@@artorias9893 first of all loving somebody only because they are useful is fucking disgusting and second the reason why Subaru loves emilia is because at first it was a crush but then she was the only thing that wasn't FUCKING KILLING HIM and treated him the same in every loop ofc he forgave her but he didnt kill her
@@evxlyvn THATS NOT THE ONLY FUCKING REASON WHY I LIKE REM MORE. 1st of all of your job was to protect a successor of the throne and some random guy showed up out of nowhere and was acting sus wouldn’t you want him out of the picture? Second it’s not that’s she’s more useful it’s that she’s always by Subarus side during 99% of arcs 2-3 she’s there and she would definitely be in 4-6 if she was awake. Plus in those arcs we see how desperate Subaru is to save her. 3rd why do you think Rem is in basically every top 10 waifu list? Like come on she’s the obvious choice. Subaru only likes Emilia because she’s the first hot bitch he ran into. Argue with me all you want my opinion will never change unless the writers ruin Rem later doesn’t the line which isn’t likely.
You ever had both animals ??? Dogs are more clingy and more likely to give you a tornado of love. While cats are calmer and even tho they love you, they act like mythical bitches
I'm so glad you bought up the fact that the love Subaru and Rem have for each other is not necessarily romantic love because that is very often overlooked nowadays. It's either you "love" someone or you don't. People never consider the other forms of love that exist. Which is also why I'm not necessarily fond of the "but I love Emilia" meme because of course he does and I'm glad he said that because he's honest because that's what their relationship is primarily based on. It would have been a dick move to lie to himself and to Rem that he didn't love Emilia and the fact that him saying doesn't affect their relationship is wonderful.
Except... Subaru does love Rem romantically. In episode 2, season 2 (minor spoilers) he says to Emilia "Rem is equally as important to me as you are". And this line was even toned down in the anime. IIRC, Subaru says in the WN "I love Rem just as much as I love you" A cut scene from season one even had him and Rem promising to get married if Emilia was comfortable with polygamy. And just everything he does after the start of season 2 (in the WN) shows just how much he loves not only Emilia but also Rem.
@@matt.w9220 They cut the polygamy scenes from the anime because polygamy ain't gonna happen. And its Emilia choice whether she is Okay with rem being subs Second wife. (Also, the WN isn't canon to the anime) And if u aren't aware of Arc 6 allow me to spoil it for u.. Emilia gets jealous when Subaru shows interest in other girls and she even challenged Rem in arc 6 chapter 2.
@@matt.w9220 @akUmu Rina wait, what? cut scene? i can swear that i have seen that in the anime wtf? did they actually cut it? then where the fuck i have seen it. i didn't read the manga or the ln
@@markallieu7097 What did Emelia do in the 2nd season for people to declare her as better? I mean I started watching ReZero yesterday and finished the 1st half of 2nd season and I'm unable to decide why Emelia is better. Well, I might be wrong but other than Subaru calling her AMAZING, in what other aspects people find her amazing? No hate, just curious.
I'm rewatching Re:Zero because of the quarantine and finished Episode 18 yesterday. It delivered a the right message at the right time; in other words, I cried. We all need a Rem in our lives.
it could have been anyone tbh. If the writer had decided to switch the sister color palette, it would be RAM who would be the best girl while Rem would gush over Rosswaal.
Wasn't the point of the video to show that people are more instinctual rather than logic? Why they would prefer to win over a challenging girl rather than one that was good and loved them from the beginning. This just proves Emilia fans are smarter, being able to look past that(or simply not looking at the story from the mc's view, like how the video described it).
In my opinion, the other massive reason why people love her is just the purity and devotion of her love. From what I've observed, anime girls tend to be more upfront with their feelings wearing them on their sleeves or sneaking it in a lot of subtexts. So, Rem's confession to Subaru is a sweet and heartwarming moment as she details not only her undying love for him but even the little details of their future together as a married couple. The latter could easily be interpreted as creepy, but she describes it in a way that cares for Subaru's well-being, staying with him and comforting him even after the kids grow old and rebellious. Deep down inside, we all feel lonely and would love to be pampered and told by a beautiful woman that she'll be there for us whenever we hit the deep end. It's more than just looks or sex, it's a deep camaraderie, that sense of support that only someone who truly loves you with all the fiber of their being can give you. And to me, that's what Rem represents, making it a sincere and beautiful expression. And when you consider that Subaru is a teen Otaku who's antisocial, and introvert, etc, it's hard not to relate. And godammit, Subaru earned it after saving her from herself and all the hardships he went through to keep her alive. We all want a Rem in our lives.
@@colors8784I always only see one reason why people hate rem They hate rem because Rem killed Subaru,can't you have a better excuse?If you have other excuse I will love Emilia more than Rem
Let's solve the Rezero best girl issue right here. Right now. They're all best girl. But Rem is great. More people need to see Rezero, both sub and dub are incredible.
I just wanna point out that Subaru does love Rem romantically. In the light novel and the second episode of season two (albeit more implied), he wants to wife both Emilia and Rem. Now, while I think it's a bit scummy of him, the guy goes through so much crap. He's willing to do so much for the both of them that I definitely think he'd be able to love them both equally. We've argued for who's best girl when, in fact, Subaru thought outside of the box and said, "Why not both?!"
Rem is basically Lagunica's version of Subaru. She sees herself as weak and inadequate just like he does. Subaru is significantly weaker then Rem but when he is surrounded by darkness, he still does not hesitate to reach out to those in need. This is what Rem feels she has failed to do in the past. That is why Rem loves him so much. I honestly think Subaru truly loves Rem. Emilia is his infatuation. His quest. Rem is his strength.
Finally somebody said my words. From the very first episode, emilia was nothing but Subaru's obsession, infatuation. He wanted to show himself as a hero in front of her. But with Rem around, Subaru can be his real self. Rem and Subaru's relation grew up slowly, much matured than that with the half-elf
Re zero season 2 episode 2 Emilia: She's important to you isn't she? Subaru: She is! Super important! As important to me as you are! me: how ambitious...
There was a scene they cut out of the anime in season 1 where Subaru admits that he has some feelings for Rem so Rem offers to be his second wife. So, Subaru agrees to marry her if Emilia is okay with polygamy.
I love rem for her earnest attitude. Sure she generally keeps to herself but she feels and cares deeply for others even to strangers(to a exstent) and as she opened up to subaru you saw more of that. And with each interaction (though she may troll sometimes) she is focused on all aspects of the people she meets in order to decide if there trustworthy. She grow slowly but surely and us viewers felt that with each bit of growth. Sure emilea is great and all( she must be protected) I don't feel the same way towards her development/personality. That doesn't take away from her though in fact I like her quite a bit, but rem for me is best wife because rem x Subaru relationships is just so honest and natural.
Ikr.. I prefer the natural love that happens overtime "Rem" over the cliche and unrealistic "love at first sight and nothing else to go off of it. *cough cough Emilia*"
Personally i believe its a matter of how love manifests, in Subaru's case when he met Emilia he was stricken by her and perhaps may have not even known why at first, but her simple act of kindness clinged to him even though he barely knew her, and I myself have found myself in a similar scenario (but the person wouldn't be able to accept my feelings so i had to keep to myself) but in the case of Rem it is the simple fact of she grew to love Subaru not from the surface, the face he throws out and shows everyone, rather she grew to love Subaru on a deeper level, as she began to understand him as a person and became "Demonically Inspired" by her actions. Both scenarios genuinely could happen and love will creep up on you before you even realize it is there in the first place Warning, this is coming from a guy who's been stuck as a silent observer who has never been in a relationship.
To add a bit more to my comment Subaru originally fell in love with the idea of Emilia, from the brief time they spent together, however over time he also fell in love with the person she was as a whole, which resulted in his undying love for her. I'd say that he also loves Rem, but in a different sense. Rem is you undeniably best friend who pulls you up when your down, and when their down you'd do the same, Rem is the kind of person who will stick by you through and through, but Subaru just doesn't particularly think of her as someone he could be with, not over Emilia at least, so their relationship stays platonic (also just from the brief moments of season 2 i've already come to like Emilia a lot more not more than Rem yet, but I feel that could be soon approaching)
Subaru loved Emilia from the start. Emilia was his Inspiration to save People. He fell inlove with Emilia's kind and Selfless nature. Subaru Devouted his life for Emilia and is madly in love with her. Also overtime he does love Emilia for she is as Person and not trophy. Like he viewed her in episode 13. (I like that Development) But, he fell in despair, and rem helped him with that. Which gave his courage back to save Emilia. Hence "I love Emilia". In Emilia's, She has a couple of Trust issues. But she does slowly develop feelings for him and even shows Jealousy when she shows interest in other girls. Subaru and Emilia's relationship is complicated, in the beginning Subaru fell in love with Emilia's kindness and Selflessness. He didn't Emilia as human being but more of a prize. Hence episode 13, were he state she owed him. Then that got developed he learns more about Emilia and her flaws. And who she is as person. And he still loves her and even admits he is madly in love her. (And he even called her a pain in the ass) They're bond got stronger. And Emilia is even developing feelings for subaru. But, She doesn't understand her feelings. They help each other too. Emilia does love and care for subaru. But her whole life isn't revolved around subaru. She has her own goals in her life. And wants to subaru to be by her side. Also, they get intimate with each other. Arc 4 taste of death Arc 4 Reason to believe Arc 4 Pregnancy 😂😂 Arc 5 the one you come to love one day Arc 6 Chapter 2 Emi challenge rem Arc 6 chapter 54 Emi makes subs Realize who he is Arc 6 chapter 77 Subs and EMI are intimate with each other. ;-; So yea

