the story is made for you to not like Subaru at those parts, the constant deaths and the craziness of the situation as a whole starts to take a toll on him mentally driving this ugliness out into the open. his actions are a result of the loneliness that the curse embodies.
@@AnubisVoid I agree , though it was more frustration for his ignorance cause he just charges without thinking or planning ahead which changes after time it like makes you not hate em but kinda dislike him especially that it's basic human reactions for a teen like him , you just relate to him and go like uuugh and like seeing him grow just makes us love him and go like YESS cuz you want him to be that hero idk at least that was my experience for season 1
Yet a lot, i mean, A LOT of people hate him for that. Dunno man. I believe that's the edge of his character when you compare him to other Isekai-theme anime protagonists.
@@tripham2697 I get it though. We love Rem because we see just how much she's willing to sacrifice for Subaru's sake, but for the majority of the arc, Subaru is too traumatized to really appreciate what Rem did for him. Also, considering Subaru legitimately loves Emilia, I would have Subaru to be more scummy if he did the typical isekai protagonist thing of creating a harem by stringing a bunch of girls along with the promise of one day returning their affections. Subaru flat out and clearly states that he loves Emilia.
yeah + it's basically the plot of the anime that he dies lol so it makes sense ^^ lots of people are going to be surprised that he won't die much in season 2 i think
I actually love Subaru as a main character. He is real to me. He suffered a lot so far and has no one to say this to. So you cant blame him for venting like that in the first episode here.
@@chrisanderson2056 No one is saying that he was right in the matter. Obviously he was in the wrong and he even knows it himself. It's just that his outburst was understandable and didn't come out from nowhere. I like him as a main character because he's so flawed and can grow from it.
You love to hate him and hate to love him at the same time but as you watch his journey and learn what his story could've been from the What Ifs... You start to admire a regular man doing his best even if he sinks low and is desperately trying to become a better person. Like someone who is naturally kind no matter what and no matter which timeline they are in... Such as sweet Emilia. He's doing it for himself and her and everyone he loves. Such an amazing story just in season 1 and season 2 and beyond only gets better
I know I feel like people are so quick to judge him on his actions and behavior when they would most likely do some of the thing Subaru did in situations. Yet people love obnoxious Naruto because he had a sad childhood and everything usually goes his way in his story.
This is from a different anime and has no correlation to the anime but whats your opinion with Rachel in Tower of God... She is very human too in my opinion, do you consider hating her or relating to her because I would do the same If I'm in Rachel shoes.... this is nothing to do with the topic this is just a survey gathering opinion for myself XD
yep cuz he is like a teen weeb who did nothing and didn't interact much with the real world , but this isekai helped him see the truth and taught him many things that made him grow up
Subaru basically became arrogant because of his victory against the mabeast. He's an extremely realistic protagonist since he keeps going from learning to be a better person to being an asshole
i don't even think it's that because he knows it was actually roswaal that came and cleaned up most of the mess, even if subaru did help make that victory possible. he *wants* to feel like he's actually accomplished something though, that's why he's latching so hard to emilia and her political endeavors and reacting harshly when others shut him down
@@MiyaoMeow588 He got cocky AND he was jealous, he clearly told Emilia that she is there thanks to him. Roswall would not do shit if Subaru did not discover the problem in the first place.
@@Fax1880 except in the episode after he expresses a bit of discomfort at the fact that "he didn't actually do anything", which Emilia assures him that that's not the case
@@Fax1880 Subaru says that he's the type of person who wants rewards equivalent to his efforts. Hence why this arc messes him up so much. He breaks a little down during the mansion arc, but it rarely lasts for more than one loop. The biggest impact he had was during the time he shut himself away from everyone and stayed in Beatrice's library, but that was more due to his fear of dying than actual mental stress. This arc though, no matter what Subaru does, he fails over and over and over, and never makes any real progress. Which is why this arc destroys him so much and also why he's overconfident at the beginning of it.
