Subaru may have lost his memories, but he hasn’t forgotten the importance of committing to the bit.

“Everyone is physically attractive” - a thing that people who are only attracted to one gender definitely say.

Subaru: So what are we? Julius: (How am I supposed to explain that I want to be friends, but he’s going through a one-sided “rivals-to-lovers” arc towards me?) Julius: We’re… friends. Yeah. Subaru: ? Why was there a pause there?

There’s not one left to remember left to remember Rem. But worse then being entirely forgotten, there are people who know that no one remembers Rem. This is messed up.

No you didn’t Subaru. You said exactly what you where supposed to.

I’m glad it’s canon that Subaru has watched magical girl shows (or at least familiar enough with them that he has the poses memorized)

So I know the Gluttony IF exists, and because of that, on a logical level I know that Subaru wasn’t going to go through with the plan to read everyone’s books of the dead….

But I was not comfortable with how close he got.

Yeah at this point, Subaru has lost his memories, has been possessed by [Natsuki Subaru], and is being haunted by the memories of Meili, leaving him in a very unstable state, mentally. To top this off, Reid (who is supposed to be a trial) is roaming the tower, the tower is also being attacked by a horde of witchbeasts. Also in a previous loop it looked like everyone killed each other? And then the whole tower was swallowed by a shadow? And there hasn’t been an explanation for any of this yet.

So I’m with Subaru. What IS going on.

Like I mentioned before, logically I knew that Subaru wasn’t going to kill all of his friends….

But that didn’t stop me from breathing an audible sigh of relief after reading Subaru reach that decision himself.

he’s a good person he’s a good person he’s a good person Natsuki Subaru is a good person he still cares about them he still cares about them he still cares about them-

Rather than Screenshot the entire chapter, I just decided to screenshot the title. Just…. This chapter. They trust him. They saved him. Emilia trusts him. Emilia saved him. And in return, he’s going to save all of them.

No Beatrice, Subaru’s actually completely right about all of this.

Fellas, is it gay for a man’s appearance to make you except things of of him?

(Not necessarily. But I guess if you want to read it that way, you could)

Rather than try and make my own, less funny joke, I will instead refer you to the words of tumblr user Liquidstar:

it’s so over….

we are so back.

HA GOTTEM

Subaru: I’m Nothing like [Natsuki Subaru] Also Subaru: (does the exact thing Natsuki Subaru would do)

Call me crazy but I’m starting to think that Subaru Natsuki and Subaru Natsuki are the same person.

It’s so over….

oh it is so over.

So I love the whole exchange in the corridor of memories between the two Subaru’s. So rather than screenshot the whole thing, I just made this meme:

We are so back

OH WE ARE SO BACK!

Huh. I feel like this is going to have an effect on the whole…. Royal Selection thing. Maybe it’ll be fine though.

Fellas, is it gay to um... to uh… literally blast your enemies with a rainbow?

(Not necess- Oh who am I kidding. We aren’t escaping the gay allegations with this one, fellas)

Huh? I am now very curious about what exactly happened 400 years ago.

Nooooooo Shuala! I wanted her to learn that her master wasn’t coming back and come to terms with that! I wanted her to be able to leave the tower And see the world! I wanted her to be allowed to make connections outside of her devotion to her master! I wanted her to have friends! Shuala deserved better.

So that was Arc 6.

I feel like my heart was torn out, sent on a rollercoaster ride, was stabbed a bunch of times, Was put back together with tender love and care, and then was shoved back into my body. And then that process was repeated several times.

Shaula.

“The only Loli I’ll <Mance>” sure is a sentence that I never expected to read.

Cowboy Beako fan art when????

I don’t know, something about declaring you will put extra effort into making sure the person who’s in love with you will keep prioritizing you over another woman he cares for implies that there is more than one-sided attraction going on.

But you know, maybe that’s just me.

Subaru…. Did you seriously think that Ram and Roswaal were getting it on each night? Is that what you thought was happening? Subaru???

Roswaal, why would you ever think that Subaru would take your side over Beatrice’s ever? You know what you did, Roswaal. Go back to your corner and think about what you’ve done.

Fellas, is it gay to tell the only person who renters you exist your life story?

(Not necessarily, but it sure doesn’t make your situation less gay)

Emilia: Subaru would never say nonsense!

Ram: Think about what you just said.

Emilia: Subaru would never say nonsense when it’s important!

Subaru: Thanks guys, really feeling the love.

I want it highlight this moment because at the time, I thought that this death, with Beatrice crying over Subaru’s dying body, and then them both dying together, was going to be the most emotionally tragic moment of the arc for me.

I was wrong.

I was very wrong. The emotions were just getting started.

THEY TRUST HIM THEY TRUST HIM THEY SEE HIM AS A FRIEND THEY RELY ON HIM THEY TRUST HIM-

HA GOTTEM

So Shaula’s actually one of the funniest characters in Re: Zero. And I think it was a crime that Flugel decided to keep this comedy genius of a woman stuck in a tower for 400 years.

In the middle of a rather emotional conversation, Julius decides to drop in a “Quick Historical tidbit”. What a nerd.

Fellas, is it gay to realize you’re narrative parallels for each other as one of you helps the other climb down a long set of stairs?

(Once again, not necessarily . You can be narrative parallels without being gay for each other. But it certainly won’t help with beating the allegations)

Hey, stop being so cute Re: Zero. You’re going to make me lower my emotional guard, and when things go horribly wrong in a few chapters, I’m not going to handle the emotional whiplash.

AAAA WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE AND IN LOVE!?!?!

So, I knew this was going to happen, and because of that I assumed that I would be prepared for everything else that was going to happen because of this arc. I WASN’T PREPARED.
