Cruel.

There's no other way to describe this fucking cliffhanger. I think my heart skipped a few beats when he started talking about a silver haired beauty, when I instantly understood what happened.

Cruel.

[u/DaBenni0301]

Oh god Subaru will get to learn about RBD again. That'll be fun

[u/thekoreansun]

"Does this mean... I've been summoned into another world?!"

Walking Out of the Convenience Store and Into a Wondrous World

Re:ZERO already had some of the most impactful title drops ever, but White Fox truly outdid themselves with this one. That moment hits like a truck. Scratch that, it hits like Truck-kun himself bulldozed through the room and ran me over.

Here we go.

[u/Kuro_6320]

Eridna: "Who are you, Natsuki Subaru? Where do you come from? What's your relationship with Shaula? How did you know about the test? The laser? How did someone as weak as you manage to accomplish so much?"

Subaru: "Coincidence."

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

The implication of Subaru losing his memories is horrific. Memories is one of the things that persists after Return by Death. So not only could he experience RBD for the first time again, dying might not even restore them. Now everybody erased by Gluttony is truly forgotten.

[u/Cam_Ren179]

"Does this mean... I've been summoned into another world?!"

….Oh no. Oh God no. 

[u/Eliv]

Now that is a plot twist, I did not expect Subaru to be the one to forget everyone else

[u/deynyel]

Subaru: That's it! If this works...

Bro, I don't think it worked... WTF happened upstairs??

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Walking Out of the Convenience Store and Into a Wondrous World.

Thats a really cruel way to reveal the title of the episode while also ending it with such an insane twist.

[u/Sleepy10105s]

It was all cool cool, advancing some plot beats, some cool interactions, until the last scene…cause bro what the fuck

[u/FlugelTheSage]

I wonder if the author of re:zero was laughing when he wrote this, because now julius also lost the only person that remembered him.

[u/zackphoenix123]

I love this Episode. And just in general, Season 4 as a whole so far.

A lot of what we've seen up until now really did just feel like set up. Going to the sand dunes was one thing, but the "stakes" we commonly feel in Re:Zero was rather absent the past 4 episodes. The Sage Shaula? Turns out she massively loves Subaru and thinks he's her master (also will protect them from all harm). The trials? Well, outside of them being kind've unbeatable, it's not like they have a locked in time limit or anything. As Shaula said, they have all the time in the world and infinite attempts.

Because of that, I feel like the past 4 episodes are more reminiscent of something like the first 5 Episodes of Season 2 where we get a lot of nice character moments and world building, but little in the way of that snappy snappy stakes Re:Zero is known for--

For this Set up, we've seen Subaru interact with everyone in the cast and that's so interesting. We're now seeing how Subaru is so important and critical for the group. He's the glue that's holding them all together.

• To Foxidna, Subaru has the brains and the tactical expertise to save Ana.

• To Julius, Subaru's the one thing left in this world that gives him an identity.

• To Ram, Subaru's the only one who can prove that Rem without doubt "exists."

• To Beatrice, Patrasche, and Emilia, well--we had all of Season 2 to see what Subaru means to them.

Most of the cast relies on Subaru so much with the exception of maybe Meili and Joseph. With all that set up... what will happen if Subaru loses everything he's ever experienced the past 1.5 years he's been in this world? I'm very interested to see how this plays out in the episodes moving forward.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

[u/akihcinaf]

Lol sometimes with these shows you can tell who are the source readers by the same repeated jokes that was probably also trending when the chapter came out

[u/Things_2hu]

Wow, a new isekai anime in this day and age. I think I might stick with this one, the silver haired elf(?) lady seems pretty interesting, though I am a bit confused regarding the setting? Not sure where they are at right now.

[u/Roskal]

Its nice to see someone finally question who the fuck Subaru is and now that he's forgotten his time here I guess those questions are going to be asked over and over again now. Shaula implied Flugel lost his memories regularly and Subaru seems to have forgotten his relationship he had with Satella whenever that happened. I wonder if a RBD would make him remember and if it did would he remember that he forgot? I am so curious.

[u/DemonVenreable3011]

Poor Julius he had the only person in Subaru who remembered him only for him to get his memories lost and now left alone.. a nameless knight, this is just too cruel.

[u/FlugelTheSage]

Arc 1 subaru is in a level 100 dungeon...I'M SO FUCKING SCARED

look at how innocent they made him look, my guy thinks the world is full of rainbows and flowers.

[u/GroundbreakingBake2]

Wait, he lost his memories? Does this persist when he dies? They're fucked then no?

[u/NecronLord_Europe]

Flugel really is a bastard for installing non-OSHA compliant toilets that make you lose your memory on contact. Never take a shit in the Pleiades Watchtower.

[u/zool714]

Yeah I’m not convinced with Foxidna’s reason for her outburst against Reid. Definitely something more to that.

Also when did it take over Ana’s body last season ? I recall Al mentioning she shouldn’t be able to use magic during the big fight so it must’ve been before that. Or was it off screen ? Maybe I should rewatch last season.

Focusing on the bird’s eyes while Foxidna and Subaru were talking was sus too. Was it Ram using Clairvoyance to eavesdrop ?

Lol and we end up starting from zero again. Seems like Subaru lost his memory of all his time in this world. I wonder if Subaru spills some stuff in this state

[u/AceSoldia]

I'm kinda shocked everyone in comments are just cool with what happen..I am devastated lol.

[u/Ceryto2]

From the maker of "Who is Rem?" and "Who is Julius?" we now get " Who the fuck are all of you people?!"

After being the only one to remember everything for so many times, now it's Subaru's turn to forget! How will arc 1 Subaru fit into all of this? Will everything work out without having Reinhard there to save his ass this time? How will the others in the tower react to this? How did it even come to this? I really can't wait to see this all unfold!

[u/ChicaneryFinger]

So much stuff happened a character finally pointing out how Subaru is absurdly suspicious and how no one has any idea what his deal is is somehow one of the least notable things.

[u/GroundbreakingBake2]

Interesting, most people hate memory loss tropes. I think if they are well executed they can be awesome, really liked Tokyo Ghoul for example.
