What we expect in Episode 16:
Plot Overview
Episode 16 of the third season of Re: Zero will advance the narrative of Counterattack Arc through its events. After Episode 15 ended, Subaru and Rem return to Crusch’s mansion still hand in hand. Their quest reaches a decisive stage since they work toward uniting against the monstrous Witch Cult.
The main storyline expected in episode 16:
1. Subaru’s Plea to Crusch
Subaru and Rem come across Russell Fellow who represents the Royal Capital Commerce Guild upon their visit to Crusch Karsten’s mansion. Subaru pays minimal attention to Russell Fellow because he directs all his efforts toward persuading Crusch to join his fight versus the Witch Cult.
Crush displays an immediate doubt regarding Subaru’s statements to the extent of questioning whether he may link to the Cult. The reassurance Subaru receives from Rem enables Crusch to redirect their discussion toward topics that interest her personally. She doubts that any assistance to Subaru would generate positive results since Emilia lacks common support among the citizenry.
2. Subaru’s Desperation and Setback
Subaru presents Crusch with an alliance by revealing that the Witch Cult will strike Emilia and Roswaal’s domain within three days, but Crusch denies the request. Crusch rejects the offer because she believes royalty would never accept Emilia as sovereign due to her half-elf background. The sudden outburst from Subaru fuels such strong anger that he attempts to strike Crusch with a kitchen spoon. The anime producers eliminated this specific anime sequence so the confrontation between Subaru and Crusch appeared less confrontational than the light novel version.
Crush denies their request leaving Subaru and Rem without an option for defending the domain against the Witch Cult threat. After discussing multiple strategies without success they have no other option than to attempt convincing other people for assistance.
3. Subaru’s Desperation and a Difficult Decision
Subaru looks for backing from candidate Priscilla Barielle after failing to find support among other contenders for the throne. Priscilla derides Subaru with an offer to help him if he demonstrates his commitment through foot-licking. While hesitant at first, Subaru ultimately decides to comply, but before he can finish, Priscilla stops him and beats him instead.
The princess denies his request, which results in his total humiliation followed by his desperate state. Anastasia Hoshin surprises Subaru at the Royal Capital streets by forcing him into negotiations which reveals his weakness in persuasion techniques. In order to get support from anyone he needs to provide a valuable offer before they will assist him.
4. Subaru’s Last Resort – The Journey to Roswaal’s Domain
Subaru and Rem depart to travel to Roswaal’s domain because they have no other way to alert Emilia and the others about the Witch Cult’s impending invasion. They meet Otto and a group of merchants camping for the night, where Subaru manages to secure their help in traveling quickly.
The White Whale suddenly materialized through thick mist at Flugel’s Tree marking the start of a suspenseful and possibly action-heavy following sequence which Episode 17 will deliver to viewers.
Re Zero Season 3 Episode 16 delivers an emotional plot that follows Subaru during his frantic efforts to gather the Witch Cult opposition. The road ahead will become more dangerous when Crusch denies Subaru’s support request while Priscilla puts him in his place and the White Whale emerges close to Roswaal’s domain.
Subaru’s Counterattack Arc will deliver emotionally difficult circumstances along with crucial difficult choices as well as potential combat scenes throughout its advancing storyline. The next episode of
Subaru’s desperation to defend his family members will air on March 26, 2025.
