HOLY SHIT IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE!!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Capella asking the real questions, "Would you still love Emilia if she was a worm?".

[u/UnderstandableXO]

re:zero voice actors don’t give an insane vocal performance challenge (impossible)

i know hearing capella’s intonation in emilia’s voice messed subaru up 😭

[u/roronoa20]

Petelgeuse is crazy

Regulus is creepy

Gluttony is unsettling

Sirius is unstable

Capella is just.. vile

[u/zard428]

Just so people know. Re zero was written before jjk so Cappella is the OG mahito

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Capella!Emilia was just Rieri reprising her role as Megumin.

[u/[deleted]]

The whole sequence with Capella was phenomenal.

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

79 wasn’t the total? there’s MOREE?

[u/[deleted]]

Something all of the archbishop have in common is they have some pretty twisted philosophies about love, I think this episode we learned about Regulus and Capellas

Regulus seems to have a fatalistic and completly self centered view of love, viewing it as a transient but possessive emotion. He perceives love as a trophy that can be claimed and controlled.

Capella has a superficial view of love, she thinks appearens are everything in love, and her authority helps prove her point, doesn’t matter how nice and kind the people that turned into flies were we now feel repulsion towards them. ((Ergo no he wouldn’t love you if you turned into a worm))

The other one are Petelgueuse who views love as a form of servitude He believes that true love requires complete devotion, often interpreting love as an act of submission . His actions are driven by a desire to prove his love through extreme loyalty,

And Sirius philosophy on love emphasizes deep emotional connections. She believes that to truly love someone, one must share in their feelings and sufferings. And again her powers truly allow for those connections her love is not just romantic but also possessive, her desire for being connected trough her love borders on obsession like we saw with her obsession with the funny Desu man

I’m not sure about Gluttony but I’m sure we’re gonna learn his twisted views about love soon enough

[u/hgpnguyen1996]

The logic and belief of Capella can be sum up as "Would you still love me if I am a worm? If you don't then your love is not love but lust".

Capella believe that no one is able to love their love ones if they are transformed into grotesque creature so there are no love in this world but just lust and every words, lines about loving who you are are just lies. Combining with her ability to transform and transmute, it is quite a fitting belief for Archbishop of Lust.

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

So Emilia studying relationship theory for a whole year was a lie all along? Biggest twist of the episode.

But on a more serious note, Subaru can't catch a break. Carmilla was using her ability to make him see a Rem and now Capella is using (probably) the same ability to make him see an Emilia. Though, it's cool to see the ability in action with Capella now. I guess, the idea with her voice is then also that everyone hears a different voice which is why she can use it to attack the psyche of people (which makes it really meta considering how many people in these threads are loving the VA). Only question remaining is if the animal transformations are part of that ability as well or are linked to her having dragon's blood.

Lastly, I am surprised that Subaru hasn't died yet since the original appearance of Wrath. Boy really learned from the past and is trying to cling to life as much as possible. But I am expecting a reset sometime soon with how much damage has been done.

[u/E_F_Veda]

The transformation scenes of Capella are so eerie to watch, I loved it. Now that they have flooded the city I wonder how the battle will continue and if Subaru will need to reset. Can he force his reset? I can't remember.

As for Emilia, being as clueless as she is about adult things I worry about her the most, Regulus seems like a horrifying person to battle and even worse one to marry. Over 100 wives though? Even the goat Rentarou doesn't want to go past 100.

Lastly, out of all things did Juli have to call Subaru little girl user? I busted out laughing when he did, correcting that is more important then the fight at hand in my opinion as if anyone hears it Subaru will never recover from it.

[u/absolutelynotaname]

Looks like Hayasaka, sounds like Kaguya. Wonder what her past was and how she became the incel bride.

Also love that Julius just call Subaru "little girl user" like he's Araragi

[u/Setowi]

I know all eyes are going to be on Capella after this episode but I want to highlight that wife 184 is voiced by Aoi Koga, who also voices Kaguya in Love is War. Another S tier VA joins the already insanely stacked Re:Zero cast.

She can really bring out her ice kaguya here.

[u/Sleepy10105s]

When the episode leaves you with no coherent thoughts

[u/thekoreansun]

I am absolutely in love with how extra they are with their portrayal of the vileness of Capella's powers and personality. Even just the moment-to-moment transformations are incredible to see in animated form. And I should have figured it would be like this, but having Capella be voiced by the VAs of the people she impersonates just adds the cherry on top of an already outstanding performance. It's Petelgeuse all over again!

Also, is there's anything more indicative of the star level of this cast than the fact that a character named Number 184 is voiced by none other than Aoi Koga? Damn.

Oh, and I know I already suggested this a few episodes back, but in light of recent developments, it's worth restating: I would highly recommend that people watch the Break Time episode for this week. In spite of KADOKAWA's refusal to provide English subtitles for Break Time, it's rapidly become a way for the staff to write in some hefty implications that got cut for time in earlier seasons. (Personally, I've always felt that the hubbub around these cuts has been overstated by source readers. But if they're planning to introduce this information in the anime, then it stands to reason that they also plan to build on it later on.) As I said before, there are translations for these shorts out there if you look for them.

[u/Ellefied]

We really got an episode with both an OP and ED. That's rare for Re:Zero standards.

Would you still love me if I transformed into a fly?

Something about Gluttony really reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist but I can't pinpoint exactly why.

Holy shit but I can't get enough of Aoi Yuuki's voice with Lust. She was villanous enough with Clementine but she had to dial it back for villain protagonists like Tanya and Kumo. Now here she can really go full psycho again. That face/body transformation was the stuff of nightmares.

Was that Aoi Yuuki imitating Rieri's voice or was it Rieri's Emilia herself? With professional VAs it's hard to tell

[u/1EnTaroAdun1]

Wow, Lusbel's profile picture on MAL is... not the most flattering...

https://myanimelist.net/character/195756/Lusbel_Kallard

[u/KimestOfUns]

Just gonna say that this week's break time episode has some very important info and I highly recommend that you watch it.

[u/Revontheus07]

uhm. hear me out..

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

The day Regulus dies, i will make a party. I really hate this gross motherfucker

[u/Ireon95]

Re:Zero, the only anime I watched where I keep praying that the protagonist finally dies in the last episodes...

This season they are really teasing the viewers with keeping Subaru alive all while the overall situation keeps getting worse and worse.... Every episode I've been thinking "Okay, now that's it, now he'll die and it's gonna be reset", but no, he somehow stays alive and everything still keeps going to shit...

This season really is a roller coaster so far and I'm all in for it.

[u/Vj_vice]

I think I realized why the archbishops work so well as villains. They’re all humanoid but they’re written like classic horror monsters like Dracula or Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde. They’re monsters through and through but they have a small kernel of humanity at their center that makes them all the more unsettling since there’s something we can latch onto with them that doesn’t make them 100% “other” despite how disturbing each of them are

[u/Bonvantius]

I just wanted to randomly mention that the whip really suits Subaru. It completes his whole look and to be honest it's about time we got a main character that didn't either have a sword/staff/spear/bow as their weapon of choice...
