That's the case for me, I'm catching up to the WN right now lol. Although when he laid it out like that, I understand the issues with it. I'm still in the middle of arc 8 (DW I didn't watch past the arc 7 ranking) and I like it so far.
@@ShadowKoto you know now that I think about it, season 2 jumpscared me with the teleportation that was thrown in on a few occasions since the pyroxene crystal was never a part of the web novel, so I guess I can see it working better as an anime adaptation yeah.
Holy shit man, a couple years ago I was there when arc 6 ended after eternity and I said "I'll give it a couple years for arc 7 to be halfway done" I came back today and found out arc 9 is already started. I have a lot of reading to do these next 2 weeks...
Season 1 will always be the GOAT to me. Episodes 15 and 18 made me feel more emotion than 99% of all other media, not just Anime. It’s been years since these episodes aired, and nothing has made me feel that way since.
Arc 7 is still underrated. The worldbuilding of vollachia and exploring of Subaru's RBD and some of his lingering character problems is still a huge plus. All introduced side characters had a role to follow and none of them were plain or generic. Tappei's overuse of teleportation also is not something uncommon. He has done that plenty in arc 4 and arc 6. Just understand Satella can teleport him wherever he wants. Which was the person that teleported him in both instances. It is lazy writing yea but it makes sense and it doesnt subtract from the reading experience. Also new Rem is thousand times more interesting than old Rem and Spica is a gigantic mystery that is still not solved. Like you cant rank Arc 7 lower than Arc 5 when it has 10 second loop and 75 and all those interesting characters *in a built up arc*.
I dont see either of the teleportations as cheap, for the first one, Satella wanted to kill Louis, after she left Subaru's body, Subaru got in the way, by grabbing the loli, and the divine dragon intervened teleporting them away. At least for me it makes sense. The second one seems cheap, but for all we know it will probably be explained when we hear Satella's POV, the story ain't over and both the infantelization and the shortened time leaps given by RBD where very much needed, this arc shows what Subaru can do with his power if he didn't let his deaths impact him. The leaps where geting smaller since arc 5, and I still think it is something important in the story
So, I can only rank arc 1-7, because I am the light novel reader and the last translated volume in my country is 32. 7. Arc 1 - it's great introduction to the story, but I just think every other arc is better. 6. Arc 3 - I think it's amazing, but other arcs are so incredible, I just can't put it higher. 5. Arc 4 - truly fantastic arc, but didn't impress me as much as arcs above. 4. Arc 2 - I know it's short, but I absolutely love this arc. The scene when Subaru is being chased by Rem hit me so hard I almost cried. 3. Arc 5 - it is right above arc 2, they are so close, but because of volume 19 I have to put arc 5 higher. 2. Arc 7 - I don't know how it ends yet (I hope I'll get to know soon), but man, volumes 31 and 32 are so magnificent I can't find words to describe it. 1. Arc 6 - this is the best arc of any media I have ever read. The characters developement, plot twists and volume 25 are just unrivaled. Basically, Re:Zero is the best and nothing comes close.
@@xyriumelementI mean personal preference aside I can see why would people think that it's the arc where the deaths hit the hardest, by a long shot. It also does something that a lot of stories does wrong (including arc 6/7) that is setting up a transition phase, as said in the video the arc wasn't planned at first, the author very well could have thrown subaru into the mansion and made him part of the group and started with arc 3, but he made a sensible and interesting storyline integrating subaru as the part of emilia faction in a way which seemed natural
Even with its faults, i think ranking arc 7 below 1 and 2 is way too harsh... Anyway, my ranking would be: Arc6 > Arc 4 > Arc 8 = Arc 3 > Arc 7 > Arc 5 >>> Arc 2 >>>>> Arc 1
man, i love you. I was part of those who didn't care about "spoiler alert" on season 5, but i was regreting while watching the video and then as kind as a person could be you stopped spoiling for the good of all.
@@szabolcsnemes2790 honestly I don't even think it's low are that low , the worst parts of Arc 7 would be the best best parts of most other series' arcs . Like it goes from a few 9-9.5/10 to a few 7.5-8.5/10 chapters which isn't that bad imho.
