Yeah, I forgot about the pride thing. It does make some amount of senses, but only on the confrontation between Subaru and Emila, where he made an ass of himself. Before that, Subaru hated Julius' guts are literally no reason. Except for the fact that Julius, a knight, held a royal position, hand and kissed it(?).
I don't know, I just felt that it was rushed through of how quickly Subaru acted like Julius killed his entire family because of that. Just feels really off and makes Subaru unbearable because he can't get over himself.
Ram doesn't seems to be wearing Witch Cult attire in my opinion, though I'm curious of what's going on with her.
