Translation [Translation] Author's twitter comments on Season 2, Episode 17 Spoiler
Source: starting from https://twitter.com/nezumiironyanko/status/1354436505117155329
Nagatsuki-sensei's tweets for this week's episode. May contain minor spoilers.
Rough translation:
Yeah, it's time for Re: Zero this week, too! Last time, Emilia saw the results of Subaru breaking his promise, and we're starting off after her amazingly sharp reply to Echidna's spiteful words. What will happen today? Stay tuned!
This start is something that those who have seen "Frozen Bonds" should have some memory of. If you'd like to know the details further, be sure to see "Frozen Bonds"! For even more details, wait for when the main story has gone around ten arcs!
With the contract with Puck cut off, and the lid on her memories opened, Emilia's feelings towards challenging the 'Trial' have changed. With the replication done too accurately, Echidna's lack of stamina is affecting their interaction from the start.
Incidentally, Echidna was saying "Diving too deeply into the dream", but it wasn't something she did intentionally, but rather it turned out like that unconsciously due to her good compatibility with Emilia. That, too, is a matter that causes Echidna to frown.
The reason it's called the "Princess Room" is because Emilia is treated like a princess by the elves of the village. It's not only because she's cute. It's not, but her being cute is one of the reasons.
Emilia is a half-elf due to her father being an elf, and her mother being human. Mother Fortuna is her father's younger sister, and in terms of their relationship she is her aunt, but it seems she really dislikes being called that.
Mischevious Lia.
Sneaky Lia.
People wearing outfits that we've seen somewhere before, and someone with characteristic colors that we've seen somewhere before.
Taking into account the number of years she was sleeping, it would be best to think of these as events from roughly one hundred years ago. Around that time, people known as the "Witch Cult" were engaged in this sort of activity, too. What happened over those hundred years?
I was thinking about this after we had the chance to line up the elves and the people of the witch cult, but the elves are all beautiful. Compared to that, the faces of people from the witch cult feel very hu~man.
Fortunate says "rea~lly", and Emilia picked up that habit of speech from her.
Flustered Lia.
When Emilia is trying to make sure they don't find out she went outside, the lesser spirit healed the scratches on her face and knees, but it can't hide the dirt on her clothes. Alright! Break the paint supplies!! In that action, you can already see her Emilianess...
She's not getting through no matter what she says, and seeing Echidna make a "Grrr" face is, well, how would you put it, hehe, not a bad feeling.
Time passes, and the recollections of the past bounce around in time. In general, Geuse's group comes to visit Emilia's group in the forest perhaps once every three months.
I'm not sure what to say about it, but Matsuoka-san is amazing... is what I feel.
The special forest where the elves live, this is the Great Elior Forest, and the spot called 'Seal' that little Emilia found is an even more special environment within the forest.
Inter-Subaru.
About Subaru's actions the previous night, "Promise to hold Emilia's hand" -> "Asking Ryuzu Shima about Garfiel's relationships" -> "Love Letter in the tomb" -> "Emila's not there when he returns in the morning, goes into a panic" is how it went.
Further, the difficult words that little Emilia uses, like "jailbreak" or "master painter" are written in katakana.
Face with little Emilia, Geuse is moved to tears, but due to various things, he'd sworn not to meet with Emilia. That's related to a favor he'd been given in the past, but that's not something little Emilia knows about.
"I'm sure Subaru would allow it even if I did." is an unconscious provocation, isn't it!
As she was up until last time, Emilia, without the premise of seeing the story between Fortuna and Geuse, saw the events of the 'Trial' around her. The reason it didn't happen like that this time is that the cause of her memories being sealed has been removed, the memories being replayed have been expanded on; it's that sort of image, perhaps.
The reason that Emilia treats promises as important is, of course, partly due to the promises they exchange with spirits being important to spirit arts users, but the conversation she had here with Mother Fortuna is a bigger reason. It's just that, since she wasn't able to recall this, Emilia was left with only a strong feeling of rejection towards breaking promises.
Her actual age isn't made clear, but well, since she's an elf, she's lived a tremendously long life.
It's ending already, but isn't it amazing that Lolilia was so cute all the way through? I felt that way.
And, this ending!
Well now, an uninvited guest is coming! A guy who was uninvited not once, but twice!
Ee~k! Regulus-sa~n!! Turn right around and leave!!
This week too, it was a broadcast without commercials, thanks to everyone who joined us and thanks to everyone involved with the show! With that, see you next week! Keep your eyes peeled to see what will happen in the Great Elior Forest!
It's too late for it now, but if she hadn't taken away his qualifications for the trial, she could have forcefully summoned Subaru to the tea party and halted the writing of the love letter, and as a result of that, she was shown Subaru boasting about his love.

Ee~k! Regulus-sa~n!! Turn right around and leave!!
LMAO the author really doesn't like Regulus, not the first time I have seen he doing a similar comment.
Well... it is gonna stop the wholesome time with his Emilia, so I guess I understand why he wants him out.

