God, Todd is just the best. The level on tension that dude just exudes around him despite for all intensive purposes being just "Some Guy" is amazing..
To think that between all the opponents of Natsuki with all of their magic bs abilities and conviction to hurt people important to Subaru the most menacing one is just a regular ass human that only attacks Subaru because he scares him
Todd has got to be my favorite villain in Re:Zero. The sheer inhumanity in his humanity is so great. I love that his greatest strength is his attitude rather than some power that he has. Subaru's fear and hatred of him parallel so great with Todd's own fear and hatred of Subaru.
in arc 3 LN (god please read it, so much cut content here) Subaru tries to see the witch cultists as human but is told by Felix and the others to not concern himself with that
Got done watching; you're videos are such a great way to refresh on all the details of each arc, the presentation of everything is excellent and I love your own speculations and discussion on each conflict the arcs present. The Vincent-Subaru dynamic is one I can't get enough of, so i'm glad you're enjoying it as well.
How are there only 2 thousand views? This is a great telling of the story props to this guy for making these. Good narration while explaining the themes and diving deep into the characters. Hope this video series continues.
Great analysis as always, I want to talk about my personal opinion of this volume since reading people comments can really change your perspective on things First of all the build up for this chapter and especially when Subaru wants to set up a plane, at the beginning I thought that maybe tappei wanted to hurry up and finish the volume however when he added there chapters to explain how the plan is processed I doubted that, so I think that the most realistic thing is that this is "extra information" for how did Subaru came up with the plan and how will he convinced the others, in a way you can skip it and it will be absolutely fine, it just gives you the process of things and the plan itself was very easy to understand and process, if it was a complicated plan then yeah I agree, and for saying the truth there's a scene in the final stage of this arc that will get me really angry if they didn't show how it was handled, simply because it was so frustrating and important so yeah I hope that tappei comes back for his old writing style,this one just give in off vibe The Natsumi problem was something I was so fascinated with for some reasons that I couldn't understand, it was unexpected and fun but unsettling in it's own way, but knowing Subaru personality you can understand why, Subaru tends to link a sertin kind of behaviors and his thoughts to a sertin gender, man are masculine and strong, their rational and capable and a good example of that is Wilhelm who is Subaru own ideal self, while women should be cute and full of Grace with in amazing intellect and Intelligent like crusch for example, Subaru is surrounded by capable women, they literally destroyed his thoughts about how women should be fragile and cute because there's more to it and Subaru found himself fascinated and drowned to such a character Now then what does all of this have to do with Natsumi? It's easy all of this started with ep 18, I always discussed how the problem wasn't if Subaru loved rem romantically or not but about what her existence means to him, Subaru literally linked "I'm rem hero" to "I'm the man rem saved" which lead him again to his bad habit of attaching a sertin ideals to the person gender, Subaru in his mind was starting to lose points in front of rem, he was showing her a "pathetic" side of him, showing her how weak and unmanly he is, kid you not my brother is very sensitive and he cries when he feels sad or stressed,his just a child but people keep telling him "man doesn't cry you should be strong" that's when I get it, people truly connect ideals to their gender and Subaru is no different than that Being rem hero meaning he is a man, when rem saw all the pathetic sides of him he was sad because he didn't seem "manly" but his breaking point was when SPOILER : rem told him that "his not a hero" making him break completely, because she denied not just that his a man but that he is a person, making him stick to Natsumi clothes even longer. being a man is something his not good with, his good with being cute, adorable and intelligent with a sassy behavior,but not so much as being a man, this seems to be the case specially after the chapter "it's hard to be a man" were it shows very clearly how Subaru struggling not with his gender but the ideals and believe he should reach to deserve to be called so, which was very very interesting to me since you don't have in idea for how I relate to this At the end for anyone who read everything thank you for reading all of that and stay safe ☺️
