@arnold jayeola The mere act of trying to reach the planet's core and strip the core of its blessings would draw Reinhart's attention LOOOOOONG before Subaru could actually reach it, and fighting Reinhart on the way to the planet's core is just as much of a losing battle as fighting him on the surface.

I think Subaru or maybe everyone from beyond the great waterfall is compatible with all authorities, perhaps the factors come from the same world that Subaru came from.
((Possibly big spoilers below) So, after reading everything a good while ago (web novel wise) and a sudden thought that came to me when thinking about pride. The Archbishop of Lust has her authority to transform/shapeshift. but the curse of Pride(deceased) that we saw fighting our beloved demon swordsman long ago also transforms people depending on how much they match/resist the curse of pride. Normals were turned into black giant flies, Crusch matched somewhat and as such didn't turn into a fly but got insane pain and was turned all black, veiny from it. Subaru matched/can take it and as such isn't in pain, in fact the cursed limb is stronger. And, ahead of time in case it comes up I want to say the one most likely to be matching Pride, able to take in pride's curse (or authority?) without turning black and veiny, but can like Subaru get stronger from Pride who, like Lust, is of royal blood and prideful... Felt.

Imagine being Reinhard, you're just a bro saving people, you may even remember when you saved Subaru from Elsa. And then this guy kills everyone, everyone you care about and you're helpless to protect them, only you survive. And then you confront the deranged monster that did this and he says he did it out of spite for your power. "Visibly shook" is probably an understatement, Reinhard would be broken after the hate subsides with Subaru's death, mentally shattered. Subaru really did win this route.
@@leonelgutierre3709 Subaru:"Oh boy here I go killing again" Later Reinhard:"Why did you destroy the world?" Subaru:"You were banging my crush" Reinhard:*visible confusion
Just remember guys, he died about 110489 in this route, he's beyond insane. Attempting to kill reinhard about 100k times isn't something any mad man can do.
Don't forget, those are the confirmed ones, he killed every Archbishop in this route which we don't know how long it took him, so it's way more than that number.
In the wrath side story, he’s literally called the purge king. He’s mentioned to have directly caused 120-ish thousand deaths not counting indirect deaths. Haven’t checked out the other one yet. Seems like most of these cause genocide

Honestly, still feel like he's a sin archbishop of something. Pride was open. Maybe he's higher up. Like an arch knight or someshit. But the witches have an odd fondness of him. Even pride. It's interesting.
@@p.a.w.sthetravelinggamer6750 imagine he said "im natsuki subaru, the person who stands above all the sin archbishop, and the one who will make you a king"... Probably sounds more like escanor but at least it was awesome
Ironically. It is comparable to the relationship between Satella and Subaru. Satella deeply loves Subaru, but Subaru has no memories of Satella....Except in Spoilers In Satella's shadow realm
@@Jocatoe yes, he has died many times in the sanctuary story, and he will keep dying. Because he knows that Subaru can just RBD and find another version of Roswall.
With how hostile and even a bit pretentious the world and it's characters are... not at all. The world goes out of it's way to show that Subaru, is in fact, not the beloved main character. But rather a lowly side character that is easily killed off. But from his point of view, Subaru does not...will not accept that.
It's a what-if story written by the author I don't think Subaru will become evil in canon because it would be retarded. Unless he already is but if it's true then he doesn't know himself.
moral of the story: It's a bad choice to isekai a NEET (shut-in) or a lunatic in another world as they will only bring trouble. Hope in the light novel, the author will give details why the witch isekai-ed Subaru, based on what I see maybe just to be one of the cardinal sins (Pride) - a tool to bring more chaos. To be fair, this is an opposite take in an isekai type genre where the MC is usually a hero who will save the day, while Subaru on the other hand has all that chances yet took on a different path which eventually turning him into a villain and making his love one "Emilia - the hero" that took Subaru's life. All for pride ? all for love - so that Emilia will no longer face racial discrimination and be the ruler of their world just as Subaru wanted to be.
This video taught me a very important lesson, do the right thing for the littlest decisions. Sins can really harm a person and change their point of view on the world. The littlest things might not always be little.
Subaru hits home for me because I was in his shoes with nothing going right, made some prideful decisions that have cost me alot and hit rock bottom. I had to also cast aside my illusions I had clung too in order to keep going. I will say this the mental gymnastics subaru goes through are not only very realistic portrayals but something that will resonate deeply if you every have to go through it. Those who never reach such stressful periods may see subaru's emotional journey as overly dramatic. But its spot on, and makes me wonder if the author is channeling his own life. Often the best authors lead or had led miserable lives, and thus happy normies would find it difficult to write such dark and deep characters when they havent been to those places themselves.
@@breembo I agree. This kind of thing shows how easily twisted one person can become and how far they are willing to go just to get what they want. A scorched earth approach...
Plot twist: all of these routes are cannon but at the end of each one Subaru returns by death back to the start and has all his memories erased by Satella and he has to restart the entire route over again this time choosing a different path.
Highly doubted a brain can’t be unfucked once u go insane even getting amnesia won’t save you cause although you forgot what u used to do your body will remember the way u used to move and do things and you’ll be confused why u so said things but they became a habit after doing it so many times constantly
@@wild5851 // We're talking about Witch Authorities here, godlike abilities that can create life or reverse time. If we're talking about the experience of the body, then all Satella has to do is assimilate Subaru into herself AND THEN reconstruct Subaru to the point of perfection. I'd honestly say that Satella is comparable to a blackhole that assimilates everything in her shadow, mostly life, memories, and experiences. Destroying Subaru in both mind and soul is very possible for Satella, and rewinding time is a feat very possible for Satella. Whatever the case, it's a fun thought to think about.

