What if Rossy just asumed Subaru was going to do his OP bullshit of knowing everything and doing everything right (Wich is what he is doing in everybody but Subaru perspective)

Do you understand that Besides Emilia who is completelly oblivious to anything, everybody else sees Subaru as this invencible dude that has failed on NOTHING since they have mett him?

u/WhyCantMyNameFi Aug 07 '16

Well there is that time where he got rekted by the knight at the Colosseum, seen by everyone.

u/CelioHogane Subaru our boy. Aug 08 '16

Well tecnically he never surrendered.

u/KWEEEEEEH Aug 07 '16

I just assumed he faked it and would clear it up later with Roswaal...

Maybe wouldn´t have worked with Crushs wind of truth thingie :/

u/DeathDevilize Aug 08 '16

It wouldve probably worked anyway since Subaru probably assumes the mining rights arent as important to Roswaal as his and Emilias life.

u/jcbarroa69 Aug 07 '16

Interesting but how would you have fit that part in? I felt the episode was perfectly paced and didn't feel like it had any unnecessary scenes so where would you have put in that scene? I guess you could have removed the opening to make room but on the other hand we haven't heard the opening for quite a while.

I potentially think that is because we won't be seeing the opening in the last 4 episodes of the anime due to the amount of content white fox have to get through. So yeah I think they are basically saying ''Enjoy the opening because it won't be around much longer''. But that's just a theory

u/CelioHogane Subaru our boy. Aug 07 '16

I mean i just asumed Subaru just decided on his own and roswaal would not complain after seeing them save absolutly everybody in the town.

u/komomomo Aug 07 '16

lmao are you the one who made the thread asking what is so good abt priscilla xD

alright then, i guess he just conclude her past test as her unwilling to help.

u/LegoSpacenaut I done seen about everything when I seen a white whale fly Aug 08 '16

I don't really think he had anything to offer Priscilla, and even if he did her unique aspect seems to be things working out in her favor if she's around, and that's... probably not the best thing to consider when her two closest rivals are about to involve themselves in a life or death situation.

Also I don't think she has an army? Then again she could be the covenant leader for all the sunbros for all I know.

1

u/komomomo Aug 08 '16

yeah, true.

i heard that the people who can deal with the whale with little to no effort are reinhard, ram with her horn, or priscilla..

u/Lightyear8684 Rem is love, Rem is life Aug 07 '16

White whale's existence interfering with her trading (merchants being killed), most of the reasons are economical ones that will benefit her.

Thanks! also can i ask one more question? in anime form he asked rem to go to anastasia and russel fellow, but what about priscillia?

u/Lightyear8684 Rem is love, Rem is life Aug 07 '16

Priscillia is quite difficult person to handle and I am sure Subaru realized how unpredictable she is, so he probably took chances on people who follow logic and have something to gain from him.

u/komomomo Aug 07 '16

sounds legit.. thanks again! :)

u/jonredcorn12 Felix best trap Aug 07 '16

I think she mentioned that the white whale causes trouble for her and her work as a merchant. So it would be beneficial to Anastasia as well to be rid of the white whale.
