[@christophervasques4510]

Roswall knows subaru can rewind time, the problem is that he isn't aware of the how. So he does't kill subaru because he believes subaru can rewind time by thinking alone or smt of the sort. edit: Roswall believes subaru will become invincible if he starts to think like roswall ( have no heart ), wich will help roswall with his plans. He isn't really wrong with this reasoning, but like whats the point of being invinvible if you don't have wishes or will of your own, its like being the strongest but not having anything to protect.

[@kamish2429]

Greed IF and Pride IF novels actually go that route, Subaru becomes like Roswall or kind of and basically becomes bat shit crazy like in Greed IF He makes reinhard swear loyalty to him and fix basically everything in the kingdom, he's still a good guy kinda but bat shit crazy, u can say it's an happy ending for everyone else except subaru who died millions possibly billions of times 💀

Otto left subaru, reinhard feels abandoned and always looks sad, emilia never passed the trial so she heavily relies on him, ram never became close to subaru again, subaru became an inhuman monster who don't Value his life and die for small insignificant details and also often have panic attacks. Only roswaal was satisfied in this route Also when echidna said "what does love fade" implies she'll break the contract at some point snaping roswaal

[@rolandooses6669]

For those who don't know, Satella didn't control Emilia, it was just that Emilia try the trials so many times without anyone to support her that she lose her mind and would do anything to avoid Subaru for leaving her side again😢

[@lucynatas8458]

Yea she went through the trial over and over again failing over and over again puck left her side and then subaru also went away there was no one else and she has come to depend on subaru soo much he comes everytime to save her support her but this time he was away she goes mad over the fact she's left alone and tries to be the lover subaru wants soo he wouldn't leave and act like a crazy gf that most of us have in our life😂

SPOILER ALERT: for got games :) Yes I know it. But I want to think it was Stella, I don't like to think it was Emilia Because of the kiss scene ( In future episode we know what Emilia thinks kissing does, So from Emilia's perspective in this episode she wants subaru's kids 😅 Not now Emilia maybe after we get an actual happy ending 😂) I am anime only so don't give me more trama(spoilers)

[@SmthPositive_]

One of my favorite episodes of season 2 just because last episode everything was going well and now this loop is straight out of “hell” no pun intended What Beatrice meant was to overwrite her contract and to make Betty Subaru’s priority The other targets are Frederica and Petra. No one knows about Rem since she’s been erased from everyone’s mind Probably another reason why Subaru could always find Betty in addition to his affinity to spirits they also use the same magic attribute attribute Spirits can’t die on their own that’s why she wanted subrau to kill her. They can get killed by others Betty used the blue crystal that Subaru has in his pocked still to do the teleport To clarify again last time Satella took over Emilia’s body because she couldn’t reach Subaru in echidnas tomb, this time Emilia did the trial over and over again and it completely broke her mind and turned her into a codependent psycho The reason why Roswaal is beating Subaru is he knows Subaru can restart but he doesn’t know it’s his death that’s triggers the Return By Death so he was trying to make Subaru reset by punching him

[@BHWu2]

A couple of clarifications. Roswaal doesn’t know that Subaru has to die to reset, and thankfully he doesn’t-imagine if he found that out. He’d probably try to kill Subaru over and over, so it’s a good thing Subaru still has that secret. Roswaal’s little monologue is him basically saying: I don’t care if it’s not “me” doing it, as long as eventually, in another timeline my goal is fulfilled. That’s absolutely insane. As for the snow, Roswaal made it snow (somehow) using magic. Since the Great Rabbit is attracted to large amounts of mana, magic strong enough to change the weather would obviously bring them there. Roswaal did this because he was following the “Gospel”, which basically told him “if you do this, then your goal will be realized”.

[@CC-ru4rr]

The first paragraph is exactly why he is forbidden to tell anyone

[@RenderingUser]

4:39 WOW. its finally nice to have a reactor notice that. not many mention that 13:01 Betty said that she cant die by herself. incapable of suicide 21:58 bro you literally have someone have their home town's weather change for the worse suddenly, and it happens only after a witch look-alike showed up and you wanted subaru to fetch her. meanwhile subru on a rant about his love for her. youd be pissed lmao. 28:15 well heres the thing, roswal probably knows subaru can restart. but roswaal probably doesnt know how subaru does it. thats why roswaal doesnt just kill him immediately. he probably thinks subaru should be kept alive in order to restart. thats why he made him feel pain instead

[@brotato966]

This season is complete madness. Just when you think it cant get any worse for Subaru, we see one more problem pop up every episode.

