At the premiere at anime expo it was actually mentioned that the reason they made the first episode 1 hour and 30 minutes is because they felt that to get people back into the show they needed to include the first return by death.
I was at the premiere at AX as well, even got to the front row by staying through the previous panels. This was such the right call by the director to have this a 90 mins episode because it felt like a movie instead of your every day anime episode. The tension leading up to the scene with Sirius was so palpalable I was shaking so much in my seat.
@@GeneralxGrievousxalso another thing is the amount of talking and setup done at the beginning, there wasnt very many places to end episodes before this. they got thru all the necessary pieces and we get basically back to back action every week from here on out not saying this part is boring or anything, i absolutely love the slice of life moments we see. more characters interactions and lore.
About the Regulas thing, the author describes him as very average looking to the point where you couldn't pick him out in a crowd, but the illustrator decided to drip him TF out and make him handsome, which is why it's a bit confusing
Yeah, I really like his LN design, but the point of Regulus's design in the WN is that absolutly nothing about him stand out, he is the type of guy you see on the street and instantly forget about.
keep this in mind too that tappei literally never describes regulus again after the first time in arc 4 (as far as the WN goes). in all of arc 5 regulus is not at all described physically. this made it really easy to end up making some other design for him along the way. however, it still makes sense even with his drip. the focal point of emilia's trial, in her own eyes, was mostly the events surrounding her mother and geuse. regulus was sort of secondary to that. even when she's watching a scene with regulus in it, she's mostly focused on what happens to geuse and fortuna rather than what regulus or pandora are doing. i wouldnt put it past her to muddy the memory of regulus after a year of not thinking much about those things. id also understand if she would like to put some of those less desirable memories of her past aside and not relive them from time to time.

It's not that surprising that Emilia doesn't directly remember Regulus. She saw him in what was essentially a vivid dream, for about 2 solid minutes, a whole ass year ago. She didn't even see most of the moments he was involved in, because she was following her own younger self as the POV for the sequence. Most of that was just for the audience.
@me7deI always feel like people don't bring up enough the fact Emilia can't remember faces of people, even those she knows. Spoiler for the future, but she couldn't even remember Subaru's face, and his face only changed slightly.
@@Piri-uw5rm Spoiler for those who care Subaru turns into a child, Subaru goes and meets Emilia, Emilia DOESN'T recognize Subaru (in fact she when asked she thinks he looks familiar, and suggest that he might be a family member, but that was a guess at the moment of being asked), everyone else does recognize Subaru, there's multiple instances of Subaru putting a disguise, almost everyone notices it's him, but Emilia never does (of course there's some exceptions where others don't recognize Subaru because he disguised himself REALLY well) but 100% of the time Emilia won't recognize someone if it looks slightly different. Also before you ask, kid Subaru looked exactly like Subaru but small.
the fact that there was one hour and a half of just wholesome moments, people having fun and in general a good time (excluding the whole Reinghard´s dad thing) should have been a indication that Re zero was gonna take that happines back with interest, man and those final 10 minutes of the episode didnt disapoint
I wouldn't say it was one hour and a half of "just wholesome moments, people having fun and in general a good time". There were plenty of serious scenes. Garfield's doubt about his strength and the sequence with Elsa in his mind, which then led him to seeing who is potentially his mother, and that's obviously giving him some conflicting, negative feelings. There was the conversation between Willhelm and Subaru immediately after that, which was also a serious scene, if heartwarming. And then of course the entire scene with Heinkel which you already mentioned. And then the fallout of that scene with the conversation between Subaru and Julius.
@@AnimeSimp234 Yeah i know, what i say was a oversimplification, but in general terms this was the most chill episode of Re zero, and that what make it so unsettling, for evey joken and even the serius talk the have i was waiting for other shoe to drop, an that make Serius introduction even more frightening
Heinkel has depressed Paul vibes, except after the teleportation incident, only Rudeus survived, and Paul blames the deaths of the rest of his family on Rudeus for not trying hard enough to find them. Damn, that's a fanfic lol.
Spoilers for side content, unlikely to be adapted into the anime: . . . . In the pride if story, after Wilhelm is wiped from history after his death to the white whale, Heinkel and Reinhard have a better relationship. Heinkel also defended Reinhard from Wilhelm’s accusations too. Why he ended up changing is hinted at, but I won’t go further simply cuz the side content didn’t explain it fully.
That ending scene was so horrifying it gave me chills. Seeing Subaru and the crowd smile tears of joy clapping as this poor kid is dropped from the tower was so unnerving. Idk if its just me but did Subaru's smile look forced? Almost like somewhere in there he was trying to fight the spell and was deeply horrified watching what was happening. After Returning by Death and hearing Subaru say "I feel sick" is pretty fitting for the feeling he must be going through. Not only has he just RBD for the first time in a year, but that whole ordeal of being under a trance must feel sooo violating. His pose of wrapping his arms around himself to hug himself is usually a pretty big sign of trauma connected to being violated. Being made to do, say and feel things you wouldn't normally do against your will. Sickening. Welp, this definitely was the ultimate welcome back to trauma with Re:Zero
@@PrastoooO *sin archbishop of wrath* But yeeah, that must be such a sickening feeling to be forcefully taken against your will. Subaru just can never take a break from suffering
Who said they were tears of joy? With eyes being regarded as the door/window to the soul, I actually viewed it as the only genuine reaction of the people in the crowd. Actually tears of utter terror and fear, while unable to look away from the brutal humiliation, torture and murder of a child, all the while clapping and chearing it on...
