My guess is that the sect would be able to use similar powers or maybe just the Archbishop. But that's just me speculating...I could be entirely wrong and probably have Ram asking Subaru about Rem the next time they talk...or Subaru bringing up Rem in the conversation and see how she responds. Doubt there's a second whale...also this being the case would be a perfect way to introduce other Sin sects to end the season & give hype to the next one. What's your take on this? Seeing how the author has been shaping up the story, it would be a nice twist...and we all know he loves to be a sadist to his audience with his grim-like twists. Lmao! EDIT: Another thing that does make think this is the case from one of my previous 'deleted' posts...is the 'Blank Letter', I'm highly suspicious about the letter being 'blank' in the first place...Subaru was confused when they brought it up, and if he didn't write it...then whoever wrote it, should have had the same amount of intelligence as Julius & the others about sending a 'Blank Letter' & it equating to a declaration of 'War'...too many coincidences that it makes me feel the power to erase someone's existence as well as their belongings and/or anything that was influenced by them, which might be Gluttony's power is involved in this. Unless a traitor is behind the scenes and swapped the letters for a blank one...hmm. I think I'll stick with my erasing theory for now, seems pretty tangible atm and far more interesting of a plot device/twist than a mere traitor switching letters to cause chaos between both groups.

Can't awnser you're speculations since I already know what's going to happen, just wanted to know how you made the connection between that and Rem. As far as anime has shown only the White Whale has that power and unless it suddenly resurrected with half it's body, she should be on a convoy back to the capital. You're theories definitely aren't impossible but they don't mesh well with what we know at the moment.

Anyways, read my last edit to my previous post about the blank letter. Assuming there's only one whale...pretty much how the Whale was built up to be this entity that has terrorized the Kingdom for 400 years, makes me think there's only one...you would think they would mention about there being several. Seeing how its split parts disappeared when the main body died makes me think no part of it lived...it's like they were Naruto's Shadow Clones or Piccolo's Dividing body technique...unless you can resurrect people/animals/mabeasts in this world...another way would just be for someone to create another mabeast whale, although it was told that mabeasts and/or the Whale were the witch's creation. So my guess is that there's no 2nd whale...but the connection I'm making Puck/Pack referring it as Gluttony makes me think that if its abilities are being used to affect current events post-the whale being dead...then it has to be the Gluttony sect of the Witch Cult that can use the same powers as the whale...or similar powers. Well not like it matters...because if Subaru did die at the end of the episode, then he's going to go back in time...and we don't even know how far back his checkpoint is, could be a new one where it's post-killing the whale or the old one before they killed the whale...I want to be positive about this, so I think the checkpoint will be right after the Whale's death. Well all this conjecture I'm making will sort of matter if the events play out the same or in similar fashion. |

I wasn't suggesting anything that. I was saying that under the assumption that Ram knew Rem wasn't dead from their connection. She had already believed Subaru had betrayed them so how could she assume Rem was okay and not even ask about her? It just doesn't make sense.

That said, there was no option she had that didn't involve putting herself in danger. Diving into the middle of an army is hardly a walk in the park. Subaru earned her trust by not restraining her and simply explaining himself. There wasn't any reason not to believe him considering if he really had betrayed them he could have easily just killed her. Let me make myself clear. Ram believed Subaru to be a trader. If she assumed Rem was dead, she would have just as easily tried to kill Subaru instead of trying to abduct him. So that's unlikely to be the case here. If she assumed Rem was alive on account of their connection, Ram could only assume Rem was injured and/or imprisoned. In which case, she'd probably be angry and at least demanded to know what happened to her instead of asking for an explanation about the army.

I just want to reiterate that novel-based commentary on speculation is entirely forbidden, and speculation does not belong in this thread in the first place.
We have two threads for speculation: Speculation and Theories for First Time Anime Viewers Spoilers and Speculation for Experienced Re:Zero Readers Only Please use the appropriate thread depending on your situation (and if you are a novel reader, do not reply to speculation in the first-timers thread). Future speculation in this thread (or other episode threads) will be deleted.

I think I know why the letter is blank after reading through this thread. I had 2 options cross my mind after watching the episode but with the administrator mentioning deleting some posts in this thread, it just confirmed one of the 2 options that I thought about. No posting of what it could be here. I will share what I think is the reason via PM if anyone is curious. I may hit the target or be utterly wrong

Well, Subaru kinda dropped the ball by running away.
He could've asked Felis to knock him out, or for Puck to put him in a magical prison or something, then have them figure out some way to exorcise Betelgeuse. It seems to me like it wasn't a completely hopeless situation yet. He was lucky that Felis followed him and killed him. If Betelgeuse escaped with him...he could have been stuck for god knows how long.

He doesn't know that and we don't know that. The thing is that it happened so suddenly Subaru had little time to think. He couldn't understand what was happeing to his body and why but he knew was bad. So I think trying to get from everyone to avoid any coliteral was best he could do on short notice and panicked state.

Wait, what? I did not make any points until now :P I like the name of the guy you are quoting though
My thoughts exactly. The reason the fingers gets turned into Betlegeuse is probably different (or maybe they have all been made to hold the book) but the reason Subaru does is probably due to him holding the book. Quote:

It may not have anything to do with the book, and more to do with Subaru's high sensitivity/affinity to spirits (as Julius mentioned). Maybe people who are more sensitive or have a higher affinity to spirits are easier to possess ?

Crazy to think that's the only thing he needs to take over his body...so makes me think that there's either a trigger to mark his body for possession like touching the tome/gospel or a distance thing...where he needs to be as far away as possible from the last vessel (when killed) in order to not be possessed. It'll be too OP of an ability if he can just takeover anyone, no matter the distance at any point in time...without prerequisites. Hopefully we do find out about the limitations of said ability in this upcoming episode. Wonder what the trigger is...could be touching the Gospel, is going to be my current guess. The whole becoming a devout member of the cult if you receive one of these, and others being afraid of touching it or even looking at it based on said rumors...leads me to believe that might be the trigger after all. ...or no limitations or prerequisites, Subaru can always try to invoke Satella's presence through uttering the RbD line and see if Satella can expel his essence as he's trying to take over Subaru...maybe that's the only way if his abilities are THAT OP. Hmm... |

Hmm so for the next episode no preview until tomorrow, I wonder if WF will release a preview for the last episode but I have the feeling that wont be the case.
I don't want to see this series ending, hopefully WF can deliver a second season considering the BD's are always over 8.5k to 10k aprox. |