No it didn’t lol, just wait till scenes like his death to the rabbits or the most fkd up scene in the main series so far which is in chapter 15 of arc 6
@@Oboreru493 right now the LN which arc has reached? Respond with no spoilers please....wait hold up... death scene from rabbits??? (Then again this is ReZero's world so... even the smallest animal can turn out into a brutal monster) Something even worse?!? Or the scene you where talking in arc 6 was about these rabbits? Don't tell me in that arc there is something even worse!! Respond with just some yes/no, no spoilers please
Alex Matejic It’s on Arc 6 and is just about to release Volume 23, But the English Translations are on Arc 4 and are getting Volume 13 soon Though the Web Novel is nearing the end of Arc 6 and is on Chapter 79(463 of the entire series) And English translations for the Web Novel are Around Arc 6 Chapter 77
Honestly, here is how I think of Subaru. Why does everyone assume that the “Main character” has to be a good, righteous person? They are called the “Main Character” Not the “Main Good Character”. Even the word “protagonist” if you search it up is defined as the LEADING role in a play, of work of literature. In other words, the leading role does not have to BE a good guy. The reason why we all feel “iffy” about Subaru is that he is a realistic character. First, not every human when Isekaied is gonna get a “harem” or is going to be way too OP. Also, his character is realistic. He doesn’t have to be a perfect good guy. We have all done something that if we were viewed as the main character to other people, would consider us a villain. How much more Subaru? He is annoying. he is prideful. That’s the point. You are supposed to be angry with him because it is a quality we all know to be foolish. But you are also supposed to cheer him on once he realizes his mistakes and turns for the better. it’s time we stop expecting a super perfect, can-do-no-wrong main character and expect one that is a scumbag but goes from zero to hero. Heck, it could even be the other way around. A main character that is good but finds himself entering the darkness. That story line would help audiences to figure out when to realize that they are going down the dark side so depending on how well and realistically accurate it is written, it can be a helpful storyline for the audience. Either way, we can all agree Subaru changed for the better and even though he is still weak, I have researched from the manga/light novel that he does improve himself(gets more fighting techniques) even though it is a slow improvement, which again, is ALSO realistic. he doesn’t grasp things and isn’t a protégé like other anime characters. He learns like every other average human being does. Eh well, again this is an opinion, with which I back up with some logical sense. You are still free to decide for yourself whether or not you like him. Stay safe during these times and have a nice day.
@@miceatah9359 hmm it seems you are new to this world and has yet seen what type of people out there that are even more inhuman than this anime antagonist bud your simple mind might be too pure to see what the ugliness is out there waiting for you I wish you the best of luck
@@miceatah9359 lol based on your comment there, I can tell you've lived a life with little to no despair inflicted at all which is partially a good thing I hope you live a nice life but understanding Subaru as a character? not so much
Re:Zero is one of those Isekai gems that really try to fulfill the potential behind that genre. People have been talking about how the annoying Isekai cliches are just cash grabs and aren’t actually good stories which is true. I feel like this Isekai business if used properly, one can produce amazing gems and live up its full potential. Re:zero is one of them. The cliches if any are almost always used properly and the story is not predictable. You will never be able to predict it. It’s like one piece and attack on titan, where the more you go, the more questions you have. It’s good cause it keeps you engaged in the story, wanting to find out more about it. There is philosophical debates, and really intriguing, unique and understandable characters.
In the beginning when Emilia told Subaru that she was Satella, it was because she was hoping he would be afraid and run off and leave her. Subaru was slowing Emilia down in her search for the insignia. He was a burden to her because he didn't even know anything about the city he was in, not even the name. He also didn't know his way around to even start looking for her insignia and Subaru couldn't even read the language so wouldn't be able to follow directions. She stuck with him trying to be kind to him all along the way and even felt bad for lying to him later on, promising to apologize later if things worked out... Emilia is such a kind person that she just couldn't tell him to "Get lost, you're in the way." She tried to scare him off with the one thing that had always worked with everyone, but Subaru didn't even know who the witch was let alone that Emilia looked a lot like her, so she got embarrassed with how kind and understanding Subaru was being... Also, she thought he was a really dumb and helpless 12 year old that she needed to help, not knowing he was actually about to turn 18... Edit: Also need to know that Emilia may be 14 in appearance but she is mentally closer to 7 and she is physically far older......