@@MrFox-xr9cc nah, they were def happy. Probably cuz Sirius was so happy herself. But that’s why Subaru was so disturbed afterwards. Cuz she manipulated their emotions, almost like mob mentality. This was a case of mental and emotional torture over physical.
@@ma.2089 I get it was torture, hence the part about me saying "tears of utter terror and fear". I do believe she can control what people say and do, but i don't know if she can ultimately control what people THINK. At least we don't know that yet. Especially because these smiles look so desperately forced and we know that the Archbishops are degenerate in the worst ways possible. So letting her victims know and feel, what is happening, while they are acting against their own will, would make sense to me. So until we have any other proof I will keep with the tears of terror.
In case you are wondering, "Wafuu" literally just means Japanese style. Of course, the residents of this world doesn't know what Japan is, so they just use the term without knowing the meaning.
Rewatching the old seasons after new content is great because they hint at so much stuff. All of Betelgeuse ramblings make sense with the context of his past, and when Emilia kills him in one loop, a tear falls down her cheek because subconsciously, she knows who he is. Learning how contracts work and seeing them accidently made early on. Knowing Roswaal was responsible for everything and how often he goes out to set things up, also probing Subaru for info he shouldn't know unless... A lot of stuff being mentioned before it becomes relevant. I can't wait to rewatch after S3 to see what else was set up. Already in this episode, I see potential connections.
Rewatching this with the reaction, I realised Priscilla is doing exactly the same thing she did in season 1, when she brought Subaru to the Royal Selection ... except instead of Subaru this time the bumbling fool that sows chaos is Heinkel...
I hate to break it to you, but those ‘stupid rumors’ weren’t wrong. Ben’s not getting better he’s dead, and the stalker has taken over. The recent posts are just part of the cover-up to make it seem like everything’s okay, but the truth is much darker. I know it’s hard to accept, but people need to realize what’s really going on here.
@@Everythingmaxxer Yeah yeah Stalker will transform into Ben. Let me guess Stalker is an alien from Delulu planet. Please find a better job you are just making it difficult for others and probably living a miserable life yourself.
@@dheerajvukyam1405 You can make jokes about the stalker being an alien or say I’m living a miserable life, but that doesn’t change the reality of what’s happening. Ben isn’t getting better-he’s dead, and the stalker has taken over. The recent posts are just part of the plan to make it look like everything is fine, but it’s not. The truth is darker than people want to admit, and the more you laugh it off, the easier it is for them to keep things hidden. I’m not here to convince everyone, but people deserve to know what’s really going on. If you want to keep dismissing it, that’s your choice, but don’t say I didn’t try to warn you about the truth behind this cover-up.
Everythingmaxxer, this isn't the first time that ben had an episode, by your logic, the current ben is a previous stalker that has taken over the original ben and now this ben has been replaced by another stalker. Are you seeing how silly that sounds? Do you think every stalker has superpowers that let them turn into ben? How long are you going to cling to your fantasy ? That might have worked on some people before, but they have already made a statement officially.
It’s both. It’s like comparing demon and ogre. In Japan it’s like the same. They refer to him in actuality as a warlock, but the way it pertains to Roswaal is him taking on an inhuman position.
@@ma.2089 it's not both, Majin is just the male version of Majou just a Male Witch. There is no indication that Majin was being used as an insult and it's not unlike "devil"/"demon" in English, Japanese Majin is not commonly used as an insult. The way it brakes done in Japanese is Ma "magic, evil" and Jou "woman"/Jin "man", it sometimes depending on the usage can mean "Devil" or "Evil Spirit" but it's not the usage in Re:Zero at all.
Witch is a gender neutral term both men and women are Witches, there is a difference in name in Japanese. But in English witch only became a woman-only term due to more recent media like Harry Potter.
As an anime only, I am extremely hype for this arc. I loved the slow build up of tension. From the moment Regulus showed up on the street, something immediately felt off to me. I love Regulus. But him appearing anywhere is almost never good. The worst part is, we as the audience know how dangerous and powerful he is. But none of the characters do. Well, Emilia technically knows from when he showed up in her past. But she seemingly doesn't remember him. It must feel so awful for Subaru. Having a year of relative peace and quiet. Only to suddenly be thrown back into the horror of death. And you guys are definitely right. Subaru usually goes back a few days beforehand. Hours has probably been the least amount of time he's gone back like when he tried to save Rem at the beginning of S2. But he only seems to have gone back 10-20 minutes at best this time Something I immediately noticed was Sirius has the same last name as Petelgeuse. I only picked up on it because our Sloth boy said his full name constantly when introducing himself to Subaru. So it definitely stuck out to me. Whether she's related to him or worshiped/loved him, I don't know. But something's off. And she has a very similar eye color to Emilia and Fortuna. Her ears look very sharp under the bandages. I wonder if she's an elf as well.
