A little detail I didn't explain in the video: Pandemonium was able to disturb the connection between divine protections and their users, so the building itself weakened Reinhard significantly, basically "nerfing" him.
@@theresiavanastrea3132 It didn't collapse completely so I don't think so, but if he had just fought Cecilus outside the building it probably would've been a lot easier to defeat him
You better pin this comment so everyone could see it. PS: great video, I didn't understand alot of details since the eng translation were a bit confusing but your video made things more clear for me.
@@couthic If Subaru manages to learn ''Ul Shamak'' which he could do, as stated in the LN, he could totally beat Reinhardt or any opponent for that matter, in a 1v1 scenario, as he could just cast off his opponent's mind to a place where they could not hear their own thoughts
Ai Man yeah right so they can waste our money in western themed sjw animes like Crunchyroll did. No thank you I’ll support the industry by buying merchandise and physical copies not paying streaming services.
Takuya 42069 well. Just for 2018 crunchyrolls paid $100 million for anime royalties. To me that pretty a lot and of course encourage anime authors to make more. Of course i buy those overpriced megumin pillows too
This reminds me of the feeling when you pick some random choice in a telltale game and the characters take it out of context and you end up slaughtering an entire neighborhood instead of saying 'I disagree.'
Beatrice : "are you that person?" Subaru not knowing what she means aswers : "yes, yes I am" I really like that part, knowing that Beatrice died thinking she achieved her goal is very wholesome to me in a weird way
@@blade2453 Echidna (The Witch of Greed) put a curse on Beatrice, confining her to Roswaal's mansion, until the right person showed up to break the curse. Problem is, there was never a "right person", to begin with. Echidna made it so any person Beatrice chose as "the one", would end up breaking the curse. Therefore she would sit in the Roswaal library, waiting for eternity. Another way to break the curse, is to be killed, which is why Beatrice is so happy, when Subaru stabs her.
"if Reinhardt fought the sun, Reinhardt would win" I'm just imagining Reinhardt waking up from a nap realizing he got sunburned and yelling something along the lines of "it's on asshole!"
The Wrath route makes sense. When the maid killed him so many times, i was so mad. She murdered him brutally just because he seemed shady. They could have just captured and questioned him. The world is lucky MC is so patient.
Indeed I think a normal person would have just fled the mansion never to return again, but the wrath path is also plausible Actually wanting to save them even still...It requires a saint or someone who doesn't value his own life.He is a bit of both(flaws notwithstanding) That said there was one thing that tipped him towards forgiving them in cannon: in that loop, or the second one I don't remember well, Rem and Ram did held his hands as he was having nightmares about dying in his sleep(since that s how he died the first time).It did calm his nightmare.The fact that they did so even for a stranger that was kinda sus is what made him see they could be good in better circumstances But yeah...they should stop going to murder as the first solution
Honestly , almost everyone had wronged Subaru in one way or another, and he still tried to understand and save them. Ram and Rem brutally murdered him multiple times. Puck murdered him before destroying the world. Roswaal comissioned everyone to be killed. Garfiel killed the civilians in the sanctuary and Otto in front of his eyes. Even Otto abandoned him that one time (he more than made up for it tho) Main route Subaru is a fucking saint
@dfsad Would you say that post arc 4 Subaru is still immature. We are talking about the mental state of a 17 year old boy here. It doesnt matter what intentions the maids, the bitc*, the clown or the brat had, all of that was more than enough to break someone's mind completely. I would not say Subaru is a saint, but he's a human, weak physically and emotionally, but one of a very strong will which was enforced by his allies(Rem S1, Otto and Witches S2). And his 'selifish and greedy desires to save everyone'. No, I dont think he fell for Emila so hard on one sight, it must have a reason that will be known in the later arcs.
To be honest, Otto's reasons were the only defendable ones, he didnt threw out Subaru because he was scared that he would die, he actually went insane due to his divine protection(the whale was screeching at him to release Subaru). Insanity is something that removes all faults(if Rem killed Subaru during her crazed demonic state, it would be also due to insanity, the same goes for the failed loop where Garfiel killed everyone, the same goes for Petelguese, they were simply insane) Aside from that all reasons for killing someone are invalid and demented. I do not mean to be disrespectful but if you have even a bit of understanding towards that cat or sincerely believe that he is not at fault then fuc* you and that cat lol.
His existence is suffering, even in the main 'virtue' arc he suffers constantly. His smile is generally false, he puts it on to put others at ease, ironically Emilia can tell it's fake, but the fact he tries puts her at ease anyway.
I think these are great examples of why Subaru is such a great character because basically, if he wants something, he gets it. Even if Return by Death is a tool in this, no doubt Subaru still plays a heavy influence in his own actions. He could become the greatest villain of the story, in multiple different ways, and so I think he can also be the greatest hero. It’s insane really.
ivan vukovic he can get power by taking the easy route and succumbing to the sins, but that power is for bad. Or he can stick to the 7 heavenly virtues, whichll take way longer, but he’ll gain power for good
Reinhardt is god levels of broken. He can pretty much revive if hes killed. Only way he can die is if another successor is born and hes stripped of his divine blessings.
@@daraam02 nope he's not that godly even with his divine blessing than u think he would've died by regulus if subaru didn't help him, and + Every divine protection has a cooldown/penalty to fullfil the requirdment like Divine Protection of Wind Evasion that patrasche use has a cooldown, Divine protection of Phoenix that reinhard has can only be used *Once* he already used it on regulus so he can't use it anymore, and also he can only negate 80% of all magic attack not 100% so it's possible for him to die, so yeah escanor would have a very high chance of winning if he were to 1v1 with reinhard
According to the author here's what happened to the characters after the end: Cecilus: lost the fight with reinhard, had both of his swords broken and fled. Frederica & Halibel: Both survived and fled. Frederica was reunited with her family. Puck: Killed by reinhard. Reinhard: As mentioned earlier, kills puck and survives with heavy wounds(all of which incompacitates him for no longer than a short period of time after he leaves the pandemonium) Subaru: Lets Ram finally strangle him to death. Dies a permanent death and joins satella in the dark realm Emilia: She either 1) Survives and tries to kill Ram as revenge, or 2) Commits suicide, following after Subaru. Edit: even if she does survive(Emilia), she is completely useless as she dropped out as a candidate and has become a heavily dependent person. She is no longer able to make her own decisions and doesn't have a goal, being hopeless and impactless, as well as the fact that she no longer has puck.
@@nucleargamez5693 He essentially kept her alive in secret. In the beginning, the reason why she collapsed without being able to kill subaru was because she was mana deficient. Subaru eventually realizes this and starts collecting massive amounts of magic stones in order to sustain ram. When the seige began, it began with a merchant offering magic stones to subaru, and this was the disguise that reinhard infiltrated the pandemonoum with, hiding within the pile of magic stones. And a detail not mentioned in the video was that when Frederica enters his room to bring him his meal(this was when he was flipping the coin to decide if he wants to kill her family or not), she thinks to herself about why he always ordered food enough for 2 people. The reason was because he was keeping ram alive in a secret room that can be accessed by only him.

