The PV for Re:Zero Season 4's second cour, 《Dakkan-hen》, confirmed an August 12 premiere across 21 stations in Japan, ending the gap since the first cour wrapped. The trailer shows Julius, Emilia fighting alongside him, Ram, and Shaula, and closes on a silhouette that commenters refuse to spell out. Across 2,054 comments, the top reaction drew 2,943 likes — and it is written in the voice of a villain. "My brain trembles" is Petelgeuse's catchphrase from Season 1, and Japanese fans have folded it, along with sloth, diligence and gluttony, into their everyday hype vocabulary. The result is a comment section where people apologize to the production staff for their own slothfulness and thank them for their diligence, entirely unironically, while counting down the two months they spent waiting. The last line of the thread is four words pointed at the final shot, and nobody replies to it with an explanation. Editor's note: Re:Zero Season 4 is a split cour — 《Soushitsu-hen》ran 11 episodes from April 8, and 《Dakkan-hen》runs 8 episodes from August 12, for 19 episodes total.
