>>283489822Anyone who gained a cheat power would instantly start figuring out how to abuse it as efficiently as possible. Anyone who routinely died in unpleasant ways would invest in a suicide pill. Anyone who got the offer to have a near omniscient witch sex slave to bounce ideas and fluids off, in exchange for nothing, would take it. If they thought there was something suspicious about the contract they would negotiate instead of sperging out.Subaru is a retard and anyone who views him as realistic instead of frustrating is a double retard.

>>283490005If you spent your entire life browsing 4chan maybe.
I would unironically say that Rudeus is more realistic than Subaru, the speed in which Subaru fell for Emilia, the fact that he fell in love with Rem after she's killed him multiple times requires a little suspension of disbelief, I wouldn't want anything to do with Emilia after the first death. Rudeus was a gross pervert in his past life and with the ability to hide behind the flesh of a child decided to groom little girls to be his future onaholes. Which is what I'd do.
>>283489822He is just as unwatchable and unbearable as Rudeus. They are both trash.
>>283494573At least Rudeus is more realistic because he is an irredeemable scumbag that takes advantage of his new situation to keep being the same shitty person he was in his previous world, but now without consequences. Most people would do this because most humans are garbage.
>>283494873Great example of how it's possible to write a story that's smart and bad at the same time
I'm not sure why people get so hung up on the fact that Subaru (and Emilia by proxy) don't do things the right way. The whole point of the show is an isekai that doesn't go the way you want it to. Subaru's placed in extremely unfair positions and has to learn things the hard way, while handicapped by his former self and issues. Any smart guy would immediately get over Emilia once he realizes how unbelievably uninterested and oblivious she is, unlovable, even, and he's a gigantic retard for rejecting Rem who is wife material.The entire world in Re:Zero is comically, unbelievably unfair. By Subaru getting raped constantly by the worst possible circumstances, you as a viewer also get to experience that same suffering by watching Subaru fuck it all up. It's like a beautiful mirrored trainwreck that only pays off in the extremely rare moments where nothing terrible happens, like when they first visited the Water City at the beginning of S3 (picrel).
>>283494873Interesting interpretation. The way i see Rudeus is that he doesn´t think of himself as trash. I believe he thinks he is entitled to be happy for whatever reason even though he is passive as fuck and doesn´t actively works towards it. In any case both these guys are below Kazuma, who is also trash but fully accept his nature as a piece of shit and acts the part. Rudeus on the other hand tries to pretend he is not trash... As for Subaru, he is trash and a fucking simp (and an entitled one at that).Honestly these guys don´t have what it takes to be MCs.
>>283495039Kazuma at least is funny He doesn't come off like the author is trying to cope with being shit without actually doing self improvement, and he's written that way for purely artistic reasons.
>>283492506At the very least, Subaru should have gone gung-ho in exploiting RBD the moment he discovered that his timeline respawn point changed. It's shown a little in the show (I believe in that Witch trial?) where he's forced to relive the timelines after he dies, which is brutal, but he completely fails the psychological test here, which is that any timeline in which he's alive is the only one that is real and truly matters.What I'd really love to see would be Seiya from Cautious Hero, but in Subaru's shoes. You just know he'd exploit the fuck out of RBD.
>>283489822he's not even the most retarded character of all time, that goes to toumasubhumaru is just 2nd place>>283490319not even in the novels does he even inquire intelligently about anything, nor does he even care about the history and how things work, he's just a retard who cries because he doesn't even realise he's retarded
I HATE Subaru
>>283494873>>283495039I disagree with you guys that Rudeus doesn't think of himself as trash. The guy is deeply, deeply wrapped up in feelings of shame and inadequacy because of the shit life he had. He actually grows throughout the series and becomes a better person, thoughbeit a bit of a horndog, but that's not such a terrible trait.Where MT really shines is in Sylphy, who as I've said in previous threads is the epitome of feminine grace, and is best girl. She really has true, selfless devotion for Rudy. There is no comparison between her and Emilia. Emilia's just stupid, like brain dead.I said this in another thread too, but imagine that little midget screaming at that busker in NYC.>YOU HAVE NO GRACE! NO TALENT!>I WALKED SYLPHIETTE DOWN THE AISLE IN HOUSE GREYRAT!>YOU'RE NOTHING!
>>283495005>point of the show is an isekai that doesn't go the way you want it toOh so it is bad on purpose. even more of a reason to hate this faggot show
>>283495340>grooms and tries to rape little girls>steals a girl's panties and builds a shrine with them>buys a slave while using the "when in rome" excuse to justify his actions>cheats on his wife while using the "when in rome" excuse to justify his actions>and so on and so forthNone of this shows any growth nor can be dismissed as "not such a bad trait". The guy thinks of himself as a scumbag and acts accordingly.
>>283489822No
>>283495131Has the show ever shown him killing himself? I would imagine the curse would take issue with suicide.
>>283495855yes he jumped off a cliff and killed himself in s1
>>283495005>Any smart guy would immediately get over Emilia once he realizes how unbelievably uninterested and oblivious she isIsn't there some supernatural reason for his attraction to her? Witch shit?
>>283489822the gayest of all time maybe, I enjoy watching him suffered a lot
>>283489822Reminder that Rem tortured this man for no reason
>>283496001She had a plenty good reason
>>283495005any smart guy would've abused rbd to rape emilia hundreds of times after puck was gone.
>>283495855I think he also committed suicide when he discovered one of the girls dead after a battle, my memory is a bit hazy on that one though. It was one of the scenes during the Witch Trial where he had to relive everyone grieving over his corpse.
>>283496035being stinky is not a good reason to kill someone
>>283495005i think petra is the best choice for subaru if he wants to go platonic, they could start a daycare ffs.
>>283495221shove a mabeast up your ass, felix

>>283490319>in exchange for nothing,It is literally not in exchange for nothing, it is in exchange for indulging in her dumb ideas. He proceeds to loop hundreds of thousands of times to badly clear arc 4 by taking that deal instead of just winning immediately.
>>283495977Not confirmed but its very likely he has some impression of Satella engraved into his soul. How much that really affects his behavior is debatable because it hasn't been addressed. Before ever getting isekai'd if you had him build a waifu to his exact tastes he would make someone who looks roughly like Emilia as Capella later demonstrated. Now, did he get summoned because by whatever twist of fate he's the one weirdo in the universe craving exactly Satella or does he have some unexplained carryover that causes him to love someone who looks like Satella even though he isn't aware of it?
I wonder if satella goons to him while he’s sleeping
>>283496126>Never had to deal with a coworker that doesn't shower
>>283496652I'm not European so I can't relate.

