The Final Boss of Re:Zero | Re:Zero Season 2 Episode 18 Review/Analysis

- Опубліковано 2 лют 2021
- Pandora, the Witch of Vanity, reveals her powerful Authority and her status as the hidden antagonist responsible for much of Re:Zero's conflict. Here's my review of Re:Zero Season 2 (Part 2) Episode 18, AKA Re:Zero Episode 43.
Last Episode: • Impending Disaster | R...
Next Episode: • Awakened Emilia vs Pan...
Emilia's trial continues right where it left off, with Geuse preparing to fight Regulus. Pandora reveals herself, and Geuse absorbs the Sloth Factor as a last resort. Incompatible with the Sin, he fights through the pain as his body rejects it, and attempts to protect Emilia and Fortuna from Regulus. But even the Unseen Hand has no effect against Regulus Corneas' overpowered Authority of Greed. Regulus torments Geuse, who is now Betelgeuse, until Pandora uses her Authority of Vanity to warp reality so that Regulus was never present. Fortuna and Betelgeuse accept their fates, and fight Pandora until the end. Archi sacrifices his life to let Emilia escape the Black Serpent. She then makes her way to The Seal, where she finds the Witch of Vanity waiting for her.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Regulus defends his rights way better than the UN defends human rights
Regulus is based and did nothing wrong.
Well, it helps when you have god-like powers
Can UN defend themselves in 4 paragraphs, with no script at all?
Lol
Jajaja funny
Anybody: Breathes
Regulus: *"And I took that personally."*
Yea. How would you feel if you didn't need to breathe?
No one:
Not a single soul:
Regulus: Anyways, before I fucking destroy everyone I just wanna say this silence is a violation of my right to sound.
It's quite rude to breathe another man's air. are you really so entitled that you think that all air is yours to breath?, it's like you are indirectly stating that I have a lesser priority than you when it comes to the distribution of air. Why are people so selfish?, can't they really stop thinking about themself for a second and think about other people's needs? I was standing here and you didn't wonder if that air you so blatantly declare as yours was mine, or someone elses. If you had maybe some consideration for me, maybe you would have asked if it was okay for you to breath that air. just simply taking the air for yourself it's a form of intrusion, you are preventing me from freely deciding if I want to breath that air, and I believe that's an infringement of my rights, and as such, can't be forgiven. I didn't want to resort to violence, but it wouldn't be proper of me to let this insult go unpunished. I can only take this infringement of my rights as an aggresion, and it's only fair to respond in kind.
Nice
@@frondoso1709 You are a legend
Regulus is the personification of “And I took that personally”.
Thanks for noticing my comment, I really enjoy your videos. Re-Zero is my favourite anime, it only gets better.
Seriously
This is why i hate re zero
@@robinwood6444 mind explaining? I don't understand
@@Rieras simple, regulus from zodiac leo and regulus was made to be hated by many people especially with his personality, and if you already know his past, it seems "he" is trying to make an impression no matter how bad people are still regulus is the worst. Sorry for my bad english
Pandora got them admin commands, she fr did "/kick Regulus"
Pandora is your average discord mod
“/tp regulus corneas; mansion”
"Reality can be whatever I WANT"
please dont
Wha-
........
Too OP please Nerf!
Just joking you are my favorite witch
Please Pandora-sama make one piece disappear.
Pandora both grounded and sent Regulus to his room. 😂
What do you mean? He was always back home surrounded by his wives.
@@ffffffffROTHY Yeah you're right, I don't really know what this guy is talking about. Regulus wasn't even there in the first place.
What a pimp
He didn't even leave his wives wdym
What ?
But he was already there!
Why do people keep talking about Regulus, He wasn't even in this Episode?
Right? The poor guy was just minding his own business, in his mansion with his wives.
Maybe their eyes deceived them?
just a thing about pandora, she can only REwrite things, not write things that are about to happen, meaning she can re do things that have only happened
@@RounakMzziiYT There are some theorys that she is the one writing the gospels. So basically she is writing things that are about to happen.
@@Echidnut what if she wants someone to be curious for her own satisfaction like she made beatrix wait for her satisfaction
“Ok regulus, so, please tell me why you are here?”
Regulus: “Sir, you have spoken before me. That is a breach of the hierarchy of power here. As punishment, i will slice you into a thousand pieces with dirt, i beg of you to not take this personally, it’s just that when people of incompetent and lower power speak before me, i feel personally violated.”
*"You're in your mansion, surrounded by your wives..."*
The annoying man is gone.
based egoist
*doesn't talk*
Regulus: "Now listen here, isn't it rude to stay silent while I'm standing in front of you?! This obscure silence is a violation of my rights to communicate!"
bruh...
subaru if pride : and that children is why i killed regulus without showing mercy
Something's wrong here. Regulus would never beg, he would demand
Idk why but I burst out laughing when regulus vanished
It felt good lol
I was fucking laughing when Regulus was dragged by the unseen hand