@@Genji-Agito Pandemonium "messes with" divine protections, so Reinhard was weakened a bit by the building itself. That, combined with Cecilus' incredible swordsmanship, was enough to give Reinhard a hard time

@titanus261 witchculttranslations (something like that) the IF stories are futures that would have resulted from Subaru making different choices for example the greed IF centers around accepting Echidnas offer
If I remember correctly, Subaru's trust issues are so bad he has trouble sleeping peacefully to the point when the only time he can get a normal sleep only with Emilia and Puck nearby and noone else. That's why he has these huge bags under his eyes.
Actually, it's still the same in the real timeline. It's not like he doesn't trust his friends, but he has gathered so much trauma and PTSD, tht he just can't sleep without having nightmares. He is still having nightmares about being mutilated by rem and is always sitting in the corner of his dark room to cut himself and perform self harm. Beatrice is the only one who knows about this, because she heals his body everytime he cuts it. It's truly a tragedy
@@2-dsynctium773 it's one of those "with great strength comes greater responsibilities". He has inhuman powers but with it comes the question whether he is human at all, Reinhardt is a character who is good natured just because it's the right way.
Update: In order to have more people see what I've learned. I will post the comment here. "Violence might not be the main destroyer in life but it still harms many. It can destroy humanity, it can destroy trust. It can twist a person’s view on life. Use violence as a last resort, it will make you a better person."
It's only out in JP right now, but there is a official mobile game that has an entirely new story and plays (better than) a TellTale game. An example of how it can be different is that Subaru can meet Julius instead of Reinhardt at the start.
@@venor2612 The mobile game I was talking about is called "Re:Zero Lost in Memories", but another game is coming to the Switch, PS4, and PC called "Prophecy of the Throne"

@@turtlenuggs5677 Yeah he would have died because then he would have nothing left. If he did destroyed the world, it would take away his powers anyway.

I am terrible at reading and so its taking me forever, giving me migranes. I might have to resort to finding spoilers. Anyway, I think I am over thinking things...
Echidnut: Cecilus is the strongest charecter in re: zero Reinhart: am i a joke to you? But no seriously Reinhart's power pretty much is a sadistic joke
He’s like a deus ex machina on steroids. And you know, I understand that the author was trying to create a Foil to Subaru’s character ( both are hero’s with technically overpowered characteristic but one needs the help of others while the other needs no help from others) but Reinhard is honesty too ridiculous. Like, for how well-balanced even the most powerful characters are in Re:zero, Reinhard is a completely ridiculous anomaly. I am going to be critical here and say personally say that the author did a bad job in making him SOO overpowered because it really removes any absolute tension once Reinhard is able to step into the situation and one-shot any person he wants.
2DS ah, you mean the greed guy? I haven’t read the part where Subaru fights him yet so I am interested. Honesty, I sounds odd, but how many characters in Rezero do you think could be tanking out using conventional weapons? (Like guns, aircraft, bombs, mines, tanks, mortars, howitzers, etc.)
@Deidaroko [No Anime No Life] if Reinhard left his world his blessing would not follow. The way I see it, Reinhard is a Mr Smith[matrix like AI]. If his blessing are tide directly to od Logna then it would he like playing 4d chess against a supercomputer
Here's a crazy theory about the cliffhanger Subaru doesn't die a permanent death but keeps going back to Ram because since Emilia's colour is probably gone forever to him, the insane Subaru keeps returning to Ram and dying just to see colour again.
Brandon Swerdlow I dont think so since his one moment of trust and reassurance was with ram he would just keep respawning there amd emilia would be gone
This is the Wrath route, so no, he doesn't have the authority of Pride to use RbD. It's explicitly stated that he, to a VERY limited degree (as always, no matter whether we're talking about the main story or these AU stories), has control over this story's eponymous authority. Since he's deeply incompatible with it (again, as always whenever he gets an authority), he can only use a tiny fraction of its power - in this case to see some peoples' emotions and better understand them, a reference to Sirius' version of Wrath in Pri(e)stella.