Ah, Rem. The diference between the two main female characters in the serie is that Emilia has a ton of potencial as a character but we have seen very little of her, while with Rem we saw almost all of it already.
nice name, as a webnovel reader, it is great- anyway, this is what people seem to forget when discussing this, potential. I would rather have Emilia over Rem 10 times out of 10. The reasons are revealing themselves as we speak, just watch season 2.
@@voltigod1285 yeah. Emilia is a "slow start" type of character with a lot of backstory and lore, that sure, her character might be as great as all web/light novel readers say, but not only tappei has admitted she is the most difficult character for him to write, but is like saying "a 7 season show is good in its first 1 -3 seasons BUt becomes REALLY good and way better starting season 4" (example. agents of shield, really good show.); some people might immediately love the "slow start" character and know its a matter of time before the character gets to shine and love the payoff the patience gave them, BUT others won't have the patience to see the "slow start" character become their favorite while time passes and while its pressence is always there, you don't really know that character until later: Like the classmate you have seen for 1 year, but have barely spoken to and you know the basics only While Rem is a more simpler character who got spotlight sooner, audience got to know most of her backstory sooner, and even saw her development affect the story sooner. Just see how she went from being "the one who hated subaru the most and would most likely kill him" to "the one who loves him the most and would die for him at the drop of the hat". which while that might still stop some from liking her (although personally she redeemed herself in my eyes with the evtns of episode 15), makes people, like me for example, find her more interesting. Rem is like the classmate that while you have known for 1 week or month, you have come to learn a lot of said classmate across that week - month Maybe my opinion of emilia will change once season 2 ends, maybe not.
@@Oboreru493 I wonder why that is? Maybe it's because Rem's currently in a coma which by the looks of things may be ended at the end of Arc 6 (god I hope so)
@@arondebbarma9840 I mean so are rem fans honestly (not saying that you are. Also to clarify the author has stated that rem is one step away from being a yandere)
@@mr.applejuice8546 I don't get how Rem is a yandere. In the light novel she tells Subaru she'd be happy being his second wife... but a real yandere (think of Yuno Gasai) would never be okay with that. She would want to possess her lover and be her lover's only one.
Me : watching first few episodes of re zero season 1 Also me : wait why do people love rem so much? She literally killed subaru!! Do they love her because of her appearance? Me : watches re:zero season 1 final episode. Also me : I love rem.
TO put it simple Rem has one of those personalities that a lot of guys like in a women, she is cute, sweet, kind, has a lovely voice, open hearted, considerate and loveable.
Rem and Subaru have the best character growth in the entirety of season 1, the Anime fails to capture what truly makes Emelia so special. We are left with a "buh she was nice tew me", and awkward moments between the two. Where Rem and Subaru actually become something more than a cliche, which makes the ultimate "I love Emelia" feel like a punch to the gut. I bet season 2 will help develop Emelias character into something more than a love cliche, but seeing them together, just doesn't have the same spark or chemistry that Rem'baru has. I havn't read the Light Novels so I am going to give the benefit of the doubt that most of this comes down to the limitations of Anime. Where even if there is a strong Rem'Baru case, there is also an actual case for Emelia as well.
@@voltigod1285 You think its important to read the manga from the beginning to understand Emilia and Rems relationship better? I jist finished season one. I might pick up the manga.
"Subaru doesn't love Rem romantically" Except... Subaru does love Rem romantically. In episode 2, season 2 (minor spoilers) he says to Emilia "Rem is equally as important to me as you are". And this line was even toned down in the anime. IIRC, Subaru says in the WN "I love Rem just as much as I love you" A cut scene from season one even had him and Rem promising to get married if Emilia was comfortable with polygamy. And everything he does after the start of season 2 (in the WN) shows just how much he romantically loves not only Emilia but also Rem and although he even kinda beats himself up for choosing the harem route, he never avers about his choice.
@@pomegranate4179 No, but he wants to. In the lust IF story he had a harem with Rem, Emilia, Petra (*police sirens*), Felt (*police sirens intensify*) and all the other royal selection candidates for some reason. But the IF stories are basically author-made fan-fictions, that aren't cannon at all, they only show what would have happened if Subaru chose a different path. Also the lust IF is the worst IF story for a reason, everything felt so out of character for them.
I would say what I love about Rem is that she's never trying to point negatives aspects like Ram does (I mean after episode 7). She's never egocentric, and always pure, protective, attractive. She hacked my brain ngl.
When i read the title i thought you meant R.E.M the band. I'm going to be straight with you, i haven't watched that much in the way of anime but i trust you so imma give this video a like and add this show to my watchlist.
I think it's mainly because how Re-Zero is designed to make people self-insert themselves into the protoganist. So Rem's love for Subaru makes people feel affectioned by her, while Emilia's non-romantic attitude towards him makes people feel nothing at all.
@Yandere chan How is he a simp?, If he's a simp then why did he use Emilia at the royal selection?, shouldn't that be the other way around?, also, using Rem fans logic, isn't Rem even more of a simp than Subaru?, like she's so desperate for any type of attention from him. Ever thought that the people who call Subaru a simp have the same disgusting mindset that he had at the royal selection?, ironic isn't it?, Emilia liked Subaru in the first season, in fact she was broken and depressed because of the bs Subaru did. Why i don't like Rem?, well i don't like how much screen time she got with no growth and character development whatsoever and her whole character revolves around Subaru and following him around, she was obsessed with her sister and now she's obsessed with Subaru too?, great character development. She's so desperate for his d*ck to the point she asked him to be his second wife, that goes against the character development that she supposedly got, it's like she didn't heve any in first place. She manipulated Subaru while he's in tears and played with his feelings after the whale fight and acted dead just to get a confession. in the side stories she was creeping on Subaru while he's sleeping and almost sexually assaulted him, tried to drug him and drink his saliva, i don't like how she fell in love with Subaru in a span of one day when she hated his guts just a day earlier like even Subaru fell in love with Emilia at the lap pillow scene after around a month and he didn't hate her like the the case with Rem, i don't like how she killed Subaru without a reason and just because he smelled bad when literally Beako knew about that and she didn't do any thing for him and even Emilia called her out and asked her why she killed Subaru and Rem literally had no which result on Emilia leaving the mansion and destroying her dream and Roswell's as well, like literally no one asked to do anything but she went and murdered him. Rem is literally the weakest written character in the series and she doesn't even come close to of the other characters and people like because she confessed and she even ruined that by asking Subaru to be his second wife. Oh and btw Rem doesn't like Emilia and called her a half devil.
@Yandere chan nah, more like i hate her fandom that try to defend every single thing she does like she's some type of angle when she's full of bs. not sure if you read my comment but Subaru fell in love at the lap pillow scene like i said before, means it took him around a month, i really figured this out while watching the anime but you can go and read this scene in the LN where is it says that Subaru thought he fell in love before but when this happened he truly fell for her and knew at this time what falling for someone means plus Subaru didn't hate Emilia and suddenly just turned out to love her like Rem in one day. would you actually manipulate people you love to force a confession out of them?, don't give me that "excuse" that she wanted to know his feeling like she's justified to do it in such a scummy way, she couldn't ask him about his feeling?, why did she have to manipulate him for that?, "There a lot of people would do the trick in her position" i mean there's is a lot of scummy people like Rem out there that might do it, you know that what she did is wrong and what you said doesn't make it any better right?
I like how you can make a video talking about Rem is good without trashing on Emilia. Its almost as if both are good characters. Still on team Emila but appreciate it as was a former team Rem fan.
I think what made him change is the fact that... He never actually changed...he was on Emilia's side to begin with.. A true Rem fan will always be a Rem fan.
She's powerful, mysterious, could be either a great ally or opponent, shares my thirst for knowledge, is cute, but also lonely... Like most of us weebs...
@@edi9892 she's the weakest of the witches, as mysterious as any character, definitively an opponent 3/4 times, and an ally (not a friend or something else that is close) the remaining 1/4, shares your thirst for knowledge (that most weebs don't have), is cute and lonely like at least 5 other re:zero characters and definitively not like most of us weebs (the cute part)
Well basically she built back up Subaru when he gave up on himself in the first season. No one else really had a chance to do much but since she....SPOILERS Is going to be in a coma for the next couple of arcs then others will show alot of potential. EMILIA is a good character but since I am a light novel reader I know what will happen mostly this season and I still choose Rem, I just like Rem the most and second is Beatrice who will have alot of screen time this season also if the anime goes the Light novel route.
Yeah Emilia gets alot of growth in the web novels, but she's still kinda eh.. compared to Rem. But that's just my personal opinion after reading up through arc 6.
@@Ailana10791 I so wanna make an argument against this but fuck it's how you feel and none of what I can say would be convincing anyway Emilia is best girl for me and to me her relationship with Subaru is just adorable
Aurora Jolteon Emilia is not Eh, without Subaru Rem has basically nothing, Emilia even before her character arc was still a much better written character than Rem was

