Yep they don’t realize that 4GB Rem wouldn’t have done anything for Subaru if they first met

2023-05-01 02:54:23 +0000 UTCI don't like RuffSenpai, just too woke in his reactions, and his mods are toxic and he lets them be.. also it's funny because I commented on a video from like 2 years ago of his where his mods were obviously abusing their powers and laughing about banning people, and I said that's not okay for a mod to do, and he ACTUALLY commented back aggressively defending them, saying I sound stupid.. thing is, my comment was the only comment he even responded to, so not only is he way too political for a reaction channel, he is a prick and doesn't care about his fans because he'd rather insult me after 2 years for calling him on his crap

2022-06-02 07:30:31 +0000 UTCMANY People thinks that “OMG Subaru how can you do this to Rem!?” But hey please remember it was Rem who told Subaru “if we run away now, I will leave the Subaru I love behind” right after his proposal to Rem. Rem is not idiot too, she knows that Subaru loves Emilia and that the proposal to run away was not something Subaru really wanted. It was Rem that told Subaru that she love the Subaru that will never give up Emilia. So please respect Rem’s feelings people.

2020-11-12 02:10:45 +0000 UTCSubaru was not cold when he told Rem he loves Emelia. It was honest. To say anything else in that moment would have been a lie, and cruel. It is the most self aware, honest, and respectful thing he says the whole season.

2020-11-09 05:15:44 +0000 UTCya the story with to many plot holes, also the what IF rem wasnt actually the same rem we know in the anime and LN because, i can give million reasons why on that one

2020-11-02 03:21:52 +0000 UTCnow finally two people ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, people just watch to much fucking anime and forget real life what love actually is, its not something that just gos away for someone else or something that just gets bought even though sakura in naruto is hated, SHES ALWAYS LOVED SASUKE that never changed even though they pairing up honestly made no fucking sense but it is what it is

2020-11-02 03:03:31 +0000 UTCwhy because subaru actually listened to his fucking heart and not with his dick? your disgusting pig

2020-11-02 01:54:48 +0000 UTCd reed, just stop your an actual idiot, like SERIOUSLY im going break this down to you, EMILIA gave him the cold shoulder 1. subaru didnt listen to emilia to what she wanted 2. subaru HUMILIATED her infront of everyone at the meeting and basically showed her she cant even stand up to herself 3. subaru told her that their entire RELATIONSHIP was BASED ON A DEBT SHE OWED AND NOTHING MORE 4. emilia didnt help him for a debt, she helped him because she CARED ABOUT HIM like you have no brain at all imagine your friend telling you, im not actually your friend i only help you because of debt and nothing more idc about your feelings at all im just doing w/e it takes to get rid of that debt be on my way, emilia thought she finally found someone who doesnt either 1. PITY HER 2. DEPISE HER. give me a break your brain is small

2020-11-02 01:53:34 +0000 UTCpeople just look at everything black and white, oh this girl who got bit of screen time sacrificed herself then confessed her love before she died = SUBARU HAS to accept her? people minds have actually degraded over the years, like seriously what makes you think emilia wouldnt of done the same? she literally was trying to go into the forest much like rem was to save subaru but puck stopped her its more REALISTIC for subaru to run away with rem because who COULD take that kind of mental abuse? but at sametime subaru running away defies all what he is, rem knows this and doesn't want him to do that but its NOT who he is, in her eyes
Wallet
2020-11-02 01:46:08 +0000 UTCyou clearly dont know anything, rem already KNEW shes being rejected, rem doesn't LOVE the subaru who is giving up, rem already KNOWS subaru LOVES emilia and doesn't want to give up on her you someone who listens with his dick over your own heart
Wallet
2020-11-02 01:44:17 +0000 UTCNo, Subaru wasn't leading Rem on. It was the other way around. Rem always knew that Subaru loved Emilia. Rem kmew that he would never forget that love out of the blue to run away with her for no reason. She knew he was desperate because of some unknown situation so no, there was no leading on by Subaru. Please don't pull a Ruff.

2020-11-01 22:12:02 +0000 UTCWhy? He literally laid the cards on the table before asking for her help. This is as direct and honest as you can get, just like how direct and honest she was.

2020-10-31 10:58:19 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie it still kind of pisses me off how Subaru rejected Rem after everything she has done for him and after all they've been through but I do understand that a beautiful heartfelt confession won't always lead to a positive result if the other partys mind is made up. I do still ship them and probably always will but him asking for her help immediately afterward was just messed up, it was understandable due to the circumstances but from a emotional stand point still messed up. But yeah i don't hate Subaru but he frustrates me sometimes and yet i can relate to him more than i would like to admit.

Kingsley
2020-10-29 20:38:25 +0000 UTCHe was so upfront about his feelings exactly because Rem was so upfront about hers. That's him giving her a chance to let him go instead of stringing her along, because he knows sticking by him might be painful for her, & that's why he doesn't sugarcoat it. That word choice *is the point*.
Jaerek
2020-10-27 17:44:39 +0000 UTCThe author literally pointed out on Twitter and in the novel that it wasn't an act. That scene is from Petelgeuse's perspective and to him, Subaru didn't have enough crazy points. That's it.
Jaerek
2020-10-27 17:40:10 +0000 UTCA nuanced show will naturally have more nuanced perspectives being shared. This isn't a battle shounen, of course people will have a lot of things to say, especially when it's packed to the brim with details, foreshadowing & the such. People like pointing them out so newcomers to the series see the bigger picture instead of the cutesy & flashy spectacle. Those comments are perfectly fine, no one is being mean or condescending either.

