When anime fans debate the best arc in Re:Zero, one name appears again and again: Arc 6 — the Pleiades Watchtower Arc. As someone who has followed Subaru’s journey from the beginning, I genuinely believe this is where Tappei Nagatsuki transformed Re:Zero from an excellent isekai into one of the most compelling fantasy stories in…
