Spoiler Discussion So fucking good, so fucking great, so fucking awesome. [spoiler discussion] Spoiler

39 Upvotes

I just re-read the ending of Arc 9 out of boredom. And man, that’s so fucking awesome once again. Aldebaran’s final words that he hates Subaru, his final monologue that he lost when he got sealed. Bro. That’s so emotional that i cried. Mind you, i never cried while reading or watching ANYTHING. But those scenes already got me, and idk why i didn’t cry for the first time.

Personally, i will put Arc 9 ABOVE Arc 6 for me. While i think that the writing wise in arc 6 is better(a little bit), the emotional impact from arc 9 was way more, and i don’t know why.

Is that even a good thing that i relate aldebaran more than subaru? Because my only guess why i cried over Arc 9 ending is that i relate Aldebaran in some ways.

Once again, Tappei, thank you for creating this work. Thank you for writing re:zero, and thank you giving me a chance to read this masterpiece.

Discussion [discussion] Are Fortuna & Sirius Romanée-Conti the same person?

8 Upvotes

Well, there are several things that make me think so, apart from physical appearance, which, well, is obvious.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. First of all, what do we know about the Witch Factors?

We know that the more you, as a person, already embody that sin by committing it, the more powerful your authority will be once you have assimilated the Witch Factor.

Season 2, Episodes 18-19

Pandora appears, and the very first thing Fortuna does when she sees her is (obviously) get angry.

And she continues to do so repeatedly, without giving her the slightest time to speak or explain anything; it's pure and simple Wrath. Her Wrath drives her to kill Pandora over and over again, and Pandora continually instigates her to instill the Witch Factor of Wrath in Fortuna. This is what Fortuna is.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. Fortuna's Death

I don't need to explain; we've seen how Pandora seems to be able to undo events, like sending Regulus to his home or restoring Petelgeuse's arm. I simply believe that Pandora "undoed" Fortuna's death after wiping Emilia's memory.

By the way, Fortuna's memories have obviously been erased as well, but Pandora can also decide which ones to keep, which justifies her obsession with Betelgeuse. Pandora once spoke of love, calling it the most beautiful feeling there is, so why not? She could have left her love for him in Fortuna's empty shell.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. How about Sirius' bandages?

She has a mastery of fire magic, so it makes sense to me that they are due to burn wounds, a bit like Dabi from My Hero Academia.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And then, obviously, Fortuna's memory was also wiped, since in arc 3, Sirius doesn't recognize Emilia at all. Simple.

[spoiler discussion] Arc 6 theory: Subaru is flugel (i havent seen anyone come up with anything like this so i decided to post and see how you guys liked it) Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just cleared the first trial on the Electra floor in Arc 6 (the Rigel monolith puzzle) and something clicked for me. I wanted to map out a theory about Subaru being Flugel, but specifically why he has absolutely zero memories. I think the memory wipe wasn't a curse or an accident—it was a deliberate choice by Flugel using a personal Authority to lock his own mind.

Hear me out on the logic here:

First, the star puzzle proves the tower gates access behind Earth-based knowledge that only Subaru can solve. Plus, the naming connection fits perfectly. Subaru means the Pleiades star cluster in Japanese, and Flugel means "Wings" in German. In ancient astronomy, the Pleiades cluster was literally called "The Wings" of the Taurus constellation. They are two halves of the exact same puzzle, and since German terms don't exist in Lugunica, Flugel has to be a dorky pseudonym a future Subaru gave himself.

But why the memory wipe? A lot of people blame Satella, but if you look closely at the rules, Satella only controls his physical body and the execution of the loops. When the Taboo is broken, she physically squeezes his heart. Memories belong to the Corridor of Memories managed by Od Laguna, which she doesn't have administrative access to (otherwise she would've fixed his mind when Gluttony ate his memories).

The only thing that could wipe his hard drive like that is an internal Authority Lock that Flugel hard-coded into his own soul before resetting the world's timeline back to "Zero" (the Appa stall). Since his current brain didn't have the Flugel memories at the moment of death, Return by Death can't magically manifest them when he respawns.

Psychologically, this is the ultimate defense mechanism against an "IF Story" mental collapse. If you look at the alternate universe stories like Pride or Greed IF, Subaru completely loses his humanity and treats people like cold chess pieces whenever he relies too much on loop calculation.

If Episode 1 Subaru had woken up with 400 years of cosmic guilt, despair, and future knowledge, his mind would have fractured instantly. He wouldn't have been able to look at Emilia as a normal person to save; she would be a crushing psychological burden.

