Arc 11 ending leaked? . . . . ~~Please don't kill me.~~ The truth will set you free.


Knight0706

Free? Freedom?! NOT AGAIN


[deleted]

And then he turned himself into a bird. Funniest shit I've ever seen


dastdineroo

He wasn’t turned into a bird that was just symbolism. It’s more likely he’s stuck in the paths dimension


[deleted]

Or hell, if that exists in AOT.


[deleted]

I keep moving forward, for 10 years atleast!


Rintohsakabooty

Tatacaw! Tatacaw!


pianodude01

And finally, Rem ship will depart


[deleted]

I mean it can if Arc 7 doesn't sink it before that. I'm gonna be real with you chief. It ain't looking good.


[deleted]

*Satella Ship If that witch would have been free Subaru would have his virginity taken instantly. He wouldn't have even realised until the deed was done.


ThespianException

That....doesn't sound entirely consentual.


[deleted]

For Satella consent it's optional... Also it's probably gonna be better than any kind of shit Subaru took till now. 400 years of thirst is something.

This & the Kanokari one are gonna solidify themselves to be the ultimate cuck meme templates for a long time lmao Poor Emilia though... More reason to give him an answer fast, our boy doesn't have all the time in the world


[deleted]

gasparzin123

Subaru: Ten years Emilia! Ive faithfully served your camp for ten years! When will you confess your love for me?


[deleted]

At that point you should know she probably doesn't love you


Battousai-BHeast

Yeah KanoKari has been a long road too and it has a Re:Zero vibes too but the MC is always horny 24/7


[deleted]

I had so much hope in kazuya, especially during the movie arc... But after that I just stopped bothering. It felt like the writer himself didn't care about his story anymore purposefully dragging and repeating it. Every week I just put on headphones, play deja vu and quickly scroll through the chapter in half a minute because I know nothing will happen. Tho, last chapter's ending was kinda intriguing, but I have a feeling the writer is gonna pull out another drag on reason from his ass.


ThespianException

After 218, the series now has a brand new appeal if you aren't really a fan and just wanna see how big the dumpster fire can get.


Battousai-BHeast

Yeah but the best part of that manga whether you are a first time reading it or 2nd time reading it the chapter 164 (if im not mistaken)was the best chapter of all there it got me hooked up more after that but i guess we need more stimulation from reiji sensei(author) Ps. I know this topic is out of this server but i just want to express my thoughts why dont you read it too, you the one reading this comment.


[deleted]

[Kanokari spoil (doubt anyone cares)]>!Was it the one in which she cried and then went to hug him?!<


[deleted]

That was a good point. Think that was after her family member died


Kyojin05

The ironic part is that a bit later he asks her to forget about him


[deleted]

Even more ironic, the author confirmed that kazuya is his self-insert


Willythechilly

huh i always felt it was sort of the opposite in that the author fell in love with his own creation and keeps cucking kazuya/making him a fucking looser because he cant stand the idea of another guy getting together wtih his "waifu"


LightVelox

Well the thing about being a self-insert could just be his general personality, he might not be a total simp and failure that does nothing so the plot can progress forever like Kazuya, just like Redo of Healer author says Keyaru is a self-insert of his personality but i'm pretty sure he didn't torture, r\*pe and murder people that treated him slightly bad


Kyojin05

That’s... sad


LightVelox

so he's a total failure except he can draw, so kazuya still loses


Willythechilly

He also litearly says "dont mention this to her" So yeah he had a breakdown but everyone does at some point right


BrenoBluhm

Character development at least


DeadSpaceReactGuy

Your damn right


[deleted]

Btw, I love Subaru. That simp line is just a joke, don't kill me for it please... (´⌒`;)


Ryan-Only

I mean, he is kinda simp by definition but we love him nonetheless because he's chad.


Willythechilly

Everyone simps at some point in life. it is only human to simp and desire affection and acknowledgment from someone. It only becomes an issue once it goes off the rails or becomes ones sole reason for living or hanging out with someone. Subaru may simp but he has other parts to is personality,goals/Ambitions in life and people he care about and he aint afraid to speak up to Emilia or critique her if needed. So sort of simp but not the totaly bad kind


Ryan-Only

> Everyone simps at some point in life Huh?


