My mom passed away a month ago, so when Subaru's mom said " we didn't have you because we wanted you to do something for us. We had you because we wanted to do something for you" I cried my eyes out.
This also hit me real hard, like I felt the first part of this line more from one of my parents, and from another parent figure who asked me to have a family, simply for the first part of this line.
I'm sorry for your loss, man. This episode in general had a pretty big impact on me too since I could relate to a lot of what Subaru was going through. My father died four years ago, around the same time that I was going through a particularly severe bout of depression. I spent so much of my teen years just going to school, (and, due to a lack of motivation, I wasn't doing very well at all. In fact, on a lot of days I would just find any excuse available to dodge school altogether), coming home, and then shutting myself away in my room until the next morning. What hurt the most about losing my dad was that he was a really big help in coming to realize what I was taking for granted, and he was one of the main reasons I was able to get better over time. I never really got to tell him how grateful I was for him being there for me, and I regretted that for a long time afterward. For the first few months after he passed away, I would see him in my dreams; we would hang out and laugh just like we used to, and in between all of his joking and banter, he seemed to possess a monk-like sense of wisdom and contentment, just as he did in life. When I watched this episode, it brought back a lot of memories and buried emotions from back then. I'm not gonna lie, even though I already read through this part in the web novel, they still managed to make me cry like a little bitch _again._ Smh
Hold up, Echidna wearing the school uniform means she saw Subaru’s past world and saw the concept of school girls and decided that the school girl uniform was cute and put it on even though she’d just seen it. That’s adorable
@@YuyuHakurei To be fair, it's likely her being actively manipulative. She knows about Subaru's journey, how much he likes Emilia, how Emilia styles herself more 'cute' than 'sexy', and so Echidna might be leaning into that aesthetic in that moment to try and win him over easier, thinking he's simple-minded enough to just go for a different cute girl with white hair.
Which is more depressing? -The fact that Subaru realised he can't even fulfil his dad's last wish to take care of them when they are older -or when he realised he ignored his mom's last words to him?
Its more depressing knowing his real parents are grieving in the real world where subaru actually never said goodbye or have closure Specially his mom since shes the one who saw subaru last and he disappeared -as per interviews with the author
It really touched me when Subaru cried into his father's arms. He really realized then that he had left his family behind for another world. You could tell he had changed since before he was transported to Lugnica. In his flashback with his mother saying "Take care", he ignored her and you could see his eyes were that of one with no aspirations. And then you look at Subaru after his endeavors in the parallel world, and he is filled with purpose.
The sad thing is that Subaru broke his gate permanently when he fight Julius which is mean that he can't use magic anymore, so the possibility to go back to the real world and meet his parents again is gone.
Bro, when I realized that when he left his home for the last time and he didn't actually say goodbye to his mom, holy fucking shit my kokoro almost self-destructed at that point. I cried like I was in a funeral no joke.
Yeah man, that hits damn hard when he realized that and can never meet them again. It's frkn sad to realize that and all he could do was at least say them goodbye even tho it was dream.
Subaru reminded me of my past self, I can fully relate to his situation. Subaru is very lucky tbh, I had no one to rely on other than myself to get over my anxiety and depression. Suicide wasn't impossible during that time, but due to some things that I had made up with. I was able to overcome all of those challenges, I threw away everything my pride, my identity, and everything else that I hold dear so that I could change.
Due to Re Zero's (And anime in general) demographic, it's likely that a lot of us would relate a lot to Subaru this episode. He might have been obnoxious and frustrating in earlier arcs, but this episode made him absolutely relatable. It felt like it was me in there; my father is an awesome person and even though he only wants for me to be happy, I just can't but compare myself to him at his age. Everyone tells me I'm too hard on myself, and I'm often confused by that because I don't know anyone as lazy and detached as I am. But they're right, they're absolutely right. They see right through me and notice that I've given up only because I think my own expectations are unarchievable. Last year I had a car accident. I was on my own, and just went offroad, luckily. I was fine, but the car was destroyed and I could've died just as easily if I wasn't able to manouver as I did. I was extremely lucky. All I could think of was the cost I meant for my family. I barely worked in my life, have been stuck in college for 6 years, and now this. They should hate me right now, they should be so disappointed by now. I'm just dead weight. But no. When everything settled, my parents threw a party just to celebrate that I was fine. Cheesy, I know. I couldn't wrap my head around it, but now I understand what they mean when they say they love me inconditionally. It took me this long to understand something so simple. That's why I cried watching this episode.
same man, even the part of being stuck in college lol. i know its really a tough time to have the motivation to pull through. i guess this is a social commentary of our times, alot of young people are experiencing this, given the relative conveniences of life nowadays compared to the times where our parents had to struggle to enjoy life's comforts and such
[Spoiler] I broke down when he tried to tell his father that he wouldn’t be able to support him and Subaru’s mother because he’s in another world. Even though Subaru came out better than he went in, him wanting to make everything up to his parents, and his father telling Subaru that to make up for everything that he should take care of them when they get too old to take care of themselves, it must have felt horrible in that moment to know that he can’t even take care of his elderly parents.
This is the only anime that really makes me want the main dude to get back home. Oh yea I guess there's digimon? I'm definitely forgetting a few but not too many.
@@dddmemaybe It's not anime, but if you haven't seen Futurama, there's a very similar concept to an episode in that show titled Game of Tones. If you haven't seen it, the basic premise of the main show is a guy gets isekai'd to the future. It's mostly a comedy but has several heartwarming episodes throughout the series. Anyway, the game of Tones episode deals with this fairly similarly, although with a slightly happier ending and much more satisfying closure than this particular episode (I don't want to spoil it for you or anyone reading this).
When he started crying and apologizing to he's dad that he won't be able to full fill all the missed times that he could have spend with them, is when it hit me It made me cry not gonna lie (Sorry for my bad English)
Do you know, in author note in wrb novel... Subaru's parent become depressed after their son missing... maybe because time doesn't stop in that place...
When a Subaru left without saying goodbye, and disappeared, his parents were probably very worried and sad to hear about him being gone, as if he had been kidnapped or killed without a trace. They’ll never know, and he didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to them, that makes me real sad. I’m glad he was able to go back and say goodbye. Always say goodbye and I love you to your parents, you’ll never know when you’ll be sent to another world, lol. But for real, you never know what’ll happen.
Sadly but it's a trial of the tomb what he just saw in that world was just nothing but an illusion, but i really hope echidna pass subaru action on his parents. If that's happened I'll forgot what (____) to subaru.
Regulus Corneas If one witch can take him from his world why couldn’t another send him back. Even for a day. It would be a great way to get a realistic reaction from his parents. Though the second subaru stepped through the classroom door he was returned re zero’s world.
@@awesomechainsaw because satella is infinitely more powerful than echidna. it was all part of the trial, he did not really say goodbye to his parents and they have not received any closure at all
Croncodile That may be your interpretation, and possibly the author’s. However I appeal to death of the author. Once a work is out we as fans can choose to interpret a work however we please. So long as we are not stating that’s how the author interprets his work or that’s what he’s intentionally doing with the scene then it’s fine for us fans to create our own headcanons, and this is mine. Edit: as for echidna. Of course she’d claim that Subaru didn’t meet his family. She’s an asshole.
Re:Zero is so fun yet deep, and bittersweet yet charming at the same time, but unfortunately always seems to look either too mainstream on one end or too weird for everyone else. I really hope that after this season it will take off, though.
To be honest, he deserves to be best girl too, Emilia is best girl Rem is best girl Ram is best girl Echidna is best girl Subaru is best girl Kenichi is best girl Beatrice is best girl Crusch is best girl Echidnut is best girl Now that I write this down, I must say I'm very impressed, I like way more people in this than most anime (none comes to mind that I like so many yet), feels like assassination classroom on steroids
