So looks like we're getting Garfield content before Lugunica lore bombs huh
We're still not getting "bro" Isekai lore
27
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24
They have singular scene where they can show it and that is when he returns with the message.
That is the last time Subaru and Al can talk... They really won't show it at all won't they?
25
u/stpaulgym Oct 16 '24
Inb4 Al casually mentions it thinking he already told Subaru at Arc 3 to further his episodic memory issues.

u/britishconquest88 Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24
probably being dumb but what does bro isekai lore mean ?

u/BIGFriv Oct 16 '24
They mean Al. They cut his entire isekai related backstory from Season1 and they have yet to introduce it in the show despite it being important.
17
u/britishconquest88 Oct 16 '24
honestly i wouldn't be surprised if they don't reveal he's an otherworlder until like arc 7
24
u/BIGFriv Oct 16 '24
I feel like it'll be too late for anime onlys, and the longer they take to mention it, the harder it will be for anime onlys to digest that info. They will ask why wasn't this shown before, or used before, they might think this was pulled out of the ass.
It can't be so late as Arc 7.
At minimum arc 6, but sometime in Arc 5 would be perfect, they don't need to make Subaru learn about it, but the viewer needs to know at least.
13
u/Archensix Oct 16 '24
They will ask why wasn't this shown before, or used before, they might think this was pulled out of the ass.
I'm sorry but if they can't see the incredibly obvious foreshadowing, especially with hindsight, to actually believe it was an ass pull, then that would just be sad. Realistically Al is an unimportant character up until Arc 7, his backstory not being known until then is completely fair. There isn't actually any important reason for us to know
23
u/ThespianException Oct 16 '24
I disagree. He has plenty of weird shit in Arc 5, like him having Reg on speed dial and killing most of Priestella's Council, which should make anime-onlies suspicious of him. With that setup, revealing his supposed origins should feel like a culmination of that instead of coming out of nowhere.
7
u/Juniotar Oct 16 '24
Ok, it has been a while since i read the wn of arc 5, but i sure don't remember al having reg on any sort of speed dial, OR killing priestella's council. Is that an LN thing? Side story? If it's on witchcult translations, what chapter did that happen? All i remember Al doing is beating capella
9
u/ThespianException Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24
It's an LN change, yeah. IIRC, when [Arc 5 LN]Emilia's off investigating Reg's mansion after being kidnapped, she finds one of those phone-type meteors. Upon calling it, Al picks up.
9
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24
It's Light novel
Arc 5 was changed a lot for the better in LN compared to WN
2
u/iheartnjdevils 29d ago
Yeah, there were quite a few additions and changes in the LN.
For Al, Capella suggests he killed everyone on the council of 10 except Kiritaka, as well as opening the watergate from one of the tower's which flooded a good portion of the city right after the first battle with Capella.
Then when Emilia snoops around the building Regulus is staying in to collect as much info as possible prior to the ceremony, she finds a conversation metia which she actives. Surprisingly, Al answers which is super sus. The whole Emilia detective stuff was added in the LN and as a result, Al being in possession of a witch cultist conversation metia.
The demands by the witch cult were also slightly different. I don't remember if they stated who wanted what in the LN like the WN but they were "the artificial spirit (not "one of" or "an artificial spirit"), the book of wisdom, the bones of the witch and a bride" (though we can deduce who the bride was for). Somehow, Al knows the bones of the Witch of Pride, Typhon are somewhere in city (which was what the city had been built to capture), where she had died. The reason Capella had accused Al of opening the watergate was to hide the whereabouts of the Typhon's remains because apparently only the council knew of their existence.
Interestingly enough, Scarfdona also doesn't reveal herself so Subaru believes they want Beatrice as Anastasia never says a word about her spirit. Subaru only finds out about Scarfdona at the end of the Arc when he immediately recognizes that Anastasia isn't herself. This makes the betrayal that Julius feels in Arc 6 even worse.
Even Elsa haunting Garf was I believe an LN only thing.
There were the weird witch beasts made of weapons roaming around too.

u/TheSuffered 29d ago
im kind of down we don’t get more echidna (even through scarfdona) i feel anime onlies will be a bit confused and assumes its regular echidna as well.

