@Professional Retard Time hasn't stopped while Subaru is issekai'd, so his parents have been spending the entirety of the story so far looking for him, as in their world he has seemingly vanished without a trace.
@@laneslash6639 Imagine his father after all the years he tried to help him all of a sudden all you've done to help him goes to a waste and disappears with no way to get it back
@@somedudeawakeatlike1am801 Pretty sure he doesn't care about his "work going to waste" it is his one and only son we are talking about here. It isn't about how much work he put into getting Subaru better it is about the fact his weak pained son suddenly disapeared without a trace not even leaving a body for them to bury. It isn't his fault but the amount of griefe and horror his parents must be feeling while having no idea what happened to their son....no idea wrether he is alive or not when they will NEVER be able to find him...must be killing them inside. It is a good thing he doesn't really think about it but if he knew his parents were still out looking for him he would probably break for a while.
It’s fucked up because in every anime where people get summoned at least their family is deceased, or time moves slowly in the “real” world and they can go back and forth. But honestly, this anime makes everything more “real” because let’s be honest. If any of us were summoned we probably have made a lot of our own mistakes along the way.
Nah Rem is literally full of Red flags like She literally admitted watching him sleep and admitted that she smell him, I think good hearted person is good answer
@@geraltissuperman1749 she’s also very loyal and a good person.Yea she’s weird but to be fair there in a different time period in the re:Zero world.If subaru was back on earth things would prolly be different
@@SammyWammy38 That type of women are terrifying when you date them, I had a experience with extreme nice girl, I treated her like a friend, she was really kinky, but one day I told her about the girl I like, first she was ok, she tried to get closer to me I stopped her, she was fine but another day she started making jokes about the girl I like, I got offended, she started harassing me by sending long messages I blocked her , I ended up with my crush and after that she never bothered me again
Another thing you have to consider though is that Elsa was only there in the first loop because roswall hired her to be since the gospel knew Subaru would be showing up so it depends on "how" Subaru wasn't summoned if he was intended to be and something went wrong yes Emilia and felt would die but if he was never intended to be summoned to begin with that first loop wouldn't have existed
No. Don't forget Elsa's only employer isn't Roswaal. Regardless of what Roswaal said she did killed everyone in the Mansion when she just should've killed Beatrice. So she would definitely kill her regardless of Roswaal's choice. That day Emilia leaved the mansion by her own will btw... She would die regardless.
@@starmegalo1770 Yeah but Roswaal has the book of wisdom. Roswaal wouldn't just let that happen without Subaru being there. Then again there are shown to be some gaps in the book's knowledge.
@@vortechstg4091 it's already obvious that WITCH cult has better ways of knowing even if Roswaal says gospel is inferior. Elsa's order of killing everyone is basically witch cult easily countering it... They know it exist. And they don't even care. It was one of the requests they asked in Arc 5 but they never expected for people to accepted it so basically Roswaal's book is a joke to witch cult.
Subaru is a tragic hero, he suffers so others can be in better positions/situations. I feel Subaru needed the re zero world cuz he made people like Reinhardt , Al and rem feel like their relationships drastically improve their well being and mindset. Al would probably feel more lonely considering there’s no other summoned people without Subaru. Re zero really is a story about how one person can change the lives of many
For some reason, Subaru's character is kinda similar to Jesus Christ. Jesus could've been a king and lived happily through his father's influence but still chose to suffer for mankind and save their souls. Proceeds to die in a few days then rises up. Coincidence?!😳
@@bwomsambi you mean the time I got reincarnate as a son of god and god's choosen people nailed me to a cross? Gotta make it longer bro that's how new isekai is done nowadays.
A good protagonist is one that isn't perfect. One where there are places for them to improve. And as they improve the watcher can feel as if they are achieving something. Like how a parent would feel proud of their son turning out successful. Change my mind.
Its exactly why this anime has "starting from zero" on its title. Honestly as a Web Novel reader I cant express enough how much Im proud of his growth which is kinda ironic he just turned into a child in the latest chapter.
Edit: Spoilers for Arc 5, Minor spoilers for 6/7 If Subaru wasn't summoned wouldn't Roswaal's -Gospel- Book of Wisdom not tell him to send an assassin after Emilia? If so The Royal Selection _might_ proceed, the Witch Cult would attack Emilia, but Roswaal wouldn't leave the problem in the hands of -Subaru- so he would probably protect the village and Emilia Crusch would be erased from memory, Emilia would never overcome her past, Felt might not have been discovered and not become a candidate potentially delaying the events of the series by quite a bit. The White Whale and Great Rabbit would not be killed/removed however Roswaal would have no reason to draw the Great Rabbit to Sanctuary so Garfiel and company would be safe Priestella would be where everything goes wrong, Without Subaru They would not have a way of defeating Regulus, and many others would likely die from Wrath. Pleiades Watchtower would be a catastrophe, I don't know who would go or whether they would make it inside or whether Shaula would just kill them if Subaru wasn't there, but even if everything went right they wouldn't be able to solve the first room and would probably die at the Four Corners. Something tells me Abel would not be able to Take his throne without Subaru. Edit: I added the word "would" after Book of Wisdom and before not tell him in the first line Then immediately made a second edit to remove it.
Nah... Emilia dies one way or another. Even Priscilla isn't surviving the witch cult btw... The moment she meets even one she dies. The most she can survive is probably until arc 7? I am sure Anastasia would die earlier because of Edna's existence is known by witch cult.
@@TruthOfZ0 Q: If Subaru did not exist, would the candidates of the Royal Selection face the inevitable future of being eliminated? Or with two factions absent, does the meeting in Priestella would not have taken place? A: Emilia and Felt would die in the capital, Crusch would die in an attempt to subjugate the White Whale, and it would have been a Royal Selection that started without suitable substitutes for Emilia and Felt; Anastasia or Priscilla would take the throne. The meeting at Priestella may still have occurred, but the Cult's attack would not.
Since Subaru seemingly skipped months of school without consequences, does Japan have no mandatory school Rules? Or maybe this is a Germany-only thing, like in Germany, if you miss without justification the school can have the police drag you to school (you have to be absent a lot to make that happen, though)
I think he might have taken up some sort home-schooling program/thing (if there is in Japan) where regular attendance is not required, which might be designed for students who are unable to visit/go to school for regularly/never some reason
U only need to complete until middle school like many other countries. U probably won’t get any jobs being a middle school grad but subarus dad hooked him up so he got a job
Imagine an if route where Subaru after recovering due to his dad, getting a good job and a girlfriend got summoned at Re Zero world, world where he is separated from the people he loves, have no interest on founding waifus and genuinely wants to return to his home, and faced many problems so the way he got betrayed by Rem, he ended up outsmarting Rem, Ram and got them killed, actually managed to have contact with Echidna then ask for her power and a way to return home, endured more suffering and hate this Re Zero world and started a journey in which he betrayed people like Emilia, Otto, Garfield, destroying Emilia's, joined Crusch's camp but left them to be killed by White whale, fought with Al and successfully stole his powers and become the Final Boss of Re Zero which Envy Subaru has to beat So Last Battle would be between Subaru who helped people vs Subaru who abandoned people 😈😈
For the longest time I was suspecting that his dad was flugel and got sent back to earth. So his dad was a proto subaru and we get to see him after fixing all of his flaws.
Meh. Suburu is your average loser anime protagonist like all the rest in the medium. A socialble sporty, good looking, tall guy would accomplish more and do better than that neet shut in. Smh.
@@subertin1382 if it isn't Suburu, it would have been someone else. As long as that someone lacks suburus, mental, emotional, physical inferiority, he'd accomplish more and better. Smh.
