A whole twenty-minute conversation between two people, added with the greatest VA performances showcasing the most heartfelt confession in the history of anime. ❤
Subaru deserves praise for being upfront about his intentions, and not leading her on. His rejection should not be a surprise to anybody else, because Rem is aware that he has loved her since the beginning. Rem was actually more interested in hearing Subaru express his emotions and the conviction, resolve that went along with them. Perhaps the greatest response he could have given her was this: she fell in love with him because of his unwavering will to never give up on the people he cared about. ❤
Rem got friendzoned here, which is both humorous and terrible, but you have to remember that she knew it would happen. She knew Subaru well enough at this time to know that he adores Emilia, and Rem's confession did not change that. This episode was not about establishing their connection, but about getting Subaru out of the lowest spot he'd ever been at. 💔
Again, when Rem said "I Love You" to Subaru, she did not do that to be with Subaru, she was not expecting Subaru to say "I love you too." Rem just said that because Subaru is feeling so bad for himself, he feels so pathetic, he literally hates himself. Rem knows this, so that's why Rem said all that, to let Subaru know the all wonderful things he has done in arc 2, how heroic he truly is. Subaru kept talking about all the negative parts of himself, but Rem reminded him of all the good things he has done, Even if you say you hate yourself for being pathetic, other people see you as Hero TLDR: Rem said "I Love You" and all the compliments to Subaru because she wants to Subaru to know how how Heroic he truly is, and she did not do that expecting a "I love you" back too.
I got in the video! also I was not referring to Caw, I was referring to people who are mad that Subaru rejected Rem. Go to my comment in the Waifu wars part 2 for more context
Waifu Wars killed the series, people focused on too much on that instead actual the series. Let's be real neither Rem or Emilia is Top10 female of Re:Zero. There is much better written female characters like Echidna, Priscilla and such.
@@user-lh5my4ws8jjust because a character is better written doesn’t make them top 10. Because how are you qualifying who is top 10? Everyone will have different criteria.
This is the episode that I resonated with Subaru the most. It's not like Subaru is entirely useless, lazy and bad character. He did some deeds but he wasn't aware how much his accomplishments matter to somebody like Rem. Even if he did something good, he will fail in the future and he will keep blaming himself for that. He will succeed a few times but he won't ever become a better person unless someone like Rem is around to show what he has done. This is the sad reality of most of our lives. We just keep coping until we can't cuz this is not an anime and we don't have someone like Rem beside us. It's actually amazing how much I see a reflaction of myself in Subaru. We will never be enough.
He is too way too harsh on himself, but its good he is trying to fix his flaws now. He always had good and bad sides, but what changed this episode is his attitude which can allow his good sides to shine. He sorta brute forced his way in first 2 arcs and showed what he can do but he was always gonna hit a roadblock at some point. There was light in his eyes when he isekaied bc he thought it would solve his problems by making him the "protagonist". He hoped that his actions in first 2 arc are a sing of things going well and he also latched onto Emilia as support bc he misunderstod her kindness for understanding (probably bc of the lap pillow where she realized that he is doing badly). The thing is he always looked for something else that would make things in his life right. But now his attitude changed and he is starting from himself to take that step. Guy unfortunately still hates himself, its obvious when he asks Rem for help he basically says:"I cant do anything so pls help" I mean Rem would help anyway tho. Her sister is there, the ova showed everyone in the mansion bonding with eachother and the villagers. Also protecting the mansion and the royal candidate her master supports is part of her job
I think it means Subaru's love for Emilia has never changed and will never change by anything else, if he chooses Rem after her confession in this episode I would despise him tbh, just my personal thoughts tho, I can understand why a lot of people got shocked by his choice, but the point of this episode was about dragging a person out from a cliff called "despair", that's my opinion about this amazing episode
I love Rem a tad more than Emilia, but she knew what she was getting herself into when she prioritized pulling Subaru back to his feet over just taking the deal and claiming him for herself.
Subaru rejecting Rem is the best thing that could happen in this scenerio, fight me Rem fans, I am ready to crush you with nothing but facts. Anyone who dislikes Subaru's decision, is not mature enough to understand what a healthy relationship is.
I love Rem, but I agree that it was the best thing that could of happened. Rem knew she was going to be rejected and her confession was never meant to be accepted.
