@satella0900aaaa: In Arc 6 (Pleiades Watchtower) of Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, the encounter between Reid Astrea—the legendary First Sword Saint and guardian of the Second Trial on the Electra floor—and Subaru Natsuki is one of the most brutally one-sided yet narratively critical dynamics in the series. Key aspects of the Reid vs. Subaru conflict: 1. Unfathomable Power Gap * Reid does not view Subaru or his companions (such as Julius Juukulius) as legitimate physical threats. * To demonstrate his overwhelming superiority, Reid casually defeats top-tier combatants using nothing more than a pair of wooden chopsticks, refusing to draw a real sword. 2. A Survival Puzzle, Not a Physical Fight * Subaru has zero physical capability to spar with Reid. Their "battles" revolve entirely around strategic survival, psychological endurance, and Return by Death loops. * Reid possesses the ability to cut through abstract concepts—including magic, space, and divine protections—rendering Subaru's usual tactics completely useless. 3. The Gluttony Complication * Later in Arc 6, Roy Alphard (Authority of Gluttony) attempts to consume Reid's memories and identity. * However, Reid's sheer ego and concept of self are so immense that he overrides Roy's mind from within, manifesting as a fully mobile, unrestrained force of nature throughout the tower. 4. Dynamic & Outcome * Reid treats Subaru with complete disdain, finding him weak and constantly irritated by his heavy Witch's Scent. * Realizing Reid cannot be defeated through brute force, Subaru must rely on strategic coordination, team efforts (notably relying on Julius's character growth), and knowledge gained from the Books of the Dead to bypass the obstacle Reid presents. #reid #reidastrea #subaru #subarunatsuki #rezero
