I thought that Subaru's first trial was a masterful foreshadowing for the two controlling figures he would face this season: Subaru's dad: You don't have to try to be me. Roswaal: You have to become like me. Subaru's mom: Do things your own way. Echidna: Do things my way (forge a contract with me and I will guide you to the optimal path). In a very real sense, Roswaal and Echidna are dark reflections of Subaru's parents, and I applaud Tappei for weaving this contrast so effortlessly and seamlessly into the story, especially as Subaru is forced to choose between the paths they offer him and his own motivations and desires. Ironically, it was Echidna's Trials (both the first and the second) which gave Subaru the strength to resist both her contract and Roswaal's manipulations, and it is probably not the first time that Echidna has set in motion her downfall with her own actions.
I feel like we’re like Emilia in the first season : Satella “You gave me everything” Subaru “I don’t understand... I never did anything for you, I don’t understand !!”
I think the final plan of roswal will never come true, since subaru already explained rdb to echidna so if she ever come back, satella will spawn kill her
The talk with Satella and Subaru reminded me of when Subaru argued with Emilia in Season 1 Episode 13 "Self-Proclaimed Knight Natsuki Subaru." He yelled about how much she meant to him and his suffering, but she could not understand. Emilia most famously stating, "The version of me that lives within you must be amazing." I see the same parallel between Satella and Subaru. This doing everything for someone who is so special but doesn't even know. It's much like falling in love with a crush, but they don't have an idea of the depth of your emotion and devotion, and the version of them that you have in your mind is different than reality. Even further, it reminds me of when people guilt-trip others with "sacrifice" (you don't know what I've done for you) and expect gratitude and worship for a favor that was never asked. You would think that Subaru could at least understand Satella considering how he is in the same position himself, but that's just the general fault with humanity.
Not just Satella, but Subaru has the same relationship with Rem, where she idolizes him. In her case, at least, her admiration for Subaru helps motivate him to become a better person.
I love character pararels so much it's one of the best literarure tropes. Roswall is also like a dark reflection of Subaru, he is what would happen of him if Subaru took Dona's hand. There is also a pararel between Rem and Subaru- both are selfless and both don't hesitate to sacrificed themselves for the love of their life. There are also many similarities between Lia and Satella, Beako and Ryuzu... Tappei is a damn good writer
Unpopular theory: The director intentionally cut out some foreshadowing scenes and we have to wait for the other half of the season. So that they *think* we can't guess the plot On summary, the actual villain is the director
I mean why would they foreshadow a bunch of stuff, only for a bunch of people to forget about it in the 3 month break and for them to have to re-introduce those elements later? Some of the cuts were pretty bad, but since most of them are only going to be relevant in the second half of the season and in arc 5(wilhelm's shoulder, some cut regulus dialogue,etc) and 6 (daphne's sage lines and the witches talking after subaru leaves the most recent tea part)
(Potential) SPOILER: There's already going to be a big fucking cut in the next cour because they already did a movie that should have happened in cour 2 and to me that doesn't seem right. The foreshadowing in the WN and LN don't give away much until you read it happen, then it hits you what the words prior make sense. If they want to cut content, fine, but don't cut the important bits or god forbid reintroduce them into a movie that most of the viewers probably haven't watched.
Oh, you’re approaching me? instead of running away, you’re coming right to me? I get it.... KAZUMA-ECHOE PLATINUM! OK MASTER, LETS KILL DA HOOOOO! BEEEETCHHHHU!!!! STEAAAALLLL!!!
Re:zero may be taking a break, but I’ll be right here whenever a new video is posted. There’s always plenty to discuss about the show, and I really like the “IF” stories
i love how Otto went from being Subaru's cart uber to his Rem's replacement.. although she's quite irreplaceable!! he's easily the best boy and will only become more of a great character later in the second core..
I've seen the theory that when Subaru was taken to the new world, he has a tea part with Satella that he forgot, where she gave him Return by Death. I've always thought this made a lot of sense, and explains why his obsession with Emelia is the one constant throughout all of the IF stories, even the Pride IF, where he hardly ever sees her. In reality, Subaru loves Emelia because she reminds him of Satella, not the other way around as he thinks (this would also explain why she didn't seem upset at all when he said he loved Emelia and not her, she would just dismiss that as him being confused about his lover for her). If this is the case, I think what you said implies that this tea party went on far longer than any of us thought. Weeks? Months? Years? If Subaru truly spent years with the Witch of Envy, and made an impact like what she says here (giving her perspective in the same way he gave it to Rem), it's no wonder she treats him the way she does. I'm just wondering... What if Re Zero ends with Satella giving him his memories back? He remembers years happily spent with her, and realizes that his feelings for her were just misunderstood as his feelings for Emelia.
Omg that would be such a big plot twist. I do agree with the other theory that Subaru falls in love with Emilia, and Satella will then take over her body. But she seems pretty sweet as a person, so maybe the witch of envy instead? I also think the first scene where Subarus first death is foreshadowed at the start could also indicate her making a contract through touch? I'm not sure, this is kind of random lol
I Don't think that's the case, Subaru remembers everything that happens in the realm of the witch party whenever he enters it. Even if he forgets everything outside of it (Previously) he would have all the memory once hes invited again... On top of that it was a "pact" with echidna, not the way the realm itself works, if echidna didn't made that pact in the first place subaru would have been aware of the time spent in that realm.. Ofc you could say that "Satella" had her own pact with subaru in such scenario, but still i don't think that's the case, because it would need to make sense to make such pact AND THEN be released to the world.. it would need to make sense for both Satella and Subaru to have such pact.
Bro i already think this half is like an anime master piece and when he said the next half is supposed to be even better i just dont have words man. Is shaping up to be the greatest anime
Came to this to find out what's going on with my favorite anime as of late immediately got the answer at the start! Hallelujah, just outta respect I'm finishing this vid and subbing to my favorite Re:zero news source.
Remember: Otto can speak to animals. He was probably talking to insects to find Subaru, and they must have mentioned they saw him talking to himself deliriously. Him speaking to animals (in this case insects) is how he found Subaru in the previous loops
I think in the first episode of Re zero when Emilia said she was "Satella." She wasn't lying. This was literally the first time he met her. And she is so surprised that Subaru cares about her and treats her nice. Then when they both died and Subaru reached out to her, Satella also gripped his hand back. This was in the ending song of Re zero too. She gave him the power to Return by Death right then and there. But at a cost when Satella gave him that power she has no control in Emilia's body and is with Subaru inside him.
When you say "Sage Candidate" that kind of reminds me about the story of the Legendary dragon of Lugnica and how they needed a Hero and a Sage to seal something... i can't remember all the details right now but that's what i thought when i heard you talk about this "Sage Candidate" thing... maybe it has something to do with the dragon? it was 400 years ago as well, so maybe.
For further detail (this maybe you can consider as spoiler but not really cuz already explained in the anime ep 8 iirc) 400 years ago, Satella absorbed the Envy Witch Factor and developed split personality that is Witch of Envy. Since Satella can't controll it, the world nearly got destroyed by her 400 years ago. So The Sage (Flugel), First Sword Saint (Reid Astrea), The Dragon (Volcanica) work together and managed to seal Satella. Satella is just to OP that they can only seal her. Now she is sealed at Pleiades Watchtower, Augria Sand Dunes. Guarded by so-called “The Sage.” Re:Zero world-building is insane
Subaru should just dedicate one loop to walking up to Roswall and saying: "Echidna offered her body to me, and I drank her body fluids" just to see how he'd react

