What to expect in Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 1?
Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 1 will be titled Theatrical Malice, as per the anime’s official website. A year has passed since the battle at the Sanctuary, and Subaru, along with the Emilia Camp, have their tranquil days come to an abrupt end with the arrival of a letter.
Delivered by Joshua and Mimi, who act as emissaries for Anastasia, the letter contains an invitation to the Watergate City of Pristella. It reveals that a merchant in Pristella possesses a magical crystal that Emilia has been searching for — a potential new vessel for Puck.
Subaru, Emilia, and their companions will journey to Pristella in Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 1, only to be greeted by familiar faces and new dangers. The looming threat of the Witch Cult will also resurface, with its Sin Archbishops preparing for a major assault on the city.

Re:Zero Season 2 recap
Re:Zero Season 2 saw Subaru return to Crusch’s manor after defeating the Witch Cult, only to discover that Rem has been forgotten by everyone except him. Her existence was consumed by the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, Lye Batenkaitos, and she falls into a coma.
Subaru tried to reverse this by dying and resetting, but failed. He and Emilia then travelled to Roswaal's manor and were redirected to the Sanctuary, a place locked by a magical barrier. There, Emilia had to undergo trials to lift the barrier, but struggled emotionally.
Subaru also faced his own demons during the trials and learned more about the Witches of Sin. Meanwhile, Roswaal manipulated events, aiming to make Subaru the hero in Re:Zero Season 2, while Elsa Granhiert threatened the mansion.
Subaru died and reset several times, uncovering the truths about the Sanctuary’s elder, Ryuzu, and her clones, who were part of an experiment by the Witch of Greed, Echidna. Throughout the season, Subaru navigated betrayals, the trials, and emotional challenges.
He encouraged Emilia through her insecurities, leading to breakthroughs for both of them. Re:Zero Season 2 concluded with Emilia completing the trial, defeating the Great Rabbit with Beatrice’s help, and Subaru solidifying his relationships, while Roswaal hinted at future plans involving the Witch of Greed.
