Re:Zero 2x06 reaction

Holy fuck I lasted like 5 minutes into this reaction before I had to decide to finally give up on this channel. You are completely fucking insufferable.

Jay Craig

Also Subaru solved everything until now but no need to expect him to do it all the time instead of relying on others. Emilia doesn't know she's in the trial while its happening. You keep contradicting yourself when you say she needs to just face the trial and just let Subaru do it. I'm confused

makimama

Hmm. You said Emilia needs to just face her past and stop being a bitch. But thats what she's trying to do. At the same time you keep suggesting Emilia should just give up and let Subaru do it? Subaru was happy to face his past. But just by seeing Emilia's reaction you can tell its really hard. Taking this trial isn't just to save Garfiel and Ryuzu, but the point is to do the trial in itself. For your own sake

makimama

Not gonna lie I love how snarky Ram is. (Still team Emilia though)

KingRat

I think we have a completely different perspective compare to the characters in re zero because only we know Subaru can come back from death and time travel. We've seen Emilia fail many times but in the current timeline, she only failed once. Just like Ram made a logical decision to cut losses and avoid death when only we know it's worth a try because Subaru can redo everything if it backfires.

Swan

Ha

Tyrone Tyrone

You’re crazy for not saying Echidna

Swan

The only questions left are why and how. I’m so sure that clown is the culprit. He probably even planned this ahead of time before he even left the mansion, another thing I can’t figure out is that why is he getting himself and a whole gang of people trapped in a barrier he should know exist.

Swan

Ram is up front and honest and is the kind of woman that would motivate a man to great heights who otherwise wouldn't try to. Ram this seasons Best Girl🙌...so far.

Tyrone Tyrone

Yeah. I don't think Subaru was in the wrong or said anything wrong, but just taking it from her perspective. She always seems self-conscious; and that can make it easy to take things in a more negative way. Before his death, when he was sitting next to her bed; you can tell that after having time to think about it, she really didn't wanna try again. She probably would have taken the suggestion at that point. Maybe just because it was in front of everyone else, and she hadn't had time to think.

IAmABacon

I don’t think he tried to come off like he was telling her she’s not good enough. That wasn’t what he said and it wasn’t his intention at all. He saw how negatively it was affecting her and that’s why he told her to let him do it so that she didn’t have to go through it. She took it the wrong way. I can see how she might when she’s in that fragile state though.

Chise+Elias

Bear in mind that when Subaru suggested doing the trials for Emily, she had only failed once. Failing once, then having someone tell you you're not good enough isn't the nicest. When Garfiel suggested that Subaru could do it, she had already failed a few times; and he could see the trials were really negatively affecting her.

IAmABacon

the only problem I have with that theory is.. 1. Elsa was actually surprised Subaru came back early which means he wasn't suppose to be there that day. Not to mention Roswald is trapped there along with everyone else how would they have communicated and if they could he would've told her Subaru and Ram ( someone who also wasn't suppose to be there ) were coming early.. I feel like there's another piece of this puzzle missing

Kurumi

Interesting. I only read Ex 2 & 3 just because Wilhelm and Theresia are my favorite characters and I wanted to know their backstory, also I wanted to enjoy the anime fully. Have you read them before? If not I highly suggest it, I even prefer the prequels over the current story

Swan

I don't know how highly you rate Re:Zero. That is to say I don't know if you would keep watching it if you weren't doing reaction videos. I don't imagine you are invested enough or have the time to read the light novels like I did. On the off chance that you like Re:Zero enough to invest a bit of your free time in something outside of your reactions there's a podcast about season one that I think would be worthwhile for you to check out. I've listened to a fair few Re:Zero podcasts and this was one of the more interesting ones. I thought it was good because even though all the hosts were a little bit more negative towards Subaru than me they all had different points of view. They made some good points and counterpoints to each other even when I didn't agree with them. Even when I don't agree with them I feel like hearing different points of view can enhance your appreciation and understanding of a story and it's characters. Anyway here's the link to the podcast: https://www.animefeminist.com/podcast-chatty-af-3-rezero-triangle/ PS. There are some funny Re:Zero mini episodes called Break Time being put up on YouTube a day or two after the main episode airs. My favourite so far is episode 4. Here's the YouTube playlist for them: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXF2SFrs3VZckyuhYxdTcjO0F_1EJT_uZ

Sam

Ah man things would be a lot more simple if the kingdom of Lugunica is at its former glory. I've been reading the prequel light novels and man, Wilhelm and Theresia's generation was the golden era, I am begging the studio to make an OVA movie from that story

Swan

Team Emilia here... as evidenced by the table side conversation, she probably downtrodden by Subaru's lack of faith in her ability. We know that Subaru loves Emilia, but another part of loving someone is believing in them. Right now, Emilia is trying to rise to the occasion, but the one person who cares for her most, outside of puck, isn't giving his full support to her resolve. With her likely difficult past that she is facing, it doesn't help matters in the least one would think. Also, I agree, Ram is a beotch without Rem.

Slammy Adams

True! She does love Subaru!❤️

Chise+Elias

You're right. It's not compassionate and it's cruel. But the thing about life is that it forces people into these kinds of situations. I think Rem would've done the same thing without her memories of Ram since her biggest concern is Subaru's wellbeing instead of Rowswaal for Ram.

Swan

I get that swan, but whether she remembers her or not, they are sisters and she knows that. They have been through a lot together, whether she remembers it or not. That should count for something. It’s just feels cold and heartless. Fine forget Beatrice, she can handle herself, but what about Rem? If roles were reversed, do you think rem would abandon her? Maybe she would. But man it’s still heartless. Leaving is the smarter option for sure. I agree. It’s also less compassionate. But that’s to be expected from her at this point I guess.

