Could you please um 😳🙏🏻🙏🏻😓😓🙏🏻🙏🏻 upload the next 20 episodes of the show please 😓😓🙏🏻🙏🏻🤧🤧

YaBoyRoshi

I consider this emotional abuse lol

SlyMorris

God I remember when I first asked y’all to react to this and you said it would be soon and I’m loving every bit of this!!!! Thanks again to y’all ❤️

Bona Fide

Yess! Finally. Time to watch.

Robert

Boyyy the moment I knew Subaru was my most hated main character

Alex

Lol, Subaru has always been in love with Emilia from the jump and he's just being honest with Rem, something she already knew too. Sad people don't understand his character at all and just be annoying. Why would he lie and say he loves her in that same way when he doesn't? That's even more cruel.

Anonymous

one of the most beautiful love confessions in anime history and Subaru rejects it, I must admit that I hated Subaru for this. Rem is pure light.

Austin Yun

Aw shit can't wait to listen to this on my drive home. Anyway everybody pissed off at Subaru for staying loyal to Emilia is tripping, don't @ me. Yeah Rem is also waifu material and is really nice to him but that's not how love or emotions work.

Anonymous

team Rem forever right here

tacoloco

team emilia full the way

Dantene

People do be forgetting that Subaru was down to leave with Rem (even if it was coming from a rough place), but she rejected him first (thankfully). She knows it, he knows it, but people just seem to overlook the scene where they both come to terms with it.

Yolo Samurai

Now you guys know why everyone says Rem is BEST girl! Its just the truth 😌

godUsoland

The moment all Rem fans screamed "fuck Subaru". Just for a moment. From the bottom of our hearts. It's understandable, but that friendzone hurt.

Vasja

ahh the infamous "I love Emilia" episode. I think there is a misunderstanding, Subaru always loved Emilia, Rem was always second choice. When he proclaimed that he wants to run away with Rem, she understood that he still prefers Emilia but is willing to settle for Rem, and she doesn't like that reasoning, so she rejects his proposal and guides him back to trying his best, which means striving for Emilia

Yall Might

Welcome to the Rem train y'all, Subaru a mf for that.

Egg Plant

while this is true and it wouldn't actually make sense for him to end up with rem, i still kinda wish he did. just for rems sake.

Clarista

"If I run away with you now, I know I would be leaving behind the Subaru that I love most". The Subaru that asked her to run away was just a broken, hollow shell of his former self. The Subaru that said "I love Emilia" is the Subaru that she loves the most (unfortunately for her lol). She's just happy she could help get him back to his "normal" self. That's why she didn't flip when she heard him say that infamous line. Doesn't matter who he loves, as long as he's happy, Rem's happy. Now you really see why people love Rem so much 👍

HeMustBeKawaii

Everyone who honestly thinks Subaru should have picked Rem, well, damn I feel bad for you. Like someone else said, she’s a great character and person, but Subaru would just come off as wishy washy, and indecisive if he picked her. He wouldn’t be staying true to his emotions or himself, Rem knew this, hence why she was so wholeheartedly okay with it. Once again, if you don’t understand Subaru, or Rem, you won’t understand, that it would of been selfish of him to go with her. She herself knew, it would not be the better choice if he went with her, because he would be running away. All y’all care about are your dumbass waifu wars and shit, once again not understanding the story or characters, honestly makes me sad.

Lane Boyd

I love this episode because it shows how human of a character Subaru actually is. When people have their heart set on someone, they’re blinded by it, regardless of what’s right in front of them. I don’t understand why Subaru loves Emilia so much to reject Rem like he does, but I don’t have to because that’s how feelings work. We don’t understand them, they just happen.

Danny

to be fair to subaru, he stayed loyal til the end. not once has he ever said he loved rem over emilia. the rant with him asking for her to run away with him was out of desperation and panic more than anything. if they did run away like that, theres a good chance subaru would kill himself or break from guilt sooner or later down the road for not saving emilia and the others. but yeah he really shoulda picked rem when shes done so much for him

Justin_IVIX

Rem is best girl, just not best girl for Subaru.

