Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 1 Episode 7 Natsuki Subaru's Restart

Natsuki Subaru's Restart is the seventh episode of the first season of the Japanese anime series, Re:ZERO - Starting Life in Another World. The episode opens with Subaru waking up in the mansion again when he was supposed to be dead. Subaru is initially confused, but soon realizes that he has the power to return from death and rectify the situation.

Subaru realizes that his purpose is not only to save Emilia but all the members of the mansion as well. In the previous episode, Subaru died in an attempt to keep Emilia safe, but now he's back, and he knows exactly what to do. He sets out to prevent the tragedy from happening.

Subaru revisits the candidates once more to gather information about what happens and how he failed in his previous attempt. This visit not only helps him to reconnoiter more about the suspicious behaviour of the candidates, but he also learns about the significance of the insignia belonging to Emilia and their hidden power.

As the episode progresses, Subaru tries to figure out who among the candidates is responsible for Emilia's persecution. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he is blindsided by unexpected betrayal and deceit. With his confidence shaken, Subaru tries to come to terms with the mission entrusted to him, but he is also painfully aware of the cruel twist of fate that brought him in this world.

The episode has some light moments too. After a series of close calls, Subaru finds solace in the company of Ram and Rem. Their light banter and teasing provide a pleasant diversion from the intense drama. Subaru feels comfortable in the company of the two sisters and understands the circumstances of their situation. This makes him even more determined to save them.

The episode takes a sinister turn when Subaru is attacked by Rem. While it comes as a shock to Subaru, it's even more surprising to the viewers who have been rooting for Rem all along. Subaru realizes that something is not right with the way Rem is acting.

Subaru's confrontation with Rem shines a light on the complex and woven relationships between the mansion's residents. The episode underlines how nothing is what it seems, and trust is a precious commodity.

The episode comes to a gripping conclusion when Subaru has another run-in with a sadistic and powerful enemy. In this sequence, we see the full extent of power that accompanies the authority held by the members of the entitled family. And while Subaru is initially overwhelmed, he comes up with a stroke of brilliance that saves him and helps him inch closer to his objective.

The episode's events impact Subaru, and we get a sense that he's not the same person he was before. The episode's underlying theme is of loss and acceptance. Subaru is finding it hard to understand why he's been chosen for this task. However, instead of feeling powerless, he makes a vital realization- that he has the power to change things.

Overall, Natsuki Subaru's restart is one of the most exciting episodes in the series. The episode seamlessly integrates humor, suspense, and action to create a riveting watching experience that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The episode also highlights Subaru's character development, painting him as a multidimensional character instead of a mere one-note hero.