Re zero season 2 episode 2 Emilia :She's important to you isn't she? Subaru :she is! Super important! As important to me as you are! Me: Subaru loves both! And fans don't think Emilia always win.
I’ve just heard about the anime a few days ago and bing watch the whole first season in two days. I love rem and how they portray her story. i just wish i watched this anime long before.
@Ambridge Of course, I love Rem not because of what you said, but rather in spite of it all. The fact that Rem wasn't involved in the events of the fourth and fifth arcs naturally made me suffer. But still, in the sixth arc, even if only for a short time, she was able to communicate with her hero, to save him again. Rem was removed from the story for a long time, but Subaru remembered her, missed her, wanted to see her again. And she had been his support all this time, he had been inspired by her, he had aspired to be the hero she saw in him. So it's not as bad as you describe.
@Ambridge Subaru always remembered Rem. The moment he spoke to Emilia in the tomb, he was thinking of how Rem had supported him. In the moment of the confrontation with Garfiel Subaru and the awakening of the laziness factor in him, he remembered her. He visited her every night and talked to her. He jumped at the first opportunity to save her. And in the Hall of Memories, when Subaru no longer remembered Rem, she - I guess it was something like her soul-saved him from Louis. And now Rem was finally awake. And she and Subaru are now together, which personally pleases me very much. Although, maybe the author will merge the Rem in the end. But in that case, I won't forgive him. UPD: "subaru and emilia both believe they are not good for each other(not talking in romantic way) because they both dont want to burden each other(until emilia confesses her love and even then they probably still won't) thats what makes them the best"- this absurdity exists only in your head, there has never been anything similar on the part of Subaru, and certainly not Emilia. "and now because of how much hero he thinks he is, hes got a terrible savior complex always thinking sacrifices shouldn't be made like he even thinks about killing himself to go and save shaula or the people of vollachia" this is not the savior's complex, this is his goal, his mission, his meaning of life-using his ability to save everyone he can. And that had been a priority for him even before Rem had confessed to him, even before they had begun to trust each other. Rem only supported him on this path at the moment when he dropped his hands and was ready to turn away from it. Otherwise, if Subaru's motive was not to save everyone he cared about, but only to fall in love with Emilia - I'm sorry, in this case, this novel would not be worth a copper penny. And Rem calls him a hero not only because she is in love with him, but above all because Subaru is really her hero, because he saved her at the risk of his life, because he helped her. And, thus, Rem is not just in love with Subaru, but also feels great gratitude towards him and seeks to express it in one way or another. "and THEN got satella who's only person atm keeping him sane in his dreams"- this is no longer a matter of principle, but nevertheless, in fact, all the witches - well, except, perhaps, the Witch of Greed-helped him in one way or another at that moment, especially Minerva.
@Ambridge You're overconfident, that's your problem. You not only talk about facts, but you also express your opinion. The events in the Hall of Memories do not necessarily have to be understood as you explain them. Although, it is impossible not to agree that Rem was not fully present there. Your words about the relationship between Rem and Subaru only show that you really do not like the idea of possible love between them. In this regard, you are absolutely devoid of objectivity. I can see that the relationship between Subaru and Rem is special. That he believes in her as someone he can trust with his weakness and as someone who makes him strong. I see the relationship between Subaru and Beatrice and Emilia in a different light - he is more of a support and hope for them than they are for him. I could try to explain more, but I'm afraid you're too angry for that. After all, I have said almost nothing about Emilia yet and you've already somehow decided that I'm ignoring her relationship with Subaru and that I shouldn't read this novel. You're drunk, man. You seem to be drunk with jealousy, with the realization that people really love Rem more than Emilia. But in your madness, you guessed the truth - yes, I love Rem more than the other characters, at least most of them. I want Subaru and Rem to be together. And I don't like Emilia at all. It annoys you, I see, but should any of this change for me? No, I dooon't think so.
Gonna make this clear suburu loves rem. It is also romantic as in the novel he was considering to discuss with Emilia about loving both and he has committed suicide twice for rem’s sake, and even if he ran away with her, he had a loving family with her and actually had a happy ending.
For me its just the herd movement. Everyone says Rem is best girl. She is best girl. Most of her traits you can find in other waifus as well but she''s just become so iconic that when I think of waifu, Rem just appears in my head and even when she isn't my favourite character. She''s just associated with the term waifu now somehow even though there are waifus older then her (as in have existed longer) like Asuka where I associate Asuka with the face of tsundere. It's like how I associate Astolfo with being the king of femboys. There's a weird collection of character who just owns the terms for me. But again, subjective.
The idea that Emilia was positive from the start can also explain why Subaru chose Emilia over Rem, Rem was on the same level as Emilia to Subaru, but by the time Rem got to that point Emilia had already cemented herself as the girl Subaru loves.
That doesn't mean Emilia is the best girl because best girl always lose. Heroines have a plot armor. No matter what happens they will eventually end up with the MC.
The way you pieced psychology together with beautiful statements about the show and Rem made me cry a little. The one thing that I will always love about Rem is that her character in the first season of Re:Zero is so beautifully written that it's hard not to feel emotional about the things she says and does.
As a fellow Rem enthusiast, I appreciate this scientific dive into something that I kinda knew but could never really put into words. The contrast between how it started with Rem (really rough & her killing him) all the way to the point where she is sacrificing herself to save Subaru when he was captured by the witch cult. That positive growth feels even higher & better when compared to the juxtaposition of the start of their relationship. So yeah, thanks man! (it’s especially interesting to me, because I hate tsundere characters & didn’t even think of Rem as one)
“Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.” To be honest, Rem is not my favorite character of ReZero. That would be Subaru. But what I do love about her is their connection. I like how Subaru gets a kick whenever Rem is present. Though I do believe whatever Subaru feels for her is romantic all the way. I mean, there were at least two attempts to kiss her. He is aware of her as a woman, and has no problem with physical contact. Also his way of calling her "My Rem" does imply a certain connotation.
@@piyushsharma3991 Quite a few times in the novel, actually. She was first to call herself "his". The letter she left for him in Ep.14 was signed "Subaru-kun no Rem" which implies belonging and is not a conventional phrase to end a letter, as the subtitles "Your Rem" made it look like. Later Subaru adopted that when referring to her. He declared "You belong to me" in his confession. When he got mad at Carmila, he went on describing the real Rem, adding "That is my Rem. Don't you dare talk to me in my Rem's voice, with my Rem's face." And on a more funny occasion he argued with himself in Od Lagna, "And my Rem. - You mean, My Rem. - No, my Rem. - No, mine."
I really liked that you pointed out how, even though Subaru turns down Rem romantically, that doesn't mean he doesn't really love her, but just the opposite. I think (especially when it comes to fiction, and maybe even in real life too) we have these expectations that a close relationship between a guy and a girl always has to end up romantic in order to be fulfilling. But I think Subaru and Rem are a great example of how two people can have that kind of intimate trust and unconditional love for each other even apart from some kind of expected romantic payoff. And I definitely agree From Zero and Rem encouraging Subaru is the best moment from the series and one of the top anime moments overall.
@@enigma3072 explain that. Not really. He doesn’t think him being a hero not completely anyway. It helped picked him back up but it is holding him back
This explains why it's harder for people who are scared of conflicts and anger (I'm one of them) to close the distance between them and others. That gain-loss theory makes so much sense! I do feel like I can still give things to others, despite having a guarded personality (not by choice, not completely atleast). Anime has made me think about relationships even more than I usually have done in the past, and even then it was everyday. You learn so much from watching anime alone, it's mind-boggling at times! I wish society had a more positive view on anime, because I wanna see the reactions of people when they find out how deep a lot of anime series are. I might sound weird, but I wanna see them cry at stuff we anime fans usually cry at. Whenever we see Subaru struggling, the ending of AnoHana, the ending of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (that one made me feel like dying for a short while, geez..) or any other anime with those deep feels we can't help but cry at.. I wanna see how it might change how people perceive things. The whole roller coaster ride, you know? That stuff make up for a good discussion!

