@@IVANGUARDI [circumstantial spoiler warning] . . . . Putting a warning here since I have knowledge from further. The Re zero franchise has a tendency to play into the fan theories (like Subaru dressing up as Aldebaran in some spinoff), so this should not be taken as a confirmation. I think Al is Aldebaran and not Subaru. By that I mean that He was built up as His own character so much in the later arcs that it would be disappointing if He ended up being just alternate timeline Subaru. Without going into more spoilers, I think He is someone that used to fulfill the role of Subaru (being the protagonist), but He failed in his mission and decided to sit the story out in the background for the rest of his life... Anyway, We will probably learn His identity soon because He is very important in the current story arc.
So if anyone wants to learn about Al from the novels read the following novels Read The Priscilla side stories Arc 7 through 9 Arc 8 ending secret chapter from the Light Novel No Stella No Life side chapters If you dont want to read but want to know what happened, here is a quick summary Spoilers!!! No seriously, spoilers for quite possibly the biggest mystery of Re Zero ---------_--------------------------- From Priscilla side stories: 1. Al had an original goal but abandoned it to simp for Priscilla 2. He has an Authority Similar to RbD 3. He knows Satella Personally Arc 7 Through 9 1. Al knows Subaru can RbD 2. Al wants Subaru to become a "hero" 3. Apparently Al knew Echidna 4. Al's original goal was to remove Subaru from this world 5. Al was somehow there 400 years ago From No Stella No Life 1. Al was a Student of Echidna and learned about his trump card(Ol Shamak) 2. It is heavily implied that he is a clone of someone 3. Al chose to learn Earth Magic from Echidna
Obviously Basuru is Sage. I recall Al was ported to this world 10+ years ago before Subaru. He was a slave and gladiator on an Island for years right? I heard it from a Chinese youtube story telling channel. I don't know in detail as it is hard to find more info lol...
7:25 Roswaal promised Emilia he could remove the permafrost from Elior Forest and save the people from her home if she became king. That’s mainly why iirc.
Good attention to detail from the anime staff. Reminds me of 86 anime 'spoiling' the identity of a character that was still a mystery in the light novel back then.
Subaru got his eyes and "mean look" from his mother. I remember this because I have watched the parent episode more times then I could count. Honestly one of the favorite episodes of ReZero.
Considering that's already been demonstrated that the author isn't afraid to effectively remove candidates from the royal selection. It's also possible that even in his timeline Priscilla was able to be one of the last two standing to the end by her own strength and he has some reason that he needs to be involved at the very end
Al’s identity hasn’t been revealed in the novel officially yet, but with the stuff currently happening in the web novel it’s looking like it’s getting close.
Was there a new chapter released for Arc 9? I don’t recall his exact identity being confirmed. What I do recall is that it it heavily implied *spoilers* that Al is like a kind of clone of Subaru.
@TheAntiNihilist well that'll be impossible since Al was created by Echibna 400yrs ago. And as far as I know, no new chapter has came out. This is from chapters released a few months ago.
@@edwardthomastaylor4175 but that’s not really an official IF, like I know the author was fine with it and checked it off, but it was completely written by someone else as like a sidestory in a game, so I don’t know how “cannon” id consider it, if you consider other IFs “cannon”
Heres the thing I think they put this in the episode for 2 reasons, one, to throw people off, or 2, the author is planning to reveal this sometime soon. The only issue is that the author would have to tell the animators to make his eyes look very identical to subaru. I feel like if this was a case of this is subaru, the animators would know ahead of time. Also, the light novel is the final draft of rezero, wouldnt make sense for the anime to "spoil" the light novel, since the light novel is the source of the anime. If they put this in to throw people off, then that's pretty funny.
Tappei is definitely trolling us. Al's identity is one of the great mysteries of the series according to him. It makes no sense to give us the answer in the anime this early. Al's eyes in the anime are definitely a red herring. We've seen how he looks in the novels and it's completely different to Subaru. Their physical similarities start and end with their hair and eye colors, and their sanpaku eyes.
I like the idea that Al is Subara- somehow. he seems to know about the current events unfolding- perhaps he is supporting Priscilla because she dies at some point- but in order to keep emilia alive or to turn the tide of some later battle- Priscilla needs to be alive.
I read somewhere that Subaru is a Japanese name for the star cluster Pleiades. And you know what else is a star cluster? That's right Aldebaran. And google says that star cluster Aldebran follows Pleiades. Both are found in the constellation of Taurus. From google : The name Aldebaran comes from al Dabaran from Arabic, meaning “The Follower.” The name might stem from the fact that Aldebaran rises behind the Pleiades, “following” them through the sky.
lol, i just commented on your last video how i thought maybe he was a failed version of Subaru.. but no way would i have thought to up the brightness on that scene.. even though i did notice the close up during the episode.. i just figured it would be black like always.. very good catch.
