Oboreru - Re:Zero Wrath IF Story

[@Echidnut]

A little detail I didn't explain in the video: Pandemonium was able to disturb the connection between divine protections and their users, so the building itself weakened Reinhard significantly, basically "nerfing" him.

[@theresiavanastrea3132]

So when the building was collapsing did he get his full power back?

[@Echidnut]

@@theresiavanastrea3132 It didn't collapse completely so I don't think so, but if he had just fought Cecilus outside the building it probably would've been a lot easier to defeat him

Indeed I think a normal person would have just fled the mansion never to return again, but the wrath path is also plausible Actually wanting to save them even still...It requires a saint or someone who doesn't value his own life.He is a bit of both(flaws notwithstanding) That said there was one thing that tipped him towards forgiving them in cannon: in that loop, or the second one I don't remember well, Rem and Ram did held his hands as he was having nightmares about dying in his sleep(since that s how he died the first time).It did calm his nightmare.The fact that they did so even for a stranger that was kinda sus is what made him see they could be good in better circumstances But yeah...they should stop going to murder as the first solution

[@greedysourceofgod4819]

@@namoma4922 I mean subaru it just crazy to forgive and love rem .

Honestly , almost everyone had wronged Subaru in one way or another, and he still tried to understand and save them. Ram and Rem brutally murdered him multiple times. Puck murdered him before destroying the world. Roswaal comissioned everyone to be killed. Garfiel killed the civilians in the sanctuary and Otto in front of his eyes. Even Otto abandoned him that one time (he more than made up for it tho) Main route Subaru is a fucking saint

[@spilsile_109]

@dfsad Would you say that post arc 4 Subaru is still immature. We are talking about the mental state of a 17 year old boy here. It doesnt matter what intentions the maids, the bitc*, the clown or the brat had, all of that was more than enough to break someone's mind completely. I would not say Subaru is a saint, but he's a human, weak physically and emotionally, but one of a very strong will which was enforced by his allies(Rem S1, Otto and Witches S2). And his 'selifish and greedy desires to save everyone'. No, I dont think he fell for Emila so hard on one sight, it must have a reason that will be known in the later arcs.

[@spilsile_109]

To be honest, Otto's reasons were the only defendable ones, he didnt threw out Subaru because he was scared that he would die, he actually went insane due to his divine protection(the whale was screeching at him to release Subaru). Insanity is something that removes all faults(if Rem killed Subaru during her crazed demonic state, it would be also due to insanity, the same goes for the failed loop where Garfiel killed everyone, the same goes for Petelguese, they were simply insane) Aside from that all reasons for killing someone are invalid and demented. I do not mean to be disrespectful but if you have even a bit of understanding towards that cat or sincerely believe that he is not at fault then fuc* you and that cat lol.

Frederica & Halibel: Both survived and fled. Frederica was reunited with her family. Puck: Killed by reinhard. Reinhard: As mentioned earlier, kills puck and survives with heavy wounds(all of which incompacitates him for no longer than a short period of time after he leaves the pandemonium) Subaru: Lets Ram finally strangle him to death. Dies a permanent death and joins satella in the dark realm Emilia: She either 1) Survives and tries to kill Ram as revenge, or 2) Commits suicide, following after Subaru. Edit: even if she does survive(Emilia), she is completely useless as she dropped out as a candidate and has become a heavily dependent person. She is no longer able to make her own decisions and doesn't have a goal, being hopeless and impactless, as well as the fact that she no longer has puck.

@@nucleargamez5693 He essentially kept her alive in secret. In the beginning, the reason why she collapsed without being able to kill subaru was because she was mana deficient. Subaru eventually realizes this and starts collecting massive amounts of magic stones in order to sustain ram. When the seige began, it began with a merchant offering magic stones to subaru, and this was the disguise that reinhard infiltrated the pandemonoum with, hiding within the pile of magic stones. And a detail not mentioned in the video was that when Frederica enters his room to bring him his meal(this was when he was flipping the coin to decide if he wants to kill her family or not), she thinks to herself about why he always ordered food enough for 2 people. The reason was because he was keeping ram alive in a secret room that can be accessed by only him.

It's just funny that all of the stories problems would be solved by just dropping Reinhard into the situation. Why they don't have this guy on speed dial to deal with the witches cult is beyond me.

[@UndeadTurning]

He's not just a nuke, that man is the Nuke, the Navy, the Airforce, and the Army all in one, and even that's not enough. He could conquer the entire planet if he wanted to and kill all of the witches cult members solo. The only person he's tied with is Satella. The nobility in Re: are dumb.

He dies a final death in my opinion, to answer your question. Lol his wrath route was way more successful than his pride route but also has it worse than his pride counterpart as he could've killed Reinhart by having emilia, the shadow ninja, cecilus, and puck fight Reinhart at the same time and then there would be no one to stand in his way. But damn not being able to see color and having debilitating trust issues would suck so much. In the pride route he couldn't find a way to kill or even injure Reinhart and just decided to ruin his reputation, but at least he found a way to complete his goal of securing the throne for Emilia by having her kill him.

@@laughingcrows4661 Reinhart seemed really weak after fighting cecilus and Emilia was still alive after confronting Reinhart with Puck.

[@laughingcrows4661]

BTW I’m pretty sure Emilia just left Puck to deal with Reinhard. Which I’m like 99% sure that Reinhard still beat Puck considering in the Sloth if story the world didn’t end when Puck should have ended it. My guess being that Reinhard killed Puck to stop him. So Puck was basically only able to stall him. With all that in mind I doubt them coming all together would be enough to beat him. He’s just too OP to defeat him without removing his blessings, spirits, etc.