2020-10-27 17:35:14 +0000 UTCI'm not taking any credit from the show, but it's really not neccesary to explain everything in comments

LifeNote
2020-10-26 18:06:02 +0000 UTCIt's not the fact that it's about wall of text etc it's the fact that a lot of the comments have seen the show already in it's entirety and have had enough time to formulate their on view and opinions on everything. Rezero just happens to be the type of show to harbor a fanbase on the more aggressive side when it comes their love for the show which there is nothing wrong with..... Defend the show by all means and what you feel is worth defending. The problem I am referring too lies more so with the reactor themselves not having completed the show with their own perspective because it is constantly being shoved down their throats how they are supposed to feel when they have little time to digest what is actually happening in the scenes. If this were a weekly watch for her as well as the comments it would be a completely different story but it's not. It also doesn't help that some of the outlook and views of people in the comments not just with episode 18 but as well with other episodes we will probably see in the future hint a lot more spoiler related hints. It happens quite a bit with many, many reactions of this show. I know people are desperate for reactors to have literally the same exact experience they had for the show they love so much when they first watched it. But you can't force that on someone especially if you have 2 completely different scopes of the show based on completion. A nice example and I will say spoiler alert!!!!!!! Yes people get upset at Subaru in the moment but there are definitely some episodes later on here people realize there is a different kind of love he has for Rem and the fact that he still cares about her regardless. There are many people who have come to the point of acceptance vs being in denial about it in the moment. It's a matter of getting to those points in the show. Season 2 even points to those dependencies even further. Anyways this is just my two cents in essay format...
Desto Samuels
2020-10-26 17:17:00 +0000 UTCGonna go ahead and say this has enough winking and nudging about future arcs to warrant a spoiler warning. Don't read unless you've finished S1! It's funny, because I did dislike Subaru, but it was a "fun" kind of hating, because I was like "WOW this show is really going for it, huh?" and I trusted that there was a legit character arc reason for it and the writing would be solid enough to pull it off (it was). However, where it concerns Rem, I was always completely on Subaru's side - and to be fair, so is Rem. She didn't expect to "seduce" him or something. I always viewed the "I love Emilia" line as someone just following their heart. You can't force yourself to NOT love the person whom you love. So I always thought this scene was an honestly very healthy commentary on how sometimes feelings just aren't reciprocated; or perhaps CAN'T be reciprocated (yet?) considering future events. Anyway, Subaru would be a much bigger jerk if he was just like "YOOO this girl wants me like THAT?! Seeya, you half-elf hussy!" That's hyperbole by the way, lol.
Derrick C. Shields
2020-10-26 15:33:31 +0000 UTCI honestly think your negative view on these comments is more detrimental then any of the comments you talk about. I have read a lot of these so called essays you speak of and most of them were pretty positive about the show and how people feel about it. Its also about engaging in a conversation with the reactor as that is half the point that anyone would pay money to watch a show with a reactor. They want to engage in the same things they are passionate about with other people that are passionate about those things. Don't just assume because there is a wall of text means that its all negative people bitching about stuff.
Kyle Smith
2020-10-26 12:39:47 +0000 UTCI definitely understand why a lot of people hated on Subaru but i never did. Subaru has always been a way more interesting and human character to me then most anime characters. Yeah he has made a lot of dumb pig headed decisions that were based on raw emotion and not pure rational thought but so does every one else in life. Humans are emotional and irrational creatures by nature. It's why i don't like when people hate on Subaru because he doesn't always make the rational choice. He is way more relatable and human to me then most characters because of this. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone grows and learns from them just like Subaru does in the show. It why earlier on i commented about this show being a deconstruction because its all about subverting the norms in this genre but also about subverting the norms for character building. Subaru is constantly torn down but all of this is so he can be built back up into his ideal self. He is not just immediately granted power and everything he could wish for in this world. He has to earn everything he gets and all the consequences that come with it. I also think a lot of people have already made good points on the reason for Subaru loving Emilia. I also think love is also not a rational thing and even though Rem has done far more then Emilia has it doesn't matter at this point because Subaru already loved Emilia. In summary i think the reason i love this show soo much is because it is soo driven on emotion and not rational logical thinking that it makes it more relatable and unpredictable and less scripted.

2020-10-26 10:30:14 +0000 UTC@scorch obviously he’s not going to forget that, but please listen to what I’m saying. {[Do you (yourself personally) believe that PART (not all it) of Subaru rejecting rem is because she killed him in a past reality and that even though you believe that he doesn’t hold a grudge, that he (partly) uses the torture she did to him and the death that follows it to justify his rejection of rem? Or if you want to bring in the light novel then is there a specific thing he says that leads you to believe this?]} That’s all I want to know
D Reed
2020-10-26 06:20:43 +0000 UTC@S1orys I know That’s not the main point now, that’s all I was saying. I didn’t have a problem with him talking about Reasons Subaru like a Emilia until he started bringing up rem killing him as an excuse for Subaru’s rejection