Yeah honestly I'm wondering when they would bring up to that deleted scene since it's such an important information, maybe in season 4 or 5 ? They must bring it during Arc 8 at least
JUST CLEARING UP WHY SUBARU JOINED IN ON THE FIRST LILANA SONG. it's because him and emilia have a big age gap with emilia being like 117 or something its not cuz he like them young 😭😭😭
This is the message from their Patreon. You can also see it in the RUclips community post- I cannot figure out a way to start this post, as everything I am typing feels tired, over said, another excuse and stupid. The past few months I have been doing okay mental health wise after my Bipolar episode. After Anna and I got sick, I was hit with another wave of an episode. I haven't had the clarity to figure out the best way to convey what I am feeling because at the end of the day, I don't think that it will make sense. However, saying nothing was and is the absolute wrong answer. When I am at the low point with my Bipolar, the only thing that I can focus on is that I am letting you down. Not meeting the schedule that I am creating for myself, and then hating myself for various different reasons. If the situation wasn't as severe as it was, I would have acted differently. When it is severe, I get to a place where it feels like saying anything will make it worse on myself. It is selfish and not fair to do that. And that is why I am writing this, even if its tired, over said, another excuse and stupid. -Ben Hi, It's Anna. Thank you for reading. In the coming days I will be posting Oshi no Ko 13, MHA 20 and 21 and Kizumonogatari Part 2. After those are released, we will be working at a pace that is best for Ben, putting out things as we get them done; therefore, we are not going to make a schedule or promises that may be unable to be fulfilled. Thank you for reading Ben's words. -Anna
This power definitely has "If I suffer, everyone else should suffer too" vibes so the stuff happening to the kid happening to everyone else under the spell makes sense. I think the tell was the clap. Right when she claps you can see everyone kind react to it and straighten up like they're at attention
2 things worth pointing out: The Nickname was made because most people don't know Beatrice is a spirit, so when they see Subaru bringing her to fight they got the wrong impression, hence the "little girl user" As for Regulus, Emilia had her memories messed up by Pandora, she barely saw him during the trial and that trial was 1 year ago, so it kinda makes sense she doesn't recognize him immediately. Beako is pretty with a Yukata, not gonna lie. The episode's end was basically a reminder to us: This is not your usual isekai, this is Re:Zero
Regulus is also a "bad" adaptation from the novel, in the LN he was the most average dude you could think of, you wouldn't be able to point him in a crowd, but in the anime, he's a pimp so he doesn't make sense Emilia wouldn't recognize him, it's a shame, it make her look like a moron for a bit. Also Emilia got her memories back after the first trial so she remembers Pandora
@@dokkino7105His design wad already like that in the LN illustrations. It is on the Web Novel, where he had no illustration, that he was described as average looking (maybe he was in the LN too, but the illustrator kinda went crazy and ruined that lol)
at around 36:00, idk which subs you guys had, but the translation was completely wrong here. Subaru says something like “how much do i have to suffer” which makes him sound like a selfish prick. he actually says, “So its okay for you to trample all over others feelings?” edit: nvm you guys had the right subs, i noticed a change later on that was made afterwards
@@EpicgamerRehanPOG2000 they never say that lol, they simply taking break because of ben's mental health right know that doesn't mean we gonna get the reaction even when part 2 is release
It's been a full month already. Who knows, maybe Ben is rewatching ss1&2 right now 😂. Hopefully they'll come back soon. Honestly, I'd love for them to react to every season Breaktime ep's. A lot of the questions they had in previous ss have answers in those, especially in ss3 💀💀
9:33 You are so right Anna, the author made a post about the scene revealing that Garf simply didn’t want to hold still and volunteered to take the role
@@ibvbmm9889awlietyyvccShe's not at all though? She was the first one to see through Subaru twice in the first season. Initially in the mansion arc, and later in the capital. She's quite smart.
@@ibvbmm9889awlietyyvcc I'm really wondering how they're going to adapt it since they cut most of his monologues in the anime, I really thought it was funny how we got a whole chapter of him non-stop yapping about how every single bad thing in his life was never his fault and everyone else is the problem.
I love your reactions. I just hope that you guys won't try to force too many episodes into a single reaction session. I think the quality of your discussions would suffer too much. And as much as I would like to get the content as soon as possible, I would prefer to get each episode one by one.
yes its popular theory for sirius to be fortuna, the purple eye, white hair and (spoiler) elf ear, she is dead then frozen but revived by pandora coz she is compatible with wrath witch factor, but coz of the reviving its messed her mind, and the bandages is for burn damage received when she was frozen.
Do we know if they'll react to Re:Zero Breaktime Season 3? This season of the chibi shorts actually has some pretty important lore and character reveals that will matter a lot in the coming seasons, so it'd be a shame if they weren't aware of them.
That ending scene was the most I've been affected by a horror scene in Re:Zero. It created so many difficult to describe feelings in me, and those feelings lingered for quite some time. Haunting stuff.