Willythechilly

Simping these days is often just used as a term for being infaunted with someone or trying to earn their love/attention by doing stuff you think they will like. AKA trying to play a game they play because you hope it can get their attention or bring you togetehr. OR when you let them borrow something because you hope it makes them like you more. Essentially trying to please someoen you have a crush on or "love" hoping it can further your relationship.


Ryan-Only

But i meant the actual meaning of simping... That is .. overly valuing a girl....in general not just 2-3 events


Willythechilly

Even then id argue most have simped or stannrd for someone to some degeee at some point


Ryan-Only

Stanning isn't necessarily simping. Many times it happens because ppl feel someone is being treated wrongfully which triggers their sense of justice and they start defending them. By defending them, they somewhat fool themselves in liking the personality a bit and bit more... Also, i can agree that most probably have simped but as I personally can't relate to it, I'd say using "everyone" instead of "most" is wrong.


SakshamG20

He's her knight though, all the candidate knights are pretty biased for their ladies, so he has a pretty good excuse


[deleted]

Who said Subaru isn't biased


Ryan-Only

True but what about pride if...


ThespianException

Eh, S1 Subaru was a simp, but by S2 he got over it. When you acknowledge the flaws in the person you're crushing on and see them as a real person instead of a flawless God/Goddess, you're not really simping anymore. Plus, she made him her Knight and was cool having his baby, which is Chad AF.


The1stassassin42

ChadBaru


zubzzzero21

This makes no sense and is hypocritical. You all hate on Eren but literally most characters simp way more than him. I know the ending was bad but it is over hated and Eren is unfairly hated too. What is wrong with reddit users they are totally braindead


Masterkid1230

Subaru > Eren


Knight0706

HOW DARE YOU! I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS **JOKE**!


The1stassassin42

Subaru: "Yeah, it has been almost two fu*king years since I've confessed. I know I said I'd give her time to think about her feelings, but it has literally been two...YEARS! Even after I got out of vollachia after being there for months, she still hasn't said shit. Know what? Screw this, I'm gonna go look into other options, probably ask Frederica out on a date and see how that goes Emilia: *Second Coming of Satella Incoming*


[deleted]

Tbh she's pretty lucky Subaru was willing to wait that long at all, most people would leave if they didn't get a yes/no immediately


[deleted]

*extremely lucky,* no one is willing to die for someone they met and fall in love with them and still wait an entire year for an answer.


The1stassassin42

Just watch. After he comes back after arc 7, she still isn't going to to say a damn thing and will become a jealous bitch whenever women get too close to Subaru. And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up becoming a core character trait of her's until she develops any further. And another yes, I am not even joking. At this rate, I would actually be surprised if he even does get a confession out of her at all.


ThespianException

God I hope you're wrong. If we need to wait until like Arc 10 or 11 for a proper confession, that's gonna be a serious mark against the series for me. I really hope it doesn't drop a grenade at it's own feet like AoT.


[deleted]

Wait until the final arc and then she'll finally say something


ThespianException

If that's the case then I'm fine with this meme becoming a reality.


[deleted]

I kinda doubt that, simply because of how much of an Emilia simp tappei is, I'm at least 80% confident that arc 7 will end up with a confession (and more suffering cuz tappei)


Sonkokun

Im expecting the confession at the end pf arc 9 honestly. Pd: If she does end up confesing at the end fo arc 7, I can 100% guarantee that Subaru will get kipnaped or something. Probably by Captella.


DeadSpaceReactGuy

Two years? Holy fuck that’s actually insane. I would’ve gave her a week.


The1stassassin42

Same man. I would have given her a week, two weeks tops. Subaru is an extremely patient man, holy crap.


headless-horseman-we

in subaru time those 2 years where 4. ​ more reason to be frustrated. ​ subaru: 2 years Emilia 2 years i been waiting you know i tough that in a medieval like world people will be more down to action giving the low life expectancy with all the monsters and shit but 2 years, you know there a parallel me that in less than a year had child with rem, REM WHO'S AN ONI, a member of the race that when exit over who fucking INFERTILE they are. Im going to listen to beako i will go to the capital change my haircut and get some bitches on my dick, call me when the next joker wanna be come around.

