Nagatsuki-sensei's tweets for this week's episode. May contain minor spoilers.

Rough translation:

Yeah! From morning to night! And it's time for Re: Zero! Today, it's the second episode of the latter half of season four! Last time, Subaru and the others saw to the end of the pushing and falling problem, but what will happen now?! Please look forward to it, and join us again today!

It's begun! Last time, they all decided to look for Reid's weakness; we start from there.

A "Book of the Dead" has the subject's cause of death written down, so you could call it a strategy guide. Being weak to fire or weak to water, you're really not going to find that sort of game-like weakness, but you really can't overcome the cause of your own death.

Emilia was downhearted at being called 'chan', but her face lit up when she heard "Nobody says that anymore". Whenever she hears Subaru's turn of phrase, she's all "More, more!".

It's somewhat due to the circumstances around how they were put together, but the Emilia camp in particular has a lot of long-lived characters. Petra being thirteen and Garfiel being fifteen is really wholesome. The truth is those two are only two years apart!

When he asks Julius to hold up, and leaves everyone else to Ram, that's Subaru's judgement on "Who here can make the most appropriate judgement?" based on his experience up until now. It's not about fighting strength, but who can make rational decisions. If it had been Anastasia instead of Eridona, it would have been a different matter.

Out of the chapter names, "That is that, and this is this." was one that I quite liked, but as I've said before, between the first and second halves of the episode, it's easier to use the second half for the episode title... It's rough!

At the point where he used his memory loss as a reason to say that he's never known Julius to lose, you can see the strength of how Subaru thinks, and it's something I like as the author. Forgetting isn't all bad, is what I'd like to say.

Repeating the words of dear Julius-san!

Subaru taking on the possiblity of something bad happening as a result of reading the book is the best choice, in view of the possibility he's already been hit by it, and his effect on their fighting strength...!

With the cape off, you're really showing too much skin now, goof.

"Go ahead and have supper without me" is another from the series of images that include the situation around arc two when he saw Emilia off and said "Watch out for cars, and boys.". It's something he says because he's returned to being Subaru as he was back at the start.

The atmosphere is quite different from Typhon and Meili's "Books of the Dead"; is this serenity Reid's memories...no, it gives a bit of a different impression, right?

Incidentally, arc six's arc title was "Corridor of Memories".

Rui refers to herself as 'we' and 'us'. Incidentally, Rai and Roi's style alternate between 'we' and 'us'. (TL note: Rui's is more feminine, Rai and Roi more masculine) This is an expression of influence of the authority of Gluttony. Just like Beako's "You know" "I suppose", it's a literary representation.

It doesn't need to be said, but neither a little brother nor a little sister have been born.

Rui is scratching fiercely at her arm, but what influence could have left her with this habit?

This is precious look at how he looks in the middle of reading a "Book of the Dead". The truth is the author was wondering about how it goes, too. Going from "It's pro~bably like this" to "Ah, it looks like this!".

This is the Hell's Snipe Shaula uses when she's really, really serious, but if she'd used this when they were on the way, there's a 100% chance they wouldn't have made it to the tower.

When you understand the culprit behind Subaru's memories being erased, you more or less understand Subaru's actions before they disappeared. In short, what Subaru realized yesterday is the same as Subaru today. They thought up the same way to defeat Reid, and ran into the boss here.

Rui is going all-out in provoking him.

...That's odd, there's no commercial...?

The change in Rui's voice here is really good. Isn't it great? Isn't it really great, really?

In truth, memories are difficult. Here, Subaru has lost his memories, but even though it's a short time, it's been rich with experiences, so when talking about whether that will disappear or not, how do you come to a compromise about it? What a cruel thing it is.

Let's be quiet for a bit.

The reason Rui can't see the form or hear the voice or footsteps of who's there is that the "She" that appeared is someone Rui had thrown away because she was getting in the way. The circumstances around that, we'll look at that another time.

"Stand Up" is both the episode title this round, and probably the number one or two thing I wanted to write as part of arc six no matter what. Unlike "Choose Me", which I'd thought up before beginning to write Re: Zero, it's a newly-bloomed point I wanted to write.

The character nature of Sin Archbishop of "Gluttony", Rui Arneb of "Satiation", is "Rerolling life unti it's perfect".

In the corridor of memories, Rui let go of a particular memory. The reason for that is that it felt a tremendously fierce opposition to harming Subaru Natsuki.

I'd like to speak about it a bit more, so I will, but Rui saying this and that to Subaru is, just as she admits, "In order to eat someone again after you've eaten them once (via "Gluttony"), they have to become a truly different being than they were before."; if you can't tell them apart, it doesn't work.

Incidentally, there's a proper answer to the question "Why did he read Reid's book and end up in this weird place with Rui in it?", but it's too early to talk about it, so after a few more episodes, I'll talk about it if I don't forget!

And, after the main story, please don't forget to watch the mini-anime over here! If love was spoken of in the main story, let's speak of love over here as well. ...Isn't love wonderful?

I think you might have realized, even though they looked into the book for a way to victory, not only did they not find one, but now there's all kinds of trouble outside, so the truth is nothing's actually improved. As problems continue at the Pleiades Watchtower, how will it go from here?!

Nagatsuki-sensei's tweets for this week's episode. May contain minor spoilers.

Rough translation:

Yeah! With that, Anime Season 4! The second half starts today! Of course, there'll be a lot of noisy commentary from the author, but if you'll allow it, I'll bring it back to life! I'll give a rough summary of what happened in the first half! "Not a single good thing! Maybe something good will happen soon!" is it! Hold on to that sort of hope, and thanks for joining us again today!

At the end of last time, with his memory loss unchanged, Subaru Natsuki found his reason to fight on despite that. Getting back on his feet emotionally, and ready to challenge the Pleiades Watchtower again... Well, let's get to it!

"Return by Death"'s restart point is the same as it was, where Subaru had collapsed on the third floor, Emilia and the others had taken him to the green room, and waited for him to wake up. Moreover, at this point Subaru has fallen for Emilia again, so he blushes the moment he sees her face.

After the memory loss and up to this point, even though Subaru has been thinking of Emilia as "A beautiful girl who's really my type", he hasn't liked her in the sense of being a member of the opposite sex. Even back at the start, he first became solidly aware of his feelings for her in season 1, episode 8's lap pillow, so the truth is he's a guy that needs a fairly big event to fall for someone.

