... after getting over the shock of the episode and thinking over it a bit... is that...

Spoiler for Giant Thing:

Puck!? Given Subaru keeps getting frozen this episode and Puck's usage of ice based magic in the first few episodes... it just didn't sink in for me because he's normally in cat form... this looks like a giant rat...

I wonder if it's Puck..lol. Similar voice and ice powers. But why would he kill Subaru? Where is Roswaal? What happened to Emilia? So many quetions not enough answers

[FlareKnight]

Ignoring the troll baiting....because of course, this episode definitely knocked it out of the park. If anything deserved a 10/10 this one certainly did.

I say good luck to the rest of the anime year because topping Re:Zero is going to be a task.

This episode just hit the emotional points right on. And I do approve of surprises. Honestly I wasn't sure if Subaru was pretending to be crazy to just protect himself and stop having to participate in events for a while or if he had just plain shut down after seeing that tragedy. I was leaning towards total shut down since frankly it would be believable after all he's gone through.

No freaking clue how they can deal with this. While Subaru is boiling with rage, at least it seems well directed. That absolute psychopath needs to be put in the grave. I'm with Subaru on that point.

Credit to Rem. Just kept on fighting and fighting to the end. Even using the last vestige of strength she had left to save Subaru. She got the job done. All the credit in the world for getting that done.

[FlameSparkZ]

Yeah...Roswaal is always conveniently away when something bad happens (didn't see him dead when Subaru was checking the mansion).
What's up with that?

However, it referred to Emilia as its 'daughter'? Is Puck literally the Jealous Witch? And is Emilia a closer relation than just "half elf"?

Spoiler for Speculation:

I don't think Puck is the magic witch as it wouldn't make sense for the sloth to want to kill the witch right? So if the witch is pulling the strings behind both Sloth and Subaru (pride?) It's unlikely Emilia or Puck is the actual witch. It's still possible that they're related somehow.

It's interesting that we get to see what happens after Subaru dies. I wonder if it's a time leap backwards or if he is just revived in a parallel universe. The world appears to continue to exist even after subaru dies because you see the world fade out in the whiteout.

My guess

Spoiler for Hmm:

Probably got mad because something happened to Emilia and went berserk
Or he's maybe being controlled by a brainwashed Emilia or something like that

That scene with Puck at the end was also fantastic. Didn't expect him to be that scary powerfull.

[HandofFate]

ep15 was intense. O_O

[Arkard]

Took a look at the opening from the previous episode which showed a brief glimpse of Betelguese and what I'm guessing are the invisible hands he was mentioning this chapter. Aren't those the exact hands we've been seeing every time the Witch interferes with Subaru? *shudder*

[Seihai]

This episode was so good I watched it 3 times in a row and there's so much to come. What happened to Betty? What the hell is Roswaal doing? What exactly does Puck intend to accomplish by calling forth Fimbulwinter (I'll just call it that because it sounds cool)? What's up with Betel asking Subaru if he is "Pride", further suggesting he's associated with the Witch Cultists in an indirect manner? Why is Felix so cute? So many things that I wanna see answered. Next week can't come soon enough.

Puck Said in Ep3 I think that If something happens he will act "according to his contract".
Emilia also said that she has a trump card which Subaru compared to a self-destruct.
Now when we see her die(supposedly? I mean there's no way to be sure without the body) we see a zone of deadly ice that seems to be expanding over time?

So whatever he did here most likely is something he and Emilia agreed upon in case of her death.

Maybe if Emilia is severely harmed or killed, Puck is to literally cover the world in deadly snow or something? Would especially fit if she is the witch.

I'm a bit lost. At what point does Subaru respawns now? Is it after he had the big fight with Emilia, or it it before the submit to establish the candidates for the throne?

It seems to be during his stay with military-waifu and Rem I don't think it is established exactly when, but it seems to be way after he messed everything up.

After he snaps and Emilia leaves him in the capital I believe.

After the fight with Emila with happened 4 days ago. At the present he's stayed with Crusch for 3 days now. The Witch Cult attacks Roswaal's territory in about 1-2 days.

That's what I'm hoping. The most annoying portions of the show is him dealing with his internal strife and agony. Lashing out at Rem when she's just about to kill Subaru is one thing but brooding over his argument with Emilia and death's everyone's death is just gets old time and again.

I seriously hope he puts his foot down and mans up to what he needs to do.

I think it's around the point where Subaru was talking to the store owner about the candidates and Rem was left watching the store for a bit. Not sure if it was before or after that specific moment, but probably during that shopping trip.

Which is good since I don't think that argument should be lost. Should not get the easy way out of not having that argument happen.

Real question is how to deal with this situation. Those cultists are no joke. They have numbers, a willingness to die, and a complete psychopath in charge. Plus they are far away from the situation and Subaru trying to rush home before his treatment is over could lead to the same conflict we saw originally.

[Wandering Soul]

That was one well directed episode. Pretty much hit all the right notes.

If I didn't know any better, I would think that the last scene in the snow with Subaru being slowly frozen was the ending to the series.

[Dengar]

So that large thing was puck? I mean I had a hunch but is there any clear evidence of it?

I know right. Looking at those credits rolling like the ending scene in a tragic movie.
