanctuary was given away at the start when she mentioned "dead woman" earlier in their short but intriguing conversation, but it still surprised me even then xD. Echidna is serious waifu material by the way and mad props to the excellent Sakamoto Maaya-san for absolutely nailing the role. Roswaal denying that she wasn't evil, unlike her statement, is highly curious-striking too. It's got to be Roswaal up to tricks here, I bet. Anyway, Emilia little moment of shine was glorious. Absolutely loved that, she's the most selfless being ever ffs. Good to see Ram this episode too. And quite the lively introduction for Garfiel, I must say. I'm still a little unsure on the whole trial basis and the imprisonment but here's to hoping things will be cleared from next episode. Guessing both Emilia and Subaru are off to different trials now. Papa-san finally making an appearance too, I knew it was coming from the Op visuals last episode but that doesn't help from making the wait until next episode any brighter... |

I guess because she's the Witch of Greed (wants to know everything about the world) she acts in a "good" manner so that she can extract information from Subaru later. It's not about her nature per se, but how it was shown and executed. |

| Ngl Echidna best girl |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Wow, that ending, can’t wait to find out how this all ties in. |
| The witch of Greed Echidna is lewd hehe. Oh boy the long awaited backstory of Subaru, this will be epic. |
 |
| The pacing of this episode felt REALLY off. Not a whole lot of stuff really impressive for me, but at least it's food for thought. Echidna as a character is iffy for me, but at least she's entertaining. Some really nice atmospheric vibes when she was talking about the Witches, including herself. The Sanctuary obviously ain't a safe haven, it's a prison. Despite the events from s1, I felt like Emilia shouldn't have been that easily accepted by the villagers to take part in the trial. That's just my personal take. Then again, I never had a very positive impression of her character compared to that of Ram and Rem. On the good side, with the nature of this trial requiring both Emilia and Subaru, we can get added context into how the latter lived before he was whisked away into the fantasy world he's currently in. |
 |
| The Witch of Greed Echidna (another potential evil waifu), hidden within the illusions of the Lost Ruins that Subaru was transported to (instead of the Sanctuary to find answers). As much as Subaru is very cautious about her, their banter is quite hilarious, but the cinch of danger and scariness over-exudes from just her pure intimidation. The Trial of the Sanctuary (or more rather, the Witches' Graveyard)? Another new character introduction, and it's Garfiel, with a twist of misunderstanding on good terms. And it's nice to see Ram, Roswaal and the escapeed villagers once again, safe and sound. To hear Roswaal keep repeating Echidna's name though, it seems as though the Roswaal Family and the Witches of Sin share a common bond, a curse that only Emilia can repel in retaliation to Garfiel's clan. Welp to the villagers who've relented with Emilia's half-elf status of calamity during the entirety of Season 1, but the understanding from the chief was a nice surprise, and a much-needed closure. The trial of the Witches' Graveyard awaits EMT...but even Subaru...? Facing your own past...BACK IN THE REAL WORLD??? WHAT'S THIS? The man, the myth, the legend's backstory is at hand... |

Thanks "The answers you seek lie in the sanctuary" amirite Everything will be explained sooner or later I get that the questions I will raise will be answered eventually, that's what I like about it. But those questions should be like 'so this is what happened... what's the reason behind this?', rn I'm like 'I don't get what has happened..My mind is not clear,I'm confused' question. |

| BEST GRILL OF THE SEASON ECHIDNA! |
 |
| I just noticed there was a translation error. What Echidna did to the tea was not related to the "Witch Gene of Envy" but what she did was give Subaru partly the Witch Gene of Greed aka "her body fluids". |

So garfiel was referring to Subaru when he said that its unfair? If you pass the trial then you can exit the sanctuary? Is that it? |

The trial is to break the barrier that prevents half-bloods from leaving. |

If you pass the trial then you can exit the sanctuary? Is that it? More like if "anyone who is able to pass the trial" (unlike Ross), pass the trial, all and every half-blood will be released. Right now the pure blood species, like the humans or the pure demon Ram, are free to come and go. But the half-blood like Emilia and Garfiel are not, unless all the barrier be canceled by anyone passing the trials. |

| Echida won so many best girl points this episode. Despite how intimidating she came at first she's very cute when she wants. Her expressions were on point, and so was Maaya Sakamoto's voice acting. That being said, the scene where she mentions the previous Witches of Sin was chilling. I really want to know more about the other 6. We also got the appearance of Bakugou Garfiel and the return of Roswaal/Ram. I have to admit Roswaal becomes much more handsome when he's not looking like a clown lol. However, that moment where he talked about Echidna, he looked incredibly suspicious... So nice that the villagers trusted Emilia to free them from the barrier. After what she suffered, she deserves lots of love. That ending scene left me speechless. Did Subaru travelled back to his world O_O From what the voice of the temple said him ("first you have to confront your past"), I think it's not that he returned, but it is an illusion made by the temple. Will wait patiently for the next week to have my responses. |

Re:Zero nice troll ending. |
| Wow are things starting to heat up. There was a lot of context to be taken from thay episode for sure. |
| Anyone else noticed that one of the posters in Subaru's room was the cover of the Gakusen Toshi Asterisk's second volume? Also all of his waifus have silver hair, no wonder he fell for Emilia at first sight. |
| That's a witch I want. She is really cute...I wonder what her role will be. That ending really surprised me though...hmm back to the old life again? |
 |
| Great post @fullofregrets09. You're not so far from the truth but there were too few hints in the anime (yet) to figure it out. All of your questions will be answered this season but some of them in the second cour. |
|
| We didn't get an OP but now we got the ED playing in background. Witch of Envy is indeed a waifu. I felt sorry for her, Subaru with his priorities. Hope they meet again. She looks like a dark Emilia. Garfiel VA, famous for Bakugo and Accelerator, is he already ok, I thought he is about to have a throat surgery. Rezero and it's cliffhangers, never disappoints, back to the real world. That dad has a fun entrance. Gooood Morning! xD |

| The pacing of this episode felt all over the place and the translations between comedy and seriousness in this always seem off to me but it was still a good one with quite a lot of things happening. Echidna was an unexpected character. And now we will get to see about Subaru's past for which I'm pretty curious. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
