at time 10:39 from ep /18:51 this video (of the episode, when gluttony eats rem's name) you skipped images from the future that gluttony stolen REM,.... They appear very quickly, you must go in slow playback
just before rem was defeated, you can see her having thoughts of her marred life with subaru and their two children, those were her last thoughts before she thought she would die, thats also the Sloth IF story which the author wrote about.
I think it was a really nice touch having a reference to one of the if story's of what could have been. Really makes the whole thing that much more tragic.
Luke, the reason why re:zero episodes are longer than usual anime is because the studio paid the TV to air extra anime content, instead of commercials in the middle of the episode, not only does this mean longer episode, but the immersion is also not lost because of commercials. And as you can see, they also dont do recaps. And many times they dont include the opening//ending into the episode, just to air more episode content. Sometimes they just add the song on top of whats happening. This is the true manifestation of fan service in my eyes
Second season has so much love put into it. The reason that the episodes are long is that the creator studio (WhiteFox) decided to not give ad breaks after the episodes so that they could give more content even though it meant less money.
@@lite4998honestly for a light novel adaptation of an extremely long arc, the way they managed to keep it coherent despite cutting alot of content, sacrificing profit in favour of creating a good product, especially with kenichiro suehiro continuing to make some of the greatest ost in anime history, a bit of animation inconsistencies are a price I will happily pay. This is definetly the best timeline for re:zero anime adaptation when you think about it.
luke thinking he's finally back to normal episode length... but he did not know... the re:zero staff are GOATED HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 30 MINUTE EPISODES EVERY WEEK
The part where Lye Batenkaitos eats Rems Name and Memories (18:50) you can see quick flashes of a future. This is actually a What If the Tappei Nagatsuki wrote called Sloth IF, which is an alternate ending to ep 18 where Rem and Subaru run away to Kagaragi and have a family abandoning everyone. There's actually a bunch of IF stories. Each IF story is written on April 1st (Subaru's birthday) and each of them shows a diffrent path Subaru could've taken at certain points in the story. If you are interested here are the best times to read them. (Currently the anime is on arc 4 aka Season 2 and Season 3 will be arc 5 and 6) Sloth IF: Read whenever after S1 BUT has a minor arc 5 spoiler, and also has a character you will not see in the anime for a WHILE (we talking probably season 5 of Re:Zero) Greed IF: Best to read after season 3 (contains some arc 5 and 6 spoilers) Wrath IF: Read whenever after S1 BUT again contains 2 characters you will not see until season 4 and 5 (but you can read about one of them in Re Zero EX 4) Pride IF: Best to read after season 3 (after arc 5) Gluttony IF: Read after season 3 (after arc 6) Lust IF: Read whenever after S1 Aganau IF: Watch whenever after S1 (it's from a mobile game) Or instead of reading them there are some summary videos on youtube. It's not the same as reading them since its just a summary but hey if you don't like to read then that's an option (If I missed anything let me know) Anyway I'm hoping one day that these What IFs get turned into OVAs! I Definitely want to see Wrath, Pride and Sloth the most! Aganau would also be cool but I don't know how likely that is to happen.
If stories aren't exactly alternative endings. They are simply explanations of what could have cannonicaly happened if subaru had made a different choice. The events of the if stories never really happened tho.
@@jakeguillero9804Lust If was written by the author of re zero. But it was badly written to the point where nothing made sense considering the characters personality. The If stories themselves don't make much sense, so i would recommend you to not take it too seriously.
The IFs stories aren't alternative endings, is it exactly a "What If", what could have happened if Subaru was pushed to make a different choice, but the stories don't actually happen even tho it is made by the author.
I would also may theorize that the IF stories is the point of the story where subaru gets the affinity with said sins. Im not getting into the details for no spoils but just remember the fact subaru wasn't able to see the hands of sloth before becoming "slothful"
41:27 Can you imagine what Emilia must have felt at the end of the episode? She saw him so desperate for someone else, she certainly realized that THIS IS SUBARU, this is how much he values who he loves. And no, a man doesn't need to be romantically interested to love a woman. At least for me. Wanting to be on the person's side, wanting the person well, can't that be called Love? That's why I think it's wrong when some fans define Subaru as an indecisive guy... I understand those who defend Rem, but we don't choose who we fall in love with...
Said so well. I believe everyone has room for more than just one person in their heart. infact its almost unhealthy to just fill your heart with one person. thats not to say youre depriving the main person (in this case Emilia) of love.
Exaclty, Subaru loves Emilia dont mean him dont can showing affection towards another Woman. But Subaru dont is a indecisive guy, Subaru nevers waves or changes the mind (him loves Emilia), the only thing in anime Subaru changes the decision was because him feels forced for the situation (Subaru wanted give up and run away ) PS : Sorry my english
This episode hits harder when you realize the reason Ram attacked Subaru at the village for the blank letter was because Rem wrote it and she was erased and so was the letter. This was an imminent warning to Subaru that Rem was already gone and to reset but he missed the queue because he was so focused on Emilia
He kept eying the knive because in the novel, he killed himself with that knive over and over and over again just to return each time again in front of that bed. They didn't put it in but acknowledged it for the readers by having those frames with the knives and with his statement "No matter how many times i die, i will never make it in time".
The funny thing about this series is that you can know the exact moment when Rem disappears from the first season. since although Subaru is the one who sends the warning letter to Roswal's mansion. he he he does not yet master the language of that world so it is Rem who writes it. So the letter does not disappear because it is a message from Subaru, but the words do since it was Rem who wrote them, just like what happened with all the objects in Rem's room. the first time she was erased by the white whale...
Skipped content : MAJOR - Wilhelm in this episode also showed that subaru means much more to him than it seems in anime, something akin to family, he thinks of subaru as much as of Crush, which means hell die for subaru Minor - the reason they showed the knife in rems room is because in WN, Subaru killed himself with that knife several times just to see if hell actually go further in his savepoint, thats why he was looking at it several times in anime
An important detail that you may have subconsciously realized, but it bears saying out loud: Subaru has so far demonstrated a level of immunity to TWO of the sin archbishops’ Authorities. First, Subaru was the only one unaffected by the “unseen” part of the Unseen Hands, and now Subaru is the only one who remembers Rem despite her name having been eaten by the Authority of Gluttony (which according to Puck should have caused all memory of her to vanish). He’s not outright immune to the effects of the authorities, nor is he able to negate them in any fashion (e.g. Petelgeuse was still able to throw him around with the hands). But he does appear to have some form of resistance to some of their effects.
After everything Subaru has went through to save everyone it still came to this, him breaking down and Emilia comforting him with the ost in the background just hits like a freight train but that’s what makes Re:Zero Re:Zero everything comes with a price there’s no complete victories Oops sorry once again time stamps bases on the patreon video 1:00 It’s because arc 4 is longer than arc 1-3 combined which season 1 adapted. White Fox even has bought up the commercial slot to give us 29 minute episodes for the whole 2nd cour and the opening barely plays while the ending plays in the actual episode. It’s really a passion project. Even tho still stuff had to be cut but that’s what you got the comment section for! 3:55 It wasn’t known if Re:Zero would get a second season, so to avoid a shit storm they ended the anime on a good note so the opening scene of this episode actually was the ending in the light novel which the anime adapts. That’s why it also took so long in between seasons. Unfortunately there’s also been production issues with Season 2, mostly bc a big chunk of staff went and created studio Bind for Mushoku Tensei as well as studio Nexus that animated 10 episodes of season 1 not being on board this season also covid hit in the final stages of production. Season 3 is probably gonna be after 4 years again when it airs because White Fox had to sort out their staff situation, they been on a constant hiring spree and moved to a bigger new studio there’s currently no release date but that’s a good thing. A credible leaker said the time frame they have set internally is very reasonable and we’ll get up to 43 episodes since season 3 adapts arc 5 & 6 arc 6 being hailed as peak Re:Zero and i must agree 11:35 Yes the power of “eating” as Puck later explains in this episode so the pet of gluttony being the whale is quite fitting since they share the same ability 15:09 You might want to pause and look at the flashes that’s an Easter egg for fans of one of the If stories that get released on Subarus birthday by the author you can see a grown Rem and Subaru with their children after they ran away to Kararagi like Subaru proposed in episode 18 18:38 The second time Subaru kills himself to save Rem. That’s why I’ll never understand the sentiment that she’s too good for him. And shit indeed, this season starts off on a good note ☠️ 20:29 Another Easter egg in the light novel Subaru killed himself with the knife and from what I understand there’s been several attempts to save Rem but he never made it but he somehow managed to keep Crusch from dying. The knife is a representation that even if he kills himself to go back it’ll be futile 21:29 Puck doesn’t Remember but he knows he somehow was connected to Rem somehow it’s a big help Ram is there and it’s obvious that they’re siblings 23:13 They don’t but seeing Subaru is there caring for Rem Crusch tried to give him some encouragement since he looked really down 31:45 A beautiful thing about the writing of Re:Zero. Emilia-tan isn’t just a nickname but in this moment it was also used to show that Subaru is so depressed he didn’t even bother to add the tan at the end when he said her name
I don't believe Crusch ever died to begin with. She was just badly wounded. Rem was healing her immediately after losing her arm and managed to stop the blood loss before fighting the cultists. Felix, being the best healer in the kingdom, was able to reattach the arm when he found her, but obviously was quite torn up at first having found her in that state.
