| Typhoon, Minerva and Daphne, finally appeared, so it was Daphne who created the White Whale and the Rabbit. And Satella also appeared! when she said "i love you" "i love you" "i love you" that gaves me goosebumps! |
 |
| The Subaru and Echidna conversation was pretty chill until some unexpected guests showed up. I know the moments were meant to be serious but I couldn't help laugh because of Typhon's personality. Seems Echidna has a lot on her mind after that talk about the jealous witch now. Pretty interesting episode actually. |
 |
| “Until there's nothing left to use” FINALLY best boi Subaru REALIZEd that the Return by Death is suposed to be used like in ALL YOU NEED IS KILL! Btw, we can REALIZE that the OP of this season is a reference for this moment. |
 |
| This episode was really interesting. I liked the new characters, they were hella amusing. So Subaru's return by death has limitless use, that's op. Wow the witch of Pride Typhoon's a kawaii loli but what she did to Subaru wasn't cute at all. Lol the witch of Wrath Minerva seemed more like someone who heals rather than spreading destruction. And as for Daphne she was more helpful than I thought she would be. I mean she gave away the info on how to beat the rabbit so easily which kinda surprised me but after listening her reason for that it makes sense. Satella makes her appearance and she's madly in love with Subaru XD. |

| Fantastic episode! A lot happened and a bunch of info was given. This season will definitely need a re-watch before moving on to the second cour. Now the rabbit scene makes more sense and I assume that the serpent will appear later down the road. The multiple times Subaru has been revived for this arc makes it really confusing about who is where and what their motives and allegiances are |

| Lmao those three witches. Love em already, all three of them quite interesting in their own right, would love to know even more on them. |
| I was expecting no OP and no ED, but we got ED and an after-credits scene :-) rakp333 said: Garfiel saved Subaru and then, after credits, there is a scene in which Roswaal is holding his copy of the Tome of Wisdom while slowly being consumed by the darkness.Where did they end the episode? Did they complete the Satella sequence? or just started it? |

| This man has so much trust for Subaru, he definitely knows something! And he's holding that book like it's precious. |
| Satella definitely looked like Emilia wearing a hood, and sounded like Emilia. Suddenly, it seems like everyone was paranoid of Emilia for very good reasons. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |

| It's nice to see we're getting some explanation and seeing some screen-time with the other witches in this episode. Now we know there are 3 great mabeasts, and Daphne's intention was do more good than harm (i.e. rabbits for an infinite supply of food, however, these rabbits can defend themselves.)  Garfiel is unpredictable as ever; to save or not to save Subaru after each death. Make sure to watch all the way to the end, there's a scene with Roswaal after the credits. |
I know now that I know nothing.  |
| Holy sh*t her appearance made me freak out so hard lol. For you headphone users I hope u got the best ASMR in your life haha. Also everyone make sure to watch even after the credits. |
Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |
I hope Echidna dies a brutal death. And Subaru being retarded as usual not realizing she insulted Emilia, Satella (who he should be grateful for because RbD is an OP power) and Petra in front of him. At least Minerva is nice. Typhon really taught him some manners and Daphne was cool. Satella was really cool this episode! And damn! Roswaal knows about his RbD  Satella is so cool <3 |

| We finally get answers! Continuing with the tremendous talk between Subaru and Echidna, 3 new guests appear ... or rather 3 more witches !! Now we know who created the white whale and the "tender" rabbits (and the reason is tremendous haha) Great episode, and a top, top scene. By the way, at the end there is an extra scene !! |
| Lots of changes from the WN in this episode, I know there’s going to be a lot of confused people lol. Loved the Magical Girl vibe they went with for Minerva. Satella looked so badass, they went full on wedding dress for her, dropping so many hints. And then that post credits scene from ending of volume 11. damn man I want to make my usual long analysis of the episode, as usual white fox did a great job, but there’s genuinely not much to comment on. Next week is going to be spicy though. |
 |
swirlydragon said: I hope Echidna dies a brutal death. But she is already dead. |
| Seeing all these witches, Typhon, Minerva and Daphne. Well, what can I say, they have all have interesting personalities. Satella making an appearance in this episode. That was kinda terrifying to witness. The after credit with Roswaal... does he know everything... |
 |
| Excuse me Roswaal, what the fuck |
 |
| Amazing episode! i dont even know where to start! Subaru and Echidna continued their chill talk. Echidna revealed the rabbits are one of 3 Great Mabeasts created by Witch of Gluttony. Subaru meets Witch of Pride Typhoon-a cute little girl that breaks him into pieces, Witch of Wrath Minerva- The Crazy Diamond with a superhero personality, and Witch of Gluttony Daphne-that just want everyone to eat well and be eaten. When Subaru comes back there's no one outside and everything is covered in darkness. From the darkness comes Satella. Listening her repeating Aishiteru over and over with my headphones on was some real creepy ASMR. At the end Roswaal is consumed by the darkness while holding the same Gospell as Beatrice ( is this one the 2nd copy-the same she has, or perhaps even the original Tome of Wisdom?). His last words imply that he knows about Return by Death. |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| AISHITERU AISHITERU AISHITERU heard & watched that shit fullscreen with headphone full volumes at 1 am scared tf outta me |
 |
| Very insightful episode. A lot happened, simple as that. Stakes continue to get higher and higher. |
| This was amazing, #TeamSatella. I can't wait for next weeks episode. |
Well then I am glad Satella took care of her (not a spoiler, it was stated by Beatrice in season 1 that Satella devoured all witches) |

