it's nice to see a deep dive on the royal selection itself. For as great a person as she is, I honestly can't see Emilia winning this thing. Even if the cult, the Snake, and all of the remaining great disasters are dealt with, the people of Lugunica are still going to be fearful of a silver-haired half elf. For now at least, my money is on Felt to win. It would be interesting to see her and Capella face off in arc 9.

Personally I think Emilia dropping out would be an interesting character decision. Her entire thing is based on making her own decisions and finding her own autonomy, and the deeper she goes the more she questions her own motivations for participating in the Royal Selection. I would be interested if she dropped out and endorsed someone else

When you think about it, the Sage council practically crapped over the Dragon’s choices for the throne. (Felt & Emilia). The Knights were hurling discriminatory insults towards Emilia. Julius brought classism made things worse. Subaru was right to call them out.

It was fine for Subaru to call out the council. But the knights were still knights and Subaru had to the realize the only thing protecting his ability to speak in front of dudes with swords are the dudes with swords. Whom he was insulting. It was a brain dead play. You don’t fight racism with vitriole unless you’re ready to kill your way to freedom.

Personally I see the royal selection less as a plot line that Tappei is focused on telling a story about and more as a reflection of how he sees Japanese politics. I don't see that comparison often in Re Zero circles but I think that's mostly because its not a topic that the English readers are going to be very familiar with. I just like studying geopolitics. And Re Zero! Of course I'm going to mix the two, don't be silly! Disclaimer: I am not Japanese, just a fan of studying history and geopolitics. I am sorry if I got anything real life wrong. Also, I'm not here for the fight about authorial intent and allegory, I say this is just what is familiar to Tappei and what he sees in the world and that gets reflected in his art. Lastly, this ballooned. Sorry for the length. Japan has a pretty similar history to Lagunica. WWII is very comparable to the Demihuman War, as an extremely racially driven war that was quickly ended by overwhelming power (the atomic bomb and the sword saint). Japan has been in an economic depression for the last 30 years, causing a lot of economic problems to put it mildly and a huge class divide as seen in Lagunica. The elite and owners of Japanese businesses make enormous sums of money overseas, and very little of that makes it back to the Japanese people since Japan is so heavy on exports. They are also struggling with an enormous, very strength driven, almost warmongering neighbor who is constantly causing border skirmishes: China. And Japan has had a long standing alliance with an overwhelmingly powerful mythical 'beast' as Emperor Hirohito is claimed to have said, the United States. For the royal selection I see each candidate as related to political groups or issues of Japan. Crush is clearly the traditionalist militarists who want to break away from alliances and bring back a strong Japan, by way of things like leaving America's orbit or abolishing article 9 (the no military article of the constitution, i.e. the self-defense force. its a very complex topic and a central political issue for Japan). Also Wilhelm is definitely inspired by WWII veterans that would have been alive in Tappei's youth who were literally taught from birth that they were nothing but a weapon for the emperor. Death before surrender. Imperial Japan was a seriously messed up place. It's also disconcerting how much political power the ex-imperial government kept after WWII, and how they have been able to influence Japan into the modern day. I like Crush as a character and feel bad for her, but I REALLY like Tappei smacking down the militarists and just subtly roasting them for most of the series. Attack first, ask questions later? I wish you wouldn't do that, ordering them to run me over when I'm not doing anything... Priscilla strikes me as a candidate who backs the traditional elite and conservatives who basically believe in the status quo and trickle down economics. She will succeed which will make her followers succeed. Modern Japan was basically born during the era of Reaganomics in the 80's, and deeply influenced by American business culture of the time. They were to the US in the 80's as China is today in a lot of ways. That said I find her both the hardest get a read on in universe and to map to a real life issue or ideology. I'd almost be tempted to say she's a populist. It seemed like the description of her in the beginning of the video was going that way without ever getting there. Anastasia is a business mogul like the giants of Sony, or more aptly I think, Samsung and the almost Corporatocracy of Korea. I find it fascinating too that a lot of the Japanese and Korean corporations were actually 'American Dream', bootstrap operations started by cobblers and farmers in the post WWII rebuild, like the video mentioned in her section. I also wonder if there is anything to the whole 'Kararagi has slaves' mapping to the idea of corporate slaves and the issues with overworking that Japan has. She also could be read as a foreign investor Japan gets a lot of foreign investors and businesses that set up from places like the US since its pretty stable compared to other options. Their primary motivator is basically just greed, but they often can do a lot of good for the population, at the cost of basically selling the country by way of debt which can cause A LOT of bad in the long run if its not managed extremely carefully. Felt seems like the more radical liberal groups who lobby for home front change like kick starting the Japanese economy, solving energy and education problems, working on the Lost Generation (a huge demographic of hikikomori from the economic crash in the 90's.) and unemployment. Emilia is an odd one. I don't think there is really much to actually judge her on and I have crossed fingers she figures out a political platform, but I kind of see two real world ideas that she parallels. First, she almost conjures the ideal image of the Self-Defense Force (as I understand it; i.e. pretty surface level.). Japan is basically not allowed to have