Wrath here is the letting your emotions completely control you, not anger. The anger version of it obviously is wrath, like anger possessing you to do things you regret. But it can be any emotion and still included in the definition. Also Subaru chose to be more greedy in arc 4 so don't assume a sin is treated as definitely a sin by the narrative. It's more a being human and balancing sins and virtues kind of theme. Recent thought I had is that Petelgeuse hypocritically judges people for slothfulness because he was meant to take care of the witch factor but betrayed his role to fight Regulus. He's in denial about his actions and the literal sloth witch factor was his downfall so he has personal reasons to hate "sloth", though it was originally the factor not some ideology. Even relying on the witch factor in hopes that he could defend them was slothful in his mind probably. So all these factors make you realise his behaviour might not be generally applicable even if the cultists all attack like that.
Elf ears, silver hair, purple eyes, Geuse's surname, talks about love, hides her appearance in bandages... I have absolutely no idea who this could possibly be? 🧐
you guys are really good at theory crafting and speculating! Ur reactions are awesome too, cant wait for the rest of season 3. 1:20:20 Not cheating at all ig, re zero has alot of lore that a season1 + 2 rewatch can refresh you with everything that was going on
Agree ! Honestly for the theories they cook up without seeing Echidnut, Aninews or breaktime content, it's amazing what they could predict, a shame the scheduling aspect is really bad so that being on Patreon isn't worth it in the long run for them, Imma stick to Cawcaw for now
@@dokkino7105 I am literally in the same boat! I was subscribed to their patreon but stopped due to their schedule even though their my favorite reactors to anything! And I am subscribed to cawcaw purely for re zero!
@@MrTimeattacker Cawcaw is really hard to watch if you're not familiar with that type of tone I agree wholeheartedly,that's one of the reason he doesn't gain that much sub compared to others. One thing you can't say about him thought is that he goes in depth so much into the content that watching others "casual" reaction is painful
Hey just wanted to say of all the series you guys reacting to i think its fine to take re:zero one ep at a time when you come back no worries about catching up since this season cour is just 8 ep and then 2 months break and back in February so it can easily align as well
Each season of this show ends in such beautifully well-earned manner that makes me believe subconsciously that my man won't have to return by death anymore and next season will be slice of life fun time. And everytime I am proven wrong and traumatized. Truly a masterpiece
The best part about reaching Arc 5 of the web novel is that we’re almost at Arc 6. Arc 6 is utterly peak fiction. It was so captivating that at one point I read for eight hours straight, on the edge of my seat the entire time. I can’t wait for the next season.
I'm actually kinda excited about this with all these Sin Archbishops here, he could avoid one only to stumble into another and then find himself back at this same starting point, he puts together a plan and squad to deal with the two archbishops when finally he realizes...there's yet another one, just right there that he needs to handle! And then he needs to restart again and try to figure out what's going on and he realizes that although there's all these people around, Reinhard can only be in one place at a time and when he figures out what to do next, then all of a sudden there's another complication!
Hmm but the problem is author has no plan to give him a power up which kinda make it annoying Atleast he can fight any one of them himself or atleast stall them enough until help arrives
01:14:52 They do not have the same hair color. Felt is a blonde. Priscilla is a redhead. They have the same eye color, but the eye shape is different, as is the shape of their faces.
This season of Rizero is going to be amazing. By the way, I'm sorry if you've already seen it, but the last episode of Oshi no Ko is episode 13. Have you seen it? It's a pretty intense final episode, so I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction.
Another fortuna-sirius connection is, we see in the trailer that she uses fire magic, which is also used by fortuna and emilia. See, in the world of re;zero, ice magic isnt a subset of water magic, its a subset of fire magic.

@@AnimeSimp234 Yeah i know, what i say was a oversimplification, but in general terms this was the most chill episode of Re zero, and that what make it so unsettling, for evey joken and even the serius talk the have i was waiting for other shoe to drop, an that make Serius introduction even more frightening
@@AnimeSimp234 Yea of course, Re:Zero never has any filler, it's just all important lore
waiting very very patiently for ya'll to catch up to newest releases hahaha
I love how Anna was all fun and games while Sirius was speaking until she brings the kid in a chain.
Heinkel has depressed Paul vibes, except after the teleportation incident, only Rudeus survived, and Paul blames the deaths of the rest of his family on Rudeus for not trying hard enough to find them. Damn, that's a fanfic lol.
Spoilers for side content, unlikely to be adapted into the anime:
.
.
.

In the pride if story, after Wilhelm is wiped from history after his death to the white whale, Heinkel and Reinhard have a better relationship. Heinkel also defended Reinhard from Wilhelm’s accusations too. Why he ended up changing is hinted at, but I won’t go further simply cuz the side content didn’t explain it fully.
That ending scene was so horrifying it gave me chills. Seeing Subaru and the crowd smile tears of joy clapping as this poor kid is dropped from the tower was so unnerving. Idk if its just me but did Subaru's smile look forced? Almost like somewhere in there he was trying to fight the spell and was deeply horrified watching what was happening.