>>283497101How's he gonna do that when he's already in the Molgdo Geyser in a bag with a bunch of rocks?
>>283492993>you mightAnd there's your issueSubaru knows for a fact that he is going to return.We on the other hand do not have this certainty.And yes, at first Subaru didn't know either.But he eventually learns about it, rather quick mind you.Therefore the point the other anon made still stands.Subaru has infinite reloads and not once has he ever tried to exploit his powersSo no, Subaru is not "realistic" as the OP asked because any person would have tried to exploit their powers once they learn they have it.tl;dr OP made a shitty bait thread to get people to talk about Re:Zero and here we are all falling for it.
>>283496948I'm still hoping for all the maids + Yae to take down Al.
>>283497159I think most people would abuse this ability but that is also a good way to become insane and end up like one of the archbishops. You would become obsessed and up killing yourself over the smallest thing and playing out the same situations hundreds of times would make you lose your mind.
>>283497159>Subaru knows for a fact that he is going to return.No he doesn't. Especially not early. You said the second you found out you came back to life once you'd instantly try to abuse it and do it a bunch. Subaru at that point in the story doesn't know why that's happening or anything about the entity doing it. And yes, before you say yet another stupid thing, that's an entity doing it to him, it is not his power.>But he eventually learns about it, rather quick mind you.It takes months before arc 4 happens and even then its still conjecture on the nature of Satella that she will never give up on him. Which might be true, too bad the power seems to have a range limit and regardless of how Satella feels about it if you die outside the range of her authority you're going to stay dead.
>>283497159>any person would have tried to exploit their powers once they learn they have itIt involves dying. Dying is painful. You don't control the checkpoint. You don't know what this is doing to you that you aren't aware of. Subaru is aware the more he resets the "closer" Satella feels and he has the heebie jeebies that if Satella touches him in the shadow garden its game over. Whether that's true or not is unknown. He is also aware, in the immediate arc following one before he knows anything else about the entity doing this to him, that dying comes with it an increase in a particular scent that already got him killed because some people can detect it and are hostile to it. This then comes up again in arc 4, drastically changing how the loops work in a way that was very annoying for him to figure out. Also, as Subaru is not actually retarded, even assuming he can reset infinitely and operating on the assumption that he is doing an actual reset of the timeline and not leaping to a different one, he is trying to avoid dying as a hedge against that as well as it being unpleasant.BTW "realistic" people constantly avoid doing minorly uncomfortable things that literally make them better, such as exercising, dieting, learning and so on. And you think the average person would kill themselves constantly to try and abuse an ability that they don't actually control beyond that they could kill themselves to activate it?
>>283497159>Unlike this beta Main Character I, the fedora lord, would absolutely experience the pain of killing myself over and over in order to take advantage of things. Take advantage how? I dunno but I'd figure it out and totally abuse it lolYou are the kind of person this setting would chew up and spit out. Even if you got over the pain and the mental issues with intentionally killing yourself over and over, you wouldn't make any progress. Subaru tries his best to get as far as he can because he doesn't have the advantage of knowing he's in a story. The returns could stop at any point. The save point changes arbitrarily. Imagine doing whatever you can in order to 'get ahead', then kill yourself, but realize you're still fucked. Imagine Groundhog Day but the loop suddenly changes from the morning to when he's driving towards the quarry drunk as hell. You wouldn't be able to get any further and all that would wait for you are the way, way more painful deaths.
>>283497349>+ YaeMaybe Rem could use her corpse as a club or something so she's spiritually helping.
>>283497716Satella will always make the point somewhere he can potentially avoid dying, at least if she can. This doesn't mean he's in a good spot, permanent relationship damage could be locked in, losing everything but his life could be locked in, but he'd technically be alive and able to continue being alive so at least as long as the ability is functioning right he's not going to get stuck in an instant death loop.
>>283497728yae faked her death me thinks
>>283497802Her torso was mostly replaced by an iron ball.
>>283497970She conveniently moved her organs before that.
>>283495005Nothing too terrible happened during the year timeskip between arcs 4 and 5, it’s why Subaru freaked out so much after his first Sirius death, he was having a ‘it’s happening again!’ moment
>>28349770Are you are really comparing stuff like doing excercise and eating healthy to going back in time? Bro...And there are plenty of ways to kill yourself painlessly, jumping off a cliff being a method Subary has already used in the past. And you don't have to do it constantly just in a way that benefits you when required. I'd rather drink some insta-kill fantasy potion than be eaten alive by fucking rabbits or use the knowledge of future events as a bargain chip for my benefit (like the white whale stuff)
>>283498012She ain't the only one conveniently moving her organs
>>283497765Yeah. There'd be a limit in how much the return could be cheesed because you'd always have to make sure that, if the checkpoint was moved up, you wouldn't be even further in the hole than when you started. Making an ass of yourself just to learn something that would have been good to know a week ago doesn't help if your checkpoint spontaneously moved to immediately after you made an ass of yourself. Which is something I would absolutely do if I was bringing someone back from death and they started trying to be cheeky about it.
>>283497349> all the maidsFrederica is busy grooming Schult
>>283498089>Are you are really comparing stuff like doing excercise and eating healthy to going back in time? Bro...Yes you retard. Those are infinitely easier to do than literally killing yourself and people already don't do them despite the obvious known benefits because they are merely uncomfortable. You wouldn't be any less of a bitch regardless of what you get out of the painful exchange.>And there are plenty of ways to kill yourself painlessly, jumping off a cliff being a method Subary has already used in the past.Its not painless. Go ahead and enumerate the "painless" ways to kill yourself on the spot and how Subaru would acquire the means to do them. Protip: If he can comfortably set up his own death to painfully drift to sleep he is so safe he will wake up the second he started to try doing that. You know, because the only fucking danger is himself. >I'd rather drink some insta-kill fantasy potionWhere do you get it? He asked for such a thing and turns out it doesn't work as advertised because nobody can actually test it and report back.
>>283489822He was good in S1 but hes been a boring puppet since then. Part of what made S1 good was how believable his dedication to Emilia was. NEET from a boring developed nation with no reason to live gets transported to another world and latches on to the first girl that is nice to him. The mystery about her identity is interesting and she treats him like a human even as the situation changes between loops. All that leading up to the final scene in episode 1 gives a great motivation for Subaru. The comedy of his character and his "realistic" motivations might be the main thing that makes S2 better than the rest.
>>283498320S1 better than the rest*
>>283498207And Sylphy is at home.

What is stopping Subaru from using Cor Leonis Second Shift to share Ram' burden with the Emilia Camp all the time?There are like 15 people he can probably share shit at will, and I'm pretty sure Ram would appreciate not being in unbearable pain 24/7 for a change

>>283498607>What is stopping Subaru from using Cor Leonis Second Shift to share Ram' burden with the Emilia Camp all the time?Being an orb up a man's ass. Ram would probably disconnect herself from the network as she wouldn't really want to be burdening everyone like that all the time.

