He could use his power to reset to learn how to fight, just like the guy played by Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow.
This MC doesn't deserve to win, he is fucking stupid.
>>144316490
Because that would make devolve inhto Kirito and no one likes Kirito.
Seriously its better to be dumb than an abomination like Kirito
subaru doesn't control his resets.
he would have to kill himself over and over hoping he has more than 99 lives.
>>144316490
He is extremely afraid of dying being stabbed. To learn how to fight, he would be stabbed hundreds of times. Altough i think that he should had fought to death that time with Julius, to learn his moves like he did with the Felt's client from the firsts episodes.
>>144316649
But that's literally the plot of Edge of Tomorrow/All you need is Kill
The main character keeps dying over and over until he learns how to wreck shit. His only control over his power is his death. Just like Subaru.
>>144316649
>>144317113
In a previous episode he already embraced his death reset to save Rem's life, why would he not do the same to save Emilia and the villagers?
Wasn't the whole point of last episode that Subaru had gained a new level determination and focus? Why is he still acting just as pathetic as before?
I swear this show is some kind of masochists porn.
>>144317405
yeah but that would make him overpowered and his character will become shonen trash
>>144317405
He has no way of knowing that his revives are infinite
His body returns to a previous state he was in. Even if he learned to use a sword, the witch cult can cast spells, and Betelgeuse has freaking invisible hands that cut and crush what they touch if he wants.
He can't learn magic because his gate is fucked and it would take more days of fixing it for it to return to normal. And even then his mana reserves are fairly shit.
>>144316490
What would the Chosen Undead do in his place?
>>144320965
> He has a chance to save lives
> Doesn't take it because he might die
There are still people who believe in dying.
>>144316490
Dying is painful, can you believe it!?
>>144321100
There are many other ways to succeed that don't involve direct combat. He has an infinite amount of time, before his next checkpoint, to find a satisfying timeline.
Now I don't want this to turn into another "all you need is kill" story, but I would at least like him to acknowledge his potential power and consider it when making decisions. At the moment he's just bumbling about.
>>144316490
because he doesnt belong in that world. this is a deconstruction anon
>>144321417
Yet he has already shown himself willing to an hero in order to prevent certain events. I would have thought after the whole mess of suffering that happened last episode he would have been more open to the idea of suicide since his usual floundering has proven useless.
>>144321234
Be very careful and develop a phobia of fog.
>>144316490
He is learning how to fight. Did you not see the sword training?
>>144321462
How exactly then? For one, he doesn't want anyone to die, and it's only him and Rem.
The cult is strong as shit and is not rational and wishes to kill everyone, and they clearly are organized to an extent. How do you approach this situation to win? The whale in the road is also a problem, he can't reach the mansion fast enough and the other way takes 2,5 days, and the whale will kill those who go through the road.
>>144316490
>Reset powers
>Doesn't become the ultimate Renaissance man through lifetimes of study and painless suicide methods
Clearly he doesn't love Emilia like Phil Connors loves Rita Hanson.
>>144321602
Offing yourself when just a few things go wrong is retarded. Trying to make the best of what he still has and gathering information is his best choice and might save him from having to an hero.
The most surprising thing is that there's still people expecting Subaru to act rationally at this point. Subaru is stupid, insane, traumatized and mad as fuck. What do you honestly expect?
>>144321743
Who says he has infinite lives?
>>144321234
Find a petrified dragon dick and swing it around
>>144321743
The thing is Phil has a fixed savepoint.
Toyota doesn't have one. If he tries to continue after the deaths of his companions the save point might move which would fuck his ideal timeline up.
He literally only has the few days to learn something new and formulate plans before tragedy strikes.
>>144321234
git gud
>>144321674
If he were to fully abuse his curse he could spend an eternity learning everything little thing about the major players in the kingdom and use that information to manipulate them into achieving his goals. It being a magical world I would assume powerful magical artifacts exist which could also be learned of and found/stolen within the infinite amount of time he has.
Even if he doesn't go full munchkin he could at least be aware that he could just reset his day if he bombs spectacularly like he did in this episode. In episode 7 it shows that subaru is willing to kill himself to fix bad outcomes, but since then he has completely forgotten this.
>>144322367
His save point isn't fixed.
If he uses eternity to learn everything the save point might move.
Given that this is a fantasy setting too he wouldn't even be able to go far in say a span of reliving 3-4 days because of the backwoods tech.
>>144321863
No one, but no one has also said he doesn't.
>>144322367
>>144316490
The problem with this is that there's no certainties with his power. He could fuck up immensely like he did today, and then the reset point could then move to right after he talked to the candidates.
>>144322367
>If he were to fully abuse his curse he could spend an eternity learning everything little thing about the major players in the kingdom
1. Why would the witch let him do this?
2. How do you get this info in 2-5 days time?
3. What if it doesn't fucking matter?
>>144321234
Take the souls of the fivecontestants
and kindlehis waifu
>>144316490
Training is useless if you've got your body reset. And his fucked up gate prevents him from training magic.
Edge of tommorow specifically had robosuits introduced as plot point to get around that.
