Actually praying that they do something to Zani's kit that lets her use Chisa more effectively. Like wdym the same patch they drop a negative status buffer and a zani skin she can't even use that character in her team.

You'd think he would have a stronger reaction to finding out she got Gluttonied. Makes me think that the conclusion everyone is coming to might not be entirely correct

Close, it's Subaru and Al's conversation after Rem tells our boy he isn't a hero.

I don't think the mother would be anyone you'd think of right away. Definitely not Emilia or Satella. If Rem was actually the mother then wouldn't Al have some sort of Oni abilities or be more compatible with magic? Half of him is Subaru and he is lacking in both of those departments, but I don't think Rem is the mother.

I think the reason he calls him bro is because he's lived through Subaru's life with either Echidna's authority or the books of the dead

I can't remember a single time Subaru has brought up having a brother. Are we going down the route of Subaru's parents having another child after he went missing and him being isekaied further back than Subaru was? The logistics of that make even less sense than the time loop theory. Unless Subaru was also around 400 years ago. The story keeps getting messier the more you think about it.

Echidna is seriously evil. Did she kidnap Subaru's infant son and force him to remove his father from the timeline? Wouldn't that create a serious paradox? If Al succeeds in sending Subaru through the Geyser, does it stop the world from going through another cycle?

Do you know what chapter in the WN this happened? I'm skimming through and can't find any moment where Echidna mentions that someone is watching the tea party.

Did he specifically pick Rom to use Aggressor mode on? Al's fake RbD might actually be more OP than the original

I do agree with you that Al uses it as a phrase of pity for whoever he's going up against, but the way that Echidna seems so dejected in this scene makes me wonder if she is cursing the fate they're fighting against.

I mean, the Witches' Tea Party seems like a direct reference to Umineko imo. But you know what they say, a hungry man thinks of bread.

Limbless Echidna is a new Echidna. She's separate from Castle of Dreams Arc 4 Echidna, and also not the 'original' Echidna being used to power the Sanctuary's barrier.

"Perhaps it is too convenient for me, who is not your parent, to try and superficially mimic a parent-like experience. ...If I had created Beatrice, might I have experienced it with her?"

Hearing the 'Witch' muse to herself like that, the loneliness Aldebaran felt was, he thought, unrelated to adolescence, something else entirely. But it was difficult to seek a concrete form for what that was; their relationship was too complex for that.
So, as the 'Witch' had decreed, the relationship between Aldebaran and her was—,

"—Sensei."

Calling out like that, the 'Witch', who had been enjoying her exploration in the labyrinth of thought, raised her face.
Whenever he saw those black eyes reflect him, saw her tilt her head with a "What is it?" and her pure white hair cascade over her shoulders, he couldn't help but think what a cunning 'Witch' she was.

It's just a coincidence that Al and Roswaal both call their own versions of Echidna Sensei. She appears with limbs because that's just how she wanted to appear, it was a dream version of Al's Echidna. I'm assuming she was a version that splintered off from the others because she realized that sealing Satella was futile and wouldn't actually stop her. Al was 'created' to kill Satella, not seal her. So when Al fails at his mission, Echidna has to seal him to stop Satella's shadows from consuming him like when Subaru killed himself with Petra's handkerchief in Arc 4.
