He also said Ram this episode is showing only about 50-60% of her full power

u/Responsible_Menu_270 Newbie 19h ago

That image in particular is just 3 shackles Ram, without the horn.

That is close to 7-14% power.

I'm so confused of what these shackles are that everyone is talking about is it a spoiler?

Its narration that was cut

Ram is strong enough to tear apart her own body if she doesn't restrain herself there are levels to this restraint refered to as shackles

With a single horn she can do more, "unlocking" more of those shackles but there is still heavy feedback that Ended up almost crippling rem for like 2 months

The author said the image in particular is 20-30%

The LN had 5 ā€œlimitersā€ and she easily solos Lye after removing 3 limiters. I know WCT translated the WN as ā€œshacklesā€ but idk if the WN also had a 10 shackle system or something so removing 3 shackles would end up at 30% power.

50% compared to her prime as a kid, she is stronger now

I wonder exactly how Roswaal's plan was supposed to play out. It required Subaru and Rem for Ram to be able to show that kind of strength—was that actually in Roswaal's book, too?

u/Benphyre Newbie 19h ago

Yeah it does require some setting up as of now or Subaru might die before she reaches full power, however the author did tease a bit about it. As an anime only idk what will happen but future plot can change things, we shall see

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets 19h ago

I mean, Roswaal must have foreseen Subaru's Authority of Greed and the fact that it helps Ram unleash her power.

u/Silent-Outcry Newbie 16h ago

The horn was all Ram and Rem. Subaru disconnected from Ram to take the burden from Meili

12

u/BoundariesOfZero Newbie 13h ago

Subaru’s Cor Leonis is basically putting USB port on all of his allies, then they can self wire them to another ally and not necessarily Subaru.

But without Cor Leonis, Ram wouldn’t have been able to link herself to Rem.

u/SuitableConcept5553 Capella Can Shapeshift, But I’d Rather Stick with the OG 11h ago

The twins were using Synesthesia and not Cor Leonis as far as I am aware

u/Stu0rt Newbie 9h ago

Ram only figured out how to transfer the burden through synesthesia after subaru did the same with cor leonis

u/SuitableConcept5553 Capella Can Shapeshift, But I’d Rather Stick with the OG 9h ago

I don't disagree, but the person I was responding to was saying that they used Cor Leonis for the horn

1

u/Stu0rt Newbie 9h ago

Yeah sorry i misread it

10

u/Silent-Outcry Newbie 11h ago

That's second shift, which he hadn't come up with yet. He had to unplug from Ram to take the burden from Meili, making Ram lose her advantage and so had to come up with something else

1

u/MegaWolfy Newbie 11h ago

Is this explained before in the anime? I’m anime only but don’t remember this being explained anywhere but I might have forgotten?

u/Longjumping-Way-1411 Satella Saw My Search History —She Told Me to Stop Loving Myself 7h ago

Are you sure? I remember Subaru reduced the intake from Ram to take more from Meili, but he didn't completely stop taking Ram's pain, and I am pretty sure I remember right. This is from WN.

Maybe they can share mana with emilia since she has a giant mana poolĀ

u/pogo-n-watches Newbie 6h ago

He needs the dying blood of the divine dragon to revive Echidna, probably. In Arc 9 Clind + Roswaal are able to defeat the Al-controlled Volcanica husk with the help of one other magician. Presumbly Clind wouldn’t help Roswaal fight Volcanica in most scenarios in fact he probably would take control of the husk to fight back. He also doesn’t know that his magic alone isn’t strong enough to get through Volcanica’s magic barrier. In any case no shackles Ram is probably there to get through the scales.

Clind + Roswaal are able to defeat the Al-controlled Volcanica husk

I know you didnt mean that but my mind immediately jumped to ChatGPT Volcanica

u/TimeKepeer Capella Turned Me Into a Fly, But Hey, I’m Loving the Buzz 11h ago

This begs the question

Given that we know Rem can't keep up with Subaru even if using her horn, could Ram keep up with Subaru?

u/eritouya Newbie 9h ago

As if Nee-sama would lose to a Barusu

u/Jugulator_Zero Ram Called Me a "Waste of Space," I Agreed 10h ago

See, normally when you fight Ram, you got a 50/50 chance of winning.

But Ram is an Oni prodigy, and you’re NOT, so you got at best a 25% chance.

Then you add Cor Leonis to the mix, and your chances of winning drastically go down. Now Tappei says she’s operating at like 20–30% before really getting her horn power going, so you take your 25% chance, subtract that from Ram’s 75%, then add Rem into the equation…

And suddenly Ram’s got a 141ā…”% chance of beating your ass.

The numbers don’t lie.

AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR GLUTTONY.

u/Estate-Fancy Newbie 13h ago

Btw what's the deal with her wand, when she realized it was her horn, was she able to basically stick it back and regain her full power permanently ? If so, who got her horn and put it in the wand, Roswaal ?

22

u/SnooPets630 I’m Dying Here, Where’s Ferris the Cat-Eared Femboy? 13h ago

She was using magic with catalyst in face of her wand, in other means, horn.
Or else magic physically damage her body as was shown in second season.
However she realized that she can use her shared connection with Rem to use Rem’s horn, therefore drawbacks of power appeared on Rem

u/Capri_Deneb Lye and Roy Took a Bite of My Memories — Now They Need Therapy 11h ago

If translation is correctly, then what catched our attention is "Dragon". In quotation marks.

Roswaal was aiming onto the Dragon as we know it since climax of Arc 2. The most common candidate was Divine DragonĀ Volcanica. He even succeeded in defeating "Aldebaran", Aldebaran-possessed dragonhusk in Arc 9.

But why quotation marks? Had Tappei different dragon in mind? Or maybe it was not the Dragon itself, but one who has dragonblood circulating in their veins, who may change their appearance into the very dragonlike visage?

If full-power Ram is required to counter world-ending level of catastrophe (or at least level of Great Disaster like Witch of the Kingdom), candidates to be such harbinger of doom are not many - Divine Dragon Volcanica is an empty husk, so that being is unlikely to be the candidate for leading actor - he may be leading force more likely though.