[@GOTGames]

It really is crazy. Putting out fires by starting more fires

[@willm772]

Emilia stayed there feeling alone and abandoned as both Puck and Subaru left her, in that state continously failing the trail drove her to an insane dependence on Subaru because from her point of view no matter how bad the situation is as long as Subaru is there everything always ends up fine, she never sees his failed loops. The Psychological term for this is axcious attachment.

[@Theunluckiest5437]

One thing I want to clarify is that it is now confirmed in the light novel that Roswaal does not know how Subaru's Return-by-death works. He only knows that Subaru can go back in time. He doesn't know that Death is the trigger to it. That's why he beats up Subaru instead of killing him. To force him to go back in time

[@justsomerandomasiandudewit3684]

A small cut content: After roswaal got eaten by those rabbits, they moved for subaru. Subaru desperate gets help from the clones of ryuzu where they suicide attacks them. The villagers burn themselves alive in the church coz they don't wanna get eaten by rabbits Ah yes beatrice noted that he was so frustrated to the point that he looked so disgusting because she wasn't taking his hand. It's also worth mentioning that emilia had a mental breakdown this time. She wasn't possessed. She got emotionally tortured in the trial. So when puck wasn't there she only saw light on subaru Also the fact that she kissed him in the end is even more darker when you'll know the reason behind it in last ep of s2. I swear you'll be shocked. Remember this Luke

Roswaal would have a disadvantage in a close ranged fight against garfiel because roswaal’s magic is more suited for long ranged fights while garfiel is BUILT for close ranged combat, plus him being injured could be a factor as well.

[@chaosmastermind]

Yeah, Ros is just a squishy mage at 1/4 health with no tank or healer getting plowed over by an elite boss.

[@MrFelblood]

Plus, anyone in a fight against Garf needs to seriously wound him before he gets his transformation going, or they're going to have an uphill battle. The speed, power and reach or his giant form is a lot to account for in a world where traumatic injuries cause shock, blood loss and limb damage, instead of just HP loss.

[@lucy5948]

Re zero cut content : After Subaru and Beako escaped in this scene 8:40, Subaru saw Petra like this... -Petra was atop the dining table, set alongside the tableware. The white tablecloth seeps with a red stain, the body of a collapsed Petra at its centre. Time has already passed, with the shade of shed blood shifting soon to dark rust, the scene intensifying in its morose air. Subaru: “Peh, trra...” Faltering, unsteady steps lead Subaru to the table. Petra lies face-up in the middle. Frozen firm on her loveable face is an expression of agony, tears and dread, her eyes wide open in despair of what she last saw. Blood leaks from the corners of her open mouth, the lethal blow of course being the slash of the deep knife wound splitting her belly. That maid outfit she had sweetly, fairylike with skirt billowing, shown to Subaru-from beneath its breast to its gut there rips a straight slice, the spilled blood and guts further lightening the body of the little girl.

[@calliastah4115]

Jesus, no wonder the anime off-screened her this time, LMAO. Though I do wish they wouldn't do this so much, since they also did it with the bunnies and people having set themselves on fire to avoid them.

Now it makes sense why Roswaal made Ram tell Subaru that Frederica's suspicious. He probably wanted to make sure Subaru would go to the mansion and learn of the attack

[@torchperish]

Happy Holidays Luke, hope you had a good one. Yup, Subaru's first kiss with Emilia was with a mentally broken version of her fawning over his half mangled body as he bled out in her lap... I feel so bad for Betty too...400 years of isolation is unfathomable, I can't blame her for being tired of it all. Let's hope things turn around soon

[@Nameless_949]

(29:51) "The day will come when you truly catch up to me" If you consider in the last and this episode, Subaru treats this loop as a throw away life. Nevertheless, he still wrote a letter to Emilia and is worried about others. But you can already tell that Subaru's thought process is changing. Are these the first steps in this direction? When does it reach the point where he no longer recognize the value of life? Or is it already the loss of humanity then? That's why this sentence sends shivers down my spine.