It'll be Ascendance of a Bookworm after Mushoku Tensei. Andrew said so two years ago in an unboxing video. /watch?v=vtX7zihOt60 (skip to 3:54 for the relevant part) Bookworm is also a much longer series than Mushoku Tensei, so I wouldn't hold much hope for Re:Zero novel analysis videos.
Based on how Al was behaving, it reminded me from Fate/Stay Unlimited Blade Works how the older Servant Shirou was annoyed at the younger Shirou for being naive and wanted to save everyone despite being weak. It felt the EXACT same way with Al and Subaru. So my theory is that Echidna created Al as a clone of Subaru to copy Satella's RBD ability that she gifted Subaru.
I think there was always this possibility. He is also an isekai and he hides his face, of course there must be a reason for the protagonist (Subaru) not see his face.
There are in-universe reasons for why he hides his face, but what you're saying does make sense. If he looked exactly like Subaru of course he would hide his face from him.
Al has a history in this world. In rezero ex05 he appeared and the reason why he follows Priscilla, is because of his respect and affection for her. He has also some kind of time based power which is different from Subaru. So, while i do agree that ther is a connection between these two, I don't think that's this easy. There is also another isekaid person that novel readers suspect to be Subaru. I think we can't just assume every mysterious isekaied character to be Subaru. At least not until the author has confirmed it.
Is also very possible, that Al, Subaru and even the tree guy (forgot the name) had similar souls and where trapped from japan and bring to Lugunica because somebody or something needed a specific body compatible with something. Like Al is just a prototype for Subaru. I am speculating wildly.
@@edwardthomastaylor4175perhaps Subaru is the reincarnation or the resurrected Flugel with no memories, and Al is a failed copy of Flugel, that is to say Subaru, but that explains why he exists before Subaru
We need to put Subaru, Flugel and All in the same room and ask all three to make mayo. The one that make the best mayo is the original, and the others just random japanese people isekaied to lugunica because they kinda look like the original.
Something that struck me was at the end when you were like “He could be Subarus son from the future”. There is a theory that Flugel (great sage 400 years ago) and Satella were married and Pandora is their daughter. Satella was corrupted by her witch factor and Flugel died sealing/stopping her. All this time Pandora just wants to bring her parents back and had corrupted the witch cult, which we know weren’t all bad from Emilia’s flashback (the organization used to be good/part good as seen Betelgeuse). So what is Al is actually in the same situation and is the son of Flugel and Satella and sister of Pandora. His authority/power prevents his death/respawns him until he wins, like changing reality almost, we don’t know exactly what Pandoras authority does, but we’ve seen her “die” and then be fine. So what if they’re both related and their authorities/powers both derived from Return By Death as the theory says that Subaru is the resurrected Flugel (without memories and sage powers/reincarnation or resurrection of Flugel who was an otherworlder and so they brought him back to the moment he entered their world but 400 years in the future. We don’t know how Isekai specifically works in the world but what if Pandora was responsible for Subarus. And maybe Al isn’t actually Isekaid but was told all about the other world from his father (Flugel/Subaru)
My literal shot in the dark is that emilia winning the selection is a catalyst for something bad to happen so he wants pricilla to win due to any tampering with emilia would cause suburu to revert it and he knows this
I saw the eyes on my 15 year old crap 1080 TV. Not in great detail and contrast, but blatant enough that I said “they’ve never shown inside the helm before - this is a meaningful reveal”
Here's what I think is going the world is in a series destruction and construction and Al is the 'Subaru' from a previous iteration of the world sent back in time for whatever reason
@@HUEHUEUHEPony Flugel* Al is actually afraid of the witch of envy, although AL may be a variant of Subaru, Flugel is the first one who is, the one who has the most similarities, personality, essence and etc. of Subaru,
@@edwardthomastaylor4175 I am very sure Subaru is a split fragment of Flugel or rather the other way around. Someday they will all come together like kagebunshin no Jutsu. So Naruto!
Interesting theory. Its also noteworthy that there are seemingly a lot of duos like that in a re zero world. In the same way Al and Subaru are the same, Satella and Emilia might be the same.
What if it's a destiny paradox? Subaru remembers how Al was, he has to do what Al did in this loop to get himself back to the stage he's supposed to get to
Everyone knows Adebaran is really Natsuki Kenichi first born son and that's why he calls subaru brother to becouse he actually is his brother subaru is/was to young to remember Al and his parents never talked aboute him after he disapeard
Emilia wants to win to get the dragon blood, which she thinks might get her village Back to normal. Same as roswaal who wants to resssurect echidna with it. It is Said that the blood has like miraculous properties
My personal theory is that al is flugal you'll see what im thinking off when the anime afapts the next arc and in 1 of the if stories there is a subary with alls fit i remember that going around a couple of years ago not sure if it was a if route
*SPOILER* this doesnt change anything imo since in the lightnovel there is an illustration of Al where his face is covered in bandages and we see his eyes which look like Subarus, so they can be the same person or not, failed timeline or not, we just simply dont know.