2020-10-26 05:53:07 +0000 UTCIt's a comment section. It's being used for comments. You don't get to decide who writes what kind of comments. It's not as though anythings off topic either
Ruben
2020-10-26 04:02:18 +0000 UTC@S1orys It didn't just happen to be Rem, I deliberately picked her because of the numerous Rem vs. Emilia debates. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Subaru holds a grudge against Rem. He's come to understand why she did what she did and came to love and care about her just as much as he does Emilia. But it's just disrespectful to Subaru when people push their ship on him as if his experiences and trauma don't matter. Well, you're not wrong, I did try to emphasize how Rem's actions has traumatized Subaru and how big of an obstacle she actually was to him. Being killed, being tortured - you don't forget that kind of thing in a month's time. People who haven't read the LNs don't really understand how grotesque these deaths really were. We're talking about eyeballs popping out, bones breaking and creaking, and entrails falling to the ground. Rem really did a number on him. You just don't forget that kind of thing. People get traumatized by far, far less.

S1orys
2020-10-25 23:54:29 +0000 UTC@D Reed That wasn't the main point I was getting, it was more of everyone has done some harm to Subaru while Emilia was the only nice person to him. The example he gave just happened to be Rem. Though in his second paragraph, he did make it seem like Subaru was justified in rejecting Rem because she's killed him twice. I think this is more of him focusing too much on the matter of Rem having killed Subaru twice rather than the reason why Subaru rejecting Rem. I usually don't allude people to these moments because Subaru has forgiven them and more often time than not, the comments on why Subaru should have accepted Rem is usually because Rem is better, Emilia is trash. The whole thing with Rem having killed Subaru is more of a back in the mind kind of thing. It was definitely not the reason why Subaru rejected Rem but as humans, you can't really let it go.
S1orys
2020-10-25 23:49:17 +0000 UTCNah it just added on to it.
S1orys
2020-10-25 23:37:14 +0000 UTCNo, I'm pretty sure Subaru was broken at that point. Everyone has different level of breaking point. Betelgeuse's word of "Why are you acting" was more of I've seen true madness, what you're doing is nothing in comparison to what I've witness. This doesn't mean that Subaru is faking it.
S1orys
2020-10-25 23:20:14 +0000 UTC@Sayyongtou I think Ruben stated some good reason to the situation. There are a couple of things I want to add. Why does Subaru like Emilia? First off and out of the way, Subaru likes both Emilia and Rem, as to why Subaru rejected Rem and chose Emilia you need to understand Subaru as a person. When Subaru first arrives in Lugunica, he was surprisingly happy, and many people including myself would be panicking, he didn't. This isn't a throwaway scene, it's important to his character, you can't make accurate judgement without watching S2 thus I'm not going to delve into further until that episode. All that happiness went away when he enters the allyway and is beaten, the scene doesn't really offer any tension that the viewers have to care about so I don't blame people if this scene is viewed as unimportant to them. Subaru doesn't have any power, he is a "normal" person from Japan, and anyone would be scared in his situtation. Emilia shows up and saved him, the situtation wasn't all that hard to deal with as Emilia easily overpowered the thugs. Subaru noted that even though she was looking for something, she took time out of her day to save someone like Subaru. Once agian, without context from S2, we can't accurately judge this scene completely, but Ep 18 is enough. As stated in Ep 18, Subaru hates himself, he views himself pretty low and for someone to take time out of their day to care for him must have meant a lot to Subaru. You're right when you said that Emilia doesn't remember, but that doesn't mean the moment goes away, Subaru remembers. Let me ask you this, how can you love the person who has killed you, because I sure as hell can't even fathom the idea. Rem doesn't remember that she's killed Subaru, but Subaru still loves her. Even if time resets, those events won't disappeared from Subaru's memories. The second question you have is basically, Rem was there for Subaru while Emilia fails to understand him. Easy one out of the way first, Subaru never lashed out of Rem. If you pay attention to the words Subaru was using, Subaru's words were aimed at himself, not Rem. Even when he was saying "What do YOU know about me", it wasn't aimed towards Rem, it was more of Subaru judging himself. As for the Emilia's situtation, she has every right to be angry at Subaru as he fucked up, and Subaru has every right to lash out because Emilia can't understand why he is doing all of this for her. Emilia can't understand Subaru if Subaru doesn't tell her(obviously not his fault), so you can't really say that Emilia is the one at fault because she's not making an attempt to understand him. If go over why Rem loves Subaru you'll see that the situtation between her love for Subaru and Subaru's love for Emilia is the exact same. Since Frozen bonds isn't watched yet I'll just leave this. Puck <-- Emilia <-- Subaru <-- Rem
S1orys
2020-10-25 23:11:36 +0000 UTCThat's because Subaru is a crazy person in her eyes. No one should see him as sane after going off about someone who doesn't "exist". The comment above me says it best, you can't justify love. Subaru's action to save Rem and Emilia's actions to save Subaru resonates with each other differently. What Emilia did is often seen as simply scaring off the thugs in the alleyway while what Subaru did is seen as heroic by putting his life on the line when he saved Rem. Except many people don't think about how Subaru feels about himself. The little and simple "save" Emilia did for Subaru in the alleyway must have meant the world to someone like him.

