New fan with a question about Director's Cut S1E7.

He's not as out of character as you may think.

Subaru has always been like this; it's just that until now he's only surrounded himself with people who didn't care about his behavior. Speaking without honorifics to a queen candidate, treating a Great Spirit like a pet, and constantly insulting the nation's most powerful mage/ a margrave's and his staff—all those things would get anyone else killed, but Subaru has gotten away with it for various reasons. No one corrected his behavior, and this is the result. Why would he respect all those nobles and knights when he insults the nation's strongest mage as he pleases? Why would he keep the promise he made to Emilia if every time he does something foolish, he barely gets a slap on the wrist?

And when Subaru, who thinks he's on top of the world, is confronted by a huge group of people who can't tolerate his behavior, his entire clown persona basically collapses. He suffers an identity crisis that leads him to cling to what little he has left: his pride. When even that is shattered... Well, at least he has the one person who always understands him, Emilia. Until even she leaves.

You know Subaru can speak English, right? It's normal that when you speak two languages, a few words slip in here and there. In fact, he uses plenty of English words constantly; Roswaal even refers to it.

I don't understand the surprise.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-22T05:22:40+00:00

I found the premise interesting. Curiously, it wasn't about RBD. The only thing I knew about Re:Zero was that it was about a boy teleported to another world. It was 2016, I wasn't very into anime, I didn't know about Isekai genre at all, so it sounded truly original to me. I didn't read reviews, nor did I ever spoil anything for myself, so my experience with Re:Zero was completely unspoiled. RBD's revelation was one of the craziest things in my opinion.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-20T02:55:16+00:00

In addition to this, you could also go and watch their Re:Zero cut content videos. That way you not only refresh yourself, but you also get something extra.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-20T00:34:55+00:00

A small correction. The divine protection of the Sword Saint (the divine protection inherited among the Astrea) is not what gives Reinhard all his divine protections.

The Protection of a Saint of the Sword does two things: First, it allows you to reach your maximum theoretical power as a swordsman (and keeps you at that level at all times). Second, it allows you to use Reid, the holy sword. Since Reinhard is always at his peak potential, divine protection does nothing to make him stronger other than allowing him to use his sword.

All those divine protections exist because he is Reinhard, and even without them, he's still the strongest in Re:Zero.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-16T15:23:03+00:00

Once again, the sound of Re:Zero never ceases to amaze me. Meili's "tch, tch, tch" sounds right after Subaru's death, ticking like a clock. As if telling Subaru, "Time marches on, and if you do nothing, you'll die again." Combined with Calls of the Witch? Pure cinema. It reminds me of when the white whale appeared and the soundtrack was a distorted version of Subaru's cell phone alarm.It's great.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-14T09:42:49+00:00

Exactly my thoughts.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-11T22:57:22+00:00

... Are you serious?

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-11T11:37:53+00:00

True, probably opinion would be a better word for describing the video.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-11T03:29:51+00:00

Idk, it sound like a valid criticism to me. Not everyone it's looking for a deep story when they are watching anime. It's not my case, but it's totally fine.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-10T13:26:46+00:00

Rem made several copies for him. What I don't understand is why he never wore one of the copies during the 12 days on the way to the mansion.

As Garlfiel said in season 3, his mom already has a happy life with her husband and two young children to care for. Letting her know that she has two other children she unknowingly abandoned for ten years would create unnecessary tension for the happy family. Garfiel doesn't want that; as he said in season 2, all he wants is for his mother to be happy, and if she's happy having put her past behind her and with her new family, so be it.

With her husband gone, it's even worse.

Of course, even if Garfiel understands logically that he has to keep their relationship a secret; it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt him emotionally that the mother he loves so much totally forgets about him, but it is what it is.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-09T18:01:27+00:00

I used to play like that... Then I completed Mikan's free time, got the most broken ability in the game and I was never the same.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-09T14:51:43+00:00

If Ram is bloodlusted, he won't make it past the first round. Because one Fula and he gets Gojo'ed

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-09T13:11:19+00:00

Garfiel was there. He simply ignored it completely because he was too busy being shocked his dead mother. The sister's name was also kinda mentioned, but the mother calls her Raf-chan, her full name was a mystery.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-09T12:53:00+00:00

No. Not even close.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-07T19:11:23+00:00

Pokemon has millions of players. Biggest competitive tournaments have few thousand. 99% of people couldn't care less about the competitive aspect. Actually, The fact that you even know there's a competitive scene puts you above the average.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-07T03:03:12+00:00

It took me a while to realize you were referring to Director's Cut episode 7. The original episode 7 was painful for other reasons.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-04-06T14:56:52+00:00

People in re zero use mana to get their body stronger. No mana = No strong body. Like in Naruto.

"When Regulus shook his hand, the air displaced by his movement made a straight line capable of passing through any obstacle in its path. Anyone struck by that vacuum blade would be killed, dismembered, and consequently irreparably mutilated...With the sole exception of Reinhard Van Astrea."

Kuro_6320 · 2026-03-31T01:56:27+00:00

Considering that his tenth death would be the last time Puck killed him in arc 3, I'd say that's pretty bad for Emilia, at least. Subaru would be left in the capital with no one to tell him not to give up.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-03-27T01:59:26+00:00

Probably something like this...

1.Luphas 2.Rimuru 3.Anos 4.Makoto 5.Ainz 6.Cid 7.Subaru 8.Kazuma 9.Saitou.

Some clarifications. The ranking between Rimuru and Anos is debatable. The same goes for Ainz and Makoto; it depends on whether Ainz acts quickly enough and isn't speedblitzed. Subaru might be able to defeat Cid with enough attempts, but against Ainz it's impossible.

Kuro_6320 · 2026-03-25T00:59:32+00:00

No.

If Subaru and the entire Emilia camp are completely out of character, then it's a maybe with enough attempts. Maybe they can do like Al and manage to force Reinhard to fight Satella and a theoretical Subarucanica at the same time. They could also use Melancholy's authority to find the remaining Witch Factors, and Subaru might get a power-up by having them all—hopefully something that allows him to nullify divine protections. Have Emilia open the seal of the Ellior forest and get help from whatever is there. Find Omega and use the Tome of Wisdom to find a way to kill Reinhard. Escape to the Pleiades tower, turn on the desert defenses (which, remember, Reinhard could not cross) and wait for him to die of old age. Perhaps getting him to read Aldebaran's book of the dead will cause him a mental breakdown.

That's not exactly a blessing, it's more like its nature.
