now that we already know the story of Emilia before, we all know the meanings behind Betelguese's words in episode 15 and how most of it is also something that he might've said to himself in that moment. All of those words now carries a lot of weight since most of us already know what they meant to him. just an edit since no one has said it before, Betelguese's voice actor is also Kirito from Sword Art Online.

Most Sane Oreimo Fan

Well i'm not complaining about anything son, and i'm getting vibes with..hum...well... maybe at the very begining of the show when he says like : wtf where i am i, in a virutal world where i'm the hero and then he's showing he's phone and all and saying he still got his contact like his family, and then her waifus shows up, it's my personal opinion so stop think that i dont like this show or something, it's just strange how the story remind us time to time that he doesnt belong to this world, and he is not talking about that at all like he is amnesic or something

LifeNote

This isn't SAO, if you're expecting this to be anything like SAO and are going to complain when it's not, please just stop watching now. How tf you're getting SAO vibes is a fucking mystery to me.

Jev Cor

now it's getting interesting :D

Mecca

I know i know but i was just guessing guys ^^ , because for me it's got a sao vibes and in sao we like constantly talking about irl life so thats it...

LifeNote

Just wait lol, it'll come up naturally when necessary, they won't hamfist a flashback into an episode. It coming later and recontextualizing what we already know & judged about him adds to the experience.

Jaerek

Well, I mean to us 😁 Like no flash back or anything ? Only his phone? It's a little weird how it's going for me ^^

LifeNote

With whom should he talk about that ? Also the last time he said something even just implying that he is from another world, when he snapped at Emilia, he got stopped by the witch.

Ryuuji Gremory

How did he got into this world tough ? i mean he is from our world i mean and we saw on his phone his family contacts why isnt he speaking about all that ?

LifeNote

Her face says it all 😂

Shijio Hirojima

Also, when Subaru said "this isn't what I wanted" when he was at the village, he was thinking of how in episode 14 he was kinda hoping there would be trouble so he could save the day & make up with Emilia. This was a wakeup call for that. And each candidate in episode 16 teach him a lesson, about controlling his emotions (Crusch), his dependence on Emilia (Priscilla) and about negociation (Anastasia)

Jaerek

thanks for this reaction, loved it.

D Reed

Wrong.

Shaw

People who hate on Subaru are low IQ incels. Getting mad over fake anime girls, shits pathetic.

Jev Cor

Haha the sales man like dont flirt in front of my shop

LifeNote

Emmanuel..... did okabe ever die though? not only is suburu witnessing ppl around him dying but he is also experiencing his own death over and over and over again and that can't be fun times.

Sayyongtou

i don't think she needs to since ppl said that the extra scenes will be on season 2.

Sayyongtou

have you not been to the middle east when your house could get bombed and not being able to rbd back to save your loved ones?

Wallet

betelgeuse needs a snickers about now

Wallet

Make sure to watch the director's cut for the last 2 episodes

look to the right Wallah it's the magical Village

Hi smf, any chance to have Bleach today or tomorrow? it was a long while since last reaction...

emersonsm

The idea was that he'd gone through a shock to the point where he completely shut himself off to the world. There's a difference in "pretending to have lost his mind" vs "having lost his mind to the point where he's continuously deluding himself in regards to the outside world". His loss of sanity/mental stability was just not in line with what Petelgeuse knows.

Jaerek

In the quote you just linked, Nagatsuki says "more or less". As in while there's truth in what Petelgeuse said about him "pretending. It's not like he didn't lose his sanity at all. It's simply that he didn't lose it to the degree was acting as. Like it says in Volume 5 of the light novel. After Subaru is faced with the question of why he's "pretending" to be insane, the book narration says that Subaru could not listen to those words, because he shouldn't know or realize those words. And it says he had ignored this fact "simply sealed it away and pretended not to look at it." Then he thinks to himself "I don't hear you. I'm not listening. It's all the ravings of a madman. None of it hit the mark. None of it arrived at any truth." In denial of what was said. To say that none of it was pretending seems to be an interpretation that contradicts what is being said. But to say that all of it was pretending is ignorance of what is actually taking place.

