Makes me wonder if Subaru FINALLY gets a real battle upgrade. Ofc, there's the risk of falling into typical shounen traps where the hero too quickly gets to strong, and where past strengths of the writing get lost, because they're replaced by simple fighting. But with how much time is spent on Subaru himself saying how weak he is, he really ought to get stronger. Personally, I'd still favor a "training arc" where he trains under Wilhelm and kills himself like a 10000 times to have all the time in the world to get stronger. Ofc, that would need to be justified by a very strong reasoning, because suicide shouldn't lose its terror.
