considering Regulus and Subaru's conversation, Subaru really would make an incredible witch archbishop

If Regulus is named after a star, Subaru is named after an entire constellation

This Episode was pure hype. Seeing Anastasia fighting for the first time was so cool, also the animation for that was pretty sick. I'm so hyped for Al vs. Capella, the setup here was great with a nice little hint in there.

Going over to Regu vs Reinhard, the action scenes looked sooo good especially for Re:Zero standarts, Whitefox cooked with this one. Emilias Al Hyuma was incredible. Also, Regulus is so funny to me, his expressions are great and the scene where he broke through the bridge was hilarious. Oh and also: STARS MENTIONED LETS GO!!!

Going over to the Pris vs. Sirius fight, I really love the heavy expressions of Liliana. The Kiss scene was also hot af. The rest of the fight looked not quite as good as Reinhard vs. Regulus but still reeaaally good. And I have to do that again I'm sorry... IRIS AND THE KING OF THORNS MENTIONED LETS GOO!!! (great reaction by Priscilla too)

The last Part of Subaru mocking Regulus was fire, the OST was fire, everything was fire man. I love this anime.

I ain't hyped for Al vs. Capella. Al strikes me as the kind of guy who does all his fighting off-screen. Like the most we're going to get is Felix saying to Subaru "Wow, that Al vs. Capella fight was sooooo coool."

Why would you be hyped for something that..... *looks up what ever Iris and the King of Thorns is* only mentioned in the books? Of this series?

It was a fantastic episode as per usual, the WF team knocked this out of the park for this one, so good to see Reinhard and Emilia duke it out with Regulus all the while Subaru goads the 'Little King' into being distracted by his taunts. Solid 10/10 episode for me tbh.

I did not expect much on fighting animation in re zero. But this episode fighting animation is clean. Emilia is cute, Subaru is such a big brain and Reinhard... to the moon.

So that means you couldn't harm Regulus' body since his body state is Paused?

Also, it's impressive that Subaru knows a lot of star trivia.

The car company Subaru use the star cluster of Pleiades as their logo, maybe he was raised in Japan knowing stuff like that?

Actually really good cgi. Didn’t look off putting in the slightest. I didn’t even notice it until I watched an episode review on YouTube that commented on the cgi! Animation id six much better this season, loving the multiple fights with all the archbishops, definitely my favorite series of re zero

The fight between Subaru and Regulus is intense yet Subaru is using his wits to look for Regulus' weakness. Next episode should see how Subaru triumphs. In the meantime, we see Priscilla gets knocked by Wrath.

These conference battle episodes are probably not as entertaining as to watch each of them separately and completed.

The battle against Regulus quickly turned into something goofy, not the kind of atmosphere it should have but lol so funny.

Cappella is the cutest asshole villain of them all, don't hurt her too much.

Sirius will probably die at first.

really loved how goofy the whole regulus fight was. despite him being the strongest archbishop and all the aura farming he did, in the end he’s a narcissistic idiot who won’t even kill his enemies until he proves them wrong. and his personality will definitely be the end of him

aside from that everything was top notch this EP. animation, direction, soundtrack all 10/10. best EP of this season hands down

Kudos to Subaru for figuring out "pausing" aka "time stop" of Regulus invisibility, a good reference to "old" game controller haha.

This is so damn good! And unlike usually where there is one clear major fight which gets delayed by showing unimportant minor ones, all of them feel important and most importantly interesting!

There is so much to say, I dont even know where to start.

Sorry Emilia, but Priscilla gets my vote in the election.

Seeing Emilia actually doing something is still so weird after having to get carried for 2 seasons.

Funnily enough, the main fight with Regulus is the one with the most levity. I guess they don't want it to come across too serious but it's starting to seem almost comical at some points (she hit the guy in the nuts lol). I don't mind some laughs to ease the tension, I feel like shit might hit the fan (even more) soon anyway and then it'll take a turn.

So the first half of the Regulus fight trying to be all cartoon-comical, Emilia sounding more and more like a toddler, it all had me like


At least Subaru didn't talk like an imp the whole episode, it was normal towards the end. so there's progress.

But really, tone deafness really letting down what could've been a tense episode once again. It'd be appropriate to remove the psychological or drama tags and put comedy in if this is how unserious it's gonna be. I don't mind a tone shift, but this is tone merging basically, tone butchering.

When Subaru and Reinhard are the main combatants of a fight, it's kind of impossible for their fight not to have levity. Subaru's death just means everyone comes back more prepared, and Reinhard has too many hacks to die.

It's every other character in the series that can die, so you kind of have tension with Crusch-sama in bed with Felix.

Oh dear that was cringe episode, all the archbishops, Subaru and the singer loli.

When Emilia and Regulus were bantering I feel like seeing some 8yo children speaking to each other.

The best part is Reinhard and Anastasia scenes, as they are the few people who don't speak like chuunibyou in this S3~

ReZero is really killing it in the second half and Regulus is a cooler antagonist than I thought he would be. I feel like he's in the top 5 of strongest though, given how much trouble he gives Reinhard.