While watching this, i cried so hard snot dripped down onto my pant's but i didn't care, this is the first time something made me cry this hard since i was 7 year's old crying when i was about to get a flu shot.
subaru's parents are just so wholesome. i expected them to ne assholes tbh, and i was so relieved to find out it isn't the case. and this episode is yet another piece of evidence that re:zero always finds the right words to say.* i think the best bits about this episode were the bits of his dad and mom talking about how subaru is "half of them" and the contrast between what they say, yet also the similarities. it's comforting to hear, honestly. and also subaru's tragic backstory of experiencing the "gifted child" syndrome i think really hit hard for a lot of people, myself included. i think some of the best lines in this episode were: "if i had to give them away, i'd make them mine, even if i don't deserve them. i'd just make myself worthy of them after." and "we didn't have you because we wanted you to do something for us. we had you because we wanted to do something for you." and the whole bit about subaru's mother (and father too honestly) telling him she's always been watching him and trying her best to help him but not knowing what to do or how to,, that hit hard, too. honestly, this is such a nice episode. well deserved and well timed. nothing much happens in terms of action, but it's the conversation that subaru deserved to have, like in that episode with rem and him just talking. absolutely powerful. *in a previous episode, i loved the line, "you shouldn't assume all her decisions come from someone else."
dont forget "what would you choose life or mayonaise?" Subaru: "The world ofcourse! Only a person who hates the world would choose mayonaise " it sounds dumb but it's a powerfull quote and you can see how Subaru overcame his hikkikomori lifestyle in it
@Regulus Corneas That's honestly the only reason that comes up against isekai'ng myself. On the one hand it's great you have left a mark on the people of this world even if only your parents, on the other it can feel like you're handcuffed to life solely because of that and its even more suffocating.
Two moments broke me: -Subaru saying he can’t help his parents -“Take care” (This one got me real good) But the whole episode was an emotional ride and it made me feel beyond bad for Subarus parents specially because they are such good people and did not deserve to go through that. Also read that the author confirmed they got depressed after their child disappeared,which is expected,but makes me even more miserable for them...
When you said to tell your mom that you love her that’s the first thing I did so I called her and I told her I loved her so much man I started crying and she’s like why are you crying and I told her love her so much so mean a lot to me.
I cried a little when i read the web novel, but i cried more like a little bitch this episode. Hell of a great episode and can't wait to see more of school girl Dona!
It was the opposite for me I cried like a baby when reading the web novel which really hindered my reading ability but I only got a little teary eyed when watching this episode. probably because I only read it recently.
After seven hours Watching again and again The tears just won’t stop I'm crying, you're crying, we're crying, we knew it was coming but the tears they don't stop, this episode was way too good. The OST and visuals were just perfect in this episode, so happy it didn't lose any touches (even the translations were ON POINT). This is the just the start of the best arc of re:zero (so far)
They totally nailed this episode so much that I can't possibly think of something better. It's just... so... heartfelt and warming. I totally didn't expect this at all, especially from a dark thriller anime like this. They even make it an almost 30-minute episode! I can't imagine how much work they put in this episode to make something as amazing as this... From the start until the end, they really perfected the scenes, the background, the animations, the character development... and most importantly, the feels 😢 Now I understand why they took so long to release s2, and I'm definitely not complaining!
Coming from an extremely emotionally abusive household, hearing Subaru's mom say (We didn't have you to do things for us. We had you so we could do things for YOU) completely broke me.
*To be honest, this is the most saddest backstory of all Isekai anime that I’ve watched, its about the main character who can’t accept to be distanced away from his lovable parents and never going to be seen again as he transferred in to the another world.*
Echidnut: Tell your parents as often as you can that you love them- Me: *Starts to get emotional* Echidnut: Because you don’t know if someone gets transported to another world Me: Forget the sadness,that’s hilarious
Subaru's dad: Son, is there a girl you like? Subaru: Actually dad I like 2, a demon and a half-elf. I wish you could meet them they're just absolute angels. Subaru's dad: Son, go easy on the anime waifu's alright? Subaru: But dad they're real. Subaru's dad: it's alright son we still love you. HAHHAHAHAAHA
If you think about it, seeing this episode really makes the IF stories way more sad, and they hit different. It really feels like Subaru not only betrays himself and everyone else in those paths, but his parents and past life. It's amazing what a little perspective can do. Just that thought and cross-referencing both made me cry. Like, in Wrath IF, imagine if it was Subaru's father or mother that walked into the Pandemonium castle. What would they think of Subaru then, and vice-versa?
Here to break the mood:- Imagine Subaru's parents coming to royale palace in Lust If ,what would they think?😂😂😂🤣🤣👌👌 "Our boy made huge progress,we are proud of him" "Who is this little yellow haired girl is probably it's our granddaughter,oh wait what It's your wife!" "Damn son"
Anybody that didn't felt something during this episode is just a sociopath or psychopath but it's refreshing to see subaru get even more development in this episodes. Also great review echidnut you are killing us with your content lately. Remember to never give up and you will go further growing your channel even more!! Keep it up Echidnut!!.
Would love to see more content bro. Your humor is actually funny, your personality ain't fake, your not cringey unless you want to be, and the topics you talk about in rezero are legit aspects i didn't really appretiate/notice untill after i rewatched the series. You're pretty good for a youtuber with such a small following.
This episode hit us harder than truck-kun teleporting someone to another world. The amount of emotion and feels throughout from start to finish was amazing. Subaru parents are best parents of 2020 anime
"we didn't had you because we wanted you to do something for us, We had you because because we wanted you to do something for you" Damn they are so kind,Mothers are the best😙
to all of you in this replying section , may the sun shine bright on you and find the beauty of life again , its just a phase and don't worry it will end eventually , everyone been there on one point of their life. Be safe
Going back to this episode almost 2 years from it’s original air date, I have to say that I didn’t think I could love and respect Subaru’s character anymore than I already did (and I can’t believe that only my second time watching this that I almost cried and I never did in the first). Before this episode, I loved Subaru as a character as I saw him as someone to compare to. A protagonist that could survive and overcome the impossible from his luck, smarts and limited powers. A major comparison I gave him was that he had the human limitations and so much as acknowledged and accepted how weak he was, yet here he is doing what he can to save everyone he loves and cares. After seeing this episode, I now even understood more how Subaru learned to understand himself, to see his mistakes and regrets and even understand his parents despite knowing they weren’t really his parents. Point is, I think Natsuki Subaru is one of the best protagonists i’ve seen within the limited isekai anime i’ve watched. He isn’t super strong or powerful in a fantasy world but makes up for it for how flawed of a character he is and just isn’t some protagonist that can easily improve within one chapter and has multiple scenes dedicated to necessary character development. The world clearly doesn’t revolve around him despite him being the make or break of Lugunica’s future. And while he can use his Return By Death to fix his mistakes, he still is a normal human being with human limitations that can’t easily stall out death and can die pretty easily.
I just watched the episode and I lost my shit. I was sobbing once he told his dad he couldn't take care of them when they were older. And when he spoke to his mom oml.... This is by far my favorite episode thus far and in general honestly. As soon as it was over I had to check if someone made an analysis on it. You earned a sub. Very well made video, had me laughing and I appreciate the wonderful editing.
”But for an isekai to actually adress this issue is extremely rare.” Why is barely anyone talking about Ascendance of a Bookworm like this? T-T It adresses these issues and even has a subplot were the main character is confronted by another character about the otherworldly stuff.
Rarely means it happens, but not very much. This kind of situation is rare, but it does happen. Plus, Re:Zero came way before Ascendance of a Bookworm, so this was probably one of the first times it has happened.
Re:zero’s webnovel started airing in 2012, Bookworm’s webnovel started in 2013, so it’s not _way before_ hah, but yeah, I get what you mean! I just wanted to complain a little that my favourite light novel series doesn’t get the love I personally think it deserves lol
