When Emelia gave herself the title of "The Frozen Witch" in The Frozen Bond, to scare the villagers away from her forest, so they wouldn't suffer for being connected to her. She calls Echidna a fellow witch, to say that she isn't going to be intimidated by scary titles, since she has used the tactic herself.

"Frozen Witch" is just a nickname by the people in the Frozen bonds movie.

[@deadline6149]

15:00 it was explained many times, Subaru absorbed Petelgeuse's witch factor after he died..and now he awakened Unseen Hand 33:50 yup, Subaru wrote that instead of staying with her, also Garf saw the writings when he went inside before Emilia and that's why Subaru is embarrassed 34:35 gotta love Emilia's "Subaru's impression" Emilia saying "witch's daughter" is just a figure of speech since ppl always called her that for her apparence.

[@CalebPorter1105]

Except Echidna said that not Emilia. Most people just straight up called her the Witch. I haven't read the WN/LN but "witch's daughter" is definitely still a possibility. If it isn't then why are you here hinting spoilers?

[@gustavgylefors2651]

@@CalebPorter1105 Spoilers for later in season 2! It's mentioned in Emilia's trial that Fortuna is the sister of Emilia's father which means that Emilia's father was an elf, since Satella is a half-elf if she would have a child with Emilia's supposed elf father she would not be a half-elf and instead 3/4 elf. It is also said in the anime that the events in the forest are about 100 years before the story or so, and it's said that Satella had her rampage 400 years ago which also means that the timeline is a bit too weird for Satella to be able to be Emilia's mother. With all this evidence I would say that it is highly unlikely for Satella to be Emilia's mother.

@@gustavgylefors2651 It could be a half elf if they are only half siblings so... Half elf + Half elf = Half elf

sometimes i think he should keep notes considering how many times it was reiterated that he has the sloth witch factor now

[@divineengine547]

@@blackcid The most likely witch to be Emilia's mother is Minerva. It is absolutely impossible for it to be Satella or Echidna, as Satella would make it so Emilia isn't a half elf and Echidna died a virgin. Minerva is the only witch other than Echidna that was a human too so unless there are other witches we don't know about she's pretty much the only option.

[@SmthPositive_]

What makes Re:Zero so great to me, even the background characters are so well written. They have fleshed out backstories you actually get to see & no worries the most fun is when you can’t predict what is going to happen. It just shows how good the writing is 3:03 Here you go predicting a line Subaru is gonna say later in the episode again 7:30 Famous last words 😭 Holy, you just kept going 9:50 Garfliel doesn’t care about the villagers, the people he wants to protect are the residents of the sanctuary that always been in there with him even tho that doesn’t make the case for his logic any better 10:50 Subarus gate broke in this moment btw, that’s why he said thank you to it. At the beginning of the season Felis warned him not to use for like 2 months & it’s been only a few days since they left Crusch’s residence. That means he can’t use any magic anymore 11:28 The crystal drained Garfs mana, also puck already existed before the contract with Emilia so him disappearing doesn’t mean he died. The crystal stores mana just like the one Emilia had, that’s why he’s able to inhabit it even tho it’s not as powerful 14:26 It’s still first opening of this season 🌚 And before you ask, Subaru used the sloth witch factor since his gate was broken he had to pull something from way deeper within him. That’s when he was able to feel and use invisible providence but as you can see he can only summon one single hand and it’s from a different place as well as the heavy backlash when using it is like a piece of his soul is dying. So even tho there’s been a power up, Subaru won’t just become op by some asspull like willpower or power of friendship In episode 3 when talking about the tea Echidna told him she used the sloth witch factor to enhance Subarus durability to be in her dream world with the help of her tea, as well as since the old host of the sloth witch factor died it choose Subaru as its new host. 16:40 Just a big rock you wouldn’t be able to lift without the help of others 21:25 Only the first trial to face his past. Ram and Garfiel actually know each other since they’re kids since Roswaal took Rem & Ram to the sanctuary sometimes. It’s explained in a side story 32:20 This scene is confusing to a lot of people because of the dialogue, but Garfiel saw the messages Subaru left for Emilia in the trial room that’s why Subarus is embarrassed. Idk why everyone’s minds goes to jacking off tho ☠️ Also Garfs age explains why he’s been acting the way he did all this time, he’s basically just an angry kid that doesn’t know how to deal with his emotions 34:45 Notice how Emilia hit the Subaru pose there, someone’s been coloring off on her Frozen witch is what the villagers called Emilia in the OVA, she just uses that name to actually empower herself on this instance. Btw Emilia can’t be the witch of envy’s daughter, unless her father is also a half elf which we don’t know yet if he is or not Leaving you with one last fun fact, the author revealed for Elsa to love you you’d have to be an intestine. Do with that information what you want

