Btw the old man's name was given in this episode: Wilhelm van Astrea. Also that whole "this guy has seen death" is an anime trope where some people can tell that someone's killed a lot of people or seen deaths.

Re watching this really makes me appreciate Subaru's journey towards becoming someone strong internally. It reminds me of Vinland Saga. I think Julius saved his life there.

So here they are. The dreaded episodes where a lot of people started disliking the show, maybe because they felt that discomfort when watching Subaru's actions unfold and translated it into "don't like the show". Loved your analysis about what he did, the characters in this show are complex. Basically all of them. Also, a couple things you seemed to struggle with: the witch and the dragon are NOT on the same side, the dragon is considered a benign entity, but Lugunica (the kingdom where the show takes place) is like forever indebted with the dragon because of his help and this does not sit well with some people. When you talked about potentially different people being summoned by different witches, I quote Beatrice "The witch of Envy devoured the other six witches who bore the name of the other capital sins. In this world when you refer to a witch you're always referring to the witch of Envy, Satella" So there WERE seven witches at some point in the past, but nowadays the six that were devoured have seen their importance drastically decreased. Also, a little thing that you're supposed to pick up in these two episodes but you skipped past because you were too focused on other details: the old man that was with Felix said that his name is Wilhelm van Astrea. And van Astrea is also Reinhard's family name, they call him that numerous times in the castle.

Subaru’s evolving relationship with Julius is one of the most satisfying character arcs in the anime. And of course, you can’t feel proper satisfaction from a journey to the PEAK unless you’re starting at the bottom!

Subaru really messed up but I understand him wanting to be there given he's the only one who can undo things if they go wrong and that meeting looked like it had high chances of something going wrong. Still, if he just had gone there and stayed quiet, Emilia would have probably let it slide, but he had to go all out like that...

Being several years older now, and also seeing your insights, I am definitely seeing, understanding, and appreciating the nuances in the writing and storytelling that I never noticed before. Pleasant surprise. Yeah, Subaru is a hurt traumatized reckless noble-intentioned misguided young man. You want him to be better but also cringe at how pathetic he's being, but also understand why he is the way he is. Very surprisingly grounded, and realistically ugly.

When did they say the dragon and the witch are in cahoots? I can't pinpoint where they said that lol.

Yeah so basically Subaru was entirely cringe in these two episodes (mainly because of his selfishness and his inability to grasp the seriousness of the situation). I'm glad you guys were cringing throughout those scenes because you were supposed to be. This is good character development. Subaru had to realize that it's not all about him, he's not some "main character" (wink) in a video game, and that Emilia is her own person with her own needs and desires. Julius did a damn good thing in these two episodes.