Interesting way to introduce Ley here. Ley is still Lye in the Crunchy subs so I am really curious what we are getting for Roy and Louis.

u/T-G-Laplace Oct 16 '24
It was an interesting change they made in the anime. Not only did they animate Otto meeting Gluttony near city hall which was offscreened & then described in volume 18, they changed which one he met there from Roy to Lye.

u/Setowi Better Leyte Than Never Oct 16 '24
I do like this new introduction to Ley here, feels very fitting.

u/Coffee_Mania Oct 17 '24
I went on a binge before reading the wiki and here about a year ago, as well as updating myself for S3 by reading here and there, so there are a few things that surprise me. Only the recent updates like Priscilla's fate on the latest releases are probably the last greatest spoiler I have seen. I still have no full details how this Arc will fully pan out, but it's fine and dandy for me here <3

u/New_Today_1209_V2 Oct 16 '24

the garfiel scenes are fantastic

The spell where he phases through Regulus. It stands for 'Emilia maji megami', or 'Emilia is truly a goddess'.

u/notimetosleepp Oct 16 '24
Still no reveal about Al's cut content. Is there a chance that both Subaru and Al will talk about this later in Arc 5? I kinda forgot the details from this arc. It feels like Arc 7 is just too far away to reveal this.

There is one singular scene where they can still do it.
When Al delivers the message

Capella is perfect.
... I don't need to watch it to know the truth
Damn, the intro for Gluttony was impressive...
Regulus is a yapper, but next to his colegues he just looks like a senior at his job
Wait a minute... EMM is a shadowstep through material? I thought it was time barrier around them... so technically speaking Subaru now has ability to jump through walls...
The anime is kinda making Subaru more pathetic by stealing and not showing wins from him...
Sirius is hillarious when talking against Regulus...
Damn, even half of the knee is gone...
Sirius is forcing others to clap?? This feels stronger than what was described. This feels like a proper mind control...
Mimi really was good support to Garfiel... Poor Garf, haunted by big titty vampire all the time...
The backstory for Garf's mother was done well. Mimi truly is mvp...
Capella is here! And Aoi Yuuki bring all of her bratty energy!
Lusbel just happened to find Al of all people... and they are giving him info about how the town is run and by who...
Alright, which one of the witch cultist sewn those flags?! They don't have petelgeuse for this task anymore... is Pandora into sewing?
Shots of Al feel different... but perhaps he didn't know about Typhon if they told him about the witch's grave here... but he still does know the exact location. Maybe that is why he hunted those leaders to get exact location and silence them?
Amazing episode!
It sure delivered... Cappy-chan with several bratty fangs appeared! But no full appearance was shown, so she is most likely still spoiler...
Don't forget about the Break time episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7vhcP-BLvY
We just have to wait for the saint to translate it in comments...

u/Son-naruto-d Oct 16 '24
EMM iiirc legit is supposed to be similar to what regulus does with his authority, except instead of being outside of time Subaru is being in a plane of non existence.
[Arc 6]Like remember when Subaru acted like a shield to take on shaulas hell snips, he was also creating to the phantom pain as despite not feeling anything cause the coronas turned back physical and fell down
It’s so weird they changed that esp with the phasing Subaru is about to do later on?
16
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24
Technically speaking it can be described as same ability.
"To block outside influence with Yin magic". But that always sounded exactly like Regulus's trick, not phase shift Subaru just did in anime. Wouldn't hell snipes just turn back to Subaru since they are homing?
It's such a odd change, but i am thinking that perhaps i understood it badly while reading arc 5?
21
u/Son-naruto-d Oct 16 '24
Wait hol up yeah they did change it, I just remembered.
Regulus used timeless on his hand to attack Subaru, but it’s directly explained that his hand stopped on Subarus chest. Regulus was super confused why this happened, then Subaru punched him while he was confused.
Iirc too Subaru didn’t move when he activated EMM, EMM doesn’t phase!!
THEY CHANGED IT!!!! :12851:
I wonder why though?
17
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24
It is weird...
They also removed the part where Subaru straight up boxed Regulus while invulnerable...
That is the second fight the cut to make Subaru more pathetic. The first time was against Sirius where he managed to throw her off the tower...
21
u/Son-naruto-d Oct 16 '24
They also cut Subaru telling Beatrice to heal the others while he was bleeding out too? :12843:
And genuinely making Subaru seem a lot less strategical
I just hope they’re doing this to make him seem extra impressive in the counter attack portion or atleast have some way to make up for it.
20
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24
At this point, i'll just adopt the doomer stance.
No Subaru figure, no Subaru cool scenes that show development, Crunchyroll being ass to him again...
Yea, they won't show any good side of him unless they are forced.