Chise+Elias

I don't dislike or adore Ram, but what she's saying is correct even though it's cold. She has no emotional attachment to Rem without her memories of her and Beatrice can take care of herself. Risking your life and doing something that for sure gets you killed is not the same thing. At the very least I respect Ram for acknowledging that they can't beat Elsa and they should cut their losses.

Swan

@AwakeProductions At this point, quoting L from death note. It's not about who it is, it's about why and how. Roswaal must have other ulterior motives, another thing I figured is that he might also be the one forcing Frederica to take an oath, I'm referencing that from something Roswaal said in S1, he mentioned to Subaru that swearing an oath under the dragon's name is the most sacred and unbreakable oath.

Swan

I can understand why you're frustrated at or for Emilia. But now I think she definitely needs to do this with her own strength with others supporting her. She already got out of the white whale+witch cult arc by having Subaru bringing half a kingdom's army to help her. She must prove that she's worthy of being a queen and not a Disney princess waiting for her white knight to save her again and again

Swan

Also, that is a great theory Swan. I was thinking that same thing but thought it was too crazy. But yeah he seems to know how everything will play out as well so it makes sense that he wouldn’t be the one who hired her. But why would he want them all killed? That’s what I can’t figure out

Chise+Elias

I get it. they all just died so if they all left they would have survived. But just hearing her say to abandon them, her friends, is hard to hear. It makes it harder because I like those characters. I just feel like she acts to cold towards other people undeservingly and it irritates the shit out of me. I would never do that to another person. I guess that’s why I can’t help but hate her.

Chise+Elias

I agree she need to get through it. She need to get past this to move on with her life and grow. If all of these people weren’t depending on her I wouldn’t be as irritated. Yes I agree she needs to get through this, but maybe the trail isn’t the best method to get though it though. Maybe it’s just too much for her. She may need to get past it by using another method. Idk though. She hasn’t done it so far so maybe she needs this. This may a tough love version. It is still annoying to see her fail so much though. I can’t help it 😭

Chise+Elias

Also, calling it right now. Roswaal is the bastard behind all of this, who else has the resource and information to employ Elsa and gave her this much information about the strengths, timing, and the number of people in the mansion, she even knows Subaru came back early.

Swan

@vexlion well said actually, now I'm leaning towards guiding Emilia through it instead of doing it for her. In order to be a person fit to be the next ruler of this kingdom, this is something she must overcome. (team Emilia here)

Swan

She's joking though, if you pay attention to it she only does that to her friends, like Frederica and Subaru. She's mostly either reserved or respectful towards others like Rowswaal and Emilia

Swan

I think Subaru should do it. But he could've handled the situation in a way where Emilia doesn't look bad in front of others. And I'm saying that with the consideration of getting everyone out asap. Otherwise, I think it's important to guide Emilia into talking and confronting her past before she walks back into that torture fest from Echnidna

Swan

I also think they should've just left. The only reason Elsa looked less threatening than she really is in S1 was that she was facing Reinhard van Astrea, the strongest knight in the kingdom. None of these guys can take her on

Swan

alright alright cut Ram some lacks, she's just joking with Subaru they're actually good friends, in fact she even let Subaru call her Nee-sama, like a sis

Swan

i could be wrong here but by 'so far' isnt that actually just her 1st try here? To subaru and us viewer yea she isnt improving at all and its probably going to take quite awhile but to her and others in this loop it was only her 1st failure, even in the previous loop she had only failed twice. Its definitely fine to depend on others, in fact thats how we survive, but in my opinion i would be more disappointed if she just agreed and let subaru help her after 1 try. Also facing your past, i dont know what she is going through but based on Subaru's experience, it seems to be about accepting your faults and learn to live better. It seems to be a very personal problem that needs to be resolved in order for you to be a better person and move on from your past. If she gives up here she would probably be stuck in this traumatic past dwelling on it, unable to move on.

She is not doing a good job at all so far. It’s getting really irritating. Yes she can be strong and step up (she should if she can) but if she isn’t capable of facing her past like Subaru was, she is letting people down. These people are depending on her. It’s ok to admit when you’re not up to the task. It’s alright to depends on others. They told Subaru to do that almost all last season. Why isn’t it ok for her to do it?

Chise+Elias

i think its important when we watch re zero, in trying to understand what or why some of the characters did or did not do in certain situation, we need to remember that they do not have the power to return to death, survival is of the uptmost importance here. What Ram proposed to do was right, they were in no position to save others, Elsa was much stronger than the rest of them. Rather than jumping in recklessly and hoping for a miracle, it will only be logical to retreat then. As for Emilia, this trial is not just something that she has to go through to released the people in the sanctuary, the first trial 'facing your past' has become more of a personal problem that she has to resolve it. Depending on subaru on everything is not a solution, i think its nice or in fact brave on her to continue facing the trial despite the suffering. Calling her trash (team rem btw) seems to be a little uncalled for.

Who is Rem?

Christian

Is this some running gag where people still try to forget rem exist? haha

I like snarky witty characters. That's why I like Ram even if she is definitely a bitch sometimes. Well most of the times.

Matthew B

Ram was right they should've just left.Elsa probably wouldn't have even been able to find Beatrice so worrying about her was pointless.. Subaru should've known better since he's the only one that's seen Elsa in combat.. btw idon't remember when it started to happen but yea Ram's sarcasm was never this extreme. I remember back in S1 like ep.4-7 she and Subaru were actually close. I assume like with Garf him changing timelines can also have negative effects on a person personality, thoughts, and actions

Kurumi

this was a good episode. also i think its implying that Elsa's employer is someone who had enough influence to get subaru back in the house in 2 days and Subaru being in pain i think is due to his gate still being stressed from being overused.