Can confess I love Rem. I have multiple keychains, a Rem wallet, a few illustration cards etc (no figures, _yet_). I even use her as my main in the games she appears in.
@Ambridge most likely either they fused souls or satella takes her body but erased the memories and soul of emilia (something that's going to happen to subaru as well )
Well if you read Arc 6 then......spoiler he died for her about 20+ times i would say.....and 2 nearly 3 in Arc 7. These two really need to stop dying for each other.
@@jebes909090 He would've killed himself if Puck didn't do the job. Besides, even if you don't count that, he's died for Rem the same number of times she's brutally murdered him.
Rem is a character that came on so strong she moved from a supporting role to a lead role. Emilia was displaced as the de facto heroine. Even with Rem sidelined for a large part of season 2, her performance from season 1 was enough for to retain first place anyway.
In short the reason why we love Rem is she would do anything to whom she love, she would always be there for you and even after rejected she would still love and support you
I was talking about this show once with a co-worker, and he described Ram as "red-haired Rem". I don't know if that shows how significant Rem is or how insignificant Ram is, but it was really funny to me at the time. XD
A relationship which starts out moderately negative and then improves has the advantage of clearly demonstrating up front that the affection is not superficial.
Her love is pretty superficial, she only talked about his...fingers....and how she hates his eyes unless they soften thats only part she loves about his eyes...when they soften and oh right being a hero wow what great DEEP EMOTIONAL LOVE...meanwhile subaru not only gave giant text on what Subaru loves about Emilia but also about everything about her appearance and how he will forgive her and still support her with her shortcomings, Meanwhile Rem refuses to even forgive Subaru and Subaru still hopes someone will forgive him which is clearly Emilia Subaru fetish is silver hair Emilia fetish is scary eyes like fortuna and subaru
@@peppermint3808 As someone who's been on both ends of that kind of obsession.... It's not superficial, per se, it's rather a result of having an extremely depressed lifestyle, and once something pulls you out of that state, all of this extra emotional energy you have goes directly to them. This doesn't just happen with crushes, but celebrities and other things. I don't think it's that weird to have a phase like that some point in your life, but what fewer people do is grow past that obsession, though it often evolves into a related passion, such as a love for music.
These scene is so sad I can’t watch it anymore it makes me cry every time because when I see it it makes me think about when she dies and. I can’t handle it 😭😭😭

@@evxlyvn THATS NOT THE ONLY FUCKING REASON WHY I LIKE REM MORE. 1st of all of your job was to protect a successor of the throne and some random guy showed up out of nowhere and was acting sus wouldn’t you want him out of the picture? Second it’s not that’s she’s more useful it’s that she’s always by Subarus side during 99% of arcs 2-3 she’s there and she would definitely be in 4-6 if she was awake. Plus in those arcs we see how desperate Subaru is to save her. 3rd why do you think Rem is in basically every top 10 waifu list? Like come on she’s the obvious choice. Subaru only likes Emilia because she’s the first hot bitch he ran into. Argue with me all you want my opinion will never change unless the writers ruin Rem later doesn’t the line which isn’t likely.

