The second half of Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World Season 4 has a name, a release date, and a key visual: The Recapture Arc runs for eight episodes and premieres on 12 August 2026. Crunchyroll will stream it outside Japan, so Singapore subscribers are locked in for day-one simulcast.
The Loss Arc Wraps — 19 Episodes in Two Parts
Season 4 is structured across 19 episodes split into two arcs. Part 1 — the “Loss Arc” — ran for 11 episodes and concluded on 17 June 2026, closing out one of the most gruelling stretches in the series’ run. Without going into spoilers: it delivers exactly what its name promises. WHITE FOX is animating the season, with Masahiro Shinohara directing.
Part 2, the Recapture Arc, picks up directly from those events. Story details are deliberately sparse on the official side, which we will respect here — if you haven’t finished the Loss Arc yet, now is the time to catch up before August.
Emilia’s Song Returns: “Stay Alive ~Regain~”
Alongside the new key visual, the production released a special studio performance video for “Stay Alive ~Regain~” — a rearrangement of the iconic Season 1 ending theme. It is performed by Rie Takahashi in character as Emilia, making this the first time she has performed as the character since Season 1. Given everything that happens in the Loss Arc, the timing is not a coincidence. The track is available now on digital music platforms, with music production by KADOKAWA.
Episode 1 Screens at Anime Expo 2026 on 3 July
Before the August broadcast, the Recapture Arc’s first episode gets an early screening at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles on 3 July, as part of KADOKAWA’s 10th Anniversary Panel — the same event celebrating KonoSuba and Bungo Stray Dogs. Singapore fans making the trip or following the event online will get their first look ahead of the general premiere.
Last words
Re:ZERO Season 4 is already shaping up as the most emotionally ambitious arc the series has tackled, and the Recapture Arc title alone raises the stakes for what comes next. If you have been sleeping on this season, the Loss Arc is fully available on Crunchyroll right now — catch up before 12 August. For more anime news and coverage, check our Manga Anime section.
