Re:Zero season 2 episode 9 cut content
satella loves you edition we start with
echidna and subaru's stolen tea party
with one another
in the light novel it's made much more
clear that echidna holds a grudge
against satella for some reason
subaru's personal reasoning is that
echidna must hate nutella because
satella was the one who killed her at
least according to echidna
when discussing return by death echidna
directly asked subaru that if he could
get rid of the ability
would he now this is an interesting
question and subaru immediately responds
that he would not get rid of the ability
he remarks that it's far too useful and
has allowed him to save
too many people honestly there are a lot
of other cut dialogue pieces between
subaru and echidna before they talk
about daphne but
none of it was particularly critical one
thing that was glossed over when echidna
was discussing the great rabbit
is that all of the individuals in the
great rabbit collective
share the same sense of hunger and if
there is nothing for them to eat then
they will cannibalize
each other echidna also gives slightly
more explanation about how she is able
to
summon the other witches she explains
that their souls are with her and her
castle of dreams
she gathered them into her own flesh
before volcanica destroyed her body and
sealed her away into this realm
okay so that line is kind of a doozy
right echidna literally just
contradicted herself
earlier she states that satella killed
her and now she stated that volcanica
the dragon destroyed her flesh
so which is it also the fact that
echidna is able to gather souls
is in itself a very odd revelation
i don't think that's a normal ability at
all before summoning Daphne, Echidna
gives a danger rating to each of the
other witches
the danger ratings are dangerous safe
very dangerous
extremely dangerous or absolutely
dangerous
we know that minerva is the one that
would fall into the save category
and echidna assigns daphne the rating of
absolutely dangerous
additionally she assigns type in the
rating of very dangerous and carmilla
the rating of
extremely dangerous and based off of
that we can infer that segment must just
be
dangerous okay so there was actually a
big shift here in terms of what the
anime does versus what the light novel
does
in the light novel echidna does not
state to subaru anything about
restraints or not looking in daphne's
eyes
at this point and that's because echidna
actually briefly reappears
after Minerva and Typhon shows up in the
anime
her dialogue from that scene was shifted
to before typhon shows up
i think this is mostly a good change and
it helps improve the pacing
of this scene by a bit on to subaru's
conversation with typhon though
now i've already seen a lot of people
who are really upset that typhon calls
echidna
chid-chid so you guys probably already
know about this
but in the light novel she refers to
echidna as dona now see this makes
sense because the japanese pronunciation
for echidna
is ekidona but for an english audience
it would have made more sense to go with
the translation of
idna-idna honestly i have no idea why
they came up with chid-chid it is an
incredibly bizarre translation
another translation problem is that
Typhon asks subaru if he's a bad guy in
the anime
now in the light novel she asks if he's
an evil-doer
I actually like the bad guy translation
more than evildoer (makes her seem more childish)
but I'm pretty confident the most
accurate translation is likely
sinner but you know oh well i guess they
all mean the same thing essentially
when typhon asks to shake hands subaru
tries to get her to spill the beans
first in the anime as he still thinks
that she's daphne and he just wants to
ask his question
in the light novel he's way more passive
and literally just agrees to shake her
hand
i like this change as it shows subaru is
more on guard in the anime than he is in
the light novel
and then we have minerva show up this
bit is essentially the same as it is in
the light novel except subaru has a lot
of internal dialogue about how
sexually appealing minerva is and the
first thing he says to her
is breasts sometimes cuts are a good
thing guys
on to best witch Daphne's scene (let's go) also let
me know in the comments who your
favorite witch is of the three new ones
we got in this episode now if you're a
web novel reader you're probably really
really confused by what happened in the
anime in this scene as it's a lot
different from what happens in the web
novel
unfortunately what's supposed to be the
climactic moment of this scene in the
web novel was actually removed in the
light novel
this moment is supposed to happen
towards the end of the conversation with
daphne where she makes an allusion to
how subaru should try being on the brink
of starvation in a very ominous way
in the web novel this leads to her
showing subaru one of her eyes
this causes him to feel such extreme
hunger that he ends up eating part of
his hand
it's a great moment that i was
personally really disappointed was
removed but it is not an
anime change now as for the light novel
to anime changes there were a couple
here
in the anime daphne makes a direct
reference to subaru's miasma
which was not in the light novel daphne
also offers an explanation on her very
strange mode of locomotion the centipede
coffin
she made it herself and in fact i'm
pretty sure it's actually a mabeast
it gets its energy to move from her
sweat and
urine very interesting re-zero and when
subaru asked daphne why she made the
great rabbit experience the same hunger
she experiences
she remarks that even if bunny's stomach
is empty
it doesn't make daphne's stomach any
emptier which causes super to realize
that they are essentially talking past
one another and making literally no
progress in the conversation
coming back to echidna there really
wasn't much here that was actually
changed
echidna does remark that a normal person
would be incredibly resentful towards
typhon which causes subaru to realize
that he doesn't really value his own
safety as much as he used to anymore
subaru is slightly more hesitant to use
petra's handkerchief as compensation for
the tea party but he eventually relents
now there was a bit of an interesting
shift here at the end
part of volume 12 was actually inserted
which was when Garfiel comes and bails
subaru
out of being molested by Satella volume
11 was supposed to end with Nutella
saying
I love you for the first time and then
the scene with Roswaal happening
immediately afterwards
most likely they had a bit of extra time
so they used it to adapt the first part
of volume 12.
next week well i'm guessing you all know
what's going to happen
thanks for watching and make sure to
tune in again next thursday