2020-10-25 22:22:06 +0000 UTCRuben you speaking the truth!!
Rayn Brooks
2020-10-25 22:02:49 +0000 UTCI love Rem. If i were Subaru i would have chosen Rem. But i do believe what how Subaru did was correct. If he doesnt feel that way about Rem than he should let her know straight out so that it doesnt hurt more in the future. Subaru feels about Emilia the way Rem feels for Subaru. So if he changed his mind that easily than i would not like his character. That would be like someone else confessing to Rem and her changing her mind and going for that someone else. Thats just my opinion. Like i said i would 100% choose Rem over Emilia even before Rems confession.
Eddie or Redd
2020-10-25 20:34:59 +0000 UTCHalf of your point was that rem killed him, “that’s rem, rem did that to him. That’s never going to change” now I haven’t read the light novel but You tell me, is there’s a point during this episodes equivalent in the light novel when Subaru says in his inner monologue Something like “I don’t want you(rem) because you killed me in a past life “ ? idc about Subaru’s taste in women, he chose Emilia because he loves Emilia. I just get annoyed when people say the reason he didn’t choose rem is because she killed him 2 times before and that’s what it looks like you were doing since you Said “If you honestly think you can fall in love with someone who you clearly remember killing you, then I think you're being unrealistic and incapable of putting yourself in Subaru's situation.” with the context of this episode. I brought up him calling her satella because you said that she never gave him the cold shoulder, which she did. Even though it was one time, it still exist
D Reed
2020-10-25 20:22:59 +0000 UTCOMG im the same way! I see it as, if i was in his shoes how would i act? What would i think and do?

2020-10-25 19:19:12 +0000 UTCGod Re Zero fans are gonna scare reactors away from watching this anime. The comments are ridiculous, and it's always the same people on every reaction channel writing full on essays. It's a bit mental I hope the reactor doesn't revisit the comments again.
Desto Samuels
2020-10-25 19:02:32 +0000 UTCWell i must disagree. I also think that Subaru was "acting" crazy, but again we cannot know what the author/animators were thinking when expressing that scene in the novel/anime. We can only interpret the story on our own, and from there create our own opinons what truely happened. Shah, I also think that Subaru was not truely mad at that point, but cannot disclose in this chat, because of reasons that would be spoiling the show and as one who have also read the novels. But hey make your own opinons, just don't belittle others, okay? :)
Sebastian C. Winding
2020-10-25 16:54:05 +0000 UTCWhat Subaru said about himself is, albeit not everything, true; especially the part about his life before the transport to another world. He was a neet, who didn’t really do anything, even though he had the opportunity to. However, after arriving in another world he thought he was the protagonist (ironic, since he is lol) and everything would go his way and he would solve everyone’s problems, since that is what an Isekai protagonist does. However, having no experience with nearly any sort of thing, he was bound to fail (I for example could not hope to beat Gordon Ramsay in cooking while having never cooked anything remotely difficult in my life), but failed to realize this; after all, Elsa, the Mabeasts, it turned out alright, making this illusion stronger in his head. Unfortunately, he’s not the centre of the world, despite being the protagonist. His speech had a core, well more than a core, of truth to it and I loved Re:Zero for addressing all this. It is not only a Fantasy Isekai, but a psychological drama as well. And Subaru... while I can’t relate to him for the most part, I do really like him since he’s a good person after all, despite his motives and actions sometimes. I want to no homo give this boy a hug, with all his suffering. By the way, after 18 episodes, the prolog is now over and it’s Re:Zero

ritsu
2020-10-25 14:04:53 +0000 UTC"Subaru doesn’t ever think of that moment again," yeah, no, you lost me there. Being brutally murdered not only once, but twice, is nothing short of traumatizing. If you haven't read the LNs, then I highly recommend that you do. As you might expect of a novel, we actually get to know his inner self - his internal monologue and thoughts. You see a Subaru that the anime just isn't able to portray. The guy is traumatized, depressed, and suicidal as fuck. You do realize that being called 'Satella' in that world is the equivalent of being called 'Hitler' in ours, right? If a stranger came running up to you and called you Hitler out of nowhere, you'd probably also give them the cold shoulder. Not to mention that people react badly to Emilia's appearance exactly because of her similarities to Satella. What did you expect her to do? Welcome a rude stranger with open arms? Also, Emilia understood Subaru's feelings more than he himself did. He didn't help Emilia to actually help her, but to make himself look better and get on her good side. She picked up on that much faster than he did and him breaking his promise in the Capital was the last straw for her. She needed an explanation from him, which he didn't (and couldn't) provide. But, anyway, you were able to completely miss my point. The point isn't that Rem killed him, but that Emilia hasn't. While the vast majority of the introduced characters has at some point been cold towards Subaru, Emilia never treated him badly. Before Rem came around and accepted Subaru, Emilia was his only light in the darkness. Don't get me wrong, they're both great and all, but Subaru chose Emilia exactly for these reasons.

