The Ending of Re Zero Arc 8 is The Evilest Thing Tappei-sensei Has Done 

Cant wait till Season 6 in 2033

Arc 7 and 8 were intended to be a single arc before editors intervened so if you count those two as the same arc it would be the longest stretch of the story

"Throughout Heaven and Earth, Tappei alone the cruel one" - Re:Zero readers & Subaru

What made this so painful is that everyone's numb to death in Re:Zero at this point since we think somehow our boy Subaru will die for us and fix things... So when something like this happens when you realize there's no way to fix it... 😢😢

Priscilla finally saying her lines from the the 3rd trial and from Tappei tweets from 2015. Now I expect all other future lines if they come true Tappei will make them hit just as hard.

Gonna quote something from wiki... Priscilla: *Mother dies when she's a small child, hunted and abused throughout her childhood by most of her siblings except Abel, then he sends her away, loses race for Vollachian throne, has to flee to Lugunica, then gets passed around like a blowup doll by a series of pervy old men, and has to give up on her life to save her loved ones.* Also Priscilla: "Yeah, The world works in my favor"

I was waiting for this after I saw the most recent chapter. The endgame is coming.

Everyone was sh*t talking about arc 7 and how it was so much worse than arc 6. But put it together with arc8 and you've got amazing worldbuilding, sheer spectacle through magical, tactical and physical warfare, and beautiful character moments. If Al becomes an antagonist after this, this might be the greatest turning point in the entire Re Zero story so far

Seeing you talk about re:zero always puts a smile on my face. Can’t wait for October

Glad to see more Re Zero content again, you originally got me into the series been following since :D

Lov your videos keep the hard working ur killin it

Priscilla is the case of destroying cliché of fully morally developed, full-fledged wise experienced character being butt-licking idealised furniture for any reader-liked character possible. Priscilla isn't only excessively strong (both combat-wise and moral-wise), intellectually wise, experienced and insanely insightful, but also prideful and honest. She heavily supports individualism and idea of necessity of constant self-improvement. If she's superior, she'll state it. If any person lacks something or has serious flaw - she'll state it. Blaming her for arrogance is akin to justifying flaws of people she criticise, which, to be honest, isn't the right way. The only somehow fitting critique to her as person is how tough and strict she is, though, in her case it's nothing than her way to push people into self-improvement. Its harsh, but not only that its working, but also its proven to be effective, because that's partly a manifestation of Volachian lifestyle, Volachian mentality. Not only that she supports people who know their place, but also she admires people that tend to choose their place by actions, by success of their ideas. Also, she doesn't really lack in softness. The first literal introduction of her personality was Subaru's attempt to get her help in arc 3. She tested him by giving an option for Subaru to lose his, Emilia's faction representative pride, harming both himself and faction. In Subaru's attempt to get through obstacles in easy way he almost made a grave mistake, he forgot that trying to save faction, he acts as Emilia's faction member, literal face of it in such crisis, and its completely unacceptable to fall into such shame, unacceptable to disgrace Emilia as candidate that much. And not only disgracing Emilia's faction, but also himself as person. Priscilla was merciful enough to not help him, not let him to do that. Just to remind her reaction. She was genuinely enraged, furious because of Subaru's decision, simply because that shit was against all her principles. Its also really sweet of her, that except of making Emilia's faction be framed and ruined by Subaru's pig greed, she placed herself in Emilia's position and made a decision - either her representative pushes his limits as person and exceeds his past self, solving problem properly, or she, candidate, just dies without seeing her lifetime ambitions and reasons to live getting demolished. Maybe Priscilla isn't softest person to interract, but she's clearly is one of the greatest and most glorious humans ReZero world have ever seen. Just like Reid , who's, despite being hard to interact with - is the greatest human humanity dealt with, the sheer ambition of whom turned old ReZero world into place hunderfold softer and more comfortable for humanity. Just don't forget, that wrapper isn't what decides person.

Bro.... playing goat and discussing goat. . What a class taste

I cried tho she grew on me so much that I literally shed a few tears especially that scene with al and her in the end

I just hope Al doesn't become too unreasonable, I really like him...

Keep doing what you do man 👍🏾

I got a faith build and a strength build for Shadow Of The Erdtree. One at the end of the game, and one pre-Malenia to check for secret dialogue. Also Arc 8 finale elevated the entire arc for me.

Here's something for yall to think about, if you haven't read Witchbeast Observation Side Story yet: Felt and Reinhard are at the Pleiades Watchtower and one of them might find Priscillas Book of the Dead and I think if Reinhard reads it he'll be able to completely figure out Subaru's RBD, Tappei can take this in SO many directions honestly.