>>144322367
>Spend an eternity
There's your first problem. That's easier said than done, do you seriously think that wouldn't fuck with a person's mind? He's stop being himself if he actually even managed to start on that shit.
Said magical items and other things you speak off would be also fairly hard, he only has a few days, and the info he could gather is limited, and is not like they'd allow him to find out about it in the only 3 days he has.
His save point is also not fixed, he'd be scared shitless of trying to spend more than he currently did in terms of days, only to find out the checkpoint moved forward he doesn't reset his day, he resets to an unspecified point and the reasons are not known.
Also he is not willing to kill himself. He hesitated A LOT. In case you forgot, he reached the cliff in daytime, and slept there until dusk. Only after he found out Rem and Ram weren't heartless and were only acting out against him due to suspicion did he take the jump, because for one the timeline was fucked already, and he was going to get killed by Ram, so he choose the way that would hurt less, but he does not want to die.
>>144322473
It's temporarily fixed until he goes past a certain amount of time or until whoever is setting the checkpoints wants him to move on. Until those points he has a few days to do whatever he wants for potentially an infinite amount of time. He is also currently in one of the biggest cities in the world so his potential for knowledge and tech is very high. Since those in the city also think he is Emilia's knight he has access to many important people and areas. Subaru's current save point is the best he's had so far in the show.
>>144322367
>If he were to fully abuse his curse he could spend an eternity
He doesn't know that it lasts forever.
He does know that each time he dies the witches smell gets stronger.
His deaths aren't free. And even so, killing yourself isn't easy, even if you do just come back to life.
>>144322722
>He is Emilia's knight
He isn't. Did you forget how she herself stated that in front of the council? Even Roswaal played it off as "he doesn't know much about how things are around here".
Everyone knows he's just a butler for Roswaal that talks too much.
>From top to bottom she looked at Subaru as if tasting him, finally clapping her hands together as if giving approval. Feeling the gaze Subaru subconsciously moved to cover himself with his hands, twisting his body as if trying to escape.
>No, stop it~. Just because I’m a boy, if you stare at me like that I’ll get embarrassed you know.
>Don’t say that, honey. You’ve got a pretty good body there, no needless meat. So much so if you weren’t already somebody’s property I’d have a taste myself.
Why isn't Ferris this lewd in the anime?
>>144322609
Since he already went to the edge of madness and back I would have thought his aversion to death would have softened quite a bit, especially since he now knows just how bad the potential future is.
>>144322853
why are cats always sluts?
Even if Subaru learned how to fight he'd never get physically stronger and even Rem would be able to take him. Tom Cruise just needs to get used to his power armor and Subaru has solved his problems far quicker than Cruise did, dude looped a few hundred times.
Being strong doesn't matter anyway as it's quicker to get someone strong to help him and what he needs right now is an army.
Also the aliens in the edge of tomorrow used the same strategy in every life he lived, the exact same number come at him from the exact same side.
It would be really boring if that worked for Subaru anyway.
>>144322939
If only there was a quick and relatively painless death in fantasyland.
>>144322939
It's exactly because he came back, that he doesn't want to return. If you start not caring about your own well being that much even after bad shit happened and you can't exactly die. Doesn't mean you want to taste that pain again.
>>144322832
Emilia says he isn't her knight, but it hasn't been completely clear in following episodes that everyone else believes that. Other characters have called Subaru her knight and even comment that his hysterics are an effective trick suggesting they still believe he is working for Emilia in some way.
Reminder that Tom Cruise would've saved everyone by now
>>144323095
They know he works as a butler in the mansion she's being hosted at that. That's what they mean by working for Emilia, since she clearly cared enough to run off and stop the fight, means he is cared by her.
The whole "you're her knight" is played off as a joke by those who saw it.
>>144323144
He was an army guy from the start, he had enough physical abilities. The only thing he needed to learn was how to use the power armor.
Subaru is literally a weak neet.
>Throwing her arms out She wrapped around Subaru’s neck and snuggled up next to him.
>“Uh, eh, eeeh!?”
>“Don’t move. I’m checking something out right now.”
>Since they were about the same height, her face was now right next to Subaru’s. Her voice whispering directly into Subaru’s ear, his whole body felt like it was being tickled. His face turned red from the sensation. He looked to his surroundings for help, finding Rem loitering near the mansion’s entrance he instantly turned pale.
>She had on a blank face, one could see from afar she was unconcerned with what was happening. Towards the now gasping Subaru, Rem gestured her hands in a small mincing motion. It wasn’t like this gesture had any meaning in particular, but the intent was clearly conveyed to Subaru.
What is this male cat?
Would you drink her piss from a teacup?
So hey, i know we're trying to think how the characters are thinking and all that, but what was up with Subaru asking about someone who was never there in the first place near the end? Is he going insane?
>Dies over and over.
>Doesn't update his journal once.
Don't really get accusations that Subaru is selfish. If he were, he'd just fuck off and let Emilia and the entire village die
>>144323195
They made it a point in the movie to show that Cruise was in fact not an army guy, just a pretty boy the army was using for propaganda commercials