@@3dsmaster537 Ah, I guess this should be a good time to mention, that I have only watched the first episode of Re Zero, and that too a couple years back. I absolutely adore Mushoku Tensei though, and people who like Mushoku Tensei, have spoken favourably about Re Zero, which is why I have been reconsidering watching Re Zero! In the midst of all this, I got reccommended this video, and well the fact it was a question being asked, implied that Re Zero also treats it's Isekai aspect with care, where it actually matters that the protagonist was re incarnated, in contrast to many other Isekais, which could work equally well, if the protagonist had started out in the fantasy world itself, without any prior biases! So I decided to watch this lore video, and will probably Re Zero during a long weekend, so probably a couple months from now! That being said and done, I thought that in the WN Subaru probably met up with his parents at some point, or at least gets to visit his world briefly at the end, for the sake of, idk, fanservice to the audience, of the non-echhi variety. Hence the question! :)
@@The_Rising_Dragon that meeting with his parents is in the second season so don't worry. On the other hand, it was only an illusion technically speaking
Honestly, without Subaru, everybody in the other world doesn't matter to us anymore. Without Subaru, the lives of Emilia, Rem, the femboy whose name I forgot, Crusch, Satella, Roswaal, Garfiel, etc., no longer serve a purpose to us.
I like to think this would have been Subaru's 3rd trial at the sanctuary: Watching what his future would have been had he been not summoned. And him getting shredded by the realization that he could have been happy and normal.
If I remember correctly, in Pride IF Subaru states that Ram looks dead and will do anything Roswaal will tell her. The way I understood it was that Rem died and Ram lost her purpose to live; I'm pretty sure this was Pride IF but im not 100% sure.
@@silentoccasion4359 As the name suggests, they are ”what if” scenarios written by the author himself. Most of these routes began as one chapter entries in the web novel, although some of them have been expanded after that (Rem/Sloth If, and Kansaneru/Greed IF have gotten their own full length Light Novels for example). These stories aren’t canon in the sense that they don’t follow the main stories events, but they are well written enough that most people truly do view them as alternative canons that tie into the main canon, greatly expanding the lore and context of the main route.
8:20 If Subaru ended up having a perma death at the end of the story after saving the whole freaking world then it would not be Worth it at all. But if he lives toghether with the majority of the people he saved then i guess you could say that it would be Worth it.
Subaru being in the Re:Zero world is literally a blessing for everyone. If Subaru was never summoned a lot of things could’ve gone wrong. For example Roswaal not saving Ram and Rem, Crush’s existence vanishing because of the white whale and Emilia still being isolated in the forest. The reason why I think that couldve happened with Ram and Emilia is because the main reason why Roswaal saved them was to be with Echidna again, but without Subaru, I think he can’t achieve his goal.
It's oddly for the author to elaborate more detail on how Subru's life would be if he never summon. I have a feeling it may come to be important later on.
I definitely wouldn't have gone to Lugunica. Why would i give up my perfectly happy life for one full of suffering ? Call me heartless but they all be damned.
One of the greatest threat would be to Betelguese. Imagine if Regulus is accomplishing his goal and suddenly he kills Emilia. Guy is gonna end his whole career in an instant. Then Sirius will avenge him and die as well..
We have seen that if Emilia dies in any other kind of way or person Betelgeuse wouldnt have minded that and just lugh and thank them for finishing things before the ordeal even started and continue bring suffering to the world as wirch cultists
@@TruthOfZ0 In Wrath if betelgeuse also never even finds out that emilia exists with that betel never seeks to find her and keeps going with his buisness, the reason behind that is that emilia did go back from the position of the ruler of queen as she never showed up This here is the same, so betelgeuse will never know that she even existed
Considering what's happening, btw since youre already watching a spoiler ig. It would either be Satella being a psycho paradox (creating the universe of re zero using time travel and RbD) or a sociopath witch (meaning that Subaru and Emilia are reunited/reborn/destined versions of Flugel and Satella)
Hmm I think it’s worthwhile because Subaru thinks it is worthwhile or he could just quit whenever I know he tried many time but the decision to stand up again is his too and it is also great that the people he is willing to die for are willing to die for him too even though they have only one life. I just hope no one comes with memory changing powers again :/ About leaving his future wife is just fantasy for him at the moment and he doesn’t know about it Like the Subaru he marries his kohai would never want to leave that life And the Subaru who got transported would not leave emilia camp behind so they are different people
subaru is so lucky to have the parents he does, theyre both good role models (atleast based on subaru's memories and echidna's recreation of those memories). i would not for a second believe that subaru would stay miserable forever if he hadnt been summoned, his parents are good enough that they wouldve definitely helped him out of the ditch
@@kidaneechan yeah I know I just hope Subaru learns of that I still think him not bringing up the fact he lost his family with Satella was a missed opportunity
Couple things I question about what the author said regarding felt and Emilia being killed by the bowel hunter: 1. Wouldn't roswall's book be telling him how to achieve his goals, and if there were no Subaru around, wouldn't it change its directions and not necessarily include hiring Elsa to get her insignia and kill the people at the loot house including Emilia? It wasn't even public that Emilia was going to be a candidate yet until she went back to the capitol with Subaru to attend the official start of the the royal selection, so felt wouldn't have known to steal the insignia because Elsa wouldn't have become her "client" Also. If roswall's book really just kept acting like Subaru was around, wouldn't puck start killing everyone in the capitol, thus effecting everyone and potentially killing most of the people there before reinhard arrived to slay him? And if Roswall's book of wisdom was shown to be so dramatically incorrect about someone rescuing Emilia and getting her insignia, would he not then question its ability to help him achieve his goal of reviving echidna?
Witch cult knew all along. They even knew about artificial spirits in Arc 5. Knowing about all candidates before election is easy. And regardless of Roswaal Elsa would kill her. Because Elsa is also takes order from someone else, that's why she disobeyed Roswaal's order of just killing Beatrice and attacked everyone... Roswaal says gospel is inferior but he might be wrong. And it's not like any candidate survives even if they don't die very early. Arc 5 kills Anastasia %100. Whale kills Crush %100 Betelgeuse kills Emilia%100 Betelgeuse actually might be most dangerous arcbishop because he is unpredictable as fuck has 10 lives and unseen hands are broken. He is meticulous as fuck. Roswaal while can kill all arcbishops in a fair fight.... There is no such thing as fair fight. Only Subaru can defeat them and Reinhard can only survive with everyone's corpses around. And Puck is useless. Something will kill Priscilla... Simply as that. But wrath kills her %100 if she comes to Priestella. Or just drops out the election. Felt.... Felt wouldn't be found if it's not for Subaru but again... Did Elsa reached felt because of Roswaal or she would done regardless? Who knows but it's not like Reinhard can save her if she is attacked by even 1 arcbishop. To beat Reinhard, a book is enough. To beat Subaru..... ... You don't beat Subaru. When you do, you never actually did since it never happened. He kinda decides everything... With paralel worlds debunked (it was stupid to being with) and when you think he has the scariest method of travelling in time, with his consciousness so there isn't anything for anyone to sense... He is above and observer and god in re zero.
I think of Suburu's power as a thought experiment. It allows him to live out each choice to feel it's effect so he can decide on one. Why it seems that the "save points" change regardless of his will is because it is his conviction that is the trigger, not his conscious will. Whenever he makes a choice he refuses to back down from, that is a save. So it is Suburu deciding it all in the end. He just isn't wise enough yet to understand how it all connects. How to make use of his power in a way that causes the least harm without feeling the lessons of pain with his own flesh.
