Reader’s Question:
I have a question about Re:Zero. If Subaru were to talk about his Return by Death ability to the Witch Cult members, wouldn’t he be able to get them killed? Why doesn’t he do that?
Digging into Subaru’s Dilemma in Re:Zero
So, I was diving into the world of Re:Zero
the other day, and a question popped up that really got me thinking. You know how Subaru has this wild ability called “Return by Death”? If he were to spill the beans about it to the Witch Cult members, wouldn’t that just lead to them biting the dust? I mean, the thought alone is pretty intriguing! One of the responses I found was really interesting. It pointed out that when Emilia died, it was because Subaru had shared the ability with her. This made me realize that there’s a hefty weight on Subaru’s shoulders when it comes to using his power. He’s got to be super careful about who he tells, right? It’s not just about the potential to save lives; it’s also about the risk of causing more harm. But let’s be real for a second. Imagine if Subaru did casually mention it to the wrong person! I can just picture him in a tense situation, trying to be all serious, and then he accidentally slips up. “Oh, by the way, I can come back to life after I die!” Cue the dramatic gasp from the Witch Cult members. And then, boom—chaos ensues! It’s like a comedy sketch gone wrong, but with life-and-death stakes. And then there’s the whole mental aspect of it too. Subaru’s been through a rollercoaster of emotions, right? I mean, the poor guy’s already dealing with enough trauma without adding more pressure. It’s like when you’re trying to get through a tough day and someone asks you to do one more thing. You just know it’s going to push you over the edge! Now, if he were to try and tell someone like Reinhardt? Oh man, I can’t even imagine! Subaru’s heart would probably explode from sheer anxiety. The idea of possibly leading someone to their death? That’s heavy stuff, and I can totally see why he’d hesitate. Honestly, I can relate to that feeling of wanting to share something but being terrified of the consequences. It reminds me of the time I tried to impress my friends by attempting to cook a fancy dinner. I was so excited to show off my skills, but I ended up burning everything. Talk about a disaster! It’s like, sometimes you just have to know when to keep certain things to yourself. So, what about you? Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to share something but felt like it could backfire? Or maybe you have your own funny cooking stories? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Let’s swap some stories!
