Fun fact: The VA voicing Subaru in the final scene was so emotionally invested when acting that the crying and voice cracking at the end was real; as if he could feel every bit of pain Subaru was going through. Easily the best VA performance of that year and im pretty sure he won awards for it too.

Saying "it's okay" when he was eaten alive by rabbits is wild 😂

Lol I think she means "it's okay now, the rabbits are gone"

Nagatsuki-sensei's livetweets/trivia for this episode. Nagatsuki Tappei (Author of Re:Zero) likes to tweet as the episode airs. They usually include trivia and facts around that episode. Rough translation: Well then, a week has passed, and it's time for Re: Zero. Betrayed by Ryuzu-san and Garfiel, saved by Otto, and with a smug look from Ram, where is Subaru's tomorrow!! "helper" -> "overseer" When he was using branches to hide, it wasn't joking around, it was actually fairly effective. Ram noticed because she has sharp eyes. Otto was hiding his scent, after all, to avoid being found by Garfiel. OP! You're the OP, aren't you! How have ya been, OP! The OP that has finally gone on sale!! In Subaru spacetime, three days passed while he was confined, so the situation is that more or less the same number of days have passed as the first round. Emilia is attempting the 'trial' in order to help out with searching for Subaru after he's gone missing, and Garfiel is suppposed to be accompanying and observing at the grave; that situation. The things he has left to do are, to Subaru, things he has to confirm with Roswaal about what happened at the mansion. He was interrupted by Garfiel before he could do that, so he arrives here while the opportunity is open. As he saw for himself the black book, or 'Gospel', that Beatrice possesses, he's speaking with Roswaal, who should be the one who has known Beatrice the longest, to confirm the facts. "She would be our enemy" is what Subaru is determined to say, but there's the debt from arc two, and Subaru would hate to become hostile to someone close to him. 'Gospel' -> 'Book of Wisdom' "Roswaal said to ask the question." are words that he's heard before, but at the very least, he's never said them directly to Beatrice. What's even stronger than that is the "I am that person." comment. Roswaal is moving things forward without deception. "You're not our enemy, right?" "You are my allies." When he thinks that things might be pretty bad at the mansion, he'd like to take back more fighting strength. Subaru knows that it's about the time that the mansion will be attacked by Elsa, so he makes that judgement. Although, last time, circumstances led to Ram trying to abandon Rem, so Subaru is uncertain about whether or not to take Ram along. Meeting up with Garfiel. "The more it shines, the further away Magrittsa gets" is related to a historical event in the world of Re: Zero, that was also made into the drama "The Guillotine of Magrittsa", and it's a rare case of one of his sayings actually relating to something real. Ram and Otto standing together in front of Subaru shows the difference in their learning when the saying didn't get through to him. Further, the Hoshin in "Hoshin was Banan's sunset" is a famous person known as "Hoshin of the Wasteland", and is the great person that the Royal Selection candidate Anastsia took her family name from. The way that Ram and Otto are able to cooperate so well together is probably due to them both having, at their core, similar judgement. The conclusion that Otto would be helping Subaru is an event that was shared with everyone from Arlam village. To that end, the villagers show up to buy time, but they're no match for their opponent. Ordinarily, beastmen who beastchange don't grow this large, but Garfiel is a rather special case. To the extent that Subaru is quaking in fear of Garfiel, he's also probably imagining him being larger, I think. Otto who was torn in half, the villagers that were wounded, and even badly beaten Patrasche, are sacrificed to save Subaru. To Subaru, who should be able to return if he himself dies, there's no doubt that this is the situation he fears the most. The crystal hanging from his neck shines brightly, and Subaru is suddenly thrown somewhere. It's similar to the events of when he was flung near the entrance of the grave immediately after arriving in 'Sanctuary', but the timing is close to the worst possible. And, outside the building is snow. Basically in Re: Zero, aside from Memory Snow, good things don't really happen when it snows...... Wanting to disappear after losing everything, and even just wanting to die, is Subaru's true wish, but he's absolutely not able to die without knowing what happened. Previously, when something similar occurred, it was a result of Subaru trying to not to see what