Re:Zero, full title Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu ("Re: Starting Life in Another World from Zero") is a light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shin'ichir� Ōtsuka. Originally a Web Serial Novel that was first self-published on the site Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2012, it was picked up for print publication by Media Factory in 2014.Subaru was an Ordinary High-School Student on his way back from a snack run one day, when he suddenly finds that he's not in Japan anymore. When he looks around, he realizes that he's in an archaic fantasy universe. Luckily, he lands in a populated town. Unluckily, it's not all that safe. His life is saved thanks to the efforts of a half-elf named Satella. Subaru decides to repay her by helping Satella recover a trinket that was stolen from her, and begins to develop feelings for her as they spend time together.And then they're both murdered.And then Subaru wakes up exactly where he was when he first appeared in the fantasy world.Subaru eventually realizes that every time he dies, he goes back to a certain "checkpoint" in the story. Once he's dealt with the threat to his life, he tries to live peacefully in this new world until a new threat arises and a new checkpoint is established. Unfortunately, every time a threat is dealt with, the checkpoint is immediately established, so if Subaru can't deal with whatever is threatening him without undesired consequences, he's stuck with them.Despite the fantasy premise, it soon becomes apparent that the series is a Psychological Horror thriller, and that there's going to be less swordfighting and action and more death and despair.The series was adapted for the spring 2016 anime season and is being directed by Masaharu Watanobe and animated by White Fox; a second season was announced at AnimeJapan 2019 and was originally set for an April 2020 release, but was delayed to July 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In March 2023, a third season was announced. The published version of the light novels has been licensed for publication in the west by Yen Press.

Anyone Can Die: Due to Subaru's ability, nobody has plot armor as they can all come back. Whether they can "come back" complete, especially after Subaru hits specific checkpoints where he's stuck with his choice, is a different question.

While Subaru can (somehow) understand what people are saying just fine, the written language of Lugunica is completely different, leaving him functionally illiterate. He does starts getting lessons at Roswaal's mansion, but he is not an Instant Expert and even a month later Rem remarks that he still has trouble with anything more than the basics.

Heroic BSoD
 Re:Zero / int_1439161f
comment
Seeing Betelgeuse kill Rem snaps Subaru out of his Heroic BSoD and sends him into an Unstoppable Rage, ranting that he'll kill the Sin Archbishop. This does not lend him any extra strength however, and he eventually tires, wearing out the skin on his wrists while straining against his restraints. His Unstoppable Rage carries over to his next loop and actually proves to be a detriment to his efforts. While it restored his drive, it makes him too angry to strategize properly and hinders his efforts to make allies, since he is clearly unstable and doesn't think to offer any compelling evidence or reason for them to help him.

 Re:Zero / int_15184afb

This Loser Is You: Deconstructed to the nth degree with Subaru Natsuki, who embodies all the core traits of this. And with his eventual "Groundhog Day" Loop levels of suffering, eventually shows how such a person would actually work in real life, culminating into one hell of a tearjerking Self inflicted "The Reason You Suck" Speech in Episode 18. All the suffering he goes through up till then has been, to his self-loathing and realization, to be the result of his rotten character, a person who has done absolutely nothing productive his whole life, in spite of having all the time in the world, foolishly thinking that all the knowledge he gained from doing nothing but gaming and bingeing on anime, manga and Light Novels, that it could get him a better life in another world simply by being teleported there, only to find this to be not at all what happens. He states multiple times at that point that he hates himself for it. Case in point:

Anonymous Benefactor: Pandora supports the Witch's Cult through various means, such as providing powerful warriors like Theresia van Astrea and Kurgan as puppets. However, Pandora's relationship with the cult isn't quite clear because members are forbidden to speak of her despite knowing of her existence and she is addressed with high respect. Satella is one for Subaru by bringing him to Lugunica and giving him his power.

The Confidant: Rem acts like this to Subaru during the third arc. Subaru is at his lowest point, finds himself at the depths of despair when he thinks everything is lost and there's nothing he can do about it. Rem is there to listen to his troubles and give him the courage to not give up and try again. Emilia also acts as this during the second arc while giving Subara a Lap Pillow. Echidna serves as this for Subaru as well, when it's revealed that he can tell her about Return By Death.

Badass Adorable: Emilia. She is a magician first and utmost, but the prequel Snow Bonds shows that, before becoming a spirit mage, she could handle her own against small mercenary groups armed only with her demihuman strength as a half-elf. Anyone who thinks she is defenseless quickly realizes that good people don't have to be weaklings. Her familiar puck looks like a cute little cat. But he has a monstrous, huge shape in which he can cause enormous destruction. Ram and Rem look like two nondescript, not particularly tall girls in their early or middle teenage years. However, both are very strong and can effortlessly mow down opponents who look much stronger and also destroy weaker monsters with ease. Rem in particular shows it when someone threatens Subaru.

Genre Shift
 Re:Zero / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: The series starts off seeming like another Trapped in Another World romance anime, but then Subaru and his primary love interest are murdered. Things still seem up when he tries to get around what causes their deaths, but the real tone sets in after he dies a third time. The first episode was nearly an hour long and Crunchyroll split it into two parts in order to better maintain this effect. Fans of the novel looked at the promotional art and compared the marketing to offering a child an ice cream cone with nails hidden inside of it.

Always Someone Better: In their backstory episode, it was revealed that Ram was actually always the superior twin sister, not Rem.

It was only after Ram's horn was sliced off from her that the scales were turned around.

He also opposed the magical stratagems of the Artificial Human "Sphinx", a failed creation of the Witch of Greed Echidna, her appearance identical to the 26 clones of Ryuzu Meyer that Subaru would later encounter inside the Sanctuary. Sphinx was apparently killed by the past incarnation of Roswall Mathers, only to show up as a resurrected Corpse Soldier during the events of Arc 8 and attack Subaru and his allies.

Wrong Genre Savvy: In many instances, Subaru seems to be this (e.g. assuming he would get powers when in danger fighting Elsa in the first anime episode). However, he does gradually learn from his mistakes, and tries not to repeat them, such as when attacking the ruffians in the alley.

 Re:Zero / int_20e7ed4f

Adaptive Ability: Reinhard's ability allows him to gain blessings in response to the situations he is placed in. In addition, these new blessings don't disappear afterward, allowing him to stack abilities to become almost invincible. During a trip to Volakia, Julius witnessed him fighting off a small army of Half-Human Hybrids without a scratch despite their unique fighting styles, noting that it was due to the combination of the 'first-sight blessing', allowing him to instinctively understand how to react to an attack he is seeing for the first time, and the 'twice-seen' blessing, which enables him to react with greater speed to an attack he has witnessed before, making it functionally impossible to hit him with a new or repeated attack, especially with his insane physical abilities.

Chekhov's Boomerang: Subaru's cell phone. It was originally used as a bargaining chip for Emilia's insignia, by pretending it is a Metia that freezes a moment in time. Later, Subaru once again pretends it is a Metia, this time as one that predicts the future and uses it to explain where he gets his information about the White Whale that is normally impossible to know ahead of time in order to gain the cooperation of Crusch to save Emilia.

Serves as the first sign that Rem was attacked by the Archbishop of Gluttony and erased from existence. Pristella’s Metropolitan Government Hall's Radio. It's used prior to the climax for Subaru to give a Rousing Speech to everyone in the city and was mentioned early in the arc for announcements.

Overall, this tends to happen to characters in situations or timelines where Subaru isn't able to interfere in their fate thanks to Return By Death, regardless of their origins, powers or individual strengths. They Die. Often suddenly, violently and messily depending on the threat facing them. No matter how powerful someone is, it means nothing if they're taken off-guard or faced with an insurmountable threat out of nowhere that they can't possibly overcome. Emilia has enough Mana and innate talent with ice magic to freeze the entire Elior forest in a permanent glacial frost whilst in the midst of an emotional breakdown, but without Subaru around to warn her of danger, she's gutted and killed by Elsa without being able to defend herself in any way as early as Arc 1. Likewise, Garfiel is a powerful Lightning Bruiser with a Healing Factor and combat talents good enough to take on and eventually kill Elsa in a pitched fight, but when he's faced up against an incomprehensible threat like the shadowy form of Satella, the Witch of Envy herself, he's blown to pieces without being able to resist, the sheer power gap meaning nothing he did would make a difference. Plot Armour does not exist in this world regardless of one's importance or relevance to the plot — in fact, it could be said that Subaru's ability allows him to enforce plot armour onto his allies whilst steadily figuring out a way to strip said armour off their believed-unbeatable enemies. Just about the one character in the world who does have said armour is Reinhard, as even in alternative timelines where Subaru turns insane and evil, he is never harmed or able to be defeated, and is likewise often the one to put an end to world-spanning threats in timelines where Subaru fails. However, such a being existing in this world comes with its own set of limitations. Reinhard's sheer power means everybody is wary of him and isolates him from the rest of humanity, which is hinted to deeply affect him underneath his knightly demeanour. Whilst he does show up to stop overwhelming dangers from getting too out of control, he's only one man, and can't be everywhere, no matter how fast he can move, so said dangers have already caused mass casualties by the time he shows up. And whilst Reinhard cannot be bested himself, this doesn't mean he still can't lose, as AU Subaru simply sets up a scheme that destroys the entire country, leaving Reinhard with nothing despite all his immense power. Being so strong as to be perfectly invincible does not allow one to resolve the complicated issues that plague the story, and in fact leave Reinhard too far removed from them to properly have a chance to fix things.

