Re:Zero Ep 19- Battle Against the White Whale · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Hey, it's your thing, Michelle Again, I'm back. So yeah,
0:07
not too much going on this week. Thank you for being here. Also,
0:13
I'm supposed to wish you a happy Hanukkah. I guess today, if
0:19
you're listening to this on the day that it airs, would be the last
0:23
night of Hanukkah. If you're not listening to it on the day that it
0:28
airs, then it's too late for you to celebrate Hanukkah because it's over unless
0:34
you're listening to this next year during Hanukkah. But that seems like that's probably
0:40
not gonna happen, you know. But you know, if you are a
0:44
person from twenty twenty four listening to this, I hope we are all still
0:48
alive in twenty twenty four. I hope the world hasn't ended. Not that
0:52
you could listen to this if the world ended. So it's still around.
0:55
Yay, we did it, I guess. Okay, now that I've said
1:00
whatever that was, we're going to talk about REE zero, episode nineteen,
1:03
which is called Battle against the White Whale. Okay, so that explains the
1:11
entire episode, so we don't even need to do it right Yay, No,
1:14
we should probably talk about it. So after last episode, which was
1:19
that emotional episode where I kind of cried and you didn't cry, probably but
1:23
you were concerned about me crying, I think we have to move forward with
1:30
how to save everyone, I guess. So we start off this episode with
1:34
Krush and Felix and Wilhelm and Ram. That was a lot of ans for
1:40
some reason. At Krush's mansion, there are like in a room together and
1:46
Krush says what and Super is like, okay, I'll say it again,
1:49
thank you, because I just got here and I don't know what you said.
1:53
So then he says, an alliance between the Amelia and Krush camps on
1:57
equal terms for this purpose all the time and location of the white Whale's appearance.
2:02
That's the only card I have to play. Yay, that's a really
2:06
good card. Not only that, but the next thing we see is the
2:09
opening theme. Oh my god, guys, I get a break back from
2:15
the opening theme and probably a commercial. We kind of go, I guess
2:19
into the past a bit where we were our last episode at that park,
2:23
and Rem says the Witch's cult and supers like, yeah, they're on the
2:28
move. After Amelia and Rem says Roswald feared that something like this might happen
2:32
as well, and Suberu says, I want to stop them, but I
2:37
don't have any fighting strength. I have to start negotiating to pull some together.
2:40
Will you help me? And of course rem smiles and nods because she'd
2:46
do anything for Superu. And then we go back to the present and everybody
2:52
at Cruci's place, and Wilhelm says, the white whale. He gets this
2:57
really scary blue aura, and then he sighs and calms down, and he's
3:02
like, please forgive my indiscretion. I suppose I still have much to learn.
3:07
Geez, it's okay to have emotions. Willhelm Crush then shakes her head
3:14
and is like, and it is rather sudden that you'd bring up the white
3:16
Whale, and Subaru says, not at all. When we began this negotiation,
3:23
I mentioned the magic stones in Roswall's domain in Ellie or Forest. I
3:29
don't even remember that that was a thing. I assume that that is something
3:32
that's covered in the late novel, but they just omitted from the anime whatever.
3:38
And he continues, if sharing the mining race is insufficient, I need
3:42
to offer something additional. I'm certain that my info will aid in your plan
3:46
to subjugate the white whale. And then cruseh is like, all right,
3:50
let me ask you one thing. What gave you that idea? That remark
3:54
was not one that you might pass off as a baseless accusation. Suberu says,
4:00
for the past few days, some things have bothered me. First the
4:02
increase in traffic to and from your mansion. It's been a little excessive.
4:08
Also in the Capitol, I heard you'd been purchasing weapons and armor plus.
4:14
And then we see, like Suber thinking back to when Wilhelm was talking to
4:18
that merchant guy whose name is Fellows. Russell Fellows got it, and we
4:24
hear the merchant guy say, if Khrushsama's goal is to be attained, I'm
4:28
sure it would suit your desires willelm. So then we go back to now
4:31
and Suber says, you appear to be planning something big. Of course I
4:35
can't prove it. Maybe I only made the connection because I know the white
4:40
whale will appear soon. And Cruse just like, I have another question,
4:46
on what grounds do you know where the white whale will appear? Suberu slides
4:51
his cell phone towards her and says this, and they all kind of look
4:56
at it, and Cruse says, what in the world world is this?
