Oh man finally this masterpiece of an episode!

Just Mate

So with this episode we got a huge candidate for Emilias potential mother: Minerva We already know that Emilia had an elven father and a human mother, so quite a few people (like Satella) are basically out of the question already. Minerva does know Emilia and her mother, but her reactions in their conversations, like her crying when Emilia said that Fortuna is her mother, further cements a deeper connection. Interestingly Minerva and Emilia have virtually identical eye shapes and eyelashes which is too convinient to not have a meaning. Minerva being the mother of Emilia would also explain why Emilia has been called witches daughter before. There are apparently more points that come up later on which do help cement this theory, but it's still overall just a theory.

Minerva is not her mother, don't confuse him more. The point could be that Minerva and Satella were good friends and she misses her, that could explain that scene.

FullHeart

Ill say this as it's kind of the opposite of spoiling: Emilia's mother's identity has never been confirmed so far. All we have are theories, and for the same reasons as you came up with watching this episode a lot of people theorize that Minerva (Witch of Wrath) could be Emilia's mother. They do certainly have some features that are similar, and Minerva is wearing clothes similar to the elves despite being a human. It would fit with her having a human mother and elf father.

Dust explosion is a real world thing, high concentration of small particulates in the air like flour can combust when near flame, causing an explosion

2024-01-22 18:04:15 Peak episode. Also I wouldn’t say anyone is blinded by how this season ends it’s down to personal preference overall in world building and character development this season has been massive

Not only lines for season 3, but for season 4, season 5... there is a lot of lines in this trial that even in the novels we didnt see happening yet

>>127645571

But it has to be FLAMMABLE, like flour. Just throwing a random bag of room dust just... well, what happened here. Nothing.

Micheal Magnuson

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure at least some of the futures that were shown to Emilia were parts of the Re:Zero IF stories

OneTrueReason

Dust explosions are a real thing. It happens when there's a lot of flammable particles in suspension on the air. This has been most notoriously seen in flour warehouses. A flame can ignite flour particles midair and then a chain reaction occurs. The spread of the flame displaces air rapidly which causes an explosion. Subaru threw a flour sack not only over the mabeast, but over the lit candle on the floor. Guess there wasn't enough flour, the flour was moist, or the room was too ventilated to cause an explosion.

HorriblyUnoriginal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_explosion Fine particles like dust and flour, when dispersed in the air in an enclosed area, can explode if ignited. That's what Subaru was trying to do, but it didn't work.

2024-01-22 21:08:28 Luke, just a quick reminder. -When Emilia entered Echidna's grave she didn't recognize her, because she lost the memories of the trial, and what happened there. She knew about Echidna in general, but only from what the others in the Sanctuary told her. It was different for Subaru, because if you remember, he asked Echidna if he could not forget about the trial events. -Roswaal only pretended to be injured. Also Puck isn't contracted to anyone, he's a free spirit, so that makes him a bit weaker i guess.

Luca Bellan

- Subaru tried to male a dust explosion... forgot he's not Senku in this anime - w Well... I don't actually know for certain at the point I'm in, but I agree with your speculation about Emilia-Minerva relationship. I mean, both Echidna and Pandora called Emilia "Witch's daughter", and since Emilia is half-elf and her father is an elf her mother should be human... - yes, this episode is an absolute masterpiece. (Song is Rie Murakawa - what you don't know)

Why dont you just explain the entire show? Or do people not get to enjoy shit anymore?

ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΣ ΒΥΡΓΙΩΤΗΣ

I really love your reactions to these episodes!!! Next episode is arguably one of the best of season 2 so i can't wait to see how you'll react to it!!

Karen Porter

My thought on the whole "but Roswal is supposed to be injured!" thing. What if he really wasn't that injured, and was just faking it to get Subaru and Emilia there as a distraction? He was lying about being injured the entire time and just manipulating everything to go his way. When it comes to vampires, it depends on the lore of those specific vamps... World Of Darkness vampires' bite won't change the victim, but Twilight's vampires, they're filled with "venom" and even a little scrape will change the victim. Either way, most vampires just kill their victims so it doesn't really matter lol.

Jay P

I love S2 a bit more because I love the flashbacks and backstories, especially Emilia's and Subaru's. But the diffrerence is miniscule. and of course the ending kicks ass, you have not seen anything yet

mjaomjao2

Personally I think part 1 of season 2 (ep 1-13) are the best part of the re zero anime. if they do season 3 justice though it's going to be even better.

ArtKi

25:15 "Right, vampire?" Luke, now you know why the commenters LOST THEIR MINDS when, somewhere back in 1x02-04, you called Elsa a vampire. 36:12 So far as I understand, from reading far too many comments in Re:Zeo reactions, Roswall didn't sent the Witch's Cult after the Demons. BUT, he knew they were going attack and did nothing to stop them until he saved Ram and Rem - after all the other Demons were dead. 37:51 Puck scared and distracted Roswall because he tricked Roswall into thinking Puck was in his FINAL FORM - The Beast of the End.