[@airiquelmeleroy]

Damn, the witch cult is going to kill emilia Damn, the white whale is in our way Damn, the witch cult has a bomb Damn, subaru can get possessed by the witch cult All right! We have solved the problem! Get an army for the whale, get a second dispachment to deal with the cult, and spirit knight julius to deal with the possession. Done! Subaru this season: ...

Damn, Elsa is back, and is gonna kill everyone on the mansion! Damn, Garfiel is a menace! Damn, Beatrice has a Gospel??? Damn, why is it snowing? Damn, why are there murder bunnies?

He just doesn't get a break... every time a mystery is solved, 3 more threats open up...

[@angeldavidpinango4914]

all your questions are resolved with a single sentence: it's Roswal's fault...! The fact that Emilia became a little crazy and dependent on Subaru is because Roswal isolated her from the people of the town and the sanctuary by making it snow to blame her, due to the fact that by using a spell that requires a large amount of Mana, she attracts to the great rabbit. By the way, I think it's obvious who hired Elsa, and miliet and gave them information about the mansion and Betty's spell... and who hired them when they attacked the first time Subaru met Emilia, when they stole his badge and who organized the attack of the Ma-beasts in the village forest. Anyway, Roswal deserves a real beating...

[@sairadice7681]

There's a mini-stories series called: "Re:Zero ~Starting Break Time From Zero~ 2" which adds some details and unknown coversation to the main story. In the 11th ep. it's showed a conversation between Elsa and Meili where Elsa explain there are 2 options to act, when someone is near to the death: fight or accept it. Subaru didn't show any change, as he knew there was something beyond death. Elsa judged him not worthy of the disembowelment and cut off his eye.

[@MoonS4444]

Every scene with the bunnies are just so terrifying, they're awesome 27:38 Now that i think about It, maybe Roswall doesn't know how Subaru does to restart? He doesn't know her has to die to restart so that's why he didn't kill him?

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

20:40 he knows subaru can return to the past he doesnt know the method to trigger it becuase that is also subarus taboo which is also why at 27:40 he starts beating up subaru he wants subaru to restart but he thinks killing subaru will stop subaru from doing that so hes trying to make subaru want to restart

[@GPMS]

6:07 Yes, she's saying that since Subaru has Emilia and Rem he cannot prioritize Beatrice 8:15 They don't know Rem even exists but it's implied she was killed in some loops

[@Debeseta]

A fun fact about Re:Zero's world is that there is no "English" dialect there. during this episode Roswaal says: "Considering the future you and i share, this may not be a very **SMART** way to do things." and continues to ask if he used the word right. he probably learnt that word from Subaru's instance in the mansion and now is using it to make fun of him, which is kinda funny lol.

Back in season one when emilia died in subarus arls when he told her about return by death, beatrice told him that she didnt want to see hom doe and teleported him outside the mansion, thats because thats all she wanted..... To die... But here she sees everyone around her dying and cant do so herself coz of the contract

[@TheRealMRCZ]

It always surprises me how many things about the plot you're able to guess half-correct 😅 As for Emilia, the reason she behaved like that was because she lost her sanity due to taking the trials too many times, which mentally broke her, and since Subaru's letter never reached her, she assumed he abandoned her, meaning she thought she lost the only person who was always there for her to support and comfort her.

[@matheussavelar]

About Betty: She doesn't want to be special to Subaru, she wants to be special to "that person", who is that person it doesn't matter. Her real wish is to break free from her contract, but she can't do it alone. So she decided after 400 years waiting that she would rather die than keep her contract. A spirit can kill itself, so even with that drastic decision she must wait for someone else to do it. If you remember every single time that Subaru could die in the mansion, Betty saved him after know him a little better. Betty saved Subaru when Ram thought Subaru knew about Rem's death by the dog bite because he was only relying on Betty to stay alive, she was special. Betty saved Subaru from the dog bite's curses. When Subaru killed Emilia telling about his return by death, Subaru begged Betty to kill him, and she teleported him away, because it was kinda cruel asking for death to someone who wants to die and it can't. Even in this season Betty wouldn't let Subaru die in front of her and be the next one to abandon her. Betty fears to be alone more than anything and that's why she "only" acknowledges Puck as a spirit who lives for so long and will continue living on.