[@pitekxkitek]

Emilia did try to make a "Natsuki" greeting. She stroke a pose, said her name in fashionable way and instead of saying something nice she said something negative (just like Subaru when he introduced himseld as broke). Frozen Witch was the name the villagers called her in Movie remember? Villagers thought that all the snow in forest was made by her, that's why she is naming herself that way

[@RenderingUser]

So heres the gist of it, Subaru, after killing betelgues, obtained betelgeus' sloth witch factor. (unseen hands) echidna mentioned this in her first meeting Also, one more point of clarification for something a lot of people get confused about. when garfiel said he saw subaru's desperation, at the end of the episode, he was talking about the massive love letter for emilia he wrote in the whole chamber. garfiel saw it cause he entered first. and subaru wasnt expecting that. also, when emilia said fellow witch, she didnt mean she was satella. she was referring to how she was called the frozen witch of the elior forest. you saw that in the OVA

[@GOTGames]

Ah thank you for the clarification!

[@EnDy_S]

@@GOTGames To be fair, I don't think the translator figured out what Garfiel was referring to because they worded it in a really misleading way.

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

10:50 so you were confused here ill make it simple: remeber how subarus gate (magic organ) has been highly damaged this entire time? yea this scene is him breaking it beyond repair after this point he can no longer use magic or expel mana from his body without the mana eating curse that the dogs put on him the other time (only the one that pushes out mana broke so his body still absorbs it) the unseen hand he uses soon after is not fueled by magic

[@LxDization]

This is not explained at all in the anime. For context, why Garfiel understood and accepted why his mother had "abandoned" them, that she "couldn't even look at them" and still wished her happiness. As for Frederica birth, her mother was captured by a group of bandits and she became their leader's own possesion - so Frederica was born. Then another group of bandits destroyed the first group of bandits and Frederica's mother became the second bandit groups leader's possesion - so Garfil was born. That's in short.

echidna mentioned the sloth witch factor multiple times, now we finally see it in action, also what you saw there when subaru used ""shamac"" was his gate breaking. so he can no longer use magic ever again..... he overused it and now even a healer like felix cant do anything about it. emilia cant be a witch since she doesnt have a witch factor..... she's just using the term ""witch"" as a title since she's been called that her whole life so shes calling herself the frozen witch coz it sounds cool

Essentially since the end of Season 1 Subaru has been able to use the ability of Sloth: Unseen Hand however it took him this long for the factor to be integrated so he can use it properly. Also even though he can use it his is weaker as you can see.

[@tortoiseknight8438]

Subaru really got the whole squad jumping a 14 year old. Also, Emilia pulled a Subaru at the end there. Look how salty Echidna is rn... Subaru rejects her, invades and vandalizes her turf, scores another girl (which she hates) in her own house, and to top it off, said girl comes to challenge her trial.

