The Newest of Heroes and the Most Ancient of Heroes

Everything about this episode, from the speech, to the side-plots, to the buildup for the end of the first half of the season is immaculate.

I will hereby use this episode as a trump card to anyone who has the nerve to call Subaru a bad mc, since that's the argument I hear most against this anime.

The amount of character development this man has gone through and the way he's changed for the better is amazing, considering all the pain he's gone through. Much more than a lifetime's worth.

I'm so excited for next week's episode, and I thank everyone who participated in this wonderful project.

Thank you for reading.

No more words needed to describe this episode. The dialogues, the characters, the emotion, the build up. Most people who were reading the novel were afraid of the studio giving an innacurate adaptation, but this... This is peak fiction. This episode is one of the best anime episodes ive ever seen in my life, its just straight up that amazing. The speech itself was amazing, emotional and exciting at the same time, and also the reveal of Reinhard at the end of the episode was great. Im thankful for the studio "White Fox" for adapting the source material into a 30 minute episode, because if there was just a cliffhanger to the speech, it would leave less impact, atleast for me. Absolute Cinema.

Just like many people already said, this was one of the most important episodes that i waited years to see, and it did for sure deliver.

When i first read this in the Web Novel, the scenario that was created in my head was that of an Heroic speech. But the anime did a 180º of what i had imagined, showing the rather defenseless side of Subaru through Yusuke Kobayashi incredible voice acting.

I would be lying if i said i didn't feel a little bit disappointed that the direction didn't go in the way i thought it was gonna go when i read it years ago. But just because it didn't go the way i wanted it to go, it doesn't mean that it was bad. Despite showing me a completely different perspective of what i had imagined, i think the anime did a perfect job for what they were going for, an emotional speech.

10/10 without a doubt.

One of the best Episodes I watch. The goosebumps, the setting, the environment everything were on mark 😭. The speech was so good I almost shed a tear, as expected of ReZero it surpassed my expectations and yet again I'm surprised.

Subaru's speech was a very powerful highlight that reflected his emotional journey and his resolve to protect those he cares about. Subaru has faced immense challenges, but this speech really showcased how he's grown, not just in strength but in emotional resilience and understanding.

During this moment, he acknowledged his vulnerabilities and past mistakes, showing humility and a deep awareness of his limits. But what made the speech stand out is Subaru's ability to inspire those around him-his words weren't just about his own struggles but serve to uplift his friends, reminding them of the value of perseverance. It's a touching, honest moment where he communicated his determination towards the people in despair keep moving forward and held their head high up despite the odds.

This speech, filled with conviction, added an emotional weight to this episode, reminding us viewers why Subaru is such a great protagonist and a chosen one. It's a moment that fans of the series will likely remember, as it captures the core of Subaru's journey and his drive to face whatever comes next.

Absolute Cinema as they say!

One of the best episodes this season without a doubt, after previous episodes having us feel as though Subaru was defeated, this speech truly represents his character. You are incredible Natsuki Subaru. OUR GOAT!

The season is bound to get even better, but this speech has been long awaited and will forever stand out in our hearts. He truly is a unique character, written so well and his superb speech has further helped us understand him more. Inspires not only the characters within the show but us fans too. You truly feel as though he is fighting for you as well. I can not wait for next week 10/10!!!!