@@jacobfreeman5444 yeah... It makes sense. And when you think about it losing Rem... Subaru might also decided that since Rem was throwing herself to death All the time. Subaru might unconsciously thought "In the end I remember her And no one does. That means other than gluttony no one can decide to harm Rem and they already took what they want... That means until I recover her name and memories Rem cannot die" That's what I thought. And I think Subaru is quite in control but it's in shadow garden so we don't see it. If you remember arc 6... Envy attacked to the tower EVERY LOOP regardless of Louise remembering or not since she was also angry. Now remember arc 4... Envy only attacked once because Echidna learned about RbD... She could simply attacked every loop so Subaru won't get into the trial or tea party and Echidna would never learn about it. But guess what happened... She just stopped doing it. In my opinion if Subaru decides to tell someone genuinely... Then no one can stop him. That's why Envy attacked. Normally she was doing it because Subaru subconsciously didn't wanted to tell but now she sees it as a way to help Subaru so she didn't wanted to stop. When Subaru killed herself with Echidna's dagger... He appeared in shadow garden and... showed Envy his place. Yeah he doesn't have a body there but that seems more methaforical since he can see without eyes and hear without ears. So I can imagine Subaru slapping Envy's ass and saying "Now... Who is at fault?" "Harder daddy! I was a bad girl... I won't do it again!" "What....? "What?" Quite possible that Envy is the convinient woman that Echidna dreamt of being to Subaru.
Rem dies to the curse in arc 2 due to Subaru’s absense. Not to mention that she only dies in actual arc 2 due to Subaru basically making himself absent A fundamental part to writing any time loop in fiction is to first create a base state/story for the loop where all people who can remember past loops are inactive throughout said loop. The Rem curse loop is Tappei’s way to show us the arc 2 loop’s base state, so it’s should be considered as such when speculating on Subaru’s absense.
Subaru apeared in the mantion thats what make the little girl curse people by Roswaal orders..if Subaru didnt Summoned that would have never been occured, Subaru's presence made Roswaal act!
@@TruthOfZ0 Nope! Only Elsa in arc and and Elsa/Meili in arc 4 were ordered by Roswaal. Roswaal specifically states in front of Subaru when they’re alone that he didn’t order the mabeast invasion, but rather that he just sorta let it play out naturally. So probably it’s Capella trying to sow some discord in the Mathers domain, perhaps in retaliation for Roswaal quite clearly setting up Elsa for defeat earlier, as he goes on to hire Subaru, and continues to house Emilia.
Lmao, that's actually the case. But it would be delayed because he needed mana. Though, Reinhardt's presence would settle it. Poor Regulus won't have another Waifu and Reinhardt would never kill Regulus.
@@lordescanor8232 Nah, Regulus has chances to kill Reinhardt but Reinhardt doesn't, until he figures out of his wives. Regulus would have won in the arc if their location was not in Pristella.
About fate of Emilia and Felt in this world (I only read to 26th volume and all of "what if's" so probably I don't know something). I'm not so sure if they would be killed, mainly because arc 1 stuff was started by Roswaal's actions (his Gospel told him to arrange things that way). Moreover I think that Emilia would be still in Elior Forest because she met Roswaal there only because of his Gospel. So probably Emilia camp would never form. Maybe Felt and Emilia would die because of something else but who knows. Moreover probably Rem would be also safe because arc 2 happened mainly because of Roswaal's actions again. Of course Roswaal's Gospel is big unknown in this world because we don't know what it would tell Roswaal to do. But it is only my speculations, maybe I don't remember some stuff or don't know about but I wanted to point out my doubts. Overall another great video Jakez!
thats what i thought aswell, if subaru was never summoned the things in arc 1 would never happen, because they only happend because subaru got summonend and roswaal then ordered elsa to go there, so without subaru roswaal should not have elsa hired
@@gandalfstyle2977 Anime only's cannot theorize a lot here guys. It's wrong to assume that the book of wisdom and Roswaal were such a plot point mainly because of arc 5 revelations. SPOILER Elsa would go to kill Emilia regardless because Roswaal isn't the only one buying her services, Echidna and pretty much all of her plans including the book of wisdom and artificial spirits are well known by the witch cult and they can counter the book with their own gospels so even if Roswaal didn't act the same Emilia and Felt would die, along with everyone else. It's even stated by Tappei.
So a lot of comments are suggesting that if Subaru was never summoned. Then Roswaal wouldn’t hire Elsa (meaning felt and Emilia live, another QNA by Tappei states that If subaru didn’t exist they would still both die in the capital (suggesting they would die to Elsa regardless if subaru is summoned or not) It can be found in here: www.reddit.com/r/Re_Zero/comments/6huo9j/wn_re_zeros_detailed_story_and_whatif_stories_qa/
If Suburu wasn't summoned, another would take his place. As long as that new individual isn't your generic cliche isekai loser protagonist that plauges the genre they would accomplish more and be better, that including felt and Emilia being saved. Just imagine a chad instead of Suburu. Damn. Re zero wouldn't have a chance.
Are you referring to the QNA you had in the video [with the "another QNA]? Because if so, I can not agree with you interpretation. It only states: If they both die the royal selection will be postponed - not that they will die without Subaru.
He would have lost his life or worst...because none of them could bring down the whale and sure they would never think to thow the tree on the whale to win
Hmm worth? Of course it doesn't worth. They all deserve to suffer actually... Even if I love them as characters. Let's see how Subaru's friends react when they first see him. Emilia- for her whole life she screams at everyone she hates her that she is Emilia and not witch. Subaru? Who didn't judge her and even liked her? Oh... She is Satella in that case and why? Because she cannot accept that Subaru doesn't give a shit about elf or witch stuff and since she is unable to accept and refuses to get out of her comfort zone and tries to make Subaru go away. This, not being able to get out of comfort zone is very witch like btw... They are basically hypocrites who has no intention of changing even if they suffer because they get used to it. Emilia never trusted Subaru. While she felt gratudite, she also wanted Puck to check on him and told him to keep it as a secret but Puck didn't listen so Subaru also knows that. Oh... Did you know if Subaru somewhat stopped Elsa from reaching loot house Emilia would not believe him and attack him? Even with Puck being present and knowing he can tell if he is lying or not? This happens in Otto if and later when she meets Subaru again when he was successful with Otto she still doesn't believe him when he says he was never a thief. Roswaal- not much to say. But there is this one fact that even with book telling him all the stuff until arc 3 he didn't even believed Subaru was the one mentioned in the book... That's probably because he was looking down on him. Beatrice- while Subaru was injured in Arc 1... She, Rem and Ram said they shouldn't fucking heal him and let him die. (Side story) because he is sus and remember... No one knows he has the witch scent yet so they just didn't like him and hated him at first sight. She also wanted to make Subaru go insane by playing with space and destroying his perception... As a joke. If you think about first times then Echidna is far better than Beatrice. Ram- a misconception. Ram never mercy killed Subaru. The torture was longer than anime and Subaru constantly lose his consciousness and brought back by Rem's magic. In the end Ram realized no matter how crazy it looked Subaru isn't lying and he is innocent as a child(Oh... At this point everyone having hard time to believe Subaru is 17... They think him as 10 or 12 or something... They are torturing a child.) So she kills Subaru before Rem can have a mental breakdown... She was shocked when Subaru spouting incomprehensible stuff but if Ram didn't kill Subaru when he was saying he genuinely loved them... Rem's mind would be damaged. Rem- As like others I won't tell the obvious stuff. But... Rem, without any reason like witch scent etc. Hated Subaru and thought she could never get along with him and even was going to choke him while he was sleeping and snapped out when Subaru was having a nightmare. I can keep fucking going on and while I like these characters I also have eyes to see how fucked up and twisted they are at the core and definitely this world doesn't deserve Subaru. ...*But* One person. Did accept Subaru. When they had a reason to even kill him or take him to question him... Yes. That guy. Reinhard. Reinhard probably felt all the dark stuff inside Subaru, knew he was from grand waterfall and he could check his mind and see he is a mad man who is trying to 'save' a girl that he doesn't even know what name she has. But Reinhard believed him, saved him and became friends with him. And people ask why that guy has every power... Duh. Source is side story between arc 1 and 2, Otto if. Wrath if and (where Roswaal realize he is the one WHEN HE KILLED BY HIM though that's not the only reason you can observe he has doubts) About age... Whether it's side stories in Arc 2, manga or LN it's constantly mentioned how they cannot believe Subaru is 17 and an adult. So he isn't even 15 in their eyes.