@@SkeetWeet4368 And even if the lows really were that bad, Tappei pretty much earned maximum benefit of the doubt from me after Arc 6, where he made a fucking amnesia plot of all things not just work, but be arguably peak of the series.
Arc 2 is so unappreciated. The stakes being his memories and relationships is such amazing writing from tappei. What a great setup for what's to come. Crazy how tappei just adds stuff on a whim and proceeds to make a masterpiece out of it. God like writing.
I agree that teleports from the end of arc 6 and all over arc 7 came out of nowhere and that whole aspect felt very weak. But the thing (13:30) about loops getting shorter and more desperate was explained by Satella losing sight of Subaru, was it not? I might be misremembering things but I’m pretty sure it was because of that
Yep Satella couldn't find him so his ability got wonky. I'm sure the teleports have an explanation too, but I think the real explanation is that Tappei just really wanted to write about a new location
The teleportation makes sense in universe because Yin magic controls space and was being used to teleport Subaru somewhere else before being interrupted by Volcanica. That's the least controversial thing about Arc 7.
@@Echidnut That is fair but in that same mindset, EVERYTHING is because the author wants it to happen or write about. What matters is if the narrative supports it which I think, at least for the point of his abilities being weird made sense. The teleportation not as strongly and could be considered contrived but he did not break the rules of his world to make it happen so I don't see the issue, if anything it expanded the world in a great way since the arc, while messy, was a banger overall.
I love how I knew by the end of the arc 2 rating that he was going to put everything in S teir! which is where it all deserves to be! Can't wait to see season 3 and the rest of arc 9
Arc 6 = arc 4 > arc 3 > arc 5 > arc 8 > arc 7 > arc 2 > arc 1 Also I get that the sudden teleportation to Volachia was kinda stupid but there was certainly a reason subaru was kept away from the dragon don't you think?
@@UnoccupiedBoat why though? There are clear implications of Subaru is flugel or something like that right? Volcanica knew flugel him meeting subaru would probably spoil the story beats author intends for the last arc(s).
@@UnoccupiedBoatpeople aren't really dissatisfied because of getting no explaination, we have the explaination, satella uses yin magic which manipulates space and time and vollachia interrupted them while subaru and group were stuck in it so they got teleported to a random location People are dissatisfied about the convinience of the teleportation
@@zaimrana2746 We’ve been given hints that Subaru is a potential Sage Candidate back in Arc 4 but it’s still very unclear if Subaru and Flugel are the same.
One small point to add about the Arc 7 portion, while it is true Subaru's save points were shockingly close to his death points, there was narrative mention of how unusual this was. For instance the first time we hear about the save points shrinking is actually Arc 6 if memory serves, but they also made note that after he shrunk from Olbart there was some funkiness with his Soul and satella being able to "find him". There could also be implications return by death was "malfunctioning" in this case too.
Once you dropped Arcs 1-3 in S tier I already knew how the rest of the video was going lol. Great video, cant wait for another season of Echidnut Re:Zero content.
"Carmilla the Witch of Lust charmed everyone she met, causing whole countries to go to war. Her seiyuu is Manaka Iwami, the voice of Kurokawa Akane, from "Oshi No Ko". Perfect casting.
I frankly watched re:zero all because of your recommendation alone, and let me tell you, it was mind blowing! You were right, Damn dude, can't wait for the third season
For its faults (which I acknowledge), arc 7 is honestly one of my favorite arcs in the series. I especially loved the beginning with the Jungle section from chapter 1 to Rem’s reawakened healing magic since it’s one of the only sections where Subaru is truly completely alone and can’t rely on anyone else to help him. Rem doesn’t trust him, he’s betrayed by Todd, Vincent’s sketchy, and the Shudrak capture him. One of the best openers to an arc so far (tho I’ve heard arc 9’s going crazy but I’m not caught up yet lol). I definitely think that arc 7 is way better on a binge read than reading it while it’s releasing, and I think it’ll be appreciated a lot more as time goes on. Anyways, my current ranking of arcs is probably 6 > 7 > 4 > 3 = 5 > 2 > 1 (I haven’t caught up with 8 or 9 yet)
For sure. It’s also worth mentioning that each arc is also structurally completely different from every other arc, so comparing them can feel like apples to oranges sometimes since the strengths of arc 5 are so different from the strengths of arc 4 for example. It’s one of the reasons why I love Re Zero so much with how it doesn’t really have any consistent structural formulas and makes every new arc feel so unpredictable and fresh (hell even RBD as a structural story mechanic was mostly optional in arc 5).
