Lupa : It made complete sense that this is happening and it's fucked up. That's the great thing about this anime. The author really build a incredibly heavy lore with several different magic systems and lots of different monster and villains that terrorized the world for centuries, all to just torture this ONE character. This anime is truly Subaru against the world.

[@llachrymuss]

I feel like no one talks ab this, but I’ve always loved the ending of episode 23. The way Julius’ character has come around for Subaru in that he feels horrible about killing him. That entire ending sequence with Subaru being taken over by Betelgeuse was so brilliantly acted and the interactions between the 3 characters in the scene (or 4 if you include betelgeuse) was just immaculate.

its not just because of the witches scent they explained it in the novel basically the requirements are that a person must possess the witch's love and also be compatible with spirits. If both requirements are met the spirit called Betelgeuse can potentially control their body
