I'm just going to say put yourself in his position. cause if you think after seeing everyone you love dead, that you'll be able to think rationally you're insane. You're missing the entire point if you expect him to act rationally cause he's already broken. Any HUMAN would be. You get transported to an alternate world no clue how you got there and get killed just to repeat it over again. There is only so much you can take until you break which subaru did.  After what happened to Rem he's now pissed beyond reason and only cares about one thing, destryong the witch's cult, in other words he's blinded by hatred and still can't think rationally.  

I was talking about him in the overall sense. He's not a rational person for the most part but he needs to be. Personally, I'm a kind of a cold person and i don't like emotional people (overly emotional to me). From day 1, he's been too busy trying to get into Emilia's good graces and be chubby with her inner circle that he often doesn't think until he dies or made a mistake. It's evident during the "Return to the capital" and "Self-proclaimed knight natsuki" episodes.

I'm not blaming him for snapping after what happened in the newer episodes but alot of the difficulty he faces comes from his own choices during the periods of peace or periods in between deaths. Wearing a tracksuit, knowing he's going to go into a life or death situation is just idiotic. Use a bit of that big bag of coin to buy some equipment instead of hiring a bunch of wagons knowing they'll likely get attacked. 

One of the reasons why I expect him to think more rationally is because he knows he can reset back a few days after he dies, he should have become somewhat desensitized to dying and his friends dying. He knows it's not set in stone. To make the most use of his ability, he needs to think but he doesn't. My guess is that he was selected by whatever brought him there because he's not that bright and he could be manipulated easily. 

... I.. I don't... Subaru has been broken for a while now and Emilia was the one thing that kept him going, she technically turned her back on him during that time which was the final straw breaking his sanity. He is currently mad. (btw the lap pillow scene is when he started to worship her as a person who will always understand him) Again, you can't expect him to be sane after what he has gone through. Imagine dying over and over again and reawakening back in hell. He can't escape it by dying cause he just respawns and he is forced to go through this over and over again. He broke more than once, each time falling further and further into despair. You seriously can't expect anybody in this world to be sane after that.  Logical thinking for him is gone right now.