@@nameless8789are you sure? In the first loop I think she actually died but because Subaru knew their location from his restart they were able to arrive on site quicker and Felis could attend to her quicker
Luke, you've misunderstood something. Betelguese said that were 6 Sin Archbishops, and of those 6, only Pride's "seat is vacated", implying that there were 6 in the past but Pride either disappeared or died. So far, the Sin Archbishops that were mentioned up to now are Sloth, Pride, Greed, and Gluttony. Only 2 more left. And there are 3 sins left, Lust, Wrath, and Envy. Of those 3, only 2 are Archbishops.
Fun fact: For a good chunck of episodes in Season 2. They went so above and beyond for the show that the runtime of the episodes not only ran through both the opening and the ending credits, But they paid to have the episodes run through Commercial time. I can't really think of any other show that was willing to do that...
If you wanted to know about the knife it is from the Light Novel. Subaru killed himself in the bedroom with the knife instead of the yard with the sword like the anime adapted.
The anime portrayed how the infamous encounter between Regulus and Lye had with Rem and Crusch quite differently than the novel did. The most startling difference was greed's attacks. In the novel, he didn't attack the carriage, but it simply ran into him, and the collision destroyed the carriage while Regulus was unharmed. In the anime it looks like Regulus did nothing to cut Crusch's arm off but in the novel he swung his hand up in the air, which severed her arm clean off. These are small but still notable details that were altered or left out
When you see white screen just when she was defeated if you slow video down you can see images of a "different story". This is one of alternative stories for Re:Zero called IFs - what would happen if Subaru have chosen different path. There are 6 of those in total (every represends different sin). These are images of what would happen if Subaru had run with Rem called Sloth IF or Rem IF.
Regarding your comment about the length of Re:ZERO episodes, that brings up an excellent point of this Anime's production, so hopefully this info helps you appreciate it! - Back when this season ended, I sat down and charted out precisely how much extra content those behind this series have given us all along. (Nerdy-math details are that I added up and averaged how much time "normal" Anime episodes run vs. how much of that is taken up by recaps, the OP song, and the ED song, then noted down and compared that to the runtime of every Re:ZERO episode, and noted when/if the episode used an OP or ED.) The results were as follows: The TLDNR is, in Season 1, Re:ZERO gives the audience a total of 1 hour 10 minutes and 30 seconds of EXTRA story. Another way to view that is, they gave us the equivalent of an extra three whole 23:30 episodes with no OP, ED, or recap. Season 2 Part 1 (which bear in mind is only 13 episodes) gave us 1h 3m 10s of extra air time, or if you like, three uninterrupted 21:03 long episodes. Season 2 Part 2 (only 12 episodes) gave us... 1h 31m 34s of extra content. The equivalent of four extra 22:53 long episodes, with no padding. This is ASTOUNDING, when you consider that from a production standpoint, they had OPs+EDs made (art, animation, and the songs), paid for them to be made, AND DIDN'T USE THEM every episode, on top of nearly every episode EXCEEDING the usual broadcast TV length of an Anime episode, meaning that while this aired live on broadcast TV, they _cut into commercial airtime_ in order to give the audience the story they wanted to tell. Studio White Fox & their Producers (KADOKAWA among others) really went to bat with Re:ZERO, to ensure we got as much story as possible in this form of media.
15:34 from what betelguese said to subaru the first two loops the sin archbishop of pride does not exist yet becuae "the seat of pride is the only one still open" pride cant show up until the seat of pride is filled
In the LN version of this episode during her very short and one sided fight against Greed and Gluttony Rem thought to herself that she hopes when Subaru finds out she had died that it would send a small ripple through his heart since she thinks her death wouldn't bother him much given that he has Emilia. Very tragic that she never knew just how much she truly means to him 😢
I am here just to say that Rem is the best girl. Ever. PS: It is not shown in the anime but in novels, Subaru killed himself a lot of times trying to change the save point. It never happened. The knife is a reference to that.
a curious thing about the archbishops of the witch cult. is that each of her names corresponds to a constellation of our stars. Like Subaru's neck name is also that of the constellation of the Pleiades as he himself says in the Snow Memory OVA. and the reason why he became a fan of them!
Keep in mind that Puck has a connection to "this girl" (Rem - but Puck never calls her that) because she's Ram's twin sister - and anyone that knows Ram can put 2+2 together on the fact that they're sisters, even if that can't remember who Rem is.
Something I learned recently: Did you ever figure out why the letter that went to Emilia's camp was blank? Who wrote that letter? When you consider the time frame, Rem and Crusch left immediately after the white whale battle while Subaru was still organizing everyone, waiting on Julius, getting the plan ready and having everyone get into position. By the time it came to explaining the blank letter to Subaru, Rem's name and memories were eaten. Rem wrote the letter and it went blank when she was 'deleted' from history, hence why everyone remembers it that way.
Can’t wait for this. Season 2 will drag you down to the lowest of lows but also raise you up to the highest of highs. The story can get pretty convoluted in this season compared to the last one so don’t be afraid to ask questions to better help understand what’s going on if you need to.
Can you explain why Puck said he is connected to Rem? And why did he not forget that this connection exist, after Rem's name got erased? And why does nobody questioning Subaru, why he still remember Rem? I kinda dislike Season 2 because of stuff like this.
@@XpurkapiXPuck doesn’t remember Rem, he simply has a basic understanding of Gluttony. He just knows she’s supposed to be important to him. As for why nobody questions Subaru. It’s not really explained but it boils down to everyone trusting him. As well as knowing he’s different from everyone else, hope this helps.
@@XpurkapiX connection as to "i should know this person" no one questions him, or rather, he always says weird things "the whale will appear here because my metia says so". the whole point is.. the people close to him are so accustomed to him being weird that him "remembering someone that should not be remembered" isn't the weirdest thing about him. Plus, there are hits that he has "resistance" against this "sins powers" (him being able to see the unseeing hand, and spoiler spoiler blabla in the future). Sorry if bad writing, not the best at english class in my school xD
Everyone should watch the full(with lyrics) realize opening song after this episode because it shows Subaru's mindset due to losing Rem. People think it's about Emilia, but it's clearly about how Subaru is so determined not to lose anyone else because of this, and how much more aware of and afraid of the limits of return by death he is as well! For example, some people treat future episodes as if they will know exactly when a checkpoint changes and SURELY that person isn't gone for good! But I'm not spoiling anything here, my point is just that whatever happened, after this Subaru was at this point MUCH more afraid of a checkpoint changing as it did with his suicide over Rem's body, so factor that into his mindset and reactions. He didn't give as much thought to whether checkpoints changed because he didn't die and it's even something which watchers get upset about in episodes 14 to 18, since while he inevitably did die in the bad ends he wasn't actively looking for it or was just plain insane(see episode 15 when he wanders through the village with Rem's body, he wasn't thinking straight at all and kept himself together with hatred for Petelgeuse). Subaru from this point on is much more actively thinking about who he might lose by just happening to stay alive at the wrong moment. So the knife is a good signal for that, although he has reasons for it he's much more suicidal than before.
season 2 will contained tons of information to catch up, me currently watching season 2 for the second time and still having a hard time processing every new problems and events, every single second feel like there are at least 3 events happening simultaneasly, plus 25 episodes for the whole season truly makes my brain trembles
Simple way to understand the power of the Sin Archbishops: If Petelgeuse is a 100 The Archbishop of Gluttony (Lye) be a 10,000 The Archbishop of Greed (Regulus) would be 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
I thought they didn't question why Subaru remembers was because they already knew about the "sleeping beauty's curse". I don't know about the Petelgeuse situation but maybe it was explained in the light novel instead?