Alex

I completely agree. If Subaru did everything that people wanted him to, including making "obvious" or "right" choices, then he would be a trash character but he's not. He is one of my faves and one of the most realistic and human.

Jordan

Not gonna lie, I hate Subaru and not care about Emilia because he rejected Rem 😂

Colin

LOL Bruh you think I'm gonna try and defend this shit? No chance in hell, Rem is best girl and Subaru's a cuck

Justin_IVIX

Even if he didn't suffer from the guilt... Imagine he did run away with Rem, and everything she said came to pass. Decades later, after living a full life, loving Rem, having kids and a family, seeing Rem die peacefully, and then finally getting weak and closing his own eyes for the last time... "HEY KID BUY THIS APPA!"

Royal Lucario

honestly this was the episode that made me hate subaru lol

SolitaryLark

Y’all in the Rem camp I see. Lol it is sorta annoying but I just accept it and it makes sense to me after I’ve thought about it.

Alex cleveland

Fun Fact: The author made an alternative storyline with Subaru and Rem. The author actually made the story happen where Subaru and Rem did leave Kingdom of Lugnica and lived a happy life. They legit got married and had KIDS bruh... Crazy right! But the thing is that its an alternative story, so of course its not apart of the true story of Re:Zero; its like an OVA manga/LN wise. And me in imo am guessing since this was created by the author and its not actually real, Subaru WON'T end up with Rem, but probably Emilia. Sorry, Rem lovers, but thats the only real way that it would make sense for the story of this show. BTW im not a LN reader, I just kno from my friends who read the LN for Re:Zero.

Daryll

I always believed the reason Subaru has a nonsensical extreme hard on for Emilia is because she looks like the witch and it had to do with his witch stink cause Emilia is trash.

Ruben

I'd also like to say that Suburu does have feelings for Rem but she's not the one who needs saving right now. Emilia was always the one he fell in love with and his entire reason for pushing himself so hard. And right now he needs to continue with that resolve so he can save her and the world. Like Rem said they're starting back from Zero.

Shaw

I'm still in shock u thought Puck was Satella. lol

Tej

Subaru loved Emilia even when he asked Rem to run away with him. Why do you think he looked so anguished the entire time

A Deadly Dingus

lmaooo shira mind fuckin yall at the end was great

Vincent Lee

its just like a guy to become obssessed with the first girl that talks to him that he cant think of anything else

HowardisBoss

Lupa is so mad at Subaru. Lol I can't stand what he did there either but we all knew it was coming.

Shaw

I'm Team Emilia all the way. rem can stay a side ho

tacoloco

the running away thing had nothing to do with him liking rem more it had to do with he felt hopeless and gave up so he wanted to run away and rem was there so he wanted to take her. he never once told rem he loved or liked her. also how is it more valid for him to be with rem when shes known subaru for 6 days vs him knowing emilia for 3 weeks?

Tay

because in that short amount of time hes been through multiple life or death situations with rem and she has protected him every time. its not about how long youve known someone but more so how much the experiences with that person effect you.

Xeno Warrior

I dont think this is a spoiler but just in case, spoiler warning for those who haven't finished season 1......... Subaru actually does love Rem the same way he loves Emilia, he just doesn't realize it until the fight with the whale. He says Emilia and Rem are number 1 and 2 in his heart but he cant put one above the other (this is said in the web novel for arc 4 btw and I'm pretty sure he actually confesses his love for Rem in the novel after the whale fight)

Ricky Faber

The joke about rem writing a whole other anime for their future, there actually is a side manga that does tell the story of an alternative universe where they do run away together.

Shaw

Subaru is LOYAL

Robert

Don’t worry Rem, I love you toooo

Shaw

This episode divided the fanbase for all eternity.

Jev Cor

Lmao, Lupa stays mad at that roof. People have dropped the show because of this episode, least they went to the next one. lol

User100

Cancel Subaru. Throw the whole guy away 🤦🏾‍♀️

Big Daddy Dre

Am i the only one who hates how rem personality changed after the forest shit...like i understand she in love but she’s like blindly devoted to this nigga...i just wish she would do more than just follow him around and say shit like my reason for living is to help Subaru...Subaru could tell her to eat pig shit and she’ll probably do

SlyMorris

#TEAMREM god damn subaru really the worst character evcer

TheToweringOtakunt

Subaru: *writes it all down...* Paper: *nukes whole city* Music: AIIIIEEEEEUHEEEEEEEE!!! "Subaru-kun?"

