Great job ruining a serious battle with some gimmick meme-punching, sigh. Typical modern anime-moment when Emilie Jojo'd Regulus against the pillar, meh.

And I still don't know why Regulus was superstrong.

He's clearly not dead, otherwise that final scene of his would make no sense, something has been happening. But apparently not immediately, because Subaru and Emilia have returned to the church already.

IF that was the end of Regulus, it would be a pretty mild defeat anyway compared to Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse was more of an intimate villain, whereas Regulus caused tragedy of varous kind to so many people, including his "wives". I would have expected a more severe punishment for him.

And now I can't help but wonder if he actually had sex with all his wives, considering he cared about them being virgins. On one hand I wanna say no, because he wanted to preserve them in utmost purity, similar to the "no smiling"-rule of his. On the other hand, since he put so much emphasis on them being his "wives", a defining core trait of "wife" is that the husband had sex with her. No sex, no marriage. Wedding night and all. I guess I'm just curious whether he's a rapist on top of being a murderer.

Not a fan of the remaining episodes showing us the other battles, kinda anticlimatic. Sure, will give us neat animation, but still.

I really hope something big happens in the last 2-3 episodes that sets up the FINAL arc of Subaru's adventure for the next season. And holy fuck, if this season doesn't end with Emilia either sharing a wet french kiss with Subaru or/and officially starting to date him, I'm gonna start hating her. He more than deserves some romantic recognition at this point, Emilia!
