Only Emilia would die if Subaru tells her about RBD. The witch of envy killed her because she saw that Subaru was willing to keep trying to tell someone even if it killed him since by this point he already sees little value on his life; however, the witch manage to stop him from trying to tell people of RBD over and over by killing Emilia. Funny how the author said that if he tried to tell Reinhard, Subaru would just explode.
@@Tyu124ehmue Well, it was Subaru, Rem, Crusch and her army. They knew when the Whale was going to come, and had Subaru to distract it with the Witch’s smell multiple times
@@Tyu124ehmue Yeah, that’s true. Subaru was very important for their win. In an If Story, it was shown that if Subaru weren’t there, everyone would’ve died
Subaru doesn’t know when his check point will update so he can’t spend to much time gathering intel on people because he might not go back far enough to make a difference also the author of the novel (source material) said Emilia is the only one who dies if they hear Subaru fully says his ability (we don’t know what happens to everyone else tho)
4:54 Welcome to the meme. 20:59 Why isn't Subaru doing this or that? Because he's on the verge of insanity. He's not sitting at a keyboard, telling his avatar in an RPG what to do. He's being tortured, his friends are dying. It's not easy for him to be a cool, calculating strategist.
People question why Subaru seems to be accepted on summoning to Isekai so soon. I feel it's more like a cultural difference. Japanese have developed Isekai-type stories in the past 30 years, such as novels, movies, animes, and most of those stories talks about a MC summoned into Isekai then becomes super powerful and saves the world. For those who watch a lot of those animes, like a lot of Asians (Subaru, for example), it would be easier to think that way immediately when they are in Isekai. It is, of course, stupid to keep that mindset after all those suffering, but Subaru was killed the first day he was summoned, and it is hard for him to trust anyone for help. Subaru did seek help from Emila, Puck, Betty, Rem and Ram, but most of their answers are more like riddles. For others like Crusch, Felix and Wilhelm, Subaru just does not have the right mindset to trust them at this moment.
WOW, you actually guessed it right. Yes, the witch will only kill people Subaru cares about otherwise he can just scream it at people. Its supposed to be a deterrent to stop him from revealing RBD. Supposedly, its only Emilia but that was from a while ago that the author explained it… Subaru cares about a lot of people
Author's twitter comments for Re:Zero Episode 17: Nagatsuki-sensei's tweets for this week's episode. Rough translation: Last week's sudden appearance, Kala-kaa-kaa-kaa, the White Whale. This Otto's "It's a white whale!" was a rather particular one, and he did it several times. The name of the white whale was only glimpsed in episode 14, so I did it at the end of episode 16, hoping that everyone had forgotten about it, just like Subaru. By the way, by the way, which is great. Otto's dragon chariot ground dragon is called "Frufoo". It is a beloved dragon that Otto and I have known for a long time. Whales are huge... I like big monsters, I like them! If I had planned to take measures against white whales, I could not come up with a countermeasure against a partner I had forgotten about. Otto is a good guy who tries to stop here. When Subaru saw Rem jumping off the car, the BGM sudden stopped with Subaru's conscious. When Subaru and Rem left Crusch's mansion, Rem asked what she needed to do. Subaru answered:" No need to do something. It is enough for staying behind me." This line, which is cut off in the anime for reasons of length. Actually it can echo with the words from Rem in this episode: "I shall be watching over you from behind." Otto quickly discards the crystal lamp and tries to omit even the most conspicuous elements. Then Subaru comes to mind. Otto went suddenly insane. Well, it is not unreasonable under the circumstances. Also, there are certain circumstances. The earth dragons of this world are kind. It's okay. The children laughed too because the desperate Subaru smiled thinly, but soon after this, they noticed Subaru's terrible condition and called for an adult. Reading is a common hobby of the twins. Rem likes drama and poetry and Ram only reads magic books. Ram doesn't have a sister. This is that thing from that thing that all gal gamers of yesteryear know. Due to the length of the animation, some of Mr. Petelgeuse' comments seem to be excerpted in a way that seems to make sense, but I still feel that they don't. What is this person really like? Mr. Beast of the End, I'm sorry. (Refers to Puck) This week's episode was another rather dense one. I hope those who predicted what would happen to Subaru last week were wrong. Now, it's a three-way battle of Petelgeuse vs. the Beast of the End vs. Subaru! Who will win? This will be next week from. PS: The correct name is Petelgeuse and not Betelgeuse as it is in the anime, according to the author why his name is intentionally written as Petelgeuse are important points scheduled to be revealed in a future arc.
If Subaru intentionally tries to break his contract and tell someone about Return by Death is when it will kill someone. He actively has to go against it rather than just saying shit out loud to attract mabeasts or otherwise use it to his advantage. Since Subaru has no memory of ever making this contract or why he has this power to begin with, he literally doesn't know its limits. It was even mentioned during the mansion arc that he wasnt sure if he got more than 3 tries per checkpoint which is why he was so terrified so start over again after Rem got aced by the puppers.
11:40 I always despise Subaru's instant use of insults or back talk when he gets cornered. Him yelling at Ram, telling her to shut up, and demanding to go to where Rem would be living...like Faroh sayd, his unwillingness to assess and accept the information that would clarify whatever situation he is in is mind-blowing. Clearly, if the sister is avidly denying the existence of Rem, freaking out about proving her existence is moot. Figuring out WHY someone could be deleted from even their most loyal fan's reality would be my first thought.
Ah right, because someone who is constantly being tortured moth physically and mentally should have a calm mind and straightforward thinking! You're such a genius!
As to Subaru not understanding that he was returning after death: I thought the same thing until I read the light novel. It was on Subaru's mind but he wouldn't entertain the idea in the off chance that it was something else. Cause that would be pretty bad to be wrong about.
17:15 Beatrice cares about Subaru, at least enough that she could not imagine killing him just because someone else had died. I always felt that was fairly obvious? No reason to think she "knows" anything special.