Arc 9 is so exciting I’m happy about that cliffhanger because burn out is real and my favorite author deserves a long break but goodness knows I’m checking every single day for an update ❤ Loved the video more people need to talk about the Webnovel 🎉 subscribed!
Arc 7 and 8 are really messy, but I can't help but admire the ambition and guts that they had. I do think that by the end of Arc 8 Tappei really managed to make the Vollachian conflict feel like an integral step in Subaru's journey, and it includes some of my favorite moments of development for him. The Natsumi and child Subaru plotpoints could have eaisly been cheap, but I think Tappei handled them with grace and elegance, and Yorna, Vincent, and Todd are easily some of the best characters in the entire series. Again, they aren't perfect, but I think Arcs 7 and 8 work much better now that we have the full picture of what they were going for and what they were leading up to. It's one of those cases where the conclusion of a story reframes everything that came before it in a new way.
Otimo video, você de fato e o melhor yutuber de re:zero do mundo, espero que vc faça videos sobre cada episodio, um video explicando todos os feitiços de re:zero, seria otimo também
finally more re0 content, I will always respect you king bcuz of your s2 weekly videos I got DEEP into Re0. I hate watching anime as they come out, but you made it actually enjoyable. Nothing beats those wednesdays when after online school (sleeping) I would watch the new re0 ep and afterwards your video, esp the part 2 ones. Idk if I will be able to follow s3 as I did for s2 but I am excited for it....arc 7 was my biggest enemy as a re0 fan, when it came out it made lose all interest in the series lol. arc 6 11/10> arc 4 10+/10> arc 3 10/10> arc 5 8/10> arc 1 8/10> arc 2 6/10> arc 7 ASS/10. But i am open minded bout actually finishing a7 (I stopped back when phase 5 came out) and a8. I read the al chapters of arc 9 and SHIT IS FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I also plan to read the ln for a3 and wn for a4 so my ranking aint final idk I also have arc 6 LN but I heard its kinda mid compared to the WN. Oh and s3 has all the potential to make a5 a 10/10 cuz ep1 was GOOD.
3:16 Painfully true. It's sad imo how so many people are so unwilling to try to watch more to understand better. I think it reflects on themselves though in how their characters are as people and in how much effort they'll put into trying to understand someone else, fictional or non-fictional.
This video is perfect and i really appreciated how you didn't spoiled arc 5 end even though you advertised people about the incoming spoilers, damn, everything you did on this video is perfect. Good job.
Let’s goooo. I am so excited for the new season it’s my favorite series ever and been watching you since beginning and excited we getting re:zero videos again. Arc 6 is my favorite then id say Arc 4, Arc 5 or Arc 3, Arc 2, Arc 1. It’s tough deciding! Love them all. Im on arc 7 so will end video before then and return later!
It's very hard to rank the arcs for me because they're all so good and my opinion on them changes a lot over time and will change depending on how the story goes especially arc1, so my current temporary ranking would be: Arc6>Arc4>Arc5=Arc7>Arc8>Arc3>Arc2>Arc1
@@drp7751 I don't think that arc8 is that much polished than arc7, chapters around the end of phase 2 and the phase 3 had massive pacing issues imo, also I like arc7 as a whole more than arc8 even though arc8 had higher peaks like chapters 6,7,12 or the last few chapters. That's just my opinion and it is possible that it will change in the future cuz both of them are still peak
I viewed the arc 7/8 restart points as kind of a double edged sword. On one hand, you’re right in that he doesn’t lose really anything due to super recent checkpoints (Satella even allows him to go back to a previous checkpoint to undo what would’ve been a huge failure). On the other hand though, he had very little prep time. These arcs really forced his brain to work overtime to figure shit out.