Joshua Lopez

The insert song at the end is "Anata no Shiranai koto" or "What You Don't Know" by Rie Murakawa, Ram's Voice Actor. It's easier to find on YouTube searching by the English translated name. Edit: I just love all the VA's insert songs, really. Door by Emilia's VA from season 2 episode 15, Wishing by Rem's VA from season 1 ep 18. Doing a reaction to all of these with the context of the Roswaal fight, the kiss, and the Rem speech would probably make for a good video.

Kyla

That...that speechless reaction, is what makes a great anime.... I hate and Love that feeling at the same time.... Even after 25 years ... I'm still in a Love/Hate relashionship with this bs...ahhhhh

Thiago Serra
>>127643878

PtoZorro, we dont know, man. Minerva being her mother is a possibility. Satella being emilias mother is more unlikely than minerva

Anonymous
>>127646198

I always thought it didn't work due to a difference in natural laws between the Re:zero world and the real world, hence why Otto (who's quite knowledgeable about many things) had no idea what Subaru was even trying to do.

Bobby Vang

Minerva is actually one of the kindest of the witches. Yet she's the witch of Wrath.

Anonymous
>>127646883

This is confusing, but Emilia really does remember Echidna from the trials, since in the novel she later mentions that she remembers her interactions with her, the real reason why Emilia does not recognize Echidna in this scene is because her face in reality it is not the same as in its castle of dreams and trials. It is a strange and confusing reaction since Emilia does not mention anything about her clothes and hair being the same, but the truth is that she does not recognize her because her face is different and this is revealed in chapter 25

FraaD

idk just funny in this season every new female character with sus show up Luke be like : "is this girl Emilia Mother ?" Satella .Fortuna .Echidna , even Puck and now Minerva Cant wait next Season with another "is this girl Emilia Mother ?" Luke suspicion again lol

Some0neElse

I AM A T O M I C ! ~Roswaal

Marvin Gulizia

Time for a little fun fact. This song this episode during the Ram fight was Sung by the Voice Actor of Ram, it all says "aishiteru" a lot which means that she really loves him. The song that played during Emilia and Subarus Kiss was sung by Emilias Voice Actor. The Song that played during Rems Confession to Subaru was sung by Rems Voice Actos. Thats why re zero is goated once again.

James Perrott
>>127648407

Rowaal literally said he lead the events of season 1 to happen with the witches cult attacking the village and mansion. Yes he did send the witches cult after Rem and Rams village too

James Perrott
>>127648506

Next episode minor spoilers it forever brings me pain that they all get amazing insert songs yet next episode Beatrice doesnt get one of her own, she absolutely deserved it, even moreso than ram, the ending song is amazing but she shouldve had her own

James Perrott
>>127649205

garfiel isnt a werewolf lol that has never been said, his form is clearly a humanoid tiger not a wolf, with fredirica also being not a wolf. yeah its similar to a wearwolf, but it is never said that she couldnt heal there

ArtKi
>>127645712

Yeah, I assumed that. Thanks for the confirmation.

ArtKi
>>127648407

That's what I mean. I've seen comment and comment (from people read the LNs) that what Roswall MEANT was that he knew but didn't prevent. He felt that not stopping them was the same as ordering them. Whatever. I'll find out when I get around to reading the LNs.

Bobby Vang

Ram's song still hits hard. You need to listen to all the OSTs from the Voice Actresses. Emilia, Rem, and Ram all sing their own song. You can easily find them on YouTube.

Honky

I think the part with elsa touching her neck was to show she could no longer regenerate, as garf did literally kill her so many times to the point she reached her final death, to which she said was wonderful probably due to her love of fighting and finally reaching a good death

Kyle Garrett

My theory is that while Emilia has real parents, she was modified in the womb. I think that the Witches in the Graveyard fled there to escape Vanity, and to escape her they needed a key that could not only lock Vanity out, but also give the witches a way to eventually leave the graveyard. I think Emilia is the child they created, and given how happy Minerva was about the 'scheme' working out after Emilia said Fortuna was her mother, I assume Echidna picked out the child's father, knowing that using him would pull that entire elf tribe into protecting the key. I also assume that as the key, Emilia has a little bit of all the Graveyard witches inside her, which is why the Cultists seemed to worship her. If that's the case then Emilia probably can do A LOT more than just ice magic. So if I'm right all the witches view Emilia as their child to some extent, since a part of each of them is inside her (which I guess would make her technically a disciple of them all too?). So Echidna got upset and emotional seeing Emilia focused on her 'real' family, while Minerva got emotional just seeing Emilia and hearing Emilia wanted to spend time with them all. Probably way off the mark (and I'm anime only so no spoilers) but so far that's where my head is at.

StrykerEvol

Subaru tried to produce a dust explosion. That's actually a real thing. A dust explosion is a rapid combustion of fine particles suspended in the air within an enclosed location. It can occur when any dispersed powdered combustible material is present in high-enough concentrations in the atmosphere or other oxidizing gaseous medium, such as pure oxygen. Subaru's execution was faulty however, hence it didn't work. The density of dust particles was not high enough, there was to much ventilation due to the damaged walls and the candles where not in contact with the dust. Therefore the dust could not ignite.

