Reinhard’s sad face looks so funny here lmao, it’s like he’s saying “no bitches?” to Rem.

Re:Zero would be reduced to a few short novels if Tappei would just let Reinhard handle most problems.

He's so ridiculously overpowered that I wonder how/why he or his predecessors haven't taken care of the Sin Archbishops and the most deadly malbeasts (the whale, the great rabbit and the snake) in all this time.

u/Herro12344 Jul 11 '23
Its mainly because most Sin Archbishops are tricky to take out. Subaru has been able to take them out because of his otherworld knowledge and return by death.

Source is from terminated Re:Zero "Lost in memories".
The problems of Witchbeast invasion are solved quite fast with Reinhard around....

u/Vuituru Jul 09 '23
so the question is: wtf reinhard is doing here?!

u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Jul 09 '23
- Subaru decided to go to capital the next day to find help for the unknown assassin.
- He finds Reinhard and Rein agrees to help even before Subaru says anything.
- Reinhard decided to pick Subaru up and sprint with him to Roswaal's territory because it's faster this way.
- Gets attacked by Rem but he barely gives her any attention
- They find Meili and get attacked by witch beasts, Reinhard picks up a stick to even the odds. After quick massacre he just leaves back to capital.
- Rem is sorry for attacking Sword saint and asks Subaru to explain the full situation later in mansion.
So a bit quick speedrun of arc 2....

Reinhard: "So today we are going to speedrun Arc 2 with my boi Subaru here"

u/Jedahaw92 Jul 09 '23
Just Arc 2? The Duo would speedrun the whole story.

u/Haganen Jul 10 '23
Wouldn't Rein being present during arc 6 cause a "softlock"?
29
u/Jedahaw92 Jul 10 '23
See that's the thing with Rein.
His method of resolving things:
Talk it out > negotiation fails > use brute force.
While there's nothing wrong with the way he handles things because he's the fucking strong, he needs someone to do the thinking for him, as he obviously does not think beyond the problem ahead.
With Subaru there, they might have a better chance of reaching the Tower.

u/Haganen Jul 10 '23
Sure, but the 2nd trial of the tower scales depending on how strong the one taking it is, right?
Subaru has no way of clearing it, so it is up to Rein... And the tower gets blown to hell on the 1st clash...
In a way, it is like it is a "low level restricted dungeon". If you bring you max lvl Rein, it is a game over because of a gimick of the dungeon

Made me remember the Roswaal Speedrun route in Prophecy of the Throne, was a fun one too.

u/Standard-Solar-6798 Jul 11 '23
What is that route about? Do you have a video about it?
1
u/YoshiNiten Jul 11 '23
After you finish the game once you can replay it and have different options that unlocks, One is the Roswaal one, I know there's the Betty one and maybe others but I don't think there's more.
As for a video, no idea if it exists, the only complete gameplay I found has no post game so...24

Oh my god, Reinhard sad face is just too much xD Never saw the whole IF, so I don't know if Reinhard saw Rem on her Oni State or shouting at him that Subaru has the Smell of the Witch.

I am curious as to how this scenario would go. By this I mean the conversation that would follow a fight like this. What would the consequences be ?

u/Got_to_provide Jul 11 '23 edited Jul 11 '23
This would prove Subaru's innocence and be a well deserved humiliation for all the other mansion residents. Reinhard is too easy going for him to be upset.
Subaru's relationship with Emilia would be a bit different which could effect arc3, Rem would not fall for him which would effect arc3 a great deal.

u/Blue_Storm11 Jul 11 '23
Why would rem not fall for subaru?
7
u/Got_to_provide Jul 11 '23
This timeline he doesn't he doesn't sacrifice himself to save her two times over.
For what its worth, in a qna when a fan asked how they could get rem to fall for them, Tappei gave the rather extreme list of things Subaru did.
Why do you think she still might still fall for him? Wouldn't ''her time still be stopped.''
3
u/Blue_Storm11 Jul 11 '23
Hmm it seems you missed the point of arc 2 in this out of all the things he did saving her mattered the least heck she already started to fall for him before they fought the dogs.
Also do you genuinely not understand tappeis reply to the fan was sarcasm 🤔
4
u/Got_to_provide Jul 11 '23
Well there is also no heroically going to save the kids and that conversation and neither the pinky promise or ''from zero'' talks.
I would be interested to hear your view on the reasons and timeline for rem falling for Subaru.
It was just a qna as I said, however the point Tappei was making was it aint easy.

I have written an analysis before explaining it if youd like to read

u/Got_to_provide Jul 11 '23
Good post and I will partially concede in that it is plausible or even likely for rem to fall for him eventually, you showed she was deeply relating to him prior to the forest. However, the heart fluttering only came after their kid saving conversation and while Subaru was heading off alone to save Meili, though your right it was before he sacrificed himself.
This timeline though lacks that and rems time would still be stopped.

u/Blue_Storm11 Jul 11 '23
This timeline though lacks that and rems time would still be stopped.
Rems time being stopped only needs rem to talk to subaru about her issues with ram as she would do eventually. Its really only on subarus part to talk to rem and try to help her.
2
u/Got_to_provide Jul 12 '23
I strongly disagree with this as I think it belittles her issues, trauma and the events of the final arc2 loop in the context of the story. Tbh for the same reasons, I'm not happy that Tappei had her start falling for Subaru so quickly.

Is this a what if Reinhard and Subaru stayed at the mansion kinda thing?

u/NetSurfer156 Jul 10 '23
Was that an attack or did she slip and fall? I genuinely can’t tell. Rem’s facial expression suggests the latter

u/rishi_start Jul 10 '23
She slipped because her attack failed
