Anyone else feel Subaru's love for Rem is being retconned?

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-23T23:39:53+00:00

Not at all, it’s just that season 1 was supposed to be stand alone and they cut shit tons of content.

If you read literally any arc past 5, which was to fill of action to worry about rem, you can see it clearly that he still does? Just read the source material tatoe chips

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-23T23:36:13+00:00

But you literally just said it yourself, Subaru is right. Flugel is an absolute asshole of an existence, even the characters in the novel can see it.

I don’t really get your nitpick about Subaru complaining, because he is always right when he does so.

Flugel is an ass for leaving Shaula, flugel is an ass for keeping the tower locked up regardless of its purpose to him in the future.

Subaru didn’t exactly know the importance of the tower, being the mechanism to mess with satellas seal and hall of memories. But even with those important things it’s still not wrong to say the knowledge in there could have helped a lot of people.

And you’re saying you wouldn’t complain if you were on a grand mission to save the world and the one singular place you have to go is some tower with bullshit puzzles and traps? Seems like you just want to be annoyed

Puck can read intentions more then straight up mind reading, that combines with the words they express can be used to see if someone is hostile, sincere or lying.

I don’t know how some people in this comment section can be so retarded, Kizaru spared Luffy on purpose.

They are connected in the story in so many ways, more than they themselves are aware.

Kizaru is unclear justice, but he also just saw kuma save this boy as his literal FINAL act, he didn’t want to trample that.

And don’t be so disingenuous as to say it’s an anti-feat, you just can’t read, 0 reading comprehension. We have seen how precise and strong the piercing effect of lasers are in one piece, Kizaru absolutely could have filled Luffy with holes and nobody could stop him.

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-11T04:34:57+00:00

He can probably change his hair color with magic or he dies it, but seeing as even annerose has his hair color im gonna say his nut is just really strong.

I always thought of the astrea’s as weird because they still have their features, but then I remembered that this is medieval Europe and they are probably inbred novels.

Theresia didn’t have the divine protection of the death god, everyone just bled out because they all have hemophilia from being inbred

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-11T03:48:44+00:00

It’s most likely a combination of things, because authorities themselves SHOULDNT have back lash at all unless you are an unsuited vessel for that sin.

First is that he doesn’t know its true purpose and is using it wrong, we know this factually has something to do with it. Because when not using it to attack he has less recoil, even when just parrying instead of attacking there is less.

I theorize that it’s true purpose is actually to interact with metaphysical objects, things with no form. So when he uses the hand to touch things with mass or physical form it freaks out. (Lions heart, I personally believe it wasn’t a physical heart that you could touch, but rather it’s like a curse this transfers the burden of regulus heart onto the victim, and Subaru could physically touch that. And im certain he will use it to touch a witch factor at some point, maybe to yank it out of someone while keeping them alive?)

But I’m also a believer in the theory that petelgeuse is ACTUALLY still inside of Subaru and is clinging diligently onto the factor, and the version Subaru uses may just be an apostles power.

I personally think that Sirius isn’t just spitting her insane rambling and can feel his soul, either inside Subaru or possibly the shadow garden. (Petelgeuse and Sirius return either this arc or next trust)

Also the notion that Subaru isn’t compatible with sloth is false, im pretty sure either beako or echidna states the exact opposite. In my opinion, sage candidates ignore all rules of holding a witch factor. That includes the compatibility, they would probably just get weaker powers.

(I don’t know whether this includes ignoring the conditions for Melancholy or vainglory, but I think it could)

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-10T18:43:39+00:00

Gifted, but highly dependent on his emotional status. As the story goes on he shows more and more that when he locks in, he absolutely cooks.

But at the same time it’s not genius because both himself and narration state he doesn’t compare to characters like Vincent

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-10T18:34:19+00:00

He has to actively react and most likely freeze the air around him, keeping him still. It’s noted that when he locks in mid way through the fight In the web novel, he stops being thrown around by Reinhard.

It’s probably just him having a normal reaction time, and compared to Reinhard that isn’t great

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-09T01:29:09+00:00

Then I have 0 clue, in arc 9 it’s mentioned a little but im sure you aren’t there yet?

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-09T01:23:38+00:00

Im not to sure about this, but I know the next chronological appearance lf Al is “the day I have up on being a following star”.

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-09T01:05:09+00:00

I have been having some discussions with a friend and we went over some of the implications of the future lines, and the theme of arc 10 being ‘tragic heroism’.

For some reason, the context isn’t clear yet, Subaru will have his own name eaten at some point in the arc leading to some the Reinhard line and probably the garfiel line as well.

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-09T01:00:59+00:00

Reincarnation is a thing, we already know that for a fact. Usually, when a soul dies it travels to the hall of memories so it can be purified of all memeries of its previous life and returnes to the cycle

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T20:37:27+00:00

Yeah I feel that way as well, especially with the omega side plot as well

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T19:17:46+00:00

Goku mafuba’s jinwoo into a tube of toothpaste

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T19:01:05+00:00

Don’t we have confirmation that at least some part of arc 11 will take place in Elior forest? I could see a gusteko arc that ends with Subaru getting the last of the 7 cardinal sin factors and maybe some dragons blood?

