I realy liked this ep, but i dont know why, in the mangá it was more deeper and emocional, not the ep wasnt good, i Just think i was expectin something better (sorry for any writting error, i am from Brazil, love you guys)
it is really sad, the anime doesnt explain it but rudy downplayed and make everything that happened to him sound like it was nothing so his dad didnt worry. it didnt go well i hope they explain why the warrior women dress like that
For clarification about the eye (this is skipped content): Kishirika didn't see Rudy's mental form (his old self), she used a eye that sees the flow of mana and was disgusted because of his large mana pool, saying that it's even bigger than the demon god Laplaces Edit: More clarifications: Geese told us last episode about a legend how the man who founded Milis, Saint Milis, made the road they are walking on with a single swing of his sword. That's why the path looks cleaved. Also, after Rudy got off at Zant port he had to immediately go and rescue Ruijerd, and after that he got captured by the beast people, he didn't have the time to go to the adventurers guild, just bad timing all around. Another thing to think about is the radius of the teleportation itself, Rudy never asumed that Buena village was caugh in the explosion because of how far away they were. Rudy traveled with a carriage from Buena to Roa within 6-7 hours, knowing that a 2horse carriage goes 3-4 miles per hour thats around 24-28miles (38-45 kilometars). That would mean that the explosion went 28+miles in range which is more than 7x the size of a nuke. And Rudy was quite LITEARLLY infront of the explosion when it happened, so he never assumed it would go that far.
Yeah, in the manga only a few chapters ago was this mana pool thing clarified. I guess I never realized that rudeus just uses magic left and right with no limit
I do feel Rudy was at fault for not sending a letter to either Eris's family, his family, or to Roxy in 1.5 years. That's a long time to not let either group know what happened to you guys and even Eris is at fault for apparently not thinking of trying to reach her family. Unless Rudy was still abiding by Paul's unreasonable rule of not making contact with the family, lol. The beginning of this episode had him acknowledge not remembering to send a letter in that span of time and only thought of doing it in this continent? Maybe communication was hard to use in the Demon Continent but as an anime-only, it didn't seem like that was a problem and was simply a case of Rudy just not trying to communicate with his or Eris's family, for some reason. Also, he knows that Ghislaine was also transported but in the anime, they didn't try to look for her. Another issue is that Rudy not only meets his dad and even if he assumed that his mom and the others were fine with Paul, why didn't he ask of their well-being before and after his disagreement with Paul? He was even gonna leave this city out of depression without ever asking how his other family members were doing. Besides these issues that Rudy should have thought about, I don't think Rudy was at fault in any way.
@@ericfelipe4198 In the novels this was said before Rudy got his eye. The manga definently has it's moments, like the fight with Paul was better in the manga, but the fact that it skips/changes worldbuilding, characterization, dialouge, arcs makes the manga adaptation pretty meh for the most part.
i agree with you. Rudeus isn't at fault for not thinking about his family especially with all the things he had to do currently. And if it was anyone in his position they wouldn't be thinking the the teleportation would take away everyone he probably thought only him eris and ghislaine got teleported. i hope they conclusion next episode and stop blaming each other.
@@ericfelipe4198 it's briefly hinted at in the anime, but Rudeus cast Healing on Eris almost nonstop on the boat ride to help her sea sickness without running out of mana.
Think back to episode 11. Paul’s letter said “write to the adventurer guild in Millishion”. That’s where he has been this past year. Also, he normally would have gone to the adventurer guild in the port, but the whole kidnapping incident happened, so he wasn’t able to go to the guild to see it. He usually would have seen the message, especially since he’s an adventurer
@@lilkhmer5 Paul left his message specifically in Port Zant. Rudy never saw the message because he was taken prisoner by the beast people, and Rujierd and Eris were running from the authorities in the port so they didn't see it in the guild either.
The thing about Paul is that he felt like Rudy would have cared just as much about his family than even he did. He knew that Rudy was a prodigy and basically expected more out of him. It doesn’t excuse his behavior, but Paul has been through a lot, and Rudy is the first person he would have expected to know about what happened since he was at the center of it the day the disaster occurred, and he ended up taking his dissatisfaction out on Rudy. Both parties arguments are justified, albeit through a lot of miscommunication.
The problem is, he doesn’t know what Rudy been through. According to the book and from the previous episodes, Rudy was transported to the Demon continent, which was much worse than his father’s location he was transported. Rudy would have become chips (or Pizza bites) for monsters that were more stronger than him. Let’s just teleport Rudy’s father into the demon continent and see what Rudy’s been through.
It's more justified on Rudy's part since not only is he like a literal 10 year old looking kid, hes been teleported to one of the worst continent in this world's isekai. This is also his first time venturing outside of his home, which he feared before, and being able to stay alive was impressive for an inexperienced kid like Rudy. Spent a lot of time saving people who wouldve their lives taken by kidnappers, and is trying to make sure to send Eris back home safely. By this time though, Lilia and her daughter has been enslaved and Zenith is... well, her fate is very grim. Although his dad doesnt know of it yet. But is this Rudy's fault? His dad here actually put the entire blame on Rudy when Rudy literally was trying really hard to make money to survive as an adventurer.
I can't agree with that. Paul should know Rudy well enough to know that even though he's very smart, sometimes he can also be pretty blind to some things. He's also inexperienced, so expecting him to be able to look out for himself and get home safely all while also doing everything Paul wanted him to be doing, after he was literally teleported across the world to a completely alien environment, is more than Paul has any right to expect. Paul being drunk there shows he's probably spent a good amount of his time in that state lately, so to go off on Rudy while that's what he's been spending his time doing shows his hypocrisy. It also shows that he can't face up to the fact that he hasn't been able to find his family so he's avoiding having to deal with that with booze. So what does he do as soon as Rudy shows up? He takes all that self loathing and turns it on Rudy, instead of just being glad that he's alive. He also went way over the line to accuse Rudy of not writing just to keep Eris to himself. Let's face it, the only reason he would think that is because its something he might have done when he was younger. Rudy crossed a line too, but only after Paul escalated things. As far as anyone knows, Paul is the adult and Rudy is just a kid, but Paul was the one acting like a kid and putting adult expectations on Rudy. And please do not respond with any information from the source material.
Pretty much. The earliest Rudy would have been able to see the message was in Wind Port after Roxy and her party made it there. But Rudy was bedridden due to getting his demon eye and right afterwards they found the smuggler to Zant Port. In Zant port where there was already a posting Rudy went to find a hotel then he immediately went to collect Ruijerd which led to the whole beast tribe segment. Which also took place during the rainy season so they would be waylaid in the forest for 3 months. Paul likely assumes that Rudy either arrived on the millis continent after the rainy season ended and immediately went through the firest or stayed in Zant port until it ended so in his eyes Rudeus should have seen the message. By the time Rudy reaches Millishon it has been more than half a year since they arrived on the continent. Messages were already making their way through the demon continent at this point.
Well, the thing is, he could have easily found out about it even on the Demon Continent. There have been tons of people who also ended there. The info was there. He only needed to try and find out more about the incident and he would have heard all about it.
@@sojtus8681 Do u know how long it took to travel, or more specifically, how long it took for letters/news to travel? A letter accross the continent usually took around 1-2 years depending on unexpected logistic problems. When Rudeus was in the Demon continent, no one, no one knew of the mana disaster. Roxy took off almost immediately for the demon continent and only arrived when Rudeus was abt to leave, aka around 1 year of traveling. Which meant that the notice/news of the disaster only arrived at most a few months before that event. Not to mention other than the cross continent ports, no guilds in the demon continent would rlly bother with this kind of notice, thats why Roxy went there personally, to look for Rudeus family and post the notices.
@@quangtuantran7181 well yeah, he might not have found specific letter. However Rudy and Eris were not the only people transported to the demon continent. Others were as well. And those people went to various guilds across demon kontinent and posted notices for help. Roxy even run into other survivors on her way to find Rudy. So while he might not have found news specifically about his family, he at the very least would have found out the masive scale of the incident. And from that he would have known that the aoe would have hit his home as well.
I knew this would happened... I know how people think... *Sigh*.... Welp, TO WAR!!! DEFEND BOTH RUDEUS AND PAUL AGAINST CLOSED MINDED INDIVIDUALS!!!! XD
i mean, from rudi's perspective the mana disaster literally started where he was in the field with eris, and expanded outwards after it already swallowed rudi, how the hell was he supposed to imagine that this spell would go forward to expand into swallowing an entire nearby region, nobody talks about this, from rudi's perspective the teleportation was a small thing that happened in front of him, not this giant disaster that swallowed a entire region.
Paul was just seeking to blame anyone he could for a traumatic event, a typical PTSD symptom. Plus he's been secretly jealous of his own son for being an absolute prodigy, and this sentiment further amplifies his unreasonably high expectation in the wake of this trauma. He's never been a great person to begin with, so him being an asshole when loaded with psychological issues is hardly surprising.
Easily an S tier EP. You gotta understand from Paul’s perspective, Rudy is somewhat of a prodigy. Since Rudy was able to talk to Paul out of his anger and without any emotional attachment, Paul figured Rudy would’ve thought of trying to find out what happened to his family after the teleportation. Just miscommunication all around.
punching his son in the face then screaming at him about his mom disappearing (which he had no control of) was a BIT of a over reaction though so clearly on that part i'm not gonna care about his perspective
Not even a genius or an adult(Rudy) can do everything like Paul thought. His expectations were super unrealistic. I think most people were going to do the same thing like Rudy did because it's just the best for survival and Ruijerd is both a blessing and a curse for him. Paul was tired and drunk but yes it was miscommunication.