I fucking cried on this episode so hard. Natsuki's dad and mom really are the best. The thing is Re:zero is the first proper isekai I watched. So, when Natsuki said "Where's my power and cute heroine" and all that shit, I didn't get the gist of it and when I did watch a bunch of ongoing anime at the time, I realized that Re:zero really was not like any other isekai. You'd think that it wasn't taking itself seriously but I don't think that is a correct statement. What it did was innovate. And personally, I have been waiting for Season 2 for so long because I am an anime-only watcher (As far as Re:zero goes) and the delays, the postponed dates of release made me think they wouldn't actually release it, but here it is in all of its glory. This season's best girl percentage for me definitely has to be like this: Rem: 50% (because of course) Echidna: 30% (because the moe-gap is awesome) Emilia: 10% (she's kinda redeeming herself this season ngl) The remaining 10%: To be decided
God I hate how many ways I can relate to subaru. Though seeing Subaru’s past makes me at least happy that I haven’t (yet) completely given up. Also the witch call with the peas shot was great!
@@onesmileybaldy8303 well thats assuming time is the same between the two places. Considering magic operates against the rules of the universe we are in, means he was summoned to another dimension (the world he is on is flat afterall). He could just click his ruby heels together at the end and "no place like home" himself back without any time having passed. I honestly feel like subaru wont be staying with a bunch of waifus at the end.
zaku II the author confirmed that they are depressed and crying every day. But I sure hope that time passes slower and that there is a way to communicate to them in the future. Just imagining that sweet and caring mom crying every day makes me depressed as hell
Dear god, everything in this episode is just sentimental and pure. This is one episode that shows that Subaru has been growing up and learning new things everyday ever since he went to Luganica. I really feel bad for his parents though, they just can't get closure as they don't know where he went. Usually in isekai's only the soul is transported. For Subaru's case, his whole body even his belongings are transported. This means there's no predicting what happened to Sabaru in the real world. That thought alone makes me feel great sympathy. This is a very good episode. Also, I have Twitter now.
Honestly the part that got me the most was when his mom said she understands, him having remebered everything, that has to be the hugest weight being lifted off his shoulders. Always feeling like no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get others like Emilia and Rem to understand. Especially since Emilia had told him on a few occasions that she does not understand. When his mom said she does I truly felt for him.
Man, you're so dedicated to this whenever i log in youtube your video is already there, before the others and it makes me so happy for not havin to wait for like 2 days for any other react to apear. Thank you so much for your dedication to this
To be honest, this is the most saddest backstory of all Isekai anime that I’ve watched, its about the main character who can’t accept to be distanced away from his lovable parents and never going to be seen again as he transferred in to the another world.
I did not cry, but i could feel the tears when subaru says " am i good enough to be ur son?" This part hit me man, but i still didn't crying (my heart is strong xD)
This episode remembered me just how important is family for us, and that we should ever express our love for them. I really cried a lot during this episode.
Loved this episode so much, the take care flash back broke me. The fictional day must have been set before the night he was transported, the hunched over Subaru who left without even acknowledging his mother is not a kid who would wrestle his dad etc.... weirdly when I first watched the show I got an extreme depression /suicide vibe from Subaru and he gets transported to a world where he can’t die... I deal with depression and this episode really got to me and was beautiful
I cried twice, once during the talk with his dad and once during his talk with his mom, I’m usually really strong hearted, but when it comes to family I’m really weak, I think it’s because I hold family as a really high value in my life
Dude same Holy cow. I'm not that close to my parents, so this episode just made me regret that. I'm legit tearing up rn. I fcking hate this show so much dude I can only cry so much fck stop squeezing my tears out holy cow
Brooo i didnt even watch re:zero. But i saw this one post about his parents grieving. And the fact that they still show his life pre-isekai, that was really amazing (have other isekai anime do that tho?). Then i came across this vid, and mannnn IM CRYING
I am caught in enthusiasm. I cannot wait for the next episode. And thanks, I enjoy learning there is someone who loves RE ZERO as much I do or more love you man Also, brother, keep going, because a lot of people share your love for anime. RE ZERO. For example, my name is Hassan from Iraq, the last place you expect someone to follow you as I expect.
I've read the web novel before the anime debuted I cried reading the passage for this episode And now the episode itself made my cry even more Damn it's beautiful
What got me was the sceen where he realized he wouldn't be able to to repay his parents when his dad asked for him to take care of them in the future. I've always been trying to work hard to repay them and failing is my biggest fear so when Subaru cried it pulled on my heart. I tip my hat to Tappei Nagatsuki he is one passionate story teller
TheXenosaiyangamer story is great such great worldbuilding strong characters SSOOOOO MUCH MYSTERYS like why does satella love Subaru why did AL get transported from Japan from the re:zero world
I did tear up because i had a similar conversation with my mother. She told me to take good care of my father if something happens to her in the far future because my dad has always been a slob when it comes to house work (cleaning, cooking, being by himself...). He ONLY knows how to do his own job at the office. Thinking of that just made me tear up as i watched.
This Isekai, I mean, what can I say after an episode like this? I've seen many Isekais, most are just saying they're Isekais without real impact on character or plot. most are fantasy wish fulfillment (I'm the 8th son??, old man grandson etc...) , others are a twist on the Isekai genre (i.e - konosuba, Isekai quartet etc...) and other's are a unique way of exploring a character/world (i.e - log horizon, The Saga of Tanya the Evil etc...), but Re-zero punched me hard. after re-watching it all, this episode came like a howling father headbutt to my heart, it's character development that isn't concerned with easy solutions. this is not Subaru trying to get back to his previous life, this is not Subaru having the worst parents and running away from his previous life. this is Subaru, accepting his past mistakes, realizing some things are too late to change. and for someone who can just die and change things, this is a hard lesson to learn. he's now a better person, in a realistic way, which is amazing considering this could have easily been that "this is a trap to make you stay here forever" twist or "your parent's have special powers too" or something of the sorts. any way, here's wounder-wall. #keeponkeepingon #McryingRN
I don't cry so easily now. But if it was a few months ago I surely would have ´cause my girlfriend tried to suicide recently after sending a long goodbye message on discord but couldn't do anything but send messages and try calling her to cheer her up (notice that we live in different countries). Only to have news of her a few hours after but during that wait I was completly depressed, it was the first time in my life I cried that hard, couldn't even eat properly. But everything is fine now. Distant relationship sucks, but I won't give her up.
3:37 Being an only child raised by a single mom I cried a couple tears, but I also wanted to hop through the screen and beat the magic out of Subway for not saying bye back to his mom Really makes u think about how it's best to say sumn to your parents cuz u never know if you'll see them or come back again. Especially with the way things are today💯
Subway lmao.But on a serious note,I was like “please hug her...please for the love of god at least give her a warm goodbye” and I was not disappointed,he swallowed his cry and gave her the nice goodbye that he didn’t give last time
@@onesmileybaldy8303 Right, I think it shows how much he's grown that he acts goofy towards his parents like that. It reminds me of Geo Stellar from Megaman starforce He starts off as a depressed kid but after experiencing what it's like fighting for others, he tries connecting with them from the pain they shared, and from that he becomes a hero. No lie Re zero has some really good moments in it from the 2 weeks I've been binging it. Family always hits me the hardest and they delivered it perfectly. I've always wondered what Subways parents were like Only thing He said OLDEST son. So Suburu has SIBLINGS?
(I'm just adding my thoughts while I go through the video HEHE hope you don't mind) I almost cried. I think I really would've if I hadn't read the web novel up to this episode ;-; but I'll probably cry in the rewatch. 1:13 HAHA THE PEAS, the scariest phenomenon 2:49 I think Subaru is my favorite character ever, just in general. 3:57 Echidna, the Witch of Cliffhangers lol oh and also, I saw a lot of schoolgirl Echidnas in the Re:Zero subreddit, but I always thought that was some weird kink, not an actual thing that happens lol I'm loving the reviews my dude, and you're pumping them out fast too, gj :)))
Not gonna lie I love the passion you have for Re:zero. Keep the quality content coming! And yes I cried at the scene where the dad asked Subaru to take care of him when he gets old.
Re zero legit taught me to love myself more. I have a legit problem with self love, and this show really helped me to appreciate myself more and to help me realize that there are people around me that actually care for me even if to outsiders it seems obvious.
"Because I'm your mother."
A totally irrational argument and yet irrefutable.