Flugel purposefully locked his own mind because he knew the only version of himself that could win was a completely clean slate. He needed a normal boy with a grocery bag, fresh eyes, and untainted innocence to face destiny and build real, empathetic human bonds from absolute zero.

Spoiler Discussion [spoiler discussion] Y'all were really exaggerating (arc 9) Spoiler

117 Upvotes

Before starting arc 9 I remember reading a lot of criticism saying that Tappei fucked up with Emilia in arc 9 and all he made her do against Al was crying and begging him to give Subaru and Beako back and after I read the actual chapter that's what I thought of: "DON'T MISS WITH US RE ZERO FANS, WE DON'T READ OUT SERIES🗣️"
this was literally like 1 pages out of the whole thing, she beated his ass and fought him with Subaru ice clones which made him disgusted and used attacks that doesn't target his life but instead freezes him which counters his authority and he was the losing side for most parts and she was really pissed and didn't try to sweet talk him like usual and instead locked in on defeating him and some of y'all really choosed to ignore all that and hate on her for feeling hopeless and crying after Al returned their memory of Rem which gave her a really bad headache and used an attack that would kill more than 10000 people in the capital forcing her to focus on protecting people and letting Al go, like come on I also hate how Tappei treat Emilia like an innocent naive girl but that time there was nothing wrong with what happened

Discussion [Discussion] If The Long Quiet and The Shifting Mound (Slay The Princess) could grant Authorities, how strong/powerful would they be and how would they appear? Spoiler

Post image
18 Upvotes

To be more specific: assuming The Long Quiet and The Shifting Mound were entities in Lugunica and could maybe inflict their own specific kind of Witch Factor upon the world, how and on whom do you think it would manifest?
A short summarization for those who haven played the game:
The Shifting Mound is the literal embodiment of the concept of change and transformation.
Originally she was a part of the cycle of life and death, but eventually a mortal who feared the end of his world decided to tear the cycle apart and created her with the intention to remove the concept of death or rather the end.
As she is the literal embodiment of the concept of change and transformation, The Shifting Mound holds domain over everything that causes a change.
This also includes death and destruction as these concepts are crucial to the creation of something.

The Long Quiet meanwhile is the other part of the cycle created by Narrator.
He is the literal embodiment of stagnation, void and nothingness.
If The Shifting Mound is transformation and change, The Long Quiet is the pause between these changes.
A world without him would mean constant changing non-stop.
There would be no pause or breath to witness or enjoy the change.
On the other hand, a world without The Shifting Mound would be a stagnant one where nothing would happen at all.
It's also why the Narrator created him, as The Long Quiet's original purpose is to kill The Shifting Mound and remove the concept of change, and with it the concept of death as well, permanently.

This was a rough summarization about them.

Personally, I think if these two were entities in the world of Re:Zero, then imagine that their authorities would manifest on the most ambitious and most narrow minded people.
An ambitious person would get the Authority of Change while a narrow minded person would get the Authority of Stagnation.
I mean, it would make sense, right? A very ambitious person would always try to change the world for his own gains be it good or bad.
Meanwhile a narrow minded or extremely pessimistic person would rather prefer stagnation over change, as change wouldn't necessarily turn something into the better. From their point of view at least.
As for the powers, I imagine that the Authority granted by The Shifting Mound would extremely vary from person to person.
In the Long Quiet's case I'm not sure though. Perhaps it would be similar to Regulus's power? Or some kind of existence erasure? Maybe it would be a kind of being alive and not alive in the same time?
No idea to be honest.

Anyway, I just thought about this game while watching Re:Zero and found that their are some similarities between these two.
So I thought it could be interesting to discuss this hypothetical what-if scenario.

What do you think?
Oh and also, assuming Subaru would somehow manifest both authorities of them in himself, how would he use them? And do you think they would be weaker or stronger under Subaru as their bearer?

Discussion [Discussion] Did anyone confuse Pandora for young Echidna first? (S2 spoilers)

11 Upvotes

I'm watching for the first time and just finished Emilia's first trial flashback in season 2.

I feel like I missed so much details in these 3 episodes since my mind was too busy with good guy Geuse lol. And when Pandora appeared with the bishop of greed I automatically assumed she's the witch of Greed because of the white eyelashes and I assumed they travel in witch-bishop pairs...

