Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2: Release Date, Time, Where To Watch, Synopsis & Preview Images

The first episode of Re:Zero Season 3, which was 90 minutes long, set up the stage for what will follow in this season. While the majority of the episode was spent on setting up the scene, the final moments just upped the ante as Subaru found himself caught in the schemes of the Witch Cult.

In what was a weird and haunting sequence, Subaru fell victim to the Sin Archbishop of Wrath’s powers, causing him to return by death. And naturally, in Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2, Subaru will try to find a way to counteract the Witch Cult’s scheme.

Compared to the previous episode, the second one will be more action packed, as both Emilia and Beatrice enter the fray to support Subaru in his fight.

Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2 Preview:

The official website of Re:Zero season 3 revealed the premise of episode 2. It is as follows:

Subaru was suddenly killed by Sirius Romanée-Conti, the Witch Cult’s Sin Archbishop of Wrath, without understanding what had happened. Determined to stop Sirius’ atrocities, Subaru headed to the Clock Tower, where he attempted to rescue a boy named Lusbel, who was bound by chains. However, Subaru was suddenly overwhelmed by an inexplicable terror. As his legs trembled, and he struggled to keep himself standing, what reached his ears was the joyful voice of Sirius. As Subaru was gripped by doubt, Sirius’ chains came crashing down on him.

Re:Zero season 3 episode 2 is titled “The Conclusion of Ice and Fire“. The preview images for the episode are as follows:

The Emilia camp, preparing for the royal selection, had been enjoying peaceful and fulfilling days with everyone united.

However, that tranquility comes to an end when a single letter arrives, delivered by a messenger. The letter is an invitation addressed to Emilia from Anastasia to the city of water gates, Priestella, one of the five major cities of Lugunica and a candidate for the royal selection.

Accepting the invitation, Subaru and his companions head to Priestella, where various reunions await them. Some are unexpected, some are unintentional, and one is yet to come. Beneath the surface, malevolent forces stir, and an unprecedented crisis looms.

Once again, the young man faces a harsh and challenging fate.“
