I really hope there's some actual plan for Otto and Subaru doesn't honestly expect him to solo Garfield...

I hope people are careful about spoilers because what you write in the spoiler tags aren't spoilered when you make a new post and scroll down before posting. I will remark that that scene really feels awkward, like it was supposed to have a sort of transition but it just did like a smash cut.

Like this is a perfect example, I have no idea if this is a spoiler for something that happens later, is a web novel spoiler for something that should have happened now but likely was cut, and so on. If it was a big spoiler and I scrolled down that would have sucked.

I have no idea what you mean by that because in the thread and the post new reply dialog spoiler tags behave the same, and unless you're mouseing over or clicking on them they are hidden.

That didn't use to be the case for me, maybe it depends on what ublocker I had running? It used to be the case for me that I could scroll down and the spoiler tags weren't active. But in any case the spoilers should really be tagged like Grouchio edited, because WN/production differences are one thing, don't wanna risk things that might inadvertently spoil future content.

Subaru's stupid 'bet' scene really detracted from the horrific climax of last season, it doesn't make any sense at all, that outcome is not what the antagonist wants, and worst of all it shows us that he's not really learning, improving himself, still acting like a cocky rear end in a top hat. I understand what sin he encompasses, but that was still really lame. Other than that, the ep was good. I dislike that we're kept in the dark as to Puck and Subaru's conversation, but that's forgivable. Iguess. More on the same character: It's pretty bad that Puck has been there all along in all past timelines but only showed up because Subaru faked wanting to choke out Emilia, I expected something important to be keeping him away, something to resolve. Emilia was in plenty of danger before and Puck just did... nothing, for seemingly no reason.

And Subaru does understand, and also part of what he said is that he is not going to change himself for Roswaal, and he is also going to win this loop. I think you misunderstood what happened.

It's understandable to be a bit confused. The translation was a little dodgy and the scene was cut down to the bare bones. Same thing happened in episode 11's beating scene. I've seen people questioning the exact terms of the bet and Roswell not asking some obvious questions. Both things that were laid out in the LN. The anime is much ambiguous about certain things which can be both a strength and a weakness.

I really lost the plot on Roswaal and Subaru's bet. He's betting he can save everyone and if he does Roswaal has to throw his book away? Why? What does Roswaal get by winning? The status quo?

The status quo? If Roswaal wins Subaru does what Roswaal wants him to do, which is to say, accept that he has to make sacrifices in order to win and proceed (in future lives) with that in mind. He has no way to enforce this but Roswaal is already explicitly suicidal, his only remaining investment in this timeline is breaking Subaru's spirit so he can rebuild him in his own mold, at which point (as far as Roswaal knows, keeping in mind he doesn't perfectly understand how RBD works) Subaru will voluntarily rewind time, take the necessary steps, and another version of Roswaal will be there to guide him. From his current perspective he basically has nothing to lose. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Jan 13, 2021 |

I guess I did miss the bet being Otto's plan, but there's just not a single thing previously-established Roswaal gets out of the bet, he's engineered such an insane situation that Subaru breaking down and making a sacrifice is the natural course of things. And yeah, Roswaal not asking any questions, just going "oh, I see, oh" about this bizarre confrontation really brings him down a notch from the horror we saw him as last time. I really, really liked the way Roswaal was handled at the end of last cour, dumbing him down to someone Subaru can just smugly-smugface at while saying "I'm going to unravel all your plots ever and there's nothing you can do!" ruins a bit of that for me. Sounded like a good time for Roswaal to beat the poo poo out of him again, maybe another encounter with The Great Rabbit and pseudo-possessed Emilia would set him on the 'right' path. Idk, I'll be really sad if Subaru friendship punches Roswaal and he just goes along with Subaru's ideas for the future. The Roswaal of a couple eps ago did not seem like a being that could remotely be reasoned with, and him hatching this horrific plot in the first place suggests that too. I guess I'd be remotely happy with him 'going along' with Subaru then engineering even more absurdly impossible plots against him. Infinitely nested trolley problems! Also, S2's been good, but I really miss the world building and the rest of the kingdom and its characters. I'll probably break and read the LNs once this finishes.

The way I saw it, Roswaal was just smiling and nodding and thinking "good loving luck, sucker." The only possible result of it, as far as he can tell, is that Subaru experiences an even more crushing despair for the next loop, so why not? What does he have to lose?

Soks posted:. I mean, that's all because puck is following roswaals orders though, right? roswaal clearly has some degree of control over puck, and was ordered to hide from Amelia (and later on to cover the land with magical snow) in order to make her feel even more alone presumably his connection to emilia is still in place even, he's just been weakened by breaking his contract with roswaal by talking to her

As the Kingdom's most powerful mage I doubt that would be hard.

I'm actually kind of disappointed by Otto's backstory. I feel like he was a much better character when he was just a regular-rear end merchant way out of his depth, and he really didn't need the bullshit divine superpower or anything to make him cool.

He's had the Divine super power the whole time. We knew he could talk with animals since last season. He did it several times this season. Plus Divine Protections are not rare. We know several people that have them.
