GOATSSSS

Nexkhad

Reinhard is a descendant of Reid, Reid was alive 400 years ago

Useless

The author stated in a Q&A that Reid is the second strongest character behind Reinhard. Julius was cooked from the start

Milk carton

To explain two things, one Julius and Anastasia are not related they just happen to have the same hair colour and Julius is the best knight, he is the greatest knight in the Kingdom and reinhard is the strongest person in the world (possibly even history) but in pure swordsmanship with no divine protections I'm pretty sure Julius wins. second the reason Subaru wondered why Anastasia cared so much about Julius is because remember that's not Anastasia it's Echidna so Subaru is wondering why does she care so much about him.

The metaphor at the end of not letting Julius walk alone was really beautiful to me. This show is so deep with its writing sometimes it's such a perfect show man ngl

Fizzy 🐉

Man I love this anime so muchhhh

Adam Lawson

Julius has basically lost everything with people forgetting who he is. This fight with Reid is essentially his only way to prove himself as a true knight and not a self-proclaimed one like Subaru was back in season 1

wavyesper

So many parallels especially between Julius and Subaru. Subaru at the beginning of the series was unknown while julius was a respectable knight. Now, Subaru is well-known for his achievements while julius is unknown. Subaru knowing exactly how Julius was feeling impulsive and going for that second battle even though julius knew he wouldn't win. Subaru was alone with his despair back in s1 without having anyone to rely on while he was at his low point so when he saw himself in julius, there's no way subaru could leave him alone.

Tohan232

julius is a problem guys its just reinhard's family defines the term problem man is just unfortunate

BZD

Also even if It was Anastasia only Subaru even remembers Julius.

P. A.

Very nice episode! Reid isn't kidding when he says he can't cut anything with his chopsticks. Before he learned swordsmanship he was pretty much a brawler, which shows alot in his fight with Julius. And him needing 3 months to learn how to fight a sword before sword saint became a thing shows how much of an issue he is. Julius is lucky he didn't die. Also, it's a very nice detail: Julius being beaten by Reid with wooden chopsticks, while in his past, Reinhart beat his father (the guy who taught him the sword) with a wooden sword. It just proves how the Astrea blood and skill didn't fade even in Reinhart's time as sword saint. Also, Reid is his ancestor, not descendant lol.

sip

tbh while he got his ass beat, it's good to remember that this mf is genuinely strong, he is like, among the top 10 strongest people in the country, but the likes of reid and reinhard are simply just that stronger. Since he worked his ass off to be the "finest knight", and when he lost his name all of his achievements and bonds got lost, having hands was one of the only things that remained of his past life, so being owned like that hit him extra hard now. Anastasia is not family of him or anything (besides, anastasia is not in control of her body, and they all forgot about him, so the reason eridna got frantic trying to help him technically a mystery at this point), and if she got him as her personal knight is probably because he was genuinely a good choice.

Psyko6

Julius wish he could have the spirit arts “gun” to take out this “stick swinger”

ynezer

this ep made me like julius a lot more i still wonder how all of them are gonna pass the trial tho 🤔

KingDom

Why would Reid be the descendant he was there first.

Krype

I lowkey thought Julius was gonna snap Subarus neck or something on the stairs 😭

BZD

I’m assuming Roshi has meant Ancestor when he has been saying Descendant.

Tre Staples

They probably meant ancestor lol

Jose You

yea the big reason why subaru is surprised that echidna is so emotionally attached to Julius is that he's supposed to be forgotten by everyone except subaru. that's the other big question right now

Tre Staples

Julius got absolutely LUMPED up lmao 😂 y'all need to go downstairs and game plan

BZD

Sheera, what it was showing was that the guy teaching Julius how to fight lost to Reinhard, it wasn’t that he lost to Julius on purpose, he was just teaching him how to swing a sword. It’s just showing how big of a gap there has always been between Julius and Reinhard.

Jonathan Hart

Which puts into perspective how strong Reinhard is.

BZD

Remember Julius is also a Spirit Knight, but because he was forgotten his spirits aren’t helping him out. So he is nerfed here too. Not that it would have helped against this guy.

Xemnas27

PEAK ZERO LETS GOOO

Jonathan Hart

Fun fact whenever Reid cuts stuff he is essentially cutting concepts or the idea of it. Tappei said he is the one character that can behead Regulus and pass through his barrier

BZD

Emilia is also an extreme example of strength. She is near the top of the verse in strength. She passed through coincidences.

BZD

I’m pretty sure that he can’t cut through the invincibility itself. But he can cut the connection between the wives and then he could kill him. But it’s pretty vaguely stated.