Danny

well actually remember she rejected his proposal to run away with him? so theres that. i think she would do everything but not completely blind. like if subaru asked her to kill ram, she wouldnt do it.

losthope

There’s a good reason on why he loves Emilia but I won’t say anything 😂 still though team rem all the way can wait to see the rest of the reactions

Devin B

Lol Lupa I take offense to the lightskin comment. We do not claim Subaru for doing that to Rem. I know he's in love with Emilia and him rejecting Rem was justifiable based on how he felt but damn that was still rough to watch.

Devin B

I mean he looked that way cause running away was the only thing he could think of after dying multiple times with no foreseeable solution.

TheToweringOtakunt

Now you have learned the true meaning of the stress we were warning you of. I'm pretty sure this stands as the undisputed champion in the Galactic Cursed Anime Episodes Competition.

Anonymous

I love your reactions. I really do. But this one wasn't it.

ShiftyySage

This is one of my favorite episodes in all of anime. Its a major turning point for Subaru as a character, as well as for the show as a whole. Also I don't think what Subaru did was trash at all. He's been in love with Emilia since ep 1, but rejection hurts nonetheless.

Anonymous

This. THIS was the episode i was waiting for.

bernard Paul

why do we have this notion that you can't love 2 ppl. and if yall think subaru doesnt love rem too then yall nuts

Anonymous

This episode in a nutshell: "Let's run away, I love you" "No" "Why?" "Cuz I love you (here, let me tell you a nice fanfic btw)" "But I'm trash and depressed, how can you love me?" "Cuz you're pretty and you saved my ass" "You're right, I'm not depressed anymore" "That's cool" "Btw, I don't love you, can you help me slide in your friend's DMs?" "Sure"

godUsoland

The last line of the episode, is also the name of the series :) "My life in another world starts here, from Zero." Re:Zero -Starting life over in another world -

Bob The SkuII

Not gonna lie this was tied as the episode I most wanted to see yall react to. Fuck boi Subaru! Edit: and to be clear. I'm cool with him loving Emilia, i still like her design the best and understand why he likes her, but gid damn it we didn't just have a 16minute pep talk of love that was friend zoned

godUsoland

Fun Facts: #1 Nagatsuki Tappei(the author) works as a Butcher. He would think about plot development while dealing with the meat. Sometimes he will cut meat and yelling Subaru's name at the same time. #2 - When being asked why did he torture Subaru so much, he said because it's fun, but then explained that the protagonist grow stronger from adversity, this kind of character is the best. So to keep the protagonist constantly develops, he put so much torture in the story. He likes the protagonist and hopes that he can do better. But he thinks currently he still treats Subaru kindly, maybe he will make the situation more difficult in the future. #3 - His favorite character is "EMT! EMT! EMT!" "Emilia-tan is Seriously an Angel"

Daniel Robb

Can we all just realize Subaru has died at least 10 times already FOR Emilia? Like, why don't we understand her significance to him? Each time Emilia dies, he gets more attached to her. Hell, Emilia was even catching feels for Subaru before he went to the capital. It's always been Emilia and always will be for Subaru. And I don't blame him for that.

Jigga Man

...man this nigga Subaru is in love with a chick that WANTS to stay aloof to his feelings 🤦🏾‍♂️ but then again, of I died for a bitch 10 times already I may as well die a bit more to get the snatch 🤷🏿‍♂️

Gabriel Barott

I don't like focusing on the love triangle going on, because i really don't see it that way. I see it as Rem loves Subaru for who he is, and is a really dear friend to him, one whom he loves and cherishes also. Even though Rem loves Subaru in a relationship way, she also understands and is content with the fact that he does not feel that way about her. People who focus on Rem vs Emilia as who is the best girl for Subaru, are missing the point of the anime and it's amazing characters. This anime shows what true friendship looks like, and it goes over so many peoples heads.

KS Neelesh

Man Subaru can jump of that fucking roof.