Katerflori

what a banger of an episode. I've got goosebumps all over

_____ Rasse _____
>>127646883

This is wrong! Emilia can remember Echidna, and the reason she doesn't recognize her is because of her face.

whyyyy hello<3

LordDanzo
>>127645712

Since it's only lines of possible futures, isn't there a chance that we'll never hear some of those lines again?

Wiznoot123

You know an anime and studio are truly cooking when they put in their own self insert OSTs and end the episode cutting to black and roll the credits when the song is at its climax. That end scene gives me chills everytime and when the credits roll. Just like episode 15 of season 1 just absolute wtf did I just watch reaction.

LordDanzo

You might be right that the end of the seasons stick more with people, but that doesn't mean that early episodes are bad. Sometimes, in order for those last episodes to be good, the early episodes need to be slower in order to build up to a climax. So while in your head early episodes are bad and last episodes are good, it's the early episodes setting up the stage for the last episodes to be great.

Damaton

The next episode has one of my favourite scenes i cant wait for it

Pyzlnar

> Did Roswaal order the cult to attack their village? No it's more like he is the part of the "cause" because he knew it was gonna happen (because of the Book of Wisdom) and didn't do anything to help until he could retrieve Ram & Rem. So he allowed everything to happen up to the point where it was convenient for him.

Jonas Teigen

Ram`s VA was singing the ost at the end of the episode, soooo good.

Matthew Williams

Luke remember what Lloyd did in the first episode of Spy X Family when he set that trap for the kidnappers with flour? This was that, he tried to set up a dust explosion, it didn't work.

StrykerEvol

After RE:Zero and Overlord, maybe you could fit in Isekai Quartet somewhere, since you watched all 4 main anime of that crossover. Those are just funny short episodes and one movie. So they wont fit any of the usual slots. At least not for many streams. Maybe it's something for in between.

2024-01-22 21:08:28 If you didn't catch it, the real reason Puck broke his contract with Emilia wasn't to give her the memories back, but because of Roswaal's spell. Puck returned, identified the spell and the way it left Emilia constantly doubting herself, and so Puck had no choice but to break the contract to save Emilia. Also yes, Roswaal saved Rem and Ram but also caused the destruction of their village. He has a weird habit of hurting the people he 'helps' doesn't he? After all he's trying to help Emilia, while simultaneously trying to leave her totally isolated (removing puck, cultists to kill people at the mansion + bunnies for the villagers). Oh and on the top of Roswaal, remember back in S1 how Ram and him would sit together at night and he'd be using magic on her forehead? He was trying to heal her horn. Ironic that his efforts to heal the horn + him filling the area with fire, led to the destruction of his most valuable possession.

Alvaro Zevallos

anime only: i have the theory that Minerva is emilia's mother. And one thing that i just noticed in your reactions was, at the end of the trial (past) there was a blur image of a child with a blonde woman and a silver-white hair man. that fits all the ideas plots. that elf was emilia's father and minerva is his mother.

Jason Tam

"Roswell is a copycat." haha funny you say that.

Alvaro Zevallos

luke saying this is peak, even without reaching next ep. Poor guy, he's gonna pass out next chapter then.

Tamus Heath
>>127646172

This is correct, some of those lines occur in the side stories (IF stories). They're very cool to check out and there are spoiler free YouTube explanations of them available. You're free to check out all of them except Gluttony at this point.

Rem is best waifu

Hopefully season 3 comes back before the end of the year.

Alvaro Zevallos
>>127648407

i want spoilers, why is the final form so important? we've seen it in the past (frozen bonds) right?

Maciek

Raaam ;_;

js

I feel like showing you many different horrible futures is actually less traumatizing than showing exactly one. Many means that the future is not set in stone, and there may be many possible happy futures as well. Showing exactly one would imply that this is what will happen and you can't stop it, which would be far more terrifying. Was it up to Echidna to decide what she would see? If so, I think she could've done much worse, but she chose not to. Very fine flour (and other combustible "dust") can explode when it ignites while dispersed into the air. The mechanics of the sanctuary got a bit too much attention in this season in my opinion, with its purpose being rather convoluted rather than mind-blowing. The other annoying thing to me was Garfiel being a ping-pong ball. I feel like we never truly understood why he acted the way he did, even though it spanned quite a lot of episodes. But the end of the season has been great.

Illiterate Mochi
>>127646198

Im guessing it’s because what he threw wasn’t flour or any other kind of flammable dust.

Anonymous

I believe roswaal was just pretending to be injured in order to put himself out of comission so subaru wouldnt ask for roswaals help. After subaru told him that he knew, he started acting less and less injured every time they talked

2024-01-22 21:25:54 I like season 2 better because subaru is NOT a pain in the ass like he was in s1. There were reasons to HATE subaru s1 but love subaru s2. I believe you like s1 cuz of the horror, you said you enjoy horror. And s1 is def more horrifying. I personally like it because the betty scenes that have to come are so good that I think it makes up for s2. We received so much info in s2, that we went from "dude die and re:do" to "this story is HUGE and there are a TON of secrets to discover". It what made re:zero be more than re:zero. Made in abyss s2 didn't the make show bigger than it was. It was just same stuff just 5x slower pace. You do unfair comparison, AOT s3 final is what changed "AOT" from 'Titans' to "HOLY FK THIS SHOW IS BIG". And I feel like s2 evolved re:zero while, made in abyss s2, didn't evolve the show itself.

