Oh ya this part of the story... hard to re-watch this part. Can't wait for more episodes 💓

These episodes are painful for sure. But I'm just impressed the author had the balls to showcase his main character's more unlikable traits in such a direct way without sugarcoating anything.. and trusted his readers/audience to stick around for the payoffs. After showing Subaru's more heroic and brave traits that make him easy to root for in the last few episodes, its definitely an interesting twist to flip the script with his more ugly traits that always were there: insecurity, a desperation to be understood, ignorance to others feelings, masculine bravado and entitlement. Then asking the question, would you still root for him? I think it makes Subaru a more interesting character.

Despite Subaru not dying once, this is still one of the most painful Re:Zero episodes… As for what Wilhelm said about Subaru’s eyes, I’m not sure if it’s a mistranslation, but it should probably be taken more as “someone who has seen death multiple times” as in, was exposed to someone else dying, or has been in near-death situations. Given Wilhelm’s age, and the “Sword Demon” nickname, I suppose he’s similar in that regard. Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but both Wilhelm and Reinhard share the last name ‘van Astrea’… This episode was pure ragebait. It’s also here where a lot of people drop the show. We already got to see the determined, selfless side of Subaru, but this time, we were shown his immature, stubborn, prideful side. He has a major hero complex. While a lot of his reasoning is valid (if something were to happen to Emilia in the castle, he should be there so he can learn the situation, and if need be, restart to save her), he gives zero fucks about other people, and most importantly, he completely ignores Emilia’s feelings. This was a big mask-off moment. But beyond Subaru’s character flaws, all the deaths and trauma he’s endured also influence his behavior. The entitled crash out at the end, while unwarranted and unfair towards Emilia, who isn’t aware of everything he’s been through, is completely understandable. His frustration is, in a way, a coping mechanism. All in all, you are absolutely valid in being pissed at Subaru. No fan would blame you for this. It is, after all, the beginning of his descent into his lowest point. All that remains is to keep watching and hoping Subaru will redeem himself.

Also, it feels silly to bring up such a minor, short scene, but the reason Subaru fell out of the carriage on their way to the capital is never properly explained in the anime, but in the novel they went into detail about it. So, in Re:Zero world, there are these special powers some people are born with, called Divine Protections. They will be discussed in the story later on, but basically all earth dragons are born with the Divine Protections of Wind Evasion, which allows them to bypass wind and air resistance, allowing them to travel at great speeds. This effect also extends to anyone riding the dragon, or any carriage it’s pulling. However, when Subaru was hanging out of the carriage, he stretched his arm too far out, causing the effect to stop and the sudden wind to yank him back. It is a very unimportant scene, but I felt it’s worth bringing up, since this Divine Protection becomes relevant again on a few other occasions.

Lol, I was going to explain that too, I'm glad you also talked about it.