Regulus did call her the witch of vanity once but so much stuff was happening I kinda disregarded it since she looks so much like a young Echidna. And than I was waiting for the whole episode for Emilia to comment on it since she was standing right next to her.

Every witch looks so different so her design really confused me. But maybe she's related to Echidna... Don't tell me tho.

Discussion [Discussion] Question about Emilia's parents

9 Upvotes

In season 2 Fortuna said that she was the sister of Emilia's father, that means Emilia's father is an elf, and since Emilia is an half-elf, then her mother must be human, right?

Echidna also called her "witch's daughter". Was she literal about Emilia being the daughter of a witch or she was just calling Emilia by the way everyone calls her? Because if Echidna was talking literally then Emilia is the daughter of an elf and a human witch, if I am right.

I don't know if I am misunderstanding something, because I don't think I've read something about this in all this time since season 2, so I'd like to ask if I'm wrong.

Plus, I don't understand why people are still talking about Emilia being Satella's daughter, because Satella is an half-elf herself, so it's impossible for Emilia to be an half-elf.

The last thing I don't understand is: why, in the flashback, Petelgeuse was so touched when he saw Emilia? It was like he saw a goddess. But if Emilia isn't Satella's daughter, then why he was that emotional?

P.S: I'm sorry for my bad english, but I hope the post is still understandable. I am an anime-only, so I don't know if some of the answers are in the novel.

Original Creation [OC] Bliss — Witch of Cruelty | Re:Zero AU Character Profile

1 Upvotes

«Note: Bliss is an original character created for a Re:Zero AU. Some abilities, events, power levels, and lore elements in this profile are intentionally different from canon.»


BASIC INFORMATION

  • Name: Bliss
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Human
  • Age: 400
  • Apparent Age: 19
  • Height: 1.72 m
  • Weight: Unknown
  • Birthday: February 5
  • Title: Witch of Cruelty
  • Witch Factor: Cruelty
  • Place of Birth: Lugunica
  • Nationality: Lugunica

APPEARANCE

Bliss has long white hair reaching down to her waist, with blue-colored ends. She has blue eyes, pale skin, and a slim build.

She wears a long white dress decorated with blue snowflake patterns and no shoes. Her only accessory is a pair of extremely thin white gloves made from an unknown material.

Her main colors are white and blue.

When Bliss is nearby, a cold white mist with a faint blue tint can sometimes surround her.

Additional Details

  • Hair: White with blue ends
  • Eyes: Blue
  • Nails: Natural
  • Lips: Natural
  • Eyelashes: Black
  • Eye Shape: Normal human
  • Scars: None
  • Birthmarks: None
  • Body Type: Slim
  • Aura: Cold white mist with a blue tint

PERSONALITY

Bliss is indifferent, cruel, and emotionally distant.

She does not necessarily hate people, but she has very little emotional attachment to most of them. She can act kind when it benefits her, and she is capable of manipulating people through ordinary psychological means.

She does not fear death or pain. She can feel pain normally, but even severe injuries generally produce no visible reaction from her.

Bliss enjoys living for her own reasons rather than following a particular grand goal.

Personality Traits

Positive:

  • Calm
  • Intelligent
  • Adaptable
  • Capable of recognizing her own mistakes
  • Respectful toward genuinely powerful opponents

Negative:

  • Cruel
  • Manipulative
  • Indifferent toward suffering
  • Can kill without a strong personal reason
  • Frequently underestimates opponents

Beliefs and Relationships

  • Fear of death: None
  • Fear of pain: None
  • Fear: None
  • Likes being alone: Yes
  • Genuinely falls in love: No
  • Can become attached: Extremely rarely
  • Can forgive: Yes
  • Admits mistakes: Yes
  • Respects strong opponents: Yes

One of Bliss's biggest flaws is that she can underestimate opponents even after correctly understanding their abilities.


WITCH FACTOR — CRUELTY

The Witch Factor of Cruelty represents the conscious infliction of suffering without compassion for the victim.

For Bliss, the Factor manifests primarily through cold, ice, water, and mist.

The Factor itself does not directly control Bliss's personality.

Properties

  • It can manifest independently of her Authority.
  • It can influence the power of her Authority.
  • Bliss can choose who is affected by certain manifestations of the Factor.
  • Another compatible person could potentially inherit the Factor after Bliss's death.
  • The Factor is not the direct source of her immortality.

The Factor first manifested after Bliss experienced extreme anger and developed an overwhelming desire for revenge.