Viela Guay

As I always say on this episode, medieval culture is one quite accepting of a concubine position. Just saying, the true best ending is subaru with both (although I still obviously think Rem is best grill)

Thamor

Main point to understand Rem KNOWS Subaru loves Emilia and wanted that Subaru that doesn't give up stay. I think even worse move would have been for him to try accept Rem here if he really still loves Emilia. Another thing is season 1 really doesn't give Emilia time enough compared to all the shit show Rem goes through with Subaru =)

Anonymous

Its funny how people forget Rem literally killed him in the beginning of the series.

Anonymous

My biggest problem with this episode isn't even that Rem got claped by Subaru's friendship. It's how they deal with him being clearly in a state of depression and Rem just snapping him out of it by telling him how handsome she thinks he is. This was a big chance for some character growth since he's been acting like a dumbass in a very uncharacteristic way as soon as he stepped back into this city.

Thamor

And he stays truthful about it, Subaru's personality has always been pretty much open book. So it would actually be weird if Rem would have accepted this running away Subaru, as she can't understand what Subaru has gone through, because he can't tell anyone.

Anonymous

Actually about Subaru confess to Rem, it was a joke that Rem came up with, to see Subaru reaction and, obviously, she wants to hear that aswell.

James Yoder

Being singles hits different when you're in a relationship. (you read that right)

Oui Oui

Y'all and a lot of people don't understand why Emilia is important to Subaru. Y'all really called him a fuck boi and simp because he's being loyal to one girl? Y'all just took a major L

JsnSkg

Oof, that overused word again. People just deciding to use it whenever a character is in love. "Oh, they have strong feelings for someone, THEY'RE A SIMP." Smh.

JsnSkg

Now you know why many people have been saying Rem is best girl for a while now. XD

Senjioh

I guess the whole daughter thing is explain in the movie from what I am told. And yeah Subaru is dumb this episode I wish I could back hand this man. This episode caused genuine pain -_-

Austin Yun

LMAO subaru is 100 percent a piece of trash for proposing that he run away with Rem but when she gave him the motivational speech and he got his shit together and told her straight up that he still wanted to be with Emelia instead? Way way way better than the alternative of knowingly choosing second place. No way he could actually live with himself if he did that. You all have to hold that L big time. The fattest of Ls. PS: happily married 3 years so nobody @ me talking about being a simp. You God damned right I simp on my wife.

DevilMayCarter

It's nice to finally see Peter Park...I mean Subaru turn some kind of corner. His "commitment" to Emilia actually grounds his character. He's been all over the place the last few eps, IMO no matter what happens to a main character, there should be something that stabilizes him/her; saving the world, being a hero, going home, ect...

JsnSkg

But yeah, Subaru has been through so much shit, he forgot who he was (not literally, but in a deeper sense). Lied to himself essentially about running away, kind of an impulse thought, just sick and tired of everything. Rem, being IN LOVE with him (and not simping btw), knows him well. She knows that's not what he really wants, and knows who he truly loves, and knows what kind of person he really is and can be when he gives his all and is in a better mental state. Honestly it was kind of a good therapy session. She listened to him, he vented his whole heart out, and she countered his negativity with positivity.

JsnSkg

Also, fun fact, did you know that the voice actor for Subaru also voiced Senku in Dr. Stone? He also voices Arthur in Fire Force. Dude has done LOTS of roles over the years.

David

when i first saw this i was genuinely surprised he did that, but i legit like it. he stayed loyal to her and TBH Elves are cooler then all other fantasy races so there is that

Asante Upshur-Benson

Lupa snapping at the very end had me dying despite knowing what was gonna happen 😂 That said I get why Subaru did what he did even tho he went about it in a trash way

Zonbi

I can see this episode went over your head so lemme explain. She snapped him out of his downward spiral by telling him that even though he feels insignificant and worthless, he was actually someone's hero without even knowing it. Basically letting him know that he has worth that he can't see purely through introspection. So there was character growth, but it was just a little beyond your experience maybe? It's important not to wallow in self-despair and self-loathing because you're actually more important that you think!