After Returning by Death and hearing Subaru say "I feel sick" is pretty fitting for the feeling he must be going through. Not only has he just RBD for the first time in a year, but that whole ordeal of being under a trance must feel sooo violating. His pose of wrapping his arms around himself to hug himself is usually a pretty big sign of trauma connected to being violated.
Being made to do, say and feel things you wouldn't normally do against your will. Sickening.
Welp, this definitely was the ultimate welcome back to trauma with Re:Zero
Our thoughts are the same. Subaru wants to fight but can't because he has been affected by the magic of the witch of wrath
@@PrastoooO *sin archbishop of wrath*
But yeeah, that must be such a sickening feeling to be forcefully taken against your will. Subaru just can never take a break from suffering
Who said they were tears of joy?
With eyes being regarded as the door/window to the soul, I actually viewed it as the only genuine reaction of the people in the crowd.
Actually tears of utter terror and fear, while unable to look away from the brutal humiliation, torture and murder of a child, all the while clapping and chearing it on...
@@MrFox-xr9cc nah, they were def happy. Probably cuz Sirius was so happy herself. But that’s why Subaru was so disturbed afterwards. Cuz she manipulated their emotions, almost like mob mentality. This was a case of mental and emotional torture over physical.
@@ma.2089
I get it was torture, hence the part about me saying "tears of utter terror and fear".
I do believe she can control what people say and do, but i don't know if she can ultimately control what people THINK.
At least we don't know that yet.
Especially because these smiles look so desperately forced and we know that the Archbishops are degenerate in the worst ways possible. So letting her victims know and feel, what is happening, while they are acting against their own will, would make sense to me.
So until we have any other proof I will keep with the tears of terror.
In case you are wondering, "Wafuu" literally just means Japanese style.
Of course, the residents of this world doesn't know what Japan is, so they just use the term without knowing the meaning.
Rewatching the old seasons after new content is great because they hint at so much stuff. All of Betelgeuse ramblings make sense with the context of his past, and when Emilia kills him in one loop, a tear falls down her cheek because subconsciously, she knows who he is. Learning how contracts work and seeing them accidently made early on. Knowing Roswaal was responsible for everything and how often he goes out to set things up, also probing Subaru for info he shouldn't know unless... A lot of stuff being mentioned before it becomes relevant.
I can't wait to rewatch after S3 to see what else was set up. Already in this episode, I see potential connections.
Rewatching this with the reaction, I realised Priscilla is doing exactly the same thing she did in season 1, when she brought Subaru to the Royal Selection ... except instead of Subaru this time the bumbling fool that sows chaos is Heinkel...
Wishing him to get well soon.
But I'm relieved that those stupid rumours were wrong.
I hate to break it to you, but those ‘stupid rumors’ weren’t wrong. Ben’s not getting better he’s dead, and the stalker has taken over. The recent posts are just part of the cover-up to make it seem like everything’s okay, but the truth is much darker. I know it’s hard to accept, but people need to realize what’s really going on here.
@@Everythingmaxxer🤦How old are you?
@@Everythingmaxxer Yeah yeah Stalker will transform into Ben. Let me guess Stalker is an alien from Delulu planet.
Please find a better job you are just making it difficult for others and probably living a miserable life yourself.
@@dheerajvukyam1405 You can make jokes about the stalker being an alien or say I’m living a miserable life, but that doesn’t change the reality of what’s happening. Ben isn’t getting better-he’s dead, and the stalker has taken over. The recent posts are just part of the plan to make it look like everything is fine, but it’s not. The truth is darker than people want to admit, and the more you laugh it off, the easier it is for them to keep things hidden.
I’m not here to convince everyone, but people deserve to know what’s really going on. If you want to keep dismissing it, that’s your choice, but don’t say I didn’t try to warn you about the truth behind this cover-up.
Everythingmaxxer, this isn't the first time that ben had an episode, by your logic, the current ben is a previous stalker that has taken over the original ben and now this ben has been replaced by another stalker.
Are you seeing how silly that sounds? Do you think every stalker has superpowers that let them turn into ben?
How long are you going to cling to your fantasy ? That might have worked on some people before, but they have already made a statement officially.
Calling Hector of Melancholy “Devil” was a subtile error in s2, the corret term would be Warlock, that is the male counterpart of term Witch
It’s both. It’s like comparing demon and ogre. In Japan it’s like the same. They refer to him in actuality as a warlock, but the way it pertains to Roswaal is him taking on an inhuman position.
@@ma.2089 it's not both, Majin is just the male version of Majou just a Male Witch. There is no indication that Majin was being used as an insult and it's not unlike "devil"/"demon" in English, Japanese Majin is not commonly used as an insult. The way it brakes done in Japanese is Ma "magic, evil" and Jou "woman"/Jin "man", it sometimes depending on the usage can mean "Devil" or "Evil Spirit" but it's not the usage in Re:Zero at all.
Witch is a gender neutral term both men and women are Witches, there is a difference in name in Japanese. But in English witch only became a woman-only term due to more recent media like Harry Potter.