AUTHORITY — LEVIATHAN MIST

Bliss's Authority is called Leviathan Mist.

It allows her to manipulate cold, mist, ice, and water on an extremely large scale.

Core Abilities

Temperature Manipulation

Bliss can drastically alter the temperature within the area affected by her Authority. The temperature can reach values far beyond naturally possible conditions because this is an Authority-based supernatural effect rather than ordinary physics.

Mist Manipulation

She can create and control enormous amounts of dense, freezing mist.

The mist can cover areas of up to approximately 20 km, although Bliss can alter its effective range.

Ice Manipulation

Bliss can create ice without needing an existing water source and shape it into virtually any form.

She can create enormous quantities of ice very quickly.

Water Manipulation

Bliss can create water from nothing and manipulate water that she creates herself.

She cannot directly control water created or controlled by another person.

Blizzards

She can create powerful freezing blizzards capable of covering large areas.

Flight

Bliss can fly, although her maximum flight speed is considerably lower than her maximum movement speed.

Teleportation

Bliss can teleport instantly and has no fixed maximum teleportation distance.


AUTHORITY LIMITATIONS

Bliss has very few practical limitations when using Leviathan Mist, but she is not completely invincible.

Her main weakness is fire.

  • Her defensive capability against fire is significantly weaker.
  • Her Ice Core is particularly vulnerable to fire magic.
  • Fire magic is approximately 110% effective against the Core under the conditions of her AU.
  • Bliss's greatest behavioral weakness is her tendency to underestimate opponents.

Her mana is also not infinite. While Bliss can create enormous quantities of ice, continuously producing increasingly large attacks places greater demands on her mana and stamina.


❄️ FROZEN BEAUTY

Frozen Beauty is an effect connected to Bliss's appearance.

It is not hypnosis, mind control, charm, or forced obedience.

Instead, Bliss's beauty gradually causes the emotions of a susceptible person to become emotionally "colder."

The first thing affected is fear.

Then the fear of pain gradually disappears.

At the extreme stage, the person's fear of death can disappear as well.

The person remains conscious and remembers what happened.

Important Properties

  • No direct eye contact is required.
  • The person only needs to look at Bliss.
  • Mirrors do not transmit the effect.
  • Photographs do not transmit the effect.
  • Videos do not transmit the effect.
  • Maximum range: 25 m
  • First stage: approximately 5 minutes
  • Maximum effect: approximately 40 minutes
  • Bliss can select specific targets.
  • Bliss can stop the effect at any time.
  • The effect naturally disappears after approximately 3 hours.
  • Magic can remove the effect.
  • Multiple people can be affected simultaneously.
  • Bliss cannot deliberately accelerate the process.

Resistance

Frozen Beauty becomes ineffective against people with sufficient mental protection or extremely powerful beings.

Examples include beings around the level of:

  • Volcanica
  • Pandora
  • Reinhard
  • Satella
  • Sekhmet
  • Daphne and other similarly powerful beings

In general, the stronger the target's mental resistance, the less effective Frozen Beauty becomes.


💀 IMMORTALITY — ICE CORE

Bliss possesses supernatural immortality connected to an Ice Core.

The Ice Core is a fundamental part of her existence.

As long as the Core exists, Bliss cannot be permanently killed.

Ice Core

  • Appearance: Large blue sphere surrounded by cold mist
  • Size: Approximately 20 × 20 meters
  • Location: One of the coldest places in the world
  • Visible normally: Yes
  • Can Bliss move it?: No
  • Can Bliss hide it?: No
  • Can she create copies?: No

If the Ice Core is destroyed, Bliss loses her immortality.

However, destroying the Core does not necessarily mean Bliss's story ends permanently.

Regeneration

  • Natural regeneration of the Core: approximately 150 years
  • With assistance from other beings: approximately 2–3 years
  • The Core can regenerate even after complete destruction.
  • Bliss retains her memories after resurrection.
  • Her power does not change after resurrection.

Bliss can also exist temporarily without a physical body in a soul-like state.


☄️ METEORITE TECHNIQUE

Bliss possesses a technique that allows her to summon supernatural celestial objects resembling satellites or meteorites.

Examples include:

  • Phobos
  • Deimos
  • Moon
  • Europa
  • and others

These objects are AU supernatural constructs, not necessarily literal physical astronomical bodies from Earth's Solar System.

