When subaru dies does the world continue
*No spoilers please*
Just theorizing about what we have in hands from the plot right now in the beginning of the second season:
Subaru's Return by Death, and evidences that Satella is responsible for that.
From Steins Gate to Avengers, the Timeline Split is very common nowadays. In this theory, when you interfere in the course of time,
you divide it and both realities keep existing and moving on,
along with infinite dimensions/timelines.
It requires less power to just split a timeline, than to completely stop, erase a reality and restart it from a point in past.
I think that is what Satella is doing to Subary, since it is easier.
Is she Godly powered right now? To accomplish every unimaginable feat? She may be, probably some Novel readers will say so, but i think it is more logical to the plot that her powers are restrained right now, since she is "dead/defeated by the Dragon" (not spoilers, everything from season 1).
But she is powerful enough to physically summon 1 person from another dimension, and to do the Return by Death.
Here is the point, the RbD works just by sending Subaru's last memories to another new Subaru while spliting t

Warning
:
A lot of Subarus were harmed in the making of this article.
A term used a lot to describe anime in 2016 is “time travel” – and for the most part, this isn’t incorrect. The show that kicked off the year was Erased, a show that did indeed seem to have time travel elements to it. There are other series and movies too, like Doraemon and Time Travel Girl, all explicitly tackling “time travel elements”.
One anime under this label is the recently released Re:Zero – Starting life in another world. On the surface, it does appear to be time-travel-based. Subaru goes from one point in time back to a previous point in time. He’s
travelling
to a point in time
before
the current time, so therefore, he’s time travelling? Yeah?
Well..sorta….kinda…no.
Time travelling is an incredibly complicated physics phenomenon that people are still theorizing about today, so take this article with a pinch of salt, but let’s try and crack down how Re:Zero is
not
time travel based.
Why isn’t it time travel?
This may be one of the most science-heavy articles I’ll ever write, so letR
Re:Zero: How Does Return By Death Work? & 9 Other Questions About Subaru's Abilities, Answered
The first part of the highly anticipated
Re:Zero
sequel shattered all fans' expectations. How can it not when it managed to surpass its predecessor in nearly every aspect. Although there was only a single major plot thread this time around, it was jam-packed with rich content for the fans to consume. It filled the fans' satisfactory levels with some leftovers to spare--it was that good. If anything, it explosively raised the bar for the second part upcoming in January of next year.

has to be the ‘re’ in question. Subaru’s Return by Death--one of the most iconic abilities in the isekai genre--remained as intriguing as ever. His mentally-taxing ever-repeating cycle of life and death certainly does beg many questions.

Return by Death is an ability that does exactly what it claims it does--rewinding time for the deceased. For Subaru, death is not the end. Whenever he dies, he will be sent back in time to what he cal
Subaru's 10 Most Brutal Deaths in Re: Zero
Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World
is one of the darkest isekai series around. It features a bleak world filled with brutal consequences. Main character Natsuki Subaru was summoned to the new world and given an odd power in Return by Death. It allows him to return to life after he's killed, but he doesn't get to choose the point in time in which he returns. Sometimes it's the same point for weeks, others the save point changes. No matter when he comes back,
his initial deaths are always brutal.
One of the best isekai anime of all time,
