Tappei is an amazing writer and the Apocalypse girls is always a fun read, but at what point does it become too much? Most anime only's and even light novel readers need to be corrected now because of information revealed in side stories. Without reading the side stories or EX novels it can be hard for someone to understand arc 7 and 8. Has Tappei just made too many side stories? This question also takes into account that many side stories are hard to find and read and sometimes just aren't translated in other languages.

I know it's an odd request considering I know nothing about Greek mythology, but I want to learn as much as I can about Astraea and I'm having a hard time understanding through simply searching it up. If there is anyone who knows about her well and the connection with Virgo and the moon and stuff I would really appreciate getting the facts down and learning about it

Recently the fandom has been discussing how the moon will most likely play an important role within the ending of Re zero. I've seen a lot of people make a connection between the moon and Satella, and although there is a lot of evidence to connect the two I believe it might be a red herring set by Tappei.

Both Greek mythology and Astrology have been used within Re zero, and one thing I hardly see anyone mention is Saturn's moon Pandora. Within history and fiction Saturn has represented Time, inevitability and destiny. As the story continues it's clear it also has these themes, with the possibility that the story is predetermined now being questioned.

Not only that, but the moon Pandora also has similarities to the Re zero Pandora. Pandora is a shepherd moon, meaning it manipulates the gravity for Saturn. In the same way Pandora manipulates the story, in fact manipulation is literally her Authority.

Of course since we don't know much about Pandora now it's hard to fully make a connection, but what I'm really interested in is Pandora's connection with Saturn and its other moon Prometheus.

Prometheus is another Shepherd moon that specifically influences Saturn's F ring. I believe that Reinhard Van Astrea is connected to Prometheus in some way, and plays a role in the story the same way Prometheus does with Saturn

Bringing up the connection of Saturn and its symbolism and how it represents the story of Re zero, I believe both Pandora and Reinhard are manipulating the story.

One thing to mention is that the very first direct mention of the moon comes from Reinhard in a chapter titled "the moon is watching". Reinhard says it may be the last time he could calmly gaze at the moon. This could be his way of saying that the arrival of Subaru will now set the story in place.

Not only that but Tappei has made it very clear that Rienhard's perspective of the story contains spoilers, meaning that Reinhard knows something we don't. Reinhard was also the only person to go to the moon, and once again Tappei stated that whatever Reinhard saw was a spoiler. You may have also heard the joke that Tappei specifically tries to make the fandom hate Reinhard, but what if it was true and it was because Reinhard will play a bigger role in the story later on?

Another thing to mention is that just like Prometheus Reinhard also plays a specific role in the world. Despite being the strongest man in the world, Reinhard does not take on the role of a king. Instead he governs Lugunica, and as we've seen recently, abandons his own agency to comply with his role. He is a guardian, a shepherd.

Also, the F ring (the ring Prometheus regulates) is one of the most chaotic structures in the solar system. We can connect this back to Reinhard and his influence. Despite being the strongest, he suppresses chaos rather than dismantling it. Think of every achievement we've seen him have in the story so far, unless it's dictated by Subaru it usually doesn't actually benefit the world, just stops its destruction.

In a mythological perspective Prometheus is known for bringing fire to humanity against the gods wishes. Reinhard never earned his power, he was given it (and if you consider his wish possibly even took it). The fire in the myth was seen as a gift for humans, just like how Reinhard was seen as a gift for Lugunica.

I'm not the best when it comes to theories, but what I'm working towards is that fact Reinhard might play an antagonistic role towards the end of Re zero. With how things are currently playing out in Arc 10 it seems Tappei is already setting things up between Subaru and Reinhard. I would love to hear if anyone has something else to add on to this. I also just want to point out how Reinhard's most important fights in the story take place at night when the moon is out.

I've put all the important comparisons and information for my argument in bold.

I have a video with all the methods I've tried, though I also put my email instead of my username and have gotten the same result. I also used the "recover account" feature but it didn't work. It's been about 3 days of me trying and I'm gonna wait another 24 hours before trying again but it really hasn't done anything. Does anybody know what's going on and how to fix this? I have been able to log into all of my alt accounts but not my main. (also I added music so watching wouldn't suck too bad and bolded some important information).