@@user-pi1jf2fu3f When Puck tells Emilia that Subaru has no ill intent whatsoever. We learn that she was the one who asked him to check. And Subaru is like 'That's fine'. This is after Emilia is saved by Subaru and he took a lethal blow so...
Well it shows how badass this loser hero is I LOVE SUBARU he'd have been so happy but he's giving everyone a future while he suffers and he's utterly alone
Personally, I am not the biggest fan of Rezero. It's just not really my thing. But I really really enjoy your videos because they are short and to the point as well as always seem to cover a unique or interesting topic. Keep up the good work.
Just dropping here that, in the end, Rem losing her memories is more healthy for her than keeping them. By the point she lost her memories, she only had two things in mind, Ram and Subaru. She had no self-esteem. Spoiler !!!! Hence why she acts like Ram so much when she regains consciousness.
If subaru wasnt summoned, important things will happen. 1) ram will be killed by elsa in an alley like in the normal story (rams flirt refusal), since subaru isnt here Al wont notice her nor saved her with his power. this happens because the world wants emilia dead and so people which tries to help her tends to get killed too. 2) emilia would die due to elsa (she will be there for other reasons), because the world is against emilia and constantly tries to kill her, as we saw in frozen bonds. possibly emilia will find rams corpse in the alley and then they will find elsa nearby and fight her. 3) rem and roswald would die in the attack of the witch cult, who still dont know emilia is already dead. this will happen because roswald gives up on life after the only person which can accomplish is goal, ram, died. in a similar way of wrath if. rem then will fight to protect the children and die as seen in the anime. 3b) beatrice will live alone in the mansion (it wont be set on fire so she wont be discovered by the witch cult) 4) crusch, whilhelm and ferris will die against the white whale with crusch exsistence erased from the world. (ferris technically still alive but empty) 5) arlam village will be erased 6) garfield and people of sanctuari will be killed by the sizeable Hare, which will pass by sanctuary due to the great amount of power that the barrier release (roswald only make it wuicker to happen) 7) anastasia and his camp will be killed along a good amount of people of priestella, while priscilla camp will probably survive depending on how much enemies she draws to her (and so if Al is able to help or fails) 8) the royal election will be canceled 9) Reinhardt and Felt will survive. Lust will flee like we saw, wrath will be killed along with sloth by reinhardt, glottony will lose against him but manage to flee(short range teleport). regulus and reinhardt will stall for a long time. eventually reinhardt will play dead to allow him to go away. the damage to the city will be immense 10) kiritaka will hire warriors and people to get to the pleiades watchtower to heal the victims of glottony and lust, but they wont be able to pass through the sandstorm. 11) priscilla, Al and vincent will work togheter to reclaim the throne, but somewhere in the middle they will die because Al will reach his limit and priscilla luck wont be enough to prevent her from dying. Thats all i can think of
@Ambridge he could yes. but ram is already dead and he gives up on life if she dies. also, the book of wisdom of petelgeuse wrote to carry on the ordeal at roswald mansion, so he will be there, after all the news that emilia died in the capital wont spread due to roswald.
He still might get that waifu. It all depends on what happens to Subaru by the end of the story. Could get one epilogue where he lives the rest of his life there, and then when he dies, is sent back to Japan.
That would make sense that he would work and become a normal member of society after his dad tells him to go out. I wouldn’t see him let Subaru be too far gone that he becomes isolated
put it simply, do you wanted to sacrifice this one dud whole happiness or put everybody's life in line. basically the most worst state you can ever think of.
Feeling a lot like A Wonderful Life in the sense that you may feel problematic and low self-esteem, but you never know the effect you have on the world around you
All of us want subaru to have a good ending since he sacrificed so much and till now he is sttanding nicely and preventing to be doomed and just accept what fate he had
If Subaru was never summoned, Roswaal would have never backed Emilia as a candidate which would make her never leave the elior forest. Or you could say she could have been killed in the forest later or sold as a slave later because of her appearance as a witch.
So basically Subaru is wearing the re zero world's burden on his shoulders and and he could not had been in that place if he was never summoned but there's nothing he could do to prevent it.
Hey what IF Subaru gets to see all that Kinda like how he "met" his parents in the Tomb trials It would be cool if in some way he gets to see a world where he never left earth it would do great to his character. Would he choose bliss and not go over any trouble or be in a world where he sufffers but gets to be happy at the end. Its kinda like Sloth IF
guys u r forgetting something the only reason roswell got emilia from the frozen forest is because he knew she can be used as bait for subaru so emilia would still be in the forest if subaru never would show. and without emilia roswell would ever hire that assassin to steal he thing from her making felt alive but crush would still die and when the sin arch bishop of the witch cultist attacks they will all die. also emilia would be protected by puck and felt would be in the slums and no one would be able to find them to start the royal selection
It's because of his ability to revive after death not because of him being there but he did good overall like someone else with same ability would just escape to another country in the re zero world
My theory is that Isekai characters are viruses to re zero world causing change and it always seems like the world goes against them I mean look at Al and Subaru they both have the worst luck possible they ain't dead coz of rbd only so if my crack theory is right I could finally speak fluent space horse and tentacle dude
Just by the title, I mean yeah I feel like the proper interpretation of the situation is that Subaru is NOT meant for the re zero world and shouldn’t have been summoned to it, like at every obstacle he faces it would be EASY if he was even slightly compatible with the way of the world
Its amazing to think about how given if Subaru never left his story would sound like your standard rom com. Which is more tragic in itself that Subaru never had a choice to where he was taken. The character growth that he would've gone through was traded with him being required to do so much more and broke him before he could accept it. Also the fact Subaru made life so much better for everyone and they wont know how much he did so.
While Aganau IF isn’t as cononically driven as the other IF’s, it does show a compelling case to the argument that Ferris wouldn’t kill himself. The important thing to realize is that Ferris got captured by Subaru in the Pride IF, meaning he didn’t just lose Crusch’s existance, but also during his worst time of suffering, he was forced into captivity, meaning his last shreds of sanity would’ve probably considered himself better off dead than to allow himself to become a pawn to a madman. Also, I suspect Julius and Reinhard would be the first ones to find him, helping him cope.
So basically, if Subaru is never summoned he would be happier, he would not know about lugunica so he don't care...hell he will not even meet Emilia and the others so fuck it! Let my boi barusu be happy
*But what if ADULT SUBARU who already have happy life and have girlfriend (but not married yet) being summoned to dying world of Lugnica* now i'm curious

For me, what happened to Subaru's parents after Subaru got summoned is still the saddest thing in Re:Zero, but this is very up there.
@Professional Retard Time hasn't stopped while Subaru is issekai'd, so his parents have been spending the entirety of the story so far looking for him, as in their world he has seemingly vanished without a trace.
@@laneslash6639 Imagine his father after all the years he tried to help him all of a sudden all you've done to help him goes to a waste and disappears with no way to get it back
@@somedudeawakeatlike1am801 Pretty sure he doesn't care about his "work going to waste" it is his one and only son we are talking about here.
