They have heard Subaru’s speech, which will ultimately provoke them. This will make things challenging for our hero team, as dealing with the Witch’s Cult won’t be easy. There’s also a possibility that Regulus Corneas has discovered Emilia’s plan. So, he will create challenges for her. While Emilia is still Regulus’ hostage, her life seems to turn more miserable. Whatever the case, Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 8 will begin the climactic battle between Sin Archbishops of the Witch’s Cult and Subaru.

Is Re:Zero Season 3 On Break?

Of course not! Re:Zero Season 3 has a total number of 16 episodes that are split into two cours, both consisting of eight episodes each. The first half of the third season is scheduled to feature The Attack Arc, which was set to air in the fall of 2024. However, the second cour won’t begin so quickly.

Since the first part is all set to wrap up, the anime will return after a two-month break.

A Quick Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 7 Recap!

Re Zero Season 3 Episode 7 began with Emilia and Al’s conversation. The former informed Al about her whereabouts and asked him to pass the locations of Capella Emerada Lugunica and Regulus Corneas to Subaru. She also requested that Beatrice be kept safe at all costs. However, Al was confused and told her to ask Subaru to rescue her. However, she refused and assured him that Subaru would come and save her sooner or later. Later, Al informed Subaru, Julius, and Anastasia about his conversation with Emilia.

Upon learning this, Subaru said they should act fast and free their city from the Witch’s Cult. He later briefly discussed with his allies how to free their city from Sirius Romanee-Conti’s influence. The protagonist then asked Anastasia to speak to the people of Priestella. However, she believed she wasn’t right for this, and everyone agreed that Subaru should speak. That was because he had defeated a Sin Archbishop before. Finally, after realizing the gravity of his responsibilities, he spoke to his people and assured them they would be safe and join him in this fight.
