Note that I enjoyed S4, and that this isn't a hate post, but rather a confused post.

So, Subaru lost his memories, learned the lessons he already learned in the previous seasons, and then regained his memories? I don't exactly get what his character development in this season was.

Leaked ending of arc 11

I was rewaching the first season and realized something, if flügel planted it 400 years ago and it kept growing, how was his writing in the base instead of the top/middle? Almost like he did it at least in the last decade

Unless it's magic or something like that

Truly the witch of lust

Pls I Wish to ask if someone has ever called this mf something else other then his real name 😭

Trying to act smart

I want to see what arguments y'all would make for either side.

Some people will say that oh The twins, Roswaal, Annerose, and Beatrice would already part of the camp, but some will also note that Beatrice was barely part of the camp as was more also just associated by the fact she lived in the same house, or the fact the twins didn't really care for Emilia that much(they cared don't get me wrong) but weren't invested in her, with Ram only swearing loyalty in arc 4 after Emilia's development(and even then she's still a Roswaal dick rider first)

But at the end of the day the camp members still very mucb care about Emilia and her goals. By the time of arc 10, and she has there loyalty.

Some will say that Subaru bringing in some of the camp members was also due to Emilia's own actions, like helping in arc 2 leading him to help Rem at the end.

Ah I can't wait for the carnage in the comment section, just people tearing into each other.

How would it appear in the library? Only with his memories, or with the memories of everyone else in that he ate? Would those books appear as separate entries or would they all be part of his book? And finally, is this how Rem gets her memories back?(I'm on Arc 8 so dw)

This image was draw by mildly confused, you should support that guy.. or girl, yeah yeah!, I mean person.

Mildly confused are really great person to drawing this.

If we ever get sword art online levels of VR + highly realistic A.I I'm gonna spend most of time torturing the Roswaal A.I in every way imaginable.

Im trynna read this arc cuz i cant wait til season 5 gets animated in 5 years so these are things i wanna get from this arc.

1) I want there to be a bit less mystery. We just a an arc built fully around it so let’s take a little break.

2) Subaru being happy. At the end of arc 6 Subaru was finally giving himself more credit and had a higher self esteem so id like that to stick.

3) Rem not simping over Subaru the entire arc. Rem just lost her memories but im worried that she will just be super annoying and dependent on Subaru.

Made this quick sketch of meme that is second image.

I had a really weird dream last night, and it genuinely felt like I was watching a scene from one of the final arcs of Re:Zero, or perhaps a setup for the eventual ending.

I wasn't part of the scene myself, I was just watching it unfold.

Subaru was standing in a dark space, but it didn't look like Satella's shadows. Suddenly, a section of space on one side seemed to fold open, revealing a path to another place. Subaru walked through it and eventually arrived at a snowy forest.

There, he encountered Pandora.

She seemed somewhat sad and began talking to Subaru about how everything she had done was for a single purpose: to bring back someone important to her. I got the impression that she was talking about reviving Echidna.

What really caught my attention was the way Pandora spoke to Subaru. She acted as though they had known each other for a very long time. There was no hostility between them, but they didn't seem like friends either. It felt like there was some long-established connection between them that neither of them needed to explain.

She also mentioned that Hector had visited her at some point, although apparently nothing particularly significant had happened during that encounter.

Even stranger, Pandora seemed to know about Return by Death and spoke as though she could remember the loops Subaru had gone through.

Subaru himself barely reacted to anything she said. He didn't seem to know about her goal of reviving Echidna, but learning about it didn't surprise him or seem to interest him much. He simply listened.

Eventually, Pandora walked away, and the dream ended.

The strangest part is that the scene felt completely new to me. It wasn't something I had previously theorized about or imagined. It felt like I was watching a genuine scene from a future arc that I somehow knew nothing about.

I'm not saying this is a prediction or anything, but the whole interaction felt oddly coherent, especially the unexplained familiarity between Subaru and Pandora.

What do ya'll think?

(Sorry it's a low effort meme but i actually chuckled from it ngl)

Yeah, there was one that he isn't running fast enough!! 🥀

Seems like Beako couldn't control her self!!