Kager

There were some line's from IF's and I'm so hyped about it... I wish they'd make those into OVA's or something god, maybe in 2030 hopefully

Link

Regarding Elsa and the feeling her neck thing. Think of what she said her power was earlier. Meanwhile Garfiel kept getting wounded and suddenly the bite wound on his neck was gone. It's vaguely hinted what happened but I feel it's enough to put the pieces together.

Maltheus

Luke, are you planning on reacting to the Re:Zero season 3 trailer when you're done with season 2? If so, that would be very cool.

Maltheus
>>127663206

Yeah, I've kept myself from watching videos on the IF-routes just in case they may be adapted in the future, but I got to admit that it's hella tempting. Honestly, White Fox has done an excellent job with Re:Zero, but they're not very fast when it comes to the production side of things. Maybe Re:Zero deserves a "Studio Bind" of sorts, aka a studio that exclusively works on everything Re:Zero-related, maybe even White Fox could become such a studio.

axilir21
>>127660220

I personally wouldn't mind if they take more time, season 3 is likely going to be more than 25 episodes so as long as they keep the quality, I don't mind waiting until 2025

axilir21
>>127657437

Yeah the only one missing on top of my head is Shield Hero but he's not really impactful in isekai quartet so it doesn't matter

nik

Luke, I really agree with you with your thoughts of season 2. The plot of season 1 is better than season 2, but the reason why i'd have season 2 over season 1 is mostly because of the amount of lore and character development in it. It was incredibly good, especially in the books where they go wayyyy deeper into it. Also, Roswaal forcing Subaru to choose between saving the sanctuary or the mansion and cornering Subaru was one part of the plot that really got me loving it to the moon and back. Those are the reasons why I'd have season 2 above season 1. Although i'm gonna be honest, season 3 has arcs 5 and 6 and both those arcs are quite literally at least 100x better than both season 1 and 2 combined. If the adaptation is done correctly, it'll be peak fiction. It will actually play with your feelings and make you feel all sorts of things.

Toasterfinal5

So Glad you will be watching all three Anime’s in the order that of the number of votes each had. In the case for Demon Slayer, hopefully, by the time you watch it, the upcoming season will be concluded.

Toasterfinal5

Gosh Darn it, how in the world can we get enough interest from the community to get Luke to react to the remaining, unwatched AOT OVA’s? I may suffer the same fate of Mr. Beyblade. 😂 Surly after waiting so Patiently with Ergo Proxy’s OP & ED, anything is possible.

StrykerEvol
>>127657437

Indeed. Overcautious Hero is also there. But only in 2 small cameos. Maybe that will change in the future for both. But right now, it's not essential to watch those 2 first.

Arctic

I though I just had is what if...Minerva is the daughter of Emilia. Kinda a weird idea to put out there, but if timey wimey stuff is in play it could be.

ArtKi
>>127648407

Anime only, don't have spoilers. Besides Frozen Bonds we also saw Beast of the End at the start of 1x18 and in this season when Reinhard killed him during Subaru's "Present" trial. Why so important? I'm guessing Puck is STUPID powerful in that form - he can destroy the world, after all. Did you see the look on Roswaal's face. He Was Shook.

Emilis2023

I liked season 1, but I liked season 2 a lot more. And not just the end though this is one of my favorite episodes. I liked the trials though. Especially Emilia's. I've got no issue with them being pseudo-flashbacks because heck, not only did we not know these pasts, but even Emilia and most everyone didn't know, so I think the characters experiencing them will impact the story. Heck, the whole Pandora bit is probably going to become one of the most important details in the future I'd wager. She's got vibes like the Emperor behind Darth Vader. Everyone's all worried about the Witch of Envy, when she's probably the real mastermind.

Melafurina
>>127665781

That’s not how Vampires work on rezero bro. Vampires are basically just sentient puppets who heal in this world, there’s no importance to the neck scene aside from the sexual like embrace the two of them were in to fit the theme of the fight and the fact her healing finally ran out

Dethrox

yeah,.. i think i like season 1 better than season 2 but most likely due to Rem not being in season 2 AND also season 2 is basically just the mansion and sanctuary while in season 1 we were in a lot of places :D not saying i dislike season 2 no way.. s2 is great^^

Thamor
>>127673340

Season 2 is more character building for all the people in the mansion, we got already Rem's character done in season 1. I think season 3 will finally start progressing what is actually main story for Re:Zero.

Thamor

First thing before clicking Luke video MUTE/SOUND OFF because of that scream he always does. Garfiel fight is such a good scene in this season 2.

