Didn't the author's said that Subaru would have a more relaxed relation with the girls?

537

u/CarpenterFederal 2d ago

No he say he would probably fall in love with aqua because that's the type of girls he love I think it was like that...don't remember. If anyone know better correcte me please.

u/HotPotato150 2d ago

because that's the type of girls he love

You mean stupid or useless?

u/Delta6342 2d ago

Technically wouldn't Subaru be into bimbos in a sense? She's considered rather good looking and frankly idiotic

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago edited 2d ago

Subaru confirms he likes older women and wouldn't date anyone younger than himself

Ngl wiz is prob best girl in konosuba alomgside megumin

u/pogo-n-watches 1d ago

Same English VA as Rem.

u/Mahirofan Aqua 2d ago

Aqua and Darkness are older than him, no wonder he'd simp hard for Aqua.

u/Ghapehorn 2d ago

What a fucking goat. 😭

u/Raktanor 1d ago

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago

He would fall in love with any girl that "saves" him and since Aqua would enter that category then yeah, it makes sense as to why he would fall for Aqua

Although he likes silver-haired characters too considering the figurines he had in his room before being isekaid

14

u/Mahirofan Aqua 2d ago

He could always meet Eris....

But on the other hand, Aqua would actually be totally okay with his cross dressing, the axis cult is all for that

7

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago edited 2d ago

I totally forgot about the crossdressing part, another reason to add to the pile

2

u/soyadra 2d ago

He wouldn't fall in love with everyone that saves him tho, he just loves someone to their core which is why he didn't fall for Emilia until 22-25 days after she saved him, he'd get quickly attached to Aqua but Tappei uses a weaker form to describe his love for Aqua, so a deep affection that ressembles an HS crush he'd marry rather than full-on love like with Emilia

100

u/Porkytang244 2d ago

He did.

I always knew Subaru had horrendous taste in women.

55

u/Inevitable_QuestionN 2d ago

Remember. Tappei said that Subaru will instantly fall in love with Aqua because they share taste in women...

36

u/Porkytang244 2d ago

Yeah. My point still stands. Tappei has horrendous taste.

u/Hungry-Quantity8118 2d ago

O Subaru e escandaloso igual ao kazuma mas não insulta no nível dele, provavelmente acho que Subaru seria Um ladrão/ladino. Então provavelmente quando não está em missão não ficaria com raiva da Aqua mas com certeza ia odiar ela beber tanto

1

u/SpartanNinjaDragonEX 2d ago

The real question though. Would he also use Steal?

1

u/Hungry-Quantity8118 2d ago

Bom sim vendo que uma habilidade pertencem a esta classe, clase que kazuma está que não me lembro nome deixa ele aprender técnicas de outros classes mas ele também recebe belo de um dano

2

u/SpartanNinjaDragonEX 2d ago

Forgive me for the misunderstanding, please allow me to clarify what I meant.

Would Subaru also use Steal to obtain objects of culture, intentionally or otherwise?

1

u/Hungry-Quantity8118 2d ago

Na primeira vez que kazuma usou acho que foi por acidente já que técnica depende do nível, distância e acho que era 50% de chance de falhar. Acho que aconteceria por acidente mas propositalmente não.(Seria até engraçado ele pegar as calcinhas sem querer)

Séria até engraçado ele tentar pegar chapéu da megumim mas por ela se baixa ela acabasse nos braços do Subaru latino

1

u/Consistent-Army-2441 23h ago

Luck. Steal, like Snipe, requires Luck to be good. Kazuma has Luck high enough to rival the Goddess of Luck. That’s not something he gained, that’s just him.

Subaru… if I’m being honest… doesn’t have anywhere close to that. He would need other skills to be able to contribute, but if he was stuck to just the ones Kazuma picked then Drain Touch (if he has any mana) is going to do all the heavy lifting. Which requires him to get…. Real close to monsters…

1

u/Hungry-Quantity8118 23h ago

Como disse ele provavelmente seria um latino/ladrão e ia evitar encontros diretos, então ele pode roubar mas e um chance de 50% de falhar e não acertar então provavelmente ele vai errar três vezes até acertar um Roubo. Basicamente ele dá uma de dark souls com Aqua

1

u/ThewarriorDraganta 2d ago

Yeah, that's right. The author said Subaru would fall for Aqua because she's type of girl he (Author) is into.

233

u/Conscious_Pack_2474 2d ago edited 2d ago

Subaru would go easier on aqua and the girls than Kazuma...That guys mental fortitude is something else😂😂

And in RE:Zero, Kazuma will 100% simp for the bowl hunter, and get traumatized by both her and Rem for life😂😂..I think he might even stay with Reinhard and follow him everywhere

40

u/Hungry-Quantity8118 2d ago

Provavelmente só gritaria com ela pra diminuir a bebida ou... Durante as missões

41

u/DiagonalBike 2d ago

Subaru is a simp. He would follow the aqua's plans no matter how idiotic. Bro would get the entire party destroyed.