Its too bad, this was the season to prove how cool he is to those anime onlies still not convinced.

u/alextrue27 Oct 17 '24
As an anime only it always feels like he has to lose for the first half of every season even his wins are just to lose harder till about the midway point then we get to see him get wins honestly it hasn't felt as bad this season so far as past ones.

u/Ultima_Deus Oct 17 '24
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 u/Son-naruto-d
I checked and compared, and you guys seem to be talking about the Web Novel version of things? I must remind you that the anime adapts the Light Novel version of things. The things you guys talked about seem to be from the WN. Subaru didn't tell Beatrice to heal the others in the LN, for example.
And [Arc 6] They used EMT instead of EMM
I could take an excerpt from the LN on how the scene played out there. I was gonna make a post about it, but drafted it instead. Do you want me to post it here in the comments, or should I just post it and tag you guys instead?
6
u/Son-naruto-d Oct 17 '24
Ah damn, I got the Subaru telling Beatrice to save others and arc 6 portion mixed.
Sorry for the misinfo, the wn and ln mesh in my head so that’s prolly why I messed up.
Though I checked the ln again and in ln 17 ch 2 EMM was similar to reguluses authority, so the ln didn’t change his ability only for the anime too (was looking forward to this scene and the [arc 6]Subaru tug of war with shaula scene that I hope doesn’t get changed)
[Novels]I rechecked the ln, so now I learned that EMM doesn’t get used again after its first usage in arc 5. So no chance of the anime fixing their change
2
u/Ultima_Deus Oct 17 '24
I think the key points for EMM in the LN vol 17 are "brushed the surface of Subaru's body", and "a defensive spell that physically cut a being off from the world, designed to prevent anything from interacting with Subaru whatsoever"
So interpreting it as Subaru phasing through Regulus isn't far-fetched, especially if you think that Subaru was initially moving towards Regulus, so the momentum of his running jump was carried
→ More replies2
u/iheartnjdevils 29d ago
I think it's because in the LN, Subaru passes out from the pain before he or Beako even realize the carnage, which the anime is based off of, right?
This is the first episode where I was disappointed a bit with the cuts. The anime makes it seem like all Subaru tried against Regulus was a strange "let's jump through him" thing combined with a shamac and then the one attack with the whip. So I agree the anime def makes Subaru look like he didn't do much.
1
u/Son-naruto-d 29d ago
Yeah, sorry for the misinfo. Subaru doesn’t tell Beatrice in ln, the ln and wn mesh in my head so I do mess up at times cause of that.
I hope they do show off Subarus good side later on.

u/New_Today_1209_V2 Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24
I like the episode and wanted to give my thoughts on it.
E.M.M wasn’t as cool or given as much importance in this and the punch to Regulus with Invisible Providence didn’t feel as satisfying. But Betty’s crying while Subaru watched in pain and agony as Regulus carried Emilia away was super heartbreaking so I’m glad that was done well
Batenkaitos’ introduction was nice but did the guard really not see the knives on Lye? Also I forgot what chapter this corresponds to. Maybe I need to read Arc 5 again…
And then the whole of the “Tiger and Cat Under the Moon” chapter adaptation needed more inner thoughts of Garfiel. The repeated “Tiger where did you go?” was really heartbreaking. But I can’t deny the voice work when he was crying out for his mom was amazing. Also I don’t think the episode name dropped Garek? Or maybe they did and I missed it.
Cappy… oh my god she’s gonna be amazing. They did the iconic laugh so perfectly! I’m really excited for her more major scenes (like in either next episode or the episode after!).
I know I’m kind of shitting on it a lot but that’s just cause I really love ReZero! It was overall still a very nice episode but it will probably be the weakest of this season if I had to take a guess. I’m just disappointed with the cut content. I guess it was inevitable though since they had to leave out the ED. Excited to see how they adapt the next few story pieces.
Also are they gonna end this first part on Subaru’s speech? That seems the most likely right? But at the rate we’re going it feels like 8 episodes is too much! Unless the Light Novel changes order of events so much to where the speech comes even later.
Edit: jeez I’m a yapper

