Recap of Season 3’s Climactic End
The third season of Re:Zero took viewers to the Watergate city of Priestella, which faced a brutal assault by the witches’ cult. The city was effectively held hostage by the archbishops representing the deadly sins of Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, and Greed. Subaru and his allies fought valiantly to liberate Priestella, culminating in the defeat of the Archbishops of Wrath, Sirius Romanée-Conti, and Greed, Regulus Corneas.
Subaru’s strategic ingenuity was instrumental in securing this victory, showcasing his growth as a hero. The witches’ cult retreated swiftly after losing two of their archbishops. However, the battle came at a cost-Julius suffered a fate similar to Rem’s after a confrontation with Roy Alphard, the Archbishop of Gluttony.

The fourth season is expected to debut on Crunchyroll in 2026, with Netflix offering the episodes a few months later.
