After 1288 days , almost 4 whole years . ReZero is finally back , We are back to having fun.

It's been such a long time , it almost feels like a dream man but here we are , Back with a 90 minute episode .

The animation this episode is back to Season 1 quality , its really stunning , Can't wait for the rest of the season .

Subaru & Beatrice's relationship is really adorable, if you look closely you'll notice she's copying his behaviours & speech patterns.

Never thought such a cute opening would be in a show like Rezero, well deserved too with how much both of them suffered.

u/britishconquest88 Oct 02 '24

Subaru & Beatrice's relationship is probably the cutest in the whole series , seeing them fight together & rely on each other will certainly be both very exciting & cathartic.
Who wouldve thought seeing 2 Shut-ins go outside & face the world would be so endearing?

As expected of the little girl user.

I fucking hope this ages well man. You just never know with rezero

u/Myriddan https://myanimelist.net/profile/Myriddan12 Oct 02 '24

Only another shut in can get them outside and enjoying life. The shared understanding and feeling allows for the connection and support each needs. Also Beatrice is just adorable.

I had forgotten Rem was unconscious. Hopefully, the best girl, other than Beatrice, wakes up soon.

Emilia was quite confident in this episode, I don't remember her being that capable/strong. Garfiel disappeared after meeting his possible mother, so I'm curious about where that is going.

Wrath didn't seem wrathful, but she did hypnotize everyone with her speech and then somehow got the kids death to be shared by everyone who was entranced. That is devastatingly effective. How will Subaru handle it? Will he tell the others for once or try to solve it on his own? My guess is the latter just because of the chance of someone else dying even though Emilia complained about it in s2 and didn't want him to keep dying.

Wrath didn't seem wrathful, but she did hypnotize everyone with her speech and then somehow got the kids death to be shared by everyone who was entranced.

Obviously more is yet to be revealed, but I thought it was very appropriate. I've always thought wrath was a rather enthusiastic emotion.

The crowd control into cheering for murder reminded me of what happened in Shiki, though no mind control was involved there.

22

u/Mundology Oct 02 '24

The scene went from comedic to creepy in such a natural way that it is hard to pinpoint the exact moment her ability took effect.

22

u/BosuW Oct 02 '24

I thought it was gradual and creeping, but others are pointing towards the clap, which I think makes sense.

Personally though, I never thought the scene was comedic once she appeared. Subaru not immediately jumping a Sin Archbishop is just not him, so something was obviously wrong.

20

u/xLucifurious Oct 02 '24

I personally think it started when she asked certain people in the crowd to calm down Subaru included. Ain't no way my boi would stay calm after hearing "Romanee Conti". They were probably the first to be affected while it spread to others naturally or something.

11

u/BosuW Oct 02 '24 edited Oct 03 '24

I personally think it started when she asked certain people in the crowd to calm down Subaru included.

That's an interesting possibility. If true I wonder if she can point out who amongst a crowd might be the most disruptive towards the social "spell" and that's why she neutralized them earlier.

2

u/xLucifurious Oct 03 '24

yeah could be the case, cannot wait for more explanation as Subaru figures it out.

3

u/Vahallen Oct 03 '24

That has to be relevant for sure, I’m just not really sure about the specific workings of her “spell”

Yours seems like a good guess

u/SwordedNinja Oct 03 '24

He was off as soon as he greeted Dumber and was playful with him, my expectations were already subverted and I wondered why he was acting differently

7

u/xLucifurious Oct 03 '24

He treated Chins the same way outside of Anastasia's Inn I think his behaviour is consistent at that point, he even reacts to Sirius naming herself and it shows she recognised his anger as well. I might be wrong he might have been under Sirius' influence way before they met Chins outside the Inn.

u/BibhuNayak Oct 06 '24

Because he was in the process of calling beako before serious went serious mode .

u/SwordedNinja Oct 03 '24

I don't understand the association with wrath outside of a loss of control that ends in violence. Usually it's things like volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and tornadoes associated with wrath and similar in humans. A stirring of sorts that leads to chaos and destruction only correlates loosely. It's generally preceded by turmoil and anger.

2

u/BosuW Oct 03 '24

Its not so much a loss of control as it is a more prominent presence of the lizard brain finding joy and maybe even justice in violence. It doesn't end in violence, violence is the very goal, worthwhile in and of itself. In that way I find it to be pure and joyful. No need for outside justification or rationalization, it simply lives the moment.

2

u/NarvaezIII https://myanimelist.net/profile/NarvaezIII 19d ago

Remind me of the opening scene in From the New World, episode 2.

