is it me, or Subaru is still awfully ignorant about the Witches, the Archbishops and their cults?
and did Subaru and Emilia even explain to Frederica about what Gluttony did to Rem? Also, why didn't he ask Beatrice about that? maybe she doesn't have the cure but maybe some info? I mean, come on, perhaps at least ask around for myths/lores about the world? Isn't he even trying to save Rem? At some point it's not just ignorance but pure neglience EDIT: on that note, pls Subaru, even a dimwit like myself can suspect that Beatrice has some connection to the whole witch cult thing

Yeah, I'm thinking this "witch factor" awakens in random humans and turn them into witches. Still kind of weird no one ever mentions other witches though, so maybe she's a ghost since I'm pretty sure Subaru fainted like Emilia and is in some kind of spirit world.

Yeah I'm really interested in what made you think there was a connection prior to this episode. I just watched the director's cut before catching up on S2, I don't remember anything that implied that. Maybe the Witch Cult being able to attack and she not being able to protect the mansion.

But yeah the sourness of her mood and more interestingly to me, the fact she referred to Betelgeuse with a nickname as if their relationship was something intimate. Really interested to see where that goes as an anime-only viewer. |

I'm glad with episode 2 as it seems Subaru is now given a stronger characterization after being able to recover from what happened to Rem. Then again, the opening vid seems to hint this being the new aura of the season as he is seem walking past all his deaths.

episode 1:
Emilia arguing with a loli, she can be childish sometimes. xD Those two sin archbishops are too powerful.. The safest decision is what Feyris want, dissolve the alliance. I think Wil disagreeing with Feyris is influenced by the fact that he is greatful to Subaru for helping him have revenge on the whale. Crusch still choose the more dangerous path of still having an alliance with Emilia.. glad this show is back, and looking forward to next episode!

Actually, you're right, Subaru should have picked up on it. She wasn't exactly being subtle. Even if he had though, it's not like it would have changed anything, she is determined to keep her mouth shut (I think Betelgeuse's death really upset her).

I always find it interesting when characters who appear so overtly feminine and beautiful opt to refer to themselves using the more masculine "Boku." I guess that's just one of the many oddities that make up who Echidna is. She appears on the surface to be a very casual, flippant, and charming woman, with a dash of ditziness, but at times you can peer beneath the surface and see the darker underbelly of someone who the world would come to refer to as a Witch .
Hearing Echidna describe the other Witches, it sounded like most of them actually tried to benefit the world in some regard, albeit likely in a "we're above humanity so we can just do these impossible things we want to do" kind of way. I always kind of assumed they were this cabal of evil, but it sounds more complicated than that. The only exception seems to be Sloth, who wanted to sleep, Echidna who was greedy for knowledge at any cost, and Satella who killed them all . I love how Echidna offers Subaru the opportunity to finally explain everything to him, but he's all like "I don't have time for exposition, just get me back to Emilia." It's so brazen and kind of stupid that Echidna had no idea how to respond. I mean, I'm not sure she wouldn't have just given Subaru some half-truths that served her own benefit, but who walks away from a prime opportunity to finally understand what's going on ? Look, it's Bakug...I mean, Garfiel! No, seriously, it's like Nobuhiko Okamoto is basically playing Bakugo in a fantasy setting. Although I guess Garfiel is a little more reasonable to Subaru and company once he figures out why they're there than Bakugo would've been. And he's probably Frederica's brother right? The resemblance is uncanny . Ram! It was great to see her again, scathing comments towards Barusu as always. I can understand why Subaru is refraining from mentioning Rem to her yet, there's no easy way to explain that . Roswaal! It's been even longer since we last saw him, although he looks a little worse for wear. I wasn't expecting him to be closely connected to a Witch, let alone Echidna, but I guess it explains why Echidna had some control over Sanctuary. He did seem very insistent she be referred to by her name instead of as a Witch . So Sanctuary isn't so much a sanctuary, but a prison. That village looks almost as bad as Raphtalia's village in Shield Hero. How did it end up like that? Was it some kind of curse left over from Satella and Echidna? Why did Echidna even create this place in the first place ? Of course Emilia would go through the Trial for the sake of the villagers, and now they seem truly grateful for all that she's doing for them. I also love how mutually supportive she and Subaru are to each other now . Garfiel can't participate in the Trial? Does that mean he's not a half-breed ? The Trial seems like our next major breakpoint for Subaru, and Echidna has given him the ability to aid Emilia in completing it. It doesn't seem like it'll be so much a trial of death though, as it seems to test you more emotionally, as it sends Subaru (and presumably also Emilia?) to face their past and Subaru flashes back to being back home with his shirtless, muscle-bound, father . With all those figurines in his room...I guess Subaru always had a fetish for white-haired girls .

Subaru just leaving Echinda without asking for answers was quite the surprise to her, but she'll no doubt get more chances to see him. Maybe during that future encounter, Subaru will be willing to ask her about everything going on.
Looking at Subaru's room, it's no wonder he fell for Emilia so soon. In addition to everything else, he already had a thing for sliver haired girls.
