The main synopsis of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 is described as:
In the deadly battle at the Watergate City of Priestella, Subaru and his allies barely emerged victorious—but their triumph came at a great cost.
Through the “Authority of Gluttony,” Rem remains in an unending sleep, while Crusch’s memories and even Julius’s name were devoured. As he searches for a way to save them, Subaru learns of the “wise man” Shaula—an all-seeing being said to possess every form of knowledge.
His next destination is the Pleiades Watchtower, home to a wise man, the farthest tower standing in the vast, uncharted desert known as the Auguria Dunes—a place so perilous that even the mightiest “Sword Saint,” Reinhard, failed to conquer it.
The fury of nature, unknown mabeasts, and unimaginable dangers lie ahead.
Together with his friends, Subaru embarks on a life-risking journey to reclaim what was lost.