>>283490537True, I would leave without getting personally involved, but I would at least try to call the police to help her; that wouldn't require me to take any risks or make any sacrifices.
>>283489822If by “realistic” you mean acting like an obnoxious faggot, having your development reset after every pep talk from a cute girl (try something fail “waah woe is me” get cheered up try again succeed repeat) or simping for a cute girl to a ridiculous degree, then yes, I suppose he’s realistic.>>283490319Is it even possible to invent something like that in medieval times? Carrying a dagger to kill yourself seems like the only logical choice -- still painful, but better than being tortured or eaten alive. Maybe a crossbow or some kind of device if Subaru asked someone to invent it for him, or just ask Beatrice for killing him without pain
>>283499310>>283499368
>>283499495There must be some kind of poison herb that somebody knows about. Whether you can grind it up and encapsulate it in a pill and how fast it activates are perhaps separate matters, but it should theoretically be possible.Speaking of which I would use modern technological knowledge to become a wealthy inventor since I can just copy successful ideas from my time. Maybe I'd invent anime and save/destroy their civilization too.
>>283498570Do these two ever have lesbian sex?
>>283499870Priscilla kissed for the soul marriage but that's that.
>>283499175That's why picrel was one of the most based tertiary characters of S3, because he was doing his damnedest to lock her up in his house so no one would ever have to hear her awful music
>>283495340>>YOU HAVE NO GRACE! NO TALENT!>>I WALKED SYLPHIETTE DOWN THE AISLE IN HOUSE GREYRAT!>>YOU'RE NOTHING!Kek
>>283499817No poison is comfortable, you do understand why you die from poisons right? Even our modern lethal injections first utilize anesthesia, a totally separate process to make it "painless". If you took the drugs we inject into you while conscious you would die in extreme agony.Poisons are also not that fast, relatively speaking. You might take a dose that will cause too much damage for you to survive, but how fast you actually die is another matter. That's actually something that can be potentially mitigated with magic, making it possible for people to interrupt you if you try.
>>283499817>>283500243Also there is a poison pill he eventually gets someone to make. Its claimed to be both fast and painless. It is neither. Well, its sort of fast but longer than you would want it to be for how much it is not actually painless.
>>283499495>or just ask Beatrice for killing him without painBetty would quite literally never agree to this. If he asked, she would become paranoid and begin watching him closely to make sure he could never do it in the future either.This is the problem with most of Subaru's allies, almost none of them would allow him to die if they knew he wanted to and would go to great lengths to stop him. If he asked Otto to source poison Otto would immediately distrust him, likely at first assuming Subaru wanted to poison the other candidates or something which Otto wouldn't really approve of. If Subaru said he wanted it for himself Otto would refuse.If that information then ever, at all, in any hint made it back to Roswaal, his factions benefactor, he is FUCKED. I don't think you understand how fucked. The taboo that the condition is him dying is for his benefit, it is to protect anyone ever knowing that so they can't do the many trivial things to turn his entire power off forever. Roswaal can do these things, he just doesn't know he needs to. The second he knows or has any hint that's the trigger he now makes all his normal betrayal plans but the second he betrays everyone he also puts Subaru into a coma and then throws him into a crystal. GG no RE.
>>283500321>he second he knows or has any hint that's the triggerThis is another little tidbit that makes RBD so hellish, Subaru can't tell anyone, but even if he were able to tell someone, it would fuck him over even worse than not having RBD at all.
>>283495977Don't get me wrong, I understand having an initial simp reaction to Emilia. She's got really nice titties and her initial impression is of innocent, princess-like beauty. I'm an elf enjoyer so I get it. Still, that initial impression immediately evaporates the moment you actually talk to her. Beako is a million times better.
>>283500364He's actually quite lucky the first person who finds out about it is Petra and that she's smart enough to understand why she shouldn't talk about it.
>>283499495> just ask Beatrice for killing him without painPost Arc 4 Beatrice would never kill Subaru
>>283500445it was echidna no?
>>283489822Nothing about Subaru is realistic. The ways he refuse to use his power to his gain, the way he's so devoted to people he barely know for few months, the way he keep getting himself in bad situation. The novel makes up bunch of "rules" so the story can have stakes because otherwise Subaru abuse the fuck out of RBD after investing in easy death bill or smth. Weak and helpless = realistic seems to be people idea of what realism is. Self-reflect.
Holy shit, season 3 was a complete travesty.>Beatrice is a terrible character, and now she’s glued to Subaru>Subaru himself acts even more obnoxious than before -- maybe that’s just me since it’s been years since season 2, but he’s way more irritating now>the villains fucking suck compared to Roswaal or Echidna -- they’re all loud, ridiculous, and edgy. It would’ve been fine if it were just one crazy villain like in season 1, but now there are five of them, and every single one is equally annoying>I don’t care about the tiger boy or the singing loli, yet they get a ton of focus this season>the entire season is just mindless unga bunga fighting -- which completely misses what made the earlier seasons goodHoly shit, what went wrong? I’m honestly afraid to rewatch the previous seasons I liked because I might end up finding them terrible too.
>>283489822He's ridiculously positive at times and bounces back really quickly. I don't think a normal human would still be able to find the optimism to find a solution after a few deaths like he does. Especially not in the sanctuary arc.
>>283500636For a second I read that as >Holy shit, season 3 was a complete travestite.And I was going to say, "wait until season 5 if it ever happens."
If Subaru asked them to kill him, would anyone in the Emilia camp comply?
>>283500740Maybe Roswaal.
>>283500475Well sort of I guess. First person of people that are his allies. Because Rui/Roi/Rai knew second.
Rem and Emilia? Built for NTR.
>>283500636>the villains fucking suck compared to Roswaal or Echidna -- they’re all loud, ridiculous, and edgy. It would’ve been fine if it were just one crazy villain like in season 1, but now there are five of them, and every single one is equally annoying
>>283500774Roswaal might but he would have to be very careful because conditionally he might not and also recognize that as the trigger now and then do something Subaru doesn't want him to do.>>283500740Shaula would've, I don't think anyone else currently would and they would take actions to stop him. Well I guess exactly currently Petra might because she knows what he's doing.
>>283500843He'd never find out if he did that. I think Clind could be another but he'd probably find some gay reason not do.
>>283489822Bro, this shit fell HARD after season 1.
>>283500740> “I’ll kill you, just as I promised!! Got that, Natsuki Subaru?!!” - Garfiel's Third Trial Line

>>283495131how do you keep a story engaging when the mc can never fail and doesnt give a shit about dying? without just making it a comedyit would just be them dying 10000000 times whenever there is even the slightest opposing force and everything goes perfectly because why not infinite tries and all
>>283500854>He'd never find out if he did that.That's the point. Once Roswaal has Subaru ask him he then doesn't do it because now he knows Subaru's weakness and wants to retain the info. If the situation needed a reset by Roswaal's estimation then he would do it and lament that he finally figured it out but won't remember. So it would be super circumstantial and also playing with fire.
>>283500901This is something he arranged ahead of time and we haven't currently seen it. So as of right now, he could probably not ask Garfiel to do that. Well if he was out of Al's ass.
>>283501235The fun would be in Seiya fucking wargaming the shit out of every possibility where he could exploit death to alter the timeline. For him, he's the ultimate planning MC. Dude has no qualms about spending every waking moment preparing for every possibility. The opening arc of Re:Zero where Subaru gets ambushed by that hot bitch that eviscerates her targets would have been solved in merely 2 episodes if Seiya were in charge. Though your point is correct, it wouldn't be Re:Zero if the MC were competent. It would be a comedy. Hence my effortpost above where I said the whole point of Re:Zero is that it's an isekai where nothing goes right; the MC suffers, the viewer suffers, everyone suffers. We're left with tiny glimpses of a perfect future with Rem and suffer in the trenches of our own lives.
>>283501303>would have been solved in merely 2 episodes if Seiya were in chargeIf Seiya is just a normal human like Subaru he wouldn't do any better. He'd just have to call the guards. He can't physically get stronger through looping he loses all gains as his body resets. Learning Elsa's moves is pointless because of the immense physical disparity, in one of the IFs Subaru does that and gives up. She so much faster she can adjust to whatever he does on the fly since she's not a video game boss with set attack patterns, she can stop or readjust based on how he acts.
>>283501365Also Subaru had it done in 3 and that's kind of a pacing thing so its a weird flex to say a super competent dude shaves merely one episode off.
>>283500872Season 2 is the best
>>283501866...said nobody ever
Pic related is by far the most realistic isekai protagonist. He was smart enough to sell inventions from his world to finance his adventure.
>>283495039>Kazuma, who is also trash but fully accept his nature as a piece of shit and acts the part.He's the "Nothing ever happens" protagMeanwhile...>Subaru: I want 2 girls and i'll take the magical loli as well!>Rudeus: Wherever i go i must also rape.
fuck you guys. Kazuma died trying to save a child. Yea I know that he was mistaken, but his intention was pure. He died and got made fun of/was unappreciated. He often does the "right" thing at his own expense, even to cover for the fuckups of his own party.He's a good boy, and you aren't
>>283489822Depends on how you use realistic. For feats, Subaru seems suprisingly strong for a normal human with just working out daily. Super charismatic and intelligent with how he can get people on his side with just a single loop, even though he was kind of a NEET previousy.I do love how all the people he saved, the feats he accomplished and the friends he made in season 1, he still doubts his usefulness and tries doing everything by himself. If subaru was closer to a normal person he'd 100% be forced to abuse RBD way more, even if by just accidentally screwing something up. It's actually amaizing how cleanly S2 and S3 went with the amount of returns he used.Haven't watched that many isekais but kasuma does seem like the closest to a fully normal human in another world.
>>283502374So was Nanahoshi from MT, but unlike Scumzuma she used her money to learn how to build a magical machie to get back to Earth instead of wasting her time babysitting chuunys, tards and sexual deviants.
>>283502374Subaru made a wheelchair with expensive parts for Rem.
>>283500473Not even Post Arc 4 Beatrice. Even in 2 and 3, Beatrice refuses to directly kill subaru, although teleporting him ontop of the witch cult is kind of a dick move but I assume she didn't do it willingly.>>283495977Doesn't Subaru have like a shelf full of white haired elf girl figurines. If you ever met your waifu you'd 100% be with them to the ends of the earth.
>>283489822After he saves Emilia the first time he dies as a character
>>283503147cute and male MCs!
>>283489822Motherfucker was doing Indiana Jones bullshit in S3, he's far past the realism line.
>>283503645>being able to do basic parkour shit with a whip after a year’s worth of practice is unrealisticWhatever you say, fatty>>283500636>the villains fucking suck compared to Roswaal or EchidnaBait. Roswaal and Echidna both shat the bed completely after decent buildup, and Echidna wasn’t even the villain of the arc. The archbishops were at least entertaining>>283500657The arc where he had a seizure over the bunnies and needed Echidna to bail him out? That sanctuary arc?>>283503202No, he dies as a character when he’s made to indulge in the author’s crossdressing fetish
this anime is literal garbage for underagetheres 34251 better shitty isekai than this one, i still dont understand why this fucking garabge is popular
>>283503971Name 34251 better isekai
>>283503999everything thats airing this season is better than underage:zero years oldI erase all the iskeai slop from my memory otherwise, most of it is forgettable garbage, but better than shit:zero

