Emilia's Trauma... Re:Zero Season 2 Episode 5 Review/Analysis

Emilia's past haunts her...Here's my thoughts on Re:Zero Season 2 Episode 5, or "Re:Zero Episode 30".
Last Episode: • Yep, I cried... Re:Zer...
Next Episode: • Elsa is a Problem. Re:...
After saying goodbye to his parents and passing his trial, Natsuki Subaru returns to Sanctuary and talks with Roswaal, who is revealed to be responsible for the Witch Cult attacks in Season 1. Subaru meets Ryuzu (lewes) and is also told that Beatrice has something important to ask him. He returns to the mansion, only to be killed by Elsa, The Bowel Hunter, marking his first death of Arc 4 and his second death in Season 2.
This was another excellent episode, probably the best episode this season other than S2E4 or "episode 29".

For me the highlight of this episode is Emilia's panic attack. As for the thing that stood out to me, were all the open doors in the mansion. My guess is that Elsa knew about Beatrice's ability, and that if you open all the doors in the mansion Beatrice won't be able to escape using door crossing. Biggest question i have is when will Subaru respawn and how much time he has before Elsa attacks the mansion?

What if the Witch of greed is just Emilia, but her other half. Like the Skeksis & the urRu from the Dark Crystal. But in this case Emilia has all the capability of that realm's power, but not the know how, and the Witch has all the know how but is restrained from using it, like a gift granted from the mirror of Erised. (The Sorcerer's stone: Hary Potter.) It'd be having what you desire, but not how you desired it.

[@FaySwine]

@@MonographicSingleheaded I was thinking like poetic justice/physics, but yeah!

[@MonographicSingleheaded]

Nathaniel Beyer i imagine they had to disable her first before sealing tbh, she too stronkkkk. So they split her soul and her body, kinda like how the sanctuary barrier works.... the body of a witch developed a new ego, Emilia. While the witch remains sealed. Maybe. I imagine the incident happened because somehow the witch gained control over her vessel and.... shit happened. Thus “it wasnt me” because Emilia had to passively watch her own body kill everyone she loved.... just a theory tho.

One thing that I really enjoyed and appreciated about your analysis videos is you are really taking the anime-onlys perspective into consideration and not spoiling stuff. So thank you! Apart from the actual episode, I really always looking forward each week for your post-review and analysis as well. Just as a suggestion, maybe it would be more great if you could also include your original theories at the time when you are reading the web novel.

[@laoak7638]

Thanks so much for not spoiling anything for us anime-only's whilst still providing good theories. Also, nice gigguk reference!

[@chriss.249]

So I'm guessing Re-Zero comes out every Wednesday then? Cuz I was big chilling till u dropped this video, then had to run and actually watch the ep b4 coming back. Love your content bro and I'm ready ready for the next "Sloth"(even tho subway is anything BUT lazy here) part😂

[@grifflancer2999]

Glad I could help!

[@chriss.249]

4:21 I think it's like Wolverine in some of the comic stories Where Logan is the last survivor of sumn and people give him 2nd looks at it. In his origin, he goes into the forest after KILLING his bae on accident to run with wolves, because of his healing factor, when he experiemces traumatic events, he forgets them, which leads to things coming back to bite him later on in life. 2 ways I can see this going down 1. SHE is the one that caused it (Comics old man logan) 2. Someone else that can weird the same kinda magic as her(but FAR stronger) did it, but dipped and left her to take the blame (Sabretooth/daken/Movie X24/Feral X23 route) I think her powers can be tied to her emotions, and we will see her losing her sanity and with it, control of her powers b4 long. If she IS the 1 who caused the "ice age", I think we building up for it to happen again. All the signs are there fr No puck to keep her calm Her revisiting her past is causing her to relapse and burn away all that progress in life she made The only thing stopping her from freezing everyone over again I think is a combo of Suburu and the civilians trusting her and being kind to her.

[@Shaljroan30750]

This was a very well structured and informative video, i appreciate you!

[@AquaPJ]

I was dying for you to upload this and review it!

[@navi2710]

Rosewell is chatting BS, he's using Emelia for his own needs.

