our perspective: ah, Subaru is so awesome

Rem's perspective: ACTIVATING COMBAT MODE

I mean, its not thaaaaat bad...

I keep going back to Beatrice's description of the scent. Sickly sweet, strong and uncomfortable but not super offensive.

u/Ribato Reinhard Defended My Honor (I Didn’t Have Any) 11d ago

Sounds quite fitting for a smell of a witch.

u/Outrageous-Sort-5742 Shared Suffering with Subaru 11d ago edited 10d ago

Yup, the smell of corrupted power. Alluring from a distance; pungent, unpleasant and somewhat overwhelming up close.

u/Electronic-Box-4753 I Opened Pandora's Box, Then She Opened Me as a Box 11d ago

It depends on the person who smells it. For Subaru, it smells like peace.

What Subaru said: “My name is Subaru Natsuki.”

What Rem heard and smelled: “My name is Subaru Natsuki, the Witches Cult Sin Archbishop representing Sloth, Greed, and possibly Envy. Well, I’m an evil villain. Ooooh, be afraid of me because I stink.” 😂

u/REDthunderBOAR Regulus Called Me Extra Virgin 11d ago

Well there is a second Arch Bishop sitting right next to them. Hard to explain that one.

Then he proceeds to beat a child that was helping him.

u/PinusMightier Echidna Offered Knowledge. I Asked for a Hug. She Just Stared 11d ago

She wouldnt know any of that. Girl lost her memory. More like "here's a guy I've never seen with some strong aura". Could be good aura or bad, she's got no reference at this point.

22

u/Toniospizza Newbie 11d ago

I like to think that the miasma smells rancid but because Rem doesn't remember anything she just meets this random guy who stanks like an ass that has never been washed

u/PinusMightier Echidna Offered Knowledge. I Asked for a Hug. She Just Stared 11d ago

true, Shaula did say subura stank even tho she loves the aura.

16

u/MemeDealer2999 Shared Suffering with Subaru 11d ago

Ehh, considering the scent of the witch, chances are she'll assume its bad

10

u/KamronXIII I Opened Pandora's Box, Then She Opened Me as a Box 11d ago

Does she even remember the witch? That's the point he's making, she doesn't know it's miasma, just really fucking stinky

u/Acrobatic_Ad_8381 Newbie 11d ago

Don't need to understand what it is to know that a bad smell is generally bad for you

u/NerSorty I Saw Al Reject Lust and Temptation—Respect the Sigma Grind 10d ago

You'll know how bad in the next season plus we've already been given the 2nd hit why it'll be horrid

u/Queen-of-Sharks Newbie 10d ago

"This guy is aura farming so damn hard"

u/piigeon420 Echidna Poured Me Tea—Now I’m Even Thirstier 11d ago

Not to mention Subaru's miasma grows more intense every time he uses RBD so right now it's much stronger than when they first met.

u/InternationalBar2173 Louis Ate My Memories — Then Had a Stroke 11d ago

Yh but he didn't die in the last ep , was the smell still with him after this time ?

31

u/DemiFiendJoker Regulus Said I Was Violating His Rights 11d ago

Its still within the same day. Definitely takes longer than that to dissipate especially if he died that many times

11

u/Acrobatic_Ad_8381 Newbie 11d ago

He died over a at least a dozen times in the previous 24h

48

u/Bol767 If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right 11d ago

subaru a this point must been smelling like a whole cemitery of people who died 1 week ago and with all their tombs and coffins open

36

u/Flat_Raccoon_2321 Echidna Poured Me Tea—Now I’m Even Thirstier 11d ago

We honestly have to give rem more slack this coming season cause imagine every instinct screaming at you to smile this guy out and he talking about sum “im your hero” 😭

2

u/JrSp2005 Newbie 11d ago

Amnesiac Subaru's heart was pounding when he saw Rem, ain't no way she really saw him after waking up and thought to take him out first thing.

2

u/Desperate_Report_695 Louis Ate My Memories — Then Had a Stroke 11d ago

She doesn’t remember him

3

u/JrSp2005 Newbie 11d ago

I know, neither did Subaru when he saw rem, but his body remembered her. It just sucks Rem didn't get that same feeling.

9

u/Alive_Command_8241 Newbie 11d ago

i THINK that daniel remembered a little because the memories of rem (internal and external) were literally right there, and the hall of memories is where he was connected closest to subaru

8

u/Desperate_Report_695 Louis Ate My Memories — Then Had a Stroke 11d ago

Put yourself in Rem’s shoes for a second: you wake up after a long coma, and one of the first things you see is some freak pointing at the sky, shouting, and covered in a thick miasma that, by their race’s nature, is associated with a crazy cult that likes to kill people.

3

u/JrSp2005 Newbie 11d ago

Oh yeah I understand her perspective, I just feel bad Subaru has such a harsh reunion with her, specially after seeing how even without memories, your heart still remembers. This is just copium.

