[Spoiler Discussion] Kenichi, Satella and her behaviour and potential future plot-points.

There was a Q&A that i came across that i thought was interesting and has great potential implications for the story and some of the characters.

This was part of a Q&A in regards to Subaru's parents - https://www.reddit.com/r/Re_Zero/comments/66eb74/wn_subarus_parents_mayonaise_qa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Supposedly due to Natsuki Kenichi's natural charisma and social skills even "S", aka Satella could be charmed or fall for his charms.

This has interesting implications for the characters.

As we know from Arc 7, Subaru's natural authority is called "loveless RBD" this only allows Subaru to go back in time for a few sec or min, and the purpose is to allow Subaru to die a satisfactory death.

However,

Satella's love for Subaru makes 'loveless RBD" function as we see typically in story, with reset points going back hours or even full days giving Subaru ample time to either run away and avoid danger (as Satella likely hopes) or figure a way to resolve the situation.

I originally thought that Satella's love for Subaru was 'unconditional' in a sense, or incomprehensibly vast.

In the IF routes where Subaru makes different decisions compared to the canon Envy route that we follow.

In Pride IF for instance, Subaru becomes the Archbishop of Pride and burns down Lagunica, murders so many people and 'kills' the "hero". Effectively becoming a monster.

In Greed IF, Influenced (or even puppeted) by Echidna, Subaru loops 100 million times, some loops lasting minutes, hours or even days, all done constantly to achieve "perfection". He is Echidna's puppet and emotionally dead inside.

In Sloth IF, Subaru runs away with Rem in arc 3, marries her, has a lot of sex with her and starts a family and even has children, Rigel and Spica.

These IF routes tell me that Satella's love for Subaru doesn't fade even with him becoming a monster, looping an ungodly amount of times or even marrying someone else and having a family.

Yet according to Tappei's Q&A, her heart can be shifted, maybe even looking at another.

This brings into question what exactly does she love about Subaru, if her love extends even if Subaru lives what-ever life he wants with whom-ever he wants, is her heart unmovable.

Is it possible for Satella to love (say AL) and turn Subaru's RBD into its loveless varient?

In arc 7 Subaru learnt to accept Satella's love, allowing her to find him, returning RBD to what we all know of.

However is it possible for a future plot-point, for Subaru to learn of his feelings for Satella, and try to win her back, not just because of his feelings, but to restore RBD itself?

Subaru for the most part ignores Satella, perhaps a plot-point could be Subaru not giving thanks/appreciation to whom has saved him and allowed him to save his friends, and going through trials to win that love/bond back?

Considering Tappei said Natsuki Kenichi, could earn Satella's heart, does Satella have a specific type?

Are there parts of Subaru that Satella despises or really loves?

Considering Subaru and Satella seem to have had a relationship, what personality did "that" Subaru have to win her heart?

Was he like Envy, Sloth or any varient of Subaru at-all?

Satella's seemingly vast love even for Subaru's more malicious varients could be explained due to her nature as a Witch, especially the infamous Witch of Envy.

She personally commited genocide and swallowed half the world in her shadows.

She's friends with other Witches including Minerva who has a kill count second to hers.

According to Tappei based on the Q&As, where Tappei jokes about Satella living in the attic at the house of the person she likes, she might be an introverted type. Also Satella, not Envy, has stated to lack common sense.

Also from the Echidna Q&A, Tappei stated this regarding everyone's behavior at the tea party.

The Witches are responsible for a lot of both Subaru's suffering and many people in the world of Re:Zero and Satella 'smiles' at them being safe.

Lack of common sense might not mean just being an airhead like Emilia, but also lacking empathy or a moral system for others, so murder like Pride IF or Wrath IF do isn't a bother to her.

She sets the check-points based only on Subaru and him-only.

So could Subaru in canon change, or affect Satella's perception of him, to change RBD?

Could Satella's love for Subaru even temporarily fluctuate?

And was this past Subaru more like his father or smolbaru in terms of personality?

Does this have any other interesting story implications you can think off?