Even though they don't know why Subaru suddenly started crying, Emilia and Beatrice handle that head-on. Rem and Patrasche are here too, so it's the Four Heavenly Kings of giving Subaru hugs if he starts crying without warning! It looks like that kind of lineup, doesn't it!

He's taking on a new loop with a new set of emotions, but basically nothing has changed aside from his mindset. However, mindset is important in Re: Starting Life in Another World from Zero - Look forward to seeing what Subaru will do once he's got his mind made up.

Meili! A living Meili! It's Miss Meili without a dark expression on her face! Long time no see!

Subaru goes to reveal his memory loss this round, too, and naturally the way everyone takes it is the same, but what will the change on Subaru's side lead to? With the change in Subaru, who had fallen into suspicion and distrust, what else will change?

Emilia looks very lonely as she says "chan...". Unfortunately, even with his mind made up, this part here doesn't change.

Subaru originally called her "Emilia-tan" as a way to make an excuse for not being able to get closer to a girl he liked. After calling her something like "Emilia-tan", of course she wouldn't like you, that sort of excuse, but in the background, Emilia at the time was really happy to be called by a nickname, so she didn't take it negatively.

Just like last time, the talk with Ram is needed, and he offers his case sincerely. Whether he has his memories or not, what Subaru is capable of doesn't change. "It's only natural to be rewarded at least that much." is a line I'm fond of.

After that triple-take slap, the angle and expression that Ram is looking down on Subaru with is somehow familiar, yes it is. This sort of portrayal isn't possible in a novel, so you really like to do it in anime.

But his cheek is really going red there, huh... Ram put a little too much power into that as she was covering her emotions.

Ram's words, starting here with "Silly." are something I quite like, as the author. Isn't the background music just too good, too?

Subaru's taking care of the problems he has to solve one at a time. Well now, here and now, the first problem Subaru Natsuki has to deal with is...

When you imagine Meili's feelings here when she's told that, it's really frightening, and I like that. I knew it was coming, but the second half is full of moments I like.

"Responsibility for killing me..." is a line that makes it all too clear what I like. If you get the chance, look it up!

Last time, Subaru was thinking "Even if I'd get killed while remembering, it's weird that I'd get killed after forgetting, isn't it?", but that was actually the motive.

I'd guess, at this moment, Meili is super-afraid.

"...Murder becomes a habit" aren't the words spoken to Subaru back then, but the answer he's come up with for this moment, ya'know.

Hurray! Elsa-san appears not only in seasons one through four, but in both the first and second halves of season four! I realized recently, given that she has what it takes to be the arc boss for arc one, I really quite like Elsa.

Meili's character is, just as she confesses, modelled with Elsa in mind. It's less the author's work, and more Meili wished for it herself; think of it that way. If you think that Meili isn't really acting her age, then I'm terribly happy to hear it.

Meili's actions were expected, so he'd hung the whip from the stairs ahead of time so he could jump to it. I think it would be super-dangerous, but I did something like that a long time ago in a game called Shadow of Memories. Even the author thought that was super-dangerous.

Here, where he didn't try to handle it by himself, you can feel Subaru's growth. Well now! Before losing his memories, it's something he learned in arc three and arc four, so it's like rediscovering the wheel!

Here where Subaru says "Not the way she did" and rubs his stomach; was it an ache from something he'd imagined, or a speculative reaction based on information from Meili's "Book of the Dead"? Go with whichever you find more interesting!

The "Real Human Meili Plan" is dependent on the behavior of the adults around her. Well, at the very least it's a collection of people who are more normal than Elsa-san, so I'm sure it'll move in a good direction! Well, Shaula might be a problem, though!

And with that, the first episode title after the restart is "The Story from Now On". One problem down.

Shaula is holding Meili on her lap, isn't she. Meili seems to draw older, troublesome ladies to her...

Amazing as always! 30 minutes is so fast! It's like it went by in a blink, episode 1 of the latter half! It's eight episodes like this, so seven more!? I'm afraid they seem like they'll go by in a blink, so everyone, try not to blink, and super-enjoy this finely crafted anime!

So with that, the pushing culprit has been determined, and one of the problems on hand has been solved... Despite that, there's still many things that have to be taken care of at the watchtower. When will we see the "godly episode" that Kobayashi-san was speaking of?! Wasn't today's fairly close to that? With that feeling in mind, please join us again! Well then, see you next time! At the tower in the sand!

Nagatsuki-sensei's tweets for this week's episode. May contain minor spoilers.

Rough translation:

It's Re: Zero time again this week! Today is the last of the first part, the Loss Arc! What sort of developments await? Look forward to it!

Last time at the end, Ram had been keeping an eye on Subaru with "clairvoyance", but it's not only Ram that has arrived here; Emilia has also come to hear the truth of it from Subaru.

As for how that went, it was most likely that due to being called 'Emilia-chan', Emilia went to speak with Ram. Emilia noticed the change in Subaru, and this situation was arranged. Incidentally, it was neither Ram nor Emilia that handled making Meili's body disappear. Well then, who? Who could it have been. It's Thinking Time.

He lost consciousness again, and when he awakes, the walls are covered with countless words. Reid appears too; why is he here?

Normally, Reid is supposed to be handling the second "exam", so he's not supposed to be able to come down from there, so for him to be showing up here, there must have been some sort of violation of the rules.

The situation around Subaru once he's awoken, Julius facing off with many mabeasts that have entered the tower, and Reid (who's not supposed to be down here) joining in and a battle commencing. As for the timeline, what exactly is going on, please make a note of each thing in your head.

As always, the hallucination of Meili appears before Subaru. I call her Imaginary Meili, and everything little thing she points out supports Subaru's murderous air in the current situation.

Subaru meets up with Beatrice and Foxidna/Anastasia, and at this point his frustration explodes over not knowing what it means to be like "Subaru Natsuki".

To a Subaru who hasn't gotten over the events with his parents as he did in arc four, the compassion shown by those around him is entirely incomprehensible. The excessive expectations and contempt that he doesn't know the cause of are impossible to understand.

In the novels, at this point I expressed it as Subaru lining up the names of all the gods he knows of and pleading. It's that much of a situation where he doesn't even know who to cling to, isn't it.

In the sudden situation, he ends up extending his hand to someone who was about to fall to their death. I think there will be different opinions on whether that should be called good character, but I think in the past there was talk of "What if there was a child that dashed out on the road at a red light?". Perhaps that itself, regardless of whether he has his memories or not, is something you could call the unchanging core.

Beatrice's trust that requires no explanations might be called warm, but to Subaru as he is now, it might also be a heavy burden.

