Satella showed up because he kept telling Echidna he can return by death. Re-watch the end of this episode, and the next with headphones on because all of Satella's audio was recorded with an ASMR microphone and you cant get the proper effect listening over desktop speakers.
Pretty sure satella is there because subaru gave echidna tge "payment" and echidna just shove it up satellas face saying "hey look, someone is after your man" so satella is just here to erase that hussy out of existence
Since it never really is explained in the anime why Satella appears, I might as well explain it now: Remember, whenever Subaru talks about Return by Death Satella's hand appears. But this time nothing happened, because Subaru was safe from her in the castle of dreams, right? Well, at 6:28 you can actually see how Satella's hand tries to reach him, but since he is in Echidna's dream world, it fails. That's why Satella pays a little visit to the sanctuary by hijacking Emilia's body, which is implied in the novels. Also, when Satella hugs Subaru, she sees his memories about Petra and Rem, both of whom Subaru cares deeply about (you can even see these flashes of memories when she hugs him). And since she is the Witch of Envy, she wants to monopolize Subaru's affection for herself, so she turns towards the mansion in order to eradicate them. Also, you saw the poison of the Black Serpent already. That was the black slime in the forest of the Frozen Bonds OVA.
The reason why Subaru was safe in the castle of dreams is because death doesn't exist there and his power gets somewhat sealed away? Because Satella literally entered that place in later episodes, I started reading the novels recently and I'm yet to arrive at Arc 4.
@@PgoOFC SPOILER AHEAD! . . . . . . . . . Satella and Witch of Envy are two separate beings. Satella isn't compatible with the Envy Witch Factor, which caused her to split personalities. Satella is good, WItch of Envy is the envy incarnate
Very often people are confused about why the Witch is here at the end. You only need to look at previous episode, where Subaru told Echidna about Return by Death A LOT. Since she could not reach him there to hug him to death to shut him up, the only obvious choice was to come in person ;)
AHH SATELLA ASMR, MY BRAIN TREMBLESss . but yes indeed the reason why she shows up out of nowhere is coz subaru kept saying that he could return by death, our lil witch got envious hehe. also do you remember seeing the venom/poison of the black serpent in the frozen bonds ova (emilia's backstory) , it was that black glob thingy.
it makes sense how it works though. Minerva's authority uses a boatload of mana but not her own. It takes from somewhere in the world where she isn't, causing an imbalance, which leads to all kinds of disasters she's angry at the world that would hurt people so her Wrath manifests in an attack against the world as she heals the injured nevermind how she'll ignore the fact that she causes more injuries to the people in the areas where disasters happen since she can't see it happening in front of her. Then she hears word of those injuries and rush there to heal, leading always to an ever present cycle fueling her Wrath
@@LuminousArc92 know that you mention this, it made me think. what happens then when minerva heals subaru? i mean its the castle of dreams but shes still using her authority. where does that consquence go i wonder? can she heal without consequences because she is in the castle of dreams? there are some questions to be asked
30:45 Remember when Subaru used Return By Death during the battle with the White Whale, and Satella showed up and whispered something in his ear? Well, now you know what she said! Just a note: The word Satella uses for "I love you" is _aishiteru,_ which isn't used often because of it's intensity. You still can, but it would be more common to use some version of _suki_ to express what's usually meant by "I love you." _Aishiteru_ is more like what you'd say on your wedding day, or on your deathbed.
@@tri99er_ you just reminded me of a beautiful scene damn. the story of wilhelm and thereasia is such a tragic one. cant wait for season 3 to expand more on it!
Just adding onto the usage of what you mentioned, Aishiteru uses 愛, which means love. Suki uses 好, which means good/well. At least based on Chinese roots. So, the first phrase definitely holds most intense feelings. The second is more versatile and varies based on context, allowing it to mean more of liking someone or something to loving it, though less than the first.
I absolutely love how utterly incomprehensible the witches' morality and logic seems. It really makes them feel otherworldly. Fun fact, in the novels, Echidna warns Subaru not to touch Daphne AFTER Subaru already had his arm ripped off by Typhon. The adaptation really makes him seem incredibly dumb here, hahaha. Have fun decorating your new office!
Subaru's checkpoints will usually update whenever he reaches a point where he is no longer in danger of being caught in a death loop. So yes, it works very similar to checkpoints in a video game. The black sludge in The Frozen Bond movie was venom from the Black Serpent, so you've seen a bit of it as well. The Whale and the Rabbit were both made with the idea of feeding as many people as possible. The Black Serpent, on the other hand, was made purely to reduce the number of mouths that need to be fed. All of the Witches are fun characters, but I really like Daphne. Her weird, somewhat logical, somewhat insane thought process really exemplifies the difference between humans and witches. It might help to think of The Witch of Envy as the ultimate yandere lol. The only reason why she would head for the mansion instead of Subaru, is to remove the competition for his affections... Glad you're enjoying the show so much!
meanwhile, wise subaru with glottony witch factor: i'll make a tree which can create infinite fruits so no one starve and it so resilient its pretty much impossible to damage it. when there are too many people overall, the tree will sense it and modify the property of the fruit so people who eat it wont have childs for a while. that way no one feel hungry and no one will die or even got too much people on planet.
SATELLA ASMR LETS GO! Highly recommend you to rewatch the scene on your own time with headphones on both ears, the audio moves form one side to the other. Also congrats on the move hope that’ll make it more pleasant to record your reactions! 10:11 Powerscaling in Re:Zero is a bit difficult honestly idk why people would even tell you this instead of letting you see for yourself but yeah Regulus (white haired Greed guy) is really OP even tho I’d say gluttonies authority is way scarier since he can just turn you into an empty shell 13:13 You heard Daphnes name in the 3rd episode of this season when Echidna talked about all the different witches of sin 17:38 Time for more fun facts. This Spider coffin actually runs on the witch of gluttonies poop. You’re welcome. Also Cut content from the light novel Daphne removed her eye cover and without realizing Subaru was starting to eat his own hand 18:02 Typhoon the witch of Pride 21:18 For population control so there’s less people using recourses also you heard about the Black Serpent in the Emilia OVA but the black sludge was only the blood of the serpent and not the Serpent itsel 32:41 During the conversation Subaru had with Echidna you can see the hand trying to reach out to him. He repeated that he can return by death so many times but Satella couldn’t reach him to grab his heart in the dream world. Since you’re at least one episode ahead I can already tell you that she took over Emilia’s body and manifested herself 33:30 He said before he event watched the after credit scene lmao. Bet you’re missing the directors cut now, sorry but the cliffhangers will just keep going the entire season 34:25 Sounds like you’re finally losing your marbles. You’re officially a Re:Zero fan now congrats! And Betelgeuse is the sin archbishop of Sloth 25:23 I mean she also grabs his heart somehow every time Subaru talks about his ability, she’s so powerful they couldn’t even kill her and she had to be restrained so even tho she’s supposed to be locked away it makes sense she’d somehow find loopholes Glad you’re enjoying Re:Zero so much. I’m really excited for the 3rd season and to see your reactions weekly it’ll be the best season yet
You got it somewhat wrong, it isn't when he achieves something that is considered destiny that a new checkpoint is formed. - As she explained it, the power was granted to him so he could escape his destiny of "true death" and it is only meant for him and not anyone else, if Emilia or Rem or whoever dies but he overcomes his "death" a new checkpoint will be made after he has done so as such leaving the people he loves behind, well, to remain dead.
More light novel trivia! The scene where Satela keeps repeating Aishteru ( I love you ) in the light novel it was a whole entire page filled with the phrase repeated the whole time.
from the novel to echidna -> envy: not a finger, not an hair, not a word, mine, kill kill kill kill, love you love you llove you , kill kill kill kill kill kill
The irony of Betelgeuse trying to sacrifice Emilia's body as a vessel for satella when she can apparently just do that on her own. Anyway all the witches are definitely interesting characters. It was surprising actually seeing them this early in the series. Rezero really is just unpredictable sometimes.
@@DemiCape not really spoiler because the anime never answers it for you, but in the novels its implied that yes, satella used emilia's body as a vessel
keep in mind that garfiel ONLY starts hating subaru once he exits the tomb, due to the smell of the witch. this time though, the witch seems to be in the graveyard making chaos, so her stench is everywhere already. there is no reason for garfiel to hate subaru in this loop since he has no reason to believe subaru is giving off the smell of the witch, given that the smell of the witch is likely everywhere in the air rn. this unexpectedly gave a rare opportunity for subaru to team up with garfiel also garfiel attacks the WoE because well, no one knows how to recognize her in actual practice. shes been dead for 400 years, you just hear about her in fairytales and even then its vague. if i was garfiel and some shadow lady was making trouble in my village, id also attack too not knowing what im attacking
29:00 A knight wearing a handkerchief from a lady, as a promise to return home safely, (called a lady's favor) is significantly more romantic than Subaru realizes, or he might not have accepted Petra's favor, to begin with. Echidna is getting him out of a promise he doesn't know he's made.
Man, the fucking despair, I, as a viewer felt during this season is fucking nuts. Every episode introduced a new problem, at this point, I had no clue how Subaru would overcome it. It truly felt an impossible victory. Amazing writing!
Left eye, it would've been WAY worse if it was the right eye as Echidna says the left eye is nothing in comparison to the right eye. Also he ate arm before his mind caught up, not just started eating his hand.
