      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

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

  • @Bananaficiary

    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)