At the end of the first part, something suddenly shines brightly and Subaru and Beatrice, and Foxidna as well, suffer life-threatening injuries. Subaru attempts to take Foxidna away from the site of the disaster, but even if he was able to, it wouldn't help. Foxidna understands that, and makes no effort to return her body to Anastasia.

Imaginary Meili's sweet words are always leading Subaru in a fixed direction, but as for whether that should be seen as Meili's will from when she was alive, or should be seen as something else, is something I'd like to leave up to the various people watching.

Saying "You can't even lift a stone to end my misery.", Foxidna dies. As the author, this is a scene I like. That includes Meili reaction of noting "Why don't you just die?", and disappearing with contenpt.

In the place of the vanished Imaginary Meili, someone Subaru doesn't know appears and stridently declares her love. Before he took the "Trial" in arc four, Subaru knew what his parents thought of him, and what he really should do. Hence this hesitation and conflict.

"I love you" (x61)...

In a world where Julius, Beatrice, and Foxidna have been visited by tragedy, Emila tries to help out Subaru.

Continuing from last time, Meili's death, and the fact that her body was hidden, bring us here. Honestly, Subaru no longer understands anything by this point, but when he pleads that, what Emilia does is...

Slowly, but confidently, Emilia speaks of the course that Subaru Natsuki has walked; in other words, Subaru Natsuki's life in another world starting from Zero.

Everything that "Subaru Natsuki" has done that Subaru Natsuki doesn't remember.

Oh, I see, Subaru Natsuki. You fell in love with this beautiful girl. Holding feelings that should be way beyond your reach; that's why you were able to try so hard. Is that all the man you are...?

...Well, let's do it.

Beginning life from zero in another world!

And that was the finale of the first half of season 4, the Loss Arc! Thank you so much! Not a single thing about the situation has improved! Not a single mystery has been explained! All we've understood is that is why "Subaru Natsuki" was trying so hard, that's all! Holding on to only that, let's head on. ...Subaru Natsuki can't do anything more than that, after all.

And with that, greeting the finale of the Loss Arc, the mini-anime will also be taking time off for now until the Recapture Arc! With that in mind, the finale of the first half, it's a story of those who weren't able to come to the tower! There's still quite a lingering chill from the main story, but please look forward to this, too!

Well now, working on the assumption that you finished watching the mini-anime, the Loss Arc has finished up the first half of season 4, and I think it was a wonderful anime adaptation that reached a lot of places. I haven't time to list all the things I'm thankful for, but even the author couldn't help but cry this time around. This time almost looked like a title drop, but it was a little different. Re: Zero puts it's heart into the episode titles, and honestly includes a lot of things, so please, enjoy that along with the rest!

As for my details thoughts about the first half, I'd like to speak more about that another day. For today, I'd like to sniffle and express my thanks amidst the lingering feeling of the finale. Truly, my thanks to Directory Shinohara and all the staff, along with everyone who has watched this far. Please look forward to the Recapture Arc starting in August!!!!

Nagatsuki-sensei's tweets for this week's episode. May contain minor spoilers.

Rough translation:

Yeah! It's come again today, Wednesday! The evening! In other words, it's Re: Zero day! Last time, it was one problem after another, but will it get better now!? Last week ended on a turbulent note, and this weeks opens with confusion too! Let's get on with it!

After he suddenly loses consciousness, Meili has entirely changed once he comes back to himself. In addition, there are unfamiliar wounds on his arm... yeah, I'd hate to wake up like that.

It's only natural, but not knowing what has happened, Subaru can't help but guess. As a result, his suspicion about who engraved the words on his arm only deepens. Who has done this? Someone it seems like he knows but he doesn't; it would mean taking a step towards someone like that.

After breaking out of the confusion, it's not good that the first thing he does is to cover up the problem. Having said that, if you were in a position to take an overall view of things, I think you'd find that there are "serious mistakes" here and there in Subaru's actions, so please have fun looking for those.

Here, Subaru's heart was truly on the verge of being moved by Emilia's words, but that's interrupted by the sudden arrival of the worst possible news you could think of at this moment.

When you think about how the "Books of the Dead" work, there's quite a deep meaning behind the books all having a different thickness. That includes the thickness of the book with Meili's name written on it.

Runt number 1 -> Beatrice. Runt number 2 -> Meili.

This protagonist is wrinkling his forehead all the time; doesn't he look like a criminal? Isn't he the culprit?

Following after "Typhon"'s book that came before, now it's the start of the tale of "Meili"'s book. It's not limited only to this, but the way the "Books of the Dead" are written is different from usual, and if you have a chance to see the original text, please pay special attention to it.

It, it's Guiltylowe! Isn't that Mr. Guiltylowe!?

Mr., Mr. Guiltylo~~~~we!!!!

A celebration! He's appeared in seasons one through four!

What's this? An ugly speech from a voice we've heard before.

It's true for Meili as well, but our first meeting with Elsa-san starts from when she's not an adult but a young girl, and it's quite interesting to see her like that.

But seriously, Yuusuke Kobayashi is something else...

Speaking hypothetically, that was probably the worst book to read out of everyone in the tower.

They push "someone's life" into you with incredible intensity, if you're not built to take something like that, it messes up your head. It's a fairly powerful side effect of a "Book of the Dead".

Miss Imaginary Meili popping in at the worst possible places with her evil grin.

The (tragically) wise team, which searching through the tower, considers the possibility that Meili tried to flee outside the tower, and lost her life there. In that case, they probably wouldn't find the body. To a certain extent, they're also working to convince Emilia, aren't they.

Shaula getting close seems to carry deep meaning. What does "I get it" mean?

It's not really necessary to be on top of the bed to receive the healing benefits of the Green Room's spirit, but Beatrice, watching over Subaru, finds it cute that Patrasche is just resting her head on the bed.

When you're feeling guilty, you end up feeling like every single thing that people do is an attack. ...Why do I know that, you ask? Good grief, I really don't mind having readers who can pick up on things.

Foxidna's opposition means that today's actions were time spent to convince Emilia.

First a girl, then a boy. What are we expecting will be born?

That's impossible; are you saying the role of detective isn't played by myself, Subaru Natsuki...!?

Ram's expression of "I was watching" is speaking of having borrowed Patrasche's eyes just before this, using "clairvoyance". Having observed Subaru engaged in clearly suspicious action, she tailed him. Getting taken in by thinking that the first character you're following is the detective; that's kind of how things always go!