It isn't about how much work he put into getting Subaru better it is about the fact his weak pained son suddenly disapeared without a trace not even leaving a body for them to bury.
It isn't his fault but the amount of griefe and horror his parents must be feeling while having no idea what happened to their son....no idea wrether he is alive or not when they will NEVER be able to find him...must be killing them inside.
It is a good thing he doesn't really think about it but if he knew his parents were still out looking for him he would probably break for a while.

It’s fucked up because in every anime where people get summoned at least their family is deceased, or time moves slowly in the “real” world and they can go back and forth. But honestly, this anime makes everything more “real” because let’s be honest. If any of us were summoned we probably have made a lot of our own mistakes along the way.
Subaru : *Doesnt get summoned*
Roswaal : Fine ill do it myself

Another thing you have to consider though is that Elsa was only there in the first loop because roswall hired her to be since the gospel knew Subaru would be showing up so it depends on "how" Subaru wasn't summoned if he was intended to be and something went wrong yes Emilia and felt would die but if he was never intended to be summoned to begin with that first loop wouldn't have existed
Yeah, without Subaru Roswaal would basically just solve every threat in the anime so far. He would have no reason to risk them.
No. Don't forget Elsa's only employer isn't Roswaal.
Regardless of what Roswaal said she did killed everyone in the Mansion when she just should've killed Beatrice. So she would definitely kill her regardless of Roswaal's choice.
That day Emilia leaved the mansion by her own will btw... She would die regardless.
@@starmegalo1770 Yeah but Roswaal has the book of wisdom. Roswaal wouldn't just let that happen without Subaru being there. Then again there are shown to be some gaps in the book's knowledge.
@@vortechstg4091 well your question is actually answered in a q&a
@@vortechstg4091 it's already obvious that WITCH cult has better ways of knowing even if Roswaal says gospel is inferior.
Elsa's order of killing everyone is basically witch cult easily countering it... They know it exist. And they don't even care. It was one of the requests they asked in Arc 5 but they never expected for people to accepted it so basically Roswaal's book is a joke to witch cult.
Subaru is a tragic hero, he suffers so others can be in better positions/situations. I feel Subaru needed the re zero world cuz he made people like Reinhardt , Al and rem feel like their relationships drastically improve their well being and mindset. Al would probably feel more lonely considering there’s no other summoned people without Subaru. Re zero really is a story about how one person can change the lives of many
@Ambridge Reinhardt because of royal selection
For some reason, Subaru's character is kinda similar to Jesus Christ. Jesus could've been a king and lived happily through his father's influence but still chose to suffer for mankind and save their souls. Proceeds to die in a few days then rises up.

Edit: Spoilers for Arc 5, Minor spoilers for 6/7
If Subaru wasn't summoned wouldn't Roswaal's -Gospel- Book of Wisdom not tell him to send an assassin after Emilia?
If so The Royal Selection _might_ proceed, the Witch Cult would attack Emilia, but Roswaal wouldn't leave the problem in the hands of -Subaru- so he would probably protect the village and Emilia
Crusch would be erased from memory, Emilia would never overcome her past, Felt might not have been discovered and not become a candidate potentially delaying the events of the series by quite a bit.
The White Whale and Great Rabbit would not be killed/removed however Roswaal would have no reason to draw the Great Rabbit to Sanctuary so Garfiel and company would be safe
Priestella would be where everything goes wrong, Without Subaru They would not have a way of defeating Regulus, and many others would likely die from Wrath.
Pleiades Watchtower would be a catastrophe, I don't know who would go or whether they would make it inside or whether Shaula would just kill them if Subaru wasn't there, but even if everything went right they wouldn't be able to solve the first room and would probably die at the Four Corners.

@@Routine_Couple what was the answer then?
Nah... Emilia dies one way or another.
Even Priscilla isn't surviving the witch cult btw... The moment she meets even one she dies.
The most she can survive is probably until arc 7? I am sure Anastasia would die earlier because of Edna's existence is known by witch cult.
@@TruthOfZ0 Q: If Subaru did not exist, would the candidates of the Royal Selection face the inevitable future of being eliminated? Or with two factions absent, does the meeting in Priestella would not have taken place?
A: Emilia and Felt would die in the capital, Crusch would die in an attempt to subjugate the White Whale, and it would have been a Royal Selection that started without suitable substitutes for Emilia and Felt; Anastasia or Priscilla would take the throne. The meeting at Priestella may still have occurred, but the Cult's attack would not.
@@starmegalo1770 Yes correct!
Since Subaru seemingly skipped months of school without consequences, does Japan have no mandatory school Rules? Or maybe this is a Germany-only thing, like in Germany, if you miss without justification the school can have the police drag you to school (you have to be absent a lot to make that happen, though)
I think it's only mandatory until middle school but I might be wrong
I think he might have taken up some sort home-schooling program/thing (if there is in Japan) where regular attendance is not required, which might be designed for students who are unable to visit/go to school for regularly/never some reason
U only need to complete until middle school like many other countries. U probably won’t get any jobs being a middle school grad but subarus dad hooked him up so he got a job
Maybe he has to repeat the year? That's how it is in my country.
If that so in our country, you're dropped and in need to repeat next year, unless you're in for homeschooling.
Imagine an if route where Subaru after recovering due to his dad, getting a good job and a girlfriend got summoned at Re Zero world, world where he is separated from the people he loves, have no interest on founding waifus and genuinely wants to return to his home, and faced many problems so the way he got betrayed by Rem, he ended up outsmarting Rem, Ram and got them killed, actually managed to have contact with Echidna then ask for her power and a way to return home, endured more suffering and hate this Re Zero world and started a journey in which he betrayed people like Emilia, Otto, Garfield, destroying Emilia's, joined Crusch's camp but left them to be killed by White whale, fought with Al and successfully stole his powers and become the Final Boss of Re Zero which Envy Subaru has to beat

I absolutely adore Mushoku Tensei though, and people who like Mushoku Tensei, have spoken favourably about Re Zero, which is why I have been reconsidering watching Re Zero!
In the midst of all this, I got reccommended this video, and well the fact it was a question being asked, implied that Re Zero also treats it's Isekai aspect with care, where it actually matters that the protagonist was re incarnated, in contrast to many other Isekais, which could work equally well, if the protagonist had started out in the fantasy world itself, without any prior biases!
So I decided to watch this lore video, and will probably Re Zero during a long weekend, so probably a couple months from now!
That being said and done, I thought that in the WN Subaru probably met up with his parents at some point, or at least gets to visit his world briefly at the end, for the sake of, idk, fanservice to the audience, of the non-echhi variety.
Hence the question!

@@silentoccasion4359 As the name suggests, they are ”what if” scenarios written by the author himself.
Most of these routes began as one chapter entries in the web novel, although some of them have been expanded after that (Rem/Sloth If, and Kansaneru/Greed IF have gotten their own full length Light Novels for example).
These stories aren’t canon in the sense that they don’t follow the main stories events, but they are well written enough that most people truly do view them as alternative canons that tie into the main canon, greatly expanding the lore and context of the main route.
8:20 If Subaru ended up having a perma death at the end of the story after saving the whole freaking world then it would not be Worth it at all. But if he lives toghether with the majority of the people he saved then i guess you could say that it would be Worth it.

@@AngelOfCalamity he is tbh, the re zero world is lucky that he’s the reason WHY their surviving.
Subaru being in the Re:Zero world is literally a blessing for everyone. If Subaru was never summoned a lot of things could’ve gone wrong. For example Roswaal not saving Ram and Rem, Crush’s existence vanishing because of the white whale and Emilia still being isolated in the forest. The reason why I think that couldve happened with Ram and Emilia is because the main reason why Roswaal saved them was to be with Echidna again, but without Subaru, I think he can’t achieve his goal.

