Re:Zero Season 4 returns with more traumatizing moments that are not suitable for sensitive viewers. Subaru Natsuki is truly one of the unluckiest isekai protagonists there is, despite being surrounded by adorable anime girls all the time. Episode 8 stands out as one of Subaru’s most brutal experiences, where he suffers the loss of his memories and dies a brutal death twice.

Unfortunately, conquering the Pleiades Watchtower trials has been officially postponed due to Subaru’s current mental state. Worse still, Subaru breaks one of the tower’s rules, triggering Shaula’s killing mode. That said, even more traumatizing moments await Subaru, and Re:Zero Season 4, Episode 9 is set to escalate the situation further.

Subaru Natsuki is not in the right mental condition right now, as he has lost his memories and is also being hunted by someone trying to kill him. On his first loop, Subaru angered Ram, who couldn’t believe that he suddenly got amnesia at the worst moment possible.

The tension between them eventually reached a boiling point, with Ram cornering Subaru to no end. Ram refused to accept Subaru’s explanations, making it seem as though she had her own motives for turning against him. Subaru even overheard Ram suggesting that the group leave him behind, as he had become a burden they could no longer handle.

Meanwhile, Meili is also acting suspiciously, especially in how she interacts with an amnesiac Subaru. As an assassin still intent on killing Subaru, Meili’s behavior only adds to the uncertainty surrounding the traitor’s identity. Subaru must compose himself at this point, not only for his sake but also for the Witch Cult’s victims who are still relying on him.

Subaru loses his memories in Re:Zero Season 4 shortly after opening a mysterious door and climbing a staircase that leads to an unusual room. Soon after, Emilia and Beatrice discover him unconscious in the third-floor archive room before moving him to the Green Room to recover. This is where he awakens as an amnesiac, with no memories of his first year in the isekai world.

That said, Re:Zero Season 4, Episode 9 is shaping up to be a crucial episode where Subaru may either regain his memories or fall into an even worse state. Clearly, someone is playing tricks on Subaru, and whoever that person or creature may be will prevent him from conquering the second floor’s trial, not to mention the entire watchtower. At this stage, viewers should brace themselves for another intense Re:Zero Season 4 episode.
