-Ahh, Yea Forums, Why must love fade?
Bentley Miller
Nicholas Ramirez
Because.
John Anderson
Animeonly here. Is the source of Return by Death ever revealed?
Brayden Howard
My love for the Thirst of Knowledge Incarnate will never fade
Adam Gonzalez
Unless there's a surprise twist, it's from Satella.
Jack Campbell
The anime reveals that the source is Satella, do you mean the purpose of RBD? I've only read arc's 4 and 5 but even then it's purpose is yet to be explained. In arc 4 Subaru does get to thank Satella for it personally though and it's revealed that she "loves" him and wants the best for him, so we can assume it's some sort of gift
Logan Wood
yeah that's what i meant. Was Satella being Emilia ever confirmed?
Brandon Moore
Satella looks identical to Emilia. For all we know, Emilia is a clone of her.
Jace Torres
It's confirmed that she's not Emilia
David Cooper
Anyone know why this pops up when I google best girl?
Robert Lewis
Cuz she has four dicks.
Blake Turner
Well I'm willing to make it 5
Jayden Wilson

Parker Perry
who's dat?
Nicholas Reed
You forgot the best part
>no rem
Dylan Lee
It says it in the picture. Aldebaran. Priscilla's knight. The isekai'd dude who never reveals his face, and so there's this big mystery about it.
This looks like his concept art.
Liam Smith
What's the common theory on Al as of now? I haven't read any of arc 6 yet so not sure if we get any more information
Matthew Cox
Arc 5 felt like a big drop in quality but all the Beako scenes saved it.
Ethan Martin
Satella and Emilia are two different people user. Not only that, their magic affinities are completely different. Albeit having no explanation to their identical looks, there has yet to be a connection to be found other than the fact that their both half-elves.
There are more interesting things to talk about than that. One of them being why Subaru has a huge heart boner for Satella that would put his feelings for Emilia and Rem to shame
Hudson Gonzalez
Nips still think he's Subaru. I think there's a connection there, but it's not so direct. Some people think he's Subaru's uncle.
>Not only that, their magic affinities are completely different.
Are they? Do we have confirmation that Satella uses shadow magic, and not just advanced witchy shit?
Evan Ortiz
Literally, every scene with her was interesting. Even if Subaru accepted or refused the contract, she would have been happy with either. And realizing that his choice was mixed with greed made her even happier.
She would have "preferred" him to accept since she's surprisingly fond of Subaru.
Cameron James
Is it just Subaru though? Or is it anyone who's been in contact with her? Think about it there's an entire cult dedicated to unsealing her. I'm guessing it's something related to her power rather than a personal connection with Subaru. However, it is strange that Subaru immediately falls in love with Emilia both times he gets isekai'd. Could it be familiarity with Emilia's appearance that caused him to mistakenly love her instead of the one he really loves (Satella)?
Asher Rivera
>Do we have confirmation that Satella uses shadow magic
Satella's magic can literally stop time or alter it to an extent. That's the pinnacle of Yin magic. Emilia's affinity is fire.
Ayden Mitchell
Yes. And Regulus can stop an object's time. Aldebaran is an Earth magician, and his special power is also a time warp. So, how do we know it's not just Witch Shit? In fact, isn't it almost certainly just Witch Shit?
Ethan Allen
>Nips still think he's Subaru. I think there's a connection there, but it's not so direct. Some people think he's Subaru's uncle.
I'm going out on a massive whim but I'm just gonna guess he's got something to do with Pandora simply because I think Priscilla does
Kayden Kelly
I don't remember the chapter but it sounded like Subaru was being brainwashed by listening to her. Could just be her authority.
Nathan Morris
>Is it just Subaru though? Or is it anyone who's been in contact with her? Think about it there's an entire cult dedicated to unsealing her. I'm guessing it's something related to her power rather than a personal connection with Subaru
It's put in such a way that makes the reader believe that whatever is happening with Subaru's feelings is nothing fake. Even Subaru asked her straight up if she was using magic to twist his emotions. But reading about the sincerity of how much she cares about his well-being and her last wish, it's very doubtful she's playing with his emotions. Basically, his heart is screaming to love her, but his brain is trying to reject her with everything he has. There is even a scene in an arc 3, where Subaru is floating through the darkness in a loop and becomes extremely emotional upon hearing Satella's voice.
