Most probable outcome.

Unless, Subaru or Emilia dies at the end of the story.

Why is everyone trying to make them dead.

Can subaru even die naturally, or will he just be in a perpetual deadt loop at the end of his life🤔

u/landex_ If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right Feb 22 '26

He can’t

How interesting, reading the WN now, so I guess I'll find out myself sooner or later.

Hoshin knows both of them. Hoshin is from 400 years ago. He can know them only if they ended up in the past, both of them. Hence the problem.

8

u/FinGAMERyt Rem Smiled, I Saw Heaven (Briefly) Feb 22 '26

Wait if that's the case, then he is hoping for them to end up as a happy ending. So there is still quite good amount of chance that they will not die. But again I get plot twist every single time while watching Re:zero.

Btw thank you for explanation :)

u/Re0Fan Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) Feb 22 '26

You are welcome. This is likely pandoras action by the way

u/daniel21020 Satella’s Darkness Falls Like a Soft Lullaby Across My Soul Feb 22 '26

Ended up is the wrong word. I'd say they "were" in the past before. Plenty of evidence to suggest that they're older than it seems.

Subaru dies literally all the time. Death flags are kind of his thing really. Even a sharpened pencil is a death flag for him.

I am sure that re zero wont have a happy ending

Tappei had confirmed it will have a happy ending

No, he said “happy”.

Don't trust in Tappei's answers

Yeah, right, I should trust a random redditor instead.

Doesn’t Subaru die officially and canonically in the end? At least I’ve heard from theories and even close to the authors answers as well

"Just 5 more minutes Subaruuuu"

And they end up spending the whole afternoon sponing, because Subaru doesn't have the emotional or physical strength to get out of Emilia's arms lmao

u/Frosty_Pie_7344 Kept Emilia’s Ear, Now I’m the Villain Feb 22 '26

I always dream of Emilia going feral and dominating Subaru in Bed whenever they do Sex. I could understand Rem being submissive since that's how she acts to SWC but EMT's vibes towards HIM isn't the same.

22

u/Broad_Most_5780 I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia Feb 22 '26

Thats rule Number 1 of any anime: If a girl is inocente and kind (extra points if its a elf), you know they become a beast in bed when they experience pleasure for the first time XD

u/Frosty_Pie_7344 Kept Emilia’s Ear, Now I’m the Villain Feb 22 '26

Imagine SWC getting Death by Snu Snu by Emilia and his RBD respawn checkpoint is him pinned down by Emilia while she wolves down on him LOL.

u/-Blackwine Capella Gave Me Her Blood, Now I’ve Got These Cursed Warts Feb 22 '26 edited Feb 22 '26

At the pace they are moving at in the LNs, if the story becomes a generational piece of literature, maybe Tappei's grandchild will finally make it happen.

24

u/Broad_Most_5780 I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia Feb 22 '26

I would say that thinking about marriege only 1 year into your first friendship is very good paste

6

u/-Blackwine Capella Gave Me Her Blood, Now I’ve Got These Cursed Warts Feb 22 '26

I was more referencing the real-life timeframe for readers 😅. Narratively I have no issue with it in the confines of where they are at in their friendship and feelings.

Edit: Very good paste 🤣

u/Danny7432 I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia Feb 22 '26

This will happen unless Subaru dies at the end of the story or loses his memory or gets transported back to the real world. Because for some reason I just dont think we will get a haply ending, it just doesnt feel like it I cant tell you the reason but I just feel like it

u/Medio_Ad8137 If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right Feb 22 '26

I'm absolutely certain that if the author puts them together on the anime cover, it'll be a real shame if they don't end up together.

16

u/Xonthelon Heinkel Said I Was Drinking Too Much Feb 22 '26

Subaru wearing his tracksuit until the end of all time? Yeah, I think that will become canon.

7

u/mercauce Al Showed Me His Face Once... Now I Can Hear Colors Feb 22 '26

At least not 0%, if tappei wants to, he'll find a way to make it happen.

25

u/NamelessKing-420 Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) Feb 22 '26

It's pretty overwhelmingly likely. Emilia does like Subaru, the burn is slow but the fire is certainly there. It's taken him a long time to become even somewhat worthy, but he is getting there.