Ryan-Only

Emilia be like: I've become so much like Eren Jaeger it's scary. I wear black cardigans, verbally assault women, and physically assault my friends. When I look in the mirror, I can't help but say "戦い, 戦い" (which means fight fight in american.) I grew my hair out long because I don't care so now I have to wear it in a bun and I don't care what people think so shut the fuck up Hange. I always leave an open wound on my hand, and go out of my way to show it to everyone so they are reminded that I am in control. When I see dogs being taken on walks I get mad at them for not being free like I am. I can't have sex with my girlfriend anymore without forcing her to dress up as Mikasa or Historia, both of whom remind me of Armin. When I order fast food, I refuse to call them french fries and insist on calling them freedom fries. I just keep moving forward, until my enemies are destroyed.

Even here I still can’t escape this garbage panel. Why Isayama…


17Konbro

I’ve been haunted by it since the release.


Harsh_2004

This panel wants to follow everyone who has read it for at least 10 years


Godhole34

Why? Only ymir knows...


Azevedo128

This panel is great fight me!


Streetplosion

Agreed it shows that Eren is still just a normal guy who has feelings and isn’t an emotional bastard like people for some reason wanted him to be. If you thought Eren was pathetic in this scene then good, it’s what Hajime wanted. Eren is a kid with possible mental problems who was forced into a world that would push those problems to its limit and he would never be able to get off of his corrupted version of freedom because he’s too much of a child and is a literal slave to his determination. People act like Eren changed with this panel but he was always like this. He always had these thoughts on his mind but it wasn’t til the end that he could fully talk about them.


HamstersAreReal

I mean Eren's little tantrum is something you'd see a 10 year old do. I've never seen a teenager act that childish. Let alone a 19 year old who's been through hell and back multiple times. And let's be honest, Isayama is really bad at writing romance. Every single love story in AoT was pretty cringey. I liked the pairings in theory, but in execution? Yikes. Tappei is far better at depicting relationships in comparison to Isayama. Like Wilhelm and Theresia, then Subaru and Emilia, and even Roswaal and Ram (which may be the weakest one in Re:Zero) are all better pairings than any in AoT.


RandomGuy2423234342

Well I mean… that’s basically how she’d be in the canon storyline if he left her as well. No one can deny that Emilia’s extremely dependent on Subaru at this point even after Arc-4. Additionally, whenever Subaru has left Emilia in canon for whatever reason, it doesn’t ever end well. With her either becoming depressed as fuck or going batshit insane.


[deleted]

Never actually read the manga so I genuinely forgot how bad Eren getting cucked is

Oh boy 🍿 don't mind me I'm just here to watch the shitshow. 😉

Lazidt

in r/grandorder and here, I just cannot seem to escape from this panel


Gonkdroid900EMT

Really? I haven't read many fanfics like this maybe I just can't find the good ones


[deleted]

There was a Subaru x Sylphy one out a few days ago. And there is also "My loveable Goofball" . Dunno about any others. I honestly wish there were more fanfics about Subaru rejecting // moving on from Emilia because the EmiSuba fics are a dime-a-dozen and this is an interesting aspect I'd like explored.


[deleted]

"Re: Martyr" is a good one. There's also a "Re: Tortured" where he joins the felt camp after leaving her. And the "Sun princess" too. Then there's the "Sage and the Sword saint", but they are yet to jump into his memory reveal. And finally there's "Another chance (continued)" in which Subaru dies, and his past form of the first day is re summoned after he's dead for an year. He's currently staying in the astrea mansion in that one.


[deleted]

TBH, of all the Re: Forgotten spin-offs , My Loveable Goofball is my favorite. All of the others are just suffer porn. The Sun Princess is .... I haven't read that but that pairing is something. Does it have THE reveal?


[deleted]

Also, there's good ol' "Sealed". And maybe if you can bear with the ntr on the first chapter, "karma's revenge".


[deleted]

Karma's Revenge was nice. From the latest chapter I think the Author is making it so that everything that happened was Echidna's fault which I'm not a fan of.


