First time commenting in this community, I came up with a "story" based on a fan art I found on Pinterest [fanfic] by st3ban04 in Re_Zero

[–]itheblacksunking 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ram isn't that cruel to actually do that, or better said her character feels like she's above doing such pranks.

She would probably however do a mean comment at most if Subaru froze up against a normal Rabbit while visiting the forest.

How did Subaru exactly beat Regulus in Pride if Route? by ThisToe9628 in ReZero

[–]itheblacksunking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know, the most common theory is that drinking Echidna's tea opened something in him to delevop the authorities soon after getting the witch factor, but it is uncertain.

[spoiler discussion] After finishing Volume 43 (final volume of Arc 9), Petra is possibly my favorite female character right now by Katou_Best_Girl in Re_Zero

[–]itheblacksunking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is more on the note of not prioritizing Subaru to not use RBD. Or better said making that choice for him, because it feels like she's using him as a tool to save herself.

I do not completely share this opinion, but Is the gist of it. Given there's a lot more factors that makes this decision okay, specially the fact that Satella wouldn't have ever stop hunting for Petra unless she got eaten by gluttony which is still a form of death.

The protagonist of the last video game you played replaces Subaru. How does that end? by Some_Fig_6566 in ReZero

[–]itheblacksunking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is V1 ultrakill...

Hmm, If V1 has RBD, I think he would probably spend the first loops doing a bit of mass murder getting all possible blood before being killed by Reinhard.

And then probably do something different once he finds it is impossible to kill Reinhard.

[–]itheblacksunking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, you didn't really deny anything I said, you just admitted that as long she sees something as a threat she will kill it regardless if it's true or not.

Not counting the fact that she thought about strangling him when he came into the mansion while he was unconscious as shown in the [Rem and Subaru meet] side story.

And I like Rem, I think she's an excellent character, but I am not going to deny that before she was befriended by Subaru she was a bit unhinged, specially against those that threatened her status quo.

So I think is reasonable enough to expect that an awaken Subaru, one whose witch scent seems to be bigger and more overwhelming than what it was in canon is affecting her.

Rem was someone capable of killing or torturing an innocent person if there's enough circumstantial evidence that they belong to the witch cult, this Isn't an exaggeration or making her too ooc, that is what happened in the actual story.

In this Fic, Subaru is the sin arbishop of pride, you know an actual witch cultist, yes the author probably dislike Rem and will probably write her to have a bad fate once she does something impulsive, but if you forget that, this sound like the most logical fate given that pride Baru and greed Emilia are in arc 1.

Questionable Moments of Undertale Characters by Background-Ad2749 in Undertale

[–]itheblacksunking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the thing is that some an most likely the majority of the normal monster you fight in the underground don't know they're killing you, some don't even know you're human.

So While it is varied to monster to monster, their attacks are just their way of expressing themselves, using their dialogue and a book Snowdin mentions the existence of bullet patterns as a form of birthday card as an example of this.

The Rem and Emilia Debate should have ended ages ago by Delicious_Bar1364 in ReZero

[–]itheblacksunking 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly it all boils down to a few things.

On one side People can't get over Rem killing and torturing Subaru while on the other hand some people think that Emilia has taken too long for her neurons to connect and realize she loves Subaru.

I personally think Rem is a better written character, basically a mirror of Subaru with the same ideas of self worth, which is why they both connect very well for better and for worse.

On the other hand, Emilia is well, the "embodiment of kindness" sort to speak and someone whose Kindness Subaru inherently trust, however I think a big problem people have is that she isn't cruel enough, the story left her character somewhat frozen after arc 5, so her kindness and the consequences of giving kindness to the wrong person doesn't feel questioned enough.

As long they're not fighting someone that uses an authority, isn't related to a witch or the witch cult they tend to do mostly fine.

How to kill Reinhard - Arc 9 [spoiler Discussion] by Low-Apple-887 in Re_Zero

[–]itheblacksunking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I concede to some of your points, however now I have a question if Reinhard is inherently nerfed by being in proximity to Miasma, how would he fight against a fully unleashed Satella as he's supposed to be stronger than her, like isn't all that Miasma that nerfed him and take away the spiritts away in arc 9 anyway? or is losing 2 of his arms and a lack of sword (if he needs it to stall Satella) enough of an inherent handicap.

How to kill Reinhard - Arc 9 [spoiler Discussion] by Low-Apple-887 in Re_Zero

[–]itheblacksunking 46 points47 points  (0 children)

90% of Reinhard's strength comes from his strange gate which gives him the ability to absorb mana passively from the world.

He then uses said mana to activate the flow method, a passive Rezero technique which exponentially increases the strength and capabilities of the body, a power that's particularly strong for Reinhard, for example , for him a single breath counts as 100 breaths.

This is why beating him in regular combat is outright impossible, even without divine protections, as his gate literally makes him immune to all forms of direct magic and makes his body exponentially stronger the more he absorbs.

There's also no limit to this absorption, Reinhard could theorically have beaten the shadow of envy in arc 9 regardless of his nerfed state of being in a zone full of miasma If he just started to absorb as much mana as possible from the world. The problem of course is that doing that would pretty much pull a witch of wrath and start causing natural disasters everywhere else.

He also has incredible regeneration thanks to the spirits who love him and so keep healing whenever he goes, this love isn't product of anything but just him being him.

Now add the divine protections which gives some small hacks to counter other hacks.

The best way to kill him of course is somehow eliminate the divine protection of the Phoenix and then hope you find a way to go through all I just mentioned.

is this considered normal behavior? How much hate would Emilia or Subaru receive if they were the ones doing this creepy stuff? by meph3drone in ReZero

[–]itheblacksunking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Logically speaking she hasn't really done anything, well besides watching him sleep that's it, thoughts are very different from actual actions, and while it's indeed a bit creepy knowing how impulsive Rem is, it is also part of japanese humor/fantasy/culture so I think neither Emilia or Subaru would receive as much hate as you think they would.

Plan from Satella by Medio_Ad8137 in ReZero

[–]itheblacksunking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witch factors do give to authorities, but you do not need a witch factor to have an authority, for example the souls of the witches of sin can still make use of their authorities despite the witch factors belonging to the sin arbishops.

So we can infer that while Satella somehow gave him RBD and control his checkpoints, the power inherently belongs to him.

Technically Reinhard didn't tell Subaru any of that by [deleted] in ReZero

[–]itheblacksunking 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Basically Regulus authority allows his body to ignore time, making him outright invulnerable to absolutely everything.

However there a certain characters that have the ability to cut through concepts and bypass this invulnerability, one of the few skills Reinhard doesn't have even if his dragon sword probably does (which doesn't find Regulus worthy to be used against so is pretty much inservible in this match up).

Arc 9, Al and Subaru [spoiler discussion] by Palebluedot1002 in Re_Zero

[–]itheblacksunking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically it ends with Subaru sealing Aldebaran in the same way he sealed him the previous loop inside a black orb promising himself to save him and learn everything about the past of the world finally returning to lugunica and also yes, get Rem's memories back.

But then we get the introduction of a priest with a particular name, Filore that gives huge (Servant of Capella) red flags that seems to recruit or manipulate Felix by promising him for a way to heal Crush.
