The third season of Re:ZERO has also been leaked

The first episode of the third season of the anime "Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World" has been completely leaked on the internet and with excellent quality. The episode, which is available in 1080p quality with French subtitles, suggests that the leak comes from materials intended for the Japan Expo Paris 2024 event, where an early premiere of the first episode with an extended duration was planned as an exclusive benefit for attendees.

The curious thing about the case is that Crunchyroll had canceled this screening for fear that someone from the audience would record and distribute the episode on the Internet, and now the source material has been leaked directly to them. This situation has generated great controversy among fans and the anime industry in general.

"Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World" is an anime series based on the light novels written by Tappei Nagatsuki and has gained significant popularity since its premiere in 2016. The story follows Subaru Natsuki, a young man who is transported to a fantasy world where he discovers that he has the ability to go back in time every time he dies, allowing him to right his wrongs and face various challenges. The series is known for its complex and emotional plot, as well as its character development.

Leaks of anime episodes, especially of a long-awaited series like "Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World," have mixed effects on the industry. On the one hand, leaks can lead to an increase in interest and anticipation among fans, as it gives them the opportunity to watch the content before its official release. This can translate into more conversation and publicity on social media.

However, leaks also have significant negatives. First of all, they can affect the sales and viewership of official episodes, as some fans may choose to watch the leaked version instead of waiting for the legitimate release. In addition, leaks can compromise the relationship of trust between content creators and distribution platforms, such as Crunchyroll, which invest time and resources in the promotion and distribution of episodes.

In the case of "Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World", the leak of the first episode of the third season is particularly unfortunate, as Crunchyroll had taken steps to avoid this type of situation by canceling the screening at the Japan Expo Paris 2024 event. This leak not only undermines those efforts, but also highlights the difficulties the anime industry faces in protecting its content in the digital age.