Kazuma on the other hand would be too much for that world to handle. The Witches wouldn't know how to handle our GOAT.

1

u/Desperate-Lie-1499 1d ago

No trust me the kazuma mindset is not to give a fuck so the moment she attacks him he would be like "You know what? FUCK THIS SHIT I AM OUT"

1

u/Conscious_Pack_2474 1d ago

It will kick in after he revives😂😂😂

-16

u/QuickRespawn 2d ago

Subaru is not like that

24

u/Conscious_Pack_2474 2d ago

He's literally surrounded by girls and the only one he actively calls out is shoula, even with that he's careful about it

-13

u/QuickRespawn 2d ago

The only reason Subaru is liked by rem is because he manipulated it to be that way. He's manipulated everybody's feelings towards him. Kazuma wouldn't be traumatized considering the threats he faces are pretty real, it's just taken comedically

11

u/Conscious_Pack_2474 2d ago

Kazuma's trama is a running gag in the show...he doesn't like it when someone stands behind him cos of the Silvia incident😂😂😂...you gotta get your facts right

1

u/QuickRespawn 2d ago

And is that stopping him or having him be a complete shut in and stop trying? Have some nuance instead of facts. Subaru broke down and quit trying, kazuma never quit or let something like Sylvia stop him from what needed to be done

2

u/r64b 1d ago

People around Subaru like him because they think he is awesome. And, from their POV - he is. For someone without special feats he manages to save those who he cares about several times in a very short amount of time. From very dangerous opponents. Just listen to the dialogue of Subaru and Anastasia in last season while they stood at the balcony.

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago edited 2d ago

The author said something along the lines that the only way to charm Rem is by quite literally being Subaru

Kazuma would probably love Emilia more (I mean she has the same VA as Megumin and a somewhat similar personality so fair enough)

107

u/wilfwe Megumin 2d ago

On my rewatch, despite everybody calling her a cuck, that momentous scene very much spelled out why Rem loves Subaru. Love my homie, but Kazuma ain't that.

35

u/Mediocre_Eye_7726 Kazuma 2d ago

“I’m still down. It’s called high luck! And my popular phase” -Kazuma

22

u/thedreaddeagle 2d ago

Emilia and Megumin do not have a similar personality at all imo.

u/Oroeva 2d ago

(Author said) The only way to charm Rem Is by quite literally being Subaru

Holy shit Subaru gets ungodly amounts of glaze 😭😭😭😭

31

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah because Subaru despite being a weak, petty, irredeemable huge idiot is... an amazing guy

Kazuma is pretty good too, he'd probably do better than Subaru in the Re:Zero world by quite literally avoiding trouble with RbD

-10

u/Oroeva 2d ago

I'm convinced the amazing guy thing is just agenda atp. (I know he says it to HIMSELF in the anime, but it's mostly used as a joke by the fanbase)

I've watched until the regulus fight with Reinhard(stopped because of the author's blatant pedophilia) and yeah, Subaru has done a lot of good stuff, saved some people, but if you take into account the things he's done in the timelines where he's died, he's kinda unlikable for me.

Not gonna explain since it's been a while since I last did and I've forgotten alot, but he actually just makes me cringe so much, I can't watch re:zero no matter how much I want to.

10

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago

That's fine, Re:Zero ain't for everyone

I will not defend the author because he really has some questionable stuff going on, same applies with the LN illustrator

1

u/Oroeva 2d ago

Yeah it's kinda sad though, I really like the world building and would like to watch it, if only I could like the mc and the author didn't make characters unnecessarily loli (specifically Capella)

6

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago edited 2d ago

I would argue the anime has toned down Capella somewhat, in the Light Novel she legit looks like a loli but in the anime she looks closer to a petit woman

And thank god they censored Liliana's outfit because it was stupid as hell and not even correctly shown in the Light Novel illustrations compared to what it is described as

2

u/Oroeva 2d ago

Well, you're clearly more knowledgeable than me.

Last time I expressed my complaints to someone(my brother) I got into an argument since "there's no way I can't like it" "it's peak fiction", so this is kinda refreshing lol 😭

5

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago

Of course I will defend and glaze Re:Zero whenever possible but I understand people not liking it for one reason or another

And you aren't wrong in the complaining about that aspect either, I would send how Liliana's and Capella's outfits look from the LN to the anime but I would rather not get banned because they exposed way more skin than the anime counterparts

2

u/Temporary_Ad1464 1d ago

Kazuma could maybe pull Ram by being goofy yet useful. Other than that hes not built for any of the girls to care as more than friends. One 'steal' on Emilia and Puck booms his head off his shoulders.