Subaru in this story is literally the most compelling and deep villian I have ever heard of. For no one ever sees themselves as the villian of their own story, and to commit the most agregrious of crimes out of what one perceives as love is the makings of an epic villian. THANK YOU echidnut for this video, it has greatly inspired me for ideas for villians.
Not to mention once she becomes queen or something, she’ll have to fix the entire country and get it back running again. That’s a pain to deal with too.
@@calimorale9880 Plus Emilia might blame herself for this even tough it's not her fault(she obviously didn't take the trials because the plot of season 2 didn't happen so her character development didn't happen), at least she didn't meet Subaru before in the Pride if route, imagine if she meet Subaru before thought of him as a good person and after some time saw him burn Lugunica for her(this is a hyppotetical POV as Subaru burned Lugunica for himself)
As an anime-only viewer, this is already pretty amazing so far. Teaming up with Elsa and befriending Battlegoose (I never remember how to spell his name, but you get me) is disturbing enough but capturing Felix has got to be the kicker that drives the insanity home.

Am I the only one that thinks that this “Pride if story” is badass? This version of Subaru is ruthless yet desperate for own’s reputation which makes Subaru a complete badass.
It would amazing if any of the IF stories, especially the Pride and Wrath IF stories gets adapted as either an OVA or movie! I would love to see Subaru in a completely different way to where we, as the audience, is not used to seeing. Reading the IF stories had made Subaru, for me, such a fascinating and complex character all around and I would love to see the overall reactions from audiences and listen to their honest opinions once they witnessed Subaru as pure evil!
I meant it’s the best among the if stories. But well, since you’re oh so intelligent, keep deducing about people’s emotional maturity and whatnot considering just a thing they said on internet years ago.
I believe this should have an adaptation for an alternate path for the anime, all the comments belittling and demeaning Subaru would get what they oh so wanted.