This episode was great! For overseas Re: zero fans, I have a supplement about Satella's lines from me as a Japanese. First, although cut in the anime, she has two personalities, the light personality is Satella and the dark personality is the Witch of envy. Her famous lines include "I love you." (Aisiteru) and "Love me" (Aisite). The first line just means "I love you". However, the second line, "Aisite," can be interpreted in two ways. This word can be interpreted into two meanings because Japanese is a language that can read various meanings even if the subject and object are omitted from the sentence and only the verb is used. Even if "Watasi wo" (me) is deleted from "Watasi wo Aisite" (Love me), it becomes "Aisite" (Love me). Even if you delete "Anata wo" (yourself) from "Anata wo Aisite" (Love yourself), it will become "Aisite" (Love yourself). ["Aisite" ≒ "Love me" ≒ "Love yourself"] In other words, "Aisite" is "Love" in Japanese grammar. And Satella said "Anata wo Aisite" (Love yourself) to Subaru, who disregards his life in this episode. Do you remember when the sanctuary was attacked by the Witch of envy and Subaru committed suicide with a Petra ’s handkerchief? When Subaru was thinking of dying, disrespecting his life in the shadows, Satella ≒ Witch of envy kept telling him "Aisite" repeatedly. And after tearing his neck with a handkerchief, the last thing he saw was not the face of the evil Witch of envy, but Satella, who shed tears and looked sad. And he swore-- “I swear… I ’m going to save you” Even I, a Japanese person, thought that "Aisite" means "Love me" when I first saw it ... I think the author of Re: zero is a genius! XD
@@thien7008 Why is Roswaal the Main Highlight of JoJo Reference Is it cuz he shares Seiyuu with Dio But what about the other 23 Characters who also voiced in JoJo?
I have to use all my strength not to jump into the novel rn. It's gonna be hard. Thankfully, Solo Leveling is still there to fill the wednesday void at least a little bit
but i think its really have an connection to the very start of first episode season 1 literally on where we can hear subaru saying I will save you no matter what then he blink hes eyes and transported. Rewatch it maybe we can learn something thou
It makes sense that Satella wants to die if she's being possessed by the Witch of Envy. She probably knows of the horrible things the Witch did while controlling her body, and wants to be free of her. Saving Satella would mean somehow separating the Witch from Satella, and that's probably going to be really difficult. Also, Minerva is best girl. Satella is fine too I guess.
5:50 holy shit that makes so much more sense now. I was so confused on why she was killing everyone just a few episodes ago, to now being a best girl. Ty for that clarification.
I agree i just started reading the light novel right after i watched the episode and the stuff they cut out from the witches tea party were literally the most important details i dont get it they completely cut out the fact that satella is not a villain and that the witch of envy is and the fact that in some point in tine subaru has or will grow a personal relationship with her i dont understand it
@@RaNgErs_Rep Re:Zero is supposed to end in Arc 11. And I think the next Arcs would not be long as this. So they should covering 6-7 Arcs, in 2 seasons. So It would be 4 in total.
This is my theory: In episode 0, when Subaru is first isekaid, he meets a girl which calls herself Satella. She grows fond of him and starts liking him. He dies for her. She gives him "return by death" in order to save him. But... Return by death does not take him back in time, it actually takes him to alternative universe and Satella goes mad because she lost him. It takes him to a universe where the same things from episode 0 and 1 happen, but much later in time. This time he meets a girl, recognises her as Satella, but when he says her name out loud, people around are shocked. She also gets mad, telling him not to call her by that witches name. He thinks she gave him fake name the first time they met, and story goes on. even tho she is actually not the same person he met the first time. The first time, he met an actual Satella. So who is this Emilia girl? When Subaru got killed and was granted return by death by Satella, timeline in that universe does not stop. In fact it continues normally. Echidna stumbles upon Subaru's body, knowing that he was granted return by death. She invites him to her realm, wanting to find out more. Minerva heals him and Echidna offers him to make a pact with her. She would grant him knowledge and everything he needs in order to get Satella back, while he would use return by death as much as Echidna wants. Same thing like in last couple of episodes, but in this point of time, Subaru is inexperienced and nothing yet happened. Subaru gets a gospel from Echidna. But you still have not explained who is Emilia... The story continues, subaru uses return by death countless times by Echidna's will. It completely changes him as a person. It in fact changes him so much, he grows up to be Roswall. In the meantime, Satella roams, being a huge threat to everyone and ends up being sealed away at the tower. You know Echidna is able to make her clones/vessels in form of Ryuzu? We know that the experiment failed and vessels gained their own consciousness. Subaru/Roswall uses a similar method to reincarnate himself in his descendants bodies for centuries. Subaru/Roswall asks Echidna to make a clone/vessel for Satella wanting to use it as a host for Satela's soul which he plans to save from a tower. However, that experiment fails too, clone develops its own consciousness and Emilia is born. Empty vessel/clone, created in Satella's image, which developed its own self. Roswall takes her in, still unable to save Satella. This is when things get interesting. Subaru/Roswall finds out from his gospel that regular Subaru is about to be reincarnated for the first time in hundreds of years, which to regular Subaru seems like a blink of an eye. We know witches have insight in all alternative realities and know about return by death. Subaru/Roswall transfers himself to that alternate reality and arranges for everything so he meets regular Subaru. He needed to make sure regular Subaru meets Emilia first. He arranges for all the events that happened up until now to make regular Subaru stronger so he can save Emilia, while Subaru/Roswall tries to save Satella... Subaru/Roswall has been led by greed this entire time.
That is nice theory but it can not be on many levels. It was Emilia who gave the Satella name for sure since even Puck was surprised. The meaning is everyone sees her as Satella anyways even if she told them she is Emilia and she is sick of it. It just showed that Emilia was sick of it already and kinda(not entirely) gave up on saying she is not Satella. Spoilerish Warning: First of all Satella is witch of envy by choice and she is actually not compatible with her sin. Unlike other witches, she doesn't embrace it nor it reflects to her heart. She took sin factors to be powerful. Even before Satella's attack, witches and the world were in trouble. So what she did(apart from destroying half of the world and devauring witches) is unknown to me but she made an impact and is even hated today but witches don't seem to hate her. Her powers often go out of control especially when Subaru forces it to, but it is not controlled by Satella. So she for some reason took all the power and suffering on herself and now waiting to die.
I don't buy the Subaru = Roswaal theory. Spoiler... I'm not sure if you read the novels, but... 1. In a flashback, Roswaal got one-sidedly annihilated by Hector. If he's Subaru, he would have made sure to use RBD during the battle with Hector, especially when his "friends" were in trouble at that time. 2. If he's inlove with Satella, it doesn't make sense why he had not shown a single care about her, but will simp anytime for Echidona, even planning to kill the dragon just to revive her. 3. In the flashback, he was still a young man at around the same age of Subaru, yet he is already a great magician. I don't believe Subaru would just get that good with magic within months. 4. It's implied he had a childhood during his time with Echidona. He appears to be from a well-off family as well. 5. He loves Echidona, not Satella.

