| OMG!!!! This episode was FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!! We got to see best girl Beako in the Sanctuary with Echidna before shit went down: OMG! She's too cute!  Also, we FINALY got to see Pandora what she's capable of. Really amazing introduction. Also, we got to see what Regulus is truly capable of. OMG! look at his face: Fortuna losing her shit: Oh boy, oh boy: 10/10 Best episode so far! Can't wait for the next ones! ACTUAL FUCKING SPOILER!!!!! |
Mess with waifu, lose your laifu |
| Seems like Pandora's ability is to rewrite reality into her own version of it, much like Naruto's Izanagi. Witch of "Vanity" is peculiar. How is she related to the original 7 witch of sins? |
anime-prime said: Another half hour episode with no OP or ED. Pretty much "Hey, you want to add them this time?" - "Nah" - "Why Not? People love it" - "Well, we need to use the extra run time to advertise little Emilia doing cute stuff and sad stuff like laughing, crying, etc. for super long periods of time so that her mini figurines sell like candy" - "Ah, seems legit. For money purposes then". Don't tell me you have become such a cynic! I still believe in the artistry of this show and story, and I've even feeling a little empathy to Petelgeuse as hard as it may seem seeing his origin story and how its been corrupted by the witches. Another amazing episode, roll on more please! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| great episode, beatrice's past was really cute with ryuzu and petelgeuse vs archbishop of gluttony regulus was great albeit one sided in favour of gluttony. emilia's crying is too sad for me, i'm really loving this development for emilia. and i get to see menma from anohana with kumagawa's all fiction power from medaka box. damn i love this ep lol thanks re zero for the entertainment. |

Another amazing episode, roll on more please! I apologize for the misunderstanding. I liked the episode and don't mind the extra length with no OP/ED. I was just attempting to weave some humor into the post while noting that they could have fit them into the episode if they wanted to, but they chose not to for specific reasons. Sorry if I missed the mark. Good storytelling and memorable moments trump OP/ED any day. |

| I feel like the backstory is kinda meh. Like, when it gets revealed what's actually going on, these episodes will probably hit deeper. So far I seriously don't know why I should feel for any of the characters in this flashback. We obviously have some evil cultists and seemingly peaceful elves, but without any context or worldbuilding it feels rather bland |
| Pandora omitting Regulas from existence was the most unsettling moment I have since the Satella "Aishiteru" scene. Now, we have Satella ASMR hand-in-hand with Pandora ear-deafening silence. |
| Great ep. Regulus is so much funnier than Geuse. When you realize the same voice actors and actress of Geuse and Fortuna shared the same universe as Kirito and Asuna made me goosebumps, I mean they are my most favourite hero couple of all time. Emillia is so stubborn as af and she went to the seal instead of running away. 5/5 for now. |
 “Once you've been loved once and have loved once, you cannot forget it.” ― Natsume Takashi |
You weren't paying attention to the episode if you actually think this. Pandora states outright who she is.  |
| I wonder what's the link between Fortuna and Pack, they are too similar to be unrelated. |
| For now I say that Emilia should be more like Forrest Gump, and just run,like everyone say what she should do. And follow orders, because this "I won't follow orders" from Emilia, isn't working. |
 |
| When Emilia is sad I am sad I almost cried when Emilia started crying. |
| wait what was that thing with the witch factor that Geuse opened? it was showed in the previous episodes right???? it looks familiar |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| ehh wow its another OP loli witch how many is it now wont lie seeing Regulus get shit on from everyone gave me a good laugh not as much as the shot of him getting flung around. this backstory has been...uh alright? i'm sure in the future when shit actually makes sense and i have the context on why i should care about anything outside of Emila but for now im just sitting like okay these people i hardly know anything about are doing stuff still curious to see where this goes |
 |
| Since i refuse to read the spoilers the Novel readers are too excited to hide, i will just let my genuine toughts here as anime-only at this point: 100 years ago: - Who is Pandora? She seems to be the leader of the Witch Cult, but why Regulus tried to kill her without a second tought? - So Geuse was already an Archbishop even before he uses the Witch Factor? - Is Emilia the key right, WHY? Being the key is something you inherit from your Witch Mother? Who is her human/witch mother? Is that FLUGEL-sama Geuse is apologizing to? And the other side plot: 400 years ago: - Beatrice was already a detestable spirit or at that time she was a detestable human girl? - Roswall, or Ancient Roswall, how the f* he stopped to age, is he the same or it is a clone? - Was that before the Witch of Envy's mayhem right? And back to present: Emilia should never become so crazy of guilty. COME ON, she was being chased by ABSURD strong enemies. She never had any chance to scape the fate of the Seal. |