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

12:00 the crystal on emilia isnt pucks soul its his house when he was contracted with her (since he broke the contract the house collapsed) so he just lives as scattered mana at the moment federicas necklace also happens to be a mana crystal like emilia's so hes using it to help them out a little even without the contract

[@angeldavidpinango4914]

just a couple of clarifications about this chapter: 1 at the moment in which Subaru uses the shamak a scene occurs like glass breaking, this is Subaru's door, which Felix told him that he should stop using because if he followed him acting as it would break forever and Subaru wouldn't be able to use magic again...! 2 at the moment in which Subaru hits Garfiel the power he uses is that of laziness, the same one that Petelguse used and that Subaru inherited when he died... 3 Garfiel's apology to Subaru is because when he entered the tomb first to carry out the trial he was the first to see the message that Subaru wrote for Emilia on the walls.😅

[@Debeseta]

**As you heard from other comments, Subaru broke his gate during his fight with Garfiel. i feel like the anime could never do the scene justice, so imma quote part of it from the webnovel, because its one of my favorite moments from the whole series:** "The taxation of his gate, which he had been warned not to use. The Capital's greatest healer had cautioned that he may never be able to use magic again. Betraying that advice, Subaru utilized the thing once more. He feels his imperceptible gate burn. The foundations of this gateway within his centre sways tremendously, and somewhere far and distant and separate from his body, something severs. This pain of something violently, messily, being wrest away. Alongside the lossful sense of what will never be recovered, it brings Subaru's heart understanding. Subaru: “Thank you.” A strand he had continuously relied upon is cut. He doesn't mind. An option that he supposedly lacked in the first place had merely been eliminated in earnest. Regardless, it was owing to that power that he managed to get this far, and for that he was grateful."

[@angeldavidpinango4914]

Garfiel's reasons may seem stupid but you must remember that hatred of people of mixed blood still exists outside the sanctuary. and it was so much that it even led to a war between humans and Demi humans... so he is partly right because following Luke's example, the tornado is still outside the shelter...😂

[@jamesperrott1]

Before subaru used the unseen hand, and the cracking happened and he said thank you, That was his mana gate fully breaking. Since it still had not healed after he overused it in season 1, and it broke for good here, if he didnt now have unseen hand that would be his last time using magic. He thanked his gate and/or shamac itself for how many times it was useful for him, and this was its final use. And the unseen hand was in subaru ever since he killed Betelguese, that is what the witch factor was, the sloth power is now Subarus, it just only like awakened in him and was used for the first time now, Subaru probably didnt even know he would be able to use it

Re:Zero is just amazing. How things change completely from one moment to the other, and yet those changes are so logical. What I like the most from this episode is how Subaru's words become the foundation of Garfiel's resolution to move on from his obsessive emotional rut. And the best thing is how each and every development propitiates the next like the best domino effect ever. You are in for some great episodes. Better be ready so you don't miss a thing.

[@christopherv2639]

12:20 Puck broke his contract with Emilia because his contract forced her to lose her past memories to allow her to regain those memories to complete the trial. This did not kill him but merely turned him into a free unbound Spirit much like Beatrice. As he was now a free Spirit he was capable of forming a new contract and decided to form a temporary contract with Subaru to help Emilia as he still cares for her. The reason it is temporary shall be explored a bit later.

[@kulkuljator]

It was only slightly hinted at the first cour but, Echidna *hate* Satella. She hate the witch of envy so much, she even hate Emilia also just for having the same appearance as Satella.

[@Flood55]

Patrasche is MVP (Most Valuable Parachute)! Also, Garfiel at the end is just referring to Subaru's love notes for Emilia. Since Garfiel did the trial first, he was the first to see them, so Subaru got all embarrassed :D The fight scene between Garfiel and Subaru was actually heavily condensed here from the novel (probably due to time constraints) although the major points are still there. The novel actually has them throwing hands for a good while, especially after Subaru uses the pendant with Puck inside. Speaking of which, the anime also cuts out a couple flashback conversations between Puck and Subaru where he gets the idea of using Puck as a trump card against Garfiel, which might have added to the confusion. Emilia's pose at the end in front of Echidna is also sort of an imitation of Subaru's iconic disco pose. There may be more to her words, but I think Emilia is mainly trying to show her resolve to Echidna this time, since prior attempts ended in utter failure as she couldn't access those memories. It is interesting that Echidna is immediately hostile to Emilia, given Echidna is normally nice or indifferent to visitors to her dream castle. We'll see their interaction develop further in the coming episodes. Thanks again Luke for another great reaction video.