4:12 This is fitting for me A while back I was in a DEEP depression like suburu was, I didn't wanna go out or do anything, just, be, I wouldn't be excited about sumn unless I was doing something for someone else, but I couldnt think of SHIT I wanted to do for me. It wasn't until I started realizing that I didn't have any love for myself that I started building myself up and I found this show a month later. While it's dope to help others, we can't forget to help ourselves too. How can you fill another's cup if yours is empty? It's funny cuz despite being the witch of envy, Satella certainly has a lot of love and advice to GIVE to others. I wanna see more from her.
I like this. Each "dodged the bullet" moment when Subaru made a Noble choice rather than the Sin choice which branch off into the "Sin If" stories, moves him one step closer to being chosen as the Paragon of Virtue l, the Sage. I bet his Authority will become something truly unique: Global Forced Empathy. He will be able to connect others, willingly or otherwise, to have Empathy for each other and be able to experience each other's, pain, suffering, love, hate, loss, happiness, and all other experiences simply all at once. This would essentially force the entire world to have "walked in everyone's shoes" and the world will come to be Reject Sin and Embrace Virtue, ending most conflict. Every Sin is rooted in The Self Rejecting Others. Every Virtue is rooted in The Self Respecting Others. Envy - i want what they have. Greed - I want it all for me and mine. Sloth - I decide to do as little as possible, letting others carry the burden. Pride - my accomplishments are the best, and I did it all by me from my own work, no one helped me get here. Lust - I sexually yearn for the other. Their consent is not my concern. Wrath - I am angry and shall take out my anger on others. Vainglory - my hubris is my beacon of light that outshines all others.
Read original Re Zero. U will know a lot of truth. Like Betelgeuse was originally a kind human. The name is Juice He and Emelia knew each other when she was a child. Subaru kisses Emelia again at the graveyard. Emelia thinks she can have a child with a kiss. Very kawaii scene.
Otto decking Subaru, to me, was an attempt to wake him and his mind up, which for some reason felt sort of like a payback and similar to when Subaru punched Otto in the face during the White Whale situation.
Pioneer Shark You are correct, since that timeline is nonexistent now. I was just considering what happened throughout the show when it comes to their relationship (from Subaru’s point of view btw)
4:06 For SURE I am going to wear headphones in fact ima use our gaming headphones for every scene that involves Emilias voice actor like what they did in the Japanese show where they whispered into a mic and they wore headphones to hear the person whispering from the left ear to the right it gave me chills and also hyped me up Edit: and also this is a perfect chance to catch up so that when the next part comes I will be with everybody watching it together at the same time when all the newest episode releases
I love how you come up with good memes,funny commentary and informative reviews without spoilers. By far the best and most creative reviews for every episode and I look forward for more in the second cour
One thing i love about his videos: Portuguese subtitles. I mean i understand english easily but i almost never see Portuguese subtitles but i am from a country that speaks it. Cheers to you Echdnut.
Everyone who's read the LN likes to bring up the fact that the author has already said publicly that Satella and Emilia are two different people. Which always cracks me up, because it's like they're just assuming there's no possible way that he's being misleading, or even outright lying. :p Edit for clarification: an example of "misleading" would be: "She's not Satella, but is she Envy???" So would be something like "THIS Emilia isn't her", etc.
Ofc, I mean... It's too obvious is Satella is Emilia from future of time travel theories, etc. No way Re:Zero will be that predictable, Tappei will definetly make crazy plot twist about the truth of Satella identity.
@@markallieu7097 No doubt, I don't disagree with that. I just think it's madness to think there's not some hardcore connection there. I'd even go so far as to say it would be a big letdown if there weren't.
my theory is that emilia and satella are two different people BUT when ever subaru re-loops satella could switch places with emilia after all she is envious(no pun intended) that subaru would be so devoted to someone. so yeah anyways let's see how it goes
@@valiantshadow89 I mean everything that she tells Subaru she loves about him is litterally what we see him do for the weirdly indentical half elf... I honestly believe the theory of Subaru and Emilia being the earlier versions of Satella and another character that haven't been introduced in the Anime yet is what the story is going to involve. It is predictable but I don't think this story is about the destination but rather the journey. It isn't about this unpredictable yet beautifully crafted totally mindblowing twist that is going to make everyone go crazy at the end..it is litterally just a simple story with a simple premise taken to the exstreme by amazing deep characters, a beautiful magical world with a ton of world building and a huge twist on the usual overpowered character trope. I mean the author have come out and said that the ending is going to be bitter sweet and my prediction is that the bitter sweet ending is either going to be with Emilia/Satella getting saved by Subaru than then finally gets to rest in piece..or that they are both trapped in an endless loop "cursing" both of them to forever go back in time and make sure their previous selfs makes it to the destination sacrificing themself in order to save the world.
that's a genuinely good theory, if Roswaal's controlling enough to send Elsa to his own mansion, he'd likely do that for control over Ram and Rem alongside with her.
soo uhh here's some theory from an anime only as you said in the video Satella/Witch of Envy can affect time itself via rewinding and pausing it, and your thought of her Being able to see Future events ringed a bell in me. Roswaal's Gospel is basically a book that predicts Future events right? and in the Anime we haven't seen an Apostle of Envy yet, so here i'am thinking that Roswaal may be THE Apostle of Envy (hence knowing some of the Witches such as Echidna). He may have a Pact with the Witch of Greed wich is giving him the Possibility of the Future Predicting Gospel. How could Roswaal have made Contact to The Witch of Envy? In the Re:Zero Lore, 400 Years ago The Witch of Envy was the Cause for "the great calamity" and Roswaal Stated that 400 YEARS ago he got enchanted by "Those Eyes" and then went Insane (Insane as a synonom that he is the Apostle of envy?). One more thing I want to Mention, as we got to know this Episode Roswaal hired Elsa to Attack the Mansion in order to build up Subaru to Perfection. If we Jump Back to Season 1 of Re:zero In the First arc With Rom, felt and Elsa, They were trading about the Gem thing from Emilia that makes her a Candidate for the Royal Election, it is then that Felt mentioned she Got Hired by Another Woman, That woman was Elsa and Elsa Stated the She got Hired by another GUY. Since we got to know in Season 2 Roswaal does Know Elsa and is Capable of Hiring Her! So lets just Say Roswaal Hired Elsa back in Season 1 Aswell, then why did he do it? Because of his Future Predicting Ability he Probably noticed that in the near future someone (Subaru) would appear and already constructed a plan so that he (Roswaal) got a chance of meeting Subaru (the plan with elsa, we still dont even know WHY emilia was in that town, she almost never is there is she? everyone hates her because of the Similarities with the witch) so Roswaal Told emilia to be in that town at the exact moment and also gave Elsa the Information about emilia's location wich Elsa gave to Felt. And thus Having Roswaal have a MAAAASSTEEEEEEEERR fcking plan. god I hope someone reads that and responds to me, I used 30 minutes to write this, sorry if there are grammar mistakes somewhere ^^ ~Marvinios

My THEORY is that Satella is Emilia from future, that when she gained power she went to past 400 years before present. Thats why she thank subaru for something that didnt happen and looks like her. Thats why emilias body once dissapeared from tomb and envy was there. You said that Satella has 2 minds.

