I believe this is the case. Gluttony gave Subaru power to control Louis as if she were a Mabeast since users of gluttony can control Mabeasts. She seems to need Subaru's permission to use any of her abilities. I'd guess that Gluttony is still split between Subaru and Roy.

[@azerhanbagci4965]

I think Subaru has the Gluttony because since the original true Louis "died" so should her copies. (When White Whale died its copies died along with it.) Considering how she placed her copy inside Subaru she might have done that same thing to her brothers too. And i think Subaru got the factor because when original dies, copies die too which means gluttony is dead and Roy is nothing but a simple child rn. I also think that the girl we saw after Louis "died" is a reincarnation of Louis (cuz thats the thing in Od Lagna, it filters the soul from memories and places it in a body without no name. Essentially, the body called "Louis Arneb" was the Green Room itself and its dead) which explains why the girl doesnt remember anything and probably everyone who knew her before wont remember her.(So there is a possibility that Roy may not be able to remember her if he sees her but ofc he may remember too cuz we still dont know the aftermath of authority on people. If my assumption is correct, Roy is the only one who survived the authority removal (even Betelgeuse's fingers got killed so we didnt get to see the aftermath of Sloth on those "crazy" people when he leaves the body and hops into another one) since to remove an authority they have to... you know... die lol) But ofc, that reincarnated girl's name is officially "Louis Arneb" because thats what she was called for the first time as a name by Subaru when Subaru was trying to warn Ram about her. I cant wait to see how Subaru will utilize the authority.

Everything for that, lets not forget subarus own cote in pride if: Im Natsuki Subaru sin archbishop of pride!!

[@st.argentstein]

Isn't the word 'vainglory' related to the word 'pride'? I think the case for Pandora being the Witch of Pride could be stronger. If a female were to be the embodiment of Pride, wouldn't that manifest as Vainglory? By merging the two mentioned Authorities, there now should be 8 accounted for Authorities. The thing that I think disqualifies Al from being Pride is that his Authority is too similar to Subaru's so I think there is an implication that their power sources are the same: Satella. The text usually implies that Subaru and Al have a connection in some way. Therefore, I believe that Satella gave a bootleg Return By Death to Al because he holds some importance to Subaru in the future and that Authority is a way to ensure that Al is alive and useful to Subaru. With Hector, I believe his dynamic is that he has a Pseudo Authority created from scratch given to him by Echidna. The purpose probably as a weapon of sorts against Satella. Hector's powers seem directed towards defense (ability for shields) which could be use for containment and crowd control. Echidna and Hector's relationship could be viewed as creator and creation mimicking the mad scientist role that Echidna plays as Doctor Frankenstein. Perhaps the creation of the Authority is painful or needs great sacrifice, hence it's name 'Melancholy' and therefore seeds the motivation for the attack on Sanctuary by Hector. I reason that Echidna was to trap Hector in Sanctuary as a storage/prison and then use Beatrice's shadow magic to deploy him at will through teleportation. Clind having similar powers could be an indication that the Authority is imperfect since most Authorities manifest differently for each wielder. Hector having this artificial Authority would bring the Authority number to 7 again, making Tapei's claim true.

[@kostas4005]

Vainglory indeed has similarities with Pride but it was actually united with Pride in one sin at some point. Melancholy also was a separate sin until it was united with Sloth. And then Envy was added. I thought that Pandora has witch factor of pride but according to this logic melancholy is sloth so Hector should have it. But we know that this factor in the box. Despite this sloth and melancholy have a similarities in abilites (telekines and gravitation control almost the same thing you can move something without touching it) Clind teleportation ability also seems very slothfull to me and I don't know how to connect Melancholy with teleportation. So there is a chance that Vainglory and Melancholy are just a variations of Sloth and Pride.

[@zandromex8985]

Well, I believe the main problem is that Typhon,a girl, was the witch of pride, and her sin was never transformed into vainglory. Furthermore, It is heavily implied that Typhon and Pandora coexisted and so Pandora could´ve never have gotten her hands onto the pride witch factor, since Typhon held it. Or if Pandora had taken it before, then Typhon could´ve never become the witch of pride.