| Ah yes, more Echidina screen time. Plus we get a detailed explanation about Sabaru's Return By Death. We also get to see the witch of Pride, Wrath, and Gluttony for the first time while Satella makes an appearance near the sanctuary. |
 |
| The meeting of Subaru with the witches was pretty scary and idk how to explain. Lol but Echidna still the best girl this season. The episode was pretty interesting and amazing. Hyped for next week. |
 |
| Post Credits We see Roswall with a GOSPEL! The shadow from the witch is slowly drowning his room and then he says "Next time Subaru try not to make any mistakes" Any question go ahead and ask! |
| I see dead people |
| Wow, finally we could see more of the Witches of Sin other than Echidna. Typhon was scary yet funny (the scene with Subaru's arm was darkly amusing), Minerva is a cutie (and even has Crazy Diamond) and Daphne is nightmare fuel loli (thankfully she didn't end voring Subaru as I feared). And, even better (or worse for Subaru), Satella herself finally appears by herself in the series! Too bad the Witches of Lust and Sloth didn't appear, really wanted to see them. I guess it's time to die again, since Roswaal said that the timeline was done for and Subaru nees to re-start. And, well, since Roswaal seems to know about Return by Death and has a gospel, the suspicions around him just increased. Let's see what's his endgame, now that Subaru needs to both stop the attack on the mansion and destroy the rabbits. |
 |
| Minerva the true best girl finally making an appearance. |
|
| All the witches shown till now have quite quirky personalities Emilia and Stella's VA is the same This time things changed from the start compared to the other redos. Can't wait to see the outcome of this |
| no OP, gotta go go go! Holy shit! This loop is hard! Really great episode, lots of questions answered! There's a scene after the ed, don't skip it! Donna best girl! |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| I need a 10 hour version of Satella asmr. Best rezero girl. |

| The witch of envy sure loves Subaru.. 10/10 for the episode.. |
  Must love Moe! Darkness prevails!! Slice of Life is all we need! |
| Damn the "I love you" by Satella was so disturbing, lot of explanations in this episode + the focus on the witches was great, Echidna still the best one so far. |
 |
| Re:Zero weekly appreciation post. This show keeps getting better each time. We got lots of information in this episode, meeting multiple witches, seeing Satella in real form for the first time.. Since we couldn't see Emilia when Subaru woke up, I think that Satella is using her body at the moment? We will find out, I suppose. Satella repeating "I love you" so many times gave me the chills, but it makes you really wonder how she came to love him since he had Return by Death since the beginning. Post-credit scene raises even more questions. By saying "Try not to make any mistakes next time, Natsuki Subaru" it's like Roswall knows about Subaru's secret and by the way he's speaking to Satella (I presume) it makes me think he's a big fan of hers. Feels like we're in a hell of a ride for next week. |
 Kal'tsit: Is that... really worth it? Amiya... Amiya: Even if no one understands me... I'll keep going on the path I choose. Maybe it will incinerate me to dust... But if I don't do it, no one can. Arknights ▵ Crylix#0810 |
| i feel like echidna,the knowledge we got this episode got me soooo fired up and finaly we got to see more of the witch of envy "Satella"...ah yes, i love Re:Zero |
 |
| Damn, another thrilling episode for the week! Seeing all those Witches come and go was a little startling but good thing Witch Daphne didn't go for the kill, as Echidna feared. Echidna is still best Witch by far! I wonder what she's saving up to say for next time though, I feel like it's something she should've said by now... And then the killer Witch, Satella's appearance. Takahashi Rie-san voicing her too, I wonder if that's some kind of an indication to figuring out her identity. Yikes, those "I love you" was disturbing as heck though, and I expected just that honestly. When I saw the episode title this weekend, I'd a different image of the episode in mind but little did I know we'd be getting this bombshell of an episode. Certainly didn't expect Garfiel to come and save the day for Subaru, what fine margins these different events. And we finally got our answer! Roswaal knows about Subaru's "Return by Death" power. And as always, it's hard to predict where this is going but count me in! |

fullofregrets09 said: Well, did not expect Daphne to have an iron maiden. That's a lot of restraints for a soul without a body. I guess eye contact would be impossible with those blindfolds on. Does she have some sort of Medusa power? In the WN (LN draft), Daphne removes the blindfold off her left eye and looked at Subaru directly in the eyes. It caused him to be so hungry that he ate his own arm in a matter of seconds without realizing it. The WN also said that Daphne's left eye is much weaker than her right one. However, this power of hers might not be canon (it could be altered despite Echidna telling Subaru not to make eye contact) anymore as the scene was removed in the LN. |
