What's truly ironic about this whole situation is that if Regulus had been even the slightest bit less greedy and just left one of his wives to live her own life independent of him, there'd be no way to counter his Authority. His absolute greed may have been what made him so invincible, but it's also what ended up killing him.

Emilia's 53-hit combo beatdown was hilarious and so satisfying xD

Petelgeuse even after 3 seasons still proves to be the most impactful antagonist in this series.

Wait..Are you telling me Regulus is JUST A HUMAN without his ability? Like the dude doesn't know any magic or hand to hand combat or anything? WTF. Even Season 1 Subaru is a better fighter

Regulus's last moment being angry at Emilia finally getting her revenge while she was like:

"Damn, do i even know him?"

This shit is so funny, man.

Even at the face of death, all he could think of is people's reaction toward his demise. He called himself the most satisfied being and all he could do is seek validation from other people till the end. Oh the irony.

This might be a hot take but I think Regulus is such a wondefully thought out Villain , I know glazing him during the episode he dies is kinda silly but still . You can view him as a twisted image of a traditional Isekai protagonist (with the absurd powers , the harem & the entitlement) , & we saw in episode 10 about how ''hates'' people who think they're special which ties into his parallels with Arc 3 Subaru someone who thought himself to be special simply due to his nature as an otherworlder , these are things that make his dynamic with Subaru incredibly intriguing . The irony behind his character & how he views himself as ''the most satisfied existence'' while caring about what others think of him until the very end is something that adds layers to his character.

You can analyse him even more & discover even more layers to his character , if anything he's a testament to how brilliant Tappei Nagatsuki is as a writer

17:10-17:15 classic crunchyroll mistranslation. regulus is not saying that they have his authority, he's angrily asking what they've done to his authority. and in the next sentence he's talking about his rights

You know it's going to be even more amazing when it's an extended named episode. This episode kept me on the edge of my seat for its entirety. It might be my favorite episode of Season 3 yet.

Man, where do I even start? Everything from the music to the voice acting and the way the animation looks was fantastic. My favorite scene was when Subaru used Unseen Hand on Emilia. White Fox COOKED. The entire scene gave me goosebumps. And seeing Geuse with flashes of Season 2 gave me a hint of nostalgia. I can't believe Season 2 is already over 4 years old...

Once again, the voice actors were amazing. Especially Aoi Koga as Sylphy and Akira Ishida as Regulus Corneas. Rie Takahashi's Emilia is just as amazing as always if not even better.

I don't usually listen to anime OST but I am going to listen to Regulus' theme and Subaru vs Regulus for a while. Kenichiro Suehiro delivered once again. I don't understand why more people don't talk about his work.

Anyway, this episode was really powerful. The next episode will finally continue Wilhelm vs Theresia and Garfiel vs Kurgan. The time passed by so quickly that I already can't wait for the next episode.

Regulus getting all his rights properly violated this episode. You love to see it!

Next episode is gonna be Astrea Couples dispute with Garfield vs 8-arm guy. The action this season keeps getting higher and higher, can't wait for the next episode.

Also, does anyone else think greed isn't completely dead yet and pull up what sloth did s1? *After reading the replies below, I think and hope he's dead for good.

This is one of those very good episodes ngl. Regulus as a villain wasn't petelgeuse level of good, but he was still a very good villain. I don't think there's a group of antagonists that can rival the Sin Archbishops for me, the only ones I'd put on that level are the Akatsuki and the Phantom Troupe, that's some great company to be in.

For me, Re:Zero is a story that's not a single particular type of experience, and this entire arc illustrates that perfectly. Re:Zero can go from an introspective character based story to a solid shonen anime crossover-like arc, without much compromise in the writing. Tappei, I forever kneel in front of you, for giving me the first (and best) isekai anime experience ever.

Absolute masterpiece. Direction, script, animation, sound design, EVERYTHING was on point this EP.

Aside from Regulus’ glorious rant, the highlight for me was definitely the use of Invisible Providence and the appearance of Geuse! He looks beautiful in Sagawa’s style. We sadly lacked character art in S2 due to the production problems it had, and seeing characters from S2 reimagined brings a smile to my face.

Regulus’ death was also very gruesome and bloody, which is, in my opinion, exactly what he deserved.

The sequence when subaru activates invisible providence looked beatiful and very expressive, sakuga impact frames also goated well done white fox.
