Light of the Nameless Star (名も無き星の光, Na mo Haki Hoshi no Hikari) is the ninth arc of Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu. It is preceded by Arc 8, Vincent Vollachia, and followed by Arc 10. In the web novel, the first chapter of Arc 9 was released on July 22, 2024. It currently consists of thirteen chapters and one interlude in the web novel.
Contrary to popular belief, the arc has not been confirmed to center around the Felt Camp. In 2022,[1] the author indicated that the Felt Camp's spotlight would begin in Arc 10 (formerly Arc 9), although it is not known if these plans have been altered since then.
While no numbers were paired with the focus of later arcs, in 2022, the author confirmed that after Arc 7 (which was split into two arcs), the remaining arcs would have a spotlight on the Felt Camp, then the Crusch Camp, and lastly, all Royal Selection camps.[2]
As the original plan for Arc 7 changed and it was split into two separate arcs, it can be assumed that the author's original statements about Arc 8 now apply to Arc 9.
The author has said Arc 8 would have a situation where Subaru is unable to die in an unnamed battle.[3]However, this is not a confirmation that Subaru will be unable to utilize Return by Death in the midst of the unnamed battle.
It should be noted that in Arc 7, during the events of Volume 31, Subaru found himself in a situation where he thought he could not die. Furthermore, in a reply to the sourced comment above, a user suggested Subaru could put a poison in his teeth, something else that was seen in Volume 31. It is feasible that, rather than implementing this in a battle during Arc 9, the author instead chose to do this in the aforementioned Arc 7 volume.
As of February 13, 2014, Ton, Chin, and Kan were said to appear in Arc 8,[4] though due to this statement being over a decade old, it is feasible for this have been changed.
In 2014, the author claimed that Arc 8 had the feeling of urgency within it.[5]It should be noted that this is not the arc's theme.
According to the author, Arc 8 or Arc 9 will feature the scene he wants to write the most.[6]
On February 14, 2018, responding to a question asking which arc that Petra would “shine the brightest” in, the author concluded it would likely be Arc 8.[7]
