Notes for nerds
Per-episode volume numbers come from the Re:Zero Fandom wiki episode table; season-level ranges agree with Wikipedia (Season 2 = Arc 4, Season 4 = Arc 6 / Volumes 21-25). Episodes are numbered continuously (Season 2 starts at 26, Season 3 at 51, Season 4 at 67), as Crunchyroll and the wiki list them; some platforms number each season from 1 (subtract 25, 50 or 66). The Director's Cut of Season 1 (13 hour-long episodes) is not mapped separately. The OVAs Memory Snow (2018) and The Frozen Bond (2019) adapt side material (Short Story Collection Vol. 2 and the Frozen Bond side novel), not the main volumes, so they are left out. sourceTotal counts main-series volumes only (46 as of September 2026), excluding Ex and short-story volumes.
