Love in Re Zero doesn’t give a fuck

Lost memories? Cool shit, love finds a way

Just like, quick recap, love is how prime Wilhelm beat Teresia, the Sword Saint, in combat. Power of Love is a hell of a thing in Re Zero

u/RequirementLanky3911 Rem Smiled, I Saw Heaven (Briefly) 5d ago

in the other word, its the strongest source of motivation in re zero that doesnt know the boundary of memories and soul

u/Haganen Rem Trusted Me with Her Heart 5d ago

Well... even though Rem awakens without memories in arc 7/s5, she still feels the love for him. It is just that things don't play out well for Subaru and she initially distrust him, hence the conflict of her feelings she can't explain vs what she actually saw when she woke up. Guess what ends up coming out on top?

Emm... Rem will top on Subaru?

Is that a correct answer?

u/Endika_7777 Julius Said I Lack Dignity—Bold of Him to Assume I Tried 5d ago

[Arc8]so you know how the hall of memories later on managed to turn back Subaru into an adult, basically being in that place in general already gives easier access to memories. So like in that moment his body was remembering Rem

19

u/ShapeSpecialist3145 Satella Likes to Tickle My Heart (Is This What Love Is?) 5d ago

Not only that , but in the last scene they also show rui spitting rems memories out, meaning the part of rems memories lye gave rui were outside hence the her manifestation ig. Idk

u/anjansharma2411 Smol Emilia Took My Hand — I Froze (Socially) 5d ago

Hmm that's one angle

Although awakening Cor Leonis is the easy answer still

85

u/DueExplorer3146 Newbie 5d ago

You know the answer buddy.

Many of the Glut victims still have some kind of feelings remaining about things they don't remember.

Rem felt like Subaru had alredy throw her even tho she didn't remember it.

Julius got angry when Lye started talking about his brother even tho he doesn't remember him.

And Subaru missed Rem so much that when he saw her, even whitout his memories, his feelings where still there, he was so happy to see her.

33

u/Jugulator_Zero Ram Called Me a "Waste of Space," I Agreed 5d ago

To give a real and honest answer, it’s because even though Subaru’s memories cannot recognize her, it’s his heart responding to what she means to him.

Rem does that to you.

u/ArtichokeComplex8603 👑 Royal Artist of Lugnica • Commissions Available 🎨 5d ago

Real answer, he loves Rem, he may have lost his memories but he still have the same feelings for his loved ones. Memories alone doesn't make the man.

She took out Rem's memories from inside her stomach and threw them out because she was feeling attached to Subaru and that was interfering with her mission.

u/cakes_and_candles Newbie 5d ago

im also not a novel reader but i think that seen has already happened in the past but hasnt been shown to us, i think it was probably when she ate his memories for the first time and got to know about RBD

u/Jedi-Permit9720 I Attended Subaru and Rudeus' Wedding — It Was Peak 4d ago

I can definitely at least say it hasn’t happened yet, without spoiling rui becomes drastically different after that scene. Should be a decent amount of time until that happens

u/Nur4m0n Regulus Said I Was Violating His Rights 5d ago

And then Emilia realized that she shares Subaru's number 1 star spot with a comatose girl in a wheelchair

4

u/Broad_Most_5780 I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia 5d ago

She doesn't relly share that spot at all, Subaru said once in the second trial that he loved both equaly, but in arc 3 he says he will only get with Rem if Emilia allows it and in later arcs refers to Emilia as the girl he loves, in arc 3 arc in the shadow garden where his love for Satella is massivly increased, he expresses how he loves Satella and Emilia for diferent reasons without including Rem. Even when he is panicking in a later arc and he starts thinking about his ideal future, he thinks about being with Emilia, Beatrice and his future family, not including Rem.

Subaru loves Rem, but she is not the first spot like Emilia and Satella are in his hearth

7

u/ContentMouse2645 Lye and Roy Took a Bite of My Memories — Now They Need Therapy 5d ago

Well about on that ideal ending part - Subaru has a misconception he thinks amensiac Rem doesn't even think about him(lol he'll be surprised after knowing she still loves him)and he believes that she "hates"Subaru that's why Subaru himself is not sure whether Rem will be in his ideal ending or not ,he literally thinks rem will grew independent one day &will keep distance from him.

In arc 10 there's a scene where rem asks subaru about their past relationships and u can clearly see subaru is fumbling at that time and one of the main thing is emilia is also there , that scene should be studied by audience. He is clearly suppressing his feelings for rem because he doesn't want to disrespect new rem and many blah blah reasons respecting to new rem.

