The Loss Arc is over, Emilia has sung again, and the calendar now says August 12. After the emotionally devastating Season 4 Episode 11 finale aired yesterday, White Fox and the Re:ZERO4 PARTNERS production committee have locked in the second half of Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World Season 4: The Recapture Arc begins on Crunchyroll on August 12, 2026.
Re:ZERO Season 4 Part 2: Date, Episodes, and What to Expect
Following the 11-episode Loss Arc that wrapped on June 17, The Recapture Arc runs for 8 additional episodes — bringing Season 4’s total to 19 episodes across both consecutive cours. The arc picks up the threads left brutally hanging by the Loss Arc’s finale: Rem remains trapped in an unending sleep, Crusch has lost her memories, and Julius had his very name devoured by the Authority of Gluttony. Subaru and his allies must now fight to reclaim everything that was taken from them in the city of Priestella.
Season 4 adapts Arc 5 and Arc 6 of Tappei Nagatsuki’s light novel, two of the most ambitious and emotionally punishing story sections in the franchise. Part 2 is expected to delve deeper into Arc 6, which had not been adapted in animated form before this season.
Stay Alive ~Regain~ Is Out Now on Streaming
Alongside the key visual reveal, a special new recording of Re:ZERO’s iconic Season 1 ending theme has been released. “Stay Alive ~Regain~” is performed once again by Rie Takahashi in her role as Emilia, composed and written by Heart’s Cry — the same creative team behind the 2016 original. The track debuted at the close of Season 4 Episode 11 and is now available on digital streaming platforms worldwide as of today, June 18.
Speaking about the new performance, Takahashi said she “embraced it with the warmth that Emilia carries in her heart today,” as shared via Anime Corner. For fans who remember that song from Season 1, hearing it again at this point in the story hits completely differently.
Anime Expo 2026 Early Screening and Singapore Streaming
Before August 12 rolls around, Singapore-based fans heading to Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles — or following it remotely — will get early impressions to look forward to: Episode 1 of The Recapture Arc is scheduled for a theatrical screening on July 3 as part of KADOKAWA’s Anime 10th Anniversary Panel.
For Singapore fans staying home, the series streams on Crunchyroll, which is available here with weekly simulcast access. If you haven’t caught up on Season 4 Part 1 yet, all 11 Loss Arc episodes are already live — you have roughly seven weeks before Part 2 begins. Check out our other anime coverage for more seasonal picks in the meantime.
Last words
Re:ZERO has never been kind to its characters, and the Loss Arc proved once again that Nagatsuki is in no hurry to give Subaru anything he hasn’t bled for first. August 12 and eight episodes to go. Get your re-watch in, stream “Stay Alive ~Regain~” to prepare yourself emotionally, and mark the calendar — The Recapture Arc is almost here.