Pissed me off too but Rudy assumed his whole family was ok when he saw paul and norn so he asked about sylphy. And he couldnt have even seen the letter because he was abducted by beastmen before he could go to the place where the letter was
I can understand both perspectives because we actually heard the letter around the end of 1st cour and paul wasnt worried about his son at that point so paul focusing on his wife and assuming rudy would be fine is basically the same because rudy didnt know that the blast affected buena village and assumed they were ok
@@Echo-qk7vc Yeah, and if we are like Paul here, we can twist as, he doesn't care about his son, wtf ? He's more concerned with his S tier adventurer adult, very experienced wife, but not his inexperienced young son ? When it was completely warranted, Rudy could have died many times, hell, if not for Ruijerd, most likely would have by now. Even Roxy's part with the other S ranks from the old party, weren't that concerned with Zenith and even Rudy, more so decided to look for Lilia and Aisha as more vulnerable. And despite Roxy's party and Paul's group looking for clues, for an year and a half, they have found nothing. Yet Rudeus should have done something himself, while barely taking care of himself and his party. But he wasn't even that happy to see him alive and safe. Even as Rudy was trying to save a kidnap victim (in his eyes, and technically it is, as pretty sure slavery is legal in most places there) Paul twisted that as well into goofing around playing hero. It was his mode of operation during the whole thing. Rudy couldn't do anything right.
To clarify some things Rudeus and company was the only ones "to THEIR knowledge" that got clapped by the spell. So it would make sense if it so happen to slip their mind especially when they got clapped into unknown rough desert terrain and became focused on getting their bearings and getting home.
As an anime only watcher it seemed logical that he wouldn't think of anyone else since he was where the disaster seemingly started. How was he supposed to know how big it was. Did it elaborate on that more in the light novel?
None of the guilds on the demon continent had Paul's note or any info about the mana disaster. Rudy did go into basically every guild he came across. The only Guild that had Paul's note was the one in Zant Port on the Mills Continent, but as soon as Rudy got there he went to pick up Ruijerd from the smugglers and got kidnapped.
@@richardthekingransom i agree but it fits with Eris's character. Both her and Paul see Rudy as a know it all/exceptional person to a fault. Eris literally thought "Rudy knows what he is doing and what to do, i just need to follow him and it will all work out. I dont need to bother him with this" She has shown this before where she yells/kicks at Rujerd to just "shut up and follow Rudy" on multiple occasions.
@@richardthekingransom She assumed he already knew about it and didn't say anything to protect her from the possibility of her family being dead. Rudeus usually always checks out the boards and doesn't always share the "why" when he comes up with his game plans (he hides hitogami's existence from them) so something like that would be well in line with what he normally does.
@@punkmusic1088 And don't forget she's kind of dumb (I expect we'll see that in extra detail in the season finale, conjecture based on Manga spoilers) and I would not put it past her to just forget about it what with the kidnapping and all that.
Paul is overestimating Rudeus. Since he was a very smart kid, Paul thought that he would organize the situation, just like what Paul did. Thing is, Rudeus didn’t have any information about the teleportation, nor can he find it in the adventurers guild because they were threatened to be banned from the adventurers guild.
Just so you know I am aware that Paul does not know he reincarnated He did’t overestimate him Rudy has the mind of a 34 year old over Paul’s age as it stated Paul was 19 at the start of series the so Paul should be 30 or 31 at this point. He him self views Rudy as above him self the became a water saint at just 5 which is incredible and knows chantless magic what Paul did was bad but he had 1 year and a half to think about what happened
@@richardthekingransom I am know Paul does not know he reincarnated but for him he gave birth to a child which taught itself to talk. The thing is he does NOT KNOW he is reincarnated
A lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication in this episode where both parties are not in the wrong. First off, Rudeus, Ghislaine and Eris were at the epicenter of the transportation so Rudy had no reference on the scale of the spell. Then we have one of several of Rudy's character flaws, he retold his journey to his father as some grand adventure and omitted a lot of the stuff that'd make Rudy look bad. Then when faced with negative reception he switched to his cynical rebuttal mode and on top of that he doesn't read the room - we even get flashbacks to when he gets bullied, something we haven't seen since Roxy. Rudy also never got a chance to visit any guilds after leaving the demon continent since he was kidnapped by the beast people. On the other hand we have Paul who sees Rudy as an adult with rational thinking and can take care of himself, but omits the fact that he's still just a child. Paul being flawed, both in nature and having lost his wife, maid and child, unconsciously idolizes Rudy and puts hopes that Rudy would have found one of them. Really shitty situation that stems from Paul's and Rudy's natural chemistry of not being able to communicate and understand another's perspective - it's even symbolic when Paul wants Rudy to learn the sword but Rudy is a mage.
Paul put unrealistic expectations because of his own failures as a father and adult, onto Rudy. Paul gives the nonsensical "don't talk to your parents" that way attitude when he guilts Rudeus, saying "why didn't you look for your parents/family or write to us as soon as you could?" It's faster for Rudy to physical get back to them, not tlike his parents could meet him halfway, he's resourceful enough to try to get back on his own and a waste of time and resources for the family to meet him halfway.
I think reason rudy didn't think of none of that because he and eris was was the first people to be teleported so they didn't know the full extent of the blast so in his mind everyone is and was safe so he's main and only concern was to return eris to her parents, and also u gotta remember Paul told rudy to not write or contact them and focus solely on his job and make money to make it easier on him while he's away
ur last point is null, thats not why rudy didnt write at all. As a matter of fact he was about to write in this episode. Also to add on, Rudy never had time to go to the adventurers guild because he had to pick up Ruijerd and then he got kidnapped by beast ppl and got stuck there for months.
I mean I'm pretty sure the whole don't write or contact thing is pretty null when in your mind everyone you know probably thinks you've disappeared into who knows where.
Even if he was thinking about getting Eris to her parents he could’ve thought about their fate given worse case with the scale of the event it could’ve affected at least the city he was in and therefore her parents.
They're both wrong, but im with rudy. Paul is overestimating rudy, yes he's a prodigy but at the same time he's also naive and a kid, he is reincarnated so he should know what to do/think but he was a shut-in and zero social experience. He never experienced this kind of situation in life and didn't think of other possiblities but Paul went out of line on his scolding
and because he is reincarnated it close his mind with all the games he's been playing i think he thought everything would be fine if he just follow the questline
@@uchihareizu5729 from my perspective. The first thing is Rudy never knew the Disaster, he feel responsible for Eris Safety and he also need to help Ruijerd then they got the money issues. To me Rudy really got throwed bunch of Problem and his hand are full. Even tho he is 40y.o he still a NEET and his knowledge about this world is just as his Age in this world
i think rudy is too optimistic because he got to a place where help already there (ruijerd and the man god). so because of that, and also he is too close to the "explosion", everything else slip his mind. in paul point of view, he didn't know any of that so he only do what he think is necessary, to search for the people. also, remember when paul scold rudy for the first time, rudy speaks for himself like an adult and act like an adult so paul thinks rudy is mature enough to act on his own. of course he will be pissed after knowing rudy is f-ing around and having a good time while his own family and neighbour and everyone is missing.
I'll just say this - Rudeus was in a whole other city, far from his family, hadn't seen them in years. Why would he think everyone even in his hometown would have been teleported away from an event that happened where he was? I think it's perfectly reasonable that he never thought of them.
that doesnt sound reasonable in any way shape or form... maybe in a couple of days after the teleportation its fine but a whole year and a half. the reason is that rudy doesnt see them yet as their family
@@friskscipio Rudy def sees them as family, we already seen from the first four that he cares dearly for his family’s family doesn’t want it to end up like it did his his past life
@@docdirtymrclean3610 Someone else who reacted to this episode mentioned that Paul instinctively holds Rudy to a higher standard than normal kids because of how smart he was at birth and he actually had to check himself that night in part one. However, in Paul's defense as well, Rudy is a grown ass man in kid body, it's just hard to know how much that fact actually impacts his brain and ability to interact with others
Honestly they skipped a lot both from manga and LN. The most important part that was skipped in my opinion is before Rudeus left adventure guild, he looked at Paul in such way that even Paul felt guilty for what he just did
They skip a lot that's not relevant to the plot and they are going to do that in a lot of upcoming episodes. Light novel have a lot of stuffs that can be considered a filler and is irrelevant to the plot especially during part where everything is all fluff and good fun leading to a bigger arc . So expect a lot of stuff to be cut off because if they include everything word by word or detail by detail production is gonna cost more. Studio Bind is still fairly new after all
One thing to note was that Rudy was at the center of the blast and so he had no way of knowing how big the radius was. For all he knew, he thought it was just him, Eris and Ghislaine.
@@Dantyx1 Oh yeah: foreign land, no contact, and probably the only humans deep in the Demon continent. It's understandable that his priority was to get Eris home and help out Ruijerd.
