Theresia van Astrea

As a light novel reader I am fully satisfied with this adaptation it was pretty good and well animated.

Studio did what they could they put everything in this episode .

All novel readers should not hate this episode I knew backstory cuts were too bad for anime but we need to understand mot everything gets animated whatever we got is pretty good.

From start to finish the episode was too good and finally will gets his closure and episode ends all the confusion around the theresia things I am glad this episode is well recieved by anime onlies.

Theresia and will yonger verisons were pretty good.

The Astrea family up until this point in the story had remained somewhat vague in terms of their past. This episode utilizes great flashbacks (not many shows really compare to its usage) and emotion to develop Reinhard, Wilhelm, and Theresia into better characters. The animation was about what I expect for Re: Zero, but it doesn't really matter considering how strong the story remains. The premise of the Sword Saint is also well-established; the world of Re: Zero keeps expanding.

Ever since I first saw Reinhard I had hope that they would develop his character, especially due to the fact that he is the strongest in the entire series. I am excited to see how he continues to gain depth as I continue to see above average storytelling; something that has been lacking in a lot of shows in recent memory.

9.2/10.

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.

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.

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.