Ya'll promised me Subaru would break out his spoon this episode. Did they cut it out to keep from being completely unlikable?
>A while later, Subaru returned to his room to find Ferris lounging around inside. After some failed attempts by Ferris to tease him with cutesy gestures, the two began the treatment process, however Rem noticed that Ferris was acting suspiciously, causing her to join the process, eventually making him stop for the day. However, before he left, Ferris told Rem that it wasn't entirely a lie that he did what he did out of consideration for Subaru. Not understanding what the problem was, Subaru asked her what happened, which she answered by telling him that since the mana across his body had been receiving interference from Ferris, it made him prone to accepting whatever he said.
No seriously, what is this catman?
>>144323319
He's self centered. He's not a bad person really, but is fairly flawed in some aspects.
Wtf is opening all those fucking threads for a shitty anime.
>there is no respectable middle ground between "incompetent sperg" and "gary stu"
>you need to remain a cringe-lord, the second you try to do anything useful or smart with your reset power you somehow become overpowered and ruin this oh so subtle plot

Literally just ignore.
Also this isn't a general board.
>>144323217
No that was because the White Whale consumes memories after killing people, only subaru remembers because he's from another world.
>>144316490
Because Mitsubishi exists
>>144321743
Phil looped hundreds of times before he decided to improve himself, then thousands of times to improve. Subaru's looped about a dozen.
>>144321658
yeah... right.. still got his ass kicked and it still as weak as shit.. his only power is to annoy everyone and make watchers of the anime drop it
>>144323411
No one is saying that. We're basing his actions off of how he has acted already, and he has shown to be self centered most of the time, and still fairly afraid of dying.
He's laos a normal teenage boy, you can't expect him to be that great.
Sure, it's be nice if there was a middle ground, but he's not supposed to be one.
>>144323465
At least try to act along with my joke goddamit.
>>144323507
>...
Fuck off.
Are some people actually expecting that Subaru will become a competent OP fighter and beat everyone?
At this point this series has become akin to a torture porn movie.
People only watch to see the "spectacle" of gore and misfortune that happens due to Subaru's frailties.
I think I'm dropping this. This is just becoming drama for drama's sake. They lingered too much on Subaru's "suffering" with how stupid and naive he can be that at this point it ruined the show for me already.
This show maybe for you masochists and waifufags but this isn't for me.
I've said this before and will repeat until the end of the Re:Zero threads
Subaru is an unlikable tool. If you feel any pity for him, you are what's wrong with the human race
How much will Anastasia charge if I ask to cum inside her?
>>144323568
I'm expecting him to turn into a true villain.
>>144323606
Not much considering you'd be dead if you even tried to get close considering she always has mercs around her.
>>144323603
I pity him you edgelord
>>144323583
See you next week.
What the fuck is even the point of the white whale in the grand scheme of things? We have enough shit going down already with the Royal Selection and the Witch's cult. Does this white whale have any part in any of this or is it here literally just to face fuck remfags repeatedly until it cums blood? Is there a point to its existence other than to cause suffering?
>>144323583
okay
>>144317812
Finally someone speaking some fucking sense. Hope he has to reset so he can use the knowledge he gained from being played by all the empress candidates to teach them some humility
>>144323668The cultists are attacking because of the whale. It's blocking the main road to Roswaal's mansion so they're using the whale as cover so even if news of their attack is sent, they'd take forever to reach there because teh whale is blocking the fastest route.
The whale is also there, because it got attracted to Subaru's smell.
>>144323687
>>144323644
No really, I've liked anime my anime with the fair share of drama and moodiness like Ryvius and Texhnolyze but I don't just see merit in what Re:Zero is doing.
>>144323338
The power levels kept everyone at the same range of power in EoT, Subaru can't damage shit isn't autistic enough to waste an eternity looping.
>>144323701
Don't worry he will.Anastasia's teaching were the most valuable honestly. He will set up the "table" before he tries to negotiate next time.
>>144323512
>No one is saying that

