WRATH, A TERRIFYING CHARACTER! - Re:Zero | Episode 3x1 Reaction

45:44 The white-haired archbishop is Greed, Regulus Corneas, I understand why people sometimes confuse him as Pride because he seems very prideful, full of himself. Archbishop of Pride is actually vacant in the witch cultist organization as far as we know, Petelgeuse asked Subaru if he was Pride in season 1 because of the abundance of witch miasma on him and because he knew that the title of Pride was vacant. The easiest way to remember that Regulus is the archbishop of Greed is by remembering that Echidna, the witch of Greed also has white hair, so it's easier to make the association.

2:00 That's a thing I've realized with some shows (like Re Zero) it's that some shows get better the more you know about them and the more you understand about lore, worldbuilding, characters, etc. Especially considering the anime Re:Zero has a lot of cut content that adds to the lore, worldbuiding and characters and help to understand some things that the anime cut due to pacing issue, medium and not planning to have a second season for example.

54:24 Not in the anime, but in the manga (I haven't read it but I've seen this scene I will be talking about in it) and in the light novel, there is cut content of one scene of season 1 second part. It's cut content, and we never know if they will add it one day in a future scene so if you don't want to be "spoiled" stop reading. So... The scene in the carriage with Priscilla, Subaru and Al Al mentions that he came from our world too, transported 18 years ago. There is also other worldbuilding/Al's characterization information about that scene, but I won't mention it here because it's not the subject.

41:29 Yes Re:Zero op, I'm pretty sure she did a Re: Zero opening or ending, not sure which tho. Edit: It's the Re:Zero op 1 of season 2 called Realize. I loved this op.

The Sirius scene was absolutely terryfying the first time I watched it. I was mindblown by the sheer cruelty that she displayed tormenting that poor kid. If I was in Subaru's shoes after the return by Death, I would also feel sick to having laughed at this kid even if I knew I wasn't in my natural state. It's a little bit like doing something when you're drunk and feeling embarassed the next morning, but on another level because you surely remember it well.

The voice actress for the Archbishop of Wrath did a fantastic job. It was chilling from start to finish, the uncanny valley effect of the intonations and speech pattern with the actual things she was saying were fantastic. Also I think the moment she clapped her hands around the start of her appearance her ability activated, because Subaru even has a reaction to it like something changed suddenly, and everyone was under her influence from then on. And then after that she made everyone empathise and feel connected to the kid it seems? Because the people even started to say things like "our hearts are as one", and her ability may need to emotionally connect people to make them share feelings and senses (clearly including damage)? Now if all of that is purely her witch factor or there's more to it I have no clue, cause it could be some other skill or a combation of witch factor with something else OR maybe her witch factor can do that and even more. We still don't know the limits of a witch factor after all, since it seems to be connected to how much the host can manifest its power. Like Petelgeuse with the Sloth WF isn't the most dangerous of Archbishops at all, meanwhile Sekhmet (the Witch of Sloth) fought a fucking dragon with it.

3:36 Lol, don't let Subaru knows, he will get jealous. Imagine if you named your car Emilia and it was a Subaru😂