[@DraKeNgg.]

So as cool as that was, some things to point out. Firstly, what you see that happens around when Subaru's authority of sloth activates is his gate breaking, which means as is he can never do magic on his own again.

[@Sylvastier]

Subaru really desecrated Echidona's grave with love letters, also just for bonus points if you've forgotten, he lost his ability to take the trials so just being in the tomb was extremely painful for him. And yet again he wrote everything in the native language of the worlds citizens, so it's also a showcase of how much he's improved in writing. That man is not to be underestimated when it comes to using his unstoppable willlpower to do some dumb things. Riding the nose of a whale while in the clouds, walkig through a mansion knowing an assassin is there, like this is singlehandely the most wholesome use of his willpower. Another thing to note is that ALOT of Garfields antagonistic/ anger prone behavior can literally be explained through his age. The mindset of letting noone leave the sanctuary due to his own trauma, the (occasionally murderous) tantrum he throws as Subaru goes behind his back in the timelines, the fact that his trauma born though his trial was because he chose his own perspective on what happened and refused to finish it and see it through. Like alot of that stuff was too much for a 13 year old to be handling, so his answer to most problems are just letting his anger get to him and getting more aggressive like a child would.

Well, technically the only thing that made this attack impactful was Puck, who absorbed all the mana from Garf's body, turning him into half-dead state. Its underlined fact in WN, without Puck's help Garfiel wouldn't even flinch after hundred of such punches.

9:34 The Sanctuary is comprised entirely of half demi-human races which are generally discrimited against in Re Zero society, it is only recently that normal humans have sought shelter. Garfiel's intention is to protect the people of Sanctuary from that discrimination by keeping them confined and away from those who would discriminate against them.

Emilia using "subaru's pose" is so cute when proclaiming she is Emilia

[@rowanmales3430]

The Hand comes from the Witch Factor he absorbed from the Sloth guy.

[@haseothepkker]

Gotta remember that Emilia being Satella's daughter doesn't genetically make sense because both are half-elfs. There's also several layers of meaning happening here. Emilia is taking the Witch title as a means of owning the discrimination she's been faced with up till know and fighting back with it. Echidna on the other hand isn't likely to be using it this way and is using it literally. So despite them both using the term "witch" Emilia and Echidna have different meanings attached to it. But yes the implication is that one of the witches is Emilia's mother. Who that is is big mystery. But re:zero loves to drop hints so the community has a pretty good idea who it is. Be sure to watch for those hints!

[@tripedal2063]

Although they're not genetically related, it DOES genetically make sense because two half elves will still make a half elf, so if Emilia's parents were both half elves it would have still made sense

[@kevinrafaelriverabueso1419]

The Anime Trope of "Misunderstanding your Parents' Actions" is always a lovable thing to watch. Whenever I see anime characters talk about how their dad/mom left them when they were kids because they were "bad parents" or they "didn't love them", I just remember that all of the previous anime series I've watched have taught me the following lesson: THE ANIME CHARACTER IS ALWAYS IN THE WRONG AND 99% OF TIMES THEIR SAID PARENT HAS AN ACTUAL NOBLE REASON TO LEAVE. Why? Because you must pay attention to the fact that they were little kids who never properly knew their mom or dad, that's the case with Garfiel here. Did his mom ever told him she wanted to abandon them? Nope, HE assumed that was the case. What if she was trying to find a way of getting help from the outside to free her children? But no, that idea never crossed Garfiel's mind. Cheers!!

