The Mastermind Behind Everything So Far | Re Zero Starting Life in Another World Season 2 Episode 13

Re Zero Start Life in Another World Season 2 Episode 13 marks the conclusion of the first Cour. We will return in Winter of Anime 2021. So we have Fall of Anime 2020 to tide us over till then. However before the series reached its conclusion this week... we got the man behind the curtain or in better terms... The Mastermind behind everything that's happened so far in the series. If Roswaal called Elsa to the mansion with Maylie, then did he hire Elsa to buy Emilia's insignia in Season 1? Did he bring down the barrier to allow Maylie inside the village in Season 1 too? If this is true... then Subaru has never done any action himself without Roswaal controlling every outcome. Ready for Re Zero Start Life in Another World Season 2 Episode 14 aka Episode 39 Review?

Also, was Roswaal behind Elsa in the first arc?

The fact that Roswaal figured out Subaru has an authority is amazing. LN fans i'm sure knew what was going on. Now.... where will his respawn point be since he can't re-enter the temple.

I suppose this now also explains all the "meetings" Roswell took/takes. Obviously those meetings were with the witches cult, the assassins, the weakened barrier. Everything is the result to Roswells "meetings". Always found it odd how for a man thats meant to keep a princess candidate safe, he seemed rather absent from such a duty.

[@bibby659]

(Time for him to trust some of his friends to be in two places at once FOR him, while suburu can't be in two places, he can trust someone to be in a place he would need to be.) (Also, echidna did add a price to the advice, it was technically the trial)

And now we wait. The Roswell reveal was insane and it basically explains how Elsa was able to get to the mansion so damn fast and feel one step ahead of everyone else.

Nobody and Aizen better than Aizen! He gets close though...

[@TheYunacat]

@Manannan anam Kinda like what you said, I'm pretty sure Subaru wasn't even a part of the plan in the first arc. I think Roswaal was trying to pressure Emilia into acting by taking her insignia away and putting her in a difficult situation because, if she overcame that, she would show her strength/potential. Subaru just happened to swoop in and do all the work for her, and the Tome was magically updated with new information later. My guess is he probably used the mabeast attack to test Subaru's powers and resolve and then ran with it in future arcs.

[@bluetime78]

Spoiler: roswaal planned every event for Subaru even the beginning ark and the insignia thing

[@exol511]

Rosewal set the stage for each encounter in such a way that regardless how Subaru overcame, it acomplished his goal. Mind you most likely he is following his book so that makes him not require to predict much.

Honestly i never get tired of your reviews in Re:Zero from S1 to S2.... Thank you for your insights and for making this show more interesting and intriguing

[@Eroil]

Roswaal's reveal is fascinating, aside from the way it's done and all it goes to explain how all these terrible, insurmountable challenges constantly happen to Subaru and put him in a position where he must use RBD to overcome them. A critique that could be made of the series (not one that I really have seen, but one that's reasonable) is that it's awfully convenient how Subaru somehow always ends up in these situations, before that my assumption was "oh this world is just incredibly dangerous, that is the setting" and also that this is just the premise and how the story is built, and there's no need to think too much about that. But this plot point flips that view completely and actually gives us a canon reason for why everything happened and is happening, the instant Subaru showed up in this world, people already had plans for him. It really is incredible how well thought out the story is, already expected Roswaal to be the one that ordered the mansion from all the foreshadowing we got but this is so much more than that, and makes this reveal 100 times better than just a plotwist

Echidna is not evil. She’s just oblivious to reality.

[@thesatelliteslickers907]

She's a high grade psychopath. She litteraly is unable to empathize with anyone. Edit: that isn't to say she's evil. But its a lot more than just being oblivious to reality, she doesn't care about how other people feel on an emotional level. Which is part of why most of her relationships are purely transactional She offers Subaru the opportunity to use and abuse her however he wants. With the caveat that she gets to do the same to him. And to her that's perfectly fair, because they both stand to gain and lose exactly as much as each other from a pure numbers standpoint. Not understanding and not really caring that that's not how ethics works for most people

[@Nero-dq4ep]

Excellent analysis as always. And that confession, like you stated, while hinted at for a while, still shocking to see. Subaru's expression says it all.

[@Jinzo05]

Bravo Chibi!! I've been waiting for a reviewer to point out these things. Now anime onlys, that's why we novel readers told you that season one is a prologue. This was also the over arching plot those critics were looking for.

Subaru should've just asked for some more tea from Echidna, would've still been able to take the trial.

[@katiepersons6575]

Roswaal knew Suburu had return from death before Suburu did.

[@neosonic199]

I loved seeing all the witches come together, the banter between them was good too. Satella's stark resemblance to Emilia will probably be addressed in the final Arc or something, but we can easily she does care a great deal for Subaru and wants him to keep persevering (even though fans are currently questioning this). That veil Satella's wearing represent Subaru's reluctance to accept her. Echidna's speech about forming a contract, spoke high volumes of the sin she embodies. To be honest, respect for Subaru for not completely buying into Echidna's self-serving scheme and also to Otto for punching and proclaiming that Subaru doesn't have to act alone when dealing with tough situations. I remembered reading a tidbit of Roswaal's true nature before reading the web novel and that he's giving Subaru the ultimate "can't make the best of both world's" situation".

