Not noticing stuff is more to do with stealth. He dodged her belly slice in the past, and her fight against Felt's old man gramps was human level.

He knew where that specific attack would come from (and he still couldnt dodge it, remember?).
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
What scebe are you refering to?
Either way, he actually managed to fight against Elsa somewhat, even disrupting her plans or movement.
So did Emilia.
I don't see her above and beyond most strong characters we've seen so far.
Stronger than Rem and Ram, probably. But we have basically no guess about powerlevels in this show in general.
We only know that Reinhardt is basically god-level strong, but we don't know how strong Aldebaran (Priscillas Helmet-dude knight, I had to google the name) is in comparison for example.
It's a bit sad that we don't get to know much about how magic works in that universe. Spirits seem to be a big deal and there is also something like blessings. Felt has the blessing of the Wind for example.
If we knew more about it, and things just like it, we could make a better guess.
I hope that Roswaal will at some point reveal more about it, or at least the show will tell us more about it once it turns to Roswaal and his story (and why he backed Emilia and what he does etc)... which by the looks of it, might actually happen in this season.
Funnily enough, I've been discussing the same thing with a friend of mine who is also watching this at work this morning.Also didn't Beatrice actually remember Subaru even after he dies? I think something like that was shown early in S1.
We couldn't quite remember how it all played out when it came to Beatrice, so I'll be happy if someone can clear it up.
He woke up in the libary once after he died and Beatrice knew him already briefly. But I believe Subaru concluded that it had to be the second meeting in the libary (he was kicked out rather quickly the first time around) and not the first. And it made sense from what happened onwards and until now.
Then we went a little further and tried to remember if Subaru has an active contract with Beatrice, because they did make one at some point, but I believe Subaru died in that cycle. Did they ever remake it when they went to village to kill the Ma-beasts while trying to lift the curse on him and saving the Village?
And then we were wondering - what if the contract doesn't actually stop existing when Subaru dies. It's a "spirit"-thing after all. Maybe it's actually still intact and Beatrice saved him subconsciously?
And it might even bite him in the arse here, because now he can't die to reset things because Beatrice will protect him.
And the most recent thing (but we still couldn't remember, lol) didn't Roswaal say to Subaru that he should tell Beatrice something in the cycle BEFORE this one? Beatrice would know exactly what to do and could help him. (Or was it someone completely different?)
And you guess what, wouldn't it be amazing if he says exactly that what Roswaal told him, but in this cycle, Roswaal never actually did! He will become even more suspicious.
We were both pretty hyped about the next 2-3 episodes after discussing all that.

I don't remember that.Originally Posted by MFauli
Well, he has a concrete objective now, and it's always more fun when he has a specific goal he's trying over and over to solve.
The first several episodes of this season, we didn't even know what he was SUPPOSED to be doing.

Beatrice doesn't remember shit on revives.

We do have to remember that Subs has an unknown ace up his sleeve if he needs it if he tells Bea to "ask the question".
New episode:
-----------------
Beako has a Gospel. wtf.
I forgot how annoying it is when Subaru get singled out just for smelling like a Witch. It's as if he's the only one who ever gets singled out as well. No random Cultists get their ass kicked just because they smelled dodgy.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Gah. Was getting interesting last week and now we're back to being uninteresting. It's the curse of this series when he gets into a particularly long loop.
How often have we seen characters that can smell the Witch's scent running into random cultists?
We'll never know.. because they never sniffed them out.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I mean, did Beako ever meet up with Rem? Maybe that's why she's always in her room: So that nobody sniffs her witch scent.
I'm not quite sure about Beako's real feelings. Her crying during the whole thing could be hinting that she actually DOES like Subaru. But it could also just be her emotions towards her ... what was it, brother? or whoever she said she's doing it for.
Also fuck Garf. Honestly, I didnt like how Rem actually killed Subaru in one of his lives, and now theyre doing the same here. Just makes it hard to forgive that character in the next life of Subaru's.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Wait, you're on the fence about that?
That was like the most blatantly obvious tsundere denial of all time.
We also don't have any other real examples of characters that smell like the Witch, but AREN'T working for her. It's pretty much just high level cultists, monsters and Subaru at this point.
In fact, it's seeming more and more likely that Subaru IS serving the Witch, he doesn't doesn't realize he's doing it.
Until we see more examples of the scent being wrong, I'm less inclined to give characters shit for relying on it.
It's really interesting that now, with some more backstory, Garf wanting to kill or at least him being ready to kill Subaru is way more understandable than what Rem did early on, even though the reason is the same.
As for Beako, I'm in the absolute dark about what has happened there exactly. Like... what her motives and goals were at that time.
I liked how they showed in an not so obvious way how the Belly-Hunter got into the Libary though, or at least that they didn't bother to explain it with words. It tells you even more about the situation and information she has available
But I still don't understand, or at least can't grasp the power of Beako... isn't she supposed to be *super* strong inside the Libary?
And Subaru and Otto's interaction was rather genuine. It's basically the first time Subaru got told that there is no need for something in return - you just do it because you want to, since they are friends.
Subaru struggled so hard to realize this himself and only started saying that he wants to help Emilia because he likes her and literally-every-single encounter (from episode 1 onwards) was about doing something for something in return - and Otto just comes around and says it so easily..
Subaru: "I'm helping you for my 1 good deed a day" or Emilia: "I'm helping you because I need information - yes I do - I'm not doing it for free!! I'm getting something out of it, you see?"
That scene was way more important than many others in my opinion even though it was so simple.
I didn't even realize this before.
I think this episode was extremely interesting.Gah. Was getting interesting last week and now we're back to being uninteresting. It's the curse of this series when he gets into a particularly long loop.
But I think you meant it more along the lines of "nothing got resolved, and we got even more mysteries"?

Mother.
Amen. Characters in this show should really start talking to each other instead of killing/kidnapping as the first resort.
Peace.
While I ended up liking the Otto-friendship scene a lot, it was REALLY confusing and I could see it being "fake" at the end. After all, we see a scene where Garf threatens Otto to not tell anyone "or else ...", and then hard cut to next scene and Otto somehow knew EXACTLY where Subaru was kept (he only saw in which direction Subaru and Garf went, right?) and frees him. I REALLY hope Otto is being genuine here, I really do. But this anime loves to fuck over Subaru and I can easily imagine the scene of despair when it's revealed that Otto actually acted under Garf's order ... I don't want that, though ...
If I had to put it to numbers, I'd say:
70% Beako actually cares about Subaru
30% Beako reminisced about her troubled mother
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Pretty sure this "Mother" refers to the witch.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
There was a scene at the end where Garf finds Subaru missing and hits the wall that contradicts this possibility.
Peace.
Then I still see a way to torture Subaru:
He reaches a situation where he "must" die again, and when he returns, all the friendship with Otto is gone again.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
That's probably going to happen, but at least Subaru already knows how Otto sees him.
Peace.

Fucking no, Subaru! Don't just be like "Well, as long as she's not a cultist..." Make him fucking explain the books! Information matters you dipshit!

I haven't felt so good for Subaru in some time now. Echidna is going to be quite a treasured ally, even if she's not particularly helpful from a "just watching" perspective.
I vaguely remember that one of the evil dudes who chopped up the post-whale-hunting-party claimed to be the Archbishop of Greed. In that case, all those so called Archbishops and Cultists don't have anything to do with direct orders from witches at all.
