Re:Zero Witch Cult Hierarchy/Relationships Tree

[@statn1me]

guide for the video: 1. if a person is higher up in the tree that does not mean that they have control over the lower placed members. 2. a not completely connected line means that the upper member does not have any thing to do with the lower member. it just means that inheritance occured. 3. a connected line means that some sort of control is happening. like maylie with the witch beasts or capella and her children. 4. as u go from top to bottom in the tree we reach the current anime events. so u can think of this as the passage of time. for example the archbishops drawn down means that they still live to this day. or roswal A Mathers being drawn up means that he lives 400 years ago

[@AntonioVivoran]

You should pin this at the top so those who are not familiar with the LN, WB or the series all thoghether dont missinterpret the video.

[@xyouthe]

ehhh, the witches and warlocks of 400 years ago have no heirarchy. satella wasnt "above" the other witches, they all existed within their own time and did as they pleased in their lives. besides, the witches bare no connection to one another besides sharing the posession of a witch factor. so i would put all 9 witches and warlocks on the same tree level, and not connect their nodes to one another. this tree overall though ends up weird, since on one hand you show heirarchy for witches (which doesnt exist) yet when we get to the sin archbishops theres no apparent heirarchy shown, when there actually is. the witch cult sin archbishops (despite all being the same rank) have implicit heirarchy over one another, though i couldnt get more into the details of it without spoiling arc 5 content

[@statn1me]

@@xyouthe when I was making the video I figured that some people will have a problem with this choice. the witch of envy being the top of the tree does not mean that she controls the other lower witches as illustrated in the video. satella had to be there because UpTo this point in the anime the goal of the cult is to resurrect her and this becomes convoluted with each sin archbishop that gets introduced. because of time constraints I also did not give a guide for the lines in the video which I will in a pinned comment to clear some misunderstandings

Subaru's authority has yet to be confirmed by the story as envy. It is a strong possibility and has been heavily implied but it is still not confirmed.

[@lildipper3423]

Nah its definitely envy bc the witch of envy gave him the authority and it makes sense since satella/emilia can time travel and is the most powerful person in rezero return by death is essentially going back in time erasing the future like drawing a line and erasing it it’s basically time travel to the past by death

[@statn1me]

Well, it's not confirmed, as no one has stated it outright. However, it would be a major plot twist if it weren't true. The whole idea of the Witch of Envy preventing him from disclosing the truth about the Authority, only for her to have nothing to do with it in the end, wouldn't make sense. That said, it's true that, up to this point, no one has mentioned anything about it because no one knows how it works and if it exists because of how the world would reset.

[@gamertechlive1780]

The Sin Arch Bishop of Pride is missing because it was Subaru in another timeline/route where he was ask for help in the alley (when he shout help and Reinhard arrive). He changed because he becomes desperate to beat Elsa to save Emelia due to many repeat by his authority "return by death" he was annoyed with the 3 thugs as a result he killed all of them since he already memories their movements and all information including abilities, strength and weaknesses he can exploit. As a result he never required Reinhard help, even then Reinhard arrived in the loot house while Subaru is observing and he somewhat survive, its the opposite here Reinhard become a target of envy and hatred for Subaru since Elsa is like an arch enemy for him so he looked for Elsa who he found nearly dead and ask her to work with him. Later the witch cult under Petelgeuss command found Subaru and they take him as a guest since he have the same aura of an Arch Bishop. He become friend with Petelgeuss but since he want to kill Emelia to use her as a vessel to summon for the witch of envy he killed him with a total of 400 loops. He then take command of the other witch cult member and plan to wipe out all witch cult Arch Bishops which he did he killed them all. Greed the strongest Arch Bishop becomes powerless against Subaru after in the final loop, Subaru lured all the wifes in a spot and burned the entire mansion as a result Regulus can no longer revive (he never knew he can't) Elsa sneak attack and cut all his limbs kicking him in the window going outside of the burning mansion he landed right in the front of Subaru. Subaru ordered Elsa to throw the Regulus in the fire (he is still alive) and they watch and laugh while he burns. He become the ultimate villain feared by the world, also killed 99% of his allies in the current timeline excluding people from Emelia's camp (yep their that 1%) and Reinhard who is broken but he made Reinhard the strongest most worthless hero by burning the entire empire into a fire not just one territory but the entire empire itself and Reinhard can't save the people. The people no longer believe in him and just like what he planned he revealed himself as Natsuki Subaru the Sin Arch Bishop of Pride in front of Emelia for him to die and make Emelia the ultimate hero who saved the world. As a result Emelia won the royal election , she become the hero, people respected her and Subaru is satisfied dying which resulted and in witch of envy granting him eternal death (to prevent to loop again since it will make useless and he will never be sastisfied plus his current save point is the burning empire itself with 10,000 loops trying to kill Reinhard to no avail so he kill his hero title and Reinhard become the most worthless hero in the history LOL).

@@yuutousakaki With Return by Death, you gain the knowledge of knowing what’s to come. I’d say that’s a powerful ability that could help you overcome every obstacle in most other anime. However, in Re:Zero, the obstacles are on another level-they’re people who can rewrite reality, are immune to attacks, or can steal memories. The main drawback of Return by Death is that triggering it requires Subaru to die, which takes a huge mental toll on him. Even so, I’d argue that Subaru is the strongest isekai protagonist.

[@yuutousakaki]

@@statn1me you got a point. However i don't like way subaru utilize his power. Because it hurt his friend and his fellow comrade.

They have to suffer mental shock with Subaru death( in some timeline he suicide make they get more trauma) .😒

@@yuutousakaki It is not yet confirmed whether Return by Death creates a new timeline or reverses the world to a point where Subaru is still alive. However, in the Sanctuary’s second trial, it was alluded to that Return by Death may create a new timeline. But since the second trial was meant to show what could have been the present, we cannot say for sure that Return by Death creates a new timeline. Additionally, Subaru nowadays only uses Return by Death when it is absolutely necessary. In Season 3, over the course of eight episodes, there were only two deaths, which suggests that he has gotten the hang of it.

I plan to create a more complete version in the future. I couldn't decide whether to include Stride or not because I haven't determined if he exists in the main timeline. As for Hector being inside Roswaal, it’s so strongly implied that I had to include it. Roswaal’s manner of speaking changed after meeting the Warlock, his style of dress transformed, and we never saw the outcome of their fight. Additionally, when Roswaal’s Book of Wisdom was being burned, he felt his eyes-the ones resembling the Warlock's-tremble, as if they might fall off. In Emilia’s third trial, where she faces the future, we also hear Roswaal’s voice saying, “All this time, I have not been alone.”
