The Witch Congregation in the anime series Re:Zero is a group of powerful witches who govern and oversee the world's magic. They are central to the story, as the main character Subaru Natsuki possesses the ability to return to a specific point in time upon death, known as "Return by Death." This power is linked to the Witch of Envy, Satella, who is a member of the Witch Congregation. The Witch Congregation is comprised of a council that consists of seven powerful witches, each representing a different sin. These witches include Satella, the Witch of Envy; Sekhmet, the Witch of Sloth; Typhon, the Witch of Pride; Minerva, the Witch of Wrath; Daphne, the Witch of Gluttony; Echidna, the Witch of Greed; and Carmilla, the Witch of Lust. Each witch possesses unique abilities and characteristics associated with their sin.
Elsa Granhiert was wreaking havoc again and this time there was no Reinhard Van Astrea or Puck to save Subaru from witnessing some truly harrowing moments. Knowing that Petra, Ram and Frederica have died, an injured Subaru desperately approaches Rem’s room trying to avoid a manic Elsa who was stalking him like prey. Just as he thought he was about to die and trigger his Return by Death, Beatrice opens the gate to the forbidden library saving him.
Elsa Granhiert was wreaking havoc again and this time there was no Reinhard Van Astrea or Puck to save Subaru from witnessing some truly harrowing moments. They soon discover that he is sharing his heart with his wives, which they counter by having Emilia freeze all of his wives, while Subaru uses Unseen Hand to crush Regulus heart, rendering him unable to protect himself from attacks.
Each witch possesses unique abilities and characteristics associated with their sin. Echidna, known as the Witch of Greed, plays a significant role in the series. She is the one who first takes an interest in Subaru due to his "Return by Death" ability, and they form a contract where Subaru is required to have tea parties with her in the Witch's Tea Party, a dream-like realm where he can communicate with the witches.
Regulus Corneas - Re:Zero
Regulus Corneas was a Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, representing greed, and was the primary antagonist of Arc 5. He was killed by Natsuki Subaru, Emilia, and Reinhard van Astrea during arc 5.
Regulus is described as having an average appearance, with medium length white hair and gold eyes. He wears a blue dress shirt with vertical stripes, a white coat with gold trim, white pants, white shoes, and white gloves.
Regulus is very selfish, but tries to deny his selfishness, believing himself to be selfless. He tries to justify his selfishness by blaming it on others. He becomes angry at people who go against his opinions, accusing them of ‘violating his rights’.
Echidna offers Subaru knowledge and guidance to help him navigate the challenges and mysteries of the world. The Witch Congregation as a whole is shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Subaru's encounters with the witches and his interactions with other characters in the series slowly reveal more about the nature of their powers and their individual motivations. The witches, particularly Echidna, seem to have their own agendas and goals that intertwine with Subaru's journey. Overall, the Witch Congregation in Re:Zero is a central aspect of the story, serving as a source of power, intrigue, and conflict. Subaru's interactions with the witches and his unraveling of their secrets contribute to the overall development of the plot and the exploration of the fantastical world of Re:Zero..
Reviews for "Exploring the Traditions and Rituals of the Witch Congregation in Re:Zero"
1. John D. - 1 star
As a fan of the Re:Zero series, I was incredibly disappointed with the Witch Congregation arc. The plot felt convoluted and confusing, with unnecessary twists thrown in for the sake of shock value. The pacing was all over the place, making it hard to stay invested in the story. Additionally, the character development took a backseat, leaving many of the previously interesting characters feeling flat and uninteresting. Overall, Witch Congregation failed to live up to the quality and excitement of the rest of the series.
2. Emily R. - 2 stars
I found Witch Congregation to be a major letdown in the Re:Zero series. The arc seemed to lose its focus, introducing numerous new characters without giving them enough development or purpose. The story became muddled and confusing, and I struggled to keep track of the various plotlines. Moreover, the animation quality seemed to decline during this arc, with noticeable drops in the overall production value. Witch Congregation simply didn't live up to the standards set by the previous arcs, and I was left feeling disappointed in its execution.
3. Mark H. - 1.5 stars
The Witch Congregation arc in Re:Zero left a lot to be desired. The plot felt unnecessarily complicated and lacked a clear direction. It seemed like the writers were trying to go for shock value with sudden twists and reveals, but they fell flat and ended up feeling forced. Additionally, the character interactions and development were lackluster, making it hard to connect with or care about the new introductions. Overall, Witch Congregation was a disappointment in an otherwise riveting series, and I hope future arcs can regain the magic that made Re:Zero so great.