[@MrJokerSenpai]

Ive always been of the opinion that Satella has basically semi possessed Subaru, and her witch factor is being channeled through Subaru, so Satella has envy, but Subaru is bennefitting from it. It just makes no sense to me how Satella could give Subaru pride when she isekai'd him when she shouldnt even have it to give. Would make sense why Subaru's scent seems to overpower all other witch factors scents, hes channeling the witch imo.

[@christopherdailey1303]

This is gonna be a long comment but eh. A part of me really wants to agree with what's said in the vid from a process of elimination standpoint, but another part of me wants to disagree on the idea that all of the authorities have a theme that corresponds to the witch factor. Just to name some examples, Subaru and Satella have the authority of envy and one has RBD while the other is immortal so the common "theme" is death (or I guess anti death in satellas case), for greed it's time as regulus has stillness of an objects time and echidnas is the book of wisdom (and before someone says it yes tappei confirmed that the book of wisdom is echidnas authority in a q&a I can't remember which one), and gluttony was directly said by pick at the end of arc 3 that it's a power of eating. The theme around pride isn't really known but it can be guessed, stride never shows it off but we do know from Typhon's book of the dead that the witch factor of pride allowed her to judge people so it's likely that's what the theme of it is. Al's authority doesn't fit that theme and not only that, but seems to fit more with envy as his authority allows him to go back in time whenever someone dies. Not only that, but despite authorities not normally being able to have 2 wielders at the same time, both Subaru and Satella have it. So I don't think it's that much of a stretch to say that Al has the authority of envy if Satella found a way to share her witch factor. Obviously there are loopholes to this as Subarus Cor Leonis and little king doesn't fit the theme of greed. One other thing that doesn't have to do with this that I thought was interesting that was brought up in the vid was the fact that there are 7 witch factors but 9 authorities with the extras being vanity and melancholy, vanity and melancholy are considered very similar to pride and sloth respectively. And the authority of melancholy on a surface level seems similar to sloth in the sense that they can attack people through some invisible force. And maybe vanity has something similar going on.

Here’s my theory, witch factors can be shared/synced up with another person, al And Subaru got a connection to satella and probably has pieces of her soul mixed with theirs. Think about what satella said to Subaru , she wants him to love himself and not be so hard on him. Envy is an emotion that stems from wanting traits or qualities others have. Maybe Subaru and Al are so compatible with the envy witch factor fragments ( im calling them) cuz they curse their weaknesses and desire to be strong like all their friends/Allies. However since they would need a million plus tries to do so, the abilities they got give them a “redo”. The authorities seems to correlate to that person’s desire/ideal compared to that sin, cappella sees lust as skin deep thus she can turn others or Herself into anyone, regulus claims to be satisfied yet felt entitled and deserving like a god, juice was very diligent ironically. So maybe Al can tell what power Subaru roughly has cuz of his knowledge of satella and her abilities.

[@professoroat1310]

didn’t the greed if light novel state if subaru smelled so bad he can cover up other people’s miasma scent? And since subaru has died like 20+ times before rem stated Louis doesn’t stink, I would think she still does have the authority of gluttony but subaru is covering up her smell

[@101ttty]

I think al has the pride witch factor cause he can do something similar to return by dead but in a small zone but not as powerful as the original witch factor that the witch has. I might be wrong cause i was saying this with very vague knowledge.

[@pranyasharma5557]

I don't think Betelgeuse split his factor among his fingers his soul is connected to the witch factor and all he just was change his body after all he was a spirit just echidona

[@thermophile1695]

I don't think his fingers had witch factors, I think they just had a really high affinity for either witch factors or spirits (we don't know which, since Subaru has both) and this allows Petelgeuse to possess them, since he's a spirit.

[@Jakez123]

Petelguese states that his witch factor returns to him when his fingers are killed which shows that he can split them by some method

[@thermophile1695]

@@Jakez123 Huh. Are we sure that isn't a mistranslation? With what Tappei said about factors not splitting and the fact that he was able to possess Subaru, that doesn't seem to match up.