Great video,Todd is unlike any anime antagonist imo,he never waits and goes straight for kill,i mean we see that in other anime but they never follow through or just because become more generic, todd stays ruthless throughout and is pretty organic in general. Lmao i knew you have would have that reaction to cross-dressing chapters,Agreed we should followed through instead of backtracking,although i kinda liked the chapters just for the fun and fan-servicish nature of it,although yeah tonal shift was odd but makes total sense to give a breather for what's about to come,i think tappei added this to just give a mental breather for audience,because stuff coming next is pretty brutal
Love you’re enjoying the arc so far overall honestly I think you’ll enjoy the other phases 2 I can appreciate the honest criticism even tho personally I enjoyed the switch up of the storytelling structure after binging arc 5-7
Im making my way through arc 7, and Im enjoying it so far. Im almost finished with phase 3. Its not nearly as good as arc 6 to me, but it isn’t hard to read through. Todd is definitely my favorite character introduced in arc 7. He definitely has the potential to be Subaru’s most dangerous enemy in the series both from what we’ve seen and what could be in the future arcs.
tbh the first 2 phases are absolutely phenomenal. i dont mind that some stuff is done off screen, especially if its not really that important. there was a clear intent with them going to gural. so when stuff like that happens, its good to look why that happens instead of “oh, off screen solution = always bad”. Tappei has repeatedly proved himself to be a competent writer, you can still criticize some small decisions he makes but this is a really tough arc to write.
I explained it to a friend in Jujutsu Kaisen terms, so he could understand. If Reinhardt is the Gojo of the story. Then there is this guy named Todd, who just has to be Toji of the story!!! I think he understood the assignment from that point forward.
I’m still on like chapter 30, but what’s so wrong with it? Rem getting changed isn’t an issue, it’s actually a bit refreshing. Same with the new setting and cast, seeing Subaru out of his element and having to actually adapt is great. Todd is just amazing too.
Oh snap we're at this arc! I need to check out part 1 (Saw part 1 and finished this part now, I knew Todd was a big deal but I didn't know the specifics like that spawnkill loop) The dude's scarier than AFO, and he's just a guy
funny you should ask, if you become a UA-camR MEMBER of any tier you gain access to some wonderful rezero themed emotes that you can use on comments as well as live stream chats
Todd maybe those character which doesn't follow the generic anime or show's troupe of waiting to kill the mc. He doesn't wait 😈 that's why he is great antagonist
No, Satella is a person, not a NPC that is made up of code. The purpose of the rules is to keep subaru from revealing RBD. If it makes Subaru reveal even more then she will change it.
@@Peppers_mintus Petelgeuse was inside of him. RBD's contract is bound to Subaru's Od (soul). Any means to meddle with that messes with Satella. And even then Satella didn't kill Petelgeuse but kicked him out of Subaru.
Todd is one of the biggest reasons I love early arc 7 so much. His coldness makes every chapter he’s in more interesting
Todd and Abel straight up elevated the Arc from good to OMG what's he gonna do.
He’s exactly what the story’s been lacking - an actual enemy. I hope he becomes the norm and not the exception
Actual *ANTAGONIST
Todd: *Causes a Nuclear War just to save Katya and live peacefully.*
Pandora: *"Your love is not mistaken!"*
big fan
God, Todd is just the best. The level on tension that dude just exudes around him despite for all intensive purposes being just "Some Guy" is amazing..
All intents and purposes
@@Heavyluigi64all in tents and porpoises
Glad you enjoying Todd's presence, he's just that guy
To think that between all the opponents of Natsuki with all of their magic bs abilities and conviction to hurt people important to Subaru the most menacing one is just a regular ass human that only attacks Subaru because he scares him
Todd trying not to be the best character of Arc 7 challenge
Difficulty: impossible
Todd has got to be my favorite villain in Re:Zero. The sheer inhumanity in his humanity is so great. I love that his greatest strength is his attitude rather than some power that he has. Subaru's fear and hatred of him parallel so great with Todd's own fear and hatred of Subaru.
excent analysis. I never noticed how Subaru was dehumanizing the Witcg Cult, since I was as well
in arc 3 LN (god please read it, so much cut content here) Subaru tries to see the witch cultists as human but is told by Felix and the others to not concern himself with that

