The full name of 7th Time Loop has the word "villainess" in it.
Rishe is nothing like a villain, though.
This word might have been used without a particular meaning.
Rishe might also be good at hiding her dark side.
There are a countless number of villainess anime series that keep coming each season. It sometimes feels like authors just like adding the word "villainess" in their titles to make them more appealing. Let's be honest, we all love female villains.
And 7th Time Loop (Loop 7-kaime) feels like the type of series that have this word only for the sake of having it, and not because it features an actual villainess.
Rishe is the main protagonist of the series, and she's nothing but admirable. It feels like she can do anything, be it an insightful gardening lesson or a sword fight. She's very genuine, likable and clever. Rishe cares about other people and their feelings and wants to help them as much as she can.
She's kind even to someone like Theodore who captures her and tries to hurt her. Rishe is ready to listen to him and understand his side. How can you call someone like that a villainess?
Why is it in the title then?
There are actually two theories that may answer this question, and let's start with the one that seems simpler: it's there just to attract your attention.
No matter how many villainess series we've already got, we can be sure of one thing: there are more coming. And we can be this confident because they're all very popular among certain audiences. So the word "villainess" might be in the title of 7th Time Loop just to lure you in.
However, there's also another theory: what if Rishe is really a villainess? We know that she's already been through 6 lives, we know that she's had all sorts of experiences, why couldn't one of them teach her how to pretend well?
One of the recent episodes showed us the darker side of Rishe: she was very explicit when she was educating Theodore on how to properly capture a person. How does she know all of that, though? Is it possible that she had to torture people in one of her previous lives?
It's possible that the series has been lying to us all this time, and Rishe is actually the villain of the story. We've been told that Arnold was the one to start the war that resulted in Rishe's death in her previous lives. But what if she's the one to blame?
On top of that, there's still a chance that Rishe will become evil in the future. We know there's certain darkness to her, so it's possible that some events might evoke this side of her. We don't want that to happen, if we're being honest, but can't deny that it would be very interesting.
Rishe is more of a hero, if we're being honest.