Isotope

Probably just had them words mixed up lol

fluffypuppy2k

Next is isekai oji-san please please 🥺 🙏🙏🥺🥺

SensibleOutlaw

Reid isn't joking when he says he could cut anything Tappei stated he could just cut trough Reguleus authority theses guys are broken

Keegan

Just wanted to say that Julius is also nerfed by not being able to make use of his spirit arts properly. Julius having lost his name can't make new contracts with spirits and only has 6 spirits who no longer know who he is and are really just sticking around because of his divine protection. That's why despite being a spirit knight you don't see him using spirits arts once in this episode.

Orion C

I think it's more he's never been enough. Not that his teachers were pretending, or he's secretly trash. He's just always been a "good" Knight. Never great, never a legend, never a Hero, and most certainly not a Sword Saint. Everyone around him are these amazing legends, Emilia passed when he could not. Him and Reinhard grew up together. He only has absolute monsters to compare himself to, so he never feels good enough

Greg Harrison

Sheera was right about the julius flashback and roshi was right about the parallels. Julius is a great knight though, he just got powercrept by Reid/Reinhard. Also everyone forgot Julius so subaru's wondering why she got so mad for him.

Taiwo Aileru

There are just things that are too peculiar with this tower, bc what do you mean the first sword saint has only been wielding a sword for 3 months? Julius is Anastasia's knight from karagi (basically jp in this world) but he doesn't know what Reid had in his hand were chopsticks. Subaru even comments to the rest of the cast that it's the incorrect use of chopsticks, meaning that consuming food with sticks is something inconceivable in this world. Reid was supposingly meant to have passed from old age but he looked fine? we know that the sword saint power can bestow upon an astrea at any time so are we currently in a different point in time?

Fabien

One thing you might have missed, and that I find very weird myself, is that Anastasia reaction was especially irrational for two reasons: 1. she isn't Anastasia strictly speaking 2.she shouldn't really "know" Julius, on a personal level, no matter who she is, as everyone forgot about him. I only watch the anime so I don't know, but I noticed in Re:Zero it's often details that seem weird like that which end up having a lot of meaning later on. I remember in season 2 everything that seemed weird at first had a meaning eventually, I have the feeling season 4 might be of the same kind.

Wrëck

don't get lost in the power scaling, Julius is still the top knight aside from reinhard he's just going against someone who was/is op

Xemnas27

Damn this man really diffing people with chopsticks. Wild 😂

Oni Legend

Bro that man locked in with the proper swordstance for one second with them chopsticks and Julius saw fucking GOD nigga i’m sick. The pencil sketch was insane i deadass thought we were gonna see him just get brutally murdered out of nowhere by buddy

James

Seeing this fight animated was both epic and funny cause Julius used the majority of his bag simply for Reid to treat him as if he was hitting him with 20 sets of "boy I oughta". What's weird is that the sword Reinhardt wields is known as the Dragon Sword Reid, and it decides whether or not to use it based on whether it believes the opponent is worthy. Julius recognized Reid, so if he wanted to know how well he would do against him, he could simply consider if Reinhardt drew his sword against him. The author has already confirmed that Reinhardt is the strongest person in history and that he can defeat Reid, so he is a good reference. It was heartbreaking to see Julius' sword training flashback because he is the strongest knight in the kingdom (with the exception of Astrea Reinhardt of course), but he was beaten so badly that he resembled Gon after killing Pitou. What probably cooked Julius even more is that Reid saying he got nothing and has no purpose here is true on so many levels. Anastasia can’t use magic so her using that just probably revealed that the person he’s ride or die for ain’t even by here. Besides Subaru, nobody remembers him, he has no family as he doesn’t even remember he has little brother thanks to gluttony, his contracts which makes up a good chunk of his skills forgot him, he practically has no hands against Reid making him useless in the tower, and since he’s been forgotten he’s probably broke and homeless. All he has on him is the fit he lost to gluttony in. He got it rough. Also, whenever you see those chopsticks and hear Shula use those English words just know that those things are foreign to this world and come from “our world”, which shows how multiple people like AL and Subaru have come to this world.

Mrlanie

julius roasting subaru while being carried by him after getting his ass beat 💀 truly, they are besties

Tbdovan

Another anime where mongrels try to imitate the King of Heroes lord Gilgamesh

Isaac

The way y'all use the wrong terminology. Reid is not a descendant , he's an ancestor. Ancestors come first, descendants come after. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Also something of note, correct me if I'm wrong. Those other sword guys they mentioned, we'll probably never see in this timeline. They only show up in other what if scenarios where Subaru makes different choices ( and is a villain ) where they do come into the plot in some way. All I can remember was the furry wolf guy being in Subaru's crew, devoted to him.