What I dislike is how Subaru rejected her. He could’ve done it in a kinder way, but in terms of writing I do think it was great for the anime and I respect Subaru’s decision. When Re: Zero was a relatively new show, a lot of people trashed on Subaru for rejecting Rem, thats stupid to me. But if you’re saying he did it in a bad way and you feel bad for Rem, I totally agree
@@fork6057 novel spoilers Yeah he rejected her, but actually she's #2 in his heart. And you already who is the first one. He even asks her if Emilia would allow for multiple marriages then they all can marry each other
I love how caw went from ( How is this girl your favorite?) around episode 7, when Rem was torturing Subaru to ( this girl is a peak partner) We got him boys!
"I watching you (Emilia) you watchign me (Rem) so I won't look down anymore." Is the summery of Subaru relationship, Emilia navigate the way for him while Rem is pushing him to walk straight.
Keep in mind that we almost always see Emilia through Subaru's eyes. The way Emilia appears to be like to Subaru and her actual character are two different things. Subaru indeed sees an Idealised version of Emilia because despite the time they spent together he never even tried to truly get to know her, as until now Subaru was just a mask with nothing behind it.
Finally Subaru will let out all his rage and frustration, but Rem was calm and told him that she will always be there to support him. "From Zero". When was the last time we heard Subaru genuinely laugh?
Amazing episode as always. Waifu war aside this was a good showcase of how we all are a "somebody" in someone elses perspective. It was a good reminder to me back when I first watched this episode in 2016 when i was 17 yrs old 😅 haha cringe. Cawcaw the ReZero communities hero, the farmer, the glazer, and the entertainer, so ty ty the ride towards S3 is hype because of you haha
there is one OVA, Bonds of Ice, it reveals the history of Puck and Emilia. But for the best experience ever that will not spoil you, it is the best for you to watch it EXACTLY between s02e16 and s02e17. I will not say because this is the best point to watch it, but trust me, it will be better.
Since you have reach ep 18, I would like if you could also react to Subaru’s quote/speech in eng dub since that one also really really good. You don’t have to check the episode itself, just simply type it in the TH-cam and it will lead you to the video.
I love episode 18 and I understand why Subaru said what he said on that episode, but thanks to this episode many people think that Subaru doesn't love Rem. S1 of the anime is at fault for this too in the next couple of episode they cut really important scenes that explore Subaru's thoughts of Rem. I Imagine that the staff didn't expect to have a season 2, at least in the near future, so they didn't add a lot of scenes that can be inconclusive or foreshadow future events
yes, that's why I became a harem advocate. do not let any waifu get rejected by the MC, make the MC take responsibility for making a girl fall in love.
yep and there it is. Re zero is full of from zero moments . Rem and Subaru got one. (most future ones are not this obviously spoken out like these 2) Who will be next :D
You want a hot take? I will give you one. I'm sorry for some boring rambling in advance and my poor english. Rem was probably smiling here at the end because she saw just how based Subaru was, because she already watched 99% of isekai animes where the main protagonist is this brainded "gigachad" who is just an author's self-insert with 100500 waifus at his side who are there just so that MC can show his "collection" of pokemon he gathered along the way. And the girls? Basically just MC's accessory to be cute and support MC no matter what brainded or not decisions he is making. I am a girl myself and let me tell you, guys have two hands not to hold two waifus. In one hand there is an actual love of his life and in the other there is a death sertificate in case he will cheat on her. 2 wives = chopping off his "treasure". 3 wives or more = he is already rolling in his grave (he is lucky to have one) because all the girls will gather to cast a literal hell upon him, THEY will be the main villain in his story. Just imagine that. Also humans may have 2 hands but they also only have 1 heart. And with Subaru we actually saw that- Rudy from all of them will be in that 1% of "acceptable" harems because author is showing us how much of a loser he is, but calling MT a redemption story when he cheated on his wife in his SECOND worthless life is a stretch. You want REAL redemption story? Cut his small D off and make him a hermit who sometimes teaches some stupid kids how to not be a total degen. Sadly he doesn't know how, just how the author doesn't know that women are human too and if the guy cheated on her, she will not think that this is her problem and would not just accept this second wife and live "happily-ever-after" alongside this homewrecker. Y'all want history-accurate wife of the MC who cheated on her? Look and Catelyn Stark from Game of thrones and look how she hates Ned's bastard. And this is a fantasy genre too, wow. But in Re:zero? If there is to be a harem that apparently MANY people