"The Love Ballad of the Sword Devil" - The Younger Wilhelm fought a duel with the legendary Vollachian warrior Eight-arms Kurgan in the streets of Pictat, and Kurgan would be resurrected to oppose Wilhelm and the rest of the Royal Selection Candidates during the events of Arc 5. The duel was instigated by the machinations of Stride Vollachia, a disgraced member of the Vollachian Royal family line and the prior Archbishop of Pride. In the unofficially translated 3rd volume, Stride's plans would see him killed by the same black dragon he summoned to attack Lugunica, leaving the position of Pride open amongst the Witch Cult, informing Petelgeuse's belief that Subaru was the next archbishop of Pride that allowed him an advantage against the Sloth Archbishop during Arc 3.

Genre Relaunch: Although Re:Zero and KonoSuba were written by close friends and were conceived as satire of the then-dying and discredited isekai genre (specifically the overabundance of Cliché Storm and Marty Stu that was all too common), the commercial success and critical recognition of their anime adaptations in 2016 led to the mass resurgence of this genre to anime-mainstream soon after, with most of these new adaptations and works ironically playing the genre straight.

Cursed with Awesome: Played with. Subaru's reset powers are useful, but he remembers the pain of every death he experiences, especially if they're not quick ones. A good portion of the story is dedicated to how many drawbacks his powers have, such as all of the people he'd worked hard to befriend suddenly forgetting him, the horror of knowing about impending disasters without being sure if he can actually avert them, and his lack of control over save points meaning he can get stuck permanently with terrible unforeseen consequences. Because of this, most people view it as a curse, including him.

Deconstructor Fleet
 Re:Zero / int_30c40e9a
comment
Deconstructor Fleet: The series takes great pains to critically examine many tropes present not just in the typical NEET Trapped in Another World plotline, but aspects of high fantasy and the concept of supporting cast. Rather than a straightforward fantasy of 'fight monsters' and 'defeat a great evil' the driving goal of the series is more political in nature, and both the characters and the setting have complex, interlocking backstories that Subaru (and the audience) learn about as time goes on. In fact, the Witch of Envy (who would normally fit the role of Big Bad in this type of story) was defeated centuries ago and is implied to be what summoned Subaru in the first place, with much of the challenges faced arising from the legacy left behind by both her and her fellow Witches. In general, Subaru being Trapped in Another World makes him a sort of Audience Surrogate, which means that there are many aspects of the background, culture and values of the world that he is woefully ignorant of. Most stories tend to gloss over this outside of some exposition dumps, but here this is something that actively hinders him since it leads to misinterpreting several peoples actions due to lacking the context that most there would consider common sense. It also makes survival much harder since many of the dangers of the world are considered so obvious to the people there, they see no reason to explain them to him, leading to a few cases where his death could have been avoided (or at least delayed) with some basic knowledge. Subaru is pleasantly surprised that his magic affinity is Yin, which is remarked to be incredibly rare. Unlike in most cases of the Super Power Lottery, it's rarity actually makes it less effective, since there are so few users, knowledge of how to use it is much less widespread or documented compared to the more common elements. Unstoppable Rage is picked apart through different characters in Arc 3. While it does grant someone much greater determination it also greatly hinders their ability to think rationally and strategize properly, ultimately making them less effective in most situations. In particular, Subaru is unable to muster up any allies since it makes him appear unstable and Betelgeuse falls for several obvious traps when goaded. The White Whale takes a look at the idea of a random encounter boss from a video-game and shows how terrifying it is applied to a realistic setting. Entire convoys of merchants go missing, supplies and lives lost and it's ability to Ret-Gone people further muddies the waters with no reliable way to anticipate its movements. While there are some precautions in place akin to highways, as a whole the beast is treated as a natural disaster that can claim anyone who does not use the proper roads. Even attempts to deal with it directly are difficult since in addition to the vast amount of manpower and equipment needed to fight the thing, determining where it will be is an extremely difficult task in of itself, making an assault a logistical nightmare. Arc 4 begins to deconstruct Subaru's Not Afraid to Die and Conditioned to Accept Horror attitude. As he becomes increasingly casual about using Return by Death to gain himself and his allies more advantages, he unnerves his friends at how little he seems to care for his own well-being. While he may have come to terms with facing pain for a greater cause, this leads him to underestimate the importance he has to other people, being surprised when they show concern for him and acting independently without fully informing others, causing them to worry in his absence.

""Record of the Days Before the Royal Selection: Diplomacy by Bloodshed" - This features appearances from Vincent Vollachia and several of the 9 Divine generals, all of who would go on to play a role in Arcs 7 and 8, after Subaru is unceremoniously teleported into the Vollachian country and the middle of a Civil War, forced to ally with Vincent to survive. The novel also showcases Julius' duel and eventual victory against Balleroy Temeglyph, one of the Divine Generals who apparently betrayed Vincent and tried to launch a coup on him, in actuality, a elaborate Batman Gambit orchestrated by Vincent to enable to signing of a ceasefire agreement between Vollachia and Lugunica during the royal selection. This event would be discussed in Arc 6, and in Arc 7, Subaru would wind up allying with Flop and Medium O'Connell, Balleroy's adoptive siblings. Furthermore, Balleroy's given motivation for his actions was to avenge the death of his elder brother figure Miles, A Vollachian spy killed by Reinhard whilst on a mission in Lugunica, the event of which was shown in "Felix Argle's Curse".

You Shall Not Pass!: Subaru does this to the Ulgarms so Rem and Ram can escape. Granted, his Return by Death ability means he wasn't exactly pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to buy time, but rather he wanted to die so he could reset the time loop and try for a better outcome where everyone survived.

Scary Teeth: Frederica and Garfiel have such teeth. Subaru once noted that Frederica would probably be a really pretty woman if she didn't have teeth like that. Both have such teeth because they are hybrids of humans and beastmen. Despite the creepy teeth, both are good guys, even if Garfiel isn't always the nicest.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Re:Zero / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Overall, this tends to happen to characters in situations or timelines where Subaru isn't able to interfere in their fate thanks to Return By Death, regardless of their origins, powers or individual strengths. They Die. Often suddenly, violently and messily depending on the threat facing them. No matter how powerful someone is, it means nothing if they're taken off-guard or faced with an insurmountable threat out of nowhere that they can't possibly overcome. Emilia has enough Mana and innate talent with ice magic to freeze the entire Elior forest in a permanent glacial frost whilst in the midst of an emotional breakdown, but without Subaru around to warn her of danger, she's gutted and killed by Elsa without being able to defend herself in any way as early as Arc 1. Likewise, Garfiel is a powerful Lightning Bruiser with a Healing Factor and combat talents good enough to take on and eventually kill Elsa in a pitched fight, but when he's faced up against an incomprehensible threat like the shadowy form of Satella, the Witch of Envy herself, he's blown to pieces without being able to resist, the sheer power gap meaning nothing he did would make a difference. Plot Armour does not exist in this world regardless of one's importance or relevance to the plot — in fact, it could be said that Subaru's ability allows him to enforce plot armour onto his allies whilst steadily figuring out a way to strip said armour off their believed-unbeatable enemies. Just about the one character in the world who does have said armour is Reinhard, as even in alternative timelines where Subaru turns insane and evil, he is never harmed or able to be defeated, and is likewise often the one to put an end to world-spanning threats in timelines where Subaru fails. However, such a being existing in this world comes with its own set of limitations. Reinhard's sheer power means everybody is wary of him and isolates him from the rest of humanity, which is hinted to deeply affect him underneath his knightly demeanour. Whilst he does show up to stop overwhelming dangers from getting too out of control, he's only one man, and can't be everywhere, no matter how fast he can move, so said dangers have already caused mass casualties by the time he shows up. And whilst Reinhard cannot be bested himself, this doesn't mean he still can't lose, as AU Subaru simply sets up a scheme that destroys the entire country, leaving Reinhard with nothing despite all his immense power. Being so strong as to be perfectly invincible does not allow one to resolve the complicated issues that plague the story, and in fact leave Reinhard too far removed from them to properly have a chance to fix things. In general, the series pulls no punches about how outclassed a person from real life would fare in a fantasy world full of monsters, MagicKnights and Little Bit Beastly DemiHumans. Subaru may be in good shape by real world standards, but in the World of Badass he is outclassed by every named character over the age of 12 in terms of combat ability. His Resurrective Immortality is the only thing that gives him any kind of chance. When trying to figure out how to deal with Elsa, at no point does Subaru consider directly fighting her himself. After all she's clearly a dangerous assassin who could kill Rom and Felt with ease while he is a former shut-in with no combat experience. Subaru's Save Scumming ability "Return by Death" gives him plenty of foreknowledge on his enemies' and allies' plans and another chance to achieve his goals but little else. He has to learn, build on, and practice his skills and abilities to stand a fighting chance. He regularly struggles to convince others to listen to him since he usually has no evidence that what he says is accurate, especially when he's initially a stranger to them. Additionally, as explored in Arc 2, just because Subaru is repeating events, does not mean that his interactions with people and such will be the exact same, no matter how many times he tries to repeat the 'first' time experience with them. As Subaru retains his memories and knowledge from each loop, that means the Subaru that loops is automatically different from the Subaru that experienced the events the first time around, and intentionally trying to act like he's as clueless as the 'first' Subaru was only serves to make people around him suspicious. For example, Subaru does extremely poorly in his various servant duties during his first loop in the Roswell Mansion, and in one of his unsuccessful loops, it's pointed out to him that Rem and Ram can tell he's botching the job or not trying as hard as he could to do it well, which only deepens their distrust of him. A side effect of Return By Death allows Subaru to remember everything that has happened before restarting the loop, including his own death. Being forced to relive a traumatic event over and over again is never good for one's state of mind, and in more than one occasion Subaru suffers from PTSD. Conversely, after rashly accepting a duel challenge from Julius out of wounded pride, he quickly finds himself completely outmatched. Even his attempts at being a Combat Pragmatist fall flat, since as Julius points out, his smokescreen spell is only enough to trip up novice fighters or mindless beasts, not an experienced knight like himself. When joining Ram's search for Rem in the forest Subaru quickly tires, since despite being healed, he lost a fair amount of blood from the Mabeasts mauling him and his encounter with Elsa (which occurred less than a week apart). At one point Subaru falls off a cliff and attempts to reduce the momentum by sticking a sword into it like in movies. It works!.... And then the sword breaks since he just shoved and dragged though solid rock. While Subaru can (somehow) understand what people are saying just fine, the written language of Lugunica is completely different, leaving him functionally illiterate. He does starts getting lessons at Roswaal's mansion, but he is not an Instant Expert and even a month later Rem remarks that he still has trouble with anything more than the basics. Seeing Betelgeuse kill Rem snaps Subaru out of his Heroic BSoD and sends him into an Unstoppable Rage, ranting that he'll kill the Sin Archbishop. This does not lend him any extra strength however, and he eventually tires, wearing out the skin on his wrists while straining against his restraints. His Unstoppable Rage carries over to his next loop and actually proves to be a detriment to his efforts. While it restored his drive, it makes him too angry to strategize properly and hinders his efforts to make allies, since he is clearly unstable and doesn't think to offer any compelling evidence or reason for them to help him.

