"Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World," or "Re:ZERO" for short, has become a huge hit as an alternate-world fantasy story. The long-awaited second season of the anime has finally been confirmed! Before the second season begins, we've compiled a list of memorable scenes from the first season that will make you fall in love with the Re:ZERO cast even more.
Emilia's Special
No matter how many times he "Returns by Death," Subaru feels cornered and loses sight of who he is. Eventually, the strain takes its toll, causing him to vomit... However, Emilia doesn't miss this and calls Subaru.
Emilia gives Subaru something "special" as a gift. Upon receiving it, Subaru rests his head on Emilia's lap, and with the words "That must have been hard," his pain and fear begin to overflow.
This is a famous scene that conveys Emilia's kindness, as well as Subaru's pain and feelings for the Roswaal family. The background music at this time, sung by Emilia's voice actress, Takahashi Rie, is also very touching.
Rem's Tears
After Subaru is cursed by a magical beast, Subaru and Rem enter a forest inhabited by magical beasts. The two struggle with the overwhelming number of beasts, and as a result, Subaru is bitten by several of them while protecting Rem, nearly dying.
The morning after the incident is resolved, Rem tells Subaru about her guilt and inferiority complex toward Ram, as well as her own weaknesses. Subaru accepts her for who she is and says, "If you're weak, you can rely on others and live your life. Let's laugh and talk about the future." After this, Rem smiles through tears and replies, "You're acting like a demon," and her crying face is so adorable! It's such a memorable scene that it's amazing how Subaru didn't fall in love with her when she saw that face.
Rem's Feelings
Since the demon beast incident mentioned above, Rem has dedicated herself to Subaru. Even when attacked by the Witch's Cult's Sin Archbishop, Petelgeuse, she returns to him in a battered state. At that moment, every bone in Rem's body is broken by Betelgeuse's "invisible hand," but she still heads toward Subaru.
In Subaru's arms, she musters her last bit of strength, breaks the handcuffs that are binding him, and whispers, "Alive, I love you..." before dying. This is a memorable scene that will keep you glued to your seat, as it shows Rem's great love for Subaru, and how she continues to forge ahead without any hesitation, no matter how much pain or difficulty it causes her.
Rem's Hero
Every time Subaru "Returns by Death," he witnesses the brutal murder of loved ones, leaving him completely mentally ill and heartbroken. So, Subaru decides to run away from it all and asks Rem to come with him. According to Subaru, it was the proposal of a lifetime. Rem's response is so overflowing with love for Subaru that it's crazy.
Here are some of Rem's most famous quotes!
"Subaru is Rem's hero."
"Even if everyone in the world can no longer believe in Subaru, even if Subaru himself can no longer believe in himself, Rem will still believe in him."
"Rem loves Subaru." And so on. It's such a memorable scene that I think everyone will fall in love with Rem after watching episode 19.
Subaru's Special
The final episode of the first season of the anime. Subaru finally arrives at Emilia's side and confesses his feelings to her, but is caught in the explosion of a magic stone and loses consciousness. When Subaru wakes up, he finds Emilia resting her head on his lap.
Subaru tells Emilia that she has been given unpleasant "special treatment" because of her resemblance to the Witch of Envy, Satella, but that he wants to give her "special treatment" because he loves her. Emilia is moved to tears by these first-ever words. This is a touching scene, as Subaru's hard work finally pays off.