[@MrTimeattacker]

Amazing reaction. few things as always lots of cut context/details from anime and few major cuts . To elaborate on the Emilia being mentally broken thing, there's a lot of things that were cut out especially for the first cour of the 2nd season because of time issues. Basically what happened after Subaru left was that someone took his letter away and Emilia tried to look for him, thinking that he had left her just like Puck. The snow happened and like Roswaal had explained, Garfiel along with the villagers condemned her because of her uncanny resemblance to the witch. As a result, she attempted the trial over and over and over again without any food or rest because she wants to break the barrier so that she can go out and find Subaru. She attempted it until her mind just snapped (you alr saw what it does to her each time she goes in). And to highlight just how broken she really was, even at the end when she kissed him as Subaru dies, she was just thinking of doing everything she can just so that Subaru wouldn't leave her, not wanting to be 'abandoned' again. Also, it was cut out in the episode but Subaru used the Ryuzu clones to blow up some of the rabbits, clearing the path but like you can see, he didn't manage to escape unscathed. And while on the way to Emilia, Subaru saw that the people had hid themselves in the church and they had decided to kill themselves by starting a fire and burned alive rather than to be food to the rabbits. The hubris is real subaru saying "i know hell". Roswaal is much much Stronger than garfiel.....its just that he's heavily injured and more importantly is in close quarters melee range where garf had advantage...Now healing magic exists we saw emilia/felix/rem use it but its THE only one spell roswaal can't use..powers in re zero are very tied to emotion it's said that you need to have certain level of compassion and kindness to use healing magic. Power scaling in general in re:zero doesn't a work a character S tier in power ranking can be defeated by B tier well prepared opponent in good circumstances like ELSA...although some times the gap is just too large like reinhard. Roswaal knowing how certain evens should playout from book + his observation of subaru he knows that subaru can loop but doesn't know he needs to die, so he beats/abuses subaru forcing him to restart and says "i Can't kill you but there other things i can do,am i wrong ?" yeah he's wrong lol he actually needs to die also the reason satella hasn't appeared.(satella part my own conclusion) Snow is artificial made from mana that's why rabbits are attracted...and this is not random you already saw it in memory snow. and that's why subaru comments on it. AS always i love re:zero for exploring the negative emotions/themes so much it really sets is apart because of it and makes the postive thematics and payoff more worth it.

25:00 so to explain this book better its basically instructions to lead the owner to their dearest wish (the witches cults gospel being a defective version is probably becuase they say people who get it get brainwashed or something from when subaru first saw it after killing sloth the first time) so its possible beatrice's went blank when she started wanting to die

[@rashidbushalat3048]

This is actually my favorite episode of re:zero because of the sheer confusion and how with every new answer we got 3 different questions, truly an amazing experience

[@Doctor_Yiggles]

Seeing Betty cry hits so hard poor girl I just want to comfort her because she has been thru so much especially being contracted and stuck there just waiting in the library for "that person". Seeing her fight was pretty awesome though! I have to agree with you Luke that Subaru has gone thru hell and probably the most traumatic experiences because he never forgets the different events he goes back to returning by death its an infinite amount of nightmares he goes thru. And if this series wasn't dark enough well the ending sure made sure to remind you, Luke.

[@Aaadapro]

Finally you caught ip to the craziest ep yet in re zero (s4 will be more crazy)

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

2:45 this is just my personal theory thing: the way the book works (again this is my understanding probably nott fully accurate) is that it tells you what actions to take to raech your lifes goal which if you don't have one (either dont want old one or havent found a new one) its just blank

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

23:33 rosawaal specializes in magic (ranged combat) garfiel is close combat when they are that close to each other in a room rosawaal cant fly to escape so avoiding garfiels hits is difficult

[@Aquilenne]

Remember back in Season 1 during the first mansion restart where Subaru intentionally did his best to completely retrace his steps, and ended up randomly running into Roswall in the bath where you commented on the sound effects as he gyrated back and forth? This is why he randomly deviated from the first time.