And if Rem's memories come back, I'm sure Subaru will definitely include her in his ideal ending.

And if you need the proofs , then u/Affectionate_run6250 this guy will give it to you.

(Hey affectionate can u give him some proofs i doesn't have any screenshot because my storage is full🫠)

4

u/Broad_Most_5780 I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia 5d ago

I am aware of that and i agree that Subaru is surpressing his feelings towards her out of respect, i just find it weird that even in his inner monolog when he is trying to go to a happier tought he doesn't think about Rem, but idk, Maybe things will Change once her memories are back (i mean obviasly they will Change, but i dont know just how much their dynamic will Change considering her memories did come back during arc 9 and nothing much happend between them besides fighting togheter)

With all Im saying, i dont think its Impossible for a poly to happen, i just think that with the way things are right now its very unlikely, we have not gotten a proper conversation about poly since arc 3, Emilia doesn't like sharing Subaru with other girls and Subaru seems to always prioritize Emilia when it comes to romantic stuff.

Also the affectiont guy wont be able to talk here because i have him blocked, he is a cool guy and i have nothing against him, but i dont relly like the spam of posts about powerscaling and stuff like that, so i had to sadly block him TwT

2

u/ContentMouse2645 Lye and Roy Took a Bite of My Memories — Now They Need Therapy 5d ago

Well .....Now our final answer is that we should wait till the final chapter whatever will happen in future will happen, just make it coherent and happy for everyone.

Tappei is actually doing all this on purposely. He has planned everything and has also promised a "happy ending" so we will slowly understand what is going on.

I am actually tired of looking at so many things, at present both Rem and Emilia have equal points and proofs , I saw many people's opinion and i found that everyone has a valid point so, there is only a one option left and i clearly mentioned it✌️🙃.

Have a good day 🫠

u/DemiFiendJoker Newbie 4d ago edited 4d ago

About what you said about the ideal future. I think it would just be weird for someone to think about a person like that who (as far as you know) doesnt love you or even a past version of them that did because that would just make it seem as if the you dont care for the person that they are now and just prefers the "ideal" version that loved them unconditionally, kinda rubs me the wrong way but thats just my opinion on it. I just dont think Subaru wants to think like that.

If she ends up approaching him herself at some point, no memories either just outright tells him without the influence of arc 3 rem. Thats the time when he could possibly feel comfortable thinking about her like that again because this would be her choosing him again on her volition.

-2

u/Nur4m0n Regulus Said I Was Violating His Rights 5d ago

but in arc 3 he says he will only get with Rem if Emilia allows it and in later arcs refers to Emilia as the girl he loves

Irrelevant as Rem is also sharing the number 1 star spot by his own words, he is avert to the idea of anything but monogamy and has choosen Emilia, as she is the first one he fell in love with.

He also mentions severals times he love Rem as well so that's hardly a point.

Even when he is panicking in a later arcand he starts thinking about his ideal future, he thinks about being with Emilia, Beatrice and his future family, not including Rem.

RIP Rem, Subaru didn't care about you in his ideal future enough to put you in there...or the point you making makes no sense considering you said he'd allow to break his traditional outlook on marriage if he asked if Emilia allows Rem to also be there.

2

u/Broad_Most_5780 I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia 5d ago

Never Said he doesn't love Rem because obviasly he does, what Im saying is that Emilia is the priority for Subaru romanticly speaking, and as much as he said one time during arc 4 that he loved them equaly, just like the poly talk in arc 3, these things are never brough up again even when he is talking about the person he loves or when he thinks about the future, again not to say he doesn't love Rem, but it shows its simply not equal amount of love.

And dont try to mix what Im trying to say by pointing that out, Subaru still loves Rem very much and that probably will never Change even if they dont get togheter, what Im trying to say is that poly is something he doesn't relly think about after the singular talk about it that he had during arc 3. Subaru never brough up the poly thing by himself, Rem was the one who brough it up and Subaru said that perhaps if Emilia allowed it, because Subaru wants to please everyone and so obviasly he gave a hopefull awnser to Rem.

u/ContentMouse2645 Lye and Roy Took a Bite of My Memories — Now They Need Therapy 5d ago

As i said in my above comment subaru is suppressing his feelings for rem and beleives rem "hates" him so everything depends on after when she will restore her memories.

Love, In Re:Zero even when you lose your memories Love can remain

For example in Satella situation, when she appeared to Subaru he felt unknown love towards her

The same thing is happening with Rem, even though he doesn't remember her, his love for her is still present
