    His character is indeed an anomaly, not just among the vast number or isekai protags, but in the rezero world itself. In the short time that he's been transported to that world, he's managed to be at the center of subjugation efforts against monsters like the White Whale, Great Rabbit, and Sin Archbishops. All of these monsters have roamed and terrorized their world for over 400 years until Subaru.

    my guy subaru can easely destroy the world if he wanted to. So much so that this is literally what he did in pride if, which (although it never happend) tells what would have happen if subaru decided to click the fuck it button. And in greed if he made reinhard his doggy. This certainly isn't a weak character. Sure, he doesn't have any special ability other than RBD, but RBD alone makes all the other op abilities subaru, reinhard or any other character could ever wish for, useless.

      In your own criticism, even if Subaru could chose when to have save points, his responsibility is still absolved, as it was still forced upon from the start. But even though it was force upon, Subaru still has major responsibility anyways because he, himself, makes it his responsibility like how everyone else in the world does.

      Subaru chose to get involved from day 1, so he would be responsible for that, if he could set the save points
      Now, _why is he so involved with people he barely knew,_ thats another whole issue, and besides the point
      Thinking about it, if Puck shows up to cause destruction whenever Emilia dies, that explains why Subaru was so involved immediately, _so he would not be alive after Emilia died,_ so the author could save that reveal for later on
      Subaru would have been forced, had he not gotten involved with Emilia, once she died Puck would destroy the city, forcing Subaru into a cycle where the city is destroyed until he stops Emilia from dying
      That would be a more reasonable start to his involvement from the first arc, but the author chose to just make Subaru... too invested on a girl he knew nothing about?

      @@GinHindew110 Its clear why subaru was so invested: he felt as if he had garnered a new life, a fresh restart, and since he believed he was the main character of that world he expected the people he desired given to him. After he realizes this was not the case, he kept going because it was the only thing he was really focusing on. His hero complex made him feel that he should save everyone, and over time he starts to authentically care about the people he's getting to know. And when it comes to Puck ending the world, Subaru thought he could just run away, which is the basis of the sloth if story. That meant subaru really didnt believe puck would actually succeed in destroying everything.
      The story mainly focuses on subaru's internal struggles, which is why the story is like this. The story disguises itself as a plot driven narrative when intially there were no stakes to begin with, it was only stakes when subaru gave himself those stakes.

    • @ma.2089
      @ma.2089 Год назад +1

      This is some absurd logic. He’s still responsible for every bad run. Just because he doesn’t have a choice where the save points go, doesn’t mean he’s absolved of bad consequence. Because he is still the one acting during each “run”. Pretending like just because he can’t make one choice means he’s not responsible for failure is stupid. Irl, you don’t have full autonomy, does that mean your failures aren’t your fault? Of course not! To think otherwise is attempting to scapegoat your own failures and irresponsibility.
      Because he has less autonomy, he needs to prepare and think smart to prevent problems. This is such a lame take.

    • @ma.2089
      @ma.2089 Год назад +6

      @@GinHindew110 Subaru chose to save Emilia because it is within his own character to do so. By your logic, the writer is forcing everything cuz the story is fiction and therefore these fictional characters can’t do anything without the creator literally making things happen.
      Subaru was saved by Emilia, and wanted to help her because he found someone who cared about him in a place where he was all alone. He was friendless at home too, so when the first person who seems around his age helps him, he *needs* to continue the relationship because he is lonely. He also doesn’t want her to die because death sucks and he’s emotionally attached. You’re complaining the author wrote his character in this way…why? You’re complaining that the mc…doesn’t want ppl to die?
      None of your logic makes sense and you’re just looking for reasons to complain.