Dethrox

oooomg.. we finally.. have demon slayer on the watchlist lets goo.. :DD took forever but we have it lol

Anonymous

Tbh, I always held season one as peak. Nothing could top everything that season one did. There was an episode in season 2 that tried to do what "The outside of madness" did, that just didnt hit the same. However, your reaction to s2 changed that. There are so many moments I took for granted in s2 comparing it to season 1 but when watching it again with your reaction I started realizing just how many of those moments there are, alongside all the new details and etc.

Thamor
>>127662863

Honestly season 2 had more horror or at least equal amount. Season 1 just feels more horror, because it's the first time understanding how horrible Subaru suffering is to follow, but season 2 was the most brutal for Subaru. Comparing seasons I really never understand that, you can say the seasons are different. But this season 2 is very clearly character build-up for all the characters in the mansion that we learned in season 1. Rem got her character build up with Subaru, but we needed Emilia, Ram, Betty & Roswaal have their own stories revealed so we can understand the main plot for Re:Zero better throught these characters.

Thamor
>>127663206

We will never be alive if they do full story animated + side stories, better start teaching your children about Re:Zero so they can finish it for you.

Eliana
>>127645571

The powder was supposed to be flour, but it just didn't work, either because it just didn't get lit, it was too little, or it was way too windy

Fabien

Now you know how Elsa survived Reinhard's crazy mega attack in the beginning of season 1. I can't wait to see Reinhard fight again, I hope it'll be in season 3, that guy seems abusively strong, like he's actually the great hero of Re:Zero's world or something. The guy did beat Elsa and full power Puck (alternate universe) so easily. Anyway, no the anime didn't "forget" about Roswaal's state, but Puck is severely nerfed here. As you can see, he can't really create his OP form he just fought with his "cute" form.

Matthew Nichols
>>127660220

Unlikely since they'll be working on Sengoku Youko across the course of the whole year (37 episodes with a 1 season break in the middle) and White Fox tends to only work on one thing at a time. So I think it's safe to expect it to start in 2025.

Hatoma
>>127658036

I was thinking the same thing, but you forgot a thing. Fortuna told Emilia like 50 times "You have the same purple eyes as your mother". And Minerva has Blue eyes.

scalien

The point you make about the last 4 episodes coloring the rest of season is valid. However! Season 2 improves amazingly on a rewatch. All the little threads that add up to this ending are just a joy to watch and it elevates each episode in the season. Yes, this is true of season one, but nowhere to the extent it does for two. Now. For people who only watch shows once, and I understand the time sink of rewatching shows, rewatching rezero season 2 is amazing. I highly recommend the experience. That is why, for me, season 2 is much, much better. (yes, I acknowledge season one does the grunt work of setting things up for season 2. )

Precisely! It's the build up in the end that makes a scene so great. Without a whole season building up to this episode and the next, it would not have had the same emotional impact. Build up is everything!

Well, even if that's not the case, which has not been explained in the anime, there has to be some significance to the fact her wounds stopped healing after the bites and Garfiel's did.

So about the Roswaal, Puck, Ram fight. They didn't forget about Roswaal's injuries, he just lied. Specifically, he greatly exaggerated them. You actually saw multiple other people, and a 'Parachute', go into the trial and walk out relatively unscathed compared to Roswaal. Hell after Subaru lost his qualification he went in and had an entire convo with Emilia while just taking the rejection/punishment thingy like a champ. Compared to Roswaal everyone else that went in and came out fine are bottom tier bitches in terms of power levels, so yeah, he lied. Purely for the sake of dropping Subaru's guard, inflicting more emotional trauma, and for some shenanigans. Also, Puck is a bit nerfed due to the contract stuff.

I know your problem. you keep taking roswall at his word lol

the dust thing. Flour is highly flammable, so if heh threw flour, there'd be a huge explosion.

I'm going with because they said Satella absorbed the other witches at one point in season 1, that maybe Emilia is like all of the witches daughters, but each has different feelings about her

250 kph. Still accelerating. So, Minerva. Nothing conclusive yet there, I'm afraid. To quote Echidna, "I'm just saying it's a possibility." There are some things in the webnovel and light novel that mention that Minerva had a good relationship with the Elves of Ellior Forest, but there was also some information that made it seem she was very close to Satella 400 years ago. Really, it's still anybody's guess. Technically, it could be Echidna, which might explain some of the hatred she has for Emilia. It probably isn't Daphne (touching her would be tantamount to suicide as anyone getting that close would probably get eaten), Carmilla (don't know how true this is, but Carmilla is reported to be a virgin... which makes sense, as Faceless Bride can make people forget to breathe), or Pride (because, ew!). It would be just like Tappei to throw a curve-ball and have it be Pandora, but that seems highly unlikely given Guese's and Fortuna's attitudes towards her. So, it could be Sekmet, Minerva, or somebody else we haven't been introduced to yet. I read one thread in Reddit that said Emilia might be a clone of Satella. I really can't get my head around that one, but we know that Ryuzu Meyer was used to make clones, so why not? The only thing we have been told by the author (several times) is that Satella and Emilia are NOT the same person. No time-travel shenanigans in that regard... but Return by Death is kinda like time-travel, so Tappei might be fucking with us again here. Roswall did not have the Witch's Cult attack Ram and Rem's village. He just didn't do anything until after the attack, which he knew about because of his Tome of Wisdom. For whatever reason, Ram knew about this fact (maybe Roswall told her, maybe she sussed it out on her own), and Roswall does feel responsible for it happening. There were a few other details from this episode that Luke asked after, but a lot of them would be spoilers so I'll end this here. Luke, once you've taken a few weeks to process, I (and hopefully more than a few other people) would love to see you do some kind of follow up on the series so far. I recommend using Re:Zero in 8 minutes as an excuse to do that. Only covers season one, but it's fucking hilarious and a nice pallet cleanser. Maybe combine that with a rewatch of the openings and endings if you want more than a 15 minute video.  Overlord is gonna be fun. Nothing nearly so traumatic as this series has been, but it's got a lot going for it. Demon Slayer though... that's one I'm really looking forward to your reactions for.