2020-10-25 14:01:03 +0000 UTCIf it is any consolation, there is an if novel written by the author where Subaru runs away with Rem.
gruntmaster1
2020-10-25 13:33:22 +0000 UTCYea I was rewatching the episode and I WAS NOT happy with this, I guess it could be a thing where the first 8 episodes he kind of fell in love with her and that’s just how it is now, but I DEFINITELY think that he’s subconsciously drawn to her for some reason, His decision doesn’t really make sense (at least not to me) and I get that he’s being honest, but come on, “I love Emilia” like come on, you can’t say “I Feel the same way but I love Emilia “ or something like that? what a bait lol. but If you’re interested there’s a spin-off where she says yes and actually goes with him.
D Reed
2020-10-25 13:06:25 +0000 UTCBringing up the fact that rem killed him twice is and using it to justify Subaru rejecting rem is so retarded, Subaru doesn’t ever think of that moment again After he saves her in the Forest and if he does, It is NOT during this episode, not to mention there’s a 1 month time skip between episodes 10 and 11 so it’s even further back in his mind. Besides you don’t remember Emilia giving him the cold shoulder after he called her satella, or when she broke it off with him in the Capitol because she didn’t understand his Feelings? Remember this episode how rem basically said “tell me, and if you can’t tell me, trust me. Also I believe in you” while Emilia said “tell me, and if you can’t tell me, I can’t trust you” while also not being honest with him. Don’t get me wrong, I like Emilia but don’t use that brain dead “ShE KiLEd HiM TwiCE” argument as if it actually holds any bearing in his decision to say what he said
D Reed
2020-10-25 12:56:59 +0000 UTCAnd Rem was twisted into a pretzel two episodes ago lmao. She’s been folded like 4 times in the last couple episodes. And we all know how season 2 started out, at the risk of spoiling I won’t say more, but you need to go back and rewatch these next few episodes if that’s your criteria for picking your waifu lmao

2020-10-25 09:30:59 +0000 UTCSayyongtou. Emilia was literally the first one to emotionally support him. She left him because SHE BLAMED HERSELF for the way he was acting, believing that she made him feel burdened to her. She formed a contract with a rival to the throne just to protect him. And she told him to shut up during that meeting because it was an extraordinarily important meeting and he was not only hurting the councils already damaged perception of her but also putting himself in grave danger just by being there. I don't know if you realized cause you probably weren't paying attention but Julius had that duel with Subaru in order to save his life cause if he hadn't disciplined him in front of the other Knights then one of them would have straight up killed him in the streets for insulting them. Also Emilia has literally done the most for Subaru but I wrote that all in a different comment thread. Rem Killed Subaru twice without knowing him at all and Subaru had to risk his life for her before she finally trusted him. Emilia has done nothing BUT support him since episode 1
Ruben
2020-10-25 09:24:38 +0000 UTCEmilia literally saved his life twice (from the thugs and from Elsa), gave him shelter in her home and treated him like a friend despite him being a complete fucking stranger, supported him emotionally and defended him despite everyone else not trusting him and trying to KILL HIM (and in case you forgot Rem succeeded in this TWICE) AND despite all this even when Subaru acted like a complete ass in front of her and betrayed her trust she not only blamed herself for his behavior but SHE STILL tried to help him and had Crushe form a contract to protect him (making a deal, especially with a rival for the throne is nothing to scoff at in this universe). Subaru's love for Emilia and everything he does for her is literally based on the exact same sentiment that Rem has for Subaru. She saved him and now he's willing to die for her. Also it goes without saying that you're guy's opinion on how love works is childish at best. He's not going to lie to himself and pretend he just doesn't love her anymore. He loves both of them but Emilia comes first as she was the first one he fell for. You guy's seriously downplay Emilia far too much. Season 2 will hopefully shut down those notions more
Ruben
2020-10-25 09:10:28 +0000 UTCEmillia saved Subaru, a nobody in EP1. Subaru saw just how kind she was, not just for him but to everybody. Rem on the other hand, well, slaughtered Subaru at first. Not a good first impression at all. She became best girl after the forest scene. But Subaru's heart belongs to Emillia first and then came Rem.
Theron Hunter
2020-10-25 09:03:55 +0000 UTCImo the real dick move, and cruel thing would have been to not say it, it was 100% right to be straight with her about his feelings, though it's not like Rem didn't already know them. She didn't say all those things because she thought that way she could get together with Subaru, she already knew he is in love with Emilia, she said those things because she wanted to pull him out of the dark dark place his mind was in, just like he did for her in Arc 2. She basically is the one that encouraged to do this, telling him to not give up, she knew that not giving up would include also not giving up on Emilia, and that was ok with her, it’s the Subaru that is doing his best for Emilia that she fell in love with after all. Though pay attention to his exact choice of words, he doesn’t say he doesn’t love Rem, or that he can’t reciprocate her feelings for him, he simply tells her the one things he is sure of, that is, that he loves Emilia. It’s not really important right now but for S2 it might explain some behaviour. The reason for Subaru’s love to Emilia at this point is similar to Rem’s reason to love Subaru. Just like Rem loves Subaru for saving her back in Arc 2 and helping her overcome her Demons (no pun intended) to some degree Emilia did the same for Subaru. At first it was just a crush on the beautiful girl that saved his life and he spend a fun day with but then in Arc 2 was the point where it changed from a crush to love. While it might not seem like much from the outside the little things Emilia did for Subaru in Arc 2 saved his mind and soul, she was his one pillar of mental support, his one ray of light in that hellish week in the mansion. E.g. the lap pillow, it doesn’t seem like much from the outside but to Subaru it was just that important. Subaru was truly at the breaking point when that happened, without that interaction he would have broken completely. Also he used her existence to justify all the horrific and agonizing shit he had to go through, he needed some kind of purpose to be in this world or he wouldn’t have been able to endure what was happening and he made Emilia that purpose. You might say “but Rem did so much more for him” but that’s not really relevant, he has already completely fallen for Emilia while Rem was still contemplating to murder Subaru (not to mention that Love isn’t based on merit, just like Subaru isn’t entitled to Emilia’s love for the things he did for her Rem isn’t entitled to his love for the things she did for him). When Rem became Subaru’s Pillar of support, he was already deeply in love with someone else and in his with each death further breaking mind, that his feeling went past love straight into obsession. She became his excuse for everything, whatever he is doing and no matter what it is, it’s ok because he is doing it for Emilia’s sake. That is until in ep.18 where he lets everything out, his mind gets a soft reset thanks to Rem and he can see things more clearly.

