Capella is finally here! couple things: 1) Capella has one of the biggest simp army fans in re zero 2) She's voiced by the same person who voices Tanya! (main char of tanya isekai) 3) Capella's full name is "Capella Emerada Lugunica". Lugunica is the name of the country that we're in (priestella is the current city).

2024-10-17 01:41:14 +0000 UTCIt's not a spoiler, more like a detail in the novel that wasn't mentioned, but Sirius's Authority *does* affect Reinhard. It just takes him longer than others because he has so many blessing they just look like a list of cheats. Also, making eye contact with her isn't what gets you under her mind control. Merely being within proximity of her is enough. Closing your eyes or covering your ears against her won't save you. It's a really broken Authority.

2024-10-10 05:44:39 +0000 UTCAlso, you probably just forgot, as it's honestly a pretty minor detail in the grand scheme of things, but when Subaru saw all of the timelines after his death, there is no actual confirmation that those were real. Echidna's Tomb is basically an accurate as fuck calculator that pretty much read Subaru's memories and calculated the most likely order of events based on them. That does *not* mean those were real, however. The point of that Trial is to make the tester consider alternate versions of their present self, not beat Subaru over the head with the fact that he recklessly neglects his life. The way Emilia's test went is supposed to be how it normally operates. It was only that harsh of a test for Subaru because he has such a unique case of living multiple versions of events. Using Emilia's second Trial as reference, you can conclude that the events after Subaru's deaths aren't true, but we'll never know for sure without some confirmation from the author. Therefore, Sirus isn't an alternate timeline Emilia that went crazy or anything. To our knowledge at this point in time, no one existing in this world has ever come from an alternate version of the current timeline. Sirus is more than likely just another elf/half-elf with unknown significance.

2024-10-10 05:31:59 +0000 UTCSirius isn't another version of Emilia, and she never "turns" into Satella in any timeline. Main reason why I believe so is because Satella is from 400 years ago, and she is currently still alive. Remember, the Sage and the Dragon are the ones who sealed Satella, and that was because they were unable to kill her. She's still alive, so Emilia physically can't be her. There IS the theory based on Arc 3 that her body can be used as a vessel to bring back Satella, but physically, that's the best connection you can make. The loop where Emilia becomes obsessed with Subaru isn't her turning into Satella. Roswaal put Emilia up to the task of conquering the Trial because his goal was to mentally wear her down to the point that she decides that she can't do anything without Subaru, and that conclusion warps her emotions so that she becomes overly dependent on him. The more likely connection to draw with Sirius's appearance traits is that she could be either Fortuna or Emilia's blood mother. That leaves a lot of questions because we literally watched her die, but it's a more likely conclusion to draw because Emilia being able to "turn" into Satella would completely undermine the world's greatest powers sealing away The Witch of Envy.

2024-10-10 05:13:32 +0000 UTCI could be wrong but I get the feeling the whole Seven Deadly Sin naming convention is more poetic than literal in this series. It’s not so much there are witches or archbishops who are literal embodiments of each sin but rather somebody came up with the idea of naming them after sins and it stuck. There was something that always stuck with me from the opening credits of the Batman Beyond animated series. Different words would flash on the screen and then cut to different characters. The one that always got me was the word “JUSTICE” appearing then cutting to Bruce Wayne. It was like the series was saying Bruce Wayne was the embodiment or avatar of justice itself. There’s one other thing to note about the seven deadly sins. Apparently there were originally nine. That’s why we saw two more in season 2 - Pandora the Witch of Vanity and Hector the Warlock/Devil of Melancholy. In Japanese Hector is called “majin” which is the male equivalent of “majo” which is what the witches are called in Japanese. “Majin” is one of those words that could have multiple translations so calling him a devil isn’t necessarily wrong but Warlock would have made more sense in this context given that he is essentially a male witch. That’s just my assumption of course. Maybe “devil” was the best translation choice and I’m missing something. It’s a bit like calling Ram and Rem demons. In Japanese they are actually called Oni which is a mythological creature that isn’t necessarily evil. Often they are more mischievous than outright evil. I grew up reading fairy tales and myths from all over the world. Stories about gorgons, ogres, giants and goblins. The first time I read these stories I didn’t know what those creatures were but I learned. Calling Ram and Rem demons instead of Oni is an instance where I wish the translators could have trusted the audience to learn about Oni instead. Obviously people don’t want to constantly be looking things up in order to watch a show or read a book but it doesn’t hurt to learn new things from time to time.

