Who's Ready for More Re: Zero Madness? Catching You Up Fast!

Re:Zero fans, buckle up because Season 3 is just around the corner! But before we dive into the chaos that’s about to unfold, let’s recap where we left off. And don’t worry—I’m not going to overload you with every tiny detail; I’m here for the juicy highlights!

Subaru's journey has been one hell of a rollercoaster—full of death, despair, more death, and... a really awkward love triangle (Team Rem or Team Emilia, anyone?). With that said, here’s a speedy reminder of the big things you need to know before we get back into the fray!

Season 1 – Subaru’s Messy Start and the "I Die, You Die" Power

Season 1 was a wild intro to the world of Subaru Natsuki, a guy who suddenly found himself in a fantasy world with a terrible ability—Return by Death. Basically, Subaru gets killed (like a lot) and resets to an earlier point in time. But here’s the kicker: only he remembers what happened.

  • Subaru meets Emilia, the sweet half-elf heroine, and gets tangled up in her quest to win the royal selection.
  • He befriends Rem (our favorite blue-haired waifu) and Ram while working at Roswaal's mansion.
  • Things escalate as he fights off mabeasts, gets tangled with a creepy Witch Cult, and defeats Sloth-crazed Petelgeuse.
  • Oh, and Rem? Yeah, she gets erased from everyone’s memories because of Gluttony, breaking our hearts in the process.

By the end of Season 1, Subaru finally protects everyone (for now) and becomes Emilia’s knight. Good for him—too bad Rem’s love confession went completely unacknowledged (ugh, classic Subaru).

Season 2 – Sanctuary, Witches, and Subaru Getting Too Close to Emilia

Season 2 was intense. Subaru's journey takes him to Sanctuary, where the action focuses on half-bloods being trapped by a mysterious barrier. And, of course, more “Return by Death” drama—because why not?

  • Subaru meets Echidna (aka the Witch of Greed), who’s a little too obsessed with him, and she sets up all these crazy trials.
  • Emilia has to overcome her trauma by passing these trials, which means facing her past with the help of Subaru (finally, a bit of character growth for her!).
  • Meanwhile, Subaru’s got his hands full, with the mansion under attack by Elsa (yikes), saving Sanctuary, and even getting a spirit contract with Beatrice (this guy never catches a break).

One of the big highlights was Subaru helping Emilia deal with her baggage—Puck’s contract with her is broken, and she gets back her memories. All this while fighting the Great Rabbit (adorable, but terrifying), Subaru seals the deal by becoming Emilia’s official knight (again), but the whole Rem situation is still lurking in the background.

What About That Love Triangle? Rem, Emilia, and Subaru's Complicated Romance

Okay, let's get real for a sec. The Rem, Emilia, and Subaru triangle is the real soap opera we didn’t ask for but got way too invested in.

  • Emilia: Subaru’s shiny, half-elf princess—kind, slightly clueless, and completely unaware of how much Subaru worships her. Their romance is awkward at best, and let’s face it, she’s super focused on her royal duties.
  • Rem: Our precious blue-haired oni girl who, quite literally, gave Subaru her heart! Her love for him is deep and sincere, but she got friend-zoned so hard it hurt. Still, she fights for him despite her memories being wiped.

So, who will Subaru choose in the end? We’re still waiting for him to make up his mind, but come on, Rem deserves better!

Prepare for the Next Loopy Adventure!

With so much chaos, romance, and Return by Death drama, Season 3 is set to bring even more madness. Subaru still has to deal with the fallout from Sanctuary, the Witch Cult, and whatever new enemies lie ahead. Plus, we can’t wait to see if his complicated love life gets any more, well, complicated.

Are you excited? We are too! And don’t forget, if you’re a hardcore Re: Zero fan, check out our Rem figure and grab yours now to celebrate the upcoming season.