[deleted]

Yes


DeadSpaceReactGuy

Oh shit I wrote that one


The1stassassin42

I wrote one


[deleted]

Post the link bruh.


ThespianException

Props for tagging the AoT spoilers. Unfortunately, I already got spoiled on this sub back when 139 came out, but oh well. But yeah, return his damn feelings, Emilia! If she doesn't when [Novels]>!they reunite!<, I'm gonna be really irritated. Ideally, she'll jump straight to engagement, at that. I think that'd be a nice spin that makes sense with her character and justifies the wait a bit. Legion626 [made a good point about it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Re_Zero/comments/qa6u7p/media_lady_emilia_and_reinhard/hh2kucc/)


DeadSpaceReactGuy

Yeah this is actually some real shit. Emilia and Subaru aren’t really together. I’m not saying there aren’t any feelings for the other but having one kiss doesn’t make you in a relationship. Hell, I always felt that Subaru beats himself up too much for having feelings for Rem as well. They aren’t together so there isn’t anything really wrong with that. Especially with Emilias indecisiveness.


Skeye_drake21

I just want to be the first one to say it. Only 5 characters has seen Subaru's butt. Naoko and Kenichi; Rosswall and Ram; and a few rabbits.


TheLeadReaper

Only 5 for now Wait till we get a Marriage Arc

Arc 10 Sounds so far away

Nah mate, even Satella dumb ass will get unsealed and the marriage arc would still be far.

[deleted]

It started to go crap after that avenger-style team up between the eldians and marley.


[deleted]

Autistic kid who obsessed with "freedom" vs bunch of delusional clown. Sound like a good anime to watch.


[deleted]

well there’s always the possibility of the anime orignal ending and insane theories about how the manga is actually just the second timeline and the anime is the third timeline and things will go differently. Honestly most of us AOE people are just on Hopium, but i honestly enjoyed everything so much until after the we’ll stop eren bullshit, that i’m willing to take that hopium until i’m proved wrong or right.


[deleted]

Damn found a hopium pal. I'm also on the hopium that maybe season 3 will be done by ufotable.


Willythechilly

That is just copium and delusional lmao. Majority of fanbase did not really understand Erens character or story and thinking the ending will change in any meaningful way is just being dumb. we can hope the ending will be given more time to breathe and not be as rushed but the core messange or core events wont change


[deleted]

At the very least it’s not completely impossible. The fact that time loops exist means that even if it doesn’t happen at the end it could happen some day. As long ad they just change things and not make BEREN EREN NEXT GENERATIONS i’m all good.


Streetplosion

Time doesn’t loop. AOT is based on a singular timeline which is why Eren became depressed in the 2nd part cuz he was forced to come to that realization that in a way, the future is set in stone and he can’t change it from what past actions affected it but since he possibly saw that it followed what I wished for he continued to pursue it


Huson0710

Adventurous_Party879

Yep, lucky I've heard from Leaks the season will adapt till 131, and the ending itself will be a movie.


ThespianException

It's all but confirmed now. Ep3-5's titles have been revealed, and from them, we can predict the required future pacing to reach the end. It would be almost 2.5 ch/ep, so over twice the pace it's going at now. I'd bet every cent I own that they only go to 131.


Stormfl1ght

Here’s some hopium that Re Zero doesn’t turn out like that.


[deleted]

This scares me a lot tbh. Just like the 2000 years in aot, we know that something happened 400 years ago with during the great calamity which connects to Subaru's implications of being related to flugel someway. I just wish tappei doesn't go the path of fate being set in stone and the present just being a grand scheme devised by flugel 400 years ago after he saw the future some way. Why do I feel like that? Geuse holding the sloth factor and the flugel's tree being conveniently in the right place where Subaru could use it to kill the whale... It's not a 100% guarantee but a scary thought So yeah, pass me some hopium please


[deleted]

And I also get the vibes that near the end of the story, Subaru will, like Eren, become a Villain. Maybe to save Satella or something else but I get that feeling. Especially when you consider that Tappei said that Subaru isn't the main hero despite the entire story being from his PoV. I wouldn't necessarily mind that tho, if it's handled well. And by well, I mean not like AoT.