As an anime only, I am extremely hype for this arc. I loved the slow build up of tension. From the moment Regulus showed up on the street, something immediately felt off to me. I love Regulus. But him appearing anywhere is almost never good. The worst part is, we as the audience know how dangerous and powerful he is. But none of the characters do. Well, Emilia technically knows from when he showed up in her past. But she seemingly doesn't remember him. It must feel so awful for Subaru. Having a year of relative peace and quiet. Only to suddenly be thrown back into the horror of death. And you guys are definitely right. Subaru usually goes back a few days beforehand. Hours has probably been the least amount of time he's gone back like when he tried to save Rem at the beginning of S2. But he only seems to have gone back 10-20 minutes at best this time
Something I immediately noticed was Sirius has the same last name as Petelgeuse. I only picked up on it because our Sloth boy said his full name constantly when introducing himself to Subaru. So it definitely stuck out to me. Whether she's related to him or worshiped/loved him, I don't know. But something's off. And she has a very similar eye color to Emilia and Fortuna. Her ears look very sharp under the bandages. I wonder if she's an elf as well.
Al (Priscilla's knight) is an extremely important character who got some of his scenes cut from season 1. I hope they do him justice in this arc
Yeah honestly I'm wondering when they would bring up to that deleted scene since it's such an important information, maybe in season 4 or 5 ? They must bring it during Arc 8 at least
@@dokkino7105they might during his part in this arc. But that would only inform the audience, as Subaru isn't around at that time
@@dokkino7105 they’re probably going to treat it like a crazy reveal in this season. Or the next. Or the next. They’ll do it eventually.
I really hope so cause it could seem like an asspull to anime onlies since al hasn’t been sus whatsoever at this point
@wisefelipe
Well there is a few moments that they are in proximity of each other. So they could discuss it themselves at one of those points.
rewatching this reaction mashup again
For LN fans, that night interaction between Subaru and Wilhelm was one of the things we wanted done spot on - and they got it spot on
It’s been awhile since I’ve read arc 5 but can you remind me when wilhelm reveals that he’s been injured by his wife the whole time
@@hotox23-56 it's in this arc, we should hear it either next episode or the one after it,
Literally my favorite scene of the episode, absolutely love Wilhelm and I’m glad they’ve made all his scenes so great in an anime adaptation
@@hotox23-56 it was actually back between arc 3 and 4. But it only becomes relevant here in arc 5.
Hell yeah. I've been needing these. God I've missed hearing you speculate on my favorite series.
WE’RE SO BACK AAAAHHHH THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH IVE LOVED WATCHING YOUR REVIEWS SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW YOU GUYS REACT
Been waiting for the best ReZero reactors to watch this
I really love your in-depth discussions
Beautiful seeing you guys get over 4,900 views in 3 hours of upload deserved.
still waiting for episode 2 :')
PEAK IS BACK WITH OUR GOATED CC DISCUSSION YESSIR
JUST CLEARING UP WHY SUBARU JOINED IN ON THE FIRST LILANA SONG. it's because him and emilia have a big age gap with emilia being like 117 or something its not cuz he like them young 😭😭😭
Hey subaru, I hear you like em young. You better not ever go to sanctuary one.
Subaru mention he prefer older ones
Subaru the lolimancer
Tbf, in memory snow Subaru mentioned if Emilia was 13 he would be a criminal... 😭
Maybe I'm misremembered, but I thought he did it jokingly, not because of Emilia
He even added that Beatrice is a lot older, so he is out of her range
Ben: i love Priscilla
THAT'S MY BOY. Some love for our SO EXTRA queen
This is the message from their Patreon. You can also see it in the RUclips community post-
I cannot figure out a way to start this post, as everything I am typing feels tired, over said, another excuse and stupid.
The past few months I have been doing okay mental health wise after my Bipolar episode. After Anna and I got sick, I was hit with another wave of an episode. I haven't had the clarity to figure out the best way to convey what I am feeling because at the end of the day, I don't think that it will make sense. However, saying nothing was and is the absolute wrong answer.
When I am at the low point with my Bipolar, the only thing that I can focus on is that I am letting you down. Not meeting the schedule that I am creating for myself, and then hating myself for various different reasons. If the situation wasn't as severe as it was, I would have acted differently. When it is severe, I get to a place where it feels like saying anything will make it worse on myself. It is selfish and not fair to do that. And that is why I am writing this, even if its tired, over said, another excuse and stupid.
-Ben
Hi, It's Anna.
Thank you for reading. In the coming days I will be posting Oshi no Ko 13, MHA 20 and 21 and Kizumonogatari Part 2. After those are released, we will be working at a pace that is best for Ben, putting out things as we get them done; therefore, we are not going to make a schedule or promises that may be unable to be fulfilled. Thank you for reading Ben's words.
-Anna
This power definitely has "If I suffer, everyone else should suffer too" vibes so the stuff happening to the kid happening to everyone else under the spell makes sense. I think the tell was the clap. Right when she claps you can see everyone kind react to it and straighten up like they're at attention
Ben's hair is simply majestic
2 things worth pointing out:
The Nickname was made because most people don't know Beatrice is a spirit, so when they see Subaru bringing her to fight they got the wrong impression, hence the "little girl user"
As for Regulus, Emilia had her memories messed up by Pandora, she barely saw him during the trial and that trial was 1 year ago, so it kinda makes sense she doesn't recognize him immediately.