Amnesiac Hero: Emilia remembers very little about her childhood with the other elves of the Elior Forest and her clearest memories are those from after she was released from her ice prison by Puck. This is an important plot point in Arc 4 as Emilia must face her own past as part of her first trial and in many loops, her mind breaks from not being able to bear her painful memories. Also happens to Subaru for a major portion of Arc 6. Rem, once she reawakens at the start of Arc 7, has lost almost all of her memories.

In addition to his Return from Zero ability, he's not afraid to throw sand in his opponent's face or black out the area with magic to gain an advantage. More often than not, this fails to sufficiently undermine trained opponents. Subaru tends to triumph when he applies the trope strategically, gathering friends and allies who can take on the enemy together.

Action Survivor: Subaru is just a hikikomori with no supernatural powers or fighting skills who suddenly finds himself involved in several deadly situations after getting transported to another world. He does have the power to get revived after dying, but his lack of any other real skills forces Subaru to learn how to get out of the messes he gets himself into and save his allies.

 Re:Zero / int_53535691

Stock Light-Novel Hero: When he first arrives in his new world, Subaru assumes he's gained powerful magic or some other talent, but initially has none. The only unique ability he gained is to start over from a "save point" after he dies, which is only a blessing considering the horrible ways he constantly meets his end. Gaining a harem (with a couple of reciprocated loves but also others with varying degrees of interest) means he has more people to protect or save. And one of those girls, Satella, the Witch of Envy, leaves a trail of corpses whenever she makes an appearance. To top it all off, all of the ability acquisitions he gains throughout the series are extremely nerfed compared to the original users or have conditions that Subaru cannot match, making them completely useless.

At the end, Subaru completes his mission to save Emilia and the village from the witches cultists, confesses to her and even plans to reveal to marry both her and Rem. However, he realizes too late that Rem was attacked by Ley Batenkaitos and not only falls into a coma, no one except Subaru can remember her.

Adaptation Distillation: The anime is this by rearranging certain events to make the flow better as well as removing exposition like Al being from another world and foreshadowing like a woman implied to be Satella appearing between Subaru's loops. The light novel itself does cut out quite a bit of chapters from the original web novel. This is particularly noticeable in the example of the interaction between Subaru and Rem, whose Ship Tease is markedly reduced compared to a light novel in order to simplify the romantic line.

Central Theme: Loneliness, isolation, trauma, how that can have an effect on a person, and ultimately overcome all of that.

It's fine to be selfless, but there is a such thing as Senseless Sacrifice. You need to take care of your own person too. No matter how much you stumble or fall, you can always get back up and start over again... from zero.

Save Scumming
 Re:Zero / int_5cfeb43f
comment
Subaru's Save Scumming ability "Return by Death" gives him plenty of foreknowledge on his enemies' and allies' plans and another chance to achieve his goals but little else. He has to learn, build on, and practice his skills and abilities to stand a fighting chance. He regularly struggles to convince others to listen to him since he usually has no evidence that what he says is accurate, especially when he's initially a stranger to them. Additionally, as explored in Arc 2, just because Subaru is repeating events, does not mean that his interactions with people and such will be the exact same, no matter how many times he tries to repeat the 'first' time experience with them. As Subaru retains his memories and knowledge from each loop, that means the Subaru that loops is automatically different from the Subaru that experienced the events the first time around, and intentionally trying to act like he's as clueless as the 'first' Subaru was only serves to make people around him suspicious. For example, Subaru does extremely poorly in his various servant duties during his first loop in the Roswell Mansion, and in one of his unsuccessful loops, it's pointed out to him that Rem and Ram can tell he's botching the job or not trying as hard as he could to do it well, which only deepens their distrust of him. A side effect of Return By Death allows Subaru to remember everything that has happened before restarting the loop, including his own death. Being forced to relive a traumatic event over and over again is never good for one's state of mind, and in more than one occasion Subaru suffers from PTSD. Conversely, after rashly accepting a duel challenge from Julius out of wounded pride, he quickly finds himself completely outmatched. Even his attempts at being a Combat Pragmatist fall flat, since as Julius points out, his smokescreen spell is only enough to trip up novice fighters or mindless beasts, not an experienced knight like himself.

Kill on Sight
 Re:Zero / int_5dca2bb
comment
Kill on Sight: Most of the population of the world loathes and hates the Witch Cult and would not hesitate to kill any of their members preemptively. Ironically, this has largely aided the Cult in maintaining a degree of secrecy and ambiguity around itself, as very few members could be successfully captured. Even then, most members would rather commit to a Suicide Attack than risk being captured, so it might not make much of a difference. This mentality towards them is bad news for Subaru, as his Return by Death ability gives him the witch's scent that a select few characters can catch, which makes them suspect that he's a member of the cult. And they usually respond to the slightest suspicious behavior as adequate grounds to murder him.

Just before she is defeated by the Archbishop of Gluttony at the start of season 2 the audience is shown 2 frames of Rem from her If chapter; one with her children with Subaru, Rigel and Spica, and one with her smiling in Subaru's arms. Giving those who have read or are just familiar with Rem Natsuki If one Hell of a gut punch right out the gate.

 Re:Zero / int_6ec4232f

Casting Gag: The fact that Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and Inori Minase played potential couple in the other fantasy shows, which can make episode 15 a little narmy. A fierce battle between Elsa and Reinhardt in the third episode may also suffer because of this, when you start to think of them as Tomoya and Kotomi from CLANNAD. Moreover, for Nakamura, Reinhardt is the already second absurdly Memetic Badass role in his career after Tatsuya Shiba. This isn't the first time that Yui Horie and Sarah Anne Williams has voiced a cat person. But in the latter's case, it's pretty much different. In the Latin American Spanish dub, this is not the first time we hear Ricardo Bautista (Subaru) voicing a main character being abused by the rest of the cast, except this time, it's NOT Played for Laughs at all.

The Thing That Would Not Leave: Roswaal's librarian, Beatrice, has enhanced his library to prevent anyone but him from entering. This serves especially well in her favor as she prefers her own company. Unfortunately for her, Subaru is immune to the enchantment and can enter the library at any time he wants, which he does on a regular basis to visit Beatrice. This of course bothers Beatrice to no end but she can't do anything about it because Beatrice herself has no idea how Subaru can get past her magic.

Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: While the main plot itself is simple, the author is consistent in presenting mysteries in the periphery of the story that don't get answered until much later, or are answered by further questions.

Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Zigzagged. Subaru typically isn't the type to brood and goes out of his way to be energetic and encouraging to the people around him. But when the pain and trauma from of his numerous deaths from failed loops threaten to crush his spirit, he specifically desires Rem to comfort him but it's because he knows she wouldn't let him continue to brood and would get him back on his feet to move forward.

