Let's suppose that one day you make Subaru the temporary king of Lugunica, and he also brings Otto along to help him govern. Would the country prosper, or would it completely collapse?
I find it interesting, since neither of them are very powerful, but they are quite dangerous. So, in a hand-to-hand fight, who would win without divine protection, without hired spirits, etc.? I personally am going with Subaru; I think he could beat Otto in a physical fight.
Is this image real or just fandom exaggeration?
Let's assume this scene takes place in Re:Zero with Subaru and Reinhard. Would Subaru's words have any impact on Reinhard?
Considering what happened and that Reinhard basically prioritized blindly following the kingdom's orders over his friends, how do you think Reinhard would react if Subaru were to tell him this?
Wilhelm may be a deficient father and grandfather, but he is undoubtedly a great man. Unlike his fraudulent grandson, Wilhelm does not blindly obey the kingdom like a guard dog; instead, he makes his own decisions based on his morals. The kingdom as it is now is not worthy of Wilhelm van Astrea wielding his sword for them.
Let's say Subaru could use the Invisible Providence ability to lift and demolish buildings.
Crush is undoubtedly the worst option currently, even worse than Emilia and Felt. But this isn't just in the most recent arcs; from the beginning, Crush was a terrible choice. First of all, Crush isn't a bad character and has many positive qualities, but she has a couple of negative ones that overshadow everything else. First, Crush is excessively impulsive; she throws herself headlong into anything, overestimating her own abilities. This is evident with the White Whale. It's true that Crush was very prepared, but seriously, if a large army were enough to defeat a great mabeast, then the White Whale wouldn't have been tormenting the world for 400 years. We know from alternate routes like Ayamatsu or Aganau that Crush would have found the whale and died in combat against it. Crush overestimates her own abilities, believing she could defeat this legendary beast, only to be confronted with the reality that her entire army wasn't the one that would end the great mabeast; it would only be another army. More than the beast destroyed With her second decision to break the pact with Volcano, I mean, I understand that Crush wants to strengthen the country and prevent them from depending on the dragon, but breaking the contract would be the worst thing she could do. She would literally turn the entire Church of the Dragon against her, and they are everywhere, from the royal court to the nobility and even those in positions of power. If Crush broke the contract with the divine dragon, she would only weaken the kingdom even more and leave it vulnerable to foreign invasions. Definitely not just a bad decision, but a stupid one, and it angers me that no one from the cast tells her that breaking that contract would be foolish. And lastly, regarding what's been happening in the last few episodes, I know that Crush is probably not in the best mental state, but seriously, if Crush suspected that Miklotov might be a traitor, she could have tried to gather information, evidence, or get allies, but instead, she went alone to kill everyone. Crush was lucky that there were only random people there because if there had been someone truly strong, Crush would have died right there. This is what I think. It shows the worst of Crush: how impulsive she is, how excessively stubborn she is, and how she makes possibly the worst decisions in the entire story. At first, she may seem like the best option to govern, but as soon as you look at her a little more closely, you notice all her flaws, and she ends up being the worst candidate.
This post is solely to show some love to Petelgeuse. I feel he's being a bit underrated and forgotten, but the guy is undoubtedly the best of the archbishops. No other came close to what he was or what he conveyed. It's no coincidence that people in the world of Re:Zero believed he was the leader of the Witch's Cult, and despite not being the most powerful, he was undoubtedly the most dangerous. So,
Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti >>>>>>>>>>> Regulus, Capella, Sirius, and gluttony brothers
We know that Subaru is absolutely essential for everyone to live in Re:Zero, because we know that without him, everything falls apart. But how do the other characters in Re:Zero perceive him? Do they truly understand how important Subaru is, or do they think that, while important, he isn't a vital part of the whole?
Let's say that upon arriving in Lugunica, Subaru becomes a Viltrumite. His strength level would be similar to that of Invincible from the first season, and like Mark, Subaru could become stronger through combat and training.
In the hypothetical scenario where Jogo had ended up in the Sendai Colony, he could have easily forced a stalemate with the other four players. His ritual would allow him to overcome most of them, with the exception of Ryu.
Against Kurourushi, Jogo's fire attacks could easily incinerate Kuro's cockroaches and deal massive damage to the cockroach curse. Jogo himself is superior to Kurourushi, in addition to having Domain Expansion.
Against Dhruv, Jogo's ranged attacks could easily destroy Dhruv's shikigami, leaving him vulnerable for Jogo to finish him off.
Against Uro, while she could redirect Jogo's fire attacks, she couldn't redirect all of them. Jogo can attack from multiple angles with his fire and lava blasts and explosive mosquitoes to overwhelm her and prevent her from redirecting all the attacks.
Ryu is the only one against whom... Jogo doesn't have a clear advantage, although Ryu is much stronger and more resilient than Jogo. In terms of firepower and speed, I see them as equal, with a slight advantage for Ryu.
Let's suppose Subaru could fully control his return through death. Subaru would still have to die to activate the ability, but he could set control points and choose which checkpoint to return to, regardless of the time.
If, the moment Subaru is summoned to the world of Re:Zero, he were granted an overpowered ability that would place him above most of the world—this isn't just a power fantasy; it really raises a lot of questions for me—how would Subaru's personality change? How would his relationships with his friends be affected if he were essentially granted power right at the start of his story? And how would this impact the character's psychology?
Let's suppose that, like Kazuma, Subaru was hit by a car and died, and met Aqua. But when they went to the isekai world, due to Satella's intervention, Subaru and Aqua ended up in the world of Re:Zero.
As we know, Subaru can remember people even if they've been affected by Gluttony's power, but what if Subaru also forgot those affected? It might sound selfish, but I feel this would prevent Subaru from suffering so much throughout the story.
In this scenario, instead of hitting Garfield with Invisible Providence, Subaru simply gives him a testicular twist as soon as the fight begins.
As we know in canon, Subaru can't freely use the Authority of Sloth he gained after defeating Petelgeuse. Using it causes him great pain, and he can't use it for very long. But in this scenario, Subaru can freely use Invisible Providence without any consequences, aside from being able to summon more hands—not as many as Petelgeuse, but more than just one.
Let's assume Subaru abuses Return Through Death to defeat Julius. How many attempts would it take him to defeat him? Does absolutely anything count—learning a spell, making a contract with spirits, etc.? Let's assume Subaru's save point is one week before his duel with Julius.
Watching the last episode, I just hate him. He never does anything when the kingdom is in danger and treats who is possibly the best knight in Lugunica like he's an archbishop.