This story really brings into perspective how OP Subaru really is and how much of an affect Subaru has on this world. Spoilers for the video This is definitely my favourite IF, the way Subaru changes, how everything around him changes and his journey in this messed up way. The way Tappei portrays this is amazing. The end was so satisfying, the calm yet twisted way he confesses. It brings you really into the twisted world of re:zero. I hope these stories get adapted as an OVA (sloth would probably be the best OVA because it is not as visibly twisted as the others) Also, the Wrath IF Subaru was actually able to deal with Reinhard which is funny
About Oboreru...well no, not really...he didn't deal with Reinhard. He greatly diminished his powers by building the tower that disabled a bunch of his blessings. But Reinhard still defeated Cecilus and there's a high chance he killed Puck as well. I think he got out of the tower alive
@Air Subaru wasn't able to deal with Reinhard in the Wrath IF. He just did mildly better than in this timeline, meaning Reinahrd prob would have to take 10 more minutes to get to him if that.
Can anyone help me out here I'm tryna read re zero but don't know where to start. I've watched the anime finished cans someone tell me what chapter to start on and what it's called
The wait for season 2 is slowly killing me, and these videos keep me over the edge for Re Zero content Also, in regards to why Subaru actually died at the end, I think maybe that was because he was satisfied with his goal. He had no reason to keep going, an maybe Satella saw that. I find it hard to think that Satella gave up on him, as it's well established that her love for Subaru is absolute. Maybe the way to break the restrictions of Return by Death is to completely accept death, no regrets or anything. Subaru has never accepted death in the main story, he's always felt that there's more he needs to do, and that he needs to try for the perfect ending. Maybe when he finally gets the ending he wants, he'll die permanently.
It is shown that it's possible to overrite Authorities. It's extremely hard but possible (Reid overriding the Authority of Gluttony, for example). So...the most likely reason as to why Subaru died at the end is simple. Just as you said...he achieved what he wanted. There was no reason for him to continue. But that part about Satella is most likely incorrect. TL:DR no matter how hard she tries, if Subaru refuses RDB he will die and Satella cannot do anything against it. (At least that's the conclusion i came up with)
@@IEatBears4Breakfast that is also a very plausible conclusion. RBD is an extremely interesting power, and I'd love to know exactly what it's rules and restrictions are. As of now, we know that he can't talk about it to anyone, and that he can't control his save point or return to previous ones. Other than that, the details of RBD are super unclear, and I hope that we get to learn more about in Arc 7, but that's probably not gonna happen. I have a feeling that the explanation of RBD is endgame material I personally think that RBD is a contract, and that Satella made this one-sided contract with Subaru either when she first pulled him into the world, or when Subaru promised to save Emilia.
@@alcatrazvongola Yeah, probably. This story is one of the most fucked IF stories, but it's ending is strangely positive in a way. For Subaru, at least
As an anime only person, I really don't see how anything of value was lost by watching this. Nothing was really spoiled imo and the anime will probably never finish up anyways.
Subaru's introduction: Subaru knows that he is erring. Subaru knows that he is incorrect. Subaru knows that this methods will not bring joy to Emilia. But this was the only method he had. Grant Emilia's wish, make Emilia Ruler, and demonstrate his feelings for Emilia. With these things in mind, and knowing from the very beginning that he was wrong, Subaru got here. And so Natsuki Subaru laughs. Snickers. Smirks. “-Watch me, Emilia. See me, detest me, remember me.” “Who, are you? Who in the world, are you...?” Asks Emilia, her voice trembling, as Subaru slowly approaches her with his arms open wide. Subaru closes his eyes. It feels like he's been yearning for this forever. Yearning to answer that question in Emilia's presence, forever-. “-My name is Natsuki Subaru.” “Su, baru...” Just hearing that weak call of his name is enough for a flood of emotion to surge through him. Emotion so great that, by that alone, Subaru is completely satisfied with having come here. With those feelings in his heart, and praying that he'll finish this sentence without his voice shaking because of them- “-Witch Cult Cardinal of Sin, Bishop of PRIDE, Natsuki Subaru!” “Cardinal...!” Giving the greatest introduction he can, Subaru puts all his strength into his legs and kicks off the ground. Natsuki Subaru focuses all of his scattered strength into one point in his body for the final sprint of his life. Sacrificed many people, maltreated those who could perhaps be his accomplices, found solace in those he perhaps had bonds with, and now finally arriving at this darling girl- “I'm the man who burned the world, rocked the country, killed the hero, and-” “-” “-you will kill.” Feeling the impact spear through his chest, Subaru smiles. He falls to his knees, unable to support himself before collapsing, tumbling down. He never reaches Emilia as his body gracelessly pitches across the stone. “Why?” Subaru closes his eyes, ready to accept the end, when something prompts him to raise his eyelids. Emilia is standing right as his side, looking down at him. One of the tears streaming from her eyes lands on Subaru's cheek, making him open his eyes. “Why?” Repeated, overlapping questions. What on earth could this 'why' signify, wonders Subaru. Why did you do this? Why did it have to be like this? Why did you come here to die to me? There are definitely many 'why's in that question. And he would like to answer all of them, but Subaru only has the scarcest of time left. So he lets his final breath carry his answer. “-I love you.” Edited: to those who want to know how much Subaru died (including the last one) is *110,489* times. He didn't ressurect since he was satisfied with the outcome of his doings therefore he is now bound with satella, sealed away, for eternity.
Damn, its nice to see new ways of how people interpret this route's subaru different from the other one. I have read the what-if year ago and still find new ways to look at it.
Wow that’s crazy. He really was like Roswaal. I see a lot of similarities. The both learn to devalue life because death has no consequences (Roswaal is different but you’ll get to that part later). They both go mad obsessing over butterfly effects. Ultimately only one thing remains in their heads: their ultimate goal. So yep definitely ends justifies means. And the ‘you just do what is best for emelia despite her feelings part’ shows here.
Literally found this cannel two days ago and watched all videos on it. And now a video about my favorite IF route? It is a good time to be a re:zero fan.
Very very interesting story. I think this solidifies Subaru as the strongest character in the series. Not the strongest in terms of raw power, of course that belongs to Reinhardt, but the strongest as in he can accomplish nearly anything he puts his mind to (minus killing Reinhardt) where as other characters and Reinhardt cannot do the same. I see why people say Subaru and Reinhardt are foils to each other, or two sides of a coin. Like Superman and Batman, one can accomplish anything through raw ability and feats, the other can accomplish anything through preparation, intel and planning. Another cool thing is that I always noticed in stories that villians tend to be villains for stupid or miniscule reasons and events. Like if they just did something different, or forgave someone, or apologized they would end up living a completely different life. While I think that isn't a rule that applies to all villains, I think it definitely applies to Subaru. One small act of pride led to a life or pride and wickedness to his successful demise.
Subaru basically is potentially the most dangerous character while Reinhardt and The Witch of Envy are at base the strongest, Pandora probably has the potential to be the strongest also
@@toseeupload8855 He didn't, although he did damage Reinhard, it took him Cecilus, Halibel, Emilia and Puck some of the strongest characters and his wounds completly healed a few seconds after that(spirits healed him)
You are probably just joking/meming. But to prevent misunderstanding I will copy & paste the author Q&A regarding this matter. Q "Why didn't the White Whale die when Subaru tell it he can RbD" A "The Whale is not Emilia, that's why" So yeah...basically Satella can choose who to kill when Subaru breaks the rule, it's not something he can abuse for his benefit. Plus even Satella couldn't kill Reinhardt, the dude is too OP.
@@Bahaumt86 Satella can just kill Subaru himself to force a reset if he is so stubborn to tell Reinhardt. Or worse, Satella could kill Reinhardt and Emilia at the same time. Although, Reinhardt will be revived with his bullshit blessing (but didn't catch the moment Subaru say the word), only Emilia will die for the consequence of it. If Reinhardt is an enemy Satella probably did the former, while the latter option is when Reinhardt is Subaru's ally.
@@ryouchaironeko2566 i can only imagine Reindhart saying "I know, I'm working on it" as we see Subaru panicking realizing that this guy will not die ever

