Re:Zero Episode 18

From Zero (ゼロから) is the eighteenth episode of the Re:Zero anime.

Plot
Upon Pack's arrival, the spirit issued a proclamation of death before raining down a barrage of icicles onto the members of the Witch Cult. Seeing this sight, Subaru called out Puck's name but the Spirit merely told him to shut up. At that moment, Petelgeuse attempted to crush Puck with his Unseen Hands. Thinking that he was successful, the madman mocked the spirit's sloth for not killing him immediately. However, Puck easily breaks free from the restraints, unleashing his true form in the process as a harsh blizzard engulfed the surroundings. Now towering over the both of them, Pack declared that Petelguese would need at least a thousand hands to kill him, half of what Satella could achieve.

As he began to freeze an shatter Petelguese's body, the madman proclaimed his faith to Witch of Envy and how he eagerly looked forward to their reunion. Now turning his attention to Subaru, Pack mentioned to him that he had committed three sins; the first was breaking his promise with Emilia, the second was returning to the mansion against her wishes, and the third was that he killed her. Continuing on, Pack informed Subaru that he would destroy the world as stated in their contract, adding that Emilia was his entire reason for existing. Noticing that the fog was drawing closer, Pack stated that Gluttony, or rather now called the Hakugei, was approaching. As Subaru began to die from being frozen bit by bit, he began to hear the mad laughter of a man he hated, before realizing that it was coming from himself. As Subaru died lamenting his failures, Pack declared that he had been slothful.

Returning in front of Kadomon's store for the third time, Subaru pulled Rem aside as he continued running. After cooling down for a bit, Subaru apologized for his previous behavior, stating that he was feeling stressed so he skipped out on explaining. After saying that he had been bothering a lot of people with his contemplation and agony, Subaru remarked that he had finally found the solution to finally take care of everything. Reaching out his had, he asked Rem to run away with him.