a military because of WWII, but there's a loophole that lets them keep armed forces solely to defend their sovereign territory. Like I mentioned, it is a huge political issue in Japan, as they have to worry about Chinese incursions in the south and Russian incursions in the north over islands that Japan has contested ownership of with both nations. The US generally back Japan over the territorial issues to maintain a control and a military presence in shipping lanes in the pacific, which is like one of the single busiest areas of shipping world wide, so not only is it advantageous for Japan to control them but the US kind of pressures them into it. Emilia sometimes is like an ideal defense force - both unstoppable in combat prowess, but also innately good and showing deep care for the commonfolk and not generally warmongery. I also think there is something to be said about Tappei's views when Emilia is very battle oriented as a character (not to mention pro-intervention), but in a United Nations peacekeeping force sort of way, as opposed to the isolationist Crush. The second issue, and a much more overt one, that she calls forward in my mind is that Japan is deeply xenophobic and racist. They have a reputation for being very open with other nationalities as ideas, but very othering when it comes to actually living in Japan. They alienate both foreigners and minority groups, like the Okinawans and Ainu. Both are indigenous groups but have been marginalized and hated for most of Japans history. There are many reasons the US has such a military presence on Okinawa, and some are probably racist. Only the Yamato ethnic group (the people everyone just call Japanese) has ever been considered 'Japanese.' Japan is so bad about it that is wasn't until 2019 that they even admitted they had more than one ethnic group that ever lived on the Japanese island, and they STILL insist that they have only ever been one ethnic group as a nation. So Emilia is interesting in that she CAN be a character who can critique Japanese society. I'm still not certain if I think she does that well or not. That all said, I think that the video was a very well reasoned examination of the Royal Selection and I agree with pretty much all of it. I think adding in additional ways to examine that setting is fun and important to get a deeper reading of the story if that's what your into.
@siginotmylastname396911 ай бұрын
The core of Emilia's character for me is the idea of minorities struggling not to become the very things bigots believe them to be, since it matters less if she could do something like Satella apparently did to "deserve" overwhelming persecution and more that she hasn't, and has to struggle with being forced into that role her entire life(see frozen bond where she's begging someone who knows nothing about her but is just out to kill or enslave demihumans to tell her what she did to the other elves, because she basically needs her memories in order to know whether she really is the monster people make out). I also think her militaristic nature in your angle doesn't fit: Emilia is definitely someone who jumps into things and yes she fights lots, but when does she actually try to hurt people outside of witchbeasts and people currently trying to kill them. Against Petelgeuse in arc 3 the villagers were slaughtered already, against Elsa she was obviously trying to kill them, arc 4 she only fights the rabbits, arc 5 she almost sacrifices herself with the wives and (I need to read the light novels) does a load of espionage around Regulus? She also fights Sirius because Subaru tells her to, frozen bond she fights witchbeasts and breaks down in front of melaquera. Arc 6 she does a lot of stuff, helps capture Subaru but also defends him, fights gluttony, fights Reid, fights Volcanica and notably half these fights show she's actually very pacifist and would rather treat the trials as a test everyone can survive unharmed. And then in arc 7, fights Madelyn and tries to end the fighting of random troops without harming anyone. You can't really compare her to something like the UN because the UN aren't capable of being oppressed. Emilia is someone expected to turn into a living weapon I suspect by more people than just those who hated her, and trying her best to use her power responsibly who initially just thought of doing so without regard for her own life and mental health. I suspect her mental state is linked to the different type of power shown in frozen bond as well(I even suspect this is related to the not-Satella-possession broken Emilia in arc 4's second to last loop given the eye colour reminded me of her frozen bond powers, this might be too tenuous though). I think the politics of Emilia camp doesn't work because essentially, Emilia camp is a disconnected bunch of people brought together through Subaru's tendency to see the best in everyone but him, without realising a lot of them diverge from everyone else's way of trying to solve problems repeatedly. Emilia is the main one truly wanting the throne, but in terms of politics I feel they're defined a lot more by connections to Echidna(Puck, Beatrice and Roswaal's views of the world were all fundamentally shaped by her and they can often be the exact sort of brute force minded people Emilia isn't, Beatrice more in the side stories but you see it in her reactions to Subaru and the others a lot pre arc 4ish). So I think your comparisons will also struggle because above the royal selection overarching plot there's a bigger overarching plot consisting of the history of witches and the witch cult. Tappei is steadily tying them into the four countries' history as well as od lagna and the spirits' roles. Sorry long! But remember that Echidna is associated both with many Emilia camp members and the historical figures which founded the present kingdom of lugunica. Also the most interesting analysis I've read on Priscilla was relating her and Reinhard as in a way foils to each other similar to shinto gods Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi. Amaterasu being the sun goddess who will bring prosperity from a distance but is dangerous to get close to, while Tsukiyomi and other Japanese myths work with Reinhard's passive, self sacrificial and tragic nature. I think characters aren't really just one of any of these things, from political, religious, folk and other literature/history.