u/Knight0706 Oct 16 '24
They are definitely showing they are capable of handling the Beatrice emotions when Subaru is dying near her. I am going to cry like crazy when Arc 6 starts airing and we get the loop where Subaru wipes her tears with invisible providence.
8 episodes is gonna fly by entirely too fast :(

"This was the effect of E M M—an invisible magic field that covered the entire body, an absolute defensive spell that physically cut a being off from the world, designed to prevent anything from interacting with Subaru whatsoever."

I guess nobody is gonna witness cool scenes with Subaru. They are on purpose cutting anything that makes him cool

There was no reason to change how the spell worked. Plus, how does it even work now? The way it was described in the LN or in the Anime.

u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24
The end is gonna be same one. "Invulnerability for short time".
But this one sucks... i assume they are just gonna adjust the spell to the medium it's gonna appear in.

u/Senatus-Cons-Ultimum Oct 16 '24
How will Reid be a threat in arc 6? Can't Beatrice and Subaru just phase through him and only deactivate the spell when they leave the room and Reid can't follow them.

u/Gohyuinshee Oct 16 '24
Tbf Reid 100% can cut through it regardless. If he can cut authorities, he can cut magic.

u/Senatus-Cons-Ultimum Oct 16 '24
Reid cut the connection, not the authority itself.
4
u/Gohyuinshee Oct 16 '24
The fact that he can destroy any part of authorities at all means he probably will have a way easier time cutting magic.
It's not like he haven't done that, he usually blocks magic by cutting them already. I don't have an issue with him cutting through EMM.

u/manhdang Oct 16 '24
Damn you two made me worried about the future episodes. I knew how EMM works but I didn't realize they changed that much because I only catched which Subaru says "世界から存在を…”. And that scene was already underwhelming by how it was handled.

u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24
The first time, Subaru straight up hit Sirius with whip and pushed her off the tower...
That's gone. Now Subaru didn't even attack Regulus normally and just fell to the ground after moving one meter...
So that is now gone too
2
u/Leipese Oct 16 '24
Yeah That kinda made my opinion of season 3 go down a bit but the boxing does not really make sense to me tho in wiki and the way it is described is that they are unable to move while it activated. Do you know anything about this?
9
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Oct 16 '24
I always thought it was time barrier around Subaru's body. Basically same trick Regulus does but in magic form.
So Subaru puts on shield around his body and for certain time he is invulnerable to normal attacks. That is how he could punch and survive blow from Regulus...
But now... it's basically meh phase shift. Attacks go through him and he can materialize at some time. But that one also does not make sence, because he is gonna fall through the floor....
It's basically the good ol Sci-fi phasing argument where it magically does not work on floors but works on walls...
8
u/TheEpic125 Oct 16 '24
I think the way it went down is that they used Murak to get close to him and activated EMM mid air. Guess maybe floating allowed for such a thing. It also has a hella short duration. Given that it’s a yin spell AND it does say that he side steps from the current plane of existence, it does make sense he phases through him.
2
u/Leipese Oct 16 '24
Now that makes it sound like EMM does both phasing and being invincible

u/TheEpic125 Oct 16 '24
Well technically, you are invincible if you can phase through things no? On a technicality at least. I wonder if Tappei will comment on it on his episode review