Thats what i thought, thinking I was revolutionary over here untill I saw all the other similar theories. Still dont want that theory to be true though
I gotta say it man, thanks for being a part of Re:Zero experience. We all know how underrated this show is and it’s while it’s not my #1 favorite it’s nice to see someone agree that it’s probably one of the best made animes (and even stories in general) out there. I loved seeing your analysis every week and the community you built is amazing too. You and your videos comments get me thinking into even deeper meaning and literary techniques I couldn’t have seen on my own. So thank you 👍 On a complete side note: we all see the Emilia Satella connection, something, while small, I think we missed was the music, I might be wrong but I’m like 99% sure on this but the music that played for insane Emilia and the music that played when Satella spoke to Subaru sometimes in the Tea Party were the same. It’s subtle and while it may mean nothing it may also connect the two just a little bit more.
I was sure the episode would end on Subaru and Satella leaving the tea party, but we got a lot more to speculate about this way, so I'm not complaining! Keep making Re:Zero content man, I love your videos
Thanks a lot for making us company during this season. Found myself looking for your videos after every episode. It's been great, and I can't wait till January.
Elements of an ongoing theory I'm piecing together: Satella is a future version of Emilia who has experienced a more complete loop that our Subaru has not. The Witches are physical personifications of the failed ryuzu-cloning-method-gone-wrong, each elements of a personality manifested into a physical form, which is why they are "unfathomable" and illogical, because they are only one aspect of a personality each. Greed/envy/gluttony/wrath/sloth/lust/pride(I don't think pride has been shown yet iirc) are too big to fit into one container (body) so they were put into different containers or containers were made for them using echidnas winrar method. All seven deadly sins are maybe originally one witch/person/spirit/entity, Emilia or someone is an incomplete puzzle, a fractured soul. This theory makes a little bit more sense to me as I type it considering all of the witches seem to care about subaru for one reason or another. Carmilla helps subaru realize satellas love, satella wants subaru to love himself, minerva wants to prevent subaru from killing himself, gluttony wants to let subaru make his own choice, sehkmet wants the same but also wants to keep the meeting violence free, daphne sort of helps minerva help subaru. Why would any one of these supposed evil witches, let alone all of them, care about subaru in any way? Granted, this is still very small reasoning but it's a developing theory of my own. I do not believe we as the viewer are witnessing the first subaru loop (I don't mean his death loop, I mean his existence loop). Maybe the witch cult/roswaal are side effects of some kind of event where "Emilia's" personality split into different witches/and time travel has something to do with it, as there have been several characters with several lines (satella, roswaal, maybe one or two others) who have talked about events or people in the past tense) that make me think that. I may be totally off base, but it's fun to come up with theories. But time travel almost certainly has SOMETHING to do with the story. I would be totally stoked if my "multiple personalities made into physical manifestations known as the current seven witches by way of ryuzu cloning" theory ended up being at least half way right. I definitely think Satella is SOME iteration/variation of emilia. Oh, another thing I recently considered, maybe whenever satella speaks of having subaru spent many nights with her when she was lonely, maybe satella has multiple personalities/souls within her, as satella spoke, it was rem and every other character who was with subaru who got swallowed up by satella who was speaking through her, kind of like a hivemind of souls all in one body. We were shown that when satella swallowed up subaru, he didn't immediately die, and his consciousness was swimming around with a bunch of souls, so maybe Satella doesn't actually kill those she swallows up, maybe she fuses with them, one reason why she seems so crazy and doesn't make sense and also talks to subaru with such familiarity despite having seemingly never actually met him beyond her little "don't talk about fight club or you die" moments. I'm still trying to organize and de-jumble this theory into something more coherent and linear, but I hope I'm at least close on some of it.
Looks like Christmas came early with this upload Edit:well anyways this episode is really good like always anyways i really appreciated what they did in this episode with roswall he was addicting to wacth
It's a shame they had to cut many important moments and details. The Witch of Envy and Satella being two different people is a really big one and they just skip over it. Hopefully they do mention it later on in the anime.
tbh i always assumed Emilia is just Satella's doppelganger, we might not know much about Satella rn but they are different enough that they just can't be relared to far more that has been established (in the anime)
I was rewatching season 1 today and noticed a lot of similarities between Satella telling Subaru why she loves him and the conversation between Subaru and Emilia at the end of episode 13 “Self-Proclaimed Knight Natsuki Subaru” • Subaru falls in love with Emilia after she saves and helps him. • Emilia doesn’t remember that happening. (Because of the time reset) Sounds very similar to Satella falling in love with Subaru after he “gave her everything”, but Subaru doesn’t remember meeting her ever. My guess is that, similar to what happened with Emilia and Subaru, Subaru met Satella and helped her in some way but for some reason time rewound (probably by Satella, maybe something bad happened to Subaru like him dying so she reset time idk) so Subaru doesn’t remember anything but Satella is deeply in love with him. This is just something I wanted to point out. This is the best explanation that I came up with but there are a lot of questions and holes with this theory so I don’t think that it’s 100% correct, but I just couldn’t ignore the similarities.
That is so fitting! I have to believe that's true. Maybe that's why Satella destroyed half the world before being sealed, because she lost Subaru and went crazy from grief?
Michael B. That sounds very plausible. I do wonder how Subaru got to Lugnica from 400 years ago without being summoned by Satella. I can’t wait to learn more about Satella’s and Subaru’s past!
@@nicholasbrandt7823 Same. Re:Zero is easily the best anime / light novel series I got into so far. And Echidnut makes straight up the best Re:Zero content on youtube.
@Michael B Yeah, Echidnut is a big reason why I’m so into the series right now. It’s nice to have a TH-camr that shares a similar love for a show that also makes great content.
echidnut, I've been thinking something lately. I think when echidona said "she has planned everything" it means that, subaru has defeated all the if stories in the anime. if we look closer, the opening shows subaru's deaths in pride, wrath, sloth. since subaru has defeated the rest of them, greed was the one he hasn't defeated one. but, because subaru didn't make a contract with echidona she lost, and satella herself came to him. I need answers!
I think you should know that the Greed route is what would have happen if Subaru had accepted echidna’s contract and ignore Satella and the other witches
Bro you are great you gives.. a lot of theory about this series 😂 thanks. After completing a episode of Re: Zero I came to watch your videos.. to understand ... it helps me a lot
Thank you I completely agree with the Otto scene, It definitely shouldn’t have been at the end of the last episode I love Otto but he really shouldn’t have been the last thing, it felt really out of place considering the rest of the episode, it also felt kinda shoehorned in. It doesn’t really feel like an ending sequence I would’ve much rather it had been at the beginning of the next cour, would’ve set the tone really well. I also really hate the cuts but it was Still an amazing episode, especially from an anime only perspective No waiting 3 months
Yeah somebody needs to get around to KILLING Roswall when this is all over, either that or lock him up so it doesn't interfere too much with emelia getting the throne. I'd snitch on him to the royal capital. I think it was sweet how all of the witches are basically on Suburus side He's a pawn talking to what are essentially the GODS of re zero. I don't get why he calls them ALL monsters. Minerva did nothing wrong, typhoon is just a child too. He should've hunkered down and asked satella things like How did u give me Rbd, can i get your help when I need it? I think it would be dope if he could call upon the powers of the witches, kinda like the avatar or when Vixen from DC uses her amulet, or black panthers ability to communicate with the ancestors. Using Echidnas intelligence Satellas darkness Minervas healing abilities Sekmets strength Daphnes hunger abilities Or Carmillas mental manipulation. This could give him a huge boost in what he could do. He needs to spend some time with Emelia too, if her mental health is as important as it is, spending an hour or 2 with her wouldn't hurt. Like in the God of war game when Kratos protects his family from copies, and hugs them to transfer his strength to them b4 he goes back to fighting. I think Otto is going to go to the mansion to save everyone, but I fear for him. I wonder if "I'll allow it" is satella saying she isn't going to come for him when he mentions rbd? It's so crazy how the ep ended with a punch and Otto basically cursing suburu out but I'm so excited for the series to come back. I hope we get some stuff in the meantime. I've been seeing chibi versions of the characters but don't know what that's about. It's not isekai quartet either.
@@TheInsaiyan Oof lol Idk, I think that for some of them, I don't think superficial is the word to describe it Echidna is definitely that But minerva? Typhoon? Even Satella? Idk if I could use that to describe them. I think if suburu had the chance to sit down with them, hear their backstories, and let his ideals clash with theirs, we could get a better view into why they are the way they are.
While Subaru threatened to do that after it's all over, thinking rationally, due to Emilia's status as a half elf, losing Roswaal's backing in the Royal Selection means that she won't participate, they still need him
Subaru's situation is like getting a good therapy session and feeling good then another problem rises up

D:
That pfp really works well with the comment
I thought that Subaru's first trial was a masterful foreshadowing for the two controlling figures he would face this season:
Subaru's dad: You don't have to try to be me.
Roswaal: You have to become like me.
Subaru's mom: Do things your own way.
Echidna: Do things my way (forge a contract with me and I will guide you to the optimal path).
In a very real sense, Roswaal and Echidna are dark reflections of Subaru's parents, and I applaud Tappei for weaving this contrast so effortlessly and seamlessly into the story, especially as Subaru is forced to choose between the paths they offer him and his own motivations and desires. Ironically, it was Echidna's Trials (both the first and the second) which gave Subaru the strength to resist both her contract and Roswaal's manipulations, and it is probably not the first time that Echidna has set in motion her downfall with her own actions.
Indeed
omg that is brilliant

You get a like but don't do this too much. It reminds me of my english class.