I'm so glad you bought up the fact that the love Subaru and Rem have for each other is not necessarily romantic love because that is very often overlooked nowadays. It's either you "love" someone or you don't. People never consider the other forms of love that exist.
Which is also why I'm not necessarily fond of the "but I love Emilia" meme because of course he does and I'm glad he said that because he's honest because that's what their relationship is primarily based on. It would have been a dick move to lie to himself and to Rem that he didn't love Emilia and the fact that him saying doesn't affect their relationship is wonderful.
So true.
Hear, hear! Also personally I think "I love Emilia" is the least spineless thing Subaru does in S1
Except... Subaru does love Rem romantically. In episode 2, season 2 (minor spoilers) he says to Emilia "Rem is equally as important to me as you are". And this line was even toned down in the anime. IIRC, Subaru says in the WN "I love Rem just as much as I love you" A cut scene from season one even had him and Rem promising to get married if Emilia was comfortable with polygamy. And just everything he does after the start of season 2 (in the WN) shows just how much he loves not only Emilia but also Rem.
@@matt.w9220 They cut the polygamy scenes from the anime because polygamy ain't gonna happen. And its Emilia choice whether she is Okay with rem being subs Second wife. (Also, the WN isn't canon to the anime) And if u aren't aware of Arc 6 allow me to spoil it for u..
Emilia gets jealous when Subaru shows interest in other girls and she even challenged Rem in arc 6 chapter 2.

it could have been anyone tbh. If the writer had decided to switch the sister color palette, it would be RAM who would be the best girl while Rem would gush over Rosswaal.
Wasn't the point of the video to show that people are more instinctual rather than logic? Why they would prefer to win over a challenging girl rather than one that was good and loved them from the beginning. This just proves Emilia fans are smarter, being able to look past that(or simply not looking at the story from the mc's view, like how the video described it).
The True and Ultimate Answer: Rem is Rem. And we love her for that.

JUSTadICE J shut it
@JUSTadICE J Dude, that joke is old just stop

Ehhh idk about that cuz Emilia is better sooo
In my opinion, the other massive reason why people love her is just the purity and devotion of her love.
From what I've observed, anime girls tend to be more upfront with their feelings wearing them on their sleeves or sneaking it in a lot of subtexts. So, Rem's confession to Subaru is a sweet and heartwarming moment as she details not only her undying love for him but even the little details of their future together as a married couple. The latter could easily be interpreted as creepy, but she describes it in a way that cares for Subaru's well-being, staying with him and comforting him even after the kids grow old and rebellious.
Deep down inside, we all feel lonely and would love to be pampered and told by a beautiful woman that she'll be there for us whenever we hit the deep end. It's more than just looks or sex, it's a deep camaraderie, that sense of support that only someone who truly loves you with all the fiber of their being can give you. And to me, that's what Rem represents, making it a sincere and beautiful expression.
And when you consider that Subaru is a teen Otaku who's antisocial, and introvert, etc, it's hard not to relate. And godammit, Subaru earned it after saving her from herself and all the hardships he went through to keep her alive.
We all want a Rem in our lives.

I just wanna point out that Subaru does love Rem romantically. In the light novel and the second episode of season two (albeit more implied), he wants to wife both Emilia and Rem. Now, while I think it's a bit scummy of him, the guy goes through so much crap. He's willing to do so much for the both of them that I definitely think he'd be able to love them both equally.
We've argued for who's best girl when, in fact, Subaru thought outside of the box and said, "Why not both?!"
Yeah. IF Emilia agrees to polygamy.

Rem is basically Lagunica's version of Subaru. She sees herself as weak and inadequate just like he does. Subaru is significantly weaker then Rem but when he is surrounded by darkness, he still does not hesitate to reach out to those in need. This is what Rem feels she has failed to do in the past. That is why Rem loves him so much. I honestly think Subaru truly loves Rem. Emilia is his infatuation. His quest. Rem is his strength.
Whos rem
Finally somebody said my words. From the very first episode, emilia was nothing but Subaru's obsession, infatuation. He wanted to show himself as a hero in front of her. But with Rem around, Subaru can be his real self. Rem and Subaru's relation grew up slowly, much matured than that with the half-elf

@@matt.w9220 The polygamy thing was cut from the LN.
I can’t believe that I was literally thinking about this exact same theory with Rem earlier and here I am watching you explain it. Man I miss Rem
I love rem for her earnest attitude. Sure she generally keeps to herself but she feels and cares deeply for others even to strangers(to a exstent) and as she opened up to subaru you saw more of that. And with each interaction (though she may troll sometimes) she is focused on all aspects of the people she meets in order to decide if there trustworthy. She grow slowly but surely and us viewers felt that with each bit of growth.
Sure emilea is great and all( she must be protected) I don't feel the same way towards her development/personality. That doesn't take away from her though in fact I like her quite a bit, but rem for me is best wife because rem x Subaru relationships is just so honest and natural.
Ikr.. I prefer the natural love that happens overtime "Rem" over the cliche and unrealistic "love at first sight and nothing else to go off of it. *cough cough Emilia*"
@@Ailana10791 it's a simple as she's the main heroine so they have to be together/in love
Personally i believe its a matter of how love manifests, in Subaru's case when he met Emilia he was stricken by her and perhaps may have not even known why at first, but her simple act of kindness clinged to him even though he barely knew her, and I myself have found myself in a similar scenario (but the person wouldn't be able to accept my feelings so i had to keep to myself) but in the case of Rem it is the simple fact of she grew to love Subaru not from the surface, the face he throws out and shows everyone, rather she grew to love Subaru on a deeper level, as she began to understand him as a person and became "Demonically Inspired" by her actions. Both scenarios genuinely could happen and love will creep up on you before you even realize it is there in the first place
Warning, this is coming from a guy who's been stuck as a silent observer who has never been in a relationship.
To add a bit more to my comment Subaru originally fell in love with the idea of Emilia, from the brief time they spent together, however over time he also fell in love with the person she was as a whole, which resulted in his undying love for her. I'd say that he also loves Rem, but in a different sense. Rem is you undeniably best friend who pulls you up when your down, and when their down you'd do the same, Rem is the kind of person who will stick by you through and through, but Subaru just doesn't particularly think of her as someone he could be with, not over Emilia at least, so their relationship stays platonic (also just from the brief moments of season 2 i've already come to like Emilia a lot more not more than Rem yet, but I feel that could be soon approaching)
Subaru loved Emilia from the start. Emilia was his Inspiration to save People. He fell inlove with Emilia's kind and Selfless nature. Subaru Devouted his life for Emilia and is madly in love with her. Also overtime he does love Emilia for she is as Person and not trophy. Like he viewed her in episode 13. (I like that Development) But, he fell in despair, and rem helped him with that. Which gave his courage back to save Emilia. Hence "I love Emilia".
In Emilia's, She has a couple of Trust issues. But she does slowly develop feelings for him and even shows Jealousy when she shows interest in other girls.
Subaru and Emilia's relationship is complicated, in the beginning Subaru fell in love with Emilia's kindness and Selflessness. He didn't Emilia as human being but more of a prize. Hence episode 13, were he state she owed him.
Then that got developed he learns more about Emilia and her flaws. And who she is as person. And he still loves her and even admits he is madly in love her. (And he even called her a pain in the ass)
They're bond got stronger. And Emilia is even developing feelings for subaru. But, She doesn't understand her feelings.
They help each other too. Emilia does love and care for subaru. But her whole life isn't revolved around subaru. She has her own goals in her life. And wants to subaru to be by her side.
Also, they get intimate with each other.

