>only canon browns in Re:Zero are primitive women living in a forest at the southern tip of the discworldLet's fix that
>>273338027Will Meili show up in the next cour? Weird to give her promotional materials if she's going to be MiA for the entire season
Is Meili in love with Subaru? She seems really tsundere and I'm autistic so I can't tell at all.
>>273338079Next cour is going to finish up Arc 5. She is a major supporting character in Arc 6.
Did anyone else find it oddly sensual when Subaru took off his jacket this episode?
People told me chad garfiel wasn't going to fight lust, but my goat is going to get his get back like a real man.
If you are a fan of Regulus after watching this cour, I IMPLORE you to read the WN. The anime has done him dirty. This was already the case in season 2, but it was especially egregious this episode because they cut out his views on love completely.>>273338079If next cour gives a sneak peek into arc 6 and a shot of Meili sitting in the Roswaal mansion’s rape dungeon is included, then yes. If not then no.
>>273338136She's def fond of him post arc 6, but I don't think she fell for him yet
>>273338259The author did him the dirtiest, since he send to hate interesting characters.The anime didn't even characterize him at all. I was looking forward to much more than that cheesy bullshit.
>>273338623Seems to*
>>273338027I'm currrently just finished with Season 2 of Re:Zero, are the Gospels and Tome of Wisdom just the Strategy Guide for the main quest Subaru's supposed to be taking?
>>273338623What's his true character anon?
Does Garfiel's Divine Blessing really make him stronger on Mondays?
>>273338869it just makes him angrier on Mondays
>>273338724>>273338259
>>273338919Damn I want to hear how he'd say that li~ke line. But assuming he said this in response to emila. Really you guys are right if so, they made him look like a seething incel brat. Though in this he sounds more like a sociopathic that fears his own mortality and uselessness. I also got that from the super long line he said to crusch and rem that got cut. He implies he maybe the youngest of a big family and he hated how he was basically a serf/commoner and would die a meaningless death. But he's incredibly innocent in a way as he also seems to hate everything that invalidates him almost like a child. He says he hates slights against him but he made it seem like he was abused by his family but actually even being pitied is a sin to his greed as it invalidates his sovereignty in his mind. He's basically solipsism the person
>>273339088Witnessed and agreed. He's not the most interesting character ever or anything, but just like Cappy, he brings the unpleasant truths.
>>273339132Also, he's hot.
Is it just me or has the animation this season been genuinely kinda impressive? Re:Zero has never really looked particularly amazing imo. Mostly just looking mediocre or even kinda bad, but this season has looked quite good. Sometimes even outright impressive. It feels like S3 has been given an actual budget.
Emilia is worst girl (or at least not best), because it's hard to envision a scenario where she pins Subaru down and rapes him until she gets pregnant.Rem however, would easily fit in such a scenario, therefore making her better.That is all.
Idk if I'm just retarded but I swear it feels like the anime is removing the whole "Subaru is selfish and wants to be with both Rem and Emilia" aspect in the anime adaptation. Which would be the worst possible choice imaginable if true.
>>273339189I never had an issue without, the white whale was cool, atmospheric and peak. Season 2 kept the kino vibes going. Except for Emilia being worthless and all, but she kinda got past that after the trials.Can't help but think Subaru is gonna regret all that he's done for her, and in reality, he's doing it all for an Emilia in his mind that isn't real.
>>273339250It removed it back in season 1, and then Remu went in a coma so it was never brought up again. We will see what they will do with it once we get to Arc 7.
>>273339252Issue with that*
>>273339151My goat what a kind fellow.>>273339132I think he's a bit better than Cappy as she protrudes on others rights and seems to be more vindictive while regulus seems a bit more selfish. Cappy wants to prove that love is fake or super shallow but she does it in a way that's pretty bias so the point is lost. An she's proven wrong over and over, crusch is still loved by those around her like felix even when made ugly subaru cares enough to scar his own body for her proving Cappy's just a pathetic flat femcel mad at prettier girls for being loveable.
>>273339250>Subaru is selfish Extremely, and he has not idea how much.
>>273339200Consider: Drunk Emilia
>>273339250>>273339257There's no way they remove that in the anime. Subaru being incredibly selfish and unable to choose one or the other is unironically a core part of his character. He's inherently a flawed MC. Removing that would be massive character assassination on not just him but Rem too.
>>273339252>Can't help but think Subaru is gonna regret all that he's done for her, and in reality, he's doing it all for an Emilia in his mind that isn't real.This was brought all the way back in season 1, by Emilia herself when she asked him to leave her. He then kept coming, and kept confessing his love to her and did the whole 2000 things he loves about her speech.Because Subaru doesn't love some super heroine Emilia, he loves tard elf Emilia who definitely has some form of autism. That's just his type, I guess.