Daniel Turchan

In the beginning, he tries to blow up the mabeast with a bowl of flour or dust or some kind of fine particle… when you have an open flame, a dispersal of fine particles can easily catch and send a chain reaction and all burst into flames. Try if for yourself in a fire safe place, blow a stream of flour or something similar into a flame and watch it set ablaze. A YouTuber made a gasless flame thrower using the same concept with a water bottle, a straw and a lighter. Also, The feeling u said u love to get, the reason we watch shows, that’s the reason I don’t like overlord, it didn’t make me feel anything, plz don’t watch overlord, and those of u voting it, WHY?? I’m legit so confused. I hope Luke likes it bc it looks like that’s what he’s going to next, but I’ll tell u, I sure didn’t. 👎 And I know this is another anime time slot but I hope u watch HunterXHunter soon, I think you will especially like that one, it’s a 10/10 show, I hope you enjoy.

Ttsukasa

Hi Luke, I want to say something, I've been wanting to say this but not sure how to say it. I like that you skip the op/ed to series a lot, but I feel that you are doing yourself a disservice to shows like Re:Zero because it literally incorporates the OP / ED into the episodes themselves and skipping past them at those times is a bit sad. When you do react to them, I feel you'll have lost the emotional build up they premiered in. Even so, can't wait. Finally, Roswaal claimed he was injured, surely anyone can PRETEND THEY ARE HURT IN ORDER TO FURTHER TRAP SUBARU. And a correction: Ros didn't say he'd lose to Garfiel, He said it'd get messy/ loud/ etc and he simply wanted to have a chat with Subaru at the time, not blow up half the forest killing Garfield and Ram.

I went and re-read this part in the LNs in JP. When Roswaal refers himself as the "cause" in the original text they use 一因 (one of the causes) and 減員に関わる男 (man involved with the cause). So yeah he had something to do with the cause, which is still unspecified but not the direct cause. (Maybe in a sense, similar to how Echidna calls herself "involved with Beatrice's birth", but not her mother) At the very least Im fairly confident that Roswaal is NOT a witch cultist. Their objectives would not align. (I also don't remember Puck saying that?)

Pyzlnar
>>127657265

And to be honest, given how he works with the Book of Wisdom, I wouldn't be surprised if he did moves that enticed the witch's cult to attack the Ogre's village. It's pretty much what he did to indirectly cause the Witch's Cult attack on his own manor.

BRUNO Marques

I agree s1 was stronger. S2 was incredibly easy to solve and get a good ending. Subaru took an extra 5 episodes to figure it out, and the audience is just waiting. Ask for help, support your loved ones and have some confidence. It's just frustrating having to deal with such a damaged MC. He doesn't even learn the lesson next season...

BRUNO Marques
>>127649530

Her wrath is directed at something else. She is the most violent of the witches in that regard and probably caused the most damage as collateral.

Hi luke, just wanna mention if no one did you were talking about Dona's contract there is a "If" series of re zero. It's basically if subaru takes another way like if he takes Dona's hand or if he becomes an arch bishop or fan favorite if rem said yes when subaru said lets run away. They are not animated but you can watch them on another creators youtube or read the light novels. Where i am coming is if subaru made the contract with dona this woud never happen. there woudnt be garfiels resolution, emilia's or anyone really and he woud kill himself for just basic things like in novel he did "subaru asked echidona how is the wether today and she said i dont know yet so he summoned his assasin Elsa and asked her how is the wether and she said its partly cloudy then subaru tossed couple of gold coins to elsa and asked her kill himself then after returning by death dona said it is partly clody today." this is the extend how she will use him, she only thinks about herself and the optimal end same goes for every single witch. I strongly reccomend if you liked the re zero check youtuber called echidnut and his if videos they are quite nice to listen and they will answer quite a lot of your questions about "what woud happen if he didnt do that" my reccomendation is the purge king subaru it is amazing.

Also don't forget that season 1 was so condensed and butchered, arc 3 was almost as long as S2 and yet it was only 13 episodes. That's why S2 feels slower. I prefer the pace of S2.

