In fact, if you watch this scene without cutting, Wilhelm's first person pronoun changes as shown above. "Watashi" has many meanings, but in this case it is a Japanese first-person pronoun that describes a calm gentleman. On the other hand, "Ore" is a first-person pronoun often used by passionate young men. Therefore, there is a reason why he changed the word from "Watashi" to "Ore", which means that his emotions were aroused and he returned to his youth.
15:48 Good news! There is an entire 3 part spinoff of novels with Wilhelm as the main character, showing him in the army, meeting Theresia, marrying her, and the threats they face together. It has some of the best content Re:Zero has to offer in my opinion.
And, the other content about them is magnificent. I guess I should read the spinoff stuff, cause Wilhelm is one of the most awesome anime characters I've ever had the pleasure to scream in support of.
@@kallistikaleid The EX volumes are fantastic. If you just want the full Wilhelm backstory, check out EX 2-3 and the Sword Devil Battle Ballad side story. Really recommend them before season 3 drops, since Wilhelm will play a big role in the next arc.
I hope you guys will jump straight into season 2 once you finish this season. The drama and storytelling is unreal in season 2 and I can't wait for you two to see it!
16:30 Re:Zero truly is special. Every character has a story to tell and every character is truly special. Subaru has been and always will be the best character in fiction in my opinion, due to how much he has saved me. He is my favourite character and that will never change.
Wilhelm is so impactful for how little screen time he has and all the cliches in his romance. But it's all in the execution and JUST enough trope breaking (doesn't want his girl to give up sword because she's a pretty girl BUT because she doesn't love being a swordsman). I also think a ton of the side characters are put in the spotlight because they are meant to be foils to Subaru, especially when it comes to love (in all it's manifestations). Also, we're waiting for S3! Plus you'll have 2 OVAs to watch before S2 too.
@@reaganjulesalinsunurin502 Not what I meant lol. Wilhelm is a foil for Subaru's love. Puck's love for Emilia. Rem's love for Subaru. Felix' love for Crusch. Witch's love for Subaru. Betelguese's love for Witch. S2 spoiler love for S2 spoiler. Etc. Some are meant to show how far Subuaru has to grow or are meant to mirror Subaru's selfish love. Both are meant to help him grow.
@@urulokigaming3229this isn't true, the other characters all have their flaws and Wilhelm IS actually sexist about it. But the brilliance is that that's the point! Wilhelm spent his life wishing to be stronger and living for battle, but the woman he fell in love with who had been given that power from a young age knew from her life that that's an empty meaningless existence, and wanted him to open up his worldview. Which he does through their relationship, until her death causes him to regress. He is Abel from Moby Dick and has until this point lost the self his wife married. He will continue to change and reflect but fans usually completely misportray him.
31:50 S2 SPOILERS: Love how this statement is completely wrong in regards to Satella, but almost completely hits the nail on the head for a certain greedy girl.
Now that we're approaching the end of the season, really hoping you'll watch the Memory Snow and Frozen Bonds OVAs before jumping into season 2. Both are intended to be watched after season 1 and really add to the themes and events of season 2.
These two episodes are soo good, no matter how many times I watch them they still blow me away and hit emotionally. Willhelm is the goat, and Crush is sooo incredible too.
@kale7600 it does not add more context. The only thing Directors cut added was the end scene that is fully available in the beginning of S2, as well as uncensored some scenes. It didn't add additional context nor dialogue just some animation improvements and the scene that's at the beginning of S2
Some context that might help in the next episodes. This was explicit in the novels but was made more subtle in the anime The reason Julius fought Subaru and beated him to a pulp was to save his life. Subaru had insulted the knights publicly, and some of them were planning on killing him. Like grab him in an alleyway and cutting his throat. As a result of the public shamming, Subaru was deemed not worth it. And Julius was seen as going too hard on him and hurt his own image. As of right bow he is being punished and isn't allowed to work as a knight (temporarily)
The first half was fairly surmisable for a non-LN reader just from Reinhard and Felix's context clues. The 2nd half with Julius acting as Juli the Mercenary I thought was just him being quirky. So nice to know there's an actual reason for it.
38:06 "Maybe we'll end the season with like a cliffhanger." No... and yes. spoiler? . .. . .. The director's cut has the cliffhanger. In the regular series, that incident is moved to the beginning of 2x01. They didn't know if they were going to get a season 2 so they did the no cliffhanger ending for the regular season.
