I really hope the author removes Subaru's 2nd death in Arc 5 from the Light Novels since it's honestly one of the most unnecessary deaths he's ever had. It wouldn't hold up well in an anime format especially. Honestly it goes against the logic that he has matured after a whole year if he makes the stupid mistake of not going to face Sirius without any backup. I'd much rather have Subaru learnings about Wrath's ability be a part of the Reinhard death (Essentially combining Death #2 and #3 together, meaning Arc 5 has only 2 total deaths).

Subaru RBD shouldn't be reduced to just being a 'save point and try again' mechanism but should be kept within the story like it has been for previous arcs - as a way to demonstrate something insightful and meaningful ideas / develop Subaru's character more. I'm fairly certain Tappei will make some edits like this cos that's what he did for Arc 4 (i.e. Making Emilia more knowledgeable and strong in the LN rather than clueless and a almost 'damsel in distress' in the WN).
