Season two of Re: Zero has given a lot of screen time to Rem and the former witch of greed, Echidna. Both characters have gotten a lot of development, and Echidna seems to have taken the place of Ram in the heart of fans. Rem also has gained quite a lot of popularity due to the fact that she is an essential part of the first season.

Both women are important in Subaru's life and are helping him to overcome some of the toughest challenges yet, whether it be breaking down the barrier or saving Emilia. With so much new information about both of these women, though, fans can't help but be divided on who is the best girl of the season.

10 Echidna: Incredibly Helpful

Echidna from Re:Zero

Echidna startled fans when she appeared, as the witches had been framed as evil. Despite the tough limits of escaping the Sanctuary, Echidna is an actually rather helpful soul who doesn't have any malice towards the cast.

She doesn't seek to harm or skew Subaru; she only wants to see him progress. Echidna is one of the few characters in the series that doesn't try to kill Subaru upon first meeting him and doesn't reject him due to his smell.

9 Rem: Incredibly Blunt

rem re:zero

Rem is one of the bluntest characters in the series, and it really shows in the newest season. Rem may come off as rude, but, in reality, she can't help but to state her true thoughts and feelings, something most of the cast won't do.

Rem constantly insults Subaru for his actions, without trying to mince her words. She is the stronger of the two sisters and she isn't afraid to speak her mind, even if the consequences end up being brutal.

8 Echidna: Wants Subaru to Succeed

Echidna, from the start, has her sights set on helping Subaru to succeed in his goal to escape the Sanctuary. This is seen when at the beginning of the season, she gifts him the power to take on the trials despite not being a half-breed.

Echidna also stops Subaru from smashing his head into the floor after he returns from death and is incredibly mentally unstable. Echidna may be the only thing that has gotten Subaru through the current arc of the show.

7 Rem: Risks Her Life For Subaru

Rem doesn't seem to be completely in favor of Subaru at first, but she is still willing to risk her life for him. Rem is shown, even in the beginning, to have a good heart despite her cold and sarcastic outer appearance.

Rem even was killed at the hands of Petelgeuse in order to allow Subaru to try and get away from him. Just like Ram, Rem is willing to go above and beyond for the people she cares about or the people who care about her friends.

6 Echidna: Knows How to Make Tea

Echidna may be a bit strange, but she is a great host who even serves tea to her guests. While Subaru does find this tea to be a bit gross, it is actually a helpful liquid that can help him survive in the current arc.

Echidna seems to be a refined woman that wants to make those that visit her feel welcomed. While fans don't know if she serves everyone tea, the action of the other witches being right at home at her table seems to point to tea parties being a common event.

5 Rem: Is A Good Maid

Rem's pep talk in Re:Zero.

Rem is a talented maid, but that doesn't stop her from trying even harder at everything she does for the mansion. No matter how many times she succeeds, she still strives to be the best maid possible and keep growing.

Rem is also incredibly grateful for being allowed a place to stay, which shows that she is a very humble character. Rem is willing to try her hardest at everything she tackles, especially if Roswaal gives her a command.

4 Echidna: Incredibly Understanding

Echidna completely understands Subaru's predicament and his strange power. She even allows Subaru to confide in her and is happy to support him when he breaks down crying after learning that she isn't going to die.

Echidna even agrees to let Subaru remember the tea party with little to no resistance. She seems to completely understand how Subaru feels and wants to ease the incredibly tough burden that has been placed on him.

3 Rem: Incredibly Devoted

Rem is devoted to Subaru completely and even admits that she is in love with him. No matter the task he gives her, she immediately carries it out, no matter how much she doesn't want to do it or it endangers her life.

Even when tasked to fight the legendary white whale, she isn't scared to go into battle with Subaru. While fans do want Rem to move away from her feelings towards Subaru, her devotion might even surpass that of Ram to Roswaal.

2 Echidna: Straightforward and Honest

Re: Zero Echidna Playful

Echidna, unlike most of the other powerful characters in the show, isn't trying to sneak around Subaru. Echidna gladly answers any questions that he may have and is straightforward with her answers and warnings.

Power hasn't corrupted Echidna, and many fans think it's sad that she is actually dead in the series. Echidna is one of the few characters who many fans could see Subaru ending up with besides Emilia or Rem.

1 Rem: Treasures Her Family

Rem is incredibly devoted to protecting her younger sister Ram, who is much weaker than her due to having her horn cut off. She treasures her sister, and one of the reasons she kills Subaru who has the witch's scent is to try and protect those she loves.

Rem is even incredibly kind to Emilia, who Subaru is in love with despite her own feelings. Rem is one of the most gentle characters in the series despite how fierce she can be when put into a combat situation.
