I'm gonna argue that Subaru made the right choice, now hear me out

I'm gonna argue that Subaru made the right choice, now hear me out.

Emilia is a princess candidate, Rem is a maid/bodyguard. And Subaru, with his dying time travel powers can easily get Emilia ascend to power.

Now, why would he want to be the lover/husband or whatever of the ruler?

I believe it is because he wants to have the biggest possible capabilities to advance the living conditions of the people of Kindom of Lugnica.

With his upbringing in modern Japan he has a lot of knowledge in various subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and so on that might be completely foreign to even the best educated scholars of Lugnica.

With his knowledge he can bring the whole country forwards for centuries of development. He can eradicate diseases, he can improve agricultural practices, he might even be able to start the industrial revolution!

Oh, and also he might be able to genocide all those furry races that seem so prevalent on the streets.

I want to fuck Felt.

He made a choice, that's where he went wrong
Why choose? Why not take them both?

This

Who cares about reason. Rem is hot and I want to fuck her.

Stay at your containment thread dumbass

>With his upbringing in modern Japan he has a lot of knowledge in various subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and so on that might be completely foreign to even the best educated scholars of Lugnica.
He doesn't know any of that shit though. He's a fucking hikki NEET dropout.

>he's a hikki neet dropout
this isn't konosuba though

If it ever went public that the princess' lover/husband had another partners he could probably never show his face in public lest he be lynched, not to mention that the princess would loose face if she didn't execute him or something.

Yes but even a hikki NEET knows the basics on bacterial infections, steam engines, and so on.

Subaru is a hikki NEET as well. Prior to being isekai'd he had stopped going to school because autism.

>any of that mattering when healing magic and magic energy sources already exist

>implying magic is a widespread and cheap solution to energy and disease problems worldwide and not just reserved for the wealthy.

I doubt he even knows how to identify penicillin. You're giving a hikki NEET loser way too much credit.

So Toyota is gonna get killed and then comes back before he gets found out and now can avoid being found out

Subaru calm down your girlfriend is still sleeping.

He didn't pick Crusch, that's where he fucked up.

No. ESL-kun is in there shitting it up. Fuck that.

What if he dies so much later that when he goes back in time he has already been found out?

I'm inclined to agree, furry genocide would have been so much easier to accomplish with someone on your side who dresses like her.

He kills himself for good

Subaru has absolutely no chances for Crusch-sama.

I see no problem with this.

Is polygamy even acceptable in Lugicna?

Also Emilia is hotter

>You find out she's 13 years old in a 110 year old body

What do you classify this as?

Didn't he try to use his modern knowledge to get money and women?

He could just keep killing himself until he can say the absolutely right string of words to charm her or something.

I mean if you always have the chance to try something again the only thing determining your success is your determination.

>choice

Rem is a maid. Why not just go for the harem ending and have her as his mistress?

Again it would have to be a really well kept secret since the royal family, ie Emilia, has to maintain face.

Wouldn't that have repercussions? As that would look like a political attack trying to consume a faction through romantic ties. Or if Subaru were to defect the faction to solely be under the leadership of Crusch wouldn't that be on the grounds of being a traitor? He might have to sacrifice his head for that.

Because it hurts the Oni and Subaru doesn't like hurting the oni

>Wanting to go back to where that one Emiliafag lurks

No thanks

Well that would be one obstacle but like i said, with enough determination and the ability to endlessly try again, almost any obstacle can be overcome.

Its possible

How a man is able to charm a whole country and fend of political assassins, coups, and revolts may be another matter though

But knowing him having a silver tongue he might pull it off.

I thought she was 110 but her body is an 18 year olds and mentally she's 13

It's possible even for people with only one try but for people who have endless tries it is only a matter of time.

Wouldn't the Witch fuckery get too strong after enough respawns?

What would happen if he reaches a point where people list him for being a cultist or archbishop?

That's where the silver tongue comes in unless something possessed him after reaching that limit but its unlikely.

What's Emilia's tax policy?

Staplers are better.

Everyone is equal

So a flat 25% tax?

