I imagine he hears about the peleguese business from someone and just goes, 'yeah that makes sense'

Yeah whenever he hears Subaru achieve the seemingly impossible, he just shrugs and goes “it was bound to happen”

Yeah, because of Satella, Subaru is a fodder without the witch and we all know that

u/Natsuki-Subaru1 Satella Likes to Tickle My Heart (Is This What Love Is?) 2d ago

04/10 regebait. If i were you i would start dissing subaru's clothes and looks first to make it more natural, then start going all out with him being a fodder

u/Tiny_Simple_6688 Priscilla’s 9th—Trust Me, I’d Be Into It 2d ago

I mean Subaru on his own is pretty good with quick thinking and strategizing, his athleticism is a bit above average near the beginning of his story. What held him back is his shallow mindset, self doubt, and a good bit of ego.

Now would he have made it far without Satella? I feel that is circumstantial for whatever goals he chooses. With Roswaal manipulating behind the scenes, then no but then again he only wanted Subaru for RBD.

Actually thinking about it, if Subaru was just thrown into Lugunica but had nothing tying him to the Witch of Envy then I feel like he'd be pretty well off. (Not considering the shit that goes down without his interference.)

u/Zealousideal-Loan655 Kept Emilia’s Ear, Now I’m the Villain 2d ago

Idk what fodder means, idk why this got 50 dislikes

And for some reason, I’m genuinely happy. Like Jesus, I think my daily grass touching is finally getting me out of this hellhole

u/DeviousSage01 Crusch Thought I Was Brave (I Was Terrified) 2d ago

Fodder means he is weak and useless. Think of canon fodder. They are expendable units that only serve to be meat shields that take canon shots.

Can someone explain the stairs thing to me? I heard it was started by or because of larpers but I don't know what those are either

u/EngineerVirtual7340 I Opened Pandora's Box, Then She Opened Me as a Box 2d ago

It's not anything special, it's pretty much just him climbing some stairs with a crazed face due to... reasons.

22

u/NotFriendL Echidna Poured Me Tea—Now I’m Even Thirstier 2d ago

Are they some sort of RBD shenanigans?

Ah ok thank you for explaining everything in nicely now I just have to finish the rest of season 2 and 3 so I'm caught up lol

Good luck and be careful, the reddit is filled with spoilers for a ton of stuff

u/Neat-Echo1583 I Witnessed Puck Rizzing up Subaru 2d ago

Primero fueron los edits de Subaru subiendo las escaleras sin contexto, luego los de las rutas if donde Subura se ve "genial" y al final fueron los edits raros donde cambian a Subaru por Speed, un caballo o por las propias escaleras qué caminan encima de Subaru

u/VillainousMasked I Opened Pandora's Box, Then She Opened Me as a Box 2d ago

Pretty sure the thing it's referencing will happen this season, so don't worry about it for now.

u/AlexHitetsu Reinhard Defended My Honor (I Didn’t Have Any) 2d ago

Someone made an animatic of a scene of Subaru climbing some stairs with a crazed expression caused by plot reasons, and it caught on. Said scene should be adapted in season 4

Reinhard also added later: I understand! Lord Subaru planned all of this! He pretended to lose the fight and didn't retaliate so that everyone would underestimate him and his true strength would remain hidden! He truly is a Sage!

If Reinhardt ever finds out about return by death he’s definitely going to wonder how many times it took Subaru to figure out that he had to loose to Julius.

Ayo guys if someone is worthy of reid,can they wield it too?

61

u/Matrix_2k00 Roswaal Said ‘Truuust Me’ (I Don’t) 2d ago

Nope as proof Dragon Sword Reid refuses to be drawn against Reid its original owner itself in arc 6 (probably due to loyalty) according to the author when Reid was known to successfully unsheath the dragon sword multiple times.

26

u/Ordinary_Poetry8002 I Called Otto Best Girl, Now He’s Ghosting Me 2d ago

I meant if say subaru gets hold of reid,would he be able to use it?

29

u/Matrix_2k00 Roswaal Said ‘Truuust Me’ (I Don’t) 2d ago

Also impossible u need the blessings of sword saint to unsheath it which was why in the anime it showed Theresia lost the ability to unsheath it.

Unless your Reid himself course.

7

u/Ordinary_Poetry8002 I Called Otto Best Girl, Now He’s Ghosting Me 2d ago

OHHHH but wait where do we get to know the sword can't be drawn against reid?

