Huh, it was revealed that the whale´s smoke caused the eradication of somebody´s existence.

It was revealed that Subaru thinks that is happening. Either he's wrong or the author messed up royally (imho). They lost soldiers, but it was nothing like when he traveled with the merchant.


They actually remember that they had 20 men, the Merchant (Odo was his name?) didn't even remember that he traveled in a group, or did he? I can't remember - and if he did, isn't it more likely that he remembers the merchants that survived, since the whale only followed Subaru. And it would be weird that the whale has to eliminate them in a specific way for them not to be erased.
At least he didn't remember that Subura had a companion.

That beast existed for 400 years. How do Survivors know that the whale killed someone? Why does the Old Man even remember his wife? etc. etc.

And why did the whale "let Subaru go" and "disappear", it clearly tried to kill him? Something is not adding up imho, but I could be wrong.

[shinta|hikari]

I thought that the squad leader believed he had 20 men, but he actually had more and completely forgot about them after they got hit by the fog attack. Subaru was the only one who remembered, being one of the witch's sins. That's why he concluded the fog blast erases existence.

[KrayZ33]

Ya but it's odd that he knows he had 20 men in the first place. If they are completely erased, you'd think that he'd say "all 16 out of 16 are still alive" and Subaru would say something like "weren't they 20?".

Odo, Otto or whatever his name was, should at least have remembered Rems sacrifice... basically "someone sacrificed himself so we could escape". But he forgot about her completely, as if she never was there in the first place.

edit: Also, remember how the first merchant disappeared.
No fog, no sound, just gone.

If it is the whale, I believe they could've done a better job explaining it and be more consistent.

[MFauli]

I´m leaning towards: The author didn´t think this through. Think of it like Steins;Gate, where characters other than Okabe would occasionally have memories from other world lines.

new episode is out
-----------------------

Don´t fuck this up, Ram! sigh
She looks like she´s in full "Im here to keep you from getting close to Emilia"-mode, allowing for no negotiation at all.

[shinta|hikari]

You know what would be awesome? If Subaru reveals that he actually died dozens of times since regaining his resolve from Rem's love before he actually got this far. I mean, his luck and success so far have been ridiculous. You don't just suddenly git gud like that. You die several times first, just like any hardcore video game.

Subaru's allies are pretty imba. If a dipshit like Subaru can dodge those arms, old swordsman would've killed Betel whatever anyway. He can just Bankai and teleport behind Betel and chop him to pieces... I mean, the arms could be cut... How weak is that..?

I loved the scene where he confirmed Betel's death. That was just hilarious and so meta.

I believe we're about to see Roswaal's true colors. And if that's true, I wonder how Ram died in all the previous instances. Did she die at the hands of Mr. Sloth, or was Emilia and company responsible for Ram's deaths?

[NeoCybercoin]

Yeah, the further this goes, the less I trust Roswaal. I'd suspect him of being a member of the Cult but Ram and Rem can smell that so I doubt he'd go unnoticed. That, or he could somehow mask it.

[shinta|hikari]

Roswaal wants Emilia to be queen so he can gain power. Why waste all his effort if he's just gonna kill her randomly in the end? He could've done so many times before.

Puck also seems to know about sins, including Subaru's. He just turns a blind eye to it because Subaru seems like a nice kid. Didn't it seem odd how attached Puck was to Subaru? It all makes sense with his conversation with Subaru before killing him that last time. Puck knows a lot more than he let's on, and he might be getting close to Subaru to keep an eye on him. It'd be odd for him to leave Emilia in Roswaal's care if the utterly suspicious guy is actually suspicious.

I think Ram just mistook Subaru's force, which is made up of Emilia's enemies, as an attack group. And coz she inherited all the bad genes.

Let me poke at the bee's nest without interruption!

Episode 23 is out!

[MFauli]

Was that confirmation that Emilia IS the witchß Beetlejuice clearly shouted "My witch!" towards her.

Also LOL @Emilia´s magic barrier in the forest. So it only works when you hold it. How does it keep mabeast from the village then, when they can just run inbetween trees? Inconsistency for drama´s sake.

Dumb Wilhelm is dumb. Why did he just stay in place until Beetlejuice could explode himself, holding a little speech to announce it?

And fuck. I wonder if Subaru really died here. Would mean another reset. Also I wanna know what keeps Beetlejuice from overtaking Julius, Felis or anybody else´s body. Because Subaru held the book?

[shinta|hikari]

He'll naturally reset. The village got pawned. Maybe Petra is even dead. He had to die to redo all that anyway. I'm sure he'll respawn post whale fight, maybe even after he defeated the first Betel body.

So how the fuck does that possession thing even work? Can Sloth just target anyone when he doesn't have a body? In that case, they have to seal him somehow. Maybe it really is the book and they just have to burn that. It seemed important to the psycho guys after all.

Emilia and Puck suck at using their magic. If you can make ice crystals spout from all around the enemy, make them spout from underneath him. Then he loses footing, then you kill him with an ice spear or two. It's like they don't know how to fight... Or that Emilia's magic has no consistency whatsoever.

What's stopping her from spouting ice crystals directly on the enemy's body? What's the difference between the ground and a stationary person? What... Whatever.

About the crystal, I'm thinking it works like a barrier when used in conjunction with the other stones. Subaru took one out, breaking the area effect, but since he is holding onto it, the dogs didn't touch him. At least that's how I want to think it happened so I can complain about 1 less thing.

[NeoCybercoin]

Maybe it is the book or maybe it can be anyone with a strong enough 'love' on them. AKA Witch's Miasma. Something Subaru owns plenty of. I kinda wanna see him become a spirit user now that Julius said he has a strong affinity for them.

[shinta|hikari]

Is the loli girl a spirit?

[Buffalobiian]

You just want him to be a loli user.

I think it's the book. If Beetlejuice could have taken his body originally it would have made sense to do it sooner. He only just revealed the book.

If it was based on Miasma then he should have an even higher priority since his stench is Sin Archbishop grade.

Puck might be inefficient, but he's totally boss for saying stuff like "I get why you drool over my daughter but go die now"

[shinta|hikari]

You just want him to be a loli user.

I think we all know that. You've been stating the obvious a lot recently. Is that a side effect of being a doctor? (I'm kidding, in case feathers get ruffled.)

[MFauli]

Speaking of loli, damn your sig. Once I take a look at it, I cant stop staring. Blue hairs ftw.

[Buffalobiian]

Shinta, it's a side effect off being overseas, having patchy Internet and posting on a phone.

It MAY also be part of the job too.

[KrayZ33]

Sheet, dem cliffhangers.

Subaru's quest is so fucked up. There are only 2 episodes left, I guess we won't have a hard reset and it'll be (hopefully) quick. I wonder if he'll get a power-up from all this and what happens to his "witch aura".