I think the big problem is Paul knows how incredible Rudeus. From a young age Rudy has shown he is extremely intelligent and emotionally intelligent. He even manipulated situations clearly to patch their family together (something Paul was the only one to know of). Rudy also is an unbelievably powerful mage as well as an ok swordsman. Paul probably wasn't that worried about Rudy because he had so much confidence in him. He also probably built this up in his mind through his trauma, that Rudy being so intelligent would be helping on his side too. I think the big thing is Rudy being a showman described his journey as very carefree, and all Paul's hopes of his prodigy son pulling off miraculous stuff was dashed. Now Paul is in the wrong more so, specially since he hit Rudy. Rudy had no way of knowing initially that others were effected besides the three of them... But over the year and a half you would think he would of asked around, atleast about Ghislaine for Eris's sake. I think that Rudy did definitely lose himself in the adventure a bit and formed a new family.
I seem to remember them keeping an eye out for Ghislaine on the Demon Continent at first, but when there was no sign of her they just kept going. It's not like Rudy could dedicate all of his time to searching for her when he had Eris to look after and no idea if Ghislaine was even teleported onto the same continent as them. It sucks, but it was probably their best move to just keep an eye out and keep trying to get home.
@@rohanmanuel1815 For sure, but Paul as a dad shouldn't of lost his crap on his son who.. Maybe is a teenager now? But we can see he is barely holding it together.
@@SpartanSniper3 For sure, but we need to remember it has been a year in a half since they originally were teleported. Some of that spent solely in towns and parts of it they were actively doing jobs so interacting with some people. Again, I think Paul is way more in the wrong. But Rudy should of still atleast questioned it given how inquisitive he is. Also I am actually not even sure who is mentally older him or Paul.
@@rekzors it's a massive miscommunication on both parts. Rudy was probably only telling him the fun parts about his adventures since he was enjoying most of them. Paul brought up the rudeus being happy with Eris which although technically correct caused Rudy to lash back saying that Paul was banging the other ladies which pissed Paul off. Also Paul is kinda drunk at this point so there is that aspect as well. Basically they went into a fist fight before conveying the whole story which is actually a realistic aspect of this. Ideally they would talk about the whole thing reconcile and so on but these moments of misunderstanding gives the world a realistic aspect.
The reason rudy actually didnt thought of how was his family been doing was because he was so busy keeping him and eris alive The demon continent monsters are so strong that it can even kill paul a water god swordsman Paul really has high hopes from a 11 year old kid
Ikr. I mean how can you think about others when you get teleported to an unknown strange place full of monsters that can kill you any time? All you can think about is your safety and can go home safely.
Dude Ruijerd is playing as bodyguard.... why are people acting like he was always in danger 24/7. Didn't you see the downtimes he has in Roxy's village, the port town where he met Kishirika? He stayed there for more than a week. And it's been 1.5 years. not just a week.
@@Kaimax61 Ikr? Rudeus has a lot of downtime... His way of telling the story to paul convey that fact, that's why he us piss at rudy as to why he is so carefree... Not seeing the signs, the letter, the news all this years... Rudeus reasoning is trash because both didn't understand anything... Both thrown insult at each other that's why the bar fight started smh XD
Oh oh oh surely he hasn't got the time. Yeah being a pedo around eris and little kids is definitely prioritized. Oh not to mention he misses roxy but not once for hims family. Well family comes last am I right?
Half the comments saying Paul is still in the right or hes respectable, yall borderline bout to spoil the story and you know it, even though Rudy is a prodigy and he put expectations on his kid, that is still too much to ask for. Not just that, even if Paul was doing the right thing, hitting your own son and disrespecting him is no way to go for a dad. Overall, Rudy deserves an apology for being put on the spot almost like he was casted out.
In Paul defense... He is a young father at age 24, run away from home at age 12... Didn't have the chance to raise rudeus the normal way because his son is too abnormal... The relationship of the 2 is not of a parent and child but more of a friend/homie/roommate type XD
ikr people think prodigy is same as experience... Rudy would 100% died even if he is a prodigy, he only survived because there was someone who was experienced there
Can you imagine what Paul must be feeling by now? If I recall correctly they said it's been 1.5 years since the mana disaster, and he hasn't found his wife, Lilia, and Aisha yet. He has no idea if they've been enslaved, being tortured, raped, or killed by now. That shit is hard man. Especially since he's no doubt heard of what happened to those who've been enslaved or encountered other unfortunate incidents, hearing those things would just make him imagine the worse for his family. There was one time when my girlfriend hasn't come home even though it was very late and she's not answering my texts or calls, and when she finally answered the call, another man with rough voice answered and asked "who are you?" and when I said "who are YOU"? He hung up and turned off the phone. Turns out that my gf, along with other passengers of the bus she was riding in got held up and the robbers took their phones. So many thoughts raced through my mind that time and it was only one night. Imagine that kind of same thing happened to Paul but its 10x worse and its been 1.5 years. My knowledge is anime-only so please no LN-only hints or spoilers, but I really pray Zenith, Lilia, and Aisha, are okay.
Crazy how paul waited until he was about to leave to thoroughly explain the situation more like why not start off with that? I honestly still side with rudy, even tho paul had a lot of solid points of his own, but his expectations was his downfall not to mention him not trying to acknowledge what hardships rudy had to face to get where he was though I guess rudy might have left out that stuff while explaining what he’s been doing. There’s no way he’d know the full scale of the teleportation and I’d also assume that the whole family was safe if I saw paul and norn together. In my opinion paul was tryna gaslight the fuck out of rudy fr fr.
i mean, if you look at how proper norn look and how bad paul look you wouldnt think paul would be alone with norn you would think norn had someone taking care for her
@@Peaceout599 I wouldn’t think that at all simply because if we were in rudy’s shoes in that exact situation we’d be too shocked that norn even showed up like she did instead of thinking about the difference in how proper they each look. From her showing up like that one would assume the rest of the family is also in the same city leading you to ask about sylphie. Obviously what you’re saying is more of a logical analyzation, but rudy’s logic in this episode was just not quite there unfortunately.
"not to mention him not trying to acknowledge what hardships rudy had to face to get where he was though I guess rudy might have left out that stuff while explaining what he’s been doing." Yeah, You just answered on why Paul never actually gave that acknowledgement. Rudy embellishes a bit too much that it doesn't sound that it was a struggle. Like he said, "He doesn't want Paul to get worried", but to Paul who's been stressing so much for the search effort, that wasn't the right way of telling what happened.
@@Kaimax61 I said that cause I assumed he might’ve actually said something different or made it sound different in the manga since I haven’t read it but if he basically said the same thing as the shows then yea I basically answered it. Either way I still think pauls points where valid, but I still don’t agree with him trying to gaslight rudy the way he did in that ep.
The real reason Rudy never though about what happened to the others is sadly simple: he is still very self-centered. He does care about them, but his mentality is still "If it's not happening it front of me, it's not really my problem". He knows it's fucked up and is trying to change.
@@johnchristiancalucer4537 1) the explosion literally came from the central of city. 2) that Human-god thing already tells him how massive this event happen. 3) even if he doesn't know what happen to his family, there's an entire city of people that could teleported to random places (some of it might be Eris family and some could teleported to demon continent too). Is he bothered tho?
Seeing all this Paul slander is unfortunate, they’re both justified in their arguments but whatever. Next episode will be Paul’s pov and hopefully the anime will properly it. He’s one of the best characters
I with Rudy, Paul was being a jerk and his comment that Rudy cared more about his girlfriend then his own mom Paul is literally in the same boat. Paul is more concerned with his wife and mistress and daughter then his own son, heck he said as much when he posted that note at the adventures board
Paul has every right yo be concerned for his 2 wives, along side his other MISSING daughter. Paul eas "being a jerk" because while Rudy was goofing off being a adventurer, he did not take into consideration that his family too may have been effected by the situation and did not once try to contact Anyone from home. Sure, Paul wasn't right to not validate Rudeus's hardships, yet he could've been able to be looking for survivors of the event, yet he just "forgot" and went on a fun little journey with his "girlfriend and bodyguard"
I really dont like Paul, but i'm kinda with him here... Even tho, well, i also think he should be at least a bit relieved to find his missing son too...
well, we'll see in a bit, but Paul has kind of developed these unrealistic expectations for Rudeus, because he always was a prodigy, and at some point forgot that he still a child (manchild), that has flaws and weaknesses. They foreshadow this a bunch in the beginning with Paul talking a lot about not really feeling like a father, and in his note you can see his complete confidence in Rudeus' ability to handle himself. Also Paul has been mentally exhausted and depressed as he has been tirelessly searching for his family for a year and a half, and hasn't found any of them (Norn teleported with him).