I think the final plan of roswal will never come true, since subaru already explained rdb to echidna so if she ever come back, satella will spawn kill her
The talk with Satella and Subaru reminded me of when Subaru argued with Emilia in Season 1 Episode 13 "Self-Proclaimed Knight Natsuki Subaru." He yelled about how much she meant to him and his suffering, but she could not understand. Emilia most famously stating, "The version of me that lives within you must be amazing." I see the same parallel between Satella and Subaru. This doing everything for someone who is so special but doesn't even know. It's much like falling in love with a crush, but they don't have an idea of the depth of your emotion and devotion, and the version of them that you have in your mind is different than reality. Even further, it reminds me of when people guilt-trip others with "sacrifice" (you don't know what I've done for you) and expect gratitude and worship for a favor that was never asked. You would think that Subaru could at least understand Satella considering how he is in the same position himself, but that's just the general fault with humanity.
Nice point
Very nice point
Not just Satella, but Subaru has the same relationship with Rem, where she idolizes him.
In her case, at least, her admiration for Subaru helps motivate him to become a better person.
I love character pararels so much it's one of the best literarure tropes. Roswall is also like a dark reflection of Subaru, he is what would happen of him if Subaru took Dona's hand. There is also a pararel between Rem and Subaru- both are selfless and both don't hesitate to sacrificed themselves for the love of their life. There are also many similarities between Lia and Satella, Beako and Ryuzu... Tappei is a damn good writer
@@darreideamos2309 yeah there's no denying about it
Unpopular theory: The director intentionally cut out some foreshadowing scenes and we have to wait for the other half of the season.
So that they *think* we can't guess the plot
On summary, the actual villain is the director
I mean why would they foreshadow a bunch of stuff, only for a bunch of people to forget about it in the 3 month break and for them to have to re-introduce those elements later?
Some of the cuts were pretty bad, but since most of them are only going to be relevant in the second half of the season and in arc 5(wilhelm's shoulder, some cut regulus dialogue,etc) and 6 (daphne's sage lines and the witches talking after subaru leaves the most recent tea part)
*le gasp*
(Potential) SPOILER:
There's already going to be a big fucking cut in the next cour because they already did a movie that should have happened in cour 2 and to me that doesn't seem right. The foreshadowing in the WN and LN don't give away much until you read it happen, then it hits you what the words prior make sense. If they want to cut content, fine, but don't cut the important bits or god forbid reintroduce them into a movie that most of the viewers probably haven't watched.

Minerva still used crazy diamond.
I've seen the theory that when Subaru was taken to the new world, he has a tea part with Satella that he forgot, where she gave him Return by Death. I've always thought this made a lot of sense, and explains why his obsession with Emelia is the one constant throughout all of the IF stories, even the Pride IF, where he hardly ever sees her. In reality, Subaru loves Emelia because she reminds him of Satella, not the other way around as he thinks (this would also explain why she didn't seem upset at all when he said he loved Emelia and not her, she would just dismiss that as him being confused about his lover for her).
If this is the case, I think what you said implies that this tea party went on far longer than any of us thought. Weeks? Months? Years? If Subaru truly spent years with the Witch of Envy, and made an impact like what she says here (giving her perspective in the same way he gave it to Rem), it's no wonder she treats him the way she does.
I'm just wondering... What if Re Zero ends with Satella giving him his memories back? He remembers years happily spent with her, and realizes that his feelings for her were just misunderstood as his feelings for Emelia.
Omg that would be such a big plot twist. I do agree with the other theory that Subaru falls in love with Emilia, and Satella will then take over her body. But she seems pretty sweet as a person, so maybe the witch of envy instead? I also think the first scene where Subarus first death is foreshadowed at the start could also indicate her making a contract through touch? I'm not sure, this is kind of random lol
Sanford Bassett nice haha
“Realize” role credits
That would be a twist big enough to break your spine
I Don't think that's the case, Subaru remembers everything that happens in the realm of the witch party whenever he enters it. Even if he forgets everything outside of it (Previously)
he would have all the memory once hes invited again... On top of that it was a "pact" with echidna, not the way the realm itself works, if echidna didn't made that pact in the first place subaru would have been aware of the time spent in that realm.. Ofc you could say that "Satella" had her own pact with subaru in such scenario, but still i don't think that's the case, because it would need to make sense to make such pact AND THEN be released to the world.. it would need to make sense for both Satella and Subaru to have such pact.

Glad I could help!
Is it just me, or does it seem like Otto is knows more than what he’s letting on
That was my first instinct when he asked if Subaru needed someone to tell him what to do
Remember: Otto can speak to animals. He was probably talking to insects to find Subaru, and they must have mentioned they saw him talking to himself deliriously.
Him speaking to animals (in this case insects) is how he found Subaru in the previous loops
Otto was secretly Pandora all along
I was thinking the same thing
There is a fan theory that pandora created or is him sooooooooo have fun thinking on that for 3 months
Satella has three stands: Killer Queen bite the dust, Za warudo, and King Crimson
Triple threat.
And za unseen hando
The mistress of time
@Tobi unseen hand is just literally every stand, since nobody is a stand user nobody can see it
Alexander Liew more like bites the dust.
I think in the first episode of Re zero when Emilia said she was "Satella." She wasn't lying. This was literally the first time he met her. And she is so surprised that Subaru cares about her and treats her nice. Then when they both died and Subaru reached out to her, Satella also gripped his hand back. This was in the ending song of Re zero too. She gave him the power to Return by Death right then and there. But at a cost when Satella gave him that power she has no control in Emilia's body and is with Subaru inside him.
Yo that lowkey makes sense but i dont think the author would make it something like that
"It was dio all along?"
"Always has been"
*insert jonathan screaming dio*
Always will be

You thought it was roswaal!
But It Was I DIO!
When you say "Sage Candidate" that kind of reminds me about the story of the Legendary dragon of Lugnica and how they needed a Hero and a Sage to seal something... i can't remember all the details right now but that's what i thought when i heard you talk about this "Sage Candidate" thing... maybe it has something to do with the dragon? it was 400 years ago as well, so maybe.
Flugel was the Sage that came before, in the time of the Witch of Envy. You know, the guy who's tree was dropped on the White Whale?
Oh yeah and roswaal wants to kill the dragon or whatever so maybe that will play into something too
Hazdoc stop they haven’t dropped that in the anime yet no one wants spoilers even if they’re small let people theorize
Flugel used the Witch factors to seal Satella. Subaru slays a archbishop and receives their witch factor.
For further detail (this maybe you can consider as spoiler but not really cuz already explained in the anime ep 8 iirc)
400 years ago, Satella absorbed the Envy Witch Factor and developed split personality that is Witch of Envy. Since Satella can't controll it, the world nearly got destroyed by her 400 years ago. So The Sage (Flugel), First Sword Saint (Reid Astrea), The Dragon (Volcanica) work together and managed to seal Satella. Satella is just to OP that they can only seal her. Now she is sealed at Pleiades Watchtower, Augria Sand Dunes. Guarded by so-called “The Sage.”