Natsuki Subaru focuses all of his scattered strength into one point in his body for the final sprint of his life. The Ayamatsu and Oboreru routes both deserve their own series, movies, or OVAs. Really anything to get them animated.
I think the reason why he died permanently is because he failed he's purpose in this world. I think Satella brought him here so that Subaru could kill her but in order to kill Satella Subaru needs to past all the test of virtue and when he failed here Satella must have thought that there's no point in reviving him coz he's already strayed away from his purpose.
I never read the light novels nor watch the anime much but I think the main reason is he proven to satella how much he love Emilia/Satella and she decided to bring him with her...I think the last scene shown there is satella and she is satisfied to be with his side ...

Personally, I enjoy your way of narrating the story and how you present it. Your voice is soothing, and makes the story even better. You should cover all of the what IF chapters like sloth or wrath.
I think that in this route Satella gave up on Subaru, because he *became* the sin archbishop of Pride, completely throwing out the sin of envy out the window.
Oh but he throwed that away at the moment when he accepted to join Witch Cult already. It's more like about Desire which Subaru always had and when he finally reached his desired ending and was satisfied with this results then what meaning that he lost desire which kept him to not giving up and if he doesn't want to keep going then only thing for Satella left was to released him from grasp of her power.
I think that it’s interesting that Subaru is willing to so easily throw away his life for his goals, and become similar to Roswaal, just how he wanted Subaru to become in the canon story.
You know how ironic this is, he has the witch inside him and if you read about what made the witch it is today it’s like inspiring another witch. The witch did everything for a love one and Subaru also did.
Not shouting for help when you're in trouble (physically or mentally) is actually an unhealthy instinct that some people develop throughout their life mostly due their childhood. If you're extremely used to being the one that helps others (or people rely on you all the time) and not the other way around, you usually end up with an instinct of "how can (I) help myself" instead of "who can help me". In that case, this scenario can literally play out like this if Subaru wasn't as helpless as he was in his original life in Japan. Meaning, him being a pathetic loser in his previous life could have developed that "help me" instinct that prevented this route from developing in the first place.
@@GreatestLeaf technically subaru won in that route he killed everyone and everything he stood for and Reinhardt will probably be broken after the hate for subaru resides a little it not always about killing your oponents
I think what scares me the most about this, is the fact that the "good story" that's happening in the anime could very easily at any point take a dark turn like this. I mean... C'mon! To give one girl, an unhealthy obsession btw, the world, he takes away the very world she wants to rule in exchange for his humanity. That's some next level dedication

So, in a way, Betelgeuse could've been right when he asked him that he was the Sin Archbishop of Pride
Yes!
Technically yes
not "could've been" he still is right more or less.
I think Subaru or maybe everyone from beyond the great waterfall is compatible with all authorities, perhaps the factors come from the same world that Subaru came from.
((Possibly big spoilers below) So, after reading everything a good while ago (web novel wise) and a sudden thought that came to me when thinking about pride.
The Archbishop of Lust has her authority to transform/shapeshift. but the curse of Pride(deceased) that we saw fighting our beloved demon swordsman long ago also transforms people depending on how much they match/resist the curse of pride. Normals were turned into black giant flies, Crusch matched somewhat and as such didn't turn into a fly but got insane pain and was turned all black, veiny from it. Subaru matched/can take it and as such isn't in pain, in fact the cursed limb is stronger. And, ahead of time in case it comes up I want to say the one most likely to be matching Pride, able to take in pride's curse (or authority?) without turning black and veiny, but can like Subaru get stronger from Pride who, like Lust, is of royal blood and prideful... Felt.
Let’s be honest. We would all go insane after the 3rd death at most.
Milark most not all
Not knowing if you're 100% will still gonna be alive after that point or not is terrifying
Personally I'll be more afraid of the pain of death than death itself lol.