Al has that eye color because he’s from Japan. Diff world so he would probably look that way. But even in the web novel still no reveal. Man id love to talk about about it but it would be spoilers. I hope you guys read the web novel or light novel bask in that Al lore
It ain't subaru.. go find Aldebaran’s light novel face design that people thought was fake and nope it definitely is him! The scar below his eye, the red scar going across his nose covering the entire left side of his face and his long ass fucking hair!!! THIS MEANS WE'VE KNOWN WHAT AL LOOKED LIKE FOR MORE THAN 5 YEARS!
I've only watched the anime, not light novels or the shorts. If Al has been isekaid then was it done by Satella (and did he/ does he have time loop?), or is there another way to isekai in Re:Zero without Satella's magic? What would the relationship be between Al and Satella, or Echidna? If he is Subaru then how did his mission to rescue Satella go? Way too much guessing with my limited info. I'm just gonna say the Al face is an easter egg/joke done by animators for now.
Soooo,… he isn’t Subaru though. Last I’d checked, he was a different person entirely(from choice reading LN+WN information) but he is from Japan. He loses his arm in a gladiatorial style arena and he is indebted to Priscilla because of events that happened related to that.
What is Al is Subaru who didnt save Emilia and everyone else, but was picked up by Priscilla and given new reason to live? But i still dont understand how he is back in time like 20 years. Wouldnt Satella keep the checkpoint?
So there is an Al character design sheet that exists, that has a full face reveal, so far it has matched the information from the novels on Al, and it doesnt really match the Anime eye reveal.
Gonna turn out Al is Subaru's son and that's why he's so familiar with his older sister Beako. His face is so fukd up too, that's a lot of detail hidden
Its not THAT speculated. We already knew Al and Subaru shared similar eye shape and color in the novels. And we saw the lower half of his face. What is speculated is if he really is Subaru or there is something going on and we are being set up to be ragpulled. Frankly i dont ride this theory too much but similarities are intentional. But you can explain it better if you think deeper than just "another timeline subaru" which we dont even know if they exist or not.
Bruh this is crazy, it doesn't really feel like a spoiler more of an award for paying attention But wait I was slightly spoiled for arc 6 I thought Subaru was the other guy, im confused Also Subaru's eyes comes from his mother
Al is like 40 years old, and that face is too young. But maybe Al lied about being 40 years old and is actually more like 400 years old. I forgot from where we learn that he landed on X and had to fight to escape X. Poor guy :P
Al said "I'll care only for my princess" and Roswall originally wanted that for Subaru, to only care for Emilia, mmm sus, maybe Al is another victim of Roswall!!!
Emilia wants to win to get the dragon blood, which she thinks might get her village Back to normal. Same as roswaal who wants to resssurect echidna with it. It is Said that the blood has like miraculous properties
Emilia wants to win to get the dragon blood, which she thinks might get her village Back to normal. Same as roswaal who wants to resssurect echidna with it. It is Said that the blood has like miraculous properties

Also I want to note that with how Al hard focuses on protecting just one person- Priscilla- if Al is Subaru, then he is the Subaru that Roswaal wanted this timeline’s Subaru to be.
As a decade long rezero fan it is soo nostalgic to see the Subaru = Al reignite :D

1. Al was a Student of Echidna and learned about his trump card(Ol Shamak)
2. It is heavily implied that he is a clone of someone
3. Al chose to learn Earth Magic from Echidna
holy shit. What if Al is the clone of Flugel. That would loop it back to the theory that Flugel might be Subaru or be related to Subaru in some way.

Al is like 40 years old, and that face is too young. But maybe Al lied about being 40 years old and is actually more like 400 years old. I forgot from where we learn that he landed on X and had to fight to escape X. Poor guy :P
this might sound weird, but i think al is subarus father.
It would be hilarious if author himself doesn't know because he did not come up with the ending and how the story goes there.
It's impossible to be Subaru's dad because Subaru got his eyes from his mom
sanpaku eyes
Also al looks like a cat faced subaru
Al said "I'll care only for my princess" and Roswall originally wanted that for Subaru, to only care for Emilia, mmm sus, maybe Al is another victim of Roswall!!!
I believe they are not the same person, author just trolling us
Legit impossible he has a complete light novel for his back story and in. A recent chapter he does some bad stuff
"Now, I want to pre-fess this entire video..."
Nice pronunciation, EINSTEIN!
Spoiler alert -
Al is Natsu Subaru's father🌝
No he’s not
you guys are getting trolled so hard by tappei
lol i got spoiled
but, can it be a spoiler if it was in today's episode???
Cool. Now do flugel
Oh yea, that’s an anime fan for you, spoiling it for the novel reader. But when it’s the other way around the anime fan loses it. 🙃🤪
Emilia wants to win to get the dragon blood, which she thinks might get her village Back to normal. Same as roswaal who wants to resssurect echidna with it. It is Said that the blood has like miraculous properties