New chapter, "Aldebaran I" https://ncode.syosetu.com/n2267be/748/
Simply put, no. Subaru is not really realistic at all. He basically doesn't care that he left his birth family behind and that he's stuck in a nightmare fantasy world. Also, how should Subaru not even know what an elf was if he was a NEET during high school? Do you guys remember that scene? He didn't know what an elf was....like an elf of all things....even people who aren't NEETS know what they are.It also doesn't help that he is immensely stupid. First of all, if he would stop trying to save people he would actually be more realistic. If you were getting constantly traumatized by others because you made one minor mistake maybe just say fuck you guys and go be an Appa salesman or some shit. Basically he's fucking DUMB!
Animeonlies GTFO its spoilers time, but a bit later when I get done reading this.So farObviously Al was created by Echidnaand some confirmation from Al directly that Rem is supposed to be dead by his reckoning.
>>283504018you are obviously mentally underage even if you're over 18 years old
>>283507237>and some confirmation from Al directly that Rem is supposed to be dead by his reckoning.I suppose we've figured that one out which is why her presence always bothered him.
If I got this right, though I'm not sure about itAl was created circa Flugel's time and Echidna sealed him in Ol Shamak up to when he emerges closer to the main story. He lost a fight to somebody and lost his arm in the process. This seems to maybe contradict previous statements that he lost the arm at gladiator island but its possible he's just lied to everyone he met since and isn't telling them he lost it hundreds of years ago. He was made to carry Flugel's legacy so presumably he was trying to kill or save Satella and lost to someone that was preventing whatever he was doing, possibly Satella herself
>>283507532We've had statements that people were arguing over, but yes, the general consensus was that Al thought Rem is supposed to be dead. Now that's entirely confirmed. His annoyance maybe stems from her being alive as proof that Subaru can fight fate and win, while Al doesn't really think he can and is salty about it.
>>283489822I've never seen a protagonist that felt less human than Subaru. Then again the modern world is filled with soulless humanoids.
>>283507568Reid cut his arm for shit and giggles
It is completely understandable that Al lost his shitHe literally betrayed Echidna's wishes by helping the person he was supposed to defeat, and in return, Subaru left Priscilla to die.
>>283507651But did he eat it?
Maybe he's not a Pissbaru clone and is some other jap isekai'd 400 years ago in Echidna's and Flugel's time. Looking like it may not be that predictable hackery after all. But I'm worried Hackpei gonna hack still.
>>283507900He's a copy of a particular person and shares a lot of reasoning with him which possibly altered his appearance due to the weird soul shenanigans, like how Sphinx transforms into Echidna when she has a paradigm shift. So he might not have always looked like Subaru/Flugel but became so after whatever fucked up thing Echidna did to him.
Emilia is effortless beating the shit out of Al right? She is probably going to talk-no-jutsu him soon also.
>>283508067He's ignoring her. So far its not effortless but half the bits with her in it are talking about what a godlike wizard genius she is.
I've cracked the code, Emilia is the form of he ur-retard. Subaru simply loves the platonic form of stupidity made manifest. Satella looks like Emilia because when she went full retard it warped her body to match.
Emilia a shitSatella a shitIn the end, that's all that matters.
Chapter 53 when?
>>283507900Well there're still a lot of mysteries regarding the events 400 years ago.
>>283509535why isn't her pupil and iris also white?
Rem & Ram a shitPriscilla a shitLiliana a shitEchidna a shitFelix a shitIn the end, your attention belongs to me subaru.
>>283509764Beako love
>>283509720
>>283489822The story goes into detail about how totally insane Subaru is.
>>283509499Slutella + Moblia = Whore of Envy
>>283489822Amazing this still causes melties to this day.
>>283510330Yea Rem does seem to mindbreak you.
Five loops
>>2835099132spooky
I only read for Al
This is still really hinging on what Al thinks should've happened and why he knows that.So maybe Echidna made Al out of some projected future Subaru and she was trying to jump the gun on how this was supposed to resolve. But at that point Al's current motivation to remove Subaru seemingly at Echidna's direction is weird. Did anything in the No Stella stories confirm Echidna told him to get rid of Subaru? I haven't read them so I don't really know, if they didn't its possible this is action Al is taking entirely himself and not really what he's supposed to be doing. Or maybe Echidna's future knowledge is so obtuse that somehow this course of action and it failing is important for what she actually wanted to have happen. Future knowledge makes such a mess of things, especially when it feels really arbitrary. Like Rem was apparently predicted to die, presumably in arc 2, but Subaru has avoided that and thus a lot of the future predicting things are off kilter. But that seems like such a weird thing to get wrong, is it arbitrary or is there going to be some real mechanic behind it?
>>283511407Another thing is that Al seems to really like Ram, so some other shit went down there.
>>283509764Not so fast, bedwetter
>>283511474Really like is a bit of stretch maybe, he's friendly with her though. But if he's "Subaru" then that would just naturally follow, he has future memories of being Ram's coworker like Subaru is, though its weird how any of that would play out unless Al is literally Oboreru Subaru.
>>283489822is this shit worth a rewatch and catch up? I watched until something to do with white bunny, but it was covid summer or the winter after and every episode i watched i was high as hell and I don't remember much. so I'll have to rewatch a bunch to even remember what's going on
>>283509764>In the end, your attention belongs to me subaru.
>>283511662>Subaru's hands going under Beako's dress to squeeze her buttI'm so fucking jealous.
>>283511662
Since we're probably going into endgame for this Al business.
>AI this AI thatWhen will this slop disappear
>>283489822He’s the most realistic and relatable MC to the point where the series turns into the one of the most irrelevant isekai without his POV
>>283496507That's on him though. He didn't actually have to listen to her. He isn't mind controlled or anything he just indulges in all her whims for no reason.
>>283495005Yeah dating the bitch who tortured and killed him sounds like the logical thing to do. Fuck off with the trash bait
>>283512508Emilia a shit, fuck off retard
desu tappei is just a mediocre writer. most ppl in here have written better ideas than he could ever come up with lol
>>283511945>Al was actually AI the whole timeNaruhodo...
I'm curious how Al was "made". He's not a spirit, he's a person, did Echidna mindfuck some random kid until he thought he was Subaru?
>>283513241no lol it's timeline fuckery Subaru (Think Revenge:IF possibly) hence the fucked up memories, what sphinx said to him, the image from stella no life
>>283513311Echidna said she made him, he didn't just show up one day like that.
Should I watch this thing?I've had absolutely zero contact with the light novels so I will have no idea which parts are well adapted and which ones are not.
>>283513356Made him as in his mind as it is now, fucked with it kinda like she did to Subaru in Greed:IF
>>283513241Al is Echidna's actual biological son she had with some random dude who isn't Roswaal who she mindfucked into being a bad copy of the guy she actually wanted to bang and she was disappointed he didn't try fucking her when he became a horny teenager.Source: It would be super fucked up and that would be funny.
>>283513374If he was already Subaru from another timeline she wouldn't need to do anything with his mind he would already be like that. He also would've never undergone puberty while in her care because Subaru starts at 17 and only gets older from there.
Okay, so the Current Aldebaran Timeline™ should be something like this:> Aldebaran was created by Echidna and possibly Flugel 400 years ago and was trained in the use of his Authority to be the one to kill Satella> Aldebaran failed, lost his arm, then was SEALED and BETRAYED by Echidna for 300+ years using Ol Shamak> 20 years before the start of the story, Aldebaran woke up in Gladiator Island and decided to live there for a while> At some point in time, Aldebaran decided that killing Subaru was his new mission for unknown reasons> Aldebaran mets Priscilla, acts like a tsundere for a while, and then Al pledges his loyalty to her> Yae tries to kill Priscilla and is mindbroken by Al> Al meets Ram in Arc 1, he already knows her> Al meets Subaru during Arc 3 and immediately notices that he is from Earth> Al meets Subaru and Rem during Arc 3 and freaks out because she isn't supposed to be alive> Al meets Beatrice in Arc 5, he already knows the pet name Subaru gave her> Al kills every higher up in Priestella with the exception of Kiritaka to protect Typhon's remains> Al does shit in Vollachia I guess idk I didn't read Arc 7 and 8> Al BETRAYS and SEALS Subaru
>>283513400If he's from a fucked timeline or whatever (Maybe even just a copy hence the whole made thing) she still can mess with his mind for whatever her plan all is.also>He lost his arm to Shadows of Satella>Sent from EchidnaHe would have to be from a fucked timeline
>>283513444Checkedand this lore is getting to be super fucking retarded, beyond complicated as well than it needs to be lol
>>283513444More or less. One thing about when he appears in Vollachia is the specific time is about 18 years, which would mean he possibly got unsealed coinciding with Subaru being born on Earth. Not sure if that's relevant for anything or just Tappei being weird.In Vollachia Al didn't honestly get up to that much but this chapter he seems to be disgusted that he was interacting with Rem. So not only does he think she should be dead he's really offended that she isn't. Not sure if there's some other reason or just her being alive shames him and makes him mad because Subaru could change fate and Al couldn't.
What if Echidna basically had Al do a simulation run of what Subaru was supposed to do later and he totally cocked it up? Magic is weird so maybe even a simulation of the far future could result in him getting tentacle raped by a time witch.
re zero sucks.
If Ecshitna died fighting Hector which Ecshitna died saving Al
Al did a run where he let Rem die for killing him for no reason without realizing that she's the best girl and the key to everything.Al is all the anons ITT who can't figure out how being an edgy boy and abusing RbD fucked them over into eternal failure.
if I was Subaru I would just have sex with everyone and then kill myself until the return point is mid-intercourse.
>>283513444>> Al does shit in Vollachia I guess idk I didn't read Arc 7 and 8
>>283513732Petra and Frederica taking turns in serving Subaru-Sama
>>283513667We don't know how activating Sanctuary worked. Roswaal says Volcanica killed Echidna by tearing out her soul and locking it in Sanctuary. There's some big mysteries hinging on when all the witches actually died. This stuff with Al has also indicated Echidna helped set the witches up to kill them and its not clear when in his timeline she died. At the very least he seems to have been created post-Betty because she muses about how Betty would be different if made like him.
who is we?im a metaphysical solipsist
>Because『the witch』protected Aldebaran, who was unable to win the battle he was supposed to win, and lost all of her limbs, leaving her in a miserable state, just waiting for death. Heh, Echidnugget. Maybe Sphinx was closer to her than she thought.

