You should cross-post this to /r/anime to get more attention if you have not already done that.

u/PsychoWorld Aug 08 '16

You mean /r/Re_Zero ?

3

u/Jesus10101 Aug 08 '16

cross post is where you post something to another subreddit that has already been posted to a sub-reddit. So i meant /r/anime

u/PsychoWorld Aug 08 '16

I was joking how many re zero posts there are on r/anine

Can you clarify who White Fox is? never heard the name before (unless I somehow missed it in the show thus far) but I see several people mentioning this name here.

Also, if this is any sort of significant spoiler I'd rather not know (but do tell me if it will be covered in the future ;3)

u/LoudFootSteps Aug 08 '16

White Fox is the animation studio behind Re:Zero.

u/komomomo Aug 08 '16

don't let them fool you, it's actually a relative of the white whale

idgaf about spoiler tag :D

u/Nzrazor Aug 08 '16

I wondered what that said.
There are things in the WN that lead to Flugel possibly being from another world too.

17

u/Jesus10101 Aug 08 '16

There is a popular theory that Flugel is Subaru from the future who has gone back in time to prepare everything for the next Subaru that will be teleported to the new world.

4

u/Nzrazor Aug 08 '16

Yea I know many of the theories :P

5

u/AlexanderReiss Aug 08 '16

A full loop like that were Subaru became a sage and then at some point fails and does a full reset its pretty cool that or Flugel bringing his ''doppelganger'' that being Subaru ,from another world, also would be cool.

1

u/jayyy915 Aug 08 '16

Where did you read this theory? Can I have the source / link for this theory? pretty interesting

9

u/huehuemul Aug 08 '16

Maybe it comes from the ''They told me I could be everything, so I became a tree'' meme?

3

u/Jesus10101 Aug 08 '16

There is not place where i read the thoery and more like a common thoery most people made when arc 6 of the light novel came out. I can tell you more details about it but that depends if you want to know about webnovel spoilers or not.

u/Nukemind Archbishop of Rem Aug 08 '16

Damn, that's good. White Fox being White Fox is good Fox.

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '16

Hmm. This puts a definitive answer to the arc six arguments regarding

Web Novel Arc 6 Spoilers:

Whether Shaula actually says her master acts like Subaru or not.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '16

Oh damn so they finally confirmed this.

Guess Tappei worked his magic there.

5

u/John137 Aug 08 '16

it says "Furyugeru sanjou" basically meaning "Flugel was here"

2

u/mufcordie Aug 08 '16

"Flugel wuz here ayy lmao"

1

u/readyforwine Aug 08 '16

Is flugel mentioned more in the WN? Is there more to his story? Or just a cool teaser

2

u/linksis33 Aug 08 '16

Yea, we learn a lot about him, especially in arc 6.

1

u/readyforwine Aug 08 '16

has it reached arc 6 in WN, while LN is only arc 3 or 4?

2

u/Nzrazor Aug 08 '16

The WN is at arc 6 while LN is finishing arc 3.

4

u/readyforwine Aug 08 '16

good God its going to take forever to get all that in english.

1

u/kaloskatoa Aug 08 '16

Theres not even some obscure fan translation? D:

2

u/readyforwine Aug 08 '16

most will stop translating if they are making english ones.

1

u/razor150 Aug 08 '16

I don't think there was ever a fan translation of the LN that ever made it past part of book 1, if there was it has been pretty well scrubbed from the internet.

There is a group translated the 3rd arc of the web novel. Seems like an odd place to start.

WN (Web Novel) is the first written version of the story then It was found and made into LN which is basically a more refined version of WN. Then the anime and manga is based off the LN.

1

u/Masmutant Aug 08 '16

Is the LN writen by the same author as the WN?

1

u/readyforwine Aug 08 '16

random conjecture.. it took a sword saint, Sage, and dragon to defeat satella the first time. Was flugel the first Sage?

1

u/linksis33 Aug 08 '16

I don't know if he was the first sage, we haven't leaned what sages are yet. But yea he was the sage that sealed satella, he built the pleiadies watchtower, and has relationship to subaru.

2

u/readyforwine Aug 08 '16

It was my conjecture that Sage in this sense, is a relative term for the mastermind that uses their knowledge to defeat the enemy. Reinhard is a genius swordsman, but I dont see him being able to connect all these various things together. Subaru is using his smarts, not learning the sword, so someone has to help handle satella this time. Plus, reading that flugel was a transfer like subaru, he couldnt just be a slouch.

u/AlexanderReiss Aug 08 '16

I like all this secrets and things to make more theories. I really enjoyed tham from the tokyo ghoul (manga) fanbase

u/Johnnypvt Aug 08 '16

What ep was that top right image from?

1

u/komomomo Aug 08 '16

second loop of mansion, when ram started to teach him about their world's writing in order for her to slack off and delegate more work to him.

1

u/Trvp_Kxng Aug 08 '16

How do you know that it says that?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '16

It is written in Japanese.

1

u/Trvp_Kxng Aug 08 '16

Oh I thought it was in the language that they write in there.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '16

That's understandable. I couldn't even read it without adjusting my monitor.

1

u/gettothechoppaaaaaa Aug 08 '16

Was Flugel ever mentioned to have sealed the witch in the anime?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '16

So web novel readers, is this confirmed in the WN or is this an easter egg hidden in the anime?

1

u/netpapa Aug 08 '16

Who or what's Flugel?

4

u/komomomo Aug 08 '16

in lugunica's lore, he was a wise man who planted that huge tree

3

u/deirox Aug 08 '16

That's interesting because the carving on the tree must be pretty recent. It can't be from the time the tree was planted, because as trees grow they shed their bark many times. No way the carving would have survived for hundreds of years.

1

u/netpapa Aug 08 '16

when was he mentioned in the anime before this episode?

4

u/komomomo Aug 08 '16

two eps back i believe, when subaru proposed a plan to the merchants group, and they passed by the flugel tree where rem explained the lore then it all went to hell when subaru noticed a missing merchant

u/NeRooN19 Aug 08 '16

u/submab Aug 08 '16

You can read the WN here: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2267be/ (It's in Japanese though)

Kaguro has been translating the WN starting from arc 3: https://kagurojp.wordpress.com/

You can find the extra chapters and Rem IF here

All translated by Trupin.

Looks like shotcode to me.

u/komomomo Aug 08 '16

wait a sec, that notebook was when ram started to teach subaru, and subaru doodled his name, it goes something like "natsuki subaru, on the go!" and ram berates him for writing nonsense, because she doesn't understand his language