>>273339271He is more respectful, even if he is *somewhat* unhinged and insane.
>>273339314True, I remember his cringecore meltdown about why she owed him sex and whatnot.
>>273339271And it's true about Crusch, Felix actually appreciates what she did for him. I think that's a different form of love, but it applies.
>>273339312The anime for some of its faults has kept Subaru as his autistic fuck up self so I'd be stunned if they removed his selfish side too. Its kept most of his flaws so I wouldn't understand why they'd remove one of his most glaring ones.
>>273338027That's nice. I prefer my pale ass light haired WHITE women tho.
>>273339271>Cappy's just a pathetic flat femcel mad at prettier girls for being loveableOther girls may be more lovable, but she can take any form she wants.
>>273339463Baste taste
>>273339353Is regulus the most survivable sin archbishop?>>273339416I think that's why I say Cappy fails unlike regulus, he's selfish and calls out a key to subaru's character his inherent mc syndrome and selfishness. He also views himself as the only valid person in the world because other wise you'd have to deal with the childish niceties that it takes to exist in common society and he refuses as it would mess with his rights. He's greedy and doesn't say everyone is just that he only cares about himself but in a roundabout wayCappy implies that their is only 1 type of love and things like appearances and love is fake because she's a femcel. She turns people into flys and dragons then laughs at them for attacking them as if she didn't also turn them brainless beast. If it was just appearances like she said she'd make you a beast but leave you your brain and voice. Then see if their love ones can accept them, but she doesn't so it's a bit of a false equivalency to validate her own psychosis and force her values on others. I'd love to learn her backstory though but I guess garfiel and wilhelm will x her out soon.
So when do we learn Al's deal anyways? Doesn't he have a similar power to Subaru? I know they reveal it eventually.
>>273339271I wonder how her backstory will go...My bet is that she was rejected by some dude she loved due to her horrible personality, but coped with it by believing it was actually due to her looks which were destroyed by the dragon's curse.
>>273339353So you could realistically just chill and chat with Regulus just fine and not get fucking obliterated? Cause most of the arch bishops just love killing people.
>>273339499True, she is a woman-moment personified.
>>273339463Wait a minute echidna wasn't a elf? also is pandora a elf or human? Because if she's a elf she might be in danger as she'd hit subaru's strike zone.>Loli>Silver/white hair>elf>Pale/porcelain skin
>>273339525Possibly, but you'd have to choose your words extremely carefully and even then, he might schiz out and evaporate you. I'd be fine with taking that risk though.
>>273339525There is no way you could chill and chat with any of the archbishops unless you were insane too, they are all pure evil. He would find some excuse to kill or maim you.
>>273339560He does put up with way more shit than any of the other archbishops so there's that. You can maybe have a very brief convo and be fine if you leave right after. If you run into literally any other archbishop though you are completely fucked.
>>273339475Man real femcel shit here, >Cappy(the femcel): O..other g..girls might b..be pr..ettier b..but I can turn into y..you to make men love me>Random female: Doesn't that mean you are only lovable as someone else and basically cuckquean?>>273339511Actually could see this, or she was rem but without the goodness. She got rejected and assumed it was her dragon curse not just how it goes sometimes. Truly Cappy is a cuckette femcel.>>273339530I'm sad that it seems true she basically is just a insane woman given powers and acts like a overgrown child. An seethes at the concept of other women being more appealing or beloved than her. She even childishly calls herself "my own loveable self" iirc.
>>273339591Agreed, his can be forgiving as well. The other ones are just hateful and evil.
>>273339525>>273339560All fun and games til he likes you to much and decides you are his best friend and now he burst into your house whenever he pleases. He kills all your lovers because "oh they weren't good enough for you brother". Or worse he makes you his one "exception" and makes you his wife
>>273338136She just talks like a slut but there's no feeling behind it, she's copying Elsa's mannerisms.
>>273339635>Or worseOh no, that would be terrible haha
>>273339628What even is his power again? Doesn't he just have budget Accelerator powers or something? I remember him completely mercing Reinhard at one point in their fight.
>>273339501>So when do we learn Al's deal anyways?Al was taught by Echidna some 400 years ago and he's an ally of her's. He is also acquainted with Volcanica. For unknown reasons, Echidna tasked him with eliminating Subaru, but he gav up on this goal with he met Priscilla.