@@haiphengar627the whole plot of season 2 doesn't exactly show Subaru's circumstances making him perfectly trusted by everyone, even at this point he had to get Rem not to kill him ages ago, Beatrice drained his mana when he arrived to check he wasn't dangerous, Puck can read the intentions /mood of a person so would know if Subaru meant anyone harm, Crusch's camp were very hard for him to avoid the suspicions of, Russel Fellow was happy to receive the phone in exchange for resources and as the head of a highly feared intelligence organisation will likely have been keeping an eye on him throughout the story but it's such a slow burn that we haven't reached it yet, Anastasia is spoilers, Priscilla just doesn't care enough to remember his name, Al is another suspicious guy, Ferris would have no reason to do anything since by healing his gate for a while Subaru would easily be killed by him if he did anything bad, and generally everyone in this world has secrets so they're perfectly fine with not outright asking why someone would say they can be trusted despite connections with the witch cult and just acting to test them or figure them out from the outside while never directly saying they don't trust him. It's just Subaru's been saving everyone's lives from surprise attacks ever since they started being suspicious of him so what's the point in asking? They've mostly concluded that his connection might be as some sort of victim of theirs instead(and however willing they were, the cultists under Petelgeuse also seem a bit like victims once you realise he was possessing their bodies to escape death and also mutilating other people's bodies while eating fingers etc). The cult has a bunch of people act like suicide bombers, it's not unbelievable that they might have tortured and experimented on Subaru(and in fact the light novel for episode 15 felt basically like that, their chanting/spells and the miasma in that hidden cave seemed to do something with his witch factor which was tormenting him, I think they were trying to really make him join the cult and maybe a gospel really was about to show up if things went their way).
Luke: "Is season 2 going to get even more messed up?" Me: "Brother... take a deep breath, because this dive is only going more and more deep."💀 Also, I can't wait to see Luke react to the "Tea Party's".
I've been wondering why the sub uses "Felis" (what it sounds like when the Japanese VAs say it) instead of the characters actual name "Felix". It's not even a direct phonetic translation of the character's name in Katakana フェリス "Ferisu". The name being in Katakana means it's foreign and thus is meant to be "Felix". It's a harder name for the Japanese since they don't have the X sound, and R and L sounds are combined. Pretty sure this is why "hello" tends to sound like "herro" and "run" ends up softer like "lun", you pick up the extra wrong sound which makes it sound more like the opposite.
The scene at the end of the season wasn't in the original because they weren't yet sure there was going to be a second season. They included the scene in the director's cut to tease the second season they now knew was coming.
Congratulations🎉 you've finally made it to season 2... Remember this Luke, if the episode title has a e character name, then that episode will be God tier
The last scene from season 1 wasn't there in the original because at that time when the season ended the idea of dropping a second season wasn't a thing. I think season one ended around 2014 and season 2 came out around 2019 (or even later) if I'm not mistaken.
Hey, I would like to thank you for your reactions. I am a French student (in art, and animation i hope) and you often accompany my weekly meals (so I can improve my English a bit and enjoy my favorite shows a second time). So so hyped to see you reactions to Vinland Saga, if it ever happens. Love u man
17:48 - "We haven't seen Roswaal do [anything at] all, [...] are we ever gonna see him fight?" I just finished everything of the Anime that has been released yet, and thus hearing this Statement is kinda funny to me. Don't worry. It will all make Sense. But there are multiple Reasons why he's never there in the Time of Need, and you will learn about them. :x
I liked that you had a disturbed face as you saw that Subaru immediately held a knife to his throat as his first choice to save Rem. Usually reactors would have no reaction to this, but I like that you had a disgusted reaction. Cos it shows how much you have come to care for Subaru. As a person and not just a fictional character we can all pretend is a strong entity that can do no wrong and save everyone. After everything, he's just gonna leave this world and start again by killing himself? He's just gonna leave behind this world, full of people who respect and care about him without a second thought? This will be a constant theme for this season. Its made even worse that the new checkpoint is too late, meaning Subaru can't rely on dying anymore as his only option. We've already seen how low Subaru thinks of himself in season 1, so this new development may threaten to bring back those tendencies of self hatred and blaming himself for not being able to do anything. Its something I appreciate about the writing of Re:Zero. Changing as a person doesn't mean there's no possibility you won't regress back to old habits. This may be the same for Subaru. I hope with every fiber of my being that Subaru remembers the lesson he learnt from Rem, to not shoulder the burden alone.
33:05 I guess it would be the ideal situation but there's something about the archbishops: they are menaces for centuries now. In this world, where there are magicians, knights, the line of Sword Saints... The witch cult has never been defeated in centuries. Only two of archbishops are more known: Sloth (because Betelguese wasn't sloth at all) and Greed (a little piece of lore about him: years ago he destroyed an entire village alone and he's seen as "invincible"). The only reason they had a chance in the series it's because Subaru has RBD and they've could lay an ambush. Then, Gluttony is trickier 'cause every victim of him can't remember: no one knows how he looks. Even if Subaru wanted to search for them he has no leads, no info, no nothing.
In one of the alternate paths of Re Zero (The main one you are watching is Envy), Pride If, Subaru actually becomes the Sin Archbishop of Pride, but in the main path, that slot is vacant
I feel like there are some details you missed in season 1. Petelgeuse mentioned that there are 6 seats of Sin Archbishops. Of the 6, only one is vacant, that is pride. That is why he suspected Subaru of being pride In terms of magic, you probably know a bit about this, but there are 3 different types of magic we know so far : 1-> Normal magic - This is the one we see most in the show. They say some incantation like Shamac or Goa and things happen. For this to work, they consume mana from themselves, a spirit they have a contract with or draw it directly from the atmosphere like Rem does with her horn. 2-> Blessings - These are magical abilities that people are born with. Not everyone gets it but people who do can be powerful. Examples for this are, Felt who did a supersonic dash in the first episode (It's a type of Wind blessing), Crusch's lie detection abilities (Another type of Wind Blessing). Some animals are also born with blessings. Like the ground dragons, or that Boss Ulgarm that caused a lot of land slides in the mansion arc (It has a type of Earth Blessing) etc. 3-> Authorities - These are powers we see the Sin Archbishops have. Petelgeuse's unseen hands, Sin archbishop of Gluttony's eating power or the Sin Archbishop of Greed's power are all examples of it. Season 2 has begun. Have a good journey.
The reason the directors cut added in the who is rem scene, is because when season 1 first released, they weren't sure they would make more seasons. And I presume they didn't want to leave people on that cliffhanger for (was it 3 years before season 2 came out?) Also, light spoilers ahead for the web novel and what will probably be season 3 I really like how when crusch attacks regulus, you can see that he doesn't even really notice he has been attacked until like a full second after it's been neutralized. Regulus's defensive aspect kinda just happens to him, and he is even called out as clumsy and untrained in the web novel. this is a small detail that kinda points to this. Kinda a if you know you know moment.
The after credits scene regarding Emilia asking about Rem is different in the manga and potentially light novel. In the manga they were sitting in a field when Emilia asks Subaru who Rem is.
22:40 I gotta I was quite taken by surprise that after ALL that fighting AND his perfect moment with Emilia, he was willing to sacrifice it all for Rem. (This is for those who'd say that Subaru is a piece of shit for saying he loves Emilia in the ep 18 - Rem's declaration on love)
all the episodes are long compared to normal anime episodes, they even skip the opening and ending songs and extend some episodes to even 28 minutes. they even sacrificed AD revenue during the TV airing in japan so that they could give us more content with each episode, mad respect for the studio white fox
I've been so hyped for you to see this episode introducing 2 of the coolest characters in re zero. Also the fact that greed was able to take a direct attack from crushe which managed to cleave the white whale shows a lot about his strength. Also fun fact: The strength of a archbishop depends on how well they represent their sin. Sloth represented it pretty badly so he is one of the weaker archbishops. But greed and gluttony represent their sins near perfectly which gives them a ton of strength. this is really sad but if you notice Rem said "soon enough a hero will appear before us to rid us of all of you." Meaning in that moment Rem knew she would lose yet she still fought.
Doesn't Regulus seem a lot more prideful than greedy? I know about some of the 'things' that he has which definitely contribute to greed, but I just mean his attitude makes me think of pride, and not greed.
Gluttony says: "Crush-sama looks tasty for a nibble, but Rem-chan is a SNAX." At least there is a difference between getting your Existence erased by the white whale. And having your name and/or your memories consumed by the Archbishop of Gluttony. Is similar but different. With no longer a way to go back the only way out is forward.
Season 2 episodes are all longer than normal episodes and some of them have after credit scense or scenes playing in the credits so reacting to 2 of them in the same video would make the reactions even longer than the director's cut reactions so I think you made the right choice
For the 2nd season I waited for just over 4 years and in the first episode of 2nd season where Emilia asks "who is Rem?" And after seeing the flashbacks I immediately thought "Ah here we go again"
Welcome to season 2! Yeah, Rem was completely outclassed here. There was nothing she could do. And it always hurts to see Subaru cry like that, my man needs more Ws. Good luck with this season, you still aren't ready lol
Congratulations you have completed the prologue with Season 1. Now the fun part begins. 🙃 Everything you think you know will change from episode to episode. About people/motivations/backstory. Some events from season 1 can then be seen in a different light. Confusions are inevitable, which is why you have to pay even more attention to every little piece of information than in the first season. In my opinion, fortunately no direct cut for season 2. The openings and endings are as they should be. So you can watch these too, nothing will be spoiled because White Fox did a good job there. Some endings also add to the emotional experience of the episode.
