What did you think of the episode? - Favorite scene/moment?
- Enjoying the series so far?
- What do you expect or want to happen next?
Beautiful episode. If they put all of their budget in then next episode's animation, it will be freaking amazing.
Edit: HOLY CRAP upon rewatch there's Ufotable in the credits??????
I guess they contracted them to do a couple sequences, I wonder which ones
That's a constant build-up. Can't wait for next week ! Music came just in time, emotoinnal moments worked (and I don't like Bea, so it was difficult to make a good emotionnal moment with her, to me), and ultra hyped for the last ep.
And now i'm in quest for this HD screenshot, I need this as a new background lol
Have a 9 different frame captures from that scene in 3 different flavors:
- The 'original' 2560x1440p screenshots
- The above but downscaled to 720p, and then upscaled to 4k using Waifu@2x, and then sharpened in Photoshop
- The above except that Emilia isn't upscaled (I'd recommend this version)
Take your pick. Or pick all of them. Or none of them. Up to you.
You're gonna have to deal with Imgur's jpeg compression though because the lossless png's are huge.
Holy sh*t man ! You're a hero ! Thanks a lot ! ☺
If you have Wallpaper Engine I made a loop version (in 4k and 1080p ultrawide) after some upscaling and stabilizing.
Not gonna lie, Ram got me in the first half. Re zero surely believes in having a badass credit scenes with good ending theme rather than having an Opening.
As usual a 10/10 episode like all other epis. Character development just got into its peak in this epi.
That was so beautiful!....
Following on my theory :
- I noticed that they never show Echidna face in all flashback we got of her time with Beatrice and Roswall but I never gave too much importance, until last episode when Emilia saw Echidna's resting body and didn't recognize her. We got kind of a profile of her there, and it seemed different than what we used to see. Could it be that they hide it from us because it will betray similarities with Emilia and that the Echidna we saw until now has purposely changed her face in her world of illusion to not get affiliated with her as her mother ?
- Beatrice called Emilia "half-devil". Not half-witch... Half-devil. And we know she would never refer a witch as a devil because of her love for "her mother" Echidna. What other devil do we know of ? Hector. Could Hector really be Emilia's father ? Hence why Roswall, who is imitating his behavior, calls Emilia his daughter too ?
On a side note, I love beatrice so much, I cried like a little kid for her.

Good line of thought but it's based on (kinda) faulty translations. There was quite a bit of those, but let me correct this one. Hector isn't a "devil", that's simply incorrect translation. He's a "warlock" (魔人), the male equivalent of a "witch" (魔女). So he's the same as a witch (the only male witch among the 9, if you will). Misleading translation. Moreover, "half-devil" (半魔) refers only to half-elves because they're the same species as the Witch of Envy (many people called Emilia that in the series). The "devil" (魔) in that is the same element in both "witches" and "warlocks". Hopefully that was clear.
More about Hector, he can't be her father because we knew that Emilia inherited the half-elf features (silver hair, purple eyes) from her father.
Enjoyed your first theory, we'll have to wait and see.
I'm surprised to see such a positive reception, as I didn't like this episode at all.
How can he say such things to Beatrice when he's already got Emilia and Rem? This hurts my impression of Subaru, it's pretty shameful.
Why was Emilia so cold to the Ryuzus' sadness at sacrificing one of their own? This seemed out of character to me.
Worst of all was Subaru running repeatedly into a burning building like that. It would have been easier to accept such dangerous behaviour back when he could return by death and consequences didn't stick to him. I had been excited to see him living in ironman mode, where he'd have to be more careful and consequences would accumulate. It's disappointing that there seem to be even fewer consequences now than in the return by death era, where he'd at least have lost his progress from the last checkpoint. Here, he's unphased and unharmed by choices that should have caused lifelong injuries (his hand was burned at first by the door, but is fine by the time he's squeezing Beatrice's hand with it at the end).

It's not romantic. It has never been romantic with Beatrice. That should have been obvious.

Either that, or he actually loses Beatrice forever. Pretty easy to figure out why he'd take such a risk.
Don't worry, you are not alone. It feels like people are happy with what happens with each episode as if nothing else happened beforehand.
What killed this episode for me was the fact that Ram didn't actually die... Like come on, last episode was fantastic, the end was brutal, and all of that was for nothing, Ram still alive.
Last episode didn't need to happen at all then if the author doesn't have the balls to actually let her die.
Anyway one more episode to go and shelve this one for good.
It would actually be even worse and out of character if she did die just like that lol. I thought people would've been aware by now that she's not a simple, small girl and it takes way more than that to kill her. She's Oni. It was explained way back that Onis are literally the strongest Demi-Humans known for their strong body. She wouldn't die from a "simple magic explosion". I actually feel bad for people who thought it would be enough. Aside from that, we're not even sure what will happen. It may be that, for the time being, she's only alive thanks to his magic. She may actually suffer a lot, we'll see.
Another God Tier Episode. Loved every minute of it. Esp when the ending stated to play, that part was amazing
God I love this fucking show
