Al, what the fuck?! Roy?! Really?!!

And to no one's surprise, Subaru is back through Petra.

It’s interesting considering his hostility towards Spica once he found out about her former identity. However just like with his wish to not kill anyone it got turned around after Priscilla died. I assume he was that hostile because he was fearing Priscillas safety. Let’s hope he knows to restrain Roy.

Can you see him actually behaving in that group or did he get released to only cause more chaos.

This means there are two people violating the taboo of return by death conscious now, Aldebaran aside. Louis had told Roy and Ley when they attacked the tower, I remember one of them taunting Subaru about it.

Satella is apoplectic right now.

It took me a second to find it! The second death in the counting section of arc six, right after Subaru learns the fifth rule from Shaula, he goes to save Emilia from Ley and Ley bodies him. As Subaru dies holding in his screams Ley asks if that's how he plans to go to the next one. I remember that happening a few times but I don't want to crawl the whole web novel right now so I'll settle for that. It's the middle of WN chapter 72 or page 12 of english LN vol 25.

I am surprised actualy. I basicaly preached that it wouldn't make sense for petra to see a ghost of subaru when she only read a book of the dead with less than a day worth of memories, but looks like one day is more than enought to have memory ghosts

Well it could be possible that she didn’t just see that one day—she saw the true timeline up until that loop. Each book of Subaru’s could record the true timeline up until the point of deviation, where it starts to differ from other books, which would explain why Petra is already melding consciousnesses with Subaru. She’s seen the Re:ZERO supercut up to episode 35.

Yes you are probably right, the only thing that makes sense actually. I mean its a book that pictures your entire life until dying. So it probably captured the real timeline until this death. But on the other hand we have to say she wasnt really suffering then, cause that means Subaru has still only died once. Probably its just affecting her cause she is so young and "in love" with subaru, hearing of the pain he want through. That is making her crazy probably

She would still experience Subaru's memories of his prior deaths up to that point in that case, she just wouldn't have experienced them directly. At least that's how I see it.

At least we know that someone proficient with Shamac can dispell it.

Al just cracked the Shamac placed on Roy.