yea, i thought it was interesting because he just died so much in quick succession, like whether his mind would be able to keep up with seemingly impossible odds having todd just mindgame him was a much needed first for him and the gladiator island stuff was just brutal, him slowly killing himself with poison so he doesnt feel "comfortable" dying i mean its obvious that he one way or another makes it through but it was still a cool perspective in my opinion and the ending of vollacia was great, making room for one of the most interesting characters in arc 9 now
All re zero arcs are s tier imo But if I had to say nothing had me more hooked than arc 6 and 4 when I was reading it Literally finished reading arc 5-7 in 2 weeks 💀
Arc 1: S Arc 2: S Arc 3: S Arc 4: S Arc 5: S Arc 6: S Arc 7: S Yes, I'm a Re:Zero glazer. Not a single bad arc. Everything crushes my expectations spectacularly.
Arcs always seem to start off confusing and we all wonder what Tappei is cooking or if he's lost it and then end up being fantastic even with the flaws they have like arc 7. Anyway. Always happy to see a new video from you, especially a Re:Zero video
I love how we get to see Rems memories from another timeline (sloth if) when they get eaten, it was so wholesome to see Rigel, Spaica, future subaru, and future rem
Nah the arc 7 slander is insane 😭 It did so much it did so much for the world building, progress of the story and Subaru. I applaud tappei for writing something that ambitious and introducing a whole new set of characters
It also has shown the worst of Tappei's writing over and over again, like the blatant plot armor, plot conveniences and having to nerf Subaru multiple times to make the arc make sense. Problems that exist on other arcs but to a much lesser degree
@@basselzouhairy arc 6 might be the biggest blessing and curse of re zero at the same time because a lot of people are acting just because arc 7 isn’t as good it’s complete garbage may reading arc 7 as it came out also didn’t help but it’s funny because the people who read arc 6 as it came out shat on it the whole time too till the last stretch of chapters ☠️

Anyways, my current ranking of arcs is probably 6 > 7 > 4 > 3 = 5 > 2 > 1 (I haven’t caught up with 8 or 9 yet)
Arc 7 could be one of the best seasons when it gets animated
For sure. It’s also worth mentioning that each arc is also structurally completely different from every other arc, so comparing them can feel like apples to oranges sometimes since the strengths of arc 5 are so different from the strengths of arc 4 for example.
It’s one of the reasons why I love Re Zero so much with how it doesn’t really have any consistent structural formulas and makes every new arc feel so unpredictable and fresh (hell even RBD as a structural story mechanic was mostly optional in arc 5).
Anime only, did not want to get spoiled. However I still clicked through to make sure you put everything in S tier. +1 Respect
Arc 9 is so exciting I’m happy about that cliffhanger because burn out is real and my favorite author deserves a long break but goodness knows I’m checking every single day for an update ❤
Loved the video more people need to talk about the Webnovel 🎉 subscribed!
Author got burned out ?
So when he will continue
I’ve heard it said that’cha and the folks of this city are awfully tough, but… Are ya tougher than the folks of my village were?
Arc 7 and 8 are really messy, but I can't help but admire the ambition and guts that they had. I do think that by the end of Arc 8 Tappei really managed to make the Vollachian conflict feel like an integral step in Subaru's journey, and it includes some of my favorite moments of development for him. The Natsumi and child Subaru plotpoints could have eaisly been cheap, but I think Tappei handled them with grace and elegance, and Yorna, Vincent, and Todd are easily some of the best characters in the entire series. Again, they aren't perfect, but I think Arcs 7 and 8 work much better now that we have the full picture of what they were going for and what they were leading up to. It's one of those cases where the conclusion of a story reframes everything that came before it in a new way.