5:00
And Super thinks the moment before it happened, And then we have a really
5:05
quick flashback of that other loop where him and the merchants were riding by the
5:11
Flugel tree and he had just almost got needed by the white whale and his
5:15
cell phone like bounced towards him, and it had bounced towards him open and
5:19
he saw the time on the cell phone. It said thirteen fifteen, which
5:27
would translate to one fifteen pm, but we know it was at night,
5:30
so it just means that the time in Japan is not the same time as
5:34
it is in this universe. Actually, I don't even think the clock would
5:39
work like that, but let's let's pretend it does. So that's super cool.
5:44
Like he knows what time it was on his phone when the whale appeared.
5:47
Awesome, and Super says, it's what you'd call a media Cruse picks
5:53
it up and is looking at it and opens it. And I may have
5:57
forgotten to tell you this, but he has a flip. It's not like
6:00
a normal brick smartphone. It's like a Nokia flip phone, which is probably
6:05
why it's survived this long, because if my phone was in another world with
6:11
me, I don't know if it would make it very long. It certainly
6:15
wouldn't make it like dropping from high up when I was fighting the white whale
6:19
or whatever. So now you know, in case I didn't tell you that
6:23
he has a flip phone. So anyway, Crush he was looking at the
6:27
phone and Suber says, it tells when and where the white whale will appear,
6:34
and Krush says, I find that a bit hard to believe. And
6:39
then she puts the phone down and kind of slides it back to him and
6:42
says, but I see that you're not lying. And Super is like,
6:46
I appreciate that, but are you sure you want to believe me that easily?
6:50
And Felix says, lies will get you nowhere. With Grush, she
6:54
has the divine protection of wind reading okay, And Suber is like, what,
6:59
yes, I don't know what that is. Cruse says, when someone
7:02
lies a telling wind blows around them. I can see that wind. You
7:06
did not have that, So Super says, does that mean that you'll agree
7:11
to the alliance in exchange for my info, and CRUSH's like, you're getting
7:15
ahead of yourself. Whether I agree to it and whether I believe you were
7:18
two separate matters. My decision will determine the outcome of the royal selection,
7:24
if not, the Kingdom's very future. It can't be made lightly. Then
7:28
we hear a voice from outside of the room say, mind if I listen
7:31
in on this little chat too, And it sounds like Anastashia because it is
7:36
so. Anastasha opens the door and her and Russell Fellow were there just hanging
7:43
out in the hallway. And Anistasha says, you guys asked us to come
7:46
here, and you're starting without us. That's hardly fair. Let us in
7:50
on this, and CRUSH's like, was it Nazki Subaru that asked you to
7:56
come? And Anistasha's like, well, to be exact, it was that
8:00
girl that he keeps with them. I only heard the gist. But if
8:03
you're really planning to subjugate the White Whale, I'll look forward to it.
8:07
F us business folk, whether it's around is a life or death matter of
8:11
course, our mercenary team will help you all. And then Russell says,
8:16
in addition to the white Whale, I'm interested in the concession that Suber proposed
8:20
of mining rights to the magic stones. I to don't know what that is.
8:24
If an alliance is formed, magic stones from the Pristine veins will be
8:28
distributed to the Capitol through Crush as a merchant's guild representative. I can't let
8:33
that offer go unheard. Apparently they're good stones, and Crush is like he
8:37
called you as well, and Subru says, I'll say it one more time.
8:43
What I offer in return for the alliance is his share of the magic
8:46
stone mining rights and info about when the white whale will appear. In other
8:50
words, the fuel that is needed to subjugate the mobbies that's terrorized the world
8:54
for so long. Good job, Superu. And then he pauses and he
8:58
says, if what I say makes no sense to you, then you can
9:01
forget about it. But if your goal in my wish aligne then he stands
9:05
and says, let's defeat the white whale. And he reaches out his hand
9:11
to Khrush and says, let's go on a hunt. Yeah, let's do
9:16
it. And then Suber kind of thinks about what happened last time he tried
9:18
to negotiate with Khrush, and he gulps and Krush size and says, I
9:24
still have several questions, but it was brilliant of you to expose my plans.
