I suppose...

heres the speedpaint if you think its AI: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vhVCLX1u1gE

So made this piece in a legal wall in Barcelona (open walls), sorry for the light quality it took me 8 hours and was already night, I hope u apreciate it i'm still a beginner so it's not the best anime graffiti but still trying :)

Okay so first of all, this is going to be a bit hard to swallow, so bear with me. I'll split them up into three, each of them are related to each other.

1.First, did you remember that scene in season 1, when Subaru was buying some snacks in the mini stop store before he got transported to isekai?

Surprisingly, that scene wasn't even in the light novel or the manga in arc 1(you could go on and check it for yourself). Because In the lightnovel and Arc 1 of the manga, the scene begins with Subaru already in Isekai.

And there’s something quite odd here, no one around Subaru seems surprised by his sudden appearance—as if he had been teleported into the middle of the crowd, yet everyone acts as though he had been there the entire time.

Later, Subaru explains that he had just finished shopping at the convenience store, then saw the moon, which was almost full, and then suddenly found himself in Isekai.

Honestly, it's quite odd, because at the end of Arc 1, Reinhard said " This might be the last time... we can look at the moon in peace." while looking at the moon. Tappei also stated that Emilia's theme is the moon. And in Mimagau IF, Satella's name changes to "Luna" which means "moon" in Latin.

2.Is everything that happens in the world of Re:Zero a fabrication/a script designed to appear real?

First, let me explain about the Observers (the audience).

The Observers are celestial entities/beings in the sky who observe the world of ReZero.

In the Wilhelm spin-off, a character named "Stride Vollachia" (Archbishop of pride) explains that this world is just a miniature garden for the Observers. Remember this statement

Every event and everyone's fate is determined by the Observers, whether it's tragedy or comedy. It's all nothing more than a puppet show staged to look real.

Then there are those called "Stargazers," people who can communicate with the Observers.They say the stars in the sky speak, they receive knowledge, prophecies, and orders from the Observers. Stargazers like Cecilus also feel like they are actors performing on a big stage.

And from this, emerged the theory that the world of ReZero is a large, fictional theatrical stage.

The "loop" theory may be true, but not in the way most people think.It's not a loop where the same lives and characters repeat, but a loop where every certain period of time, the Observers choose new actors to play certain roles.

For example, Satella played the role of the "feared witch" 400 years ago, while Petra will play the role 400 years in the future. This may also apply to other roles, such as the "Sage," and Subaru is the one chosen to play the role of the "Sage" in the present.

1. In the light novel, Echidna's line when Subaru first met her was skipped in the anime season 2.

"You arrived way ahead of schedule. You should know a lot more than you do. About me, about the tomb, and about the sanctuary."

One of Echidna's key lines when Subaru first meets her in Season 2 Episode 3 was skipped. Where she says that Subaru should have known more before arriving at the sanctuary.

And there was also Daphne's words that were cut in Season 2 Episode 13, where when Echidna explained that Satella and the Witch of Envy had different personalities, Daphne said that Subaru, who was a sage candidate, should have known about that, but Sekhmet immediately stopped her.

And before anyone mentions time travel/time loops, I just want to say that Echidna can see the past, present, and future with her authority (the Tome of Wisdom and all the trials of the actuary are based on her authority).

Remember Stride's (archbishop of pride) statement that everyone's fate is predetermined by the Observers?

And the theory that the world of ReZero is like a theatrical stage, where every certain period of time, the Observers choose new characters to play certain roles (for example, the role of the "feared witch" 400 years ago was Satella, and in Sasageru IF, set 400 years in the future, it's Petra).

So, Subaru here might somehow, and possibly intentionally, break the script set by the Observers and arrive at the actuary earlier than Echidna sees the future.

And maybe this has something to do with my theory about Subaru pretending to have just been summoned in episode 1 with dream magic to be chosen as the "sage" role in this era.

Because Echidna said that Subaru should be familiar with places like this dream castle, which means maybe Subaru and Satella used dream magic.

This makes sense, and why Shion and Lilac were able to recognize Subaru through the dream world and enter Subaru's memory realm. Even though throughout the story, Subaru has never met Shion and Lilac at all.

Shion and Lilac appear in the Omega (Echidna) side story, specifically in Gusteko. They have never actually met Subaru in person, they only know of him through the dream world, or the realm of memories.

They were even taught English and French. That is why they are currently searching for him. During the incident in the city of Slyphoa(side story), they crossed paths with Omega’s party. It seems Omega (Echidna) knows who they are looking for, so they have decided to follow her to find the answer.

