I guess that because of the cultists and, the witches like Satella, I have the sensation of seeing that style of creating something that is unknown at the same time terrifying, in the children book is said: “A scary witch, a truly terrifying witch. To even speak her name would chill you to the bone. Everybody referred to her as... the Witch of Envy.„ so, I really guess that this is Lovecraftian description of fear, because at the point that this is presented to us in the light novel we yet not knew nothing about the witch, and Emilia looks extremely beautiful to us, how something that looks like Emilia can be "scary"? that passes the Idea of fear to me, and the other reason is about the cultists, who has read some work of H.P Lovecraft know that cultism is a relevant characteristic inside the Lovecraftian universe, for example in the Call of Cthulhu, in Cthulhu Mythos we have the cultists, various cults that appear in the series that adore Cthulhu, but not only Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and the idiot god Azathot have cults also, and various of its cultists are crazy just like the cultists of the witch besides the fact of the authorities can take someone, that is not compatible with, to the craziness and craziness is something that is common in the Lovecraftian tales because of that characteristics I guess, not think, I guess, that Tappei Nagatsuki has read something ligated with the Lovecraftian universe or have some reference with, because its too much coincidences to me.

I know usually i'm the one answering questions but for this one I need your help. Do you think subaru will save everyone he loves? Also I don't know if you have heard but, return by death will stop when subaru or satella gets what they really want. It's called THEIR END GOAL for some reason. When and what do you think their end goal will be? That is why in the IF stories whenever subaru dies, he will go back to the point where he made the mistake he shouldn't have because he has to complete the goal he set in the beginning of the series. For example in Sloth IF, when subaru dies in that timeline he will go back to when he wanted to run away with rem on that rooftop that one sunny day. That's all for now.
Satella is the most innocent of the witches change my mind I’ll wait

So I've been thinking about it since last week after Pandora re-named Guese to Petelguese when he absorbed the Witch Factors. Based on that and the fact that when Satella joined Echidna's TP, Typhon called her Tella (or Terra).
----START OF THEORY----
1) Terra in Roman myths is Mother Earth. So let's say Satella's true name was Terra and after she absorbed the Witch Factors, Pandora named her Satella (Saterra).
Sa as an Egyptian hieroglyph means "Protection". As we know, she was incompatible with those factors and nearly covered the world with her shadows. So maybe that "Sa" implies that the WoE tried to "Protect" the world (earth) by covering it with her shadows.
2) Sa is also a chinese surname coming out of Semu. According to the Wikipedia, as a name, it meant "Assorted Categories" emphasizing the Ethnic Diversity between Semu people. And we know Satella is a half-human half-elf so the "Sa" gives emphasis on that fact.
----END OF THEORY----
About the 2) tbh in the beginning i thought of it as a way to like seperate Elves from everyone else since everyone hated Elves after what Satella did and they were forced to hide themselves. But it didn't really make sense with the word's meaning to me since it doesn't tend on racism. But correct me if i'm wrong.
Hope i didn't kill many of your brain cells (since i'm anime-only with a little extra knowledge from the Wiki) and i can't wait to see other people's opinion!! Have a good day!
Why does Satella loves Subaru so much? i like harem and all, and i can see her falling more in love with him as the story was going , but why did she chose him in the beginning?
We know from the arc 4 flashbacks that flugel and the witch cult were involved in emilia's birth some how. My guess is that they weren't just creating a vessel for satella, they were trying to seperate envy and satella. I think this experiment backfired horribly. Also, names are important in re zero right? Emilia means rival. Vainglory means progenitor of envy. I think emilia was the product of pandora messing up an attempt to destroy envy and retrieve satella. For all we know , pandora might have incited satella consuming envy
So it's just a theory. I was browsing MAL and saw that Satella is portrayed by Rie Takahashi; the same voice for Emilia. Also, in the 2nd Season of RE:Zero, it seems Beatrice and knows who sloth is and seemed saddened over sloth's death. Also, Puck who is Emilia's spirit is connected to the witches because he was made by Echidna. It kinda points to Emilia actually being a witch.