Awesomeness by Analysis
 Re:Zero / int_73733868
comment
Awesomeness by Analysis: Roswaal is able to deduce that Subaru is capable of time looping simply by watching him being shocked over the deaths of Ram and Garfiel, whom Roswaal had just killed in front of him, yet lack any grief. Even from Arc 1, Subaru has been a master of this skill. Just from paying attention to his opponents, Subaru has been able to recognize critical weakpoints in fights allowing for surprise upsets. Add in Return by Death, he is the one of Re:Zero's most terrifying characters to alienate if given enough information to screw over someone. In Arc 1, Subaru managed to memorize Elsa's attack pattern well enough that he was able to stall her long enough to get support it the form of Reinhard. In Arc 2, after being killed by Rem's flail, he manages to make a defense by using his tracksuit to distribute the weight, allowing him to survive a few hits that would have killed him in any other circumstance. Also in Arc 2, Subaru notices that creatures that have relation to the Witches of Sin become aggressive in response to his scent. As a result, he abuses this to draw aggro from the mabeasts in order to figure out where Rem is. In Arc 3, Subaru notices that several merchants leave to and from the Karsten Manor. He realizes that these merchants are peddling weapons with Crusch Camp in order to fight mabeasts based on comments made by Anastasia. He leverages this information to gain an army to fight the White Whale. Also in Arc 3, Subaru figures out how to counteract Petelgeuse's possession by intentionally calling upon his curse to inflict damage on both of them. In Arc 4, Subaru deducts that Roswaal is doing a power play simply based on knowledge that he should know what happens if unqualified people attempt the Sanctuary's Trial and went with it anyway. In Arc 5, he's able to deduce Regulus' ability and how to counteract it during their big fight.

Dragons Are Divine: Volcanica, the Divine Dragon, embodies this trope to a T. Though it is unclear whether the dragon is actually a deity, he certainly has the power to claim such a status. Volcanica is seen as the guardian of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica, the primary setting of the story, and is worshipped by the populace, having forged a covenant with the old royal family to protect the Kingdom from all external threats centuries prior. Volcanica also created three lesser breeds of smaller dragons for humans to use, and was instrumental in sealing the Witch of Envy to prevent her from ending the world four hundred years ago.

He then realizes to his horror that he was murdered sometime during that last night, but has no idea why anyone would kill him. He explores two possibilities: either one of the people living in the manor secretly wants him dead despite acting friendly to him, or an outsider found a way to kill him (and possibly others) while he's secure inside the manor.

Developing Doomed Characters: Weird example.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the second loop during Arc 1, Subaru stops Emilia in the streets. Unfortunately she has yet to run into him in this timeline, and gets rather angry at him because he called her "Satella", which was the alias she previously went under during loop one as a Secret Test of Character on Subaru, who passed by virtue of not knowing the significance of that name or her half-elf status. This then provides enough of a distraction that Felt is then able to steal Emilia's insignia.

Reality Is Unrealistic: Due to the fact that many anime exaggeratedly show ordinary people as impenetrable idealists and born heroic personalities, especially ordinary schoolchildren, Subaru may seem very repulsive and stupid. Once he gains an Entitled to Have You personality towards the girls he meets, then it gets even worse- in the end, Subaru is acting just as a real teenager would in the perilous situation he finds himself in, and the incredible stress of what happens to him causes him to lash out. He eventually develops out of this behavior, becoming a genuine hero.

Abhorrent Admirer
 Re:Zero / int_88cee6e2
comment
Abhorrent Admirer: Satella (or rather the Witch of Envy personality) is dangerously obsessed with Subaru and in one loop in which she possesses Emilia's body, she chases after him while gliding with her arms out toward Subaru as if trying to hug him and shouting "I LOVE YOU!" over and over again. Subaru, for his part, can only feel extreme fear and revulsion about the mere thought of getting hugged by her and would prefer to be eaten by the White Whale. Sirius is like this for Petelgeuse. And after absorbing the Sloth Witch Factor, Subaru is mistaken as the object of her affections.

Humiliation Conga
 Re:Zero / int_890d4ef2
comment
Humiliation Conga: Episode 13 is basically a twenty-minute length one for Subaru, good god. First he speaks out of turn at a royal meeting and proclaims himself to be Emilia's knight in front of actual knights and feel that he has insulted their chivalry code. Julius then questions Subaru's credentials to be a knight despite his lack of noble status. Subaru then tries to save face by insinuating that knighthood is nothing special. He's then kicked out of the palace hall in front of an obviously disappointed Emilia. You'd think that'd be enough, but nope; Julius challenges Subaru to a duel to defend his knight's honor and beats the shit out of him in front of everyone while he futilely tries to fight back. Even his ace in the hole has no effect as he's too much of a novice for it to be effective against an experienced fighter like Julius. The last scene is Emilia giving him a What the Hell, Hero? for disobeying her requests while still trying to proclaim it was "for her sake" and calls him out on his selfishness and tells him in no uncertain terms that she wants nothing more to do with him, and Subaru ends the episode alone and despondent.

Not Afraid to Die
 Re:Zero / int_8a2d8868
comment
Arc 4 begins to deconstruct Subaru's Not Afraid to Die and Conditioned to Accept Horror attitude. As he becomes increasingly casual about using Return by Death to gain himself and his allies more advantages, he unnerves his friends at how little he seems to care for his own well-being. While he may have come to terms with facing pain for a greater cause, this leads him to underestimate the importance he has to other people, being surprised when they show concern for him and acting independently without fully informing others, causing them to worry in his absence.

Wham Episode
 Re:Zero / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Episode 7. Subaru finding out who his killer is, the way he is killed, and the trauma afterwards make it one of the most brutal episodes so far. Not to mention that Subaru finds out the hard way that he can never tell anyone about his power, and his inaction leads to the death of Rem in the same way that he died in the mansion the first time, which causes him to realize that although she brutally murdered him in the last two loops, she's actually a good person, just misguided, and accepting this, he jumps off a cliff to his death in order to try to save her. Episode 14. Subaru gets word that Emilia is in trouble and leaves with Rem to save her, but when Rem leaves him for his own safety, he forced on to Arlem (the village outside of Roswaal's mansion). The end result though, is that he's Late to the Tragedy: everyone in the village has been slaughtered by several oddly polite cultists and Subaru discovers Rem's impaled corpse in the Roswaal Courtyard. Episode 15. The psychological trauma of the last loop breaks Subaru's mind, leaving him nearly catatonic. Rem tries bringing Subaru back to the mansion, but the witch's cult attacks them on their way, and kidnaps Subaru, only for Rem to try and save him. Betelgeuse, the archbishop of sloth, breaks down Subaru's psyche and seemingly kills Rem, then horrifically maims her body while Subaru is forced to watch, screaming bloody murder. Betelgeuse leaves Subaru to die, but soon afterward Rem crawls over to Subaru, breaks his chains, confesses and dies in his arms. To top it all off, Subaru carries Rem's body back to the village, once again finding a massacre, and then watches as an enormous monster erupts from the mansion, turning everything into a snowy apocalypse, and decapitates Subaru with a glance. Arc 6 in the web novel is a big one; Subaru suddenly shouts the first thing he said when coming to this world, and it appears that he's forgotten everything. Tappei describes the chapter it happens in ("The Corridor of Memories") to be the real start of the arc.

Apocalypse How: Invoked by Subaru, twice, in the third arc. In one loop, the audience is only given a sense of foreboding towards it when a massive creature erupts from Roswaal's mansion and beheads Subaru with a glance. In a later loop, it is revealed that by getting Emilia killed, Subaru inadvertently breaks Puck's contract with her. This causes Puck to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and freeze the world over, causing anywhere from a Class 2 up to a Class 5. That's right, getting Emilia killed is The End of the World as We Know It. Or at least until Reinhard gets off his ass and does something.

Ret-Gone
 Re:Zero / int_92cca75b
comment
Ret-Gone: Anyone hit by the White Whale's fog blasts is erased from reality, and forgotten by anyone who knew them... except Subaru. The effects are a bit inconsistent—Rem gets erased in one loop, and all evidence of her existence vanishes, down to the decorations in her room at the castle; but when some of Crusch's soldiers get wiped out, they still remember that each squad originally had 15 members, allowing them to keep track of how many they lost. It actually isn't inconsistent. There are supposed to be a fixed number of 15 units each. They can't be any less for no matter what reason as the Crusch would never field less then that initially. So say if their are suddenly 15/15/15/14 after the original 15/15/15/15 someone would eventually realize that something is wrong because their strict orders not for anything less those numbers and would see the inconsistency. This displays a weakness of the White Whale's power, it can erase a person, but it cannot erase common sense. You don't need to remember the individuals soldiers lost, just the amount that is supposed to be there. The Archbishop of Gluttony, Ley Batenkaitos, also has similar powers. By consuming a person's name and memories, no one, again except Subaru, is able to remember the person. While Crusch only suffers from Laser-Guided Amnesia, Rem falls into a coma and no one except Subaru can remember her.