Aaa yes my favourite channel is back with more re:zero, coming back here after 4 years now and looking forward to all your weekly analysis videos❤️🫡🔥
"kiss of death scene" is way way darker than anyone thought
just remember what Emilia thought at the end of Sezon 2 (the thing that puck thought her)
excellent foreshadowing with what you show when saying "future arcs"
Otimo video, você de fato e o melhor yutuber de re:zero do mundo, espero que vc faça videos sobre cada episodio, um video explicando todos os feitiços de re:zero, seria otimo também
I couldn’t help myself I had to have all the Re:Zero content I could consume. So thanks for not spoiling arc 5
finally more re0 content, I will always respect you king bcuz of your s2 weekly videos I got DEEP into Re0. I hate watching anime as they come out, but you made it actually enjoyable. Nothing beats those wednesdays when after online school (sleeping) I would watch the new re0 ep and afterwards your video, esp the part 2 ones. Idk if I will be able to follow s3 as I did for s2 but I am excited for it....arc 7 was my biggest enemy as a re0 fan, when it came out it made lose all interest in the series lol.
arc 6 11/10> arc 4 10+/10> arc 3 10/10> arc 5 8/10> arc 1 8/10> arc 2 6/10> arc 7 ASS/10. But i am open minded bout actually finishing a7 (I stopped back when phase 5 came out) and a8. I read the al chapters of arc 9 and SHIT IS FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I also plan to read the ln for a3 and wn for a4 so my ranking aint final idk I also have arc 6 LN but I heard its kinda mid compared to the WN. Oh and s3 has all the potential to make a5 a 10/10 cuz ep1 was GOOD.
3:16 Painfully true. It's sad imo how so many people are so unwilling to try to watch more to understand better. I think it reflects on themselves though in how their characters are as people and in how much effort they'll put into trying to understand someone else, fictional or non-fictional.
I love the amount of cups in 5:23
This video is perfect and i really appreciated how you didn't spoiled arc 5 end even though you advertised people about the incoming spoilers, damn, everything you did on this video is perfect. Good job.
Let’s goooo. I am so excited for the new season it’s my favorite series ever and been watching you since beginning and excited we getting re:zero videos again. Arc 6 is my favorite then id say Arc 4, Arc 5 or Arc 3, Arc 2, Arc 1. It’s tough deciding! Love them all. Im on arc 7 so will end video before then and return later!
It's very hard to rank the arcs for me because they're all so good and my opinion on them changes a lot over time and will change depending on how the story goes especially arc1, so my current temporary ranking would be:
Arc6>Arc4>Arc5=Arc7>Arc8>Arc3>Arc2>Arc1

Any reason for putting arc 7 above 8? Cuz 8 feels like a polished version of arc 7 so i am curious why you think arc 7 is better
@@drp7751 I don't think that arc8 is that much polished than arc7, chapters around the end of phase 2 and the phase 3 had massive pacing issues imo, also I like arc7 as a whole more than arc8 even though arc8 had higher peaks like chapters 6,7,12 or the last few chapters.
That's just my opinion and it is possible that it will change in the future cuz both of them are still peak
I viewed the arc 7/8 restart points as kind of a double edged sword. On one hand, you’re right in that he doesn’t lose really anything due to super recent checkpoints (Satella even allows him to go back to a previous checkpoint to undo what would’ve been a huge failure). On the other hand though, he had very little prep time. These arcs really forced his brain to work overtime to figure shit out.
yea, i thought it was interesting because he just died so much in quick succession, like whether his mind would be able to keep up with seemingly impossible odds
having todd just mindgame him was a much needed first for him and the gladiator island stuff was just brutal, him slowly killing himself with poison so he doesnt feel "comfortable" dying
i mean its obvious that he one way or another makes it through but it was still a cool perspective in my opinion and the ending of vollacia was great, making room for one of the most interesting characters in arc 9 now
9:00 yup. I'm one of the anime only who got curious. Thanks for not spoiling.
I get so hard when I imagine PEAK Echidnut re:zero reviews
My favorite episode of all time is episode 8 S1 that lap scene single-handedly made ReZero my goat That lap scene man
I hope that they “fix” a lot of issues that most people have with Arc 7 in the anime
All re zero arcs are s tier imo
But if I had to say nothing had me more hooked than arc 6 and 4 when I was reading it
Literally finished reading arc 5-7 in 2 weeks 💀
i have arcs 1 and 2 at s-tier and the other longer arcs are all either ss or ss+ tier , they're all amazing arcs tbh
I can't believe the Rezero guy is making videos about Rezero 🤯
Echidnut making another re:zero content is like Mozart releasing a new music😂😂😂
Man, I do hope that we meet Zarestia in the main story.