Merry Christmas, unfortunately your Christmas episode had snow but it was “the hell loop” widely recognized as the most messed up loop Subaru has had to experience up to this point. 6:10 yes it means that Emilia and Rem already hold the top spots, so Beatrice can’t be his “first” priority 8:10 as stated previously the “targets” are 2 maids and 1 shut in. In other words Petra, Fredericka, and Beatrice 13:00 Betty( and other spirits) can die, but spirits can’t commit Suicide 18:10 Nope, no possession here it is so much sadder. She went crazy after challenging the trial repeatedly for over a day straight, with no Subaru around and no one else who trusted or cared about her to lean on 22:40 Luke gets it, as in the greatness of Subaru’s character 25:45 We at least think we know what Roswall’s dearest wish is from Season 1. 27:40 Roswall knows Subaru can timeloop/redo but not how. Also Roswall by all appearances is working with “A with” but not the witch of Envy

[@Butane9000]

You might be forgetting it but in one of the episodes during Season 1 Roswaal states his goal and it's tied to the Dragon that provides for the country they reside in. The Dragon that made a pact with the royal family who died and Emilia is seeking to take over. Roswaal know's that time or history is repeating itself and it's tied to Subaru as the book is telling him what is happening but he doesn't know the why. It's like reading a book that explains in graphic detail how version of you are dying over and over that you have no memory of. Imagine having a conversation with someone knowing that you've had this conversation before but you can't remember it though they can. The ability to not only navigate that but to actually manipulate while being so on the back foot is a testament to Roswaal's intelligence and planning.

[@tortoiseknight8438]

Emilia's mind broke due to her isolation combined with going through her 1st trial over and over again. Roswaal knows Subaru can turn time back, but he doesn't know how, so he wouldn't risk killing Subaru. About his comment about the next Roswaal not being himself, take it less literally, but there is a whole debatw to be had about the logistics of time leaps and the people unaware of them. There were hints about why Elsa survives fatal magic strikes before, as far back as the first season actually.

Roswaal doesn't want that Subaru kills himself, he just doesn't know that death is the thing that activates Return by death. That's why he is beating him instead of killing him. He thinks that killing him would prevent the time rewinding.

26:50 someone removed letter, meaning there is 3rd party pulling the strings, it was never reveald who it was so i will not as well but a lot of unclear stuff would start to make sence if it was

[@AirdropRadarHQ]

what beatrice meant in this conversation is not that of romantic way, but more like a familial way because she lose a friend, and her mother figure Echidna.

[@NL-D96]

This whole episode is so unsettling

[@doublehit9165]

and there you are, roswald is the evil evil evil mastermind of everything since s1

[@haseothepkker]

The most important trait about Beatrice that is important to remember is that despite her age and existence as a great spirit she is and always will be a child at heart, because that's the static nature of her existence as a spirit emulating a human child. A nature she has no capacity to change. Why this is so important is because it explains just what she means by wanting to be put first. She's not looking for romantic love but instead the kind of secure familial love one would give a child. She basically wants to be cared for and made the first priority in much the same way an abandoned child wants to be because Beatrice has felt alone and abandoned for 400 years. She wants to be put first so that she will never be forgotten or left alone ever again. So intense is this desire to never be alone ever again and so traumatized is she by these 400 years of isolation that if she can't be given absolute certainty of someone putting her first, to effectively guarantee that she'll never face that horrible loneliness again, she would simply rather die.

Thanks for those words at the beginning, my Christmas this year is alone, but thanks for ur videos ❤️ merry Christmas to you as well

[@PgoOFC]

One thing I've been thinking over the years is how did Roswaal discovered about Subaru's Return by Death. I'm not sure if the novel covers it since I'm still reading Arc 3, but the only way of knowing is by observing Subaru's actions, in which Roswaal was always away from any major event, while the only achievements Subaru has under his name is the subjugation of the White Whale and the defeat of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth. I'm reading both novel and web novel at the same time, I bought volumes 1-10 and I'm still at volume 4, while trying to catch up to the web novel as I'm now in Arc 5 (next season). I'm sure you'll like the turn of events in the next episodes, merry christmas!

[@indigo9808]

When they first showed Echidna and I saw her butterfly theme, I remembered Betty's eyes immediately and guessed she was a spirit connected to Echidna 😂Was glad when I finally got to this episode and they confirmed a link. Been waiting for you to get to this episode, great luck it was on Christmas! Excited to see the rest of your reactions!