Second wItch's Tea Party is banger. you have now met 5 of of the 7 witches(including Envy). The thinking of Gluttony is the most obviously twisted but all of their thinking is somewhat Twisted from a human perspective. 31:40 The surprise at Garf saving Subaru here is expected here, but keep in mind that this is happening at the very beginning of the loop right after Emilia, and Subaru entered the Tomb for the first trial, the other more confrontational interactions with Garfiel tend to happen a few days later 34:25 From previous info what Roswal has is one of the "near-perfect books of Wisdom" of which only 2 exist(the other is owned by Beatrice) unlike the defective "Gospels" that the Witch cultists have 35:00 The 3 archbishops we met were Sloth, Greed, and Gluttony 36:00 Some of your confusion here is expected at this point, some is from missing clues, but some is also that we got way way more info in the novels than they are able to provide in the anime(again despite it being a top-tier adaptation that does it's very best)
honestly id argue daphne is the most human out of all 7, id give the most twisted award over to echidna for being a total sociopath. atleast daphne can understand starvation, which is one more human feeling understood than echidna
@@xyouthe I don't agree but even assuming you were right, my point is that Daphne's twistedness is perhaps the most obvious at a glance given the conversations we've had, not that it is the most severe
One of the reasons Garf became suspicious of Subaru was the miasma. Or the scent of the witch. This also gets stronger after "Return by Death". It takes time to evaporate, so to speak. And now that Satella's shadow is everywhere, the scent of the witch is also everywhere. So Subaru's smell is masked. Does it make sense?
@@xyouthe Well, there's a difference between the most obvious and the most extreme. Daphne is definitely one of the more human as hunger is something that can be universally understood, and her divergence from human rationality isn't as extreme as some of the others and still seems logical and understandable to a degree (even if the end product of the Whale, Rabbit and Serpent are non-sensical), but it's expressed the most openly and consistently. Daphne's hunger is a core part of her that's pretty much always on display, unlike the others you cant forget how twisted she is because just looking at her is enough to remind you. Echidna at least plays the part of normal, Typhon is a relatively normal child as long as the topic of justice doesn't come up, Minerva just seems recklessly impulsive if you don't know the consequence of her power, Witch of Envy doesn't really count considering everything, and the others I wont comment on for spoiler reasons. I'd personally argue Minerva is the most human of them though, as basically every part of her being a Witch can be easily understood with human rationality until the end result. Pretty much everyone can understand the idea of someone who pursues the goal of helping others with reckless impulsivity without thinking of the consequences, that basically describes the archetype of shounen protagonists. The only part that diverges from human rationality is what the actual consequence is, no rational human would ever consider using Minerva's power so recklessly when they know it'll cause massive disasters and even more pain elsewhere in the world, yet Minerva does it without hesitation.
@@Nameless_949 This is not the actual reason, because turns out Garf cannot actually smell the witch at all. It is instead someone else close to him who can sense the Miasma
curious fact: in the light novel the witch of gluttony touches Subaru for a moment, in the way that while they are talking and without realizing it Subaru begins to be consumed by hunger in such a way that he begins to eat his own fingers (in the novel is told very explicitly). In the end Echidna separates them before Subaru devours himself.
9:49 yes your correct. The archbishop of greed is incredibly powerful to the point to where he's stronger than some of the witches. i'd say the black serpent is definitely the most interesting of the 3 great mabeasts.
he'd be as powerful as people say if he knew how to use his authority efficiently. sadly tho, hes a spoiled brat with a big ego so he's lazy about his potential since he thinks hes already so perfect
no, basically the chackpoint is formed to save subaru and subaru alone, it will reset after danger has passed if subaru survives or if he dies then it obviously resets to before he died. satella only cares about keeping subaru alive , she doesnt give a crap what he accomplishes lol plus in the novel, when subaru looked into daphne's right eye, he was totally overcome with hunger that he wanted to eat his own hand, and daphne says that the left eye is ever worse, that is basically what the witchbeasts feel 24/7.... insatiable hunger, oh that includes daphne, even she feels this hunger
Minerva is my favorite witch just because her introduction is so funny. It may have been lost in translation, but when she tells Subaru “Next time, I’ll just heal everyone!”, Subaru retorts “Don’t say that like you’re going to kill everyone!” This line was translated to “Don’t make it sound like a threat”, which loses the hilarity of the moment Not to mention the gag where she introduces herself then follows it with “My name isn’t worth giving!”.
She's also the hottest (barring Sekhmet arguably), plus I do like how she's at a core a nice girl who doesn't want people to fight or die, she's just Spoilers got a power that's among the most destructive in the entire series, and the emotional maturity of like an eight year-old, sorta like Typhon's long-lost sister that never grew up
Minerva reminds me of every doctor I ever met. She is not evil in any way. Tappei seems to be trying to persuade us otherwise. She even undoes the evil of the other witches.
Daphne's coffin is another unique mabeast created by her, and it is fueled by her sweat, saliva and urine. in the WN the scene is a bit longer, with daphne taking off her blindfold leading to Subaru eating his own body without noticing.
22:08 This part was cut from the anime and more btw this is from Light Novel. Subaru finally understands what Echidna said and how strange 7 Witches of Sins are. However, Daphne's praise of Gluttony continues. [Daphne : Subaru-ng should also try the limit of starvation. Then you will understand what I say. I'd love to eat Subaru-ng now, but Dnadna or Metmet will get angry. My left eye would be enough.] She take off her restraints, shows him her left golden-eye, and then falls into coffin. Subaru continues the talk chewing something in his mouth. When he suddenly realizes intense hunger, he could stay sane because he was already chewing his own 2 fingers. Moments later, Minerva appears from the sky and punched him once, which healed his fingers. [Subaru : Was that... the hunger Great Rabbits experience?] [Daphne : They were born inheriting Daphne's stomach, I could understand when they eat each other.]
Nice new place. Cant wait till you get more decorations in there 6:37 thats a bit off the mark his checkpoint updates, as said by echidna, when subaru manages to avoid a fate that leads to certain death. 9:34 youve already seen the serpent's venom in emilia's backstory OVA. that should come to mind 17:22 youd never guess what the consequence of her power is
@@magestag6208 (Spoilers) her power of healing is so powerful that it requires high levels of mana to do. which causes mana imbalances in the world leading to mana disasters so basically, if she healed a random persons bruise, somewhere else in the world, it causes a natural disaster more specific description: Authority of Wrath (憤怒の権能 Fundo no Ken'nō): Minerva is able to use the Authority of Wrath. Minerva's Authority of Wrath allowed her to drain mana directly from the soul of the world to forcibly rewrite cause-and-effect making her capable of healing anyone or anything.
Spoilers: What you said about Subaru's checkpoint avoiding certain death isn't exactly correct since there's an alternate route in the re zero mobile game where Subaru runs away in arc 3 and comes up with ways to decimate the sloth cultists. It works, and when he eventually dies, he goes all the way back to Rem's side in front of the appa stall. The check point is made when Subaru manages to accomplish specific details that must absolutely happen in the timeline. One proof of this being the case is the blank letter Subaru asked to be sent to the mansion (which was speculated to be written by Rem since he isn't literate enough at that point), an unavoidable result because it is impossible for Subaru to interact with the Apostle of Gluttony as he was fighting Betelgeuse. Because the checkpoint updated after defeating Betelgeuse and surviving, this means that Rem's disappearance is a true event written in fate.
It's not in the ln or hte anime but in the webnovel, the author created a scene to showcase why she is constrained. She undid the constrained and let him take a peek upon one of her eyes which made him fall into gluttony and start devouring his own hand down to his wrist. It took Minerva again to intervene to stop and heal him. Was a crazy scene to read, not gonna lie.
Oh good, was hoping someone mentioned this. Yet another thing you can kinda compare to Supernatural here, the Horseman Famine could make you so hungry that you'd eat the person next to you or stick your hads directly into boiling oil to grab food, a bunch of nasty horrendous stuff 😂
Luke, you could see in the episode the moment the Witch of Envy tried to reach Subaru for having talked about Return by Death to someone, but she was blocked by the fact he was in Echidna's dimension. So, she instead, took the body of Emilia and killed everybody in the village with the shadows.
From what I gather about the witches, especially this episode, is that they harbour the sin and try to satiate or reduce that sin that they are. For example, Gluttony is trying to satiate or reduce hunger of the world. Greed tries to satisfy the greed of knowledge of people. And so on.
Fun fact : I'm not sure about this cause I kinda forgot, but Satella's veil is not real. Only Subaru can see it cause he's in denial that Emilia literally looks like her.
32:30 the witch of envy manifested because subaru broke his taboo but also she couldnt punish him for it becuase he was in echidna's spirit world so the entire scenerio outside the tomb happened instead
What is said about the witches according to the description that Edchina gave the first time she met Subaru was that each of them tried to solve a problem in the world but in their own twisted way. For example, Daphne, the witch of envy, wanted to end world hunger by creating Mabeasts. and Minerva wanted to end wars by healing everyone on the battlefield...
One thing I love about Re:Zero is how it gives this sense of mystery: You get answers to some questions but also will have even more questions. I also think that one of Re:Zero's strengths is its dialogue. It has the power to make it feel like a lot is happening and going on even if events are happening only in a few locations, be it at the tea party or at the end of the episode. Re:Zero is one of those anime that requires paying attention and even then you may still miss important details or may take time to piece things together. It's like a puzzle and you are finding pieces one by one trying to see the whole picture. I'll be honest and admit I've watched the first season a lot more times than the second season so although I do remember things about the second season, there are some things that I can't remember in which order some of the events happened and I may be forgetting some details (it's been a while since I watched S2 the last time). Watching your reaction to S2 is a nice way to get rerun of S2 at the same time.
Echidna plays a huge role in the story. There may be a moment where you will be disappointed with her, but keep in mind that everything you see in the show is mostly presented through the point of view of certain characters, but that doesn't mean it reflects reality.
They already explained Garfiel's odd behaviour everytime Subaru wakes up... Every loop Subaru wakes up smelling like the witch even stronger... so the first time Garfiel had no issue with subaru... second time he was suspicious... Third time he completely distrusted subaru and this time even though subaru might smell way stronger, the witch seems to be right in front of them so subaru's smell does not matter at the moment... Garfiel still has his previous interaction with subaru in his mind and completely disregarded his smell given the circumstances...
9:30 We've actually seen the Black Serpent (or at least parts of its venom that attacked Emilia) from the Frozen Bonds OVA! As for the main storyline, you'll see a little glimpse of it this season, but you wouldn't know that it was the Black Serpent because the anime doesn't tell you what it is.