JsnSkg

Is it that one thing they showed in S2? When he ended up at the place.... with the.... decorations of certain taste? (That's the best way I can phrase it without spoiling)

JsnSkg

Ngl, it's kinda pathetic to drop a show cuz of something like that. Petty af.

Tyler

I guess they're going to drop it with this upcoming one? I'm not on Discord I don't know if they've talked about dropping Fireforce but I guess if they haven't dropped it by now it's not coming

sincity

well why wouldnt she? he smelled like the witch. he was acting sus, like a cultist. she hates the witch cultist for killing her family. It was justified.

Creed

imagine staying loyal to someone who doesnt even like u like that

ThiefH

I mean there is this thing called harem that involves one guy having several girls that love him and he loves them, at this point in time subaru has officially started his harem emilia was the first and he added rem this episode, he did not friendzone her he just stated that emilia is still number one for him but he also loves rem, dont pay too much mind to it because relationships will be the least of your concerns in this anime, to me this is the best episode in the series where subaru just lets out all the darkness he has about himself and rem helps dispel it and pick him up, subaru from here on out is a proper main character

Gill

I actually started to like Subaru from here lol

Bona Fide

Some of y’all are a little too passionate and get carried away, leaving your manners at the door.

matthew perry

Meh it could've been handled better but this seemed like a breakdown due to trauma. He obviously wasnt in his right mind which is why he was rejected by her too, her confessing her feelings doesn't automatically mean she gets the relationship, and I don't think that's what she wanted him to do anyways. Like yeah he shouldn't have opened up with LETS LEAVE TOGETHER FOREVER, but the sense to run away from it all directly after dying seems like a perfectly reasonable response to me.

matthew perry

Fun reaction though. Never realized those birds were around for so long till y'all said something lol.

L.C.

LMAO I was waiting for Sheera to get her props lol. I was waiting for it! This is the big episode where the Rem shippers got shut down and people really hated on subaru. So many people hate this episode lol

Rene

People tend to forget the Emilia is the first one Subaru sees in the world, he wants be with a girl who is strong willed, and actually has a goal in life, on the other hand, Rem killed Subaru on their first encounter. After Rem's arc she decided to put Subaru over everyone else, her goal in life is to be with Subaru and nothing else( much like the clingy type). And all of ya'll are complaining when Subaru is about to take the path of sin(sloth) when he said that he wants to run away with Rem, falling in his deep, dark mental state Subaru almost decided to just let it all go. Rem, after confessing and consoling him made him change his mind, it made Subaru take the path of virtue(diligence) which of ya'll still didnt know that every event that Subaru is left to decide with himself only are called the "Witch's trials". I suggest that you guys watch the 2 OVA's Rezero released, as it tackles more on Emilia's past and her relationship with Subaru since ya'll keep depressin on why Subaru rejected Rem just watch this so you could understand the true plot of the story.

MrNoor114

bro after watching this episode you guys need to watch Re:zero in 8 mins after finishing the series. You guys will be laughing your assess off.

Kyle Llewellyn

I will never like the Emilia ship, it has felt superficial from the start and forced. Yes yes, I know. He is human and blah blah blah. He and Rem fit together and she loves him unconditionally in a way that Emilia just does not. He knows this but yet he keeps a shallow attachment to Emilia because she was the first person who really interacted with him at the start

Slimthe1

I like Subaru, but what he did to Rem was messed up. Not too many guys are lucky enough to have a girl like that in their lives.

Gabe

This has been the funniest reaction ever LOL

yazan

who tf is cutting onions ? this episode is soo emotional 😭

Anonymous

Subaru is the reason why Rem acts this way. If not for Subaru's influence Rem would of still been cold like she was in the beginning of the series.

Yall need to watch assassination classroom. on me you wont be disappointed

jesse almonte

Obligatory Rem simp time: How do people prefer Emilia over the wifey Rem?

Tev Overhaul

Bravo Bravo ! Great post! When they get to season 2 they will have a better understanding on Subaru his powers which will get exploded along with more Mystery! I love Emilia character more after watching Frozen Bonds

tacoloco

Bc rem in the grand scheme is irrelevant shes subaru sidekick and lapdog

GeneralDisarray

What the fuck you think hes in? Hes died tens of times, ea time watching people he cares about kill him or be killed right in front of him and then people wanna shit talk him for being depressed... Take that feeling of yours, and multiply it by like 100 and see where that gets you.