I kind of like the idea that Amelia doesn’t really have an idealogical stake in anything. She’s simply focused on making things better. She sees hurt and she want to fix it, she sees a problem and that’s what she cares about. I think it’s important to look at and understand the underlying politics of situations, but if everyone was a little less dogmatic and a little more problem solving oriented that would make things a lot better I think. Mainly because of Subaru, I guess, the America camp has simply been problem solving. All of the separate camps have made strides in their own camps, but the election truly is an after thought to Amelia compared to the crazy problems she is off solving all the time and I think that can she can be seen as an outsider who’s less politically inclined and more problem oriented.

A certain side story alluded to Subaru getting his own tale that shall be sung by the bards for years to come... Not that it makes me like Liliana any better. I don't think his story spreading will alter the rankings you've laid out much, but I do at least want to highlight that it will probably spread and that it will probably play a huge role in the future of the royal selection and the series as a whole.

The Emilia camp has 3 main things going for them. 1 their ability to defeat opponents and save lives. In politics when there is unrest and fear, people always lean for conservative parties and military might. You can’t tell me that in such a uncertain environment, plagued by witch cult attacks, the people would not go for the one who can protect them the most. 2 Their stance on equality. It will for sure gather votes from Demi humans and “left leanist” folks. (It’s not sure if it’s a net positive or not, it depends on the population biases) 3 Subaru. The man made a name for himself, he is the Hero of the people that survived the witch cult attacks, and that could be even more impactful than the actual defeat of the witch archbishops

That seems like the perfect idealistic ending to put on a grand story like this. But I do legitimately think that the best outcome would be if everyone ruled together in some form instead of just one of the canidates, since all of them have shown extreme competence and unique strengthsin terms of ruling (except Emilia), which would mean the best of all worlds. Emilia being the selection winner and then ruling with the help of the other four would also kinda fit with Emilias thing of always having people help her out.

@@MJH1703 It's an end of Arc 8 prediction. Subaru can demand Vincent make such a pact, he probably wouldn't but he could. Subaru has his own army and Cecilus even after the zombie problem is over. All of Vincents lines about needing 1 divine general to insert yourself as the new emperor would be put to the test here. Also you have Flop saying he could remove Vincent and replace him with Subaru if needed is telling too. I could see Vincent making such a pact just to get Subaru out of his way. Now imagine if they find out from Reinhard that Emilia has a pact with Volcanica at the Pleiades watch tower. Vincent has a pact with Emilia. Subaru has an army. Theres a way to see Arc 8 ending with Emilia coming out on top purely on a military level. Reinhard won't kill Volcanica even if he is physically strong enough to do so, and the rest of Lugunica couldn't deal with Madelyns and Sabrinas dragons. Again none of this is in anyones plans but you could imagine the Lugunician Elite viewing it this way, the threat of Emilia taking the throne in a Targaryen manner

Ah yes, by having such inventive names like 'Emily'. The Vollachian Army has seen these important Lugunican figures at the capital battling, and now, the day after the siege they form a pact with the Emperor. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to link the two together. @@MJH1703

Do you think the Royal Selection will conclude before the final arc? Or will the end of the series be the new king being crowned?

It's very possible it could be resolved in the final arc. I would prefer it to be earlier, tho

Emilia is probably the worst candidate from practical standpoint. She doesn't think for herself, is naive, hated by larger public and don't have concrete plan how to convince people to vote for her. Maybe it is just the way how Tappei want to write Emilia, but for now I think Anastasia is the best one. She is clever, know how people work, has many achievements for her name and is not psychotic (unlike other candidates) Also there is issue that witchcult is targeting Emilia, so she is not ideal king. To be clear, I think that Anastasia would be best candidate based on my likings, not that she has biggest chances of becoming king. I just find her to be the most sensible. Edit: I made the comment before watching video based on me feeling in the current web novel situation

Honestly, people who vote for Emilia are probably voting more for Subaru than for her, considering his involvement and heroics, especially the speech he gave in Pristella and other things to come.

Anastasia is incredibly fucking selfish and greedy. She would sell the country to damn ground dragon barons. And not to mention she is kind of dead atm lol. And she has some weird ties to copy of a witch?? I dont see Anastasia being a better ruler. She might be cunning but she is cunning for her own good. Emilia is instead hardworking and true to herself. She is naive but at the same time can hold her own as an independent woman. She also values companionship and has true ties to her people. Anastasia basically ignored Julius' feelings until she died and foxidna took over her body.

Is there even any basis for royal selection if fucking royal family is still alive? Capella is around so is Felt (which is %99.9 from royalty). I think its obvious Felt will be new ruler simply because she carries the royalty blood. Which is a massive middle finger to Emilia and Subaru's efforts

capella getting the throne would be like the UK finding out that someone in the royal family had a secret child whose should have been the actual legitimate ruler and his lineage leads to one of Isis' leader.

Ah yes. Because the neighbouring country with the longest history of war with Lugunica, an emperor who tried to establish peace temporarily, impending apocalypse, systems of running the empire using future telling "devices" (stargazers) which parallel the dragon stone being looked at critically, more lore about oppression of demihumans in the world, aren't going to have anything to do with the kingdom's future politics. It only has nothing to do with the Royal selection if you think the Royal selection is just about a candidate winning court approval and the throne rather than actual political change.