Goomba

Julius was so broken, he really needed help downstairs lmao </3

JustThatOtherDude

Guy be like: YO YOU MADE ME MAKE A PASS ON A GODDAMN KID??

ERRORCODE616

Remember, Julius is nerfed right now. He's a spirit knight without access to the power granted to him by his contracted spirits (because they don't remember who he is). So he's just working off raw swordsmanship at the moment. But even at that, in the Royal Guard, he is second only to Reinhard. And Reid was the strongest of HIS time. He didn't even have all the crazy blessings Reinhard has, just raw strength and talent. It's a tough match.

Isotope

Her saying bro got pencil sketched is hilarious

fili0938

Reinhard no diffs Julius even without Divine Protections.

fili0938

Source? Satella rivals Reinhard for #1 and Reid and Volcanica are neck and neck for 3rd place. But yeah that's an unfair match.

fili0938

Yeah Julius is like the 3rd strongest knight in the kingdom.

fili0938

He's like top 3 among just knights in the kingdom

jaahman

Reinhard still wins even without his divine protections

Useless

He said Reid just using his bare hands was the strongest in the world at that time and he later learned how to use a sword making him stronger. Volcanica would've been in the world at the time so I'm led to believe Reid > Volcanica right now. I also think he said at one point Reid has more combat power than Satella it's just he can't get through her immortality.

Krype

Man S1 Subaru was so hard to watch he’s grown so much 😭

Narcissistic Humility

Exactly this, Anastasia did not knight Julius out of pity or anything like that. Julius is strong, but Reid and Reinhard are built different.

bobo

where is dr stone

sip

two of them do, one of them hasn't yet

Isaac

I guess since rezero isnt done yet in the novel they would eventually show up in the main canon timeline. Its been maybe 2 years when I watched the video telling the IF plots.

Fizzy 🐉

Facts julius is a issue

Fizzy 🐉

Love their relationship they came a long way

Fizzy 🐉

Do not get it twisted julius is a freaking problem a beast of a knight he definitely a cut above the rest and since he got his name stolen it means he can’t access his spirits aswell so he was nerfed it just that Reid and Reinhard are cheat codes

Fizzy 🐉

Erm yes and no I seen way worse why would Subaru just be prefect from the get go I love that he was extremely flawed in the first season cause that realistic this ain’t sword arts online

Damaton

Satella doesn't even rival Reinhard for #1, its just that Satella is immortal.

David J Forde Jr

He got it mixed up. Tappei was talking about swordsmanship. In fact Reid is strong enough to even have a chance to kill Reinhard. But satella has always been described as less of a fight and more a walking cheat code

Fizzy 🐉

Sheera just be saying shit at times one the guy didn’t just let Reinhard win Reinhard is just OP that common knowledge and 2 you don’t become a knight and guardian over princess through connections alone Julius is a fucking issue he strong asf and has mastery over spirits that insane

Fizzy 🐉

Reid is better physically than Reinhard but he just got hella bullshjt hax

Kris Barnes

I think it’s more showing that Julius was praised by his master as being good, but then Reinhard, who is the same age, came along and just completely blew past Julius. Julius saw that there’s levels to this shit and Reinhard is on a totally different one. That probably made him insecure about his own abilities

Anarchy

Lowkey kinda just like Jjk. Julius is the best knight in the kingdom (aside from Reinhard Astrea of course)

Fuji

man subaru has come such a long way from season one i forgot how bad he was back then lol, what a journey so far

Fuji

also i really wanna see the other 3 problems of each kingdom because uhh reinhard is absolutely busted with all of his blessings i really cant see how the other 3 would match that, hope we get to explore that soon

RedSunCrusher!!!

Yeah sheera completely misunderstood that flashback with Julius lol.

Imari

Sabaru has become a character I like which is why I like when shows makes characters unlikable at first cause they can change for the better that’s writing

Cancel

It's a bit harder to communicate in the anime, but the bit at the end where Reid pencil sketches Julius is the first time he actually takes a proper sword stance. So basically up until now he's just been fucking around, but when he actually chooses to attack in a manner befitting a sword, the atmosphere literally warps and shudders around him due to the intensity of his power/skill, much like how when Reinhard actually drew the Dragon Sword in season 3. Another fun tidbit is that Reid is left-handed, and the entire time this episode he's only been using his right hand for the chopsticks.