>>144316580
>>144318434
etc.
>>144323568
he isn't completely shit, after all he managed to beat some streetrats unarmed
he'll propably get some better darkness spells in the future to become a mid-tier fighter
>>144323668
Seemed like some sort of natural disaster to me. Like a tornado blocking a valley crossing.
I thought Reinhard was the MC?
>>144323583
His suffering is mostly self-inflicted though. He keeps fucking up and because of it he faces concequences. It's an interesting approach to a main character, given that he'll keep suffering (thanks to w/e the spell of rebirth is called) until he actually starts making the right decisions.
>>144323668
The whale isn't going to do anything to Rem.
>>144324259
What happened at the end of that ep? Don't tell me Rem and the merchant buddy who bought oilwill stop existing in the next ep?
>>144323568
no, we just expect the plot to not be underwritten and for characters, especially the main one, to have consistent personalities.
>>144323964If what that the LNfags say is accurate, Subaru gains a weaker version of Sloth's power after he beats him.
>>144324337
What Subaru's doing is pretty consistent though.
>>144324323
>>144323144
Tom Cruise spent dozens of loops (implied in the movie) before he started doing things a lot differently.
>>144323366
It would endlessly be used to post at people asking to be spoonfed.
>>144324432
He also was dealing with incredibly more dangerous scenarios than Subaru
>>144324432
But he got his shit together once he realized he could abuse his loops. Subaru seemed to understand the power of his loops in episode 7, but hasn't done shit since then.
>>144324432
actually anon tom cruise would of taken the same amount of time if not less time by the final loop because from 3rd or 2nd person perspectives they are not aware of the many loops tom looped, we, the audience are only privy to tom's loopings purely for entertainment value, therefore the series would have ended in about 1-3 episodes because the last loop is "canon"
the tom cruise moovie would be like watching the infinite eight episodes of that anime meme show but we watch all eight episodes at the same time instead of watching the same show with the exact animations week after week
>>144324432
I remember reading somewhere that in the AYNIK LN the MC spent over a lifetime's worth of loops before they even got to the climax of the story.
>>144324432
>>144324914
This
Pretty sure the ruse cruiseman had hundreds if not thousands of off-screen resets.
>>144324804
Subaru doesn't want to restart after every little thing. He will live out every loop as if it was his last, until he fails to protect someone's smile. Killing yourself repeatedly is retarded, which he already learned in the manor when he used one loop to gather information.
>>144316490
Putting asise that any muscle training would reset, he doesn't control when he respawns, so it's extremely risky.
>>144324896
Death is a failure to him, not a tool to make his life easier upon reset. It's inherently negative because you fear what'll happen afterward and you regret what you left behind. This is why Subaru was so stressed when killing himself after episode 7. Not only did he need to save everyone, but he also needed to keep his relationships intact with everyone. His relationship with Emilia during his first life was different than his relationship now. Even though he's given a second chance, it still sacrifices something on a personal level.
>>144324804
There's literally a what if scenario written where Subaru decides to abuse his loops. Spoiler: It doesn't end well.
Who the fuck would even want to spend 10 years repeating the same day just to pick up a skill? You would literally go insane becase during that time all your relationships with other people would be irrelevant. You would be living in your own bubble all alone.
>>144316580
How would that be anything like Kirito? Why is Kirito even the first character you come up with you casual?

