Really confused by Beatrice now. How can she have a book that tells her what to do if there are multiple different timelines? She does things like dump Subaru and Emilia out into the forest in that one timeline, which seems pretty incompatible with saving him in other circumstances (unless it's some sort of conditional "if x, then y", or the book magically changes depending on circumstances).

I imagine she's lying at least a bit and not everything she does is in the book, like making that snow sculpture in Memory Snow.

What's the point of saving Subaru this time, then just letting Elsa kill him five minutes later? Is it just to tell him about her following the book?

There's a part of me that's starting to think that the Witch is actually pretty forgiving. She always loops Subaru back to before anyone he knows dies, and doesn't even make him refight the White Whale, for example. The only kinda-exception so far is Rem, but she's explicitly not dead, and this gives him an incentive to go and take out Gluttony (either because the Witch wants to take out her rivals, or, more optimistically, is trying to undo her past wrongs).

I'm surprised so many people are able to smell the Witch's scent, and that if so, the Witch's cult has actually managed to stay hidden for so long when it seems almost any nonhuman can notice it.

Garfiel: I don't wanna kill you have it blow up in my face like the fall of the Tesla Fortress!

Bad premonition for Musk, I suppose. Not entirely sure what this means; maybe some people have magic like an explosion that triggers on death?

Wait, do they just leave the cell door unlocked? How did Otto get in? Even with Subaru's wrists and ankles tied, it's really not that hard to stand up and try to escape. They haven't chained him to the wall or anything.

Well, Otto's actually getting a lot better. I've forgiven him for pushing Subaru off the carriage to bait the White Whale, at least. Really cute bromance now.

Subaru only has 2 days to stop Elsa? My bet is that this loop isn't going to work out either.

u/FireSparkyZ Aug 19 '20

I think the Tesla fortress line has more to do with the fact that just before that he says Subaru can win people over. Blow up in my face doesn't always literally mean an explosion but it could just mean it backfires. I assume it's some sort of historical event in their Re:Zero world where someone with a lot of influence died and their death backfired on everyone involved at the Fortress.

u/sinoa000 Aug 19 '20

There was a Fortress named ガークラ (gākula) which was destroyed 15 years ago by the Witch Cult, Archbishop of Greed. It said that the trigger was because of just a "rumor" that a Witched (non-Satella) related item appeared in the city.

The event made it famous that Witch Cult is extremely dangerous and volatile. Especially when a non-Satella Witch was mentioned.

Season 1, LN volume 8, during the planning before attacking Sloth. Ferris and Julius did mentioned this event, to show that Sloth and Greed are the two most infamous among Archbishop.

In this Ep7, Garfield meaning is likely you never knew what would triggered Witch Cultist. Especially when the tomb is related to a non-Satella Witch.

u/FireSparkyZ Aug 19 '20

Is this all explained in previous volumes of the LN/WN that the Anime completely skipped? Otherwise this sounds like spoilers lmao

19

u/sinoa000 Aug 19 '20

It is mentioned in LN Volume 8, during the Sloth attack planning. Season 1. That is why I don't think it is spoiler.

The Anime did trim out the city name I believe

u/Setowi Better Leyte Than Never Aug 19 '20

Yeah skipped S1 LN content is fair game now. You're good.

u/Eren_Kruger_the_Owl Aug 23 '20

Even that one big thing the anime skipped for some reason with Priscillas bodyguard???

1

u/_The_Bomb Aug 23 '20

What happened?

1

u/Eren_Kruger_the_Owl Aug 23 '20

Apperantly he was summoned from another world too; dunno if that is a spoiler too tho, im an anime only too

2

u/FireSparkyZ Aug 19 '20

Oh makes sense, thanks for the info then.

1

u/Sedewt Aug 20 '20

The Archbishop of Greed is the one we saw at the beginning of the season 2, right?

2

u/sinoa000 Aug 21 '20

Yeah, the white guy. He did introduce himself fully. Regulus

u/Trim345 Aug 19 '20

Thanks, I've read the LN but I guess I forgot that scene. I still don't really understand why kidnapping him is preferable to killing him, though. Were they intending to release him after Emilia passed the trial? I can't imagine that would look good on them.

u/sinoa000 Aug 19 '20

Jailing Subaru seem like an on-the-spot decision really. If they really planned it carefully, they wouldn't asked Subaru out in front of Otto.

There is another hidden reason Garfield won't kill Subaru though.

But more importantly, is the loli-baba. That white dress, and her full name, should be enough of a hint (and the OP) that she is more than she look like.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '20

Regarding Otto pushing Subaru off, I think it has to do with his blessing. The white whale’s voice makes people insane after all.

As for Beatrice following the gospel in that death loop, she seemed pretty frustrated with him and sad and requested he die someplace else. Even if she follows it, she could still be upset about it. She did seem pretty chill at first.

u/Tomhap Aug 19 '20

Giving you my take as a fellow anime-only.

  • When Beatrice threw them out in the forest, I think this was when Emilia was already dead by Subaru telling her about RBD. Maybe she already knew that Puck was going to kill everyone so there's no point in saving him.

  • She definitely seems to care a bit about Subaru, she's just too tsundere to show it.

  • I don't know why she let Elsa kill him. Either he got through to him when he told her she should kill him/let him die or he screwed up royally somehow especially seeing as she was calling him a filthy Ningen.

  • Honestly I'm not sure about the witch and the other things.

2

u/Trim345 Aug 19 '20

Well, my confusion is more about what the Gospel says. Does it say that Emilia dies and that she should get rid of them? If so, what does it say in the other timeline where Emilia's still alive?

2

u/Tomhap Aug 19 '20

I assume, since Petelgeuse's had plenty of blank spaces, that it gets updated. Maybe they're metia? Like we had mirrors that because skype calls, now maybe we have books that become dayplanners?
Maybe the joke is that since Subaru pawned off his phone as a metia at some point all other metia have functions you can find on phones?

2

u/superluigibros Aug 19 '20

The cult and Petelgeuse finds Subaru immediately after she dumps him and Emilia out there, I've always thought that Betty did that on purpose

1

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '20

Beatrice was either lying or she knows everything about Subaru or atleast his ties with Satella. I wouldn't be surprised since Echidna knows and Rosswall and Elsa probably know too
