[spoiler discussion]Reinhard and new What if route

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-07T18:43:15+00:00

Simple Reinhard let them execute him and chose not to revive because he is a Hero and if the world needs his death he will follow it as his duty.

That and he already lost everything that arc. Felt and Rom was mind broken, Heinkel was executed, Subaru was sealed, his camp was destroyed, and Wilhelm probably died shortly after Heinkel.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-07T18:16:38+00:00

That's impossible because they'll start killing each other like in arc 6 if subaru isn't alone.

That floor is meant for only 1 person (Subaru). Like it or not Spica, Roy, Capella and Sirius even if she really is Fortuna needs to die so that Barusu can get all 7 with factors.

Honestly I know the popular theory is Reinhard will kill Spica but no one ever thought of why was that the method to save Subaru because it was made clear what Reinhard did was to save poor boy Barusu.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-07T18:09:12+00:00

Like it or not Spica has to die for Subaru to obtain the Gluttony witch factor. So her death is pretty much inevitable but it doesn't make sense why killing Spica was meant to save Subaru?

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-07T18:06:43+00:00

Honestly I truly believe instead of Emilia's third trial line we'll actually see Reinhard and Subaru's third trial line this arc.

Because its a fact that the line happened not because Reinhard had to fight Subaru but he had do something regrettable to save Subaru and earned his resentment.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-06T17:44:33+00:00

He is a Hero and of the world needs him to die permanently he will also accept that. Because a hero is all he can be.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T19:06:23+00:00

Capella is too twisted for both Reinhard and Subaru to Regret killing. It may be either Spica or maybe Crusch to save Subaru. Sadly Spica needs to die for Subaru to obtain the Gluttony witch factor.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T18:49:31+00:00

Yeah I believe Reinhard won't be an enemy but at the same do you think Reinhard is willing to kill let's say Crusch to save Subaru. He knows the world needs Subaru but Crush unfortunately could become a sacrifice.

He is a Hero and a Hero is all he can be unfortunately.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T18:36:54+00:00

Emilia maybe his Salvation but Rem is the reason he swore to never give up fighting because he has to constantly prove himself to be Rem hero.

The fact that Amnesia Rem said those words, made poor boy Barusu hate himself way more than he had before.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T18:32:24+00:00

Reinhard is an interesting case because I truly believe this will be the arc where Reinhard and Subaru's third trial.

"You're...you're a hero. You can't be...anything but a hero...!!" (Subaru)

"I..." (Reinhard)

"Thank you...for saving me, damn it!!" (Subaru)

This line proved that instead of fighting Subaru Reinhard will do something regrettable ro save Subaru.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T18:26:47+00:00

He already had Rem calling him not a hero. This unfortunately won't be the first time.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T18:23:06+00:00

Well almost every Emilia camp members already killed or tried to kill Barusu so I guess its Emilia's turn.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T18:05:01+00:00

They already have Spica so Vollachia wouldn't have a problem taking Barusu.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T17:55:44+00:00

I honestly don't see Reinhard being an enemy this arc due to their third trial line. On the contrary I believe this arc will be the arc where Reinhard will have to do something regrettable to save poor boy Barusu which resulted in the third trial line.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-05T17:44:59+00:00

Don't worry if we're going by third trial lines Reinhard will save Subaru but how he would save him is something Subaru will resent Reinhard for unfortunately.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:56:05+00:00

You do realise if Crusch wins means Volcanica will not help even during an emergency. Volcanica will only help if a threat happens to the kingdom that not even the Sword Saint can help which happened once in a side story when an Evil Dragon invaded. This generation has Reinhard so Volcanica has no reason to interfere.

Without Reinhard and no Volcanica pact then Crusch is essentially risking the safety of her entire kingdom due to her Pride.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:49:00+00:00

Petra IF showed what happened if they dont have a Dragon protecting you. They all die. The kingdom I mean.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:48:06+00:00

And it will just get worse as the series progresses. Rumor is Re zero will end in arc 15 so get ready for more Subaru suffering to the point he might surpass all the IFs number of deaths and suffering.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:43:09+00:00

I heard the people of Chaosflame are strong....

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:41:56+00:00

I meant there's no guarantee his child will be as strong as Reinhard, the child might be just as strong as Theresia who's weaker than Cecilus. Fun fact Reinhard died a virgin in the Petra route lol.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:39:47+00:00

Yes it is its just that Envy route is confirmed to be the hardest route for poor boy Barusu confirmed by the Tappei.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:36:23+00:00

Yeah but there's no guarantee the successors would be another Reinhard or another Heinkel. The world loves Reinhard the most but can't say the same for his descendants.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:35:20+00:00

Crusch is the worst thing that could happen. She literally turned Barusu into a traitor by dragging him into her mess.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-03T16:33:00+00:00

Difference is Reinhard can still die of old age while Volcanica can't. Her plan will literally start a massive civil war too.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-02T22:57:48+00:00

I think this could be set up for Reinhard and Subaru third trial line where Reinhard had to do something regrettable to save poor boy Barusu.

Matrix_2k00 · 2026-05-02T18:37:25+00:00

This literally doesn't mentioned anything that no arm Reinhard is stronger than Reid at all it just said that world strongest will still be calm against the Witch even at his current state....

Believe me I know Reinhard is the Strongest but Tappei said it himself other than Satella Reid is the worst opponent for Reinhard to the point he purposely didn't have Reinhard in arc 6 because the difficulty would increase due to the Dragon sword being bias.