It's oddly for the author to elaborate more detail on how Subru's life would be if he never summon. I have a feeling it may come to be important later on.
I definitely wouldn't have gone to Lugunica. Why would i give up my perfectly happy life for one full of suffering ? Call me heartless but they all be damned.
One of the greatest threat would be to Betelguese. Imagine if Regulus is accomplishing his goal and suddenly he kills Emilia. Guy is gonna end his whole career in an instant. Then Sirius will avenge him and die as well..
In this Route Regulus never met emilia so it doesnt really matter tho
Non of which you mentioned here are anything to me. If it wasn't for the Gospel I would've finish them with ease.
We have seen that if Emilia dies in any other kind of way or person Betelgeuse wouldnt have minded that and just lugh and thank them for finishing things before the ordeal even started and continue bring suffering to the world as wirch cultists
@@TruthOfZ0 In Wrath if betelgeuse also never even finds out that emilia exists with that betel never seeks to find her and keeps going with his buisness, the reason behind that is that emilia did go back from the position of the ruler of queen as she never showed up
This here is the same, so betelgeuse will never know that she even existed
what if regulus and sirius fight would they both die ?
Wow, that was honestly a really impactful video, great stuff.
Considering what's happening, btw since youre already watching a spoiler ig. It would either be Satella being a psycho paradox (creating the universe of re zero using time travel and RbD) or a sociopath witch (meaning that Subaru and Emilia are reunited/reborn/destined versions of Flugel and Satella)
Hmm I think it’s worthwhile because Subaru thinks it is worthwhile or he could just quit whenever I know he tried many time but the decision to stand up again is his too and it is also great that the people he is willing to die for are willing to die for him too even though they have only one life.
I just hope no one comes with memory changing powers again :/
About leaving his future wife is just fantasy for him at the moment and he doesn’t know about it
Like the Subaru he marries his kohai would never want to leave that life

subaru is so lucky to have the parents he does, theyre both good role models (atleast based on subaru's memories and echidna's recreation of those memories). i would not for a second believe that subaru would stay miserable forever if he hadnt been summoned, his parents are good enough that they wouldve definitely helped him out of the ditch
TL;DR Either Lugunica or Subaru would be fucked, summoning switched it around
I really hope the terrible fate of his parents will be addressed one day
Tappei stated that when subaru was summoned, he'd gone missing in his real world and his parents are searching for him. Tragic, I know.

Essentially he would have just lived a happy normal life.
Couple things I question about what the author said regarding felt and Emilia being killed by the bowel hunter:
1. Wouldn't roswall's book be telling him how to achieve his goals, and if there were no Subaru around, wouldn't it change its directions and not necessarily include hiring Elsa to get her insignia and kill the people at the loot house including Emilia? It wasn't even public that Emilia was going to be a candidate yet until she went back to the capitol with Subaru to attend the official start of the the royal selection, so felt wouldn't have known to steal the insignia because Elsa wouldn't have become her "client"
Also. If roswall's book really just kept acting like Subaru was around, wouldn't puck start killing everyone in the capitol, thus effecting everyone and potentially killing most of the people there before reinhard arrived to slay him?
And if Roswall's book of wisdom was shown to be so dramatically incorrect about someone rescuing Emilia and getting her insignia, would he not then question its ability to help him achieve his goal of reviving echidna?
Witch cult knew all along.
They even knew about artificial spirits in Arc 5. Knowing about all candidates before election is easy.
And regardless of Roswaal Elsa would kill her. Because Elsa is also takes order from someone else, that's why she disobeyed Roswaal's order of just killing Beatrice and attacked everyone... Roswaal says gospel is inferior but he might be wrong.
And it's not like any candidate survives even if they don't die very early.
Arc 5 kills Anastasia %100.
Whale kills Crush %100
Betelgeuse kills Emilia%100 Betelgeuse actually might be most dangerous arcbishop because he is unpredictable as fuck has 10 lives and unseen hands are broken. He is meticulous as fuck. Roswaal while can kill all arcbishops in a fair fight.... There is no such thing as fair fight. Only Subaru can defeat them and Reinhard can only survive with everyone's corpses around. And Puck is useless.
Something will kill Priscilla... Simply as that. But wrath kills her %100 if she comes to Priestella. Or just drops out the election.
Felt.... Felt wouldn't be found if it's not for Subaru but again... Did Elsa reached felt because of Roswaal or she would done regardless? Who knows but it's not like Reinhard can save her if she is attacked by even 1 arcbishop. To beat Reinhard, a book is enough.
To beat Subaru.....
...
You don't beat Subaru. When you do, you never actually did since it never happened.
He kinda decides everything... With paralel worlds debunked (it was stupid to being with) and when you think he has the scariest method of travelling in time, with his consciousness so there isn't anything for anyone to sense... He is above and observer and god in re zero.
I think of Suburu's power as a thought experiment. It allows him to live out each choice to feel it's effect so he can decide on one. Why it seems that the "save points" change regardless of his will is because it is his conviction that is the trigger, not his conscious will. Whenever he makes a choice he refuses to back down from, that is a save. So it is Suburu deciding it all in the end. He just isn't wise enough yet to understand how it all connects. How to make use of his power in a way that causes the least harm without feeling the lessons of pain with his own flesh.
@@jacobfreeman5444 yeah... It makes sense.
And when you think about it losing Rem... Subaru might also decided that since Rem was throwing herself to death All the time.
Subaru might unconsciously thought "In the end I remember her And no one does. That means other than gluttony no one can decide to harm Rem and they already took what they want... That means until I recover her name and memories Rem cannot die" That's what I thought.
And I think Subaru is quite in control but it's in shadow garden so we don't see it. If you remember arc 6... Envy attacked to the tower EVERY LOOP regardless of Louise remembering or not since she was also angry.
Now remember arc 4... Envy only attacked once because Echidna learned about RbD... She could simply attacked every loop so Subaru won't get into the trial or tea party and Echidna would never learn about it.
But guess what happened... She just stopped doing it. In my opinion if Subaru decides to tell someone genuinely... Then no one can stop him. That's why Envy attacked. Normally she was doing it because Subaru subconsciously didn't wanted to tell but now she sees it as a way to help Subaru so she didn't wanted to stop.
When Subaru killed herself with Echidna's dagger... He appeared in shadow garden and... showed Envy his place.
Yeah he doesn't have a body there but that seems more methaforical since he can see without eyes and hear without ears. So I can imagine Subaru slapping Envy's ass and saying
"Now... Who is at fault?"
"Harder daddy! I was a bad girl... I won't do it again!"
"What....?
"What?"
Quite possible that Envy is the convinient woman that Echidna dreamt of being to Subaru.
That why flugel being subaru is genuinely true and make sense
Rem dies to the curse in arc 2 due to Subaru’s absense.
Not to mention that she only dies in actual arc 2 due to Subaru basically making himself absent
A fundamental part to writing any time loop in fiction is to first create a base state/story for the loop where all people who can remember past loops are inactive throughout said loop.
The Rem curse loop is Tappei’s way to show us the arc 2 loop’s base state, so it’s should be considered as such when speculating on Subaru’s absense.
Subaru apeared in the mantion thats what make the little girl curse people by Roswaal orders..if Subaru didnt Summoned that would have never been occured, Subaru's presence made Roswaal act!
@@TruthOfZ0 Nope! Only Elsa in arc and and Elsa/Meili in arc 4 were ordered by Roswaal.