Satella implies that they've already met before their first meeting. But of course, Subaru and the reader cannot understand this.
Luke Ortiz
All we know is that in the WN he very clearly states that he's an amnesiac with no memories of his own identity, though he knows about Japan. He also knows Satella personally, if the illusion is anything to go by.
Levi Lee
SEASON 2 WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
This is the only Isekai I have ever given a shit about
Nothing else compares. There, I said it.
Jack Adams
I've got two theories. Either Subaru got a lot farther before, and his mind was sent back to the beginning with his memories sealed, or Subaru's had pieces of someone else's soul implanted in him.
Liam James
Moreover, if Satella and Emilia were actually the same then Satella actions up to this point it has been pretty strange. In Arc 3 Satella killed Emilia and Arc 4 she possessed her out of jealousy of position Subaru held Emilia in his heart. Killing and being envious of yourself makes no sense especially if you have a natural influence over the person you want.
Grayson Ross
Don't forget that this show is an isekai too. But yes, nothing compares to re:zero
Cooper Brooks
Perhaps his eyes have deceived him?
Grayson Campbell
>he's an amnesiac with no memories of his own identity
Shit, really? Where was this said? How did I miss this?
Parker Wilson
Near the ending of arc 3
Cooper Bailey
In Arc6, Subaru is supposedly being mistaken as the sage Flugel by the sage's apprentice because of the way he smells. This implied that the Sage Flugel also had the witches scent on him, just like Subaru has. But whether this implies there is a connection between them is something else. It does imply some sort of connection Flugel had with Satella maybe, but Satella clearly shows that her love is for Subaru and Subaru only.
Parker Russell
No, it's very early in the WN of Arc 3.
Ehh... As I said, there's a very similar reaction between Al and the Satella he meets.
Does Pandora wear a dress made of darkness and consume the world around herself in shadow?
I called her a clone. I don't think there'll be any full-on timetravel.
Nicholas Wood
There's quite a few clues that suggest Subaru and Flugel are the same person, but it's also possible that it's an intentional misdirection from the author.
Gavin Gray
>Killing and being envious of yourself makes no sense.
Except it does, actually, since Satella and the Witch of Envy are separate personalities.
Dylan Nelson
>Does Pandora wear a dress made of darkness and consume the world around herself in shadow?
If she says so
Wyatt Richardson
Let's stop trying to inject Pandora into every possible role, else we may as well just say Pandora is the one eating the tower in the current arc.
Jordan Turner
Ok you just confirmed it.
Satella is Emilia in the future(past?) before she is infected by the witch gene
Adrian Price
Probably fake. Tappei has said more than once that Aldebaran's face is hidden because it would be a huge spoiler if it were revealed, so it'd be odd if he turned out to just be some random fucker that we've never seen or heard of before.
Luis Reed
And Emilia was built to replace Satella, which is why Echidna hates Emilia. Echidna doesn't want her long-time friend Satella to be replaced by some slut, so in the later arcs she will eventually team up with Subaru to stop the witch cult
Carson Miller
Witch Factor. And I still say Emilia is a clone. She's supposed to be the daughter of a witch, which is why she has a stupid amount of mana, but that's functionally impossible at her age unless Pandora is her mom or something.
Unless she's a clone. Then it's quite easy to be the "daughter" of a Witch.
Isaiah Smith
>Shaula: Eeeh, that earth dragon~? That earth dragon… isn’t really my cup of tea since it keeps glaring at me.]
>[Subaru: You… insults against Patrasche are unforgivable! Even if this world became a world in which anyone’s insults were permissible, I won’t forgive any insults at Patrasche.]
>[Shaula: Master, how whipped does that dragon have you!?]
Joshua Hall
He is goblin slayer
David Sanders
The art style is right and I've seen it from multiple sources at different angles. The claim is that it was part of a bunch of references for the animators.
