An Unthinkable Present | Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 2 

Emilia should've killed Rem for that honestly

that would have broke pacing honestly, but i would have liked at least minimum showing her burying his corpse with rem, ram and roswaal pleading her not to go. something that shows it but quickly

she also walked out carrying Subarus body too

@@erenfokinyeetger9625 yeah but she's too much of pure soul(refering to Emilia) to do that

wait was that still in the light novel? I know it was in the web novel but I heard it was cut from the ln

He hasn't lost his mind yet for sheer luck, there are times where he is at millimeters of becoming crazy and shattering his soul but no, the world has other plans for you Subaru (And they involve even more despair)

I'm surprised he doesn't have grey hairs yet lol

@@nickkerr6068 Maybe he could have it but because he rewinds so often his hair doesn't have the chance to become grey

That one time Subaru was smacking his head on the floor of the temple a couple episodes back till he was bleeding was in fact a moment when his mind and soul like snapped 👀 it was crazy. If it wasn't for Echidna pulling him in for another Tea party, he would have straight up gone mad 😂.

Then you know how good that "tea" has to be.

yeah tbh I would feel the most guilt over that one

Yeah and what’s more horrible is Subaru’s loved ones and people he wants to protect most, he now has to face their horrible comments such as Ram in that one ‘there’s rlly no helping you’ and knowing Beatrice will probably be staying in that Library for many more ages T_T

It's actually horrifying how this route goes wrong. Cause there are still a chance to Subaru decide not to rewind this time loop and stay with Beatrice to put her out of her misery. At least she have a chance to be saved, right? Wrong. Wrath IF is telling us what happens if Subaru willing to choose staying alive in this loop. It's disturbing and Beatrice had been not even a little happy with the choice she made.

Flayer_Pegasus she wasn’t happy? I remember it was inferring that Subaru had said that he was her ‘they’ before he killed her, but I don’t rlly remember anything about her being unhappy. Well that makes sense tho,,,

@@mysarla I might not remember it correctly as well, but wasn't she scared of Subaru to the point of trebmbling? It sounds more like salvation from guilt, than the true happiness.

This was one of the highlights of this episode, perfect "who would win?" scenario playing out

@@donq4483 Reinhardt is so broken that his abilities put it where he can go toe to toe with joke characters like Saitama and win.

@@invidofinp1828 Reinhardt? Broken??

@@invidofinp1828 1st yes, the power to be able to distinguish salt and sugar is broken. 2nd stop comparing saitama to every other op character, we will never see his true strenght. 3rd that's just my personal opinion, even if i haven't put much thought into i,t but i think it would be a draw, as saitama wouldn't be able to hit reinhardt due to his divine blessings (since saitama isn't a god that - might still be "possiblishy"?) and saitama, being just uncomprehensively powerful wouldn't be affected by reinhardt. Ps: now that i think about it, reinhardt doesn't have a divine blessing that stops shockwaves from punches so yeah, scratch last part

@@creatorrater2931 Reinhardt is pretty broken, the author said that if Reinhardt and Satella (somebody with the literal power to rewind time) fought it would be a stalemate.

Ur comment is making my brain tremble

Your comment is even funnier since you have an okabe pfp

Well like puck said that is all he can do

that sounds exactly like Metroman's existential crisis on Megamind

actually it sounds like a certain hero of justice

No, he can only be a hero in that he can never prevent disaster, only save people from it. I believe he may have a curse that keeps him from being able to arrive to a dangerous situation on time, but I may be wrong there and it is just bad luck. Also in that single sword strike Reinhart both destroyed and saved the world simultaneously.

yeah, he's basically cursed with his duty. He will always be distanced from the people he cares about, only able to swing his sword.

Webnovel*

That's why he's my favourite mc of all time, and the person I harbor most respect to.

Not really he’s broken down many times and would have literally lost his cool many times over One especially note was after the Great Rabbit incident, his mind was so damaged, broken and traumatized he couldn’t function after that and left broken entirely. If it wasn’t for Echidna intervening that would be that no more Subaru he’d be a mess who could never recover. And even before that in the first tea party the fact he drank the tea saved him so much in terms of strengthening his resolve and fortitude up until the rabbits of course Subaru is by far has some of the highest mental strength out there, but he didn’t do it all alone. So much so if it wasn’t for actual divine intervention aka Echidna he’d never recover

You do realize that Touma died over a billion times at the hands of Othinus and didn’t break until the last phase, right?

