REM POURS HER HEART OUT😭 - RE:Zero Episode 18 & 19 REACTION! 

Understandable reaction from a guy who’s stated who he loves since the start of show ngl.

What's funny about episode 18 is that most of the things Subaru says about himself are true and are the complaints people have about him when they watch him screw around in episode 12+, but when they actually see him list all of his flaws accurately, they're visibly uncomfortable for one reason or another.

Fun fact: Tappei (author of re zero) wrote an alternate ending in which Rem accepted Subaru's proposal called the Sloth IF route. Some shenanigans happened, but surprisingly it was actually a very happy and wholesome ending, if you ignore the fact that everyone Subaru knew in Lugunica is probably dead.

Loved your reaction but i have one thing to say! subaru didn’t have a moment of “self realization” while talking abt what he hated about himself, he’s always known that this was the kind of person he is. even though he hates those things about himself, he still can’t change them on a whim, it’s very realistic! i like that his self hatred isn’t solved in just one convo. One of the main themes of rezero is love, self love is one of them and i think what the author is doing with subaru’s character is absolutely beautiful! i love his development in season 1, season 2, and in the novels. he’s such an amazing character

He loves Rem too ,there's no doubt about that, but he was fair to her basically admitting that Emilia is his number 1

After few years my perspective has shifted, I like how Subaru was blunt about whom he loves & you cant just switch that suddenly. Even Rem liked the version of Subaru who was driven, driven cuz of his love for Emilia. But i still stand by the fact it could've been done in a bit better way, but one can argue that Subaru isnt good with social stuff & we see more about why later.

When you said imagine they had an entire life together. Ohhhh boy, you have no idea what you just said. Alternative timelines are not out of the question

Reminder that Beako can detect curses and best Human Mage is Subaru’s boss - both didn’t detect any curse…Because it actually isn’t , wouldn’t it be fun if Witch was simply monitoring Subaru 24/7 with her witch magic?

In case you didn't notice, Wilhelm says Van Astrea because Subaru knows Reinhard Van Astrea. I mean, he is telling Subaru that he is Reinhard's grandfather.

Just a little note: Puck said "Gluttony's... " He didn't finish the sentence, but the subtitles got it wrong and that made a lot of people misunderstand

I really like the character development Subaru is ongoing in this series.... Its feels real in the fantasy world setting. It makes more sense why subaru didn't even panicked when he got transported to this world cuz for him it was like running away from his previous life. But at rem's confession he chose not to runaway & finally started his life again, that whole monologue episode is just raw emotions at peak between 2 characters, I just love it.

I’m so glad you guys realized that Subaru didn’t love Rem at this point. So many people were upset at this episode SO MANY. it was made into memes, people were calling Subaru the worst protagonist ever. Subaru obviously loved Emilia, if anything he would be kind of a fuck boy if he immediately loved Rem after this. And i like that he was being honest with her, Rem even said “Yes” after he told her he loved Emilia. Shes always known, she saw him sleeping in Emilias lap. You got it exactly right, Rem didn’t go into the conversation wanting to confess to Subaru. It might seem completely selfless but she was trying to support him initially. After he vented out such deep hatred for himself, the only thing she could really do was be honest and tell him how SHE sees him. Rem isn’t a perfect waifu, she is very flawed. And her crying afterwards shows how human she is, as she knows she just got rejected. Also I personally don’t think she wants to give up on Subaru just yet. Shes a fairly stubborn girl. Its funny how divisive this episode is, I personally loved this episode when it came out and it made me really like Subarus character in retrospect. Watching this back after season 2, and even further as i read the novels, is quite amazing to see. The author REALLY took his time developing Subaru. And this was an episode that permanently ruined his character for others. I cant name how many reactors hated his character after this

Man I thought you were going to hate Subaru again because of that by how you acted before. There are so many people that hate that part in ep 18 but you guys actually understood it unlike so many. Im so happy about that for reals

This is the episode that ignited the Waifu Wars

I appreciate the "I love Emilia" line sooo much. It's brutal but fits the show and characters. And it offsets the trope of "girl gave a pep talk and now he's fixed". Subaru is still very broken and I think he was STILL trying to hurt Rem to get her to hate him the way he hates himself.