Can't wait for the next expisodes especially 11, and if you ask why the with of envy is suddenly here, maybe because Subaru said about return by death multiple time with Echidna in the castle of dream and she couldn't reach him
6:31 the closest theory of his checkpoint is, when he's satisfied to that loop. Example is after defeating the whale, he's completely satisfied on that loop because he still doesn't know Rem died.
18:15 Technically you're suppose to know already but it's easy to forget with everything that happened between when Echidna named all the witches a few episodes ago and now, that's also why Daphne's name sounded familiar. Typhon is the Witch of Pride, though yeah her whole "judging sinners" thing doesn't really make her sin obvious, but it makes sense once you realize that Typhon believes her justice is absolute to the point she didn't feel even the slightest bit bad about destroying Subaru's body, something that would've killed him had it happened outside the Castle of Dreams, simply because he views himself as a sinner despite her readily acknowledging he isn't a bad person. 21:26 Yeah, the witches are very much not the standard pure evil you'd expect from the embodiment of sins. A lot of them are people with genuinely good goals but are twisted and use messed up methods. Typhon just wants to judge bad people but her judgement is horrifically extreme and ignores context (again, trying to kill Subaru for merely thinking of himself as a sinner), Minerva wants to heal people but she's impulsive and doesn't consider the consequences (it's not explained in the anime, but Minverva's healing drains mana from other parts of the world resulting in disasters), Daphne wanted to sate hunger so she made beasts that can both feed the world and themselves (like she says, it's pretty arrogant to eat without considering being eaten yourself). 22:10 It's cut from the anime but Daphne's restraints are self imposed. Daphne suffers from an insatiable hunger and her restraint (which is actually a mabeast itself known as the Centipede Coffin, though it lacks a mind and is completely controlled by Daphne) was created with the belief that the very act of moving costed too much energy (thus making her even hungrier), and so she needed something to remove the need to move for her.
I have to say, all the Witches are incredibly interesting, and both them and the Archbishops are very creative in the way they relate to the sins they represent, but out of them all, Daphne and Echidna in particular really stand out to me. Echidna is for several reason, including how nice and suspicious she is at the same time and the way she looks so trustworthy and untrustworthy simultaneously, her thirst for knowledge resonating with me as someone who loves learning and understanding things too, her design being so good, etc. There's plenty to like with Echidna. Daphne though... She stands out for a very different reason. Out of all the Witches, she's the one who I find truly TERRIFYING. She's by far the one that disturbs and freaks me out the most, and I absolutely love the way that's done. And it's not only because she's intimidating, of her "kill or be killed" philosophy, or any other traditionally scary thing about her, it's also because of how alien she feels. I just don't understand her, and that's what scares me the most. Why is she restrained like that, yet able to move her coffin around freely? If it's because she can't control her hunger, than why is her mouth of all things completely free and uncovered? How does her mind work, and what kinda of emotions does she feel? I usually pride myself in reading people well, and my instincts about people almost always prove to be correct, so I trust my gut a lot when it comes to judging character, which is why Daphne makes me so wary. I don't really get her all that well, and what I do understand about her gives me very bad vibes. Honestly, in some senses she reminds me just a little bit of the way character are written in Made in Abyss, and the complex character writing is THE reason that series is one of my all time favorites, so this says a lot. All that said though, I do feel the need to mention that while Daphne really gets to me on an intellectual level, I do have to give Typhon credit, because she's probably the actual most terrifying one. She just doesn't hit as deep to me personally. There's something specially twisted about an absolute judge with extreme power that imposes their judgment through the simplistic morality of a child. People say children are cruel for a reason, and she's the zenith of that idea, which is a pretty awesome concept for a character.
6:40 if subaru successfully passes a event that killed him once before without dying for a certain amount of time it sets a new checkpoint (constantly) essentially (so that tthe next death can just use the same checkpoint i think of it as a timer) if he clears the event no matter who else died/recieved harm it sticks becuase subaru is ok to use teh same analogy u did an auto-save is made before starting the next main quest if he dies its forcibly reloads until he finishes the main quest fully and the final results override the auto save no matter how much he likes them
10:00 Yes, you are correct, Petelgeuse is the weakest Sin Archbishop, the one who eats people's names and memories (Lye Batenkaitos) is considerably stronger than Petelgeuse, since his way of fighting is very unique to him, and the person in white (Regulus Corneas) is basically infinity in terms of power
i think in a 1v1 between lye and regulus, lye would win without a doubt tho. you are right in what you say about regulus' power but thats just his potential. unfortunately he does not live up to his potential. lye's survivability isnt a question so his endurance in the fight is promised. i doubt it would take that long for lye to figure out regulus' authority. thats really what any fight against regulus comes down to, its up to whoever is actually able to figure out his authority before being killed by him
@@xyouthe No offense but I don't think you've read the novel if that's what you think. SPOILERS No one in Re:Zero can figure out Regulus's ability because it's related to the stars. Subaru likes astronomy so that's the only reason he was able to deduce his weakness. All Regulus has to do is breathe and Lye will die. And there's no way for Lye to land a hit on Regulus that will damage him. He's basically Gojo with Infinity but SEVERELY more OP. The only ones who can defeat Regulus is Ram (With her horn), Reinhard with his Dragon Sword, Reid, Satella and likely Volcanica.
@@TheRealMRCZ ARC 5 SPOILERS AND BEYOND lye doesnt need to land any hits on regulus, he should already know regulus cant be touched. we also don't know how much of a secret his wives are, but given how much he travels with them id doubt the witch's cult wouldnt know about them. you really think that lye wouldn't at one point aim for regulus' wives to see what happens? thats his only weakness anyway, and lye being as smart and dirty as he is would definitely switch targets when he feels overwhelmed. i mean hell, even in his fight with ram he would turn to go attack rem when it suited him. subaru's knowledge of stars only aided him in figuring out regulus' authority, lye could figure it out too especially since he knows more than most of the world about regulus. also i disagree on the other ones you listed as being able to kill regulus. i believe only reid can since he can also figure out regulus by seeing his authority's connection to his wives
@@xyouthe , You honestly believe Regulus will just sit there and let his wives be killed by Lye? First of all, Regulus keeps his harem KILOMETERS away from where he is, just to prevent them from dying, they are literally scattered across the world. Unless Lye is omniscient and knows where all of them are, he's not doing anything to them. Regulus will just blitz Lye and kill him, Regulus's authority can let him move so fast that it could shock Reinhard, and unless you want to say that Reinhard is slower than Lye, then re-read Arc 5 Volcanica is omnipotent as stated by Echidna in the Greed IF story, and Horned Ram has been stated to being able to defeat Regulus and Sekhmet, and Reinhard with the Dragon Sword can box Satella and possibly cut through the concept of time to hit Regulus. It was heavily implied Reinhard's Dragon Sword can cut through Regulus even with his authority.
@@TheRealMRCZ i have a hard time believing regulus could land a single hit on lye given that he cant land one easily on Subaru. idk what version of regulus you know but i know a lazy man who thinks hes perfectly and barely tries to use his powers even when hes mad. at his worst regulus started using his power somewhat smart, like when he started raining water dragon blood on subaru and emilia. otherwise i have a hard time believing he could land a finger on the leaper alone. whether or not horned ram or volcanica could slice thru his barrier is up for debate, neither of them are known to be able to slice invisible forces like that so we don't know. reid is a for sure, he not only can see thru regulus' authority but he could probably cut thru him too. reinhard's sword might be able to but like, it wont unsheathe for regulus so i dont see the point in arguing that if the sword wont find regulus worthy of being cut by it. my point is, regulus is careless. you can say he COULD put his wives kilometers away, but in arc 5 he chose to have them in the city, not hidden away whatsoever. if subaru and reinhard can find his sloppily hidden wives that easily, lye could do it faster. regulus is strong, but hes a sloppy idiot with his authority, thats why i think even lye could outsmart and beat him. same thing with you saying regulus could blitz lye. he COULD, but would he? and how effectively will he do it? there is a lot of coulds you can come up with for regulus but in practice he wont live up to his potential
Luke:can’t remember which sin Betelgeuse is the archbishop of The first thing I think of when remembering Betelgeuse: SLOTH! SLOTH! SLOTH! THIS IS SLOTH!
Minerva - the witch that heals people by beating the crap out of them. And the sad thing is... Minerva threatening to heal everyone might be the most terrifying threat there is.
21:20 to add to this so you understand better she made EVERY witch beast not just the 3 great ones (some of them by accident) so yes she did make more normal ones but they still take more than a full village to take out a decent amount of them at once (also they all taste awfful for eating according to some sidestories) also at 21:30 you are correct most of the witches have decent to good intentions but when fufilling them commit the worst attroicities ever (lust and echidna are purely selfish intentions but they help people sometimes while doing so) and the witch of envy picked the absolute worst way to go about hers compared to teh others
In a description of the author's Daphne character. She said that the coffin in which she sleeps is actually a Ma-beast created by her to be able to move without having to walk. as well as the restrictions and chains that she has on her, which were placed by herself to move as little as possible and that her hunger does not grow. It's a shame that they will change this meeting from what it was on the web novel. In it when they discuss the Ma-beasts, Daphne tells Subaru that she would understand if she suffered a little from the hunger that both she and the Ma-beasts suffer from. You make Subaru look at one of her eyes for a second and then Subaru unaware of her starts eating her own fingers without caring about the pain until Minerva appears again to heal him.
You have already been indirectly introduced to the Black Serpent. Remember in The Frozen Bonds, Emilia had tried to stop it's venom from attacking the village.