Ok so, if Subaru's 'return to death' is simply jumping away from different failed timelines, that would mean that Satella also failed in those different timelines whenever Subaru dies or commit suicides. It would seem pointless to me for Satella to grant this power and for her to fail multiple times in several timelines.
And i don't like the existence of other timelines hahaha :((
This is just a random theory I came up with on the spot but what if Emilia is Satella's half-sister, it is probably incorrect but it seems plausible to me. Anyway, so the theory is that 400 years ago an elf and a human had Satella, obviously she went nuts and swallowed half the world but what if 300 years later (after Satella was sealed) the same elf had another child with another human (considering elves live for quite a long time this seems reasonable), so maybe the reason Satella and Emilia look similar is because they share the same mother/father (whatever one was an elf). I prefer this over the Satella is Emilia's mother theory but the theory stating that Emilia is Satella in the future just gone back in time would explain why they look exactly the same. Still I think my theory is interesting. (I have only read up to ch74 of arc 4)
There is much speculation on what the Authority of Envy can do, but nothing definitive has appeared. Satella has displayed great power, and while any of those could be related to Envy, what she can do most closely resembles Yin magic. From shadows, to affecting time, to breaking through dimensions, everything but Unseen Hands could be directly seen as use of Yin. And half of the world during her time was engulfed in shadow. What’s more, that shadow likely happened before she became the Witch of Envy. There are two things that point to this (imo). 1. Emilia’s first trial. As a child, Emilia discovered her vast mana, but when she started using it, was unable to control it. She froze Elior forest, and all within, for over a century. Satella, regarded as nearly Godlike, would have a far greater amount of mana. Enough to swallow half the world. 2. Beatrice. A Great Spirit, like Puck, created by Echidna, like Puck. And created for a purpose, but that purpose was not to guard the Archive (stated by the Echidna of the Trial during the last tea party). Taking the parallels of Emilia and Puck, an ice magic user of vast power and an ice spirit requiring vast mana, Beatrice too requires vast mana and, being a yin type, would be best suited for a yin mage. Her purpose, like Puck’s, was to provide mana control for someone who had too much to control. She was created for Satella. Shamak, as its more powerful versions are used, can also not only create shadows, but create dimensions, or break through to others. During that time, 400 years ago, is likely when Subaru was unintentionally pulled through, finding himself with Satella in an endless, lonely night that she didn’t know how to stop.
I know he has his loli patrol who all love him to bits, but why should Satella? Has Subaru done something that I'm missing out on?I know she asked him to kill her and she refused, but surely, that couldn't change how she loved him at the very start,when he had no connection to her, and she had no reason to love him.Can anyone give me answers? ;3;
So i've got a huge theory which places all the puzzle pieces on their right spot.
- Subaru is Flugel BECAUSE : It is highly implied and all those hints have to mean something with Subaru = Flugel. Even Shaula smelled him!!!! Also, this theory takes place during Arc 10-11, i think that subaru has at this point all the Witch Genes
- Emilia is Satella because they look identical and she does show a relationship with the Witch.
- 1. Subaru and Emilia go back in time somepoint and he gets back to a moment where Emilia takes the Witch Genes of Envy and becomes Satella. Losing all her memories and forgets her self because Subaru ate her memories with his Witch Genes of Gluttony
- 2.Then something Happends and Subaru has to leave Satella/Emilia for some reason for a time being.
- 2.5 Somewhere in the meantime when Subaru ate Emilia and inbetween he sealed her, Subaru met Petelgeuse and gave him the "Bones of Flugel" Which we're the Sloth Genes he had to give away for Some Reason.
- 3.Subaru then returns a time later along with Volcanica and Reid (which he recruited during Arc 10) and seals Satella because Satella started to become insane because she couldn't bear the pain of the Witch of Envy personality. Subaru/Flugel couldn't see Emilia/Satella suffer that much and sealed her.
- 4.5 This would explain why Satella loves him and maybe something happend between Flugel and the new Satella (amenestic Emilia)
- 5.Subaru then plants the Flugel Tree BECAUSE He knows he will need this tree for a fight against the Hakugei (Arc 3).
This would make a lot sense. :) THIS SERIOUSLY makes soooo much unexplained things better!