Beako is pretty with a Yukata, not gonna lie.
The episode's end was basically a reminder to us: This is not your usual isekai, this is Re:Zero
Regulus is also a "bad" adaptation from the novel, in the LN he was the most average dude you could think of, you wouldn't be able to point him in a crowd, but in the anime, he's a pimp so he doesn't make sense Emilia wouldn't recognize him, it's a shame, it make her look like a moron for a bit. Also Emilia got her memories back after the first trial so she remembers Pandora
@@dokkino7105His design wad already like that in the LN illustrations. It is on the Web Novel, where he had no illustration, that he was described as average looking (maybe he was in the LN too, but the illustrator kinda went crazy and ruined that lol)
1:01:36 ANNA IS COOKING! I thought the same exact thing.
they are the best
at around 36:00, idk which subs you guys had, but the translation was completely wrong here.
Subaru says something like “how much do i have to suffer” which makes him sound like a selfish prick. he actually says, “So its okay for you to trample all over others feelings?”
edit: nvm you guys had the right subs, i noticed a change later on that was made afterwards
Would be peak if you came back to bridge the gap in between seasons
I've finally caught up to your re;zero reactions, now I've just got to wait and hope you react to more episodes soon ❤
They're waiting for Part 2 so they can watch all the episodes without forgetting things
@@EpicgamerRehanPOG2000 they never say that lol, they simply taking break because of ben's mental health right know that doesn't mean we gonna get the reaction even when part 2 is release
Can’t wait for the next episode reaction! This one was great. You guys are the best Re:zero reactors ever. 10/10
It's been a full month already. Who knows, maybe Ben is rewatching ss1&2 right now 😂. Hopefully they'll come back soon.
Honestly, I'd love for them to react to every season Breaktime ep's. A lot of the questions they had in previous ss have answers in those, especially in ss3 💀💀
Nah, don't hope to much they are simply on hiatus again
9:33 You are so right Anna, the author made a post about the scene revealing that Garf simply didn’t want to hold still and volunteered to take the role
it's 2030 now, Ben is still rewatching s1&s2
Regulus’s character designer cooked too hard and and accidentally made Emilia seem like a moron
She is already one though
@@ibvbmm9889awlietyyvccShe's not at all though? She was the first one to see through Subaru twice in the first season. Initially in the mansion arc, and later in the capital. She's quite smart.
Its really funny how thats actually what happened, the whole point of Regulus' design in the novel was that he is the most average looking guy ever.
@@4notherguy he seriously looks so cool to me (but I fkin hate his entire ch of monologue like seriously that was so hard to endure)
@@ibvbmm9889awlietyyvcc I'm really wondering how they're going to adapt it since they cut most of his monologues in the anime, I really thought it was funny how we got a whole chapter of him non-stop yapping about how every single bad thing in his life was never his fault and everyone else is the problem.
I'm so glad your Re:Zero reactions are back. Makes me nostalgic haha
Anna's theory that Sirius could be Fortuna is so crazy, but the longer she went the more convinced I got!
There are two occurences where I am happy with Re Zero, when the episode comes out and when you guys do a reaction, thanks 🙏
27:30 "season 3 is just like a peaceful season where nothing bad happens" 🤣🤣
I'm so hay it's finally heree I love your reactions Peak is back!
one of my favourite re:zero reactors, love you guys and will be here next episode
I love the titles of episodes in Re:zero every title is so fitting "theatrical malice"
I love your reactions. I just hope that you guys won't try to force too many episodes into a single reaction session. I think the quality of your discussions would suffer too much. And as much as I would like to get the content as soon as possible, I would prefer to get each episode one by one.
yes its popular theory for sirius to be fortuna, the purple eye, white hair and (spoiler) elf ear, she is dead then frozen but revived by pandora coz she is compatible with wrath witch factor, but coz of the reviving its messed her mind, and the bandages is for burn damage received when she was frozen.
Was it confirmed that it’s fortuna in the wn?I read it but I don’t remember that being confirmed
It's just a theory bro@@PapiMartini
@@PapiMartini not for now
Her connection to Petelgeuse as well. And her
Spoilers:

I can only see one person's hair in this video, and he isn't in the anime.
Do we know if they'll react to Re:Zero Breaktime Season 3? This season of the chibi shorts actually has some pretty important lore and character reveals that will matter a lot in the coming seasons, so it'd be a shame if they weren't aware of them.
Liliana biting her tongue gave me Hachikuji flashbacks
That ending scene was the most I've been affected by a horror scene in Re:Zero. It created so many difficult to describe feelings in me, and those feelings lingered for quite some time. Haunting stuff.
Wrath here is the letting your emotions completely control you, not anger. The anger version of it obviously is wrath, like anger possessing you to do things you regret. But it can be any emotion and still included in the definition.
Also Subaru chose to be more greedy in arc 4 so don't assume a sin is treated as definitely a sin by the narrative. It's more a being human and balancing sins and virtues kind of theme.
