The joke being he's a badass looking ...tailor-hence his working at that store.

To be fair,the founding squadron has already looked at visha's (mostly) naked body; since in the snow training arc tanya had them strip down to their bottom underwear as part of the training (shown in the manga but maybe not in the anime ?).

He normally uses this to filch panties from female targets, so this is one of his more mundane abuses of power.


it's not that he uses them to steal panties per se, it's just that his luck stat is so high he will always stel the most effective thing, hence him stealing the dullahan's head or him stealing the flag; since the thing that gets stolen is picked at random.

So is Tanya really that powerful in that world? (that's the only one of the 4 I haven't watched). Ains said she was "tier 8", which I take to mean capable of using tier 8 spells, which iirc, while not at his power level (capable of using the max tier 10 (not to mention Super Tier)), still would put her far above most others in his world where people very rarely can use tier 6 magic.

It's easy to miss, but in the opening shots Mare is seen in a full body one piece swimsuit straight out of a turn of the (20th) century beach trip. An appropriately gender neutral looking suit.

I don't remember her ever doing any magical powerups that send magical shockwaves around a large area. She was more like very talented at fighting and using magic, not impressing people with dragonball-esque powerups.

Yeah that was a weird inclusion to have Tanya go super sayai, she's not even supposed to be able to use magic without the right gear.

No..she is-naturally-highly adapt at magic. The type 95 & type 97 orbs amplify and are amplified by her skills-with the type 95 requiring her prayers to operate.

She's wearing her type 95 orb in this anime-notice it glowing brightly-and yes while wearing one of her orbs Tanya does often "powerup" in battle or while raging against the archangels & Being X.

Wasn't she completely incapable of flying when the orb failed during the test?

The orbs power the devices which they use to fly (among other things). When she was testing the new orbs and the orb blows up, it also destroys the device she was using to fly, which means she has to deploy a parachute in order not to die from the fall.

If you go back and watch Tanya, you'll see that the mages of each nation have a unique looking device they use in order to fly. The Norwegians, for example, have devices that look like snow skies.

Right, so she has to use a device to fly (i.e. to use magic), I can't recall any instance where a mage used magic without some form of implement.

I did not pay attention to the japanese,but the subtitles said "over level 8", so she might actually be stronger.

the world if tanya is a world where magic has been standarized and militarized, so she uses most of her magic power to fly; so her fights ae more like nanoha/touhou/dragon ball than your regular magic using isekai.

I hope that Funimation is smart and cast a LA actor for Vanir (and any other Konosuba character from the second season). They have been doing a good job so far, let's keep it that way.

Re:Zero also offers at least two new students


Three actually. Felt can be seen sitting right next to Reinhard.

Quote:
Subaru goes overboard in defining his ridiculous power in game terms, but he's definitely one of the most powerful characters from his world, enough to probably go toe-to-toe with Ains or Tanya.


If anything Subaru underplayed just how incredible he is. To put things into perspective, it's considered a miracle to have even one divine protection. Felt, Ram, Crusch and Otto all have one.

Reinhard has at *least* 30, likely more. It's mentioned in Q&As that he's the only being to ever exist that could defeat the Witch of Envy, and it's only because of very specific circumstances that would make that battle a stalemate instead. Even compared to every other Sword Saint he's unrivaled.

Reinhard is like a parody of the overpowered isekai protagonist, and he stops just short of being a full-on joke character.

I recently rewatched Re:Zero and I don't remember there being anything about Reinhard being as powerful as Subaru made him out to be. I don't even remember any mention of "divine protection" though I might have just missed it. So spoilers, I guess.