My mom passed away a month ago, so when Subaru's mom said " we didn't have you because we wanted you to do something for us. We had you because we wanted to do something for you" I cried my eyes out.
This also hit me real hard, like I felt the first part of this line more from one of my parents, and from another parent figure who asked me to have a family, simply for the first part of this line.
I'm sorry for your loss, man. This episode in general had a pretty big impact on me too since I could relate to a lot of what Subaru was going through. My father died four years ago, around the same time that I was going through a particularly severe bout of depression. I spent so much of my teen years just going to school, (and, due to a lack of motivation, I wasn't doing very well at all. In fact, on a lot of days I would just find any excuse available to dodge school altogether), coming home, and then shutting myself away in my room until the next morning. What hurt the most about losing my dad was that he was a really big help in coming to realize what I was taking for granted, and he was one of the main reasons I was able to get better over time. I never really got to tell him how grateful I was for him being there for me, and I regretted that for a long time afterward. For the first few months after he passed away, I would see him in my dreams; we would hang out and laugh just like we used to, and in between all of his joking and banter, he seemed to possess a monk-like sense of wisdom and contentment, just as he did in life. When I watched this episode, it brought back a lot of memories and buried emotions from back then.
I'm not gonna lie, even though I already read through this part in the web novel, they still managed to make me cry like a little bitch _again._ Smh
May her soul rest in peace
It ok she with God know and you'll be with her soon 🙏
@Faeq Iqbal yep.
Hold up, Echidna wearing the school uniform means she saw Subaru’s past world and saw the concept of school girls and decided that the school girl uniform was cute and put it on even though she’d just seen it. That’s adorable