2020-10-25 08:09:31 +0000 UTCRem is useless. Anyone who sees her as "best girl" is projecting their own weird waifu attraction. Crusch however is top tier, keep that energy. Fuck Rem.

2020-10-25 07:53:46 +0000 UTCYOU IDIOT. How many must it explained for u to not take Beetelguse's words at face value? Subaru was NOT acting. god u idiots just can't be helped.
Shaw
2020-10-25 07:15:40 +0000 UTCHow do u justify love? u can't. He loves her and I think that's beautiful. As we can see from the absurd amount of people hating on Subaru for his decision that they wouldn't have stayed true to their love and gone with Rem instead. It's not really cheating since their not together but it would be pretty scummy imo

2020-10-25 07:13:42 +0000 UTChehehe subaru is cruel but rem did reject him first

Emmanuel
2020-10-25 06:10:53 +0000 UTCI forgot that this episode legit made me cry and made Subaru one of my favorite MC's. Deep down he is truly who he is and though Rem is best girl forever, Emilia is the one the hasn't done any truly harmful. Sure she put him in his place but that's what he needed. I love this episode and can't wait to see you watch Subaru Suffers.
Hector Lange-Sanchez
2020-10-25 05:52:28 +0000 UTCperfectly explained. couldn't have said it better. 👏🏾
Ohara
2020-10-25 05:09:47 +0000 UTCThe thing that a lot of people don't realize is that by being direct with her about this he is giving her a way to let him go. Many people in life will not directly reject someone who loves them because they feel bad, but this ends up just stringing the person along because they have hope of eventually being with them despite not having a chance -- it seems kind to not be direct but it is actually cruel.
Cains
2020-10-25 04:26:59 +0000 UTCOMG, I love to see quick changes in emotion. I was so excited for you to see ep 18. One of my favorite reactions.
? Danish Pup ?
2020-10-25 04:26:11 +0000 UTCDefinitely went through these same emotions while watching episode 18 lol. Rem is obviously best girl, and there is actually a ‘what if’ story that the author wrote that gives insight into what would have happened if they had run away together but there are spoilers for later seasons in that. I think the best way to see it is that Emilia saved Subaru the same way Subaru saved Rem, and while we’ve seen more of the relationship between Subaru and Rem at this point in the series, Emilia is special in her own way. I think it’s a testament to the well written characters in the show. I would die for any of them, but especial my personal waifu, Crusch, who is secretly best girl and I won’t hear any differently.