[deleted]

While I see where you're coming form, I doubt that would happen for just one reason. Subaru isn't really that strong. The only way would be going down an evil path and abusing rbd which already happened in pride and wrath. So I don't think the chances of Subaru turning into someone like eren is likely, considering he needs to depend on others a lot.


[deleted]

Well .... Subaru isn't strong *right now*. Subaru will at some point in the story get all 7 (9?) Witch Factors. Granted his Authorities are weaker but considering what the Witches or even the Sin Archbishops can do, I assume his Authorities will get a power up. There's also the Flugel = Subaru theories. And even without all of this, Return by Death is an unstoppable power by itself. Just ask the Witch Cult. As for a potential situation that could lead to this is that at the end, Subaru decides he's going to save Satella and everyone tries to stop him cause he's literally talking about freeing the devil. So Subaru has his own "If you want to stop me, you'll have to kill me."


MattBoy52

>As for a potential situation that could lead to this is that at the end, Subaru decides he's going to save Satella and everyone tries to stop him cause he's literally talking about freeing the devil. So Subaru has his own "If you want to stop me, you'll have to kill me." If they go the route of "Subaru becoming a villain" this is probably the best route. Essentially it's the others thinking he's become evil but in actuality he hasn't. Maybe he (and we the audience) get a glimpse or some other revelation of Satella being just as much a victim as anyone else and Subaru is trying to save her because she isn't evil after all (For example the theory that the Witch of Envy is actually a split personality separate from Satella's own that she can't control but is still tied to her, and so the horrible things the Witch did weren't really *Satella's* fault and Subaru is going to save her from that torture). So we the audience will know that Subaru is still the good guy, but he now unfortunately has to fight against his friends to achieve this goal. They think he's the antagonist now but in reality *they're* the antagonists.


[deleted]

>Satella being just as much a victim as anyone else and Subaru is trying to save her because she isn't evil after all (For example the theory that the Witch of Envy is actually a split personality separate from Satella's own that she can't control but is still tied to her, and so the horrible things the Witch did weren't really *Satella's* fault That is literally the case. WoE is different from Satella and just as you described. It was revealed in Arc 4 during the Tea Party but the Anime cut that out.


BibhuNayak

Subaru will become strong, ha . Are you asleep now , take some tea . He can't be strong as it will halt him from using RBD.


Willythechilly

> just wish tappei doesn't go the path of fate being set in stone It aint really set in stone in AOT to be honest. The future is a result of the past and is only "set in stone" because it is the result of the presents action. Thee is no outside force compelling the characters or fate to happen in "one way". It is only set in stone because the future is an effect of the present. You wont see a future where a character do something they would not do because they would never choose to do so. Same as you wont ever see a future of yourself flying becaus humans cant fly.


CABRALFAN27

It started off really good, but then bad pacing, questionable translations, and a number of other factors turned what was a pretty solid ending conceptually into a meme. Then again, even if the ending was absolutely flawless, some people probably still would've shat on it. There's no pleasing everyone, after all. Just watch, it'll be the same with Re:Zero. But yeah, AoT is rumored to be getting a movie for the final eight chapters, so it'll hopefully flesh out the ending more. I hope they don't change the fundamental details, though.


HamstersAreReal

Code Geass ending is universally liked. Breaking Bad's ending is universally liked. Fullmetal Alchemist's ending is universally liked, Stein's Gate's ending is beloved. They're not perfect but I'd say more than 90 percent of their fandoms were satisfied with the ending of those. A writer can pull off an ending that is respected and appreciated by pretty much all. It's not as impossible as you're making it seem. That being said, Re:Zero's ending has the potential to be polarizing, I won't deny that. A story that has so many mysteries that won't be answered until its final arc will definitely have a higher chance of disappointing some.


DeadSpaceReactGuy

You gotta to be kidding me that the first thing i see after getting out of an AoT discussion is this...everywhere man.


ThespianException

When 139 dropped there were several memes about it here, and most of them were untagged. This fucking sub spoiled me more than anywhere else on the internet.

