Natsuki Subaru will never be dethroned as my favorite fictional character. In all honesty he is my own personal Spider Man, the embodiment of hope and perseverance through the dread that life brings; no other character has been such a motivational beacon of the thematic messages Ive needed to keep going. At my lowest points Subaru as a concept helped me map my way through the internal and external pain, helping me tell myself that things will get better and that I have to stand even when I want to just lie in the dirt and let myself be trampled on by life. I dont know the sheer amount of personal growth his character has inspired to bloom in me, but I know that enduring the stuff Ive endured wouldve been so much harder, especially when I was 18-20. One day Re:Zero may be dethroned as my favorite series, especially if it has a harem ending, however I cannot see a character having more of an impact on me than Natsuki Subaru.