Important cut content from this episode: Subaru confessed his love to Rem after the battle. He loves Rem as much as Emilia, so much so he even confessed to her twice.
I will add context that Subaru had tried to avoid admitting it because he felt like an indecisive douchebag. Rem managed to get it out of him by pretending to be hurt after the battle, and convinced him to try and talk with Emilia and try to see if things can work out for the three.
I also like to add that was also forced out of him and their voices sounded like joking. And ever since. He only talks about 1 girl he likes and 1 girl that likes him. And even if he did love rem the same way. The author is a fan of true love and not love triangles. So subaru will only get with emilia. Also, if that was important for the story, the author would have asked it into the anime. Its clearly not important enough.
@@tonikorhonen7687 "I really love you. Of course I do... I can't... manage without you." They were words from his heart of hearts. Subaru poured all his unembellished true feelings into the words he spoke that instant.... And then, he stated firmly, "You're mine. I won't hand you to anyone."" Subaru admits that what he says is completely true to his own feelings. I don't know about you, but I would never say to a platonic female friend "You're mine. I won't hand you to anyone." Not to mention them nearly kissing before Felix's interruption. It is an undeniable fact that he romantically loves Rem, further evidence listed below. Spoilers for Arc 6 and 7: The two Subaru's arguing over who Rem belongs to is once again indicative of a romantic interest in Rem because who the fuck argues about who will 'get' their platonic female friend. In Arc 7 he also tells Rem that he wishes that he could tie her to him with a red string of fate iirc, which is a symbol of romantic love. I
33:17 omg poor Ben 😂😂 I remember one other moment like this in maybe a video for AoT where Anna was like "I love this character more than anything" and then immediately side-eyed Ben 😂
Wilhelm and Theresia Van Astrea's flashback is my favorite thing in this anime, everything is perfect in it, the emotional moments, the music, the romance, everything is freaking perfect in that flashback. That flashback in the English dubs is equally as good too, The English voice actors did an amazing job in that flashback and I'm someone who dislikes English dubs but I have to praise it this time.
Everyone still focuses on Subaru when the story is more than he is, it's sort of amazing really how well the story is written when people fall into this trap of only focusing on what Subaru is focusing on because we're with him. But it's far more than that.
on GOD, people need to stop just appreciating subaru's story and appreciate the story of re zero itself. it's rare to see a story with so SO MANY characters written just as well as the main character, who himself already has phenomenal writing. there's so much going on in re zero's world and subaru is just a tiny fraction of it.
@Senpafon why? The outcome is the same except it makes for a worse viewing experience since it repeats the scene and also doesn't give the same experience as watching S1 when it was thought to be the whole packet
Despite how good the side characters are, Subaru is easily the best character in the show, and even more once you've read the novels and took a peek into his thought process, felt his terror, agony, anger and desperation. And also his love, strong enough to overshadow the Hell he's walking through. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
Honestly even just based off Anime I think Crusch wpuld be my last pick because her plan is actively to cut of the pact with the Dragon. The same Dragon that they said helped seal Satella the Witch of Envy and is one of the biggest defences of the Kingdom
The thing is, other parts DO raise suspicions about the dragons and heroes of lugunica and Crusch's story is decently sympathetic. But I still feel like her way of reaching that goal was so shallow. And it makes sense, because in ex 1 while we know who she's doing this over, she really didn't grow to recognise her actual desires and have the authentic relationships they deserved before what happens. Her growth is stunted and I hope we'll finally see her fully open into a great person herself in later arcs. I can imagine a "that's not what I wanted!" sort of moment with her same as Subaru if something bad actually IS revealed about the dragon, because she'll finally confront that this ambition of hers really isn't including the effects on every other person(at least outside of nobility imo she's biased in a very classist way). I expect her to become more interesting.

11:45 BRAH THE WAY I BURST OUT LAUGHING

I recommend watching the directors cut of the last 2 eps before starting season 2
It makes no difference. The directors cut endscene is the very first scene of S2
@@bryangarcia5207 I'm not entirely sure, but I think the directors cut adds a bit more context to why half the villagers went to the sanctuary.

Julius is just that anal about being a knight he'd pretend acting under a false name while engaged in mercenary activities.
Based on this reaction I think season 3, whenever that comes out, will definitely be something to look forward to.