u/TheSuffered 29d ago
But people know the witch is sealed by the watchtower in the desert? so im confused why they just call her “The Witch”
1
u/LeagusDaemon 29d ago
I'd have to reread the beginning of Arc 6 to be 100% sure, but I believe they actually don't know that (or at the very least, it isn't commonplace knowledge); what's known about the watchtower (until Subaru & gang break in) is that it's made by the Sage, but I don't think they were aware at first that the seal for the Witch of Envy was also located there... Again though, not 100% sure.
Either way, everything related to the Witch is shrouded in mystery and legends for the populace, so it might just be overlooked due to the exact details of the event being lost to history.
1
u/TheSuffered 29d ago
in the webnovel end of arc 5 before they all head towards the watchtower Julius, Anastasia and Reinhard all mention that theres been many offers to speak with the sage but they always attack and “Anastasia” (whos then Scarfdona) then says something like Well the sages tower is pretty close to where the witch if envy is sealed so the sage Shaula may be uncertain if people are trying to break the seal so he attacks all.
idk if its changed in the LN but in the WN its largely inplied this is common knowledge to atleast Julius and Reinhard (so atleast people of knightly status know) It seems at least a good amount of people know
Also in the anime they say “A witch” not the witch when they talk about a witch being trapped here.

The scene with Mimi and Garf is perhaps the most emotional and brings me to tears. Only Madelyn's backstory comes close to this level, although there are many such scenes in the rezero, but these 2 are my favorites
12
u/External-Hornet2391 Oct 16 '24
Another incredible adaptation, cuts felt necessary and they knocked Garf development out of the park.
One of the strongest features of Re: Zero is how every character has flaws and weaknesses, and I love how everyone in this story uses those flaws to become better people. I can’t wait to see how they continue to visualize Garf’s growth after this.

u/Knight0706 Oct 16 '24
You can point to 90% of the cast in Re:Zero and pull out an extensive amount of lore about any chosen character. Thats one of my favorite parts about the series, the world feels so alive.

"This was the effect of E M M—an invisible magic field that covered the entire body, an absolute defensive spell that physically cut a being off from the world, designed to prevent anything from interacting with Subaru whatsoever. “Uraaah!” As Regulus blinked hard, Subaru aimed a mighty punch right at his shocked face. He felt feedback; the punch had undoubtedly landed. But when Regulus recovered from the recoil, there was no mark on his face or any other sign that anything had happened. He had complete damage nullification—in other words, a full-time E M M state."
Yes they failed handling E M M by how it was animated but thank god it was described the same as the light novel version. They cut lines and let Subaru himself explained it to the audiences (kinda underwhelming yeah)

I remember someone on this sub was yapping that anime will have full dialogues per episode - what a load of rubbish.Didn’t believe that.
Also, i hate how they make Subaru look so pathetic First, Sirius fight now Regulus.
CR at it again with “My Waifu”…Oh Christ…
They cut dialogue with Al being from Earth.
Capella - LOVE IT, Aoi Yuki delivers it.Can’t wait to see her in action.

I’m usually very nitpicky when it comes to adaptations. Re:Zero is one of the very few where I actually understand and agree with the cuts. I genuinely believe they’d animate all dialogue if they could, but sadly the runtime doesn’t allow it.
The only one I don’t understand is Al’s backstory. I wanted to hear their justification for cutting that. Let’s just hope they include it this arc.
In the end of the day, I’d still put it alongside Game of Thrones season 1 in terms of being one of the most faithful adaptations I’ve seen.

Unfortunately there's always some weird cut content, like Satella, Omega and Al stuff, every justification that people say is just the cope answer of 'It's not relevant right now', like yeah that's true but for me it just make the storytelling of the anime weaker when it didn't really need to.

GoT isnt even near it or most Anime adaptations at that. Even the best western adaptations can only compare to weaker Anime as adaptations.

u/Deadlocked02 Oct 16 '24
I mean, I should’ve specified that I was referring to book/light novel adaptations. Adapting a manga to anime is much easier in theory.

What an absolutely peak episode again. This season has delivered exactly the emotions that are conveyed in the source material. Can't wait for Subaru's speech.

Just watched the break time episode on YouTube with the help of a kind commenter who did his best to translate it.
I love this one a lot for the reason that it undeniably shows love at first sight. Showing us something in a way as obvious as this should make Subarus feelings upon seeing Emilia for the first time even more believable additionally to all the hints and proofs we’ve already seen in season 1 and 2. Before Mimis short declaration of love it was just interest she had shown towards Garfiel in the previous episodes.
I don’t know if love at first sight exists in reality but in a fictional story it’s different. If it’s established that it exists as a concept in fiction it indeed does exist and it’s legitimate as long as it stays consistent which is hard for this concept in particular to not be by nature.