Yeah cuz for normal people I think it would’ve just been facing one unthinkable present but Subaru kept failing and going into the trial over and over since he has multiple ‘presents’

Subaru lucked out in the first trial, now he s getting the real Echidna trial experience.

what is "imo"

joao neto nah he didn’t ‘luck out’ he just already had reached a solid conclusion with the help of Rem and Emilia for his past. Now the second trial... Well he hasn’t reached a conclusion yet and it doesn’t help in the least that Subaru keeps undergoing the trial over and over because of his RBD and many possible presents... ._.

Subaru : Am I going to suffer this time ? Author : You bet

At least Echidna confirmed those were just illusions, and she doesn't actually know what happens when he uses RBD.

Lol the bunnies leave NOTHING left

I didn’t even notice that. That’s tragic.

Remember when there were only the villagers clothes left? The bunnies don’t leave anything behind. Not bones, guts, or blood

Yep nothing left . So there's no point to show a scene after Subaru died from being devoured piece by piece. Also they just simply reuse that Rabbit scene

Well yes but it's been more than a few hours since he launched himself off the cliff at the mansion, or Rem killed him, or he died from the Mabeast curse. Probably just shows the moments shortly after he died in each loop. Most likely he died before they finished eating him and this whole trial is just a highlight reel.

Well you're mostly right, but think of it like this. If Subaru is jumping between worlds after each death, that means the previous worlds are abandoned and left to rot. In other words, there's a chance that the only thing being saved is Subaru's own mind, nothing else.

@@jackmayor3574 Saying his mind is “saved” is even a stretch.

@@TheDragonCat99 I mean technically he is not wrong. Even though his biggest mental breakdown was not animated, in general each time Subaru was either about to go insane or literally goes insane it is always thanks to the people around him, that he is able pull himself back.

E

We saw his face in episode 18 already.

I think that'll depend on if Satella will cut him some slack...

yeah, im hyped for isekai quartet too now. How are they gonna incorporate this season's details, I wonder? If I recall second season, subaru was hanging with rem and emilia and stated that he felt weird because he was remembering things that he had never done, like memories were being planted. What if this is how he changes in isekai quartet, they get the memories of s2 or something?

He actually did !spoiler! try to quit and leave with Rem in Arc 3, however, she convinces him not to.

There isn't even a close second.

He literally cannot quit.

Tappei: *too bad*

Not only did he one shot Puck he completely shattered and rebirthed Re:Zero’s entire world and he wasn’t even trying...

jano Gabor No he quite literally rebirths the world, most of the world was already destroyed and had no life left

@@Oboreru493 No, as I said it's just a poetic way of saying "he blew away the blizzard ending the frozen world and returning the landscape to how it was". They adapted exactly that in the anime.

jano Gabor no it’s not, the landscape was dead, it literally describes how there were brand new flowers appearing because of it

jano Gabor it also describes how he literally shattered the world with that strike, it’s not poetic that’s just the power of Dragon Sword Reid

I think I had the exact same thought during season 1 of “I wonder if RBD is time travel or not?” and was then showed (imo) the most horrifying scene in Re:Zero

And that's the true point of Reinhard's character, and it's why he can be such an OP Gary Stu yet still be awesome.

Subaru : "and you don't know about rabbits"

In the Novels it is explained that the strike formed cracks on the sky, like he shattered reality.

Well it's not been confirmed that this is the case and that in a way makes it worse as has no way of knowing if which is it every tine he dies...truly torturous

@@warrickdmuller811 no RBD is not universe change. that was just an artificial world made by Subaru's memories and all of echidna's knowledge.

Anime only i guess? Well Reinhard IS the strongest character of the series afterall. Anyway the anime nerfed Reinhard when he killed Puck, here is how it played out in the Novels: The next instant, Reinhard raised the Dragon Blade above his head, and there was a single flash of light-the sky split, cracks running through the very air; the ground crumbled; mana swirled in a vortex; and along the arc of his slash, the world…slid. The moment after that cascading slash settled down, the white, cold air covering the world…recovered. The slide in the world was repaired, the parts that had become a swirling vortex of mana reverted to their proper forms, flowers budded forth from the shattered ground, and peace spread through the cracked air. From the sky, dazzling sunrays poured down. The slash of the Sword Saint had both ended the world and simultaneously brought about its re-creation- And the enormous beast that had been bathed in that slash had been annihilated from the world without a trace. There were not even side effects of destruction to be seen; that a battle had even taken place seemed like nothing but a dream. -With a rasping sound, Reinhard sheathed the Dragon Sword within its white scabbard once more.