The charm of this anime is that you start to see it with very low expectations, because it seems the typical generic isekai, but each episode you watch is more intriguing than the previous one, and surprise is a work of art, this anime is totally different from what you thought, this anime is simply spectacular and unique because it plays with your expectations, and exceeds them in all aspects.
@@qxpn9220 lol i guess u dont know yet try to read novel season 1 that you say dark is nothing on whats gonna happen on season2 Edit youll wish the mc will die since youre gonna see him suffer and suffer for unlimted amount of times emotional, physical,and even his soul everything will get tortured
@@trevusimon well, Rem said in the episode 14 "a fog is in the way and is produced by the white whale" and in that situation in episode 16. There's a fog right? It's not that hard
We told you my brother, re-zero is another level, this anime is unique and different, because it touches your insides and squeezes your emotions to the maximum, the best thing is that it is totally unpredictable, that is the magic of re-zero, guys just today July 8 the second season started, this one is crazy.
damn it! I have watched re:zero three times now and I still tear up with Rem's scene when she uses her last strength to break Subaru's chains and say Love you. Damn! BTW love all your reactions! Keep it up!
Eyyy 1- that's like a spoiler soo shh edit this out or sum 2 - Spoiler alert: well not sure if it is a spoiler... . . . . . he actually likes rem as well , which is why he suggested to run away with her but for now its emilia that is dominating the feelings at least in the anime version, plus well she rejected him aswell lol.
@@yasserrek9681 Your 2nd point is incorrect Spoilers He never truly loved Rem romantically only as a friend, the person he truly loved was Emilia, the only reason he asked Rem to runaway with her is because he thinks she's the only person he can save cause everyone else is basically dead
btw guys, subaru can state facts that will happen but he can't explain them, remember the first 3 episodes when he met the old man Rom and said didn't you die recently and he laughed at him, so yeah Subaru knows that ppl can't take him seriously without justification and that's why he didn't think about telling Rem aren't you dead or something like that
Re:zero isn't Shounen anime. It's Psychological. So, when people hate Subaru so much because his character, eerhh... i don't really understand. What do you guys expect? I think Subaru as a character is perfect for this anime
Those who hate him for his character are people re:zero isnt meant for, because to me seeing a realistic protagonist is one of the best things about re:zero.
It's been years since I watched re zero and my god it's soooo good to relive this with y'all right before season 2 comes out. I binged the reactions at 3am I even listened to the ost too haha
This was a quality reaction with excellent discussion throughout! There is somethings to both noticed now which I didn't catch until my second watching 👍
Thanks for a couple of episodes! Anyhow great discussions in that binge! Absolutely love all those in depth thoughts you gave to current situation. :D Looking forward the remaining ones!
28:23 i've always said that subaru could say that his divine protection (a power that you are born with in that world) is to watch into the future sometimes randomly. that way he could explain why he knows what will happend
It doesn’t kill him, also btw it’s not a curse, what happens is that Satella stops and rewinds time to before he said it while warning Subaru by squeezing his Heart
Its most certainly not a curse. Curses kill people. What he has is either some completely different magic or my theory is that its an authority. Perhaps the authority of pride.
