Fourier never appeared in the main series, but man, he's actually really funny. Absolutely like Subaru in his behavior but less cringe that stems from realism and second-hand embarrassment. Just friends being friends

Since I got my hands on that EX novel, I'm gonna pitch some moments of him so he's at least remembered if his name is brought up. I'll include some pictures for reference, and won't include the whole thing to avoid spoilers

1. This one can be found on the wiki as is: he fell in love with Crusch at first sight, but the moment she saw him, she threatened him with a knife in his own house—she then proceeded to almost attempt suicide for her mistake

2. He's so much like Subaru. He's loud, brash, in love with a girl at first sight, has small worries that he blows out of proportion unless they're absolutely important and life-changing like impending death, falls to his knees in anime-style sulking when told he's not as manly/strong as he wants to be to the girl he likes...

3. After seeing Crusch, you see how there's a guy chasing him in the first picture? That's his tutor. Fourier proceeded to slap him in the face ("MY EYE!!" screamed in comical fashion), drag him down a hall, and make him hit his head on every column and wall in existence

4. In the second picture, where Crusch holds a dagger, Fourier backtracks over it a lot like Subaru would

Fourier: Who would give their daughter a dagger on their birthday? They've no sense.

Crusch: Your Highness, I asked for this dagger from my father as a gift that day.

Fourier: Yep! Your father's the most sensible man ever! Daggers, wonderful gifts to young girls, they are!

5. That illustration of him and Crusch in a sword fight? He did that so Crusch would wear a dress.

Crusch sees him about to fall over like a shaking fawn, pathetic with trembling legs and supporting himself on his sword. He's exhausted and wanting to pass out or cry, and Crusch is like "Should we stop?"

And Fourier is all "NO!" and charges in with war cries the entire time.

"YAAAAAHHHH! CRUUUSCH! WEAR A DRESSS!!!"

I crap not, that's all he shouted, and it kinda scared Crusch.

"Wear makeup! Like flowers! Wear jewelry! Show me that beautiful smileeee!!! Uwaaaaaa!!!"

That's his motivation. It's hilarious and also sad, because he knows he probably hurt Crusch a lot for not letting her wear dresses. He's so exhausted by the end of it that he literally passes out on the ground after Crusch cedes it's her defeat

6. He didn't know Ferris was a boy. So when he had Ferris pose as his fiancee after Crusch couldn't so he could turn down his marriage prospect,

He did so, thinking Ferris was a girl. He only found out afterwards.

Also, before they actually went through with the plan, Fourier was raring to pretend being Crusch's lover, and getting all flustered at the idea. Imagine servant Subaru being all blushy over going on a date with Emilia and wiggling around. Not very different

"M-Me... and Crusch..!!"

"Compose yourself, my prince!"

- Fourier and Ferris, off of memory

7. The castle rumored that Fourier was gay, because he declared he loved Ferris, no matter his gender.

"As long as you're you..!"

Which is really sweet (how Fourier loves him). Still, Ferris worried he hated him after the reveal.

Ferris and Crusch are discussing this new rumor as Ferris is afraid of confronting Fourier after he learned he was a male... then His Highness comes barreling in, basically screaming and crying

"Crusch! Ferris! It's horrible, oh so horrible! I need you two now through the worst struggle of my life! Where are my two trusted people?!"

Because he literally just heard the rumor himself.

I think he was afraid that Crusch wouldn't love him if she thought he was batting for the other team, and that's why he stressed over the rumor? He also feared Crusch not liking him if he got fat

He's so fricken funny and this is just from me skimming the book. I haven't sat down to read it through, but just by skimming, Fourier and Subaru behave so similarly that it's just- my gosh.

Do Ferris and Crusch look at Subaru and think of the prince? When Subaru shouted and disrupted the Royal Selection gathering, and Julius probably saw Joshua, did those two see Fourier?

Granted, Fourier is more wise and composed than Subaru, and probably would've been more graceful about his interruptions, but the shouting of what he wants and thinks when riled up? The "wisdom" (knowledge) that comes out of nowhere, which both Fourier and Subaru have? (Fourier from instinct, Subaru from Return By Death)

Fourier wanted so badly to let Crusch be a woman, and fawned over her beauty and just wanted her to enjoy typical things of women. Subaru kicks his blanket like it's personally assaulting him, just thinking of multiple Emilias as he tries to sleep, and isn't afraid of showing his affection throughout the entire series

On the point of affection, neither of them are afraid of showing it to people they care about. Subaru braids hair, plays with kids, compliments outfits and smiles, Fourier hugs and tells his dreams of futures with his friends and has dances with them, etc.

