The “aura monster Subaru” meme has officially reached the Re:Zero animators. Animator Hamil, who worked as a main animator on Season 3 and is reportedly returning for Season 4, tweeted that he had to explain the meme to his coworkers. This raises questions about who exactly knows about it—other Re:Zero staff or outside colleagues—and whether its inclusion in the opening was intentional or just a coincidence. That scene wasn’t even a top moment in the arc, yet it was highlighted in the opening. Could Tappei be aware of this meme, and might it influence the next web novel chapter?