nice name, as a webnovel reader, it is great-
anyway, this is what people seem to forget when discussing this, potential. I would rather have Emilia over Rem 10 times out of 10.
The reasons are revealing themselves as we speak, just watch season 2.
@@voltigod1285 yeah.
Emilia is a "slow start" type of character with a lot of backstory and lore, that sure, her character might be as great as all web/light novel readers say, but not only tappei has admitted she is the most difficult character for him to write, but is like saying "a 7 season show is good in its first 1 -3 seasons BUt becomes REALLY good and way better starting season 4" (example. agents of shield, really good show.); some people might immediately love the "slow start" character and know its a matter of time before the character gets to shine and love the payoff the patience gave them, BUT others won't have the patience to see the "slow start" character become their favorite while time passes and while its pressence is always there, you don't really know that character until later: Like the classmate you have seen for 1 year, but have barely spoken to and you know the basics only
While Rem is a more simpler character who got spotlight sooner, audience got to know most of her backstory sooner, and even saw her development affect the story sooner. Just see how she went from being "the one who hated subaru the most and would most likely kill him" to "the one who loves him the most and would die for him at the drop of the hat". which while that might still stop some from liking her (although personally she redeemed herself in my eyes with the evtns of episode 15), makes people, like me for example, find her more interesting. Rem is like the classmate that while you have known for 1 week or month, you have come to learn a lot of said classmate across that week - month

Rem and Subaru have the best character growth in the entirety of season 1, the Anime fails to capture what truly makes Emelia so special. We are left with a "buh she was nice tew me", and awkward moments between the two. Where Rem and Subaru actually become something more than a cliche, which makes the ultimate "I love Emelia" feel like a punch to the gut. I bet season 2 will help develop Emelias character into something more than a love cliche, but seeing them together, just doesn't have the same spark or chemistry that Rem'baru has.
I havn't read the Light Novels so I am going to give the benefit of the doubt that most of this comes down to the limitations of Anime. Where even if there is a strong Rem'Baru case, there is also an actual case for Emelia as well.
Nah it's still basically a "she was nice to me." Even with all the added details from the web novel.

IIRC, Subaru says in the WN "I love Rem just as much as I love you" A cut scene from season one even had him and Rem promising to get married if Emilia was comfortable with polygamy. And everything he does after the start of season 2 (in the WN) shows just how much he romantically loves not only Emilia but also Rem and although he even kinda beats himself up for choosing the harem route, he never avers about his choice.

I think it's mainly because how Re-Zero is designed to make people self-insert themselves into the protoganist. So Rem's love for Subaru makes people feel affectioned by her, while Emilia's non-romantic attitude towards him makes people feel nothing at all.
Nothing at all

@@jebes909090 when did Emilia friend zone him tho?, and how is Subaru a simp?, because he rejected your waifu?, yeah great argument.
@Yandere chan How is he a simp?, If he's a simp then why did he use Emilia at the royal selection?, shouldn't that be the other way around?, also, using Rem fans logic, isn't Rem even more of a simp than Subaru?, like she's so desperate for any type of attention from him. Ever thought that the people who call Subaru a simp have the same disgusting mindset that he had at the royal selection?, ironic isn't it?, Emilia liked Subaru in the first season, in fact she was broken and depressed because of the bs Subaru did.
Why i don't like Rem?, well i don't like how much screen time she got with no growth and character development whatsoever and her whole character revolves around Subaru and following him around, she was obsessed with her sister and now she's obsessed with Subaru too?, great character development. She's so desperate for his d*ck to the point she asked him to be his second wife, that goes against the character development that she supposedly got, it's like she didn't heve any in first place. She manipulated Subaru while he's in tears and played with his feelings after the whale fight and acted dead just to get a confession. in the side stories she was creeping on Subaru while he's sleeping and almost sexually assaulted him, tried to drug him and drink his saliva, i don't like how she fell in love with Subaru in a span of one day when she hated his guts just a day earlier like even Subaru fell in love with Emilia at the lap pillow scene after around a month and he didn't hate her like the the case with Rem, i don't like how she killed Subaru without a reason and just because he smelled bad when literally Beako knew about that and she didn't do any thing for him and even Emilia called her out and asked her why she killed Subaru and Rem literally had no which result on Emilia leaving the mansion and destroying her dream and Roswell's as well, like literally no one asked to do anything but she went and murdered him. Rem is literally the weakest written character in the series and she doesn't even come close to of the other characters and people like because she confessed and she even ruined that by asking Subaru to be his second wife. Oh and btw Rem doesn't like Emilia and called her a half devil.
@Yandere chan nah, more like i hate her fandom that try to defend every single thing she does like she's some type of angle when she's full of bs. not sure if you read my comment but Subaru fell in love at the lap pillow scene like i said before, means it took him around a month, i really figured this out while watching the anime but you can go and read this scene in the LN where is it says that Subaru thought he fell in love before but when this happened he truly fell for her and knew at this time what falling for someone means plus Subaru didn't hate Emilia and suddenly just turned out to love her like Rem in one day. would you actually manipulate people you love to force a confession out of them?, don't give me that "excuse" that she wanted to know his feeling like she's justified to do it in such a scummy way, she couldn't ask him about his feeling?, why did she have to manipulate him for that?, "There a lot of people would do the trick in her position" i mean there's is a lot of scummy people like Rem out there that might do it, you know that what she did is wrong and what you said doesn't make it any better right?
I like how you can make a video talking about Rem is good without trashing on Emilia. Its almost as if both are good characters.
Still on team Emila but appreciate it as was a former team Rem fan.
I'm team Emilia tan
What made you switch? LN/Manga?
The fact that [SPOILER]
Rem is in a coma for the next ~10 volumes of the LN?
I think what made him change is the fact that... He never actually changed...he was on Emilia's side to begin with.. A true Rem fan will always be a Rem fan.
@@erickouhai9818 a man of culture right there
Wtf you changed from Rem to Emilia
Uhhh
I loved rem before I ever even watched the anime . I just really liked the way she looks and was just drawn to her 🤷♀️
Now do "Why People Love Echidna" 😂
She's powerful, mysterious, could be either a great ally or opponent, shares my thirst for knowledge, is cute, but also lonely... Like most of us weebs...
Because she's a Waifu material.
@@edi9892 she's the weakest of the witches, as mysterious as any character, definitively an opponent 3/4 times, and an ally (not a friend or something else that is close) the remaining 1/4, shares your thirst for knowledge (that most weebs don't have), is cute and lonely like at least 5 other re:zero characters and definitively not like most of us weebs (the cute part)

