Episode 14 Recap: Five Obstacles
Episode 14, titled “Five Obstacles,” delivered one of the most chaotic sequences in the tower arc so far. The episode began with Subaru waking up after his visit to the Book of Memories, where Beatrice, Emilia, and Anastasia were relieved to see he had not lost his memories again.
Julius delivered urgent news about a Mabeast stampede attacking the Pleiades Watchtower. Shaula was fighting alone to hold the line against the horde, forcing Subaru to quickly gather his team and respond.
Memory Loss Crisis
The situation turned dire when Subaru discovered that Emilia and Ram had not returned from searching for Rem. When the team found Ram, she could no longer recognize Emilia. A Sin Archbishop of Gluttony had attacked her and stolen her memories.
Despite everyone forgetting her, Emilia continued fighting alongside Julius against Lye Batenkaitos. The fight became more complicated when Reid Astrea entered the battlefield, creating a three-way clash.
Subaru’s New Power
During the battle, Subaru felt a strange pain in his chest and entered a trance-like state. He gained a new ability that allowed him to see everyone in the tower as energy signals, letting him track their positions. This appears to be a new type of Authority that will play a crucial role in the episodes ahead.
The Scorpion Transformation and Roy’s Identity
Midway through the episode, a giant scorpion appeared and attacked the party. Subaru began to suspect this was Shaula in her monster form.
The episode ended with a massive revelation. Julius announced that they had found one of the missing Sin Archbishops. The shocking truth: Roy Alphard, the sword master who had easily defeated the Archbishops, is actually the Gluttony Archbishop. Reid’s soul had taken over Roy’s body.
Key Events from Episode 14:
- Emilia’s name was almost completely erased from everyone’s memory
- Subaru awakened a new tracking ability
- Shaula transformed into a terrifying scorpion
- Roy Alphard was revealed as the Gluttony Archbishop
- Ram lost her memories of Emilia and Rem
- Satella made a sudden appearance

What to Expect in Episode 15: A Faithful Star
Episode 15 is titled “A Faithful Star” (一途な星). The preview materials released on September 1, 2026 show that the chaos inside the tower is far from over.
Reid is now freely roaming the tower after taking over Roy Alphard’s body. The team faces five major obstacles:
- A stampede of Witchbeasts
- Two Sin Archbishops
- A giant scorpion that suddenly appeared
- A rising pitch-black shadow
- The overwhelming power of Reid
To overcome these challenges, Subaru uses Return by Death and pressures Shaula to reveal the hidden rules of the “Trial”. The episode marks the beginning of a “death-based experimentation” to conquer the Pleiades Watchtower.
The episode features scriptwriting by Hideki Umehara, storyboarding by Hidekazu Hara and Masayuki Kojima, and animation direction by a large team of talented animators.
The key question of Episode 15 will be: What is Roy Alphard’s situation? Is he genuinely the missing Sin Archbishop, or is there a more complicated situation going on with him?
Shaula’s scorpion transformation has left many unanswered questions, and Ram’s amnesia has created even more urgency. Subaru’s new Authority will be tested as Satella and the Return by Death checkpoints continue to complicate matters.
