Now that Subaru is whole again and Rui is left broken following her failed attempt to grab the Return by Death power, viewers can expect the continuation of the battle against Lye in Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 Episode 17. Subaru now remembers everything and keeps all of his relationships intact, which puts him in a much better position to deal with the remaining Gluttony siblings.

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 Episode 17 will mostly deal with the consequences of Rui's breakdown and the conflict between her two selves. Roy and Lye are still quite powerful in the tower, and Emilia just got her identity back, so the priority for everyone is to free those who are still under Gluttony's influence. The episode should have a pretty serious tone.

In the last episode, amnesiac Subaru went through several Books of the Dead, each representing a memory of his deaths in Lugunica. As he was in search of what made the original Subaru special, he saw himself failing continuously. It turned out that there was nothing remarkable that made the two Subarus different.

This time, in the Corridor of Memories, the amnesiac Subaru meets the original Subaru. Their conversation reveals that the driving force behind Subaru’s persistence in the face of numerous failures is not his unique talent, but love for those around him.

In the meantime, Rui's choice to separate from herself in order to live through Subaru’s deaths didn't work out the way she wanted and ended up with her second self going insane, leading to a fierce confrontation between both halves of Rui since Subaru would not show them mercy.

In the end, Subaru’s memories were restored completely, and he called Emilia by her favorite nickname and posed the way he usually does to indicate that he was ready to continue fighting.