This time, I quite like the way the ending is added in, but what do you think of it? I spoke before about how fitting the ending is and such, but this time, perhaps it's the way the episode title gives it an unsettling entry or something, but I really like the way it messes up your heart. Di Molto bene.

I love the way the episode title is added in! In Re: Zero up to this point, I don't think there's been a pattern in how the episode title is read, but here, I felt "strength". The "strength" to still find new ways to enchant.

Well then! Was this week one problem after another, or was it so awful you'll have to look at it again and again, it was something along those lines; thanks for joining us! The battle of season four's first half has just one more episode! Seriously? What'll happen in one more episode? With no end to the questions, let the mini-anime heal your heart after this, and wait for next week with great anticipation!

Speaking of that, season 3 had imaginary Elsa, and season 4 has imaginary Meili, huh...

Speaking of that, there's one thing I need to add: the Elsa doll that Meili had is something she requested when Subaru asked "Is there something you'd like me to make?". It was probably a little complicated for Subaru given that she was there for his first death, but he went along with Meili's hope. Meili probably requested a few remakes, too.

Nagatsuki-sensei's second set of tweets for last week's episode. May contain minor spoilers.

Rough translation:

Well now, it's Wednesday again this week! It's Re: Zero day! I'm starting sooner than usual? That's right. The truth is, I was tipsy last week and felt bad about not being able to commentate properly, so I'm gonna commentate episode 74 by myself. Commentary on episode 75 will start at 11:00 pm, so please look forward to that!

Episode 74 begins with an old familiar greeting. Last time ended with a pretty abrupt feeling so there might be a lot of people who didn't realize it, but just as the episode title expresses, Subaru Natsuki has returned (mentally) to his first day in another world.

After greeting those he thought he was meeting for the first time, Emilia and Beatrice are confused, though that's only natural. Seeing the two of them look depressed after losing over a year of days spent together, even Subaru can read the room there.

Emilia's cute cheeks are bright red!

The story this time is about keeping a close eye on the reactions of people around Subaru, isn't it. The pictures are exquisitely expressing things that can't be put into words.

The opening! It's the opening, isn't it!? We meet again, opening!

"I want you to tell me your name" is the wish held by Subaru in arc one, but when it's pulled out here right at the start, is the feeling that revisits Emilia here relief, or an even greater sense of loneliness?

Well now, with Subaru having reset to his starting point, of course it's rough for Subaru, but it's a real blow to several people in the tower as well.

"An eye-destroying curse" is something that came up in arc two as well. There was the thing with names, too; is he planning to speedrun the events of arcs one up to six...?

Starting fresh after having already built up a relationship is pretty rough, but when a third party is deliberately clarifying your relationship, it one again reminds you the party has some odd members.

Julius isn't able to speak. When you look back over the events of the previous night, it's harsh but fair.

About "Emilia-chan", what did you viewers think when hearing that? If it made you thing twice, or made you feel ill, I couldn't be happier.

Needing to look deeper into Subaru's attitude, Ram made a way for the two of them to be by themselves, but her mental state here isn't calm. Ram's reaction here includes her trust that Subaru has something in mind, but even more than that, she'd entrusted him with being the proof of her "younger twin sister Rem". With their appearance and such, she understands the fact that Rem is her little sister, but Subaru is indispensable for reinforcing the idea.

Julius barely manages to get himself back together; the way that he ends up acting calm is kind of impressive, and kind of sad.

With Subaru having lost his memories, Foxidna's confession here is seriously beyond his understanding and throws him into confusion. When someone you're meeting for the first time says they're actually someone else, you're not going to understand a thing.

So with that, Anastasia is discovered to be Foxidna, and Ram and Julius are off their stride. Meili and Shaula are indifferent to it, so it's up to Emilia to set things in order. What an awful situation. However, falling down is a chance to rise again. Yes, it's time to grow wings...!

The night before, Subaru had an idea and headed to the library containing the "Books of the Dead". What happened to Subaru as he lost his memory laying fallen there? The answer that unravels that awaits somewhere.

"Status Open!" is something he did at the beginning, too, and this includes the author's wish for it it to be one of the top things you end up doing when you hear "another world".

It looks like a really vast opening, but it's the spiral stairs the climbed up from the fifth floor, you see. With these way-too-large spiral steps, the moment he peers down, there's a sudden shock...

It's nothing to laugh at, but thinking it was "A dream?" can't be helped. The author has experienced this too, and hasn't everyone else also had a dream where you fell from a tall place and woke up? What's up with that? Also, why am I still having dreams about getting to school late?

As Subaru double-checks the situation in front of his eyes, Emilia and Beatrice are deeply confused. But, as he's trying to explain it, Subaru realizes it. That's right, a prophetic dream!

The thinking behind not telling Emilia and the others about his "prophetic dream" is based on how he didn't share that with those around him back when he had his memories. Naturally, it's an ability you'd speak of with trusted friends, so the reason they haven't been told is... like that. To figure that out in just an instant, he's actually a pretty quick thinker, this protagonist.

With the spiral stairs before him where he just saw that horrible dream, Subaru changes gears and tries to share the prophetic dream with the others, but... Just then, he overhears them talking with terrible timing.

Incidentally, the conversation here is a little different from last time. The reason it turned into this sort of conversation is Subaru (who feels like this is the second time around) has different behavior and reactions from the first time around and is more dubious, which leads to Ram and Anastasia thinking of him with suspicion. This is the same as in arc two, where Rem and Ram viewed him with suspicion when he looped.

Well now, unlike the first time, the spot he fell from the second time was unfortunate. Smashing into steps along the way, Subaru's body is broken here and there as he falls, and his first experience with the pain of "death" is enough to drive him mad. As a result, he ends up running away while crying and wailing, and chooses the worst possible place to run to.

Reid doesn't know about the situation behind Subaru's memory loss, and he doesn't care. It's simply that a small fry with nothing interesting about him has come back to embarrass himself even more, and it just pisses him off. Just the fact he didn't kill him was a mercy, but was that really for the best?

With Subaru all beaten up, he searches for a reason this is happening to him, and "I didn't tell mom 'I'll be back soon' when I left the house. I didn't want her to tell me to wash the cup I drank hot chocolate with." is what he comes up with.

What's more, when Subaru was told 'Take care', Naoko-san had already noticed and quickly washed the cup.

Even wounded like that, he recovers thanks to his friends' healing magic and the green room... but, the wounds in his heart aren't so easy. Unable to trust the people around him, he doesn't listen to what they say and ends up leaving the tower...but wasn't there a rule about not doing that?