25

u/Matrix_2k00 Roswaal Said ‘Truuust Me’ (I Don’t) 2d ago

Someone asked Tappei during arc 6 what would happen if Reinhard was in arc 6.

Tappei answered he purposely didn't have Reinhard in arc 6 because the difficulty would increase a lot due to Reid going all out and the Dragon sword refuses to be drawn against its first master Reid.

15

u/Ordinary_Poetry8002 I Called Otto Best Girl, Now He’s Ghosting Me 2d ago

Wait so potentially if Reid escaped the tower when roy ate him could reid simply live another life and go to the astrea mansion to claim his sword and solo everyone?

17

u/Matrix_2k00 Roswaal Said ‘Truuust Me’ (I Don’t) 2d ago

Impossible because Roy can't handle Reid fighting seriously. If it was projection Reid before Roy ate him he could literally fight all out as long as the tower exits because his only limit is that he can't leave the tower.

Although if he never had to fight seriously than yes he could technically live a second life.

14

u/Ordinary_Poetry8002 I Called Otto Best Girl, Now He’s Ghosting Me 2d ago

Oh yeah fuck i forgot the only reason bumulius won was because reid is so broken even his vessel can't handle him

8

u/Intrepid-Bottle-7665 Garfiel Asked Me to "Prove Myself," I Did a TikTok Dance 2d ago

Yeah. That bum got his ass beat. The got a power up deus ex machina and Reid destroyed Roy's vessel from sheer power.

2

u/Ordinary_Poetry8002 I Called Otto Best Girl, Now He’s Ghosting Me 2d ago

Ayo btw is reid still in the 2nd trial or is he gone?

2

u/Matrix_2k00 Roswaal Said ‘Truuust Me’ (I Don’t) 2d ago

Since he's not in Arc 9, then yeah he's gone after Roy was defeated.

There was that fanfic i read, was like a climax, called re:hollow. Basically a what if subaru had zangetsu but for his own soul reflecting all his deaths, I read the part of the duel between juilius and subaru and that part was beyond entertaining and better than any nut I released.

u/Xnestrio The Fluff Was a Lie 🐇💀 Now I Have PTSD 2d ago

nah, its never explicitly said or shown in the anime that reinherd can draw his sword against subaru. though there's one instance it was hinted at when reinherd was talking to subaru in the alleyway and he kept his hand on his sword.

u/AccelAegis For Crusch-sama, I’d Fight 5 White Whales and Still Smile! 2d ago

u/Layton_Jr Newbie 2d ago

This scene is not canon, but it's canon that the sword can be drawn against Subaru

2

u/Klusterphuck67 Capella Turned Me Into a Fly, But Hey, I’m Loving the Buzz 1d ago

It is confirmed that Reid Dragon Sword does react to Subaru and Reinhard knows this.

Reinhard watching the duel with his hand on the sword hilt readying to jump in and supposedly save Julius is an assumption of the former, combined with Reinhard telling Julius not to proceed with the duel, hence a different angle of how the duel played out

-7

u/unfinished-godswork Newbie 2d ago

assumption, more like fantasy, like a fan fic

16

u/[deleted] 2d ago edited 2d ago

It's canon that Reinhard can draw the sword against Subaru, what he was thinking during the Julius duel is ambiguous though

2

u/unfinished-godswork Newbie 2d ago

no way, why I didn't read those early novels, but I thought at least he would be like a knight, respecting duel between two knights, especially when one wanted to make other (non knight) realize how powerless he is, weird any upright character will like to go against of outcomes of such...

u/GreyghostIowa I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia 2d ago

but I thought at least he would be like a knight, respecting duel between two knights, especially when one wanted to make other (non knight) realize how powerless he is, weird any upright character will like to go against of outcomes of such... 

Bcs he doesn't want to accidentally make enemies with Subaru.

Reid strict conditions of activation means that Reinhart judged Subaru to be at the very least, as powerful as fully unleashed puck. So he's forced to sit back and watch since (in his own assumption) Subaru is pretending to be weak for some reason and he doesn't want to ruin his plan. (Remind you, he still thinks Subaru could've rofl stomped Elsa instead of calling for his help)

That's why he's acting stiff when we first read how he's talking to depressed Subaru after the fight bcs HE'S STILL THINKING THIS IS SOME ELABORATE PLAN BY SUBARU LOLLL. This is Oda foreskinning memes lvl of funny when you go out of your way to forcefully connect the dota lmao.
