Re:zero S2 EP 11
Added 2024-05-18 13:00:04 +0000 UTCnah the way roswaal just killed Ram like it was nothing is so fucking telling. Also, we don't know if his gospel is empty or not, I'm actually so curious. Also, also also betty's section of the episode hurt hard. i HATED having to see her suffer like that man. But truly I was correct in saying Roswaal is here to shape Subaru, not Emilia. He gives no fucks about her.

2024-05-22 18:58:27 +0000 UTCAs others have said, it was Emilia, just very mind broken from being isolated by Roswaal, having Puck and Subaru gone, and failing the trial repeatedly. By repeatedly, I mean the whole time Subaru was at the mansion, she was just doing the trial over and over and over again. We've already seen how much of a toll one try takes on her, so doing it non-stop without a break? The snow is automatically associated with Emilia because one of the things she is known as is "The Glacial Witch" or "The Ice Witch" from her time in the frozen woods of Elior Forest. The glow in Emilia's eyes was supposed to represent the "light of madness". No idea why the staff chose the same effect as Satella's aura from the previous episode to animate that. It made a lot of anime onlies think she was Satella in that scene. Also, that was technically Subaru and Emilia's first kiss at the end of the episode. This will be notable later, so just keep this in mind for now. The episode was titled "The Taste of Death" because the kiss happened as Subaru died and Japan has a thing about first kisses tasting like lemon. As for Roswaal, he knows Subaru can loop, but doesn't understand how it works or what triggers it. He thinks Subaru can just loop when he wants to and that Subaru still dies like a normal person.

2024-05-18 17:31:38 +0000 UTCNow that I think about it that secret that he has to die to restart is his biggest trump card against Roswaal, otherwise he could just fucking kill him as he pleased until things worked out as he saw fit😭

2024-05-18 15:27:23 +0000 UTCSince someone has already mentioned the Emilia thing I won’t. But clarification on the Roswal thing. He knows Subaru can redo things. But he isn’t aware of how he does it. Hence why he beats him up and tries to keep him alive throughout.

2024-05-18 15:17:35 +0000 UTCSatella showing up was a one time thing, Subaru was talking about RBD and she couldnt ghet to him to punish him so she went to the sanctuary

2024-05-18 15:04:07 +0000 UTCYeah as the others have said, that wasnt Satella, it was plain old psychotic Emilia

2024-05-18 15:02:09 +0000 UTCyeah you're close, that was 100% emilia. Subaru leaving without an explanation had her thinking he saw her as useless so she tried and failed the trial over and over again until she turned into that, the darkness in her eyes is just an effect

2024-05-18 15:00:39 +0000 UTCSo little clarification here - this was not Satella. This was purely Emilia this episode, if it was Satella, there would be shadows everywhere like we saw in episode 9/10. The reason Emilia turned out like this is, as Roswaal said, due to the snow isolating her from everyone else. The villagers - both of Sanctuary and Arlam village assume it is Emilia making the snowfall, which led to her being ostracised - combined with Puck not coming out of his crystal as well as Subaru leaving and his letter explaining the situation being stolen and hidden from her, she assumed he abandoned her, which further led to her deteriorating mental state. She assumed he left as she was being useless and unable to complete the trial, so in order to make him return, she repeatedly tried - and failed - to complete the first trial, thus making her mental state completely collapse, resulting in…this. So just wanting to clarify that as a few people mistake that for Satella when in actuality it is Emilia.

My personal take not really knowing more than you is that she and Envy had started blending together here but it was still somewhat Emilia based on what she was saying, but who knows really.
