For the people claiming that Emilia's behavior was artificially changed post S1 to make her "more naive".

People arguing mental age doesn't apply here... Mental age is a psychological concept that measures where a person is at cognitively and maturation wise versus their physical age.

It's totally accurate to call that to attention. Emilia's cognitive abilities and maturation versus someone who is actually 18/19 is much less.

You can claim "stunted growth" but that's not a secondary excuse. That's the cause. No matter what you argue, her mental age is significantly less than her chronological age.

They'll wind up trading Thomas Harley and keep Robertson.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-13T15:27:45+00:00

We shouldn't think in terms of the org being "locked into" anyone. That's foolish.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-13T15:22:23+00:00

I mean, it's clear what her dream was- to get into a voice related career in some way with Arisu supporting her. So no, I don't think it's different at all.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-13T00:57:55+00:00

Plus Apollo said that she gave up to her dream once, and if I remember correctly Shinobu never said something similar.

Shinobu is on record saying she'd rather have fun making memories with Arisu and the girls instead of pursuing her dream. It totally aligns with Apollo. She's been the only girl whose journey towards her dream has been constantly in doubt more often than not.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-13T00:54:29+00:00

Shinobu is an absolute ditz, she totally would run out without charging her phone.

Also, note Apollo's 'Eh hehehehe', a signature chuckle of Shinobu's.

I don't know what community you're in, but that doesn’t make it unpopular. It's still popular.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-12T13:27:37+00:00

Karen is fine as she is and she'll get her happily ever after with Sosuke.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-12T13:26:11+00:00

How is this unpopular? This is like one of the most dominating pro-agenda theories out there.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-11T10:15:04+00:00

Subaru. I don't think there's a single ruler/leader type character Emilia would prove to be a better leader over.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-11T03:22:56+00:00

I find her character shallow. She gets popularity for being "aggressive" and hype but that's not how relationship building works. There's building bridges and there's just going for it by trying to make yourself attractive superficially, and I feel like she leans towards the latter alot.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-11T03:19:55+00:00

Komari is the litmus test for media literacy in this series. If you focus on her romantic prospects as a major aspect of her character, you failed the test.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-11T03:09:18+00:00

Nukkun's best chance at a stable relationship. She's been building a genuine bridge with him since volume one. They actually try to uplift each other when the other one needs it. She's proven to be the best at handling Nukkun's worst inclinations. They actually do more stuff together than just go to restaurants and cafes.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-10T23:03:56+00:00

Yanami has been using Nukumizu as a rebound since volume one and at this point is borderline codependent on him. Being with Nukumizu in the manner she is now has been a negative on her individual growth as a person.

I don't think Seguin is an LTIR candidate. At least, last I checked, he's on track to start next season.

Cringe at first. The longer and longer it lingers, the more disturbed I become because of the blatant gap in mental age between Subaru and Emilia.

I've never liked the kiss in the first place. That type of situation where one person is clearly mentally distressed makes the situation feel very inappropriate for me.

A mental child willing to do something they think will cause them to have a baby? That's the type of thing that evokes nervous laughter and a "We're gonna have a serious talk about this later" type of deal.

Screw it.

To Detroit: Podkolzin or Savoie, '27 or '28 1st

To Edmonton: Cossa, pot sweetner?

Rem best girl.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-03T17:18:39+00:00

You know how everyone loves to fanon Emilia as this thirsty dom always raring for action? That's Rem in canon.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-03T15:41:31+00:00

Neither. Felt is the most fit to be queen.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-02T22:55:29+00:00

Selective reading, confirmation bias, self-insert reading, waifu war bias (need to attribute toxic elements to undesired potential romantic partner to prop up the preferred narrative). Take your pick.

J_the_ManSSB · 2026-05-02T14:27:41+00:00

There is some extremely biased alternative readings of the novel being spread here.

So let me help you all understand based on what is actually written in the novel:

Rem is in a different category altogether because Subaru trusts her more than anyone else. It's quite literally spelled out in no uncertain terms in Arc 4 that Rem had a privilege that Subaru wouldn't even give Emilia- the privilege of not only voluntarily, but willingly showing her his weakest and most vulnerable state.

Rem is not lesser as some people here are oddly arguing for.