@@AshRain-nu3vz but the thing is he didn't know that the teleportation hit his village, where Rudy and Eris were when it hit is pretty far away from his village. Also he might be concerned for this rest of his family but he was drunk. It's one thing for Paul to act this way if he was sober and moving town to town but he's drunk and a leader of some adventures. Look losing his family would have been super tough on Paul to the point where it broke him and he has to be drunk all the time I'm not faulting him for that but he found one of his daughters and he found his son why wasn't the first words out of his mouth "I'm so glad that you are okay have you seen your mother" but it wasn't
I went to rewatch your guys S1 Ep. 8, "Turning Point 1" reaction and the episode and A LOT happened. More than I realized at first. A lot of stuff has been given context and of course more context to come in the future. NOTE: I DO NOT read any source material. This is all speculation. This show is S-Tier and is fun to decipher. I’m sorry if this feels disorganized or if some of the things mentioned have already been found out. Let me know what you guys think or if you have anything to add. If you already know any future events please write "spoilers" before commenting. Thank you for reading and I love this community! Peace! (After Rudy’s party) 1. Rudy’s family is gathered in their home. Lilia, the family’s maid and mother of Aisha, was going to give something in a box to Rudy for his tenth birthday. She mentioned, "It’s something that Master Rudeus treasured dearly." The show may play it off as joke and reveal it’s Roxy’s panties that he stole or something, but I hope it’s something more than that. 2. After that Zenith tells Norn that Superd are the scariest demons in the world. And Norn being along Paul’s side this whole time may meet Ruijerd. 3. We then cut to Roxy’s scene in the place she’s at (I forgot which episode mentions the place she’s in, sorry) and she immediately jumps to the conclusion that the dark clouds in the Asura Kingdom, caused by the mana, may be a result of Rudy. I wonder why she thought like that? 4. Continuing, we’re introduced to person who looks half-dragon. He said "Mana is gathering. What’s gone wrong, and where." I feel like this implies something like the mana disaster happened before. Then he said, "Oh well, I’ll find out when I get there." I think we’ll meet him soon. 5. Then we meet Kishirika Kishirisu, the Great Emperor of the Demon World, right after. She states, "Oh, that’s an absurd amount of mana. Whose spell is this? What? We can’t see them." (In this scene, she is seen using one of her demon eyes she revealed in Ep. 12.) "They must be shy. What a nuisance. In that case, We’ll go meet them face to face! We are the Great Emperor of the Demon World, Kishirika Kishirisu! Follow Us, Our people!" First off, she speaks as though she’s not alone even though she physically is alone in that scene in the desert, which is very disturbing. She may be talking to someone. Then we meet her again in episode 12 and with one her multiple eyes, the green one, she scans Rudy and gives a disgusted look like she found out what he really looks like from his previous life, which doesn’t feel likely. Or she found out the amount of mana he has. This is validated because she used one of her demon eyes to see the coming mana disaster in Ep. 8. This also validates the theory that Rudy may have indirectly caused the mana disaster. Though she used different eyes in both scenes so I’m most likely wrong on that. - Also Roshi, it’s funny you pointed out that she looks hungry in her scene in Ep. 8 because she was indeed hungry when we met her again in Ep. 12. 6. Furthermore, Lord Perugius is watching the mana in the sky from his levitating Castle and says, "This light resembles the light of summoning." Is the "summoning" something that has to do with Rudy coming to the new world? Then he says, "Could someone be seeking to undo the seal on the Demon-God Laplace?" Laplace was mentioned a couple of times in the first half of this season but I forgot what they said about him. BUT he was called "Demon-God" as opposed to Man-God who has been helping Rudy in his new life. 7. Afterwards, he calls upon Almanfi the Radiant and tells him, "Investigate the source of that mana. Slay any suspicious persons on sight." I’ll get back to this! 8. We then cut to Rudy, Eris, and Ghislaine. Rudy is about to show his most powerful spell but they’re interrupted by the mana forming dark clouds in the sky. This is where it gets interesting! Ghislaine removes the eye patch over her right eye and scans the mana clouds with a green demon eye. - The same eye Kishirika Kishirisu uses to scan Rudy in Ep. 12, "The Woman with the Demon Eyes". This confirms that Kishirika was looking at Rudy’s mana capacity. She stated in Ep. 8, "Oh, that’s an absurd amount of mana. Whose spell is this? What? We can’t see them…" "They must be shy. What a nuisance. In that case, We’ll go meet them face to face!" Again and again it’s being hinted at that Rudy may have caused the mana disaster. Then Almanfi the Radiant tries to surprise attack Rudy. Not Eris or Ghislaine. He immediately deduced that Rudy was the source of the mana cloud. He stated, "By order of Lord Perugius, I have come to slay the source of this disturbance…" "If I slay that boy, the disturbance may cease." Both Roxy and Almanfi believe that Rudy is the source of the mana clouds. Of course Ghislaine defends both Rudy and Eris but she states, "I swear it by my teacher, the Sword God Gal Farion, and the honor of Doldia!" In Ep. 15, Slow Life in the Doldia Village, Ghislaine’s older brother tells the story of how they separated to his daughter Tona. He stated, "I was relieved when a wandering swordsman took her away from the village." I predict this wandering swordsman is the Sword God Gal Farion. 9. Lastly, Almanfi leaves because of the incoming explosion of the mana cloud that teleports everyone away from Rudy’s village. - I also predict that either Lord Perugius or Almanfi the Radiant who works for him are one of The Seven Great Powers or the seven best fighters in the world, which was mentioned at the end of Ep. 15, when the group is heading to Milis. * I want to know why Man-God is giving Rudy all this advice and making him do all these things. I guess he really is trying to help. * Also Ep. 8 is called "Turning Point 1" so we may get a Turing Point 2" in the future which already hurts my brain.
There are 5 Turning Points throughout all of Mushoku Tensei, and as a source reader, I love the speculations and predictions you have! Its quite interesting what others have to say about the show so far as we are just in the beginning.
What I'd like to point out after watching this episode is that Rudeus (anime only fan btw, don't know squat about the manga, want to keep it that way) shows that due to him remembering his past life, he can't seem to cement the fact that these people are his blood. His *family*. Like he never calls Paul "Dad" or "Father" when referring to him internally. I think he does the same to his mother. So given that contextual clue, I think it's safe to assume that Rudy just flat out doesn't regard these people as his family. So of course he's going to think about his girlfriend before people he has no real emotional ties to. He's not invested in them like he is with Sylvie and it shows. I'm wondering and hoping that this event is going to change that about him because it was genuinely starting to irritate me about his character.
I think Rudy had no reason to even question how many people were caught in the mana disaster, he was exactly at the center of it (and they were far off civilization), for all he knows it wasn't but a tiny zone.
Also sylvie was his first best friend and really until this past year one of the few friends he has ever had so I’d say it’s impressive he thought of her at all and shows how much he cares about her
Tbf, it's been a year and a half since all of that happened. Paul has all the reasons to be worried about Zenith, after all, she was an S ranked adventurer and is very experienced, yet she still hasn't been found or made contact with any of the search teams, but yeah, this might also be attributed to the location where she was teleported. Zenith is either taking her sweet time (which I doubt), or she's really far into unknown territory and is in deep trouble.
What about this other sister who can't defend herself? Or the maid who has an injury and can't fight anymore? And even if she is an ex adventure. Even if you know someone can handle themselves you'd still worry because you never know what might happen, and you love them. Paul married her and knows she can handle herself and is still worried.
Hard to blame Rudy when he's a Neet in child form. The usual reaction to seeing his dad and sis safe here, Rudy would think his mom safe, so that's why Rudy asked about Sylvie
Rudy has always been smart and level-headed and he just assumed his mom is safe even though his dad's face looked like he got hit by Pitou's aura while in zetsu mode? No, there's no excuse for Rudy asking for Sylphie first rather than his mom. Rudy is my boy but Sheera is right, he sucked at reading the room. We may also have to accept the fact that Rudy hasn't really been that caring for his parents, he didn't even go to the funeral of his real parents, and he always called his Isekai dad, Paul, and his Isekai mom, Zenith, in his head.
No I think Rudy just doesn't really care about his mom or dad mainly for the fact that he sees them as strangers. He also didn't ask about his other sister even though she wouldn't be able to protect herself at all. I'm pretty sure Rudy thinking about Sylvie first just shows his priorities and that Paul was slight in the right but at the same time so was Rudy for other aspects.
@@astorlefflinker8417 thank you someone with sense. I cannot believe the amount of people defend rudy. Because if rudy actually cared for his family the slightest, the outcomr would have been very different. He does have the time to jerk off at little kids tho.
@@edwardso8903 Though I wouldn’t go as far to say that he doesn’t care about his family but he’s definitely a bit self centered to not think about them, though some people may use the argument that he had alot on his plate and that he didn’t knew the radius of the blast but an entire year and a half without a thought, I wish for his character development but I can’t take either side in this debacle.
Paul seriously wins worst dad of the year award every single time he comes on screen. Like yes Rudy in his eyes is a genius who is far smarter then anyone his age, far stronger then anyone his age but that isn't an excuse for just accusing your own child for not doing something that you're only managing to do with a fully equipped group. Rudy's been travelling as a CHILD in a place he knew jack shit about, keeping the only person he knew safe and Paul's reaction is "why haven't you been doing what I've been doing?". I assumed after their first fight Paul would've learned his lesson on not jumping to assumptions but apparently he's just as much of a idiot as Rudy is in a lot of cases. On top of everything Rudy was right there as the incident started, he was literally person n2 caught up in the whole thing, how would he have ever guessed that the damn thing reached all the way to his own village. Not to even mention because of his trauma from his past life he barely even knows most of the villagers. Paul is the definition of an unreasonable father, I'm not saying he hasn't had a hard time but there's a limit to how much aggression you can take out on your own child. Everyone judging Rudy is no better, they've probably just been spoon fed stories of Rudy being a genius by Paul and been hoping that a there's been someone else randomly doing something despite there being a good chance of him knowing nothing. I'm not saying this was a bad episode, if anything is was a fantastic episode for how much it made me hate Paul but the rant about how successfully the show portrays a horrible father had to happen. In short damn is both Paul and Rudy absolutely terrible at communication, but Paul's failure to have been an actual father to Rudy again makes me want to punch him. I do really love how "real" this anime is in terms of character portrayal, makes them feel a lot more understandable in comparison to a lot of other characters.
