Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-

Natsuki Subaru is summoned to a parallel world on his way home from the convenience store. He's entranced at first by the fantasy world suddenly stretching before his eyes, but the cute girl he believes summoned him is nowhere to be found, and soon enough he's utterly lost. Then a gang of punks surrounds him, but he quickly learns that he doesn't have any of the powers that he thought all people transported to a parallel world should have. Just when he's about to be beaten senseless, a girl appears...

After being attacked by someone the first time, sliced open by Elsa the second time, and stabbed in the back by punks the third time, Subaru should have been dead, but found himself back where he started in the same parallel world every time. He finally realizes he's acquired the power to go back to the time and place he started from, which he calls "Return by Death." In hopes of changing the fate awaiting Felt, Satella, Old Man Rom, and himself, Subaru takes off for the fourth time.

Subaru attempts to buy the insignia from Felt and return it to Satella before Elsa arrives at the loot house... but Satella arrives before the negotiations are complete, and Elsa still attacks them.

After being badly wounded by Elsa, Subaru somehow survived and awoke in the mansion of Margrave Mathers, in the Kingdom of Lugunica.

Subaru now lives and works in Roswaal's mansion, working with Ram and Rem, and finally getting Emilia to agree to a date with him. But the day of their promised date never comes as Subaru keeps going back to the day he first awoke in the mansion. He's confused at the thought that he Returned by Death despite having no memory of experiencing anything deadly, but he's determined to repeat his previous actions up to the point of fulfilling his promise with Emilia.

Subaru's first day at the Roswaal mansion begins for the third time. The first time, he grew weak and died of unknown reasons in his sleep, and the second time, he was killed by an attacker. The sound of chains that he heard as he died the second time replays in his mind, waking him in a terrified, cold sweat. He has no idea what the killer is after, let alone who it is, so he makes a plan to leave the mansion on the fourth night and watch for the attack to happen.

Standing before Subaru is someone he never expected. The truth of the attacker's identity leaves him bewildered, and he feels everything crumbling around him as he dies yet again. Then, for the fourth time, he awakes on his first day at the Roswaal mansion. This time, the night of the fourth day passes without incident, and Subaru is stunned as he greets the morning of the fifth day... but then the situation takes an unexpected turn.

Subaru's first day in Roswaal's mansion begins for the fifth time. Determined to save everyone this time, he makes it a point to keep his best smile on his face in order to earn the trust of the mansion's staff. But although he works his hardest to make them like him, his body begins to have trouble keeping up with his heart's intentions. Soon Emilia is unable to bear the sight of him struggling any longer and takes an unexpected action...

The scattered pieces of the puzzle finally come together, and Subaru realizes for certain that the shaman who cursed him is in the village at the foot of the mountains. He heads there with Ram and Rem and makes sure all the villagers touch him so that he can find out, with Beatrice's help, who cast the curse. But the truth he finds is not what he expected, and he finds himself rushing toward the village again...

Subaru risked his life to save the children from a pack of Ulgarm, but he was so powerfully cursed that there could be no saving him. Even Beatrice is unable to undo the complex web of curses on him, and says he'll grow weak and die within half a day. The only way he can survive is if the entire Ulgarm pack is defeated, but time is not on his side. Subaru is ready to give up when he learns that Rem has gone into the forest by herself...

Knocked unconscious by Subaru's attack, Rem dreams of an event in her past that she and Ram would rather forget... a sin for which Rem feels she can never be forgiven. After waking up, she tells Subaru that she's just committed the same sin again. When the three of them are moments from being cornered by the Ulgarm pack, Subaru takes off to draw their attention so Ram and Rem can escape.

At the order of the council of elders that manages Lugunica in the king's absence, Wilhelm and Felis visit Roswaal's mansion as emissaries. Emilia is required in the imperial capital right away, so Subaru asks her to take him along. Emilia tells him this won't be a pleasure trip, but a push from Rem and Roswaal ends in her agreement, so Emilia and Subaru head to the capital. Now all of the candidates to be Lugunica's next king are gathered, and the royal selection is underway.

As Emilia joins Priscilla, Crusch, and Anastasia in a meeting of the royal selection participants, Reinhard enters the hall with Felt. According to a new prophecy seen on the Dragon Stone, there are five priestesses with the potential to be the kingdom's next ruler. Reinhard announces that Felt is the fifth priestess, meaning it's time to formally begin the royal selection, but Felt refuses to have any part in it.

"I just wanted to protect her. That feeling wasn't a lie. Where did I go wrong?" Rejected by the one who meant more to him than anything, Subaru is still unable to recognize that he may have done something irreversible. He then finds out that some disturbing movement has been detected within Roswaal's domain, where Emilia and the others are. He's certain that he can save them somehow, so in spite of Rem and Crusch's opposition, Subaru makes his way back to Emilia...