Imagine being Reinhard, you're just a bro saving people, you may even remember when you saved Subaru from Elsa. And then this guy kills everyone, everyone you care about and you're helpless to protect them, only you survive. And then you confront the deranged monster that did this and he says he did it out of spite for your power. "Visibly shook" is probably an understatement, Reinhard would be broken after the hate subsides with Subaru's death, mentally shattered. Subaru really did win this route.

@@ryouchaironeko2566 Well, his ideal was probably greed. But this is probably close enough.
Honestly you can’t really blame Subaru if he really became evil in the anime.
With how hostile and even a bit pretentious the world and it's characters are... not at all.
The world goes out of it's way to show that Subaru, is in fact, not the beloved main character. But rather a lowly side character that is easily killed off.
But from his point of view, Subaru does not...will not accept that.
It's a what-if story written by the author I don't think Subaru will become evil in canon because it would be retarded. Unless he already is but if it's true then he doesn't know himself.
moral of the story: It's a bad choice to isekai a NEET (shut-in) or a lunatic in another world as they will only bring trouble. Hope in the light novel, the author will give details why the witch isekai-ed Subaru, based on what I see maybe just to be one of the cardinal sins (Pride) - a tool to bring more chaos. To be fair, this is an opposite take in an isekai type genre where the MC is usually a hero who will save the day, while Subaru on the other hand has all that chances yet took on a different path which eventually turning him into a villain and making his love one "Emilia - the hero" that took Subaru's life. All for pride ? all for love - so that Emilia will no longer face racial discrimination and be the ruler of their world just as Subaru wanted to be.
Yh it would be rly cool to see them defeating villian subaru as he can't die
This video taught me a very important lesson, do the right thing for the littlest decisions. Sins can really harm a person and change their point of view on the world. The littlest things might not always be little.
Subaru hits home for me because I was in his shoes with nothing going right, made some prideful decisions that have cost me alot and hit rock bottom. I had to also cast aside my illusions I had clung too in order to keep going. I will say this the mental gymnastics subaru goes through are not only very realistic portrayals but something that will resonate deeply if you every have to go through it. Those who never reach such stressful periods may see subaru's emotional journey as overly dramatic. But its spot on, and makes me wonder if the author is channeling his own life. Often the best authors lead or had led miserable lives, and thus happy normies would find it difficult to write such dark and deep characters when they havent been to those places themselves.
@@breembo I agree. This kind of thing shows how easily twisted one person can become and how far they are willing to go just to get what they want.
A scorched earth approach...
Plot twist: all of these routes are cannon but at the end of each one Subaru returns by death back to the start and has all his memories erased by Satella and he has to restart the entire route over again this time choosing a different path.

@@wild5851 // We're talking about Witch Authorities here, godlike abilities that can create life or reverse time. If we're talking about the experience of the body, then all Satella has to do is assimilate Subaru into herself AND THEN reconstruct Subaru to the point of perfection.
I'd honestly say that Satella is comparable to a blackhole that assimilates everything in her shadow, mostly life, memories, and experiences. Destroying Subaru in both mind and soul is very possible for Satella, and rewinding time is a feat very possible for Satella.
Whatever the case, it's a fun thought to think about.

This is definitely my favourite IF, the way Subaru changes, how everything around him changes and his journey in this messed up way. The way Tappei portrays this is amazing.

I hope these stories get adapted as an OVA (sloth would probably be the best OVA because it is not as visibly twisted as the others)
Also, the Wrath IF Subaru was actually able to deal with Reinhard which is funny
Nice summary and review
About Oboreru...well no, not really...he didn't deal with Reinhard. He greatly diminished his powers by building the tower that disabled a bunch of his blessings. But Reinhard still defeated Cecilus and there's a high chance he killed Puck as well. I think he got out of the tower alive
Hmmm... one of Reinhardt's blessing are immunity of debuffs and buffs so I guess those aren't debuffs?

Subaru wasn't able to deal with Reinhard in the Wrath IF. He just did mildly better than in this timeline, meaning Reinahrd prob would have to take 10 more minutes to get to him if that.