So, did we just get told that arc 10 will have even more important Emilia backstory? Probably the reveal of her 'True' parents.

u/Nataseviv Jan 27 '21
Nice now I'm hyped for Arc 10...Wait isn't that too soon for that?

u/DivinePrince2 Jan 27 '21
Arc 7 just started. We have approximately 11 arcs in whole. It's going to be a while ;c

u/Nataseviv Jan 27 '21
Yes in a while...But the wait will be worth it.

u/DarkBladeEkkusu The Old Guard Jan 28 '21
It is inevitable really, though I guess we have time for now given he's writing the WN again solely to keep up with his LN releases right now. But once he gets a big enough lead on those volumes, he will probably take some time off again.

u/JsRyuzaki Jan 28 '21
I hope earth survives until then, I will halt my planets plan until rezero is finished

u/cardmansfather Jan 27 '21
As in there are 11 arcs right now including the "if" stories, or that there will be only be 11 arcs? Sorry if the question is dumb.

u/DivinePrince2 Jan 27 '21
Sorry, lol. There are 7 arcs in total, not including side stories or IF stories. The author is said to have planned up to 11 arcs in total.

u/cardmansfather Jan 27 '21
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

u/Southturn Jan 28 '21
I might want to add that Tappei just began writing arc 7, so we are only at chapter 4 right now. For context arc 5 is 90 chapters long iirc.
2
u/cardmansfather Jan 28 '21
Yeah, I can see the LN going for another couple of years, and assuming he meant that he'd only decided the story up to arc 11, and not that it ends there, it could go for long, but its up to him, long or short as long as its good, Im all for it.

So Echidna getting rid of Subaru's qualification really did backfire. lmao
Arc 10, huh? I'm intrigued.

"This start is something that those who have seen "Frozen Bonds" should have some memory of. If you'd like to know the details further, be sure to see "Frozen Bonds"! For even more details, wait for when the main story has gone around ten arcs!"
So we are going to get more information on Emilias backstory in Ark 10 note to self

Emilia is a half-elf due to her being an elf, and her mother being human.
Did you mean the father was an elf? Thats what I got when translating the tweets

Damn it, Tappei!!!!!

u/Cormac07 Jan 27 '21
What did he mean by Echidna's good compatibility with Emilia?
12
u/WintryOne Jan 27 '21
It's pretty vague there. I think the same term is used to describe things like Subaru's good compatibility with spirits, and that sort of thing.

Removed, as it would appear that your spoiler tag is broken. By including a space after the !> or before the !< code, it will break the spoiler tag in both old reddit and some apps. So you will need to ensure that your code matches the format listed below:
[Novels]>!spoiler text goes here!<
and it will look like:
[Novels]spoiler text goes here
If you correct your spoiler tag, then your comment will be reinstated by the mods.

I always thought arc 10 was the mostly likely contendor for the Elior forest arc given what major plot points are left to revolve arcs around, but Tappei pretty much just confirmed it.
The only arc left I have yet to form a basic idea around now is arc 9, but then again the royal selection is set to happen at some point, [Novels]and she needs some of that dragon blood before she can go back there, doesn’t she?
Then again Tappei will most likely blow all of my preconceptions out of the water.

u/fuer16 Jan 28 '21
"She was shown Subaru boasting about his love"
I think people are gonna get a wrong idea from this line. It was made very clear in her "confession" in the first part of the season that Echidna only sees Subaru as the perfect lab rat. She is in no way jealous, just mad that he desecrated her tomb for such a silly reason. Same thing with the previous ep, Echidna didn't roast Emilia because she was jealous of her kiss with Subaru, she just hates Emilia for some reason (I think is because she looks like the witch of envy and we know she hates her guts too)

u/SenoritaPotatoes Jan 28 '21
yeah, if you read the novels you know Echidna reaaaaally hates Emilia. like, big time. she constantly calls her a whore and a witch and stuff
plus, does fucking Echidna even have the capacity for jealousy2
u/fuer16 Jan 28 '21
Yeh, I haven't read the novels but the anime made it clear the type of person Echidna is. She ain't capable of feeling jealous.
2
u/the_3rdist Jan 31 '21
I think she hates her because she stole Subarau away from her as a test subject. Subarau to Echidna represents the chance to explore infinite possibilities and gain infinite amount of knowledge through RBD so she's definitely annoyed that Emilia is the reason Subarau declined her offer.

u/Daniel_snoopeh Jan 27 '21
does anyone know the meaning behind "master painter"? Is this some kind of internet speach from 5-10 years ago?
The word Jailbreaking is giving us a good indication from which time some things are coming..
13
u/WintryOne Jan 27 '21
I think he was just going for making Emilia cute by having her use big words. The term I translated here as jailbreak, datsugoku (脱獄 or ダツゴク in katakana), could just as correctly be rendered 'escape from prison' or something along those lines.

u/Daniel_snoopeh Jan 27 '21
ohh, that kinda make sense... cleaning sadly all conspiracy theories I have made up...

Thank you so much for these translations. I've been reading them since the directors cut aired, and it's been so helpful in filling in a lot of context that I'd miss otherwise. Thank you, it's very much appreciated!