It's just funny that all of the stories problems would be solved by just dropping Reinhard into the situation. Why they don't have this guy on speed dial to deal with the witches cult is beyond me. It's not like he could leave the country anyways. Regardless even here in this whatif scenario he's clearly the biggest flaw in the Re:Zero universe by far.
He's not just a nuke, that man is the Nuke, the Navy, the Airforce, and the Army all in one, and even that's not enough. He could conquer the entire planet if he wanted to and kill all of the witches cult members solo. The only person he's tied with is Satella. The nobility in Re: are dumb. There should be an international counsel created just to send him to go kill witches cult members, especially after they wiped that country off the map.

You know, listening to this story and remembering the Pride if made me realize how much of a plot point alternate Subarus could be in Re: Zero. If for some reason "Return by Death" allowed Subaru to see some of the paths he didn't take (even for just a few seconds) or he met with the Council of Sin Subarus in the "death void", he would put into perspective a lot of his choices, learn a lot about himself AND about the characters around him.
Well in arc 4 he didnt see his alternate routes but he saw what happens after his death. Like whenever he died and returned by death he saw how that story continued.
Reinhardt has the blessing pheonix which allows him to resurrect when he died, just once tho. He also has another bless which lets him choose a blessing so when he dies he can just get the blessing of pheonix again. So yeah, he is immortal Unless you kill him before he gets the blessing of the pheonix again... which is basically impossible
Drop him into magma or acid or the ocean and watch him drown in those liquids/masses, doesn't matter if his blessings can unfuck his body, it'll just instantly re-fuck (or he'll drown in the water before he can resurface, forever)
@9dragonkings Nope read the translations on the author's special interview for Reinhard's birthday. He stated that once Reinhard uses the blessing of the phoenix, he can ask for another one as much as he wants. Also the author stated in that interview as well that the blessings he wishes for doesn't have to already exist in the re:zero world. Od Lagna can make him any blessing he wants and it doesn't have to be a pre-existing one. I'll try to find the translation for you hold on.
He dies a final death in my opinion, to answer your question. Lol his wrath route was way more successful than his pride route but also has it worse than his pride counterpart as he could've killed Reinhart by having emilia, the shadow ninja, cecilus, and puck fight Reinhart at the same time and then there would be no one to stand in his way. But damn not being able to see color and having debilitating trust issues would suck so much. In the pride route he couldn't find a way to kill or even injure Reinhart and just decided to ruin his reputation, but at least he found a way to complete his goal of securing the throne for Emilia by having her kill him.
He can see colour, the “black and white” stuff is just a way of describing Subaru’s mental state where seeing someone in “black and white” means it’s someone who he feels he can’t trust due to his extreme trust issues
I think Reinhard would have won even if you put all of them against him and in my opinion the pride route was more successful as he actually achieved his goal of securing the throne for Emilia. In this one he ended up dying all for nothing with even pushing away, Emilia. Though for me this route was just so much cooler and better than the pride route.
@@laughingcrows4661 Reinhart seemed really weak after fighting cecilus and Emilia was still alive after confronting Reinhart with Puck. So I just assumed they were able to handle a injured and tired Reinhart. But reading more into it Cecilus probably would have not fought with backup since he wanted to take out reinhart by himself.
BTW I’m pretty sure Emilia just left Puck to deal with Reinhard. Which I’m like 99% sure that Reinhard still beat Puck considering in the Sloth if story the world didn’t end when Puck should have ended it. My guess being that Reinhard killed Puck to stop him. So Puck was basically only able to stall him. With all that in mind I doubt them coming all together would be enough to beat him. He’s just too OP to defeat him without removing his blessings, spirits, etc.
@@agg5324 Because it's depressing af. The guy probably loves it but also hates it cuz it makes him sad. And hearing this, it would make me sad too if I got to that part and read that
The patience is derived from the fact that Subaru has to fail, suffer and die multiple times no matter how much effort he poured in before he can finally see the right path, only to fail again and again until he actually did find a right path. His sacrifice serves as the means to just that because after all, he would not sacrifice himself if he were impatient.
I think it was just a way to show that he can survive most things. It shouldn't be taken as him actually beating the sun in a fight... But considering Od Laguna, I wouldn't be suprised if in the Re zero world the sun is a god like entity, might even be Od laguna, but I picture it more as the core of the world not the sun. So far Od Laguna doesn't seem conscious, but also it strongly hinted that Reinhardt gets his power from it meaning it has to have some sort of conscious decision making to chose Reinhardt.
Being an anime only person, I appreciate the coverage of the extra content that expands the world and characters. Literally can’t stop thinking about how bad I want season 3 😭
Here I will add a few details. The central theme in this route is drowning. The sentence "a drowning man will even clutch at straws" triggers this theme at different points. Subaru is drowning in distrust because he witness how easily people can change their minds. His world lost color, and except three people, the three straws: Ram, Emilia, and Beatrice. He believes they won't change their mind. Ram wanna kill him. Emilia won't forgive him. Beatrice will protect him based on their contract. Subaru knows that Beatrice is drowning as well, in loneliness, shares her pains, and wants to end it. So he becomes Beatrice's "that person" and gives her a long-overdue, happy ending. Emilia and Subaru meet once a week. Subaru never says a thing in the room, because he thinks that may make Emilia angry. On the other hand, Emilia already forgives him and somewhat look forward to their weekly meeting. At the last scene, Emilia chooses to side with Subaru. That reveals his scar. When Emilia says she will die with him, Subaru thinks Emilia will be like Rem, betraying him once he believed her. Ram's room is behind Subarus'. Everyday he will feed her and take care of her in person. Ram decides to keep acting like she wants to kill Subaru, despite by staying with Subaru for years she realized that Subaru was innocent. When she asked, "at last, you wanna die, Subaru?", she is ready to grant him what he gave Beatrice, the last straw. In fact, given Subaru's stone didn't kill Ram at the start, probably Ram already died and he killed himself there to try to save her. The reasons Subaru builds Pleiades are to find ways to keep Ram alive and to hide Ram and Emilia. In this route, he can't care less about things/people that are colorless, leading to the violent nature of Pleiades.
@@GauravKumar-tq1kw this is an if story that is not connected with the main story. Also, this is Re Zero. People die. Everyone does. Yet then Subaru dies and it all resets. This is all episode 1 info.
