After Shaula explained the rules of the Pleiades Watchtower, she said, “Also, as long as none of those rules are broken, my body belongs to me! Oops! I mean it belongs to my master!” And given Shaula was blushing the entire time, I take it to mean she was intimate with Fl\u00fcgel and that it wasn’t entirely referring to her becoming a killing machine that loses her own will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaula explaining that Reid used to grope her boobs as she bounces on Subaru’s stomach is a very strange soothing motion, especially for someone who was a victim of sexual assault and in the midst of remembering having been assaulted, making me believe there was something more to her relationship with Fl\u00fcgel given the choice of what she did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there’s her saying that she’ll become Emilia’s apprentice to win Master’s heart through his stomach and make him say, “I’m not letting you sleep tonight.” And the implications of that are that Fl\u00fcgel and Shaula were potentially more than just master and apprentice in my opinion and that she wanted a relationship moreso like what she previously had with Fl\u00fcgel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, I believe Shaula saying that she’d become “the half-witch’s apprentice” to win over Master’s heart shows that she at least knew Satella in the past and drew a parallel between Satella and Emilia in that both of them may have had her master’s affection through their cooking, meaning learning from Emilia, who she likens to Satella, would be a good way of increasing Subaru’s affection for her. Given Shaula specifically singled out Emilia’s cooking rather than Ram’s, I believe there was definitely a point to that. I don’t know if this makes sense to others, but it does to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Satella, Eps., 18, 25, and 38 show Subaru has dormant memories of Satella as shown by how Puck indirectly revealed in Ep. 18 the number of shadow hands Satella could generate to Subaru by asking Petelgeuse to summon 1,000 shadows if he truly wants to kill him, half of what Satella could (2,000), how Subaru used a number associated with Satella (2,000) to indicate his appreciation for Emilia in Ep. 25 when he said that if Emilia named 10 things she hated about herself he\u2019d list 2,000 things he loves about her, which Emilia herself commenting on why he chose 2,000, and how Subaru suddenly had an upwelling of positive emotion for Satella in Ep. 38 that led to him saying he\u2019d save Satella after she asked him to love himself and then some day come kill her, which shows Subaru and Satella may have had a past history together as lovers given just moments ago, Subaru had been calling her an unfathomable monster he could never hope to understand, showing they must\u2019ve had a very positive relationship in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satella saying in Ep. 38 that Subaru gave her everything supports that the two of them have a past history with each other, and Shaula calling Emilia “the half-witch” in Ep. 73 shows she knew that Satella was a witch, so they came from the same time period. While I don’t believe Subaru is fully Fl\u00fcgel and moreso half of Fl\u00fcgel given Naoko in Subaru’s first Sanctuary trial said that all Subaru needs to do is become half as cool as his dad, which is a strange thing to say to your son you know has an inferiority complexity centered around his dad, especially since he’s her husband, and thus, could be foreshadowing of the situation from 400 years ago given Kenichi means “wise man”, Subaru called Fl\u00fcgel a wise man who lived centuries ago, and Shaula called her master, Fl\u00fcgel the Wise Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, I believe Fl\u00fcgel may have had multiple partners with both Satella and Shaula at minimum, and he may not have even been limited to them given Shaula indicated that Fl\u00fcgel isn’t exactly the most kind and big-hearted person around in Ep. 71 since she apparently gets extremely itchy when she tells a very blatant lie and given she praised Subaru making a false accusation as something expected of her master, showing Fl\u00fcgel was a man of questionable character overall. Fl\u00fcgel may have been conceited on some level in the past due to having been handsome and overpowered despite all he did for Satella.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