Recent thought I had is that Petelgeuse hypocritically judges people for slothfulness because he was meant to take care of the witch factor but betrayed his role to fight Regulus. He's in denial about his actions and the literal sloth witch factor was his downfall so he has personal reasons to hate "sloth", though it was originally the factor not some ideology. Even relying on the witch factor in hopes that he could defend them was slothful in his mind probably. So all these factors make you realise his behaviour might not be generally applicable even if the cultists all attack like that.
We miss you, hope you’re doing alright
Yessssss I was waiting ,you guys are the best reactors especially for rezero
They're baaaackkkkk. I'm gonna have so much fun for the next 8 weeks watching and waiting for re zero!!
Its good to be back with Re:Zero. I made popcorn when I watched it on my own lol
Oh my God, you're the BEST! I autolove AutoSave
Elf ears, silver hair, purple eyes, Geuse's surname, talks about love, hides her appearance in bandages... I have absolutely no idea who this could possibly be? 🧐
No. And its definitely not fortuna
Irs pandora
you guys are really good at theory crafting and speculating! Ur reactions are awesome too, cant wait for the rest of season 3.
1:20:20 Not cheating at all ig, re zero has alot of lore that a season1 + 2 rewatch can refresh you with everything that was going on
I'm Very Fortunate Enough to see this
Welcome back ❤️
You are the only reactors besides cawcaw who I am going to watch re zero reactions of :) Amazing reaction from people who don't know source material!
Agree ! Honestly for the theories they cook up without seeing Echidnut, Aninews or breaktime content, it's amazing what they could predict, a shame the scheduling aspect is really bad so that being on Patreon isn't worth it in the long run for them, Imma stick to Cawcaw for now
@@dokkino7105 I am literally in the same boat! I was subscribed to their patreon but stopped due to their schedule even though their my favorite reactors to anything! And I am subscribed to cawcaw purely for re zero!
@@halaistair7914 My man 🤝
Sosbros and autosave..., cawcaw is too problematic of personality to watch,clickbait, gooning ..etc
@@MrTimeattacker Cawcaw is really hard to watch if you're not familiar with that type of tone I agree wholeheartedly,that's one of the reason he doesn't gain that much sub compared to others.
One thing you can't say about him thought is that he goes in depth so much into the content that watching others "casual" reaction is painful
Hannes voice actor just loves playing drunks
Hey just wanted to say of all the series you guys reacting to i think its fine to take re:zero one ep at a time when you come back no worries about catching up since this season cour is just 8 ep and then 2 months break and back in February so it can easily align as well
Each season of this show ends in such beautifully well-earned manner that makes me believe subconsciously that my man won't have to return by death anymore and next season will be slice of life fun time. And everytime I am proven wrong and traumatized. Truly a masterpiece
Spoilers :
Dw, subaru barely RBD's this arc, at least after he deals with Sirius. Which shows how much hes grown out of his mindset in season 2.
The best part about reaching Arc 5 of the web novel is that we’re almost at Arc 6.
Arc 6 is utterly peak fiction. It was so captivating that at one point I read for eight hours straight, on the edge of my seat the entire time.
I can’t wait for the next season.
Season 3 most likely adapts arc 6 as well btw! Sorry if you already knew that lol
I was waiting for your reactions, easily the best re zero reactions were from you both
WE'RE SO FREAKING BAAAAAACK!!!
So glad you guys watched after the translations were fixed
Definitely respect ur channel, It's rare to see a discussion after a reaction. 👍
ALDEBARAN 🗣
oh wow rezero is back in this channel. ty for the reaction
Hell yea, lets go. We are eating good this season
I think we’re cooked rz gang
Anna is the most sharpshooting theorist jesus fucking christ this is crazy
I'm actually kinda excited about this
with all these Sin Archbishops here, he could avoid one only to stumble into another and then find himself back at this same starting point, he puts together a plan and squad to deal with the two archbishops when finally he realizes...there's yet another one, just right there that he needs to handle! And then he needs to restart again and try to figure out what's going on and he realizes that although there's all these people around, Reinhard can only be in one place at a time and when he figures out what to do next, then all of a sudden there's another complication!
Hmm but the problem is author has no plan to give him a power up which kinda make it annoying
Atleast he can fight any one of them himself or atleast stall them enough until help arrives
very excited for their Re:Zero reactions again!
FINALLY WE'RE BACK
God I've missed this show
YESSS WE'RE BACKK

This season of Rizero is going to be amazing. By the way, I'm sorry if you've already seen it, but the last episode of Oshi no Ko is episode 13. Have you seen it? It's a pretty intense final episode, so I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction.
Just had this tought. what if the Woman that looks like Garfiel's mom is actually his mom, but she had her memories eaten by gluttony?
Just discovered your channel and love it!
Looking forward to your reactions to the next episodes!
Another fortuna-sirius connection is, we see in the trailer that she uses fire magic, which is also used by fortuna and emilia.
See, in the world of re;zero, ice magic isnt a subset of water magic, its a subset of fire magic.
I always forget about that xD
Fire Magic in Re:zero is basically heat manipulation.
@@MrFox-xr9cc exactly.
Its like, fire magic is the curse technique, ice magic would be the reverse curse technique (i dont watch jjk)