So this point of subaru choosing to run away with Rem actually is a turning point and if subaru didn't gain the resolve to keep going from rem and rem decided to be selfish and run away with him they would have lived together and gotten married and have children he would have completely chosen sloth. The author made it into a what if story titled what if sloth.

20 mins of pure dialogue but STILL the best episode for me Also I heard that the song that plays when rem was talking was sang by her va. Rem best girl.

Fun fact: Rem actually uses water magic. In Re:Zero water magic ha the ability to make ice and heal

YAY DIRECTORS CUT!!!!! The 2016 Airing cut out the scene where Subaru says he loves Emilia and Rem hugging Subaru.

18:47 This is why I think the most touching thing Rem says in the whole speech is when she says “I can’t run away with you” right at the very beginning. Subaru offers her the life she has been dreaming of and wants more than anything, and she turns down the thing she wants most in the world because it wouldn’t be what’s best for Subaru. She had her dream life dropped into her lap and said no to it because she cares about him. If that’s not the most genuine expression of love, I don’t know what is.

And since that moment eight years ago I still love Rem

Fun Fact: Subaru have inferiority and white knight syndrome. Since the beginning Subaru see many and many people who are better than him, even the girl, who he wants to protect, is stronger than him, he always felt that way, he can't perceive his qualities also; with all this situation and his backstory, it's not hard to imagine why he is feeling so insufficient, lol

There is lot of content in s1 ep 18 and s1 ep 19 1) S1 ep 18 is the checkpoint of next episode and Sloth If Small summary of sloth If is "what will happens if subaru give up on every thing and run away with rem ?" 2) finally we saw full form of puck , Rezero Frozen Bonds OVA have more Info about emilia and puck, I highly recommend check ova of rezero s1 , Important note :- rezero r canonically happened after s1 ep 11 and rezero frozen bonds ova is very important 3) F translations, Calling SWORD Saint as Master swordsman is the great insult to first sword saint and Current Sword Saint is Reinhardt Van Astrea, who is grandson of Previous Sword saint aka Therisa Van Astrea and Sword Demon William 4) Dont forget the name Flugel tree especially the name "Flugel". Bcoz subaru likes to inscribe his name on tree , when he near Flugel tree and about to inscribe his name ,Subaru saw "Flugel was Here" in kanji means in japanese, So Flugel maybe isekai person. Once again don't forget the name "Flugel"

Look carefully in the background during Rem's speech. You can see Naruto learning how Talk-No-Jutsu is *really* done.

9:08 that cut to her death always gives me chills. and seeing him wince to the traumatic memory and she didn't notice was such a sharp twist of the knife.

One other thing he knew because he was using his phone so he knows pretty much the exact time that the whale attacked them

With the whale, I assume it the mist, that what she sad and why the lost can't have Graves cause they can't remember them. Though I guess they feel something off too. But I also assume it possible that whale could easily kill people too and your not forgotten. I guess it a matter of how it does it.

The next episodes will go crazy

In Light Novel, it is stated that Subaru too has romantic feelings towards Rem. He loves both Emilia and Rem.

Non spoiler Light Novel content info According to Side stories of Crusch POV William tracking about spawn points and pattern of white whale of rezero countries . And he figure out next spawn point of white whale but he don't have accurate info about next spawn point white whale. So even without subaru involvement, White whale vs Crusch Camp will happen. But the outcome of that event/battle is clearly explained in Pride If and Wrath If. So I recommend you check rezero If story summaries after s2

Lobe watching people reaction to Subaru saying he loves Emilia we all had the same reaction and its so funny

Most brutal friendzone moment ever

Aw man, rem's confession always gets me no matter how many times I see it. 😅 BTW, the song in the background is sung by her voice actress, called "Wishing". It's lovely In the light novels there's several chapters of an "what if" story where Rem and Subaru did run off together and lived a happy life together, had two adorable kids and thrived. Also, in the LN, it's obvious and plainly stated that subaru loves Rem as well.