@@flyingeagle3898 i'm not saying S2 is bad, but i'm not a LN reader, so i don't know how much content they cut on S2 anime. If there's any cut content, i wish they put it in the director's cut like S1 did (especially the cliffhanger thing on S1 director's cut. Idk S2 ending has a cliffhanger or not though)
@@baculleon6955 No new content was added to the directurs cut. There were: - Made 2 episodes into one. - Removed few background characters in the first 2-3 episodes (CG people, they were so funny to watch ^^) - i think in 2 places the censoring shadow was removed. - Pauses extended in a few conversations. (To make it easier to notice something wrong here) - Added the OVA Memory Snow (at least on Crunchyroll) - To the disadvantage, the music pieces were changed or removed in a few places. Has changed the emotional experience greatly. - Because 2 episodes were merged, I don't think the endings always fit. As I said, it's just my opinion. They did a good job, but what was most important to me were the last two points that bothered me. It varies from person to person. As a LN reader, I can only recommend reading this. Only then do you realize how much has been cut and changed. Many things are explained better. So much more question and speculate about. aaah my brain trembles. But the anime stands up well as it is and I'm happy with how White Fox did it. Some book adaptations could take an example from this. If they really wanted to get everything in, they would have to double the number of episodes. S1 and S2. But White Fox really uses every minute they can squeeze out in S2. In theory there are already 35 episodes instead of 25.
One REALLY IMPORTANT thing that the anime just skips, is "After the meeting at the parlor, Wilhelm reveals to Subaru that a wound of his is bleeding, a wound made to bleed by the power of the Divine Protection of the Death God, once held by his wife, whose influence grows stronger as the distance between the injured person and the wielder diminishes". There is a lot more things that were cutted out, so after finishing the season you really should go to the witchculttranslation and read the cut content
@@tomclanys Wilhelm has a wound that would never be healed because of the divine protection his wife had. It shouldn't just reopen because Theresia is dead, but it just did.
I've gotten so behind on your reactions. But I powered through your season 1 videos and im here to watch you react to season 2. You've been watching so many anime! I still remember when Attack on Titan was your first and only anime lol 💜❄
Imagine what Emilia felt when Subaru said to her, he loves her 1000 times and shii and commit suicide for some girl you don't even know... Also, they cut this out but, Subaru also commit suicide in that room with that small knife and Emilia saw him died too
What I don't why doesn't puck or anyone questions why subaru is the only one who can remember when someone had their name eaten by gluttony why is he immune to all of that
So you meet Greed , man with power so busted he can solo JJK by standing still, and whose single application of said power makes him more powerful than all JJK powers combined, this isn’t a joke and this isn’t a spoiler, his power will be revealed way later(as in season 3).
leaving this as a reference thing for power scaling abilities according to the author of the novel in terms of power scaling for re:zero: authority (sin powers) > divine protections (blessing) >= physical combat = magic (magic is less used becuase it requires talent) also magic is defined as the external use of ur mana in this world not any use of mana functionally (theres a martial arts technique they have that uses mana to make them stronger but its no counted as magic) this is why puck cant remove gluttonys hold on rem also if u have a authority u cannot have any divine protections (the authority literally just removes them from your soul) (reinhard has about 10001 divine protections so everything he does is broken)
Its true that there is supremacy of authorities over divine protections, but its not right to put them higher than physical combat. Reinhard is the strongest only thanks to his pure stats, only thanks to physical combat (and, well, anomaly gates). Its stated that even without protections he'll remain the strongest, which just underlines the fact that he's the strongest thanks to pure physical capabilities. Reid is third only thanks to physical combat. Yes, he is heavenly sword, but what makes him third is his speed and strength (combined with swordsmaship) alone. People like Cecilus, Halibel, Óni god, Iris and many other top tiers are also take their places mostly thanks to their physical capabilities. There is no reason for user of authority or divine protection to overestimate himself, when there is literally people capable of decapitating him and throwing his head to space in timeframe so small that user won't be able to even get thought about using authority / protection
The after credits scene wasn't in the original, it ended with Subaru smiling at Emilia. Re Zero readers were waiting for the big bombshell to go off to see the anime only reactions but we're very disappointed. After this a long time later we got a season 2 teaser showing everyone dead and Subaru seeing a new character. Then a few weeks before season 2 started they released the after credits scene that you saw in the directors cut version as a stand alone thing. This shocked and also hyped people up for season 2.
Just to say rem being in coma was way before anime came or she become popular so people accusing its because she's became popular author put him coma....It's the opposite, Content for even season 3 was written before even anime came out in 2016 first time. Now Rem actually has become the central plot point for subaru atleast to get her back,Although don't worry is all i Say :) Through all the soul crushing shit happens in show,in the end its story about hope as part of it although it takes an effort to reach ti.Rem is more important than ever in author's eye you just might have to have wait a little bit.
@@magestag6208 Stop spreading misinformation and twisting the words. All author said in old interview was rem was never planned to be in story only RAM(Not that he wanted to kill her)in beginning draft which is like 2011 or 10 even before the first WN chapter....obviously stuff changed and she's in and she has been planned from start. IF anything tappei is very happy with his decision to include rem and has given her an even bigger role in story.
As Rem's memories are consumed by Lye Batenkaitos (Archbishop of Gluttony), you see what is like Rem's life flashing before our eyes. That's not exactly it - if you go back to S1E18, where Subaru asked Rem to run away with her, and Rem rejected the idea, but then told him what her fantasy of the future looked like, that's what flashed before us. And if you go back and watch it frame-by-frame, the images used are done in an art style that is pretty much pulled from the Rem:If story that has been mentioned (Rem:If being the Valentine's Day tangential story written to address the idea "what if Rem had agreed to run away with Subaru?").

I think it was a really nice touch having a reference to one of the if story's of what could have been. Really makes the whole thing that much more tragic.
Luke, the reason why re:zero episodes are longer than usual anime is because the studio paid the TV to air extra anime content, instead of commercials in the middle of the episode, not only does this mean longer episode, but the immersion is also not lost because of commercials. And as you can see, they also dont do recaps. And many times they dont include the opening//ending into the episode, just to air more episode content. Sometimes they just add the song on top of whats happening. This is the true manifestation of fan service in my eyes
Actually goated for this. They didn't need to go so hard for this show to be a success but here we are.
That is awesome!!
Plus, Season 1 was trying to squeeze 2 episodes in one each time
Second season has so much love put into it. The reason that the episodes are long is that the creator studio (WhiteFox) decided to not give ad breaks after the episodes so that they could give more content even though it meant less money.
Absolutely goated for that.
This is true. The 28 minute episodes were great.
But they also forgot how to draw faces and broken trees. And they also forgot about shading...
@@lite4998honestly for a light novel adaptation of an extremely long arc, the way they managed to keep it coherent despite cutting alot of content, sacrificing profit in favour of creating a good product, especially with kenichiro suehiro continuing to make some of the greatest ost in anime history, a bit of animation inconsistencies are a price I will happily pay. This is definetly the best timeline for re:zero anime adaptation when you think about it.

The part where Lye Batenkaitos eats Rems Name and Memories (18:50) you can see quick flashes of a future. This is actually a What If the Tappei Nagatsuki wrote called Sloth IF, which is an alternate ending to ep 18 where Rem and Subaru run away to Kagaragi and have a family abandoning everyone.
There's actually a bunch of IF stories. Each IF story is written on April 1st (Subaru's birthday) and each of them shows a diffrent path Subaru could've taken at certain points in the story.
If you are interested here are the best times to read them. (Currently the anime is on arc 4 aka Season 2 and Season 3 will be arc 5 and 6)
Sloth IF: Read whenever after S1 BUT has a minor arc 5 spoiler, and also has a character you will not see in the anime for a WHILE (we talking probably season 5 of Re:Zero)
Greed IF: Best to read after season 3 (contains some arc 5 and 6 spoilers)
Wrath IF: Read whenever after S1 BUT again contains 2 characters you will not see until season 4 and 5 (but you can read about one of them in Re Zero EX 4)
Pride IF: Best to read after season 3 (after arc 5)
Gluttony IF: Read after season 3 (after arc 6)
Lust IF: Read whenever after S1
Aganau IF: Watch whenever after S1 (it's from a mobile game)
Or instead of reading them there are some summary videos on youtube. It's not the same as reading them since its just a summary but hey if you don't like to read then that's an option
(If I missed anything let me know)
Anyway I'm hoping one day that these What IFs get turned into OVAs! I Definitely want to see Wrath, Pride and Sloth the most! Aganau would also be cool but I don't know how likely that is to happen.