Not like that Emilia!! (You dumb elf!)

I've been reading the Re zero novels for quite a while now, and since I'm caught up with the story, there's one question that keeps coming back to me: who is actually the main or final antagonist of Re zero?

Many people would immediately answer Satella, or more specifically the Witch of Envy. However, I personally don't think she fits the role of the final antagonist. From what we've learned so far, Satella was forced to take in the Witch Factor of Envy, which eventually created the Witch of Envy personality. I think she's more of a victim who needs saving than anything else. While she is undoubtedly one of the main reasons why many of the events of the story happened and remains one of the ultimate goals of the narrative, I don't see her as the true final enemy. She may be one of the final obstacles, but not the final antagonist itself.

If we set Satella aside, there are two major candidates left in my opinion: Pandora and one other person.

Pandora is the first obvious possibility. She appears to be the current leader of the Witch Cult and has been connected to several of the most important tragedies in the story. She is responsible for Petelgeuse's downfall, played a major role in the events that led to the Astrea family's current situation, and in Arc 6 it is implied that she may be observing events through the birds seen around the world. We still know very little about her motives, goals, and true nature, making it difficult to draw any definitive conclusions. However, based on everything we've seen so far, there is definitely a possibility that she is being set up as the final antagonist.

That leaves one final person, echidna, who I personally believe is the most likely candidate.

My first reason is that a surprising number of the major conflicts in the story can be traced back to her actions, either directly or indirectly.

In Arcs 1 through 4, Roswaal's actions are guided by the Tome of Wisdom, a copy created from Echidna's Authority, and much of the suffering in those arcs happens because of his desire to fulfill his plans and eventually bring her back to life.

In Arc 5, the Sin Archbishops attack Priestella following the guidance of their Gospels, which are themselves imperfect copies of the Tome of Wisdom.

Arc 6 can also be connected to her influence. In Arc 9, we learn that Echidna somehow tricked Od Laguna and forced it to create the Books of the Dead. Those same Books of the Dead played a crucial role in Subaru's memory loss during Arc 6 due to Louis Arneb's actions.

The connection becomes even more obvious in Arcs 7 and 8 through Sphinx. Sphinx was one of Echidna's failed experiments in her pursuit of immortality. After abandoning her creation without destroying it, the consequences of that decision would eventually lead to major conflicts hundreds of years later, including the civil war in Lugunica and later the events in Vollachia.

Arc 9 also places a major focus on Aldebaran, who is directly connected to Echidna as her student.

Because of all this, it feels as though Echidna's influence is present throughout almost every era of the story. Even after her death, many of the world's greatest conflicts continue to originate from the plans, creations, and experiments she left behind.

My second reason is more theoretical and relates to what may become the final ideological conflict of the series.

We know that Echidna genuinely wanted to save the world. According to what we've learned, she was unable to accomplish that goal alone until Flugel and his group appeared. However, at some point they seem to have separated due to differences in ideology and in how they wanted to solve the world's problems, something hinted at in the side story "No Stella, No Life."

My personal theory is that Echidna wanted to kill Satella, while Flugel wanted to save her.

We know that Echidna is willing to sacrifice countless lives if it means achieving her objective. Her flashback in the web novel makes that much clear.

The problem is that Subaru has already sworn to save Satella.

If saving Satella truly puts the world at risk, then I could easily see Echidna opposing Subaru until the very end. To her, the world is worth more than a single person. It is even possible that many of the events unfolding today are the result of plans she put in motion 400 years ago. After all, her flashback reveals that she was willing to designate countless lives as sacrifices in pursuit of her objective and the final one may be satella herself.

Subaru, on the other hand, represents the complete opposite philosophy. The people he cares about are worth more than the world itself. He would sacrifice himself over and over again if it meant saving them.

That is why I think Echidna is currently the most likely final antagonist of Re zero. Not because she is necessarily evil, but because her ideals may ultimately be incompatible with Subaru's.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Do you agree, disagree, or do you have another candidate in mind? Feel free to share your theories or point out anything I may have missed.

Just felt like mentioning!!
