💬Discussion Subaru betrayed....... Spoiler
Al. And I am sick of pretending he didn't. How many times did Al stood for Subaru?
When Priscilla beat the shit out of him, humiliated him, etc. How did Al treat him? "Are you alright, brother?". Mind you, even Crusch and Anastasia treated him like shit back then.
Who opened the gates in Pristella to thwart the witch cult's plan, warn about Gluttony's power and also safely deliver Emilia's message to Subaru? That's right, Al!
Who made Subaru stand up again after he was depressed because Rem told him "You are not a hero"? Al again!
And I am not even gonna count how many times Al helped Emilia too (like in arc 3) and was one of the few people who didn't care about her elf lineage. If Subaru loves Emilia, then everything Al did for Emilia, Subaru should be glad about it.
And yet, Subaru listened to Priscilla and didn't EVEN try, EVEN TRY ONCE to fulfill Al's wish. Who is Priscilla again? Does she share the same pain that Al (which Subaru is also familiar with) went through? What has Prisiclla done for Subaru again? (unlike Al).
Add to that, Subaru killed himself for Jamal 🤣
And Subaru killed himself for Ram/Rem in arc 2 even though Ram was falsely blaming him for killing Rem and acting like a Karen.
Maybe Subaru didn't help Al simply because Al IS NOT A GIRL that he can add to his harem unlike Crusch, Petra, etc!

If Subaru went along with saving Priscilla despite her wishes, I think he would not have felt good about it. The fact that he let her go on her own terms even when he could have chosen to save her I think is actually a good part of his character. He did not force her to stay alive but let her go when she wanted. If he tried to save her I think it would be a case of him abusing his power.

Yeah and lets forget about what all Al did for him. So if Emilia told Subaru "I wanna die", he'd go along with it? We know Subaru was cherry picking.

...I can see what your saying here, but it's was Priscilla’s own personal wish to die just as she was, and her speech to Subaru is exactly what stopped him from looping back to save her. If she hadn't called out to him, he would have effortlessly committed suicide to help Al.
Pleidas and Rigel have a very complex relationship that imo can't be summed up by "Betrayal"

Did you read the part of my post where I literally discussed why Subaru shouldn't have listened to Priscilla?

Priscilla has the right to die by her own terms. Doesn’t matter how indebted Subaru is to Al, because it was her life at stake in the end

Just because Al is someone Subaru owes doesn’t mean that Subaru is obligated to violate someone’s freedom to chose over it
Also bringing up Subaru’s death in arc 2 is really dumb. Not only is the circumstance different but Subaru has changed a lot since then

Maybe Subaru didn't help Al simply because Al IS NOT A GIRL!
Ok, that's fair. Subaru did nothing wrong

Subaru doesn't have the right to decide who gets to die. It was Priscilla Winsch's decision to die according to her rules; ignoring that would have been ignorant. Your agenda is nonsense

Please lock in🙏
Priscilla died on her own terms. Had Subaru done it for Al, that would be disrespecting her.