If stories aren't exactly alternative endings. They are simply explanations of what could have cannonicaly happened if subaru had made a different choice. The events of the if stories never really happened tho.
I thought lust if wasn't official?
@@jakeguillero9804Lust If was written by the author of re zero. But it was badly written to the point where nothing made sense considering the characters personality.
The If stories themselves don't make much sense, so i would recommend you to not take it too seriously.
The IFs stories aren't alternative endings, is it exactly a "What If", what could have happened if Subaru was pushed to make a different choice, but the stories don't actually happen even tho it is made by the author.
I would also may theorize that the IF stories is the point of the story where subaru gets the affinity with said sins. Im not getting into the details for no spoils but just remember the fact subaru wasn't able to see the hands of sloth before becoming "slothful"
41:27 Can you imagine what Emilia must have felt at the end of the episode? She saw him so desperate for someone else, she certainly realized that THIS IS SUBARU, this is how much he values who he loves. And no, a man doesn't need to be romantically interested to love a woman. At least for me. Wanting to be on the person's side, wanting the person well, can't that be called Love? That's why I think it's wrong when some fans define Subaru as an indecisive guy... I understand those who defend Rem, but we don't choose who we fall in love with...
Said so well. I believe everyone has room for more than just one person in their heart. infact its almost unhealthy to just fill your heart with one person. thats not to say youre depriving the main person (in this case Emilia) of love.
Subaru does seem to be romantically in love with Rem. I hate how much content was cut from the novels.
💯💯💯
@@fili0938 Subaru cares a lot about REM,BUT him dont romantically loves her.
Exaclty, Subaru loves Emilia dont mean him dont can showing affection towards another Woman.
But Subaru dont is a indecisive guy, Subaru nevers waves or changes the mind (him loves Emilia), the only thing in anime Subaru changes the decision was because him feels forced for the situation (Subaru wanted give up and run away )
PS : Sorry my english
This episode hits harder when you realize the reason Ram attacked Subaru at the village for the blank letter was because Rem wrote it and she was erased and so was the letter. This was an imminent warning to Subaru that Rem was already gone and to reset but he missed the queue because he was so focused on Emilia
He kept eying the knive because in the novel, he killed himself with that knive over and over and over again just to return each time again in front of that bed.
They didn't put it in but acknowledged it for the readers by having those frames with the knives and with his statement "No matter how many times i die, i will never make it in time".
wait what i never knew that
The funny thing about this series is that you can know the exact moment when Rem disappears from the first season. since although Subaru is the one who sends the warning letter to Roswal's mansion. he he he does not yet master the language of that world so it is Rem who writes it. So the letter does not disappear because it is a message from Subaru, but the words do since it was Rem who wrote them, just like what happened with all the objects in Rem's room. the first time she was erased by the white whale...
Skipped content : MAJOR - Wilhelm in this episode also showed that subaru means much more to him than it seems in anime, something akin to family, he thinks of subaru as much as of Crush, which means hell die for subaru
Minor - the reason they showed the knife in rems room is because in WN, Subaru killed himself with that knife several times just to see if hell actually go further in his savepoint, thats why he was looking at it several times in anime
An important detail that you may have subconsciously realized, but it bears saying out loud: Subaru has so far demonstrated a level of immunity to TWO of the sin archbishops’ Authorities. First, Subaru was the only one unaffected by the “unseen” part of the Unseen Hands, and now Subaru is the only one who remembers Rem despite her name having been eaten by the Authority of Gluttony (which according to Puck should have caused all memory of her to vanish).
He’s not outright immune to the effects of the authorities, nor is he able to negate them in any fashion (e.g. Petelgeuse was still able to throw him around with the hands). But he does appear to have some form of resistance to some of their effects.
Ooooo 🤔🤔🤔🤔
"anyway. Imma go pout." That comment caught me so off guard that it had me laughing.
After everything Subaru has went through to save everyone it still came to this, him breaking down and Emilia comforting him with the ost in the background just hits like a freight train but that’s what makes Re:Zero Re:Zero everything comes with a price there’s no complete victories
Oops sorry once again time stamps bases on the patreon video
1:00 It’s because arc 4 is longer than arc 1-3 combined which season 1 adapted. White Fox even has bought up the commercial slot to give us 29 minute episodes for the whole 2nd cour and the opening barely plays while the ending plays in the actual episode. It’s really a passion project. Even tho still stuff had to be cut but that’s what you got the comment section for!
3:55 It wasn’t known if Re:Zero would get a second season, so to avoid a shit storm they ended the anime on a good note so the opening scene of this episode actually was the ending in the light novel which the anime adapts. That’s why it also took so long in between seasons. Unfortunately there’s also been production issues with Season 2, mostly bc a big chunk of staff went and created studio Bind for Mushoku Tensei as well as studio Nexus that animated 10 episodes of season 1 not being on board this season also covid hit in the final stages of production. Season 3 is probably gonna be after 4 years again when it airs because White Fox had to sort out their staff situation, they been on a constant hiring spree and moved to a bigger new studio there’s currently no release date but that’s a good thing. A credible leaker said the time frame they have set internally is very reasonable and we’ll get up to 43 episodes since season 3 adapts arc 5 & 6 arc 6 being hailed as peak Re:Zero and i must agree
11:35 Yes the power of “eating” as Puck later explains in this episode so the pet of gluttony being the whale is quite fitting since they share the same ability
15:09 You might want to pause and look at the flashes that’s an Easter egg for fans of one of the If stories that get released on Subarus birthday by the author you can see a grown Rem and Subaru with their children after they ran away to Kararagi like Subaru proposed in episode 18
18:38 The second time Subaru kills himself to save Rem. That’s why I’ll never understand the sentiment that she’s too good for him. And shit indeed, this season starts off on a good note ☠️
20:29 Another Easter egg in the light novel Subaru killed himself with the knife and from what I understand there’s been several attempts to save Rem but he never made it but he somehow managed to keep Crusch from dying. The knife is a representation that even if he kills himself to go back it’ll be futile
21:29 Puck doesn’t Remember but he knows he somehow was connected to Rem somehow it’s a big help Ram is there and it’s obvious that they’re siblings
23:13 They don’t but seeing Subaru is there caring for Rem Crusch tried to give him some encouragement since he looked really down
31:45 A beautiful thing about the writing of Re:Zero. Emilia-tan isn’t just a nickname but in this moment it was also used to show that Subaru is so depressed he didn’t even bother to add the tan at the end when he said her name
Whoops zoned out and was late this time
I don't believe Crusch ever died to begin with. She was just badly wounded. Rem was healing her immediately after losing her arm and managed to stop the blood loss before fighting the cultists. Felix, being the best healer in the kingdom, was able to reattach the arm when he found her, but obviously was quite torn up at first having found her in that state.
@@nameless8789are you sure? In the first loop I think she actually died but because Subaru knew their location from his restart they were able to arrive on site quicker and Felis could attend to her quicker
@@-Time_Stamp__-Mind.Set-___Satella: It’s free real estate
Luke, you've misunderstood something.
Betelguese said that were 6 Sin Archbishops, and of those 6, only Pride's "seat is vacated", implying that there were 6 in the past but Pride either disappeared or died.
So far, the Sin Archbishops that were mentioned up to now are Sloth, Pride, Greed, and Gluttony. Only 2 more left.
And there are 3 sins left, Lust, Wrath, and Envy. Of those 3, only 2 are Archbishops.
🤔
@@GOTGames also there is not archbishop of envy because satella, the witch of envy is still alive
Fun fact: For a good chunck of episodes in Season 2. They went so above and beyond for the show that the runtime of the episodes not only ran through both the opening and the ending credits, But they paid to have the episodes run through Commercial time. I can't really think of any other show that was willing to do that...
Rem is now experiencing REM sleep. Aha ha ha
If you wanted to know about the knife it is from the Light Novel. Subaru killed himself in the bedroom with the knife instead of the yard with the sword like the anime adapted.
The anime portrayed how the infamous encounter between Regulus and Lye had with Rem and Crusch quite differently than the novel did. The most startling difference was greed's attacks. In the novel, he didn't attack the carriage, but it simply ran into him, and the collision destroyed the carriage while Regulus was unharmed. In the anime it looks like Regulus did nothing to cut Crusch's arm off but in the novel he swung his hand up in the air, which severed her arm clean off. These are small but still notable details that were altered or left out
I always found that odd, I mean, a scene shows that Crusch gets her arm severed and when she returns, she has both her arms again, albeit with amnesia
@fierytigergaming8112 Felix just reattached her arm
When you see white screen just when she was defeated if you slow video down you can see images of a "different story".