>>283513910It's so over
>>283514038>Arc 7 and 8 were shit because of Rem
Echidna did nothing wrong.
Petra is the most arousing girl of this series
>>283509499subaru is for rem exclusively
>>283511662noncanon, barusu doesn’t go after little girls
>>283513311It really isn't since Al appeared way before Subaru's arrival. Maybe Echidna just misunderstood the gospel.
>>283511662UOOOOOOOOOOOOHYOU GOT SOURCE FOR THIS? OR IS IT ai?
>>283513444> Al meets Ram in Arc 1, he already knows herAlso worth pointing out Al knew who she was but Ram had no idea who he was.
>>283515211That's because Al seems to be loaded with some amount of future knowledge. From his perspective they're probably like memories but they never ultimately happened.
>>283513668Didn’t read but basically, rem is the best yes?
>>283515428Yes. She trascends time and space to the point Echidna couldn't see her happening it seems.
>>283513878Which means Vollacanica may have mercy blasted her (or a copy of her soul) into the dream castle
>>283513370>>283511654Haven't started on the light novels but recently binged through the whole series and god I regret not watching S2 when it came out, it's so damn good. I love pretty much every character and the voice acting on everyones part is amaizing.
So if Rem is supposed to be dead, does that mean that If:Wrath is what the timeline "should" be?
>>283515492Rem is dead in some of the others, so probably not. Unless Al is into some kinky shit he doesn't seem to specifically have lived an Oboreru life.
Dramatic reenactment of Rem vs Yae.
>>283489822More like most retard side character of all time.Everything other than him keep this show intresting.
How many Echidnas are there at this point???Hector killed Roswaal's EchidnaSatella(? killed Aldebaran's EchidnaVincent & Friends killed SphinxOmega is on her way to Kararagi, probably to stop Aldebaran from killing Subaru for good
>>283515563
It seems Tappei will make Subaru marry both Rem and Emilia at this point.
>>283515683Volcanica killed Roswaal's Echidna. Hector was defeated.
>>283515711Well, Hector is Melancholy and Melancholy is Clind and Clind is Volcanica, basically the same
>>283515563Rem killed the pastas for le no reason...
>>283515734Clind isn't Melancholy, he has the box and the thing can be used externally.
>>283515534I guess she's presumably dead in If:Pride since Subaru never went to Roswaal's but I thought all the other Ifs were set after Rem got eaten?
>>283515492We will 100% get to see the Original Timeline™ once Tappei is done with Aldebaran's character arc.The Priscilla Camp are the only Royal Camp to be absent of every Sin What IF, so I'm really hoping we see them doing shit next year's what IF
>>283515492At least as far as Al's knowledge is concerned she was supposed to be dead or to not exist I guess.
>>283515778
>>283515683There's only Omegadona/Castledona and Scarfdona now.
>Rem broke the timelineThis is bad for Rem.
I want to break Rem...
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE SATELLA FOR THIS
>>283516656Deserved
>>283516656Shut up Roswaal.
>>283516656
>>283516899Speaking of that clown, do we know his opinion on Rem's continued existence? I forget if we saw his thoughts in the period between when Rem "should" have died and when her records were erased by Gluttony.
>>283517242
>>283517255Don't think she had much of an opinion on her one way or another.
>>283517255We haven't seen that much of Roswaal, I don't think we've gotten a real reaction out of him. Given that Rem is half of his oni super weapon its safe to say he wants Rem around.
It's Ram a pure maiden?
>>283517255>I forget if we saw his thoughts in the period between when Rem "should" have died and when her records were erased by GluttonyWe have, basically everything Rem does in the side stories and arc 3 is because Roswaal kind of accidentally encouraged her. I don't think he realized what he was doing since he seemed surprised by some of her excited reactions.
>>283517728Only in body.
>>283517911
>constantly bitching>constantly crying>has superpower that lets him rewind time whenever he dies. Doesn't abuse it because he is a pussy ass bitchYeah he fits the typical /a/ isekai fan to a T. It's the supporting cast that are unrealistic.
>>283518103>Doesn't abuse it because he is a pussy ass bitchThere isn't much to abuse other than just fixing shit.
>>283518103So what would you use it for and how would you activate it?
>>283518456NTA but I'd just immediately kill myself the very instant anything went wrong.>burned my eggs in the frying pan this morning?BLAM>someone bumped into me walking down the sidewalk? Beat them to death and thenBLAM>getting robbed in an alleyway?BLAM>return to alleyway robbery with a fucking machete in hand, they land a hit on meBLAM
>>283517746>>283517712So the book Echidna gave him telling him what the script should be doesn't match whatever she imbued Al with? What is her deal?
>>283518456I cast [Big Rock] above my head and die instantly
>>283518103Subaru always ends up dying when shit goes south anyway, what's the point of killing himself?
>>283518768Al is from or has knowledge of some failed state, it wouldn't necessarily be whatever the world thinks should happen, which is what Roswaal's gospel allegedly tells him.
If Aldebaran I is so good, why is there no Aldebaran II?
Nanahoshi is the most realistic Isekai character.
How many times do you think Aldebaran killed himself before he accepted that Priscilla's death couldn't be averted?
>>2835190310? He knows how his own ability works and that it couldn't be used the moment she told him she was dead.
I could never use RbD because I'd see it as killing everyone that currently exists to revert them to an earlier state. I'd never live the guilt of killing my mom down.
>>283517428you’re next, clown.
>>283519275Ram is going to turn him into a sex nugget?
>>283519192That's how Subaru sees it, more or less, that's why he doesn't want to have it happen if it doesn't have to.