Another week, another banger, loving how the full counterattack is all beginning on multiple fronts against the various Sin Archbishops.

Feris finally get to face the very individual who put his master in her current ailments. Too bad our favourite catboy doesn't get the strength nor mental space to ever face Capella in all her brattiness💢 Capella even managed to gaslit him to stab herself to guilt him for stabbing the very image of Crusch before being promptly blasted away by Anastasia disguising as Crusch, followed by Al welcoming her in his domain. No doubt my boy will see to it that Capella stops her smug attitude soon...

The confrontation against Sirius involves her usual greetings, which somehow did not have any effect on Priscilla, I thought it's because of a divine protection, but Sirius' comments insinuate that Priscilla's resistance to it might be due solely to her seething hatred towards something or an event which for some reason Sirius has insight to. However, I digressed, all thoughts are thrown off the window when we got some brief sweaty, sticky, kiss between Priscilla and Liliana, THAT caught me off-guard. DAMN, what a blessing.

Still, the spotlight will be the tag-match between Regulus against the trio lead by Subaru.
Without Reinhardt, Regulus would've completely wiped the floor given the numerous taunts that Subaru dished out and how Emilia stood up to Regulus. Reinhardt is a ragdoll-machine, kicking Regulus' invincible ass all over the place in a bid to figure his invincibility. The whole segment in their part is a mix of back and forth dissing Regulus coupled with a number of trial-and-errors trying until finally Subaru pieced it all together.
|
For once Regulus' expressed a face that graced me with divine satisfaction, here Subaru stands prideful and looked down on Regulus mockingly for finding out the truth to his invincibility, and the loathsome glare is a testament to that irritation, reaching its tipping point. Let's fucking go!!!

Yapped a lot about my GOAT's action, but had to mention that other than the Priscilla x Liliana Yuri kiss, there were some subtle or not-so-subtle (depending on perspective) fanservice with Emilia, like damn, she's been so actively confrontational in her combat style in S3, that we got to see her beauty in full display, peak.

I feel like an idiot for not realizing the symbolism Tappei Nagatsuki uses with astronomy; it is everywhere, and it's even apparent with Subaru. Although his name is technically not associated with astronomy, it literally means to unite, which is exactly what Subaru has been doing on his journey, uniting people for one cause. I absolutely loved this episode and the one before it. So much mystery and buildup around Priscilla, who I initially thought might not be too interesting, but now there is so much here to talk about—who are these people or possibly even stories that wrath is referencing? I just can't wait to find out! Now we finally have a peek into Regulus' ability, and upon reflection on Emilia's past, it all comes together now. I need more Re:Zero, it's just too good.

The fight with greed is pretty good overall but I feel like it was way to comical and light-hearted. There's no tension at all and they're going way over the top in trying to depict regulus getting humiliated and beaten. Now he just seems incredibly incompetent and weak. I think if they had depicted him as more of a threat in this episode, the fight would have been way better.

here we go, the biggest asspull of the entire series. Even though I love Re:zero, I always hated the Regulus fight. I thought more people would be talking about it when it got animated, but seems nobody cares? Regulus => Lion's Heart => his heart is not beating => he can stop time. This is such a weird conclusion. Lion's heart could mean ANYTHING but somehow Subaru instantly knows Regulus can stop time, yeah right.

I will always wonder why this fight was not done in the usual way of Subaru dying and slowly figuring it out. Regulus was always shown as the big boss being hard to beat but the actual fight with him is comical and has no tension

I'm just trying to figure out Subaru's car related weakness. But I don't know enough about cars, and specifically subarus, to guess what Subaru's car related weakness.

Maybe his heart isn't beating because LION HEART van Astrea has it. At least, that's what I figured the name Reinhardt meant.

Another pretty damn good episode, and it had great animation too.

So Subaru was able to figure out Regulu's invincibility shtick, I still don't know how he came to that conclusion, how does having his heart not beating automatically mean that Regulus is stopping time on his body? maybe this was expanded more on the VN or light novel or whatever the source material is, but I wasn't convinced with the anime, and realistically speaking, Subaru and Emilia are way too calm in front of a guy like Regulus, like, WAY too calm which kinda doesn't make sense either, they are having a regular conversation and smiling and all, they are lucky they have plot armor and have a lot of time to talk without Reinhard around, because otherwise Regulus would just kill them and get it over with, but maybe Regulus isn't taking it seriously either because he's cocky and doesn't believe he will die anytime soon, but still, it would be better if Subaru and Emilia take this more seriously, they are way too calm in a life and death situation like this.

That's my only nitpick so far, but other than this, I'm enjoying this season a lot.

This episode was full of an amazing fight, very good voice lines and a lot of funny and crazy scenes. I loved the fight between Regulus and Emilia, Reinhard & Subaru and how strong they were against him. At the end they could find out his power and the next episode will show if he can (or will) be defeted. Also the side plots were interesting to watch. :)