Great video, but jaysis when are we getting the next influx of chapters?

[@Awardsnow]

Probably on june 40th

[@kostas4005]

Do you have any ideas how Subaru's hand healed itself in arc 7? It looks like Authority of Lust for me.

[@lucyadam9128]

No, that the cursed dragon blood

[@doublehit9165]

capella cursed dragon blood healed him. it regrow a limb only once. so if he loses his leg he cn regrow it, but cant heal other portions

[@kostas4005]

​@@lucyadam9128 So why it is not affecting Subaru like Crush? Crush have a reaction like she incompatible with a witch factor of Lust. And Subaru can absorb this blackness from Crush like he can absorb witch factors.

[@lucyadam9128]

@@kostas4005 it was explained in arc 7 . because of all the dog curse in arc 2 , Beatrice explained that now they killed the dogs the curse will never activate and kill Subaru but all the curses he got are still there they just never going to awaken In arc 7 when Subaru arm blown up, we get this dialog that Subaru now is some kinda of vessel of all this curses, the dog curse and the dragon curse both are fighting against each other they will never let the other curse have their prey but they also will not allow their host to die before they kill it

[@TheChristiansegura]

What if the authorities can be passed on by birth ??

[@doublehit9165]

they can, if the mother hold it and she dies. see echidna backstory. ps: it remained inactive until the age of 12, like with typhon.

[@TheChristiansegura]

@@doublehit9165 where can I get ahold of this so called back story? 🤙🤙

[@ozws]

Can subaru use the autority? I only know he sort of can control the unseen hand but guess he isn’t compatible, what about the other authorities? Is he going to be able to use them? Can he be compatible in the future?

[@azamabdilmajid850]

He can use the greed one

[@chelronin7843]

Wait hold on, theres nothing saying that you NEED a witch factor to have an authority. Perhaps hector and pandora just have an authority. Cuz you know who else has an authority? Fucking Clind. Idk if you seen recently but he has some sort of teleporting power. It was shown recently in a side story. Maybe the witch factors are a way of transferring CERTAIN authorities. And thats why tappei said theres 7 witch factors, because those are the only ones that can be “collected” by subaru. My guess is certain people are just born with or gain an authority thru some other means, but witch factors were created to easily give people authorities. For what reason, I have no clue. Maybe the witch factors were created after the witches died, to house their souls or something. And the authority it gives is just a byproduct

[@Jakez123]

Echidna says it in greed IF so yes you do. You’re mentioning clind and stuff, and I literally mention that side story in the video….

[@martinopanozzo5372]

I'll just write this comment for now, I'll watch this video later, for me Al has the pride WF but also the same factor that now Subaru has, he lost it somehow and the pride wf copied the the one he lost

[@powdmizu6379]

Do you stop posting re zero novel chapter or is it not being out yet jakez :(

[@10100rsn]

Tappei has paused releases. Could be another few days, weeks or months before he releases more. Tappei probably writes the web novel chapters in advance and holds on to them as the light novel gets updated, then releases web novel chapters about the same time as the next light novel is getting released keeping the web novel slightly ahead of the light novel.

[@akshatrai7475]

@@10100rsn he'll 100% resume in a few days or at MAX a month, because LN vol 31 is coming out in September and he has to write that part in the LN

[@MJH1703]

Al isn't a prideful person at least in my opinion so I don't see how he's compatible with the pride witch factor.

[@leek5682]

So maybe I missed it but did you acknowledge that the author says there are 7 witch factors but you named 9? Is he mistaken, or is he intentionally giving false information?

[@mahmoodmahmood2069]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@starmegalo1770]

Well... you disregarded author statement. Like everyone in lore dungeon. XD. So theory is unvaild. 2 people has authorities without having factors. No one can say Al is any different.

[@Jakez123]

Except the lore of re: zero states that witch factors allow you to use authorities, therefore there’s no such thing as as authority user without a witch factor.

[@starmegalo1770]

@@Jakez123 Witch factor does allow you use them. Though is it only them that allows you to get one? Thought provoking even more with new info about only 7 of them being exist.