Well basically she built back up Subaru when he gave up on himself in the first season. No one else really had a chance to do much but since she....SPOILERS
Is going to be in a coma for the next couple of arcs then others will show alot of potential. EMILIA is a good character but since I am a light novel reader I know what will happen mostly this season and I still choose Rem, I just like Rem the most and second is Beatrice who will have alot of screen time this season also if the anime goes the Light novel route.
Yeah Emilia gets alot of growth in the web novels, but she's still kinda eh.. compared to Rem. But that's just my personal opinion after reading up through arc 6.
@@Ailana10791 I so wanna make an argument against this but fuck it's how you feel and none of what I can say would be convincing anyway
Emilia is best girl for me and to me her relationship with Subaru is just adorable
Aurora Jolteon Emilia is not Eh, without Subaru Rem has basically nothing, Emilia even before her character arc was still a much better written character than Rem was
@@Ailana10791 did u read arc 6 in the LN or WN? The English translation of every LN from I think volume 15 onwards isn't coming out yet😭😭
Rem will get no screen time in this season, Many Rem fans are now Emilia fans and that's pretty trash, Like you said I choose to be team Rem, I am team Rem, I prefer Rem in every way possible even with no screen time, Team Rem forever 💙😏

Maybe not but Subaru is yep

It ends.

When you read the WN and both are equally best girl (at least according to Subaru)
I agree with Subaru

Re zero season 2 episode 2
Emilia :She's important to you isn't she?
Subaru :she is! Super important! As important to me as you are!
Me: Subaru loves both! And fans don't think Emilia always win.
I’ve just heard about the anime a few days ago and bing watch the whole first season in two days. I love rem and how they portray her story. i just wish i watched this anime long before.
Bro the best scene by far is the ending of episode 15 with the snow and the sad music and Subaru getting his head cut off.
Underrated comment.
The moment she gave subaru hope and talk about their possible future, she instantly became my number one wifu.
her confession of love was PrideFul and didn't help subaru one bit she only helped his desires which is a sin
I read WN and still love Rem, even more than before.
@Ambridge Of course, I love Rem not because of what you said, but rather in spite of it all. The fact that Rem wasn't involved in the events of the fourth and fifth arcs naturally made me suffer. But still, in the sixth arc, even if only for a short time, she was able to communicate with her hero, to save him again. Rem was removed from the story for a long time, but Subaru remembered her, missed her, wanted to see her again. And she had been his support all this time, he had been inspired by her, he had aspired to be the hero she saw in him. So it's not as bad as you describe.
@Ambridge Subaru always remembered Rem. The moment he spoke to Emilia in the tomb, he was thinking of how Rem had supported him. In the moment of the confrontation with Garfiel Subaru and the awakening of the laziness factor in him, he remembered her. He visited her every night and talked to her. He jumped at the first opportunity to save her. And in the Hall of Memories, when Subaru no longer remembered Rem, she - I guess it was something like her soul-saved him from Louis. And now Rem was finally awake. And she and Subaru are now together, which personally pleases me very much. Although, maybe the author will merge the Rem in the end. But in that case, I won't forgive him.
UPD: "subaru and emilia both believe they are not good for each other(not talking in romantic way) because they both dont want to burden each other(until emilia confesses her love and even then they probably still won't) thats what makes them the best"- this absurdity exists only in your head, there has never been anything similar on the part of Subaru, and certainly not Emilia. "and now because of how much hero he thinks he is, hes got a terrible savior complex always thinking sacrifices shouldn't be made like he even thinks about killing himself to go and save shaula or the people of vollachia" this is not the savior's complex, this is his goal, his mission, his meaning of life-using his ability to save everyone he can. And that had been a priority for him even before Rem had confessed to him, even before they had begun to trust each other. Rem only supported him on this path at the moment when he dropped his hands and was ready to turn away from it. Otherwise, if Subaru's motive was not to save everyone he cared about, but only to fall in love with Emilia - I'm sorry, in this case, this novel would not be worth a copper penny. And Rem calls him a hero not only because she is in love with him, but above all because Subaru is really her hero, because he saved her at the risk of his life, because he helped her. And, thus, Rem is not just in love with Subaru, but also feels great gratitude towards him and seeks to express it in one way or another. "and THEN got satella who's only person atm keeping him sane in his dreams"- this is no longer a matter of principle, but nevertheless, in fact, all the witches - well, except, perhaps, the Witch of Greed-helped him in one way or another at that moment, especially Minerva.
@Ambridge You're overconfident, that's your problem. You not only talk about facts, but you also express your opinion. The events in the Hall of Memories do not necessarily have to be understood as you explain them. Although, it is impossible not to agree that Rem was not fully present there. Your words about the relationship between Rem and Subaru only show that you really do not like the idea of possible love between them. In this regard, you are absolutely devoid of objectivity. I can see that the relationship between Subaru and Rem is special. That he believes in her as someone he can trust with his weakness and as someone who makes him strong. I see the relationship between Subaru and Beatrice and Emilia in a different light - he is more of a support and hope for them than they are for him. I could try to explain more, but I'm afraid you're too angry for that. After all, I have said almost nothing about Emilia yet and you've already somehow decided that I'm ignoring her relationship with Subaru and that I shouldn't read this novel. You're drunk, man. You seem to be drunk with jealousy, with the realization that people really love Rem more than Emilia. But in your madness, you guessed the truth - yes, I love Rem more than the other characters, at least most of them. I want Subaru and Rem to be together. And I don't like Emilia at all. It annoys you, I see, but should any of this change for me? No, I dooon't think so.
Because she’s beautiful and kind.,
I totally agree with you
and tbh I want someone like REM
I'm gonna cry if she doesn't comes back
I was going to cry man it was emotionall form zero ep it can you so much man when you watch it you could feel it by subaru pov man it hits hard
Gonna make this clear suburu loves rem. It is also romantic as in the novel he was considering to discuss with Emilia about loving both and he has committed suicide twice for rem’s sake, and even if he ran away with her, he had a loving family with her and actually had a happy ending.
This is the 243rd time I have become a fan of something I know nothing about due to a great video. Damn.
I cant stop nodding from agreeing too much
Absolutely loved this video! You explained everything beautifully and it makes me love the series SO MUCH MORE!
For me its just the herd movement. Everyone says Rem is best girl. She is best girl. Most of her traits you can find in other waifus as well but she''s just become so iconic that when I think of waifu, Rem just appears in my head and even when she isn't my favourite character. She''s just associated with the term waifu now somehow even though there are waifus older then her (as in have existed longer) like Asuka where I associate Asuka with the face of tsundere.
It's like how I associate Astolfo with being the king of femboys. There's a weird collection of character who just owns the terms for me. But again, subjective.
Emilia is a superset of Rem.
Emilia is better but I still love Rem.
peak character design
I’m still mad how he goes from “let’s run away together “ to “I love Emilia” like he did not say what he just said
The idea that Emilia was positive from the start can also explain why Subaru chose Emilia over Rem, Rem was on the same level as Emilia to Subaru, but by the time Rem got to that point Emilia had already cemented herself as the girl Subaru loves.
That doesn't mean Emilia is the best girl because best girl always lose. Heroines have a plot armor. No matter what happens they will eventually end up with the MC.
Rem is best girl but Emilia is best for Subaru
I am an archbishop of the waifu’s cult,
representing Rem
Simp cult
“How can Subaru not like rem!?!?”
Also Subaru: was beaten to death brutally multiple times by her
tru
but still
The way you pieced psychology together with beautiful statements about the show and Rem made me cry a little. The one thing that I will always love about Rem is that her character in the first season of Re:Zero is so beautifully written that it's hard not to feel emotional about the things she says and does.
Who is...
Emilia
It's rem but with long white hair
The worst version though
@@kyu2520 yeah your right
The one who is in Rem's place lololol
@@simp.4791 lmao best way to describe it 🤣
I still don't know why I'm crying even though I have watched this video 8 times 😥
im scared to watch the first season again cuz ill prolly cry too much lol
As a fellow Rem enthusiast, I appreciate this scientific dive into something that I kinda knew but could never really put into words.
The contrast between how it started with Rem (really rough & her killing him) all the way to the point where she is sacrificing herself to save Subaru when he was captured by the witch cult. That positive growth feels even higher & better when compared to the juxtaposition of the start of their relationship.
So yeah, thanks man!
(it’s especially interesting to me, because I hate tsundere characters & didn’t even think of Rem as one)
watching this makes me cry, I love rem.
best girl 7 years later idc
Rem is best waifu change my mind
“Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket.
But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
To be honest, Rem is not my favorite character of ReZero. That would be Subaru. But what I do love about her is their connection. I like how Subaru gets a kick whenever Rem is present.
Though I do believe whatever Subaru feels for her is romantic all the way. I mean, there were at least two attempts to kiss her. He is aware of her as a woman, and has no problem with physical contact. Also his way of calling her "My Rem" does imply a certain connotation.
"My rem"? When the fuck did that happen?
@@piyushsharma3991 Quite a few times in the novel, actually.
She was first to call herself "his". The letter she left for him in Ep.14 was signed "Subaru-kun no Rem" which implies belonging and is not a conventional phrase to end a letter, as the subtitles "Your Rem" made it look like.
Later Subaru adopted that when referring to her. He declared "You belong to me" in his confession. When he got mad at Carmila, he went on describing the real Rem, adding "That is my Rem. Don't you dare talk to me in my Rem's voice, with my Rem's face."
And on a more funny occasion he argued with himself in Od Lagna, "And my Rem. - You mean, My Rem. - No, my Rem. - No, mine."
@@user-li5cr6wv5b Holy shit I think now i *HAVE* to read the light novel!
I really liked that you pointed out how, even though Subaru turns down Rem romantically, that doesn't mean he doesn't really love her, but just the opposite. I think (especially when it comes to fiction, and maybe even in real life too) we have these expectations that a close relationship between a guy and a girl always has to end up romantic in order to be fulfilling. But I think Subaru and Rem are a great example of how two people can have that kind of intimate trust and unconditional love for each other even apart from some kind of expected romantic payoff.
And I definitely agree From Zero and Rem encouraging Subaru is the best moment from the series and one of the top anime moments overall.
To bad her encourgment is keeping him being delusional.
@@enigma3072 explain that. Not really. He doesn’t think him being a hero not completely anyway. It helped picked him back up but it is holding him back
@@enigma3072He literally would've gone insane if it weren't for her emotional support
This explains why it's harder for people who are scared of conflicts and anger (I'm one of them) to close the distance between them and others.
That gain-loss theory makes so much sense! I do feel like I can still give things to others, despite having a guarded personality (not by choice, not completely atleast). Anime has made me think about relationships even more than I usually have done in the past, and even then it was everyday.
You learn so much from watching anime alone, it's mind-boggling at times! I wish society had a more positive view on anime, because I wanna see the reactions of people when they find out how deep a lot of anime series are. I might sound weird, but I wanna see them cry at stuff we anime fans usually cry at. Whenever we see Subaru struggling, the ending of AnoHana, the ending of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (that one made me feel like dying for a short while, geez..) or any other anime with those deep feels we can't help but cry at.. I wanna see how it might change how people perceive things. The whole roller coaster ride, you know? That stuff make up for a good discussion!
I feel the same way. I wish people understood how deep anime is.
Didn't know I needed this video ahaha
I like it when he said a bunch of smart things then said and because she’s drawn cute as hell

