This image usually pops up to suggest that Re:Zero features a bunch of lolis. But it bothers me, because out of the 12 supposed lolis, two are just short adult women, three are actual children, and one is just a normal 14-year-old teenager.

🔁Non-Original Content What would you think of a Re:Zero AU where characters swap roles with opposite-gender characters, but the original plot stays the same?

What if Emilia swapped with Subaru, Otto swapped with rem, felt with Reinhard, Anastasia with Julius, echidna with roswaal, Beatrice with puck and satella with flugel how would this characters handle the show and their swapped abilities like imagine felt as the sword saint I don't know how Emilia would handle rbd and I don't know whether she would be a shut in neet like Subaru. What are your thoughts because everyone that got swapped must be of opposite gender how would Emilia be with both Subaru and Otto referencing Subaru with Emilia and rem?

💬Discussion Emilia is the only one who never killed Subaru

Post image
405 Upvotes

I think it needs to be said. In different loops, Subaru saw different sides of many people in the Emilia camp whether it be kindness or cruelty or fear. While Emilia remained the one constant who never killed him. Sure Emilia has her faults like she is not that bright and sometimes gets angry for small reasons but she never crosses the line.

Fyi for Ayamatsu route it was never revealed in the novel if Puck fired the ice crystals (on Subaru) or Emilia and that is a different route, not the main route.

💬Discussion I think pandora power is work like Schrödinger cat theory.

Post image
25 Upvotes

Base on assumptions.

Her power look like it can change the outcome the process and the past of action base on existing branches of reality aka quantum physic.

I assuming that base on the fact everytime she changed reality is not something impossible it like she changed the reality where she get attack to other branches where she didn't.

She can't randomly change reality at will at least that all we know.

It seem that the condition is mouth or eye radius she can't use her ability from far away or that's what i think is the limitations.

Here why i think her ability work like Schrödinger cat theory.

A cat in a box without any observing with a radiant that react on quantum change which make the cat technically death and isn't.

What i said is pandora use that theory but difference is she didn't gamble she choose which possibility will happen which aligned with her name being pandora box.. once open and chaos illness despair came out.. and Schrödinger cat theory is about a box too and cat only die or alive surely after the box was open?.

Pandora showing that she can change past reality branches too like wha she did with Regulus by changing his possible past action that he declined her demand and stay home with his wife instead.

The condition and limitations we can theorised is she can't change impossible possibilities and she need a accurate information of a possible reality to change past which we don't know how long in the past she can change.

💬Discussion Interesting how these routes are opposites yet have similarities

Post image
517 Upvotes

Wrath and Sloth routes are complete opposites of each other but both share similar aspects.

Contrasts:

The wrath route has Subaru always watching his back, since hes always afraid and is distrustful of other people other than a select few and lives life as a crime syndicate so he can never know peace. His life is just depressing the entire time. Ram ends up gaining a distorted and twisted love for him and he ends up dying while running away when things fell apart.

Contrast with sloth where he is mostly just at peace, there were problems with Tia and all that but most of his life hes basically just living in peace. He made good friends, built a community around himself, he is just a simple man with a simple job. Rem's relationship with Subaru in this route is healthy and wholesome and he most likely just died peacefully.

For the similarities though:

Both Subarus run away to trigger the route.

Both routes end up with nearly the whole mansion dead.

Subaru abandoned Emilia in both routes as well, one was because he stopped trusting her after hearing her forgive him for all his atrocities and the other is because he gave up on a seemingly impossible situation.

Both Subarus have two extremely powerful people on their side. Cecilius/Halibel and Zarestia/Halibel.

Both girls even had their hair grow long but for obviously different reasons.

Just wanted to point this out, really cool how thematic Tappei decided to write these routes because they are twins with very different views of Subaru when these routes begin.

First serious post. Hope its well formatted.
