Screenshots of my favourite moments of Re:Zero Arc 6:
(part 2)
(the emotional rollercoaster of a lifetime)
Subaru may have lost his memories, but he hasn’t forgotten the importance of committing to the bit.
“Everyone is physically attractive” - a thing that people who are only attracted to one gender definitely say.
Subaru: So what are we?
Julius: (How am I supposed to explain that I want to be friends, but he’s going through a one-sided “rivals-to-lovers” arc towards me?)
Julius: We’re… friends. Yeah.
Subaru: ? Why was there a pause there?
There’s not one left to remember left to remember Rem.
But worse then being entirely forgotten, there are people who know that no one remembers Rem.
This is messed up.
No you didn’t Subaru. You said exactly what you where supposed to.
I’m glad it’s canon that Subaru has watched magical girl shows (or at least familiar enough with them that he has the poses memorized)
So I know the Gluttony IF exists, and because of that, on a logical level I know that Subaru wasn’t going to go through with the plan to read everyone’s books of the dead….
But I was not comfortable with how close he got.
Yeah at this point, Subaru has lost his memories, has been possessed by [Natsuki Subaru], and is being haunted by the memories of Meili, leaving him in a very unstable state, mentally.
To top this off, Reid (who is supposed to be a trial) is roaming the tower, the tower is also being attacked by a horde of witchbeasts.
Also in a previous loop it looked like everyone killed each other? And then the whole tower was swallowed by a shadow?
And there hasn’t been an explanation for any of this yet.
So I’m with Subaru. What IS going on.
Like I mentioned before, logically I knew that Subaru wasn’t going to kill all of his friends….
But that didn’t stop me from breathing an audible sigh of relief after reading Subaru reach that decision himself.
he’s a good person he’s a good person he’s a good person Natsuki Subaru is a good person he still cares about them he still cares about them he still cares about them-
Rather than Screenshot the entire chapter, I just decided to screenshot the title.
Just…. This chapter. They trust him. They saved him.
Emilia trusts him. Emilia saved him.
And in return, he’s going to save all of them.
No Beatrice, Subaru’s actually completely right about all of this.
Fellas, is it gay for a man’s appearance to make you except things of of him?
(Not necessarily. But I guess if you want to read it that way, you could)
Rather than try and make my own, less funny joke, I will instead refer you to the words of tumblr user Liquidstar:
it’s so over….
we are so back.
HA GOTTEM
Subaru: I’m Nothing like [Natsuki Subaru]
Also Subaru: (does the exact thing Natsuki Subaru would do)
Call me crazy but I’m starting to think that Subaru Natsuki and Subaru Natsuki are the same person.
It’s so over….
oh it is so over.
So I love the whole exchange in the corridor of memories between the two Subaru’s.
So rather than screenshot the whole thing, I just made this meme:
We are so back
OH WE ARE SO BACK!
Huh.
I feel like this is going to have an effect on the whole…. Royal Selection thing.
Maybe it’ll be fine though.
Fellas, is it gay to um... to uh… literally blast your enemies with a rainbow?
(Not necess- Oh who am I kidding. We aren’t escaping the gay allegations with this one, fellas)
Huh?
I am now very curious about what exactly happened 400 years ago.
Nooooooo Shuala!
I wanted her to learn that her master wasn’t coming back and come to terms with that! I wanted her to be able to leave the tower And see the world! I wanted her to be allowed to make connections outside of her devotion to her master! I wanted her to have friends!
Shuala deserved better.
So that was Arc 6.
I feel like my heart was torn out, sent on a rollercoaster ride, was stabbed a bunch of times, Was put back together with tender love and care, and then was shoved back into my body. And then that process was repeated several times.
I guess I’m off to read the short stories, the EX novels, and the IF routes now. Or maybe just lie down and emotionally process everything some more.

Fourier never appeared in the main series, but man, he's actually really funny. Absolutely like Subaru in his behavior but less cringe that stems from realism and second-hand embarrassment. Just friends being friends
Since I got my hands on that EX novel, I'm gonna pitch some moments of him so he's at least remembered if his name is brought up. I'll include some pictures for reference, and won't include the whole thing to avoid spoilers
1. This one can be found on the wiki as is: he fell in love with Crusch at first sight, but the moment she saw him, she threatened him with a knife in his own house—she then proceeded to almost attempt suicide for her mistake
2. He's so much like Subaru. He's loud, brash, in love with a girl at first sight, has small worries that he blows out of proportion unless they're absolutely important and life-changing like impending death, falls to his knees in anime-style sulking when told he's not as manly/strong as he wants to be to the girl he likes...