    I love re zero but I both hate and like Subaru. He is dumb as a rock. But he is good at strategy because of video games. Some say he is smart but they confuse it with strategy. Because a smart person would never make the stupid mistakes he makes. This is also why people love the story. Because the writer blue balls you and makes you see all the dumb choices that most smart people wouldn't make and literally pisses the viewer off. Then once you are upset with the dumb choice he has made. Then the writer gives you the pay off. And you are finally getting the relief for him making the right decision. It's almost like chasing someone who doesn't like you and is mean but starting to like you. It's the same old you don't value something unless you work for it. Same with re zero. You get the pay off for putting up with the cringe of his bad choices but you waited and now reward with him finally learning from his stupidity. It's almost artificial 😅 but even though I understand that I'm being tricked into the pay off, I don't mind. 😅
    I hate Subaru for being as dumb as a rock, but I really like Subaru for his determination and never giving up on someone. And him caring about others. I do wish he would wise up, but that will never happen because he is written to be this way. He will never be a Rineheart. And even Rineheart is written to be too perfect to the point where we know he is terribly flawed. Most re zero Characters are. Even Rem who people are crazy about, have no real understanding of her. How she has a physicalogical metal problem. She has basically worshiped her sister that people understand but think she makes progress and overcomes her problems, no she just switched from her sister to Subaru. But people love the idea of a wonderful wifu too much. But even if Rem gets her memories back. I wonder if she will not be interested in Subaru afterwards. Rem actually getting to live a life without the influence of her sister maybe exactly what she needs to get passed her trauma and be her own person. Anyway all the Characters are flawed and that's also what makes the show so good.

    • @ma.2089

      Being able to produce winning strategies is intelligence. He’s smart. What in the world do you define as “smart”? Being smart doesn’t mean you know everything, humans don’t know everything. Being smart can mean lots of things, but one thing is being capable at at least one thing, which Subaru has shown.
      Video games don’t always require the skills Subaru needs to survive. And even so, to pretend like video game skills means you can survive similar not gamified situations is silly, and a sign you need to touch grass. That’s like playing the sims and saying that you know how to do anything the sims characters can be made to do. Just silly.
      “A smart person would never make the same mistakes he’s made”. Actually, they would. Cuz intelligence comes in different forms and just cuz one person could do one thing Subaru isnt capable of doing, doesn’t mean they can do everything Subaru can do. Plus, Subaru has trauma other people do not. So nobody can say they can do things he can’t cuz trauma messes with your brain. Being able to look at something from a far off distance and make choices r different than being in the moment. A smart person would know that, but I guess by *your* logic you aren’t smart.
      The creator knows psychology well enough to craft a BELIEVABLE human with emotions and logic that makes sense. Subaru thinks in ways that makes sense. Something you seem to lack. If you’re curious as to how his mind works and why he’s not as stupid as you think, check out Psyculturist. The way you talk makes you sound ignorant. At least Subaru doesn’t have some form of heightened self importance like you seem to think. For some reason you think you’re “smart”, cuz you think he acts stupid. And you’re not smart.

      He is smart though
      1. Read the actual Crusch camp negotiations, he had to figure out that Crusch was recruiting an army to fight the white whale, figure out that Roswaal had given Rem the rights to negotiations and the only way Crusch would listen to him would be if he managed to convince Rem to give him that, had to then negotiate with Anastasia and the royal banker of Lugunica at once, then after doing all of that he still had to make up a story that is technically correct to fool Crusch's blessing of the wind and he did all of that in a single loop. I am also missing in a lot of stuff that make this feat even greater but i recommend you read it yourself
      2. He is outright stated to be a child prodigy multiple times and the only reason for his downfall was his loss of concentration to the right path. In arc 7, we finally get a glimpse at what a child Subaru was like and its clear why he was called that. From manipulating an entire army to causing an uprising large enough to upturn Vollachia to basically becoming the progenitor of destruction.
      3. He also managed to destroy Echidna and Roswaal's 400 yr long plan, those 2 are smart enough to predict and control all events of 4 centuries.
      4. Managed to convince beatrice to leave the mansion. This is a major feat due to how difficult it would be to change someone's mind after 400 yrs of trauma