If it was just that simple, he would have done so. Dying isn't an option, remember.

well reddit also says emilia is accually can be satella aswell but i think satella accually might be a version of emilia that subaru failed her outfit is like a mourning dress full of black and all. Maybe at the end of the story there is a loop subaru accually cant save anyone or needed to be sacrifice one for all so she is trying to save subaru. Seems like far fetch but still can be the issueç

TBH with all the who is Emilia's mother comments here both from Luke and from everyone here yours here is the most interesting and best I've heard. Having read the LNs, manga and watched the anime it's undoubtedly true none of the witches could be Emilia's mother but this idea that they manipulated her DNA in utero is actually surprising to think about and it almost seems plausible that the witches could do something like that. Kudos to your brilliant theory my man!

Lichmourne
>>127703161

The only reason it's "simple" to solve is because of all the info he gathered from dying. The amount of luck that was involved as well was ridiculous. Everything was against Subaru. The Mansion is being attacked by assassins, bunnies eating the village, and roswal causing Emilia to go crazy. Tell me where it's obvious that getting in contact with Puck would dispell a spell on Emilia that Subaru doesn't even know she has. Like come on. Lol

Patrizek
>>127699415

Overlord's not as serious as re:zero nor as goofy as konosuba. It's like a fine line in between. And now that we are nearing the end of something serious like re:zero in this slot, i would not mind something like overlord at all.

Hehe imagine if this was season finale, how blueballing would that be? I got my ideas about who Minerva and Puck are and their relation to Emilia, but I don't want to accidentally spoil anything. Let it cook. Elsa and Garfield fight. WooOOO Boy! That was getting to the R18 category. 2 people pinned together wrestling, biting each other, tearing each other apart, trying to kill each other, swapping bodily fluids like blood. IDK how you can get any more close and personal than that. I bet Elsa fell in love right there and then. Totally understand the ending making the season thing. I feel the same way with the second seasons of Jujutsu kaisen, code geass, and rezero. First half of juju was eh, but the crazy battles at the end. Holy crap what a transformation! The entire series just changed. I don't like code geass season 2 as much as the first season, but the ending was PERFECT! Rezero felt slow and focused too much in the sanctuary like watching someone trying to escape a locked room for many days in a row. These ending episodes though >;P

L.C.

The way you judge seasons is pretty stupid tbh. Season 2 of re zero and season 2 of made in abyss is way better

L.C.

You aren't getting anywhere by constantly bringing it up. It just sounds dumb.

L.C.

To each their own I guess. I will never be able to understand how weird it is how you judge seasons. You pay attention to everything besides what you want to look at and judge from that standpoint. It has nothing to do with how a season ends.

L.C.
>>127786210

I can't lie and say it doesn't annoy me when you say those certain things. I understand everyone has their own perspective but at this point i am just gonna end up skipping over that kind of stuff because it boggles my mind how someone thinks like that when every aspect down to the writing, characters, story developments, etc.... is better in the 2nd season of an anime but you still come out with the outcome of thinking season 1 is still way better. The same thing here is the same thing that happened with made in abyss.

L.C.

Some things have to be spelled out multiple times throughout the season for you to get some of this stuff. You literally don't catch on otherwise bro.

Xaniss

i do believe Roswaal was overexagerating his injuries A LOT.

Xaniss

Rem and Ram are 17 i believe, same age a Subaru, if i remember right (could be wrong) Emilia is 18 or 19. (excluding the time she was frozen i guess)

Xaniss

i personally DOUBT Elsa is actually dead.

Ttsukasa
>>127786671

Or... at all? lol I'm not sure how many times he's asked like a basic question... "Is Echidna the witch of envy???!!!!!" ..... "still no, still she isn't sir, still she literally introduces herself otherwise" "IS THE WITCH OF VANITY THE WITCH OF GREED?"... "wait what...??? how???" "WHO IS SHE? SHE SO STRONG!"... "she... vanity... she just said it... why?" "BUT WHO IS GREED?"....

Ttsukasa
>>127786671

or at all right? He somehow misses a lot of details... "Has Ram had a horn before? Who had the horn?"

Daniel Golas

Roswaal was weak before because he used up his mana to call the bunnies

James Courtney

This episode is why I’m on the “Minerva is Emilia’s mom” bandwagon, also that we know where the witch’s died (it was in the LN version of this but was skipped and implies that Satella maybe didn’t kill them as they were killed in different times as in years apart at least.) Note: Minerva was killed in Elior Forest… interesting that’s where Emilia was…

You are more upset about my comments than I was when making them. I don't deny that I was overreacting a little but it was more confusing and complaining about hardheadedness than anything else. Never understood his problems with made in abyss and will never understand his problems with re zero. Lmao I think its funny that you are getting upset over my comments. Piss who off? Just piss you off. You are the one getting super upset over them buddy. If I didn't at least appreciate some of the things he does I wouldn't be paying him on patreon monthly even if its only like a dollar. Its still supporting him.

Some of these people commenting have a case of shonen jump brain rot. The reasons you gave for why season 1 is better is just as dumb as the reasons Luke gives.

Nobody really cares for your opinion. Just let him like what he likes and don't comment on subjective matters like its the absolute truth

Anon

actually your minerva theory of her being her mom is a theory that a lot of people have

CoreTendency

And this is why Anime enjoyers feel awkward talking about these shows: We're emotionally invested in the relationships between beast people, ogres, fairies, cat spirits, and magicians in clown makeup that talk like weirdos. But when you're in the midst of it, none of that seems quite so weird.