Damn, this chapter was fucking amazing, it was such an emotional rollercoaster. When Prisca and Subaru were walking around I found myself thinking how great she was as a character, thinking how cool would be all the interactions with her camp be, given the events in arc 7/8, only for Tappei to rip her off the story at the end leaving us completely destroyed, I was not ready ;-;

Tappei: *"Subaru's actions will probably cause Priscilla’s demise."* •What Subaru does: Subaru: **Went to Vollachia** Priscilla: **Die after returning to Vollachia an decade later after escaping death**

Virgin Echidna: Lets make this shady deal where you die 938582947 times so i can get all the knowledge. Chad Priscilla: Do not bring me back. You did great. Stand proud. You are a knight. I have a new favorite Re zero character.

Waiting for jakez123 to do chapter reviews. My man taking forever. Thought it was on break still.

i will miss vollachia man... hope the characters continue appearing next arcs

Every day I thank god for making me a Re:Zero fan

Cannot wait to see how the anime adapts this arc when it catches up to the source material.

The real crime in the world is how little she rule 34 art she has.

Damn ngl I’ve only seen the anime, but her screen time was enough for me to be interested in her, damn that sucks and subaru couldn’t even save her :( but good video thanks mate 👌

Didn't know Chibi was an ER player. I'm so hyped for the DLC. There's only 2 DLCs I know that r their own games: Witcher 3 Blood and Wine and ER: SotE.

I’ve decided to lvl to 250 I’m running a dex faith str build. I want to be able to get all the new weapons and at least try them out so this seemed like the best option. And since the dlc has its own lvling system it seems to be that the meta lvl of 150 is gone for this. Can’t wait

*Remember that Priscilla didnt find out whether people of chaos flame are stronger than people of shinobi village.*

I spent the past month slowly making a Faith build to cheese through the bosses as fast as possible to read all the new lore etc. Of course Fromsoft heavily nerf my main weapon for this - Envoy's Long Horn in the same patch... SC - Wretch Vig 60 Min 35 End 23 Str 23 Dex 22 Int 10 Fai 46 Arc 10 Weapon: Envoy's Long Horn Offhand: Finger Seal Armor: Commoner's Headband, Silver Mail, Traveling maiden gloves, Scaled Greaves. Talismans: Green Turtle, Bull-Goat's, Sacred Scorpion, Shard of Alexander. I have 46 faith because I want to use the Destined Death incantation 'cause I think it fits the narrative for the player character at least for a first play-through of the DLC. I've never made a build higher than level 100 for a FS game but I saw the previews were using 150 characters so I guess that's the intended level.

When I hear about the bad things happening in Re:Zero one thing comes to mind: Now saving... 🌀

I'm a huge souls fan and I just beat Elden Ring DLC yesterday it was amazing especially the final boss. I'm a Katana user. I use all of them, but I beat the dlc with double katana. Nagakiba and Rivers of blood.

I needed to hear that this morning ima make this day good

Natsuki Subaru, the true knight praised by the perfect woman!

I was a maidenless, rivers of blood user

As a writer myself, this is tuesday for our characters

Appreciate Chibi being upfront about Elden Ring. This is a very good game and his honesty is very wholesome.

I don't think anyone else of the throne candidates will die, but if i had to think of someone, then anastasia is probably the next and last one to die (she is already diying).

I read it and it blew my entire 2024. Tapei is on JJK perma death mode now

Ima use whatever's new in the dlc and looks cool lol

I am an anime only watcher, and I am here for the spoilers. Spoilers to me only add for me. Knowing where it will go just gets me excited how it gets there.

This hits hard after mushoku tensei.. and the grandparents turning young again anime

I saw the notification of this video and I had one chapter remaining so I read that chapter first so that I can watch your video ❤

Now imagine the lines of most characters in Emilia's 3rd trial are their last line before dying... some of lines are also like they know about RbD...

Agreed. And they didn’t give Rem enough time to close out her arc in the Empire

Theres a new chapter for al in V38. And its setting something up. And it looks like something big.

Everyone needs to read the Al+Priscilla side-stories. Aldebaran is the most tragic character in Re:Zero, and also the most badass.

Holy crap, as an Anime Only this has me interested to see the upcoming seasons!

I had a rough time with arc7 and even took a break and needed to watch some recap videos and researched some sidestories to get a better understanding of what was happening. but god damn that was worth and the payoff in arc8 was just incredible absolutely great action, great antagonists, all of the new characters were super interesting and got some crazy development and the sheer amount of crazy lore drops and wtf moment that will be super endgame relevant is mindblowing. Arc8 after all of this setup is imo able to compete with arc6 for best arc of the series. The thing i loved the most was the sheer amount of wtf moments and reveals about aldebaran

Some added context, basically the Arc 7 that we got wasn't planned Arc 8, however, is the original (planned) arc. The plan was that it would take place in Priscilla's Estate. But he instead made it take place in vollachia, and had an extra arc to flesh out the empire.

