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

[@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

@@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

[@statn1me]

in another video I made before for the characters relationship tree for re zero characters I do as u say where I place all the witches on the same line and so on..

The Witches all looks like decently functioning sociopath, but why are the bishops mostly crazy psychopaths?

[@keuf3904]

maybe things like not being compatible with their witches factors or maybe something similar to betelguese who was driven insane due to unfortunate circumstances or a combination of both

[@semon8510]

[@saljpal3]

Because the archbishops are part of a cult with an insane dogma while the witches simply did as they please.

[@Cerebral-Zero]

Who else do you expect to worship functional sociopaths?

[@straypaper]

@@Cerebral-Zero I guess no one? Doesn't look like the Witches are looking for worshippers or anything? Subaru doesn't worship Satella or Echidna. Heck, he was even repulsed by them.

This video is incredibly well made! Your artwork is beautiful and I loved seeing the process. Genuinely, your characters are so pretty, you got some amazing skills!

[@hoalongsabo6243]

I just realized, the witch cult must have their own clothing brand, they usually have matching clothes for the cultists, even custom made ones designed for petelgeuse, sirius, kurgan and theresia, they even have their own flag, that or maybe they got their own sewing club in the cult, “yeah timmy actually sews for his parents all the time at home, he can make some custom designs for the clothes and flags”

Imagine Petelgeuse design clothes💀

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.

[@semon8510]

should have mentioned that the author stated if all the sin archbishops and witches (excluding satella and pandora) were to fight regulus would come out on top

[@statn1me]

I mentioned something to that extent where I said that regulus is currently the strongest between all the archbishops

Well... there we some errors, like switching Ley and Roy. You could have shown Stride Vollachia in the spoiler section, since he's in a side story and will probably never be mentioned in the anime. Also, the thing with Hector and Roswaal is not confirmed, only strongly implied. You also could have shown in the spoiler section who has Melancholy witch factor, although that is also not confirmed, only speculized. The same goes for Pride, since it's also speculized that it's split. But over all, it's good.

[@Cerebral-Zero]

Is this a spoiler video or just all the details given so far through the anime?

[@statn1me]

@@Cerebral-Zero this is explained in the first 40 seconds of the anime. 95 percent of the video covers the anime and some info which are not major spoilers will be included in a spoiler section of the video near the end of the video. which I give a spoiler warning for.

the hand is rlly annoying and i want to look at a wider area of the picture rather than see the annoying AI drawing effect

[@johnythepvpgod1470]

also the AI narration switching constantly is annoying maybe keep one vocie or experiment with subtitles

[@johnythepvpgod1470]

lastly id rather see the whole picture drawn from the start and you just go over each of the relationship without the image being drawn.

[@statn1me]

@@johnythepvpgod1470 noted I will make the hand smaller in future videos. also in certain parts of the videos I make sure to zoom out to show a a completer view of the tree. u have to zoom in while drawing the characters to show what is going on and people won't see much by u zooming out all the time. the ai drawing effect is not an ai drawing effect. this was done in after effect and it was hell on earth. I have seen hell as Subaru once said

What about flugel? He seems to have a somewhat important connection to the witch cult seeing as he gave petelguese the sloth witch factor

[@tsuraji]

What about subaru getting the sloth element wouldnt that make him a representative of sloth after the passing of betelgeuse?