Also, in regards to why Subaru actually died at the end, I think maybe that was because he was satisfied with his goal. He had no reason to keep going, an maybe Satella saw that. I find it hard to think that Satella gave up on him, as it's well established that her love for Subaru is absolute. Maybe the way to break the restrictions of Return by Death is to completely accept death, no regrets or anything. Subaru has never accepted death in the main story, he's always felt that there's more he needs to do, and that he needs to try for the perfect ending. Maybe when he finally gets the ending he wants, he'll die permanently.
It is shown that it's possible to overrite Authorities. It's extremely hard but possible (Reid overriding the Authority of Gluttony, for example). So...the most likely reason as to why Subaru died at the end is simple. Just as you said...he achieved what he wanted. There was no reason for him to continue. But that part about Satella is most likely incorrect. TL:DR no matter how hard she tries, if Subaru refuses RDB he will die and Satella cannot do anything against it.
(At least that's the conclusion i came up with)
@@IEatBears4Breakfast that is also a very plausible conclusion. RBD is an extremely interesting power, and I'd love to know exactly what it's rules and restrictions are. As of now, we know that he can't talk about it to anyone, and that he can't control his save point or return to previous ones. Other than that, the details of RBD are super unclear, and I hope that we get to learn more about in Arc 7, but that's probably not gonna happen. I have a feeling that the explanation of RBD is endgame material
I personally think that RBD is a contract, and that Satella made this one-sided contract with Subaru either when she first pulled him into the world, or when Subaru promised to save Emilia.
This was probably the happiest death Subaru has had in the series.
@@alcatrazvongola Yeah, probably. This story is one of the most fucked IF stories, but it's ending is strangely positive in a way. For Subaru, at least
when subaru sacrifices himself for a girl hes called simp
but when rem does the same thing shes called a angel
Double standards
Ikr there is no equality in this world
True.
My boy Subaru deserves better
Bruh both don't compare
rem kinda had a reason to do it, since subaru also put his life at risk for her and also solved her internal conflict
As an anime only person, I really don't see how anything of value was lost by watching this. Nothing was really spoiled imo and the anime will probably never finish up anyways.
Some people take spoilers way too seriously. Echidnut does a good job of keeping them vague but there's always someone that gets upset about them
Why do you think the anime won't finish?
@@ViniciusAL20 cuz it's the anime
@@-Four- this don't make any sense, i can see all of the ln being in the anime easily...
There's pretty much zero spoilers except that Regulus is a character with wives that is coming up, that's it.
Subaru's introduction:
Subaru knows that he is erring.
Subaru knows that he is incorrect.
Subaru knows that this methods will not bring joy to Emilia.
But this was the only method he had.
Grant Emilia's wish, make Emilia Ruler, and demonstrate his feelings for Emilia.
With these things in mind, and knowing from the very beginning that he was wrong, Subaru got
here.
And so Natsuki Subaru laughs. Snickers. Smirks.
“-Watch me, Emilia. See me, detest me, remember me.”
“Who, are you? Who in the world, are you...?”
Asks Emilia, her voice trembling, as Subaru slowly approaches her with his arms open wide.
Subaru closes his eyes.
It feels like he's been yearning for this forever.
Yearning to answer that question in Emilia's presence, forever-.
“-My name is Natsuki Subaru.”
“Su, baru...”
Just hearing that weak call of his name is enough for a flood of emotion to surge through him.
Emotion so great that, by that alone, Subaru is completely satisfied with having come here.
With those feelings in his heart, and praying that he'll finish this sentence without his voice shaking
because of them-
“-Witch Cult Cardinal of Sin, Bishop of PRIDE, Natsuki Subaru!”
“Cardinal...!”
Giving the greatest introduction he can, Subaru puts all his strength into his legs and kicks off the
ground.
Natsuki Subaru focuses all of his scattered strength into one point in his body for the final sprint of
his life.
Sacrificed many people, maltreated those who could perhaps be his accomplices, found solace in
those he perhaps had bonds with, and now finally arriving at this darling girl-
“I'm the man who burned the world, rocked the country, killed the hero, and-”
“-”
“-you will kill.”
Feeling the impact spear through his chest, Subaru smiles.
He falls to his knees, unable to support himself before collapsing, tumbling down.
He never reaches Emilia as his body gracelessly pitches across the stone.
“Why?”
Subaru closes his eyes, ready to accept the end, when something prompts him to raise his eyelids.
Emilia is standing right as his side, looking down at him. One of the tears streaming from her eyes