>genocide all those furry races

rip felix

Probably

He takes Rem and moves to another country, duh.

nothing like this will happen
sorry but subaru is a car not a person

Felix isn't furry though. Furry is like Ricardo

>Echidna: “That Witch of ENVY's the exception. I'm not pardoning her, or endeavouring for her. I have never, between the time I was alive, time I've been dead, and my glimpses of the MEMORIES OF THE WORLD, seen a being so unforgivable.”
>Subaru: “...That's not just coming from being killed. With that anger.”
>Echidna: “Death doesn't hold that much significance to me. When you consider that I'm here like this. Just, she did something I consider more unbearable than that. I believe every action out there is an effort taken to procure results, but... even so, I will absolutely never accept it.”

So what did the witch of envy do that Echidna found unforgivable? Why does Echidna hate her so much?

Well yeah but CIA controls cars so he's trying to get into a position of power so he can kill all enemies of the state, namely all the furry creatures.

Maybe she fucked Echidnas man? Idk, women are like that they don't forgive.

>People complain when protags don't make a choice
>People complain when protags make a choice
Authors can't win can they

No way to please everybody, someone will always bitch.

Choosing both is still making a choice, in this case the right choice

I can't blame him for wanting to take both of them.

Indeed, I do blame him for not acting on those feelings

This is a stupid point

While Subaru often makes idiotic decisions, he's not the kind of guy who chooses his partner purely out of convenience

Yeah we already know he's stupid

>choosing a partner out of convenience is stupid

Friendly reminder today is Anastasia's birthday

It's not.

No, by "everyone is equal" she basically means rich will get tax and the money will go to the poor. She is a filthy communist.

Why would he possibly want to genocide furry races?

Because hey, who wouldn't? Human race masterrace.

So yeah, the actual Re:Zero thread died when Satella appeared in the white mists of illusion. So I guess I'll just say a little as to what happened. It began to be swallowed up by the shadows that surrounded her. Painting the world in pitch black, if I recall correctly. Has the shadowy dress and everything. A forbidden existence.

He'd noticed that the fog reproduced people you knew, whether they were living or dead. But this isn't like that. This is a blasphemy to all things, transcending both life and death.

In rage, he tries to strike at it, but the strength goes out of him every time he tries. He tries to run, and falls down as the figure approaches, gently extending an arm to reach out to tenderly caress his head. Al starts to feel it'd be easier and more comfortable just to let it touch him. Then Priscilla stabs it before it reaches. He then gets really angry at her for some reason.

Afterwards, he's reassuring himself that it was a fake. No question about it. None at all.

So yeah, there's a fairly clear implication that it wasn't like the previous illusions.

>Actually wanting to become royalty
>EVER

Fuck that shit, you either lose control of your life to rule properly or give in to personal desire at the cost of the people. All the wealth only looks worthy if you're lucky and are born the youngest of 10+ siblings with no chance whatsoever of becoming first in line so they can afford to be lax in your education instead of controlling every minute of your day.

Fuck royalty and fuck monarchy in general, day of the guillotine fucking when?

Go away Felt.

what the fuck does it even mean, Al is one of Satella's crushes too?

I guess that's a heavy implication that he's one of the sage candidates then. It's weird how he doesn't emit any miasma though. Unless Rem ignored it when he got pissed?

royalty is just a different word for I N B R E E D I N G

He was a NEET for like a couple months at most. Basically no isekai protag is a hikki because they all end up outgoing.

You know the public hates the 'princess' you're talking about right? He'd be more likely to be lynched as the witch fucker than for adultery.

Doesn't have to be, royals throughout all of history have kept extra wives, mistresses, concubines and harems openly. We don't know how Lugnica thinks about this sort of thing.

Given the new information on her backstory its probably something weird like giving up or flipping out and destroying half the world. Probably has more to do with the reason behind some action rather than the action itself.

She warns Subaru to be careful around Al for no given reason, supposedly she was sniffing around shortly before, so I think he might and she was just keeping quiet about it.

In the Novel Rem said that he had a smell on him but she didn't want to cause an incident there

I suppose you haven't looked into the WN/LN at all? Because he totally does and is actively pursuing both. He just has to fix one of them first.

I get the impression that Subaru has stopped trying to get into Emilia's pants since the end of arc 4. It'd explain why their relationship couldn't develop at all even after the 1 year timeskip and why Subaru hesitates to reassure Emilia he loves two girls equally.