This might be the best IF story there is. It shows Subaru's potential to become dangerous if he were to abuse his Return by Death and that it would be unwise to make him an enemy. I doubt his death would be final since the witch loves him and would only take away RbD if he was satisfied with the outcome of his life. However, I doubt he was satisfied since the world had lost color and the woman he loved with it. The witch might either have sent him back to the point in time his world still had color or given him a merciless save point before the attack of Reinhardt's army, making him realize that this colorless world was all he had left now.
Pride IF shows how powerful Subaru can really be as a villain, if he were to abuse RbD. Technically Gluttony IF is also villain Subaru, in which he literally drowned everyone in the Water City of Priestle, killing otto, garf and countless of citizens, but meh I think in Pride IF Subaru is much more dangerous
It's only frozen because of the combination of the tears he's said to weep for all eternity, combined with the beating of his wings causing strong gusts that freeze his tears all around him, roughly up to waist height. It's not a sin to cry.
It makes sense that Emilia could stab Reinhard unknowingly, he has the divine blessing to dodge virtually any attack but I doubt that merely blessings could give him the foresight to predict the future without any other information. I believe his divine blessing allowed him to dodge attacks by automatically moving his body in accordance to the thoughts of anyone who wanted to harm him, the divine blessing would sense their desire to attack, where the attack would end up, and dodge accordingly.
Actually, in season 1 when Elsa loses the fight to Reinhardt, she throws her weapon at him and it just weaves around him and goes in another direction. So his blessing doesn't make him dodge physically but rather makes the attacks dodge him.
This is the Wrath route, so no, he doesn't have the authority of Pride to use RbD. It's explicitly stated that he, to a VERY limited degree (as always, no matter whether we're talking about the main story or these AU stories), has control over this story's eponymous authority. Since he's deeply incompatible with it (again, as always whenever he gets an authority), he can only use a tiny fraction of its power - in this case to see some peoples' emotions and better understand them, a reference to Sirius' version of Wrath in Pri(e)stella. Furthermore, him being content or not has nothing to do with RbD's activation parameters. See: the countless times his RbD checkpoint changed while he was knocked unconscious, unable to feel content or discontent, or had simply chosen to go to sleep for the day. Don't pull things out of your ass and act like they're facts when they're extremely easy to disprove with examples showing otherwise.
These what if stories make me wonder if the author would plan on having them be brought in as a major arc in the future. Like Subaru somehow sees visions of these other realities and he just has another mental breakdown on how terrible of a person he is capable of being
I think subaru died forever in that timeline, his return by death is a gift given by The Witch, maybe seeing the end where all his action lead of maybe she just though that was a suitable ending to Subaru and take off his return right before he died ending his life I don't really know the The Witch, so maybr i wrong
The witch has some sort of connection with Emilia since most of Subaru’s deaths and restarts revolve around her in some way so after he stopped believing Emilia I feel that he lost the witches favor and he actually died idk though these what if stories do give us insight into the whole return by death situation and maybe hint at what the witch actually wants idk so far I only have watched Echidnut’s videos on them but soon I will be reading them myself
Return by death is indeed controlled by the witch, but Emila doesn't exactly have much to do with it. Echidonut has made a video on this but in a certain IF story Subaru only meets Emilia twice or so, at the beginning and at the end. He's used returned by death many hundreds and thousands of times without meeting Emilia during that time. He also gets perma death there at the end if I recall things correctly. I'm not going to go in depth on this theory but it seems that return by death is so Subaru can get to the witch of envy alive so as long as there is a way of survival, he will be returning. That's if he has the will to continue though. It seems that if Subaru is pretty much completely satisfied with his death and does not even try to live anymore, the witch will give up on Subaru or something and return by death is no longer usable. But remember that's just a theory, or a summery of one at least.
Hmm 🤔 that is a good point maybe I was to hasty and just assumed based of the anime and what I have read so far in the light novels unfortunately I have not read the original web novel anyways hopefully one day we will get a concrete answer on what is going on
I think that he will restart and his restart point will be the edge of the cliff where he made a critical choice, that led him to this path, if it wasn't that choice he would have been exposed to other choices that would led him to other sins, so the power of Satella would rewind him to that point giving him opportunities to take other paths leading him to commit other sins, and this closes my own theory.
Well, he would just die permanently. Because he is content with his life and wants to finally, genuinely, end it. Same with pride, where he was satisfied with burning down luganica and confessing his love to Emilia. In wrath, he was tired. He was just so tired of living, he was looking for reasons to die too . But there was none. At the end, the only reason for his dying life was a caged ram which would free him from his sufferings and life and give him the privilege of a permanent death
I was so hoping I would find a summary of these stories, and the way you use art and scenes from the show to animate it is very well done. Thanks for putting so much work in. :3 I didn't realize how different the IF Routes would be, I may actually find them to read myself thanks to your videos.
@@arthorization no explicit scenes, but intimacy is implied(again nothing explicit, tappei is not that kinda guy) with literally every female character
You know what's fucking insane is that the smallest choice/deviation can send Subaru down the path of becoming a god damn super villain. In all the routes, just a different choice leads him to turning into the most maniacal evil person in the series. It's really amazing how in nearly all the what if paths, he just goes full slaughter house mode. He clearly has high scheming potential, he just isn't using it enough in the main series.
There was the gluttony route, which was way too much of a close call for subaru. Arc 6 SPOILER!!!!! He thought "What if i just kill my allies to achieve my goal?". And he was so close to doing it that i was scared
She isn't Satella but the two are probably related. My guess is that Emilia is a modified clone of Satella made to be more resistant to weird stuff that the Witch Genes inflict on people that are not compatible with them (such as Satella's split personality). So she's actually a perfect body for the Witch of Envy. Will Satella just possess Emilia? Probably not. Remember, Emilia is already a lot like Satella in personality and if this theory is correct, they have kind of the "same" body. So, instead of fighting for control, the two would fuse into a single person.
@@TRak598 i was thinking if Satella can use Authority of Sloth I can see her having Gluttony as well we have 3 White Whale also 3 Archbishop of Gluttony so we could have 3 EMT Satella Emilia 3rd one could be inside the seal in Elior Forest