My fav re:zero content creator🗣

Arc 3: S

Yes, I'm a Re:Zero glazer. Not a single bad arc. Everything crushes my expectations spectacularly.
Waow. Been a while since the last Re Zero video (I liked it a lot, it was fire)
0:39 damn, you didn't have to do mushoku boys like that.😂
fr lmao
since i didnt read the novels, i cant watch more then 7 minutes, but holy shit i enjoyed every second of it. Great video as always :)
Honestly, i would rate it almost the same, but swap arcs 6 and 4, i really think that was the peak of the series so far
I respect the heck out of you for not spoiling arc 5!
9:09 thank you echidnut
I'll come back after s3 to see what you meant
saaame
i also wanna read the webnovel but i'm pretty sure they're japanese so idk 😭
@@wave7090 You can read the webnovel from witchcult translations, they are caught up with everything.
Thanks for watching!
I've read half way upto arc 6 but sadly I can't catch up ever since I got a job.😔
I'm hoping for the anime to reignite my interest.
@@wave7090If I'm not mistaken there is a translated version upto arc 7 or 8
PEAK CONTENT IS BACK
9:02 he can read my mind.
He just use RBD to read our mind, bruh
Im happy to see you doing more re zero content now when s3 is next door
Arcs always seem to start off confusing and we all wonder what Tappei is cooking or if he's lost it and then end up being fantastic even with the flaws they have like arc 7.
Anyway. Always happy to see a new video from you, especially a Re:Zero video
Our bro nut's video comeing out means rent is due soon 😊
Arc 1 is just pure PEAK
I love how we get to see Rems memories from another timeline (sloth if) when they get eaten, it was so wholesome to see Rigel, Spaica, future subaru, and future rem
i am still here 3:08 and i feel like you are gonna put every arc in S tier 😂😂
4:40 oh yeah you are doing that 😂😂
5:10 stop it already 😂😂😂
I've been watching you ever since I watched ALL OF RE ZERO BLIND DURING SUMMER YEARS AGO, best usage of time ever spent
If only we could go back in time to be able to watch it blind again
Nah the arc 7 slander is insane 😭 It did so much it did so much for the world building, progress of the story and Subaru. I applaud tappei for writing something that ambitious and introducing a whole new set of characters
Yea but arc 6 was literally the best arc in all of fiction so arc 7 won't live up to expectations
It also has shown the worst of Tappei's writing over and over again, like the blatant plot armor, plot conveniences and having to nerf Subaru multiple times to make the arc make sense. Problems that exist on other arcs but to a much lesser degree
@@basselzouhairy arc 6 might be the biggest blessing and curse of re zero at the same time because a lot of people are acting just because arc 7 isn’t as good it’s complete garbage may reading arc 7 as it came out also didn’t help but it’s funny because the people who read arc 6 as it came out shat on it the whole time too till the last stretch of chapters ☠️
@@LightVelox plot armor and convenience in a series where the main character can travel back in time 🫨
@@LightVelox ah yes plot armor is when first huge permanent death in all the series happen in vollachia saga lmao gtfo, no other arcs have stakes as high as vollachia saga ending.
started rezero cus of you. thank you so much lmao
Another peak video from you, i haven't watched it yet but i'm expecting number 1 to be arc 6 everyone says that shit is insanely good😂
This feels like the perfect video to watch before season 3 drops
As anime only i skipped to the end before watching the video cause my curiosity got the best of me to find out NOW how the seasons would end up and ended up choking on water when i saw all of them on S tier lmao
we r so back
echidnut do u think re zero s3 will become anime of the year???
It's nice that our king and Echidna's greatest apostle is back.
Yo anime only, Echidna got revived at the end of arc 3?? Someone elaborate 😭😭

@@Echidnut no way goat is replying to these comments still, ty king
Echidnut not mentioning Otto in Arc 4 sounds like extreme level of irony.
Oh, yeah, right, Pandora ...
0:46 Yeah sounds normal situation to me 😂
hahaha
I read the LN's. So sad I won't be able to continue the video past 11:23. But yeah. Great video
Arc 7 is kinda underated , in my opinion he is as good as arc 5
And i have the impression some People overreact aboud the bad thing
Fun video. A reminder that I really need to read the books. Good stuff.