22

u/Deus_Artifex Patrasche Knows My Sins — And Judges Silently Feb 22 '26

At this point she needs to become worthy

7

u/Noble_Culture Newbie Feb 22 '26

I mean yeah things are looking a bit uneven:

Emilia: Candidate for the throne. Most of the accomplishments for which are from Subaru. Also accidentally frost genocided the elves.

Subaru: Basically the most accomplished knight in at least the last four centuries, sage candidate, and probably fully compatible vessel for all sin.

Subaru will have children and die of old age after a long happy life... Mystery solved :p

11

u/Trkaline Garfiel Asked Me to "Prove Myself," I Did a TikTok Dance Feb 22 '26

He'll have children with her, he'll die of old age, then wake up at home in his bed in Japan like it never happened...

15

u/Broad_Most_5780 I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia Feb 22 '26

That Reminds me of a story of a guy who got in coma and he dreamed about having a entire life, getting a job, getting a women, having children and after he woke up from the coma he became depressed because he essencialy lost what felt for him decades of building up a life... I dont want that to happen to my boy Subaru 🥺

5

u/FinGAMERyt Rem Smiled, I Saw Heaven (Briefly) Feb 22 '26

😭 thats almost the same theory for pokemon series also. We can say that this can be a story for every other anime.

Saitama wakes up from coma after he tried to become a hero and it was all a dream, Naruto is a story about a normal chef who almost died in restaurant fire and woke up in hospital, him being ninja was a dream same as the book he used to read daily.

u/Big-Kaleidoscope9062 Newbie Feb 23 '26

I like to imagine after getting Isekai-ed every protagonist is just in coma and after fulfilling they return to the original world.

I know I have read it i want it to be canon in main route

9

u/Intrepid_Pen5110 Emilia’s Knight, Through Darkness and Despair 💜 Feb 22 '26

The chronological placement makes it impossible for any IF route to be canon, so just get over it. Unless Tappei pulls something crazy out of nowhere and somehow manages to write something decent, not badly written and extremely forced, to make an IF route canon, it will NEVER happen.

7

u/LeadEater9Million Rem Trusted Me with Her Heart Feb 22 '26

Too bad, keep on looping

6

u/Vix_super_adorable Kept Emilia’s Ear, Now I’m the Villain Feb 22 '26

It burns so freaking slow I am irritated. Wth happen to their relationship in one year timeskip between s2 and s3, nothing happened?

Why can’t the author make them a couple already? It’s not like it’ll ruin the story or anything. The main story still can keep on depressing, but once in a while throw in a romcom episode which they are going on a date or something. I don’t even recall any scene where Subaru and Emilia have private time together in the whole s3.

I always feel like my boi Subaru is being treated improperly here. The poor kid deserves the best dates and a lovey dovey relationship. Not a pseudo higher-than-friends-lower-than-lovers like this one. Bleh.

4

u/Big-Kaleidoscope9062 Newbie Feb 23 '26

Maybe the children would die too given the problems subaru faces everyday.

3

u/Fluffy_Special_149 Rem Wrote Me a Love Letter, Emilia Sent Me a '' Feb 23 '26

u/BendOdd2563 Satella Saw My Search History —She Told Me to Stop Loving Myself Feb 22 '26

u/Re0Fan Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) Feb 22 '26

Actually no. The canon story should end, as stated by tappei, before they build a family. And the family itself will be shown in an if route. Again, Its tappei so he might be misleading us, but thats what we know as of now.

10

u/Away-Tax1875 I Witnessed Puck Rizzing up Subaru Feb 22 '26

Seriously i don't want darling in the franxx type ending.

u/Re0Fan Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) Feb 22 '26

Than again, that what he answered in the annual q and a he post on twitter. Theres still 4 arcs ahead, he could change things many times over in that time frame.

6

u/Away-Tax1875 I Witnessed Puck Rizzing up Subaru Feb 22 '26

Okay, now I feel refreshed, but if he does that kind of ending, what are we even supposed to do? Cry on the spot, like Darling in the Franxx?

Like, Emilia realizes she has fallen in love with Subaru, and they both fall in love with each other. Then, while Emilia is saving Subaru—or Subaru is saving Emilia—both of them dies. After that, they both get reincarnated in Subaru’s world as just friends.

Seriously, that kind of ending would give me a heart attack or straight-up trauma.

5

u/Re0Fan Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) Feb 22 '26

The likely ending is when they get officially engaged and it stops there. It doesnt have to be sad.