@Dank Nation Damn, who hurt you? Lol

It really touched me when Subaru cried into his father's arms. He really realized then that he had left his family behind for another world. You could tell he had changed since before he was transported to Lugnica. In his flashback with his mother saying "Take care", he ignored her and you could see his eyes were that of one with no aspirations. And then you look at Subaru after his endeavors in the parallel world, and he is filled with purpose.
Ironic, After dying many times he is now more alive than anytime before.
@@dvanepope5602 It really is.
How did you come up with the name "Maggot Man". Holyshit you're a genius.
The sad thing is that Subaru broke his gate permanently when he fight Julius which is mean that he can't use magic anymore, so the possibility to go back to the real world and meet his parents again is gone.

Can't blame you for the reaction I to was crying manly tears I'm here if u want a hug my man
everyone who liked this comment cried also
Subaru reminded me of my past self, I can fully relate to his situation. Subaru is very lucky tbh, I had no one to rely on other than myself to get over my anxiety and depression. Suicide wasn't impossible during that time, but due to some things that I had made up with. I was able to overcome all of those challenges, I threw away everything my pride, my identity, and everything else that I hold dear so that I could change.
;-;
Me too
I was close to crying but i'm good at holding it in :D
Mom: Why are you crying ?
Me: I'm not crying, I'm just sweating from my eyes.
Ye can't blink or you will mis an important moment
Ah gumball referenece