And with that, once more that was episode 74, "Who are you?"! I'll start up commentary on this week's episode 75 at 11:00 p.m., so basically please join me for that! Well then, let's meet again with the next episode!

Well then, please join us again this week for Re: Zero! I just said hello a little while ago? Maybe so! Figure out the circumstances later! For now, let's enjoy this Re: Zero!

Taking in the disaster from last time, Subaru starts to flee from the tower. He plans to escape, leaving Emilia and the others behind in the tower, but moving immediately to prevent that is his baptism in the Augria dunes.

It might not have felt like it because Meili was there, but normally, the Augria dunes are the kind of hellish environment where regular people are continually subjected to this kind of heavy attack. So no one made it in four hundred years.

The way the sandworm was killed looks familiar, but of course Subaru isn't aware of that. He probably wanted to worry about how awful the situation closing in on him is, but he gets sucked into the sand, the underground is full of mabeast corpses, and it just keeps wearing away at Subaru's mind.

The opening! Isn't that the opening!? That's the second time today! I mean, I was watching it on youtube, so it's more like the tenth time, but still!

Wake up -> Meet a beautiful girl and a beautiful little girl -> Meet beautiful girls and a beautiful guy -> Fall from a high place -> Meet a beautiful girl and a beautiful little girl and a beautiful guy again -> People talk about him behind his back -> Fall from a high place with painful feelings -> Get stabbed by a redhead -> Get attacked by a worm after going outside -> Quicksand pulls him into a sea of corpses. That's about how things are currently.

Advancing through the cave he fell into, Subaru is trying to find a way to escape, but this unpleasant path through the sand looks familiar, doesn't it.

In front of the wall that blocks his path, Subaru is wrapped in light, and when he comes to, he's back in the tower he thought he'd run away from. In that place he's forgotten, there's a reason that things that hadn't happened have happened, but I won't speak of it yet.

After he returns to a place he didn't want to, the insane inspiration that crosses the back of Subaru's mind is to grasp at the most horrible possibility with his own hands. This part of things was depicted in the opening as well, and everyone may have been wondering about what kind of scene it would be, but how does Subaru's state of mind look to everyone here?

Subaru's pitch-black desire to kill is greeted by an unexpected scene of horror, and it's no longer the time for that.

Here, Julius was protecting Meili behind him, but even without understanding the details, it does seem like something Julius would do, and I like that. Episode 15 with Ram was like that, too.

Incidentally, in the web novel, this chapter was titled "Tower of the Dead".

And waiting for him here is Patrasche. Unable to deal with her, he stabs a sword into her, but when her unflinching gaze is unaffected by even that, his paper-mache determination falls apart.

But you know, Yuusuke Kobayashi is just amazing...

With one thing after another, disasters that Subaru can't understand keep happening. Eventually even Patrasche is swallowed in the dark something going on around them, and from the balcony he reaches at the end, Subaru sees what can only seem like the end of the world...and who in the world is standing behind him?

Man, there wasn't a single good thing in that first half, was there!

Even after things ended like that, the place he returns to is the same. That's "Return by Death". Right after returning, Subaru is on the verge of putting his hands on the slender neck in front of him, but after Subaru barely manages to hold himself back, he clings to the one beloved dragon that he can trust right now.

Subaru had decided to take different actions than he has up to this point, but this trial and error is, in some sense, a refrain from arc two. Incidentally, to the author, arc six has lots of elements of all the arcs up to this point. If you look at it that way, it might be interesting!

"I waited four hundred years for that proposal!"; even if you were kept waiting, that's too long to be left waiting. You should give up on a guy like that.

Subaru feels like there's some suspicion behind Julius' reaction when he enters the room, but that's a sense of unease due to not knowing what went on last night, so they're not on the same line of thought.

Julius speaks of his feelings and Subaru, who knows nothing, is taken aback, and it ends with nothing more than that. Many people who know of the named chapter probably found that painful, didn't they.

Subaru was able to speak confidently with Julius thanks to Shaula watching over him as his ally. Moreover, he won't accept speaking ill of Patrasche, even by Shaula. I wonder if a day will come when he can take back his trust in Shamac...

As Shaula boasts of being "A convenient woman for Master!", it seems that Subaru, who has the absolute minimum faith in Subaru Natsuki, can't stand to not reward her. Having said that, his trust in his original self isn't high enough that he thinks that this is actually a reward.

"Mama" and "Elsa" are beings that have had a big influence in Meili's life. You're already well aware of Elsa, but you probably don't have a good impression of Mama either.

There were a lot of retakes of licking her lips before whispering! (lol) I was watching during the dubbing! (lol)

After a moment of lost consciousness, when he next wakes up, he sees Meili with handprints on her neck. Subaru desperately tries to remember, but nothing comes of it, and when he looks at his painful arm...

The ending really fit well with episode 69, but the author things it fits even better with today's. What does everyone think? Please let me know in the comments.

And with that, today's episode was brought to you by the look on Subaru's face when he sees something he shouldn't have! And at that point, thanks for joining us again this week! Arc six has begin, in lots of different ways! The heavy feelings you're getting a taste of can be cleared away next with the mini-anime! Let's keep that promise again today!

Well then, thanks again for this week! Please come again next week! Will the situation get better!? Won't it!? Won't it!? Look forward to it!

Rough translation:

Re: Zero begins again this week! Well then, things ended on that note last time, but how will they go this time!? Let's have fun with it!

Last time, Subaru seemed strange, but in the end, what on earth happened? He's speaking quite carefreely now, though.

Emilia and Beatrice try to deal with a Subaru who has forgotten altogether everything, but given the situation, it's difficult to judge what to do.

Compared to what Subaru is saying, Emilia and Beatrice's responses are quite mature, or maybe you'd say they show understanding. Well then, what's going on in their hearts, time will tell...

Incidentally, with Subaru in this state, his bangs are just a teensy bit lower, and it's cute. His eyes are shining, too. If you're able to, please compare with episode one.

Subaru is on pins and needles here, but it's his first meeting with his friends since ending up like this. There's no way for him to know, but there are people here for whom it's quite harsh to be treated like they're being met for the first time. Yep. yep. yep.

When Shaula clings to him and his face goes red, it shows a bit how he is now.

Subaru and Ram are speaking in a place without anyone else there, and that's a result of Ram understanding the intent behind "I'd like to.". Unexpectedly, some part of her is able to read the room; if we say that, does it change your impression of her?

Ram, too, is unable to accept that Subaru has lost his memories here. More than anything, it's because she's lost her guide for how she should feel about Rem. Ram's desperation has that kind of background behind it. Well, it's not like Subaru understands that now!

