What was the most impactful moment for Subaru that resonated with you? Join the Comet Bucket: discord.gg/TCS5aDTawh Subaru can still smile after all those brutal deaths. Not just RBD, but seeing others being killed or maimed.
@@TapaniLastellar definitely him talking to Echidna. To finnaly have someone you can talk to. Its like having the weight of the world lifted of your shoulder
In arc 7 he was trapped in a 10 sec death loop ... He dies goes back 10 sec before death ... His suffering was too horrific for me to imagine... Later when he was fighting todd fang before re setting return by death and uses his authority of sloth... embracing the darkness to save his friends..it was very impactful for me
The beauty of Subaru is that he's not just some self-insert MC who is given a ton of generic 'cool' traits, has very few character flaws and quirks, and has no personality beyond being generically 'nice'. Subaru is a flawed character, and more importantly, his flaws aren't used as gags, but have legitimate impact on the story in different ways. On one hand, he's willing to literally die for the people he cares about, and goes through immense suffering simply to help others. He's extremely tenacious, and won't give up just because things are hard. He's funny and witty, in a way that makes him a lot of friends and allies, even out of people who are supposed to be his rivals. On the other hand, he's stubborn to a fault, and that combined with his pride causes him to butt heads with others (especially in earlier arcs), and he absolutely loathes himself. He also has a bunch of quirks, such as being a fiend for mayonnaise, narrating his own thoughts, calling other people strange nicknames that nobody else understands, cuts himself, and has a hobby of occasionally cross-dressing. His good, bad, and strange traits aren't contradictory, they're all manifestations of who he is as a person. He's stubborn because he cares, he's willing to die for others because he hates himself, he keeps dying for others because he's stubborn, he makes friends easily because he's an interesting person who cares about others, but part of what makes him interesting is that he has so many strange personality quirks which readers may not like about him. He's an actual person; a 'real' character- not some cardboard cutout of a person that's got all the good things that surveys and marketing says that readers like. And that's a very rare thing (especially these days), which is what makes Subaru so great.
Subaru is a hero, he inspires me to be greater than I am. I was weak and pathetic, I hated myself and didn't value life, but now everything changed. I have hope and love for humanity. I help those I care about and I am aiming to become a teacher to spread the hope and care for others.
I love when he immediately goes to end himself when he realizes rem lost her memories and when he goes back it doesn't go back far enough it makes him finally know that he cant use it whenever and sometimes things will happen which makes rems words make it that much better (700th subscriber)
Subaru genuanly is my favorite character in fiction I always want more of him I litereally can't get enough he is the true definition of a hero for me and he makes me live every day to my best.
I find him attractive too ... I didn't at first but his personality is quite romantic and his open with his feelings... And honestly what girl wouldn't fall for a guy that is always saving her making sure she's safe ❤️❤️ kinda hard not to fall for this 2d character!
Well, there's a reason why Satella, the Witch of Envy (Who is the equivalent of the Devil in Re:Zero World), fall in love with him. So yes, he's a romantic person.
I think u can say that rezero is isekai version of steins gate Idk which one came first but I watched rezero then I watched steins gate 4 years ago and I was like Wait a minute I've seen this before but the one getting killed is not mc but everyone around him These two anime is like two pills Red pill - u die u reset Blue pill - everyone else die u reset
@@kimihikokimizuka2165the main difference is that Okabe can tell others what's gonna happen, Subaru can't and on top of that he gets all the physical and mental pain of everyone dying and himself dying. Both are goats and Steins;Gate is definitely in my top 5. Re:Zero is my #1 tho My top 5: 1. Re:Zero 2. One Piece 3. Steins;Gate 4. D.Gray-man 5. Clannad + After story
This is what make subaru’s story so good to me, despite all the suffering, at it’s core, it’s really hopeful. It’s not a story about despair. Rather, it’s a story about how a man whose only ability is not giving up, finds hope even after being cornered from all sides. A redemption story done right. No matter how many times the story beats subaru down, there will always be that light at the end of the tunnel.
@@TapaniLastellar There are so many things i had no one to talk to about. I felt connected to Subaru on this. Eventhough there is no curse that grasps my heart when i try to speak, there might as well be.
Return by death pretty fit with Subaru character the seven deadly sin that Subaru struggled the most is pride that power is a double edged sword that teaches Subaru the importance of being humbled.
@@kimihikokimizuka2165 He doesn't know which door is the right one, he just has a vague feeling because of his high spirit affinity. Also, the unseen hands have nothing to do with yin magic.