9:30
Suber's like then, and Krush says, I have questions as well as
9:33
doubts. Many of the things you say are unclear to me, so I'm
9:37
having difficulty agreeing immediately. However, I shall choose to trust your eyes,
9:43
huh, and the spirit that led you to create this situation. And they
9:48
shake hands. Yay. Then Suber like sits down like exhausted, and Russell
9:54
comes up to him and was like, it was touch and go there for
9:58
a bit, but I'm glad it worked out. I trust the promise we
10:01
made prior to the negotiations still stands, and Super is like, yeah,
10:05
you were a big help. Once subjugation is complete, I'll give you the
10:07
media. I don't really think that that's gonna do much because it's just the
10:13
cell phone that doesn't work in another world. But okay, Krush sighs and
10:18
says, so you did lay some groundwork before coming here, and you were
10:24
just waiting outside the door for the right moment to enter. And then Anastasia
10:28
says, but it was up to us when we interrupted. Well, as
10:31
far as negotiations go, I guess that it just passes. And Suber's like,
10:37
I thought you were never going to open the door, and Anastasia wings
10:41
and says, when negotiating, there's always a time to make your move.
10:45
Well as you're getting ready for the subjugation and such, don't forget to patronize
10:50
the Hachien company. And then she leaves, okay, and Khrush to Suber,
10:56
who says, you pave the way before negotiations began. You're surprisingly shrewd,
11:01
Suberu. He's not. And Super's like, my preparations and review paid
11:07
off. That's all, to be honest, I couldn't be more relieved.
11:11
And then Felix is like that's pretty obvious, and they all kind of like
11:15
laugh, and super Size then, yeah, things are going much better than
11:20
they went in the past, so that's good. And then Suber says,
11:24
we managed to save face for staying in the capitol, right Rem, And
11:28
RIM's like, yeah, you truly are wonderful, Suberu, Jeezu Rem,
11:33
and then Wilhelm just kind of walks over and he's like Suberu and he bows
11:37
in front of him, and he says thank you, and Suber like looks
11:41
at him like super confused, like I'm looking at him, and Wilhelm's like,
11:46
I offer you gratitude equal of that to which I offer my lady Duchess
11:50
Krusch Carston. And Super's like, uh what, And Wilhelm says, as
11:54
perceptive as you are, I'm sure you're aware. But if I may introduce
11:58
myself, and he stands back up and says, my family name is Astraya.
12:03
I took the previous master Swordsman, Teresa von Austria as my wife,
12:09
giving me the honor of the bloodline's lowest seat. That is who I William
12:13
von Austria am. I thank you for so kindly granting this old man an
12:20
opportunity to slay that loathsome mobbies that took my wife. Oh I remember the
12:26
master swords person that was killed by the white whale. I guess that was
12:31
her, now we know? And then he bows again and Super stands and
12:35
he's like, sure, yeah, of course I knew that. I figured
12:37
Khrushan would just like accept my offer, keeping that in mind, and then
12:41
Crush is like, SUBERU, the window untruth is blowing from you. Yay,
12:48
okay. So then that night at Krush's mansion, there's all these people
12:52
outside and they're like getting ready for battle and stuff and moving things around and
12:56
there's like tons of carriages and all this stuff everywhere, and Suber is outside
13:01
kind of watching, and he says, now, I get it. You
13:05
bought all the dragon drawn carriages for this, so that's why I had trouble
13:09
getting back to the mansion. Then Felix walks over and says, you're still
13:16
awake, and Super is like, as if I could sleep, everyone else
13:18
is working through the night. Felix is like, they have no choice,
13:22
we don't have much time, and Suber says, yeah, the whale's gonna
13:26
appear tomorrow night in the area around Flugel's tree. And Felix says, so
13:31
you know, given the travel time, we're barely gonna make it. Besides,
13:35
can't you see it in their faces? And we get to see all
13:39
the people who are working, and they all look like really excited, like
13:41
there's an excited energy in the air or whatever the fuck I'm trying to say,
13:48
And Felix says, not a single one is preparing unwillingly. Everyone wants
13:52
to get rid of the white Whale, especially old man Will. And Suber's
13:56
like, yeah, he said it took his wife, and Felix is like,
14:01
yeah, he's been chasing after it all this time, ever since it
14:05
killed the previous master swordsman. And Suber's like the previous master Swordsman. And
14:11
Felix says, well, now you know, so you should stop worrying and
14:15
get some sleep. There's nothing you can do to help with supply distribution or
14:18
organization anyway, and then he starts to walk away, and Super is like,
14:22
that may be true, but you didn't have to say it, and
14:26
Felix chuckles and continues to walk away. Then I guess it's morning the next
14:31
day, and you know, we're outside in front of the mansion again,
14:35
and all of these ground dragons are like lined up in a row, and
14:41
I just wanted to stop and say, did I explain what a ground dragon
14:45
is? Cause I don't remember doing that. It's just like a big dragon
14:48
with like two legs or four legs or something four legs two legs maybe,
14:54
but it doesn't have wings, so that's why it's called a ground dragon.