>>283521137This is why Subaru is a much better character in the What Ifs where Tappei doesn't have to play by the standard goody two shoes mc rules
>>283521137>Ever since arc 1 he takes way too much time to realize he can respawnGee almost like it would be a really weird thing to assume happened when it happens once and you end up massively disoriented and all the memories are fucked because like some other authorities he needed to acclimate to it.If you had a weird sense of deja vu would you immediately be "I bet I came back from the dead I bet I'm immortal and can do that forever!!!!!1"
Until he meets Echidna he mentions several times that he's scared the power will run out, which is a completely fair assumption
I think Subaru is cute and deserves to be happy
>>283521943Fuck off, Satella. You stank.

So when does Satella give up on someone who knows the secret? Since she leaves Echidna and Al alone, and they're the prime people who would isolate/trap Subaru.

She only cares about Echidna talking about it but not knowing in her own head, the same probably extends to Al, but she takes offense to Petra. Maybe the book counted as someone talking about it or even just the memory of Subaru talking allowed it, but Al seemed to think any of Subaru's books would do it, it just happens to be one of significance to Petra herself.
>>283524521Echidna is dead and Al is Subaru, next question
correct me if i'm wrong but in Arc 4 Subaru and Roswaal talk about it perfectly fine without triggering Echidna just because Roswaal figured it out on his own but also he doesn't know what the exact trigger is
>>283524895I am acting the woman here, I was expecting you guys to read what I am referencing here without proper context.I think in Arc 7 there is a scene in the wn, where Subaru or Tappei comments on the innate differences between Subaru and the Re:Zero people. He shows this by commenting on how far Subaru sees compared to the Re:Zero people. He also hints this by showing how other characters feel pain (Rem handling her torture by Petelgeuse, Petra surviving Subaru's Book of the Dead), and in how other characters comprehend (Roswaal multi-casting, the swordsmen in general).TL;DR, I wasn't referencing the eyes, I was referencing a scene
>>283524970It's only if they know he has to die for it to activate. Not sure if it happens if they only speculate that to be the trigger.
Subaru, Garfiel, and Otto should have a threesome
>>283525060in a yuriful way
>>283525082(they're all crossdressing)
>>283525060
>>283496001>>283496126It's 1948, you, a buddhist monk, decide to travel the world.Don't forget to display your affiliation with your sick buddhist symbols on your clothes.Next stop - Israel!Or wear an off-season halloween ghost costume of the pointy hat variety in a black neighborhood.Did Rem do the right thing? Not really.Were her actions understandable? Yes.
>>283489822I can't last through this much crying and pathetic behavior. I don't know if it's realistic or not. It isn't for me.
>>283504889Nah, that's Emilia's and Subaru's son.He has his hair color and eyes but also her ears.
>>283524970Knowing he can loop isn't a problem. Knowing how he does it is because then he can be counteracted. Subaru can probably say a lot more about his ability than he does because he's traumatized by that one time he killed Emilia that way so he's overly cautious and barely touches on the topic. Like he'll make offhanded comments about future events that don't necessarily make sense to the people around him but nothing happens for him doing that. He could definitely lie and say he's a star chanter like Vincent assumed, though that might cause some problems because its not true and a this point his closer allies don't really need any excuse and have more implicit trust.
>>283495005Doesn't he get with Emilia in the second season? I don't understand why people keep saying she is playing hard to get or oblivious. She obviously has a thing for him in a innocent way. She's a pure maiden.
>>283525424
>>283525520>Doesn't he get with Emilia in the second season?Spotted the animeonly.
>>283524970If Roswaal knew it was from dying Satella would have come. Like >>283525378 said the problem is knowing how because then they will seal him like Al is doing. Also people like Roswaal would just default to killing Subaru if something he didn't like happened, making it really annoying to progress.
>>283525520No. From his end the kiss was a ploy to get her to shut up and stop being retarded and her later reveal of how little she knows combined with his now more grounded view of her is an enormous turn off. He still wants to be with her 'eventually' but he has no idea when she'd even be ready and also on his side he's hung up about Rem. By the 3rd season, a year later, their relationship has had no progress or even possibly stagnated as Felt comments they seem worse than before and they've never tried kissing or anything close since either.Then as a matter of the story Emilia cannot be with him anyway in any official sense as one of the rules of the selection is all candidates are virgins, they need to remain that way, and they can have no relationships while the selection is ongoing. The selection will last three years from when it was announced in S1 and about a year and a half has progressed since then, so the story would need to go that far and resolve the selection before anything is even actionable unless Emilia wants to quit.

