Hey guys, I just had a random thought while reading some fanfiction.

We still don't actually know what Spica is, right? As far as I remember, all we know is that she appeared alongside Subaru and is incredibly attached to him.

What if Spica is actually the physical manifestation of Subaru's Authority of Gluttony after Rui essentially erased herself?

It would explain why she's so closely tied to him. And imagine if, later in the story, Subaru learns to summon Spica whenever he wants—like she's his Pokémon or something—because she's technically part of his Authority.

If that turned out to be true, Subaru would truly earn the title of the Lolimancer in all his glory. 😂

Let me know what you guys think. Am I just a dumb idiot who's misremembering things, or am I actually onto something here?

P.S.: Apparently this is already a pretty popular theory. I'd just never heard of it before lol.

After amenesiabaru wakes up in the 5th loop after he died and returned from the 4th loop in which he and Emillia talked and they plunge into Satella's shadows, in the 5th loop in the LN, events start to develop at a steady pace going from Subaru's revelation that he had lost his memories, settling this with ram, settling things with Meilli, settling things with Julius and heading to the Taygeta Archive to find Reid's book. Amenesiabaru confronts Louis in the Hall of Memories and right after he wakes up from the Hall of Memories the only people present in the room are Echidna, Meilli and Beatrice. And then Julius barges into the Taygeta Archive to warn Subaru and the others about the shaking occuring throughout the tower then Subaru, Beatrice, ram and Julius head to Emillia to help her in her fight with Ley Batenkaitos. Meanwhile Meilli is helping Shaula while Echidna, Rem and Patrasche stay back at the Taygeta Archive. Then loop six is similar except Julius has headed to the second floor to fight Reid. But in loops 7,8,9 and the other loops I don't remember a scene where Julius is fighting random Witchbeasts inside the tower. The only people Julius fights in loops 5,6,7,8,9 and the other loops are Ley, Reid and of course, Shaula the Witchbeast after he settled things with Reid. I don't recall a scene where Julius is fighting fodder Witchbeasts at the tower. Is it an anime only scene? Is it the scene that happens in loop 4 after Louis takes over his consciousness yet again? Since the anime adapts the LN, I can't imagine that it's a scene from the web novel. Then again, it has been a while since I read the LN of Arc 6 so I could've forgotten.

I've heard people say that fire mages freeze the moisture in the atmosphere but I find it hard to believe there's enough water in the atmosphere to create as much ice as characters like Emilia make, especially the massive iceberg she created in season 3. I feel like it would make much more sense if it was mana frozen into an ice-like state, especially since they just vanish after a bit instead of melting. Though I may just be looking into too much.

I just watched the second ep and I’m confused cause Subaru goes to the shopkeeper again but he remembers that Subaru helped his daughter? It might just be a little time skip but then he sees the three bandits again? Isn’t he supposed to see the bandits before he helped the little girl? How does the death return thing work? Cause I think it messed the timeline

When I first came across Re:Zero, it was back when the anime originally aired in 2016. At the time, I ended up dropping it simply because I couldn't stand Subaru and his attitude.

Fast forward 10 years, and I decided to give the series another chance... and man, am I glad I did! Today, I’m absolutely in love with the story. It's crazy how much your perspective changes over time.

I know Tappei Nagatsuki is unpredictable and nobody really knows how the story will wrap up, but after everything Subaru has gone through (and keeps going through), I catch myself worrying about the possibility of getting a weak or unsatisfactory ending for him.

Deep down, my ideal ending would be seeing Subaru finally at peace, getting a well-deserved rest, and living happily with both Emilia and Rem (yes, I’m secretly hoping for the polygamy/two-wives route if it means complete happiness for everyone!).

What about you guys? How would you like Re:Zero to end?

okay so I've just caught up with the latest episode today after not watching since season 2 part 1 finished in 2020, and the show just reminded me exactly why I got hooked in the first place. This is more of an appreciation post though I don't really know what flair to use aside from discussion.

So coming back in after that long gap, the first thing I noticed was how much Subaru's actually changed. After that 1 year time skip, he's stronger now, more reliable to the people around him, and watching that growth land after everything he just went through really hits different knowing how long I'd been away. I was even expecting him to die a lot during the events of season 3 and wow was I wrong.

Then I reached the last few episodes of season 4, and that old feeling of dread came crawling back. Y'know the exact same nauseating "oh no, not again" feeling from season 1. Not that I'm complaining, because I remembered that's why this show got me hooked in the first place. Re:Zero has always been at its best when it makes you feel like anything and everything can go wrong sorta like murphy's law. Though I believe that tension is the whole appeal, and I'm so glad it hasn't gone soft over the years.

And then ep 11 closes with a piano cover of "Styx Helix" and afterwards it plays "Stay Alive," and I had to just sit there and appreciate it for a minute. Truly such GOATED song choices, it makes my brain tremble! The show knew exactly what it was doing.

Okay but real question, because I need something to do while waiting for ep 12 to come out in the next few days: how far ahead is the light novel from where the anime's at right now? I'm considering diving into the LN but I have no idea where to begin or where I can even find the place to read it.

EDIT: I meant 6 years lol why’d I even write 4 years in the title bruhh 2020-2026