Paul said he wasn't blaming rudy for not thinking of and doing everything but the fact that his family did not even occur in his mind throughout the journey. that said they were the first ones that got teleported so it's understandable that it slipped his mind.
Your hatred of Paul is unreasonable. Cut him some slack things have not been good for him, just look at him. He has a lot on his plate he is being a father to Norn and the leader of the rescue squad. His high expectations of Rudy are unreasonable but the reason why he was really banking on Rudy to help search for their family is because he hasn’t made any progress despite trying his hardest. He wants his family to be together again and the stress that it is causing him is very evident with his appearance and his drinking. This episode does not highlight how he is a terrible father but how his desperations end up hurting those that he cares for.
Not justified. Look at how haggard Paul is. He’s been busting ass saving people trying to find his family and I’m pretty sure used the rest of his money too
@@mjtechnoviking44 Paul is haggard, yes. But this isn't the first time that him and Rudeus have gotten into an argument directly stemming from Rudeus being different than his view of him. Before it was because he saw Rudeus as far more childish than he was, and here it's because he's severely overestimating Rudeus. He even acknowledged this being a big cause of the argument last time, and promised to be better than that. He's fully aware of how Rudeus glossed over mistakes and bigs himself up in stories, yet uses this as the basis to claim he doesn't care for his family. A family Paul directly told him to make a lower priority in his mind when he was 7, to the point that Paul told him not to even write letters home, and wonders why now, literal years later, that it didn't occur to Rudeus. Rudeus should never have started with his stories, but Paul as his father and given the context of how he's fucked up previously should be well aware of what happens when he jumps to conclusions. And it's only at the end of the entire argument he even gives Rudeus the proper information of the situation, something Rudeus had no clue about because he spent a year in the demon continent completely cut off from humans and when he did get to a human town, he was immediately imprisoned and spent an entire season away. Paul has been busting his ass and it's clearly taken its toll on the guy, but that doesn't stop him being a generally pretty bad father to Rudeus. It's no surprise that Rudeus is able to pretty quickly tell that Paul probably slept around a lot with the women in his current group, because the guy hasn't really changed his behaviour and attitudes. He's just essentially spent years doubling down on the worst aspects of himself (and to be fair, this isn't ragging on Paul overall, in the general sense he's a pretty decent guy and he saved tons of people after the explosion, but in relation to his family I think he's shit) to get by and I think it's fair Rudeus calls that out too. Rudeus is guilty of fucking up a lot of the initial conversation, but none of that warranted the misplaced hopes and responses Paul had towards him.
"Paul seriously wins worst dad of the year award" say this to Norn. Paul created the search party and is trying his best to find every person from the village while taking care of a child. To her he is the best dad in the world.
I just love any episode that makes me shocked and thinking "why didn't I think of that?" Like, it's been a while between episodes for me so I didn't 100% remember whether or not Rudy checked for info on the other people caught up in the Teleportation, but still, I didn't really realize the obvious step of "find out what actually happened" before anything else. Also there's how it's been more time since the Teleportation than I thought so before Paul said "a year and change" it was always in the back of my head "they'll figure out what happened when they get back!" Not remembering they are pretty much traversing the entire world.
Sort of but not really. Paul sent that letter at the same time that they were at the Rikarisu guild. Due to the distance, it wasn't there yet. By the time they were at the Zant Port, it absolutely would have been at the local guild. Which is why Paul asks twice about how didn't see it since he must have been at Zant Port. As we all know, Rudy and co was in Zant Port for all of 10 minutes before Rudy ended up getting kidnapped, etc etc. So it's just an unfortunate situation all around.
In part I defend Rudeus, since although it was irresponsible for him not to think about his family he also didn't now theire were disappear, he did not have a way to do anything, he had no money, he had no contacts, he did not know what to do, because even though Paul did help people who were teleported, Paul in a way had it more easy than Rudeus because he was not teleported to such a distant place or dangerous with Norn , he returned well with Norn in days and with the monetary help of Alphonse the Boreas butler, a rescue service was created for the missing persons and also in Milis was the mother of Zenith who has a high social status (who helped Paul in some way while they were in Milis) but Rudeus also struggled on his part to get back well, In the end, Paul had too many expectations in Rudeus which were not fulfilled, and he took it out very badly in Rudeus.
@@Donovarkhallum I know I only said this because in part even if they were not disappear he could at least think in his family but I know he didn't now, I defend Rudeus in most part just because Paul was more jerk but in the end Paul also did work hard.
its because he didnt know that paul is so pissed. Like if you hear about a natural disaster near where your family is or a pile up on the highway your family uses to get to and from work. or hell just a bad storm, you check. paul respects the hell out of his son and when you respect someone you also expect a hell of a lot from them. that on top of the stress and despair from searching for his family without an trace of them just made him snap. That being said Rudeus did have his own problems to deal with but also treated his problems almost like a game. Reality slapping him in the face once again like it did when he let that guy get killed by the snake will hopefully give him a strong enough wake up call. Its alot to put on a child but.. the dudes mind is what 30+ he's not a child. Now to just see if he lets the despair break him and hides from it or if he becomes a better person because of it.
@@zentraglitch Rudeus didn't now that his family was teleported in the demon continent there were people that didn't now or talk about about the situation but I know he was naive(and irresponsible) about not thinking in his family , Paul have to many expectations in Rudeus and that end up bad because Paul also didn't find anyone of his family and also Rudeus is new in this World he never was in place like the demon continent even Paul never did go to the demon continent, in some way Rudeus see the good in the bad(He was serious in moments like when he think in destroy an entire City to protect Eris and Ruijered.)
That perfectly cut mountain in the beginning is the one that Geese told abt in the previous episode....... someone cut the mountain in half just by one swing of his blade
In the novels they explain why that girl wears that bikini armor. The mage near her is her sister who was sold as a sex slave, because of that she is so ashamed of herself when they look at her so her big sister wears that to attract everyones eyes away from her sister... Best sis of the year in my humble opinion.
Rudy has been in the habit of going to the guild in each city, that's how they've been earning money at each stop of their journey. The problem was that before he went to the guild in port Zant he had to go to the smuggler's hideout to get Rujierd first and then he got taken prisoner by the beast people. Then he got stuck there for a whole season because of the weather. So it's not really his fault that he missed the message.
Surprised to see a reaction which saw the flaws on both sides. Rudy was definitely dense but he couldn't have known how large the teleport blast was since he was at the epicenter, he had to focus on one task to make it off the demon continent and later he just never saw the letters at the guilds because of events. Paul at this point is also just tired and had high expectations since Rudy is a prodigy. Next episode is the resolution and Geese will get more screen time so that cool.
Isn't the mom a healer though? I'm pretty sure healers aren't good at fighting and I would assume the man that has been with her for years would know what she capable of, so if he worried about her it means this might be more than she capable of, at least alone.
Rudy is not the only one with a demon eye, Ghislaine also has one under her eye patch that was see in the earlier episode when they teleported, and I believe she may have also been trained by the sword god.
I haven´t read the novels nor the manga so this is just my assumption, I think Rudy asked for Silphy first because for him it would be obvious his mom would be with Paul just like Norm was.
a little spoiler, it's not really important. But the reason why his mom didnt got teleported with them was because I think Norn and Paul was outside playing while the mom is inside the house. Just like how Ghislaine didnt get teleported with them because she's a bit far away
People need to remember that in this world you’re an adult once you’re 15 so Paul expecting his prodigy of a child to think like an duly in their world would at 12/13 isn’t as far fetched as y’all think. Rudy literally surpassed his magic tutor in a fraction of the time it took her to learn basic magic (Paul’s expectations were unrealistic still but not as crazy as some of y’all make it seem)
People just injecting their own world views into the medieval-like era of Mushoku Tensei -"He's just a kid" Yeah a kid, mature enough to save Paul's marriage, surpassed his Magic teacher when he was younger and got allowed to work in the city. And people forgot he's not a kid inside.
@@Kaimax61 exactly the “he’s just a kid talk” shouldn’t be brought up at this point of the story especially after everyone (including me) felt uncomfortable with Rudy trying to touch on Eris for the main fact that internally he is an adult
"It's crazy this man just joined with them like that." lol there's a reason for everything that happens in this story. In Rudy's defense, Paul's letter never made it to the Demon Continent and he never got to the Guild in the other Millis Continent town because he got kidnapped first. He also didn't realize the teleportation incident stretched that far out because his home village was so far away. The Demon Continent is also pretty much impossible for any regular humans to survive on so there probably weren't any that made it and Rudy had to focus on protecting Eris.
To the whole “What about sylvie” point, I don’t blame since being reincarnated and having his memories he wouldn’t view or value them as heavily as we would to our parents. Meanwhile Sylvie was his first relationship he formed on his own and a little child alone I always find it weird when people(mainly characters in shows) try to nitpick the order of names and then criticize or judge you because you said one name over another when your obviously gonna ask if everyone’s ok. Does it really matter if he said Zenith or Sylvie first?
