About Echidna

Echidna is the Witch of Greed in Re:Zero, closely associated with the Sanctuary storyline and its trials. Her greed takes the form of an extraordinary appetite for knowledge. Polite conversation and offers of guidance make her intriguing, but understanding what she wants is a different matter from accepting what she says.

Who is Echidna in Re:Zero?

Echidna is known as the Witch of Greed. She plays an important role in the Sanctuary storyline, where knowledge, trials and the limits of trusting someone else's guidance become central concerns.

Is Echidna evil? | Season 2 spoilers

Season 2 shows that her apparent helpfulness does not make her a safe or selfless adviser. Her proposed contract is driven by a desire to explore possibilities through Subaru's Return by Death, including paths that would expose him to more suffering. Calling her simply good or evil misses the specific conflict between her curiosity and his wellbeing.

Does Echidna like Subaru? | Season 2 spoilers

She expresses intense interest in Subaru, especially in the possibilities his ability opens to her. That interest and her offer of a contract should not be treated as proof of a straightforward romantic relationship.

Why does Echidna hate Emilia? | Season 2 spoilers

Echidna openly treats Emilia with hostility during the trials. The anime does not give a complete, unambiguous explanation for that hostility. Connections involving Emilia's family or other witches should not be turned into a definitive explanation without further evidence.