14:58
It's like the size of a horse basically. So yeah, I probably wasn't
15:05
necessary anyway. All the ground dragons are lined up and Super's there looking at
15:11
him, and he's like, I'm supposed to pick whichever one I want,
15:15
and Felix says, what you don't like them? And Supers like, it's
15:18
not that I'm glad that you're letting me borrow one, but I can't tell
15:22
anything about their quality? Do I look like a veteran who's studying nothing but
15:26
ground dragons for decades? And then he just like stops what he's saying and
15:31
he stops in front of one of the ground dragons and he's like, huh,
15:37
are you that one from? And we get this really quick flashback of
15:39
him like standing with Amelia and a ground dragon, and I actually don't know
15:45
when that was from, but it was obviously a ground dragon that was around
15:50
him and Amelia before. I guess unless he just doesn't remember what that one
15:54
looked like, doesn't matter. So we stopped in front of the ground dragon
15:58
and he he his hand out towards the ground dragon's face, and the dragon
16:03
like leans into his embrace, like when you're gonna pet a cat, and
16:07
they like wanna be pet and they like move their body to your hand kind
16:11
of like that, and so Subro is like petting his face and he says,
16:15
looks like this is the one, and Ram's like, I'm surprised.
16:18
This ground dragon is a type known for extreme pride. I assume that she
16:23
means they're like harder to train and tame because they have their own wills and
16:30
stuff, like a maybe like a husky or something I don't know, but
16:34
not a dog a ground dragon. And then Subro says, Felis, I'll
16:38
take this one. So wait before you even continue this. They've been off
16:44
and on through the entirety of Rezero with Felix. They keep switching what they're
16:51
calling him in the translation Felis sometimes Felix sometimes, so I've just been calling
16:56
him Felix because I don't really know what the degal is here. There's not
17:00
like an X in Japanese, so I'm not sure if the translator was having
17:06
trouble figuring out what do and thought maybe different people were calling him different things.
17:10
I don't know, but now it's pretty much switched completely to just calling
17:14
him Felis or police or something. I don't know, So I guess I'm
17:18
gonna start doing that. But I feel weird about it. Maybe I'll just
17:22
keep calling him Felix. Yeah, I'm just gonna keep calling him Felix that
17:26
way, you know what's happening, even though we have the wrong name.
17:29
Probably Okay, So in a way, he tells Felix he wants to take
17:32
that one, and he says it's loved first sight, and Felix is like,
17:37
okay, but don't say love at first sight. You're making Rem pout.
17:41
And Rem does look like she's pouting, but she says, I'm not
17:44
pouting. I'll be nice to it. I can do it. And then
17:48
she looks at the ground Dragon and the ground Dragon looks at her, and
17:51
they stare at each other like intensely, like as though they are rivals.
17:56
And then we're inside some big room in the mansion and there's like lots of
18:00
people there, like everybody's gathered there basically, I guess, getting ready to
18:04
go, and Subaru is there somewhere doing stuff, and some big guy like
18:10
comes up to him and puts his hand on Subaru's head, like he's a
18:12
really big guy, and he's like some sort of demi human wolf thing like
18:18
he looks basically like a standing up wolf sort of but like a really big
18:21
one. And the guy says, my lady was telling me about you.