Lucas Ross
She treats Satella the same way she treats Emilia, though.
Logan Howard
Maybe shes just elf racist
Ryan Walker
No such thing. Elves would have to be a type of people to be a race.
Dylan Johnson
Shut up Echidna
Easton Parker
>And Emilia was built to replace Satella,
What? We already know Emilia's past though, she's born from a male elf and a human mother. She cannot be a clone even since Stalle had nothing do to with her birth.
There is absolutely nothing except for their looks, which suggest that Satella and Emilia are the same people.
Liam Davis
>she's born from a male elf and a human mother.
Unless, of course, that refers to Satella's parents, who would also be Emilia's parents if she were a clone. Thus, Satella and Satella's parents could both be considered to be Emilia's parents, depending on what perspective you took on the matter.
Gabriel Jackson
>There is absolutely nothing to suggest that Emilia is Satella except for the fact that they look exactly the same
kek
There's also their apparent intimacy with Echidna and Minerva to consider.
Oliver Allen
How can she be so best?
Charles Walker
>subaru seeing the results of all his deaths
Now I want to see how he would react to the ifs stories
Joseph Wright
truly best girl
John King
BEST GIRL!
Brody Myers
I Iove her!
Bentley Roberts
She is a soulless witch. The true best girl is already sleeping with Chadbaru every night, as she should be.
Ryder James
>chadbaru
Alexander Howard
Would you drink her bodily fluids?
Grayson Adams
William Davis
Wait, he took his helmet off? Wasn't that maybe supposed to be a reveal or something?
William Wright
>makes him drink the tea everyday in the echidna if
What did she mean by it
Angel Anderson
It's supposedly a part of a pack of references for the animators. It would appear his face has already been designed, but I doubt this was ever supposed to be leaked to the public.
Ethan Sullivan
Because love is a spook that's only there because humans need to reproduce. Don't fall for the love meme.
Lincoln Parker
My theory on that is that Subaru is crazy. There are a handful of people who have seen both Emilia and Satella and I don't recall any of them every commenting that she looks the same. My guess is that Subaru specifically just sees her as Emilia and most everybody else just sees her as a different, distinguishable half-elf with silver hair.

I thought that was Puck and Emilia's was water, she can heal right?
Tyler Thomas
No, Emilia is fire, like Fortuna. Emilia 'heals' by getting nearby spirits to do it, she's not healing you with magic, merely directing other things to repair. Which is why her healing is kind of limited in what it can do. Rem and Felix are water aligned.
Adrian Parker

What's her relationship to that Aristocrat clown? They seem really close but it's never explained properly.
Michael Cruz
Clown regularly destroys her oni hole with his 12 inch clown cannon
Hunter Roberts
She's in love with him, he sort of plays along but was assuming she really hated him (which she did when she was younger, but sort of got over it, kinda) and is focused on trying to revive and fuck the witch in the OP. Other than that he does seem to have some concern for her wellbeing for reasons he doesn't seem to fully grasp himself.
Luis Jackson
Oh, and he needs to give her the ol' finger bang regularly or she'll literally explode.
Brody Price
>She's in love with him
How she can have such poor taste is beyond me
Caleb Clark
His fashion taste aside, he seems like a cool guy. He seems fair to his employees and serfs, does not neglect his responsibilities towards the state as an aristocrat, and does not let his status and power go to his head too much. But I'm an animeonly so what do I know?
Jack Bell
There is nothing wrong with her taste. Roswaal is very dedicated to the one he loves, why wouldn't you want that complete and utter devotion?
Camden Lee
The only contract you can get from me is my STDs sucker
Zachary Smith
He's an evil clown, but she seems into that, so I dunno.
It's weird, as far as I can gather his somewhat obsessive devotion is incredibly hot to her and she just wants it directed at her. And some other stuff about how his stubbornness and pride gives off an oni-like vibe I guess. Plus he's got a magic 12-inch dick and the ability to move basically every part of himself independently with perfect coordination, the crazy sex moves he can probably do are mind-blowing.
