Theresia van Astrea

Wow this episode was absolutely beautfiul from start to finish. They really hit the nail perfectly on the head with this one. From the shot selection, cinematography, overall music to tie in with the flashbacks and present day just made this episode whimsical. Re:zero has always been known for finding a massive beauty in traumatic emotional moments but executing them so well you actually get sucked into the world and feel what the characters on screen are feeling. This episode is what I call the epitome of storytelling and something every other series should strive to achieve. This is what television is about.

Wilhelm finally get to confess his love to theresia by word, although He always show his love via action but never said it face to face. I hope in future they adapt EX novels, Wilhelm side story theology in the novel is sooo good, ngl it's on pair with the main story.

The soundtrack was good and amazing as always.

And in the end of the episode he finally farewell to beloved wife.

Now the relationship between son,father and grandfather is ruined even more, probably forever(?). Can't wait for what is coming in the future.

Overall i liked this episode, it could have been made better but regardless it was really good.

A bomb of emotions - the simplest way to describe this episode. It's one of the most powerful episodes that allows you to truly understand the character, specifically the former Sword Saint, Tricia. We also caught a glimpse of this past during the battle with the White Whale in season one, but this time, we saw the story from the perspective of the Sword Saint, which was far more complex.

A similar situation to what happened with Reinhard also happened with Tricia. She experienced a flood of negative emotions when she felt that she had stolen her brother's right to become the Sword Saint. Despite being a peace-loving person, while her brother was dedicated to mastering swordsmanship, she inherited the title. Even after she became the Sword Saint, her husband ended up becoming the strongest swordsman in the kingdom.

In the end, however, she lived a happy life. The final moments, when she awakened and spoke with her true mind, were some of the best scenes in this episode. Ultimately, this episode shed light on the complex relationships within the Astrea family. I would rate this episode a 10/10, both within this season and overall.

What a bomb story that we have been given from the writer. Astrea family. This episode shows us what the mistakes that astrea family has done and Reinhard try to fix it by being a true Saint Sword. With Willheam and his kid still can't move on from the past and the backstory of our past Saint Sword. A true love still lives in that old man. The love that doesn't require anything. A simply promise that can't be done until now. Finally that old man can finally forgive his grandson and sleep with no regret of anything in that world. However the son of Astrea family still can't move on with her own mom death and keep blaming his own son for it.

All rezero fans need to not downvote this or other season 3 episodes just because of cut contents.. The anime onlies are loving this new season which tells us that it does it's job of encouraging people to care about rezero again .This whole toxicity of LN/WN readers will only hurt the series .Let's not make our fandom as bad as other.

My review of this episode will be a well directed masterpiece i really love the way it was directed without cutting any major plot points and character arc it conveys the harsh reality is astrea family and what means to be a sword saint. Probably one the best episode I have ever watched of rezero.
