Re: Zero takes this concept to the extreme by making Subaru go through the worst. This new twist in the fantasy genre gained huge popularity after the release of its first season. Now after months of delays, season 2 is finally airing. This means that a lot of questions will be answered as well.

10 Witch of Greed

The Witch of Greed is one of the nine witches, who were active 400 hundred years ago. They all represented some kind of sin. Witch of Envy, Satella, slaughtered 6 witches a long time ago. Well, the reason should be obvious by her name. She was jealous of them. The soul of the Witch of Greed resides in the Sanctuary.

She seems to know all the answers about Subaru's summoning. That's why she was able to make a fake reality with Subaru and his parents in it. If Subaru can somehow get her on his side, she can be a big help in finding the truth.

9 How Is A Checkpoint Set?

In another popular Isekai series - No Game No Life - The alternate world is a game, which has an end goal of playing a game with God. This seems to be the case with Re: Zero too. As the story, or witch's plan, executes accordingly. Checkpoints will be created throughout his journey.

Until now, Rem going to sleep and losing her memory is creating checkpoints. This means that the Witch of Jealousy is still pulling the strings, and Subaru is her puppet. He needs to get the help of someone liberated from the system to break out of this loop.

8 Where Are The Other Witch's Representatives?

In season 1, Subaru encountered the representative of Sloth. His witch factor was transferred over to Subaru. Now he has the authority of the representative of Sloth.

7 Emilia Or Rem

Rem vs Emilia, the competition is tough. Both have their special charm. If Emilia is cute then Rem also takes care of Subaru all the time. They are on equal footing in beauty and strength. So it's hard to decide.

But facing the bitter truth, Subaru won't be able to stay with any of them. One day, Subaru will go back to his reality and all of this will be just a dream. For him, all of this is a messy situation, where he ended up in the wrong place. He should not get too attached to things in this world because it'll be harder to say goodbye in the end.

6 Puck's True Form

During the siege of Witch's cult, after Emilia's death. Puck transforms into a giant beast. Why does he not transforms before Emilia dies? Well, it's in their contract. Puck won't show his true form until Emilia is dead.

Another reason might be air turning absolute zero. He can do more harm than good. Puck also says that Emilia is his daughter. Puck acts as her father because it is mentioned in their contract too. He might also know something about Subaru's summoning.

5 Beatrice's Backstory

Beatrice is one of the most mysterious characters. By the looks of it, she is quite powerful. She has a lot of knowledge too, thanks to the books she's always reading. So who is Beatrice and what are her motivations? Beatrice is an artificial spirit created by Witch of Greed some 400 years ago. The Witch guided her to wait for " That Person" in that library.

Roswaal acts like a guardian for Emilia. He is sponsoring Emilia in her run as the next queen. Roswaal may be placing his bets on Emilia as the next queen so he can come in power too. Also, where was he when the mansion was under attack? He was stuck in the Sanctuary during the witch's cult attack.

It is yet to be explained what he desired from the Sanctuary. Most probably, he was there to meet the Witch of Greed. His actions indicate that he is a suspicious character.

3 Why Is Subaru Weak?

Every Isekai builds up the main character from a loser into a tough hero. But that's not the case with Re: Zero. The writer has decided to keep him a loser here too. Subaru himself is not strong, but he always manages to win a fight with the help of others. It's the main theme of this anime.

The shock factor of Re: Zero is through the roof. Every 2 episodes come a moment where the fans can't believe what just happened. He won't gain any special ability in the future, either. He has to manage with his little strength.

2 Why Does Emilia Have A Fake Name?

In the very first episode, when Subaru starts to lose his mind after being transported to a different reality. After getting cold shoulders from everyone, he comes across a beautiful girl who genuinely wants to help him. When Subaru asks her name, she says it's "Satella".

The goal was to scare Subaru away because that would be the reaction of an average citizen after hearing that name. Since Subaru was not from there. It was just a random name for him. That timeline was removed by Subaru when he used his "Return by Death".

1 Is Subaru a Witch That's Representative of Pride?

Subaru is angry in Re:Zero.

Through the whole series, there comes many moments when the viewer wants to punch Subaru in his face for his stupid actions. The reason might be deeper than this. This also explains why Subaru can see the unseen hands when others cannot.

Subaru is the witch representative of pride. He has a more special connection to her than other representatives. Subaru gains some special powers too late in the show.
