Who is Roswaal in Re:Zero?

rezero-roswaal

Roswaal L. Mathers is the lead court magician of the Kingdom of Lugnica. He has the ability to manipulate super-grade magic at his will and has the combat power of a war weapon. He is free-spirited, and it is hard to tell what he is thinking. Also, his way of talking is unique and he has a habit of stretching the last part of the sentence. He is described by those around him as an eccentric with a royalty. Roswaal wears the make-up of a clown, which he says it is a costume for war. He is helping Emilia to become the king.

In the anime, Roswaal seems to be an ally, but because he looks like a clown and has a unique way of speaking. Some people may think that he is up to something.

The strength of Roswaal in Re:Zero

rezero-roswaal

Roswaal has magical powers and is by far the most powerful being in Re:Zero. Because of this, Roswaal has Divine Protection of Sorcery. The protection gives Roswaal an aptitude for the six attributes of mana and the amount of mana Roswaal has is nearly inexhaustible. However, while Roswaal is the strongest when it comes to offensive magic, he is unable to use recovery magic.

In addition to magic, he can also do martial arts. His opponents are wary of magic and challenged him to hand combat, but are overwhelmed by Roswaal's tremendous physical powers.

Roswaal's Past in Re:Zero

rezero-Beatrice-Roswaal

The name Roswaal has been passed down from generation to generation.

Point!

He has passed on his spirit as well as his name to his descendants.

 So the spirit of Roswaal is the same as it was 400 years ago, only the physical body has changed. Four hundred years ago, Roswaal was taught magic by Echidna and was an apprentice of Echidna.

I didn't know that he is so old...

Why does Roswaal have the Gospel?

rezero-gospel

Point!

Roswaal was given the Gospel by Echidna.

But the Gospel that Roswaal has is not the same as the Gospel that the Echidna has. Roswaal has a gospel that Echidna made based on her Book of Wisdom. She copied the Book of Wisdom, a book of predictions about the future, to create Roswaal’s Gospel. For more on the Gospels, see the following article.

[Re:Zero] What is the Gospel? Why do Roswaal and Beatrice have the Gospel?

A Gospel is a book in which the future is written. To be more precise, the Gospels are imitations of the Book of Wisdom. The Book of Wisdom is the book written by the witch Echidna, the Witch of Greed. It describes the future.

Shocking truth!

The Gospel showed Roswaal Subaru's "return by death," and it seems that Roswaal knew about the "return by death" from the time he met Subaru.

However, he doesn’t know the details of how Subaru is starting over. He didn’t want to touch it until he knows the secret. So what does the Gospel of Roswaal tell? If he does things the way the gospels tell him to do,

Roswaal can get to the future he is aiming for.

What is the ultimate goal of Roswaal in Re:Zero?

rezero-Echidna

Question


What is the purpose and identity of Roswaal in Re:Zero?

Point!

Roswaal's goal is to reunite with Echidna, the witch of greed.

His book of Wisdom contains a prophecy of the future. By fulfilling each one of those prophecies, Echidna will eventually be resurrected. In other words, Roswaal's actions up to now have been in accordance with the Book of Wisdom in order to resurrect the Echidna. Roswaal will use any means to realize the future in the Gospel and to reunite with Echidna. Most of the desperate situations that Subaru has faced were set up by Roswaal for this purpose!I will explain the actions that Roswaal has set up in the next article.

Roswaal is my favorite character because of the way he speaks and looks. Usually, Roswaal looks like a clown in the way he speaks, but he is reliable in combat. Roswaal's almost inexhaustible amount of mana and his ability to use the six attributes make him too strong.
It amazes me that Roswaal has inherited not only a name but a consciousness from 400 years ago. I'm looking forward to the future of the anime.