Glad to see you enjoy Arc 7, Asa. Keep up the good work !
Love that you’re enjoying arc 7!
These videos are always a joy to watch. Can’t wait for the next phase
How are there only 2 thousand views? This is a great telling of the story props to this guy for making these. Good narration while explaining the themes and diving deep into the characters. Hope this video series continues.
It is a good day when Asa uploads a Re:ZERO summary and review. Love your input and interpretation of the writing!
Damn is that God Eater music I hear in the background? Neat, haven't heard that in a long ass time.

The Natsumi problem was something I was so fascinated with for some reasons that I couldn't understand, it was unexpected and fun but unsettling in it's own way, but knowing Subaru personality you can understand why, Subaru tends to link a sertin kind of behaviors and his thoughts to a sertin gender, man are masculine and strong, their rational and capable and a good example of that is Wilhelm who is Subaru own ideal self, while women should be cute and full of Grace with in amazing intellect and
Intelligent like crusch for example, Subaru is surrounded by capable women, they literally destroyed his thoughts about how women should be fragile and cute because there's more to it and Subaru found himself fascinated and drowned to such a character
Now then what does all of this have to do with Natsumi? It's easy all of this started with ep 18, I always discussed how the problem wasn't if Subaru loved rem romantically or not but about what her existence means to him, Subaru literally linked "I'm rem hero" to "I'm the man rem saved" which lead him again to his bad habit of attaching a sertin ideals to the person gender, Subaru in his mind was starting to lose points in front of rem, he was showing her a "pathetic" side of him, showing her how weak and unmanly he is, kid you not my brother is very sensitive and he cries when he feels sad or stressed,his just a child but people keep telling him "man doesn't cry you should be strong" that's when I get it, people truly connect ideals to their gender and Subaru is no different than that
Being rem hero meaning he is a man, when rem saw all the pathetic sides of him he was sad because he didn't seem "manly" but his breaking point was when
SPOILER : rem told him that "his not a hero" making him break completely, because she denied not just that his a man but that he is a person, making him stick to Natsumi clothes even longer.
being a man is something his not good with, his good with being cute, adorable and intelligent with a sassy behavior,but not so much as being a man, this seems to be the case specially after the chapter "it's hard to be a man" were it shows very clearly how Subaru struggling not with his gender but the ideals and believe he should reach to deserve to be called so, which was very very interesting to me since you don't have in idea for how I relate to this
At the end for anyone who read everything thank you for reading all of that and stay safe ☺️
Very cool vid! Looking forward to the next phase!

The goat is finally here.
Todd is the best character

OMG YESSSS FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG😭😭

Tappei has repeatedly proved himself to be a competent writer, you can still criticize some small decisions he makes but this is a really tough arc to write.
I need the soundtrack for Todd's "I will not Wait" line. Plus the ambushed sneak attack scene!! Literally the peak of this phase!!
arc 7 structure is gonna be very cut throat like this only choice is to get used to it
I can't believe that Rowan got one shotted by Todd and I didn't even know who rowan was until like cecilus shows up.
You saved my day
This was Todd at his peak. After this point, he was just an annoyance and his presence got more and more on my nerves.
I explained it to a friend in Jujutsu Kaisen terms, so he could understand. If Reinhardt is the Gojo of the story. Then there is this guy named Todd, who just has to be Toji of the story!!! I think he understood the assignment from that point forward.
Thanks, love your videos. Always great analysis and summary. While Arc 7 has its more divisive parts I hope you still enjoy the gift that is Todd.

todd not letting that shit slide 💀
"I'm so close with that shit ambush. Fortunately, I'm alive. I could take a breather here in Guaral."
_sees Subaru_
"Guess, it's bomb time."💀
Todd is great example is someone who has something to protect and acts on their fear! He's my favorite character from arc 7!
Todd is such a chad
OMG, let's fucking gooooo
Todd is no better than the sin archbishops
Because a human can become monster. But monster can have human heart
I still can't believe Rowan lost so easily
Nice!
Todd really utilized the Joestar family's secret technique 💀
Bro is a real one.
he's me
How did you do that?

I never thought I would utter the words “WORST GIRL, LETS GOOOOO!!!”
Yeaaaaaaaaah effing abel
Is that disco Elysium music I hear
YESS todd strongest character of arc 7 ez
Todd goated
Let's goooooo

Todd maybe those character which doesn't follow the generic anime or show's troupe of waiting to kill the mc.
He doesn't wait 😈 that's why he is great antagonist
Alot of these videos confuse me but I have a question if we get a anime adaptation of this how long would it take for us to get to arc 7?
Bad news 💀
Bro, dont even cope. Just never, Longer than it took for berserk to get 2nd season.
What are you confused about?
season 5
10 years for the very least
That yapping with music at perfect timing was diabolical
where the rest?
Hmm can Subaru kill anyone by telling them of return by death
No, Satella is a person, not a NPC that is made up of code.
The purpose of the rules is to keep subaru from revealing RBD. If it makes Subaru reveal even more then she will change it.
@@applel2.043then why did that work with Petelgeuse?
@@Peppers_mintus Petelgeuse was inside of him. RBD's contract is bound to Subaru's Od (soul). Any means to meddle with that messes with Satella. And even then Satella didn't kill Petelgeuse but kicked him out of Subaru.

You are the same as me?
Well that was confusing
genderbent subaru is hot
WTF IS HAPPENING