Did Gon's dad ever had a good reason to leave? *big thonk*

[@kevinrafaelriverabueso1419]

@@SilverYPheonix Ging Freecs (Gon's dad) was neither misunderstood nor hated by his son, so it doesn't fall into the category of the Anime Trope I mentioned. He just wasn't going to raise his son given his ambitious career as a Hunter, so he made the best decision of leaving Gon with Mito to take care of him. There is no misunderstanding of decisions, and since episode 1 it is crystal clear that Ging was just not father-material. Therefore no contradiction with my statement.

​@@kevinrafaelriverabueso1419I don't think that's even Garfiel though? Like he always knew his parents loved him, it's literally the idea that she loved him and then died for nothing which he saw in the trial as a toddler which put him in denial since he couldn't handle the idea his dead mother loved him. And that trope plus your reading is really toxic because you end up biased towards doubting children hurt by their parents.

33:52 Omg no way you put it together, I’m impressed. Every other reactor couldn’t figure that out but somehow you always do.

[@lleonidasion]

35:38 The witch of envy is a halve-elf and emilia is also one so she can't be her daughter since, that would make her a quarter elf and consequently she could leave the sanctuary without taking the trial and she wouldn't be able to take the trial in the first place since only halve bloods can.

[@NikkiTheViolist]

i mean it could technically be possible if her father is ALSO half-elf (even though I think her mother is one of the other witches). Half elf mother + half elf father = half elf baby (but clues in later episode suggest her father is full-elf) but also you don't need to be exactly half-blood to take the trial, you just need to be mixed-blood as evidenced by Garfiel taking it

Your reactions to this show are phenomenal.

[@fronteiro]

37:55 I don't know spoilers about re:zero, here's just my opinion. I think Emilia is the witch of envy, but in the future. Emilia is the witch of envy before becoming a witch, I guess you could say that... And then something happened to the subaru, and she couldn't forgive herself and went back in time, and brought the subaru to her world, and it turned out the power to never die again, but this power came with "side effects". Well, that's my theory.

[@PgoOFC]

7:28 Garfiel's mom topic will return in season 3. I can't tell what exactly because of spoilers. 10:49 I think this was Subaru's od (gate) being severely damaged. 11:58 Puck only broke the contract between him and Emilia, he's still alive but out of reach. 33:10 Bro walked in and saw Subaru kissing Emilia. 30:40 Bless him. You're approaching Emilia's past and revelations awaits you.

[@siginotmylastname3969]

I think your non spoiler is a spoiler is too obvious, delete the first point.

[@jackoftrades1710]

When Subaru used shalmak it broke his gate that's what the crack was

[@nathankeel6667]

So on the frozen witch thing was originally revealed back during her speach (alot of witch was cut ) at the capital from the books its mostly a title then being a actual witch because of how she looks and living in that forest from the movie before roswald picked her up and on the point of her being a witches daughter well you might have a theory about that soon

[@magicfibre]

I'm pretty sure this is not a spoiler, since the explanation comes from a side story: A proper "witch" is just anyone with a witch factor. As far as we know, Emilia doesn't have one. Subaru on the other hand DOES have one, so he's technically a witch now.

[@TheAHuman]

As I said in an earlier episode, this second half of the season is making everyone a gigachad. And day 21 (3 weeks down) of requesting Luke reacts to the original songs from the new Phase Connect generation. Tonight, the group song, Into Euphoria, premieres, so listen to that too. I am back from listening to Into Euphoria. LISTEN TO IT. It’s very good

[@bikalpsatyal6699]

emilia is a witch in name only (for her its a nickname she doesnt get any powers with teh title) because in re:zero a witch is not a form of mage (though the characters in teh world dont understand that) there are qualifications to be a witch but its not known what specifically emilia calling herself a witch is referring to the fact she got a nickname from the ignorant people of being a witch (a sidestory mentions the info about mage and witch being different things and that qualifications to become a witch exist)