Just clarifying one thing: There is no Sin Archbishop of Envy since the Witch of that sin is still alive. Another thing is the Author stated that Sin Archbishop of Greed (Guy in White) is the only Archbishop to be stronger than the original witch of that sin, i.e, Echidna
A bit of trivia: in the web novel, when Subaru met Daphne (the witch of Gluttony), she showed him of one of her eyes, which affected him with her authority, making Subaru eat his own arm. Here's a translated excerpt: Famished, with his thoughts in such disarray to almost dispel his consciousness, Subaru loses cognizance of reality. He pants and writhes in agony as he rolls on the ground to and fro. The action merely fosters the hunger. Before long, he settles atop the plain, trembling like an insect. Starvation to drive a man crazed. He hungers. Life-threatening. An open hole, in his stomach. Dying and apt to die, no food right now and he will die. He will die. He was dying. Daphne: “You still have-n't, no-ticed yet?” Daphne looks down at a suffering, anguishing Subaru-although in reality her eyes reflect him not, between his voice and her sense of smell she appears to have grasped his condition. Subaru didn't understand what she meant. Who gave a crap about noticing, he was starving enough to near drive him insane. Although he comprehended that this was a result of her doings, the starvation beats out resentment. He needed to satisfy this hunger. That he was barely holding onto consciousness was thanks to this thing he'd been chewing for a- Subaru: “-” What, was Subaru, eating, right now? Daphne: “You noticed? That's what GLUTTONY is.” Hearing her words, Subaru notices his right hand-missing the little and ring finger. Where'd the missing fingers go? No point searching. Right now, in his mouth, his teeth just crushed his pinky to bits. Blood flows from his severed nubs, painting the green field with crimson. Watching the droplets fall, Subaru's mind goes blank. With the passing of seconds, something comes to fill the blankness. A feeling. Of, -Ahh, what a waste of blood.
It is widely agreed upon that the witch of envy is there trying to destroy everything Subaru cares about because he shared their special bond of return by death with Echidna.
White whale makes them forget about hunger,Great rabbit feeds/satisfy's their hunger and Black serpent eliminates hunger by eliminating those with hunger.(Yes,The black serpent is the one meant to kill,so its very deadly)
I got you a cool exercise, Luke. Count every time you have said you like Echidna, and then if by the end of the 2nd season you change your mind, you will have to do 5 push-ups for every time you thought that you like her. If you don't change your mind about her then you have to take a sip of water for every time you thought that you like her.
18:20 you get names and basic powers for the 7 witches of sins in arc 4 (season 2 of the anime start to end is all of arc 4 of light novels) so dont worry about it
After watching the witch meeting a second time, I just realized something. I think Typhon wasn't messing with Subaru, but rather showing him her powers. Maybe during the interaction she gave Subaru the Authority of Sloth.
The Witch of Envy appeared at the sanctuary because Subaru snitched too much back at the tea party. Not always does punishment from WoE comes in the form of harming Subaru directly. As seen when she killed Emilia instead, this time she escalated her antics a tad.
The only reason Subaru didn’t bleed was because his soul is what crumbled. Can you imagine running into Typhon, getting your armed ripped off, only to be called a good person and bleed to death.
I didn't read as far but the” person in the white suit” was stated to be able to more or less easily destroy the most heavily guarded fortress in vollacia (south of lugunica) and on top of that beat somebody of equal strength as Wilhelm the sword devil completely alone (and there were like over a thousand men stationed or something like that) btw it's no spoiler since it was mentioned in the ln but cut in the anime adaptation
Subaru told Echidna about his return by death but it happened inside the castle of dreams. So Satella despite being locked away still showed her presence inside the sanctuary, forcing Subaru out of the castle of dreams and taking out her anger on those he cares about
35:23 (this isnt actually something they reveal its just me making up logic on how the witch can escape) shes sealed far away where mana flows poorly however that seal was made by 2 people (who werent long living races) and a dragon according to legend its been 400 years so unless they got some nice magic they are probably died (the sage is labeled as missing for plot reasons sword saint/master swordsman is dead) so only 1/3 is really maintaining the seal if u think about it since shes world ending strong and is still using her magic on subaru and also emilia in that one loop even from inside the seal (aka shes been interacting with the outside world at least minimally the entire time in reality)
I will say the echo in the room is noticeable, but not bad. I could easily get used to it, but if it bugs you then you could get like sound suppressing decor 👌
Honestly, in terms of powers/abilities, Re:zero is the second anime with the most menacingly villains I've ever seen, almost all of them feels like they are a force of nature, an absolute threat that can't be stopped The only anime I've seen that surpasses this position is JoJo's Bizarre adventure
Garfiel was fine with Suburu before he smelled like the witch. When he see's Suburu here, he's literally being hugged by the witch, so it makes sense that he doesn't consider the smell/miasma coming from Suburu himself.
My theory is that Satella (witch of envy) took over Emilia's body, like Betelgeouse tried to do with subaru. That's why Emilia is a "vessel" and the witch cult is trying to "put the witch in her", or so they said in season 1.
About the black serpent's usability. Although it is never explained by Daphne herself, we can assume that it has to do with the requirements for Gluttony The white whale's is about size and the Gluttony that comes with wanting to eat large amounts of something The great rabbit is about quantity and the Gluttony that comes from starvation (you wouldn't have to worry about starving with something that is infinite) The black serpent has got to be about the taste. I assume the poisonous sludge the serpent produces is drinkable and tastes so incredible like the best liquor you've ever had, but also kills you because it's still poison. a once in a lifetime deal if you ask me
i mean yeah the cam mic just sounded better and more well "accurate" to what we know your voice should sound like, also it was just better sounding both on my speakers and earphones
Audio seems fine for me, but I use speakers to watch, so the echo isn't that bad for me watching/listening to. I bet they weren't at all what you were expecting of these Witches, but they all are very different in character & personality and love them all in how unique each one acts. Really enjoying your reactions to this series & glad you are so hooked on it to! 😄 Totally biased, but Wrath/Minerva is my favorite among them all! 💖
This hasn't been proven but is a theory I have had for a while based on two facts: 1. Witches are able to erase your memories as compensation or something. 2. Subaru is able to return to a checkpoint upon his death but we never see him gain this ability to Return by Death. I believe that Subaru does something in the timeline to help the Witch of Envy who gives him the power of Return by Death as a reward. Something happens to erase his memory of this and he then dies which activates Return by Death causing him to begin the entire series from the start again. Essentially I believe that Subaru had already reset once when the series first started but has no memory of this.
The second season really was the highlight of the anime for me, it made me really consider this anime my top 1! Thanks to that I read the novels and my friend, this only gets better, season 3 is going to be even more insane
Tables made for a parasol have the hole in the middle to allow for a "holder" for the parasol... but fancy ones would not have it because they are a bit bigger and allow you to place both the table and parasol at the most appropriate place to create the shade better suited to your preferences... also this is not an industrialized world...
it's been years since i heard this so this might just be misinformation, but i heard that daphne's reason for creating the black serpent was to end hunger by ending life; if i'm not spewing misinformation on the internet, it was probably cut from this episode because there was no reason for it in the flow of the conversation considering adaptation limitations edit: 31:35 i love garf's unpredictability
You’ve finally met her. The true best girl. We have lied all along. Some have said Rem, others Emilia, and some Otto, but all have been lying or wrong. Minerva, witch of wrath, is the one true best girl. Also day 4 of requesting Luke react to the new Phase Connect generation’s original songs.

Use Headphones on the Emilia/Satella scene when this episode aired we did not know the studio used a ASMR Head microphone
BTW Echidna is best Wingwoman she just helping her homegirl Satella with her man Subaru
Satella showed up because he kept telling Echidna he can return by death. Re-watch the end of this episode, and the next with headphones on because all of Satella's audio was recorded with an ASMR microphone and you cant get the proper effect listening over desktop speakers.
Pretty sure satella is there because subaru gave echidna tge "payment" and echidna just shove it up satellas face saying "hey look, someone is after your man" so satella is just here to erase that hussy out of existence
in the novel the witch of Gluttony shows him one of her eyes and he proceeds to eat his arm
Since it never really is explained in the anime why Satella appears, I might as well explain it now: Remember, whenever Subaru talks about Return by Death Satella's hand appears. But this time nothing happened, because Subaru was safe from her in the castle of dreams, right? Well, at 6:28 you can actually see how Satella's hand tries to reach him, but since he is in Echidna's dream world, it fails. That's why Satella pays a little visit to the sanctuary by hijacking Emilia's body, which is implied in the novels.
Also, when Satella hugs Subaru, she sees his memories about Petra and Rem, both of whom Subaru cares deeply about (you can even see these flashes of memories when she hugs him). And since she is the Witch of Envy, she wants to monopolize Subaru's affection for herself, so she turns towards the mansion in order to eradicate them.
Also, you saw the poison of the Black Serpent already. That was the black slime in the forest of the Frozen Bonds OVA.
The reason why Subaru was safe in the castle of dreams is because death doesn't exist there and his power gets somewhat sealed away? Because Satella literally entered that place in later episodes, I started reading the novels recently and I'm yet to arrive at Arc 4.

Satella and Witch of Envy are two separate beings. Satella isn't compatible with the Envy Witch Factor, which caused her to split personalities. Satella is good, WItch of Envy is the envy incarnate
bro is kinda spoiling
yeah, saying SHe borrowed Emilia's body is a spoiler already@@xRedivivus
yooooooo idk about this ....
Very often people are confused about why the Witch is here at the end. You only need to look at previous episode, where Subaru told Echidna about Return by Death A LOT. Since she could not reach him there to hug him to death to shut him up, the only obvious choice was to come in person ;)
She didn't show up in person. That's Emilia with the Stella's miasma covering her.
@@sawyerslack9782Presumably, her body was taken over by Satella. Her clothing is different from Emilia's.
@@sawyerslack9782that ain't confirmed tho, it's just a theory
. I never read the manga so it's just my guess, I suppose.
@@aymanabdullah9662in the LN it's heavily implied by Garf
AHH SATELLA ASMR, MY BRAIN TREMBLESss . but yes indeed the reason why she shows up out of nowhere is coz subaru kept saying that he could return by death, our lil witch got envious hehe. also do you remember seeing the venom/poison of the black serpent in the frozen bonds ova (emilia's backstory) , it was that black glob thingy.
