The moment I'm talking about is episode 22 of the anime when he's possessing
the body of a female cult member, and a little red ball comes swirling by.

Is there any additional significance to it that I'm not aware of or just
Betelgeuse being crazy?

Watching the next episode makes me better aware of the fact Julius was keeping
an eye on Subaru. However I assume there's little Julius/Ia could have done to
help (or he would've done that already considering the rather dire
lifethreatening situation Subaru was, being crushed into the tree).

question
re-zero
Why does Betelgeuse freak out at the presence of a "lesser spirit" in episode 22?


After Betelgeuse die he became some sort of quasi spirit himself allowing him
to possess those who are spirit compatible or lacking in sanity, in this case
the fingers , Subaru and skip by the anime, Julius (The guy got his own
issue).

Julius however cannot be possessed due to having six guardian spirits. This
did not allow him to choose Julius as a host after the last of the fingers
were eliminated but instead tried for the next best thing which is Subaru. if
he did tried to possessed Julius. Betelgeuse must fight against the other six
spirits and that can cause severe pain to the mind of the host which may cause
him to be ejected and die for real.

Subaru to was having the same problem like Betelgeuse but we saw it much
clearly, severe headache when the spirit try to cleanse him of Ram illusion

Even when Subaru has IA ,Julius lesser fire spirit to help him Subaru is not
the true pact wielder of the spirit making him vulnerable to possession.

But still wanting Julius as a body due to his more powerful body Subaru was
taken hostage to try to get Julius to get rid of his pact , not wanting Julius
his friend (and himself) getting possessed and wreaking havoc he ask to be
killed by Felix . Felix in turn ruin Subaru Gate causing his blood to boil
(see episode 5 death) and Julius tearfully end his life for that loop.