Albert Wesker it’s not pride if you want to know what it is it’ll say below Subaru’s Return by Death is a power granted to him by Satella through a contract similar to what Emilia and Puck have though we don’t know how Subaru has this contract yet, and Since Satella only has the Authorities of Envy and Sloth the possibility of it being pride is debunked, and since through that contract Subaru was able to see the unseen hand despite not having The Sloth Gene shows the contract gives him access to at least some part of Satella’s Authorities, so Return by Death can be pretty confidently said to be some part of the Authority of Envy
Lol you guys would have known but you missed the line talking about being afraid of traveling with the white whale on the way. This Anime you gooooottta see every line, and even then you might not get it, but if you miss a sentence here or there it totally falls apart especially with important stuff.
This episode clarifies why she said her name was Satella so she wouldn't bother him by scaring him away. Also why she said it might trouble him if she accompanied him to the village. She's lived with this discrimination since she was born
In regards to Subaru being stuck in despair, the author releases side stories on his birthday every year. The beginning lude house scene he gets stuck dying 100+times and falling into despair all because he never accepts humility and asks for help from Reinhardt in the alleyway. So basically he only made it thru that from throwing away his pride and accepting humility.
Yes this is the time where i said "i dont want his power" that restarting over and over again just to find all this dark sh*ts, i cant stomach those corpses of your loved ones piling up, over and over and over again. Ill go crazy dang!
16:41 Do you remember how Emilia was always doing good but trying to reason that , so that the other person doesn't feel in debt to do good back to her ? She said the name Satella to him so that he would get " frightened " and not try to do good for her and to repay her. Not necessarily rightful to do that ,thats ehy even Puck said it wasn't in good taste.
Well, there are several interpretations for that, even Subaru tells us why he believe she told him that, something like "to look like crazy and so that she didn't have to take responsability for anything", and that was exactly what he was trying to apply in episode 15. Of course, that doesn't mean what he thought was correct, but it is interesting to bring that up now.
i know im late but that monster that kept killing him is puck puck has full/some knowledge of what subaru actually is which is why he kills him to fix it
You have been told about the creature in passing, Whilhelm told Subaru first time he left for Emilia that he needs to take a detour because on the shortest path there have been sightings of the White Whale, but this time Subaru took the fastest route so he can reach the manor faster before the Witch Cultists, and ... well, they ran into the White Whale.
“Subaru is going crazy.” He is not. He is pretending. He just wishes he was, and Petelguese called him out. Subaru just doesn’t want to deal with it anymore. He wants pity. He wants someone to say there was nothing he could have done. He may not be crazy, but the PTSD is real.
The thing is, when Subaru tells a person about the future i.e his/her death like what you said "I saw you die" the witch stops time and crushes the person's heart who heard about the future therefore killing the person.
Dang. You accurately described all of Subaru's faults in the episode "Self-Proclaimed Knight." For real. Except Emilia felt indebted to Subaru, but Subaru feels that she should express that gratitude for things she couldn't possibly be aware of and let him be bigger than he actually is. Not to mention in her eyes, this is a Subaru that knew everything and did everything right, one who never experienced the same kind of pain he's actually been feeling through his failed routes and the frustrating thing is that Subaru isn't able to tell her how, yet that shouldn't make him be entitled to things above himself. Hard to explain but that's basically it.
Subaru was feeling himself after helping with the maebeasts in the village and how “heroic” he was and so it lead to him being more cocky and less critical of the different situations
In the episode 15, the music of the end was awesome... and sad. It is so intense. Now, I want to see your reaction in the episode 18. Rem is the best girl. Sorry Emilia, but Rem is the best.
i think i remember subaru trying to tell amelia that she died before but he wasn't even able to say that. it after subaru fought the knight and he woke up in bed. (i could be wrong tho)
Boyyyyyssss Re:ZERO is Crazyyyy As F!ck bro lol
the story is made for you to not like Subaru at those parts, the constant deaths and the craziness of the situation as a whole starts to take a toll on him mentally driving this ugliness out into the open. his actions are a result of the loneliness that the curse embodies.

@@qxpn9220 You're so not prepared for S2. Let alone Arc 5 or Arc 6.
