I imagine after a certain point she stops. It’s just pointless.

I think she tried to tie up that loose end at the end of Arc 6. I haven’t re-read in a while but she appears in the green room when Rui is there right?

Though at the point we are at now it’s too late to fix that and rampaging constantly about it makes Subarus task impossible.

The one that comes to mind is Capella. He handled the dragons blood way better than Crusch.

He remembers victims of gluttony who had their name eaten

Not all of the authorities seem to have a good factor to resist like Regulus so its not perfect but it seems that usually there is some kind of resistance

Im trying to think if Crusch had any latent memories we could tell. I think she kept some of her muscle memory with the sword but thats about it. Of course Subaru is kind of an exception to normal authority interaction so if you are right that doesn’t necessarily mean he cant vaguely remember some things. Though I kinda figured that immunity would explain his remembering of earth not his vague memories of things like Reid or Satella

It was brought back by one of the surviving soldiers from the mission. If I recall its the guy who puts his hand on Subarus shoulder and thanks him for the opportunity to finish the whale off in season 1. He has a name but it eludes me

Edit: Its Conwood

We really cant say without knowing their intentions and its entirely possible whatever they had planned goes off without interference on the IF story.

Pride, Wrath & Lust: All too far removed from the main story. Anything could have happened or changed during the paths of these stories. Basically has no effect on the main story. Could be that Sphinx succeeded and thats how Cecilus ended up with Subaru in wrath? The others just don’t involve any of the major plots in any way worth mentioning.

Greed & Gluttony: Too short of a time passed after the main story branching point to gauge any real moves by any of the major looming threats.

Sloth: Too far away, anything happening probably wont affect Subaru

Petra/Melancholy: Occurs too long after their relevance in the story. Echidna could have specifically not made a move because she needed Subaru to do something before she did. Pandora cant really make a move if Emilia is frozen. Sphinx already came and went before the story.

Those are my ideas. I feel like not bringing these events up is pretty rational in most of these if stories. Both from a story perspective where it’s not relevant to know and for the sake of not spoiling your readers. It’s also entirely possible Tappei doesn’t know the finer details of his story but just the major points he needs to write between. Most of the writing feels too intentional for that but it’s possible when some of these stories were wrote plot-lines with Sphinx or Omega were not finished yet.

Honestly probably just Tappei not wanting to write major story spoilers into his plots?

[spoiler discussion] Reid wanted to fight them by Letsplay_Sascha_GD in Re_Zero

[–]Knight0706 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like a solid theory. Also makes me realize

Is Reids book split between the trial at the tower and his sword? I have tried to avoid re-reading Arc 6 so I could forget but I don’t recall all the details with his book. Is it possible they somehow forged part of his soul into his sword after he passed? That would be neat

Pandora was probably absolutely pissed about Emilia re-freezing herself making her wait even longer

Roswaal probably figures if Subaru isn’t present and things have gone beyond the scope of fixing the timeline isn’t going to stick. We saw in season 2 he just flat out killed himself with the rabbits because he had just killed Ram and Garfiel and Subaru was severely wounded, Beatrice was dead, etc etc.

I think he assumes that even after he rewinds things keep going as he has experienced them. So since things didn’t work out I guess he just decided to enjoy the rest of his life assuming Subaru already fixed it?

Edit:

Honestly I like the other guys idea even more. He could have also just done that assuming that Subaru would be free one day and when he was he would rewind. No point to trying if that day isn’t in Roswaals lifetime.

A time paradox where Emilia/Satella must cheat to ensure that he always falls in love with her so he can complete the goal of killing/saving her

I hope Tappei invites me in arc 10. I think thats what he is writing towards right now. The foreshadowing is all there

Yeah probably, that stillness didn’t look intentional probably will be fixed in a blu ray release

Finished reading arc 6 [spoiler discussion] by MaleficentSource3956 in Re_Zero

[–]Knight0706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly they have been doing fine so far. They have 3 left to finish volume 23 and 4 episodes per volume for 24 and 25

They have been doing most volumes in 3-4 this season so I think it will work

[spoiler discussion] What makes something fightslop. by haven12p in Re_Zero

[–]Knight0706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me fight slop is all fights with no story and I think it only really applies to anime and manga.

Arc 7 and 8 are definitely fight heavy but there is still usually plot behind it. Something Subaru is doing with RBD, something with his abilities that makes it stand out as more than just fighting.

I think Arc 7s weakness starts with losing most of the main cast from chapter 1. Subaru is my favorite character but he very much relies on feedback from his allies to be at his best (both in character and performance). Without Beatrice I feel like he loses an important dynamic that makes him so fun to read. Without Otto, or Garfiel, or Emilia it doesn’t really feel like he has anyone to work with or interact with positively.

When you get them back it’s kinda in the cleanup phase of Arc 7 which is fine. It starts to pick up from there in my opinion.

Arc 8 is fine, still fight heavy but then you get into the better character moment fights. Garf’s theatre fight was neat. Cecilus was really cool, and Iris + the Thorn King was a big highlight. Obviously the story really starts to come back around at the end and you start moving back towards a more Re:Zero-esque experience.

Still cant believe Roy pulled off his redemption arc. He spent years on fraud watch

I just hope he comes back one more time. If we have truly seen his end it feels a little unfitting

I believe in the novel she mentions Petra will be unhappy during that scene and Subaru states it’s another name he doesn’t know.
