How Will Rem Get Her Existence Back?
Re:Zero Season 2 Questions
One of the biggest stingers of Re:Zero Season 2’s premiere was Rem being sidelined through some magical hijinks.
After confronting two Sin Archbishops alongside the Royal Selection candidate Crusch, she wound up being defeated and left in a coma from the battle. Not only that, but her very existence was consumed by the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, resulting in everyone but Subaru forgetting she ever existed.
Once he discovers this, Subaru swears to reclaim her existence, rouse her from her coma, and return his friends’ memories of her at all cost.
In the subsequent episodes though, this plotline fell to the wayside. No real progress was made in finding out how to get the memories of her back, or how to defeat the Sin Archbishop responsible for her current state.
Granted, this isn’t the first time this has happened. Season 1 saw the introduction of the White Whale right in the middle of Subaru’s other conflicts, taking the focus away from what felt like the main story for several episodes. In time though, it was resolved and the story regained its focus.
The same can’t be said for Rem’s predicament just yet though, so we’ve been left wondering: How will Rem get her existence back? It’s kind of crucial to getting her back in the game, and given most of the other new plot points were resolved over the course of the season, it’s now at the forefront of viewers’ attention.