>>283525162You already posted this, stupid
Aldebaran vs Tanza when
I hope al completes his mission and the series ends
>>283530645The humble Japan Arc:
IF anime when? why are they denying us kino.
>>283530750Kadokawa only has the rights of two IF stories.
>>283531987Yeah, and Rem IF is fucking boringIf I wanted to see Subaru having a SoL life I would read the side storiesI want to see Subaru being the eldritch abomination he is supposed to be
>>283503613Fuck outta here.
>>283532106Rem IF is kino, pure unfiltered dimes.
>>283529904It's the only thing they can post, you might say they're stuck in a loop, five loops mayhaps.
>>283503766> being able to do basic parkour shit with a whip after a year’s worth of practice is unrealisticSubaru lifted a boulder the size of his torso with a fucking whip.
>>283532106The Rem IF they have access to is the thing Rem being pregnant and they have to stop from getting killed by the god of death and a psycho oni.
>>283533604He's an anime character, did you not notice how he ran through a forest carrying another person for an extended period of time and then threw her dozens of feet away? Ram might be 5 foot nothing but she still easily weighs more than 100 pounds.
>>283530750just watch the slideshows on goytube
>>283533767> easily more than 100 poundsRam is 5 feet tall and has loli proportions, there is no way in hell she is over 100 pounds.
>>283534027As long as she isn't anorexic she should weight somewhere over/around 100 pounds. Which while she is anime thin with no tits, she still should be, especially because she's somewhat muscular so what she has is more dense.
>>283529354I hope she gets utterly humiliated like Reggie. Imagine Pandora crying, all beat up. Would be hot
>>283534137It would be funny if she has a bunch of false freak outs that she can reset.
>>283532106Rem IF would get lots of views, so it would be first or second
Rem did nothing wrong imagine some random man gets sent to your mansion and acts strange and foreign for the entire time.Not to even mention he smells like the equivalent of satan in your world. From that perspective subaru was suspicious as hell.
>>283501235Trial and error, showcasing the steps one takes to beat his enemy. You still watch the ending fight of series even when you know the protagonist won’t lose.

I find the people who have problems with Subaru fascinating because it's almost all for the same reasons. Either: he doesn't efficiently use RBD, he cries and whines A LOT, "lack" of character development, or some variation of these like "he's just generally retarded"Looking at it from the perspective of Subaru being a realistic human MC I absolutely think he's one of if not the best representation. He's not a fantasy, he's not out to conquer the world, make a name for himself, have a harem, or play the "meta" of the Rezero world and his own abilities. Do people really find it hard to believe a man just wants what's best for himself and his loved ones?Moreover it's taken some of you 10+ years to reach the mental/emotional state you're in. Subaru should reach it in a mere 1 or 2? Call me a fag but Subaru is a breathe of fresh air in a world of aura-farming and blatant power fetish main characterstl;dr - Tappei is unironically Japan's best isekai writer
>>283536674I just think he talks like a fag.
>>283534137>>283535876you guys don’t want another daughter in subaru’s collection?
>>283536776Subaru needs her Witch Factor to open The Door™, she won't be a daughter.
>a have a phone>don't make use of itSome guild of engineers would buy or exchange such an artifact for a lot of money or powerful and more useful for non specialist itemBesides, the clothing itself would be valuable as an artifact from another world, made with otherworldly technology
>>283537261What about that time he used the alarm function Or all the times he took photos of the Emilia camp in the side stories of Arc 2?
>>283536738And his shits all retarded.
>>283537261What? He uses the phone for as long as he had it. He flashbanged people with it in arc 1, used it as a bargaining chip to try and get the touchstone back, using the clock and alarm he tracked the whale. What do you want him to do with it? It obviously doesn't work as a phone there's nobody to call and there's no satellites for that to work either. He also can't recharge it which is why he sold it as part of the deal with Anastasia in arc 3 and it was given to Russel Fellow (who might or might not be mad when it runs out of power shortly after he gets it)
>>283537229Pandora's witch factor probably doesn't matter for the door.
>>283537427I just want Spica to live, man, let me dream...
>>283532747Main Story Rem would have never allowed Subaru to give upWe are supposed to believe that Rem would be willing to leave Roswaal and Ram forever when it is painfully obvious that Subaru knows something horrible will happen in the manor, which is a retarded take of her character to anyone that actually read the source materialWe are supposed to believe that Subaru would live a happy, peaceful life after leaving Emilia, Roswaal, Beatrice, Ram, Crusch, Felix, Wilhelm and the entirety of Arlam Village to die in horrible ways because he is way too incompetent to abuse his Authority to save the day like he is supposed toCalling that shit fanfic Rem IF feels disrespectful to the main story, and the only thing it demonstrated is that Petelgeuse was 100% right, Subaru is a slothful piece of shit and the only reason he didn't indulge in his own laziness for the rest of his miserable life is because Rem wasn't retarded enough to follow his plan to leave everyone they ever knew to die
>>283537427The doors, you mean. WN arc 7 had Otto yapping as though he saw Rui’s actual form, so I expect any future visits to that passage to change it to a sequence of doors like in the LN.
>>283538176Rem doesn't really care about Roswaal and obviously Ram was a major loss but Emilia is dead forever so it's kinda balances out.
>>283538176>We are supposed to believe that Subaru would live a happy, peaceful life after leaving Emilia, Roswaal, Beatrice, Ram, Crusch, Felix, Wilhelm and the entirety of Arlam Village to die in horrible waysYes, fuck em
>>283538363>Rem doesn't really care about Roswaal She does, but its for sort of weird reasons of gratitude and allegiance that she takes seriously and not personal affinity.
>>283538410>Yes, fuck RemFTFY
>>283538505Because Ram is dead. Also the advertisers bro...
You bastards got me onto wheel of time and now I have to deal with easily one of the worst fan bases I've ever fucking seen and around of the 2 million words Ive read so far only like 700,000 I've actually cared about. But I care too much about those characters and plots to drop it. Fuck you guys.
>>283538410Beatrice and Petra did nothing wrong, kill yourself