@@Theblenderanimator and yes bro u can never miss a part
Be strong. Sweat from your eyes is a sign of strength
Due to Re Zero's (And anime in general) demographic, it's likely that a lot of us would relate a lot to Subaru this episode. He might have been obnoxious and frustrating in earlier arcs, but this episode made him absolutely relatable.
It felt like it was me in there; my father is an awesome person and even though he only wants for me to be happy, I just can't but compare myself to him at his age. Everyone tells me I'm too hard on myself, and I'm often confused by that because I don't know anyone as lazy and detached as I am. But they're right, they're absolutely right. They see right through me and notice that I've given up only because I think my own expectations are unarchievable.
Last year I had a car accident. I was on my own, and just went offroad, luckily. I was fine, but the car was destroyed and I could've died just as easily if I wasn't able to manouver as I did. I was extremely lucky. All I could think of was the cost I meant for my family. I barely worked in my life, have been stuck in college for 6 years, and now this. They should hate me right now, they should be so disappointed by now. I'm just dead weight. But no. When everything settled, my parents threw a party just to celebrate that I was fine. Cheesy, I know. I couldn't wrap my head around it, but now I understand what they mean when they say they love me inconditionally. It took me this long to understand something so simple.
That's why I cried watching this episode.
Bro. Bro. Bro...
Damn
same man, even the part of being stuck in college lol. i know its really a tough time to have the motivation to pull through. i guess this is a social commentary of our times, alot of young people are experiencing this, given the relative conveniences of life nowadays compared to the times where our parents had to struggle to enjoy life's comforts and such
Stay strong my man
Stay strong out here bro💪🏾💯
Glad u survived
[Spoiler] I broke down when he tried to tell his father that he wouldn’t be able to support him and Subaru’s mother because he’s in another world. Even though Subaru came out better than he went in, him wanting to make everything up to his parents, and his father telling Subaru that to make up for everything that he should take care of them when they get too old to take care of themselves, it must have felt horrible in that moment to know that he can’t even take care of his elderly parents.
This is the only anime that really makes me want the main dude to get back home. Oh yea I guess there's digimon? I'm definitely forgetting a few but not too many.
@@dddmemaybe It's not anime, but if you haven't seen Futurama, there's a very similar concept to an episode in that show titled Game of Tones. If you haven't seen it, the basic premise of the main show is a guy gets isekai'd to the future. It's mostly a comedy but has several heartwarming episodes throughout the series. Anyway, the game of Tones episode deals with this fairly similarly, although with a slightly happier ending and much more satisfying closure than this particular episode (I don't want to spoil it for you or anyone reading this).

When his mom said "Take care" now that is when it broke me.

When a Subaru left without saying goodbye, and disappeared, his parents were probably very worried and sad to hear about him being gone, as if he had been kidnapped or killed without a trace. They’ll never know, and he didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to them, that makes me real sad. I’m glad he was able to go back and say goodbye. Always say goodbye and I love you to your parents, you’ll never know when you’ll be sent to another world, lol. But for real, you never know what’ll happen.
Sadly but it's a trial of the tomb what he just saw in that world was just nothing but an illusion, but i really hope echidna pass subaru action on his parents. If that's happened I'll forgot what (____) to subaru.
Regulus Corneas If one witch can take him from his world why couldn’t another send him back. Even for a day. It would be a great way to get a realistic reaction from his parents. Though the second subaru stepped through the classroom door he was returned re zero’s world.
@@awesomechainsaw because satella is infinitely more powerful than echidna. it was all part of the trial, he did not really say goodbye to his parents and they have not received any closure at all
Croncodile That may be your interpretation, and possibly the author’s. However I appeal to death of the author. Once a work is out we as fans can choose to interpret a work however we please. So long as we are not stating that’s how the author interprets his work or that’s what he’s intentionally doing with the scene then it’s fine for us fans to create our own headcanons, and this is mine.
Edit: as for echidna. Of course she’d claim that Subaru didn’t meet his family. She’s an asshole.
and the fact that they never got to see him overcome his internal conflicts

While watching this, i cried so hard snot dripped down onto my pant's but i didn't care, this is the first time something made me cry this hard since i was 7 year's old crying when i was about to get a flu shot.
Bruuuuuh
subaru's parents are just so wholesome. i expected them to ne assholes tbh, and i was so relieved to find out it isn't the case. and this episode is yet another piece of evidence that re:zero always finds the right words to say.* i think the best bits about this episode were the bits of his dad and mom talking about how subaru is "half of them" and the contrast between what they say, yet also the similarities. it's comforting to hear, honestly. and also subaru's tragic backstory of experiencing the "gifted child" syndrome i think really hit hard for a lot of people, myself included.
i think some of the best lines in this episode were:
"if i had to give them away, i'd make them mine, even if i don't deserve them. i'd just make myself worthy of them after."
and
"we didn't have you because we wanted you to do something for us. we had you because we wanted to do something for you."
and the whole bit about subaru's mother (and father too honestly) telling him she's always been watching him and trying her best to help him but not knowing what to do or how to,, that hit hard, too.
honestly, this is such a nice episode. well deserved and well timed. nothing much happens in terms of action, but it's the conversation that subaru deserved to have, like in that episode with rem and him just talking. absolutely powerful.
*in a previous episode, i loved the line, "you shouldn't assume all her decisions come from someone else."
also thanks for reminding me today is wednesday and that means new episode of re:zero haha!! (though in my timezone it's a thursday)
dont forget "what would you choose life or mayonaise?" Subaru: "The world ofcourse! Only a person who hates the world would choose mayonaise " it sounds dumb but it's a powerfull quote and you can see how Subaru overcame his hikkikomori lifestyle in it

@Regulus Corneas That's honestly the only reason that comes up against isekai'ng myself. On the one hand it's great you have left a mark on the people of this world even if only your parents, on the other it can feel like you're handcuffed to life solely because of that and its even more suffocating.

Two moments broke me:
-Subaru saying he can’t help his parents
-“Take care” (This one got me real good)

If you think about it, seeing this episode really makes the IF stories way more sad, and they hit different. It really feels like Subaru not only betrays himself and everyone else in those paths, but his parents and past life. It's amazing what a little perspective can do. Just that thought and cross-referencing both made me cry. Like, in Wrath IF, imagine if it was Subaru's father or mother that walked into the Pandemonium castle. What would they think of Subaru then, and vice-versa?