[@sorannmw3500]

in the sanctuary, it wasn't the witch, it was actually a mind broken emillia. she had tried the trial so many times thinking that subaru had left her because she wasn't good enough that she had gone crazy. she was certain subaru got tired of her, that he hated her and that she was too much of a burden, then the villager and garfield become suspitious of her because of the snow which isolated her even more and forced her to do the trial over and over and over

[@johnhakim7037]

Merry Christmas Luke! wish you and your family a blessed holiday all the way from Syria now 4 points to explain here : 1- betty is bound by a contract which she can't overwrite herself and she can't kill herself to end it, which is why she needs Subaru(or anyone) to kill her and and thus end the contract. 2- Roswaal knows Subaru can go back in time somehow but doesn't know how or the trigger for it (which is Subaru's death) which is why he was beating the shit out of him but stated he doesn't want him dead, he was trying to push him to trigger Return by Death by beating him into submission when he said ''even after all this beating you still won't restart'', ironically he avoided killing him which was the only way to restart. 3- we're not sure what happened to emilia in details, what is implied by Roswaal is that she was ''pushed to the limit'' getting isolated keeps failing the trial and she ended up broken and starts acting weird. 4- when Roswaal is saying ''you can restart but I can't I'll die here, but there will be another me'' or something along these lines... he was implying, subaru can restart, and will remember what happened here but Roswaal won't, so everything that was transpired here Roswaal won't be aware of it, so it's like it ''won't be me, this Roswaal here, it will be another me who isn't aware of all this'' cuz only Subaru is time leaping and only Subaru can remember other timelines even tho Roswaal knows that subaru has the ability to restart.

[@Theunluckiest5437]

Merry Christmas y'all. Tbh it doesn't even feel like Christmas today. Just feels like another day

[@chatoxchimix9124]

i think garfield was angry about Subaru who say that Emilia love him, because at that moment he already thinking that Subaru is a witch cultist and yes in a CLOSE RANGE combat garfield win, he can beat anybody in Emilia clan i thinks. But add more distance than in a ring and Roswall win 100%

[@Efrostling]

Merry charismas from New Zealand! its boxing day here but if its charismas somewhere else in the world, it still counts!

[@split0915]

Snow… red blood and green trees… I see nothing but Christmas

[@scipionc_drawing]

i was with my family and when i saw your notification to rezero reaction i just wanted to go home and watch it xDDDD

[@jasonlshadow1750]

I’m now halfway through the list. Started rewatching the show after getting to about this episode the first time around… due to my mental state back when it was airing, I had to stop watching. I can’t wait to catch up to everyone else now… why is this show so great when you watch it with an open mind?!

[@AetherPanda]

rezero knows how to just make you feel horrible while watching an amazing episode

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

13:10 its not that she cant die its that she doesnt age and cant travel to the realm of the dead without outsied help

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

15:30 not teh witch this is just what happens if emilia takes the trial to many times without emotional support (basically she goes insane)

[@e-classanime390]

What you are seeing this episode is a broken Emilia who is desperate for love. Every time Subaru has gone to the mansion this seaon Emilia has likely broken like we saw here.

[@samanaj3864]

roswaal is just crazy @_@ and merry Christmas man :D

[@unmemorablehero]

Season 1: Man that was brutal, can’t get much worse. Season 2: Hold my beer.

[@Are_Dean]

25 Dec = ROSWAALLL!!!

[@Lagr_6]

Man i fqn love Roswall, such a great character. And his Ost is 11/10

[@alial6658]

Take a time off to rest if you are sick. Happy holidays btw A few things about the episode. Garfiel is just angry man. Unpredictable too. Emilia is mentally unstable when left alone. She becomes what we call "yandere girlfriend" I love the ending of this episode. The creepy horrible state of Subaru bitten by the rabits but still standing alive

[@dirtymightmusic5239]

Some things to clear up again. It is in fact Emilia not Satella. Roswaal explained that he did a lot to isolate Emilia and make her alone. After Puck not being there the only thing that kept her sane was Subaru and he left. You see what one trial did to her mental state and she did it over and over and over again in those 2 days where no one was there for her. That just completely broke her and she went mental. As for Puck its not explained directly why Puck does not show himself. But remember back to very early in the season Puck was talking to Subaru next to Rem and Puck told Subaru to take care of Emilia before vanishing. Beatrice can die but she is incapable of suicide. And you are almost correct when it comes to her wish. "That person" is someone that finally frees her and basically kills her. She said she wants Subaru to make her number 1 which he cant because his nr1 is Emilia and since Subaru cannot give his all to Betty she wants him to atleast be "that person" to finally kill her. Also Roswaal knows that Subaru can start over somehow but he clearly doenst exactly know why. He specifically said he cannot kill Subaru because he wants him to start over. This directly implies that Roswaal only knows about a restart but not that its triggered by Subaru dying. Thats why he beat him up and threw him to the rabbits to make him restart basically. As for Roswaals wish it was said in season one that his wish/goal is to kill the dragon that reigns over luginica (the kingdom they are in). If that is his dearest wish or not we dont know this far into the story. You said it might have something to do with the Witch of Envy. I wont comment on that theory to not spoil anything or not but you need to remember one key detail that was mentioned already. They are in the Sanctuary which is another name for the Graveyard of the Witch of GREED Echidna. And he said that his family is in charge of guarding this grave for 400 years already. So while we dont know yet if/what connection roswaal has to Satella we very well know that he or lets say his family has a very strong connection to the witch of greed atleast