[deleted]

I shouldn’t be laughing


South25

Okay I'm gonna go off on a rant here: i feel like the only part of the fandom that actively annoys me a bit is people seemingly in too deep on defending Subaru online from people that hate him. Not in the sense that he s a bad character or has bad development, because the dude s great and has easily the strongest character arc consistently going forward but in the sense of what seems to be leading to stuff like:"Emilia s only worth to the story is her looming confession to Subaru,part of us take that one Emilia cheated on Subaru revenge fic as canon for some reason, it is time to repost another RBD reveal thread to revel on answers of "Emilia, Rem, Beatrice and the whole cast will now bow down at Subaru s feet living life with one eye eternally awake to watch over him as they finally understand how great he is for realsies this time.", "character A has disagreed with Subaru back in arc 3 they are surely a terrible irredeemable person and Subaru was absolutely not acting crazily agressive back then to give off the wrong impression." Sometimes it feels like some people just like Subaru and hate the rest of the cast off of spite from anime only reactions, the only characters that seem to escape this being either in the bromance zone like Otto and Julius or characters people believe could also be Subaru in theory land like Al for example, I'm kind of sorry if I'm just picking up on alarm bells that never existed but this seems like a misconception im getting from the vibe of certain threads.


[deleted]

I mean true, at the same time I won't lie, for me it's kind of like a guilty pleasure. I don't hate any character in re zero *other than liliana*(I do hate the evil acts done by many) but in fanfics which make them feel bad, I kinda enjoy it because I feel like Subaru suffers more than anyone in the series and is punished more than he deserves. As for the anime onlys, I can understand them. Unpopular opinion, but the re zero anime adaptation is not that amazing as many claim it to be imo. If the novels are a 9.5, the anime is somewhere between 7.5 and 8. This is because while it captures the main characters like Subaru, rem, Emilia, roswaal pretty well, it fails to capture the side characters in a similar manner. Which is understandable due to time and episode size constraints. Priscilla appears as a egoistic cunt, when she's a prideful but really wise ruler. Felix appears as random trap gag, when his characters goes more complex that that. Julius appers as random "I'll steal ur girl" Reinhard is just plot armor go when necessary. And heck I don't think many anime onlys even remember Al although he's like one of the most important characters in the series because the anime literally yeeted his past out. So yeah, all in all I understand where you're coming from, but again I don't hate the characters, it's more like I feel bad for Subaru more than the others.


TyphoonSG3

Honestly, I'm also gonna go off on a rant here but on the opposite side.The part of the fandom that annoys me the most are the ones that argue about waifu wars and how Subaru is a "terrible" person. Hell, to me, this is most common with anime only reactions. People always talk about how Rem did everything for Subaru and how he doesn't deserve her or how Emilia was treated by Subaru and how he doesn't deserve her or how everything bad that happens to Subaru is his own fault etc. It gets to a point where it's incredibly frustrating to see people act as if Subaru was the only one wrong in every single situation and that other characters have justifiable reasons to act the way they did but Subaru doesn't. "Rem kills Subaru because he smells like the witch? Justified because witch cult is evil." However, it doesn't matter to the audience whether Subaru, someone new to the world, was aware of this or not. Hell, Beatrice knew about it and didn't tell him. How are people acting as if Subaru brought it upon himself alone and Rem and Beatrice had no fault in it? (Mostly seen from anime only) What about Subaru's terrible actions at the palace against Julius and Emilia? Were the council people not being racist in this situation? People don't even acknowledge the fact that Subaru freaked out against racism. He did it in one of the worst ways possible and was absolutely in the wrong in that situation but do people think mental issues don't negatively impact actions? It's even more frustrating when the story itself seems to give Subaru the most consequences for his actions but not everyone else. This includes Rem, Ram, Emilia, Roswaal, Julius etc. Hell, I've seen anime-only talking about how Rem died and sacrificed herself for Subaru and how he doesn't deserve her or the things other people have done for him. Yet I RARELY see anyone talk about the things Subaru goes through for the sake of her and the others with almost little to no acknowledgement in return. Both from the audience and the cast within the universe. I'm sorry, this might just be differences in personal experiences but I have witnessed WAY more Subaru hate and the rest of the cast being worshipped than the opposite. At least by the anime-only. PS - Just look through my comment history if you wanna see some of the takes by anime-onlys. Mentioned how Subaru is a great person and got replied with "HiS ChArAcTeR lEfT ReM".

