Reader’s Question:
In episode 63 of Re:Zero, there’s a scene where Kurugan slams Garfiel into the ground and then just stands by until Garfiel wakes up. Why didn’t Kurugan finish him off?
Why Kurugan Didn’t Finish Off Garfiel
Hey there! So, I was thinking about that intense scene in episode 63 of
Re:Zero where Kurugan takes Garfiel down and then just… waits. It’s like he had all the power in the world but chose to stand back and let Garfiel wake up. I couldn’t help but ponder why he didn’t just finish the job right then and there. One of the comments I came across really struck a chord with me. It mentioned “戦士の矜持,” which translates to the pride of a warrior. That totally makes sense! It’s like Kurugan had this code of honor. He only draws all his swords against someone he truly respects, and by acknowledging Garfiel’s skills, he was essentially saying, “You’ve earned this moment.” It’s fascinating how these characters have such depth, right? I remember binge-watching some stand-up comedy while I was waiting for my kid to finish up with their playdate. I had all these snacks spread out – probably too many if I’m being honest – and I couldn’t help but chuckle at how the comedians would sometimes highlight the absurdity of life. It made me think about how Kurugan’s decision mirrors that comedic tension. There’s something funny and yet profound about a powerful figure choosing restraint. It’s almost like a punchline that lands just right – surprising but also kind of satisfying. And think about it: how often do we find ourselves in situations where we could push harder, but we hold back out of respect or simply to see how things play out? I mean, I can’t count the number of times I’ve arrived too early to a gathering, just hanging out, waiting for the moment to be right. Sometimes, that anticipation is part of the experience. So, what do you think? Have you ever been in a situation where you chose to wait instead of jumping in? Or maybe you’ve seen that kind of restraint in a show or movie that really resonated with you? I’d love to hear your thoughts and stories in the comments!