| Betelgeuse, what developement he got in this episode! To the point you kinda want to rewatch the last arc in first season again. Also, ending boss material there, Kugimiya Rie. But how do you even fight someone who manipulates existence, reverting cause and effect on will? Can Subaru even stand against Pandora in the future, even with his ability? This is honestly worse than memory whale or those hungry rabbits. Completely on different level. Okay, and now stop for a bit - why do you think Betelgeuse worshipped Satella with all his heart to the point he even build a cult around her? The reason could be that be that Satella was effectively created when young Emila unlocked those doors! That would explained her look-alike, that would split her personality or rather create new witch from the scratch. That would also mean that Pandora is the mother of all witches and every witch was created by her. She just used Emilia to do so. Kinda wonder what's Echidna to her. |
| Maybe it's just because I watched this high, but did Pandora just erase Bishop Corneas entirely from existence? Like what happened with Rem, but this time she didn't even leave behind a body, just Geuse's memories? Damn, she's powerful. |
  |
MomoSinX said: Also could Puck be actually Fortuna turned into a spirit? They say very similar stuff to each other. I don't think so. The reason being is that Fortuna is voiced by Tomatsu Haruka and Puck is done by Uchiyama Yumi. And japanese anime tend to honor the roles usually so I guess it's someone else completely. But I just realized they fit in Matsuoka and Tomatsu together again, it's Kirito/Asuna all over again :D Kinda funny they lovers here too :)) |
ttcchen said: She went from saying onii-chan to "your son calls me onee-sama"best episode as of late Emilia was so absorbed in the Geuse scene that she legit forgot she's in a trial and thought she's watching Re: Zero with Echidna lmao funny how Pandora resembles Menma so much  Edit:  |

| Was this the first time we got an ending song? I don't remember tbh. That last scene with little Emilia and Pandora though 😬 Does anyone know who Geuse is voiced by? He sounds familiar also epic regulus moment for comedic relief |

Reijtaun said: You weren't paying attention to the episode if you actually think this. Pandora states outright who she is. I thought it, but actually no, saying "In the name of..." she could be talking of someone else. But it is irrelevant btw. I'm calling her Evil Little Echidna of the Witch Cult. One way or another, we got a new information: "Wtf, there are lots of Titles of Witches so, beyond the 7 deadly sins" And the Novel readers are too excited. Chill out and use spoiler tags, guys. |

| Another great episode produced by White Fox. Geuse was a brave and kind man who can sacrifice his own life for who he loves.How he turn to the most annoying character after one hundred years? I think it's Pandora caused that. It's too sad when hearing Emilia putting all this tragedy to her own mistake.It's not your fault Emilia,no one hates you and all the world exists to bless you. |
 [/url] |
| God, even though we knew there was no up from here, this episode hit like an absolute truck. I've said this before, but takahashi rie... she's too powerful. Somehow, she's made me feel too many things at once. Protect her. Protect Emilia. While Pandora inevitably led Emilia to Subaru, I won't forgive this pain :( |
| Still no opening or ending :( man.... Aside from that, this was probably my favorite episode of the season so far tied alongside the previous one. Pandora seems like an interesting figure and betelgeuse became much more likeable with these two episodes. A fantastic 30 minute episode for a fantastic season. |

Kinda wonder what's Echidna to her. i think emilia's past was only ~100 years ago, and the witches were killed 400 years ago so the timeline doesn't match. Puck also once said that no one in the mansion except Beatrice is older than him, so i dont think Pandora is that big but damn she's so overpowered. What I think is Pandora isn't a witch, but she's the founder of the witch cult to revive Satella or something, so i guess Emilia really does have a connection with the witches. btw i'm an anime-only so these are only speculations. We need to know a lot of what happened 400 years ago to clearly understand everyone's motives. man, this is soooooo good |
I love K-On, and so should you. |
| anime only: confusion 100 |
| This is this best episode so far this season IMO, I get the feeling Pandora is more twisted in the head than Regulus Corneas. It really surprised me though that Regulus turned Pandora into blood mist, came out of nowhere. Not to mention we have another basically immortal character (Pandora), to go along with Regulus and Reinhard. 10/10 episode |
| How am I supposed to decide what to write, I can't choose an anime to watch to save my life, you think I can pick a signature? |
| Looks like Pandora is Subaru's key to undoing what happened to Rem. That is if he can defeat her and take her authority. Or better yet, Add her to his harem. |

kotomine33 said: Jo_Ghost said: Not at all. Only Regulus, Pandora and the Black Snake came. They only massacred all her people and she lost 107 years of life, and her memory. It's not that bad... Who cares lol we barely got to know Geuse and Fortuna. Archi why was he even there. I feel bad for Emilia but I can't bring myself to give a shit about the other people. It's limited to Emilia's POV though, so that's just how it is in narrative-wise. What matters is that those characters "you don't give a shit" shows so much serious expression. |

mozgow said: Key story elements from this episode: [list][*]If the Seal were to be opened, the word will end this time - it implies (at least for me) that whatever it is behind the Seal it has something to do with half of the world being destroyed 300 years prior. [*]Flugel (the Sage who sealed the Witch of Envy) gave the Witch Factor of Sloth to Petelgeuse for The most OP character in Re:Zero is Reinhard :-) oh, nice reminder that Flugel is the Sage. is it just me, or the anime deliberately left many mention or detail regarding the sage for the time being? despite a key figure of the past just like Satella, i doubt many anime-only remember the sage. also CMIIW, the only one who actually got Plot armor in this series is Reinhard, not even Subaru right? |
| Pretty emotional and rough episode. Poor Emilia.. |