Julius is finally able to speak to Subaru here, so it seems that the initial shock has worn off. The planned talk about Anastasia = Foxidna also needs to happen, so we can finally do that.

In addition to Subaru losing his memories, upon hearing Anastasia speak about Foxidna, even Emilia ends up blurting out a response. Having said that, leaving it at "pestered" is just Emilia's personality, and Subaru would probably have said something worse. Well, he wouldn't now!

With Subaru unable to operate properly now, and Emilia taking the lead here, you can feel her development, and as the author, I like the way that feels. Well, one might wonder what everyone's' thoughts on Subaru are as he's following her.

You might have forgotten so I'll explain: the third floor is where it's possible to read the "Books of the Dead". Since that's where they found Subaru collapsed, what on earth could have been the last thing he was looking at? Thinking about that might be important for deciphering arc six, maybe?

"Status Open!" is actually something he also did in episode one. He accepted that, and trying out other skills, but sadly it seems all of his skills have been reset along with his memory loss...

A dream? Must have been a dream!

The first half is over! It was heartwarming! It looks like life in another world will work out!

As Subaru says "Again", people who note little details might wonder if "Emilia-chan" got a bit of a reaction. Nothing good will come from worrying about it, so it's fine to just forget it!

Somehow or other, as Subaru feels like he's arrived at the same place, Emilia and Beatrice's reaction seem familiar. Hmmm, could it be a dream??

Dreaming of the future is quite a strong cheat skill indeed. If you follow this, you should be able to find the best way past all problems! Most impressive! This is life in another world! Yeah!

Once again, Subaru peers at the stairs. In the end, what happened to him? He's working up the nerve to find out, but...

Unintentionally overhearing people speaking about him while he's not there, it does leave him with a few uncomfortable feelings.

In terms of a reward for having a few uncomfortable feelings, isn't this going a little too far?

Good heavens! Taking an attitude like that with Beako! Even though Beako is like a saint or a mother!

Having accidentally ended up at a place with a guy who, in various senses, has no mercy for the weak, he ends up having a really rough time.

Subaru's grieving here is a result of searching for a reason this is happening to him, and thinking back that "When mom told me to 'take care', I didn't want to wash the hot chocolate cup, so I didn't answer." must be it. Subaru's life was so normal that he can't think of another reason...it's that kind of story.

He went through some pretty harsh things, and with those being repeated, his heart is breaking. If you're wondering if more or less correctly grasping the situation leads to hope, it doesn't.

Sadly, the actions that this memoryless Subaru takes to help himself conflict with a particular rule...

And with that, this week is already over! Although it's always the same, although every thirty minute round is the same, thirty minutes is just too fast! What is God thinking? Isn't time being used improperly? Couldn't thirty minutes of Re: Zero be turned into three hundred minutes? Let's adjust a few other things while we're at it!

And with that, thanks again for this week! With arc six finally begun, with arc six leaving you wondering what will happen, how it'll happen, and what the plan is, please look forward to next week and learning what will happen, how it'll happen, and what the plans is for arc six as it's finally begun! Well that, thank you very much! After thirty minutes, please watch the mini-anime too! See you next week! Byebye!!

Rough translation:

Yeah! This week, too, it's time for Re: Zero! Last time, it turned into an unexpected named episode, but this time is different. In other words, it'll be a peaceful slice of life! Slice of life!? In the tower!? Around that point, please join us again this week!

Last time was Julius' named episode, and due to him having gone off on his own and making quite a mess of it, Emilia is quite indignant. And since we have credits going by, the opening is...

So that's how Emilia-tan's clothes turned out! Cute!

Incidentally, according to Otto, Patrasche speaks in a lady-like fashion, so amongst Subaru's friends, it's most similar to Frederica. As a pair of ladies, it does seem like they'd get along well.

Well now, Big Sister isn't soft on the topic of measles in men. Having said that, when you think about what she's hoping to gain for Rem in this tower, it's something that can't be helped.

Incidentally, one might think of trying the approach of having Emilia, who's already cleared it, participate in someone else's test, but in that case, Reid might become a bit more serious, so it might be more dangerous.

Shaula's sense of time is, just as you should understand from her having waited in the tower for four hundred years, quite different from normal. She may look carefree, but the truth behind her words is... loneliness, perhaps?

Further, in the case that Reinhard had come along, Reid would get serious for the second floor's "Test", so it's the kind of crappy setup where it gets needlessly difficult.

In the original story, in this meal scene, Emilia took it at face value and said "I'll think seriously about becoming your teacher, Shaula." after Shaula praised her. If you're not careful with praise, she might start trying to become a cook instead of a queen. Let's be careful.

About the cute interactions that Subaru and Beatrice have here and there, they're fun to write, so I just end up adding them before I know it... It's become a habit. Making them poke fun at each other.

There's an upper limit to the number of people that can enter the green room, so if you try and enter the room in large numbers, the room's spirit will be displeased. If it goes too far, entering and leaving may be forbidden, so it's not a good idea to make it upset. Shaula? It's been displeased with her since long ago, wouldn't you think...?

Since he can sleep peacefully on this hard-looking bed of stone, Subaru is either used to living in another world, or perhaps the green room's spirit has the power to guarantee comfortable sleep even on a stone bed. The latter seems right, so we'll go with that.

About the white birds that helped out while they were on the way to the tower, things were so busy once we arrived, the birds' existence was forgotten. For them to not only be within the tower, but also there along with Foxidna... what could it mean?

That's quite a few birds... Given that even Reinhard wasn't able to make it to the tower, does that mean Reinhard is less than a bird...?

Incidentally, Foxidna calls herself 'boku'. Reid refers to himself using 'ore', Meili uses 'watashi', and Shaula uses 'A~shi'. Try and be careful when writing that.

And now, looking further into Subaru Natsuki's origin...! Looking back on it now, this man is just too suspicious... who in the world is he? (From Foxidna's point of view)

The birds head out! In the world of Re: Zero, birds can read the room...!

After the battle in Priestella ended, it took over half a month to reach the current point in the tower. When you think of it like that, Julius' shock here is all the greater, isn't it.

Including what happened last time, there may be a lot of people who think the author enjoys making Julius suffer, but I don't want you to misunderstand. It's not just Julius!

I think I've spoken about it before, but due to a defect in her gate that she was born with, Anastasia's body isn't able to take in mana from the outside. In cases were you can't use mana, you instead use your od, which is something like the core of the soul, so when she overdid it on the second floor, it put quite a burden on her.

