I think the more we dig deeper to the future arc of Re:Zero, the more we might receive any philosophical messages and explanations... not just about its personal aspects... but also about its RELIGIOUS/MYTHOLOGICAL aspects that Tappei might secretly plan to convey it.
You see, most religious people tend to have a blind belief towards a certain deity in everyday life. Some of them can be hypocritical on their own ways through their selfish deeds or whatsoever regarding their self-indulgence. Their sense of "logic" in religious perspective—
—can be contradictory from the SUPPOSSED logic in knowledgeable perspective.

It& #39;s a clash between science vs. religion.

For Re:Zero example, it& #39;s the ideal of Witch Cult. In a specific analogy, Petelguese himself praises and yearns Satella as his "love for his life".
His twisted behavior conveys about its tremendous obsession. Petelguese& #39;s heavy obsession towards Satella is not only projecting how Subaru may become, but also it is a fact that it can serve as an irrational effect by its over-the-top extent of reliance towards FAITH itself.
And in the accordance of reality, it is true. Let& #39;s take Kenneth Copeland& #39;s behavior as an example in this real world. For those who don& #39;t know, Kenneth Copeland is a televangelist who "heals" viewers through TV screen. Yeah, you can consider him as a "good" guy for religion.
If you think about it, how does it make similar between Petelguese and Kenneth Copeland?

That& #39;s right, the "OVER-THE-TOP EXTENT OF RELIANCE TOWARDS FAITH". It& #39;s kinda broad to say, but their sense of attitude and ideal is somewhat connected to what I& #39;m trying to convey.
Abomination... Guilt... Punishment... Cruelty... Ignorance

These traits ties up altogether which Tappei really did a good job to convey the message through Petelguese& #39;s character-writing by portraying the fallacy of religious practices.
Thus, Tappei delivers the superb meaning of Witch Cult.

It might not be correct to somebody, but that& #39;s what I thought about it.

Another interesting fact about Tappei is his obsession to mythology, such as a certain reference from his screenwriting work, Senyoku no Sigdrifa.
I think that& #39;s it. If you& #39;ve already read this thread, then thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
