The long-awaited second season of "Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World" will air in July 2020. This wildly popular light novel series, which pioneered the isekai boom and began serialization in April 2012, has been running for eight years. Today, we'll introduce you to Garfiel, who plays a key role in the second season! He's sure to become one of your favorite characters.
Who is Garfiel?
This time, we'll be focusing on Garfiel Tinsel, an essential character for Emilia's camp! His blond hair stands on end, and his slanted eyes are just as malevolent as Subaru's (lol). He's a quarter beastman, and his canines are sharp. He's shorter than Subaru, but his attitude is bigger than anyone else's (lol). He'll be appearing in Season 2 (probably), so be sure to read this article to prepare.
Garfiel and Ram
Garfiel is the guardian of the "Cremaldi Sanctuary," a hidden village in Roswaal's territory. Since he meets Subaru and the others in Chapter 4, we expect him to appear in the middle of Season 2 rather than early on. Garfiel has been guarding the Sanctuary for many years, and of course he's acquainted with Rem and Ram. You could even say they're childhood friends! And Garfiel's greatest weakness is Ram. It's not that he has a secret about her, but rather that Garfiel is in love with Ram (lol). He blushes, fidgets, and turns completely pink! Please look forward to this as well!
Garfiel's Spring
Garfiel has a crush on Ram, but spring is coming! Mimi, the vice-commander of the Anastasia camp, begins to persistently court her! It starts with Mimi falling in love at first sight, but it's adorable how she clings to him regardless of whether he runs away or resists her. Eventually, Garfiel opens up, and the two become close. This development is also heartwarming, so be sure to look forward to it!
Garfiel's Combat Abilities
At first, he's an enemy of Subaru and his friends, but over time they become closer. He will play a vital role in Emilia's camp. While Garfiel may look like a 14-year-old boy, his combat abilities are quite impressive. He's capable of simultaneously fighting and defeating the later-appearing Melza the Harakiri and the Beastmaster Meili. However, he was defeated in his battle with Reinhard. So, to put it simply, you can think of him as roughly on the same level as the Witch's Cult's Sin Archbishop. Considering that, he's a very capable individual, someone you can trust!
Garfiel's Family
Garfiel once had a family: his older sister, his beautiful mother, and his demi-human father. His mother had a very difficult life, but she worked hard to raise her two children. Incidentally, his older sister is a maid named Frederica who works at Roswaal's mansion. We predict that he will also appear in season 2. His mother, who was thought to be dead, lost her memory in an accident and has forgotten about the two of them. Garfiel tries to call out to her, but realizes that she has already started a new family and has children. The Witch Cult's Archbishop of the Deadly Sins takes over Plastera, the town where his mother lives. When Garfiel learns of this, he sets out to rescue his current husband, who is in town! His portrayal of the brave, pure, and fragile 14-year-old boy is also one of his charms. You won't be able to watch without shedding tears as Garfiel suppresses his urge to jump at the prospect of his mother's happiness, wishing for her happiness when she was not around when she wanted to be spoiled.
Garfiel and Chuunibyou
Garfiel is one of the characters with a very distinctive way of speaking. He speaks with a mixture of quirks and unique proverbs. Most of them are nonexistent proverbs that Garfiel came up with himself, which really confuses those around him (lol). It may take some getting used to, but before you know it, you'll be hooked and wanting it. According to the author, since he's 14 years old, it's probably just normal chuunibyou (lol). It may also be an attempt to make Ram appear more intelligent. He also respects Subaru and Otto, and together they're known as the Three Idiots. When the three of them get together, they're a complete mess. Look forward to that!
A long-awaited addition for Garfiel fans!
Did you enjoy this? We've introduced you to Garfiel, the Guardian! from [Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World Season 2]!

If you watch it along with the story, you're sure to fall in love with Garfiel. Look forward to Garfiel's big success and look forward to the second season.