(They even have the penchant of acting like things are fine to Julius by not telling him anything before they literally collapse in front of him [Fourier in a carriage, Subaru being possessed], leaving Julius to deal with them when things go south)

(On that note, it's sweet that Julius always calls for Ferris when someone is hurting, because he knows who can help best)

Anyway, Fourier? Funny kid. Resembles Subaru. Parallels can probably be drawn from them. Is important to the development of Crusch and Ferris, so it's not bad to remember him. The history of the royal family should come into play when regarding the Archbishop of Lust and Felt, too.

Screenshots of my favourite moments of Re:Zero Ex 1

Clearly, you're allergic to her. It's the only explanation.

Well said, your majesty.

(Calm down Finn. Just because a character has difficultly distinguishing different types of attraction, which is a trait found in some autistic people, doesn't mean that you have to go headcanoning that character-)

LOVE WINS (Technically, this is an elaborate ruse, so you shouldn't take what they're saying as any indication that-) SHUT UP LOVE WINS

Fellas, is it gay to tell another man that you don't mind being treated as his lover? (Technically-) LOVE WINS SHUT UP

(Calm down, Finn, just because a character takes things literally, which is a trait found in some autistic people, doesn't mean that you have to go headcanoning that character-)

Alright. Meckart's cool. He's doing his best. It might not be a lot , but he's trying.

Re: Zero, if you keep talking about how Crusch isn't able to distinguish different types of attraction, takes statements at face value, and often comes off as very direct in her way of speaking, I WILL start headcanoning her as autistic. Don't test me. I'll do it. You can't stop me.

No one in this freaking franchise gets to have a normal backstory huh? Oh Felix? The catboy? the healer? the one who wears a dress? Yeah he was locked in a basement for the first 10 years of his life. Classic backstory stuff right there.

Wow, I wonder if this is foreshadowing something. Eh, probably not.

Gasp! Who could have predicted this! There wasn't even any foreshadowing!

In conclusion, Fourier Lugunica was just too good of a person, so he and the rest of the royal family had to be killed off because we can't have nice things.

Overall, a very fun read, Excited to see what the other Ex novels are like.

ficlets-i-wrote-and-translated-in-the-middle-of-night, re: zero, modern au crusch/fourier/ferris

this one is actually the scene that i originally envisioned in my fic about them but it didn't work out. the fic itself is in russian so uh. do what you will with that.

"how are you? not stuffy? how's the head? is there no noise in your ears?" ferris asks again, feeling fourier's forehead and throat. crusch watches her palm intently. uneasiness is throbbing in her chest, her brain pounding: your-fault your-fault your-fault.

"i'm fine, ferris," fourier sighs. the air is whistling in his lungs. "despite the misconceptions of the general public… i'm still not sweet enough to melt in the sun."

"you!.. oh, go to hell!" ferris snorts and scowls, but seems calmer now. crash returns her attention to the engine.

but what else is there to watch: there are no miracles, it's time for her to face the truth.

"bad news," she says, pausing — why? — anyway, "the radiator cracked. with this… you won't get far, unfortunately."

ferris covers her face with her hands. inhales the air convulsively. removes her hands.

"should i call a tow truck then?" she asks in her almost normal voice, reaching for the phone in her purse.

crusch bites her lip.

"i think so. fourier, i really am so…

"mhm-m," fourier stops her with a gesture. he sips from a can of coke: crusch doesn't even know where he got it from, she doesn't keep stuff like this in her car. it must be ferris—but wasn't it she who told them, making a scary face, about all its dangers for teeth and stomach?

a special case, imagines she ferris, shrugging helplessly.

fourier puts the can on the trunk with an unnecessarily loud thunk.

"can we pretend there's no signal here? at least, let's say… for a couple of hours."

crusch and ferris look at each other uncomprehendingly.

the corner of fourier's lips goes up.

"i've never been in a car accident in my life."

ferris chokes on air indignantly. fourier chuckles.

"you know, stuck in the middle of nowhere, far from civilization with a gorgeous lady… and with a stern driver up to her ears in engine oil… an exciting scenario, eh? crusch, it suits you amazingly, by the way. ferris! ferris! i'm kidding! just kidding!

ferris slams her purse into her palm as a warning sign.

"just… a small change of scenery to a more exciting one", fourier looks away to the right side of the road: further, crush remembers (she mentioned it a minute before the accident, didn't she?) there was an unremarkable gas station just behind this hill and sparse trees shown on navigator, " for a while."

she and ferris exchange glances again, this time helplessly. that's a lot of their conversations lately, isn't it? wordless staring behind fourier's back.

"this… it would be terribly irresponsible, your highness," crusch finally squeezes out.

fourier shrugs his shoulders.

"yeah"

he crosses his legs, almost scratching the paint. crusch looks at him: sitting on the trunk of her car, wearing his own t-shirt, bought for a mere pittance in some second-hand store and now too big for him, with a haggard face and permanent bruises under his eyes.

there is neither determination nor response in ferris' face: she looks at crusch, lost and expectant.

crusch slams the hood carelessly, too roughly.