@DiaKorrus 18 We'll most likely get it in episode 20 or 21.
gotta wait another week 😔
Even with almost 30 min ep without any cuts we still not satisfied "why love must fade" ... How greedy are we
I assume next week we will get the new opening
@@delphinium7713 Give up hope. I highly doubt we'll the the opening with the stuff that's coming up.
Fans: Where's the OP and ED visuals?
Pandora: There is no OP and ED visual.
R.I.P, the opening song is fire but we may never see the visuals
@@ppang9 Maybe as an ending to the whole series.
OP and ED? Perhaps your eyes deceived you.
"your eyes merely deceived you"
pandora seems a tad bit op
i mean seriously. She dies and is just like "Hmm, I don't think so". Bitch has a ctrl + z on demand
The Ctrl+Z thing you talked about is literally true for Pandora.
Now I wonder which would prevail when fighting each other - Ctrl+Z or System Restore
Can reinhard defeat her?
Going by that logic, Subaru has Ctrl + Y and administrator rights.
@@ultimatedesbear4271 But then we have Alt+F4
@@infamous9739 Nope, but Satella can. Unless Reinhard learns of her power. He can wish for a divine blessing and actually cancel out the effects of her power.

Pandora x Echidona when? He probably will draw more lewd cuz he lost poll bet
@@markallieu7097 yes we need that to happen I wouldn't mind getting some Yuri action with Echidona & Pandora
@@markallieu7097 also I have enjoyed reading the Doujin Manga for Subaru & Echidona it was pretty good I haven't read the Rem Doujin yet but I will eventually
That Regulus theme absolutely slaps
facts yo
And that Betelgeuse battle theme
Emiya: "People die if they are killed."
Pandora: "lol no."
Who in the world had a problem with her VA??? It was perfect and creepy. It gave me chills when she talked and made her stand out
And Rie Kugimiya is one of the most talented experienced actresses there is. She will surely have no trouble with covering her.
Oh my God I can’t believe that good thing I’m not God joke actually gave me a sense of nostalgia since I’ve been watching your videos for so long
Seems you can't even stay speechless in front of regulus for too long because he'll jump to conclusions quick. Muzan vibes
muzan? demon slayer? well atleast he appears to be cool, meanwhile muzan was a disappointment for me (in manga).
no character other than being evil and a scaredy cat who fears death more than anyone
and I hope alot from regulus
Her forehead is the secret to her power.
Side Note: This is a joke, I know anime onlies lose their goddamn minds if they thought they'd been spoiled even if they're not.
Haha thats why Saitama lose his limmiter... He Is Bald
Fuk can't believe I got spoiled :(
I don't mind spoiler
Fk u shut up.
Oh No ! I got spoiled. I hate you
Regulus disappearing is like when your mom tells you to go to your room and don't listen to her.
Pandora: Leave
Regulus: No
Pandora: Did I stutter?
Man this episode was Truly a masterpiece as always the fight scene with Betelgeuse & Regulus was just spot on Awesome especially with the emotional intention between Fortuna & Emilia was very emotional that I almost felt like tearing up a little
Pandora has talk-no-jutsu confirmed.
You're literally the only UA-camr I've subscribed to in all my years of using UA-cam.
Really love your re zero content and I'm just praying nothing happens to your channel.
Thank you Echidnut still making videos not abandoning us fans 💙💙💙
Thank you!