>>273339670Some kind of time-freezing business
>>273339314>Because Subaru doesn't love some super heroine Emilia,But... he does? That's the point in arc 4. That speech you mentioned is him placing her on a pedestal and not thinking she's anything but perfect, a genius, the kindest, invincible, etc... he only acknowledges her as a real person when Otto punches him. How did you miss that, there's a whole big scene about it?
>>273339670He fucks with time. iirc he freezes time and slices Reinhard in half straight down the middle. Reinhard is BS incarnate though and survives.
I'd still like to know wtf he deal is too.
>>273339532No, why would Echidna be an elf? Pandora is ostensibly human, but she's described oddly.
>>273339724Her*
>>273339692He was also Isekai'd right? And doesn't he have his own shittier version of Subaru's return from death?
Why did Subaru suddenly become NTR man this ep?>oh you got some nice DRAGON BLOOD? It'd be a shame if I took that>oh you're a healer with someone you love but can't heal? I'll heal your girl by touching her while she's moaning in her bed while you watch>oh you're having a touching moment with your grandson? let me say something that makes his heart swoon for me too.>oh reinhard is your knight felt? Nah, he's MY SWORD now.>oh you're having a wedding? It'd be a shame if you got your wife NTR'D both in her heart, mind, and body by me (and puck) while I crash your wedding with my gigachad bro
>>273339670>>273339721People have been hyping up the fight between Reinhard and Regulus since season one aired. Is it really that good?
>>273339663Based on how he treats his wife it would be anon, he'd be taking your cheeks mercilessly and if you change expressions you die.
>>273339724I'm so glad the art this season is nowhere near as bad as this image. Dude looks retarded here.
>>273339818I like him and Regulus, and they're both getting shelved quickly.RIP, Alka Seltzer-man.
>>273339749I thought she was a elf this whole time. Also pandora still in danger if she meets the lolimancer
>>273339813Agreed except its clear for that last one who Emilia is going for.
>>273339866It's ok, I already died years ago.
>>273339887
>>273339897Funny ass clip. But this ep goes to show that Emilia does like Subaru. She completely rejects Reggie and straight up gives him a NO answer. Meanwhile Emilia didn't reject Subaru's advances nor kiss.p.s. only love triangle there is Reinhard going after subaru
>>273339818Its a fight between two comically overpowered monsters. Its like the only real cool thing Reinhard gets to do in most of the series. Since the author has to keep his ass away from Subaru due to how easy he makes everything for him.
>>273339897There's room in his heart for 2.
>>273339935She's still a shit though, but he deserves that.
>>273339935>that Emilia does like SubaruShe explicitly said she doesn't.
>>273339755>He was also Isekai'd right?Yes, and he's physically in his late 30's or 40's. But when he was actually isekai'd is a mystery. Echidna lived over 400 years prior and he is affiliated with the Witch Cult, as he was behind the raid that exterminated the oni (Roswaal only allowed it to happen), knows Gluttony's powers and also knew where Typhon was buried in Priestella.His power is a short range version of RBD, it is better suited for combat but is worse/doesn't help you actually get to your desired future. In practice it's like the Bismarck's Geass from Code Geass.
>>273339967How does his checkpoint system work? Does he get to choose it unlike Subaru or does he have to hope it chooses a useful moment for him?
>>273339967>But when he was actually isekai'd is a mysteryHe says it was 19 or so years ago.>Echidna lived over 400 years priorHe doesn't interact with her when she was alive, its dream castle Dona.>as he was behind the raid that exterminated the oniThat's purely speculative.
>>273339989He manually does it so he can fuck himself over.
>>273340021So if he mis-uses it he can be stuck in a 100% unwinnable loop?
>>273340041In theory.
>>273340004>He says it was 19 or so years ago.Al lies, a lot. You can't trust that at all.From what I can tell, when Sphinx transforms into Echidna, she is taking on the form of the corpse in the Sanctuary, not the dream Echidna. We know this because Roswaal and Beatrice comment it looks like her but is a fake, while Emilia thinks Sphnix is Echidna's sister. This is a comment she made about the corpse when she saw it, as Emilia and Subaru are only familiar with Dream Dona. Subaru also notes that Sphinx looks different but doesn't mistake her for Echidna at all.
Do we ever get any more moments like with the rabbits were Subaru gets so broken it nearly fries his brain? Or is he mostly over the trauma caused by RBD from here on?