>>144316490
He has to be dumb and useless in order to justify having such a broken ass passive. If anyone with a brain had a respawn power there would be next to no tension unless others were aware of it, in which case they haven't been so far.
This show is a poor man's Steins;Gate.
>>144316490
As other anons have already mentioned.
Any physical improvements would instantly reset, he can't train magic because his gate is currently fucked and he has no tutor and it is entirely possible that his reset point could end up moving up if he spends too much time training, leaving him in a position where even if he becomes strong enough to save everyone he would no longer have time to reach them.
In other words, it would be completely pointless.
>>144325632
Who cares about hte what if. The shit that subaru goes through means he GOING to die and he going to leave things behind.
There nothing you can do. You going to die, might as well make use of it.
>>144326035
Well the only other person aware of it is whoever is setting the checkpoints (may or may not be the witch) and the show could have played off that angle. Subaru could have started to use his loops to reach the outcomes he wanted only to be thwarted sometimes when the Witch? moves up the checkpoint once her goals for that loops have been completed. It could have developed a detective angle as Subaru now tries to do the best he can in his loops while also trying to figure who is pulling the strings and what their goals are based on how the checkpoints are activated.
>>144326035
Okabe was likable, focus was on the science.
Subaru is about how much of a shit he is and what he wants to do.
>>144326210
that would be smart.
But the MC and the writer isn't going to do that.
Do anime studios still do that thing where they announce the 2nd season in the last episode?
All these anon who say, "Subaru should just keep killing himself", but you tie one up and saw off his thumb and he starts crying like a bitch.
>>144326309
We'd be used to dying by the amount of times he has.
>>144326210
there are stories like that, they usually aren't that great.
Subaru's great because he's sucking and getting told as the MC, its a tragic failure.

What did he mean by this
>>144321234
Why are you asking? We already know what he would do. Be Orange's manservent and get good luck bullshit in return.
Why does this series have so many adorable lolis?
Is it bad that I like the idea of Subaru as a girl being bullied hard?
>People still get upset when they see a character have an unlikable personality
>Same people want the main character to use his power in a "smart" way and never care about dying because he'd have complete faith in respawning
This show would be worse and with no tension. I WANT to see this guy be a shit. It's wonderful how much of a selfish asshole he turned into while other characters point out how shitty he is. He's taking the consequences and he's slowly learning from them. It's how I wanted Charlotte to be before that show went on to become the worst show I've ever seen.
I know that enjoying a negative personality doesn't seem to make sense, but you need to have an open mind about it or else you limit yourself to stale character archetypes.

If Subaru was a girl, there would have been doujins of her getting raped by the delinquents, or actually whoring herself to get help about Betelgeuse by now.
If only.

>>144326916
>still have common sense or think logically
It's easier to think logically when you're sitting in your computer chair watching the conflict from outside. I bet you have a 10-stage plan on how to have a 3-way with Rem and Emilia in front of Betelgeuse's grave, but I think that different people having different ideas should be actual common sense.
Should be, but it isn't. Because fuck anyone who thinks differently from you.

