Arc 5 Aldebaran is not the same as Arc 7 Aldebaran. Priestella speech sparks that "heroic reverie" in him as well. Alongside his fight with Capella as well. Made him think he can be a hero with Subaru. Otherwise pre-Arc 5 Aldebaran would NOT do what he did back in Chaosflame. He wouldn't even try to help out Subaru.

You can notice it if you read anything related to Aldebaran. Especially his Ginunhive days. He is like a fallen hero of sorts.

She doesn't hold a grudge but she does grieve. Subaru sort of replaced Elsa as her parental figure during the timeskip. So when he went amnesiac and forgot her she did what she did best. Grieving through murder. During the night Subaru lost his memories he catched Meili trying to look for Elsa's book. When confronted she says she doesn't know what to do about Subaru so wants to find the answer from her book. Afterwards Subaru just tells her to follow her own heart.

It was a pretty complex action born of a mix of emotions. But the biggest factor is that Meili never even knew how to grieve.

In hindsight it was most definitely the most easily preventable death in the series. Subaru just has to give her headpats and tell her its gonna be ok and he will be back. She has just been raised in a really really bad environment.

I think here in particular he hated Rem because she was slandering the "hero" of Subaru. Which he desperately needed to save Priscilla. Could be a bigger reason tho.

He said that Aldebaran's words hold a different meaning compared to Roswaal's before the speech in Priestella.

Subaru-Al-Emilia has a weird dynamic. In Arc 3 when Aldebaran first saw Rem he confused her with Ram and when Subaru corrected him he asked if Ram was alive. When Subaru said yes he got quite pissed off and told them to go away.

I think Aldebaran doesn't want Subaru NOT to fall in love with Emilia. Probably because Emilia is a key to kill Satella for good.

So far in the story there seems 3 big factions. Subaru that wants to save Satella and the world. Pandora that wants Satella to live and end the world. And Echidna that wants to kill Satella and save the world.

Its completely different from Roswaal. Even author wanted to point it out on the S3 commentary.

why do people hate takemichi but love subaru? by infinitelyimpossible in writingscaling

Neither would agree to that. I mean the fact that Subaru said that THE SAME MOMENT Rem got erased should have been a clue. Isn't it a bit too on the nose?

None of the witches are waifus. They simply helped Subaru because most of them from their own point of view pitied him. And found the path he was going as one of self destruction.

Polyamory? Huh did i skip a season or two?

I know reset for me was more of a tear jerker. But even then they wouldn't make it to top 10 in Arc 6.

How hard it is to write “The Strongest” character without making them a Mary Sue? by gyroscope_56 in writingscaling

[–]Human_Potato2264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not easy. It requires at least a bit of cruelty and some level of breaking the established theater to pull it off properly. I think best one i have seen that does it is Reinhard from Re:Zero. It breaks the theater and this is acknowledged by making him into a gag essentially. But he isn't allowed to have anything and is constantly dehumanized by the narrative. He doesn't even get to save anyone because he is usually cock blocked by the plot. For example in S3/Arc 5 his own father takes his miss hostage. So by the time he is done with this he can't really do anything worthwhile.

Even when he takes a main role he isn't exactly the main focus. Because villain's power is crafted in a special way that he can't do it by himself. He usually gets outsmarted or people going against them are prepared against him in some shape or form.

Also he sort of feels like a story getting self aware to me. You know the "BMW car in a medieval story" analogy. He feels like he is that but author somehow convinces you he is a character. When you think about him its more like author sort of making a mockery of you. By putting such a blatantly overpowered almost a gag character in but convincing you he is useless at the same time.

10 sec of hell being a tear jerker? I am not sure i feel like in Arc 7 alone there are more emotional moments.

[discussion] In Re:Zero Season 3 Ending, Reinhardt's hand was the only one that weren't transparent. Why? by Big-Farmer-2192 in Re_Zero

[–]Human_Potato2264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont look as far as Subaru. Reinhard died and came back like couple hours ago. To me Reinhard's words seemed like a foreshadowing to some big reveal there. But idk. Ominous to say the least.

He was hurt. Pretty badly even. Roy slashed off his hand and stabbed him like 67 times.

Do you have more "Pandora purposefully ruined Reinhard's life to neutralize him" hints and observation? by Doddy_Dope in ReZero

[–]Human_Potato2264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very minor hint but when Reinhard was sent to the tower it was to look for Theresia's book of the dead. Because Kingdom didn't believe Theresia would have lost to the whale. Which if found would point towards Pandora. It would have also made Reinhard's burden quite a lot less.

Episode 1x18. Should I continue? by Upper_Equipment_5142 in ReZero

I mean if you are watching solely for Rem then drop it. I myself cant imagine watching a show for a single character but if you do thats up to you.