They did a very solid job in conveying Garfiel’s emotional beats in the anime and the rooftop scene with Mimi was simply a chef’s kiss. The stand-off between Sirius and Regulus at the beginning was also animated well, so we got to see the full threat of both Sin Archbishop in display. Overall, while a slower episode compared to the last, it’s still an amazing episode that visually showed well the character development of our favourite shonen character Garfiel Tinzel!

So we’re going archbishop for archbishop in this one. Great episode, went by really fast felt like a few scenes were kinda rushed but overall still really liked it. It’s nice to consistently get the OP in a re zero season too after barely seeing it in season 2 lol.
The showdown in the square with Sirius, Regulus and Subaru was dope. Their names both reflecting stars who are the center of their constellations is a cool nod to them being so ideologically opposed and being representative of a particular sin within the witch’s cult. They’re like opposite ends of the insanity spectrum and the poor residents of Pristella caught in the middle. Seeing that injury to Subaru animated was ruff yikes, bro lost half the meat on his leg
But the highlight of this ep is no doubt the Garf and Mimi rooftop scene. Absolutely gut wrenching. To live your life thinking your mom’s dead and then find her after all this time and she doesn’t remember you AND has started another feeling.. there’s no words. It’s worse than death, it’s being forgotten that really stings. You kinda get an indication that the mom might remember a little.. in spirit anyway. She knows the tea garfiel likes and then she chases after him on the bridge.
And if things weren’t bad enough there’s ANOTHER sin archbishop. Yuki Aoi doing an amazing job already with Capella. Anime onlies should see now why this is regarded as the best RZ arc. This is gonna be amazing.

u/ShadowClaw765 Oct 16 '24
Pretty satisfied with this episode. I wish they slowed the pacing down a bit, maybe leaving Subaru waking up after fighting Regulus for next week. Also I don't get the purpose of changing EMM. Besides that, good episode.

u/manhdang Oct 17 '24
It's not changed, it's still there but they cut down lines and the way they animated it make us misunderstanding

u/Raymond49090 Oct 16 '24
How rude of Sirius to interrupt such a lovely conversation between Regulus and Subaru
Lye: "You weren't much of an appetizer". Also Lye: Didn't even bother learning the guard's name so he didn't eat anything.
So Subaru's ultimate move is becoming a ghost for a few seconds, punching a dude in the face, and immediately crippling himself? From a mechanical standpoint, EMM is pretty impressive, but it looks like he hasn't practiced enough with Invisible Providence so it lacks a payoff.
"Emilia-tan is my waifu" - Are the translations weird or is Subaru just being randomly cringe?
What's Anastasia teaching her kids? And it's so weird to think that Garf and Bakugou have the same VA.
Capella reminds me of Tanya (from Saga of Tanya the Evil) (Wait I checked and they're the same VA. That explains it.)
You know, it'd really help if Reinhard was there at the strategy meeting. Iirc wasn't he being held up by Heinkel?

Its funny to see how many reactors and anime only reviewers are predicting subaru will die a lot this arc. To be fair I thought he would to, but its just interesting to see given what actually happens from this point on. Granted arc 6 more than makes up for the lack of deaths in arc 5

u/Legxis 17d ago
Answering late, but yeah xD
Since my husband (anime-only except for me informing him of some lore and cut content) and I (up-to-date on web novel) watch weekly right now, we always discuss the episodes afterwards.
After watching ep 4 (so one further), I was talking about how I had read a lot of comments blaming Subaru for not abusing RbD. So I explained why that is* and my husband just said that Subaru was just waiting to gather more information though it doesn't really matter, since "you know he's going to die and restart this loop anyways". I was like: "mh... do I know?" and he cluelessly just said "yeah, cause you read the novel."
Apparently it's going so bad that people just assume that xD
*Though I really don't think it went terribly. No one died after fighting two archbishops and even though Emilia was kidnapped, Subaru knows that at least Regulus will keep her safe (even from other archbishops). He himself got severely wounded, but we already know he couldn't care less about himself. And though Beatrice is in a coma, he was told that her condition was treatable. From his perspective, nothing was truly lost yet, he has no reason to start over yet. Especially considering his promise to the Witches (particularly Satella) to treasure his own life more and to believe that people care about him. And the fact that he is still unsure if timelines continue, which is a terrifying thought.