This episode was great!
For overseas Re: zero fans, I have a supplement about Satella's lines from me as a Japanese.
First, although cut in the anime, she has two personalities, the light personality is Satella and the dark personality is the Witch of envy.
Her famous lines include "I love you." (Aisiteru) and "Love me" (Aisite).
The first line just means "I love you".
However, the second line, "Aisite," can be interpreted in two ways.
This word can be interpreted into two meanings because Japanese is a language that can read various meanings even if the subject and object are omitted from the sentence and only the verb is used.
Even if "Watasi wo" (me) is deleted from "Watasi wo Aisite" (Love me), it becomes "Aisite" (Love me).
Even if you delete "Anata wo" (yourself) from "Anata wo Aisite" (Love yourself), it will become "Aisite" (Love yourself).
["Aisite" ≒ "Love me" ≒ "Love yourself"]
In other words, "Aisite" is "Love" in Japanese grammar.
And Satella said "Anata wo Aisite" (Love yourself) to Subaru, who disregards his life in this episode.
Do you remember when the sanctuary was attacked by the Witch of envy and Subaru committed suicide with a Petra ’s handkerchief?
When Subaru was thinking of dying, disrespecting his life in the shadows, Satella ≒ Witch of envy kept telling him "Aisite" repeatedly.
And after tearing his neck with a handkerchief, the last thing he saw was not the face of the evil Witch of envy, but Satella, who shed tears and looked sad.
And he swore--
“I swear… I ’m going to save you”
Even I, a Japanese person, thought that "Aisite" means "Love me" when I first saw it ...
I think the author of Re: zero is a genius! XD
thanks for telling us that, i could never have known :)

It makes sense that Satella wants to die if she's being possessed by the Witch of Envy. She probably knows of the horrible things the Witch did while controlling her body, and wants to be free of her.
Saving Satella would mean somehow separating the Witch from Satella, and that's probably going to be really difficult.
Also, Minerva is best girl. Satella is fine too I guess.
I think separating Satella from Wich of Envy is also gonna destroy the world
5:50 holy shit that makes so much more sense now. I was so confused on why she was killing everyone just a few episodes ago, to now being a best girl. Ty for that clarification.
There is one more fact that was cut : It wasn't witch of Envy who killed 50% of the world and other witches. It was Satella.
@@LxDization okay WTF
@@LxDization Welp. idk anymore then.
Last time I was this early people still knew who that blue haired girl was.
Who is she again?
who was she?
Blue hair?
I'm sorry who?
It's was rem guys
Btw i know you are just jk but still i like to put it i guess
I agree i just started reading the light novel right after i watched the episode and the stuff they cut out from the witches tea party were literally the most important details i dont get it they completely cut out the fact that satella is not a villain and that the witch of envy is and the fact that in some point in tine subaru has or will grow a personal relationship with her i dont understand it
The real pain will be waiting 4 more years for another season.
how dare you assume we're getting another season

RaNgErs_Rep definitely false😭
the satella scene was wholesome...
*I'm satisfied*
Yhea it make my brain tremble.
Yeah, I legit cried when I read it in the WN
This is my theory:
In episode 0, when Subaru is first isekaid, he meets a girl which calls herself Satella.
She grows fond of him and starts liking him. He dies for her. She gives him "return by death" in order to save him.
But...
Return by death does not take him back in time, it actually takes him to alternative universe and Satella goes mad because she lost him.
It takes him to a universe where the same things from episode 0 and 1 happen, but much later in time.
This time he meets a girl, recognises her as Satella, but when he says her name out loud, people around are shocked. She also gets mad, telling him not to call her by that witches name.
He thinks she gave him fake name the first time they met, and story goes on. even tho she is actually not the same person he met the first time. The first time, he met an actual Satella.
So who is this Emilia girl?
When Subaru got killed and was granted return by death by Satella, timeline in that universe does not stop. In fact it continues normally.
Echidna stumbles upon Subaru's body, knowing that he was granted return by death. She invites him to her realm, wanting to find out more.
Minerva heals him and Echidna offers him to make a pact with her. She would grant him knowledge and everything he needs in order to get Satella back, while he would use return by death as much as Echidna wants. Same thing like in last couple of episodes, but in this point of time, Subaru is inexperienced and nothing yet happened.
Subaru gets a gospel from Echidna.
But you still have not explained who is Emilia...
The story continues, subaru uses return by death countless times by Echidna's will. It completely changes him as a person.
It in fact changes him so much, he grows up to be Roswall.
In the meantime, Satella roams, being a huge threat to everyone and ends up being sealed away at the tower.
You know Echidna is able to make her clones/vessels in form of Ryuzu? We know that the experiment failed and vessels gained their own consciousness.
Subaru/Roswall uses a similar method to reincarnate himself in his descendants bodies for centuries.
Subaru/Roswall asks Echidna to make a clone/vessel for Satella wanting to use it as a host for Satela's soul which he plans to save from a tower.
However, that experiment fails too, clone develops its own consciousness and Emilia is born. Empty vessel/clone, created in Satella's image, which developed its own self.
Roswall takes her in, still unable to save Satella.
This is when things get interesting.
Subaru/Roswall finds out from his gospel that regular Subaru is about to be reincarnated for the first time in hundreds of years, which to regular Subaru seems like a blink of an eye.
We know witches have insight in all alternative realities and know about return by death.
Subaru/Roswall transfers himself to that alternate reality and arranges for everything so he meets regular Subaru.
He needed to make sure regular Subaru meets Emilia first.
He arranges for all the events that happened up until now to make regular Subaru stronger so he can save Emilia, while Subaru/Roswall tries to save Satella...
Subaru/Roswall has been led by greed this entire time.
I'm so confused rn
Plot Twist
That is nice theory but it can not be on many levels. It was Emilia who gave the Satella name for sure since even Puck was surprised. The meaning is everyone sees her as Satella anyways even if she told them she is Emilia and she is sick of it. It just showed that Emilia was sick of it already and kinda(not entirely) gave up on saying she is not Satella. Spoilerish Warning: First of all Satella is witch of envy by choice and she is actually not compatible with her sin. Unlike other witches, she doesn't embrace it nor it reflects to her heart. She took sin factors to be powerful. Even before Satella's attack, witches and the world were in trouble. So what she did(apart from destroying half of the world and devauring witches) is unknown to me but she made an impact and is even hated today but witches don't seem to hate her. Her powers often go out of control especially when Subaru forces it to, but it is not controlled by Satella. So she for some reason took all the power and suffering on herself and now waiting to die.
I don't buy the Subaru = Roswaal theory.
Spoiler...
I'm not sure if you read the novels, but...
1. In a flashback, Roswaal got one-sidedly annihilated by Hector. If he's Subaru, he would have made sure to use RBD during the battle with Hector, especially when his "friends" were in trouble at that time.
2. If he's inlove with Satella, it doesn't make sense why he had not shown a single care about her, but will simp anytime for Echidona, even planning to kill the dragon just to revive her.
3. In the flashback, he was still a young man at around the same age of Subaru, yet he is already a great magician. I don't believe Subaru would just get that good with magic within months.
4. It's implied he had a childhood during his time with Echidona. He appears to be from a well-off family as well.
5. He loves Echidona, not Satella.
but Roswall doesnt even know how Subaru's return by death works.. He even beat him up tp make him use it