As I said under Memory Snow, keep in mind the cloak with the ears that Emilia is wearing, it will be explained why she would be wearing it a bit later in the show. It makes sense for Emilia to be worried and anxious. Especially with what Puck said at the end of Memory Snow. She doesn't want Subaru involved in things, because like she said, she knows the moment she takes her eyes off of him, he goes and does something crazy, because that's true. Emilia here also says that Puck controls fire, but that's also another mistranslation. Truth is that Puck doesn't control fire or ice. Puck controls temperature. A lot was cut here and Puck was supposed to show off a bit of his power. More on that later. What I said in the comment under Memory Snow about Subaru acting immature really shows these two episodes. He instantly got jealous of Julius kissing Emilia's hand as a formality. Same happens as soon as he sees Emilia with Al, and even Al notices it and says "Looks like your buddy's got screw loose, little lady. He's more worried about losing you to another man than happy to see you". Even after that when Emilia asks him how he met her, he instantly jumps to thinking that she's jealous but we all knew, even without knowing how important or who she even is, that it's not what Emilia meant. The worst part is here how he wants to be included everything that has to do with Emilia, to the point where he can't even trust Emilia to handle her own business. Sure, we know that there could be people that might want to hurt her, but he's too clingy. I understand the feeling of him wanting to help, but there is a limit to everything. A point where wanting to help turns into self satisfaction and you end up not doing it for the other person, but to stroke your own ego, for yourself. It's arrogant and ugly, just like Subaru here. It's been long time coming and I hope this is finally a wake-up call for him to trust Emilia. Like Emilia says, how did the duel with Julius or him embarrassing himself in front of everyone, including the knights, benefit him? It didn't, and he knows it. Everyone can see it, even the viewers, that what Subaru did was bad. It's just not something normal adults would do. He's the only one that doesn't see the fault in it, because he's so immature. Even if Emilia saved him in the past life or whatever he wants to bring up, it's all just an excuse. If I personally wanted to repay a debt to someone for saving me, I'd start with honoring my promises with them and trying to not intentionally go against their word just because I feel like I should be there to protect them always. It's just backwards logic. It's like Emilia said; there is another Emilia inside Subaru's mind, that is perfect, that can perfectly understand everything. We've been seeing this all this time, with Emilia Major Angel and other things that Subaru keeps saying. He imagines Emilia to be something she's not. She is not perfect, nobody is. All that being said, the exchange between them at the end there breaks my heart in so many ways. I can understand how Emilia feels because she doesn't understand why Subaru is going to these lengths so try and "pay her back". But I also understand Subaru, even if he mistakenly believes that he's doing it all for her. He just can't treat her like anyone else, not because she's a half-elf, but because he loves her. She can't see someone treating her differently because they love her, but because she's seen as someone who looks like the Witch of Envy and she wants to be seen like a normal person. A truly sad situation and it's just made even worse because of the miscommunication and the limitations of what he can talk about due to Return By Death. The ending song, sung by Emilia's VA, added on top during the moment is like a cherry on top of everything. I think everyone collectively wanted Subaru to kill himself in this episode, because of how badly he fumbled. It's just too painful to watch. In these episodes the a lot of important info was skipped. One moment was when Subaru was hitchhiking and Al and Priscilla happened to pick him up. It was revealed during that carriage ride that Al was also from Japan, just like Subaru. It also explains why Al always also calls him "bro" or didn't question Subaru when he mentioned the Kansai dialect. In the Royal Castle, after the initial commotion over Felt’s background, Reinhard talks about Felt’s physical characteristics, mainly her blond hair and crimson eyes, which were the trademark of the deceased Royal Family of Lugunica. There was a princess who was supposedly kidnapped as a baby, fourteen years ago, which would put that event around the time of Felt’s birth. Technically there is a lot that was also cut about the speeches of all the candidates, but the result is more or less the same. The candidates do get more depth and Emilia is seen as someone who has the power to become a tyrant, due to her pact with "Beast of the End" (translated as “Apocalypse Beast of Eternal Frost” in the official translation) Puck, but chooses to fight for the throne fair and square instead. This episode is a great filter for the show and it has dropped a lot of people off from the show. You are right to feel like you do. It's intended that you should feel that way even. It's only uphill from here right?

While Subaru is definitely being selfish and insecure here, the show is not sugarcoating that. He IS being immature. But I think you're also kinda meant to sympathise with him too. All your feelings are valid, everyone felt the same way too including myself watching it for the first time. But after thinking back on it and trying to see it from Subaru's warped perspective, I can empathise with him and pity him while also being disappointed by him. But at the same time, I can't blame him! His fears are definitely valid. Because he still doesn't know how his save points work, being away from Emilia in case something does happen to her scares him so he feels he NEEDS to be there. While its a valid feeling on his end, its also kind of arrogant to think only He can protect her. She has Roswaal and Puck there with her too. Just saying.. she's well protected. But anyway, so when Emilia decides to just cut him off like that, I understand deeply where his frustration comes from when he lashed out on her. Its a culmination of built up frustration that no one will ever truly know what he has gone through to get here, the fear of being abandoned by the only person who was ever kind to him in this world, and the desperation to have his efforts and the suffering that came with it acknowledged. He's been through so much pain and suffering trying to save Emilia, and while it all did work out.. its still a pretty valid fear to have. That all of that pain and suffering he went through would all have been for nothing if she still ended up getting hurt and dying anyway. Especially considering she's now a public political figure, that isn't gonna be well liked cos of the Witch of Envy discrimination. Again, I'm NOT saying he's in the right for what he said to her, especially everything he did while ignoring her own valid needs and wants. Its just understandable to see where BOTH of them are coming from, while also accepting that Subaru is still in the wrong here. I think if anything else, this episode shows that Return by Death DOES have long term negative consequences on Subaru's mental health. The trauma of what he has gone through doesn't go away just because the day was saved and everything is fine and peaceful now. The fear that something COULD happen to ruin that peace is evidence of that.