Its 2am when i choise to watch this

Poor Arakiya never got her closure😢

Re:Zero has top tier character writting

Dex build katana moonveil is my fav in particular due to it being the closest every vergil sword

LETS GO ELDEN RING. I understand have you seen the new trailer. Amazing

Imagine Al becoming a sin archbishop, practically impossible to happen tho i know

I felt it in my soul, this video was coming 👀

Haven't read the novels since the last time you talked about it

I hope this video wont start any controvercy considering how braindead Twitter has been regarding this channel recently, keep up the good work Chibi!

I’m catching up with the wn rn and finally reading arc 7 (I started reading the wn before arc 7 started) Now that all of arc 7&8 is dropped I can read it all

Only read the LNs upto vol.2 but I have physical copy upto to vol.19 only(I cannot find them from now..somewhere in my stock room)but still have no time anymore to read the LNs ...so I am now anime only sources.

Rezero is an absolute cinema.

Bruh i called it out on reddit that al is definitely becoming an antagonist in later arcs and then ice confirms it.... I even thought what would happen if al and subaru fought... This is insane

I think Al vs Subaru would be interesting. We know Al persists in the world left behind and says that satella swallows the world when subaru uses rbd and that his authority takes priority over it meaning that Subaru cannot exist in a world with Al dead (unless he can catch him out of the territory or disrupt it? apparently satella consuming the world doesnt disrupt it so idk?) and that Al cannot survive after Subaru dies. Basically both would be trapped like leip barielle but with no way to end it until the conditions of either of their authorities are met, I.E satella being "saved" for envy.

You finnnnally read it huh, I couldn’t believe he actually did it when I first read it myself

Seven and eight turned out very good because of all those reasons plus he knows how to play by his own world building rules. Something writers, for some reason tend to struggle with.

hey if emilia dies, theres still rem.

Love u chibi🔥

Im in no rush to play the elden ring ill probably start the download and replat the game over the next week and get to the dlc by the end of the month

Re zero delivered more peak just as expected Also Shadow of the erdtree is gonna be peak

I think Al’s a clone like sphinx and echidna

Hi Chibi thank you for all the videos over the years. Ill try to invade you in Elden Ring today :)

Man let Crusch get a break. Ever since she lost her memories, it's all been downhill for her and her camp. Istg if that last phrase foreshadowing her downfall....

Shame for Subaru he's going to be blamed everything that happens because of this, the deadlock is definitely going to be the hardest fight in his life.

In a Subaru Vs Al senario depending on when subaru's loop checkpoint starts i dont think it'd be an infinite death loop/go on forever. But yeah if by some bullshit heart of the cards thing happens and priscilla ends up in the ol reincarnation cycle.like yorna did i dont think i'll be too happy about it.

Remember what was said that felix was one said by tappei that he was planed to be a final boss? My guess aldeberan was what felix suppose to be if crusch ended up dead. It could still happen.

My build is a swiss army knife. The DLC is going to be hard. You need to be prepared.

Chibi if you read this comment, Can you talk about the dub in Date a live season 5 episode 2. There is a scene where they talked about Henry Kissinger. In the sub it was a cupracabra. These people put politics into our Anime

I'm going with a Faith/Dex build, using dual scythes, one using flame and the other using holy damage. Also, damn, this ending hurt...

Well, there is one archbishop that has not been introduced, so maybe there is a chance?

Man, Priscilla is so underrated...

Why did she have to die? Can someone explain?

Suffering builds character Chibi :v

How and why did she die?

i dont remember what my build in Elder Ring. I know did alot of BS around. Remember never trust moments like this. Alwayd lend to stuff like this. I learned never trust Flashbacks or happy moments in this type of stories

Why is she perma dead though? I've only read up to the end of arc 6 but i need to catch up

Starfists are the goat, I'm not even gonna use the shadow of the erdtree buffs since they're that insane

1 down, 3 to go

such a peak chapter another Tappei W I still think that Vincent is the best character of this arc but Priscilla definitely is the second best one

Which character is better subaru or arthur(tbate)

How did priscilla die what was the reason for her death

Only hours until the Elden Ring DLC

Has Priscilla ever actually died before this?

sound emotional damage

Hopefully all this novels get into audible to listen to it😂

Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!!!!!

Shadow of the Erdtree is about to be peak I'm going with fast dex/int hybrid build btw if you didn't know there was a new patch and you can use horse in Elden Beast fight now😂

Aye, better not change that title… any more and we will have to fight

Well I am glad that Tappei still has balls I was getting scared after the I know in arc 7 that he would not keep with the brutality of the story up to that point. The real question is what happens to Priscilla now that she has died and how does Subaru's authority of gluttony truly work. I don't think he needs the books to devour peoples souls. He was to take in Shaula's soul with out a book of the dead. It is an interesting question to say the least.