Groundhog Peggy Sue
 Re:Zero / int_94d5ef53
comment
Subaru deconstructs Groundhog Peggy Sue. While in most stories such an ability allows a character to solve problems with ease, either by using the loops to become strong enough to defeat any foe or using foreknowledge to foil any enemy plans, here several shortcomings are presented. First the 'save points' are set automatically, and usually within a few hours to a few days to the event that kills him, leaving him little time to train, since his physical abilities also reset. What's more, while he may learn some details of their plans, he can still be blindsided by things he wasn't present for in the last loop, and villains are unlikely to gloat about their plans to a random victim they kill. That's not even going into the psychological impact from dying has on him, and as a result rather than doing so deliberately to learn new information like in most cases of the trope, he's even more scared of dying since it's just pain with the promise of more pain in the aftermath. While he does strive to save his friends, more often than not he fails and has to watch them die horribly, and at the start of several loops has to deal with people he considers good friends treating him like a stranger. This leads to a sense of isolation, since he knows when people's lives are in danger, but has to be careful about how he tells them for fear of them just ignoring him, or worse, suspect him of being the cause. All of the above results in him becoming a psychological and emotional wreck as early as the second arc, and spends an entire loop in the third in a state of catatonia.

One Degree of Separation
 Re:Zero / int_959cb9aa
comment
One Degree of Separation: Crossed over frequently with Early-Bird Cameo, Chekhov's Gunman and Foreshadowing. As shown in the world map, the continent Subaru found himself in is a landmass apparently floating in a massive void, wide enough for only 4 countries to form upon it. Accordingly, given that the main characters of the story are people of importance or renown the land over, there has been several past meetings between then prior to Subaru showing up that continue to have a bearing on Subaru's own journey. These are shown in side-stories or the EX novels. "The Love Song of the Sword Devil" - The Younger Wilhelm Van Astra crossed swords with the Demi-Human Strategist Valga Cromwell in a secret passageway underneath the Royal Palace, Which is how Valga, now known as "Old Man Rom" was able to sneak into the palace in an attempt toe rescue Felt in Arc 3. He also opposed the magical stratagems of the Artificial Human "Sphinx", a failed creation of the Witch of Greed Echidna, her appearance identical to the 26 clones of Ryuzu Meyer that Subaru would later encounter inside the Sanctuary. Sphinx was apparently killed by the past incarnation of Roswall Mathers, only to show up as a resurrected Corpse Soldier during the events of Arc 8 and attack Subaru and his allies. "The Love Ballad of the Sword Devil" - The Younger Wilhelm fought a duel with the legendary Vollachian warrior Eight-arms Kurgan in the streets of Pictat, and Kurgan would be resurrected to oppose Wilhelm and the rest of the Royal Selection Candidates during the events of Arc 5. The duel was instigated by the machinations of Stride Vollachia, a disgraced member of the Vollachian Royal family line and the prior Archbishop of Pride. In the unofficially translated 3rd volume, Stride's plans would see him killed by the same black dragon he summoned to attack Lugunica, leaving the position of Pride open amongst the Witch Cult, informing Petelgeuse's belief that Subaru was the next archbishop of Pride that allowed him an advantage against the Sloth Archbishop during Arc 3. The events of Arc 4 eventually have Emilia forced to confront her Dark and Troubled Past, revealing that the freezing of Elior Forest was due to an attack instigated by the Witch Pandora directing the Archbishop of Greed Regulus Corneas to aid her in achieving some unknown objective involving Emilia. Regulus' actions forced the then-sane Petelgeuse to absorb the Witch Factor of Sloth despite his incompatibility with it, steadily driving him crazier the more he used the power to hold them off. Regulus himself would play a role in Rem's name getting eaten by Lye Batenkaitos, and his encounter against Subaru in Arc 5 would later result in Subaru using the absorbed Sloth factor from Petelgeuse to aid in Regulus' death. Pandora using illusions to trick Petelgeuse into fatally injuring his love interest Fortuna, Emilia's Parental Substitute, completed his descent into the gibbering loon he is by the present and pushed Emilia past her Rage Breaking Point, overclocking her ice abilities in a futile attempt to kill Pandora until the whole forest was frozen. It's furthermore revealed that Pandora was the actual killer of Theresa van Astra during the White Whale's failed subjugation, and is hinted to have been the one that resurrected her as a corpse soldier in Arc 5. ""Record of the Days Before the Royal Selection: Diplomacy by Bloodshed" - This features appearances from Vincent Vollachia and several of the 9 Divine generals, all of who would go on to play a role in Arcs 7 and 8, after Subaru is unceremoniously teleported into the Vollachian country and the middle of a Civil War, forced to ally with Vincent to survive. The novel also showcases Julius' duel and eventual victory against Balleroy Temeglyph, one of the Divine Generals who apparently betrayed Vincent and tried to launch a coup on him, in actuality, a elaborate Batman Gambit orchestrated by Vincent to enable to signing of a ceasefire agreement between Vollachia and Lugunica during the royal selection. This event would be discussed in Arc 6, and in Arc 7, Subaru would wind up allying with Flop and Medium O'Connell, Balleroy's adoptive siblings. Furthermore, Balleroy's given motivation for his actions was to avenge the death of his elder brother figure Miles, A Vollachian spy killed by Reinhard whilst on a mission in Lugunica, the event of which was shown in "Felix Argle's Curse". "Crimson Shadow" - This would show Priscilla's past as Prisha Volachia, explaining how she was ousted from the Royal Selection without dying, alongside how she parted ways with her loyal servant Arakiya in the event that cost the latter her left eye. Arakiya would later turn up in Arc 7 and serve as a frequent opponent for Subaru in several locations. Furthermore, the novel also features Prisha triumphing over her elder sister Lamia in the Royal Selection, and Lamia would be resurrected as a sentient Corpse Solider at the climax of Arc 7. "Vermilion Swordwolf"- This novel showcases Al's near-meeting with Priscilla on the Gladiator Island, as well as High Countess Serena Dracroy winding up owing Priscilla a debt for protecting her during an attempted insurrection on the island. Subaru would wind up trapped on the same Gladiator Island in arc 7, and Serena would turn out to be a valuable ally for Vincent during the civil war during the same arc. The novel also reveals that both Miles and Balleroy were originally low-level soldiers under Serena's command. The novel also introduced Ubrik, apparently just a male prostitute for the female gladiator's enjoyment and the instigator of the uprising, but is later in arc 7 revealed to actually be a Stargazer, one who follows the commandments given to them by the stars, and his prophecies have greatly shaped the course of Vincent's own actions as Emperor. Ubrik would later meet Subaru during arc 7 and continue to have a hand in advising what course of events they need to take, with it being implied he instigated the failed rebellion as a necessary step to achieving his grand commandment.

After Rem's speech to Subaru at the tail end of his extended Despair Event Horizon, she convinces him that they can start afresh, and he can can become the hero she sees him as, a man worthy of becoming Emilia's knight. Subaru, despite his self-loathing, decides to move forward and start using everything he's learned from his failed loops to make a happy ending for everyone, marking the start of his true heroic tale.

Better to Die than Be Killed
 Re:Zero / int_99298c71
comment
Better to Die than Be Killed: Subaru sees this as his only option when in the clutches of the Witch of Envy as there is the possibility that he will be absorbed, making Return by Death unless someone managed to kill the Witch of Envy, something that even the 3 strongest characters in the universe failed at centuries ago.

Seven Deadly Sins
 Re:Zero / int_99a7aa94
comment
Seven Deadly Sins: The Sin Archbishops of the Witch's Cult, as well as the Witches of Sin. The Witches were the original bearers of the so-called "Authorities", unique magical powers inherited through absorbing the "witch factors" after the previous holder's death. After the Witch of Envy, Satella, went insane and supposedly killed and devoured the other Witches, the factors wound up inherited by the Archbishops of the nascent Witch's Cult, an organization supposedly dedicated to the worship of the Witch of Envy. Note that, though the Authorities will always display a power vaguely themed after their aligned sin, the strength and exact nature of the ability depend heavily upon the user. Since Satella is still technically alive, there never was an Archbishop of Envy. All the Authority bearers are named after celestial objects like asteroids, important stars or constellations in Earth's night sky, which strongly hints at an explicit connection between them and the protagonist Natsuki Subaru, whose name is the Japanese word for the Pleiades cluster .

Foreshadowing
 Re:Zero / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The White Whale first appears in episode 16, but was mentioned way back in the first episode as part of Old Man Rom's password. This makes one wonder if the other parts of the password, involving poisoning a rat and a noble dragon lord, might also hint at something even farther into the plot. (Subaru does get "poisoned" by a spell in the second arc, and some other characters have mentioned an apparently important dragon.) Subaru's death in episode 18 also subtly foreshadows Petelgeuse' ability to possess people upon death, something that directly leads to Subaru's later death in episode 23.

A good example is the transition from Arc 3 to Arc 4. After so many troubles, Subaru manages to defeat the Witch Cult, take his revenge on Betelgeuse, defeat the White Whale, gain the approval of the knights and the other Royal candidates, and gain the forgiveness and acceptance of Emilia. Arc 4? Rem gets her existence UnPersoned by the White Whale, Crusch gets incapacitated, Subaru is unable to undo these incidents, members more dangerous than Betelgeuse and Satella and Echidna show up.