There is a Route where Subaru and Rem both ran away

32:36 All will be revealed in season 3 episodes 1-12 first cours

Something I'm beginning to realize about THAT line is that it probably didn't come from a place of "pure love", more so it seems like after being pulled out of that breakdown and being given permission by Rem to "start from Zero" he literally did just that, and recalled where this all started for him and refreshed the initial feelings he adopted. He still doesn't even really know Emilia yet, so to me that phrase "I love Emilia" feels more like grasping for a baseline of motivation to choose what he would do next. In other words, he actively "decided" to love Emilia FOR REAL from this point forward based on what he perceives to be his "From Zero" point of view. Y'know, instead of forcing his selfish need for approval on her and everyone else, like he's been doing. And yeah, it's unfortunate that Rem is in love with someone who is in love with someone else. But if it helps, you should know... she'll get over him.

Prologue over! More of Rem stuff in Memory Snow OVA (which is before Frozen Bonds, about Emilia) Btw, The timeline splits here as well, the 3rd story, Sloth IF, where he's lazy & gives up to run away. He does have children & (i think) does of old age, but its vague if he just restarts back over here or not. Precious splot timelines were if he ran away with Beatrice/Beako (Wrath IF??) and another being he kept getting killed by Elsa (Pride IF). The wind of Truth divine protection also came into the fact in previous restarts, which is why she thought Subaru was insane cuz to her he suddenly got info about witch cultists. And the translation is a bit wrong about wife, she's the "Previous Master swordsman" and NOT "First master swordsman", cuz Satella was sealed by a divine swordsman, great sage & dragon. Also reminder its Petel-guese & not Betelguese. Flügel (the great sage, who planted the big tree, the one who helped seal Satella) not whatever they said this episode.

The Dialog between 16:16 and 17:27 was cut out in 2016

Must be really crazy to see Subaru in his perfect loops, guy is a psychic. I'm not sure if the show will reveal, but, actually, it wasn't the White Whale which defeated the wife of Wilhelm, lol

19:36 I could explain you what he means but that would spoil you something in the future so I'll wait. But Betelgeuse (the crazy guy) is Sloth.

are you guys still continuing avatar or no? understandable if not it is very long, either way still loved watching your guys‘s reaction to it

35:53 it starts with one thing

15:57 re-zero exist because of rem and people say who's rem?

Good job Author.. you really made subaru Unlikable character because always MC always has good vibe and perfect strong OP 😂..

Potential spoiler I don't believe the loss of memory of a person aplies to people that die of wounds sustained while fighting the whale, only to people that are killed by the whale directly.

Subaru is stup**, REM loves him so much and is so kind, she is my favorite character, and I will always support Rem and not Emilia🙂

I can understand people who come to dislike Subaru in that particular scene of EP 18, though people tend to do it for the wrong reason. Subaru has every right to not love someone, so him rejecting Rem is totally fine. My problem comes right AFTER it; he starts saying all this stuff about how much he loves Emilia, wanting to see her smile, be next to her, etc, which is not a bad thing in itself, but i find it totally rude and selfish to say it right in front of the person who confessed to you, he could had totally say "I love Emilia" and cut it there, the rest seemed a bit extra IMO. Don't get me wrong though, Subaru is in my top 3 Re:Zero characters and i love how realistically written he is, but man he didn't have to go that hard with his feelings about Emilia 😭

Please react to Black Clover, you guys! Goodluck!

Why the Girl is angry on Subaru..

Such a beautiful scene, and he ruins it by telling Rem he loves Emilia. Really?? O.o!!!

Will you be watching Re Zero in 8 Minutes by Gigguk? It is kind of a right of passage once you finish season 1.
