Rick and Morty: The Anime Teases Elle's Origins With Episode 6 Preview

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for animated series that push boundaries and challenge the status quo, I must say that the latest installment of Rick and Morty: The Anime has truly piqued my interest. With its unique blend of familiar characters and fresh, innovative storylines, it’s been a captivating ride so far.


The anime adaptation of “Rick and Morty,” titled Rick and Morty: The Anime, has now reached its midway point, and a glimpse into the upcoming episode hints at the enigmatic background of the character Elle. Rick and Morty: The Anime commenced its journey with Adult Swim this Summer, offering fans an innovative perspective on the main characters as they delve into uncharted territories of the multiverse. Alongside this fresh anime comes a number of new characters exclusive to the franchise, who have remained shrouded in mystery due to their absence from the original animated series.

In the unique spin on the Rick and Morty multiverse presented in Rick and Morty: The Anime’s earlier episodes, viewers were introduced to a cryptic new character named Elle. She initially appeared as a time-manipulating warrior and someone who shares an immediate bond with Morty. Despite her apparent connections with the Galactic Federation in prior episodes, a sneak peek at Episode 6 hints at a fresh perspective when she encounters Space Beth for the first time. Here’s a look at the preview for Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 6:

Rick and Morty: Who Is Elle?

In a novel twist to the Rick and Morty universe, Elle made her debut in the inaugural episode of Rick and Morty: The Anime. This spin-off anime series introduced several fresh elements to the show’s narrative, one of which was the introduction of Elle as a character, who developed a romantic connection with Morty. The first episode also marked the first time fans encountered Elle, and it set the stage for Rick’s creation of an entropy device that has since influenced each subsequent episode’s exploration of space and time.

Across different timelines and realities, Morty has had diverse relationships with Elle. It’s evident that she has been making efforts to reconnect with him in every appearance so far. However, things have not been straightforward, as an alien version of Elle was part of the resistance, battling against the Galactic Federation, aside from trying to rekindle her connection with Morty. Now, the situation is even more intricate, as suggested by a sneak peek into Episode 6, where Elle encounters Space Beth for the first time.

How to Watch Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 6

Initially, we find Elle working within the Galactic Federation, capturing Space Beth. However, it becomes apparent to her that there’s something else she needs to pursue, possibly finding Morty. In terms of the series chronology (disregarding the recent “Antiverse” revelation), since Elle also hints that Morty will acknowledge Space Beth, this incident appears to have taken place before the show’s main events. By the series premiere, Space Beth had already become part of the Smith Family. Elle’s words suggest she’s glimpsing into the future, as they’re destined to meet again.

You’ll get to witness the outcome of this situation very soon, and that’s in Episode 6 of “Rick and Morty: The Anime” titled “Free Will”. It will air its English dub on Adult Swim on Thursday, September 19th at midnight, followed by its Japanese release on Saturday, September 21st as part of the Toonami programming block. A day after that, you can stream it on Max. The episode hints at Morty and Elle being reunited, but there’s a secret Space Beth and Rick are hiding…