I'm not a fan of those if stories ("Subaru and rem has a family"&"Subaru goes to school with other characters as classmates"). They're not as expansive as the other ones and just a bunch of classic anime tropes x10. Also what's the point of Subaru's life without his repeated deaths.

@@rasengan124 I figured that he later died again and returned before he killed her, and instead brought her with him. Either that of as Muhammad Uddin said, she recovered and was taken later in.
Tum Tum Yeah. I really love the relationship between them and I think Emilia is just shy that someone would actually love her. So she takes everything he says as a joke which is cute.
I would love Tsugihagu but I fear that that video won't get much attention on the community since it has boatload spoilers, Kasaneru mostly talks about arc 4 mainly focusing Echidna so I think Kasaneru might be a good option and then after the season ends (or half of it) you could upload Tsugihagu, looking forward to your reaction to the Anime as well
Tsugihagu was actually my favorite IF story so I will definitely cover it eventually, but most of my new subscribers are anime-onlies so I'm gonna try to keep the spoilers to a minimum for a bit. Maybe after Season 2 I'll start making more spoiler vids
A little detail I didn't explain in the video:
Pandemonium was able to disturb the connection between divine protections and their users, so the building itself weakened Reinhard significantly, basically "nerfing" him.
So when the building was collapsing did he get his full power back?
@@theresiavanastrea3132 It didn't collapse completely so I don't think so, but if he had just fought Cecilus outside the building it probably would've been a lot easier to defeat him

The Wrath route makes sense. When the maid killed him so many times, i was so mad. She murdered him brutally just because he seemed shady. They could have just captured and questioned him. The world is lucky MC is so patient.
Indeed
I think a normal person would have just fled the mansion never to return again, but the wrath path is also plausible
Actually wanting to save them even still...It requires a saint or someone who doesn't value his own life.He is a bit of both(flaws notwithstanding)
That said there was one thing that tipped him towards forgiving them in cannon: in that loop, or the second one I don't remember well, Rem and Ram did held his hands as he was having nightmares about dying in his sleep(since that s how he died the first time).It did calm his nightmare.The fact that they did so even for a stranger that was kinda sus is what made him see they could be good in better circumstances
But yeah...they should stop going to murder as the first solution
@@namoma4922 I mean subaru it just crazy to forgive and love rem .
Honestly , almost everyone had wronged Subaru in one way or another, and he still tried to understand and save them. Ram and Rem brutally murdered him multiple times. Puck murdered him before destroying the world. Roswaal comissioned everyone to be killed. Garfiel killed the civilians in the sanctuary and Otto in front of his eyes. Even Otto abandoned him that one time (he more than made up for it tho)
Main route Subaru is a fucking saint
@dfsad Would you say that post arc 4 Subaru is still immature.
We are talking about the mental state of a 17 year old boy here. It doesnt matter what intentions the maids, the bitc*, the clown or the brat had, all of that was more than enough to break someone's mind completely. I would not say Subaru is a saint, but he's a human, weak physically and emotionally, but one of a very strong will which was enforced by his allies(Rem S1, Otto and Witches S2).
And his 'selifish and greedy desires to save everyone'. No, I dont think he fell for Emila so hard on one sight, it must have a reason that will be known in the later arcs.
To be honest, Otto's reasons were the only defendable ones, he didnt threw out Subaru because he was scared that he would die, he actually went insane due to his divine protection(the whale was screeching at him to release Subaru). Insanity is something that removes all faults(if Rem killed Subaru during her crazed demonic state, it would be also due to insanity, the same goes for the failed loop where Garfiel killed everyone, the same goes for Petelguese, they were simply insane) Aside from that all reasons for killing someone are invalid and demented.
I do not mean to be disrespectful but if you have even a bit of understanding towards that cat or sincerely believe that he is not at fault then fuc* you and that cat lol.
Our birthday: yay so happy
Subaru's birthday: *suffer*
His existence is suffering, even in the main 'virtue' arc he suffers constantly. His smile is generally false, he puts it on to put others at ease, ironically Emilia can tell it's fake, but the fact he tries puts her at ease anyway.

At least he had a harem that one time
I think these are great examples of why Subaru is such a great character because basically, if he wants something, he gets it. Even if Return by Death is a tool in this, no doubt Subaru still plays a heavy influence in his own actions. He could become the greatest villain of the story, in multiple different ways, and so I think he can also be the greatest hero. It’s insane really.