2020-10-25 04:16:21 +0000 UTCThe infamous I love Emilia episode lol
Tacoacc87
2020-10-25 04:13:41 +0000 UTCAlot of people started to hate Subaru after this episode and I couldn't agree LESS. In fact, this episode only made me love Subaru even more as a character. Not only was his speech on his own lack of character/weaknesses powerful and relatable, he was one of the FEW isekai(in general actually) harem mc's that were straight up and honest about their feelings (I'm looking at you smartphone mc whos name I've forgotten because I couldn't even get pass the first 3 episodes). Just to put this out there but I am all for the Rem ship and I think they look perfect together. However, to hate on Subaru for rejecting Rem is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, Rem went to hell to protect him, yes she is best girl (my opinion xD) but what Subaru did this episode was not cruel at all. In fact, it is far more cruel for others to push their own opinion onto Subaru. If you hate a character because your ship didn't sail, that's just tragic. 99% of other harem mc's would've just left the confession ambiguous and avoided it on the pretense of "dense like a goddamn black hole" and never addressed it ever again til the end of the series. But Subaru has always been a straight forward but very complex/deep character. After this episode it's like everyone seem to forget that Subaru has been to hell dozens of times (Rem literally tortured him in one of those loops) and his mental and physical state should be beyond fatigue but the man keeps on getting back up (with Rem's help this time around ofc). His answer doesn't mean he didn't care for Rem or anyone else but his eyes were simply set on Emilia who was the first to reach out her hand to him when he first arrived in this world. People call Subaru a bitch or a simp for doing so but I suppose in their books, staying loyal to the one you love is actually a bad thing.
Danny
2020-10-25 04:00:09 +0000 UTCBut he was laying his heart out through all of the conversation, saying all the truths he thought of himself, if he went ambiguous at the end it wouldn't have made sense. BTW i love Rem but to me being direct is the best way when rejecting someone.
Jonathan De Castro
2020-10-25 03:25:14 +0000 UTCAs for your reaction, Jamie: Subaru was being so upfront about his feelings exactly because Rem was so upfront about hers. People find his directness cold - which is understandable - but I honestly think that he couldn't have been more respectful towards her and her confession.
Scorch
2020-10-25 03:11:21 +0000 UTCisn't the same thing that subaru does to emilia? LUL
emersonsm
2020-10-25 03:10:20 +0000 UTCAnd that is the main reason that a lot of people don't like subaru :P
emersonsm
2020-10-25 03:04:58 +0000 UTCFor those few in the comment section who're questioning Subaru's taste in women: what are you even talking about? Emilia is one of the few people in that world who's never actually killed (or tried to kill) him. Neither has she ever directly opposed him in any shape or form unlike several other characters in the show. To put it simply: Emilia accepted Subaru when absolutely no one else would. Why is it so weird to fall for the only person who hasn't given you the cold shoulder, who doesn't give you cold looks? Imagine having such a person, such a support system, in a world where you have absolutely no idea who you can actually trust, even within your own circle of friends, because you have actual vivid memories of them humiliating you, betraying you, and/or murdering you in the most brutal ways possible. Having such a person must be incredibly relieving. Emilia is that person to him. Now imagine someone who's mercilessly killed you twice and, at one point, tortured you for information. That's Rem. Rem did that to him. That's never going to change. Even though he trusts her with his life now, he probably won't ever forget his own screams as she bled him for information. If you honestly think you can fall in love with someone who you clearly remember killing you, then I think you're being unrealistic and incapable of putting yourself in Subaru's situation. What I get from you is an actual lack of empathy and understanding.
Scorch
2020-10-25 02:51:31 +0000 UTCDecide for yourself. 1. When he heard that Emilia was in trouble, his first thought was he was happy as he could prove his worth instead of being worried. 2. He was actually ACTING crazed. When betelgeuse says the line "Why do you act crazed?", Subaru wakes up immediately and tries to cover his ears to pretend that wasn't true. He even remembers Betelgeuse's name even though he introduced himself when he was "crazy" and was pretending not to understand anything.
Sumanth Dbz
2020-10-25 02:25:51 +0000 UTCsmf... i mean emilia did help subaru in the very first ep and probaly y he fell for her but that reason alone shouldn't make subaru fall madly in love with emilia especially considering all that rem has done for him. she has died multiple times for his sake and she listen to what subaru has to say and giving him moral support while emilia look at subaru like a crazy person when he lashed out the same way he did with rem.
Sayyongtou
2020-10-25 02:03:47 +0000 UTCI obviously must not have been paying complete attention when you said that haha. Love the reactions though and can't wait to see your next reactions
Tiger95
2020-10-25 02:01:26 +0000 UTCi never once hated subaru because i know that if any one of us were in his shoes, we would act the same way. i actually hated emilia during the whole candidate selection ep.
Sayyongtou
2020-10-25 01:59:26 +0000 UTC@seiji exactly. emilia didn't even do anything for subaru besides helping him the the first ep and she doesn't even remember it. all emilia got for her is her looks and that is probably the reason y subaru "love" her.
Sayyongtou
2020-10-25 01:58:05 +0000 UTCI haven't watched it yet but I can already tell what happened damn guess it was fulish of me to think this was going to be different.

2020-10-25 01:53:20 +0000 UTCHere we go with the comment war, just let people be in the moment of the show at this point.
Desto Samuels
2020-10-25 01:42:21 +0000 UTCok.... answer this. what did emilia ever do to subaru that makes subaru likes her in the first place? the only thing emilia did was help him in the first episode and she don't even remember that moment at all. when subaru was lashing out at emilia she looked at him like a crazy person but when subaru lash at at rem, she was there listening to his every word and giving him confidence about himself. rem sacrifice herself multiple times to save subaru. emilia basically told subaru to stfu and gtfo during the candidate meeting. emilia doesn''t understand subaru while rem tries to understand him while giving him moral support. big difference.
Sayyongtou
2020-10-25 01:37:07 +0000 UTCEpisode 17: So we finally see the White Whale. If you remember it was mentioned in previous loops, it caused a block on the road so each time Subaru got there the cult attack had happened already. This time he made it before the attack, but had to go through the whale's path. I always liked the part where he is talking to himself (but it looks like he is talking to Emilia), you can hear his pain. I really like the ending song playing here. This episode is such a trip with all the Rem stuff. The most important part imo, the witch that granted him his power kills Emilia here. A lot of people forget that in the long run. Episode 18 Oh boy here it is. One of the best episodes of rezero and imo one of the best conversations in all of anime. First off Rem is best girl, if there was ever any doubt up until this point. Second, really like how the show briefly shows bad clips of Rem's death at the beginning when Subaru has control of the conversation, then switches to all the good clips of Subaru when Rem has control of the conversation. I think I was mad when I first heard 'I love Emilia', but I've come to (sorta) appreciate it. Also like you said, his actions show that he really cares about Rem, so while it seems like a giant 'fuck you' to Rem it really isn't. I really like the parallels here between Rem's view of Subaru and Subaru's view of Emilia. Emilia says that 'the version of (Emilia) in your head must be amazing'; Rem says 'what about the Subaru I see'. I think it's true to life that a lot of times we idealize others that we like and sometimes focus on all the bad stuff we did. But the way we see things isn't how they always are. Sometimes we're better than we think we are and sometimes those that we idolize are barely holding it together. And that's the prologue. The reason they use the phrase from zero a lot in this episode is because this is the end of the prologue and start of the series. Some people probably didn't realize but Rezero is a long series. I won't go into too many details, but I will say the series itself has not finished in any capacity. Btw, it's probably better if you do 3 episodes for the next chunk, but I know that's not something that can always be done.