Well first person that comes to mind. Its what people nitpick on in irl arguements as well. Tho Rudy here doesnt mention it because he thinks they’re safe. Father is A rank, Mother is S rank. They were hundreds of miles away when the disaster happened. His sister was right there with dad. He wouldn’t know better.
And yeah, I don't think Sylvie lived close to Rudy's home, so Sylvie's home would appear relatively closer to the disaster compared to his home. Plus Rudy and Eris got teleported(tp'd) together to the Demon Continent, he thought Paul and the family might have been tp'd together as well (and sylvie who was probably farther away from his family might have gotten tp'd alone) after the disaster(and he didn't think the disaster would reach his village).
@@Mythriaz Yeah I know people irl say it too and I find it annoying. Even if he didn’t know they were safe, I still don’t think it was something to nitpick on. I still feel as if realistically he would care more about Sylvie than his own parents just because he didn’t have to pretend to be someone he wasn’t since he got reincarnated and all. The fact that he calls Paul, Paul instead of dad sort of proves it
@Edward Sorry but people who think Rudy's selfish here I'm not even gonna bother explaining. Read the novel. Psyche ain't that simple and it's not like people who accuse him of such are saints either. Best shape or not, Paul failed as a father here but it's fine, we all make mistakes. @Captainsnake I totally get you. It's jumping the gun on assumptions. That would be up for debate but even as a 'pretend son'. He did see them as his family. Even more so than the ones back in his previous life. So the end predicament here is, whether or not he'd care about his 'best friend' or his 'family' more. Which is a pointless question like the question of saving the mother or the wife first. Just a difference in intimacy. Though I'm sure someone can explain it better than me.
The road leading to Milishon is very straight and clean. Not much monsters spawn near it either. That's why the "some famous saint made this path with one hit of his sword" myth is widely believed in that world. But also because Millis is a very religious kingdom
13:00 I think Rudy naturally thought Paul had already found his mom, which would have been Paul's first priority. He almost took it as a given that the rest of his family was okay
Rudy was literally transported to the other side of the map. The only time he could have seen Paul's message or sent a letter was at the Zant Port and he was immediately kidnapped by beastmen. He spent a majority of his time in the demon continent where the strongest monsters live and there are no roads but only dirt paths if that. He was also point blank on the mana disaster he couldn't of known that it went to his home village, hell he couldn't have known it went back to Roa because they traveled a bit out so he could fire off a cumulonimbus. The first time he could send a letter he tried to.
The Demon lord didn't see his true self but just the fact that he had a mana pool so crazy that it rivalled Demon God Laplace. Wasn't explained in the anime but pretty sure only Hitogami has seen his true form
bruh they were literally the first ones to be teleported, so how could they know about others being affected as well. second, they literally just got something going on with the kidnapping incident and the whole beast village arc or something. their hands were pretty full I'd say.
Both had rights and wrongs and handled it bad, but Paul took it too far. That's mainly because of him being both drunk and depressed. Rudy also did a bad job reading the room and Paul's face, and told his story the way he shouldn't have.
Rudy didn't even think about his family and when called on it he called his father a cheater like the shit was a joke. Then when he asks about sylfie instead of his mother or sister.
You got to remember this. In this world there is no real mail delivery system or any fast form of communication as it is mainly done by adventurers. Paul sending out those letters would have taken at least a year to spread out to all the guilds and that is IF they even reached it there. In the LN it's stated you had to do multiple letters and just hope one of them reached in long distances. Rudy picking up quest in all the guilds in the demon continent, Paul's letter would not get there for a long time. By the time Rudy even got into human lands, he was swept away to the great forest before he could see, talk, or do anything in the city.
all i know is if one of my family members disappeared without a trace then come back a year and half later and just immediately started talking about how lit Paris was , i'd be pissed too
"Just to clear up the Bikini armor girl (Vierra) since they skipped mentioning it when Paul was at the bar drinking before Geese showed up, it would be misguided not knowing. Vierra and her sister Shierra (mage) got teleported into a bad area and got r-word. Vierra was strong willed and bounced back but Shierra couldn't and freaks out any time a man makes eye contact with her. Rudy at one point unknowingly looked at her and she freaked out. Vierra wears it to draw attention away from her sister, she does have regular clothes casual for casual stuff." ~ got this from Devilbutt
TL;DR Another example of how Paul's really not a good dad and flips a lot of his emotional stress and baggage onto Rudy. The episode really slants it to seem like we should be disappointed with Rudeus for not thinking that other people might have been caught up and wondering about their wellbeing, but honestly if he had 1. he probably would have started obsessing over it which would lead to decreased mental health and therefore worse performance in getting back 2. there really wasn't any way that he could try and find them 3. even if he had options available to search they had barely enough money just to get Ruijerd, Eris, and himself as far as they are 4. they were the first caught in the blast, they had no reason to believe it affected as large of an area as it did and the only other person they thought was caught up was Ghislaine. At the end of the day, Paul shouldn't be expecting this much of his 13 year old son and the relief of seeing Rudeus alive and well lasted about, what, 5 seconds? While the episode makes it seem like Rudeus doesn't care about anyone from his life but Eris, truly it's Paul that isn't showing any care for his child who miraculously traveled across continents and oceans to get back to home. But of course that was hinted at near the end of the first part of season 1 when, in his letter, Paul straight up says he isn't thinking about finding Rudeus AT ALL. Paul thinks Rudeus can take care of himself so he prioritized taking care of Norn and helping people WHO WEREN'T HIS FAMILY. Something Paul admonishes Rudy for doing. Like father like son, Rudeus is under the passive belief that his family can take care of themselves so he prioritizes getting himself and Eris out of an extremely dire situation and then, when he does realize that the village was affected, his first thought is to ask about those who he cares about who don't have either the skills to take care of themselves or a reliable protector. Which is why him asking about Sylphy is a bad look, but, considering what Roxy said last episode, he knows his mom was the same rank adventurer as his dad and can probably take care of herself. Also Paul didn't start off by saying that his mom, Lillia, and Aisha were all missing (something you'd kinda expect him to say up front, but Paul is just as bad as Rudy at communication) so why would Rudy assume that, especially as a 13 year old? Which is ANOTHER THING, I can understand Paul being very desperate to find Lillia and Aisha as they are just regular people at best, but him NOT thinking his wife could take care of herself and prioritizing finding her over one of his own CHILDREN is really kinda fucked up. Like regardless of if Rudeus is a prodigy, he's still Paul's son, a child. It's really disgusting, when you think about it, to both patronize your former adventurer wife and show reckless disregard for your son's safety by implying the son should be able to take care of himself (and potentially die trying) and his wife CAN'T. Paul is not handling any of this well, and the main way he seems to have been keeping himself together is by assuming that Rudy would magically have the issue solved when he showed up again. It's like Paul just wants someone to vent frustration at and make them feel just as miserable as he does. I mean, really, what could Paul have ACTUALLY thought Rudy would be able to do to find everyone that Paul couldn't do as well?
I do feel Rudy was at fault for not sending a letter to either Eris's family, his family, or to Roxy in 1.5 years. That's a long time to not let either group know what happened to you guys and even Eris is at fault for apparently not thinking of trying to reach her family. Unless Rudy was still abiding by Paul's unreasonable rule of not making contact with the family, lol. The beginning of this episode had him acknowledge not remembering to send a letter in that span of time and only thought of doing it in this continent? Maybe communication was hard to use in the Demon Continent but as an anime-only, it didn't seem like that was a problem and was simply a case of Rudy just not trying to communicate with his or Eris's family, for some reason. Also, he knows that Ghislaine was also transported but in the anime, they didn't try to look for her. Another issue is that Rudy not only meets his dad and even if he assumed that his mom and the others were fine with Paul, why didn't he ask of their well-being before and after his disagreement with Paul? He was even gonna leave this city out of depression without ever asking how his other family members were doing. Besides these issues that Rudy should have thought about, I don't think Rudy was at fault in any way.
I wouldn’t say Paul isn’t a good dad he just snapped like a lot of stressed out parents do when put in situations like this, it wasn’t logical at all but nothing to happened to them is logical either he’s clearly drank, depressed and angry that he’s accomplished so little so far and can’t find his wife and his other child and her mother. Paul really cares for Rudy his frustration just came out with how from his pov Rudy didn’t think of his family first or to write to them as soon as he could seeing as he went missing.
@@Yoannan_I I definitely am not blaming Paul either. I was just pointing out that besides the points I made about Rudy (which were thankfully clarified for me by another commentor), Rudy didn't do anything wrong in his situation which was really unfavorable. It makes sense for why Paul reacted the way he did especially since he was drunk and stressed as all hell and his own fault would be that he didn't catch Rudy up to speed on things from the get-go when the latter clearly didn't understand the depth of the issue.
About Sylphie. In anime, it wasn't shown but in LN was. Rudeus thought to himself that if Paul and Norn were here then it meant that his whole family is here safe and sound too. I guess he thought so subconsciously. That's why he asked about Sylphie first. Because she wasn't part of his family, thus she was the only one who was in a potential danger
Of course it wasn't intentional on Rudy's part but you can see when he asked about Sylphy first. His brain doesn't want to even remotely imagine the idea of his family being effect by the same Mana Calamity. His ultimate goal, the place where he belongs, the place where his warm and happy family awaiting his triumphant return - gone. That's how human brain works.