"If Reinhardt were to fight against the sun he would win".... *WHO DECIDED THAT?*
OD LAGUNA did, hahaha.
The author of re zero.
Lololol
Reinhardt is god levels of broken. He can pretty much revive if hes killed. Only way he can die is if another successor is born and hes stripped of his divine blessings.
@@daraam02 nope he's not that godly even with his divine blessing than u think he would've died by regulus if subaru didn't help him, and + Every divine protection has a cooldown/penalty to fullfil the requirdment like Divine Protection of Wind Evasion that patrasche use has a cooldown, Divine protection of Phoenix that reinhard has can only be used *Once* he already used it on regulus so he can't use it anymore, and also he can only negate 80% of all magic attack not 100% so it's possible for him to die, so yeah escanor would have a very high chance of winning if he were to 1v1 with reinhard
According to the author here's what happened to the characters after the end:
Cecilus: lost the fight with reinhard, had both of his swords broken and fled.
Frederica & Halibel: Both survived and fled. Frederica was reunited with her family.
Puck: Killed by reinhard.
Reinhard: As mentioned earlier, kills puck and survives with heavy wounds(all of which incompacitates him for no longer than a short period of time after he leaves the pandemonium)
Subaru: Lets Ram finally strangle him to death. Dies a permanent death and joins satella in the dark realm
Emilia: She either 1) Survives and tries to kill Ram as revenge, or 2) Commits suicide, following after Subaru.
Edit: even if she does survive(Emilia), she is completely useless as she dropped out as a candidate and has become a heavily dependent person. She is no longer able to make her own decisions and doesn't have a goal, being hopeless and impactless, as well as the fact that she no longer has puck.
didn't ram get killed in the beginning tho I don't get the end
can you tell me how she is alive
@@nucleargamez5693 He essentially kept her alive in secret. In the beginning, the reason why she collapsed without being able to kill subaru was because she was mana deficient. Subaru eventually realizes this and starts collecting massive amounts of magic stones in order to sustain ram. When the seige began, it began with a merchant offering magic stones to subaru, and this was the disguise that reinhard infiltrated the pandemonoum with, hiding within the pile of magic stones. And a detail not mentioned in the video was that when Frederica enters his room to bring him his meal(this was when he was flipping the coin to decide if he wants to kill her family or not), she thinks to herself about why he always ordered food enough for 2 people. The reason was because he was keeping ram alive in a secret room that can be accessed by only him.

If I remember correctly, Subaru's trust issues are so bad he has trouble sleeping peacefully to the point when the only time he can get a normal sleep only with Emilia and Puck nearby and noone else. That's why he has these huge bags under his eyes.
Actually, it's still the same in the real timeline.
It's not like he doesn't trust his friends, but he has gathered so much trauma and PTSD, tht he just can't sleep without having nightmares.

He’s like a deus ex machina on steroids. And you know, I understand that the author was trying to create a Foil to Subaru’s character ( both are hero’s with technically overpowered characteristic but one needs the help of others while the other needs no help from others) but Reinhard is honesty too ridiculous.
Like, for how well-balanced even the most powerful characters are in Re:zero, Reinhard is a completely ridiculous anomaly. I am going to be critical here and say personally say that the author did a bad job in making him SOO overpowered because it really removes any absolute tension once Reinhard is able to step into the situation and one-shot any person he wants.
i hear that Regulus is the only one can beat Reinhart....but what weird is that Regulus no matter how strong he is , he still couldn't kill Subaru
2DS ah, you mean the greed guy? I haven’t read the part where Subaru fights him yet so I am interested.
Honesty, I sounds odd, but how many characters in Rezero do you think could be tanking out using conventional weapons? (Like guns, aircraft, bombs, mines, tanks, mortars, howitzers, etc.)
@Deidaroko [No Anime No Life] if Reinhard left his world his blessing would not follow.
The way I see it, Reinhard is a Mr Smith[matrix like AI]. If his blessing are tide directly to od Logna then it would he like playing 4d chess against a supercomputer
Here's a crazy theory about the cliffhanger
Subaru doesn't die a permanent death but keeps going back to Ram because since Emilia's colour is probably gone forever to him, the insane Subaru keeps returning to Ram and dying just to see colour again.
either that, or until he finally believes emilia and her color returns to him
Brandon Swerdlow I dont think so since his one moment of trust and reassurance was with ram he would just keep respawning there amd emilia would be gone
@@hannahvincent7119 true enough too, I was just thinking of a possible scenario :p

This is the Wrath route, so no, he doesn't have the authority of Pride to use RbD. It's explicitly stated that he, to a VERY limited degree (as always, no matter whether we're talking about the main story or these AU stories), has control over this story's eponymous authority. Since he's deeply incompatible with it (again, as always whenever he gets an authority), he can only use a tiny fraction of its power - in this case to see some peoples' emotions and better understand them, a reference to Sirius' version of Wrath in Pri(e)stella.

It's just funny that all of the stories problems would be solved by just dropping Reinhard into the situation. Why they don't have this guy on speed dial to deal with the witches cult is beyond me. It's not like he could leave the country anyways. Regardless even here in this whatif scenario he's clearly the biggest flaw in the Re:Zero universe by far.
He's not just a nuke, that man is the Nuke, the Navy, the Airforce, and the Army all in one, and even that's not enough. He could conquer the entire planet if he wanted to and kill all of the witches cult members solo. The only person he's tied with is Satella. The nobility in Re: are dumb. There should be an international counsel created just to send him to go kill witches cult members, especially after they wiped that country off the map.

