Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- #80 just came out, and fans had plenty to say.
Honestly, seeing the checkpoint shift for the first time while Subaru is dealing with full-blown amnesia is peak suffering, but at least the plot is moving at a deliciously chaotic pace.
Commenter
Back from the Corridors of Memory and my guy's instantly hit with a million problems! Ley and Reid showing up, the Return by Death checkpoint shifting, Shaula turning into a scorpion, and Reid actually being Roy?! Way too much going on rn wtf
Commenter
So today's title "Five Obstacles" was literally: 1. Huge horde of mabeasts, 2. Gluttony's attack, 3. Reid coming down from the 2nd floor, 4. Scorpion ambushing us, 5. Satella whispering "I love you." The scorpion is def because someone broke the Tower rules like Subaru said, and now the other Gluttony bro Roy is… guess we gotta wait for next ep lol
Commenter
Re:Zero #80 – Emilia's memory gets eaten fighting Gluttony, but Subaru still remembers her. Reid drops in and just absolutely stomps Ley lmao. Subaru can sense everyone's positions in the tower, but a scorpion spawns and changes the checkpoint. Ram completely shuts Gluttony down before he can drop Rem's iconic line. Wait, so the scorpion is Shaula, and the remaining Gluttony Roy = Reid?!
Commenter
Is this Subaru's first actual Return by Death since the second half started?? Checkpoint updated, but since it happened right after losing his memories he's totally losing his mind. First time Emilia forgets him, and now Shaula turns into a giant bug?? Thought we cleared the worst of it after Gluttony got minced, but turns out Reid IS the Gluttony Sin Archbishop?!
Commenter
Gluttony eating Rem's legendary "From one… no, from zero" speech and twisting the words just a bit to genuinely piss everyone off is peak villain behavior. Tho tbh that might've been because Louis tossed her memories. Ram stepping up to throw hands in Subaru's place is so based tho 👍
Commenter
Re:Zero Ep. 80. Ngl I lowkey thought the second half of Season 4 was just gonna be a smooth sailing W like late S3, but nope, absolutely not. Still absolute cinema tho. Looks like we're headed for a wild finale. Gluttony is actually super entertaining as a villain tbh, kinda fw him.
Commenter
So THAT'S what Cor Leonis looks like from this angle. Loop's save point changes and we're right back to the mabeasts swarming in. Beatrice's worried voice was way too wholesome, and Subaru clinging to her like a baby gave off massive mom energy ngl
Commenter
Everyone else forgetting Emilia-tan, but Subaru holding onto the memories and going "I'll never forget" is peak gigachad behavior. And Emilia saying "The one person I wanted to remember me, did"??? Just kiss already, you two are obviously down bad
Commenter
My heart literally stopped when Ley tried to drop *that* line—the single most important quote in this whole damn show—only for a flying sword slash to instantly interrupt it. Pure evil, but honestly you gotta love the menace
Commenter
Wait hold up. So the one who beat up Ley was Reid… but the guy fighting Julius in Reid's room was Roy disguised as Reid?? Ain't no way Roy is gonna roleplay as his favorite character so hard that he starts treating Ley like garbage lmao
Commenter
No way the 5 obstacles in the title are just all the Gluttony variants, right? Ley, Louis, Reid, Roy… wait, we're missing one. Are we gonna get a "Riy" next?? What is this, Meili?! Nah no way lol
Commenter
The way "Subaru-kun is special y'know~" changed voices gave me chills (vocabulary left the chat). They're def gonna switch VAs for the eclipse right? Otherwise Kengo Kawanishi is gonna lose his voice irl lol (Sugita was just peak Sugita as always)
Commenter
RIGHT ON THAT CLIFFHANGER?! They def wanted to blue-ball us with that ending… but fr though, we've had back-to-back info dumps and now anime-onlies are probably having a full-blown panic attack trying to process all this??
Commenter
I'm getting crazy goosebumps and my brain is fried. Roy is the dude who was up on the Pristella roof, right? We left off with Julius stalling him, so what actually happened?? Wait, do I even know what's going on anymore??
Commenter
Episode done! Started right where we woke up from the Book of the Dead. Beatrice being worried was so cute. Kinda wish they kept the banter with Julius from the Web Novel tho
Commenter
The title dropped and my brain was completely empty, and then Julius's final bad news just left me going "???" like what does any of this even mean?! Guess I gotta go read the author's Q&A to understand this mess.
Commenter
Ep 80. Subaru's Authority and Shaula turning into a scorpion. These two gotta be linked somehow right?? And now the final boss is revealed. Bro how are we ever supposed to beat Yuli???
Commenter
The answer to why Gluttony was just chilling in a watchdog tower that's a massive pain in the ass to reach being "he was inside the tower the literal whole time" is honestly big brain writing ngl
Commenter
HUH?? What?? Roy can shapeshift?! And he keeps their powers too?! This is way too broken, wtf! Re:Zero is getting too complicated for my tiny brain…
Commenter
I'm completely lost lol. Heard something about Gluttony trying to possess Reid but Reid was just too built different and straight up rejected him or something?
