I hate his nonsensical, overbearing behavior, it is SO cringeworthy. When he started defending Emilia in the throne room by loudly shouting, I felt SO embarrassed for Subaru, ugh. He is NOT important to this ceremony, yet he makes it all about himself. You know, when Emilia later at the end accused him that heŽs doing all this stuff only for himself, she was wrong. But that behavior in the throne room, in front of hundreds of people? Totally egocentric behavior. Sigh.

The end, however, had me feel for Subaru. Damn, what a scene. If I were Subaru, I would have told Emilia, "you know ... I love you". Then stand up, run out of the room before she can reply anything. Then IŽd go on a 5 year journey where IŽd train my sword skills and magic spells. Afterwards, IŽd return to town when Emilia is long queen. IŽd defeat the evil dragon, then half-dead return to Emilia and say "I really always did it all just for you", before fainting. IŽd then wake up in a nice bed, and Emilia would sit next to me. WeŽd stare each other in the eye for minutes, silently, when I say "Will you marry me?", and Emilia would simply nod and smile. THE END.

Ok, sorry for the fanfiction, but that ending scene triggered me.