"okay."

capella alludes to a chimera

Something that's always intrigued me is the meaning of Capella's name. Back in July 2014, near the end of Arc 4's run in the Web Novel, the author answered a question about Regulus's Authority and stated it was unrelated to the mythos of the Nemean Lion.

Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 This question was asked and answered before Capella's introduction in Arc 5. And yet, in November of that same year, a scene in Chapter 36 of Arc 5, which was also adapted into Volume 17, had a scene which could potentially tie the meaning of Capella's name to mythology. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 Two chapters before this scene, the meaning of Capella's name was established as “she-goat” (雌ヤギ), and the literal meaning of “chimera”, a term for a hybrid creature in ancient Greek mythology, is also “she-goat” (牝山羊). Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 The mythological chimera was a three-headed monster with the frontal head of a lion, the head of a serpent or dragon on its tail, and the head of a goat in the center. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 In the aforementioned section of Arc 5, Capella transforms her respective arms into the head of a lion and the head of a serpent. With her name meaning she-goat, Capella herself is the stand-in for the goat. So, does this mean her Authority is tied to the mythological chimera?

Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 That's all I can really see for a direct tie, at least when it comes to her Authority. As stated above, Capella's name could signify that she is a stand-in for a goat. There are also ways she's tied to a "lion" and a "serpent". Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 The lion was once the symbol of the royal family. Capella claims the name of Emerada Lugunica, a purportedly deceased princess of the royal family, and her gold hair and crimson eyes reflect the appearance of the family's members. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 The possibility exists that she IS Emerada Lugunica. She ultimately relies on her own intuition over the judgement of her Gospel, which she uses as a suggestion. From the vague information we have, someone with the qualities of a Lion King possesses uncanny intuition and insight. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 While Fourier was still a child, Miklotov implies that someone from two generations ago had the qualities of a Lion King. This was also the era in which Emerada was still alive, opening up the door for his words being a reference to her. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 Capella's "ties" to a serpent may have a double meaning. On one hand, there is the Black Serpent. According to Ferris in the Intersecting Hopes chapter from One Day II, its poison killed the royal family. It's also often speculated that Capella was responsible for their doom. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 On the other hand, there is Roy Alphard, whose name signifies his own ties to the serpent. It's heavily implied that Capella, as “Mother”, has Roy as one of her children. The two of them were at Priestella's City Hall together, Roy mentions “Mama” before eating Joshua, […] Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 Rui says that her brother is “that woman’s yes-man” in Volume 20, and when mentioning the other Sin Archbishops in the Web Novel, Capella specifically calls out Bizarre Eating over choosing to mention Gluttony in general. To put it another way… Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 Capella being connected to the serpent may indicate that Roy serves her as one of her children, and by extension, it could denote her role as Mother, the enigmatic figure who was responsible for forcing people like Elsa, Meili, Reisel, and Sithonia to do her bidding. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 Looking at it in this way, supposing that the decision to give her the heads of a lion and a snake on each of her arms, denoting a potential connection to the chimera, was intentional, the way it could broadly link to aspects of Capella's character is pretty thought-provoking. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 It's easy to overlook symbolism. So, although there isn't exactly any tangible connection Capella has to a lion or a serpent, by viewing her connections to those creatures from a symbolic angle, you can get more out of it with this imaginative perspective. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 And thus, instead of attempting to theorize how Capella could die in the exact way that the chimera did or something based on the rationale of the possibility that her name is meant to express a direct parallel to the chimera, I've instead focused on this neat symbolism angle. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 That's all for this thread. As always, thank you all for reading! Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 One more thing. Although I came to the conclusion that Capella could have a symbolic connection to the lion and serpent of the chimera by myself and more or less posted these exact views on how to Reddit in late 2022, I wasn't the first person to point out the chimera connection. Shadow @ShadowKoto · Feb 24 From what I can tell, it appears that the first person who noticed it was actually Yumiya-san! Here's a link to his original post regarding the subject from July 2020:

"

By the way, the word "capella" comes from "chimera", which means "female goat", and it appears that Chimera's cause of death was suffocation due to her throat being choked with lead melted by the heat of the flames.

I do have the impression that suffocation would be effective against an immortal opponent like Capella.

" ( tappei stated Camilla would be able to beat her

Oh my goodness, there's a semi-official comparison between Capella and a chimera!?!?! I'm not sure whether to say this adds to the credibility of the meaning of her name being a reference to the chimera, as both it and Capella mean "she-goat", but it's VERY interesting.

[No.85 Capella]

This is “Capella” who is in charge of Witch Cult Sin Bishop “Lust” 😱

This person has changed completely, becoming a person with a strange appearance like a chimera 👾 Various parts are designed in great detail 🧐