Sam I remember seeing a death count for Subaru, the spike it took when it was arc 6 omds, I know I’m not ready
Qxpn 9 I think arc 6 scattered to the sand is really dark
You guys have such amazing thought processes lowkey. Some of your theories have been so close to perfect ngl.
Yo finally we got the re:zero reactions I freaking love that you guys are watching this anime
Episode 15 I hear one one say "I'm not sure I want to watch this anymore" while the other says "This is some top tier quality shit". Loved it.
SO glad your watching! literally just picked this anime up too! everyones telling me to watch it
Also season 2 is coming up in a lil over a week and thats were it really picks up, its also wayyyyy better than season 1
lmaoooo. it’s so funny to see how you gradually break down as you go through these episodes 😂
RE:ZERO GETTING READY FOR SEASON 2. GO GO GO. Yeah I had a hard time watching it but it was worth! So great
Yep that thing at the end of ep 16 was the "White Whale" first mentioned in ep 15. Next 2 eps are god tier. Great reaction ! :D
Hey, no spoilers... even minor ones like this, they don't know what it is.
@@trevusimon well, Rem said in the episode 14 "a fog is in the way and is produced by the white whale" and in that situation in episode 16. There's a fog right? It's not that hard
We told you my brother, re-zero is another level, this anime is unique and different, because it touches your insides and squeezes your emotions to the maximum, the best thing is that it is totally unpredictable, that is the magic of re-zero, guys just today July 8 the second season started, this one is crazy.
Best things about Subaru is he keeps growing but also keeps going down
That's what she said.
Just because you fix one flaw doesn't mean you don't got others
37:50 it was truly "my brain is trembles" :)))
"I'm not even watching the same anime anymore!" Bruh I'm dead 😂😂
4 episodes!! YAAAASSSS thank you
Talking about the witch or Emilia doesn't determine the point of restart
damn it! I have watched re:zero three times now and I still tear up with Rem's scene when she uses her last strength to break Subaru's chains and say Love you. Damn! BTW love all your reactions! Keep it up!
Gotta give props to the voice actors man! Amazing Amazing and Amazing!
Yoo theyre so fucking wholesome, I love that theyre actually discussing it
ONE HOUR LONG LETS GOOOOOOO
mf be like: WHAT?!, subaru rejected best girl? he is a horrible protagonist
Honestly he is the best isekai protagonist i know out there
Emilia is best girl anyways
dude that hasnt happened yet, can you delete this?
That's a fuckin spoiler to them
Eyyy 1- that's like a spoiler soo shh edit this out or sum
2 - Spoiler alert: well not sure if it is a spoiler...
.
.
.
.
.
he actually likes rem as well , which is why he suggested to run away with her but for now its emilia that is dominating the feelings at least in the anime version, plus well she rejected him aswell lol.
@@yasserrek9681
Your 2nd point is incorrect
Spoilers
He never truly loved Rem romantically only as a friend, the person he truly loved was Emilia, the only reason he asked Rem to runaway with her is because he thinks she's the only person he can save cause everyone else is basically dead
29:35 the problem with that is that he has to explain how he knows. And if he tries to explain he can’t. If not who will believe him
Idk if this was answered yet but the voice when subaru freezes is puck talking about emilia
btw guys, subaru can state facts that will happen but he can't explain them, remember the first 3 episodes when he met the old man Rom and said didn't you die recently and he laughed at him, so yeah Subaru knows that ppl can't take him seriously without justification and that's why he didn't think about telling Rem aren't you dead or something like that
Ayy thanks for this.❤
Re:zero isn't Shounen anime. It's Psychological. So, when people hate Subaru so much because his character, eerhh... i don't really understand. What do you guys expect? I think Subaru as a character is perfect for this anime
Those who hate him for his character are people re:zero isnt meant for, because to me seeing a realistic protagonist is one of the best things about re:zero.
@@milosradulovic8422 I like him cause he's human, he didn't go to another world as a slime and resists damn near everything.