>>144327123
When Subaru got really pissed in the negotiation with Crusch, he started advancing upon her with a spoon only to be stopped by Wilhelm.
The only change was Subaru started walking towards her without the spoon.
>>144326778
It's not so much that we want Subaru to be likable and smart, we just want his whole character arc to stop treading water. He continues to learn new things about himself and the world, but never acts upon that knowledge and continues to make the same mistakes.
I don't mind if a character is unable to change, but then something else has to change in the story. The show keeps teasing at these possible turning points for the character only to back peddle. MC suffering seems to be the only idea this show has its getting really old.
>>144323668
The whale is one of the seven sins - gluttony like betelgeuse is sloth. IIRC subaru gets an ability from both of them once they're defeated because he is the closest compatible person.
>>144327031
Goddammit I want this SO BAD. This is the true suffering.
Why is is that there are tons of stories where guys nearly die and get their shit kicked in but stories with girls like this are nonexistent?
>>144327179
Why does he do this? It makes no sense.
>>144326696
Are there such things as not adorable lolis
>>144327155
Now that would certainly add a new layer to this series.
Shit, I actually want a series that does this now. Maybe if it's fantasy you could throw in some random race changes too. Also every other character's memory changes to accept the new appearance as being how the MC always was every single time so it all seems normal to them.
>>144327126
People have learned to ignore pain without dying.
>>144327182
Its about him being incompetent but winning with others help. Thats what happened in the first two arcs. He only gets to do well enough to continue to suffer.
>>144327123
It's exactly what it looks like. During the scene where he approaches Green Hair and the butler steps in his way, instead arms himself with a spoon and threatens her with it, to the cringe of everyone else.
>>144327231
To show Subaru isn't really in a sound state of mind if he's trying to threaten people with a spoon.
How does one get a girlfriend like Ferris?
>>144327179
That was a pretty good change. He actually looked like he was going to do something crazy and desperate without even realizing it.
So novelfags, does Mazda ever learn to use his 1337 Kewl Shadow Powers any further, or do they simply drop it due to his damaged gate
Kind of hyped for evil and mindrapey shadow realms
You too have known loss, and that loss torments you still. You hope hatred might someday replace the pain, but it never goes away.

I had a dream about re:zero last night, no involving re:zero characters but it involved me fucking up and accidentally throwing a grenade into a crowded church full of innocent people and to undo the horrible thing I did, I had to kill myself like in re:Zero. I had a grenade and everything but I could not do it, because I was petrified of it hurting.
This anime is literally affecting me on a subconscious level. Holy fuck.
>>144327337
He repairs his gate later on but his shadow powers aren't anywhere near as strong as the original owners.
So in the first timeline was that actually the lonely witch he talked to and every timeline since has been a proxy for her in the alternate timelines she's sending him to.
I want to spread Mimi's pussy and admire her cervix

Ask Felt for help.
I'm certain she'd be all like "Fuck yeah! Let's go shank some fools." and hopefully you could drag that sword saint guy along with her since he's pretty damn powerful. Probably bring some fodder knights as well, that would also be useful due to just how many cultists there are.

Reinhard was gone away from the city, which was mentioned by Subaru, and Felt has no real allies besides him and Old man Rom, who is a jobber.
I'm assuming they didn't show Felt because she isn't a bitch but she couldn't help subaru either.
>>144322507
>1. Why would the witch let him do this?
Why *wouldn't* the witch let him do this?
Satella's precise motivations are not very clear, but while she seems to have a particular agendaand that agenda seems to involving gathering the various Authorities in Subaru, she obviously needs Subaru alive to carry it out. She only threatens him when he attempts to reveal precisely what's going on and he can actually lie about it if he wants (which hasn't been demonstrated in the anime).When others realize the nature of his power, she kills them instead of killing Subaru and resetting the loop.She even seems to place save points at places that are relatively convenient to Subaru's - and only Subaru's - continued survival and success (although his emotional state and feelings on the matter are plainly disregarded). There is no indication that Satella is averse to allowing Subaru to take as long as he needs to solve the many and various problems that face him.

he didn't really ask for help the first or second time, the third time he needs to start a literal war with the most powerful people in the country
>>144327539
No, but I was a soldier and I do not remember much of the plot but someone was pulling a gun on me, and I had a grenade launcher. I was planning on shooting them first but I missed and blew up a church.
>>144327601
Reinhardt is the hero this world needs but doesn't deserve.
This shit is the most frustrating thing I've ever watched. You would think he would learn to be smarter about things and strategize a little more instead of the impulsive wreck he is now... God, I hope this gets better.
>>144327585
He absolutely cares about the villagers too though.

