Aldebaran’s fate [spoiler discussion]

The star “Aldebaran” is the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus and is often referred to as “the follower” which is Aldebaran in Arabic. It is called the follower as it always follows the Pleiades star cluster, which is referred to as “Subaru” in Japanese culture and means unity. So in sense, it is written in the stars that Aldebaran will always be a follower, the only way to escape is to explode in a supernova which I view as quite tragic.

Aldebaran in re zero as of arc 9 is seen to be trying to defy his fate, frequently stating his hate for himself and Subaru. But I’m predicting his efforts will be in vain, it is a law of the universe that Aldebaran will always be just a follower, Al will meet his end before long.

This is a great example of man vs fate, and specifically the lack of power man has over the manipulation of their own fate.

P.S. Aldebaran hates being called “Aldebaran” and prefers “ Al” which removes the follower part as “debaran” means follower.