The fact that Subaru killed himself for Rem is so beautiful. I'm crying
Twice actually. I dont think hes killed himself for emilia once.
Well if you read Arc 6 then......spoiler
he died for her about 20+ times i would say.....and 2 nearly 3 in Arc 7. These two really need to stop dying for each other.
@@Ken-mc9ic seriously!?
@@jebes909090
He would've killed himself if Puck didn't do the job.
Besides, even if you don't count that, he's died for Rem the same number of times she's brutally murdered him.
@@thermophile1695 Rem killed him once, and Subaru died about 3-4 times for her in arc 4 by cutting his throat, then arc 6 is about 20 times.
Rem is a character that came on so strong she moved from a supporting role to a lead role. Emilia was displaced as the de facto heroine. Even with Rem sidelined for a large part of season 2, her performance from season 1 was enough for to retain first place anyway.
In short the reason why we love Rem is she would do anything to whom she love, she would always be there for you and even after rejected she would still love and support you
her confession of love was superficial and Prideful, Subaru wanted someone to forgive him, only Emilia can forgive him
Rem will forever be the best girl.
"Why do people Love Rem so much?"
Me: Cause rem
I was talking about this show once with a co-worker, and he described Ram as "red-haired Rem".
I don't know if that shows how significant Rem is or how insignificant Ram is, but it was really funny to me at the time. XD
I love rem so much too. Great video ❤️
A relationship which starts out moderately negative and then improves has the advantage of clearly demonstrating up front that the affection is not superficial.
I wouldn't call literally torturing someone to death 'moderately negative'
Her love is pretty superficial, she only talked about his...fingers....and how she hates his eyes unless they soften thats only part she loves about his eyes...when they soften and oh right being a hero wow what great DEEP EMOTIONAL LOVE...meanwhile subaru not only gave giant text on what Subaru loves about Emilia but also about everything about her appearance and how he will forgive her and still support her with her shortcomings, Meanwhile Rem refuses to even forgive Subaru and Subaru still hopes someone will forgive him which is clearly Emilia
Subaru fetish is silver hair
Emilia fetish is scary eyes like fortuna and subaru
@@peppermint3808
As someone who's been on both ends of that kind of obsession.... It's not superficial, per se, it's rather a result of having an extremely depressed lifestyle, and once something pulls you out of that state, all of this extra emotional energy you have goes directly to them. This doesn't just happen with crushes, but celebrities and other things.
I don't think it's that weird to have a phase like that some point in your life, but what fewer people do is grow past that obsession, though it often evolves into a related passion, such as a love for music.