KingMarkoIII

Woah sheera took that the whole wrong way. He just has insecurity against Reinhardt due to him basically being born great and he had to work extremely hard to get where he’s at. He didn’t get help. He is strong 😂. That was a tiny ass reinhart beating his teacher easily when they were children. It’s just a root of insecurity. At least that’s how I saw it.

KingMarkoIII

But… he is a sword saint. He’s no joke whatsoever. And he’s like severely nerfed. The saint part of his title and being was erased 😂. He can’t use his powers

Orion C

Reinhard is this generations Sword Saint

_monjiro

The scene with Subaru and Julius reminds me of how Naruto and Sasuke used to bicker. Also why is Crunchyroll hellbent on changing the way bros name is romanized over the seasons. IIRC prior to this season it was Julius Euculius, which personally I think is a good way of localizing it, but before then it was spelled different, now its Julius Juukulius. ユリウス•ユークリウス (Yu-Ri-U-Su) • (Yu-Ku-Ri-U-Su) (direct romanization would be Yulius Yukulius) I'm fine with one or the other just pick one, it annoys the hell outta me that they can't get things right.

Jalen Holmes

I think julius was jealous and felt the huge difference bewtween him and reinhart when they were younger. I dont think it was the teacher letting him lose on purpose, also julius in hella nerfed rn aint he? lmao i remember them saying his spirits don't know him and are just sticking with bro but he cant use them

choco

Yall should watch noragami

Daniel Borrego

the problem with reid is that he basically has all the same bs powers that rienhart has. thats what the sword saints get. so theres no way to win against him. the best they could do is what emilia does. obviously the way to win is to use some kind of trick. if subaru IS flugel, then the test is set up so that theres a way for him and the rest to pass it(or at least him and those who would be useful later on). and if flugel is subaru that means hes already experienced all this and knows what subaru will do to pass the tests. i watched an interesting video on youtube where the poster pointed out that when subaru teleports to this world in the first episode that you hear the return by death sound. meaning its possible that instead of being the beginning of the loop, its actually subaru returning to the past later on in the loop with return by death, and that his memories were erased(its also possible that its just a dramatic moment and thats all just looking into things too much.)

L.Falo

Emelia said "we're in a fight sir, you think I care if you touch my boob" 🤣🤣🤣 also this season I'm seeing just how nasty Emilia is with her ice powers last time she was throwing hands with a Sin archbishop

Adam Lawson

It’s kinda hilarious that Reid is basically nerfing himself. Both his eyes work perfectly fine and he just wears the eyepatch as a fashion choice

Boss Man

Sheera misinterpreted the flashback scene, it's not to show that Julius is weak or undeserving to be a knight, Julius is actually SKILLED that his mentor praised him for his skill. Reinhard is just too OP that he actually beat his mentor at that age.

Saiki

I mean, at that point in time we're not sure if the sword saint blessing existed. Since Reid was the first sword saint, it might be that he was such a big problem that god said "Dude, Imma make a blessing on your name and give it to your children."

Daniel Borrego

that he was able to easily bully Shaula probably means hes as tough as rienhart. he said he had only been using a sword for 3 weeks which would imply he has some kind of bs blessing of being awesome with the sword. thats how whats his faces wife died wasnt it? rienhart was born and she lost her bs sword saint powers and got killed.

Daniel Borrego

thats about as ludicrous as an mma fighter trying to prove his strength by fighting an abrams tank.

Bighusky

Roshi had me double taking every time he said descendant

thatNEET_

7:14 "Ice Brand Arts" is actually a Fate reference–Subaru came up with it–so yeah, she is unknowingly copying Gilgamesh

thatNEET_

Emilia used her wits? Nah, she used her tits.

thatNEET_

Julius isn't gonna be eating solid food for a while

AcolorfulZebra

True, but we are where we are. Imagine if everyone but him managed to get past Reid. Only Subaru remembers him and all the others see is the white cloak. If he can't get past Reid how is he supposed to justify him even being there, seeing as how no on remembers him. I get it though, the obstacle before them is not even just a great sword fighter, but the first sword saint. I'd be hesitant to say one isn't a good fighter or a knight just because they can't beat Reinhardt's great, great, great, great, grand daddy. That's probably one of the reasons he can't back down. To prove to himself that its possible to one day reach Reinhardt with his sword.

muchojefe

why does roshi keep saying descendant 🫩

Nikabee

Bro really threw the fight just to fondle some titties, I'm dead 💀

fili0938

Technically also aside from Captain Marcos. He's basically not had any screentime in the anime yet though

fili0938

Ridiculous statement after arc 9 @damaton
