Jagd84 said: Man I need the track that was playing when Emilia was fighting Betelgeuse. This OST is sooo good! RedaJaNai said: Seeing Subaru acting like Beltégeuse was quite a sight. Also, I noticed a huge drop in animation quality. It was the worst episode yet in terms of animation. What? This one of better animated episodes in the series. Well each to his own. wow dude I don't know what to tell you... At one moment the fire smoke wasn't even moving........ |

| Anything to get Yaoi cat out of his clothes. Must say I didn't expect Beetlejuice to take over Subaru. Didn't know he had the power to override another apparent Sin and figured those he could had to be prepared in some way. I was hoping, however, he would transform into his own apparent sin, pride though that probably wouldn't do much good since sins of the human heart are the extremes of it. Was better than the last few episodes we've gotten I feel and I'm not exactly thrilled about the break, however long we will be getting once this is done airing. Meh. |
| Sssssssay wat... (|||O⌓O;) Subaru had been possessed by Betelguese, in their last encounter!? whoa what a twist, I'm completely mind blown. I have my doubt though that Subaru got killed in the end. I was rooting for him to being able to finally speak to Emilia again, I guess that may have to wait. |
 levan86 said: Okaishi said: I really liked their development a lot as well, which makes it only more frustrating for Subaru to die again.. I can only hope the development after a reset will be as relevant. Also because Julius is actually quite cool, and I was hating him at first lol. it was pretty surprising but julius kinda grow on me as a character, he seems so conflicted about killing subaru at the end of the episode, I think if only he and subaru has more time to chat they can be the bestest bro. Yeah. He and Felis were really really good this episode and it just shows that they are actually great bros. IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING! D: It is like when you forget to save a game that you are almost finishing and then poof the energy is cut and you lose everything. But, at least, Subaru will learn from it, but still :( |

Zethorax said: _Hans_ said: No, she was crying because in that moment, they didn't see her has the evil half elf but as someone who saved them. She's never had anything like tht Nope. That's just you're interpretation,I'm not saying it's wrong but it's unlikely. I think she was crying,mainly because of 3 reasons. Reason 1 and 2 being most likely. 1. The villagers,a majority of them are dead. We all know Emilia is a softy and seeing people she was meant to protect dead or suffering, broke her. 2.She killed someone. We have not seen Emilia kill anyone throughout the anime. This might be the first time she does and it messed with her. 3.Overwhelmed. Everything happened so fast,she was helpless to stop it even though she had prior knowledge of it.She was just overwhelmed by everything and cried. The villagers still didn't acknowledge her. Look at their faces,some were discontent. No one cheered. They clearly still blamed her for what occurred. So no,they still see her as an evil half elf,it would take more than killing one member of the witches cult to convince them otherwise. You're overthinking it. Im not downplaying ur interpretation but you seem to be reaching when its quite simple what happened in that moment. She is a victim of racism and finally had her moment free from it Fappa explained it better than I could "It’s somewhat crazy but also nice to see that Emilia doesn’t hesitate to kill once it’s directed at the right people. I love the moment after everything is done and Emilia witnesses the gazes of the people around her. This time it’s not because of resentment, no, they are gazes of gratitude. This was needed to spark something within the villagers and to make them realize that she’s the one protecting them. I can only imagine the emotions that must go through Emilia. I mean she has been the victim of racism and resentment her entire life or so it seems like. For her to have this tiny moment must be really overwhelming. The girl who is known to us for all her good will proves her innocent stance by killing someone, quite the irony." |

| my reaction when Emilia shows up No mic skills Shoved down our throats And buries over as fuck girls like Rem |
| Pretty good episode. It was really nice actually seeing Emilia & Puck again for longer then 30 seconds. Emilia's fight with the finger was awesome, I always loved their ice abilities. Honestly, the Ram moment was a bit...anti-climatic. It made sense, but I was expecting her to get a little more screen time. So that was a little disappointing. It was still nice to see her again though. Julius & Felis are awesome, two of my favorite characters from this series right now. Felt bad for them at the end. Wasn't expecting Subarugeuse at the end, that was both funny & creepy. |

| that plot twist ending. what kind of roller coaster is this |
 |
| damn didn't see that coming was nice seeing Ram again though kind of wonder what's gonna happen in the last 2 episodes gonna be sad when it ends. |
| A very good episode. I hope Subaru made a save after beating those Whales boss... |
jc9622 said: Also, am I the only one who had tears in his eyes because of that ending? Author, why you do this to me? Subaru has had enough suffering. I've had enough watching Subaru suffer.. Well, no tears on my end. Simply because I've grown tired of the constant asspull "let's screw with Subaru some more" routine that the author loves so much. I felt strong sympathy towards Emilia - that was well-done. Trying hard to help the villagers, but gets shunned due to her race. Saves the village by killing Betelgeuse, but receives no thanks for it. THAT was tragic, because we could see it coming, and it made sense. I didn't fight with tears here, but my heart went out to Emilia (who is probably the gentlest female lead in a fantasy setting of all animes/novels/mangas I've enjoyed so far) Compare it to the latest Screw Over Subaru "shocker". Did Romanee-Conti or any other Witch Cult member show any trace of being able to "possess" or "body-snatch" someone else? Not at all. So it's yet another instance of "make it up on the fly" drama without laying the proper foundation. The result? I didn't cry for Subaru's dilemma and heroic self-sacrifice. I felt angry at the author for more second-rate writing. That's the difference between good and bad drama: In good drama, the dilemmas are carefully crafted, and the main character is torn over the unpleasant alternatives. In bad drama, the author cuts the main character apart for shock effect, and then tries to dredge up a justification for it. I won't discard the possibility that yet again, the anime dropped important context from the novel - the number of "spoiler" posts makes this possible, or even likely. But all this was not needed in the first 2 arcs. Why is this great show reduced to cheap shock jock writing all of a sudden? |
SGTSpaceK1tty said: If you think about it MAL says there are 25 episodes total and since we had episode 1 A and 1 B that would mean we are already at episode 24. We only have one episode left :c Episode 1 was double length, still counts as episode 1. So we have two episodes left. |
| Loved it. Things started off so smoothly and then left me speechless at the end. |