18:26
You're the star of this little show, right, and Subro kind of looks
18:32
at him. The guy his hand is still on his head, by the
18:33
way, and he's like that logo, like he's like armor with a logo
18:37
on it and stuff, and he's like that logo and a Kararagi accent from
18:41
a demi human. Then you're with Anastasha, right, and so the guy
18:47
is like, what you know, I'm Ricardo, the head of her mercenary
18:52
team, and his hand is still on Suber's head and Super is kind of
18:55
like trying to get out from under this guy's big hand. And then the
18:59
Ricardo guy turned to Ram and says like, it's nice to meet you,
19:02
a little lady, and Super's like, stop it. You're huge, you'll
19:04
snap my neck. And then Ricardo just like looks up and he's like,
19:10
oh, my lady, and he pushes suberu aside and walks away, and
19:14
Super's like hey, ol and then Krush comes up to him and is like,
19:18
so that's the pride of Anastasia and the Ho Shan's the iron Fang I
19:22
see they all look quite strong, and then she says, did you rest
19:27
well last night? And Suber was like, I nearly died a second ago.
19:33
And he notices that Krush is wearing her armor and he's like, oh,
19:37
so, I guess you're gonna be fighting too, and Crush is like,
19:41
you think I'm capable of just sitting in a chair waiting for good news
19:44
about this. I'm more surprised that you're participating. Can you fight? And
19:49
Suber is like nope, but even if I can't fight, and then he
19:52
points to himself, I think this human will be pretty useful against the white
19:56
whale, and Crush says, I must ask on what grounds? And Suber
20:03
is like, I'm not all that happy about it myself, but I seem
20:07
to be the type of guy that attracts mobbyists and Crushes like what and Reem
20:11
says, it's true thanks to that subru has previously saved my life, and
20:18
Subro is like, so on my borrowed ground dragon, I'll run under the
20:22
white wheeled nose and draw it detention while you guys launch an all out attack.
20:26
It's the tactic I'd recommend anyway, and Crush is like, under its
20:30
nose, and then she lets out a really big sigh and she's like,
20:34
shockingly, I sense no lies in that statement. I never thought I'd doubt
20:40
my divine protection as often as I have in the last day. And then
20:44
a bunch of people in armor walk through the door and Cruse is like,
20:48
oh, they're here. And one of the guys in the armor walks up
20:52
to her and is like, Cruse, Samo, we arrived. Is this
20:56
the boy? And CRUSH's like, yeah, he is. And the guy
21:00
puts his hands on Subrow's shoulders and says thank you, young man, and
21:04
Suber's like what, And the guy's like, thanks to you, our wish
21:07
may come true. We couldn't be happier. Thank you, And Suber looks
21:12
like kind of confused and stunned, and the guy just smiles and pats him
21:18
on the shoulder, and then him and the other guys in the armor just
21:22
kind of walk off somewhere else and Ram says it seems like they all have
21:27
a history with the White Whale, and Suber is like, then they're like
21:32
Willhelm and Cruse says, yeah, many of them are men who retired from
21:36
the front lines. They've joined our subjugation force at Wilhelm's invitation. And then
21:41
we see those guys talking to Wilhelm and they're like putting their hands on each
21:45
other's shoulders and some of them are like crying a little bit and stuff.
21:48
They're like happy to see him, but it's kind of bittersweet kind of deal.
21:52
And Cruse says their morale and experience are comparable with those of the Capital's
21:57
active knights. And then Felix appears and it's like Krush, it's time.
22:02
Crush is like rights. And we see as Krush goes off to prepare Subaru
22:07
kind of stares at those guys you're talking to Wilhelm and he smiles, but
22:11
then he his face changes and he looks really determined or something. Next,
22:15
Krush is standing in front of everybody in the big hall place that they're in,
22:21
and she addresses them and she says, four hundred years since the white
22:26
whale, created by the Witch of Envy, made the world it's hunting ground,
22:30
trampling the week and dominating the land as if it were its owner,
22:33
four hundred years have passed. Countless lives have been lost in that time,
22:38
given its FOG's unscrupulous nature, as well. The number of graves we cannot
22:42
even inscribe with names will only rise. I how do they even know that?
22:48
They don't remember people if no one remembers them, I don't understand anyway.
22:53
Continuing along, she says, but these days of sitting idle end today.