Julius' feelings are quite complicated. Julius is a man of reason, so you could say it was going to turn out like this. It would have been better if he could become more emotional, but all the knights in Re: Zero are bad at expressing emotions.

As Ram was able to turn back at this point, she is able to calmly judge her current situation. Having said that, the fact that she almost went was due to her impatience when thinking about Rem, so the state of her heart is... as you can see.

Subaru comes to a sudden realization and starts running. Well now, what will result from his sudden inspiration...!?

A wake-up call from Emilia, Beako, Rem, and Patrasche. When this happens, the scene really looks like Subaru's harem.

Something we've heard somewhere, a cry heard ten years ago, isn't it...

And with that, we'll say that the sponsor this week was Foxidna with a sword pointed at her, so thanks for joining us again today! With the night passed, I'm sure everyone has a lot of questions about what is going on and why, but let me say just this. The main story of arc six, "The Corridor of Memories", begins here.

Well now, have you finished watching the main story? Yes, by watching the mini-anime, you will truly complete the viewing. This time, too, it's Julius' "Promise-keeping Memo"! Make sure to chew through all of it to the end, and lets look forwards to tomorrow!

Rough translation:

Well then, once again I hope you'll join with us! Today, if you ca-ca-ca-can believe it, it's a named chapter! That means someone is guaranteed to have a really big role. Alright!

It's begun! But! When have we seen this scene...

Yeah! It's the opening! We've got an opening this week!

The start really seems like it would make you think, but what on earth was it hinting at? Last time, after climbing to the second floor, they encountered a red-haired man. He called himself "stick swinger", but exactly what is going on with that, and what could it mean...?

Additionally, Shaula continues to sleep.

Red hair, blue eyes...

Incidentally, when the red guy says "omee", it's written in katakana. That's important for his character presentation, so keep it in mind.

Incidentally, despite being right-handed, he's holding the chopsticks in his left hand.

The 'Jiwald' that Anastasia (Eridona) is blasting left and right is a light magic attack spell. It's the same class as fire's 'goa' and such, and if it hits, it'll do damage just fine. If it hits.

Julius is being handled like a child, but even with his contract with the lesser spirits on the verge of breaking, his skill with the sword is in the top five in Lugunica. The third, perhaps.

Player substitution! After a battle of wits (!?), Emilia takes things in an advantageous direction, go!

Producing lots of ice weapons, sending them flying, picking them up and attacking with them; this is Ice Brand Arts. In truth, it's supposed to be really strong, but her opponent is skilled.

Pervert! Scumbag! Archbishop! In Subaru's repertoire of abusive language, these are the top three!

It's the redhead man so he's unruffled (?), but if he was struck with that much ice using Emilia's arm strength, Subaru would probably have died.

Onee-sama's cold eyes. But it can't be helped. Aside from Emilia-tan, it seems unlikely that anyone will be able to pass.

The camp is strongly opposed to Emilia-tan going to the upper floor alone. They understand quite well.

Subaru and Emilia saw his battle with Regulus, so their evaluation that he's in Reinhard's class is likely not far off the mark. Well, it's a view that feels like even with that, he's still not enough.

Oh! Here's a picture that you can't see anywhere else! The truth is, just for this moment, we asked Otsuka-sensei to prepare characters that weren't designed yet, the national flag, and such. Yeah, we're so spoiled.

The name of the "stick swinger" is revealed! It's revealed!

That name is Reid Astrea. Shaula's strong rejection is likely due to having so many unpleasant memories, isn't it.

With Julius having disappeared from the "Green Room", his path is right back to where he just suffered a painful defeat... it's not like him, this action and the truth behind it.

In his recollection of younger days, the one teaching Julius to use a sword is a person known as Rickert Hoffman. Actually he showed in before the opening of the episode, and he's the type of government official that can use a sword too. It's an unusual distribution of stat points.

Incidentally, Rickert Hoffman has a son, and he used to be up to no good with his buddies in the back alleys, but recently he's been working at the blond royal candidate's place.

The First "Sword Saint" Reid Astrea is, without exaggeration, a genius, so it's not a bluff; he really did exceed all other swordsmen three months after starting to use the sword. Before that, he's just run around using his bare hands, but he was the strongest in the world even bare-handed.

Incidentally, the eye covered with a patch isn't injured either. He puts it on because if he doesn't cover at least one eye, no one can give him a good fight, and he thinks it looks cool.

A stubborn scene with only the men who came to the tower, Subaru and Julius.

...so there's no way I'll leave you alone on these stairs, Julius.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ending...! But, it was a good episode...! It really was a good episode...!!

And with that, this week too, it's over just like that! But, it was a 'just like that' which truly had value! The sponsor is the men like up with their backs side by side, and thanks again for this week! Once again next week, look forward to see what on earth will happen! And don't forget the mini-anime on youtube after this!

This week too, it's mainly about Julius' "Promise-keeping Memo"! Watch it!

Rough translation:

Well then, it's 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday, time for Re: Zero! Incidentally, it's also the birthday of Sylphy Elmart (number 184), who appeared in season three! Sylphy is currently the head of Emilia's fan club. If she was aware of what's going on in the main story, how would she react... Regardless, along with celebrating for her, please join us again this week!

Last time, with Subaru's unparalleled modern-day knowledge, the great library was opened, but then... while I'm saying that, are those credits playing? So the opening is...

The way that the contents of the books would be expressed is something that the author was looking forward to as well. They're even harder to read that I thought. So exciting.

When you're talking about an attached library in an RPG, there's a few different things that are bound to happen. Falling into the books is one of them.

In FF5, when you'd have a battle atop the page you opened to, I like that.

Along with the sepia-colored scenery, Subaru begins a monologue...? However, someone you know has shown up.

A father who explains "If you've done something bad, you'll be punished." in a rather extreme way.

After saying that it would be neat if dust was rising from the town at this point, the author was surprised that dust was rising from a larger town than I'd thought of. Typhon was walking here and there with that attitude, wasn't she.

"Well, it was no problem at all!" "R, right, no problem at all!"

In regards to "Balleroy Temegriff" that Julius read, the details are in Re: Zero's Ex "The Greatest's Travelogue". Julius, Reinhard, and Felis went to the Empire before the Royal Selection, and ran into a lot of trouble. It's fun!

The first half was over fast, wasn't it!?

The truth is, once they've arrived at the tower, Meili's role is done and she's bored. She's pretty seriously not interested in conquering the tower.