None None

Hot take: Rem and Emilia are both too submissive and tolerate too much of Subaru's bullshit. Imagine if Ram had come to the capitol instead of Rem. If he tried to head to the ceremony while she was watching him, she'd have very clearly spelt out why it was a retarded idea and he wouldn't have made an ass of himself. Dude needs more Ram.

Pucki

whole episode about that dude crying

Jev Cor

That dude crying for this entire episode was more interesting than the entirety of the promise neverland.

Im glad you had the same reaction I had, only fuckboys are going to defend this shit lol

Anonymous

"see that, thats active listening" lmao bruh

therightscript

Holy hell the comment sections to this episode are always cancer. It's like a competition for who can have the dumbest take.

Vincent S Deluca

I see where you guys are coming from but’s it’s because he was talking about going away and giving up on Emilia that rem Brought all that up. She loves and has fantasized about a future with him but also knows that he loves Emilia, and him choosing rem would pretty much be him giving up, which in her mind he can’t do, that’s not who the Subaru she loves is. So she builds him up and lets him know hes loved even though she KNOWS he will choose Emilia, if he gave up and chose her that ain’t the guy she fell in love with. She wasn’t brining it up so they could run away together it was as a wake up call to him

TyyT

LMAOOOO This reaction was everything I thought it would be! Its always gonna be Rem >>> But at the end of the day people love who they love. Gawd this was hilarious 🤣 Cant wait for the rest of these!

VanillaCoke1956 .

People really out there saying Subaru is a dumb idiot for rejecting her when these things happen irl all the time. Just because somebody loves you and does everything you want doesn't mean you owe them your love too. I imagine this reaction would've been different if some guy was constantly following around a girl and confessing his feelings out of the fucking blue and got rejected. People would be all over the guy being a "simp" and a "creep" probably.

Jake Disarufino

Rem is best girl I understand people love who they do but at a certain point that shit is misplaced idk I get suburu but also not at all really we will have to see how the show ends haha

Dune

Regardless of what you think of this episode I think we can all agree that subaru did rem dirty this episode. Asking rem to run away with him knowing his heart was completely with emilia is just pure trash. I know this is the first time rem has felt this way about someone but it's hard to see her just accept it after the complete rejection of her feelings.

Dune

Also the voice actor for subaru really put in that work this episode.

Jason Serrano

This was a GREAT REACTION! 😂😂

Hoodlum JoeBro

It’s why I just avoid the Re Zero fandom in general. It’ll end up giving me a tumour lol

Oax Al

Lupa, with the "I've been her!!!"🤣 Rem = best girl, but damn is she a cuckqueen. Lowkey like that though.🤣 Man after season 1 is done, you guys should definitely watch Gigguk's Re Zero in minutes, masterpiece.

Jake Thompson

She also killed him a couple times and it's her fault he fucked up the entire selection and everything bad after that but whatever.

Sentinel Kab

Ultimately this is the correct viewpoint. He really cared about Rem so he was honest to her about his feelings for Emilia out of respect for Rem pouring her heart out. Lying to her in that situation that his feelings were mutual would have been a figurative slap in the face.

VlSch

"You probably will be defending him, but we won't listen" - Nice one, you prefer to not using logic but your emotions, and you can't consider another opinion even if you're wrong. "I've been her!" - so lupa admitted that he is the simp It's me or reactors with growing popularity become annoying ?

TyBreezy

Rem is BEST GIRL!!!! Fuck Emilia!!!!

Jake Thompson

The Rem you love is in love with a Subaru who loves Emilia. Get cucked, weebs.

Jev Cor

Actual best girl list for you dumbasses. S2 Spoiler > S3 Spoiler > Emilia > Ram >Petra >Roswaal > Rem.

Champion Bescos

Agreed. The seriousness of the trauma and the overwhelming emotions is not their vibe and they dealt with it rather childishly because, well, they just weren’t that into it. Which I get, and I still love them, but it’s a shame.