This is fitting for me
A while back I was in a DEEP depression like suburu was, I didn't wanna go out or do anything, just, be, I wouldn't be excited about sumn unless I was doing something for someone else, but I couldnt think of SHIT I wanted to do for me.
It wasn't until I started realizing that I didn't have any love for myself that I started building myself up and I found this show a month later.
While it's dope to help others, we can't forget to help ourselves too.
How can you fill another's cup if yours is empty?
It's funny cuz despite being the witch of envy, Satella certainly has a lot of love and advice to GIVE to others.
I wanna see more from her.
Indeed, best girl material.
I laughed when you said “imagine he did that to Rem” when talking about biting his tongue off
I recon if a witch is someone who represents a sin, then perhaps a sage is a man who embodies virtue/ perhaps my bro can occupy all virtues.
Nice Subaru will became a sage wht about his authority
I like this. Each "dodged the bullet" moment when Subaru made a Noble choice rather than the Sin choice which branch off into the "Sin If" stories, moves him one step closer to being chosen as the Paragon of Virtue l, the Sage.
I bet his Authority will become something truly unique:
Global Forced Empathy.
He will be able to connect others, willingly or otherwise, to have Empathy for each other and be able to experience each other's, pain, suffering, love, hate, loss, happiness, and all other experiences simply all at once.
This would essentially force the entire world to have "walked in everyone's shoes" and the world will come to be Reject Sin and Embrace Virtue, ending most conflict.
Every Sin is rooted in The Self Rejecting Others.
Every Virtue is rooted in The Self Respecting Others.
Envy - i want what they have.
Greed - I want it all for me and mine.
Sloth - I decide to do as little as possible, letting others carry the burden.
Pride - my accomplishments are the best, and I did it all by me from my own work, no one helped me get here.
Lust - I sexually yearn for the other. Their consent is not my concern.
Wrath - I am angry and shall take out my anger on others.
Vainglory - my hubris is my beacon of light that outshines all others.

Read original Re Zero. U will know a lot of truth. Like
Betelgeuse was originally a kind human. The name is Juice
He and Emelia knew each other when she was a child.
Subaru kisses Emelia again at the graveyard. Emelia thinks she can have a child with a kiss. Very kawaii scene.
There’s enough content for a season 3 to be made so hopefully not too long after season 2 ends
Otto decking Subaru, to me, was an attempt to wake him and his mind up, which for some reason felt sort of like a payback and similar to when Subaru punched Otto in the face during the White Whale situation.
Pioneer Shark You are correct, since that timeline is nonexistent now. I was just considering what happened throughout the show when it comes to their relationship (from Subaru’s point of view btw)

Everyone who's read the LN likes to bring up the fact that the author has already said publicly that Satella and Emilia are two different people.
Which always cracks me up, because it's like they're just assuming there's no possible way that he's being misleading, or even outright lying. :p
Edit for clarification: an example of "misleading" would be: "She's not Satella, but is she Envy???" So would be something like "THIS Emilia isn't her", etc.
Ofc, I mean... It's too obvious is Satella is Emilia from future of time travel theories, etc. No way Re:Zero will be that predictable, Tappei will definetly make crazy plot twist about the truth of Satella identity.
@@markallieu7097 No doubt, I don't disagree with that. I just think it's madness to think there's not some hardcore connection there. I'd even go so far as to say it would be a big letdown if there weren't.
my theory is that emilia and satella are two different people BUT when ever subaru re-loops satella could switch places with emilia after all she is envious(no pun intended) that subaru would be so devoted to someone. so yeah anyways let's see how it goes
@@valiantshadow89 I mean everything that she tells Subaru she loves about him is litterally what we see him do for the weirdly indentical half elf...
I honestly believe the theory of Subaru and Emilia being the earlier versions of Satella and another character that haven't been introduced in the Anime yet is what the story is going to involve.
It is predictable but I don't think this story is about the destination but rather the journey.
It isn't about this unpredictable yet beautifully crafted totally mindblowing twist that is going to make everyone go crazy at the end..it is litterally just a simple story with a simple premise taken to the exstreme by amazing deep characters, a beautiful magical world with a ton of world building and a huge twist on the usual overpowered character trope.
I mean the author have come out and said that the ending is going to be bitter sweet and my prediction is that the bitter sweet ending is either going to be with Emilia/Satella getting saved by Subaru than then finally gets to rest in piece..or that they are both trapped in an endless loop "cursing" both of them to forever go back in time and make sure their previous selfs makes it to the destination sacrificing themself in order to save the world.
Things i know about satella and emilia:
Satella is dark theme emilia
Both love subaru
Speculation:
Roswell broke Ram’s horn and that’s why she is under his control.
Nah the Witch Cult did destroy her horn, she just values Roswaal life more after Rem’s existence being erased.
Davavo idk he always wears purple. And now he lived 400 years ago. Always thought he was some sort of insider that just defected
that's a genuinely good theory, if Roswaal's controlling enough to send Elsa to his own mansion, he'd likely do that for control over Ram and Rem alongside with her.
why does he say ram is his hope though? do we figure out why later
I'm an anime only but that's a theory I dont want to be true but it would kinda make sence......
soo uhh here's some theory from an anime only
as you said in the video Satella/Witch of Envy can affect time itself via rewinding and pausing it, and your thought of her Being able to see Future events ringed a bell in me.
Roswaal's Gospel is basically a book that predicts Future events right? and in the Anime we haven't seen an Apostle of Envy yet, so here i'am thinking that Roswaal may be THE Apostle of Envy (hence knowing some of the Witches such as Echidna). He may have a Pact with the Witch of Greed wich is giving him the Possibility of the Future Predicting Gospel.
How could Roswaal have made Contact to The Witch of Envy? In the Re:Zero Lore, 400 Years ago The Witch of Envy was the Cause for "the great calamity" and Roswaal Stated that 400 YEARS ago he got enchanted by "Those Eyes" and then went Insane (Insane as a synonom that he is the Apostle of envy?).
One more thing I want to Mention, as we got to know this Episode Roswaal hired Elsa to Attack the Mansion in order to build up Subaru to Perfection. If we Jump Back to Season 1 of Re:zero In the First arc With Rom, felt and Elsa, They were trading about the Gem thing from Emilia that makes her a Candidate for the Royal Election, it is then that Felt mentioned she Got Hired by Another Woman, That woman was Elsa and Elsa Stated the She got Hired by another GUY. Since we got to know in Season 2 Roswaal does Know Elsa and is Capable of Hiring Her!
So lets just Say Roswaal Hired Elsa back in Season 1 Aswell, then why did he do it? Because of his Future Predicting Ability he Probably noticed that in the near future someone (Subaru) would appear and already constructed a plan so that he (Roswaal) got a chance of meeting Subaru
(the plan with elsa, we still dont even know WHY emilia was in that town, she almost never is there is she? everyone hates her because of the Similarities with the witch)
so Roswaal Told emilia to be in that town at the exact moment and also gave Elsa the Information about emilia's location wich Elsa gave to Felt.
And thus Having Roswaal have a MAAAASSTEEEEEEEERR fcking plan.
god I hope someone reads that and responds to me,
I used 30 minutes to write this, sorry if there are grammar mistakes somewhere ^^

On a complete side note: we all see the Emilia Satella connection, something, while small, I think we missed was the music, I might be wrong but I’m like 99% sure on this but the music that played for insane Emilia and the music that played when Satella spoke to Subaru sometimes in the Tea Party were the same. It’s subtle and while it may mean nothing it may also connect the two just a little bit more.