This is one of alternative stories for Re:Zero called IFs - what would happen if Subaru have chosen different path.
There are 6 of those in total (every represends different sin).
These are images of what would happen if Subaru had run with Rem called Sloth IF or Rem IF.
Regarding your comment about the length of Re:ZERO episodes, that brings up an excellent point of this Anime's production, so hopefully this info helps you appreciate it! - Back when this season ended, I sat down and charted out precisely how much extra content those behind this series have given us all along. (Nerdy-math details are that I added up and averaged how much time "normal" Anime episodes run vs. how much of that is taken up by recaps, the OP song, and the ED song, then noted down and compared that to the runtime of every Re:ZERO episode, and noted when/if the episode used an OP or ED.) The results were as follows:
The TLDNR is, in Season 1, Re:ZERO gives the audience a total of 1 hour 10 minutes and 30 seconds of EXTRA story. Another way to view that is, they gave us the equivalent of an extra three whole 23:30 episodes with no OP, ED, or recap.
Season 2 Part 1 (which bear in mind is only 13 episodes) gave us 1h 3m 10s of extra air time, or if you like, three uninterrupted 21:03 long episodes.
Season 2 Part 2 (only 12 episodes) gave us... 1h 31m 34s of extra content. The equivalent of four extra 22:53 long episodes, with no padding.
This is ASTOUNDING, when you consider that from a production standpoint, they had OPs+EDs made (art, animation, and the songs), paid for them to be made, AND DIDN'T USE THEM every episode, on top of nearly every episode EXCEEDING the usual broadcast TV length of an Anime episode, meaning that while this aired live on broadcast TV, they _cut into commercial airtime_ in order to give the audience the story they wanted to tell.
Studio White Fox & their Producers (KADOKAWA among others) really went to bat with Re:ZERO, to ensure we got as much story as possible in this form of media.
Damn good to see a fellow diehard re zero fan. Appreciate your valid data. I hope luke sees this
15:34 from what betelguese said to subaru the first two loops the sin archbishop of pride does not exist yet becuae "the seat of pride is the only one still open" pride cant show up until the seat of pride is filled
In the LN version of this episode during her very short and one sided fight against Greed and Gluttony Rem thought to herself that she hopes when Subaru finds out she had died that it would send a small ripple through his heart since she thinks her death wouldn't bother him much given that he has Emilia. Very tragic that she never knew just how much she truly means to him 😢
The blank letter was written by Rem btw that’s why the writing disappeared when Gluttony erased her existence
I am here just to say that Rem is the best girl. Ever.
PS: It is not shown in the anime but in novels, Subaru killed himself a lot of times trying to change the save point. It never happened. The knife is a reference to that.
I did not know that. Holy fuck that is dark and depressing. Poor Subaru :(
rezero spoilars of s2
otto is best girl
I liked more Emília (she much more interesting character and has much more nuances in my opinion)
But i like Rem too tho.
ley batenkaitos, regulus, betelgeuse, subaru.... are you seeing a pattern here? all are named after stars in the sky in our world
"Of the six sin archbishops, only Pride's seat remains vacant." -Betelgeuse
a curious thing about the archbishops of the witch cult. is that each of her names corresponds to a constellation of our stars. Like Subaru's neck name is also that of the constellation of the Pleiades as he himself says in the Snow Memory OVA. and the reason why he became a fan of them!
he named his neck?
Keep in mind that Puck has a connection to "this girl" (Rem - but Puck never calls her that) because she's Ram's twin sister - and anyone that knows Ram can put 2+2 together on the fact that they're sisters, even if that can't remember who Rem is.
Something I learned recently: Did you ever figure out why the letter that went to Emilia's camp was blank? Who wrote that letter? When you consider the time frame, Rem and Crusch left immediately after the white whale battle while Subaru was still organizing everyone, waiting on Julius, getting the plan ready and having everyone get into position. By the time it came to explaining the blank letter to Subaru, Rem's name and memories were eaten. Rem wrote the letter and it went blank when she was 'deleted' from history, hence why everyone remembers it that way.
Can’t wait for this. Season 2 will drag you down to the lowest of lows but also raise you up to the highest of highs. The story can get pretty convoluted in this season compared to the last one so don’t be afraid to ask questions to better help understand what’s going on if you need to.
Can you explain why Puck said he is connected to Rem? And why did he not forget that this connection exist, after Rem's name got erased? And why does nobody questioning Subaru, why he still remember Rem?
I kinda dislike Season 2 because of stuff like this.
@@XpurkapiXPuck doesn’t remember Rem, he simply has a basic understanding of Gluttony. He just knows she’s supposed to be important to him. As for why nobody questions Subaru. It’s not really explained but it boils down to everyone trusting him. As well as knowing he’s different from everyone else, hope this helps.
@@XpurkapiX connection as to "i should know this person"
no one questions him, or rather, he always says weird things "the whale will appear here because my metia says so". the whole point is.. the people close to him are so accustomed to him being weird that him "remembering someone that should not be remembered" isn't the weirdest thing about him. Plus, there are hits that he has "resistance" against this "sins powers" (him being able to see the unseeing hand, and spoiler spoiler blabla in the future).
Sorry if bad writing, not the best at english class in my school xD
I'll ask away whenever I have questions... So most of the time! 😂
Everyone should watch the full(with lyrics) realize opening song after this episode because it shows Subaru's mindset due to losing Rem. People think it's about Emilia, but it's clearly about how Subaru is so determined not to lose anyone else because of this, and how much more aware of and afraid of the limits of return by death he is as well! For example, some people treat future episodes as if they will know exactly when a checkpoint changes and SURELY that person isn't gone for good!
But I'm not spoiling anything here, my point is just that whatever happened, after this Subaru was at this point MUCH more afraid of a checkpoint changing as it did with his suicide over Rem's body, so factor that into his mindset and reactions. He didn't give as much thought to whether checkpoints changed because he didn't die and it's even something which watchers get upset about in episodes 14 to 18, since while he inevitably did die in the bad ends he wasn't actively looking for it or was just plain insane(see episode 15 when he wanders through the village with Rem's body, he wasn't thinking straight at all and kept himself together with hatred for Petelgeuse).
Subaru from this point on is much more actively thinking about who he might lose by just happening to stay alive at the wrong moment. So the knife is a good signal for that, although he has reasons for it he's much more suicidal than before.
season 2 will contained tons of information to catch up, me currently watching season 2 for the second time and still having a hard time processing every new problems and events, every single second feel like there are at least 3 events happening simultaneasly, plus 25 episodes for the whole season
truly makes my brain trembles
Simple way to understand the power of the Sin Archbishops:
If Petelgeuse is a 100
The Archbishop of Gluttony (Lye) be a 10,000
The Archbishop of Greed (Regulus) would be 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Petelguess just forcing becoming a archbishop the sloth rejected him or not fully sloth that's why he lose easily
100 undecillion
petelguese is not compatible with sloth because he himself is a hard-worker, not slothful....so he's weak with his powers!
not enough zero for regulus 😭😭😭
yeah Regulus is the strongest person in the world, except satella an vainglory, nobody can kill him without subaru and his knowledge
You are asking if 2nd season will be messed up...
No, it's not. It only about a lasagna-loving cat and cute bunnies...
It's about cute bunnies and waifus that you can trust 100%
22:48
HAHAHAHA yea that "shit" sums up about the entire experience of this season
great reaction vid, cant wait to see the rest
One problem with re zero is that nobody questions why Subaru remembers, or why he can see Petelgeuse's hands and say that Petelgeuse can possess him
I thought they didn't question why Subaru remembers was because they already knew about the "sleeping beauty's curse". I don't know about the Petelgeuse situation but maybe it was explained in the light novel instead?
@@haiphengar627the whole plot of season 2 doesn't exactly show Subaru's circumstances making him perfectly trusted by everyone, even at this point he had to get Rem not to kill him ages ago, Beatrice drained his mana when he arrived to check he wasn't dangerous, Puck can read the intentions /mood of a person so would know if Subaru meant anyone harm, Crusch's camp were very hard for him to avoid the suspicions of, Russel Fellow was happy to receive the phone in exchange for resources and as the head of a highly feared intelligence organisation will likely have been keeping an eye on him throughout the story but it's such a slow burn that we haven't reached it yet, Anastasia is spoilers, Priscilla just doesn't care enough to remember his name, Al is another suspicious guy, Ferris would have no reason to do anything since by healing his gate for a while Subaru would easily be killed by him if he did anything bad, and generally everyone in this world has secrets so they're perfectly fine with not outright asking why someone would say they can be trusted despite connections with the witch cult and just acting to test them or figure them out from the outside while never directly saying they don't trust him.
