There is a secret floor in the Pleiades Watchtower that anime-only viewers have never even heard of, because the anime completely cuts its mention.
When Subaru first wakes up in the tower, Shaula doesn’t rush him like in the anime. Instead, she stops, studies him carefully, and simply says “3,” which many Re:Zero fans believe refers to the number of Authorities Subaru currently possesses. As they continue through the tower, Shaula begins listing the floors, each named after stars in the Pleiades star cluster, but Subaru quickly notices something strange—only six are named.
When he questions the missing star, Merope, and whether it is the seventh or possibly the zeroth floor, Shaula finally reveals the truth: there is indeed a zeroth floor. However, her tone changes immediately. Her usual playful attitude vanishes, replaced by something colder and more distant as she shuts the topic down, saying the requirements have not been fulfilled and that Subaru returning to meet her partway through his journey is enough, making the zeroth floor off-limits.
The way she says it creates a sudden shift in atmosphere, as if a wall has been placed between them, leaving Subaru uneasy enough to stop asking further questions. Many fans theorize that Shaula’s mention of a “journey” is referring to Subaru collecting all of the Witch Factors, which ties directly into the deeper mystery surrounding the Pleiades Watchtower and its hidden floors.