Died in Your Arms Tonight
 Re:Zero / int_a6bd0685

Episode 15. The psychological trauma of the last loop breaks Subaru's mind, leaving him nearly catatonic. Rem tries bringing Subaru back to the mansion, but the witch's cult attacks them on their way, and kidnaps Subaru, only for Rem to try and save him. Betelgeuse, the archbishop of sloth, breaks down Subaru's psyche and seemingly kills Rem, then horrifically maims her body while Subaru is forced to watch, screaming bloody murder. Betelgeuse leaves Subaru to die, but soon afterward Rem crawls over to Subaru, breaks his chains, confesses and dies in his arms. To top it all off, Subaru carries Rem's body back to the village, once again finding a massacre, and then watches as an enormous monster erupts from the mansion, turning everything into a snowy apocalypse, and decapitates Subaru with a glance.

Leave No Witnesses: Subaru's first encounters with Elsa end this way. In his first interaction, Old Man Rom is already dead, and presumably Felt as well. He is then attacked from the shadows by a mysterious assailant, and Emilia is killed shortly afterwards as well. In his second interaction, he almost gets away with it, until he mentions returning the item he was attempting to barter for back to the owner, prompting her to kill them again. His third interaction almost ends the same way, until Reinhard shows up to save them.

Chekhov's Skill: In episode 12 it is stated that ground dragons have a blessing which allows them to remove air resistance for them and their riders. Subaru accidentally discovers that this blessing doesn't work if he were to move too far away from the ground dragon. This effect comes back when Petelgeuse tries to catch the gospel that Subaru threw, making him drift far enough that the blessing no longer works. It leads to his death as it opens him up to multiple attacks from Subaru.

 Re:Zero / int_ad9559e6

Arc Villain: Several, usually tied to one or more arcs. Arc 1: Elsa. Arc 2: The Mabeasts attacking the village and Meili, who's controlling them. Rem also acts as an antagonist for a portion of the arc, before Subaru manages to earn her trust in the final loop. Arc 3: Petelgeuse and the Witch's Cult. Arc 4: Several. Roswaal and Echidna are the two main instigators of the conflict. However, the Great Rabbit and Elsa and Meili serve as two secondary antagonists. Garfiel and Ryuzu also serve as antagonists until Subaru manages to earn their trust, similar to Rem. Arc 5: The Witch's Cult. Arc 6: Similar to arc 4, there are several concurrent antagonists. The tower itself acts almost like an antagonist, and towards the end of the arc the group is attacked by the Archbishops of Gluttony and the Witch of Envy. Arc 7: Cisha Gold, Todd, and, at the end Sphinx.

And he can't tell anyone about his "Return by Death" curse either, leaving him to suffer the mental pain of it all alone.

Loophole Abuse: Reinhard mentions that he could do a lot of things after saving Subaru and the others from Elsa, but decides to look the other way, because he wasn't on duty that day. Unfortunately, once he sees the item that Felt stole from Emilia, and notices that the gem inside it is glowing, he forcefully apprehends her, stating that while the theft of the item is of no little significance, it pales before the crime that he'd just discovered to have happened and that he'd be committing by leaving things be. It turns out that he's taking Felt in because she's another potential candidate to the throne.

First the 'save points' are set automatically, and usually within a few hours to a few days to the event that kills him, leaving him little time to train, since his physical abilities also reset. What's more, while he may learn some details of their plans, he can still be blindsided by things he wasn't present for in the last loop, and villains are unlikely to gloat about their plans to a random victim they kill.

Take That!: Reputed among Japanese circles that Re:Zero is this to the extremely prevalent "isekai" stories which all use Gary Stu NEET protagonist that come from another world, shallow characters that are little more than caricatures, and heaps of women who fall at their feet in response the main character solving their problem. In response, Re:Zero makes Subaru extremely weak and useless, has side characters that almost actively dismiss him, as well as calling him out for expecting something for saving people.

Trapped in Another World
 Re:Zero / int_b58642b1
comment
Trapped in Another World: Played for Drama. Every time Subaru dies, he goes back to a certain "checkpoint" in the story. Once he's dealt with the threat to his life, he tries to live peacefully in this new world until a new threat arises and a new checkpoint is established. Unfortunately, every time a threat is dealt with, the checkpoint is immediately established, so if Subaru can't deal with whatever is threatening him without undesired consequences, he's stuck with them.

One Twin Must Die
 Re:Zero / int_b58bc88e
comment
One Twin Must Die: The story of the birth of Ram and Rem refers to the belief from Japanese folklore, as their oni's people must symbolize medieval Japan and Japanese demons in particular. And so, in the people of these girls it was customary to kill the born twins, as it was considered a bad omen, and because very often the twins shared horns for two, because of what they had weaker abilities than their other tribesmen. However, Ram is a very powerful mage, so powerful that she is considered incredibly talented, so the girls manage to survive. And ironically, all their people are killed after 10 years.

"Groundhog Day" Loop: Subaru's "power" consists of him reverting back to an earlier point in time, with him remembering everything that happened in his previous life. Though useful, especially since all the other characters have no recollection of any of their previous interactions with him, he still tries to avoid getting killed, as he also remembers the pain from any wounds suffered before dying.

Should Subaru fail, he will be forced to attempt to clear the Arc as the Gospel has spelled the future out as.

He also reveals knowledge of astronomy that turns out to be useful to interpret important characters' Stellar Names.

I Cannot Self-Terminate: In episode 23, Subaru gets possessed by Betelgeuse and asks Felix and Julius to kill him. They reluctantly agree to do so. Episode 32 starts with Subaru angry at Beatrice for saving and prevent him from committing suicide as he desperately tries to avoid a checkpoint in a failed timeline. However he is killed by Elsa shortly after. The same episode presents a much more agonizing version when Garfiel imprisons Subaru for three days. Subaru spends this time reminiscing on all of his failures, wondering if everyone in the mansion has already been killed and most of all, wishing for death. Contracted spirits are unable to commit suicide since it counts as a violation of their pact, an action contradictory to their nature. This is a source of agony for Beatrice, who spent centuries waiting for someone to kill her.

Extra-Long Episode
 Re:Zero / int_b96fdd94
comment
Extra-Long Episode: The first episode was double-length. For the rest of the series, the show had many instances where either the OP or ED sequence (or both) was skipped, allowing the studio to squeeze additional time into the episodes, and in some instances even commercial breaks were skipped. This allowed for many episodes to have runtimes that were closer to 26-27 minutes long (vs. the typical 21-23 minutes a normal anime series would get). In what must be some kind of record, the last ten episodes of Season 2 were all over 29 minutes long.

What If?
 Re:Zero / int_bad22526
comment
What If?: The novel has a couple of scenarios taken differently, with all of them being posted on special occasions, usually on April 1st, Subaru's birthday: On Rem's birthday, web chapters come out for the Rem IF, also known as Sloth IF, alternate timeline where Rem and Subaru fled the country to go to the more Japan-esque Kararagi. They end up having children and leading a happy life, but because of their fleeing a lot of plot threads are still left hanging and all of their companions at the mansion are dead. This IF story received a full side story novel detailing the months before one of their children was born. On Subaru's birthday comes the Ayamatsu/Pride IF timeline, where Subaru goes insane from constantly repeating the first loop and becomes a powerful enemy all for Emilia's sake. Then there's the Butterfly's Dream/Lust IF timeline, where all of the royal candidates, along with Rem and Petra, end up in Subaru's harem. The Oboreru/Wrath IF timeline involves Subaru snapping and becoming an Evil Overlord mob boss called the Purge King and Emilia developing a twisted case of Stockholm Syndrome after being kidnapped by Subaru and Puck. There's a Kasaneru/Greed IF timeline, where Subaru agrees to become a test subject for all of Echidna's weird experiments. Emilia seems to become unhinged in this timeline as well. The "Tsugihagu/Gluttony IF" timeline comes as an offshoot of Arc 6, where Subaru ends up partners with Shaula and still has his memories lost.

Episode 14. Subaru gets word that Emilia is in trouble and leaves with Rem to save her, but when Rem leaves him for his own safety, he forced on to Arlem (the village outside of Roswaal's mansion). The end result though, is that he's Late to the Tragedy: everyone in the village has been slaughtered by several oddly polite cultists and Subaru discovers Rem's impaled corpse in the Roswaal Courtyard.

Translator Microbes
 Re:Zero / int_bf487e2b
comment
Translator Microbes: It's not clear how everyone is speaking the same language—presumably it's got to do with whatever magic summoned Subaru in the first place. Also, the microbes are inconsistently effective—"slangier" Japanese words are apparently untranslated and confuse the listener, like the honorific "-tan" or the loanword "OK", while more "conservative" words are used by characters native to the setting or (when used by Subaru) pass without comment, such as -kun or "pierrot" (a common loanword for clown). Japanese suffixes and such spoken by any character other than Subaru are not actually being said. They exist because of the language syntax of Japanese necessitating them, so that the reader can understand the relationship between the characters. So when Wilhelm calls Subaru-dono he's actually saying Sir Subaru, its western equivalent. It's purely meta convenience.

Mi'raj: One of the Three Great Demon Beasts created by Daphne is the Great Rabbit. The Great Rabbit is a massive Hive Mind mi'raj colony that is carnivorous and insatiable. Daphne had created it to solve hunger because the Great Rabbit can instantly regrow its numbers, thus being a perpetual source of food, but Daphne also gave it her own endless hunger. One-on-one, the separate mi'raj have the benefit of being deceptively cute and in the possession of sharp teeth, but it's the sheer amount of bodies of the Demon Beast that is the true danger. At one point, it was estimated that there were 80.000 separate bodies. The Great Rabbit is effectively indestructible because its death would require every single body to be killed, so Beatrice uses the Al Shamak to lock it in another dimension.