>>283538465run to the hills
>>283519784This triggered some people
>>283525315>Were her actions understandable?No, not really
>>283541041Yeah, I can't say I think Emilia is cute without having people calling me names, I'm already used to it.
>>283541831Remfags have spent literal years convincing themselves they're right about everything.You can't have a reasonable discussion with them, and they're so far gone they refuse to even admit that what they've done may have clouded their judgement.
Echidna is actually the best most selfless rezero character
>Echidna is actually the bestEveryone knows this
>>283542065Wdym, she literally says that she is an evil witch multiple times, she has to be evil
shes not evil
>>283542146She's just using Subaru's pedestrian understanding of morality because she's compassionate, empathetic and communicative
>>283542164Why are her boobas pointy?
>>283542045They were bullied for a year or so after Subaru said he loves Emilia, and they decided to bully anyone that doesn't think Rem is Best Girl Ever™ for the rest of their lives
>>283542479So you're saying they're traumatized.
>>283542164literally. witches are not malevolent, their morality just works completely different.is it still worth to try and kill them on sight? yes.they may be not malevolent, but they are different enough that you shouldn't have to have to endure their continued existence.
>>283542164They're both just misunderstood.
>>283542885isn’t reggie a forever seething soul
i hope felix gets permanent amnesia
>>283541148Wow, you're dumber than Subaru, that's impressive.
>>283542045>and they're so far gone they refuse to even admit that what they've doneSounds like you retard Emiliafags. Literally made up shit about the story for fucking years and screeched when anyone proved you obviously wrong.
>>283542885>bothDon't try to slander Dona by pairing her up with that RAT
>>283542479>bulliedJust called MC a faggot for his retarded response. Emiliafags throwing tantrums at people who liked a likable girl have always been more "bullied"
>>283542885I would let myself be manipulated by Echidna or manhandled by Regulus any day.
>>283544333Ano sa, what did you just call him? These are trips of LIES!
>>283539906How does she even have that haircutI've never seen this girl with a hair brush or rolls or a hair dryer or nuthing related to beauty
>>283544753She can change her hair and clothes back to default appearance using mana
>>283542164Witches are evil, don't fall for their lies.
>>283542885Echidna thinks she's very smart but only has book knowledge of things and Regulus is an entitled retard.
>>283545330> Only has book knowledgeSaid book knowledge comes from an omniscient magical book btw
>>283525707Oh, so he actually does recognize and is put off by how stunted Emilia is mentally and/or emotionally? I hadn't gotten that far and was starting to get worried.Really, neither one of them is even close to ready for a presumed permanent relationship with anyone, and particularly not with each other, especially if storybook logic won't intervene.But at the same time, neither can handle the other dating around if that's even a thing in that world.
>>283524019Speaking of dead Emilias, are there any outside of Sloth and Gluttony, aka Ifs where Subaru has avoided looping? Seeing as she has some weird connection to Satella, I have a hunch that she's the only Essential NPC in Lugunica in that Satella will never "lock in" her death but wasn't sure if there's contradictory evidence
>>283544333
>>283546544I liked his reaction when Pete started tossing him around.
>>283544900>it's magic I ain't gotta explain shit
>>283545694> SlothAccording to Tappei, Subaru's checkpoint hasn't been updated in the entirety of Sloth IF, so there is a non zero chance that he will go all the way back to in Arc 3 when he dies of old age.> GluttonyWe don't know anything about Subaru's last checkpoint, for all we know, Subaru goes back to right after having his memories eaten in the Tower every time he diesIn canon, there has never been a checkpoint explicitly set after Emilia's death, and we also have to keep in mind that Emilia has been the only person that has been killed as punishment for Subaru TRYING to break the taboo, so we know that Emilia's existence has something that makes her different to the rest of the retards in the world regarding the use of Return by Death
>>283546706Listen, if we could make statues out of literally condensed light, we wouldn't be wondering how it doesn't fall into itself, since it's, you know, just light given a physical form.
>>283546963Supposedly in Sloth he'll die of old age.
>>283546963Pretty sure in Sloth IF it wasn’t actually confirmed that he will reset back, it’s just speculated since he never died on that route. He won’t return if he dies happy, like in Pride IF.
>>283545413>Oh, so he actually does recognize and is put off by how stunted Emilia is mentally and/or emotionally? I hadn't gotten that far and was starting to get worried.It was glossed over in the anime and Felt's commenting on it in S3 was removed. Can't remember if they put it into a re petit or not. The whole romantic angle is overall just cut down in the anime, technically it hasn't paid off, but you would assume its important so you would want it. The anime seems content with saving time and just floating this idea that Emilia is the uncontested main girl and there aren't any issues though, which is weird.
>>283545694Subaru loops in Gluttony, you just don't see him do it because its not relevant, but Tappei has said he can/does. Its part of the tragedy of that IF because even if his plan did work and he could restore [Natsuki Subaru] the power he thinks Subaru could have to fix everything wouldn't work.
>>283547323Its more like dies with no regrets/accepts dying. He theoretically won't loop in Sloth when he dies of old age because he'll be happy/satisfied. He doesn't go back in Pride because he felt like he accomplished his task. He doesn't go back in Wrath because he felt like he deserved it.
>>283546963>and we also have to keep in mind that Emilia has been the only person that has been killed as punishment for Subaru TRYING to break the tabooThat's not true. In response to him breaking the taboo in arc 4 she kills everyone as punishment except Emilia. She even was going to go over to the mansion to kill Rem/Petra/Frederica and Subaru has to intercept her.
>>283547580> He theoretically won't loop in Sloth when he dies of old age because he'll be happy/satisfiedThat would imply that Subaru feels 100% satisfied with the fact that he left everyone he knew to die.
>>283547625Based
>>283547625He would feel 100% satisfied because he lived a happy life with Rem and preserved the Oni race.
>>283545694Sloth - Emilia is dead but Subaru never uses RbDGreed - Emilia is mindfucked and Subaru does use RbDWrath - Emilia is alive and Subaru uses RbD. It is possible that Emilia killed herself after seeing Subaru dead, but this is just random musings said later and not part of the story.Pride - Emilia is alive and Subaru uses RbDGluttony - Emilia is dead and Subaru theoretically does use RbD sometimes but likewise comes from random commentary and isn't part of the storyAganau - Emilia is dead and Subaru does loop but explicitly goes back to his arc 3 checkpoint before she died.Azamuku - Emilia is alive and Subaru uses RbDSo really nothing strongly or directly contradicts your theory at the moment, with only potentially extra information about Tsugihagu being the only thing that does.
>>283547614That's pretty different. In that scenario, Subaru was allowed to talk about Return by Death because Satella couldn't reach him in Echidna's Dream CastleI'm talking about all the times he tried to tell people future events or tried to talk about Return by DeathWhenever Subaru tries to break the taboo, the Witch crushes his heart and increases his miasma, the only time that didn't happen was when Subaru tried to reveal Return by Death to Emilia in Arc 3 and Satella just killed him for shits and giggles
>>283547755killed her* for shits and giggles
>>283547625Yep, fuck those shitters that died 60+ years ago.>>283547668If he was really based he would go back just so he could fuck Rem in her prime again but using all the moves he learned/knowing her weaknesses after a lifetime of marital bliss.What was that silly thing about Remmier Rems people joked about that one time?
>>283547755He wasn't allowed to talk about it. She just couldn't do her usual threat.> the only time that didn't happen was when Subaru tried to reveal Return by Death to Emilia in Arc 3 No, she did it then, he just ignored her that time and pushed through. The only time she couldn't do it was in the dream castle due to being prevented from entering. But the taboo still applies just the same regardless of if she can bonk him to hint to knock it off or not. That's a courtesy thing, not part of the taboo.
>>283547842> he just ignored her that time and pushed throughSatella barely touches Subaru's heart and then goes straight for the kill instead of the usual "teehee I'll crush your heart, I'll really do it" shit she always does, and this is literally the only time in the series someone dies because of the INTENTION of revealing Return by Death.This happens both in the LN and in the anime
>>283547808>What was that silly thing about Remmier Rems people joked about that one time?>Really Rem is maybe the bigger issue if she feels he's fucking someone else vicariously through her, even if in reality that someone else is just her.>Rem picks up on things Subaru seems to want her to do that aren't ticks from Emilia, but some unknown woman>Really she's jealous that Subaru really just loves her>Each life she becomes an even Remier Rem always trying to match some unknown Rem she thinks she doesn't live up to
>>283548010>Satella barely touches Subaru's heartWhich means she still did. She was doing it, she can just tell he was determined so she changed up what she was doing. The only time she never gets to threaten him is when she can't and then she kills everyone else except Emilia instead.
>>283489822>The only way to get a Re:zero thread to bump limit is to repeat the same topic 50 times over. I kind of miss 2016.

>>283548882Who will voice Shaula?
>>283547545Alright that's solid counter-evidence, since I can't wrap my head around Glutbaru having the emotional fortitude to repeatedly kill the same allies, nor the motivation if he had already read their memories and concluded they didn't know the missing piece towards understanding "Natsuki Subaru"....also what the fuck happened to actual Gluttony in that IF? Did their Gospels clue them in that shit was no longer Canon, so they just.. fucked off? I don't think Shaula could beat all three.
>>283548942At that point in time, Roy and Lye knew about Return by Death, so they probably noticed that Subaru lost his shit and ran for their lives
>>283548942In theory just left since Subaru is actually "Rui" living her supposed best life. They don't have much reason to mess with him. After he kills someone or a lot of someones he would have to go back to the tower to get the books, so there'd reasonably be no way he could reset after checking if they know something or not since it takes a fair amount of time to go back and forth and he would be safe at various points along the way.