2024-10-10 04:35:49 +0000 UTCOne thing that was sort of glossed over in season 2 of the anime - at least in terms of dialogue - was the effect Witch Factor’s have on peoples personalities. Specifically if someone isn’t compatible with a Witch Factor when they absorb it they are usually driven mad. We saw this with Petelgeuse during Emilia’s first trial. He took on he Witch Factor to fight Corneas and it slowly drove him mad. Killing Fortuna was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Up until that point he’d been hanging onto his sanity by force of will. This is why we saw two versions of Satella in season 2. There was the Witch of Envy that possessed Emilia’s body and became a mass of blackness that swallowed everything including Subaru. Then there was the temporarily sane Satella who showed up at the Witch’s Tea Party and asked Subaru to kill her. I’m not sure if Subaru has one or two Witch Factor’s. He has Petelgeuse’s Witch Factor which he used to punch Garfiel with an invisible hand. However I’m not sure if Return by Death is a power coming from a Witch Factor inside Subaru or a power being loaned to him from outside by the Witch of Envy.

2024-10-10 01:36:03 +0000 UTCThe alternate timelines Subaru saw in Echidna’s trial showing what happened after he died weren’t real. They were simulations. All the trials are simulations. Subaru asked Echidna whether every time he died those other timelines continued and she said she didn’t know for sure but that they probably didn’t. The trials aren’t so much about facing realities that exist but rather facing the hangups of the person taking the trial. The trial simulations are created using Echidna’s Tome of Wisdom that Beatrice and Roswaal’s Gospels were inferior copies of. The Tome of Wisdom can simulate possible timelines/futures. At least that’s my interpretation of how it works. I don’t think it can actually see the future but is more like a computer program that can run a simulation to predict the future when it’s given sufficient information. Sort of like Hari Seldon’s Psychohistory from the Foundation TV series and books.

2024-10-10 01:21:37 +0000 UTCyeaaa i honestly can’t wait till they reveal it in the novel (Siris’s true identity) cause i’m ready for theories to be confirmed lol

2024-10-09 22:06:55 +0000 UTCIn addition, there is another theory that will not be touched upon for the whole arc, so I think I can say this. Perhaps looking at Emilia is the wrong move, try to look at someone close to Emilia from the past that loved Petelgeuse, who do you think about? If we had to point fingers and be accusatory, who's fault was it Pandora brought ruin to Elior Forest by simply existing? Who was the key? and if the person I am talking about had to blame someone after going crazy like Petelgeuse, is it, yes, you guessed it, Fortuna? Obviously not Fortuna anymore, otherwise Petelgeuse would have not tried to kill Emilia in the past if he recognised her. I believe the author did this deliberately so that its paralleling with Petelgeuse' fate, so that Fortuna also shares his fate of both going insane, and their bodies being possesed and used for the witch cult by their factors. As for why Sirius is not called Fortuna...Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, and has been associated with prosperity and good fortune in various cultures. In ancient Egypt, the rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile, which brought fertility and abundance. Thus, in a metaphorical sense, Sirius can be linked to fortune or luck. So, Fortuna = Sirius (This is stretching it very far in the theory)

2024-10-09 22:04:36 +0000 UTCI will say I don’t really think it’s possible for Siris to be Emilia even though in the LN it’s not 100% confirmed yet. it wouldn’t make sense for two emilia’s to exist in the same timeline anyways. And in that timeline where she went crazy she honestly looked closer to what satella looked like more than anything else

2024-10-09 21:31:05 +0000 UTCyea I noticed that too. They also cut out the a bit of the clocktower scene, and that Subaru's guard was slightly down at first because he used his whip to throw her down the clock tower or something like that, so he thought he might have subdued her in that moment.

2024-10-09 21:25:59 +0000 UTCHello! As for your question regarding Reinhardt and if he is ''affected'' by the authority of Sirius, yes he was in this scene in the Light Novel. If I remember correctly, in the light novel Subaru tells Reinhardt that Sirius appears to have brainwashing abilities, like in today's episode, but he was sure Reinhardt would not be affected because, obviously he recognises Reinhardt as someone super OP and invincible, he shares this thought with him. However Reinhardt answers Subaru and says that he feels emotions stirring inside of him that are usually controlled, which means Reinhardt is not immune to said ''Brainwashing''. It was a bit quick-paced in this episode so that tidbit was skipped, but I thought it was nice to say becase Reinhardt, albeit the strongest we have seen so far, is not all immune, he just can kill Sirius quickly enough to not be ''brainwashed''.