want? Let's say that in the future Subaru somehow becomes this huge hero in Lugunica and asks Emilia to be his wife, and imagine if Emilia is in love with him too and accepts the proposal. Maybe she is queen by that time, maybe she is not. And imagine they are married, and Subaru comes to Emilia and says: "Heyy Emilia-tan, I've actually decided to take the second wife... YOUR fucking MAID who served you and Roswaal!!" Is there is even a world when Rem AND Emilia are happy that they are now in this relationship with Subaru? They ARE nice girls, but this acceptance is not just a selfless decision, this is also very fucking stupid, especially with this status imbalance. "History accurate" my ass, where did you see some freaking heroes-saviors of the world taking multiple wives who are all happy with that? Harems were in the cults with brainwashed groomed women, and the leaders of nations also had harems... full of basically slaves. Well, I'm waiting for that "cult leader Natsuki Subaru" arc then if harem is what majority want (twitter is not a holy place after all). In fact, the logical thing will be if it's Emilia who owns her harem when she is queen. But she is too nice to do that, and she is also not some cheating creep. She can have someone nice like Reinhard who can take only one wife (she just has to tell to him that she is forever 14 in her heart) but instead she chooses... that. It will ruin Re:zero for me a lot. Another hot take? Incest > Harem, but many people are not ready for this conversation. I said what I said.
There is a friend of me who doesn't enjoy re zero says it is too boring. He skips many time when he was watching and then said there is nothing about it ,it is the worst Isekai. Yeah he is op mc Isekai lover . There are people who doesn't like heavy conversation anime, so re zero is not for everyone 😅
I never thought about it much, but a part of me thinks, maybe one of the reasons Subaru replied like that was because Rem’s confession made his heart waver. So to steel his resolve he said “I love Emilia”.
Rem fell in love with the hero that Subaru is, who is in love with Emilia. Rem rejected Subaru first. In a previous run Rem told us that she only needs/wants a little bit of Subaru just for herself (Say Emilia can have 95% of Subaru and Rem gets 5%.) Rem rejected her dream with Subaru knowing that she would leave the Subaru she fell in love with behind. The Subaru that wants to save everybody and is deeply in love with Emilia. She's the perfect side chick.
Even though Rem is the best girl for me in this show and always will be, I'm glad Subaru chose Emilia over her. I actually would've hated if the show lead us on to this point by keeping nailing us how much love Subaru has for Emilia, only to flip the script over its head. And I'm glad Subaru kept true to his feelings for Emilia, no matter how cruel it was for Rem. A lot people fail to realize, Rem goal was never to steal Subaru away from Emilia. You think she know and love all these little things about Subaru and she wouldn't notice the most obvious part about Subaru? His love for Emilia? Her goal was here to save her hero from all his self-hate and hopelessness he was feeling by showing him her love for him. She was always prepared for the rejection, though it didn't saved her from tearing up in the end. But she did her part. She saved her hero, like he did for her. Even in this conversation if you look at it, Subaru asked her to run away with him, not out of love but out of desperation to atleast save the person he saw die three times, each time dying with worse fate than later on. Even she started telling him how much she loves him, his response was "Why do you love me this much?" It was obvious he was never leading on. A lot people in community think of this as "leading on" cause she started confessing, but how is it leading on if her love was always one-sided? And like you said, it would be leading on if Subaru didn't turned her down like that no matter how cruel it was. Nevertheless, Rem sacrificed her love to save Subaru, and that is the greatest debt that he owes to Rem. This is why she'll always be the best girl.
Ngl this is my favorite episode of the whole show even though I dislike the "I love Emilia" part specially since what he actually said was "I like Emilia" which is a pretty important detail and even more in the future.
I love Rem’s character, but her attitude toward Subaru just isnt my favorite. I want her to criticize him more but she has a different way of doing things, which worked this episode clearly, so I at least respect it.
A whole twenty-minute conversation between two people, added with the greatest VA performances showcasing the most heartfelt confession in the history of anime. ❤
“Let’s start here, from square one”
“No…from Zero” - Rem
Title Drop
This was the episode that ignited the waifu wars in this anime. 🔥
Also Subaru : "i'd make them mine" 😂
A whole episode of 2 characters talking in the same spot and it’s one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen. Re zero built different.
Subaru deserves praise for being upfront about his intentions, and not leading her on. His rejection should not be a surprise to anybody else, because Rem is aware that he has loved her since the beginning.