Listen to this man. He knows what he's talking about
I completely forgot that was the venom 🤔
17:19 She heals people by attacking them, as she displayed with Subaru, hence her name as the witch of wrath.
it makes sense how it works though. Minerva's authority uses a boatload of mana but not her own. It takes from somewhere in the world where she isn't, causing an imbalance, which leads to all kinds of disasters
she's angry at the world that would hurt people so her Wrath manifests in an attack against the world as she heals the injured
nevermind how she'll ignore the fact that she causes more injuries to the people in the areas where disasters happen since she can't see it happening in front of her. Then she hears word of those injuries and rush there to heal, leading always to an ever present cycle fueling her Wrath
@@LuminousArc92 know that you mention this, it made me think. what happens then when minerva heals subaru? i mean its the castle of dreams but shes still using her authority. where does that consquence go i wonder? can she heal without consequences because she is in the castle of dreams? there are some questions to be asked
@@xyouthe Isn't it basically like a dream? I'd imagine that there wouldn't have to be consequences like usual in the castle of dreams
@@xyouthe u think it don't have since he can talk about returning by death and satella not showing
Oooooh
30:45 Remember when Subaru used Return By Death during the battle with the White Whale, and Satella showed up and whispered something in his ear? Well, now you know what she said!
Just a note: The word Satella uses for "I love you" is _aishiteru,_ which isn't used often because of it's intensity. You still can, but it would be more common to use some version of _suki_ to express what's usually meant by "I love you." _Aishiteru_ is more like what you'd say on your wedding day, or on your deathbed.
I think Will used it that one time, after defeating Whale. Which was a natural way to use it.
yea, but again he was saying it to his deceased wife after avenging her death so it's a pretty powerful moment worthy of that version.@@tri99er_
@@tri99er_ you just reminded me of a beautiful scene damn. the story of wilhelm and thereasia is such a tragic one. cant wait for season 3 to expand more on it!
Just adding onto the usage of what you mentioned,
Aishiteru uses 愛, which means love.
Suki uses 好, which means good/well.
At least based on Chinese roots.
So, the first phrase definitely holds most intense feelings. The second is more versatile and varies based on context, allowing it to mean more of liking someone or something to loving it, though less than the first.
Ooooh that's what she said 🤯
I absolutely love how utterly incomprehensible the witches' morality and logic seems. It really makes them feel otherworldly.
Fun fact, in the novels, Echidna warns Subaru not to touch Daphne AFTER Subaru already had his arm ripped off by Typhon. The adaptation really makes him seem incredibly dumb here, hahaha.
Have fun decorating your new office!
Subaru eats his own arm after Daphne makes him feel overwhelmingly starved in the web novel.
Subaru's checkpoints will usually update whenever he reaches a point where he is no longer in danger of being caught in a death loop. So yes, it works very similar to checkpoints in a video game. The black sludge in The Frozen Bond movie was venom from the Black Serpent, so you've seen a bit of it as well. The Whale and the Rabbit were both made with the idea of feeding as many people as possible. The Black Serpent, on the other hand, was made purely to reduce the number of mouths that need to be fed. All of the Witches are fun characters, but I really like Daphne. Her weird, somewhat logical, somewhat insane thought process really exemplifies the difference between humans and witches.
It might help to think of The Witch of Envy as the ultimate yandere lol. The only reason why she would head for the mansion instead of Subaru, is to remove the competition for his affections...
Glad you're enjoying the show so much!
meanwhile, wise subaru with glottony witch factor:
i'll make a tree which can create infinite fruits so no one starve and it so resilient its pretty much impossible to damage it. when there are too many people overall, the tree will sense it and modify the property of the fruit so people who eat it wont have childs for a while. that way no one feel hungry and no one will die or even got too much people on planet.
SATELLA ASMR LETS GO! Highly recommend you to rewatch the scene on your own time with headphones on both ears, the audio moves form one side to the other. Also congrats on the move hope that’ll make it more pleasant to record your reactions!
10:11 Powerscaling in Re:Zero is a bit difficult honestly idk why people would even tell you this instead of letting you see for yourself but yeah Regulus (white haired Greed guy) is really OP even tho I’d say gluttonies authority is way scarier since he can just turn you into an empty shell
13:13 You heard Daphnes name in the 3rd episode of this season when Echidna talked about all the different witches of sin
17:38 Time for more fun facts. This Spider coffin actually runs on the witch of gluttonies poop. You’re welcome. Also Cut content from the light novel Daphne removed her eye cover and without realizing Subaru was starting to eat his own hand
18:02 Typhoon the witch of Pride
21:18 For population control so there’s less people using recourses also you heard about the Black Serpent in the Emilia OVA but the black sludge was only the blood of the serpent and not the Serpent itsel
32:41 During the conversation Subaru had with Echidna you can see the hand trying to reach out to him. He repeated that he can return by death so many times but Satella couldn’t reach him to grab his heart in the dream world. Since you’re at least one episode ahead I can already tell you that she took over Emilia’s body and manifested herself
33:30 He said before he event watched the after credit scene lmao. Bet you’re missing the directors cut now, sorry but the cliffhangers will just keep going the entire season
34:25 Sounds like you’re finally losing your marbles. You’re officially a Re:Zero fan now congrats! And Betelgeuse is the sin archbishop of Sloth
25:23 I mean she also grabs his heart somehow every time Subaru talks about his ability, she’s so powerful they couldn’t even kill her and she had to be restrained so even tho she’s supposed to be locked away it makes sense she’d somehow find loopholes
Glad you’re enjoying Re:Zero so much. I’m really excited for the 3rd season and to see your reactions weekly it’ll be the best season yet
"Cut content from the light novel Daphne"
Isn't that from the Web Novel though?
@@daimahou3951 you might be right. I’m not too sure since I got the light novels but only from volume 16 onwards
Satella didn't take over Emilia's body. Just happened Emilia got trapped in the shadows like others.
@@blackcid I’ll play it to fall asleep like a lullaby
@@sairadice7681 not true lol
You got it somewhat wrong, it isn't when he achieves something that is considered destiny that a new checkpoint is formed.
- As she explained it, the power was granted to him so he could escape his destiny of "true death" and it is only meant for him and not anyone else, if Emilia or Rem or whoever dies but he overcomes his "death" a new checkpoint will be made after he has done so as such leaving the people he loves behind, well, to remain dead.
More light novel trivia! The scene where Satela keeps repeating Aishteru ( I love you ) in the light novel it was a whole entire page filled with the phrase repeated the whole time.
from the novel to echidna -> envy: not a finger, not an hair, not a word, mine, kill kill kill kill, love you love you llove you , kill kill kill kill kill kill
Oh damn 🤯
The irony of Betelgeuse trying to sacrifice Emilia's body as a vessel for satella when she can apparently just do that on her own. Anyway all the witches are definitely interesting characters. It was surprising actually seeing them this early in the series. Rezero really is just unpredictable sometimes.
Isn’t that a spoiler? I think this scene is telling that ”witch of envy really showed up” and not because she possesed the girl or something.
Satella didn't took over Emilia's body, I believe so.
@@sairadice7681 in the novels its implied she did, in the anime youre just left to wonder.
@@DemiCape not really spoiler because the anime never answers it for you, but in the novels its implied that yes, satella used emilia's body as a vessel
@@xyouthe I mean they made it a point to say she was missing, so it's pretty obvious.
keep in mind that garfiel ONLY starts hating subaru once he exits the tomb, due to the smell of the witch. this time though, the witch seems to be in the graveyard making chaos, so her stench is everywhere already. there is no reason for garfiel to hate subaru in this loop since he has no reason to believe subaru is giving off the smell of the witch, given that the smell of the witch is likely everywhere in the air rn. this unexpectedly gave a rare opportunity for subaru to team up with garfiel
also garfiel attacks the WoE because well, no one knows how to recognize her in actual practice. shes been dead for 400 years, you just hear about her in fairytales and even then its vague. if i was garfiel and some shadow lady was making trouble in my village, id also attack too not knowing what im attacking
29:00 A knight wearing a handkerchief from a lady, as a promise to return home safely, (called a lady's favor) is significantly more romantic than Subaru realizes, or he might not have accepted Petra's favor, to begin with. Echidna is getting him out of a promise he doesn't know he's made.
Don't you love how EVERY EPISODE ADDS A NEW PROBLEM ON TOP OF WHAT EVER THE FUCK ELSE IS GOING ON. It really is a very well done season 2
Man, the fucking despair, I, as a viewer felt during this season is fucking nuts.
Every episode introduced a new problem, at this point, I had no clue how Subaru would overcome it. It truly felt an impossible victory.
Amazing writing!
Absolutely, every fix somehow is disguised as two f ups
Funfact : 19:40 In WN Daphne showed her right eye to Subaru , which literally made him so hungry that he started eating his own hand .
Left eye, it would've been WAY worse if it was the right eye as Echidna says the left eye is nothing in comparison to the right eye. Also he ate arm before his mind caught up, not just started eating his hand.
@@Midnight-wh2bs ic , thanks for correcting me 👍
Second wItch's Tea Party is banger. you have now met 5 of of the 7 witches(including Envy). The thinking of Gluttony is the most obviously twisted but all of their thinking is somewhat Twisted from a human perspective.
31:40 The surprise at Garf saving Subaru here is expected here, but keep in mind that this is happening at the very beginning of the loop right after Emilia, and Subaru entered the Tomb for the first trial, the other more confrontational interactions with Garfiel tend to happen a few days later
34:25 From previous info what Roswal has is one of the "near-perfect books of Wisdom" of which only 2 exist(the other is owned by Beatrice) unlike the defective "Gospels" that the Witch cultists have
35:00 The 3 archbishops we met were Sloth, Greed, and Gluttony
36:00 Some of your confusion here is expected at this point, some is from missing clues, but some is also that we got way way more info in the novels than they are able to provide in the anime(again despite it being a top-tier adaptation that does it's very best)
honestly id argue daphne is the most human out of all 7, id give the most twisted award over to echidna for being a total sociopath. atleast daphne can understand starvation, which is one more human feeling understood than echidna
@@xyouthe I don't agree but even assuming you were right, my point is that Daphne's twistedness is perhaps the most obvious at a glance given the conversations we've had, not that it is the most severe
One of the reasons Garf became suspicious of Subaru was the miasma. Or the scent of the witch. This also gets stronger after "Return by Death".
