Most of the viewers who watch Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World with the content revolving around the main character Subaru appearing in a new world forget that the story also contains many mysterious subplots before Subaru is summoned. So what happened before Subaru appeared? Let's explore with Hobiverse in this article!
The Great Disaster from the Envious Witch Satella
400 years ago, the Great Calamity began when the Witch of Envy Satella appeared on an unknown day and at an unknown location. Satella went on a rampage and destroyed the entire world, with every country in the world falling before her. Satella's actions unintentionally changed the geographical map. In order to stop this battle, the Flugel, Shaula, Volcanica, and Res Astrea tried to kill Satella. In the end, Satella could not die, forcing them to seal her in the Auria Sand Dunes. Since then, the great Angeles Tower was built to ensure that the Witch Satella would never awaken.
War between Demi-Humans and Humans
There was a conflict between the Demi-Humans and the Humans of Konica that had been going on for hundreds of years. The event that set the stage for the separation between the ELF and other Demi-Humans was considered heresy. Over the next 350 years, clan tensions continued to escalate, and later, the Demi-Humans waged war against the Humans, resulting in the Humans being assassinated. This event was the spark that ignited all the wars, initially starting with the uprising of a tribe in the east, and then civil unrest spreading across the entire kingdom, and bloody wars began to take shape.
Therefore, the Holy Sword Thearesia van Astrea and the Demon Sword Wilhelm Trias tried to counterattack, and in the end, the evil side was forced into a passive position. They admitted that the war had no end and that any continued fighting would be a loss. However, the pain after the war was a terrifying obsession within the people of Konica, so the Human race always held a great prejudice against the Demi-Humans.
Battle of Castor Plains
The Demi-Humans decided to ambush the royal army, which was the source of the first major battles. The Battle of Ashiya Swamp destroyed three armies of the people. The Battle of Castor Plains was also the largest and bloodiest battle of all.
Campaign against the Kingdom of Konica
About 40 years ago, the arrogant Bishop of Sin Stride Vollachia planned a covert operation against the Kingdom of Konica. After determining that the Sword Saint Thearesia van Astrea was pregnant, Vollachia immediately ordered a massive attack on the Lugnica noble mansions.
In that bloody battle, the Astrea family, which was his main target, suffered heavy losses. Veltol Astrea, Theresia's father, heroically sacrificed himself to protect his family. Vollachia once again demonstrated his madness by summoning the three-headed black dragon Valgren, a powerful legendary creature, to destroy Lugnica. However, for the first time in centuries, the dragon god Volcanica awoke, dealt a decisive blow, easily defeated Valgren, and ended Vollachia's evil ambitions.
White Whale Collecting Expedition
The Holy Sword Thearesia van Astrea and a group of knights went to subdue the White Whale, a creature that had appeared at that time, and the mission ended tragically and the Holy Sword Thearesia van Astrea never returned. The event was later remembered as the first great expedition. And so, Reinhard inherited the title and ability of the Holy Sword.
Reinhard Van Astrea became a Sword Saint at the age of 5.
Not everyone who watches the movie knows that Reinhard Van Astrea became a Sword Saint at the age of 5. Right when Thearesia van Astrea was engaged in a fierce battle to hunt whales. Perhaps, Reinhard Van Astrea possessed the power and blessing at the wrong time.
Great Fire Spirit Melakuera
The Great Fire Spirit Melakuera is the day when the earth and sky turn red. This is one of the events recorded in history that attacked Elior Forest during the search for Emilia. Puck protected Emilia and fought Melakuera. Melakuera eventually died and Puck inherited the title of the next Great Fire Spirit.
Before Subaru appeared, the world of Re:Zero had many extremely intense battles. These are also important scenes of this movie. Join Hobiverse to explore more hidden corners of Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World in the next article!
