Re: Zero and the Art of Death

"Theatre of evil" is a complete picture to see from afar


Re Zero Sin Heads Exploding Season 3 Episode 1

The sequence is like Re: Zero Reminds the viewer of his inimitable touch. His hands are once again around the viewer's neck, ready to support and to choke, but at any rate, keeping their eyes facing forward. Time to start again. Realizing what has happened, Subaru nods, hand over his mouth. The viewer is inevitably reminded of the gag earlier in the episode, when seasickness almost made him vomit, and he colds over exactly the same. this time, It's not a bit: He hyperventilates, he pours out disconnected sentences, he lets a few small tears escape.

At this point, it may flood back to the viewer that He was cursed to never tell anyone about his "back through death" ability. Over and over, he must go about it alone, witness the deaths of those he loves and die with nausea until he is able to divert the flow of time just enough to avoid apparent fate.

The premiere of Re: ZeroThe third season is a subversive masterpiece meant to be viewed from afar and understood in its entirety. It's been almost three years since the second season ended. Viewers have plenty of time to forget why Re: Zero is such an innovative isekai. Where most Iskai are intended to be a kind of wish-fulfillment (though the term is thrown around too lightly), Re: Zero is a negative projection. be Fundamental connection to the viewer is based on the horror they feel for the protagonist and the principle of avoidance.

The episode ruminates on death a bit, discussing the death of Reinhard's grandmother. Her death affects the surrounding life, but it is set in stone. Re: Zero Concerns the fundamentally disconcerting idea that death can be an active, rather than passive, instrument: that death, in giving way to life, can be an artistic instrument to build the world that others inhabit by choosing who lives and dies. A massive responsibility.

Subaru's Isekai story never lets up with the brutality and inevitability of death, but more than that, it subsists in the disgust of Subaru's feelings of total responsibility over life. No one he loved died, and yet, he breaks down; The terrible reality of fate and his chosen use of the instrument of death set in. Diverting viewers attention with funny songs and everyday politics, Re: Zero Uses the fact that time has made his brutality fall from view like a shadow cover so that at the right moment it can creep up to remind the viewer of his delectable velvet grip.