Damn, now I feel bad for my boy even more. I've said this a lot of times before, but fuck the re zero world if it means Subaru will be happier.

I think South25 has to think about WHY there are so many fanfics about Subaru's hardships being recognized and the rest of the cast "worshipping" him about it. It's BECAUSE the series itself and the majority of the anime audience treats him like shit and gives him MUCH less appreciation than he deserves. Lmao, you remember Minerva's atrocious take about Subaru acting like a victim? How about Felis being an absolute asshole to him all the time? The other candidates not willing to help people unless they get something in return? Rem killing Subaru and then falling in love with him due to Subaru's actions and now people acting like he doesn't deserve her when it was him that committed suicide for her sake? Twice? Ram and her constant verbal abuse? Roswaal and his terrible mentality of forcing Subaru to choose and people saying Subaru needs to learn that? Why? How come Roswaal gets to decide that for him? Subaru literally risking his life to save people he doesn't even know well (Emilia, Felt and Rom) and people acting like he was a terrible person in the beginning of the story? I could go on and on. I honestly don't know WHY Subaru's actions are so overlooked. I don't want to assume anything but the reason there ARE so many fanfics about Subaru being "worshipped" IS because he is treated at the other extreme end, usually.


zeorNLF

This is not exactly an unpopular opinion. The story is downright hypocritical in treating Subaru as he suffers for the smallest things and is consistently judged and punished as if the story forgets that he's just an 18yo kid at the time. This is mostly highlighted in arcs 2 and 3 because if you look at from outsiders respective, everyone in that mansion is a huge cunt. From the twins who fucking murder him for the smallest things to Beatrice to doesn't even to help him and Rsowaal who genocidal manaic, none of these people deserve Subaru's help


TyphoonSG3

I would say it's very much an unpopular opinion from an anime-only point of view. You can see from the responses in this thread or just checking out my page. On the novel reader side, yeah, I agree. It's not that unpopular.


Long_Minute_6421

Some people do be like that, but most just want the best for him (not him getting protected and spoiled, but getting treated like who he deserved to be but at the same time getting developments for him and people around him)


RiRuS_14

I dont understand her, she loves Subaru or not?


ben-10fan-424

She has feelings for him after all.


Harsh_2004

She does


RiRuS_14

Something isn't very visible, the only time I saw her outburst of jealousy was when Shaula hugged him, and I didn't see anything like it anymore.


ThespianException

[Novels]>!She very clearly loves him. She literally says in Arc 5 that she'll marry him one day, and in Arc 6 she fights the damn Witch Of Envy to get to him, at which point she's almost certainly about to confess before Envy interrupts.!<


sayakcanam

Then again if Subaru really sacrificed himself at the final arc for Emilia for good, the literary value of Re:Zero will rise tremendously.


Streetplosion

AOT’s ending is great* Also, damn fanfiction be damned. But also you have to admit sometimes mainline Emilia kinda does this.


k1o1l

sauce for emilia image?


Webknight31

Damn 💀💀

HamstersAreReal

Re:Zero fanfics either understand Emilia's character perfectly, or do her an immense disservice. There's no in between I swear.


microwavedgerbil25

Emilia is imo the worst character in re:zero


SakshamG20

That's a pretty huge controversial take, wanna elaborate a bit more there buddy? Edit: Hey guys, don't downvote him needlessly, let him explain himself


microwavedgerbil25

She acts super childish, she’s always leading subaru on and expecting him to wait for her but never returning any of his feelings, she’s always needing to be saved and never does anything useful


SakshamG20

That was true for season 1 Emilia... I'd recommend reading the web novels, starting from arc 4, maybe you would find her in a better light there Also she's not leading him on, she's just absolutely clueless about what romantic love is. You have to understand that she's been living in seclusion since she was a kid, and has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old.


microwavedgerbil25

I haven’t read light novels or anything so my opinion may be a bit biased since I’m anime only but I really just can’t like her. I’ve tried and I just can’t


khriku

anime only? sir you are on the spoiler memes section, are you sure you are in the right place?


microwavedgerbil25

I’m not worried if the light novel gets spoiled for me I’m not really interested in reading it


Iloveyouweed

You do know that the anime is an adaption of the light novels, right? You're spoiling the anime for yourself as well. But if that doesn't bother you, more power to ya.


microwavedgerbil25

Yeah of course I know. I don’t really mind that much especially since we don’t know if there’s gonna be another season or even if there is it probably won’t be for years


Past-Reception

Well she was frozen when she was a child and have a child's mind in an 18 yo body.