Upon returning to Roswaal's mansion, Subaru is greeted by an unbelievable sight and wails that this was not what he wanted to happen. Stricken with despair, everything before Subaru starts to go white as, finally, he hears a voice: "You were too late."

Subaru wakes up in front of the appa shop once again. Feeling boxed in on all sides due to his own lack of power to change the situation, he seeks the help of others. First, he seeks the help of Crush, who flatly declines any further involvement passed her contractual obligation of healing Subaru. His requests to Anastasia and Priscilla similarly go unanswered despite his pleas. Having wasted too much time, Subaru decides to at least try to get Emilia away from Roswaal's mansion as early as possible. He then takes a dragon car back home with Rem.

A mysterious figure appears before Subaru and his traveling companions. As the looming beast attacks with a deafening bellow amidst the darkness and fog, Rem determines that it will be too difficult to escape...

Subaru laments that he could not do anything or save anyone, and has no options left. Exhausted, he suddenly takes off running at full speed as if he's made a decision...

To save Emilia, Subaru approaches Crusch to negotiate the formation of an alliance. His terms are a bit difficult for Crusch to believe, but she can see that Subaru isn't lying.

Subaru has devoted everything he had, and done all he could do. His passion has captured Crusch's heart, as well as Anastasia's cooperation, and they all enter into the battle against the White Whale together.

Subaru and Rem are at a loss for words. The battle against the White Whale, which seemed to be going in their favor through attrition, suddenly took on completely different proportions. With their tactical superiority and advantage quickly dwindling, the combined forces all but get tangled up in the threads of despair. That's when Subaru decides to yell out his next move...

With the battle against the White Whale now over, the mercenary force setting up the blockade of the road comes back, Julius at the lead. His arrival gives rise to mixed feelings for Subaru, but after Julius sincerely thanks him for ridding the world of the monster, Subaru finds it in himself to apologize for his past behavior. The group now looks forward, ready to enter the Mathers domain...

The group is making its way in the Mathers domain when suddenly everyone but Subaru disappears and a strange, suffocating atmosphere seeps through the forest. He quickly figures out it is nothing but an illusion, and with help from Julius on the other side, dispels the barrier for everyone caught in it. However, arriving at the village doesn't make convincing the residents to evacuate easy. Time is running out, and the invisible hand of sloth makes its presence at the back of Subaru's mind more and more nefarious.

Subaru devises a new plan to correct the mistake of the blank letter sent to the manor, encourage the evacuation of the villagers and move Emilia away from her current location. With these preparations complete, he enacts the second part of his plan designed to cut off the Fingers before severing the Unseen Hand once and for all.

Emilia is hurriedly ushered to the capital along with the villagers under the orders of a mysterious benefactor while escorted by a rag-tag group of individuals from various and opposing factions. She has but one question on her mind: who could this man be and why would he go so far? Meanwhile, Subaru and Julius face off against the Archbishop of Sin Betelgeuse for the ultimate time. Unfortunately, he is very persistent even beyond death, belying his nature of Sloth. Subaru is relentlessly chased while he catches up to Emilia to save her one last time and answer her question.

Petelgeuse and the white whale are defeated. But suddenly all memory of Rem disappears after she is attacked by two new bishops of the Witch Cult. Once again, Subaru is faced with the difficult decision of having to repeat everything in order to save Rem.

When Subaru and the others return to the village, they find both village and Roswaal residence abandoned. Subaru looks for answers from Beatrice, who seems to know more than she wants to reveal.

After Subaru encounters the Witch of Greed, he, Emilia and Otto finally reach the sanctuary. But the situation there is quite different than expected.

Subaru wakes up in his bed in his parents' house. Here he must confront his past alongside his father and mother. What's it all about and how is Emilia, who has taken the test at the sanctuary?

The exam has been nasty for Emilia, while Subaru has passed it. But then Lord Roswaal invites him to a secret conversation.

Subaru wakes up again at the cemetery right after Emilia's test. He decides to return to the residence earlier than the last time. What will he find there? Does Frederica have anything to do with what happened there?

Subaru has been saved by Beatrice at the last moment, against his wishes. But in conversation with her, it becomes apparent that she has a unknown motive.

Subaru has been rescued from Garfiel's captivity by Otto. But before he escapes from the sanctuary, he has something to discuss with Roswaal.

After Subaru finally finds someone in Echidna to whom he can tell the truth about his respawning, he finds out what it is about the rabbits that ate him. Echidna gives him the chance to talk to the witch who created the white whale as well as the rabbits.