Going back to this episode almost 2 years from it’s original air date, I have to say that I didn’t think I could love and respect Subaru’s character anymore than I already did (and I can’t believe that only my second time watching this that I almost cried and I never did in the first).
Before this episode, I loved Subaru as a character as I saw him as someone to compare to. A protagonist that could survive and overcome the impossible from his luck, smarts and limited powers. A major comparison I gave him was that he had the human limitations and so much as acknowledged and accepted how weak he was, yet here he is doing what he can to save everyone he loves and cares. After seeing this episode, I now even understood more how Subaru learned to understand himself, to see his mistakes and regrets and even understand his parents despite knowing they weren’t really his parents.
Point is, I think Natsuki Subaru is one of the best protagonists i’ve seen within the limited isekai anime i’ve watched. He isn’t super strong or powerful in a fantasy world but makes up for it for how flawed of a character he is and just isn’t some protagonist that can easily improve within one chapter and has multiple scenes dedicated to necessary character development. The world clearly doesn’t revolve around him despite him being the make or break of Lugunica’s future. And while he can use his Return By Death to fix his mistakes, he still is a normal human being with human limitations that can’t easily stall out death and can die pretty easily.
I just watched the episode and I lost my shit. I was sobbing once he told his dad he couldn't take care of them when they were older.
And when he spoke to his mom oml.... This is by far my favorite episode thus far and in general honestly. As soon as it was over I had to check if someone made an analysis on it.

It adresses these issues and even has a subplot were the main character is confronted by another character about the otherworldly stuff.
Rarely means it happens, but not very much. This kind of situation is rare, but it does happen. Plus, Re:Zero came way before Ascendance of a Bookworm, so this was probably one of the first times it has happened.

I fucking cried on this episode so hard. Natsuki's dad and mom really are the best. The thing is Re:zero is the first proper isekai I watched. So, when Natsuki said "Where's my power and cute heroine" and all that shit, I didn't get the gist of it and when I did watch a bunch of ongoing anime at the time, I realized that Re:zero really was not like any other isekai. You'd think that it wasn't taking itself seriously but I don't think that is a correct statement. What it did was innovate. And personally, I have been waiting for Season 2 for so long because I am an anime-only watcher (As far as Re:zero goes) and the delays, the postponed dates of release made me think they wouldn't actually release it, but here it is in all of its glory. This season's best girl percentage for me definitely has to be like this:
Rem: 50% (because of course)
Echidna: 30% (because the moe-gap is awesome)
Emilia: 10% (she's kinda redeeming herself this season ngl)
The remaining 10%: To be decided
Remaining 10 percent: Otto best girl