It's just Subaru's been saving everyone's lives from surprise attacks ever since they started being suspicious of him so what's the point in asking? They've mostly concluded that his connection might be as some sort of victim of theirs instead(and however willing they were, the cultists under Petelgeuse also seem a bit like victims once you realise he was possessing their bodies to escape death and also mutilating other people's bodies while eating fingers etc).
The cult has a bunch of people act like suicide bombers, it's not unbelievable that they might have tortured and experimented on Subaru(and in fact the light novel for episode 15 felt basically like that, their chanting/spells and the miasma in that hidden cave seemed to do something with his witch factor which was tormenting him, I think they were trying to really make him join the cult and maybe a gospel really was about to show up if things went their way).
Luke: "Is season 2 going to get even more messed up?"
Me: "Brother... take a deep breath, because this dive is only going more and more deep."💀
Also, I can't wait to see Luke react to the "Tea Party's".
I've been wondering why the sub uses "Felis" (what it sounds like when the Japanese VAs say it) instead of the characters actual name "Felix".
It's not even a direct phonetic translation of the character's name in Katakana フェリス "Ferisu". The name being in Katakana means it's foreign and thus is meant to be "Felix". It's a harder name for the Japanese since they don't have the X sound, and R and L sounds are combined. Pretty sure this is why "hello" tends to sound like "herro" and "run" ends up softer like "lun", you pick up the extra wrong sound which makes it sound more like the opposite.
The scene at the end of the season wasn't in the original because they weren't yet sure there was going to be a second season. They included the scene in the director's cut to tease the second season they now knew was coming.
Man I almost forgot how good season 2 is
If you look carefully at 18:51 when Gluttony "eat" Rem. You can see Rem and Subaru in the future being a family. Although, only a few frames 😅
Most likely, these were her dreams.
Congratulations🎉 you've finally made it to season 2... Remember this Luke, if the episode title has a e character name, then that episode will be God tier
Her loss of memory changed the way she spoke. But nothing about her integrity has changed.
Crusch is a truly fascinating character.
The last scene from season 1 wasn't there in the original because at that time when the season ended the idea of dropping a second season wasn't a thing. I think season one ended around 2014 and season 2 came out around 2019 (or even later) if I'm not mistaken.
Imagine if Reinhard was turned into a Sin archbishop 💀
Hey, I would like to thank you for your reactions. I am a French student (in art, and animation i hope) and you often accompany my weekly meals (so I can improve my English a bit and enjoy my favorite shows a second time). So so hyped to see you reactions to Vinland Saga, if it ever happens. Love u man
Men don't cry... better say... men don't want to be seen crying, but we do cry.
17:48 - "We haven't seen Roswaal do [anything at] all, [...] are we ever gonna see him fight?"
I just finished everything of the Anime that has been released yet, and thus hearing this Statement is kinda funny to me. Don't worry. It will all make Sense. But there are multiple Reasons why he's never there in the Time of Need, and you will learn about them. :x
I liked that you had a disturbed face as you saw that Subaru immediately held a knife to his throat as his first choice to save Rem. Usually reactors would have no reaction to this, but I like that you had a disgusted reaction. Cos it shows how much you have come to care for Subaru. As a person and not just a fictional character we can all pretend is a strong entity that can do no wrong and save everyone.
After everything, he's just gonna leave this world and start again by killing himself? He's just gonna leave behind this world, full of people who respect and care about him without a second thought? This will be a constant theme for this season.
Its made even worse that the new checkpoint is too late, meaning Subaru can't rely on dying anymore as his only option. We've already seen how low Subaru thinks of himself in season 1, so this new development may threaten to bring back those tendencies of self hatred and blaming himself for not being able to do anything. Its something I appreciate about the writing of Re:Zero. Changing as a person doesn't mean there's no possibility you won't regress back to old habits. This may be the same for Subaru. I hope with every fiber of my being that Subaru remembers the lesson he learnt from Rem, to not shoulder the burden alone.
33:05 I guess it would be the ideal situation but there's something about the archbishops: they are menaces for centuries now.
In this world, where there are magicians, knights, the line of Sword Saints... The witch cult has never been defeated in centuries.
Only two of archbishops are more known: Sloth (because Betelguese wasn't sloth at all) and Greed (a little piece of lore about him: years ago he destroyed an entire village alone and he's seen as "invincible").
The only reason they had a chance in the series it's because Subaru has RBD and they've could lay an ambush.
Then, Gluttony is trickier 'cause every victim of him can't remember: no one knows how he looks.
Even if Subaru wanted to search for them he has no leads, no info, no nothing.
Now that you're on season 2 you need to react to Subaru VA Kobayashi Yuusuke singing Realize
In one of the alternate paths of Re Zero (The main one you are watching is Envy), Pride If, Subaru actually becomes the Sin Archbishop of Pride, but in the main path, that slot is vacant
"is she going to wake up?"
Me to chat : "should we tell him?💀"
I feel like there are some details you missed in season 1. Petelgeuse mentioned that there are 6 seats of Sin Archbishops. Of the 6, only one is vacant, that is pride. That is why he suspected Subaru of being pride
In terms of magic, you probably know a bit about this, but there are 3 different types of magic we know so far :
1-> Normal magic - This is the one we see most in the show. They say some incantation like Shamac or Goa and things happen. For this to work, they consume mana from themselves, a spirit they have a contract with or draw it directly from the atmosphere like Rem does with her horn.
2-> Blessings - These are magical abilities that people are born with. Not everyone gets it but people who do can be powerful. Examples for this are, Felt who did a supersonic dash in the first episode (It's a type of Wind blessing), Crusch's lie detection abilities (Another type of Wind Blessing). Some animals are also born with blessings. Like the ground dragons, or that Boss Ulgarm that caused a lot of land slides in the mansion arc (It has a type of Earth Blessing) etc.
3-> Authorities - These are powers we see the Sin Archbishops have. Petelgeuse's unseen hands, Sin archbishop of Gluttony's eating power or the Sin Archbishop of Greed's power are all examples of it.
Season 2 has begun. Have a good journey.
The reason the directors cut added in the who is rem scene, is because when season 1 first released, they weren't sure they would make more seasons. And I presume they didn't want to leave people on that cliffhanger for (was it 3 years before season 2 came out?)
Also, light spoilers ahead for the web novel and what will probably be season 3
I really like how when crusch attacks regulus, you can see that he doesn't even really notice he has been attacked until like a full second after it's been neutralized. Regulus's defensive aspect kinda just happens to him, and he is even called out as clumsy and untrained in the web novel. this is a small detail that kinda points to this. Kinda a if you know you know moment.
The after credits scene regarding Emilia asking about Rem is different in the manga and potentially light novel. In the manga they were sitting in a field when Emilia asks Subaru who Rem is.
22:40 I gotta I was quite taken by surprise that after ALL that fighting AND his perfect moment with Emilia, he was willing to sacrifice it all for Rem. (This is for those who'd say that Subaru is a piece of shit for saying he loves Emilia in the ep 18 - Rem's declaration on love)
crusch turned into a waifu after losing her memory card
all the episodes are long compared to normal anime episodes, they even skip the opening and ending songs and extend some episodes to even 28 minutes. they even sacrificed AD revenue during the TV airing in japan so that they could give us more content with each episode, mad respect for the studio white fox
"White House" lol
The US president animated this anime personally
@@sosaalexis48 lmfaoo im not even american and i typed that shi- 😂😭😭
@@sorakirisaki5330 lmao
Dont worry, at least it was funny haha
@@sosaalexis48 and i call myself a re zero fan, lemme just go get a rope and return by de-- *witch theme intensifies*
Thank you, Obama. Very cool.
I've been so hyped for you to see this episode introducing 2 of the coolest characters in re zero. Also the fact that greed was able to take a direct attack from crushe which managed to cleave the white whale shows a lot about his strength.
Also fun fact: The strength of a archbishop depends on how well they represent their sin. Sloth represented it pretty badly so he is one of the weaker archbishops. But greed and gluttony represent their sins near perfectly which gives them a ton of strength.
this is really sad but if you notice Rem said "soon enough a hero will appear before us to rid us of all of you." Meaning in that moment Rem knew she would lose yet she still fought.
Thanks for the info..... really Re-zero reaction comment sections are so fun , I get to know things I never thought or noticed of before!
Doesn't Regulus seem a lot more prideful than greedy? I know about some of the 'things' that he has which definitely contribute to greed, but I just mean his attitude makes me think of pride, and not greed.
Gluttony says: "Crush-sama looks tasty for a nibble, but Rem-chan is a SNAX."
At least there is a difference between getting your Existence erased by the white whale. And having your name and/or your memories consumed by the Archbishop of Gluttony.
Is similar but different.
With no longer a way to go back the only way out is forward.
Each episode is s2 is about 30 mins, when u get to part 2 u will see this, and some of them have no openings and endings in the episodes.