Subaru and Beatrice make for a power combo in terms of magic.
@@thomasallen9974 subaru can't use magic right?
@@barusu4492 Subaru can no longer use magic, he could in the past, but his gate collapsed
@@barusu4492 ah, you will see
I really enjoyed how they put the pacing in this episode, instead of covering the full sanctuary backstory halfway through emilias backstory like in the light novel they left it to be fully focused on in future episodes.
Pandora CTRL+D’ing Regulus was oddly the most hilarious scene that happened.
Echidnut: 8:16 So let's hope Subaru will use protection,
"Something wrong i can feel it"
Subaru collects Lolis like infinity stones.
He's gonna get literally called the「Lolimancer」(literally "Loli user" in JP)
0:12 i feel like he's addressing someone in particular
😳
Im a lot more upset than I should be that they didn’t name the episode “The day Alpha Orionis Laughed.”
Me too man me too
The france version of Crunchyroll had that title the english version is always the one that messes up on subtle stuff, or have weird error.
I mean it almost means the same thing. Also a lot of anime onlies don't know much about constellations so I can understand that...
only crunchyroll messed that up prob
the anime-onlys would be even more confused lmao
I’m Japanese.
(Sorry, my English is not well.)
I am familiar with Re:zero too.
Your UA-cam is easy to understand.
Continue to looking forward to seeing it.
(By the way, I want to see under Pandora’s cloth...)
Me too man
Wow damn
Pandora is even more beautiful than I imagined her to be in the web novel!
same lol
I always thought of pandora as a loli with long hair but I never imagined that her only piece of clothing would be an oversized skirt.

It was cool watching Geuse go berserk and doing all he could to protect Emilia and Fortuna, even if it meant losing all he had... "Ai... Subarashii"
I just wanna say I’ve been watching all your videos man and I’m in love. I’m anime only but am completely obsessed with this show. I love your analysis and reviews. Pandora and Regulus showing up was probably my favorite moment from S2
So much respect to you for still being positive after everything that's happening. We're probably all struggling right now with all sorts of personal problems, but seeing people like you inspires us to also try to be positive!
Been waiting all day for this bud
Are you gonna make a vid on this or was the livestream the vid on this?
Ngl I got goosebumps as soon as regulus just disappeared
Beatrice's beautiful death and the "surrounded by his wives" line are my favorite scenes this season
They outdid the source material imo
the effort and quality in this video is crazy! especially in such a short time, keep up the great work
Thanks a ton!
This whole episode kind of restructured the way I viewed the world of Re:Zero. It's like everything we've seen up to this point is all connected to this one chain of events presented here, and that the one pulling the strings behind it all is the witch loli. The only thing that could make this better is if we could actually see the OP for once but I guess I'll be waiting on that one for a while.
you are gonna see another person that is as powerful a
s pandora soon....
@Ákos M. oh. is it mentioned in arcs 5 or 6 that hes weaker? sorry ive completed until arc 4
@Ákos M. He's only a little weaker than her.
@@ultimatedesbear4271 oh i see themks
@Ákos M. We still don't know that. His power is pretty op too
In the moment I've seen her I was like"Goddamn, I really want a doujin of her"i don't know if I should feel disappointed with myself...
I don't know, but....
She probably indulges in acts of debauchery offscreen in more explicit ways than you can imagine, all with that vainglorious facial expression she has, all the while.
I was looking forward to your review! Watching your videos adds even more depth to the show. Thank you for making them :)
So are we just gonna ignore the foreshadowing with Fortuna and puck? Both are Emilia’s parental figure, both are skilled with ice magic (Granted Puck is far stronger) and at the end Fortuna called Emilia “Lia” just like Puck does. Either Fortuna ends up turning into Puck somehow or they’re connected in some way.
Puck is a male hmmm..
I don't think so, because SPOILER

Puck is an Artificial Spirit created by Echidna. Unless Echidna is really a Tsundere, and got Fortuna soul or something, and put it in a cat form just to make her be able to reconnect with Emilia.
@@Miinyri puck is created 400 years ago and after that shortly echidna died while fortuna and emilia lived in the forest 100 years before subaru got isekai so your theory is wrong.
also the way she talks (at least in japanese voice) is super similar. I do feel like this can't just be coincidence, they might not exactly be the same person but surely some kind of connection...
@@aladdin8423 It's just symbolic, I can assure you. That her parental figures are talking to her in the same manner.
I love watching the new ep and than watching your review right after. Fave part of my day. Thanks for your amazing content
Everyone exists:
regulus: my rightssssss
damn,such a nice rezero video and great explanations.I had completely forgotten that beatrice felt sad after hearing archbisops of sloth death. This show will hit different after a rewatch

