To save the Sanctuary, Ryuzu makes a decision—and it might come at great cost to herself. And within the memories of the Trial, Emilia faces the moment her idyllic childhood days turned to turmoil, with the arrival of a certain figure connected to “Greed.”

TIME SPARES NO ONE... With the path to the Trial clear again, Emilia readies her mind and body to challenge her past once more. Though she has finally gained access to the forgotten events of her childhood, it soon becomes clear that her struggle has only just begun. Within the dream world built from those memories, Emilia must overcome the regret and pain of those long-gone days for the people of Sanctuary to have any hope of leaving??—even if it means finally remembering what happened to her mother...

Blissful days continue for the ex-merchant and the wolf as they pass the days together in their mountain home. Ever since Col and Myuri set off on a journey of their own, the bathhouse has been a little shorthanded so a new hire was brought on. But this newcomer is a wolf, just like Holo and the problems with her joining the staff seem endless...

After reconciling with Emilia, the time has come for Subaru to confront Garfiel in a real man-to-man battle! Where will this vitally important battle take him?

A CITY OF HIDDEN DEPTHS! In the year since the Battle of the Sanctuary, Subaru Natsuki has been busy honing his skills alongside Emilia and the other members of their merry band. Still, these peaceful days cannot carry on forever-and it is none other than Anastasia, Emilia’s rival in the royal selection, who brings their respite to an end with an unexpected hand-delivered letter bearing an invitation to the famous Water Gate City of Pristella. Despite their suspicions about the sudden request, they accept and set off for the trade hub that lies at the kingdom’s border. There, among the inviting canals and dazzling streets, await old friends, new faces, and a hidden menace lurking in the shadows!

Working at Roswaal Manor as a humble servant, Subaru thought he had reached a comfortable new life with Emilia, Rem, and Ram. However, his unexpected demise puts that naive illusion to rest. Alive once more, Subaru works to uncover the cause of this latest tragedy, but learning the truth might be a fate worse than death!

Though Kanon Kanase is recovering from her ordeal, her father's research has dangerous implications for the Fourth Primogenitor, and Kojou's hopes of returning to a normal life are premature. The alchemist Amatsuka is after the Wiseman's Blood, a powerful liquid-metal life-form, and he will spare no one in pursuit of his goal. Kojou would never back down from a fight to protect his city and his friends, but this time he will receive help from an unexpected ally...

Having experienced agonizing death numerous times at Roswaal Manor, Subaru seeks to defy his fate once again. Enlisting the help of the diminutive yet powerful Beatrice, Subaru might finally overcome this trial...but success comes at a steep cost. Subaru is faced with a choice--will he live with the burden of regret, or will he take his chances and start over again?

Change the World, One Life at a Time Whether in a dinner with royal candidate Crusch Karsten or another sparring session with master swordsman Wilhelm, Subaru is often reminded that he has much to learn. However, the opportunity for reflection is cut short when Rem senses peril at Roswaal Manor. Never one to sit still, Subaru races back to the mansion, but what awaits him is not for the faint of heart...

Time is running out for Kanon Kanase. If they can't stop the faux-angel ritual in time, she'll ascend from realm of mankind and become something truly inhuman. Will the Fourth Primogenitor be strong enough to stop this madness before it's too late? The Amphisbaena arc reaches its heart-pounding conclusion!

However, the negotiating table is a strange new frontier for the straightforward Subaru. It's simply a matter of life and death, but politics are anything but simple...

Let us start over from here. From one...No. From zero! After a near-fatal encounter with the White Whale, Subaru awakens in Roswaal Manor distraught. As the very memory of Rem fades from the world, Subaru attempts to fight through the witch's curse to reveal his "Return by Death" ability in the hopes of conveying the gravity of the danger before Emilia. Subaru believes he is ready to suffer the consequences, but the price for telling the truth is crueler than he could have imagined...

What you forget, I'll always remember.Subaru hasn't known peace since he first came to this world, but after surviving the demon beast attack, he has finally found some respite.

Tragedy takes a break in this final volume of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Chapter 2: A Week at the Mansion!

SAVE POINTS ARE NO EXCUSE FOR SLOTH. The harrowing battle against the White Whale has finally been won, meaning Subaru can focus on returning to the Mathers domain. This time, with soldiers from the expeditionary force as well as Julius at his back, he is ready to fight the Witch Cult raiders who are under the command of the Archbishop of Sloth, Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti! In order to thwart the madman's plot to inflict unspeakable tragedy upon Emilia and everyone else Subaru cares about, Subaru uses what little he has learned from Return by Death. Realizing that he can't save them alone, Subaru will beg, plead, and cooperate with whomever it takes to defy fate itself!

Rem...stop making that face. Please. A smile suits you so much better. Subaru returns to Crusch Karsten's door intent on avoiding the mistakes that led to his latest fatal encounter. He proposes an alliance between Emilia's and Crusch's camps...and to sweeten the deal, he'll offer intel vital to their mutual survival: the exact time and place the memory-destroying White Whale will appear! Among those listening in is a warrior whose hatred of the demon beast is a lifelong obsession...How will Crusch's servant-"The Sword Devil," Wilhelm-react to this opportunity for revenge?

Wilhelm, the Sword Devil, has been swallowed whole by the demon beast known as the White Whale. What's more, the White Whale has split into three bodies! Amid this desperate fight, Subaru arrives at the truth. To break through the deadlock, he tries to reverse the tide of battle. Here and now, the man who lived for both love and the sword seeks to end his own 400 years of darkness!

Fight! The battle against the White Whale has concluded, but Subaru’s fight is far from over. He knows the Witch Cultists have their eyes on Emilia, so he’s brought forces—including Julius the knight, of all unlikely allies—to ambush them and crush their scheme. But when things go a little too smoothly against Subaru’s nemesis, the “Archbishop of Sin” Petelgeuse, a suspicion lingers: Is there something vitally important they’ve failed to realize…?

Once upon a time in a faraway land, a beautiful witch lived atop a tall tower with no intention of descending. Instead, she awaited the brave knight who would overcome many perils to meet her.

One day, such a courageous prince did arrive, and he asked her to rid him of the curse preventing him from siring an heir.