"Zero kara" ✍🏻✍🏻🔥🔥
😂The face when he said I love Emilia!!!😂😂😂😂
His face remind me of that one meme of dude laughing 😂
When he looked at the camera it reminded me of the Luffy airhead moment
The line "I love Emilia" might be the greatest literacy check of all time.
Tensura anime should make a note about how to make a talking episode this interesting instead of having a zoom meeting every episode
Again, when Rem said "I Love You" to Subaru, she did not do that to be with Subaru, she was not expecting Subaru to say "I love you too."

im always bawling my eyes out when i watch this episode
This is the ep that made rezero the best anime for me.
Its the episode that started the waifu wars
for what it's worth, i was team emilia at the time 😂
Waifu Wars killed the series, people focused on too much on that instead actual the series.

10/10 commentary, couldn't keep count of the amount of times i've yelled "EXACTLY' while listening
Man, I remember that Rem confession kept showing on every socials for more than a year when it released
"More than anyone, Natsuki Subrau hates himself"
This is the episode that I resonated with Subaru the most. It's not like Subaru is entirely useless, lazy and bad character.

10/10 Masterpiece Voice Acting Episode. This Might be my fav episode so far tbh .
This is the ep where i said re zero is a true masterpiece.
Subaru was very realistic, but then suddenly so based in the end 🗿
(It even freezed Cawcaw's face for a moment lol)
The legendary scene where most of people been waiting for

It was incredibly refreshing to see Subaru say this. He finally admitted to himself that he is powerless and only wants. Great character development.
Subaru's brutally honest rejection was peak. Rem already knew that Subaru loved Emilia but she still admitted it, Respect Rem

This episode is why I like Subaru more than Rudeus lol. (No hate for rudeus, just my opinion)😅
Nah dude, all hate for Rudeus
What do you mean no hate for rudeus, the guy deserves all the hate, ffs.
Hating Rudeus is a morally correct position. Dude is fucking garbage.
I love how caw went from ( How is this girl your favorite?) around episode 7, when Rem was torturing Subaru to ( this girl is a peak partner)
We got him boys!
"I watching you (Emilia) you watchign me (Rem) so I won't look down anymore."
Is the summery of Subaru relationship, Emilia navigate the way for him while Rem is pushing him to walk straight.
I love your description of the scene
human centipede is wild bro wtf 😭
This episode is actually so perfect. That face when bro said I love emilia😂
Idek how this got the ''Rem Episode'' Label, I always thought it was the Subaru episode, rem concluded the scene very well though.
22:29 LMAO THAT HAND MOVEMENT, STOP
Keep in mind that we almost always see Emilia through Subaru's eyes. The way Emilia appears to be like to Subaru and her actual character are two different things. Subaru indeed sees an Idealised version of Emilia because despite the time they spent together he never even tried to truly get to know her, as until now Subaru was just a mask with nothing behind it.
The React Messiah has bestowed us this legendary scene we've been waiting for 💞
Finally Subaru will let out all his rage and frustration, but Rem was calm and told him that she will always be there to support him. "From Zero".
When was the last time we heard Subaru genuinely laugh?
This episode is so peak that even the dub for it is amazing
Subaru really said "I am the Re:Zero" at the end
I want you watch the english dub for this scene it was done so well
CAWCAW'S REACTION😭😭😭😭😭😭
You know it's special when they brought in the bird guy
Amazing episode as always. Waifu war aside this was a good showcase of how we all are a "somebody" in someone elses perspective. It was a good reminder to me back when I first watched this episode in 2016 when i was 17 yrs old 😅 haha cringe.
Cawcaw the ReZero communities hero, the farmer, the glazer, and the entertainer, so ty ty the ride towards S3 is hype because of you haha
this ep was the OG "W yap sesh", kudos to tappei for writing peak fiction and to white fox for turning a whole chapter into a single episode
"I love Emilia". Holy shit that was the best reaction ever, haha.
Rem: Subaru-kun, you truely are a re:Zero
38:21 exactly my reaction at my first time watching the episode😂😂. Bro stuck on loading for a sec 😂
The moment before digester: i love Emilia 💀
there is one OVA, Bonds of Ice, it reveals the history of Puck and Emilia. But for the best experience ever that will not spoil you, it is the best for you to watch it EXACTLY between s02e16 and s02e17. I will not say because this is the best point to watch it, but trust me, it will be better.
Absolute Cinema
Since you have reach ep 18, I would like if you could also react to Subaru’s quote/speech in eng dub since that one also really really good. You don’t have to check the episode itself, just simply type it in the TH-cam and it will lead you to the video.
If I were to have an Anime episode 3x3, episode 13 and 18 would be contenders for getting their own spots.