>>the day I know what love is, I will definitely love him>>60 years later>>Oh I sugooku know what love is now, I love you Subaru>>Emilia wtf, I'm in death bed surrounded by my children now
>>273339989He activates it and flips a coin. If he wins the flip, he's the aggressor, and his opponent loops whenever the opponent dies or Al dies. The opponent remembers every loop so it's like getting trapped by Gold Experience Requieum. This is the strongest outcome of his ability as it guarantees he wins every fight.If he loses the flip, he is the victim, and he loops like RBD and he remembers the loops. It only works within a boundary called a territory which is short range, about the size of a battlefield. Al can turn off the activation as he desires.
Is this Otto a fake or something? There's something off about him
>>273340068Doesn't Subaru end up stuck in a checkpoint where he has like 3 seconds before he dies?
>>273340121So if someone murdered Al before he could react he'd just die and that's that?
>>273340068Not quite like that, but he has some super fucked up loops.
>>273340208yep
>>273340100>I want to know what love is>I want you to show me
>>273340208Thats why he's incredibly cautious and lies through his teeth so much. He's fully aware of how limited his power is and how one wrong move could take him out before he could even do anything about it.
>>273340128>Is this Otto a fake or something?Otto is the smartest member of the Emilia Camp, smarter than Roswaal and Beatrice who have autistic tendencies. What you are seeing is him just flexing that intelligence.A lot of Re:Zero characters are kneecapped by retarded emotional restrictions like Subaru's "I don't care about the witches" shtick. Otto isn't having any of that.
>>273340068Nah the rabbits were uniquely bad. It would've turned him into a potato if he wasn't saved by Echidna. That said he does have some nasty loops later on.
I need to know right now if the Liliana is a permanent future member of Subaru's squad because her design, voice, and everything about her is absolutely TOP TIER
>>273339189Different studio
>>273340375No, if anything she was affiliated with Priscilla, but she doesn't hang around. She's only really appeared again in a set of short stories dealing with some aftermath of this arc.
>>273340375Lilliana has so far only appeared in Arc 5. She was hated by readers for being annoying and taking up time.In the anime she's improved by virtue of having an actual J-Pop singer voice her, and one who can actually sing.
>>273340538It's not a different studio, its still White Fox. There's a different director though and most of the staff is changed or shuffled around.
Reminder that Subaru confessed to Ram before Rem and she liked it.
>>273339525I think you have to be generally polite with him and not slight him in any capacity because then the mental gymnastics will start firing up.I don't know exactly what was cut in the anime, but I don't think he's ever went on one of his long tangents which seem like they're a core part of his personality. He's just been really petty.
>>273340845>I think you have to be generally polite with him and not slight him in any capacity because then the mental gymnastics will start firing up.He's literally me?
>>273340784I thought the only timeline subaru and ram are together are in the wrath if where he turns her into his oni sex slave?
>>273340784Rem took his words after the whale fight as a proposal/confession, although you are right he didn't say aishiteru to her, which he has to Betty and Ram.
>>273340867Are you also hot?
>>273340879>“There’s no way you girls knew this, but…” >“What…” >“—I! Love! Both of you!”Right in Arc 2.
>>273338259what is this faggot shit
>>273338027I need to correct Brazilian Betty, I suppose.
>>273339200>because it's hard to envision a scenario where she pins Subaru down and rapes him until she gets pregnant.She kissed him when he was dying, when she thought that's how babies were made.
>>273340622MY KING
>>273341056So? That's not how babies are made and she doesn't know how so she can't rape him to try and get herself pregnant. She wouldn't know where to start. And that required her to be completely mindbroken and on maximum whore behavior where she's trying to baby trap him to get him to do everything for her.
>>273341072They hated him because he told them the truth.
>>273340784Really cute art
>>273340622>>273341266I don't remember this guy. What's his story?
>>273341139Regulus if he was Daniel Larson, Pandora was Bob, and Emilia was Grace VanderWaal.
>>273341330Previous Great Spirit of Fire who tried to kill Emilia because she's going to blow up the world or something. He talks of the cycles of destruction that the witch factors have caused throughout history.
>>273341393Damn that sounds awesome, I'm surprised I don't remember. Ok thank you anon.Btw, who would win in a 1v1, him or puck?
>>273341410Puck, that's literally what happened retard. Didn't you watch the OVAs?
>>273341330https://rezero.fandom.com/wiki/MelakueraMelakuera (メラクェラ) was the Arbitrator, a former member of the Four Great Spirits. He was a judgmental spirit who viewed Emilia's existence as a sin because she possessed the same physical characteristics as the Witch of Envy, leading him to try and exterminate her. Seven years prior to the beginning of the story, he was eliminated by Puck in a battle that came to be known as the Day of Red Earth and Sky.