Surrounded by the shadow of the Witch of Envy, Garfiel and Subaru go on the attack. The witch intends to go to the residence of Roswaal and Subaru must prevent this at all costs.

Subaru is back at the residence to fight off the attack this time together with Beatrice. But more enemies show up than originally expected.

Subaru sees visions from a present he cannot have experienced. Then the Witch of Greed Echidna reveals her true intentions to him. Will Subaru accept her offer?

Satela, the Witch of Envy, has appeared in the dream world of Echidna. Confronted with all seven witches at once, Subaru must undergo a cruel experience. Will his determination to save the others stand unbroken?

After being convinced by Otto that he should rely on his friends, Subaru makes a risky bet with Roswaal that could be the key to saving the sanctuary and the residence.

Otto tries to stop Garfiel alone to buy Subaru more time to talk to Emilia. But Garfiel is not an opponent you can face alone so easily.

It comes to a showdown between Subaru and Garfiel. Can he defeat the incredibly strong half-man and bring him back to his senses?

Emilia, together with the witch Echidna, confronts her lost memories again in the trial. This time she is determined to persevere to the end. But some surprising characters appear in her memories.

While Shima tells the others about the memories of the original Lewes, Emilia learns more about what happened in her childhood.

In the trial, Emilia finally learns what led to the loss of her memories and to her sleeping in the ice for a long time. Meanwhile, Subaru turns to Roswaal with a new proposal.

The whole truth about the creation of the sanctuary comes to light. Armed with this information, Subaru tries to persuade Roswaal to give in. But Roswaal does not seem to want to give up so easily.

After the confrontation with Roswaal, Subaru leaves for the residence together with Otto and Garfiel. But what secret plan has Otto made up with Ram?

Garfiel, Frederica, Subaru and Otto desperately fight for survival in the residence. Meanwhile, Emilia faces the second trial.

While Garfiel fights Elsa in the residence, Ram and Puck face Roswaal. Can they overcome these superior opponents?

Emilia has survived the trial, but suddenly another disaster happens. Meanwhile, Subaru is still trying to rescue the reluctant Beatrice from the burning residence.

It comes to the final confrontation between Subaru, Emilia, Beatrice and one of the three great magic monsters, the Great Rabbit. Can they defeat the monsters and finally put an end to Roswaal's plan?

A year has passed since the battle at the Sanctuary, and Subaru has been spending fulfilling days united with Emilia's camp. However, his peaceful everyday life ends with the arrival of a single letter.

Subaru desperately tries to fend off the attack from Sin Archbishop Sirius. But then, other Archbishops appear...

After the incident in the main square, Priestella has fallen into chaos and Emilia has been kidnapped. Now it's up to Subaru and the others to rescue Emilia and the city.

Subaru and his comrades find themselves in a dire situation after the city was taken over by the Sin Archbishops. Now, they are devising a plan to first reclaim the city hall...

The attack on the city hall enters its second phase. Subaru and Crusch breach the interior, but there they are awaited by Capella, who has some sneaky tricks up her sleeve...

Bishop Regulus of the Seven Deadly Sins wants to force Emilia to marry him, even though he already has hundreds of wives. While he is having the wedding hall prepared, Subaru and the others are planning to rescue Emilia and reclaim the city...

Through a Witch's Cultist's conference mirror, Emilia tells Al where the Sin Archbishops are and asks him to protect Beatrice. Al relays Emilia's message to Subaru, and the gang begins to devise a strategy to win back the control towers.

Subaru and the others hold a meeting in the city hall to develop a strategy against the four Sin Archbishops. However, Emilia is slowly running out of time...

While the others deal with the other Archbishops, Subaru puts his plan to stop Regulus into action.

Subaru thinks long and hard about how Regulus's Authority should work...

Liliana gives the performance of her lifetime to help Priscilla defeat the Sin Archbishop of Lust.

Emilia seeks the aid of Regulus's wives in dethroning the little king once and for all.

Capella uses Al's admiration for Priscilla against him, and Garfiel fights the legendary "Eight-Arms" Kurgan.

Wilhelm finds himself face to face with his beloved wife who died years ago.

While battling Lye Batenkaitos, Otto discovers the secret to the Sin Archbishop's power.

Otto and Beatrice battle Gluttony, the last of the Sin Archbishops terrorizing Priestella.

Subaru sets out for the Pleiades Watchtower in hopes of saving his friends and the people of Priestella.

Subaru and company struggle to cross the Auguria Dunes on the way to the Pleiades Watchtower.

The party is separated just before reaching the Pleiades Watchtower. Subaru awakens to find he's underground.
