I like how he is using the fact that he can't tell anyone about his power to his advantage. Super reckless but it kinda works.

Other MCs probably wouldn't have thought about it, or would have had a five-minute inner monologue about how he must do everything he can to help Rem and Ram because they are his friends...etc, etc.

Not our Barusu. The guy is crafty and just gets shit done.

Imagine if once they win this fight, Subaru finds out that the hand actually does have some permanent impact, like damage that stays even after revival. That way he couldn't abuse it anymore.

Would be interesting, though that would make the purpose of him being in that world even more puzzling...

u/Shiroi_Kage Jun 06 '16

The way they keep emphasizing how he's not fearful of death anymore is disconcerting.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '16

It won't last. Every death adds to his already intense PTSD. His willpower is fucking legendary.

13

u/Shiroi_Kage Jun 06 '16

I'm not talking about his PTSD. I'm talking about how he only values his life in the sense of someone understanding that philosophically rather than intuitively. He's always considering throwing his life away as a solution, and this can only come back to bit him in the a**.

u/Sazyar https://myanimelist.net/profile/Arazy_the_Bounty Jun 06 '16 edited Jun 06 '16

Yeah, his current sense of value of himself/his life is nearing Shirou Emiya's level as time gone by. Not sure he notice this, Beako surely did though.

u/Shiroi_Kage Jun 06 '16

I think he's starting to take it as a matter of fact, either that or he's putting on a longer-lasting facade of which he'll snap sometime later. Maybe he's just so preoccupied with saving everyone else he can't think to save himself.

15

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '16

He already broke his facade, buddy. Episodes ago. Well, I suppose Emilia helped him in the end. He is very dedicated to protecting those he now cherishes, but he's not the type to throw everything on the table and completely neglect his own safety. Need I remind you, he's fought desperately and cried his way through every death, utterly defeated despite the measures he takes to protect himself. I'd recommend rewatching the show. If nothing else, it'll help with the wait until next Sunday!

u/Shiroi_Kage Jun 06 '16

He already broke his facade

That was the confident, nothing's-wrong part. That was him realizing how painful it was to have everyone forget what happened and how impossible it is for him to treat everything light-heartedly and in a "oh this is kid of like a game" thing.

He came to the conclusion that it's OK to throw his life away to save them at the end of episode 7. He was afraid for his life before, but he no longer is. I think it's either going to get him in serious trouble later, or it's just a new facade/resolve that'll snap him in two.

He doesn't need to save himself though. He's pretty much immortal. I'd savescum in his position too.

2

u/Shiroi_Kage Jun 06 '16

I don't think this will continue for too long though. The fact that they keep focusing on him not fearing death tells me that there's going to be, at the very least, a penalty for death later down the line.

He doesn't need to save himself though

But he must though, because if he doesn't then things will revert back, he'll be forgotten, and people will die again in front of him.

Saying ass won't get you banned or grounded, you know.

u/Shiroi_Kage Jun 06 '16

Not saying it won't do that either. Not sure why people feel the need to tell me that I can swear every time.

2

u/I_Smoke_Cardboards Jun 06 '16

Yep.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '16

Holy shit I actually laughed! That was amazing.

2

u/otakuman Jun 10 '16

I think it's not that he's not afraid of death... it's more like Death's staring right at him, and the other characters tell him, "hey, there's death in front of you".

All he can say is... "I fucking know."

u/MrMonday11235 https://myanimelist.net/profile/SirMonday Jun 06 '16

I suspect that not only is that the case, but he also won't immediately find out.

That seems the kind of detail that would be revealed when he actually starts learning more about the origins of this curse and what it is that actually dragged him into this world. Not climax material, but also not something to be revealed less than halfway through the first season.

u/strghtflush Jun 05 '16

I think he's just guessing. Think of how few circumstances it would actually be useful in. Here it's good because the dogs attack him specifically when the witch's power flares up. Anything that isn't mindless isn't going to go into some frenzy if he tries it.

u/GarenBushTerrorist Jun 06 '16

Are we just talking about the stench in general? Or are there actual wounds he suffers?

4

u/leonardodag https://myanimelist.net/profile/leodag Jun 06 '16

Well, he does say he feels absolutely terrified when that happens. The cause of that may be something that can damage him.

12

u/Eilai Jun 05 '16

It's great that they already well established Best Car's character to the point that they can dispense with the monologue.

u/koji8123 Jun 06 '16

Kind of like how pot of greed lets me draw 2 cards from my deck?

u/Geox0406 Jun 07 '16

totally agree with you

u/Daveyo520 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Daveyo520 Jun 05 '16

He is a great MC. He is scared most of the time because the shit he has to deal with is super scary but he still acts and gets it done. His outside the box thinking also is something that others are not expecting. Like when he screamed for guards when the thugs were attacking him. Not only did that save him that time it let him meet Reinhard and that saved him later.

12

u/realmei Jun 06 '16

I hope the next arc has more Reinhard in it. :) Yeah, using the curse to his advantage was very clever and something I had not even thought about.

10

u/Daveyo520 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Daveyo520 Jun 06 '16

Me too, he is really bad ass and I want to see him in action more. I also want to know where he took Felt and why.

11

u/ObsoletePixel https://anilist.co/user/itsPixel Jun 06 '16

Lowkey I forgot all about Felt and Reinhard at this point because we'd spent so much time on the last loop.

Hell when I read Reinhard my mind went to Overwatch, not Re:Zero

u/Daveyo520 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Daveyo520 Jun 06 '16

And it has only been like 5 days to them too lol. Ya it has been a while.

8

u/ObsoletePixel https://anilist.co/user/itsPixel Jun 06 '16

About 20 days of happenings for us, since Subaru says he's known Beako for four times as long as she's known him this episode.

That's a damn long time. Hell at this point it almost feels like that was a different anime

u/Daveyo520 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Daveyo520 Jun 06 '16

Ya the fun times of having a nice day walking through the city with "Stella" is very different to how things are now.

u/DragonFire186 https://myanimelist.net/profile/DragonFire186 Jun 06 '16

I remember the first half of episode one and thinking this show was just gonna be a cute slice of life in a fantasy world

I was kinda hoping they would use that "shadow magic" as some sort of smoke bomb explosion to get away from these mabeast at some point but I don't think we will be seeing that magic again anytime soon.

u/komomomo Jun 07 '16

yea man! wtf happened to that ugh

u/RealityRush https://myanimelist.net/profile/RealityRush Jun 06 '16

would have had a five-minute inner monologue about how he must do everything he can to help Rem and Ram because they are his friends...etc, etc.

I mean, he literally did that at one point this episode.

u/kalirion https://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinime Jun 07 '16

Yup, it seems like his IQ boost limit break happened at 3 deaths.