lands on Subaru's cheek, making him open his eyes.
“Why?”
Repeated, overlapping questions.
What on earth could this 'why' signify, wonders Subaru.
Why did you do this?
Why did it have to be like this?
Why did you come here to die to me?
There are definitely many 'why's in that question.
And he would like to answer all of them, but Subaru only has the scarcest of time left.
So he lets his final breath carry his answer.
“-I love you.”
Edited: to those who want to know how much Subaru died (including the last one) is *110,489* times. He didn't ressurect since he was satisfied with the outcome of his doings therefore he is now bound with satella, sealed away, for eternity.
Are u Feeling good?
Damn, its nice to see new ways of how people interpret this route's subaru different from the other one. I have read the what-if year ago and still find new ways to look at it.
He learned his ways from Emiya Shirou: "Just because you are correct, doesn't mean you are right!"
@@SilverYPheonix That's pretty funny since Emiya is also stuck slaughtering people for eternity, and there will not be a happy ending for him.
I really like this route.
Never knew simping can be taken so far.
Ultra SIMPP
lelouch: first time?
@@richraichu1370 Lelouch didn't simp for his sister, because he wasn't from Alabama
Wow that’s crazy. He really was like Roswaal. I see a lot of similarities. The both learn to devalue life because death has no consequences (Roswaal is different but you’ll get to that part later). They both go mad obsessing over butterfly effects. Ultimately only one thing remains in their heads: their ultimate goal. So yep definitely ends justifies means. And the ‘you just do what is best for emelia despite her feelings part’ shows here.
Literally found this cannel two days ago and watched all videos on it. And now a video about my favorite IF route? It is a good time to be a re:zero fan.
Even when Subaru is a villain his character is still SO well written. I have some MAD respect for the writer.
Very very interesting story. I think this solidifies Subaru as the strongest character in the series. Not the strongest in terms of raw power, of course that belongs to Reinhardt, but the strongest as in he can accomplish nearly anything he puts his mind to (minus killing Reinhardt) where as other characters and Reinhardt cannot do the same. I see why people say Subaru and Reinhardt are foils to each other, or two sides of a coin. Like Superman and Batman, one can accomplish anything through raw ability and feats, the other can accomplish anything through preparation, intel and planning.
Another cool thing is that I always noticed in stories that villians tend to be villains for stupid or miniscule reasons and events. Like if they just did something different, or forgave someone, or apologized they would end up living a completely different life. While I think that isn't a rule that applies to all villains, I think it definitely applies to Subaru. One small act of pride led to a life or pride and wickedness to his successful demise.
So if Subaru became evil other people would probably see him as Johan
Johan is from an anime called monster
Subaru basically is potentially the most dangerous character while Reinhardt and The Witch of Envy are at base the strongest, Pandora probably has the potential to be the strongest also
He did seem to kill Reinhardt in Wrath?
@@toseeupload8855 He didn't, although he did damage Reinhard, it took him Cecilus, Halibel, Emilia and Puck some of the strongest characters and his wounds completly healed a few seconds after that(spirits healed him)
Ways to defeat reinhard:
Tell him you can reaturn to death...
ez win gg no re
You are probably just joking/meming.
But to prevent misunderstanding I will copy & paste the author Q&A regarding this matter.
Q "Why didn't the White Whale die when Subaru tell it he can RbD"
A "The Whale is not Emilia, that's why"
So yeah...basically Satella can choose who to kill when Subaru breaks the rule, it's not something he can abuse for his benefit. Plus even Satella couldn't kill Reinhardt, the dude is too OP.
@@ryouchaironeko2566 But doesn't that mean Subaru could tell Reinhardt his secret? Our would Satella still stop him somehow?
@@Bahaumt86 Satella can just kill Subaru himself to force a reset if he is so stubborn to tell Reinhardt.
Or worse, Satella could kill Reinhardt and Emilia at the same time. Although, Reinhardt will be revived with his bullshit blessing (but didn't catch the moment Subaru say the word), only Emilia will die for the consequence of it.
If Reinhardt is an enemy Satella probably did the former, while the latter option is when Reinhardt is Subaru's ally.
@@ryouchaironeko2566 I doubt if Satella could kill Reinhardt that fast. I think force reset is the obvious result
@@ryouchaironeko2566 i can only imagine Reindhart saying "I know, I'm working on it" as we see Subaru panicking realizing that this guy will not die ever
Great content dude, I've known for a while there were these "alternate timelines", but, never seen 'em. I really do appreciate you took the time for the story telling, cheers o/

