In the 51st episode, “Theatrical Malice,” the first episode of the 3rd season, Natsuki Subaru (CV: Yusuke Kobayashi) and his friends visit the water gate city of Pristella. Familiar characters appear one after another, and a peaceful time passes.
However, towards the end of the story, while Subaru is in town, he suddenly hears a voice saying, “To everyone who is chatting and to those in a hurry, I apologize for the disturbance. Please allow me to borrow your time for just a moment.”
Looking in the direction of the voice, he sees a person up high, who introduces himself as Sirius Romanee-Conti, Archbishop of the Witch Cult’s Sin of Wrath. At first, Subaru is wary of Sirius (CV: Anzai Chika), but as he listens to her story, his attitude gradually changes…
When the crying boy Lusbell (voiced by Koichi Makoto) appears after being restrained by Sirius, Subaru and the others around him are not suspicious but rather excited. “Thank you Sirius!” they burst into enthusiastic applause.
Sirius shouted, “It was there after all! There was love! Let’s all applaud as if our hearts are united at this moment!” and dropped Rusbell from a high place. The moment Rusbell hit the ground, everyone around him, including Subaru, began to bleed profusely. When Subaru came to his senses, it seemed that time had been rewound by the power of “Return by Death”.
The shocking ending left many viewers shocked and commenting online, “That was really bad,” “I got goosebumps at the end,” and “Sirius is scary…” Fans of the series were full of praise, saying, “I love this creepiness, the way the story unfolds with uncertainty about what’s to come,” and “This is what Re:Zero is all about.”
The anime series “Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World” is based on the popular novel by MF Bunko J (original author: Nagatsuki Tappei, illustrations: Otsuka Shinichiro). It is a dark fantasy in which Subaru, who suddenly finds himself lost in another world, uses the ability “Return by Death” to rewind time after dying and confront a cruel fate.
The first season of the anime was broadcast in 2016, and it was a huge hit that led to the production of the second season and an OVA. The third season of the anime is scheduled to be broadcast in two parts, with the “Attack Arc” consisting of eight episodes starting on October 2, 2024, and the “Counterattack Arc” consisting of eight episodes starting on February 5, 2025.