was in front of his eyes since he wanted to reject reality, but this time, there's really no one there. Aww, it's a little bunny on top of the snow! Cute! Rabbits appear one after another. Subaru was a little careless, but in this world, you should not approach creatures that have horns growing from their forehead. Subaru Natsuki's cause-of-death ranking, a majestic first place. "Eaten by Small Animals" achieved. Right after "Return by Death", the reason that Subaru is banging his head on the floor asking "Why?" is because he's fallen completely into a mental frenzy after being eaten alive. I think that's all there is to being eaten and dying. At least, "Eaten by Small Animals" is the method of death that the author fears the most. The condition for being invited to Echidna's tea party is strongly questioning "Why?", and after the first time, you have to ask it even more strongly for the second, but including the fact that he just suffered a hideous death, the necessary "Why?" line was crossed. Such a calm interaction with Echidna that you might think the events just before it were a dream. The fact that she's not asking about anything in detail, brings to Subaru's mind the possibility that she knows the most important thing. Previously, when he was caught in a dead end and tried to reveal everything, the heart of a girl important to Subaru was crushed before his eyes. Hence, Subaru never tried to do the same thing to anyone else. Incidentally, there are sometimes people who think that Subaru can instantly kill someone by revealing "Return by Death" to them, but when you think about whether it would defeat his opponent, or the penalty would instead be directed towards someone important to him, you can see that there's no way Subaru's feelings would allow him to do that. When he confesses once about "Return by Death", and that doesn't cause anything, it's like a dam bursts within Subaru. Here, where Subaru is talking about what he couldn't tell anyone, I think Kobayashi-san's performance is wonderful. "The 'Witch of Greed' who wishes to know everything in this world." "So, I want you to tell me about all your suffering." It's a unique ED, isn't it. When you think about the intensity of everything that happened, perhaps they leave an entirely different impression, but you could call this a way of ending things that's similar to season one's episode 15. If only that the finish has hope and despair, and the way of wrapping things up contrasts them. But really, they must have avoided a lot of regulations to be able to broadcast that, right......? That's right! There might be a few spots in this round's Re: Zero that are a bit gory, so people aren't good with that, please be careful!! Last time was Otto, this time is Echidna. Of course, in arc four, it's difficult for Subaru to break through it alone, so he'll have to shuffle his way forward one step at a time, while having his body and soul saved by those around him. Having said that, what this round brought to Subaru was very important. Walking the lonely road called "Return by Death" is the greatest point of Subaru Natsuki's suffering, but what a relief it is to him to have someone who knows about it. Subaru's feelings around that were overflowing with "I've been 'Returning by Death'......!". Wonderful. And with that, thanks for joining us this week, too! It was an intense way to die, but there won't be too many worse ways to die in Re: Zero! Please feel at ease! With that, see you next week! We'll start after he finishes bawling his eyes out in front of Echidna! That's strange, for the gore warning to pop up at that time...... Maybe Twitter isn't feeling well. Echinda has a really nice air about her, but that girl can't do even a single pushup. Incidentally, the original reason that I'm frightened of being eaten by small animals, is the old guy in Jurassic Park who moved away from his friends to pee, was chased up the river by something like little raptors, and afterwards only blood flowed back down the river! If not for that old guy, this round's scene wouldn't have happened! Now that I mention it, I'll just say this before I go to sleep, Otto has pushed Subaru away twice now, but the first time was towards the White Whale to save himself, and the second time was to save Subaru by putting himself in danger. This, too, is one of the best parts of changes in meetings and relationships by means of "Return by Death". Echidna, gets down on the ground to do a pushup -> can't get up. Can't get up so she rolls onto her back, and tries to do a sit-up to raise herself -> can't get up. Tries to crawl to something to grab on to it -> slow as a turtle. Clinging to a chair or something and trying to stand -> unsightly as a slug. Barely manages to sit on the chair -> smug.