Jesus bro, like stfu, you kiss your mom with that mouth? No one gives a flying fuck, keep the unnecessary remarks to yourself. Like you aren't adding anything to the video or the discussion by calling him stupid, it's just unnecessary and uncalled for. Self projection much? Anyways, go learn some basic manners, and start treating people online with the same basic level of respect as you'd treat a stranger with in real life (I know your dog ass wouldn't even DARE to say some of this shit to someone eye to eye without the security of hiding behind your crusty sticky ass screen). If you seriously get so unbelievably mad that Luke occasionally misses some shit and that he sometimes annoys you, then you're literally free to do anything else lol.

Tom Boggess

he though he would initiate a flour powder explosion. It's a well-known phenomenon that flour mills in the past had to exercise extreme caution to prevent.

Tom Boggess

in the original dracula by Bram Stoker, being bitten by a vampire does not automatically turn you into a vampire. If the vampire drinks enough of your blood that you die. You then get reanimated as a vampire. But if you get a transfusion so that you don't die you remain a human

Harley Burnie

Btw, there is a sick video by....Echidnut, maybe? that breaks down the "Future Trial" and I don't recall it being spoilers. It's just discussing who was talking and what it may pertain to. Like that shot of Emilia in the apocalyptic future us clearly the Capital. You can definitely see the streets and buildings that we saw in season 1. I'm caught up on the LNs, and I still have hella curiosity about these voices Emilia hears!

Harley Burnie

9:15 I hear lines the are absolutely to do with season 3, but not too many.

Harley Burnie

15:15 Man. I don't remember it well at all, but I do recall that Minerva's otherworldly strength has some heartbreaking catalyst. Well, before season 3 starts, I'll have to refresh!

Harley Burnie

38:00 I just LOVE that grimace of terror and regret on Roswaal's face the moment he thinks Puck took on his WorldEnder form. To see someone as cocky and greedy and unscrupulous as Roswaal feels helpless, even just for 3 seconds....mmmhhhh, that shite is good!

Harley Burnie

41:20 Luke, this which you're saying at this point, is not only the reason your content became an instant favorite for me, what with all the loud, passionate, intense reactions you give to anime, but that is why I watch anime at all! Every emotion that these stories intent on conveying, rage, mirth, sorrow, elation, horror, disgust, horny, inspiration, madness...I give my everything to ride these, witheverything I watch. Fiction is sacred for me, and anime is currently the medium I hold in the highest role in fulfilling that divine sensation of FEELING. I can't imagine anything but joy for the people who embrace endless stimulation and satisfaction in letting the anime bullshite just take you on a ride, a ride you won't find at work or while doing chores or wandering the world.

Stefan

I told you you're not ready for this episode, it is that kind of episode than you weren't ready for it not even after watching half of it. Poor Dio:( Garf Vampire?:))) Is Subaru still in this show? There is a batch of very good episodes right now, but this felt like a movie, similar to that episode from 1st season.

NitexKnight

Yeah I agree season 2 of re:zero isn't as good as season 1 overall. It's still good obviously and I'm a fan of it but some episodes drag on. The conversations tend to be too wordy sometimes which makes it bad for subtitles. I haven't read the manga but hopefully season 3 will have more action and less flashbacks.

Stevetheiguana
>>128399184

Original source material is actually light novel, not manga, which is probably why some parts get so dense with dialogue. Imo Arc 4 is better than the previous 3 arcs, but it's also the longest so far, which can make the pacing difficult for some people. The season didn't technically have a bunch of flashbacks, it's part of the trial of overcoming your past hangups essentially. Objectively speaking though, the production quality in S2 is worse than S1, but I think a lot of that had to do with COVID as it came out in 2020. Action isn't the selling point to Re:Zero, but Arc 5 will have more action than the rest of the arcs.

Stevetheiguana
>>127786110

Arc 4 of Re:Zero > Arcs 1-3 for sure. Pacing can get difficult for some I guess since it isn't as much action, and it's a very long arc. Production quality and consistency of S2 is not as good as S1 though, but that's largely due to COVID afaik. Hoping it'll get stepped up for S3

Hououin Kyouma

Subaru just said he is trying to make a dust explosion. Dust explosion requires combustible dust, oxygen, and an ignition source while in a confined space that can create pressure. In Subaru's mind, it's a cool way to beat the Mabeast because he is using his knowledge of science from his world. People in Re: Zero's world don't know about dust explosions so Otto and Petra thought it was some crazy thing for Subaru to do. As you can see Subaru wasn't able to make the dust explosion it might not have been triggered due to not having enough pressure in the room. Anyway, Subaru had a plausible reason to try it out even if didn't work. Seriously, how can you miss that he literally stated about "dust explosion." And you were making fun of him saying what Subaru thought would blind the Mabeast or something. Although if the dust explosion actually happened Subaru might have been get caught in it as well. So, in a way, it was a good thing the explosion didn't happen.
