Honestly, I don't think having Souma join Cental would be that disastrous of an outcome. In fact, it would've opened the door for a lot of potential development. It'd be a good excuse for Souma to grow, seeing as he'd be learning from the best of the best. He could even do the whole "question his style" thing which is always a popular development arc. The elite 10 get more interactions with Souma, which would do wonders for avoiding one-off antagonists syndrome. Hell, you could even arrange stuff like Souma vs Megumi, which would otherwise never happen in the context of the story.

Okay, so it looks like rem has been killing Subaru in the 2nd loop because of the smell of the witch of envy or satella. Rem uses a chain weapon while ram uses magic. My guess is that satella and Subaru's ability is directly connected because the smell gets stronger after each death and only rem and Betty can tell.

So now Subaru has to convince rem that despite the scent, she can trust him while finding out who casted the curse. My suspicion is still on the dog because it seems it kills a little past midnight but I don't know if Rem has to get bit if Subaru doesn't go to the village.

Ram and rem held his hand in the first loop. Cute. I'm interested in finding out more about the witch's cult since rem reacted so strongly to them. Its also nice to see Subaru losing his sanity after each loop.

I thought about that, it would indeed bring about alot of interesting situations. But it could get really messy and would involve alot of complicated story telling that I dont think he is capable of pulling off. Lets put it this way, it would be too ambitious imo and turn into a trainwreck. But yeah I agree there is no excitement no more.

it wasn't an official shokugeki. If you took this part out, he could still join central. He just wouldn't really be controllable in the brainwash sense.

my only problem with Rezero is that MC dude, like, everything reset everytime you die (this is done to death by so many movies/novels, included where the love one go amnesia etc), so get a grip stop crying ffs, the wonderful moments happened before every reset doesnt count at all so stop being weird. If i was rem/ram i would think MC dude is crazy and that won't help him to solve the case.

Another thing is that he apparently can't tell the truth because he would feel really unwell when he tries to? i bet he will be able to do say out the truths at some dramatic moment

Well he Tsukasa said both things himself. You really think that in this sort of situation just because he couldnt hold him accountable "officially" that if he had called in the claim Souma would be like.. NAAAA not official im not joining. Obviously not. He had to have a reason beside that aswell and the loose cannon aspect was what they came up with. The official/non official thing dont fly on its own.

I don't know. The end of the last ep. had Subaru basically deciding that he's fallen in love(?) with Rem + Ram alongside already liking Emilia and he decided that he's going to save-scum so that he can develop a friendship with them. This is even after knowing for a fact that Rem brutally & remorselessly murdered him twice, of her own volition and that Ram was like 'ok gotta murder him because i reckon he killed Rem' even though Beatrice literally said he was with her the entire night.

That is some next level retarded decision making from Subaru. I can't fathom (other than that he's basically gone insane from the stress dying repeatedly) why he wouldn't just cut his losses. If he dies stupidly next time (theres like a 90% he will) for me, it'll feel like a mark against the plot. I also think he acts like a spaz when he verbally talks about previous-loop stuff to other characters. I get its a sort of 'thinking aloud so the viewer knows whats going on' technique, but in-universe it makes him look deranged as fuck.

re: Not being able to tell others about the loop: The way it was presented made it unclear whether or not it was a part of the ReZero curse, or whether it was his own psychology. I'm inclined to believe that its the curse, and that if he hadn't stopped then he would've had a heart attack or something.

would have an easy time separating out the various feelings and experiences he had. You also have to realize that its not like the sisters had 0 reasons to do what they did. He gets that his position basically stacks the deck against him in Rem/Ram's minds to make him appear like an enemy. As he comes to know more about why things are happening he comes to this realization. The witch obviously did something very terrible to the sisters and he reeks of her (and Beatrice makes it sound like the stink implies he has the witch's favor). I think he was really touched by the fact that the sisters have these underlying distrust and dislike of him but even then they still held his hands when he was asleep and having a nightmare. He understands that at a fundamental level they aren't evil or his enemies but circumstances of him not having the information is causing the rift. That and now he knows that the curse wasn't done by the sisters and is actually targeting the people in the mansion.

As for him not being able to talk about the loop, the visuals during that scene heavily implied that there was a mechanism preventing him from talking about it via paralyzing fear.

they've brutally murdered you at least twice & expressed a pathological hatred of you (because the ReZero curse makes Subaru smells like the Witch Satella or whatever). Remember that Rem killed him even after they had that 'event' when they went shopping & walked back through the forest. I feel like Subaru needs to get a hint.
I'm all for being friends with Emilia, Puck & maybe Beatrice, but he really should drop the maids. Unless he's decided that because he isn't permanently affected by death he doesn't care if they kill him.

I think it's because he's been with them for so long (several loops) and really enjoys their company. Personally, I think it would've been easier if he just left the mansion altogether at the start of the loop. That way, he is less likely to be killed but he just enjoys the whole atmosphere. Think of it from his perspective. He's in some country by himself and these people are the closest to being his friends. If he cuts ties with the maids, he'll have to cut ties with everyone else inadvertently.