But she didn't have the power to rewirte reality. Priscilla has an incredible luck. Thats why she said that.
@@TimeNVoid
Spoiler kinda too
ohhh ok I assumed it was a power similar to Reinhardt how he is loved by mana and she might’ve been the same but in a different slice of life type of way
@@ExaltedRealm A spoiler I think?
Hmm, hmm. She also only has one divine blessing. Thats what make her powerful in physical. But she still far below Pandora.
Pandora is basically the Thanos of Re:Zero.
but with limitless snaps, no need for a gauntlet which could be used by someone else, and with a cute design that still somehow fits with her quite terrifying personality when added to her role
Panda doesnt have offensive capabilities like Thanos. She indirectly attacks. Now Reinhard would be Thanos.
@@SeudXe Except Pandora can rewrite reality but have a weak physical capability.
@@TimeNVoid I dont get what point you’re making
@@SeudXe Basically the same as yours but with extra thingy
Holy crap, this was by far the best episode of S2. The voice actors are just on another level too. Just wow.
You're doing a great job man, I enjoy the videos a lot. Not only are they very funny, but you also manage to pack a ton of extra, useful information into them, and in a way that's not spoilery or that could detract from the viewing experience.
I appreciate that!
Dude, your reviews make me as hyped as when a new episode comes out, the narration and the editing skills are always on point, it rly makes it very enjoyable to watch after the weekly episode, its like getting that perfect dessert after the main dish! Keep up the good work, best re zero content out there without a doubt. (On a side note, not sure what your thoughts are on this but perhaps you should consider creating a discord for the community)
She is one of the antagonist and it's really unsettling to watch how polite she is.
I look forward to these every week
Was really hyped for this video love the breakdowns
Pandora: Reality is often dissapointing, but now... Reality can be whatever I want.
Also: melancholy is also a “historic” sin, much like vainglory it was removed later on. How sad...

Love the videos Echidnut
I couldn't guess that Harime Nui's theme would fit Daphne so well. Good work!
What I found terrifying about her was that she not only poofed away regulus and removed everything he did but also could kept one thing he did do which was make guese absorb the witch factor.
Yep. Even our MC op power can't match that.
Thanks for the content!
Keep it up👍
I love your videos man, how can you make such quality content that always manages to make me laugh every single week. Keep up the good work g
Thanks a ton!
I watched Re:Zero when I was 13, right? It makes sense for me to cry over heartbreaking revelations within an anime in that age, right? We've all been through that phase.
That was 4 years ago. I'm 17. Times have changed and I've seen a lot more anime now. The only ones I've vividly cried over were Charlotte and Weathering With You, reasonable though, yeah? Those are meant to break people, but with some mercy of piecing them together again with a happy ending.
But, after all this time, 4 years. 4 fucking years.
I somehow actually stressed, shed tears, and begged, that nothing happens to Fortuna and Geuse. After so much wholesome, lovely experiences that I have seen last week, I have grown emotionally attached to this blissful peace that Baby Emilia is living in.
But to see it destroyed... the anxiety... as much as I hated Regulus, the fact that I'm afraid of him lashing out and hurting them just shivers my spine. Now, I can see why there's such a love-hate relationship with this story.
Boy I hope you survive the next episode.
@@ultimatedesbear4271 He won't I guess.
I see you have fully experienced why the true name of this show is 'Suffering: The Animation'
Finally somebody talking about the music, even if only in brief. The moment when Corneas breaks out of the giant crystal/ice/whatever (~9m48s) signals one of the most riveting music cues I've ever heard in anime, or indeed any medium. The talent on display to conjure that chord progression, a perfect mix of mobility, grandeur and desperation, cannot be understated. I'm torn on whether I want to hear it reused later (the series does this a lot) or saved exclusively for this special moment. In an ideal world, we'll hear it _reiterated_ later but not outright recycled.
yo I’m happy u brought up that adorable story with Roswaal, Beatrice, and Echidna. It made me like Roswaal a lot more and just like the other story of its kind with the Elior Forest family team, made me wish the characters in it could be as sweet and loving with each other as back then.
And thanks for the heads up on break time! That’s so cool they’re using more lore stuff!
I've been waiting for this...just thank you and keep up the good work
Thank you for saving us from spoilers for so many years!
I cant believe theres a witch with reality warping powers
Pretty sure Pandora’s forehead is about 5 times smaller than its supposed to be.

9:28
This is so precious🤗
Pain and suffering: And we took that personally
Pandora’s VA is amazing. Every VA in Re:Zero is. But I think she fits great, and is performing outstandingly. The way she said “maybe your eyes deceived you” was amazing, I don’t understand Japanese, but I could feel the passive aggressiveness, I could hear in her voice that “bare witness to my power” self pride Pandora was thinking. The moment of revelation was made all the more better by that one line executed perfectly.
