Oboreru - Re:Zero Wrath IF Story

“A drowning man will even clutch at straws, there’s a proverb like that where I used to live~”

In Oboreru (Wrath Route), Subaru becomes Re:Zero's most dangerous villain; The Purge King. After deciding not to jump off the cliff in Episode 7, Subaru runs away and ends up founding a criminal organization that terrorizes the world and murders countless victims, earning him the nickname "Purge King". Oboreru tells the tragic what-if story of the rise and fall of Purge King Subaru.

Oboreru contains season 2 spoilers. This video, however, does not spoil any major events or plot points, so anime-onlies can safely watch this video if you don't mind a few minor details being spoiled. The story features two new characters (Cecilus and Halibel) who haven't appeared yet in the main storyline, but could possibly show up in the future if the author continues writing Re:Zero.

OBORERU VOCAB:
Oboreru = 溺れる "Drowning"
Purge King = Natsuki Subaru, mob boss
Cecilus = "Blue Lightning", powerful swordsman, Subaru's subordinate
Halibel = Demihuman, powerful ninja, Subaru's subordinate
Frederica = Demihuman, maid
Pleiades = Subaru's criminal organization, means "seven sisters"
Pandemonium = Pleiades headquarters, messes with Divine Protections