It takes time to evaporate, so to speak.
And now that Satella's shadow is everywhere, the scent of the witch is also everywhere. So Subaru's smell is masked. Does it make sense?
@@xyouthe Well, there's a difference between the most obvious and the most extreme. Daphne is definitely one of the more human as hunger is something that can be universally understood, and her divergence from human rationality isn't as extreme as some of the others and still seems logical and understandable to a degree (even if the end product of the Whale, Rabbit and Serpent are non-sensical), but it's expressed the most openly and consistently. Daphne's hunger is a core part of her that's pretty much always on display, unlike the others you cant forget how twisted she is because just looking at her is enough to remind you. Echidna at least plays the part of normal, Typhon is a relatively normal child as long as the topic of justice doesn't come up, Minerva just seems recklessly impulsive if you don't know the consequence of her power, Witch of Envy doesn't really count considering everything, and the others I wont comment on for spoiler reasons.
I'd personally argue Minerva is the most human of them though, as basically every part of her being a Witch can be easily understood with human rationality until the end result. Pretty much everyone can understand the idea of someone who pursues the goal of helping others with reckless impulsivity without thinking of the consequences, that basically describes the archetype of shounen protagonists. The only part that diverges from human rationality is what the actual consequence is, no rational human would ever consider using Minerva's power so recklessly when they know it'll cause massive disasters and even more pain elsewhere in the world, yet Minerva does it without hesitation.
@@Nameless_949 This is not the actual reason, because turns out Garf cannot actually smell the witch at all. It is instead someone else close to him who can sense the Miasma
curious fact: in the light novel the witch of gluttony touches Subaru for a moment, in the way that while they are talking and without realizing it Subaru begins to be consumed by hunger in such a way that he begins to eat his own fingers (in the novel is told very explicitly). In the end Echidna separates them before Subaru devours himself.
9:49 yes your correct. The archbishop of greed is incredibly powerful to the point to where he's stronger than some of the witches. i'd say the black serpent is definitely the most interesting of the 3 great mabeasts.
he'd be as powerful as people say if he knew how to use his authority efficiently. sadly tho, hes a spoiled brat with a big ego so he's lazy about his potential since he thinks hes already so perfect
We'll probably only see it when Pandora appears in the main story (not a flashback) tho
Not just some of the witches. Regulus is stronger than all witches except Satella combined.
All of the authorities have the same thing in common. They seem invincible until you find their one flaw.
I'm definitely excited to see the serpent 🤔
no, basically the chackpoint is formed to save subaru and subaru alone, it will reset after danger has passed if subaru survives or if he dies then it obviously resets to before he died. satella only cares about keeping subaru alive , she doesnt give a crap what he accomplishes lol
plus in the novel, when subaru looked into daphne's right eye, he was totally overcome with hunger that he wanted to eat his own hand, and daphne says that the left eye is ever worse, that is basically what the witchbeasts feel 24/7.... insatiable hunger, oh that includes daphne, even she feels this hunger
Minerva is my favorite witch just because her introduction is so funny. It may have been lost in translation, but when she tells Subaru “Next time, I’ll just heal everyone!”, Subaru retorts “Don’t say that like you’re going to kill everyone!” This line was translated to “Don’t make it sound like a threat”, which loses the hilarity of the moment
Not to mention the gag where she introduces herself then follows it with “My name isn’t worth giving!”.
She's also the hottest (barring Sekhmet arguably), plus I do like how she's at a core a nice girl who doesn't want people to fight or die, she's just
Spoilers
got a power that's among the most destructive in the entire series, and the emotional maturity of like an eight year-old, sorta like Typhon's long-lost sister that never grew up
Minerva reminds me of every doctor I ever met. She is not evil in any way. Tappei seems to be trying to persuade us otherwise. She even undoes the evil of the other witches.
😂
@@badwulff Minerva is hot but you can't tell me Echidna's floofy white eyelashes don't turn you on 👀
Daphne's coffin is another unique mabeast created by her, and it is fueled by her sweat, saliva and urine. in the WN the scene is a bit longer, with daphne taking off her blindfold leading to Subaru eating his own body without noticing.
That's why it feels like something is off. What I remembered is in web novel 😅
22:08 This part was cut from the anime and more btw this is from Light Novel.
Subaru finally understands what Echidna said and how strange 7 Witches of Sins are. However, Daphne's praise of Gluttony continues.
[Daphne : Subaru-ng should also try the limit of starvation. Then you will understand what I say. I'd love to eat Subaru-ng now, but Dnadna or Metmet will get angry. My left eye would be enough.]
She take off her restraints, shows him her left golden-eye, and then falls into coffin.
Subaru continues the talk chewing something in his mouth. When he suddenly realizes intense hunger, he could stay sane because he was already chewing his own 2 fingers. Moments later, Minerva appears from the sky and punched him once, which healed his fingers.
[Subaru : Was that... the hunger Great Rabbits experience?]
[Daphne : They were born inheriting Daphne's stomach, I could understand when they eat each other.]
This is from the web novel, not the light novel, which the anime is adapting
Nice new place. Cant wait till you get more decorations in there
6:37 thats a bit off the mark
his checkpoint updates, as said by echidna, when subaru manages to avoid a fate that leads to certain death.
9:34
youve already seen the serpent's venom in emilia's backstory OVA. that should come to mind
17:22
youd never guess what the consequence of her power is
whats the consequence of her power?
@@magestag6208 (Spoilers)
her power of healing is so powerful that it requires high levels of mana to do. which causes mana imbalances in the world leading to mana disasters
so basically, if she healed a random persons bruise, somewhere else in the world, it causes a natural disaster
more specific description:
Authority of Wrath (憤怒の権能 Fundo no Ken'nō): Minerva is able to use the Authority of Wrath. Minerva's Authority of Wrath allowed her to drain mana directly from the soul of the world to forcibly rewrite cause-and-effect making her capable of healing anyone or anything.
Spoilers:
What you said about Subaru's checkpoint avoiding certain death isn't exactly correct since there's an alternate route in the re zero mobile game where Subaru runs away in arc 3 and comes up with ways to decimate the sloth cultists. It works, and when he eventually dies, he goes all the way back to Rem's side in front of the appa stall.
The check point is made when Subaru manages to accomplish specific details that must absolutely happen in the timeline. One proof of this being the case is the blank letter Subaru asked to be sent to the mansion (which was speculated to be written by Rem since he isn't literate enough at that point), an unavoidable result because it is impossible for Subaru to interact with the Apostle of Gluttony as he was fighting Betelgeuse. Because the checkpoint updated after defeating Betelgeuse and surviving, this means that Rem's disappearance is a true event written in fate.
@@LckD008 bruv. No spoil. I was going off of echidna's explanation.
I know there is more detail to RBD
It's not in the ln or hte anime but in the webnovel, the author created a scene to showcase why she is constrained.
She undid the constrained and let him take a peek upon one of her eyes which made him fall into gluttony and start devouring his own hand down to his wrist.
It took Minerva again to intervene to stop and heal him.
Was a crazy scene to read, not gonna lie.
Oh good, was hoping someone mentioned this. Yet another thing you can kinda compare to Supernatural here, the Horseman Famine could make you so hungry that you'd eat the person next to you or stick your hads directly into boiling oil to grab food, a bunch of nasty horrendous stuff 😂
Luke, you could see in the episode the moment the Witch of Envy tried to reach Subaru for having talked about Return by Death to someone, but she was blocked by the fact he was in Echidna's dimension. So, she instead, took the body of Emilia and killed everybody in the village with the shadows.
Luke you gotta rewatch it while wearing the headphones properly, the audio for that scene is just insane!
From what I gather about the witches, especially this episode, is that they harbour the sin and try to satiate or reduce that sin that they are. For example, Gluttony is trying to satiate or reduce hunger of the world. Greed tries to satisfy the greed of knowledge of people. And so on.
With disastrous results.
They are all really really really bad at their jobs.
@@chaosmastermind considering that they are titled witches, they are doing their job perfectly.
23:50 funfact: that walking coffin daphne is in is actually another witchbeast she made as a transport for herself
Love seeing Luke get answers just to have another 10 or more as the episode ends.
Yup... It's fun 😂
Fun fact : I'm not sure about this cause I kinda forgot, but Satella's veil is not real. Only Subaru can see it cause he's in denial that Emilia literally looks like her.
The snake exists to eliminate hunger by eliminating all those who feel hunger
14:14 Yes, you already know this voice actress (Kuno, Misaki), because she voiced Frederica (86) and Faputa (Made in Abyss)
32:30 the witch of envy manifested because subaru broke his taboo but also she couldnt punish him for it becuase he was in echidna's spirit world so the entire scenerio outside the tomb happened instead
What is said about the witches according to the description that Edchina gave the first time she met Subaru was that each of them tried to solve a problem in the world but in their own twisted way. For example, Daphne, the witch of envy, wanted to end world hunger by creating Mabeasts. and Minerva wanted to end wars by healing everyone on the battlefield...
One thing I love about Re:Zero is how it gives this sense of mystery: You get answers to some questions but also will have even more questions. I also think that one of Re:Zero's strengths is its dialogue. It has the power to make it feel like a lot is happening and going on even if events are happening only in a few locations, be it at the tea party or at the end of the episode. Re:Zero is one of those anime that requires paying attention and even then you may still miss important details or may take time to piece things together. It's like a puzzle and you are finding pieces one by one trying to see the whole picture.
I'll be honest and admit I've watched the first season a lot more times than the second season so although I do remember things about the second season, there are some things that I can't remember in which order some of the events happened and I may be forgetting some details (it's been a while since I watched S2 the last time). Watching your reaction to S2 is a nice way to get rerun of S2 at the same time.
Black serpent was featured in frozen bond OVA.
So glad you didn't miss the aftercredits scene, you're one of the only reactors to not miss it 😁
Echidna plays a huge role in the story. There may be a moment where you will be disappointed with her, but keep in mind that everything you see in the show is mostly presented through the point of view of certain characters, but that doesn't mean it reflects reality.