That's probably more to do with neither of them being ready. Not that memeflirting is a great indication of stuff, but he was still excited to go on a 'date' with her in arc 6. We'll see what he says when he unpotatoes potato.

Until Emilia is ready, Rem and Subaru gonna have a Rigel.

Rigel sperm died a long time ago.

Doesn't matter, it just gotta be a boy named Rigel.

Think about it, it would be pretty sad if Rem has a kid with a guy whose mind still always thinks about a different girl other than Rem. I think even if Subaru and Rem end up together, their relationship still wouldn't go as smoothly as that in the Rem If stories, unless Subaru can change his mindset entirely and stop thinking about the half-elf romantically.

It would be Vega sperm.

Its not always. I assume he'd probably be thinking about whoever he was balls deep inside of at the time. Although if he ever slips up and calls out Emilia's name during sex Rem would probably kill him.

>still always thinks about a different girl other than Rem
>their relationship still wouldn't go as smoothly as that in the Rem If stories
Their relationship wasn't smooth at all. Rem is more insecure in the AU than in the MU because of how their relationship started. Subaru forgot about Emilia quite fast as well once he was with Rem and the same gonna happen in the MU

>Subaru forgot about Emilia quite fast as well once he was with Rem and the same gonna happen in the MU
Probably not since, you know, Emilia isn't actually dead this time.

> Emilia isn't actually dead this time.
not yet

She might as well be considering the effort she takes in their relationship

Hey man, she wants to put in effort. Just you watch, she'll serenade him.

>neither of them being ready
what are the implications here? Why subaru that says at every occasion that he loves her isn't ready? Why does she say that she wants Subaru's affection but isn't ready? According to them they like ach other that way, yet in one year they didn't even go on a date, and while Emilia is socially inept because of her (lafk of) upbringing, Subaru is responsible for this stasis too. What is needed for them to be ready and this not being an excuse?

Also Emilia saying she'll fight for his affection is silly on her part. Why not doing something now instead of waiting for him to be enveloped in Oni tits and pussy?

For Subaru to get over his Katawa dick by waking up the potato of course.

Because Emilia isn't the one Subaru wants to marry and Emilia is just a retarded hard-to-get whore.

It doesn't make any sense to love 2 girls romantically in first place so you can assume that their are some Satella curse shenanigans going on.

So I've been more of the WN, and it's pretty much been revealed that Roswaal was the one who planned for Subaru and Emelia to meet so he'd fall in love with her and do everything he could to help her. Because Roswall knew Subaru would have powers.

So does this mean there really is some kind of enchantment or spell making Subaru thinking he's in love with Emelia? Because Roswall seemed to be counting on it quite a bit, almost as if he knew it would happen for sure. Also, Satella seems to have a power over Subaru's heart too, only he was aware of it happening when they first met.

I don't think so, or at least not as far as Roswaal is aware. I think he knew Subaru would go for Emilia because of the book, but not any particular mechanism. From there he tries to get him focused only on her starting in arc 4 to make Subaru more like himself and ensure Subaru will get Emilia on the throne. I don't think he would go through all this effort if he assumed there was some magical force keeping Subaru focused on Emilia.

As a weird side note to the above, in arc 4 Roswaal is trying to get Subaru focused on Emilia, and Emilia only, but previous to that he seems completely fine with Rem being a major distraction on that front. He even sort of encourages it and thinks the changes Rem is undergoing are good for her. It makes me think he had something sort of different in mind but can't remember what it is now.

I don't think that the gospel would make mention about RbD, just that he would need Subaru.

It doesn't mention RbD, Roswaal just logically deduces that Subaru has some means of redoing events because of what the gospel says. Its a logical outcome if you believe that the Gospel is telling the absolute truth yet you have someone who is clearly violating it.

Its funny because he could actually be wrong in his assumption there since the Gospel isn't infallible, but Subaru more or less confirmed it with his behavior so he doesn't have to worry about acting as if he was wrong.

best response to op

Op is a faggot
New bread this away

Their relationship really is a weird case. I mean, even if Emilia becomes more mature and both Subaru and Emilia act like a legit couple, I still feel very uneasy when looking at them. Perhaps its the result of all the memeflirting that has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Subaru only loves Emilia because she looks like Satella. Emilia a shit.
