Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the contract system in Re:Zero. I’ve only watched the anime, so I apologize if I’m mistaken. Beatrice has a contract with Subaru, and she manages his mana to prevent it from overflowing since the gate is broken. However, I feel that because Subaru’s overall
mana is low, Beatrice isn’t able to use her full power. In the last episode of season 2, she was able to use spells like Arshamach because she had been storing mana, but I’m particularly curious about season 3. Hypothetically, if Subaru were to contract with Emilia, who has a larger mana pool, wouldn’t that make him significantly stronger due to her being a powerful mage? Is it possible for Subaru to have contracts with both Beatrice and Emilia at the same time? I’m also interested in other characters with high mana reserves, not just Emilia.
Let’s Dive into the Contract System of Re:Zero!
So, I’ve been thinking a lot about the contract system in Re:Zero lately, especially after rewatching some key episodes. You know how much I love dissecting these kinds of details! The whole dynamic between Subaru, Beatrice, and Emilia is just so fascinating, right? It’s like a complicated love triangle, but with magic and mana instead of hearts.
Beatrice and Her Contract
First off, Beatrice’s contract with Subaru is a wild ride. I mean, here’s this adorable spirit with a serious attitude, managing Subaru’s mana to keep it from overflowing. When I first watched the anime, I was amazed at how they portrayed her as both powerful and vulnerable. And yes, she does have her conditions, like the whole “no cheating” clause—imagine trying to explain that to a spirit! I remember cracking up during those moments when she gets all flustered at Subaru’s antics. It’s like watching a sitcom unfold with the two of them. But here’s the kicker: because Subaru’s mana is on the lower side, Beatrice can’t unleash her full potential. That just made me think about how crucial mana really is in their world.
What If Subaru Contracts with Emilia?
Now, let’s talk about the hypothetical scenario of Subaru contracting with Emilia. I mean, she’s a powerhouse of magic! The idea that Subaru could draw on her large mana pool is super intriguing. They’d be like a magical power couple, right? Just picture them teaming up against the big bads of the world. I can’t help but get excited at the thought of that! But then, my mind goes back to the restrictions Beatrice has. If she’s got that “no cheating” rule, could Subaru even have a contract with Emilia? It’s like being caught in a sitcom plot twist! And you know how sometimes when you have too many snacks at a party, you end up feeling a bit sick? Having contracts with both of them would be like indulging in too many magical abilities at once—overwhelming but so tempting!
Other Characters with High Mana Reserves
And speaking of powerful mages, I’ve been curious about other characters with high mana reserves too. I mean, characters like Julius have their own unique strengths. It’s like each character adds a different flavor to the mix, making the story even richer. I’d love to see how Subaru could interact with them, especially in terms of contracts and mana sharing. You remember that hilarious moment when Subaru tried to flex his “skills” and ended up in a mess instead? I feel like any attempt he makes to manage multiple contracts would lead to equally funny situations.
