Oh that is an interesting thought. It's very possible Subaru is projecting his failure and flaws onto Emilia. He doesn't really know her at all despite his undying (lol) feelings for her, so its probably easy for him to do it at this point.

There is so much uncertainty in this episode that I can't know what to think right now.
This freaking whale! I don't get how it works or how it will interact with Subaru's Return by Death or anything! Plus if this whale erases people it eats....why would anyone be afraid of it? It's a creature that apparently never kills anyone right? Except it did kill that one swordsman but didn't eat him? Ok? I don't know. Will Rem come back? She better, but I don't know she will. In a sense Emilia's death is almost secondary since you know she'll just be back next episode after Subaru dies. That'll be fine. It's far more concerning with Rem since we don't know what will happen. The Witch as well remains totally hard to read. That power is completely malicious. It tries to scare Subaru into staying quiet before and when it realizes that doesn't matter it then kills the person in front of him. What is up with that? It's like this power refuses to directly harm Subaru past just giving him a scare or frankly being a jerk that is openly mocking him. Frankly I'm just concerned about how this situation will continue. I don't think Rem would be gone for good, but there's no guarantee she's back next episode either. But it's hardly going to be Subaru's rise to recovery if Rem is gone. It won't be much of an accomplishment if she's not back. What will even happen when that whale dies? Nothing or some kind of return of memory? I don't know. It feels like this episode can be summed up as "holy crap.....and I don't know."

I'm just wondering how that first swordsman didn't get erased from history. Maybe he wasn't devoured?
I mean for Subaru it could just a side effect of his ripple effect proof memory. I totally understand Subaru being such an incoherent mess. He's probably panicking so hard he probably can't even think of lying, let alone string together a coherent one. Lets hope that Rem's erasure isn't something that happens retroactively. That would suck the most. As for Puck calling her his daughter... "musume" can also mean "girl" iirc. Also, since no one has exclaimed this yet: Being Subaru is suffering. |

About time for Subaru to realize how amazing the witch is. There doesn't seem to be any limits to her power, so he can go ahead and die as many times as it takes. His enemies don't show any mercy, so it's time for him to become cold-blooded as well. We get that it's painful, but by now I want to see him put on an evil grin as he bites his tongue and drowns in his own blood. That's the only way he can win.

Subaru also still doesn't understand the ability completely. All this episode did was show him that the witch isn't above going after other people if he tries to tell them he has the ability. For all Subaru knows, he has a finite number of respawns at each checkpoint.

He has to keep wanting to live. And it makes sense that he does. The previous arcs should make that clear. He does lose something every time he dies. The memories of those around him and his connections to them. After having to re-start his connection to Rem and Ram in the second arc....I'd expect him to value staying alive and allowing those connections to remain intact. The second someone "gets over" dying they could easily become a monster. People are asking Subaru to become a sociopath here. Just get over the loss of bonds and relationships. Get over seeing the people you care about dead. Get over the pain of dying. Yeah, that sounds really simple.