22:59
Today, those of us will end it. We will strike down the
23:03
white Whale and stop further tragedy. We shall give the sorrow which fell short
23:07
of true sorrow a chance to shed overdue tears. I don't know what that
23:11
means. I have no idea what that means. But whatever, She bangs
23:15
her sword on the ground and says, we move out. Our final destination
23:18
is Flugel's tree on the leaf Ouse Highway. Tonight we shall slay the white
23:22
whale with our own hands. And then everybody cheers, and then they are
23:29
riding across like planes, basically everybody and Subaru and Ram are like on that
23:36
ground dragon and like two little cats demi human cats, like just kids with
23:41
cat eers ride up to them, and they're like on wolves. The kids
23:45
are on wolves, and one of them is that girl from the other loop,
23:49
the little girl named Mimi, And Mimi's like ah me me glad to
23:55
know yet, and the other kid is like, I'm Hitaro. Nice to
23:59
me, and so was like, yeah, it's nice to meet you too
24:03
anyway, not that I doubted it, but you really are second in command
24:07
huh, Like she says it to me me, and Mimi's like, huh
24:11
have we met somewhere before? Hmm? I totally can't remember at all.
24:15
And then she starts like swaying and saying like remember remember, and Hitaro is
24:21
like, come on on it, John, you have to sit properly.
24:23
They are riding wolves at the moment, and Super's like, you know,
24:27
don't worry about it. I was just talking to myself. I'm not Ski
24:30
Suberu. So you two are a brother and sister huh, And Hitaro says,
24:34
yes, my big sister, and I will do our and then Mimi
24:37
cuts him off and says, when Mimi and Hitaro are together, we're the
24:41
strongest, and the captain's also here, so we're the super strongest. And
24:47
she gets like really excited and she starts like moving around on her wolf and
24:52
then she kind of falls back and Hititaro catches her and he's like, my
24:56
sister and the captain tend to be kind of hasty, so I usually give
24:59
you your Super's like, I see that that must be rough, And then
25:03
Ricardo rides up from the opposite side and he's like, what's the matter,
25:07
bro, you look so gloomy, and Supers like, who's fault is that
25:11
a captain shouldn't make trouble for his men? Like he even was in on
25:15
the conversation. Whatever doesn't matter because Ricardo's not really paying attention and he's just
25:18
like, Hey, that's a nice grounddragon you got there, and Super is
25:22
like, it is I borrowed this one because it seemed to like me.
25:26
But come to think of it, the ones you guys ride look kind of
25:29
different. They're not even ground dragon, Super, they're literally wolves. Of
25:33
course they look different, and so Ricardo explains that they're called rygars, but
25:37
they're like not really common around there, and it's like super weird because Ricardo
25:44
is basically a wolf standing up wolf that talks, and this wolf is just
25:48
a really big wolf that isn't standing up and doesn't talk, so it's a
25:53
little bit strange to have a wolf riding another wolf. It's kind of weird.
26:00
Anyway, Ricardo says, Dane as strong as ground dragons, but they're
26:03
more agile. If it comes to a brawl with the White whale, that's
26:07
where they'll really shine. So watch close, and Subro kind of looks behind
26:12
them, and he sees that there are lots of these ryegar things that are
26:18
big wolves, and they're all pulling like slays for some reason, like not
26:22
carriages like slays, which I'm thinking it's not a great idea because the terrain
26:26
is not snowy or anything or icy, and it looks like they're wood,
26:32
so I'm gonna assume like it's not good, like this is gonna splinter the
26:34
wood and it's all gonna fall apart. But whatever, they probably know what
26:37
they're doing better than I do. So anyway, Subro is like, shouldn't
26:41
you have ground dragons pull up the cargo? Then I agree, and Ricardo
26:47
says, we had to manage our luggage on our own. If you think
26:49
the white whale is our only enemy, you get the rug pulled out from
26:52
under you. Subro kind of thinks about the witches called and beetlejuice, and
26:57
then Ricardo says, ain't no guarantee we won't run into some thieves on the
27:03
road after all, and Suber's like, if anyone's got the guts to take
27:07
on a folding arm group like this, they probably wouldn't settle for being thieves.
27:11
He's right, and Ricardo's like, good point, and he like laughs,
27:14
and then he kind of rides further up to talk to some other like
27:17
knights and people, and Rahm's like, looks like Ricardo's trying to ease everyone's
27:22
nerves, and Subro just doesn't say anything to that, and she's like Subaru
27:27
and there's kind of a pause, and then Subaru kind of like chuckles,
27:30
and he's like, I thought I prepared myself for this. You can tell
27:34
the hero inside to awaken, but it really isn't as easy as it sounds.