Roswaal specifically states in front of Subaru when they’re alone that he didn’t order the mabeast invasion, but rather that he just sorta let it play out naturally.
So probably it’s Capella trying to sow some discord in the Mathers domain, perhaps in retaliation for Roswaal quite clearly setting up Elsa for defeat earlier, as he goes on to hire Subaru, and continues to house Emilia.

About fate of Emilia and Felt in this world (I only read to 26th volume and all of "what if's" so probably I don't know something). I'm not so sure if they would be killed, mainly because arc 1 stuff was started by Roswaal's actions (his Gospel told him to arrange things that way). Moreover I think that Emilia would be still in Elior Forest because she met Roswaal there only because of his Gospel. So probably Emilia camp would never form. Maybe Felt and Emilia would die because of something else but who knows. Moreover probably Rem would be also safe because arc 2 happened mainly because of Roswaal's actions again. Of course Roswaal's Gospel is big unknown in this world because we don't know what it would tell Roswaal to do. But it is only my speculations, maybe I don't remember some stuff or don't know about but I wanted to point out my doubts. Overall another great video Jakez!
thats what i thought aswell, if subaru was never summoned the things in arc 1 would never happen, because they only happend because subaru got summonend and roswaal then ordered elsa to go there, so without subaru roswaal should not have elsa hired

Elsa would go to kill Emilia regardless because Roswaal isn't the only one buying her services, Echidna and pretty much all of her plans including the book of wisdom and artificial spirits are well known by the witch cult and they can counter the book with their own gospels so even if Roswaal didn't act the same Emilia and Felt would die, along with everyone else. It's even stated by Tappei.
So a lot of comments are suggesting that if Subaru was never summoned. Then Roswaal wouldn’t hire Elsa (meaning felt and Emilia live, another QNA by Tappei states that If subaru didn’t exist they would still both die in the capital (suggesting they would die to Elsa regardless if subaru is summoned or not)
It can be found in here: www.reddit.com/r/Re_Zero/comments/6huo9j/wn_re_zeros_detailed_story_and_whatif_stories_qa/
If Suburu wasn't summoned, another would take his place. As long as that new individual isn't your generic cliche isekai loser protagonist that plauges the genre they would accomplish more and be better, that including felt and Emilia being saved.
Just imagine a chad instead of Suburu. Damn. Re zero wouldn't have a chance.
Are you referring to the QNA you had in the video [with the "another QNA]?
Because if so, I can not agree with you interpretation. It only states: If they both die the royal selection will be postponed - not that they will die without Subaru.
@@volleyballftw another one, it’s found in a reply underneath one of the top comments edit: I’ve edited the QNA into the pinned

@@Jakez123 perfect :) thank you
If Subaru was never summoned dogman wouldn’t have lost his arm
Man speaks facts.
@@resultingrun5928 true
He would have lost his life or worst...because none of them could bring down the whale and sure they would never think to thow the tree on the whale to win
He'd also be dead lol
Thank you for sharing! Re Zero world have no ideas how lucky Subaru is quite hero for them!
Hmm worth? Of course it doesn't worth. They all deserve to suffer actually... Even if I love them as characters.
Let's see how Subaru's friends react when they first see him.
Emilia- for her whole life she screams at everyone she hates her that she is Emilia and not witch. Subaru? Who didn't judge her and even liked her? Oh... She is Satella in that case and why? Because she cannot accept that Subaru doesn't give a shit about elf or witch stuff and since she is unable to accept and refuses to get out of her comfort zone and tries to make Subaru go away. This, not being able to get out of comfort zone is very witch like btw... They are basically hypocrites who has no intention of changing even if they suffer because they get used to it.
Emilia never trusted Subaru. While she felt gratudite, she also wanted Puck to check on him and told him to keep it as a secret but Puck didn't listen so Subaru also knows that.
Oh... Did you know if Subaru somewhat stopped Elsa from reaching loot house Emilia would not believe him and attack him? Even with Puck being present and knowing he can tell if he is lying or not? This happens in Otto if and later when she meets Subaru again when he was successful with Otto she still doesn't believe him when he says he was never a thief.
Roswaal- not much to say. But there is this one fact that even with book telling him all the stuff until arc 3 he didn't even believed Subaru was the one mentioned in the book... That's probably because he was looking down on him.
Beatrice- while Subaru was injured in Arc 1... She, Rem and Ram said they shouldn't fucking heal him and let him die. (Side story) because he is sus and remember... No one knows he has the witch scent yet so they just didn't like him and hated him at first sight.
She also wanted to make Subaru go insane by playing with space and destroying his perception... As a joke. If you think about first times then Echidna is far better than Beatrice.
Ram- a misconception. Ram never mercy killed Subaru. The torture was longer than anime and Subaru constantly lose his consciousness and brought back by Rem's magic. In the end Ram realized no matter how crazy it looked Subaru isn't lying and he is innocent as a child(Oh... At this point everyone having hard time to believe Subaru is 17... They think him as 10 or 12 or something... They are torturing a child.) So she kills Subaru before Rem can have a mental breakdown... She was shocked when Subaru spouting incomprehensible stuff but if Ram didn't kill Subaru when he was saying he genuinely loved them... Rem's mind would be damaged.
Rem- As like others I won't tell the obvious stuff. But... Rem, without any reason like witch scent etc. Hated Subaru and thought she could never get along with him and even was going to choke him while he was sleeping and snapped out when Subaru was having a nightmare.
I can keep fucking going on and while I like these characters I also have eyes to see how fucked up and twisted they are at the core and definitely this world doesn't deserve Subaru.
...*But*
One person. Did accept Subaru. When they had a reason to even kill him or take him to question him...
Yes.
That guy.
Reinhard. Reinhard probably felt all the dark stuff inside Subaru, knew he was from grand waterfall and he could check his mind and see he is a mad man who is trying to 'save' a girl that he doesn't even know what name she has.
But Reinhard believed him, saved him and became friends with him.
And people ask why that guy has every power... Duh.
Source is side story between arc 1 and 2, Otto if. Wrath if and (where Roswaal realize he is the one WHEN HE KILLED BY HIM though that's not the only reason you can observe he has doubts)
About age... Whether it's side stories in Arc 2, manga or LN it's constantly mentioned how they cannot believe Subaru is 17 and an adult. So he isn't even 15 in their eyes.
Sad (Tʖ̯T) 😭
In which chapter Subaru knows that Emilia doesn't trust him?
@@user-pi1jf2fu3f When Puck tells Emilia that Subaru has no ill intent whatsoever. We learn that she was the one who asked him to check. And Subaru is like 'That's fine'.
This is after Emilia is saved by Subaru and he took a lethal blow so...
@@starmegalo1770 ah yes, you're right. However, it was just at the beginning of the loops of arc 2.
Well it shows how badass this loser hero is I LOVE SUBARU he'd have been so happy but he's giving everyone a future while he suffers and he's utterly alone
Personally, I am not the biggest fan of Rezero. It's just not really my thing. But I really really enjoy your videos because they are short and to the point as well as always seem to cover a unique or interesting topic. Keep up the good work.
Why
I can relate, I watch like all of tekking101's videos even though I really don't fancy one piece
so then why do you watch re zero videos?
@@ernestomercado8176 maybe cuz I enjoy bits and pieces of info about the show more than the show? Maybe. My taste is weird af.
Suffering for the greater good of others? Gee... sounds like a superhero quote.
Just dropping here that, in the end, Rem losing her memories is more healthy for her than keeping them.
By the point she lost her memories, she only had two things in mind, Ram and Subaru.
She had no self-esteem.
Spoiler !!!!
Hence why she acts like Ram so much when she regains consciousness.
