Wanted to see art of Echidna and Shaula together after reading the recent Shaula side story. Decided I may as well make it water themed since I've been wanting to use the official summer Echidna outfit from the Re: Princess Connect gacha game.

Rewatching Season 1 after having seen Season 4, I realized that this scene might have a much deeper meaning than I initially thought.

Subaru confesses his feelings to Emilia after saving her. Emilia, who is suspected of being Satella, smiles and cries tears of happiness, while the Flugel's tree stands in the background, split in half. A tree that is itself suspected of being connected to Subaru.

The symbolism becomes even more interesting when you consider opening 2, which features Emilia standing in front of Flugel's tree as dark hands reach toward her, while Subaru runs to save her.

A love story that may have begun 400 years ago, resurfacing in the present as the past intertwines with the future, while the tree connected to that past stands shattered.

What could all of this represent?

Personally, I feel that the split tree could represent some kind of “breaking of the cycle.” The dark hands reaching for Emilia seem to clearly symbolize what Volcanica described happening to Satella: the Authority of Envy consuming her and leading to her becoming the "Witch of Envy".

But I’m curious to hear what you all think.

Earlier I used to wonder from where did echidna get her eye colors from. But after randomly watching a color combining video, we can say that she indeed got her parents eyes.

This was from a qna in 2014.

Hopefully this won't become uncanon or forgotten, and we will see it in arc 10 :)

Hello everyone! First of all, it’s a pleasure to meet you all. Like many others, I’m a fan of *Re:Zero*, but I’ve been pondering a certain question for quite some time.

I’ve been following the *Re:Zero* anime since the very first episode aired.

As I’ve followed the story, I’ve come to realize there’s a mystery that still puzzles many people—and, to be honest, I think I’ve figured it out.

I want to clarify from the start that I haven’t gone beyond the anime; I haven’t read the light novels yet (though I plan to). This theory is based solely on what I’ve seen so far. If I’m wrong, I hope you’ll forgive me—and if I’m right, well, that’s great!

So, let’s begin:

---------------------------------------------------------

First things first: the author has stated quite clearly that there is no time travel. Therefore, I’ll put forward the following premise:

Subaru does not travel through time, and he is not a younger version of Flugel.

However, I will also propose this: since we know Subaru is a candidate to become a "Sage," consider the following—

Subaru Natsuki will not *become* Flugel... but Flugel knows Subaru Natsuki completely.

There are several clues that point to this:

Flugel was regarded as a great Sage. He knew the legendary Hoshin—a genius credited with bringing innovations to this world.

In my view, Flugel was a Japanese person who was reincarnated into the world of *Re:Zero*. He crossed paths with many, including Hoshin the merchant—whom he helped by introducing elements of Japanese culture—as well as Satella, who was an ordinary half-elf whom he saved before she eventually became the Witch of Envy.

Flugel succeeded in improving the world and accomplished great things as a Sage, mastering the art of magic.

But there is one specific type of magic that he almost certainly mastered—a form of magic that either originated with him or was created in collaboration with Echidna. Future Clairvoyance.

In her quest to explore the future, Echidna developed a form of magic that allowed her to glimpse events in the distant future—a magic that enabled the creation of the "Gospels," or books of wisdom.

My theory is that Flugel managed to perfect this magic, reaching a point where he could foresee not only his own future but also the futures of others.

Having glimpsed what was to come, he began making preparations to ensure that Satella could be saved.

Flugel was a human, while Satella was a half-elf who loved him.

Her love was so intense that it drove her to madness.

For although Flugel was powerful and wise, he was, in the end, only human; the prospect of a world without him was something Satella could never accept.

Consequently, before Flugel’s death, Satella took a dangerous gamble: she sought to obtain the powers of the other Witches to craft a spell that would grant Flugel immortality—an endeavor that ultimately resulted in the creation of "Return by Death."

However, through his magic, Flugel was able to foresee this; he could see the future and the actions Satella would take.

He foresaw a future in which Satella was successfully contained, yet he also realized that, even after his own death, she might eventually use her influence to seize a future version of him—a reincarnation of his soul—and bring it into her world.

Flugel is the past life of Natsuki Subaru.

Flugel foresaw that Satella would attempt to reclaim him, and that she would bestow upon him the power of "Return by Death."

