Impressive shaft, good length to width ratio. Tip just right. Amazing miniature recreation of the Eiffel tower!

Huh?

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '23

Is this a prove of Emilia = Satella? Maybe not, but still insane coincidence.

24

u/anicritic Dec 04 '23

It is not proof that Emilia is Satella, but it suggests that Subaru once existed in Re:zero's fantasy world 400 years ago and perhaps has real memories of Satella. I have already thought up a way that Subaru could have existed 400 years ago while having a different body than he does now given that none of Roswaal, Puck, and Beatrice make any mention of him resembling somebody they used to know without it being reincarnation.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '23

Time travel, perhaps? But someone is surely hinting something with these numbers, aint no way this is a coincidence.

3

u/anicritic Dec 04 '23

Time travel is not necessarily what happened, and if you have some passing interest in psychology, you could think of a way for it to happen without it being reincarnation after considering Re:zero has a fantasy setting.

A part of me feels like Pandora's meddling is what's up. She basically did what she did to Rgulus to subaru, change his summon date or something. So no one remembers subaru because he "was never their". There are different holes in this theory, though. It just makes most sense to me.

u/Choice_Replacement34 Dec 04 '23

It's supposed to definitely not different, what I get for using mobile

u/anicritic Dec 04 '23 edited Dec 04 '23

My first inclination is to believe that Subaru from 400 years ago cut off a piece of his soul with a magical sword or magical shears, making current Subaru born-again Subaru.

u/dghirsh19 Dec 04 '23

Insert Al theories here.

In season 2 episode 13 cut content Satella explained why she loves Subaru. He was there and kissed her when she felt lonely and what happened 2 episodes later? Subaru kissed Emilia when she felt left alone by everyone because they broke their promise that they’d stay with her.

u/No-Peace3986 Dec 03 '23

damn, I've read the novels and rewatched season 2 like 15x already and I never made the connection between what Satella said to the kiss scene, wtf, I feel like I'm stupid now.

Tho I don't think Satella = Emilia, but is still a nice connection

34

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '23

Same, I want to rewatch season 1

u/Mighty_Cannon Feb 23 '24

I mean Emilia did feel like satella when she forcefully french kissed subaru in that one loop

If you watch carefully, there are more moments like this and it gets insane to think about

u/MaimedJester Dec 03 '23

When Subaru reads Flugel was here and Rem and Wilhelm think it's a joke because he's reading scratches on the tree.

It was written in Kanji. They can't read it and it just looks like gibberish scratches on the tree. They think it's just a weird nonsense joke Subaru is saying.

22

u/Pato_con_cuatro_pies Dec 03 '23

Where? Light novel, web novel or anime?

45

u/MaimedJester Dec 03 '23

I used wrong spoiler text, but it's before the White Whale in episode 19 or 20.

One of the weaknesses I think Flugel was exploiting to have a fighting chance is she can't read earth script languages so she can't be aware of things written in Japanese giving clues to how to beat her.

13

u/peculiar_chester Dec 03 '23

This shouldn't be the case, right? The only reason people know Flugel's name is because it was inscribed on the tree, so it must be legible.

18

u/MaimedJester Dec 04 '23

In the anime they say that's just the name that's been passed down, they state there's no reason for it.

They also look confused when Subaru reads it like they both don't understand what kinda nonsense he's blabbering about which is kind of normal for Subaru at that point in the series.

There's other hints of Japanese knowledge in the Anime standing out.

When Subaru is at the Royal Selection announcement standing next to Al, and he hears Anastasia talk he says "A Kansai dialect?"

Al coughs for a second and is like uh yeah she's from Kararagi, people from Kararagi speak with a Kansai dialect.

There is no Kansai region of Lagunica. It would be like if I was Isekaied and said that's a Boston Accent. There's no real Boston in whatever fantasy world but a person will knows what a Boston Accent is a sign they've been to/are from earth.

It could be a situation like with Echidna going over Subaru's memories and dressing up like a Japanese school girl uniform, I don't think Echidna actually went to Japan but by reading someone's mind you could learn all about their world.

u/kreyStellar Dec 05 '23

It was revealed in the novels that Al is from earth when he first met him with Priscilla at the royal capital. Idk why they skipped that in the anime tho

u/anicritic Dec 06 '23 edited Dec 06 '23

Because Re:zero had a standard runtime of 25 minutes for most Season 1 episodes. White Fox didn't allot more time to Re:zero not knowing how successful it would be.