Lol his wrath route was way more successful than his pride route but also has it worse than his pride counterpart as he could've killed Reinhart by having emilia, the shadow ninja, cecilus, and puck fight Reinhart at the same time and then there would be no one to stand in his way. But damn not being able to see color and having debilitating trust issues would suck so much. In the pride route he couldn't find a way to kill or even injure Reinhart and just decided to ruin his reputation, but at least he found a way to complete his goal of securing the throne for Emilia by having her kill him.
He can see colour, the “black and white” stuff is just a way of describing Subaru’s mental state where seeing someone in “black and white” means it’s someone who he feels he can’t trust due to his extreme trust issues
@@Oboreru493 no, in the story he asks cecilis to describe the color of a gem. He literally can only see black and white
I think Reinhard would have won even if you put all of them against him and in my opinion the pride route was more successful as he actually achieved his goal of securing the throne for Emilia. In this one he ended up dying all for nothing with even pushing away, Emilia. Though for me this route was just so much cooler and better than the pride route.
@@laughingcrows4661 Reinhart seemed really weak after fighting cecilus and Emilia was still alive after confronting Reinhart with Puck. So I just assumed they were able to handle a injured and tired Reinhart. But reading more into it Cecilus probably would have not fought with backup since he wanted to take out reinhart by himself.
BTW I’m pretty sure Emilia just left Puck to deal with Reinhard. Which I’m like 99% sure that Reinhard still beat Puck considering in the Sloth if story the world didn’t end when Puck should have ended it. My guess being that Reinhard killed Puck to stop him. So Puck was basically only able to stall him. With all that in mind I doubt them coming all together would be enough to beat him. He’s just too OP to defeat him without removing his blessings, spirits, etc.
Reinhardt got stabbed by Emilia because his divine protections weren’t working properly since he was in Pandemonium.

I wouldn't call it PATIENCE.
Because it's more than that.
I'd call it Sacrifice, or altruism via sacrifice.
The patience is derived from the fact that Subaru has to fail, suffer and die multiple times no matter how much effort he poured in before he can finally see the right path, only to fail again and again until he actually did find a right path.
His sacrifice serves as the means to just that because after all, he would not sacrifice himself if he were impatient.

@@SnowyIceChannel Yep that's correct. It was pretty badass
@@Echidnut I hope we see more smug Emilia in the future. She was a badass in that scene.
That confirms it. Sun in Re:Zero's story is conscious, so of course it cant win against Reinhard :D
I think it was just a way to show that he can survive most things. It shouldn't be taken as him actually beating the sun in a fight... But considering Od Laguna, I wouldn't be suprised if in the Re zero world the sun is a god like entity, might even be Od laguna, but I picture it more as the core of the world not the sun. So far Od Laguna doesn't seem conscious, but also it strongly hinted that Reinhardt gets his power from it meaning it has to have some sort of conscious decision making to chose Reinhardt.
Being an anime only person, I appreciate the coverage of the extra content that expands the world and characters. Literally can’t stop thinking about how bad I want season 3 😭

Here I will add a few details.
The central theme in this route is drowning. The sentence "a drowning man will even clutch at straws" triggers this theme at different points. Subaru is drowning in distrust because he witness how easily people can change their minds.
His world lost color, and except three people, the three straws: Ram, Emilia, and Beatrice. He believes they won't change their mind. Ram wanna kill him. Emilia won't forgive him. Beatrice will protect him based on their contract.
Subaru knows that Beatrice is drowning as well, in loneliness, shares her pains, and wants to end it. So he becomes Beatrice's "that person" and gives her a long-overdue, happy ending.
Emilia and Subaru meet once a week. Subaru never says a thing in the room, because he thinks that may make Emilia angry. On the other hand, Emilia already forgives him and somewhat look forward to their weekly meeting. At the last scene, Emilia chooses to side with Subaru. That reveals his scar. When Emilia says she will die with him, Subaru thinks Emilia will be like Rem, betraying him once he believed her.
Ram's room is behind Subarus'. Everyday he will feed her and take care of her in person. Ram decides to keep acting like she wants to kill Subaru, despite by staying with Subaru for years she realized that Subaru was innocent. When she asked, "at last, you wanna die, Subaru?", she is ready to grant him what he gave Beatrice, the last straw.
In fact, given Subaru's stone didn't kill Ram at the start, probably Ram already died and he killed himself there to try to save her. The reasons Subaru builds Pleiades are to find ways to keep Ram alive and to hide Ram and Emilia. In this route, he can't care less about things/people that are colorless, leading to the violent nature of Pleiades.
Oboreru means drowning so it couldn't be more specific
Damn suburu actually cracking HIS OWN skull is a nice catch, since we do see that Ram is indeed alive.
Bruh Beatrice's death in this is even more emotional after watching season 2 episode 11...
fuck you with your spoilers
@@GauravKumar-tq1kw this is an if story that is not connected with the main story. Also, this is Re Zero. People die. Everyone does. Yet then Subaru dies and it all resets. This is all episode 1 info.
@@GauravKumar-tq1kw dude. Listen. Subaru dies in newest chapter.
I just spoiled You.
This might be the best IF story there is. It shows Subaru's potential to become dangerous if he were to abuse his Return by Death and that it would be unwise to make him an enemy.
I doubt his death would be final since the witch loves him and would only take away RbD if he was satisfied with the outcome of his life. However, I doubt he was satisfied since the world had lost color and the woman he loved with it. The witch might either have sent him back to the point in time his world still had color or given him a merciless save point before the attack of Reinhardt's army, making him realize that this colorless world was all he had left now.
She probably kept him with her. For all of eternity
Subaru died a permanent death and joins Satella.
Pride IF shows how powerful Subaru can really be as a villain, if he were to abuse RbD. Technically Gluttony IF is also villain Subaru, in which he literally drowned everyone in the Water City of Priestle, killing otto, garf and countless of citizens, but meh I think in Pride IF Subaru is much more dangerous
“Ice isn’t a sin”
‘Lucifer on the frozen over layer of Dante’s inferno for the sin of treachery’:
“Am I a joke to you?”
It's only frozen because of the combination of the tears he's said to weep for all eternity, combined with the beating of his wings causing strong gusts that freeze his tears all around him, roughly up to waist height. It's not a sin to cry.
So... Is she the Witch of Treachery?
Damn subaru in this if so chad it made emilia a simp
Just wait til you see him in Lust
They should make these into an hour or two long movies it sucks to read while having aphantasia :(
@@laplacedex7878 more like a creep
It makes sense that Emilia could stab Reinhard unknowingly, he has the divine blessing to dodge virtually any attack but I doubt that merely blessings could give him the foresight to predict the future without any other information. I believe his divine blessing allowed him to dodge attacks by automatically moving his body in accordance to the thoughts of anyone who wanted to harm him, the divine blessing would sense their desire to attack, where the attack would end up, and dodge accordingly.
Actually, in season 1 when Elsa loses the fight to Reinhardt, she throws her weapon at him and it just weaves around him and goes in another direction. So his blessing doesn't make him dodge physically but rather makes the attacks dodge him.
@@saikithepsiioniic1358 that’s another of his blessings.

