RemSuba is the het ship between Subaru and Rem from the Re: Zero fandom.
Canon[]
Subaru and Rem met for the first time in Roswaal's Mansion. He woke up in the room fully healed and saw the twins Ram and Rem. As a reward for saving Emilia, Subaru worked at the mansion as a butler alongside Ram and Rem. On his first day working, Subaru struggled with his duties. He visited a local village with Rem to buy supplies, before dying in his sleep that night.
Subaru was reintroduced to Ram and Rem. To figure out how he died, Subaru attempted to recreate the timeline by trying to trigger events that had happened in the previous timeline, which works only partially because of events that he did not experience in the previous timeline, such as being taught to read and write by Ram. During chores, Subaru and Ram's relationship deepened which seems to bother Rem. While out shopping, Rem told Subaru that her dedication to her sister Ram is like a "fanatical demon" and then proceeded to ask Subaru what he thinks about demons. That night, Subaru attempted to stay up before feeling violently ill. As he staggered through the mansion, he was attacked by an unseen assailant.
In another loop, Subaru was attacked by a heavy spiked ball and chain. He evaded the first two impacts and grabbed the chain of the assailant, who, to his shock, turned out to be Rem. Rem tortured Subaru, suspecting that he belonged to a faction against Emilia due to the smell of the witch. Then, he was mercifully killed by Ram during the interrogation.
Subaru asked Beatrice to guarantee his safety on the fourth night, to which she agreed. The next morning, he found that Rem is dead, leaving Ram grief stricken. Ram suspected Subaru and tried to attack him, but Beatrice protected him due to their contract. Subaru escaped to a cliff, with Ram swearing to kill him and Beatrice trying to help. Believing that his own cowardice led Rem to this tragedy, Subaru jumped to his death and announced that he will save them all.
While Subaru, Ram, and Rem visited the village to find the culprit of the curse, the puppy bit him again. Subaru later confirmed with Beatrice that it was the Mabeast who cursed him. That night, he returned to the village again with Rem, only to find the children missing. They ventured into the forest and found all but one of the missing children. As Rem healed the children, Subaru went searching for the last child and was attacked by a Mabeast. Then, Rem arrived to defeat the Mabeasts and went berserk. As Rem was about to be killed, Subaru pushed her out of the way to take the attack. Subaru woke up the next day learning that he had survived. However, Rem was still in the forest with the Mabeasts. He head to the forest with Ram to rescue her only to find a berserk Rem. Then, they decided to hit Rem's horn so that she can regain her senses again. Subaru stayed put to fight the shaman, who has transformed into a fearsome beast. Subaru stabbed the shaman with his broken sword, but the attack was not effective. Just as Subaru was about to be killed, Roswaal arrived to defeat the shaman and the remaining Mabeasts, which also removed the curses on Subaru. Back at the mansion, Subaru woke up with Rem in the room, and Subaru told Rem to keep on living for the future rather than to feel sorry for herself, causing her to fall in love with him.
In another loop, Subaru hugged Rem and became catatonic. Unable to help with the traumatized Subaru, Rem decided to go back to Roswaal's mansion. But their cart was ambushed by the Witch's Cult. While Rem fought them, one of the cult members escaped with the broken Subaru, who was chained up with the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, Petelgeuse. Rem found the meeting place and attempted to destroy Petelgeuse and his men, but to no avail. Rem was then tortured by Petelgeuse and left in a mess, with both arms and legs mangled and broken. Petelgeuse then left Subaru to die, however a near-death Rem used magic to cut the chains and then told Subaru "to live" and that she loves him, before passing away. Subaru carried Rem's body to the mansion, seeing piles of bodies along the way. When he finally arrived at the mansion, he encountered Puck, who decapitated him in the snowfall.
After the restart, Subaru decided to seek help from the other royal candidates. With no results, he decided to head back to the mansion with Rem once again with Otto's group. However, they eventually encountered the White Whale. With the White Whale closing in, Rem decided to sacrifice herself so that the others can escape.
After another reset, Subaru dragged Rem aside and asked her to run away with him, but she refused as she would only do that with the Subaru she knows, and not his current self. He berated himself for the life he has wasted and his ineffectiveness in helping those he cares about, but Rem professed her love for him even though she understood that Subaru's heart belongs to Emilia. Through Rem's belief in him, Subaru overcame his sorrow and despair. With his resolve renewed, he set out to become a hero, wanting to start again from zero.
In this timeline, Subaru set up a plan to defeat the White Whale with Crush's camp and Anastasia's camp. The next day, Subaru and Rem, riding a ground dragon called Patrasche, with the armies of the Crusch and Anastasia camps, head out to the Flugel tree to wait for the whale to appear. In the fight, Rem assisted Subaru in luring the White Whale. As the battle ended, Subaru confessed to Rem before having her, along with the injured, transported back.
In Arc 4, Subaru faced countless scenarios where others react to his deaths, causing him to break down even further. However, Rem appeared to calm him down, though it was revealed to be the Witch of Lust, Carmilla, later on.
In Arc 6, Rem appeared before the amnesiac Subaru, encouraging him to stand up while confronting the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, Louis Arneb.