Having foreseen all the events that would unfold for the Subaru of the future, Flugel dedicated everything he had to assisting his own future reincarnation. Some of the actions he took to assist Natsuki Subaru included:

- Planting Flugel’s Tree, which was created with the sole purpose of helping Natsuki Subaru kill the White Whale.

- Constructing the Pleiades Watchtower, a place where Natsuki Subaru would be able to confront and defeat the Archbishops of Gluttony.

- Asking Shaula to wait for his return at the Watchtower—a request she indeed fulfilled, though she was waiting for the reincarnation of Flugel.

This last point explains why Shaula recognized him instantly; she identified Flugel from his past life. It also accounts for the similarities between the two characters, as well as their shared obsession with constellations.

Flugel always knew that, at some point after his death, Satella would go to any lengths to bring him back. Since the dead cannot be resurrected and Flugel’s soul had re-entered the cycle of reincarnation from his original world, Satella had to seek out that soul—which had reincarnated as Natsuki Subaru.

This is why, during the Sanctuary arc—on both occasions when Natsuki Subaru encounters Satella—he insists that he will save her. He never speaks of killing or defeating her; his goal is always to save her.

This is because Flugel loved Satella deeply. That is why he did everything in his power and made extensive preparations—even forming alliances with certain Witches and, in all likelihood, contributing to the creation of the Gospels.

All of this was done with the ultimate objective of creating a world where Satella could be saved.

Satella prepared a world where she can reincarnated using Emilia as her avatar where she can live again along the reincarnation of Flugel, Subaru Natsuki.

That's why Emilia was the only one able to see the key to open the seal that keeps Satella sealed.

Emilia was the daughter/ vessel prepared to be the token for Satella, and her mother without a doubt, was one of the six

And there's something we cannot miss... the biggest mistery... Patrasche.

Patrasche is the only think that connects Flugel and Subaru, since there was a Patrasche in the time of Flugel, and a Patrasche in the time of Subaru Natsuki. A patrasche that Volcanica was able to recognize.

If we cannot consider the time travel, then we can only have 2 possibilities:

-That Patrasche is an inmortal dragon that can die but not age

-That Flugel and Subaru shares the likes in the name of Dragons.

Now I just want to include some things that are curious.

-The hate of Echidna against Emilia, are for different reasons, but the main one can be the next:

1. Satella and Echidna, in some moment compete for the love of Flugel, Satella love was pure, and Echidna love was for the knowledge of Flugel
2. In some moment Flugel was friend with Minerva with wrath witch, the biological mother of Emilia, another witch that collaborated to try to save Satella.
3. Flugel knew in all moment what would happen, so prepared a society that suppose to protect the witches of the world, that was originally the witch cult, and Geuse, one of the disciples of Flugel, was in charge to lead this cult.
4. After Minerva died, and her sould was kept in the dreams castle of Echidna, she was the first prototype to create or transform a witch soul into something more inmortal. And with this I mean Puck, Puck is the original version of Minerva, who died and let her daughter Emilia alone, that's why puck was crying after finding Emilia.
5. Geuse got emotional after finding for the first time to Emilia, because genetically, she's the mirror of Satella, who was the savior of Geuse, Flugel and Satella saved Geuse, and that's why he feels in his madness a big devotion to Satella.
6. Minerva do recognize Emilia as her daughter in the tea party during the sanctuary arc, and Satella and Minerva were the closest friend before becoming the Envy Witch. So we can consider that she can be related in the theory that Emilia was sealed to be frozen in time until the time that Flugel suggested, so she can be grow and live the events that took place during her test in the sanctuary.

So at the end, for me, Flugel knew what would happen after his death, and what Satella would do, so he prepared everything that would be need so his next life

And we need to have something clear... Pandora is the one who used the Elf to prepare the trap that put in danger MInerva's life in order to make Satella consume her essence.

Pandora can also be the responsible of setting up the events that made Satella become the envy witch.

And is the most possible that Flugel shared the slotth factor to Geuse, because he knew that he will needed in the battle against Regulus and Pandora.

Flugel had the future vision, and setup everything... To make sure his next life, can save Satella and also stop her, and also to protect Emilia, the daughter of Minerva and possible vessell of Satella.

hope you can find this theory interesting, if you have any suggestion or idea, I would love to hear it.

Are puck and satella half-siblings like vincent and priscilla. Puck was once a humanoid before most likely an elf. Hypothetically If satella is called a princess, can this fraud cat be the true king of the kingdom emilia is from?. Emilia is also called a princess.