Arbitrator Melakuera cared about nothing more than maintaining peace and order. He cared greatly about the ancient rules he adhered to, as he refused to break them even if they were an inconvenience to him. He neglected to intervene in the sacred contracting between Emilia and Puck despite the problems he likely knew it would cause him. He was willing to go to any lengths in order to protect the world from darkness, even if it meant sacrificing the lives of innocents to do so. Melakuera seemed to only care about inflicting his brand of justice when the world was in danger, as he cared little for minor injustices committed by petty criminals. He was even willing to work with criminals to further his goals, such as when he formed a contract with the bandit Chap.>tldr, Emelia a shit
>>273341422Rude
>>273341410He only appears in side content/the Frozen Bonds OVA.
>>273341441>>273341528Ah, I see. I appreciate it anons, thank you. I think I'll check out that episode.
>>273341687Np, fren
Emilia is unironically ruining the show. Even with a director change the amount of favoritism to her over the core story and world is insane. If there's an Emilia scene or line it can't be cut no matter what, anything and everything else goes first. The only exception are lines she can't say because they've already cut the lines from someone else that she would respond to to make room for lines she's saying on her own. The effect of this is more profound than you would think. It means Emilia fundamentally monologues at people, because lines she says on her own initiative are kept, the other person's responses are cut off and so any back and forth is eliminated. She doesn't converse, as presented. This desperate ploy that thinks screentime = people must care is paradoxically detrimental. In the previous example it makes her scenes stilted and offputting in a way that most people probably won't consciously recognize. Secondly this means we get to see every boring moment and inane thought that pops into Emilia's head, while we don't get that for anyone else. It reveals her for as boring and uninteresting as she really is without abridgement while every other character is cut down to just highlights (in fact a common complaint is that they're undercooked and people care because they feel like there should be something more there. And their instincts are correct, there is more there that was cut primarily to stuff Emilia in wherever possible)Doing things this way hurts every other character and the show as a whole, even Emilia herself. She would be better served by smaller focused scenes that are rarer and dig down to the few core issues she has. Which is at least partially how she was used in the WN up to this point, with most of the worst scenes she had in the anime being LN original editions to try and justify her existence in a misguided attempt to force popularity.
>>273341779Echidna has very few scenes, but because of that it leaves people wanting more and wondering when she'll come back or in what context. Nobody ever wants more Emilia after her scenes end or cares what she's doing at any given moment. There's no mystery or desire for her because every time you see her she says everything on her mind, it's all surface level because she's basically a child, and the scene ends. Nothing to look forward to. In the rare instances she does make some proud declaration of future intent you will find yourself burned over and over. Going to save her father? Forgotten. Going to fix problems created by the cult? Forgotten. Finally going to lead the camp in her own right and take her place as the candidate? Ha ha, good joke, Petra leads more than her. Not even a meme. Going to stay by Subaru and finally talk thing out? 5 loops. I will love him eventually? 4 arcs and counting.This is actually why I think Arc 7/8 might be better and well received than people on here think. Emilia has no place. They would have to invent scenes just to check on her, which they probably won't spend the effort doing. They can't use their crutch of just having Emilia stare blankly at situations for minutes at a time, they have to fill the time with the other characters. And that will probably be to the series' benefit as a whole. Rem's presence is missed and whether you think the series has gotten up to cooler stuff since her coma or not you can't say her presence before was detrimental. I suspect with Emilia that won't be the case. Better events will be happening and scenes will flow smoother with more characterization for everyone involved and you can place it firmly on scenes not being obligated to jump over to check on what Emilia is doing (the answer is usually nothing)
Why were the Vollachian royalty so stupid? None of the zombie went further than they did in life.
I had a very vivid dream where I was in a death timeloop fighting against a psychopath, as soon as I realized the situation I was in the thought of getting badly injured without dying became my greatest fearI started thinking about re:zero when I woke up: what would happen to subaru if he got turned into a potato and put on life support until old age?
>>273341974Because all of them look the ground instead of to the heavensBut also that's not true. Lamia is the first one to do the multi body thing and is the one who inspired Sphinx to change her view on things that resulted in her doing the same and becoming the Witch of Greed.
>>273341987Once he dies he probably rolls back to before the situation that injured him in the first place no matter how long ago that was.
Crusch should really just let subaru suck out her dragonaids and get back into action. Why is she so dumb?
>>273342293Because she doesn't know if it will cripple him and she's not willing to let that happen.
Every season I wonder whether I'm truly enjoying the show, and every time an episode like this appears and blows away all my doubt.

>>2733434768 complete arcs and 9 started with no signs of anything progressing beyond that.