My take is that we as the audience knows that rudeous has the mind of a middle age man but why does his father treat him that way. His father is suppose to view him as a 13 year old child that won't be able to think everything through like that
U must've forgotten how he saw him in Buena village, he sees him as a prodigy, he became a Saint ranked water mage at 5 years old. Of course Paul is gonna except more from him, he even said it himself at the bar
The lady with almost no clothes is sister of the wizard that shot waterball on the Rudeus. The wizard was a sex slave until Paul rescue her and her sister wears like this to atract the men's sight and avoid look for the wizard.
@@慈悲-d4u yeah, and the manga for me is raw which I like. I also like the scene where rudeus did the bakuga move which deku copied on mha. But instead of the move, they changed it with wind magic. More so, the manga for me has more emotions than the anime, especially for rudeus.
The reason why he didn't knew about the message at Zant port is that right after they arive, Rudy got kidnap in the beast village. And even before that the party of Roxy was spreading this message to every guild but Rudy just so happened to never go to the guild while staying in the port city due to the demon eye thing.
everything rudy did and think is understandable for us because we've seen his perspective but if we saw Paul's perspective ill say he's pretty much understandable too. But the way he handle this talk is nowhere near good like u just saw ur son after a lot of years and instead of hugging him, u scolded him and punched him?? then when he defended himself *he's the bad guy?* FATHER OF THE YEAR, PAUL. FATHER OF THE YEAR.
Reminds me of when I met my biological didn't bother after I got out the Navy... had to punch him... I only joined cause I wanted to be like him and he didn't care haha.
Same here, I made $12,400 profits on investing since I started trading with Mr Benjamin, his trading strategies are too notch am winning consistently trading with Mr Benjamin Harold . He really the best broker I've made a lot of profit investing with him.
After watching so many RUclips tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses untill Mr Benjamin Harold started managing my investment now, I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Mr Benjamin Harold . His been a blessing to my family.
Add to the fact that for twenty plus years, in his previous life, he was associal, if not anti-social, after his trauma at school. He couldn't leave the edge of the garden for years, even the garden was rough when he as Rudy was little. So reading a room or picking on non-verbal stuff? He never had it.
Well from Rudy's perspective, he wouldn't have guessed that that incident was so large that his family would be caught up in it. After all, they were in a relatively far away village.
Paul's been looking for anyone who got caught up in the incident, not just people from their village. The whole region got teleported so it ended up being quite a lot of people.
One of the draws of Mushoku Tensei is Rudeus’ chance at being better than he used to be. This isn’t just a case of “i was busy, surviving on the Demon Continent.” But also a symptom of who he used to be. In his previous life his family was not a priority of his. He didn’t have a good relationship with his parents. He wasn’t even there at their funerals, but he felt entitled to mooch off of them and I’m sure pick at their weaknesses and deficiencies. Something that he brought over into his interactions with Paul at the beginning of the series. He was used to doing that. He’s worked on himself, learning about magic, getting a job, pursuing romantic endeavors, being a good teacher. All skills that focus inward. He still hasn’t learned to care about his family. He’s projecting his previous family onto his new family. Just like his parents funeral, jacking off (his romantic interests), playing video games (going on adventures in the demon continent) were better things to focus on. “He wasn’t thinking about that.” And Paul exposed that. I’m interested to see now that he’s realized he till has some growing to do what he’ll do going forward.
Paul said there was a paper in zand port about the situation for the missing people, zand port is the closest port from the demon continent , Rudy never went there, they were smuggled straight to the beast continent to kidnap beast children, but Rudy didn’t explain how they got there yet, Paul cut Rudy off before he could explain that part
To be fair to Rudy, he was at the center of the mana disaster and that was in a field outside of Eris' town. For all they knew it was just him, Eris and Ghislaine and even if it was a larger area Rudy surely wouldn't have thought it reached as far as his hometown.
Well his mom is a S-Class adventurer, she can defend herself. Rudy also probably assumed she was fine and with her. also Roa village is FAR from where the mana disaster happened, and rudy was right next to it. Rudy then ended up in probably the farthest possible area when the teleport landed. the other side of the demon continent. by the time he got to the demon port, word STILL hadn't reached that area yet ( since Roxy had just landed herself and is assumed to be the first arrival, outside of slaves and traders, who don't do anything with the guild assumingly ). so he gets smuggled to the other country and gets IMMEDIATELY abducted by the beast people, then went directly to Millis. Rudy had no opportunity to know about the scale of the disaster. Because he never SAW any guild boards with up to date info.
AND THEN, he put his focus on getting Eris back to her family, the JOB his DAD sent him to do that separated them. i would have assumed that MAYBE the nearby town got hit in the disaster, but now were thinking like, an ENTIRE COUNTY? thats even beyond nuke levels of disaster.
what a reunion!
Can you react to team Mutant Ninja Turtles the 2012 tv show
I realy liked this ep, but i dont know why, in the mangá it was more deeper and emocional, not the ep wasnt good, i Just think i was expectin something better (sorry for any writting error, i am from Brazil, love you guys)
Whatever Union indeed. It's going to get much better trust me
Was rudeus really wrong though?
it is really sad, the anime doesnt explain it but rudy downplayed and make everything that happened to him sound like it was nothing so his dad didnt worry. it didnt go well
i hope they explain why the warrior women dress like that
For clarification about the eye (this is skipped content): Kishirika didn't see Rudy's mental form (his old self), she used a eye that sees the flow of mana and was disgusted because of his large mana pool, saying that it's even bigger than the demon god Laplaces
Edit:
More clarifications:
Geese told us last episode about a legend how the man who founded Milis, Saint Milis, made the road they are walking on with a single swing of his sword. That's why the path looks cleaved.
Also, after Rudy got off at Zant port he had to immediately go and rescue Ruijerd, and after that he got captured by the beast people, he didn't have the time to go to the adventurers guild, just bad timing all around.
Another thing to think about is the radius of the teleportation itself, Rudy never asumed that Buena village was caugh in the explosion because of how far away they were. Rudy traveled with a carriage from Buena to Roa within 6-7 hours, knowing that a 2horse carriage goes 3-4 miles per hour thats around 24-28miles (38-45 kilometars). That would mean that the explosion went 28+miles in range which is more than 7x the size of a nuke.
And Rudy was quite LITEARLLY infront of the explosion when it happened, so he never assumed it would go that far.
Yeah, in the manga only a few chapters ago was this mana pool thing clarified. I guess I never realized that rudeus just uses magic left and right with no limit
I do feel Rudy was at fault for not sending a letter to either Eris's family, his family, or to Roxy in 1.5 years. That's a long time to not let either group know what happened to you guys and even Eris is at fault for apparently not thinking of trying to reach her family. Unless Rudy was still abiding by Paul's unreasonable rule of not making contact with the family, lol.
The beginning of this episode had him acknowledge not remembering to send a letter in that span of time and only thought of doing it in this continent? Maybe communication was hard to use in the Demon Continent but as an anime-only, it didn't seem like that was a problem and was simply a case of Rudy just not trying to communicate with his or Eris's family, for some reason. Also, he knows that Ghislaine was also transported but in the anime, they didn't try to look for her.
Another issue is that Rudy not only meets his dad and even if he assumed that his mom and the others were fine with Paul, why didn't he ask of their well-being before and after his disagreement with Paul? He was even gonna leave this city out of depression without ever asking how his other family members were doing. Besides these issues that Rudy should have thought about, I don't think Rudy was at fault in any way.
@@ericfelipe4198 In the novels this was said before Rudy got his eye.
The manga definently has it's moments, like the fight with Paul was better in the manga, but the fact that it skips/changes worldbuilding, characterization, dialouge, arcs makes the manga adaptation pretty meh for the most part.
i agree with you. Rudeus isn't at fault for not thinking about his family especially with all the things he had to do currently. And if it was anyone in his position they wouldn't be thinking the the teleportation would take away everyone he probably thought only him eris and ghislaine got teleported. i hope they conclusion next episode and stop blaming each other.
@@ericfelipe4198 it's briefly hinted at in the anime, but Rudeus cast Healing on Eris almost nonstop on the boat ride to help her sea sickness without running out of mana.
Think back to episode 11. Paul’s letter said “write to the adventurer guild in Millishion”. That’s where he has been this past year.
Also, he normally would have gone to the adventurer guild in the port, but the whole kidnapping incident happened, so he wasn’t able to go to the guild to see it. He usually would have seen the message, especially since he’s an adventurer
milishion is where rudy is right now
I blame paul
@@Peaceout599 Yeah but usually the information gets passed around between all the adventurer's guild.
@@lilkhmer5 Paul left his message specifically in Port Zant. Rudy never saw the message because he was taken prisoner by the beast people, and Rujierd and Eris were running from the authorities in the port so they didn't see it in the guild either.
@@randomdud668 Yes I know this. I was replying to Cufil.
The thing about Paul is that he felt like Rudy would have cared just as much about his family than even he did. He knew that Rudy was a prodigy and basically expected more out of him. It doesn’t excuse his behavior, but Paul has been through a lot, and Rudy is the first person he would have expected to know about what happened since he was at the center of it the day the disaster occurred, and he ended up taking his dissatisfaction out on Rudy. Both parties arguments are justified, albeit through a lot of miscommunication.