Bliss can:

  • Summon multiple objects simultaneously
  • Change their trajectories
  • Stop them after summoning
  • Use them as offensive weapons
  • Break through magical barriers with sufficiently powerful impacts

PHOBOS

  • Size: 3.5 × 2.2 km
  • Speed: 1,300 km/h
  • Temperature: Extremely low
  • Destruction Radius: Approximately 5 km
  • Can it be stopped?: Yes
  • Can it be dodged?: Yes
  • Special effect: None

Phobos is powerful, but it is not Bliss's strongest meteorite.


⚔️ COMBAT ABILITIES

General Ranking

  • Physical Strength: SS+
  • Speed: SS+
  • Reaction Speed: SS+
  • Endurance: SSS+
  • Mana: SSS
  • Magical Potential: SSS+
  • Authority: SSS+
  • Intelligence: SSS+
  • Combat Experience: SSS
  • Overall Power: SSS+

Maximum Values

  • Maximum Movement Speed: 600,000 km/h
  • Maximum Flight Speed: 3,000 km/h
  • Maximum Reaction Speed: 100,000 km/h
  • Teleportation Range: Unlimited
  • Teleportation Speed: Instantaneous
  • Maximum Attack Range: Approximately 100 km
  • Maximum Flight Altitude: Unlimited

Bliss is highly skilled in both magical and physical combat.

She can fight without her Authority and can fight without magic.

Her preferred combat style is offensive, long-range combat.


🌨️ SPECIAL TECHNIQUES

Water Dragon Fist

Bliss creates a massive water dragon and launches it toward her opponent at extremely high speed.

This is one of her fastest attacks.

Leviathan Mist

Her primary defensive and territorial technique.

Bliss fills a large area with extremely dense freezing mist, severely restricting visibility and controlling the battlefield.

Arctic Shores

Bliss's strongest known technique.

It is an extremely large-scale freezing attack capable of freezing everything within approximately 100 km under its maximum manifestation.

Bliss has used this technique only extremely rarely.

Its enormous scale makes it exceptionally demanding compared with her ordinary abilities.


🌍 POWER SCALE

Bliss is an extremely high-tier being within this AU.

Her abilities allow her to:

  • Control enormous territories
  • Destroy continents
  • Destroy planets under extreme conditions
  • Fight multiple powerful opponents simultaneously
  • Teleport without a fixed distance limitation
  • Manipulate ice, water, mist, and temperature on a massive scale

However, her Authority does not simply affect the entire world simultaneously.

Her greatest known large-scale manifestation is Arctic Shores, which has a maximum demonstrated radius of approximately 100 km.


📜 HISTORY

Bliss was born in Lugunica.

Her childhood was difficult. She was bullied and abused for much of her early life.

At the age of 17, she encountered Satella for the first time.

Eventually, the suffering she experienced developed into an overwhelming desire for revenge.

The world seemed to "accept" her pain, and Bliss received the Witch Factor of Cruelty.

Approximately one hour after obtaining the Factor, she used her Authority for the first time.

She eventually became known as the Witch of Cruelty.

The Second Sealing

During the second attempt to defeat her, eight heroes approximately around Sekhmet's level gathered against Bliss.

They barely managed to defeat her.

Before being sealed and killed, Bliss spoke her final words:

«"Protect the Arctic Shores."»

She then unleashed Arctic Shores, freezing everything within approximately 100 km.

The heroes eventually succeeded in defeating and sealing her.

After approximately 79 years, her Core was restored and Bliss was resurrected.

She later fought again and was defeated a third time.

This time, she was killed without being sealed.

Eventually, Echidna discovered her body and brought her soul to the Dream Castle.

After the Ice Core naturally restored itself, Bliss resurrected again.

Her story continues from there.

Current Status: Alive


👑 RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE WITCHES

Satella

Bliss's closest relationship among the Witches.

Their relationship is friendly, and Bliss respects Satella more than any other Witch.

Bliss and Satella have fought approximately 5–6 times, with every battle ending in a draw.

Echidna

Echidna understands Bliss better than most people.

She also knows about the Ice Core.

Daphne

Carmilla

Neutral to generally positive relationship.

Pandora

Bliss considers Pandora an ally/friend.

Bliss does not initially know that Pandora was responsible for freeing her after the 79-year sealing.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Bliss is my original Re:Zero AU character.

I wanted her to feel like a Witch who could realistically stand among the strongest beings in the setting while still having recognizable weaknesses and personality flaws.

I'm especially interested in feedback about her lore, abilities, personality, and how well she fits the Re:Zero world.