Dear god, everything in this episode is just sentimental and pure. This is one episode that shows that Subaru has been growing up and learning new things everyday ever since he went to Luganica. I really feel bad for his parents though, they just can't get closure as they don't know where he went. Usually in isekai's only the soul is transported. For Subaru's case, his whole body even his belongings are transported. This means there's no predicting what happened to Sabaru in the real world. That thought alone makes me feel great sympathy. This is a very good episode.
Also, I have Twitter now.
Remember the episode in JoJo where Okuyasu cried his eyes out so much it started to shrivel?
That happened to me
NGL, Subaru's mom looks and sounds so peaceful and calm that her voice is what made me cry.
Honestly the part that got me the most was when his mom said she understands, him having remebered everything, that has to be the hugest weight being lifted off his shoulders. Always feeling like no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get others like Emilia and Rem to understand. Especially since Emilia had told him on a few occasions that she does not understand. When his mom said she does I truly felt for him.
Man, you're so dedicated to this whenever i log in youtube your video is already there, before the others and it makes me so happy for not havin to wait for like 2 days for any other react to apear.
Thank you so much for your dedication to this
Wow, thanks!
If you didn’t cry this episode then something’s wrong here
im sorry
To be honest, this is the most saddest backstory of all Isekai anime that I’ve watched, its about the main character who can’t accept to be distanced away from his lovable parents and never going to be seen again as he transferred in to the another world.
I tried so hard to hold back my tears because I’m in public, fkkk
I didn't cry I didn't even feel sad..... Am I this heartless....
I did not cry, but i could feel the tears when subaru says " am i good enough to be ur son?" This part hit me man, but i still didn't crying (my heart is strong xD)
This episode remembered me just how important is family for us, and that we should ever express our love for them.
I really cried a lot during this episode.
Loved this episode so much, the take care flash back broke me. The fictional day must have been set before the night he was transported, the hunched over Subaru who left without even acknowledging his mother is not a kid who would wrestle his dad etc.... weirdly when I first watched the show I got an extreme depression /suicide vibe from Subaru and he gets transported to a world where he can’t die... I deal with depression and this episode really got to me and was beautiful
Echidnut, you're the reason re: zero turned into my favorite anime.
Thank you
I'm glad! It's my favorite anime too
1 question?
Why did you put that background sound when the green peas appeared lmao
Appropriate reaction to green peas
The blender animator yes
Menacing
I Was Left Speechless After The Episode I Was Just In Straight Tears Man......😢😭😢😭
I cried twice, once during the talk with his dad and once during his talk with his mom, I’m usually really strong hearted, but when it comes to family I’m really weak, I think it’s because I hold family as a really high value in my life
Dude same Holy cow. I'm not that close to my parents, so this episode just made me regret that. I'm legit tearing up rn. I fcking hate this show so much dude I can only cry so much fck stop squeezing my tears out holy cow
Brooo i didnt even watch re:zero. But i saw this one post about his parents grieving. And the fact that they still show his life pre-isekai, that was really amazing (have other isekai anime do that tho?). Then i came across this vid, and mannnn IM CRYING
"Ah, it looks like its about to rain"
"No i dont think so"
"No its raining alright"
BRO I GET YOU
I love these videos of yours. I like how you don't show spoilers for us anime-onlys.
I am caught in enthusiasm. I cannot wait for the next episode.
And thanks, I enjoy learning there is someone who loves RE ZERO as much I do or more love you man Also, brother, keep going, because a lot of people share your love for anime. RE ZERO. For example, my name is Hassan from Iraq, the last place you expect someone to follow you as I expect.
I've read the web novel before the anime debuted
I cried reading the passage for this episode
And now the episode itself made my cry even more
Damn it's beautiful
I think the scariest thing in this episode was the peas
Why were the peas there again?
@@itsakorgi5874
They were there to make Subaru not be picky when eating
When his dad said to take care of them when they get old, I already started crying.
This episode made me cry then go hug my mom and dad. No jokes. What a great story!
YO!! You're so fast.
I can't disagree anymore.
I DID cried while watching this episode.
Such amazing episode.
What got me was the sceen where he realized he wouldn't be able to to repay his parents when his dad asked for him to take care of them in the future. I've always been trying to work hard to repay them and failing is my biggest fear so when Subaru cried it pulled on my heart. I tip my hat to Tappei Nagatsuki he is one passionate story teller
I love how you explain things in a straight-up manner :)
anime only: Best episode so far
Novel readers : na wait
You had my interest but now you have my attention
@@Theblenderanimator couldn't say any better
@@Theblenderanimator The emotional roaler coaster hasn't even started yet. But yes, this was a first taste
Cant wait the reaction to Chose me
@@michodali5342 same
Was waiting for this. This episode made me move re:zero season 2 from 8 to 10, fucking brilliant. Absolutely perfect and one that made me bawl
TheXenosaiyangamer it made be on par with my favourite anime hunter x hunter or better once this season ends
TheXenosaiyangamer story is great such great worldbuilding strong characters SSOOOOO MUCH MYSTERYS like why does satella love Subaru why did AL get transported from Japan from the re:zero world
I did tear up because i had a similar conversation with my mother. She told me to take good care of my father if something happens to her in the far future because my dad has always been a slob when it comes to house work (cleaning, cooking, being by himself...). He ONLY knows how to do his own job at the office. Thinking of that just made me tear up as i watched.
i fucking cried when natsuki was with his dad. probably because my dad left me when i couldn't even remember.
This Isekai, I mean, what can I say after an episode like this?
I've seen many Isekais, most are just saying they're Isekais without real impact on character or plot.
most are fantasy wish fulfillment (I'm the 8th son??, old man grandson etc...) , others are a twist on the Isekai genre (i.e - konosuba, Isekai quartet etc...) and other's are a unique way of exploring a character/world (i.e - log horizon, The Saga of Tanya the Evil etc...), but Re-zero punched me hard.
after re-watching it all, this episode came like a howling father headbutt to my heart,
it's character development that isn't concerned with easy solutions.
this is not Subaru trying to get back to his previous life, this is not Subaru having the worst parents and running away from his previous life.
this is Subaru, accepting his past mistakes, realizing some things are too late to change.
and for someone who can just die and change things, this is a hard lesson to learn.
he's now a better person, in a realistic way, which is amazing considering this could have easily been that "this is a trap to make you stay here forever" twist or "your parent's have special powers too" or something of the sorts.
any way, here's wounder-wall.
#keeponkeepingon #McryingRN
This episode wrecked my ass. Basically both when he broke down in front of his dad, then his mom
I was crying the entire episode, man the entire episode😭😭
I wasn't crying, my eyes were just sweating
I don't cry so easily now. But if it was a few months ago I surely would have ´cause my girlfriend tried to suicide recently after sending a long goodbye message on discord but couldn't do anything but send messages and try calling her to cheer her up (notice that we live in different countries). Only to have news of her a few hours after but during that wait I was completly depressed, it was the first time in my life I cried that hard, couldn't even eat properly. But everything is fine now. Distant relationship sucks, but I won't give her up.
Really hit me when subaru said im sorry i cant see you again
3:37
Being an only child raised by a single mom
I cried a couple tears, but I also wanted to hop through the screen and beat the magic out of Subway for not saying bye back to his mom
Really makes u think about how it's best to say sumn to your parents cuz u never know if you'll see them or come back again.
Especially with the way things are today💯
Subway lmao.But on a serious note,I was like “please hug her...please for the love of god at least give her a warm goodbye” and I was not disappointed,he swallowed his cry and gave her the nice goodbye that he didn’t give last time
@@onesmileybaldy8303
Right, I think it shows how much he's grown that he acts goofy towards his parents like that.
It reminds me of Geo Stellar from Megaman starforce
He starts off as a depressed kid but after experiencing what it's like fighting for others, he tries connecting with them from the pain they shared, and from that he becomes a hero.
No lie Re zero has some really good moments in it from the 2 weeks I've been binging it.
Family always hits me the hardest and they delivered it perfectly.
I've always wondered what Subways parents were like
Only thing
He said OLDEST son.
So Suburu has SIBLINGS?
(I'm just adding my thoughts while I go through the video HEHE hope you don't mind)
I almost cried. I think I really would've if I hadn't read the web novel up to this episode ;-;
but I'll probably cry in the rewatch.
1:13 HAHA THE PEAS, the scariest phenomenon
2:49 I think Subaru is my favorite character ever, just in general.
3:57 Echidna, the Witch of Cliffhangers lol
oh and also, I saw a lot of schoolgirl Echidnas in the Re:Zero subreddit, but I always thought that was some weird kink, not an actual thing that happens lol
I'm loving the reviews my dude, and you're pumping them out fast too, gj :)))
Want some *Sauce?*
Not gonna lie I love the passion you have for Re:zero. Keep the quality content coming! And yes I cried at the scene where the dad asked Subaru to take care of him when he gets old.
Re zero legit taught me to love myself more. I have a legit problem with self love, and this show really helped me to appreciate myself more and to help me realize that there are people around me that actually care for me even if to outsiders it seems obvious.
