Re:ZERO Season 4 Episode 11 Review
What happens after Subaru gets confronted?
Subaru did not expect that he would be confronted by Ram. Thus, his natural reaction was to attack her, and she stopped that by activating a shield around him. What he further did not expect was the appearance of Emilia there as well. This kind of shifted something within him, and he finally reveals that he has lost his memories. At first, Ram refused to accept this excuse and tried to attack Subaru.
However, Emilia comes to his rescue, and Ram even attacks her when she tries to defend Subaru. When he finally wakes up, he again sees scribbles of him being there around the room. This leads him to believe that he might have done something to Ram and Emilia.
Who is the unexpected person who arrives to find Subaru?
Reid comes down from his space, signalling that he is allowed to travel within the tower. However, the reason he came down is that he wanted to fight against Julius. He then goes to challenge Julius, who was already tired because he was having his own share of fights. Thus, a battle begins between Julius and Reid, where Julius tells Subaru to take care of Anastasia.
What happens when Subaru finds Anastasia?
Anastasia becomes very wary of this new Subaru because she has already heard from Ram that this Subaru could be an impostor. Betty, however, decided to believe in him, and something happened later that also made Anastasia believe in the new Subaru. Out of nowhere, a spider attacks the group, and Subaru saves Anastasia. In another surprise attack, Betty most likely loses her life, and a gravely injured Anastasia is recovered by Subaru.
What was the psychological condition of Subaru here?
Meili’s ghost, which is most likely an imposter, tries to mess with Subaru’s head yet again. She constantly tells Subaru to do heinous things, and that only adds to the mental breakdown of our hero. She also tells Subaru to mortally hurt Anastasia when she was gravely injured. Meili tried to influence Subaru into committing this crime, but Subaru could not.
Does Subaru meet with Emilia?
Subaru was hounded by the Satella, who constantly confessed her love to him. Just when Subaru was about to lose his mind completely, Emilia came to his rescue. However, Subaru refuses to go with her because he just could not understand why a girl like her and others would have so much faith in him when he himself does not like his true self. This scene becomes one of the most crucial scenes ever, where Emilia discloses her affection to Subaru, and he finally realises just how his past self managed to stay strong. He did everything in his power to protect her because he, too, was in love with her.
What worked and what did not work?
This was one of the best episodes yet, largely because we got to witness a kind of revival within Subaru. Even though he reverted to his original, more cowardly self, he ultimately managed to rediscover who he was. I’m incredibly excited to see what he does next.