Elements of an ongoing theory I'm piecing together: Satella is a future version of Emilia who has experienced a more complete loop that our Subaru has not. The Witches are physical personifications of the failed ryuzu-cloning-method-gone-wrong, each elements of a personality manifested into a physical form, which is why they are "unfathomable" and illogical, because they are only one aspect of a personality each. Greed/envy/gluttony/wrath/sloth/lust/pride(I don't think pride has been shown yet iirc) are too big to fit into one container (body) so they were put into different containers or containers were made for them using echidnas winrar method. All seven deadly sins are maybe originally one witch/person/spirit/entity, Emilia or someone is an incomplete puzzle, a fractured soul. This theory makes a little bit more sense to me as I type it considering all of the witches seem to care about subaru for one reason or another. Carmilla helps subaru realize satellas love, satella wants subaru to love himself, minerva wants to prevent subaru from killing himself, gluttony wants to let subaru make his own choice, sehkmet wants the same but also wants to keep the meeting violence free, daphne sort of helps minerva help subaru. Why would any one of these supposed evil witches, let alone all of them, care about subaru in any way? Granted, this is still very small reasoning but it's a developing theory of my own. I do not believe we as the viewer are witnessing the first subaru loop (I don't mean his death loop, I mean his existence loop). Maybe the witch cult/roswaal are side effects of some kind of event where "Emilia's" personality split into different witches/and time travel has something to do with it, as there have been several characters with several lines (satella, roswaal, maybe one or two others) who have talked about events or people in the past tense) that make me think that.
I may be totally off base, but it's fun to come up with theories. But time travel almost certainly has SOMETHING to do with the story. I would be totally stoked if my "multiple personalities made into physical manifestations known as the current seven witches by way of ryuzu cloning" theory ended up being at least half way right. I definitely think Satella is SOME iteration/variation of emilia. Oh, another thing I recently considered, maybe whenever satella speaks of having subaru spent many nights with her when she was lonely, maybe satella has multiple personalities/souls within her, as satella spoke, it was rem and every other character who was with subaru who got swallowed up by satella who was speaking through her, kind of like a hivemind of souls all in one body. We were shown that when satella swallowed up subaru, he didn't immediately die, and his consciousness was swimming around with a bunch of souls, so maybe Satella doesn't actually kill those she swallows up, maybe she fuses with them, one reason why she seems so crazy and doesn't make sense and also talks to subaru with such familiarity despite having seemingly never actually met him beyond her little "don't talk about fight club or you die" moments.
I'm still trying to organize and de-jumble this theory into something more coherent and linear, but I hope I'm at least close on some of it.
pride is typhon, y'know the other loli besides the bdsm one

Goddamnit.
It's a shame they had to cut many important moments and details. The Witch of Envy and Satella being two different people is a really big one and they just skip over it. Hopefully they do mention it later on in the anime.
It really seems like they are the same person Satella and Emilia. However I guess that is not the case.
tbh i always assumed Emilia is just Satella's doppelganger, we might not know much about Satella rn but they are different enough that they just can't be relared to far more that has been established (in the anime)
@arnold jayeola Oops my bad
@@KaagKagamine5 My bad, I meant Witch of Envy not Emilia
i thought you hear about her in season 1 but maybe i'm wrong
I was rewatching season 1 today and noticed a lot of similarities between Satella telling Subaru why she loves him and the conversation between Subaru and Emilia at the end of episode 13 “Self-Proclaimed Knight Natsuki Subaru”
• Subaru falls in love with Emilia after she saves and helps him.
• Emilia doesn’t remember that happening. (Because of the time reset)
Sounds very similar to Satella falling in love with Subaru after he “gave her everything”, but Subaru doesn’t remember meeting her ever. My guess is that, similar to what happened with Emilia and Subaru, Subaru met Satella and helped her in some way but for some reason time rewound (probably by Satella, maybe something bad happened to Subaru like him dying so she reset time idk) so Subaru doesn’t remember anything but Satella is deeply in love with him.
This is just something I wanted to point out. This is the best explanation that I came up with but there are a lot of questions and holes with this theory so I don’t think that it’s 100% correct, but I just couldn’t ignore the similarities.
Damn 🙌🏻
That is so fitting! I have to believe that's true.
Maybe that's why Satella destroyed half the world before being sealed, because she lost Subaru and went crazy from grief?

mfk just double killed ram and garfiel
Bro you are great you gives.. a lot of theory about this series 😂 thanks.
After completing a episode of Re: Zero I came to watch your videos.. to understand ... it helps me a lot
Thank you I completely agree with the Otto scene, It definitely shouldn’t have been at the end of the last episode
I love Otto but he really shouldn’t have been the last thing, it felt really out of place considering the rest of the episode, it also felt kinda shoehorned in. It doesn’t really feel like an ending sequence
I would’ve much rather it had been at the beginning of the next cour, would’ve set the tone really well.
I also really hate the cuts but it was Still an amazing episode, especially from an anime only perspective
No waiting 3 months
But otto. Is so h8larious.
SO IAM GONNA Have to LET IT SLIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDEEEE
Yeah somebody needs to get around to KILLING Roswall when this is all over, either that or lock him up so it doesn't interfere too much with emelia getting the throne.
I'd snitch on him to the royal capital.
I think it was sweet how all of the witches are basically on Suburus side
He's a pawn talking to what are essentially the GODS of re zero.
I don't get why he calls them ALL monsters. Minerva did nothing wrong, typhoon is just a child too.
He should've hunkered down and asked satella things like
How did u give me Rbd, can i get your help when I need it?
I think it would be dope if he could call upon the powers of the witches, kinda like the avatar or when Vixen from DC uses her amulet, or black panthers ability to communicate with the ancestors.
Using Echidnas intelligence
Satellas darkness
Minervas healing abilities
Sekmets strength
Daphnes hunger abilities
Or Carmillas mental manipulation.
This could give him a huge boost in what he could do.
He needs to spend some time with Emelia too, if her mental health is as important as it is, spending an hour or 2 with her wouldn't hurt. Like in the God of war game when Kratos protects his family from copies, and hugs them to transfer his strength to them b4 he goes back to fighting.
I think Otto is going to go to the mansion to save everyone, but I fear for him.
I wonder if "I'll allow it" is satella saying she isn't going to come for him when he mentions rbd?
It's so crazy how the ep ended with a punch and Otto basically cursing suburu out but I'm so excited for the series to come back.
I hope we get some stuff in the meantime.
I've been seeing chibi versions of the characters but don't know what that's about.
It's not isekai quartet either.
He calls them all monsters because they are incomprehensible beings while also stupidly superficial and egoistic.
@@TheInsaiyan
Oof lol
Idk, I think that for some of them, I don't think superficial is the word to describe it
Echidna is definitely that
But minerva? Typhoon? Even Satella?
Idk if I could use that to describe them.
I think if suburu had the chance to sit down with them, hear their backstories, and let his ideals clash with theirs, we could get a better view into why they are the way they are.
While Subaru threatened to do that after it's all over, thinking rationally, due to Emilia's status as a half elf, losing Roswaal's backing in the Royal Selection means that she won't participate, they still need him
@M
Frugal?
Who's that?
Keep in mind I'm an anime only so idk the other characters
@@mckinleyknight1775
True
It's why I say don't snitch on him rn, but definitely after the royal selection
That Satella quote made my heart flutter
I HAVE ARRIVED
note: I loved this episode and its ending otto best boy
Otto is *still* best boy what do you mean