Season 2 episodes are all longer than normal episodes and some of them have after credit scense or scenes playing in the credits so reacting to 2 of them in the same video would make the reactions even longer than the director's cut reactions so I think you made the right choice
did he really forget that Betelguese kept saying that the seat of pride is vacant?
Scanning through the comments, I see everything I wanted to say has already been said so I'll just say this: Even in a coma, Rem is still best girl.
For the 2nd season I waited for just over 4 years and in the first episode of 2nd season where Emilia asks "who is Rem?" And after seeing the flashbacks I immediately thought "Ah here we go again"
F in chat for Rem.
You're not ready for season 2.
22:36 DON'T WORRY LUKE.......
it gets worse.
Welcome to season 2! Yeah, Rem was completely outclassed here. There was nothing she could do. And it always hurts to see Subaru cry like that, my man needs more Ws. Good luck with this season, you still aren't ready lol
"It's over, we finished with long episodes and now will have normal length episodes"
Re:Zero fans: Yeah, about that... *looks at part 2 of season 2*
Congratulations you have completed the prologue with Season 1.
Now the fun part begins. 🙃
Everything you think you know will change from episode to episode. About people/motivations/backstory.
Some events from season 1 can then be seen in a different light.
Confusions are inevitable, which is why you have to pay even more attention to every little piece of information than in the first season.
In my opinion, fortunately no direct cut for season 2. The openings and endings are as they should be. So you can watch these too, nothing will be spoiled because White Fox did a good job there.
Some endings also add to the emotional experience of the episode.
Hopefully we got s2 director's cut by the time season 3 comes up, like they did on season 1.
@@baculleon6955 honestly I feel like original is already going to be way better than any director's cut
@@flyingeagle3898 i'm not saying S2 is bad, but i'm not a LN reader, so i don't know how much content they cut on S2 anime. If there's any cut content, i wish they put it in the director's cut like S1 did (especially the cliffhanger thing on S1 director's cut. Idk S2 ending has a cliffhanger or not though)
Graduation?
@@baculleon6955 No new content was added to the directurs cut. There were:
- Made 2 episodes into one.
- Removed few background characters in the first 2-3 episodes (CG people, they were so funny to watch ^^)
- i think in 2 places the censoring shadow was removed.
- Pauses extended in a few conversations. (To make it easier to notice something wrong here)
- Added the OVA Memory Snow (at least on Crunchyroll)
- To the disadvantage, the music pieces were changed or removed in a few places. Has changed the emotional experience greatly.
- Because 2 episodes were merged, I don't think the endings always fit.
As I said, it's just my opinion. They did a good job, but what was most important to me were the last two points that bothered me.
It varies from person to person.
As a LN reader, I can only recommend reading this. Only then do you realize how much has been cut and changed.
Many things are explained better. So much more question and speculate about. aaah my brain trembles.
But the anime stands up well as it is and I'm happy with how White Fox did it.
Some book adaptations could take an example from this.
If they really wanted to get everything in, they would have to double the number of episodes.
S1 and S2. But White Fox really uses every minute they can squeeze out in S2. In theory there are already 35 episodes instead of 25.
The start of even crazier shenanigans
One REALLY IMPORTANT thing that the anime just skips, is "After the meeting at the parlor, Wilhelm reveals to Subaru that a wound of his is bleeding, a wound made to bleed by the power of the Divine Protection of the Death God, once held by his wife, whose influence grows stronger as the distance between the injured person and the wielder diminishes".
There is a lot more things that were cutted out, so after finishing the season you really should go to the witchculttranslation and read the cut content
You mean that Subaru's wound was bleeding because of Wilhelm being too close? It's a bit hard to understand it the way you wrote it
@@tomclanys Wilhelm has a wound that would never be healed because of the divine protection his wife had. It shouldn't just reopen because Theresia is dead, but it just did.
I've gotten so behind on your reactions. But I powered through your season 1 videos and im here to watch you react to season 2. You've been watching so many anime! I still remember when Attack on Titan was your first and only anime lol 💜❄
by "connection with this girl" Puck means realtionship
Remember the blank letter? remember when they discover the blank letter? Subaru can't do anything unless he is naruto.
"Is season two gonna be even more messed up?" Is the sky blue?
22:30 literally the reaction I have been waiting for, for the last month
the white whale head was frozen so the friction is lesser, also a wide base.
Finally, the reveal of the true limitations of Return by Death.
Imagine what Emilia felt when Subaru said to her, he loves her 1000 times and shii and commit suicide for some girl you don't even know... Also, they cut this out but, Subaru also commit suicide in that room with that small knife and Emilia saw him died too
What I don't why doesn't puck or anyone questions why subaru is the only one who can remember when someone had their name eaten by gluttony why is he immune to all of that
Hey Luke, think about this: nobody can remember Rem, but Subaru can. Do you know why?
So you meet Greed , man with power so busted he can solo JJK by standing still, and whose single application of said power makes him more powerful than all JJK powers combined, this isn’t a joke and this isn’t a spoiler, his power will be revealed way later(as in season 3).
leaving this as a reference thing for power scaling abilities according to the author of the novel in terms of power scaling for re:zero:
authority (sin powers) > divine protections (blessing) >= physical combat = magic (magic is less used becuase it requires talent) also magic is defined as the external use of ur mana in this world not any use of mana functionally (theres a martial arts technique they have that uses mana to make them stronger but its no counted as magic) this is why puck cant remove gluttonys hold on rem also if u have a authority u cannot have any divine protections (the authority literally just removes them from your soul)
(reinhard has about 10001 divine protections so everything he does is broken)
Its true that there is supremacy of authorities over divine protections, but its not right to put them higher than physical combat.
Reinhard is the strongest only thanks to his pure stats, only thanks to physical combat (and, well, anomaly gates). Its stated that even without protections he'll remain the strongest, which just underlines the fact that he's the strongest thanks to pure physical capabilities.
Reid is third only thanks to physical combat. Yes, he is heavenly sword, but what makes him third is his speed and strength (combined with swordsmaship) alone.
People like Cecilus, Halibel, Óni god, Iris and many other top tiers are also take their places mostly thanks to their physical capabilities. There is no reason for user of authority or divine protection to overestimate himself, when there is literally people capable of decapitating him and throwing his head to space in timeframe so small that user won't be able to even get thought about using authority / protection
The after credits scene wasn't in the original, it ended with Subaru smiling at Emilia. Re Zero readers were waiting for the big bombshell to go off to see the anime only reactions but we're very disappointed. After this a long time later we got a season 2 teaser showing everyone dead and Subaru seeing a new character. Then a few weeks before season 2 started they released the after credits scene that you saw in the directors cut version as a stand alone thing. This shocked and also hyped people up for season 2.
To reiterate, there is no Sin Archbishop of Pride. There just isn't one yet at the very least.
Now you know why the letter was empty, because the person that wrote it was erased from existence.
Re:Zero doesn't bite, but it can hurt you in a different way
Crusch still has that dawg in her 💪💪
待ってたよ❤日本から日本のアニメを見てくれてありがとうと伝えます
When some think the feels are over put ooooh boy the true and heavy feels are just about to come.
It's still flowers berry's are on the way Luke 🤣
Now true suffering begins
Oh my god Luke you will love this season trust me
Just to say rem being in coma was way before anime came or she become popular so people accusing its because she's became popular author put him coma....It's the opposite, Content for even season 3 was written before even anime came out in 2016 first time.
Now Rem actually has become the central plot point for subaru atleast to get her back,Although don't worry is all i Say :) Through all the soul crushing shit happens in show,in the end its story about hope as part of it although it takes an effort to reach ti.Rem is more important than ever in author's eye you just might have to have wait a little bit.
the author wanted to permanently kill rem but she was so popular in the fandom he didnt kill her.
@@magestag6208 Stop spreading misinformation and twisting the words.
All author said in old interview was rem was never planned to be in story only RAM(Not that he wanted to kill her)in beginning draft which is like 2011 or 10 even before the first WN chapter....obviously stuff changed and she's in and she has been planned from start.
IF anything tappei is very happy with his decision to include rem and has given her an even bigger role in story.
Yuuuup, now the show really begins
As Rem's memories are consumed by Lye Batenkaitos (Archbishop of Gluttony), you see what is like Rem's life flashing before our eyes. That's not exactly it - if you go back to S1E18, where Subaru asked Rem to run away with her, and Rem rejected the idea, but then told him what her fantasy of the future looked like, that's what flashed before us. And if you go back and watch it frame-by-frame, the images used are done in an art style that is pretty much pulled from the Rem:If story that has been mentioned (Rem:If being the Valentine's Day tangential story written to address the idea "what if Rem had agreed to run away with Subaru?").
I Hope we get season 3 in 2024
