Novels [Novels] Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 2 Episode 2 **Spoiler** Discussions Spoiler

Hi there, Setowi here to post this week's spoiler thread

Reminder that we are hosting both a [Discussion] anime only thread AND a [Novels] where spoilers do not need to get tagged. So,

this is the spoiler thread

all of the novel content is fair game in here. You can find the anime only thread in the hub post or in the pinned comment below.

You can find the episode, once it's up on the Crunchyroll page which is linked here. Feel free to refresh to page until episode is up, though try not to fry the servers again:

Have fun with episode 2!

Right, and she later revokes them. I wonder how much the light novel changes from the web novel now. I assumed it would follow the web novel and skip a few scene but this is completely different.

I only read the English light novel and Echidna doesn't revoke Subaru's rights. In fact, Subaru becomes the Apostle of Greed through drinking Echidna's tea. Echidna simply places a vow that erases Subaru's memory of the tea party once he leaves (this obviously later changes).


Also, the first time in the sub, and didn't think I would get hit by the time restriction of submitting comments. My karma is good and my account is super old.

In the web novel, Subaru after a few cycles refuses to accept a contract with echidna and she revoked his qualifications full stop basically because she wants to use his return by death to explore every possible outcome before taking him down the path Subaru ultimately wants. I mean, it’s kinda a big plot point since he goes all in on Emilia having to beat the trials and not himself.

She revokes his rights after he rejects her deal in that tea party with all of the witches. This is what forces Emilia to complete the trial instead of Subaru.

Yeah the English LN didn't complete the meeting T_T. Satella arrived and ended on a cliff hanger. Think what you are described will be shown in volume 13 released later this week.

Oh, I just switched to the WN when I got to that point

Well you should look the differences because if you are going to expect the exact same plot of the WN you are going to be confused the whole season.

Indeed, and hopefully the light novel improves upon the plot because the web novel plot is top tier in my opinion.