Cameron Wood
I love Ram.
Michael Wilson
>he seems like a cool guy.
>I’m an anime only
Sweet child
Jose Fisher
>I'm an animeonly so what do I know?
Exactly.
Gavin Bell

Oh my sweet summer child...
Easton Long
He said he would kill the dragon and so did Crusch so I thought he must be a good guy. By the way, does anyone have the political views comparison chart for the royal candidates?
David Murphy
Also sort of similar to Rem and Subaru, she thinks he's greater than he's currently being and is trying to move him towards that, in her case rather forcefully because she's a lot more direct than Rem.
Liam Smith
The chart is basically a meme and not very helpful in determining what the candidates are on about. Crusch vs Roswaal would be that Crusch doesn't want to kill the dragon, she wants it to just go do whatever somewhere else, Roswaal wants to kill the fuck out of it because he's mad at it. He's basically indispensable to the Emilia camp, but he's still an asshole clown fuck that has caused most of their problems, and the Emilia camp in general is not really the most 'good guy' camp there is.
Isaac Flores
We don't really know why he wants to kill the Dragon, so whether or not it's a reasonable or just cause is unknown. As a person, though, there's no doubt that he's a massive chode who doesn't mind completely fucking over the people around him if doing so puts him in an advantageous position.
For pretty much all of the bad things that happened in the anime, he was either directly responsible, or he saw what was going to happen and deliberately made matters worse.
Cooper Carter
As a brief rundown:
Priscilla - Wants to rule because she wants to rule, she's a bitchy aristocrat. That said, she's incredibly shrewd and the world literally does just work in her favor, anything she commands, leads, or tries to do will go well, period. Pretty much does what she wants and everyone else better step in line. She does sort of hold that people should try and have pride and has the most contempt for absolute bootlickers.
Anastasia - Wants to rule because she wants to rule. Similar to Priscilla she's incredibly shrewd and business minded, but has no magic bullshit supporting her. But on the plus side she's much less of a bitch than Priscilla is. Is meritocratically minded, but also fond of shady merchant deals and such.
Crusch - Thinks people need to stand up for themselves to be strong, so she wants to forgo the dragon's blessings. She'd maintain regular noble titles and such but definitely follows a more nobliesse oblige approach and tries to lead by example. Absolutely cannot stop getting screwed over by turbo AIDS and other bullshit.
Felt - Want to fuck all the noble orders and all the current hierarchies. She doesn't exactly want anarchy though, she has a good eye for talent and likes putting people where their talents are most suited. Also has a knight that could solo the entire rest of the world, so that helps.
Emilia - Was told by Roswaal that if she gets some dragon blood she can melt some popsicles. The anime gave her some fairly generic equality speech and while that is what she sort of thinks, it's not her motivation for the selection and in all other media her speech largely pertains just to herself and that she doesn't want them looking down on her specifically for being a half-elf.
Adam Parker
I know it's a meme chart. That's why I like it.
As expected, Crusch has the most reasonable platform. I hope she keeps being best in the latter novels too.
Isaac Walker
Yes, of them Crusch is the most reasonable. Which is why she gets mindfucked, mutilated and given AIDS.
Christopher Stewart
>I hope she keeps being best in the later novels too.
>he doesn't know.png
Gavin Gomez
That’s why I hate that, Tappei realized Emilia would have no chance against any other candidate unless they get fucked hard
Wyatt Lewis
t-tell me. Is right?
Sebastian Parker
Priscilla has the largest tits as well.
Mason Davis
Her and Subaru got aids
Eli Clark
I fairness, Felix is perfectly capable of putting her arm back on, it works just as well as before it was cut off.
Samuel Scott
Man that shit is way more gross and leaky that I thought it would be.
Thomas Collins
But Subaru is so shit already that AIDS makes him less gay somehow.
Jaxson Hall
I think reading that alone might give you the wrong idea about her situation, but he's not wrong.
John Robinson
My speciality is accurate, but completely unhelpful descriptions of things. Like Betty needing to suck out Subaru's magic farts or he'll swell up like a balloon and pop due to his broken magic butthole.