[@Mully57]

It's always great to watch these reactions again. Just a quick note: I believe that Emilia refers herself as the frozen witch since she woke up from the ice and she possess some interesting magic powers (if you remember emilia's backstory in frozen bonds). Now all I'll say is: The next few episodes are the ones I'm waiting for! Love your reactions and as always can't wait for more

[@ДенисБулдовский-и5ш]

About Garf and fight with him. In normal conditions Subaru's hand wouldn't even tickle him. Every Rezero character with inhuman stats like speed or strength get it mostly from mana circulating in their bodies, "answering" to their fighting will. The nuance here is if body is completely empty in terms of mana - person is already dead or (if he's really strong) - half dead and nearly powerless, losing literally everything needed in fight: strength, speed, durability etc. Subaru stabbed Garf with crystal with Puck inside, who instantly drained Garf to state of nearly regular 14 y.o child.

[@grumpysanta6318]

Third thing to point out... she did the Subaru pose!

[@UltimaOX]

Luke Classically forgetting there is 7 Witches again. So "Witches Daughter" can be a lot more broad options than you remember. And "Frozen Witch" is in relation to "Frozen Bond". The people back then called her a witch and she said she was the Frozen Witch in the OVA.

[@amx888]

He didn’t forget about the seven witches, he literally said that she could either be the daughter of the witch of envy or “one of their daughters”referring to the witches. 35:20

[@alfimelfissa]

Remember that Garfiel age is only around 13 or 14 in this arc. So, he isn't matured enough yet.

[@KFP_Prophet]

Garf was talking about seeing their conversation and kiss in the tomb. It's unclear at this point how literal Echidna is being when she calls Emilia "Witch's daughter", it might just be her being mean. Frozen witch / witch of glaciation are titles that Emilia was called during her time in Elior forest after thawing (i.e. during the ova), she's basically adopting them to dunk on Echidna.

[@pri_oji]

In some previous reactions, I was actually worried, but now I feel at ease. You are our Otto! After all, you understand, the way watching this! From the next chapters, it will be more advanced story based on 1&2season, so plz remember the lines and settings that you have forgotten…for example, what Betty said about Pack.(not spoiling example).

keep in mind that the anime cuts out some details that makes things a bit confusing. after subaru wakes up puck, they hatch a plan for puck to break emilia's contract so she remembers her memories, meanwhile puck moves to inhabit frederica's crystal which subaru has until they can get puck a gem good enough to have him manifest again. puck only broke the contract to force emilia to regain her memories of childhood. currently inside that crystal, puck cant even speak, only make glowing lights that resemble speech. a higher grade gem would be needed to have puck actually show up again oh also i should mention that in the web novel subaru and garfiel ACTUALLY have a fistfight that goes on all the way into the evening, until both are tired and subaru uses invisible providence and garfiel gets back up and parachute comes in and you know the rest. but yeah, they actually have a whole drawn out fistfight infront of the sanctuary

35:30 actually saying emilia is the daughter of the witch makes no sense with the information we have even in arc 7 of the novel becuase the witches of sin died 400 years ago and emilia is only 100 years old (aka theres a 300 year gap between the time they lived respectively) also emilia is only a witch in the sense that common people spread a rumor giving her the nickname she doesnt actually have witch powers (like teh authority of sloth gluttony or greed that you have already seen)

From what we seen in the story thus far you can have a title of a witch or sin archbishop, but do not have witch factor, or opposite, have witch factor but not a title. Example of the former would be Emilia and the later Subaru. Basically people can call you what they think you are, but outside of that there are witchfactors that make "true witches" if that makes sense

[@yfrufeyfryd2129]

I always thought Garf meant Subaru kissing Emilia by the desperate comment but yeah as others said him saying it about the writings makes more sense. Also one small thing to mention is that the villagers arent the only ones at the sanctuary there's other half-blood people too.
