TRULY BEAUTIFUL… *From Zero* Re Zero Episode 18 Reaction + Thoughts! 

Like if this was also your favorite episode!

lol! That line "I love Emilia" has become a meme in itself, not only in the Re:Zero community I dare say in the anime community in general. But I must say that, despite the hate Subaru received for all the events he has been through, deep down it speaks very well of him, he is consistent with himself as a character.

One of my favourite episodes in Re: Zero for sure!

Subaru rejected Rem because he prioritized her feelings over his own feelings (of wanting to run away and leave Emilia). In the novel: Softly, gently, they awaited the reply from Subaru’s lips. So he wanted to be the Subaru Natsuki she loved so much. “-I…like Emilia.” “-Yes.” Seemingly knowing all along, Rem smiled and nodded at Subaru’s confession. He knew it was an underhanded way to respond to the feelings she had offered to him. He knew he was using her emotions. But it was that Subaru, the Subaru who would not give up on the future of those precious to him, whom she loved

Rem knew how he felt about Emilia already, yet she pours her heart out for him anyway. This episode is a masterpiece, and still gets me all these years later.

Back when this episode first dropped people hated it. Especially from the community that just wants a ship but Subaru always stay’s true to his heart

w chadbaru, this episode is fire, also good reaction bro 🔥🔥, thanks god u didnt hate subaru for not accepting emillia, so much people hate him for this

Yeah what i like the most from re zero is the super relatable mc like every shit he saying in this ep is really hit me like truck bcz understand all of that shit 😢

I know you’re nowhere near there but season 3 is dropping in October and the arcs it’s adapting are PEAK. I think you’ll really enjoy this show continuing on if you enjoyed the writing and themes of this episode.

Yes!!! Rem all the way. But we can't force subaru's to not love Emilia😢 #RemNo.1

This episode is the reason Rem's birthday is a national holiday in Japan.

(comment on the entire series, not this reaction) You do a good job with the edits and sound fx.

Yeah, there is a whole "What if...?" side story that tells what would have happened if Rem agreed to run away with him. Could be an anime on it´s own.

From here there a what if story and it was really beautiful one

Respect for Rem who got dumped Obviously he likes Emilia, otherwise the story wouldn't even get to this point

The collective facepalm on this episode......

After s1 watch Rezero frozen bonds ova to learn more about puck and Emilia backstory

Rem is not entitled to Subaru's love just because she does all these things for him. The same way Subaru isn't entitled to Emilia's love just because he does so much for her. She's a wonderful person being there for Subaru. Helping build him back up after all the failures crushed his resolve and self worth to dust. There's no denying that. But love is such an irrational thing that you cannot control. The anime community was in a massive uproar because of this episode and its just so hilarious to me. The pure irony that the audiences shitting on Subaru for rejecting Rem despite everything she did for him are pretty much doing the exact same disgusting thing Subaru did in Episode 13. Remember what he said to Emilia back then? "Everything I've done, I made it all work out, didn't I? I saved you at the loot house! I risked my life! All because you were important to me! At the mansion too. Things worked out because of me! Without me it would have been alot worse! All of it! All of it! All of it! It worked out because I was there! You owe me a greater debt you could never repay!" Now one could say Subaru's love for Emilia isn't justified. I disagree. He has plenty of reasons to love her. She was the first person to go out of her way to save him and show him kindness when he first came to this world. She's been a consistent light for him in this cycle of suffering. No matter what.. she always believed him and did her best to support him. Subaru has been betrayed, rejected, belittled and killed by people he thought were close. Emilia was the one constant that gave him hope to keep going. She gave him a lap pillow and a safe space to vent and cry his feelings out when he was being overwhelmed by everything he went through in the mansion.
