Although I have to mention that the last few minutes left a sour taste. First of all with Subaru just blatantly stating that he likes Emilia, which frankly at this stage I consider rather superficial. And second, after all that talk, a ll that self-depreciation, he talks about becoming the greatest hero ever? The hell? Modesty is not in his vocabulary, huh.  |
To overcome all this mess Subaru first need to accept who he really is, and all that dialogue where he literally hated himself is exactly that, accepting the piece of shit he really is.
The second step to finally end all this nightmare is rejecting his past, which means, rejecting who he really is and transform himself into a new person. What this episode stated is how Subaru did this process and started from zero, that's why he wants to become a Hero, someone who can be the man of Rem's dreams and the guy who can give Emilia the happiness she deserve.
On a side note, some people really needs to rewatch the first 10 episodes, Emilia did exactly the same as Subaru and if nobody remember she was his first love, that's not something you can forget.