[@willm772]

Rosswald wants Subaru to abandon his emotions for everything but Emilia so he can manipulate him easier to obtain his one and only goal.

[@jorgitosilva]

Not immortal as in impervious to death... immortal as in doesn't get sick... doesn't age... and can't kill herself (contract to care for the library remember?)...

[@14megasxlr]

Betty is longing for someone to put her first and treat her like she's their Number 1 priority because she believes that's what it will take for her contract to be broken. This is tragic for a number of reasons, but the biggest one is yet to be seen.

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

14:40 yin (shadow) magic has teh ability to manipulate time and space if used at a high level (unfortunately theres only like 2 or 3 people who can use it at that high level beatrice being one of them) at a low level its just debuffs

[@kulkuljator]

Also, Roswaal did not actually know that Subaru returns by death. That's why he was just beating the crap out of him and not actually killing.

[@franciszekkapuscinski]

Nothing better than nightmare fuel for Christmas no😂? Roswaals goal is mystery for now, but basically Roswaal knows that Subaru can time loop, but he doesn't know full details. He doesn't know that Subaru has to die to do it. Beating crap out if him was to achieve his goal which will be revealed soon.

[@misovlk4937]

IMPORTANT info from this episode : Beako cannot kill herself, most propably because of the contract to wait for "that person" Beako by "your number 1" means love indeed, but more like familiar love, sister, daughter, etc, but that she HAS to be the first on hid mind , first to think of, take care of her, etc, but he already has 2 spots, 1-Emilia ,2-Rem who he both loves.. Meili who you though was sus in s1 was indeed the second assasin sent , and also the one controlling the doggos The targets for Meili and Elsa The letter Subaru left for emilia explaining the situation disappeared, not by Roswaal because he was confused about it (sadly wasnt explained in anime) Garfiel, just like other people(Meili,Ram,Reinhard(LOL), etc...) has a divine protection, his is Div. prot. of the earth, basically as long as he stands on any ground(thats why he is barefeet always), he basically gains permanent buff for Hp regen and Stamina regen and is also able to shape the ground in any way, he already used it to make shields around him etc, thats why if he transformed, Roswaal would lose in a longer fight because of the blessing, also we know transformed garfiel can take a beating... wiz Kafma in WN , like... that was a FIGHT like hell Roswaal didnt know about the great rabbit, the only thing he knew he should do is to make it snow to get closer to his goal Roswaal does know about Subarus abillity to rewind, restart, but doesnt know how, he though by beating subaru up hell force him to restart Emilia got crazy from loneliness, Puck -, Subaru -, Villagers -, everyone agaisnt her basically so she got crazzzzzzzzzy

[@onursenduran961]

Put me first. Beako asks that because if someone dedicates their whole life to the other, they can actually null their contract. However Subaru can't do that. He has other responsibilities and priorities.

[@UndeadSoul47]

Now THIS is a Christmas present!

[@TheWhiteBruceLee]

I appreciate the prerecord it’s just been me and the dog today

[@filipe_paixao]

Fun fact 2: You gonna need to remember this kiss for later...

[@doublehit9165]

his first was emilia so she meant litterally. and well, subaru was just shocked by the whole thing, of course he will.

[@billebrooks]

The reason why Subaru suspects Roswaal not Emilia for the snow is because Subaru knows Emilia well enough to know that she would not do that. She is kind, and not devious. Even in previous loops, Roswaal has said enough to make Subaru suspicious of him. On the other hand, Garfiel and the villagers do not understand Emilia that well and are fooled by Roswaal's trick.