Ernesto Martinez
2020-10-25 01:10:55 +0000 UTCEpisode 18 is legendary, when it aired in Japan it didn’t even have an ad break because they didn’t want to cut up the conversation.
Josh Buckley
2020-10-25 01:09:05 +0000 UTCYeah, and another big reason why Otto pushed Subaru was because of one of the white whale's ability(we'll see later) and it's even more effective on Otto because of his divine protection which made him kind of crazy there.
SalmonYu
2020-10-25 01:07:48 +0000 UTCThat’s literally what I said in my reaction lol
Mechi
2020-10-25 01:03:08 +0000 UTCI never said I wanted him to lie to her, he really could of told her a different way the way he did it was a bit cold
Mechi
2020-10-25 01:01:49 +0000 UTCThe main issue is his love for Emelia that is a huge throw off. It would be a little more different if we saw more justifiable reasons to why he loves her over everyone else
Mechi
2020-10-25 01:00:51 +0000 UTCOh wow, I always thought that the ground dragon just kept going ahead! I'm waiting for Season 2 to finish before I read the WN/LN, and while I've always defended Otto for his action there, this adds to his good boy status :)
Suki
2020-10-25 00:56:01 +0000 UTCFun fact: Otto thought he was sorry for pushing Subaru so he sent the ground dragon back before his death.
SalmonYu
2020-10-25 00:47:57 +0000 UTCThat is all true, I do think Rem is a better character at this point of the story. But yeah the waifu wars that causes people to shit on each character is dumb and redundant
Galen Vaughn
2020-10-25 00:24:13 +0000 UTCRem! Rem! Rem!
Medaka kurokami
2020-10-25 00:22:31 +0000 UTCbecause rem is lierally doing the most for subaru and compared to emilia its like a big difference. makes no sense why he would still like her
yooin
2020-10-25 00:17:30 +0000 UTCso lame how he still likes emilia though, like shes done actually barely nothing for the dude
yooin
2020-10-25 00:16:55 +0000 UTCThe author did make a spinoff Light novel of what if Subaru and Rem did run off together
Daniel Turner
2020-10-25 00:15:20 +0000 UTCI think it's impossible. Rem has gotten more character development and screen time than Emilia which makes it easier to connect with Rem rather than Emilia. What sucks are people who shit on Emilia because their waifu lost.
S1orys
2020-10-25 00:04:26 +0000 UTCi dont understand, people want Subaru to lie to Rem? It was the ultimate test, if you really love me then you just have to accept that i will not love you back.
Jonathan De Castro
2020-10-25 00:03:30 +0000 UTCRem rejected him first though 😅 but I get your point of view , awesome reaction
Mario Mendoza
2020-10-24 23:49:57 +0000 UTCIt gets extremely exciting at this point on now
Frank Rosales
2020-10-24 23:47:16 +0000 UTCSubaru is a great character, EP 18 really shows. People need to put their feelings aside and accept that. Good written character does not mean they need to be liked. EP 18 is really great but I feel like many viewers only saw that Subaru rejected Rem. Imo Subaru did the right choice by rejecting Rem, of course he could've dial the salt back. He only confronted her because he thought there is nothing he can do. This is just my opinion on the matter but Subaru likes Emilia because she saved him. While it may not be as out there as what Subaru did for Rem, Emilia did "save" Subaru. In S1E1, when Subaru was first transported to Lugunica, he was beaten in the alleyway and it was Emilia who saved him. As stated in E18, Subaru hates himself very similar to Rem, and for someone to take time out of their day to save/care for Subaru it meant a lot. While his affection for Emilia is often seen as weak or it came out of nowhere, being saved in that alleyway is very similar to the situtation with the mabeast in the forest.
S1orys
2020-10-24 23:40:26 +0000 UTCBad reason, its literally the same problem Emilia is dealing with. You're judging a character not for who they are but what the fandom is. Get annoyed at the fans not Rem.
S1orys
2020-10-24 23:39:10 +0000 UTCMaybe Subaru loves both of them but he chooses to stay loyal to who he fell for first. Or maybe he just really cares about Rem and doesn’t want to lead her on in any way. But I also feel that Rem knows Subaru loves Emilia, even as she made her confession to Subaru.. the dynamic between the three seems so complicated!
Chris Boxall
2020-10-24 23:38:04 +0000 UTCBad idea lol, I admit it happened to me a lot with different shows, but ultimately it shouldn’t affect your opinion on the character
Galen Vaughn
2020-10-24 23:33:36 +0000 UTCProbably because people he cares about dies left and right. Nothing seems to work and everything feels hopeless.

2020-10-24 23:20:24 +0000 UTCYay, another Rem stan who projects their feelings onto Subaru. Brilliant stuff.... I used to like Rem, then I started watching reactions and reading comments, now I detest her.
Jev Cor
2020-10-24 23:15:03 +0000 UTCHe's just being honest with how he feels and it's not like it was unknown that he loved Emilia.
Tiger95
2020-10-24 23:10:01 +0000 UTCLol I swear every reactor has the same reaction to episode 18. I still wait for someone to react differently and see it from Subarus view.
Galen Vaughn
2020-10-24 23:09:42 +0000 UTCThat speech at the beginning was spot on. Exactly how I feel about him, and I can't believe some people would say you're supposed to hate him.