Zaj

no. Such a superficial understanding of what was happening. Just no.

Matthew B

It's a popular myth/interpretation, but Subaru WASN'T *pretending* to be broken, Petelgeuse thought he was because he has a clear cut image of insanity in his head and Subaru's just a "beginner". Subaru had shut himself completely off to the outside, and it took a major shock to bring him back. Here's the author's words: https://www.reddit.com/r/Re_Zero/comments/f9xkza/translation_authors_twitter_comments_on_episode_8/ "More or less, Subaru isn't pretending to have lost his mind, it's just that from Petelgeuse' point of view, he's such a beginner at having lost all his sanity points, so he got told off for not being good enough at it."

Jaerek

I wish people would stop taking Petelgeuse's line literally. Subaru WASN'T *pretending*, Petelgeuse thought he was because he has a clear cut image of insanity in his head and Subaru's just a "beginner". Subaru had shut himself completely off to the outside, and it took a major shock to bring him back. Here's the author's words: https://www.reddit.com/r/Re_Zero/comments/f9xkza/translation_authors_twitter_comments_on_episode_8/ : "More or less, Subaru isn't pretending to have lost his mind, it's just that from Petelgeuse' point of view, he's such a beginner at having lost all his sanity points, so he got told off for not being good enough at it."

Jaerek

Subaru was just pretending to have lost his mind if you didn't notice in the couple times it was mentioned by Betelguese.

Zaj

Guts, just without the Return by Death part.

Theron Hunter

as much as i don't like the character. that voice acting is amazing and kinda cool that he also voices kirito from sword art online.

Sayyongtou

Here's where the fun begins.

Frank Rosales

There are plenty who've suffered as much if not more, but when it comes the kind of situation he's in the only I could think of that's comparable is Okabe from Steins; Gate.

Emmanuel

Episode 15: I love-hate Beteguese, he steals the show in a fucked up way. Really artistic ending and the end always reminds me of Dark Souls. Rem is a gem. And this is suffering, truly the Outside of Madness (still loving the title at the end). Love the call on Betelguese licking Subaru. Episode 16: I think its very easy to sympathize with Subaru and think ill of the other candidates, but try and look at it from the perspective. He made a fool of himself at the palace meeting and got beat up by a knight after accepting a duel that he had no right taking. Then he goes around asking desperately for help to fight against some shifty ass people. Subaru makes no effort to help them and basically demands (especially this loop) they fight and potentially die. He's also taking his frustration out on them and even Rem. Of course knowing the outcome we want them to help. And we first see [REDACTED], it was foreshadowed in the earlier loops remember. Can't wait for the next reaction. another 2 episodes is a great chuck to watch.

Gabe

It's basically impossible to imagine his situation or empathize with Subaru. I don't anyone has every experienced the fucked up shit Subaru has irl. Hopefully not. FeelsBadMan

Shaw

Betelgeuse is a translation error it’s actually “Petelgeuse” with a “P”

Kay M

Yeah Episode 15 and 18 are legendary. When this show was first airing the whole anime world was in an uproar. LOL that was fun times

Shaw

Hey Jamie, what are your thoughts/opinion on Subaru thus far? I want to know how you feel about his decisions compared to other reactors.

S1orys

I agree. In many cases people were already fed up with Subaru's role in these few episodes. They don't really consider the mental stress he's been through and think they would do better in his position. Let's be honest, viewing as a third person is very different than actually experiencing it.

S1orys

for real man i wonder how will she take ep 18

Gin_TaMan

Ep 18 is gonna be a different experience I hate and love reactions to that episode because people lose sense but I love when people take a step back and think clearly about it before they start talking. Now I'm just waiting to see what kind of path this go

jac jacob israel

If they ended the season on episode 15 it would been such a shocking ending and cliffhanger. The soundtrack and everything was great at the end of episode 15. You should make Betelgeuse a husbando.

My feels senses are tingling