Btw, the rabbit death is worse in the webnovel. In short, it's very well detailed. The rabbits entered Subaru through his mouth and rectum and then met in the middle of the body and ate his organs, and Subaru only died when the rabbits reached his brain. For those who want to "enjoy" the full version, here it is: [Subaru: Why is there a rabbit here…… it.. is a rabbit.. right?] With endless questions, Subaru looked over his surroundings, confused, trying to see if there were other animals besides this rabbit that had wandered back into the Sanctuary. And, with no particular intention, he reached out his hand towards the rabbit, hoping to confirm what it was, or perhaps just wanting to pet its fur―― [Subaru: ――――] The next moment, Subaru’s entire left hand was detached from his wrist upwards. Blood sprayed out from the ragged, sloppy wound, and green-blue veins dangled from the stump. Were the thin, white strings tendons or nerves? Either way, it’s always something grotesque when human body parts are destroyed―― and those, were his few seconds of escape from reality. Pain of an entirely other dimension trashed at Subaru’s brain, and, suffocating from the agony, his body collapsed to the ground. The branch that pierced his collarbone snapped in half upon impact, transforming into shattering pain. Pain, pain, pain. [Subaru: Ggha!? Aa,uaghaa! Aaauu, uuuuaaAAAA,AAAAAAAGHAAAAAAAAA!!] His thoughts turned white-hot. It hurts. Every cell of his body was dominated by this emotion of pain and there was already no way to register the reality of the agony as the thought occurred to him why it had to hurt so much and where it came from and why was it happening to him and why it hurt so much and it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts―― Suffocating from sheer agony, blood gushed from Subaru’s wrist as he drove it into the ground, and, for some reason, he bit into the earth, inexplicably gnawing at the puddle of mud. The bitter, asphyxiating soil brought back a moment of mental clarity, and his eyes dashed as if searching for the cause, when he saw the white furball at his feet―― the little animal’s white fur was speckled with dots of red, and its tiny mouth was busy working away. Under its black nose, its cheeks were puffed up, twitching. And, sticking out of its mouth, Subaru saw his left pinky finger. Understood. Gotcha. What happened here? He got eaten. He got eaten. He just got eaten. [Subaru: Gu, ghhfffuuaaaAAAAAA!!] Comprehension and pain drove him into a scream bordering insanity, Subaru turned to face the rabbit. His right arm was broken and immobile, and his left wrist was in the rabbit’s belly. There was nothing he could do, but if he could just confirm its true form―― He felt something burning into his thigh. With the unamusing shock of sharp, merciless blades scraping his flesh to the bone, he turned up the whites of his eyes as white foam gushed from the back of his throat. If only he could lay down his head and faint, but the intensity of the agony had no intention of releasing his consciousness. Bubbling blood spilled from the corner of his lips, and he writhed like a fish on land. The fact that his ears could still hear, must be both a miracle and a joke by a cruel God. Like the rustle of lapping waves, the sound captured Subaru’s eardrums. Little hops. Small, tiny bodies. The chain of overlapping chirps expanded to enormity, and even if his vision were still present, he had no desire to count them. And, in a moment, he was sincerely glad that the only thing left to him was his ears. Simultaneously feeling the bites of feeding teeth over all of his body, now, through the tactile and unmistakable pain, Subaru understood that he was being devoured by threats numbering in the hundreds. He shrieked. And a surge pushed him onto his back as his throat trembled. Immediately, furry creatures dived into his opened mouth. His tongue was torn to shreds, sharp teeth flashed across the depths of his throat, ravaging everything from his esophagus to his stomach. Inside, they collided with the others that had invaded from his rectum, and, as if descending into a competition, they devoured his organs left and right, turning Natsuki Subaru into minced feed. It was the unmistakable sensation of being alive while living creatures shredded him from within. Fear had already left him. There was barely any more pain. He couldn’t understand why he was still conscious. He was being eaten. He was being eaten. His left eye was gouged out. His ears were no longer there. His organs had already been consumed, and now the skin of his face was being peeled off. A hole opened in his skull, and teeth sank into his exposed, bulging brain――

If not for Echidna, it would have been a game over for Subaru mind after the Rabbit, worse than with Betelgueuse. The sheer pain driving you to bash your head on the ground, such incredible Va as well. One of my favorite moment in Season 2

This is still Subaru's most brutal death ever to lol. Just straight up trauma. Him being invited back to the tea party is proof that with every part of his soul he wanted to know why hes the only person to have gone through something like that and remember it.