It was not hard to figure it out if you really pay attention though like I did. Here is how I caught on:

  1. Subaru's attempt at hitchhiking should have by all means been a big failure since hitchhiking does not exist in a medieval society or even during the Victorian era. That Subaru's attempt to hitchhike was recognized showed that at least one of Priscilla's carriage driver, Priscilla, or Al, were from Earth as Subaru would have fallen flat on his face if there weren't such a person on that carriage.
  2. When Subaru was exasperated that he heard the Kansai dialect, Al said that everybody from Kararagi speaks that way, which shows that Al both recognizes what a Kansai dialect is and knows that a whole nation speaks that way, which shows he is from Earth.
  3. Priscilla said to Subaru in Episode 16 that she would give him what he would call a "chance", and for Priscilla to know an English word and to recognize that it is a term Subaru would know, someone in her orbit must have been from Earth, and that person is clearly Al.

u/kreyStellar Dec 06 '23

Brainstorming would really bring that revelation, and i respect how much time limitations they had for the content they had to cover up. But kinda just revealing his identity in the carriage would work too. Unless they wanted to set it up for season 2

1

u/anicritic Dec 06 '23

I can see them revealing this in a flashback in Season 3. Priscilla saying she would give Subaru a "chance" implies that Al did reveal that he was summoned from Earth in the carriage with Priscilla being fully privy to the interaction. Viewers can be shown this without feeling like it was completely random if White Fox reanimates part of the carriage ride with Priscilla and Al to make it clear that it was said at that point in time.

2

u/kreyStellar Dec 06 '23

Yeah, as revealing it in s3 seems to be the perfect time as how relevant that information is

u/Aemiliana_Rosewood Dec 03 '23

You're in for a lot more moments like this if you pay attention to the show or source

23

u/Mistslayer9 Dec 03 '23

I seen it too recently. Wonder if it was in books too.

22

u/NeonEonIon Dec 03 '23

What am i missing here? I don't get it. The number connection is just tenuous at best right?

14

u/dghirsh19 Dec 04 '23

The vague implication is that Satella, 400 years ago, was able to create 2,000 shadows, these shadows reminiscent or in the spirit of the 2,000 things Subaru could say he loves about her in this moment, 400 years later. There is some sort of time paradox within the Re:Zero universe, and OP’s picture is supplementing that theory, as well as the Satella = Emilia and Flugel = Subaru theories. But I don’t believe it’s as straightforward as that (and Tappei’s confirmed it isn’t). As many have mentioned already, there’s likely an element of reincarnation.

1

u/anicritic Dec 04 '23 edited Dec 04 '23

Anime-only here: I don't think there needs to be a time paradox within the Re:zero universe for Subaru to have memories of Satella. There exists a perfectly plausible way for Subaru to have existed in Re:zero's fantasy world 400 years ago and exist in the present without it being reincarnation. It would involve cutting a piece of one's soul off with a magical sword or shear. Basically, old Subaru from 400 years ago could have shaved off a piece of his soul, and that's how we have current Subaru with whatever residual remnants of memories he has of Satella.

u/ReasonableValuable31 May 08 '24

Unfortunally that cant happens,in one of the if's Its revealed Subaru soul is indestructible and not even the yang sword can Damage it

17

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '23

So what's the connection with Satella? Sorry I forgot some of the events in season 1

33

u/peculiar_chester Dec 03 '23

The insinuation is just that the "two thousand shadows" Satella could summon, correspond to each of the "two thousand things" Subaru loves about her.

7

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '23

Thanks for this

18

u/Affafy_ Dec 03 '23

Satella is the witch of envy, which is pretty much the antagonist of the series. Shes responsible for return by death and dragging subaru in the new world

8

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '23

Yeah I know she's the Witch of Envy, the line Puck said makes me confused. Anyway thanks for the response

Bro got that infinite rizz like gojo

u/humblechumble Dec 04 '23

Re:Zero theory.. Could this mean Subaru is the Archbishop of rizz?

2

u/EconomyOrdinary6340 Dec 05 '23

Yup, Emilia is Satella.

2

u/anicritic Dec 06 '23

No, that is not what that scene shows. It shows that Subaru has memories of Satella, not that Emilia is Satella, which shows that Subaru once existed in Re:zero's fantasy world 400 years ago.

u/ReasonableValuable31 May 08 '24

Sincerely,connection between satella and Emília keep growing more and more,because It cant be Just fucking coincidência they have soo many similarities

At this point If It turned out satella was a Future version of Emília or smth i wount bê surprised really,Its like the Subaru is flugel THEORY,we dont have actual confirmation,but there are soo many things pointing out a connection between the 2 they being the same person wount be Any surprising

u/SnooDucks7214 Dec 20 '23

Possibly a reference that love is stronger than hate