Commenter
If Meili joins as support we might actually clutch this. They still have whatever "trap she set up" left to use
Commenter
Can someone explain that final Reid reveal without spoiling anything lol. Does Reid literally EQUAL Gluttony?? wtf
Commenter
Absolute peak character design wtf lmao
Commenter
Emilia: "You might not remember me, but THEY'RE the bad guys!" The way she said that was so adorable lmao
Commenter
Shaula?? Did Shaula turn into a scorpion?! Gluttony's dealt with, but the status quo just completely shattered again wtf
Commenter
The plot with the Gluttony Sin Archbishop is moving way too fast and I'm so hyped for next week ♪ But seriously, #FreeEmilia 😭
Commenter
ED song starts playing mid-scene and then THAT plot drop happens! Gotta wait another week again—the ED hits different now with all this dread
Commenter
Time for Meili to finally clutch up, I guess. Ain't no other way to deal with that massive wave of mabeasts
Commenter
A massive f***ing hammer?! Emilia-tan out here looking like an RPG guild receptionist or something?!
Commenter
Big thanks to the big sis for literally chopping up the guy trying to ruin that iconic scene.
Commenter
Bro your tongue is literally flailing out everywhere, how are you even talking right now wtfｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
Commenter
Subaru-san? Huh? Can he see? Is he seeing souls?? A scorpion!! Star mark 🌟
Commenter
Julius being genuinely happy that Subaru finally woke up is so wholesome…! And here comes the OP!
Commenter
Even when you Return by Death and are on the verge of total despair, Rem's words and Beatrice's presence are just the ultimate comfort ngl
Commenter
Plus, literally all of Emilia's action scenes went so hard. Julius and Ram were absolute units too
Commenter
What even is the deal with Shaula and Reid?? Gluttony lore always scrambles my brain fr
Commenter
Wait, did Emilia actually get eaten by Gluttony already?! 😭 She doesn't remember him?!
Commenter
Meili is actually so cute now. Crazy how I thought she was terrifying just a few arcs ago
Commenter
The Sin Archbishops are way too good at getting under everyone's skin, it's actually infuriating.
Commenter
Even if strangers are the ones fighting, you can't just ignore Gluttony running amok
Commenter
Gluttony's Authority does way more psychological damage to the people around the victim than the victim themselves fr
Commenter
How does it feel to get hit with your own exact move, punk
Commenter
Just finished Re:Zero and Reid is… wait, WHAT?? My brain flatlined right there
Commenter
Meili is a nightmare to fight, but she's lowkey super dependable when she's on your side
Commenter
Subaru actually remembering her has Emilia-tan overflowing with absolute joy
Commenter
Being able to steal memories AND use magic is way too OP. Bro's literally cheating
Commenter
REID, HERE?! There is literally NO ONE whose name I'm happier to hear right now!
Commenter
Bro's throwing hands in a place where you definitely shouldn't be throwing hands, so now a giant monster showed up lol
Commenter
Oh god, thought he was about to say some vile shit, but he somehow managed to dodge the bullet.
Commenter
Oh damn, he turned into literal minced meat! Wait, that's actually, properly gorey.
Commenter
Instead of digging into Reid's past with the Book of the Dead, Louis straight up sabotaged the whole thing
Commenter
Emilia's casual voice and extreme violence never fail to crack me up ngl
Commenter
Ah right, so for current Subaru, this is his first time ever meeting Reid. And Reid is currently facing Emilia—
Commenter
Just so you know Subaru, every time a save happens, your respawn point shifts too
Commenter
Having the checkpoint update right after losing all your memories would be the ultimate torture tho ngl lol
Commenter
Wait? Shaula?? I mean, they sometimes call scorpions Shaula, but—
Commenter
Having your name eaten just completely ruins any and all team synergy, what a pain in the ass…
Commenter
Bro just got unceremoniously squashed flat under a foot wwwwwwwwwwww
Commenter
The villains are out here meta-gaming and mocking lines from the spinoff anime now lmao
Commenter
Impressive how that profoundly emotional quote can instantly make me feel this physically sick to my stomach
Commenter
Emilia basically became a full-blown physical brawler starting from Season 3, didn't she
Commenter
Talk about when it rains, it pours. What are we even supposed to do against all this?!
Commenter
Even counterattacking isn't gonna be easy. Guess it's time for a few more trips to the death loop.
Commenter
Imagine telling the guy who literally murdered you that you love him, couldn't be me ww
Commenter
But trying to force your sensory perception to work gives you a migraine straight out of hell…
Commenter
OOOHHH so THAT'S what happened! That's why Louis was able to interfere!
Commenter
Wait—if he just says the name of the attack, he copies it on the spot?! What is this guy?!
Commenter
Meili-senpai is so damn cool! Sand worms down, let's goooo!
Commenter
SUGITA HAS ARRIVED ━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━!!!!
Commenter
Wait, wasn't Shaula just right there? Don't tell me that giant scorpion is—?!
Commenter
Even with amnesia, man's still got zero self-confidence wwwww
Commenter
"'The one person I wanted to remember me.'" Peak quote, I am in shambles.
Commenter
Is this actually the first time the checkpoint has ever changed on him?