Donovan Doyle

People in the comments actually bent outta shape over anime girls SMH

Lupa is Dadi

Lmao you really replying to every comment about rem, no life 😂, that shit funny as hell 🤣

thatoneguy87

i actually thought lupas comments where hilarious that is why i payed for sub, love peoples REACTIONS, that is their opinions, a difference in views is a breath of fresh air to me reminds me that we are all different. for you to be emotionally invested in a fictitious character is normal also, because this is a emotional show that is made so we connect to the characters just try not to throw shade because someone do not share your strong emotional devotion to something

Max Murillo

I feel Subaru is meant to be unlikeable. He's a criticism of the people that consume Isekai stories, which is why his attitude is usually the underlying reason for his suffering. He's self-absorbed. The fun in the show is seeing him try to make something worthy out of himself, after accepting that he is honestly kinda trash.

Tirth Patel

Yea that's the point basically. I think the author made him controversial, let's say that, so that people can have different viewpoints. But I'm told he does get better and I've always liked him as a protagonist and watching season 2 especially the "parent and child" episode, I've grown to like him even more.

Shaw

OOF! 224 comments so far. This is gold.

subaruuu is trashhhhhh

Arsean Wilbon

Lmao trashhh I forgot about this ep. I hope he gets folded again 🤣

Senpai

I get that Subaru is in love with Emilia, but goddamn there are so MANY better ways to tell Rem that. ESPECIALLY after that speech. I mean it's not a bad thing to be blunt in these kind of situations, but I feel like you can be blunt *without* the subtly of a brick to the face.

Omg lol yall had me rolling! This infamous episode and episode 15 is what I wait for reaction channels to get to. Lupa you made me recount my reaction when i first saw this episode LOL. Yall be safe and keep that content rollin'

Dbhe

I feel like people who comment and focus on the Rem Subaru and Emilia love triangle portion of the episode are missing the point. Even the "I love emilia comment". Rem knew from the very beginning that Subaru loves Emilia. That's why she denied him. If you thought Subaru would say "I love you Rem", etc, then you missed out on why Subaru running away with Rem is a bad thing. He's betraying who he truly is by doing something like that. And Rem knew that. Personally, I love this episode. It's one of the best and most interesting takes on romance I've seen in anime, and also a huge turning point for his character. Growth doesn't come easy and in Re:Zero it's earned.

Baren Nerab

"Thats rough buddy" haha

Adelsic

Don't get your hopes up when you confess to someone

haywood banks

Most of the Fandom is team Rem even the team Emilia people are team Rem but they care about the tropes

Lupa is Dadi

When subaru asked rem to "run away together" he wasn't all that right in the head, he was mentally broken. Rem noticed this change In his mental state and declined because that wasn't the subaru she fell in love with. She decided to repair this man's heart and emotional state instead of running away with a half broken subaru. When subaru snapped out of it because of rem he knew where his heart was and decided to stay true to the one he loves(Emilia) by declining rems love. Yeah he's an ass but at least he was honest with her and didn't give her any bs answer. He's not a f*ck boy he's the opposite.

War2244

Could be worse, in the light novel he tries to get both of them lmao.

yasmina C

Ranginald Vagel

No matter how many times I watch this I will never not want to throttle this motherfucker until he loads checkpoint by the end

Mr Rys

It makes total sense what he did... and she knew he would say that... like you love someone and then just because a chick says nice things to you you change your mind and choose the other one?

CRuEL_WOrlD

Cunt had a choice, chose a girl who literally sacrifice herself nd died pretty gruesome death 3 FKN TIMES, she loves him more than anyone in her world, was there for him in his lowest or chose a girl who doesn’t even like him in a romantic way, though he was 13 yr old boy. Dnt get me wrong i luv Emilia but i hate Subaru, lads a whole SIMP...🤦🏼‍♂️

Geomar

Lemme see someone trynna defend that bullshit. NAHHHHH FAMMMMMMM

yes......., first thing she is not just a random chick he already knows her second then if what your are saying is true then why should emilia choose him just because he says nice things to her? last but not least emilia doesn't even have romantic feelings for him whatsoever and even if she did it would be impossible to have a relationship with a candidate so go with a "chick" that you know that is sweet and actually likes you or try to chase the impossible while dying for nothing and wasting your life?

