Elephant Parade posted:maybe he had it in his pocket or something. we didn't see betty's book until literally this episode, so it wouldn't be a unique case ifor him to not immediately show it off Perhaps. However his demeanor is more in line with a archbishop of pride. Since he was incredibly offended when he was interrupted and not paid his proper respect.

I'm looking forward to our motley crew of Ram, Otto and Subaru taking on the world.

Elephant Parade posted:it's not like beetlejuice was particuparly slothful Maybe, but it doesn't seem like all of the vices necessarily line up smoothly with what our typical conception of them are. We know that greed is not about obtaining material wealth but rather knowledge despite our typical association with it being the former. So sloth could have been his disdain for knowledge, he didn't even know that he was the archbishop of sloth after all. Gluttony also doesn't seem to match up smoothly with our understanding of it usually. It of course usually is is associated with a unhealthy desire for food or pleasure, but in this case it's a overwhelming urge for names and experiences. The only thing we know for sure is that greed is associated with a desire to know everything which the man we met at the beginning of the season did not have any quirks which would indicate an association with that.

He totally did. He introduced himself as "Archbishop of the Witches Cult representing Sloth Betelgeuse Romanee-Conti." He instead of being Slolthful himself, seemed to dislike those that showed sloth and was incredibly diligent instead. Regulus instead stated he was content, but disliked having what he viewed as his rights being taken from him. "That's a violation of my right to speak one of my few possessions" Batankaitos seemed to represent his sin the most, but is not hungry for food.

I guess I misremembered Beetlejuice. Regulus shows none of the traits that I would expect someone who gets his witch factor from Echidna. Whereas Beatrice is very much like Echidna.

madmac posted:Otto is such a good boy. Subaru showed up out of the blue when Otto was at the end of his rope, giving him not only an out for his situation but also instantly treating him like a valuable and reliable asset, while playing the right notes to push him forward against his misgivings. Despite all the sass he and how it's been consistently putting him in danger, Otto understandably feels greatly appreciated; this complete stranger could just see right through him and find worth where he wasn't even sure there was any himself. Like Rem, a case of Subaru being Subaru and accidentally making a loyal friend out of a good person that just needed to be reached out to. Also now that it's happened once, it's good to see Subaru's foremost concern being the possibility of ending up stuck in timelines where he loses people close to him. He's mostly gotten over the idea of sacrificing himself (and he's even become a little too gung-ho about suicide) but having others suffer is something he won't abide.

I gotta say, after a reset Subaru was maybe the most competent and clear-headed ever, the boy's growing! But it's ReZero so obvs it went to poo poo anyway. Still, go Subaru!

Most people don't seem to notice Subaru's witch-scent, so it's pretty fair that he wasn't anticipating that to disrupt his loops again.

Annointed posted:WAIT SO Beatrice is part of the witch’s cult and let Elsa kill everyone, and let Elsa into her library so Elsa can kill Subaru. And made sure it was Elsa killing Subaru and not Subaru killing himself as it’s not part of the cult’s book’s prophecy. And now the village head and Garfield are trying to pull a gambit and get Emilia to succeed the trials by having Subaru kidnapped also cause Subaru is full of Witch Scent now. I assume because all the great spirits were created by satella, weren't they? Or at least that seemed implied in the movie. Err maybe not all... but the beast of the end was I believe, and Beatrice saw puck as kin and she is also a great spirit therefore? Edit edit: on further review it seems satella is never named, the only thing referred to is a witch. Tabletops fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Aug 20, 2020 |

Sazabi posted:I wonder how everyone knows exactly how the witch smells. Did she piss on half the world like a dog or cat marking their territory? I think spirits and (certain/all?)demi-humans can smell magic, and if they've had a run in with Satella/Cultists recall the scent, and react accordingly. Has Emilia ever commented on it, maybe she is too polite? On this episode given Beatrice's demeanor I interpreted it as she was acting on conditions of past contracts she'd made. Considering that when she made a contract with Suburu she ended up exploding her house, she wouldn't appear well versed in the finer points of contract bargaining.

To be fair I think this:Grouchio posted:
Was more than fine. Grouchio posted:I really, really, really want to answer all of your questions but that would delve into big arc spoilers. If any of you are antsy and need to know now, please PM me. But this is flying too close to the sun because it influences our understanding of the work and the information as to whether something is "important" or not. So Grouchio please do more of the former, and cut down on the latter, because the more genre savy or trope poisoned someone is, the more they can infer information you didn't intend from non-spoiler talk by someone who knows spoilers.

Ram has always been better than Rem. Rem is an insecure little crybaby, while Ram is the super cool confident woman with a good sense of humor who knows and accepts all of her own faults. Garfield has good taste/owns. MonsterEnvy posted:On her downsides she is attracted to people in clown makeup. what do you mean downsides?