[@navi2710]

@@australiansausage2727 he admitted he wants to kill the dragon in season one of the anime.

[@superfmedina]

Last week episode is for me the best episode I've watched in any anime this year.

[@Echidnut]

Agreed

[@superfmedina]

Bro, I'm new to this channel AND it's honestly comforting to know someone who adores this series as much as I do. Not to mention, the quality of the videos are really great. Keep the amazing work.

[@Echidnut]

Thanks man!

[@coopercarrasco5071]

I love to see this guy getting the subs he deserves for his great content

[@tribopower]

1:15 "Roswall was supposed to be a good guy" lul, did people ever tought that ?

[@sisyphus4441]

The next few episodes are going to be really hard for my man Subaru

[@Saberdud]

pls spoil me

[@sisyphus4441]

CharlieGunz Ok, but how much?

[@sisyphus4441]

​@@Saberdud Rough Outline of Spoilers: Subaru has to free the Sanctuary by getting Emilia or himself to pass the trials while trying to deal with Garfiel and Roswal's schemes. He has to defeat Elsa in the mansion, so he has to save everyone in there and kill the Great Rabbit which is one of the three great demon beasts like the White Whale. Naturally, he dies a few times and has to interact with witches. Basically, a decent amount of the cast in the opening is his opposition and there are some crazy moments.

[@billiejean6520]

Really enjoying these Re:Zero vids, you bring out key points in the episode that makes it stand out compared to other anime alike the ost

[@Jasperlino12]

I’m so happy that you’re finally getting more recognition due to s2 airing, great video as always 😎🤘🏼

[@meorahmad4681]

Echidnut is that one friend I needed 3 fucking years ago when I first watched Re:Zero. Someone who can share his thoughts and give proper explanations to my questions in the most terrifyingly subtle way. You have any idea how hard it is to find a weeb? One that I can search for whenever I feel excited about a new episode and hear their thoughts about it? Very hard. It was very very hard. Those were 3 lonely years, damn right. I'm so glad I found this channel before season 2 aired because sir you made this anime 10x better for me.

[@Echidnut]

Aw thanks homie

[@troljynx9953]

Now wait a second, if a girl dress specifically up to the preference of a man, even to the underwear level, even though the man didn't ask for it... *Does Echidna simp for Subaru ?!*

No

[@stivendiazflorez]

Kinda.

[@The4Quiabos]

Valeu ae quem traduziu

[@inviciously]

Great videos, my man. You're just as much a Re: zero fanatic as I am and I love it. Keep up the good work!

[@1Maklak]

Holding someone's hand when you're traumatized isn't weird at all, so only after watching this video I understood why Emilia freaked out so much about it. When I saw it forst, it almost sounded like she was afraid, Subaru would take it as a hint and make moves on her right there and then. I don't like Rosewall's trials by fire one bit, but they do make sense after reading a spoiler someone posted. He has a way of setting up subtle chains of events that work to his advantage. He probably injured himself on purpose (or faked it) to make himself useless again and did trap Emilia inside the barrier on purpose. "Emilia's past holds an event so traumatic that she repressed it" seems like a good way to put it. From now on, she lives in her own personal hell, having to face something she is unable to face, probably that she froze the forest herself (Frozen Bonds hints on it). I like the concept of a Witch who values knowledge and can answer most questions, but not her playful personality.

[@jefrimw3]

May i ask? I had something missing here, i need correction. So in this episode want emilia trapped in barrier and make her to fight with her own trauma right? Then for subaru and other villager is only can escaped from barrier right?

[@1Maklak]

@@jefrimw3 Emilia forgot her own past to remain sane and Puck had something to do with it. The trial is showing her exactly the past she abandoned, so her shock and suffering is unbearable. Subaru can leave the barrier at any time, but the villagers are imprisoned by Garfield to force Emilia to go through the trial and dispel the barrier.

I don't know if you read all the comments anymore - because there's so many and it's literally impossible... But thank you so much for all your Re:Zero videos. It makes me happy and I can tell you put a lot of effort into everything. Thank you so much.
