Subaru Natsuki, the protagonist of Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, is known for his ability ""Return by Death,"" which causes him to respawn at a set point in time after dying. As a result, Subaru has died dozens of times throughout the series, with the exact number varying depending on whether you refer to the Web Novel (WN), Light Novel (LN), or anime adaptation.

Here’s a breakdown of Subaru’s confirmed and estimated deaths across major arcs:

Arc-by-Arc Death Count (Approximate):
Arc 1 (Meeting Emilia):

Web Novel / Light Novel: 3 deaths

Arc 2 (Roswaal Manor):

Web Novel / Light Novel: 4 deaths

Arc 3 (Royal Selection / White Whale):

Web Novel: 6 deaths

Light Novel: 5 deaths

Arc 4 (Sanctuary):

Web Novel / Light Novel: 8 deaths

Arc 5 (City Invasion):

Web Novel / Light Novel: 4 deaths

Arc 6 (Library / Pleiades Watchtower):

Web Novel / Light Novel: 7 deaths

Arc 7 (Chaosflame and Vollachia):

Web Novel only so far: Hundreds (estimated)

Due to a 10-second looping checkpoint and continuous trial sequences, Subaru dies repeatedly—sometimes multiple times per minute. Though no official count exists, fan estimates place his deaths in the hundreds or more during this arc alone.

Total Estimated Deaths
By the end of Arc 6, Subaru has died approximately 30–35 times, depending on the source. With Arc 7’s extreme looping, his total death count likely exceeds 300 or more, making him one of the most frequently ""killed"" protagonists in anime and light novel history.

Why the Number Varies
The exact count is not canonically confirmed and varies between the Web Novel, Light Novel, and anime.

Some deaths are brief or off-screen, while others happen in unseen loops, especially in Arc 7.

The series emphasizes emotional impact over numerical tracking, focusing on how Subaru’s experiences shape him over time.

In summary: Subaru Natsuki has canonically died at least 35 times, with the true number likely surpassing 300, especially in Arc 7. This staggering total highlights the emotional and psychological weight behind his power—Return by Death is not a gift, but a curse.

For eight years in a marriage devoid of light, I had abortions five times. Every time, Sam would grip my hand when I woke up, his eyes red, and promise to find the best doctors to help me recover. After the third miscarriage, he finally hired a team of top-tier nutritionists, ensuring that every single meal was planned perfectly. He always comforted me, "Don't worry, Penny. We're still young, so we can have another baby!" When I found out I was pregnant again, snowflakes were dancing outside my window. I wrapped my fur coat tightly around my body and rushed to the company, only to hear Wren's furious voice outside the VIP suite, "Are you insane? Those five babies were your own flesh and blood!" Sam replied coldly, "Nicole needs specimen for her experiments. All I'm doing is providing her with the materials she needs." His words dug into my heart like icy spikes, and I could even hear my own bones cracking. "As for Penelope…" He chuckled. "Do you think that our marriage certificate is the real deal?" Snowflakes stung my face like needles, and I finally found out the truth about our marriage. From the very beginning, I was nothing more than a living test subject for the woman he truly loved. Sam was right. Those unborn children never even had legal identities, and were worth less than a piece of paper, just like my so-called marriage. Glass shattered from inside the room, and I could hear Wren cursing, but I turned and walked towards the elevator. Since Sam's priority was Nicole and nothing else, I was hell-bent on making him pay the price.

My Cub Died
He was tricked into the Lone Wolf’s den and fell into a silver trap. The trap was filled with countless silver nails that burned into his wounds. He had a chance to survive—even if he would lose his Inner Wolf, at least his life could be saved, as long as he could be treated by the healer. But my Alpha husband, Anthony, the noble leader of the wolf pack, took the only healer away, giving him to his white moonlight son, Lucas, to treat his wounds. Meanwhile, our son, in the treatment room next door, could not heal from the silver-inflicted wounds. His blood flowed continuously until his golden wolf eyes lost all their light. I mentally reached out to Anthony, begging him to let me see our son one last time, but in the eyes of that high-and-mighty Alpha, there was nothing but disgust for our child. "Your son is truly ‘exceptional’—weak like a pup, yet he dared to enter the Lone Wolf’s den!" "Lucas nearly got pierced by a silver blade trying to save him! And what did your son do? He ran away without a second thought!" "I will not acknowledge such a cowardly bloodline! From this day on, his right to inherit is revoked!" After he spoke, he severed the mental link. My blood froze in my veins. In that moment, my dying cub shared his memories with me— I saw Lucas drive the silver nails into his own palm. I saw him turn and flee when the Lone Wolf attacked, while my child, despite trembling in pain, chose to fight the Lone Wolf to protect the pack. Until the very end, he fulfilled the duty of an Alpha’s son. And Anthony dares to say he is unworthy of the “Alpha bloodline”? That night, the moonlight over the wolf territory turned crimson. Anthony, you will soon realize— It wasn’t just my son’s flesh that was pierced by silver, but your prejudice as well! Your prejudice killed your own child.

Who Died In The Outsiders

In the classic novel 'The Outsiders' by S. E. Hinton, three main characters meet a tragic end. They are: Johnny, Dally, and Bob. Johnny Cade dies at 16, but not before he has already made a name for himself as one of the most tragic figures in Hinton 's story. With severe burns and a back broken in three places, Johnny's death is one of the most piercing images in S. E. Hinton 's novel. These wounds are inflicted when he and his pal Ponyboy Curtis dash into a burning church in order to save some trapped children. Although they come through with the kids alive, Johnny is hurt too badly and eventually dies in hospital as a direct result of that injury. His death is particularly significant from the viewpoint of the story because he's an outstanding example of all that we mean by good character. Even at his young age he was always there to help out whichever way he could for other people. Dally Winston, another greaser, is so distraught by Johnny's death that he breaks down. He robs a grocery store and deliberately starts a confrontation with the cops, fully aware that it will end in his own death. Brandishing an empty gun frantically at the police, he is shot dead. His death is a tragic moment in the book, representing as it does the frustration and despair felt by some young people in their existence. Bob Sheldon, a Soc (short for "Socials," the rich kids in the story), is Johnny's killer. Unlike Johnny or Dally, Bob is presented as nothing but an insufferably violent bully who constantly picks on the Greasers. One night Bob and a bunch of Socs pick on Ponyboy and Johnny in a park. During the brawl, Bob drowns Ponyboy in a fountain. To save his buddy Johnny stabs Bob, whom he kills. Bob's death is a turning point in the story, marking an intensification of the enmity between the Greasers and the Socs.