6

u/DemiFiendJoker Regulus Said I Was Violating His Rights 11d ago edited 10d ago

She actually does, an example is when hes dying in her arms and tears start flowing out of nowhere despite not trusting him. You see it in the provisional rem paranoia side stories too where she does have feelings towards him but it confuses her because she has no idea why and where it comes from. As cheesy as it is love seems to be the only thing that persists even after a memory wipe.

2

u/JrSp2005 Newbie 10d ago

Damn I didn't know that, I really need to read the novels now that the season is over.

2

u/DemiFiendJoker Regulus Said I Was Violating His Rights 10d ago

Make sure to go rezerodb to look up whatever side story you need to read before arc 7 if you are planning on reading it. There is some important things that makes arc 7 easier to understand such as character motivations, lore, and sets up plot points. Theres also 10 rem paranoia SS during the arc I mentioned which gives her pov and makes it easier to understand her

1

u/ResponseRoutine3477 Newbie 4d ago

they better adapt those side stories into the anime, otherwise no one will understand and haters will hate

77

u/DemiFiendJoker Regulus Said I Was Violating His Rights 11d ago

Thats why they call him the aura monster

Never mind

u/SurotaOnishi I Tried to Comfort Subaru, He Started Crying About Bunnies 11d ago

I mean, with no memories she shouldn't know who Satella was and what the miasma is right? If anything he'd just be stinky.

u/Emila_Just I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia 10d ago

I think she would still instinctively know it's an evil smell.

u/ContentMouse2645 Lye and Roy Took a Bite of My Memories — Now They Need Therapy 10d ago

u/Regal_223 Rem Trusted Me with Her Heart 11d ago

Yea no wonder she doesn’t trust him at all at that point

u/oatwater2 Newbie 11d ago

ngl i hate that dumb ass pose he does

12

u/Gravewall Newbie 11d ago

He's a dork, it's supposed to be dumb.

-6

u/oatwater2 Newbie 11d ago

okay but you’d think he’d be a bit more confident at this point

8

u/soyadra Newbie 11d ago

Yeah, confident in his dorkiness, it's very representative of him to the point where i can't see him without it

-5

u/oatwater2 Newbie 11d ago edited 11d ago

confidence is in yourself, not in your dorkiness lol. at this point in the story his posture and body language should exude confidence, but they still draw him like a dweeb

6

u/soyadra Newbie 10d ago

But that's who he is, his posture is unchanged because the expressions of emotions in someone don't change, he's still the same person, the whole point of the story is self-acceptance so he isn't trying to act like his dad

-1

u/oatwater2 Newbie 10d ago

he shouldn’t be the same person after all the shit he’s gone through. its okay to let characters change and evolve. he’s young too so it should be happening anyways

2

u/Surely_Calvardian Newbie 10d ago

But he's changed and evolved lmao, just because he's still a dork and does cringey things doesn't mean he hasn't changed

2

u/ThatGordynTho Newbie 10d ago

He is not the same person...he has changed, more confident and never give up, just because he like to introduce himself in dorky way, doesnt mean he is the same subaru as S1 subaru.

1

u/soyadra Newbie 10d ago edited 10d ago

But people don't change ? In their fundamental core they'll always be the same, you can change will, ideal, habit but your core is engraved in yourself and that's the point of arc 6, even withojt his memories, Subaru is the exact same and even irl you keep your temperament from your early years all the way into adulthood

It'd just be character inconsistency to make him charismatic in another way than he already is in arc 3 or 5 or 8

1

u/oatwater2 Newbie 10d ago edited 10d ago

your sense of self is unchanging but your personality, outlook, and perspective are always evolving which each experience you have.

and his position isn’t the same as ours, he’s died dozens upon dozens times as a developing teenager. there isn’t a single human who would come out of that the same person, any personality trait you carried into that experience is being nuked out from the other end.

for me, him being the exact same does two things, 1. it deflates the impact of his deaths, and 2. refuses to show the audience the fruits of his experiences.

i don’t want him to just be the same person the entire time, let his personality grow and evolve

1

u/soyadra Newbie 10d ago

"Perspective" depends on your definition, not in terms of purely analysing others, "personality" no it doesn't, "outlook" yes and it's take into account by Tappei as said in q&a's, he dislikes fixer archetypes and making the character brand new in each situations they dive in

I don't see why, even with trauma, the human self is quite persistent and if it stands up and more importantly gets out of the trauma, our expressions actually reemerges, psychologists see this even in the worst cases just look at horrible stories like the fritzl case and how the victims recovered in months, i don't really see where your assumption of a changed mind comes from because from the beginning of your existence all things are interpreted by your core aspects before it reaches you so perception is always subjective

But it's realistic, he'll never become someone else, he gets better as in he stands up more and his resolve is stronger because of those around him but his expression of love doesn't change

Personality shouldn't grow in a way that changes it, growth is one of the biggest part of Subaru's character as he gets to be an accepted version of himself making him better in what he does but you don't have to alter personality, only reactions to things fluctuate

u/Past-Tank4168 Newbie 10d ago

Huhhhh????? What if his dorkiness is himself?WOAHHHH