Rem fans tho...
Well, now you can watch Re:Zero If Sloth. You won't get spoilers from there.
W rem for attempting, but emilia on top
There is an if route that the author wrote if rem accepted subaru.
41:13 I wonder what the happiness is in this metaphor.
38:18 XD That moment
It would be very funny if Subaru troll rem by saying I love Ram.
PEAK WRITING
Rem has short blue hair. She never stood a chance
yes, that's why I became a harem advocate.
do not let any waifu get rejected by the MC, make the MC take responsibility for making a girl fall in love.
Re: Starting from Zero 🎉
Peak Re:zero moment
oh no ... not the death flags 💀
Imagine Ayanakoji was here giving Subaru the Hirata treatment.
I fail to see why Ayanakoji would give Subaru the Hirata treatment, this is totally different from Hirata's situation.
I LOVE EMILIA ☺️☺️☺️👍
Nah bro REAL RE: ZERO starts at the end of the whole story THEN you can restart from zero 💀🤡
just gonna say, reinhard is in a completely different dimension powerwise, compared to a measly greater spirit like puck.
yep and there it is. Re zero is full of from zero moments . Rem and Subaru got one. (most future ones are not this obviously spoken out like these 2) Who will be next :D
The laugh from Subaru is actually from subaru? I wonder
You want a hot take? I will give you one. I'm sorry for some boring rambling in advance and my poor english.
Rem was probably smiling here at the end because she saw just how based Subaru was, because she already watched 99% of isekai animes where the main protagonist is this brainded "gigachad" who is just an author's self-insert with 100500 waifus at his side who are there just so that MC can show his "collection" of pokemon he gathered along the way.

Another hot take? Incest > Harem, but many people are not ready for this conversation. I said what I said.
Peak romcom ep🗿
The VAs are peak this episode. But still so hard to watch rem get rejected.
peak episode

Then they didn't get the point of this episode and only focused on "I love Emilia", guess who's missing out!
You're friend has zero media literacy 😊
@@tmlarkynado7604 guess she just got the ick, nothing can be done to remedy that

I never thought about it much, but a part of me thinks, maybe one of the reasons Subaru replied like that was because Rem’s confession made his heart waver. So to steel his resolve he said “I love Emilia”.
Rem fell in love with the hero that Subaru is, who is in love with Emilia. Rem rejected Subaru first. In a previous run Rem told us that she only needs/wants a little bit of Subaru just for herself (Say Emilia can have 95% of Subaru and Rem gets 5%.) Rem rejected her dream with Subaru knowing that she would leave the Subaru she fell in love with behind. The Subaru that wants to save everybody and is deeply in love with Emilia.
She's the perfect side chick.
This is the saddest funniest thing I've read 😭😭😭
Nice 👍
Even though Rem is the best girl for me in this show and always will be, I'm glad Subaru chose Emilia over her. I actually would've hated if the show lead us on to this point by keeping nailing us how much love Subaru has for Emilia, only to flip the script over its head. And I'm glad Subaru kept true to his feelings for Emilia, no matter how cruel it was for Rem.
A lot people fail to realize, Rem goal was never to steal Subaru away from Emilia. You think she know and love all these little things about Subaru and she wouldn't notice the most obvious part about Subaru? His love for Emilia? Her goal was here to save her hero from all his self-hate and hopelessness he was feeling by showing him her love for him. She was always prepared for the rejection, though it didn't saved her from tearing up in the end. But she did her part. She saved her hero, like he did for her.
Even in this conversation if you look at it, Subaru asked her to run away with him, not out of love but out of desperation to atleast save the person he saw die three times, each time dying with worse fate than later on. Even she started telling him how much she loves him, his response was "Why do you love me this much?" It was obvious he was never leading on. A lot people in community think of this as "leading on" cause she started confessing, but how is it leading on if her love was always one-sided? And like you said, it would be leading on if Subaru didn't turned her down like that no matter how cruel it was.
Nevertheless, Rem sacrificed her love to save Subaru, and that is the greatest debt that he owes to Rem. This is why she'll always be the best girl.
Rem confesses her feeling got dump also Subaru ask her to help him and still agree🗿
Ngl this is my favorite episode of the whole show even though I dislike the "I love Emilia" part specially since what he actually said was "I like Emilia" which is a pretty important detail and even more in the future.
I love Rem’s character, but her attitude toward Subaru just isnt my favorite. I want her to criticize him more but she has a different way of doing things, which worked this episode clearly, so I at least respect it.
To be fair,Rem did reject him first.