"Vermilion Swordwolf"- This novel showcases Al's near-meeting with Priscilla on the Gladiator Island, as well as High Countess Serena Dracroy winding up owing Priscilla a debt for protecting her during an attempted insurrection on the island. Subaru would wind up trapped on the same Gladiator Island in arc 7, and Serena would turn out to be a valuable ally for Vincent during the civil war during the same arc. The novel also reveals that both Miles and Balleroy were originally low-level soldiers under Serena's command. The novel also introduced Ubrik, apparently just a male prostitute for the female gladiator's enjoyment and the instigator of the uprising, but is later in arc 7 revealed to actually be a Stargazer, one who follows the commandments given to them by the stars, and his prophecies have greatly shaped the course of Vincent's own actions as Emperor. Ubrik would later meet Subaru during arc 7 and continue to have a hand in advising what course of events they need to take, with it being implied he instigated the failed rebellion as a necessary step to achieving his grand commandment.

Hope Spot: A staple of the novel. If anything begins to look too favorable for Subaru, expect shit to go down soon. A good example is the transition from Arc 3 to Arc 4. After so many troubles, Subaru manages to defeat the Witch Cult, take his revenge on Betelgeuse, defeat the White Whale, gain the approval of the knights and the other Royal candidates, and gain the forgiveness and acceptance of Emilia. Arc 4? Rem gets her existence UnPersoned by the White Whale, Crusch gets incapacitated, Subaru is unable to undo these incidents, members more dangerous than Betelgeuse and Satella and Echidna show up.

The Dulcinea Effect
 Re:Zero / int_c6538cc6
comment
The Dulcinea Effect: Subaru practically invokes this after getting Trapped in Another World; being Wrong Genre Savvy, he figures he must be there to protect some cute girl, and after seeing Emilia searching for her insignia, he figures it must be her and decides to help her. The trope doesn't truly kick in until the two of them are murdered by Elsa the Bowel Hunter, triggering Subaru's Return by Death for the first time, at which point Subaru becomes determined to (and eventually unhealthily obsessed with) helping and protecting her. Ram and Rem come to feel that Subaru is acting like this towards them but in their case, they have only known him for a day, but Subaru (and the audience) has actually known them for quite a bit longer. This being a Deconstruction, he's called out on this trope at every turn, even by Emilia herself, and ends up going through absolute hell.

In the anime, the ringtone used to Signal the appearance of the white whale from Subaru's cellphone is the op theme from the 1970's anime of A Dog of Flanders (1975). Fittingly, The name of Subaru's ground dragon from the same episode is the same as the dog's name from the book, Patrasche. In the Memory Snow OVA, the Snow Festival is introduced with a theme that suspiciously sounds a lot like the James Bond intro.

She Is the King
 Re:Zero / int_cadbe2b3
comment
She Is the King: Every candidate for Lugunica's royal succession is a woman, but one of them is still going to crowned "king." A past "Master Swordsman" was also a woman, though this may be a fault of the translation. The Japanese title translated as "Master Swordsman" is 剣� Romaji"kensei" where the first kanji means "sword" and the second one i.a. 'priest', 'sage' or 'master'. The most natural translation would be "swordmaster", and Japanese has no feminine counterpart (cf. English master/mistress). Thus, while the Japanese version does indeed carry a masculine sense for historical reasons, only the English translation uses an actually gendered term.

Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends: After becoming an Official Couple with Emilia, Subaru's Unresolved Sexual Tension with Rem is put on standby after the latter is promptly put into an indefinite coma and erased from everyone's memories by the Archbishop of Gluttony. It promptly restarts once Arc 6 emphasizes how much she means to him, and once she's finally awoken for Arc 7, how her amnesiac self still experiences lingering feelings for Subaru.

Cassandra Truth: An especially notable and tragic example of this happens with Rem. She can literally smell this world's version of the Devil on him and therefore has pretty good reason to assume he's working for her. In the loop where they confront each other, nothing he says, even when choking the words out through his tears, manages to change her mind. Another example would be the time Subaru tries ask Crusch for help to fight the Witch's Cult and is ignored due to the Witch's Cult spreading false rumors about where they'll appear multiple times.

Cerebus Syndrome: The story starts off relatively light hearted in the first arc where that stakes are low and the main problem is solved relatively easily. Then comes the second arc which starts to test Subaru's mentality and psyche. Then last comes the third arc, as well as the end of the prologue, and starts the beginning of Subaru's journey and assaults his psyche like a battering ram and if he fails, he has to watch the slaughter of an entire village as well as his loved ones.

No Periods, Period: Rem leaves the kingdom with Subaru in Sloth IF in order to marry him and live with him. One day she is injured in an attack and the doctor finds that the injuries are minor, but also that she is three months pregnant. Rem herself had no idea about it. So one can assume that she does not have a period because she should have noticed her pregnancy by not having one. In fact, Rem is not even human, but rather an oni. It is speculation that onis' bodies function differently than humans' in this regard.

Subaru then admits equally loving both girls and intends to marry both of them if Emilia gives him permission. However, the story continues to position Emilia as the only main female heroine and Subaru's One True Love. Also, Rem spends a chunk of the series in a coma and her romantic involvement with Subaru gets seriously downplayed as a result.

Breakout Character: Rem is beloved by the fans for her more fleshed-out personality when compared to the main heroine Emilia, and her cuteness. Her loyalty and unconditional love for the main protagonist has made many to consider the relationship between Rem and Subaru as the Fan-Preferred Couple. In fact, despite the apparent Ship Sinking when Subaru admits that he loves Emilia following Rem's own confession, Rem might not end up as a Romantic Runner-Up as Subaru mentions he wants to marry both girls in the novel. There is also a "What If" chapter featuring Rem and Subaru becoming a couple. Rem is so popular that a hug pillow of her had to be delayed due to unanticipated demand. She has also won multiple character popularity polls, earning 50% of the votes in Crunchyroll.

Assimilation Backfire: Once Louis Arneb eats Subaru's memories and finds out about Return by Death, she thinks that's the ideal power to have the most perfect and happiest life since the user can undo any of their mistakes and failures. Wishing to steal Return by Death, Louis creates a copy of herself and uses it to possess Subaru's body. Louis then discovers that she vastly underestimated the critical mental damage and trauma experiencing your own death over and over again causes. After she's out of Subaru's body, Louis doesn't care about having the perfect life anymore; all she can think now is how much she doesn't want to die again. After breaking into the Pleiades Watchtower, Roy tries to devour the soul of Reid Astrea, the legendary original Sword Saint. However, it quickly becomes apparent that Roy literally bit off more than he could chew, as Reid's soul overpowers Roy's, effectively resurrecting the legendary swordsman.

Functional Magic
 Re:Zero / int_dfe120e5
comment
Functional Magic: The story features three distinct forms of magic, though only one of these is seen as "proper" magic, while the other two are considered to be powers of a different sort, albeit all three are supernatural: Magic with a capital M is a combination of Rule Magic, Force Magic, and Inherent Gift magic. Every person in the world is born with a Gate, a piece of their soul that allows them to store and channel mana through their body. Each Gate is aligned with at least one of the six elements - Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Yin (Shadow), and Yang (Light). Though every person is born with the potential to cast spells, not everyone has a Gate capable of such a feat, and most people allow their talent to remain dormant for their entire life. Those who decide to study and learn to control magic cast spells by focusing on their Gate, imagining their desired effect, and speaking the proper spell (which usually involves a signature word associated with each of the elements (Goa for Fire, Huma for Water, Dona for Earth, Fula for Wind, Shamak for Yin and Jiwald for Yang). The caster can also choose whether he wishes to utilise his own mana or to forge a contract with a Spirit and draw mana from the surrounding atmosphere. Divine Protections are an Inherent Talent distributed to all beings at birth by the Od Laguna, a mysterious thing which is variously speculated to be God, the Soul of the World, or the Creation Box. Allegedly, Divine Protections are received by the people "loved by the world", and cannot be tampered with, copied, or removed. They are simpler to use than proper magic and can take pretty much any form, however, most of them are barely perceptible to their holders. The ratio of Divine Protection holders is 1:100 for useless ones, 1:1,000 for useful ones, 1:10,000 for somewhat rare ones, 1:100,000 for really useful ones, 1:1,000,000 for unique ones, 1:10,000,000 for more than one, and the existence of those with more than one Divine Protection is considered strange. Anyone with a Divine Protection can also learn magic. Authorities are the dark inverse of Divine Protections - themed after the Seven Deadly sins, only nine Authorities are known to exist, yet all nine can become exceptionally powerful if wielded by the correct user. Upon the user's demise, the Witch Factor carrying the Authority will try to find its way into the nearest compatible host, unless preemptively sealed. Authorities cannot be inherited by people with Divine Protections, and should the user be incompatible with the Authority, usage of it will likely result in physical and mental deterioration. Historically, the Authorities were inherited by the Witches of Sin, a collection of highly compatible individuals, until Satella, the Witch of Envy, went insane after taking in an incompatible Witch Factor and swallowed up her fellow Witches along with half of the world, before being sealed away. However, versions of all the authorities found their way back into the world and are now held by the Sin Archbishops, chosen commanders of the Witch's Cult dedicated to Satella's worship.