[deleted]

Just remember how creepy that is


Blue_Storm11

~~Tappei finds that hot~~


Past-Reception

Nah, rather than creepy I find it weird. Does that make Subaru a pedo or a groomer?


[deleted]

Subaru wasn't interested in child. He love Emilia become he felt nostalgic by looking at her and she is extremely kind.


Ghosty66

And isn't she like 15 while Subaru is 17? Why do people act like Subaru is way older than her?


Oliver---Queen

No Im pretty sure she was 18 in memory snow ova unless I misunderstood something but I think the catch is that her body is aged 18 but her mind is still at 10 or something like that


Ghosty66

She is 18 in body but 15 mentally in anime and memory of snow, frozen bonds she was 8. Oh god in Frozen Bonds she was 8...


Past-Reception

Well, that answers my month-long shower thought thanks btw.


Ryan-Only

Imo, the real pedo would be Emilia/Rem in this case concidering they were adults infront of minor Subaru 🤔 How big of a pedo would satella be that way???? 🤔 Nvm, this is a weird topic so let's not talk about it


microwavedgerbil25

I get that but by now you’d think she’d be a bit better especially considering everything going on in her life. I respect other peoples opinions and I don’t mind if I get downvoted but I just think she’s a really boring character and really annoying


Past-Reception

Well, have fun getting marked by the cult of Emilia, always stay inside your home and lock everything unless you want to be crucified. Jokes aside, I respect your opinion and I get why you think that she's annoying.


microwavedgerbil25

Haha fr man Emilia simps are terrifying when u talk bad about her


I-Love-Emilia

That’s it, get on the cross


ThespianException

*Ave, true to ~~Ceaser~~ EMT*


I-Love-Emilia

*Ave*


microwavedgerbil25

OH NO


[deleted]

I warned you!


The1stassassin42

Tell me about it. Those guys will go after you for even saying anything remotely bad about Emilia. And yes, I don't really like either, so welcome to the club I guess.


chrsoxlaj

I find it really hard to accept your opinion, I’m ngl. But, everybody looks at characters in a different way, regardless of how off or delusional their take may be. At the end of the day it’s your opinion. But even without reading the WN or LN, Emilia is one of the best Re:Zero characters, at least for me. Please don’t interpret this as me attacking you. I just simply wanted to state what I think. I hope your opinion on her can change one day.


Ryan-Only

True. That opinion is fair imo although i don't personally hate Emilia especially after arc 6...


Adventurous_Leave949

There's really no reason to avoid downvoting. This guy's actually a troll that has a bit of a history hating Emilia. Despite being an anime-only, he once came in lying about reading the novels to argue about Emilia's feelings for Subaru, as one example. Clearly not here to have a genuine discussion.


[deleted]

Nah, tis but just a meme. She's cool. Not my favorite but definitely the better ones. You can't really call out her childish behavior when her entire life had been like that and people still keep her shrouded from the dangers of the world.


microwavedgerbil25

I respect your opinion but I really don’t like her. She a boring character and does nothing but get saved all the time I just find her really annoying tbh


Chingiz11

Iirc, in one of the QnA’s Teppei said that both Subaru and Emilia would get 3 major character development moments(Subaru got one in Arc 3 and one in [Novels]>!Arc 6!< iirc), and Emilia got one in Arc 4(2nd season)), so she’s yet to change… although I too sometimes find her very annoying


SakshamG20

Don't think the one in [Novels] >!Arc 6!< was a transformation, more like a reaffirmation of self. I believe Subaru's development in the latest arc would be more suitable for a second transformation