I feel that Subaru died permanently in this IF Story, he was content with his death, so there was nothing driving him to return by death.
I mean it is Wrath If so I feel like it would make sense like he was having extreme anger for living
This is the Wrath route, so no, he doesn't have the authority of Pride to use RbD. It's explicitly stated that he, to a VERY limited degree (as always, no matter whether we're talking about the main story or these AU stories), has control over this story's eponymous authority. Since he's deeply incompatible with it (again, as always whenever he gets an authority), he can only use a tiny fraction of its power - in this case to see some peoples' emotions and better understand them, a reference to Sirius' version of Wrath in Pri(e)stella.
Furthermore, him being content or not has nothing to do with RbD's activation parameters. See: the countless times his RbD checkpoint changed while he was knocked unconscious, unable to feel content or discontent, or had simply chosen to go to sleep for the day. Don't pull things out of your ass and act like they're facts when they're extremely easy to disprove with examples showing otherwise.
@@tomboy_kisser what do you mean he doesn't have RBD? How did he pass arc one?

This Version Of Subaru Reminds Of The Batman Who Laughs.
These what if stories make me wonder if the author would plan on having them be brought in as a major arc in the future. Like Subaru somehow sees visions of these other realities and he just has another mental breakdown on how terrible of a person he is capable of being
That would be so mind-shattering that it scares me
I would have to take a break from the show
If that happened
I would pay to see him make that
That would be mind-blowing
Season 2 minor spoilers
That seems like it could be Subaru's third sanctuary trial if he continued up to the 3rd
I think subaru died forever in that timeline, his return by death is a gift given by The Witch, maybe seeing the end where all his action lead of maybe she just though that was a suitable ending to Subaru and take off his return right before he died ending his life
I don't really know the The Witch, so maybr i wrong
The witch has some sort of connection with Emilia since most of Subaru’s deaths and restarts revolve around her in some way so after he stopped believing Emilia I feel that he lost the witches favor and he actually died idk though these what if stories do give us insight into the whole return by death situation and maybe hint at what the witch actually wants idk so far I only have watched Echidnut’s videos on them but soon I will be reading them myself
Return by death is indeed controlled by the witch, but Emila doesn't exactly have much to do with it. Echidonut has made a video on this but in a certain IF story Subaru only meets Emilia twice or so, at the beginning and at the end. He's used returned by death many hundreds and thousands of times without meeting Emilia during that time.
He also gets perma death there at the end if I recall things correctly.
I'm not going to go in depth on this theory but it seems that return by death is so Subaru can get to the witch of envy alive so as long as there is a way of survival, he will be returning. That's if he has the will to continue though. It seems that if Subaru is pretty much completely satisfied with his death and does not even try to live anymore, the witch will give up on Subaru or something and return by death is no longer usable. But remember that's just a theory, or a summery of one at least.
Hmm 🤔 that is a good point maybe I was to hasty and just assumed based of the anime and what I have read so far in the light novels unfortunately I have not read the original web novel anyways hopefully one day we will get a concrete answer on what is going on
@@topek8693 could you tell the name of the "What if" story ?
Cabo Vitor the one he’s talking about is the Pride story
I think that he will restart and his restart point will be the edge of the cliff where he made a critical choice, that led him to this path, if it wasn't that choice he would have been exposed to other choices that would led him to other sins, so the power of Satella would rewind him to that point giving him opportunities to take other paths leading him to commit other sins, and this closes my own theory.
Well, he would just die permanently.
Because he is content with his life and wants to finally, genuinely, end it.
Same with pride, where he was satisfied with burning down luganica and confessing his love to Emilia.
In wrath, he was tired. He was just so tired of living, he was looking for reasons to die too . But there was none. At the end, the only reason for his dying life was a caged ram which would free him from his sufferings and life and give him the privilege of a permanent death
It'd be so amazing to see the If-Routes animated.
And please cover more of the If Storys, your videos about them are so great.

Hi a disappointment, I'm Dad
Reading both pride and wrath make me always think EMT is satella
Even in main story sometimes she get jealous when any girl is close to subaru
She isn't Satella but the two are probably related.
My guess is that Emilia is a modified clone of Satella made to be more resistant to weird stuff that the Witch Genes inflict on people that are not compatible with them (such as Satella's split personality). So she's actually a perfect body for the Witch of Envy.
Will Satella just possess Emilia? Probably not. Remember, Emilia is already a lot like Satella in personality and if this theory is correct, they have kind of the "same" body. So, instead of fighting for control, the two would fuse into a single person.
@@TRak598 i was thinking if Satella can use Authority of Sloth I can see her having Gluttony as well