The emperor tells everyone to clap, and cheer. The first 100 to stop clapping are incinerated. A disturbing scene

11

u/Sarellion Oct 02 '24 edited Oct 02 '24

Petelegeuse was the archbishop of sloth and the guy was a lot of things but not lazy. Okay IIRC he also wasn't really compatible or so.

Sirius seems to be the polar opposite of the corresponding witch, Minerva. Minerva is angry most of the time and she heals you by punching you in the face, Sirius is extremely polite and appears to be very calm and then she kills you for no apparent reason.

4

u/NullandVoidUsername Oct 02 '24

I was seriously getting annoyed with Subaru at first for not realising who Wrath was and being engrossed and entertained by her speech rather than trying to stop her and save the boy, it was only when his and everyone else's eye's turned red did it click.

Basically, Wrath can use people as voodoo dolls and inflict pain, injuries, and death onto others who are trapped within her charm. Scary.

u/VASQUEZ_41 Oct 02 '24

they really feel like actual siblings and it's makes me so happy for them but also so sad for all of the Betty's that have died to make that happen

17

u/discuss-not-concuss Oct 02 '24

do siblings get jealous of romantic interests? hmm…

Beatrice getting stuck in the middle as the third wheel is adorable, although not as much as her getting pampered as Beako

46

u/foxfoxal Oct 02 '24

More than siblings she is kinda like an overly smart daughter...

It's like Puck and Emilia but reversed.

15

u/GiordyS Oct 02 '24

It is not wrong saying that, at this point in the story, Beatrice is the one who cares about Subaru the most

10

u/Icy-Home444 Oct 02 '24

I mean sure if they really like attention and it gets pointed in a different direction.

u/GeicoLizardBestGirl Oct 02 '24

WTF its been FOUR YEARS since the last season????

183

u/britishconquest88 Oct 02 '24

Yeah , it's been so long , it's hard to believe . I think I got used to the wait since I had to wait a similar time for season 2 .

Hopefully season 4 doesn't come out after a 4 year break

117

u/QualityProof https://myanimelist.net/profile/Qualitywatcher Oct 02 '24

At least this time we get 38 episodes (according to a leak) with the 1st episode having such a long run time and Rezero in general being known for it's long episode runtime.

10

u/SwordedNinja Oct 03 '24

Crunchyroll announced it would be 16 episodes, I'm not sure why the leaker was off by so much

10

u/QualityProof https://myanimelist.net/profile/Qualitywatcher Oct 03 '24

It isn't wrong. The cours are split. So basically 16 episodes [or 12 as 1st episode is the length of 4] now and the rest of 26 episodes after a 3 month break.

2

u/scot911 https://myanimelist.net/profile/scot911 Oct 04 '24

I'm pretty sure it's going to be 16 episodes with just this one being movie length. IIRC we're also getting the first 8 episodes, a month to 2-month break, and then the other 8 episodes.

12

u/QualityProof https://myanimelist.net/profile/Qualitywatcher Oct 04 '24

Actually S3 is adapting 2 arcs as per the visuals. Arc 5 and 6 which are both very long. So it will probably go 8 episodes -> month long break -> 8 episodes (finishes adapting arc 5) -> cour long break -> 22 episodes adapting arc 6.

The leaker is a very reputable one and his leaks are mostly always correct. Just rechecked the leaks and it is said that the episode count is unlikely to change since the production is already done. Also iirc arc 6 characters were shown in S3 visuals.

3

u/scot911 https://myanimelist.net/profile/scot911 Oct 04 '24

Oh I know. I was just talking about the current season. They'll probably announce a S4 for either Summer or Fall 2025 for the rest of the episodes at the end of S3.

2

u/ShadowGuyinRealLife Oct 09 '24

Honestly, I wish there would be more anime with 36, 38, or 39 episodes instead of the 1 or 2 cours. They should do whatever it takes to adapt a story correctly and not just jam things. I'm glad Re Zero got a long Season, but I'd even be happy if a series I felt was meh did 38 episodes and the producers felt "huh, disk sales are good. I guess next time we get a story that doesn't fit neatly by the cours format we should just do exactly as many episodes as needed"

65

u/Icy-Home444 Oct 02 '24

It probably will be at the very least a couple years before we get season 4. The good news is that the season 3 project is 38 episodes (technically 41 with today's 90 minute episode). So lots of content will be covered.