Decon-Recon Switch: Of the typical NEET protagonist found in Trapped in Another World type stories. Showing first what would happen if a NEET from our world actually wound up trapped in a strange world filled with powerful people and gained a special power, then later showing what it would realistically take for that person to become a hero in this scenario. Because Subaru is weak and unskilled he gets killed very early on and comes back to life only because of his special power (which doesn't lend itself to combat). After going through several cycles of this he starts exhibiting signs of PTSD from all the trauma. In addition, his lack of social skills ends up causing serious problems for himself and Emilia later in the story, prompting a self-inflicted "The Reason You Suck" Speech where he acknowledges all of his failings and how powerless and useless he is. He gradually becomes a hero in his own right by learning from his mistakes, relying on his wits, using the information he gains through each cycle to his advantage, and relying on people that are stronger than him to make it out of battles alive.

Historical Villain Upgrade: The Witches are nowadays regarded with both dread and loathing, so much so that merely saying their name is taboo. However, as Subaru and the audience came to find out, none of the Witches are truly evil with most of them having different concepts of morality and some of them had good intentions when they were alive. Even Satella is a far more sympathetic character than history tells her to be. In Satella's particular case she suffers from having her own Jekyll-and-Hyde situation in the form of the Witch of Envy personality.

Antiquated Linguistics: While not nearly as noticeable in the anime, in the novels Emilia tends use out archaic words like "dullard" or "dunderhead" that a lot of old people would use to play on her actual age. The four main Ryuzu speak in an old-fashioned Japanese that is used by the elderly, as an indicator of their real age. Priscilla speaks in a regal and antiquated form of Japanese, including the use of the archaic feminine pronoun "warawa" for herself. Melakuera spoke in a robotic manner while also using archaic pronouns.

 Re:Zero / int_e54563eb

NEET: Subaru Natsuki is shown to be one, as he's introduced as unemployed and frequently references all of the light novels he read and the games he played before being transported to another world. He eventually, however, becomes what is considered to be the ultimate deconstruction of how such a person would actually work in real life, culminating into one hell of a tearjerking "The Reason I Suck" Speech in Episode 18. All the suffering he goes through up till then has been, to his self-loathing and realization, to be the result of his rotten character, a person who has done absolutely nothing productive his whole life, in spite of having all the time in the world, foolishly thinking that all the knowledge he gained from doing nothing but gaming and bingeing on anime, manga and light novels, that it could get him a better life in another world simply by being teleported there, only to find this to be not at all what happens. He states multiple times at that point that he hates himself for it. Case in point:

 Re:Zero / int_e567510d
comment
Garfiel deconstructs Determinator. His resolve to keep the people of the Sanctuary safe from any outside threats is impressive, but how he goes about it involves preventing anyone from leaving, and he has little hesitation harming others to do so. This same mindset prevents him from acknowledging the flaws in such an approach, or even considering that he might be wrong, forcing others to take extreme measures just to get him to listen. It's later revealed that this resolve comes from being forced to witness his mothers death, and was ultimately undertaken so he wouldn't have to face the reality of the situation, leaving him stuck in a state of denial for years.

The Archbishop of Gluttony, Ley Batenkaitos, also has similar powers. By consuming a person's name and memories, no one, again except Subaru, is able to remember the person. While Crusch only suffers from Laser-Guided Amnesia, Rem falls into a coma and no one except Subaru can remember her.

A Hero to His Hometown: Kenichi Natsuki is something of a local celebrity in the community he lives in, getting along with everyone from high schoolers to the elderly, resulting in his phone having thousands of contacts. This is deconstructed on Subaru's end, as he can't live up the (perceived) expectations of being Kenichi's son, leading to him being a Hikikomori prior to the story.

Deconstructed Character Archetype
 Re:Zero / int_ec9a5f50
comment
Deconstructed Character Archetype: Subaru deconstructs Groundhog Peggy Sue. While in most stories such an ability allows a character to solve problems with ease, either by using the loops to become strong enough to defeat any foe or using foreknowledge to foil any enemy plans, here several shortcomings are presented. First the 'save points' are set automatically, and usually within a few hours to a few days to the event that kills him, leaving him little time to train, since his physical abilities also reset. What's more, while he may learn some details of their plans, he can still be blindsided by things he wasn't present for in the last loop, and villains are unlikely to gloat about their plans to a random victim they kill. That's not even going into the psychological impact from dying has on him, and as a result rather than doing so deliberately to learn new information like in most cases of the trope, he's even more scared of dying since it's just pain with the promise of more pain in the aftermath. While he does strive to save his friends, more often than not he fails and has to watch them die horribly, and at the start of several loops has to deal with people he considers good friends treating him like a stranger. This leads to a sense of isolation, since he knows when people's lives are in danger, but has to be careful about how he tells them for fear of them just ignoring him, or worse, suspect him of being the cause. All of the above results in him becoming a psychological and emotional wreck as early as the second arc, and spends an entire loop in the third in a state of catatonia. Garfiel deconstructs Determinator. His resolve to keep the people of the Sanctuary safe from any outside threats is impressive, but how he goes about it involves preventing anyone from leaving, and he has little hesitation harming others to do so. This same mindset prevents him from acknowledging the flaws in such an approach, or even considering that he might be wrong, forcing others to take extreme measures just to get him to listen.

Easily Forgiven: Subaru can be surpisingly forgiving about being murdered. Being killed by Rem once doesn't prevent Subaru from falling in love with her.

Time Loop Fatigue
 Re:Zero / int_f5367df1
comment
Time Loop Fatigue: Frequently happens to Subaru whenever he's in a particularly devastating time loop where he fails to save his friends. In second arc, he finds he keeps mysteriously dying in his sleep before resetting (later discovered to be due to a curse placed on him). In one loop he finally manages to avoid his fate, but Rem contracts the curse instead. With everyone devastated, Subaru ends up committing suicide in order to reset time and have a chance to save Rem, despite not knowing for sure if he would return. In the third arc, after having watched numerous characters get killed by the Witch's Cult and the White Whale, particularly Rem, he hits the Despair Event Horizon hard and pretty much loses the will to live. When he finally does reset, he's so broken that he tearfully hugs Rem tightly as soon as he sees her.

Detect Evil: Some non-human characters can smell the "Witch's Scent/Miasma" on people who have received favor from the Witch of Envy, or are otherwise somehow connected to her. This serves as an immediate tip that a character is not trustworthy or a threat. As Subaru's Return by Death ability was given to him by the Witch, he passively carries the apparently unpleasant stench.

Living Emotional Crutch
 Re:Zero / int_fbd1aeb
comment
Living Emotional Crutch: Subaru and Rem are this to each other. After he saves her from a mabeast attack and helps her overcome her guilt and self-hatred over the loss of her sister's horn, Rem falls in love with Subaru and becomes completely devoted to him. Being by his side and protecting him becomes her new reason for living and as long as she is able to do this she's happy. While she's normally kind, sweet and quiet, she will instantly become ruthless, murderous and violent towards anyone who tries to hurt Subaru. In turn, Subaru becomes very attached to Rem due to her unconditional love and support that she shows him and comes to view Rem as perhaps the most important person in his life. This causes him to also develop feelings for her as well despite being in love with Emilia. Subaru will also go into a rage if Rem is hurt or killed in any way or if anyone talks about her in a negative way. Ram and Rem are also this to each other as well. Rem looks up to and greatly worships her older sister and is murderously protective of her whereas Ram is very protective of Rem who is the only living family member she has left. In one of the failed loops of Arc 2, Ram was very enraged and upset when Rem died from a curse and attempts to avenge her by killing Subaru because she suspected him of being involved with Rem's death. Emilia is this to Pack as Pack says that Emilia is his only reason for living. Should she ever die, he becomes a ferocious beast that he is bent on destroying the world, stating that the world is meaningless without Emilia.

Dark and Troubled Past
 Re:Zero / int_fed93e1b
comment
The events of Arc 4 eventually have Emilia forced to confront her Dark and Troubled Past, revealing that the freezing of Elior Forest was due to an attack instigated by the Witch Pandora directing the Archbishop of Greed Regulus Corneas to aid her in achieving some unknown objective involving Emilia. Regulus' actions forced the then-sane Petelgeuse to absorb the Witch Factor of Sloth despite his incompatibility with it, steadily driving him crazier the more he used the power to hold them off. Regulus himself would play a role in Rem's name getting eaten by Lye Batenkaitos, and his encounter against Subaru in Arc 5 would later result in Subaru using the absorbed Sloth factor from Petelgeuse to aid in Regulus' death. Pandora using illusions to trick Petelgeuse into fatally injuring his love interest Fortuna, Emilia's Parental Substitute, completed his descent into the gibbering loon he is by the present and pushed Emilia past her Rage Breaking Point, overclocking her ice abilities in a futile attempt to kill Pandora until the whole forest was frozen. It's furthermore revealed that Pandora was the actual killer of Theresa van Astra during the White Whale's failed subjugation, and is hinted to have been the one that resurrected her as a corpse soldier in Arc 5.