Bushishi said: Smudy said: Holy fuck, that ending. They were so close to succeeding, how is it even possible to overcome Betelgeuse taking over Subaru? He did well to fight out of that state for a bit. Emilia fights back! That makes me wonder: Often possession in fiction in stronger the weaker the possessed body's mind is. If that's the case here, could it be Subaru was able to hold off for that while because of how much stronger his mental state of mind is? Well Subaru went through various degree of mental stress after so many death and comebacks so it makes sense that his mental state is stronger than the average madman |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
Rehls said: Fappa said: Just to clarify. At the end Felix didn't cry because of Subaru but because of something that happened in the first volume of the Ex Novel "the dream of the lion". Tappei himself stated this on twitter. Actually, what Tappei said was that he wouldn't go as far to say Felis didn't cry for Subaru, but most of the reason would be in that EX Novel. You know that subtlety. :P That ED "Stay Alive" and what happened at the end of this episode, the suffering continues. Also, in other shounen stories, this would happen to side characters or the protagonists' friends and protagonist would never initiate on killing them, just like Julius. |

I mean, I found the moment where Subaru is asking Julius & Felis to kill him to be sad (though I didn't cry). But I found the weirdness of seeing Subaru act like Petelgeuse to be funny. Like this ^ |

| That cliffhanger X_______X |
| This anime desperately reminds me of visual novel with tons of dead ends and only one true route through it. Sadly, the only way to go forward is through long process of trials and errors. So much for design of this novel. |
| Holy shit, another great episode to re:zero, the characters development still surprises me. |
 |
| AMAZING EPISODE, when Felis broke down i did too, hell as soon as i saw Emilia tan tear up my heart man. I think we will see a restart after they beat the white whale, there not gonna return all the way bak to the beginning since hes already got a save point and it's been a while so i guess after the fight would make sense, i really hope no cliff hanger end but if it does that itself confirms season 2 |

Do you mean the "Death isn't even a punishment for you" line? Waaaaaay too unspecific to hint anything to any viewer unfamiliar with the novel. If anything, I'd rather argue the opposite, because Puck was mentioning that they'd only live for a few decades, which doesn't mesh with "switching to a new host" pseudo-immortality themes. |
| Lets find out next episode if Subaru got a convenient powerup from having Betelgeuse inside him, he is apparently a good vessel so Betelgeuse might've influenced him somehow. That or Subaru might've been permanently influenced emotionally, by him too. Also, how did our MVP Wilhelm see the hands this time? Especially at first around 14.30, Dust? Dust makes hands visible? That was kinda vague to me atleast. As for the headcount, To my knowledge there should've been like 6 fingers left. But we only saw 3 of them get killed on screen. Which means we have a grand total of 6 fingers whose faces we've never seen. I'm sure they'll be featured in the next reset that is bound to happen regardless of this vague cliffhanger. |

''Subaru's'' laugh. Nowhere near confirmed, but it does give the impression that Betelgeuse took over his body before he died. |
| I take back what I say about Subaru I don t hate him anymore I am okay with him. I feel sympathy for Subaru man just when things are getting his way he got control again by sir bishop now Julius have to kill him. Anyway I really like Julius this episode he have become of favourites characters. Ram appearing is also good glad to see her again and Emilia too Rate this episode 9/10 awesome episode Subaru have become somewhat likeable too me after rem give him that good advice |

''Subaru's'' laugh. Nowhere near confirmed, but it does give the impression that Betelgeuse took over his body before he died. How, does that give that impression at all? It was meant to highlight something far more important. That Subaru hated himself, and was mocking himself with that laugh. Death is a punishment if it's permanent, and it's equally bad for both a long living spirit or a short living human. That line was as specific as it gets that Betelgeuse is somehow an exception. Which could only mean he somehow ressurects or that he doesn't give a shit about dying at any given time. Even if you totally ignore that line from way back. All the Gospel foreshadowing last episode should've hinted that Subaru would lose it soon thanks to that book which happened to belong to Sloth. |
| Will we see Reinhard in the last two episodes? |
Bushishi said: *facepalms* All the way back in ep 18 when Subaru was freezing to death, he started laughing like a maniac just like Beetlejuice. How does that NOT hint that there's some possession shiz going on? A hallucinating and dying Subaru laughing while he isn't unsure whether or not it's him laughing is evidence for "possession shiz"? Sorry, I'm calling shenanigans. And the previous episode showing people acting like Beetlejuice and using his powers AFTER he's dead? If you're referring to the other "fingers": Why would this indicate possession? They existed _and fought_ independent of Betelgeuse in the past. A more logical explanation would be that they're simply other "sins" who are just as wack as Betelgeuse. I have no disrespect for your opinion, I'm just extremely confused. Probably my brain operates differently to this show's writer. And this time, I was trying very hard NOT to spoil myself with summaries. I generally love mystery shows like this, and with original shows, I generally have an excellent track record in following and predicting developments. But Zero is _very_ incoherent to me. |
| What the fuck just happened? Is Subaru going to wake up at that same spot??? Ahhh, he went through so much shit too! |