3. After seeing Crusch, you see how there's a guy chasing him in the first picture? That's his tutor. Fourier proceeded to slap him in the face ("MY EYE!!" screamed in comical fashion), drag him down a hall, and make him hit his head on every column and wall in existence
4. In the second picture, where Crusch holds a dagger, Fourier backtracks over it a lot like Subaru would
Fourier: Who would give their daughter a dagger on their birthday? They've no sense.
Crusch: Your Highness, I asked for this dagger from my father as a gift that day.
Fourier: Yep! Your father's the most sensible man ever! Daggers, wonderful gifts to young girls, they are!
5. That illustration of him and Crusch in a sword fight? He did that so Crusch would wear a dress.
Crusch sees him about to fall over like a shaking fawn, pathetic with trembling legs and supporting himself on his sword. He's exhausted and wanting to pass out or cry, and Crusch is like "Should we stop?"
And Fourier is all "NO!" and charges in with war cries the entire time.
"YAAAAAHHHH! CRUUUSCH! WEAR A DRESSS!!!"
I crap not, that's all he shouted, and it kinda scared Crusch.
"Wear makeup! Like flowers! Wear jewelry! Show me that beautiful smileeee!!! Uwaaaaaa!!!"
That's his motivation. It's hilarious and also sad, because he knows he probably hurt Crusch a lot for not letting her wear dresses. He's so exhausted by the end of it that he literally passes out on the ground after Crusch cedes it's her defeat
6. He didn't know Ferris was a boy. So when he had Ferris pose as his fiancee after Crusch couldn't so he could turn down his marriage prospect,
He did so, thinking Ferris was a girl. He only found out afterwards.
Also, before they actually went through with the plan, Fourier was raring to pretend being Crusch's lover, and getting all flustered at the idea. Imagine servant Subaru being all blushy over going on a date with Emilia and wiggling around. Not very different
"M-Me... and Crusch..!!"
"Compose yourself, my prince!"
- Fourier and Ferris, off of memory
7. The castle rumored that Fourier was gay, because he declared he loved Ferris, no matter his gender.
"As long as you're you..!"
Which is really sweet (how Fourier loves him). Still, Ferris worried he hated him after the reveal.
Ferris and Crusch are discussing this new rumor as Ferris is afraid of confronting Fourier after he learned he was a male... then His Highness comes barreling in, basically screaming and crying
"Crusch! Ferris! It's horrible, oh so horrible! I need you two now through the worst struggle of my life! Where are my two trusted people?!"
Because he literally just heard the rumor himself.
I think he was afraid that Crusch wouldn't love him if she thought he was batting for the other team, and that's why he stressed over the rumor? He also feared Crusch not liking him if he got fat
He's so fricken funny and this is just from me skimming the book. I haven't sat down to read it through, but just by skimming, Fourier and Subaru behave so similarly that it's just- my gosh.
Do Ferris and Crusch look at Subaru and think of the prince? When Subaru shouted and disrupted the Royal Selection gathering, and Julius probably saw Joshua, did those two see Fourier?
Granted, Fourier is more wise and composed than Subaru, and probably would've been more graceful about his interruptions, but the shouting of what he wants and thinks when riled up? The "wisdom" (knowledge) that comes out of nowhere, which both Fourier and Subaru have? (Fourier from instinct, Subaru from Return By Death)
Fourier wanted so badly to let Crusch be a woman, and fawned over her beauty and just wanted her to enjoy typical things of women. Subaru kicks his blanket like it's personally assaulting him, just thinking of multiple Emilias as he tries to sleep, and isn't afraid of showing his affection throughout the entire series
On the point of affection, neither of them are afraid of showing it to people they care about. Subaru braids hair, plays with kids, compliments outfits and smiles, Fourier hugs and tells his dreams of futures with his friends and has dances with them, etc.
(They even have the penchant of acting like things are fine to Julius by not telling him anything before they literally collapse in front of him [Fourier in a carriage, Subaru being possessed], leaving Julius to deal with them when things go south)
(On that note, it's sweet that Julius always calls for Ferris when someone is hurting, because he knows who can help best)
Anyway, Fourier? Funny kid. Resembles Subaru. Parallels can probably be drawn from them. Is important to the development of Crusch and Ferris, so it's not bad to remember him. The history of the royal family should come into play when regarding the Archbishop of Lust and Felt, too.