[@evanshiu5735]

When roswaal knows he’s just superior: “yea boi, it’s been me this whole time.” Mans actually been the biggest of the biggest brains

[@KatsuImagitian]

So not that it wasn't obvious accounting all the options that it was Rosswal that was behind everything (there were hints and the fact he admitted once to being the one responsible for Witch Cultist event). But that reveal was still chilling with how technically neutral he was in his stance towards Subaru. He's basically doing what Echidna was doing but instead of indirect manipulation he's directly forcing Subaru to pretty much go numb in his path and force him to sacrifice any just to achieve his goal. What I find interesting is he doesn't see Subaru's resolve to take the path less followed probably because Rosswal himself is impatient to get his wish. Subaru's always repeating but to Rosswal he gets only that one shot so in a way he's desperate too in each repeat to see when Subaru is effectively ready to grant him his dearest wish.

The very first time Otto has appeared I was in awe with him. Just did not expect him to be so relevant further on, like at all, I was hoping to see Otto at least from time to time because I thought he was the most fun character to look at, I laughed every time he had a positive interaction with everyone in the first season. But god, did season 2 blessed me, just how great of a character he became here, helping Subaru, tried his best to oppose Garfiel and how he burned down the mansion with Petra, it was so freaking epic. Please, Tappei, don't hurt or kill him off in the future, please

@@asakayosapro I remember reading the ln/wn spoilers on that scene, and while they do seem to go into more detail, ultimately it still doesn't clarify how this NEET from Japan came to be on the WoE's radar in the first place.

[@mattmagliocca956]

Well, Roswall is honestly just following directions out of a book. So that suggests the real mastermind was either Echidna or someone we haven't met yet; whoever enchanted the book. He's less a schemer than just a blindly obedient fanatic. No idea what the hell Ram sees in him. The Stockholm is strong in her.

[@calimorales9880]

[@huzaifamuhammad5347]

Are you still there?

[@solentadesse7205]

Honestly what kind of got to me this episode was the talk with satella. I don't know why but their conversation with each other reminded me of hunter x hunter when gon confronted pitou. The reason for that is throughout season 1 and the first half of season 2 of re zero satella like what we've seen and the mention of it from other people is that she's not a good person I'd go as far as to call her a shitty person even if she is a witch. She's done so many things that are unforgivable. She sent subaru to a different world which in first episode of season 1 subaru thought it was so cool but if you actually think about and I'm pretty some if not most of you know this but he just up a vanished from his world leaving his parents behind not knowing what happened to him and that can be devastating for a parent, she gave him a gift/curse return by death (or what I call it the respawn) though I can agree that this ability has saved his life and the life of others it can also lead to subaru slowly losing his humanity like we've seen it happening throughout the series and not to mention she keeps crushing his heart everytime he even attempts to talk about his ability having him feel isolated closed off from others because he couldn't communicate with the people around him. This is the same person that killed Emilia because he talk to her about this and wouldn't let him go back to save rem (not completely sure cuz I don't know fully know about the checkpoint and when they're set), even recently killed the people that sanctuary in one of the loops. When you end up seeing her she doesn't come off as that evil vibe that you'd picture her in your mind and that why it reminds me of gon and pitou you've implanted into your mind that she's evil that there's no way that there can be an ounce of kindness in their well-being. So when you have satella telling subaru to love himself it conflicting because there's truth to her words but on the other hand she did lead him down this path in a way. Anyway that just what I think of their conversation.

[@cowsaymoo123]

I'm anime only so this is my theory: We know that witches don't get affected the return by death and still contain all the knowledge and experience that happens throughout the story. Emilia is half elf, half witch. Emilia is the elf side and Satella is her witch side. Slowly throughout the story, Satella is going to take over Emilia. I believe we are in a different time line where the little bits of Emilia that is left inside of Satella is trying to change the fate of what has happened leading up to her being the way she is now. She lived and seen through the story of Subaru trying to save her, but failed every time. We are watching a timeline where Subaru is going to get it right, whether he successfully saves her or decide to kill her at the end. Hence why Satella is telling Subaru that he needs to kill her because all the other times he didn't kill her nor save her. Also, I believe that Roswaal is contracted with Satella.

[@parkour_tnt1331]

That’s pretty unlikely, Satella killed Emilia once and it doesn’t make much sense that Emilia is Satella because If you watch the OVA about Emilia past you’ll know that she was born a 115 years ago and was frozen for 100 years but Satella was already alive 400 years ago and was sealed. Emilia definitely has some kind of connection with Satella but we still don’t have much of a clue to what it is. And where did Roswaal making a contact with Satella came from? Or do you mean Echidna.

Roswaal's surprise when Subaru revealed he had lost his qualification was quite interesting. It seems that this was not predicted by Roswaal's Tome of Wisdom. I wonder what would happen if Subaru manages to clear this loop anyway. Would the book just update itself and say "uh, I meant to say that all along."?

Not that surprising to me. I knew Subaru had that insecurity within him from the longest time. From the beginning. Some of you guys just didn't pick up the habits he was laying down before and after RbD.

[@herrscherofascendance52]

You know, watching your video... I just came to conclusion.... That the very fact Subaru didn't go totally mad and brutally attack & murder Roswal instead he instantly connected the dots of each event & came with a conclusion he cannot fight Roswal that way making him beg Roswal instead. In that very point...it only serve as a testament to Roswal himself that All of his plan to Subaru since the very beginning it became really apparent to Roswal he succeeded making Subaru became & grow to the person he want him to be.

[@poopplug8215]

This episode was crazy like ALL OF THEM now we wait 3 months.... see yall 😔🤙🏽

[@pauljs75]

Perhaps it's a hard core way to make Subaru ask others to help him and delegate certain tasks. It's a situation purposely setup so he can't solo it despite his unique ability. (Remember Roswaal didn't want him to fail despite how ridiculously bad the scenario is. Just his way of pushing things is peculiar.) Thus the part with Otto stepping in again at the end of the episode.