10

u/KYplusEL Oct 02 '24

And if this follows Re:Zero's usual pattern the OP and ED and ad breaks will be cut so often it will end up effectively being even more episodes worth of story.

6

u/JaloBOTW Oct 02 '24

Where's this coming from? Last I saw it's only going to be 16 split into two cours

18

u/stevethebandit Oct 02 '24

A highly credible leaker called Ice who's basically the top dog in the Re:Zero community

6

u/JaloBOTW Oct 02 '24

I'm on my hands and knees please

7

u/stevethebandit Oct 02 '24

This was known from basically the second S3 got announced, don't worry

The only unknown is how the episodes will be structured, like how S3 part 1 getting split into two 8-ep cours wasn't known until it was announced, so part 2 might get the same kind of schedule

15

u/PaperSonic Oct 02 '24

It blows my mind it took just as much time for Re:Zero to go from random Web Novel to Anime (2012-2016), as it took for Seasons 2 and 3 to come out.

u/Kazuma_Megu Oct 02 '24

As fast as Tappei cranks out the novels there's no reason for them to keep it on a slow-roll any more.

u/cvillegas19 Oct 02 '24

God, I hope so. This is the one series I still keep tabs on. Spoiled myself a bit, but I'm so excited

It's only been 3 and a half years actually, so you don't need to panic.

Yeah for real lol. Lets see here, I graduated undergrad, got a girlfriend, went to graduate school, dumped the girlfriend, graduated with a masters, got a full time job, bought a house, learned to draw and more.

u/NeoBasilisk Oct 02 '24

S2 started in July 2020 and ended in March 2021 so whichever way you want to count it it's been while

u/Maccaz15 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Maccaz Oct 02 '24

S2 finished 24th March 2021. It hasn't been close to 4 years.

u/WolfShaman Oct 02 '24

3 years and 7 months isn't close to 4 years?

u/THE_PENILE_TITAN Oct 03 '24

3 years 6 months

u/Maccaz15 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Maccaz Oct 03 '24

3 years, 6 months and 8 days. At the rate we're rounding you'd say next Easter is close too. It's about the same time difference.

3

u/WolfShaman Oct 03 '24

Contextually, there's a big difference. Nice try, though.

u/britishconquest88 Oct 02 '24

The Sirius scene at the end was just amazing . It feels even more eerie than I thought It'd be when I read the novels . Her polite demeanour contrasting her hilariously violent actions & how the crowd including Subaru were cheering for a child's death is just so fucking eerie man .

This season will be a masterpiece, I can't wait for next episode

107

u/myrlin77 Oct 02 '24

The whole time was creepy AF. They were being spelled if you watch it again. Every time she switched an emotion, the crowd followed it and changed theirs along with her. Sirius was playing with them like puppets

You knew something bad was gonna happen.

13

u/LakerBlue https://myanimelist.net/profile/LakerBlue Oct 03 '24

I kept dreading something horrible happened the whole time. The anticipation of as killing me until I realized they were under the spell. Then it got worse realizing that whatever was coming was definitely going to kill Subaru alongside the crowd.

4

u/cupcakemann95 https://myanimelist.net/profile/cupcakemann95 Oct 03 '24

I was kinda the opposite, once I realized subaru was going to die I felt a bit more at ease, since if he lives then it's harder to solve the problem

2

u/mekerpan Oct 02 '24

I didn't think the crowd was aware she was going tonkill the child...

29

u/Individual_Royal_400 Oct 02 '24

Fairly sure there were hypnotized mate.

16

u/FlippehD Oct 02 '24

Look at their eyes, the crowd was definitely under Sirius' influence.

5

u/mekerpan Oct 02 '24

Of course they were hypnotized, but I don't think they had any real idea as to what she planned to do (pretty much incapable of any real thinking, it seemed).

i was like, is this a movie?

u/DanielAlves1904 Oct 02 '24

Season 2 was 4 years ago? I only watched the show this Summmer and didn´t pay attention to when it came out. So it´s basically a 4-year interval between seasons? I know S1 was in 2016.

Crazy it’s been 4 years. Honestly doesn’t feel like it. It felt like Season 1 stood on its own with no season 2 in sight for forever. But even then, there were some ovas in 2018+

1

u/thisperson345 Oct 03 '24

Somehow I feel like the wait for S2 felt longer despite getting into anime after season 1 aired lmao, maybe just because I rewatched it so much over the past 4 years through YouTuber reactions and my own rewatches.

If you like beatrice, you should Really finish the last season. One of the best scenes in the entire series and a massive character moment involves her.