Clown fag is away
I dont know why I bother replying to people who don't actually watch the show
>>144327601
Fuck you Reinhard, we're only in this mess because you decided to fuck off
>>144327570
Is it even confirmed that its Satella? Wasn't there speculation that its a future version of himself based on the fact that somebody in a tower(I forget the name) called him Master? Plus the arm that threatens subaru is the same one from the sloth authority and there is only one(which we know subaru eventually is able to only control a single shadow arm)
>>144327607
Why the fuck would you shoot a grenade launcher at a single unarmored enemy?
Also what kind of soldier is afraid of pain?
Dream you needs to harden the fuck up son.
Why doesn't he just get eaten by the white whale?

I want to slam a bat into that face.
I can understand the hate for Crusch but she did have a point though. Subaru was burning with murderous intent to the point of saving lives became secondary.
The time Crusch said he never once said that he wanted to save Emilia was a fucking slap to Subaru's behavior.
He's so broken as a character now that I hope they have time to fix him up.

>Also every other character's memory changes to accept the new appearance as being how the MC always was every single time so it all seems normal to them.
I was thinking the same thing. Also, something like this can change some events. for example the classic "accidentally fall and grabe some tities". If is boy, slap in the face and less one "reputation point". If is girl, nothing happens and no "point loss".
>>144327557
No. I mean getting the shit kicked out of them until the're coughing up blood and their face swells with welts and bruises. It's so rare. Even in "hardcore" shoujo shows.
>>144327671
>They run when they realize you lied
Duhh dumb nigga unless you are retarded you don't let them find out while it's too late
>Your carriage is now so overburdened you're too late
Are you dumb? I specifically said leave early than compared to all his other loops to balance it out and the carriage is big as fuck.
>Clown fag is away
Yeah i meant when he comes back dumbass.
Didn't say right way he would.
>>144327694
Dude, I'm just a normal person. I've never been a soldier. It was a dream, so dream logic never makes fucking sense. The only real thing that I felt was not wanting to fucking die by killing myself. ITs like asking you right now to break that beer bottle over your head and stab yourself in the throat. You would hesitate because you know you will chock on your own blood and still be alive for at least a minute in intense pain.

hyped emotional shit. MC even can't process: "hey if something goes wrong I just need to die, that's easy" cus some series already do that and proved that it is bad for the money. but no. This actually focus on catch your attention on how stupd dramatic MC is and so.