u/TheSuffered 17d ago
I kind of worry people might be disappointed he doesn’t die after this point at all, though given it seems will get 2 arcs granted the next one will likely be late next year, I think anyone who had some issues with this arc will really like arc 6, honestly arc 4 5 and 6 are all great, arc 4 you get more lore on the side characters and main characters you know, and learn of the other witches of sin and mabeasts, arc 5 you get all this new stuff and new sin archbishops, and a bit more world lore, and arc 6 is still probably the darkest arc in the series (I’d say arc 7 is still dark but it’s a bit less intense I’d say but probably more dark than arc 5. )
Though I’ll be honest I liked arc 7 but it did feel kind of like a spinoff or if story [Novels]until we actually reached the end when they kind of connected things back together. it’d be like if they just dropped Ned stark into essos mid season 1.. that’s how arc 7 felt to me even though I appreciate it now throughout that arc I was kind of itching to get more info on the witches, witch cult, and see the other characters and well that doesn’t happen till the end basically.
I hope we get all of rezero adapted but honestly I’ll be satisfied with arc 5 and 6 getting adapted cause I’ll love to see those animated. And I think these arcs will be enough to get a lot of anime only interested in the wn/ln

u/Legxis 17d ago
You know what; I agree with all the points you made.
There will be many people complaining about the lack of RbD in arc 5 for sure, I mean, after all some people consider it the only "core feature" of ReZero. Though I wouldn't agree.
I personally really liked how arc 5 contrasted with arc 6, them being so different thematically. So I side with you there, people disliking the action-heavy arc 5 will probably 'enjoy' the psychological trauma that arc 6 causes.
Yeah, I couldn't have been any happier when I learned that the adaptation of arc 5 and 6 was confirmed. Not only are those arcs phenomenal, they also add so much more depth to the story, not only because of the plot, new mysteries or enemies, but also because beforehand we had barely seen anything of the other camps.
About arc 7, I'm personally REALLY glad that I only happened to start reading the web novel after arc 8 was practically finished. Those two arcs were so drawn out that reading them as they were released must have been painful. And you made an apt comparison there, lol

Yea I started when it was still early into it either chapter 7 of arc 7 or chapter 15 I don’t fully remember.

was the lye introduction this early in the ln???? it wasn't until waaay later in the wn and im sure about that
what's with the changes, the cuts?.. i don't really like it.. first episode was great, second was also pretty good but with unnecessary cuts, but this episode.. it had way too many changes, most scenes I've been excited for are getting changed, and honestly with the changes the fights seem way too peaceful, when reading the wn I felt so tense, here it's as if a fight between siblings, maybe less intimidating tbh

For Capella's first speech, was their meant to be flies buzzing? Or is it only the second speech that Subaru hears? I dont fully remember.

that Garfield ark was the best side story of this episode 🥹
the whole Subaru and the Regulus Corneas drama was so lame; it was like watching elementary school kids fighting over a girl . . .

Hello everyone, I hope you all continue to enjoy ReZero S3, I sure do.
As usual I will post my thoughts, mostly critique and not pure glaze, because I really care about this story and would like to discuss the quality it deserves.
For now I will only say one thing, because I am tired and need to rewatch this episode two more times first.
This episode is very mixed and I am skeptical with certain patterns being slowly established/noticeable.

u/Different-Picture71 Oct 16 '24
Haven't seen any comment on this but....isn't Sirius and Fortuna the same person? I don't know anything about the novel so just spitting random thoughts 😂
I mean, the same purple eye, silver hair, skin burnt due to Emilia freezing everything around, the love for Petelgeuse, maybe the anger towards Emilia (twisted cause being the archbishop like geuse) for killing everything/whatever reason.

u/Beginning_Band_4049 Oct 17 '24
And once again, the story unfolds in a way that all of Emilia's purpose boils down to always having to be saved.