It's been years since I watched re zero and my god it's soooo good to relive this with y'all right before season 2 comes out. I binged the reactions at 3am I even listened to the ost too haha
How do u know bro?
This was a quality reaction with excellent discussion throughout! There is somethings to both noticed now which I didn't catch until my second watching 👍
I’ve been waiting for you guys to get to ep 15 lmao too crazy man!
Thanks for a couple of episodes!
Anyhow great discussions in that binge! Absolutely love all those in depth thoughts you gave to current situation. :D
Looking forward the remaining ones!
28:23 i've always said that subaru could say that his divine protection (a power that you are born with in that world) is to watch into the future sometimes randomly. that way he could explain why he knows what will happend
Well... that wouldn't work with Crush you know?
@@reguluscorneas1366 i know, but it would with the rest of the people
@@flugel5554 that's fair
Is there even a DP like that though? People would know about it right? Besides, ANY attempt to reveal RBD ends in death. Satella knows...
I'm really glad you're liking Re:Zero. This show is fvking awesome.
If Subaru has the intent to tell someone about something that happened he will die. The curse sees his intent and kills him
It doesn’t kill him, also btw it’s not a curse, what happens is that Satella stops and rewinds time to before he said it while warning Subaru by squeezing his Heart
Its most certainly not a curse. Curses kill people. What he has is either some completely different magic or my theory is that its an authority. Perhaps the authority of pride.
Albert Wesker it’s not pride if you want to know what it is it’ll say below
Subaru’s Return by Death is a power granted to him by Satella through a contract similar to what Emilia and Puck have though we don’t know how Subaru has this contract yet, and Since Satella only has the Authorities of Envy and Sloth the possibility of it being pride is debunked, and since through that contract Subaru was able to see the unseen hand despite not having The Sloth Gene shows the contract gives him access to at least some part of Satella’s Authorities, so Return by Death can be pretty confidently said to be some part of the Authority of Envy
It also kills the person he intends to tell i.e Emilia
Lol you guys would have known but you missed the line talking about being afraid of traveling with the white whale on the way. This Anime you gooooottta see every line, and even then you might not get it, but if you miss a sentence here or there it totally falls apart especially with important stuff.
good vid as always, keep it going.
This episode clarifies why she said her name was Satella so she wouldn't bother him by scaring him away. Also why she said it might trouble him if she accompanied him to the village. She's lived with this discrimination since she was born
I love their reaction when Subaru lost his head, it never gets old.
That's why I love this anime beacuse the MC isn't just perfect and yeah this is nothing I want more
In regards to Subaru being stuck in despair, the author releases side stories on his birthday every year. The beginning lude house scene he gets stuck dying 100+times and falling into despair all because he never accepts humility and asks for help from Reinhardt in the alleyway. So basically he only made it thru that from throwing away his pride and accepting humility.
love the thougt and discusion, keep it up
I love how you two theorize about the story it show that you are really into the show.
41:50 that’s the same face I made but it was stuck alot longer, no cap
when you guys watched episode 15 I was like welcome to suffering
man you guys need to watch season 1 as fast as possible because season 2 is hell of a ride
Season 2 gonna be lit
Omg the fucking pauses are killing me
Yes this is the time where i said "i dont want his power" that restarting over and over again just to find all this dark sh*ts, i cant stomach those corpses of your loved ones piling up, over and over and over again. Ill go crazy dang!
Wow nice reaction!
It only gets better from here!
By far Re:Zero is the most mindblowing anime I've ever seen. It's emotional and shocking at the same time. Great react video as usual!
Damn finally. 🙌 Was waiting for this for a long time 😂😂
16:41 Do you remember how Emilia was always doing good but trying to reason that , so that the other person doesn't feel in debt to do good back to her ? She said the name Satella to him so that he would get " frightened " and not try to do good for her and to repay her. Not necessarily rightful to do that ,thats ehy even Puck said it wasn't in good taste.