For me personally my favourite Subaru moments were when he tells Echidna about return by death, and the second is when he breaks down infront of all the witches in season 2
If i was Subaru I would have fell off my rocker 30 deaths ago! I feel so sorry for him... It is amazing how he can keep his composer. I wonder if it will last and how long he will have to keep doing it.
Characters like suberu are a genuine inspiration for indie series animators like myself, because I like to use some characteristics I find to improve my own lores, and also I SERIOUSLY fw Re:Zero
Wait.. what proposal of Rem's did Subaru turn down? Wasn't it Rem who turned down Subaru's proposal to run away? At the end, they only joke that Rem confessing her love while Subaru responded that he loves Emilia makes them even since Rem turned down Subaru's offer to run away with him.
I think its worth mentioning Rika from Higurashi in this case. Re zero draws heavy inspiration from Ryukishi's works, specifically Higurashi and Umineko. I guess you could call Rika a blueprint of Subaru in a way? Subaru can't say anything about his ability to others. While on the other hand, Rika tries to save everyone but is incapable of changing her fate.
Mhm good catch Rika also endured a similar return by death. I don't know how many Re:Zero fans follow Higurashi so the most I would've done is give a statement or two. I would possibly make separate videos about Higurashi.
True immortality is 100% a curse and it's not even a question. It doesn't stop pain or injury, it simply prevents you from dying. (Subaru by extension does not have immortality, but time reversal and rebirth. He still dies, he just starts again.) True immortals will end up alone, frozen for eternity by the heat death of the universe. They may lose limbs, or even their entire bodies, imagine falling into a shredder but whatever largest part of you remains intact is capable of thinking and feeling everything, the loss of all your senses, of your body, and yet you persist in thought alone, trapped within whatever space is called Consciousness. And even if you are one of the lucky ones to also have invulnerability, what about your loved ones? You still end up alone. And you can not ever change that inevitability, no matter how much you try. Being alone, with nothing to ever again do or feel or taste or see. That is the fate of every true immortal.
I chose rebirth instead of reincarnation because reincarnation typically does not include the transfer of one's memories, and simply their soul (look at Buddhist beliefs for that, some even suggest we are all the same person reincarnated over and over again until we finally attain enlightenment, but I am yet to have the memories of any of your lives save for Jim Bob the Caveman)
@@xselinisx Your eternity would be nothing but the cold and dark, at a certain point you would be unable to even move. So you're blind, immobile, cold, deaf, and only with your own thoughts to accompany you for the rest of time. If you want that, you are insane, or deeply masochistic to the point of being insane regardless.
Ngl, after watching so many ReZero videos, this felt like only recap with little else and didn't do it for me lol 😅 sorry for being harsh, I just feel tiny bit clickbaited 🙃 I didn't get the feeling you understood/explained any aspect of ReZero particulary profoundly, though granted with so little time to cover 52+ dense episodes, it could have been just the problem of the format. You at least understand the story better than 99% of the react channels 😄 so respect for that, please continue with your ReZero coverage that's always appreciated, anyway I really recommend NearlyOnRed's 3 hour video, Reactionists WHDAAA fanfic or Vyazov23's Watching Arc 4 in The Theater of Despair fanfic for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the story, they really understand the story on next level and made me realize things I didn't notice before about Subaru and various other aspects of the story, fascinating content. (Skip ahead to WHDAAA fic part with the Subaru/Emilia argument to see what I mean more quickly, never before have I seen that scene explained in a better way)

Arc 1: Only a day passes, no time to train Arc 2: Only a week passes, learns about magic but is a novice and damages his Gate right away After Arc 2 about a month passes, could learn something but wouldn't get really far. Arc 3, was about a week and while he did try and train, his heart wasn't really into + was a race against time Not enough time passes between Arc 3 & Arc 4 for him to be able to train. Arc 4: Happens over the course of a few days and has a dude who has a magic book that guides him to his wincon. Between Arc 4 & 5 he has a year and he finally gets time to properly train.

This character genuinely inspired me to strive to do more and helping others with a strong mindset.
Subaru never disappoints with his mindset 🙏
But i dont understand why he likes Emilia.. From the start? Why did he work so hard to save her?
@@vikasreddy3603didn’t she save him at the start in the alleyway
@@vikasreddy3603For the simple fact that Emilia was the first person to be kind to him in a long time.

I will never get over the fact that Subaru kept choosing the right door to enter Beatrix' library.
He is a shadow/dark element user he can see the illusion of door crossing just like how he can see unseen hands