Honestly, I agree with everyone, seeing this episode always makes me rage in the end lmao but Subaru did what he thought was right, which is to reveal the truth and reject her. I think he'd have been a fuck boy if he actually lied and did try to get with both, which he actively did not want to do.

Basically, I respect Subaru's decision to stick to his waifu, I've long gotten over the point of decrying him for that, but damn Rem will always be best girl and deserves to be treated like a queen.

I might be late to the party. Bug everyone thats critizing Subaru needs to pull their head ot of their asses. He did the mature thing and told Rem who he loves. He did not lead her on. That doesnt mean he doesnt love Rem too. Dont look at the situation with selfish love, look at it the way Rem sees it with selfless love. The same way Subaru cant turn his feeling off for Emilia is the same way Rem cant turn them off for Subaru. Doing so would mean those feelings were shallow to begin with. Its why Rem chose to help Subaru still, cuz she loves him. If she refused then that would invalidate every thing she told him to be there for him to suport him. And again, poor Rem, what a joke, the episode was about Subaru geeting back on his feet from the pit of dispair. The fact that he produce a mature respone was a mirracle. I absolutelly love and adore Rem but she still needs more caracter development. At the moment she can only see Subaru. For anyone, that is not a good way to live. Dont make someone else your goal. Have your own goals and find someone who wants to be along side you, not just exist for you.

choibento

theory = satella curse subaru to mindlessly love half-elves --when subaru was doing 2nd trial and the witch of lust confronted him, she appeared like REM instead of emilia (this might point towards the fact that the feelings for rem are the real ones and the ones toward emilia are just from the curse)

D Reed

You’re right, you’re late to the party lol. The reaction was funny, people have seen others react to this episode tons of times and everytime they go off on the reactors for hating on Subaru. Just let them have their opinion ffs, I’m so tired of going into comments and everybody’s talking about “oh well Subaru did the mature thing and didn’t lead her o-“ blah blah blah. It’s so annoying when it’s the only topic of discussion. It’s like they pre -write their response before they even watch the episode because they know how it’s going to go.

Damian Minor

bro my face hurts from laughing ON GOD

Alex Campbell

There actually is a whole re zero story with them running away

Joe Kerr

most people in the fandom agree subaru fucked up, thats why season 1 the majority were in agreement that Rem is best girl, a lot of simps went for greed in s2 but im still loyal to my waifu Rem

DabnDab

I was so pissed when the writer in between seasons said he was going to kill of Rem because everyone shipped them and not emilia stale ass lolol

Wild

To be fair she did reject him only fair that he rejected her back lmfaoo

Damn I’m late, but uhh anyone tell me bout the whole remxsubaru light novel section?

Alex Omega

Subaru is a whole ass clown forever in my eye. That's why The Rising of the Shield Hero has a better anime hero than this show.

Yahroh

POLYGAMY SOLVES ALL

no thats not what it was, Subaru has extreme dependency on Rem that is why he saw her he needed a push from only person that would keep pushing him has nothing to do with love, has nothing to do with Satella

Wallet

No it doesn't it's disgusting and makes females look like they don't have a mind of their own and just accept it from their own lack of self worth which is what Rem has but not Emilia and Subaru don't give a sh*t about his life or people feelings at this time from how broken he is

TheDroppedFry

100% agreement. After spending some years raging about it, I finally sobered up and realized that Subaru is loyal. But yeah, Rem deserves the best. (Though I can understand other reasons why he wouldn't fall for her, I.e. her brutally murdering him multiple times)

Retroactive Gamer

lmao I love how she keeps saying "That's how guys are" Women are EXACTLY the same, and plenty of them have a bunch of potential dudes in the rotation before they pick one and even afterwards in case it falls apart they can just jump to another dude. Definitely not just dudes, just how a group of Men and Women are.

Joey Zero

Doesn’t Subaru saying “I love Emilia” make him the opposite of a fuck boi? He stayed loyal to the girl he loves to the very end. If he chose Rem, then he’d be lying to himself and to her and Rem knew it. That’s why she rejected him first.