>>144327951
Its tragic anon, you're not here for him to win you're there for him to lose.
>>144327917
I refer you to another character who encountered a similar scenario and was still tolerable to watch (I'll give you a hint, the character was played by someone that rhymes with Rom Bruise).
>>144327963
He has the stench of the Witch. They worship the Witches. Ergo, they thought he was one of them. When he showed up with Rem however, they recognized his as an enemy.
>>144327963
They had already done their job at that point, they probably just thought they'd encountered a superior along the way and showed him the proper amount of respect before leaving.
Where do I get a Rem girlfriend. That fucking dedication. She doesn't even care that he's a loser.
She's super adorable and basically perfect.
>>144327963
I figured it was because he had the witch's scent and they are the cult of the witch so I assumed they noticed it and payed respects but after the kidnapping episode I have no fucking idea it seems like it was just so out of nowhere now.
>all these bernie sanders tier plebs not understanding the true genius and pragmatism of Crusch
I pity you all
[Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu](/s "Alright so this is my first time posting, and basically i'm posting cuz i read some summaries of the light novel, and wanted to tell everyone what is most likely going to happen in the rest of the anime. Also, yes I'm a bad speller so bare with me. So let's start at end of episode 16, The white whale is the creature that Subaru see's, and is going to be a big plot point, so basically if the white whale eats you, you cease to exist and everyone forgets about you, that's why no one remembered that guy in the cart, cuz he got eaten, well except for Subaru cuz hes the MC so he has to remember. Anyway after this subaru is supposed to die some more until he finally pulls his head out of his a** and uses his loops to his advantage. So basically he eventually gets those 3 queen candidates to agree to help him, but thay must defeat the white whale first cuz he's apparently in the way, for them getting to the mansion to save Emilia. And apparently the old man, the one that can see what's in Subaru's eye's, lost his wife to the white whale, so he want's revenge, and apparently is the most powerful motherf****r around since he has some sort of ability that allows him to gain any ability necessary to to win a fight, something like that. So after Subaru gets there help, they head to kill the white whale, but they die a lot, and it takes subaru a few trys to get his company a win, without anyone dieing. After they beat white whale, they head to Emillia, and to kill the cult. Again they die a lot, and Subaru has to keep looping until he finds a solution to that creepy cult leader that has an invisible hand ability that keeps killing everyone, Subaru's new save point at this point is right after they defeat the white whale, so he doesn't have to go back as far. Eventually Subaru figures out how his ability works and they kill him, and they save everyone.
>>144316649
>>144317405
In All you need is Kill, Keiji literally was wearing power armor, didn't feel his own deaths, had a constant hard reset where he knew he'd return to exactly the same point, over and again, and right at the brink of devolving into a frothing lunatic, he met Rita, who experienced the same thing,
Subaru's situation is similar but vastly differs in key elements.
>>144316490
The author is intentionally making subaru fuck up constantly just for shock value at this point.
I mean come one literally everything that seems like a glimmer of hope for him gets shut down. Like a fucking whale out of nowhere? You can't be serious.
Fuck this edgefest. The author definitely takes out his stress on this guy.
>>144328057
You wait to die or kill yourself, that way you're freed from this shit plane of existence and go somewhere where dreams come true
>>144327963
Betelgeuse probably died in that timeline.
How the fuck does he not know what happens to Remafter the whale fight and before the mansion battle? Is Subaru stupid or what?
>>144328078
>>144327833
It was not just because of best boy. You see, Crusch actually stopped him from leaving in a sense.
The problem is that he had too much Pride and the way he views all his deeds are favors. Which is entirely wrong and the worst side of himself.
Now with all the spoilers floating around. I can understand him much better now.
>>144327804
Well I guess I'm just judging your dream self by the standards of my own dream self. You see, the me in my dreams is very brave, perhaps not that smart but very brave nonetheless. In one dream a bunch of people got caught by a giant who was eating them, so I ran to save them even though I'm just a normal dude and would almost certainly die in the attempt, probably quite painfully as the giant was a very messy eater (it was quite a graphic dream).
I've also been hit by a car, shot by aliens, eaten by zombies and fallen in a big hole with spikes at the bottom, every time saving someone else. In my dreams I seem to have no self preservation ability at all so I'd probably off myself no problem if I knew I was coming back. But I guess everyone's dream self is different.
>>144327851
>play DCSS
There's your problem.
Well if the player was as much of a fuckup as Subaru, I'm sure they'd die like a bitch to something stupid.
Subaru did nothing wrong. Turbocunt royal's are shit. SHIT.

Armor is literally fucking nothing compared to the mimics who'd rip the shit out of it.
And he did feal pain from dying, he just accepted it was the only way things were gonna work out. Also isn't that one hand faggot with the bitch the same as subaru?
>>144316490
I had this problem early in the mansion arc. He should have been full recon, learning, training etc groundhog style ever since the shit at the bar. Better yet BEING ENDORSED by elfshit and grinding levels right under the nose of that house hold would have been great. Every fucking morning without question they were not completely hostile even with 'smell' leveling up.
If the author wanted us to view the smell as a bad thing they could have written a set time limit of number of loops before witch just gives up resetting. As bad as he smells, he's got puck, elf, Reinhardt, felt at minimum for vouch. It could make any move he makes after that iffy, but at least the resets would enable him to learn about the world and the shit effecting him.
The series is riding on the fact that he's obsessed or unwilling to just run off from emillia for a few days and learn.
He started genre savvy (with relation to games, which were wrong), then learns to use his loops for learning, then gets obsessed and stops for a while, then researches again to save oni. Dying might be painful, but fuck you're trapped in someone else's game. You revive that their mercy, die at their whim, you are fucking trapped.
I'd also thought why can't he use a roundabout method to talk about his situation? Point to words in a dictionary, write fragments then point to their order, surely some kind of mind magic.
>>144328126
Shitposting is illegal. Fuck off.