Due to the effects of the "Blessing of Mabeast Manipulation", she was the mabeast version of the little girl raised by wolves. Afterward, Elsa was her example of humanity, so she was learning from a poor text.

There are different ways to make use of this library, but none of them are intuitive, so it's difficult. Well, the person who made it was using themselves as the standard, so that's how it went. More or less "I can do it, so others can too, right?".

Subaru takes promises lightly, and makes Emilia upset.

When she heard "a bad personality" and found the stairs, who was Emilia thinking of? A hint: It starts with 'E' and ends with 'na', and it's a seven-letter term for a "Witch of Greed"!

Isn't that odd? It's the first time we've seen it, but it feels like we've seen it a thousand times... what's an "opening"??

Even though Shaula just showed up, here's another new character!!

And it's hard to believe, but there's more credits scrolling! The opening and ending were both sacrificed...!

Emilia is impressive for having remembered.

So fast! This week is done too, are you serious!? The sponsor is Shaula, who's blowing bubbles and passed out! With both Shaula and the "Stick Swinger", it seems like there's a lot of new characters. It's the desert stage, so there's no avoiding it! Well then, what'll this "Sting Swinger" end up doing!? Get 'im, Julius, and with that, see you next week! Thanks much!

And at half past the hour, it's time for the mini-anime! Let's all make sure to remember this is how it goes!!! This week's story centers on Julius. After what happened at the end of season 3, it covers what happens to him up to this point in season 4.

Rough translation:

Yeah! With that, Re: Zero Time has arrived this week, too! Episode 4 is here so soon! Already episode 4! Subaru's group ran into all kinds of trouble last week, but what will happen this week, and why!? Check it out with your own eyes!

It's started! This voice we're hearing right from the start is...???

No, these voices are...???

A howling in the distance...???

It's c, credits! Credits means that, no way, the opening...!!

Last time, Subaru had a hard time with the unbelievably dangerous right path, and the left path that he wished would give him a break, but this time starts with a lap pillow from Emilia. Truly a trip from hell to heaven.

The space outside the dragon carriage looks unfamiliar. Beatrice greets him with a "You know" as he jumps down from the carriage, but she's pretty much always says "I suppose" and "You know".

The mysterious new character finally says something other than "I found you"! She really lets loose like someone venting their frustration.

As Beako is being squished cutely, and Subaru (who she was worrying over) is sharing (?) a hug with a girl after waking up, Emilia-tan expresses her vague feeling with her leg. I think that's really neat.

The assembled group members say all sorts of things to Subaru. Well, it's a fair exchange for being hugged by a pretty girl.

Incidentally "Don't talk too much" is an order that Shaula had mostly forgotten, but she recalled it in the joy of "Master is back!", so it's sort of like she's trying to follow it closely. It's kind of like students who only study when the teacher is watching.

Setting "Stick Swinger" Reid aside, "Sarcastic" Volcanica is really something that no one else could say. You're talking about the "Divine Dragon" there, you know.

Flugel. Can you remember where you've heard that? It's a Re: Zero quiz.

Meili has really gotten attached to Shaula for some reason, and Shaula doesn't bop Meili when she pulls her hair. It's good that they're getting along, right, right?

The way that Shaula is carrying Patrasche here, I wonder how many people get that reference...

It's partly because this is her first real appearance, but I remember laughing about how Shaula has about the same number of lines as Subaru. In Re: Zero, Subaru has the most lines by far pretty much every time.

It's a sort of a break room in the tower. An area referred to as the "Green Room" in the story, it's a place in the tower where you can obtain precious water. Incidentally, Shaula makes rough use of the room, so the spirit dislikes her. (lol)

Thinking about the first half of the last round, this relaxed moment between Subaru and Ram is important.

It's Hell's Snipe.

At Shaula's seemingly light-hearted confession, only Emilia takes it seriously and gets teary. As for Anastasia and Julius, are they only half-listening, or thinking about what it means; I wonder which.

As the camera is looking towards Shaula a lot today, Meili clinging to her back inevitably enters the scene a lot as well, but for all that she doesn't say much, her expression is saying a lot, so she's worth keeping an eye on, this girl.

"A monolith, you say. Now that you say it, it really is a monolith that you could only call a monolith. It truly was a monolith. I'm ashamed I didn't think of it myself. But I'm glad I know it now. As a monolith."

Incidentally, what they went through in season two's "Sanctuary" were "Trials". What's started here and now are "Tests". They're a little different.

At first, when Subaru touched the monolith, it was Subaru's voice, but when Julius touched it, it was Julius' voice that you heard give the "Test" question. This sort of arrangement has come up before.

Emilia-tan is cute when she fidgets after he learns she went off half-cocked. I can just see her running around going "Ei!" "Yaa!" "Na!".

It was also true with Garfiel in "Sanctuary", but for all that she's acting like the keeper, neither of them had any information about the "Trials" and "Tests", and they're really proficient as obstacles.

Anastasia stares at Julius as he trembles. What could she be thinking of? It's a deeply meaningful expression.

Incidentally, Julius is something of a history buff, so he loves historical figures, and he strongly wishes for them to be the sort of individuals he could respect and look up to. Well, Reid is the type that should have relatively large amount of real information remaining about him, so how much of that he'd been turning a blind eye to, well...

When you look closely at this white lettering, stars are popping up from them, and when you determine what star map they draw, it's really cool.

And even then, it's so fast! The ending is here so fast! Really! There was no opening, and it's ending this soon? I can't believe it!

There's an after-credit part! Yeah, that's right! There's still more! Whew, I was worried!

By the way, with him easily solving a problem that his friends couldn't break through, doesn't he seem like an amazing main character?

Subaru's knowledge of stars was useful in overcoming Regulus in season three as well, but the reason that he knows a lot about stars is that when he got homework about "Let's learn about where our names come from" at school, he learned that his name came from astronomy, and since then, he learned a lot about stars. He's a romanticist.

...If it was me, I'd take Rigel.

When the white light clears away, the "Test" has been cleared, and a vast library appears...and with that, episode 4 ends!! Even with the after-credit part, it was fast! Too fast! Was that really 30 minutes? It was! Thanks again for this week!

Our sponsors are Subaru who touched the monolith, and Julius watching from behind with his arms folded as Subaru touched the monolith. Having passed the "Test", will they be able to attain their goal of visiting the tower this quickly? The answer is next week! So with that, thanks again for this week! Please join us again!

However, when Beatrice says that she like's Subaru's expression when he's feeling confident, she has good taste.
