Oh well, everything is still going to shit… But hey, silver lining! Let’s talk about what we’ve gained! Subaru learnt not to loose his cool while negotiating with Crusch, he found out asking Priscilla for help is pointless, and he learnt some valuable lessons in trade from Anastasia, which he even used himself when asking the merchants for help! He also knows when and where the Whale is gonna appear. Surely, there’s a way through this, right…? Well… We have three approaches. A. Take a detour = we’ll be too late, everyone is already dead, like in the first loop B. Go the short route and try to evade tha Whale = yup, good luck with that! C. Defeat the White Whale somehow…? = given that Otto said it killed the previous Master Swordsman… I’d say chances would be slim even with an army. That’s Reinhard’s predecessor we’re talking about and even they couldn’t do it! And even if we can get to the mansion somehow, we still have no real way of dealing with the cult. We still have nobody to help us, other than the merchants. We didn’t get to try the evacuation after all, and frankly, I doubt it would be that easy. Come to think of it, if everyone killed by the Whale has their existence erased, how come everyone still remembers the previous Master Swordsman? Seems like there’s some nuance to this… Now, Subaru still remembering is another interesting thing. If I had to guess it would probably have something to do with him being from another world, or his connection to the witch through Return By Death. Same goes for him being able to see the unseen hand. Anyway, can’t wait for the next reaction! Episode 18, considered to be one of the best episodes of the season, and one of the most iconic episodes of the whole series is up next!

So finally Subaru has learned that to help Emilia he needs to ask for help of other people, instead of pushing everyone away. Because he is powerless, he can't do anything. He could use his power but that alone hasn't really worked out so well in the last few episodes. I know that I said that the glint in his eyes was resolve in the last episode, but that's clearly not all. Here we learn that the glint in his eyes was also murderous intent. I believe it's both. He is determined that he can overcome this situation by killing Petelguse and the Witch's cult. I love what Priscilla did here (regardless of the feet), she basically told Subaru to swallow his pride and humiliate himself to try and beg for what he wants or keep his pride and not lower himself to the point of (literally) kissing up to someone else to help their master (so to say). It's an interesting dilemma for Subaru and I can definitely see an argument for and against both. On one hand I can absolutely understand the lengths Subaru tries to go to save Emilia, kneeling, or rather prostrating (the highest form of forgiveness/asking for help in Japanese culture) to Crush or even swallowing his own pride to lick the foot of Priscilla. Sadly, however, it all just ends up blowing back in his face because he wasn't calm and never thought things through. It's like Crush said: If you want to negotiate, you have to give them something of equal value in return. Subaru has nothing. All he can do is just yell about it. There was also some cut content here when Subaru and Rem go to visit the mansion of Priscilla. Once they enter the mansion, Rem seems to be sniffing something, staring at the back of Al’s helmet, then once Subaru is led alone to Priscilla, Rem remarks that he should be especially wary of Al. After Subaru is knocked out and brought outside by Al, there is a short exchange where Al calls Rem by Ram’s name, Rem clarifies that Ram is her sister, Al asks if her sister is still alive, to which Rem answers yes, and Al suddenly projects a ghastly aura, which shock Rem and Subaru both. Calming down immediately afterwards, he tells them to leave as soon as possible as he is not in a good mood, and after they leave, Al remarks “You gotta be joking me. So that’s what it was… Makes me wanna puke.”. There is clearly a lot we don't know about Al. We know Rem can smell the Witch's scent on Subaru from many of the previous loops, was this what she was smelling on him? If so, why? It's also cool to see how much you can really take away from the talk with Anastasia. There's so many subtle parts about what she says that are technically manipulating Subaru to give as much as information as possible, not to mention showing the art of negotiation and teaching Subaru some of those tricks. He's definitely going to need some of those. Like she said, all Subaru does is want, which is true. I also love that he puts some of that instantly to use. Anastasia said that he needs to know what the other person wants and needs to dangle it in front of them to get what he wants, so that's what he did with Otto and that's why he changed what he was going to say to him. We also learn a bit about something called the Flügel tree, which was said to be planted by the wise man (should be translated as sage) Flügel long time ago. This is important lore and should be remembered for the future. In the talk about how the White Whale is terrifying, Otto says that it killed the first Master Swordsman. Why Subaru here looks so terrified is because if you remember, Reinhard actually holds that title right now. So you can assume someone as strong as Reinhard died to it. That's why everyone is terrified of the White Whale. Before Subaru died for the first time (after Memory Snow) Wilhelm mentioned that there was some fog covering one of the roads that was possibly caused by the White Whale that ended up making them taking a longer route making them late to the mansion. Rem even said that they would die if they took the path with the fog. Now we see how that would've played out. In all of the previous loops where Subaru gets to the mansion, they have all already been dead when he gets there. This is the first time he makes it there before the attack happens. Now the question is, why does Subaru remember everyone that has been forgotten? And if the first Master Swordsman died to it, how does everyone remember about that but not Rem or anyone else? I think Subaru didn't really try to explain the full situation to Emilia probably due to him panicking due to time running out and also because what Crush said. It's not like he could really just say "Oh yeah, the Witch Cult is coming" because how would he know? It would look sus, but not saying anything also looks sus, so he literally can't win. And then, in his desparation, he tries to talk about his ability only for it to backfire in an even worse way than ever before. You can imagine that he won't try to talk about it anymore ever to anyone. It's also interesting to see Subaru to go from "I don't want to die!" after getting pushed off the carriage to "Please kill me!" after Emilia died. It's clear, it always has been clear, that he cares more about Emilia than his own life. Also, Puck did call Emilia his daughter here...