27:40
And they are just kind of riding off into the sunset and we see
27:44
the tree in the distance and now it's night and they've stopped at the base
27:48
of the tree and Suber's like, wow, it's huge, and Rehm says,
27:53
you sound happy, and Subaru kind of like laughs and pats the tree
27:57
and it's like, oh, it looks so people carve their names into the
28:00
trunk. We aren't on some kind of field trip that's bad manners. M
28:06
get me a chisel, and Rim is like, even you should know that
28:10
that'll get you in trouble with me for starters, And then she's like,
28:15
so the white Whale is coming here, So just a quick pause. I've
28:19
abbreviated white whale to WW and it's confusing the hell out of me every time
28:23
I see it now, So that was stupid anyway. So Ram says,
28:29
so the WW is coming here. Honestly, I'm opposed to using the witches
28:33
scent to draw it here. It's too dangerous. Super is like, I'll
28:37
use whatever I can if it gives us even a slightly better chance of winning.
28:42
It's worth it. For a guy who lacks in every way, I
28:45
can only compensate with this method. Ram kind of looks upset, but then
28:51
she says, you're wonderful, Super, and Suber smiles, and he takes
28:55
out his phone to check the time, and it says that it is twelve
28:57
nineteen. Remember the time that he saw his phone in the last loop was
29:03
thirteen fifteen. So we're coming up on it. We're like an hour away.
29:07
And Rem says, that'll tell you the time that the whale is coming,
29:12
and Super is like, yeah, I said it to make noise when
29:15
it's time to be honest without this, and Rem cuts them off and it's
29:19
like that's a lie, and Suber looks shocked and it's like, what are
29:25
you saying? If this is a lie, then how am I gonna?
29:27
And Rum's like you're speaking in something like Kararagi dialect and it doesn't suit you
29:32
at all, and Super's like, no, no, no, I mean,
29:34
there's no way I could be lying, even Cruse said, and Rum's
29:37
like it's okay, SUPERU. I can always tell when you're lying. I
29:41
also know that you can't tell me why you do so, so there's no
29:45
need to continue to wrap everything and lies or try to blame yourself like that,
29:48
because I have complete faith in you. And then she smiles and yeah,
29:53
I really like Rem. She's really great. She's like super perceptive.
29:59
So yeah. Suber, though, looks like he's holding back tears and he
30:04
kind of looks away from Rem and up at the tree and says, man,
30:07
looking at this tree really fires you up, huh. And M's like
30:11
yeah it does. And Super is like, if I don't look at it
30:14
for a long time, I won't relax. I won't be able to look
30:17
down for a while. And Rum's like okay, And then Suber says,
30:22
I should say thank you instead of sorry right now. Huh. And we
30:26
see that he's smiling with his tears in his eyes, and rem says,
30:30
you're welcome. Besides, I'm far more grateful to you, so we're even.
30:37
So then they're like walking just kind of around, and they see Wilhelm
30:41
standing by like a little patch of yellow flowers, and they're like coming up
30:45
behind him. So Suber is like, uh, Wilhelm, I heard a
30:48
bit of the story from Felix that you've been seeking revenge on the white whale
30:52
ever since it took your wife. And Wilhelm's like, please forget that.
30:57
It was all time idly spent on an old man's delusions. And Ram's like,
31:03
you truly love your wife? Correct, And Wilhelm says, yes,
31:08
I love my wife more than anyone, and no matter how much time passes,
31:15
my wife was a woman who loved to look at flowers. She never
31:18
wished to wield the sword, but the sword loved her more than anyone.
31:22
I think the sword is an anatomant object. But okay, with no choice
31:26
but to live for the sword. She accepted her fate when I married her.
31:30
I took it from her, forcing her to abandon the title of master
31:33
Swordsmen. But the sword would not allow her to do that. What,
31:40
Suberu, thank you again. In this battle, I can find answers in
31:44
my own sword. What and perhaps finally be able to visit my wife's grave
31:48
at last, I can go see her. Jesus, dude, I'm sure
31:52
she would have wanted you to go see her grave. I'm sorry that you
31:56
feel I don't know, responsible, or like you're not good in but like
32:00
fucking that's not a reason to leave someone alone in their grave if you believe
32:05
that they're actually there in the ground. I don't know whatever. So Subu
32:12
walks closer to Wilhelm and he puts out his fists and he's like, let's
32:15
work together to beat the hell out of that damn whale. I'll help with
32:20
everything I have to. And then they fist bump. I didn't even know
32:23
that they knew how to do that in this universe, but they do.
