| Episode with subs: https://x.com/LoremIpsumVerb/status/1851218364317761852 So they use this opportunity to let anime onlies know that Al was Isekai'd from Japan as well, something that was skipped in season 1. |

| awk-awk-awk AWKWARRRDD! |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| It's depressing how they revealed such crucial information in a freaking short that most people outside Japan would never watch. Same goes for a lot of these Break Time episodes actually. Hope they'll still incorporate this piece of info into the anime in the future. |
| Al is from Jpan, the same to Subaru!!! kekeke |
| sad this was cut from S1 and they revealed here |
| It's absolutely wild including a massive revelation like this in a series of chibi shorts that the vast majority of people simply won't watch. Even more so when these shorts aren't being officially subbed and the fansubs are often a pain to find, reducing the number of people who will watch these even more. Maybe if this season of Re:ZERO was allowed longer episodes after episode 1 like previous seasons were, this wouldn't be a problem and stuff like this could be included. But no, this huge reveal is here instead and most of the anime-only fandom will now have no idea of why Al is so important and why he acts as he does. |
| Absurd, why didn't they include this dialogue in the serie... |
| I've already talked about how crazy it is that this was revealed in a way that basically 95% of the audience would never knew/care to watch it. They'll never know that Al is a Japanese dude that came from the original world into this world, exactly like Subaru, albeit 19 years ago. This is the most utterly mindblowing revelation for an anime-only. Al's request to Beatrice is one of most utmost solemnity. One that comes straight from his heart for his fellow brethren, the one and only in this uncaring world. On a lighter note, it's amusing to see Beatrice affirming that she'll protect Subaru without anyone telling her to do so and that only HE gets to call her Beako. What a drastic change from last year (in Re;Zero timeline). |

| Aw, Al is such bro. And we anime only got finally confirmed Al is from Japan even though I read it plenty of times from readers. Nice. Well. If you bother to watch these Break times as well, I suppose. |
 |
| Of course they decided to include it in Chibi shorts of all things. Probably Tappei's decision like that time he decided it would be cool to introduce Hoshin in Isekai Quartet. Not even a side story, but straight up Isekai Quartet. For the love of Od Laguna, plz make a Director's Cut and include this in S3. I think it just might be more important than anything revealed in S3 so far. |
 |
| WTF. Mind blown. Why wasn't this in the main series? I kid you not that I care more about this one short than any of the witch cult stuff that's happening right now in season 3. This information just changed my entire view of the show. I genuinely had no idea other than one comment I read alluding to him being similar to Subaru which I didn't think about too deeply. Like I get corners needing to be cut when adapting light novels but this is not it. I honestly would've rather cut some of the fights to include this. Anyway I'm really glad I watched this as this is the highlight of the season for me so far. |
| This was from the first season that didn't air, but at least I'm watching it here. |
  |
| What the hell, you can't just drop a twist like that in funny chibi show of all things |

| @Punkero thanks bro! |
| This really is info that should have been revealed in the main show and not ina breaktime :/ |
| On top of the anime revealing Al to be Japanese through these shorts, I would like to direct peeps to novel EX vol 5 if anyone wanna know what Al has been through after he got isekai'd (and before he got picked up by Priscillia) The EX volumes are not continuous and each are seperate side stories of different characters so no need to read em in order, can just go straight to EX vol 5 |