They already explained Garfiel's odd behaviour everytime Subaru wakes up... Every loop Subaru wakes up smelling like the witch even stronger... so the first time Garfiel had no issue with subaru... second time he was suspicious... Third time he completely distrusted subaru and this time even though subaru might smell way stronger, the witch seems to be right in front of them so subaru's smell does not matter at the moment... Garfiel still has his previous interaction with subaru in his mind and completely disregarded his smell given the circumstances...
I'm happy for your new office, it's a blank canvas to decorate
24:53 Again ...Luke ↔️ Subaru moment 😂
Echidna is great.
I can't believe you missed the witch ASMR because of your headset positioning! You could've felt just what Subaru felt at that moment! 😆
9:30 We've actually seen the Black Serpent (or at least parts of its venom that attacked Emilia) from the Frozen Bonds OVA! As for the main storyline, you'll see a little glimpse of it this season, but you wouldn't know that it was the Black Serpent because the anime doesn't tell you what it is.
Can't wait for the next expisodes especially 11, and if you ask why the with of envy is suddenly here, maybe because Subaru said about return by death multiple time with Echidna in the castle of dream and she couldn't reach him
The cliffhangers and very small drops of revelation on each episode are gonna be insane starting now.
6:31 the closest theory of his checkpoint is, when he's satisfied to that loop. Example is after defeating the whale, he's completely satisfied on that loop because he still doesn't know Rem died.
18:15 Technically you're suppose to know already but it's easy to forget with everything that happened between when Echidna named all the witches a few episodes ago and now, that's also why Daphne's name sounded familiar. Typhon is the Witch of Pride, though yeah her whole "judging sinners" thing doesn't really make her sin obvious, but it makes sense once you realize that Typhon believes her justice is absolute to the point she didn't feel even the slightest bit bad about destroying Subaru's body, something that would've killed him had it happened outside the Castle of Dreams, simply because he views himself as a sinner despite her readily acknowledging he isn't a bad person.
21:26 Yeah, the witches are very much not the standard pure evil you'd expect from the embodiment of sins. A lot of them are people with genuinely good goals but are twisted and use messed up methods. Typhon just wants to judge bad people but her judgement is horrifically extreme and ignores context (again, trying to kill Subaru for merely thinking of himself as a sinner), Minerva wants to heal people but she's impulsive and doesn't consider the consequences (it's not explained in the anime, but Minverva's healing drains mana from other parts of the world resulting in disasters), Daphne wanted to sate hunger so she made beasts that can both feed the world and themselves (like she says, it's pretty arrogant to eat without considering being eaten yourself).
22:10 It's cut from the anime but Daphne's restraints are self imposed. Daphne suffers from an insatiable hunger and her restraint (which is actually a mabeast itself known as the Centipede Coffin, though it lacks a mind and is completely controlled by Daphne) was created with the belief that the very act of moving costed too much energy (thus making her even hungrier), and so she needed something to remove the need to move for her.
We actually met a part of Black Serpent. In Frozen Bonds Emilia was fighting against its venom. Yeah, just the venom
I have to say, all the Witches are incredibly interesting, and both them and the Archbishops are very creative in the way they relate to the sins they represent, but out of them all, Daphne and Echidna in particular really stand out to me.
Echidna is for several reason, including how nice and suspicious she is at the same time and the way she looks so trustworthy and untrustworthy simultaneously, her thirst for knowledge resonating with me as someone who loves learning and understanding things too, her design being so good, etc. There's plenty to like with Echidna.
Daphne though... She stands out for a very different reason. Out of all the Witches, she's the one who I find truly TERRIFYING. She's by far the one that disturbs and freaks me out the most, and I absolutely love the way that's done. And it's not only because she's intimidating, of her "kill or be killed" philosophy, or any other traditionally scary thing about her, it's also because of how alien she feels. I just don't understand her, and that's what scares me the most.
Why is she restrained like that, yet able to move her coffin around freely? If it's because she can't control her hunger, than why is her mouth of all things completely free and uncovered? How does her mind work, and what kinda of emotions does she feel?
I usually pride myself in reading people well, and my instincts about people almost always prove to be correct, so I trust my gut a lot when it comes to judging character, which is why Daphne makes me so wary. I don't really get her all that well, and what I do understand about her gives me very bad vibes.
Honestly, in some senses she reminds me just a little bit of the way character are written in Made in Abyss, and the complex character writing is THE reason that series is one of my all time favorites, so this says a lot.
All that said though, I do feel the need to mention that while Daphne really gets to me on an intellectual level, I do have to give Typhon credit, because she's probably the actual most terrifying one. She just doesn't hit as deep to me personally. There's something specially twisted about an absolute judge with extreme power that imposes their judgment through the simplistic morality of a child. People say children are cruel for a reason, and she's the zenith of that idea, which is a pretty awesome concept for a character.
I wonder why the witch of ENVY who LOVES Subaru would plan to go towards the mansion where the people Subaru cares for are right now...
9:47 yes that right. Regulus would be what you consider "the strongest" of them.
6:40 if subaru successfully passes a event that killed him once before without dying for a certain amount of time it sets a new checkpoint (constantly) essentially (so that tthe next death can just use the same checkpoint i think of it as a timer) if he clears the event no matter who else died/recieved harm it sticks becuase subaru is ok to use teh same analogy u did an auto-save is made before starting the next main quest if he dies its forcibly reloads until he finishes the main quest fully and the final results override the auto save no matter how much he likes them
10:00
Yes, you are correct, Petelgeuse is the weakest Sin Archbishop, the one who eats people's names and memories (Lye Batenkaitos) is considerably stronger than Petelgeuse, since his way of fighting is very unique to him, and the person in white (Regulus Corneas) is basically infinity in terms of power
i think in a 1v1 between lye and regulus, lye would win without a doubt tho. you are right in what you say about regulus' power but thats just his potential. unfortunately he does not live up to his potential. lye's survivability isnt a question so his endurance in the fight is promised. i doubt it would take that long for lye to figure out regulus' authority. thats really what any fight against regulus comes down to, its up to whoever is actually able to figure out his authority before being killed by him
@@xyouthe No offense but I don't think you've read the novel if that's what you think. SPOILERS
No one in Re:Zero can figure out Regulus's ability because it's related to the stars. Subaru likes astronomy so that's the only reason he was able to deduce his weakness. All Regulus has to do is breathe and Lye will die. And there's no way for Lye to land a hit on Regulus that will damage him. He's basically Gojo with Infinity but SEVERELY more OP.
The only ones who can defeat Regulus is Ram (With her horn), Reinhard with his Dragon Sword, Reid, Satella and likely Volcanica.
@@TheRealMRCZ ARC 5 SPOILERS AND BEYOND
lye doesnt need to land any hits on regulus, he should already know regulus cant be touched. we also don't know how much of a secret his wives are, but given how much he travels with them id doubt the witch's cult wouldnt know about them. you really think that lye wouldn't at one point aim for regulus' wives to see what happens? thats his only weakness anyway, and lye being as smart and dirty as he is would definitely switch targets when he feels overwhelmed. i mean hell, even in his fight with ram he would turn to go attack rem when it suited him. subaru's knowledge of stars only aided him in figuring out regulus' authority, lye could figure it out too especially since he knows more than most of the world about regulus. also i disagree on the other ones you listed as being able to kill regulus. i believe only reid can since he can also figure out regulus by seeing his authority's connection to his wives
@@xyouthe ,
You honestly believe Regulus will just sit there and let his wives be killed by Lye? First of all, Regulus keeps his harem KILOMETERS away from where he is, just to prevent them from dying, they are literally scattered across the world. Unless Lye is omniscient and knows where all of them are, he's not doing anything to them.
Regulus will just blitz Lye and kill him, Regulus's authority can let him move so fast that it could shock Reinhard, and unless you want to say that Reinhard is slower than Lye, then re-read Arc 5
Volcanica is omnipotent as stated by Echidna in the Greed IF story, and Horned Ram has been stated to being able to defeat Regulus and Sekhmet, and Reinhard with the Dragon Sword can box Satella and possibly cut through the concept of time to hit Regulus. It was heavily implied Reinhard's Dragon Sword can cut through Regulus even with his authority.
@@TheRealMRCZ i have a hard time believing regulus could land a single hit on lye given that he cant land one easily on Subaru. idk what version of regulus you know but i know a lazy man who thinks hes perfectly and barely tries to use his powers even when hes mad. at his worst regulus started using his power somewhat smart, like when he started raining water dragon blood on subaru and emilia. otherwise i have a hard time believing he could land a finger on the leaper alone. whether or not horned ram or volcanica could slice thru his barrier is up for debate, neither of them are known to be able to slice invisible forces like that so we don't know. reid is a for sure, he not only can see thru regulus' authority but he could probably cut thru him too. reinhard's sword might be able to but like, it wont unsheathe for regulus so i dont see the point in arguing that if the sword wont find regulus worthy of being cut by it. my point is, regulus is careless. you can say he COULD put his wives kilometers away, but in arc 5 he chose to have them in the city, not hidden away whatsoever. if subaru and reinhard can find his sloppily hidden wives that easily, lye could do it faster. regulus is strong, but hes a sloppy idiot with his authority, thats why i think even lye could outsmart and beat him. same thing with you saying regulus could blitz lye. he COULD, but would he? and how effectively will he do it? there is a lot of coulds you can come up with for regulus but in practice he wont live up to his potential
Luke:can’t remember which sin Betelgeuse is the archbishop of
The first thing I think of when remembering Betelgeuse: SLOTH! SLOTH! SLOTH! THIS IS SLOTH!
Minerva - the witch that heals people by beating the crap out of them.
And the sad thing is... Minerva threatening to heal everyone might be the most terrifying threat there is.