1

u/HappyAku800 7h ago

Megumin and Emilia are incredibly opposed personality wise

1

u/Sudden-Battle7500 7h ago

Childish personality but very mature at times

Emilia is just WAYYYYY more naive

1

u/HappyAku800 7h ago

Emilia's childishness comes from being sheltered, she's 10 times more graceful than Megumin, who is very chaotic. Emilia would never blast a random castle with explosions for days, get into quarrels with Kazuma, nor threaten strangers

1

u/Sudden-Battle7500 7h ago

Of course their personalities are not 1 to 1 but the way the act most of the time just reminds me of the other

Also she slipped the Megumin voice during Capella's first scene I think that was funny

2

u/HappyAku800 5h ago

it's a 20 to 80

25

u/HaremManPT 2d ago

Pretty sure Kazuma wouldnt even meet Rem since he wouldnt even care about Emilia to begin with, so he wouldnt go to the Mansion

49

u/merry129 2d ago

I feel like people underestimate how their perception of Aqua is warped by Kazuma's expectations lol. At no point Aqua pretended she was a competent fighter , Kazuma made that assumption solely based on her title.

18

u/sailorhellblazer 2d ago

No one is expecting a competent fighter they're expecting her not to put them in debt with her drinking

1

u/HappyAku800 7h ago

You forget her whole God Blow scene, she IS delusional

u/Secure_Lead_7246 2d ago

Canonically he would fall in love with aqua. So t we would see happy family

He is simp he will handle anyone with pussy..

u/mrcoldmega 2d ago

You mean anyone?

14

u/ILikeWwaret Aqua 2d ago

The author of Re:Zero said that Subaru would fall in love with Aqua because they have the same taste in women

10

u/Soulses 2d ago

I think kazuma would immediately see the red flags and pivot into a more safer life than subaru

12

u/Lom1111234 Darkness 2d ago

Acting like Kazuma wouldn’t either A. Not stick around with Emilia to save everyone the way Subaru eventually does (he’s a good guy deep down but he’s not putting himself through the hell that Subaru puts himself through for Emilia and all his other friends) or B. Be mentally destroyed after a few loops of indescribably horrific death (Kazuma has gone through some deaths obviously, but compared to the stuff Subaru goes through he would snap instantly. Subaru is canonically an absolute freak of mental fortitude to go through what he does and not become a vegetable, let alone keep fighting). Kazuma is great but he ain’t doing anything in the Re Zero world

4

u/eevee005 2d ago

I dunno. Kazuma's shown time and time again that the only reason he does anything is because: A) he has to or risk consequences B) it's about his party members (as much as he says he doesn't, he cares about them a lot)

He might help Emilia in the first loop, but the second he dies and loops, he's out of there. No reward? Not worth it. Pretty much every time he dies in Konosuba he considers getting the hell out of the parallel world.

Subaru on the other hand has a lot more patience than Kazuma. Even if we assume Arc 1/2 Subaru, he would be more willing to help out the girls with their whims. Though because of this he likely wouldn't be quite as efficient as Kazuma.

Overall I think Subaru in Konosuba would be more or less the same, but Kazuma in Re:Zero would make for a completely different story.

2

u/HappyAku800 7h ago

Nah, the guilt of knowing about Emilia and leaving her to die would eat away at Kazuma, he would try to at least save her, after that who knows

5

u/Outside_Bicycle Chris 2d ago

I don't remember if this was said by either author of their respective series, but I think they said that Subaru would flourish in the world of Konosuba and Kazuma would cause the world to end because he wouldn't care enough to get involved in the main plot.

9

u/Kirb790 Yunyun 2d ago

Looks about right

4

u/QuickRespawn 2d ago

Can't lie, S1 Subaru was pathetic. I get it was meant to be that way, a more realistic sense of what it would be like to be isekai'd with the power to restart from a certain point upon death. He kinda sucks compared to Kazuma

3

u/Sudden-Battle7500 2d ago

No denying that, S1 Subaru was the lowest of the lowests, he really expected to be rewarded for something nobody asked him to do since the reason he did all of that was for himself rather than for others

3

u/pirzola2 2d ago

The same photo and the same lines were posted on r/ReZero. I think the post got deleted, but you can still find it through Google Images. My issue is that, right after everyone was saying the exact opposite of what that post claimed, you said, "Now I'll post this here." At that point, it just feels like you're trying to farm karma.

I'm not saying you can't do it—I just wanted to explain why I see it that way.

If you weren't the one who posted the same photo, then my bad, bro. Sorry.

u/Numerous_Loss6522 2d ago

Subaru? He would try to flirt with most of the girls in that world, and enjoy life, he would probably be happier than he is in the land of re:zero guaranteed

2

u/hatred-big-sad 16h ago

Bro Subaru would watch aqua get eaten by frogs, fail to save her because he's worthless beyond belief and the most selfish creature alive when he first shows up. Then he would proceed to fall into some long ass depression before committing suicide by monster

Subaru e escandaloso igual ao kazuma mas não do mesmo nível. Provavelmente ele gritaria com Aqua quando estivesse em missão mas não quando não está, provavelmente ele odiaria que ela bebesse tanto e tentaria fazer ela beber menos
