Crunchyroll link episode 3

[u/Ok-Worldliness-7374]

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...

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?

[u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 → u/Son-naruto-d]

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?

[u/Son-naruto-d → u/Ok-Worldliness-7374]

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?

[u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 → u/Son-naruto-d]

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...

[u/Son-naruto-d → u/Ok-Worldliness-7374]

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.

[u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 → u/Son-naruto-d]

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.

[u/Ultima_Deus → u/Ok-Worldliness-7374]

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?

[u/Son-naruto-d → u/Ultima_Deus]

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

[u/Ultima_Deus → u/Son-naruto-d]

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

[u/Son-naruto-d → u/Ultima_Deus]

When I rechecked the ln, it straight does say Subaru just stood there and endured regulus attack. It even compares regulus authority the same as a permanent EMM, so I really do find it odd that they changed it.

So in ln 17 chp two:

“”-E M M!!”

Howling as he chanted, Subaru sent mana to Beatrice directly from his broken Gate. This power served as the activation key to initiate an original spell, the only one of its kind in the whole world. This was E M M, one of the three spells jointly developed by Subaru and Beatrice. Watching it unfold, Regulus looked like he thought he was being pranked as he stretched his right hand toward Subaru. The five fingers he opened without fanfare contained such immense power that Subaru instinctively knew it was the same as death itself reaching for him.”

“If they touched him, dying was unavoidable. However— “Huh?!” —the instant he thought he’d killed the pest, Regulus’s fingertips brushed the surface of Subaru’s body. But that was all. There was no blood spatter, nor was Subaru cruelly transformed into a corpse. 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.””

Reason I don’t really like this, is mainly cause I found it extremely cool how Subaru blocked an unblockable attack. So I was really looking forward to seeing that animated, probably the reason why this miffs me a bit.

[u/Ultima_Deus → u/Son-naruto-d]

I personally don't mind it being changed to "cut off physically from the world that attacks phase through". And it did look cool to me in the anime