Ryder Cook
But Subaru is best boy
Bentley Hill
No he isn't.
Joseph Garcia
You know, come to think of it, after the subjugation of the White Whale, wasn't Hetaro also on the carriage with Crusch and Rem? Why was he fine as of arc 5? Did Greed and Gluttony just not see him, or something?
Ethan Sanchez
Did she make it?
Eli Baker
She's in one piece, but she's still amnesiac and on life support for the time being.
Jose Wood
She's alive, she's just a little retarded and has excruciatingly painful dragon AIDS.
Hetaro is not part of Crusch's camp. Him and the rest of Anastasia's mercs that were falling back fled at the first sign of Gluttony and got the reinforcements that showed up after things were over, so only Crusch's forces (and Rem) got fucked.
Leo Martinez
Reread the chapter. Rem says he likely saw the attack and fled with the rest of the soldiers
Hudson Brooks
First time I've dropped a series before actually picking it up.
Parker Hall
Don't worry, even if she dies eventually Felix mostly knows how to raise horrific necromantic zombies.
Eli Peterson
I mean everyone has gotten gluttony’d at this point. Subaru, Rem, Emilia, Julius, Julius’ bro, Crusch.
Levi Jenkins
The current arc 6 is the 'The Witch Cult keeps fucking people up and giving them AIDS and shit, lets try and find something to fix that' arc, so hopefully they'll deAIDS and un-retard Crusch soon™
Blake Morales
Ram hasn't. Yet.
And Otto only got his leg meats licked, because fuck eating merchants.
Easton Long
If you potatoed Ram would she just explode randomly one day?
Jackson Barnes
The issue with that is that the journey was a failure; Flugel is not at the Pleiades Watchtower. Even if her amnesia is cured by killing Gluttony, Crusch will still have the dragon aids for some time.
Zachary Garcia
Something about being potato'ed by Gluttony preserves the body. Rem doesn't require any maintenance, for example; she's in the exact same physical condition as she was in arc 3.
Andrew Gonzalez
>Flugel is not at the Pleiades Watchtower
>Implying
Robert Nelson
Yeah, but Rem still breathes and stuff, even if only barely. But the other part of how oni 'breathe' is drawing in mana to power their body through their horn, and if Ram isn't either supplied with mana directly so her body stops asking for more or isn't taking active measures to control it it just slowly accumulates around her until it eventually blows up.
Daniel Gray
How the fuck did a retard like Subaru ever figure out that the way to stop Ram from exploding was to shove rocks up her cooch? But like, not just any rocks, expensive magic rocks?
Adam Barnes
Appeasing women by putting expensive things on their person or inside their person is common sense, user.
Carson Cooper
Okay, okay.
>Flugel is not at the Pleiades Watchtower, and if it happens that he just arrived there, he's probably not going to be able to do Crusch much good by being there.
Joshua Morgan
Well they're just looking for random irresponsible magic shit that would let them break curses, it's not like they were even looking for Flugel specifically anyway, they assume he's long dead.
Matthew Stewart
I think he was implying Subaru is flugel
Noah Wood
So was I.
Landon Martin
No, they were specifically looking for the Sage. Specifically Shaula, but that was a misunderstanding.
Sebastian Martin
>Around 30 seconds had passed hugging Shaula. Subaru slowly let go of her body. In all honesty, he felt awkward, but his sense of achievement was stronger. If he were to become a guy who just handed out gifts like that. If he were to become the same as “Natsuki Subaru”――
>[Shaula: Maaster…]
>Looking at the pensive Subaru, Shaula dizzily walked towards him, her cheeks fiercely blushing. Her eyes were wet with tears, her breathing was somewhat feverish, and she was gazing at Subaru’s lips,
>[Shaula: Master, finally you’ve shown me some love…]
How wet was she at that moment?
Charles Ward
Nathaniel Richardson
Was it ever answered why Emilia introduced herself as satella in the first iteration.

It was an attempt to get Subaru to stop following her.
