First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 10
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 10. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. This note includes a spoiler. Subaru was surprised that Meili was dead on the floor and he obviously killed her, but he didn't remember what happened. So he hid her under a podium and left the room. Then Emilia came to him and worried about him and he wondered how kind she was to him. He was basically shut-in who couldn't do anything before coming to the world, so no wonder. Then Ram came to them, and she asked them to go to the archive where Baeko was there.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 9
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 9. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. This note includes a spoiler. This episode was the best one in the season 4. So we figured out who was the main heroine. Patrasche. Period. Subaru went outside of the tower, and faced a sand worm. I think this was owned by Meili. Right before he was eaten, it was killed by Shaula's magics. I thought she would attack him next, but instead, he fell down into the quicksand. He didn't even see her at all.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 8
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 8. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. This note includes a spoiler. This episode was the best one in the season 4. At first, Subaru lost his memory, and talked to Emilia and Beako about it. Then he also met other people and was surprised by that fact. Julius was so upset about it and he couldn't even introduce himself to Subaru. Ram didn't believe about that fact and asked him in a different place. She was so upset and sad at the same time. I don't know how Ram felt about Rem, but at least Subaru was the only one who knew Rem before she went to sleep. So, that means nobody in the world knew her anymore. Then he and Julius introduced about themselves. Also, Foxidna introduced herself to other people, though at least Emilia noticed she was a spirit. I guessed it was because she contracted with a spirit, Pack. Ram was surprised, though.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 7
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 7. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. I was wondering what this subtitle was about, and this turned out to be an episode with a cliffhanger. At first, Subaru talked to Julius and Julius decided to watch over Echidna, or Foxidna. Then Subaru went back to a room with Emilia, Ram, Beako, Meili, and Shaula, and then planned to talk about the fight. But then he was hungry so they started having a meal. Apparently, Beako and Shaula don't need to eat food at all. Also Beako held Subaru's hand but she blushed because that was from her anxiety, and that childishness was so cute.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 6
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 6. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. So this episode is half story and half action. At first, Julius started fighting against the stick swinger. The stick he used is chopsticks and he was able to use it to block Julius's sword completely and even broke it. Anastasia, or Echidna, couldn't keep watching Julius be beaten by him so she decided to help him with her magic, but he could even block them with the chopsticks. She even got a nosebleed from using too much magic and lost consciousness, so I wondered again what made her care for him that much. Anyway, Julius was completely beaten by him without giving him any scratch. And then, he asked who was going to challenge him and Emilia decided to face him. That said, Reid said at first he wouldn't move a single step because it sounded cool. So, she persuaded him to win against him by setting that as a winning condition. And then she used her magic. The memorable scene was she dropped a lot of weapons made of ice to the ground surrounding him, and fought while moving to places where they were and used those weapons. Also these ice weapons could be moved by her magic, so it was exactly like Unlimited Blade Works. Well, he made some lewd attacks but she didn't care and she won at the end. Subaru also was able to follow their battle so he had already a great sense for fighting, actually. However, even though passing him was the way to the next exam, she was the only one who could, so the rest of the people still need to fight him.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 5
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 5. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. At first, Subaru was surprised to pass an exam on the 3rd floor in the Pleiades Watchtower. It was an answer which has no way to know from normal people, so he thinks the person who set it up is pure evil. Then they went to a library with a lot of books. But the books were unreadable, because when they were opened, the characters were moving. Those books were for the past people but that library was too big and not sorted very well. However, when Subaru opened one of books, then he experienced the life of that person. That book was for the Witch of Pride, Typhon. It's a little bit surprising that even Emilia or Beako didn't know the name of the Witch. Only the Witch of Envy was known in this world?

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 4
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 4. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. Subaru woke up on Emilia's lap at first in their carriage, which was actually in the Pleiades tower. Then everyone is there. I was thinking why? Probably Shaula gathered them or they happened to be there after the end of season 2. But if she gathered, then I think she prioritized Subaru at first, so it's likely the latter case.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 3
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 3. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. At the last episode, Subaru and others fell down from the flower's fields. Subaru, Ram, Anastasia, and Patrasche arrived at the underground of the dune. He obviously saved Ram while falling down to the dune. At first, he was anxious about Rem and lost his temper because if she is alone, she cannot do anything and be hurt. But Ram was chill and she tried to make him calm down. She also is worried about her, but I feel a little bit weird because Ram lost the memory of Rem. So she thinks Rem is important for her because of the fact that she is her sister? At least she got to the point that she reacted like she used to be before if there is a danger to Rem.