This might be the best IF story there is. It shows Subaru's potential to become dangerous if he were to abuse his Return by Death and that it would be unwise to make him an enemy. I doubt his death would be final since the witch loves him and would only take away RbD if he was satisfied with the outcome of his life. However, I doubt he was satisfied since the world had lost color and the woman he loved with it. The witch might either have sent him back to the point in time his world still had color or given him a merciless save point before the attack of Reinhardt's army, making him realize that this colorless world was all he had left now.

This Version Of Subaru Reminds Of The Batman Who Laughs.

[@patrickH206]

Here I will add a few details. The central theme in this route is drowning. The sentence "a drowning man will even clutch at straws" triggers this theme at different points. Subaru is drowning in distrust because he witness how easily people can change their minds. His world lost color, and except three people, the three straws: Ram, Emilia, and Beatrice. He believes they won't change their mind. Ram wanna kill him. Emilia won't forgive him. Beatrice will protect him based on their contract. Subaru knows that Beatrice is drowning as well, in loneliness, shares her pains, and wants to end it. So he becomes Beatrice's "that person" and gives her a long-overdue, happy ending. Emilia and Subaru meet once a week. Subaru never says a thing in the room, because he thinks that may make Emilia angry. On the other hand, Emilia already forgives him and somewhat look forward to their weekly meeting. At the last scene, Emilia chooses to side with Subaru. That reveals his scar. When Emilia says she will die with him, Subaru thinks Emilia will be like Rem, betraying him once he believed her. Ram's room is behind Subarus'. Everyday he will feed her and take care of her in person. Ram decides to keep acting like she wants to kill Subaru, despite by staying with Subaru for years she realized that Subaru was innocent. When she asked, "at last, you wanna die, Subaru?", she is ready to grant him what he gave Beatrice, the last straw. In fact, given Subaru's stone didn't kill Ram at the start, probably Ram already died and he killed himself there to try to save her. The reasons Subaru builds Pleiades are to find ways to keep Ram alive and to hide Ram and Emilia. In this route, he can't care less about things/people that are colorless, leading to the violent nature of Pleiades.

The witch has some sort of connection with Emilia since most of Subaru’s deaths and restarts revolve around her in some way so after he stopped believing Emilia I feel that he lost the witches favor and he actually died idk though these what if stories do give us insight into the whole return by death situation and maybe hint at what the witch actually wants idk so far I only have watched Echidnut’s videos on them but soon I will be reading them myself

[@topek8693]

Return by death is indeed controlled by the witch, but Emila doesn't exactly have much to do with it. Echidonut has made a video on this but in a certain IF story Subaru only meets Emilia twice or so, at the beginning and at the end. He's used returned by death many hundreds and thousands of times without meeting Emilia during that time. He also gets perma death there at the end if I recall things correctly. I'm not going to go in depth on this theory but it seems that return by death is so Subaru can get to the witch of envy alive so as long as there is a way of survival, he will be returning. That's if he has the will to continue though. It seems that if Subaru is pretty much completely satisfied with his death and does not even try to live anymore, the witch will give up on Subaru or something and return by death is no longer usable. But remember that's just a theory, or a summery of one at least.

Hmm 🤔 that is a good point maybe I was to hasty and just assumed based of the anime and what I have read so far in the light novels unfortunately I have not read the original web novel anyways hopefully one day we will get a concrete answer on what is going on

[@Echidnut]

Nah I got that part wrong. It was mostly because of the building itself weakening his DP's

[@Zwei22]

You know what's fucking insane is that the smallest choice/deviation can send Subaru down the path of becoming a god damn super villain. In all the routes, just a different choice leads him to turning into the most maniacal evil person in the series. It's really amazing how in nearly all the what if paths, he just goes full slaughter house mode. He clearly has high scheming potential, he just isn't using it enough in the main series.

And then there's sloth

[@kreysteller5470]

There was the gluttony route, which was way too much of a close call for subaru. Arc 6 SPOILER!!!!! He thought "What if i just kill my allies to achieve my goal?". And he was so close to doing it that i was scared

yup

I am so happy there is someone like you doing this because there are so many fans who want to hear this sorry but need some sort of visual

[@Rodiacreed]

I just wanna say that I appreciate the time you take to warn for spoilers and that you even specify what part of the story you spoil. I read the LN and the WN up to where Subaru finished his first meeting with Echidona but dropped it afterwards and now S2 has got me interested again.

Love your videos man, super interesting to see the other arcs instead of what is shown in season 1. Any idea on where to read the light novels?

You can buy them on Amazon, or read the web novel for free (link in desc)

My top IFs 1. Pride IF: especially when Subaru met Emilia one last time 2. Wrath IF: badass Subaru 3. Gluttony IF: Where the most scariest Subaru resides 4. Greed IF: Most useless Subaru -- Sloth IF: Rem route so an exception 5. Lust IF: Yes I would love them to make OVA of Theresia's chapter at arc 5 tho 😂

[@SwimSwayer]

Gluttony Subaru is the scariest? How? No spoilers

[@vexed2558]

@@SwimSwayer I don't know how to explain it without spoiler but basically, it's a route where Subaru doesn't remember anything. In other IF story, Subaru became twisted more or less for Emilia or himself or he got betray or something. But in Gluttony, hes no longer Subaru. He kills anyone with his own hands.

[@SwimSwayer]

@@vexed2558 thanks does this have spoilers for arc 4 and above or it's good for an anime only