Well, there are several interpretations for that, even Subaru tells us why he believe she told him that, something like "to look like crazy and so that she didn't have to take responsability for anything", and that was exactly what he was trying to apply in episode 15. Of course, that doesn't mean what he thought was correct, but it is interesting to bring that up now.
He is the best mc out there him and lelouch are the goat of the G
Great reaction again
The last beast was the wite balane that ws mentionned in the previous ep
And i al waiting for the reaction of ep 18 ^^
Love the long reactions 💯
i know im late but that monster that kept killing him is puck
puck has full/some knowledge of what subaru actually is which is why he kills him to fix it
Steph: Wow he's finally doing what I would have done.
Priscilla:*shows her foot* Lick it.
Steph: WHaT tHE heLL..
XD
The wolf like character is Puck gone berserk due to Emilias death.. shes also the one that freezez the whole castle on previous episode.
Good reaction + commentary.
The suffering this young man goes through it's all worth it in the end great writing.
now I gotta time travel into next week because these reactions are too good.
You have been told about the creature in passing, Whilhelm told Subaru first time he left for Emilia that he needs to take a detour because on the shortest path there have been sightings of the White Whale, but this time Subaru took the fastest route so he can reach the manor faster before the Witch Cultists, and ... well, they ran into the White Whale.
i finished watching this anime yesterday and MAN was THIS the darkest and deepest part of the story
Nothing happened yet, this is basically just the prologue. In other words, all you saw was just a taste test of the Novel.
@@parhelionhalo It does not matter if it's the prologue, This is already the third arc of six.
29:49 yoooooo in all my time rewatching I never thought of that....now I feel like midoriya when he realized he had legs
If he writh that and anyone read it, dead for sure, like what happend on episode 17
that was Puck and daughter emilia
“Subaru is going crazy.” He is not. He is pretending. He just wishes he was, and Petelguese called him out. Subaru just doesn’t want to deal with it anymore. He wants pity. He wants someone to say there was nothing he could have done. He may not be crazy, but the PTSD is real.
The thing is, when Subaru tells a person about the future i.e his/her death like what you said "I saw you die" the witch stops time and crushes the person's heart who heard about the future therefore killing the person.
I love your reactions hehe
Dang. You accurately described all of Subaru's faults in the episode "Self-Proclaimed Knight." For real. Except Emilia felt indebted to Subaru, but Subaru feels that she should express that gratitude for things she couldn't possibly be aware of and let him be bigger than he actually is. Not to mention in her eyes, this is a Subaru that knew everything and did everything right, one who never experienced the same kind of pain he's actually been feeling through his failed routes and the frustrating thing is that Subaru isn't able to tell her how, yet that shouldn't make him be entitled to things above himself. Hard to explain but that's basically it.
That's a great way to contrast it.
Yooo subaru is one of the most realistic characters bro
Subaru was feeling himself after helping with the maebeasts in the village and how “heroic” he was and so it lead to him being more cocky and less critical of the different situations
He'll become the best main character ever because of enduring so much mental trauma. He'll look death in the face with a smile.
Nope, Subaru only becomes more fearful of death later on
yup we made it, you guys got to the part *EVERYONE* wanted you to see
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UUUPPPP
In the episode 15, the music of the end was awesome... and sad. It is so intense.
Now, I want to see your reaction in the episode 18.
Rem is the best girl. Sorry Emilia, but Rem is the best.
@@Nik-md4to Emilia's only bestgirl cuz of "Who's Rem?"
Man I wasn't lying about this show. It literally only gets better in all aspects that you've seen so far.
i think i remember subaru trying to tell amelia that she died before but he wasn't even able to say that.
it after subaru fought the knight and he woke up in bed. (i could be wrong tho)
The voice when Subaru froze and that big monster when he got beheaded were both Puck.
What’s funny belz is this just the beginning it gets MUCH darker
The penalty comes from intent. If his intent is to talk about his power, the penalty still comes.
I found out recently Ram is said like "Rahm".