Subaru is literally the savier of re zero world, the equivalent of Jesus. Like holy fuck ,how did these guys even survive until his arrival ?
fair enough
Q:how did they? A: they just didn't i guess?
I actually wrote a fanfiction about this. Should I post it on the wattpad?
Yeah their world would be pretty bad without him kinda would
If subaru wasnt summoned, important things will happen.
1) ram will be killed by elsa in an alley like in the normal story (rams flirt refusal), since subaru isnt here Al wont notice her nor saved her with his power. this happens because the world wants emilia dead and so people which tries to help her tends to get killed too.
2) emilia would die due to elsa (she will be there for other reasons), because the world is against emilia and constantly tries to kill her, as we saw in frozen bonds. possibly emilia will find rams corpse in the alley and then they will find elsa nearby and fight her.
3) rem and roswald would die in the attack of the witch cult, who still dont know emilia is already dead. this will happen because roswald gives up on life after the only person which can accomplish is goal, ram, died. in a similar way of wrath if. rem then will fight to protect the children and die as seen in the anime.
3b) beatrice will live alone in the mansion (it wont be set on fire so she wont be discovered by the witch cult)
4) crusch, whilhelm and ferris will die against the white whale with crusch exsistence erased from the world. (ferris technically still alive but empty)
5) arlam village will be erased
6) garfield and people of sanctuari will be killed by the sizeable Hare, which will pass by sanctuary due to the great amount of power that the barrier release (roswald only make it wuicker to happen)
7) anastasia and his camp will be killed along a good amount of people of priestella, while priscilla camp will probably survive depending on how much enemies she draws to her (and so if Al is able to help or fails)
8) the royal election will be canceled
9) Reinhardt and Felt will survive. Lust will flee like we saw, wrath will be killed along with sloth by reinhardt, glottony will lose against him but manage to flee(short range teleport). regulus and reinhardt will stall for a long time. eventually reinhardt will play dead to allow him to go away. the damage to the city will be immense
10) kiritaka will hire warriors and people to get to the pleiades watchtower to heal the victims of glottony and lust, but they wont be able to pass through the sandstorm.
11) priscilla, Al and vincent will work togheter to reclaim the throne, but somewhere in the middle they will die because Al will reach his limit and priscilla luck wont be enough to prevent her from dying.
Thats all i can think of
@Ambridge he could yes. but ram is already dead and he gives up on life if she dies. also, the book of wisdom of petelgeuse wrote to carry on the ordeal at roswald mansion, so he will be there, after all the news that emilia died in the capital wont spread due to roswald.
Well that pretty much shuts down the fact that this is not just a dream or purgetory.
And do not forget, when Emilia dies Puck will go crazy.
He still might get that waifu. It all depends on what happens to Subaru by the end of the story. Could get one epilogue where he lives the rest of his life there, and then when he dies, is sent back to Japan.
Beako is worth a lifetime... actually multiple lifetime of suffering.
That would make sense that he would work and become a normal member of society after his dad tells him to go out. I wouldn’t see him let Subaru be too far gone that he becomes isolated
Well done as always
Day 7 of restating Priscilla will cause a diplomatic crisis between lugunica and vollachia
put it simply, do you wanted to sacrifice this one dud whole happiness or put everybody's life in line.
basically the most worst state you can ever think of.
For his happiness and SANITY it would be better if he never had been summoned to that Souls like world.
I think Subaru isn't valued enough. He's a fucking catalyst. 🤔
Feeling a lot like A Wonderful Life in the sense that you may feel problematic and low self-esteem, but you never know the effect you have on the world around you
This is why I love Kenichi
All of us want subaru to have a good ending since he sacrificed so much and till now he is sttanding nicely and preventing to be doomed and just accept what fate he had
If Subaru was never summoned, Roswaal would have never backed Emilia as a candidate which would make her never leave the elior forest. Or you could say she could have been killed in the forest later or sold as a slave later because of her appearance as a witch.
Subaru would have probably gone through the re life program lol
So basically Subaru is wearing the re zero world's burden on his shoulders and and he could not had been in that place if he was never summoned but there's nothing he could do to prevent it.
What a cruel fate
Either the world of re:zero suffers and subaru lives happily or the world of re:zero somehow survives while subaru suffers
Hey what IF
Subaru gets to see all that
Kinda like how he "met" his parents in the Tomb trials
It would be cool if in some way he gets to see a world where he never left earth
it would do great to his character. Would he choose bliss and not go over any trouble or be in a world where he sufffers but gets to be happy at the end.
Its kinda like Sloth IF
when everyone finds out how much Subaru has suffered all of lugonica will arks him to be king and that is the how lust if starts
*Subaru doesn’t get summoned*
Satella: If you don’t want to die I’ll just have bring the death to you
Would you trade once man’s happiness to save a world?
guys u r forgetting something the only reason roswell got emilia from the frozen forest is because he knew she can be used as bait for subaru so emilia would still be in the forest if subaru never would show. and without emilia roswell would ever hire that assassin to steal he thing from her making felt alive but crush would still die and when the sin arch bishop of the witch cultist attacks they will all die. also emilia would be protected by puck and felt would be in the slums and no one would be able to find them to start the royal selection
It's because of his ability to revive after death not because of him being there but he did good overall like someone else with same ability would just escape to another country in the re zero world
Growth of subaru……I have no idea what you’re talking about
That boy cries at every time he dies at valorant
Sheeesh, the man himself
It would be interesting to see this as a what if but the main story nah
Subaru is the world lol now
Subaru: gets summoned
Re zero world: *so anyways I started blasting*
subaru getting summoned is basically the second coming of christ to the other world
The witch cult would get destroyed at pristella because no plot is holding him down from going full power
My theory is that Isekai characters are viruses to re zero world causing change and it always seems like the world goes against them I mean look at Al and Subaru they both have the worst luck possible they ain't dead coz of rbd only so if my crack theory is right I could finally speak fluent space horse and tentacle dude
this is a sad IF
Just by the title, I mean yeah I feel like the proper interpretation of the situation is that Subaru is NOT meant for the re zero world and shouldn’t have been summoned to it, like at every obstacle he faces it would be EASY if he was even slightly compatible with the way of the world
En conclusion, Subaru solo tiene que sufir.
3:36 god damn didn't know beetle juice got summoned too
Its amazing to think about how given if Subaru never left his story would sound like your standard rom com. Which is more tragic in itself that Subaru never had a choice to where he was taken. The character growth that he would've gone through was traded with him being required to do so much more and broke him before he could accept it. Also the fact Subaru made life so much better for everyone and they wont know how much he did so.
"Subru Subru Subru"
SUBARU godamn it
While Aganau IF isn’t as cononically driven as the other IF’s, it does show a compelling case to the argument that Ferris wouldn’t kill himself.
The important thing to realize is that Ferris got captured by Subaru in the Pride IF, meaning he didn’t just lose Crusch’s existance, but also during his worst time of suffering, he was forced into captivity, meaning his last shreds of sanity would’ve probably considered himself better off dead than to allow himself to become a pawn to a madman.
Also, I suspect Julius and Reinhard would be the first ones to find him, helping him cope.
what about Puck? wouldn't he end up doing something when he realizes Emilia is assassinated?
Hmm a character that sacrifices themselves to save the world and who also comes back to life
Love this content
the real best hero
"Otto still in debt" some things never change
Puck would die to reinhard too as puck would go on a rampage after emilias death
So basically, if Subaru is never summoned he would be happier, he would not know about lugunica so he don't care...hell he will not even meet Emilia and the others so fuck it! Let my boi barusu be happy
*But what if ADULT SUBARU who already have happy life and have girlfriend (but not married yet) being summoned to dying world of Lugnica* now i'm curious