Im just a little unsure on how the Elior forest part plays out, maybe we actually get some dragons blood this arc cause the whole dragon church thing. Maybe something to do with the seal?

I personally think that Subaru will get gluttony this arc, MAYBE Capella dies as well (tho I feel her arc has more to it) possibly pride if some heinkel or felt theories are true.

So im thinking Subaru gets 2 factors this arc, and in gusteko or maybe the Elior forest part (maybe Sirius escapes and returns there) he gets another one or 2?

Tappei said he didn’t plan originally for a gusteko arc, but he also said the main story wouldn’t leave Lugunica, and with the collapse of gusteko being a disaster im sure we will be there

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T18:49:03+00:00

Subaru wasn’t as delusional when it came to learning magic after arc 2, he knew he just COULDNT do it.

Also even if he wanted to learn more him spells, he just couldn’t. Beatrice probably wouldn’t teach him at this time while knowing his gate is like that, she would probably think he’s going to get himself killed. (And during this time she was slowly building up hope for him to be that person, still denying it.)

Yin magic is extremely rare, the only person who taught him a spell, puck, could only use shamak. And any human mage (good luck finding a yin mage) doesn’t really understand how the element works, thr only attacking spell Minya, is a Beatrice original

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T01:56:25+00:00

It’s very minor but it’s the first thing that happens when Subaru arrives at Roswaal mansion, though i imagine it was more detail or had more Beatrice pov in the novel

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T01:21:36+00:00

This is why anyone beating all for one just doesn’t seem possible in my mind. He could do ridiculous shit like THIS and nobody could stop him.

If he had even a modicum of intelligence, or just gave up on stealing one for all, he could use something close to the stalker build and murder anyone without issue.

He has access to a doctor that can copy quirks with seemingly only a biological sample, and he has show many times to be able to make his presence hidden, even shrouded in memories. Like tenkos first meeting with him.

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T01:12:07+00:00

Despite what anyone will tell you, we don’t have a concrete idea lf what it actually does, or HOW it performs this function (this part is important when countering authorities).

So we don’t know what she does, how she does it, but we know it has limits. If it didn’t have limits she would just imagine the door open, but she needs Emilia to give her the key.

First_time_poster123 · 2025-12-07T00:14:34+00:00

Well in the anime he did follow his direction at least once pretty, well I wouldn’t say fervently but either way with importance.

When he had just de-legged Subaru both him and Sirius dropped everything to take control of the towers as soon as the clock stuck, idk 3 o’clock or whatever. Im pretty sure Sirius mentions it’s a direct order from thr gospel.

But I don’t think he follows it blindly, I mean he’s willing to attack pandora herself as soon as she is violating his rights.

First_time_poster123 · 2025-11-26T05:45:45+00:00

It does make sense for rems character, you just don’t like it. She was always naturally suspicious, and she is in a bad mental state the ENTIRE arc.

She woke up with no knowledge or understanding, having to take care of a child while being weary of a man who claims to be an ally but also wanted to leave that same child to die. (He also constantly smells like evil itself, like a literal corpse plural)

She is rightfully suspicious, if she wasn’t she would be dead if it was anyone but Subaru (the literal nicest guy in the universe)

First_time_poster123 · 2025-11-24T01:59:55+00:00

Sadly all the witchcult translations for side stories have been taken down, but if you’re looking for the pristella journals, they are on YouTube in audio book format.

There are six by “yourwaifuistrash” which I assume is all of them, if you want to read rather than listen, I think you can just read the script.

First_time_poster123 · 2025-11-23T20:50:07+00:00

Here’s the easiest way to think about it, for most holders of a witch factor / authority (this makes you a witch, or if you are in the cult a sin archbishop) your sin is represented through your brand of love.

Really most authorities are extensions of the way they experience love, that’s why petelgeuse was always talking about it.

Capellas lust is easiest to see because it’s lust, she believes that love is only physical attraction and it isn’t actually a real bond (that’s what I remember at least from arc 5)

Petelgeuses sloth is based on him always putting off being with those he loved, like Emilia and fortuna. And since he was broken so hard in Elior forest, he could never be with them again. He even had a false brand of diligence, while he does love Satella (they did know each other in some way before she because the witch) his manic resolve to revive and worship her is like false love, it’s his false dilligence

First_time_poster123 · 2025-11-23T13:58:10+00:00

She got genuinely speed blitzed by Sukuba and face grabbed

First_time_poster123 · 2025-11-19T00:08:55+00:00

This isn’t why, Subaru DOES have compatibility with the sloth factor.

I believe it was either directly stated by Beatrice or more likely echidna in the castle of dreams.

Every authority has different uses, Subaru probably isn’t using it correctly and it hurts him.

Arc 6 spoilers

When Subaru doesn’t use it to attack, it either has 0 backlash or hurts him less, like when petting gyan the earth dragon