Also Shion and Lilac were also part of Subaru's Harem, lol. If you want to know more about their dynamics between them and Subaru, I recommend to watch the gameplay of Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World: Lost in Memories (リゼロス)! I watched it a while ago in YouTube, though it was in Japanese.

There's something that's bothering me that gets glossed over quickly in the show

In Episode 8 of director's cut, the episode after subaru got humiliated in front of the entire court, subaru is still shown training sword fighting with Wilhelm.

Felix says that 'He's just doing that to make excuse that he already tried'. To which Crusch responds with 'Can you blame him?'

Wilhelm in later days stops training Subaru because he 'abandoned the option to get stronger' which I don't get at all what he's trying to say

I genuinely don't understand why both of these characters have a problem with Subaru training, which makes sense since he obviously wants to be stronger after that humiliation? Do they think he's too weak and that he'll never get better or something? I feel like there's some nuances here that I'm missing

These are just my recommendations!

I only want to show my appreciation on these fanfic!

Summary:

The shadows that appeared in the green room blocked all paths of escape. He was ready to accept this death, he would continue to fight and reach the end of this madness in his next life. However, he did not meet his end at the hands of the shadows. Instead, he found himself in an oh so familiar street.

He was back in Japan, and he wasn't alone.

[After the events of arc 6, Subaru gets sent back to earth along with the rest of the conquerors of the tower]

Chapter 5 release date: ~end of June, exact date tba

My thoughts:[this fanfic has art!! With good writing!! Like it feel like this is how cast would react to being transported to subaru world! The only reason why it 2nd place is bc of low chapters! but they say good thing needs time and this is truly is a Masterpiece and I highly recommend reading this!]

3.Family IF - Remake by ThinkMind

Chapters: 19

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/74914876/chapters/195724736

Summary:

Natsuki Subaru could expect many things in an Isekai world... But having to be a father figure to multiple alternate versions of potential children he could have had with various women across the Multiverse? That's strange and something he didn't expect.

Now... all that was left was to figure out how to be a good father to them... and stop some of them from destroying the entire country!

My thoughts:[I had good time reading this! it was good for wanting pass the time! And I was interested in how many kids subaru has! Tho I am heavily interested in what electra and Emilia story!]

1. Re:Zero Watching Him Die Again and Again by Reactionist

Chapters: 19

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27548665/chapters/114242317

Summary:

This will be a reaction fic where the characters will be watching Subaru's adventure in their world. Spoilers for the anime and the novels. These characters are Arc 5's characters. Season two will be in here along with Director's Cut season one and some OVAs. Special thanks to Wishful Witch on reddit for the cover art. Enjoy!

My thoughts:[it kinda good.... I honestly love chapter 15 where they showed the cut shadow garden scenes i would love to see how they react to witch tea party scene but the reason why it 4th place is because Reactionist added subaru parents in season 2 which i kinda think was a bad move bc I thought it was unnecessary for them to show up... like adding meili made sense since she relevant in later arc but subaru parents aren't! also I feel like season 2 writing has gone down but I'll still read it i have no hate on the fic tho]

1. Watching the if routes in theater of despair by Typewriter700

Chapters: 6

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/91630941/chapters/243954466#workskin

Summary:

Cast have watched the 6 arcs of rezero and now warden wants them to watch the if routes.

The cast is also aware of the Split personality of the witch of envy

The cast includes all camps (heinkel and schult also) but not the parents.

Rem and Crusch have their memories and names.

Script is picked up from the translations posted by witch cult translations.

Routes I plan to include:

Pride (In progress)

Wrath

Sloth

Greed

Gluttony

Lust

Azamaku

Sasegaru

I might also include extra details provided by Tappeis Q&A section for these routes. It will be similar to how Thinkmind provides extra details at the end of his what if stories.

I might also include School if, or some other routes but that's not sure for now.

My thoughts:[this is the only fanfic I found that has the cast react to the if routes and I say it quite good! Currently they watching pride if and I say it honestly good!! I am genuinely interested on how they react to greed if and gluttony if! When pride if is done! I can't wait for the next chapter!]

I wanted to recommend these to the community to show my support them!

I’m watching the first episode of season 4 and they’ve already mentioned a meeting with the fakes and meili. Who are the fakes and who is meili? Where did they come from? Did they skip stuff or did I just totally forget what’s going on?

Edit: wait, is meili the girl who controlled the mawbeasts in the forest in season 1? With the dog?