32:28
And then we kind of go to a pretty wide shot of the tree and
32:31
everybody waiting and Crush is like only a short time remains, and everybody is
32:37
standing information and it's quiet as everybody kind of gets themselves prepared for the battle
32:45
ahead, and then we hear the eight bit ring tone that Subru has set
32:50
for his alarm begin to play, and Krush looks to Subru and is like,
32:53
troops be on guard. And at this point, the end credits start
32:58
up, so we know we're not gonna have the ending theme, and everyone's
33:00
like looking around trying to see where the white whale could be, and the
33:04
ringtone is just continuing to play, like you know, you have to stop
33:07
an alarm for it to actually stop playing, and he just hasn't for some
33:10
reason. He's just letting her go, so it just keeps ringing, and
33:15
some guy's like, I don't see it, and people are all starting to
33:19
talk to each other and wonder like where is the white whale, Like what's
33:22
going on? It's supposed to come when the tone plays, and Krush looks
33:25
to Subro and she thinks it isn't coming, and then some guy is like,
33:31
is that any points and Crush turns in horror and don't forget. The
33:37
ringtone is still playing, and they're all looking in the sky and at this
33:44
point, the image kind of starts to like glitch, and so does the
33:47
ring tone. I think, you know, it's just kind of dramatic flair.
33:51
It's not really happening. But they look up and the white whale is
33:54
there in the sky as the ring tone plays, and it swoops down at
34:00
them, and Crush is like troops, and then Suber's like, let's have
34:05
it, and m says ah cuma or something, and she shoots ice at
34:09
the big giant whale. You know, it's a big whale and the ice
34:13
pretty small, but it does hid into its spelly and it bleeds and the
34:16
blood comes down. And then Krushe realizes that Subru and Ram are kind of
34:22
riding off ahead, and she smiles and takes a deep breath and says,
34:25
troops, follow those two fools, and everybody takes off, and then we
34:30
have the title card, which says battle against the White Whale, and that's
34:37
it. So closing thoughts, Yeah, this is a pretty good setup episode.
34:42
You know, we didn't have that much action until the right at the
34:45
very end. But Subru is using everything he learned, especially in the last
34:50
sloop where everybody was super mean to him. He's using those things that he
34:57
learned to make this beat and to negotiate with all of these people. Thank
35:01
god he didn't try to negotiate with Priscilla, you know, the person in
35:06
bread who wanted him to lick her foot. I don't like her. I
35:09
think she doesn't really care about anybody but herself, so it was probably a
35:13
good idea to leave her out. But the other two, Krush and Anastasia,
35:16
are very level headed people and they just needed the right incentive. And
35:22
he was really smart to think about using the white whale's position to bargain with
35:29
them. So that's pretty cool. And hopefully after they do this and they
35:36
kill the white whale, they can save Amelia because they should be able to
35:39
now because Krush and all of her army people or whatever she has, they're
35:45
partnered with Supermom now, so hopefully this will be the time that you know,
35:51
Amelia and everybody doesn't die. Maybe. Yeah, So it was good.
35:57
It was nice to see Subaru kind of coming into his own and using
36:00
his brain to figure out how to move forward, because you know, his
36:07
life is really scary right now and he has to like be calm and think
36:12
about what's best. And I'm glad to see him doing that, and I'm
36:15
glad that rem is there to help him, because yeah, I don't think
36:19
he could do it totally by himself. So yeah, I assume next time
36:23
we will see the battle with the white whale, which will be good and
36:29
kind of scary. I mean not for me, but it would be scary
36:31
for them because the white whale is like the size of like a ocean liner
36:37
or like a really big whale, which makes sense because it's a whale,
36:39
so it's gonna be real hard to kill it, I would think. But
36:44
yeah, we'll see how they do it in the next episode. So thank
36:51
you for listening, really really thank you, whoever you are. I don't
36:55
deserve you listening like you are so nice to me for no really good reason,
37:04
and I appreciate it. So yeah, I hope you have a really
37:07
good whatever. And again, if it's uh Hanukkah when you're listening to this,
37:13
happy last day of Honkah. If not, sorry, and uh yeah,
37:17
I'll see it. Bye bye,
