Update: Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2 is now streaming on Crunchyroll!
Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- TV anime just made its big return last week with the premiere of its 90-minute episode, and now, isekai fans are getting ready to see what's next for Natsuki Subaru and his friends' dark fantasy adventure. Today, the official website of the anime has shared a teaser trailer and preview stills for Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2, which is titled Showdown of Ice and Fire, and it looks like it will continue Subaru and Emilia's conflict against the villainous Sirius Romanee-Conti, the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, representing Wrath.
You can watch the teaser trailer for Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2 from Kadokawa's official anime YouTube channel below, but if you're an anime-only fan, you may want to avoid watching it as the trailer contains major spoilers from Tappei Nagatsuki's light novel series.
You can read the English-translated official synopsis for Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2 below:
Subaru's life was taken without him even knowing what was going on when Sirius Romanee-Conti, Archbishop of the Witch Cult's Sin of Wrath, appeared at the Time Tower. Subaru headed to the Time Tower to stop Sirius's heinous act, and tried to rescue a boy named Lusbell who was being held captive by chains, but was suddenly overcome by an indescribable fear. As Subaru desperately tried to support himself, clutching his trembling legs, he heard the happy voice of Sirius. Sirius' chains attacked Subaru, who was consumed with doubt.