21:20 to add to this so you understand better she made EVERY witch beast not just the 3 great ones (some of them by accident) so yes she did make more normal ones but they still take more than a full village to take out a decent amount of them at once (also they all taste awfful for eating according to some sidestories) also at 21:30 you are correct most of the witches have decent to good intentions but when fufilling them commit the worst attroicities ever (lust and echidna are purely selfish intentions but they help people sometimes while doing so) and the witch of envy picked the absolute worst way to go about hers compared to teh others
In a description of the author's Daphne character. She said that the coffin in which she sleeps is actually a Ma-beast created by her to be able to move without having to walk. as well as the restrictions and chains that she has on her, which were placed by herself to move as little as possible and that her hunger does not grow.
It's a shame that they will change this meeting from what it was on the web novel. In it when they discuss the Ma-beasts, Daphne tells Subaru that she would understand if she suffered a little from the hunger that both she and the Ma-beasts suffer from. You make Subaru look at one of her eyes for a second and then Subaru unaware of her starts eating her own fingers without caring about the pain until Minerva appears again to heal him.
You have already been indirectly introduced to the Black Serpent. Remember in The Frozen Bonds, Emilia had tried to stop it's venom from attacking the village.
Subaru and you are 100% on the same wavelength when it comes to Echidna and the Witches 😆
While I was sad you didn't have both headphones on for Satella's entrance, I'm happy you watched the end credits.
Just clarifying one thing: There is no Sin Archbishop of Envy since the Witch of that sin is still alive. Another thing is the Author stated that Sin Archbishop of Greed (Guy in White) is the only Archbishop to be stronger than the original witch of that sin, i.e, Echidna
A bit of trivia: in the web novel, when Subaru met Daphne (the witch of Gluttony), she showed him of one of her eyes, which affected him with her authority, making Subaru eat his own arm.
Here's a translated excerpt:
Famished, with his thoughts in such disarray to almost dispel his consciousness, Subaru loses cognizance of reality. He pants and writhes in agony as he rolls on the ground to and fro. The action merely fosters the hunger. Before long, he settles atop the plain, trembling like an insect. Starvation to drive a man crazed. He hungers. Life-threatening. An open hole, in his stomach. Dying and apt to die, no food right now and he will die. He will die. He was dying.
Daphne: “You still have-n't, no-ticed yet?”
Daphne looks down at a suffering, anguishing Subaru-although in reality her eyes reflect him not, between his voice and her sense of smell she appears to have grasped his condition. Subaru didn't understand what she meant. Who gave a crap about noticing, he was starving enough to near drive him insane. Although he comprehended that this was a result of her doings, the starvation beats out resentment. He needed to satisfy this hunger. That he was barely holding onto consciousness was thanks to this thing he'd been chewing for a-
Subaru: “-”
What, was Subaru, eating, right now?
Daphne: “You noticed? That's what GLUTTONY is.”
Hearing her words, Subaru notices his right hand-missing the little and ring finger.
Where'd the missing fingers go? No point searching. Right now, in his mouth, his teeth just crushed his pinky to bits.
Blood flows from his severed nubs, painting the green field with crimson.
Watching the droplets fall, Subaru's mind goes blank.
With the passing of seconds, something comes to fill the blankness. A feeling. Of,
-Ahh, what a waste of blood.
The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog 🤣😆 also Echidna finest tea.
It is widely agreed upon that the witch of envy is there trying to destroy everything Subaru cares about because he shared their special bond of return by death with Echidna.
White whale makes them forget about hunger,Great rabbit feeds/satisfy's their hunger and Black serpent eliminates hunger by eliminating those with hunger.(Yes,The black serpent is the one meant to kill,so its very deadly)
33:19 I literally got a Subaru car ad right here lmao
Aishiteru, Aishiteru , Aishiteru.
I would also go mad and form a cult if the witch gave me ASMR like these.
I got you a cool exercise, Luke. Count every time you have said you like Echidna, and then if by the end of the 2nd season you change your mind, you will have to do 5 push-ups for every time you thought that you like her. If you don't change your mind about her then you have to take a sip of water for every time you thought that you like her.
OMG THAT SATELLA ASMR CREEPED ME OUT THAT I EVEN REMEMBER THROWING OFF MY HEADPHONES OMG
18:20 you get names and basic powers for the 7 witches of sins in arc 4 (season 2 of the anime start to end is all of arc 4 of light novels) so dont worry about it
After watching the witch meeting a second time, I just realized something. I think Typhon wasn't messing with Subaru, but rather showing him her powers. Maybe during the interaction she gave Subaru the Authority of Sloth.
The Witch of Envy appeared at the sanctuary because Subaru snitched too much back at the tea party. Not always does punishment from WoE comes in the form of harming Subaru directly. As seen when she killed Emilia instead, this time she escalated her antics a tad.
Snitched too much 😂
The only reason Subaru didn’t bleed was because his soul is what crumbled. Can you imagine running into Typhon, getting your armed ripped off, only to be called a good person and bleed to death.
35:11 because Subaru told Echidna about return of death.
The witch of wrath being an overly caffeinated Sailor Moon was one of the high points of the show for me, personally
Why do I feel deja vu when you said "Amelia is missing and witch of envy is there" xD
I didn't read as far but the” person in the white suit” was stated to be able to more or less easily destroy the most heavily guarded fortress in vollacia (south of lugunica) and on top of that beat somebody of equal strength as Wilhelm the sword devil completely alone (and there were like over a thousand men stationed or something like that)
btw it's no spoiler since it was mentioned in the ln but cut in the anime adaptation
It's not explained in the anime but Everytime the witch of wrath heals someone a calamity takes place somewhere else.
Subaru told Echidna about his return by death but it happened inside the castle of dreams.
So Satella despite being locked away still showed her presence inside the sanctuary, forcing Subaru out of the castle of dreams and taking out her anger on those he cares about
Last sin is Sloth, Betelgeuse - archebichop of sin was Sloth
33:53 Didn't u find that book look familiar??
35:23 (this isnt actually something they reveal its just me making up logic on how the witch can escape) shes sealed far away where mana flows poorly however that seal was made by 2 people (who werent long living races) and a dragon according to legend its been 400 years so unless they got some nice magic they are probably died (the sage is labeled as missing for plot reasons sword saint/master swordsman is dead) so only 1/3 is really maintaining the seal if u think about it since shes world ending strong and is still using her magic on subaru and also emilia in that one loop even from inside the seal (aka shes been interacting with the outside world at least minimally the entire time in reality)
I will say the echo in the room is noticeable, but not bad. I could easily get used to it, but if it bugs you then you could get like sound suppressing decor 👌
oh yea this episode : o
the VA voice " i love you i love you i love you "
Luke, Emilia fought the Black serpent in the movie remember? It was that black goo on the forest
He just said Typhoon was the witch of Pride then he forgot it the moment Daphne shows up 😅
Honestly, in terms of powers/abilities, Re:zero is the second anime with the most menacingly villains I've ever seen, almost all of them feels like they are a force of nature, an absolute threat that can't be stopped
The only anime I've seen that surpasses this position is JoJo's Bizarre adventure
Luke, there's literally tribes of whale hunters over here and snakes makes for health delicacy.
Garfiel was fine with Suburu before he smelled like the witch. When he see's Suburu here, he's literally being hugged by the witch, so it makes sense that he doesn't consider the smell/miasma coming from Suburu himself.
My theory is that Satella (witch of envy) took over Emilia's body, like Betelgeouse tried to do with subaru. That's why Emilia is a "vessel" and the witch cult is trying to "put the witch in her", or so they said in season 1.
About the black serpent's usability. Although it is never explained by Daphne herself, we can assume that it has to do with the requirements for Gluttony
The white whale's is about size and the Gluttony that comes with wanting to eat large amounts of something
The great rabbit is about quantity and the Gluttony that comes from starvation (you wouldn't have to worry about starving with something that is infinite)
The black serpent has got to be about the taste. I assume the poisonous sludge the serpent produces is drinkable and tastes so incredible like the best liquor you've ever had, but also kills you because it's still poison. a once in a lifetime deal if you ask me
i mean yeah the cam mic just sounded better and more well "accurate" to what we know your voice should sound like, also it was just better sounding both on my speakers and earphones
You can watch the previous episode where Echidna explain about everyone
Audio seems fine for me, but I use speakers to watch, so the echo isn't that bad for me watching/listening to. I bet they weren't at all what you were expecting of these Witches, but they all are very different in character & personality and love them all in how unique each one acts. Really enjoying your reactions to this series & glad you are so hooked on it to! 😄 Totally biased, but Wrath/Minerva is my favorite among them all! 💖
It should just keep improving hopefully 🤔 but glad it's fine
37:00 LUKE, Please, go back to the scene where she talks in his ear, and listen with both ears!! I got goosebumps
This hasn't been proven but is a theory I have had for a while based on two facts:
1. Witches are able to erase your memories as compensation or something.
2. Subaru is able to return to a checkpoint upon his death but we never see him gain this ability to Return by Death.
I believe that Subaru does something in the timeline to help the Witch of Envy who gives him the power of Return by Death as a reward. Something happens to erase his memory of this and he then dies which activates Return by Death causing him to begin the entire series from the start again.
Essentially I believe that Subaru had already reset once when the series first started but has no memory of this.
The second season really was the highlight of the anime for me, it made me really consider this anime my top 1! Thanks to that I read the novels and my friend, this only gets better, season 3 is going to be even more insane
Tables made for a parasol have the hole in the middle to allow for a "holder" for the parasol... but fancy ones would not have it because they are a bit bigger and allow you to place both the table and parasol at the most appropriate place to create the shade better suited to your preferences... also this is not an industrialized world...
it's been years since i heard this so this might just be misinformation, but i heard that daphne's reason for creating the black serpent was to end hunger by ending life; if i'm not spewing misinformation on the internet, it was probably cut from this episode because there was no reason for it in the flow of the conversation considering adaptation limitations
edit: 31:35 i love garf's unpredictability
16:37 MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!
You’ve finally met her. The true best girl. We have lied all along. Some have said Rem, others Emilia, and some Otto, but all have been lying or wrong. Minerva, witch of wrath, is the one true best girl.
Also day 4 of requesting Luke react to the new Phase Connect generation’s original songs.