Genuinely wish this man would release a spotify of his channel's music, genuinely love it and seems chill not gonna lie
Subaru kills the Marvel .... I mean Re:zero universe.
Lol Basically Subaru in a nutshell
I think the reason why he died permanently is because he failed he's purpose in this world. I think Satella brought him here so that Subaru could kill her but in order to kill Satella Subaru needs to past all the test of virtue and when he failed here Satella must have thought that there's no point in reviving him coz he's already strayed away from his purpose.
I thought it was because it was the first death he was truly satisfied with and had no regrets
@@KH-sc8yn You're right. Satella may have brought him to end her. But in the end she truly love him for some reason.
I never read the light novels nor watch the anime much but I think the main reason is he proven to satella how much he love Emilia/Satella and she decided to bring him with her...I think the last scene shown there is satella and she is satisfied to be with his side ...
jesus christ is that a spoiler or something?

Ayamatsu Subaru is really terrifying, IF stories are crazy. In a good way
The most terrifying one is either Wrath Subaru or Gluttony Subaru, especially Gluttony Subaru
It would amazing if any of the IF stories, especially the Pride and Wrath IF stories gets adapted as either an OVA or movie! I would love to see Subaru in a completely different way to where we, as the audience, is not used to seeing. Reading the IF stories had made Subaru, for me, such a fascinating and complex character all around and I would love to see the overall reactions from audiences and listen to their honest opinions once they witnessed Subaru as pure evil!
@@manofgreed7865nah bro wrath is not that high up compared to pride, greed and gluttony
Ayamatsu reminds me of the chaos ending of the first dishonoured game if anyone remembers it.
You kill everyone and make Emily the queen.

Oh gods I loved that game, I can't remember why but when l played it i had insatiable bloodlust slaughtering everyone but when I reached the end and watched the results of my actions I regretted everything and immediately played through again to fix my mistakes.
@@knightacedia lol I played like a ninja. Literally spent the whole game trying to not kill a single person. I succeeded until like two missions before the games end. Offed someone on accident and was like,"mother fuck. If I restart I'll feel like I'm cheating myself of reality. But... I wanted to not kill a single soul unless forced due to plot line."
YES! Thank you for covering this papa.
Lets be real here, he just likes speed running
This was honestly amazing.
what if this route was the original route and satella sent him back to the very beginning erasing his memories
Dang
Sure why not
Maybe every IF route is cannon, cuz of trial n2 and satella power could bring him back at start maybe
What if she does that everytime he chose the wrong path
Holy shit, now this is a story
So this route is literally sans boss fight every time Subaru is fighting someone?
Anytime someone who isnt strength-wise an average joe, yeah.

I just don't understand its core ... what is it please somebody explain ... why is it so stupid. .. Subaru a character running around everywhere embarrassing the person he likes making things difficult for her, etc ... like why? so much stupidity ... why? tell me why is this popular... the logic is missing ... why does he love Emilia what did she do ... that he goes for her so far ... and why is Subaru so stupid ... and the vn manga guys tell me does the curse gets explained ...I want to love it but I cant it's so cringy and stupid .... someone explains it to me .. please .....
Man,that was a really good video which described the route´s content without making it boring,congratulations.
Thanks!
this is a masterpiece and i love Re:Zero way more now.
Finally, a man of culture is making a video with culture. SUFFERING FOR THE WIN
Personally, I enjoy your way of narrating the story and how you present it.
Your voice is soothing, and makes the story even better.
You should cover all of the what IF chapters like sloth or wrath.
I think that in this route Satella gave up on Subaru, because he *became* the sin archbishop of Pride, completely throwing out the sin of envy out the window.
Oh but he throwed that away at the moment when he accepted to join Witch Cult already. It's more like about Desire which Subaru always had and when he finally reached his desired ending and was satisfied with this results then what meaning that he lost desire which kept him to not giving up and if he doesn't want to keep going then only thing for Satella left was to released him from grasp of her power.
I think that it’s interesting that Subaru is willing to so easily throw away his life for his goals, and become similar to Roswaal, just how he wanted Subaru to become in the canon story.
12:39 thank you for these amazing visuals
You know how ironic this is, he has the witch inside him and if you read about what made the witch it is today it’s like inspiring another witch. The witch did everything for a love one and Subaru also did.
If you could do Gluttony IF next, it would be great.

Palmer Lucky was offering to pay for sloth to be animated awhile back because he's a big rem shipper, and it never happened lmao.
Mad respect for still giving us anime-only viewers alot of content to follow, thank you kindly!
I gotta say I love this “If” videos. As an anime only, this is just making things more interesting. Also season 2 hype I can’t wait it
Damn this really emphasizes the power of the butterfly effect
Not shouting for help when you're in trouble (physically or mentally) is actually an unhealthy instinct that some people develop throughout their life mostly due their childhood. If you're extremely used to being the one that helps others (or people rely on you all the time) and not the other way around, you usually end up with an instinct of "how can (I) help myself" instead of "who can help me". In that case, this scenario can literally play out like this if Subaru wasn't as helpless as he was in his original life in Japan. Meaning, him being a pathetic loser in his previous life could have developed that "help me" instinct that prevented this route from developing in the first place.
Haha, fate has already sealed this IF story to be the next vid :D It's just way too insane
That shit wild, but I'm mean who could possibly stop someone that could reset za world.
A op knight called Reinhardt
@@Roeclean did he? I dont see him defending Lugnica at all.
@@GreatestLeaf yeah. Well, it still doesnt mean Reinhard could stop him in this scenario.
@@GreatestLeaf technically subaru won in that route he killed everyone and everything he stood for and Reinhardt will probably be broken after the hate for subaru resides a little it not always about killing your oponents
The fact that this moment is so important yet in the anime it's played for laughs really impresses me
I think what scares me the most about this, is the fact that the "good story" that's happening in the anime could very easily at any point take a dark turn like this. I mean... C'mon! To give one girl, an unhealthy obsession btw, the world, he takes away the very world she wants to rule in exchange for his humanity.
That's some next level dedication