Good analysis my dude.
The problem is, he doesn’t know what Rudy been through. According to the book and from the previous episodes, Rudy was transported to the Demon continent, which was much worse than his father’s location he was transported. Rudy would have become chips (or Pizza bites) for monsters that were more stronger than him. Let’s just teleport Rudy’s father into the demon continent and see what Rudy’s been through.
It's more justified on Rudy's part since not only is he like a literal 10 year old looking kid, hes been teleported to one of the worst continent in this world's isekai. This is also his first time venturing outside of his home, which he feared before, and being able to stay alive was impressive for an inexperienced kid like Rudy. Spent a lot of time saving people who wouldve their lives taken by kidnappers, and is trying to make sure to send Eris back home safely.
By this time though, Lilia and her daughter has been enslaved and Zenith is... well, her fate is very grim. Although his dad doesnt know of it yet. But is this Rudy's fault? His dad here actually put the entire blame on Rudy when Rudy literally was trying really hard to make money to survive as an adventurer.
I can't agree with that. Paul should know Rudy well enough to know that even though he's very smart, sometimes he can also be pretty blind to some things. He's also inexperienced, so expecting him to be able to look out for himself and get home safely all while also doing everything Paul wanted him to be doing, after he was literally teleported across the world to a completely alien environment, is more than Paul has any right to expect. Paul being drunk there shows he's probably spent a good amount of his time in that state lately, so to go off on Rudy while that's what he's been spending his time doing shows his hypocrisy. It also shows that he can't face up to the fact that he hasn't been able to find his family so he's avoiding having to deal with that with booze. So what does he do as soon as Rudy shows up? He takes all that self loathing and turns it on Rudy, instead of just being glad that he's alive. He also went way over the line to accuse Rudy of not writing just to keep Eris to himself. Let's face it, the only reason he would think that is because its something he might have done when he was younger. Rudy crossed a line too, but only after Paul escalated things. As far as anyone knows, Paul is the adult and Rudy is just a kid, but Paul was the one acting like a kid and putting adult expectations on Rudy.
And please do not respond with any information from the source material.
And even though Paul looks like that, Norn looks completely fine. He's treating her well
Rudeous didn't had the chance to get to the adventurer's guild in the human territory because he got kidnapped to the beastman tribe right after.
Pretty much. The earliest Rudy would have been able to see the message was in Wind Port after Roxy and her party made it there. But Rudy was bedridden due to getting his demon eye and right afterwards they found the smuggler to Zant Port.
In Zant port where there was already a posting Rudy went to find a hotel then he immediately went to collect Ruijerd which led to the whole beast tribe segment. Which also took place during the rainy season so they would be waylaid in the forest for 3 months.
Paul likely assumes that Rudy either arrived on the millis continent after the rainy season ended and immediately went through the firest or stayed in Zant port until it ended so in his eyes Rudeus should have seen the message.
By the time Rudy reaches Millishon it has been more than half a year since they arrived on the continent. Messages were already making their way through the demon continent at this point.
Well, the thing is, he could have easily found out about it even on the Demon Continent. There have been tons of people who also ended there. The info was there. He only needed to try and find out more about the incident and he would have heard all about it.
@@sojtus8681 Do u know how long it took to travel, or more specifically, how long it took for letters/news to travel? A letter accross the continent usually took around 1-2 years depending on unexpected logistic problems. When Rudeus was in the Demon continent, no one, no one knew of the mana disaster. Roxy took off almost immediately for the demon continent and only arrived when Rudeus was abt to leave, aka around 1 year of traveling. Which meant that the notice/news of the disaster only arrived at most a few months before that event. Not to mention other than the cross continent ports, no guilds in the demon continent would rlly bother with this kind of notice, thats why Roxy went there personally, to look for Rudeus family and post the notices.
@@quangtuantran7181 well yeah, he might not have found specific letter. However Rudy and Eris were not the only people transported to the demon continent. Others were as well. And those people went to various guilds across demon kontinent and posted notices for help. Roxy even run into other survivors on her way to find Rudy.
So while he might not have found news specifically about his family, he at the very least would have found out the masive scale of the incident. And from that he would have known that the aoe would have hit his home as well.

@@Kevin-sf4so Exactly the manga /light novel Did it way better with Rudy fighting paul Cause he thinks he cheated on mis mom
i mean, from rudi's perspective the mana disaster literally started where he was in the field with eris, and expanded outwards after it already swallowed rudi, how the hell was he supposed to imagine that this spell would go forward to expand into swallowing an entire nearby region, nobody talks about this, from rudi's perspective the teleportation was a small thing that happened in front of him, not this giant disaster that swallowed a entire region.
Hitogami did say it was a huge disaster
Paul was just seeking to blame anyone he could for a traumatic event, a typical PTSD symptom. Plus he's been secretly jealous of his own son for being an absolute prodigy, and this sentiment further amplifies his unreasonably high expectation in the wake of this trauma. He's never been a great person to begin with, so him being an asshole when loaded with psychological issues is hardly surprising.
Easily an S tier EP. You gotta understand from Paul’s perspective, Rudy is somewhat of a prodigy. Since Rudy was able to talk to Paul out of his anger and without any emotional attachment, Paul figured Rudy would’ve thought of trying to find out what happened to his family after the teleportation. Just miscommunication all around.
Yea but that just unrealistic expectations he was literally transported to the demon continent where u can instantly die
punching his son in the face then screaming at him about his mom disappearing (which he had no control of) was a BIT of a over reaction though so clearly on that part i'm not gonna care about his perspective
I’m not choosing sides. They both were in the right and wrong like I said, terrible miscommunication
Rudy is a 12 year old.
Paul is a bum shit dad that keeps cheating on his wife. Fuck paul
Not even a genius or an adult(Rudy) can do everything like Paul thought. His expectations were super unrealistic. I think most people were going to do the same thing like Rudy did because it's just the best for survival and Ruijerd is both a blessing and a curse for him. Paul was tired and drunk but yes it was miscommunication.
Pissed me off too but Rudy assumed his whole family was ok when he saw paul and norn so he asked about sylphy. And he couldnt have even seen the letter because he was abducted by beastmen before he could go to the place where the letter was
I thought about it the same way. He asked about sylphy first because he just assumed his the whole family would be fine.
I can understand both perspectives because we actually heard the letter around the end of 1st cour and paul wasnt worried about his son at that point so paul focusing on his wife and assuming rudy would be fine is basically the same because rudy didnt know that the blast affected buena village and assumed they were ok
Well, it looks like norn and Paul is there, so normally you would think that the mother's there too right? Paul is just being a prick
@@Echo-qk7vc Yeah, and if we are like Paul here, we can twist as, he doesn't care about his son, wtf ? He's more concerned with his S tier adventurer adult, very experienced wife, but not his inexperienced young son ? When it was completely warranted, Rudy could have died many times, hell, if not for Ruijerd, most likely would have by now. Even Roxy's part with the other S ranks from the old party, weren't that concerned with Zenith and even Rudy, more so decided to look for Lilia and Aisha as more vulnerable.
And despite Roxy's party and Paul's group looking for clues, for an year and a half, they have found nothing. Yet Rudeus should have done something himself, while barely taking care of himself and his party.
But he wasn't even that happy to see him alive and safe.
Even as Rudy was trying to save a kidnap victim (in his eyes, and technically it is, as pretty sure slavery is legal in most places there) Paul twisted that as well into goofing around playing hero. It was his mode of operation during the whole thing. Rudy couldn't do anything right.
@@daffaagung Well Paul did actually tell Rudy that his mother, half-sister and the maid were missing. I don't disagree with Paul being a prick though.
To clarify some things Rudeus and company was the only ones "to THEIR knowledge" that got clapped by the spell.
So it would make sense if it so happen to slip their mind especially when they got clapped into unknown rough desert terrain and became focused on getting their bearings and getting home.
readers knowing the sadness that will happen
As an anime only watcher it seemed logical that he wouldn't think of anyone else since he was where the disaster seemingly started. How was he supposed to know how big it was. Did it elaborate on that more in the light novel?
@@John-se6it ......yep
damn, you completely changed your comment
true i doubt rudy and eris even thought about ghislaine getting teleported as well. They prob think they were the only ones teleported
None of the guilds on the demon continent had Paul's note or any info about the mana disaster. Rudy did go into basically every guild he came across. The only Guild that had Paul's note was the one in Zant Port on the Mills Continent, but as soon as Rudy got there he went to pick up Ruijerd from the smugglers and got kidnapped.
Somewhat skipped content but Eris actually saw Paul's note at the port but never told Rudy about it.
@@punkmusic1088 That’s not cool of her to do that
@@richardthekingransom i agree but it fits with Eris's character. Both her and Paul see Rudy as a know it all/exceptional person to a fault. Eris literally thought "Rudy knows what he is doing and what to do, i just need to follow him and it will all work out. I dont need to bother him with this" She has shown this before where she yells/kicks at Rujerd to just "shut up and follow Rudy" on multiple occasions.
@@richardthekingransom She assumed he already knew about it and didn't say anything to protect her from the possibility of her family being dead.
Rudeus usually always checks out the boards and doesn't always share the "why" when he comes up with his game plans (he hides hitogami's existence from them) so something like that would be well in line with what he normally does.
@@punkmusic1088 And don't forget she's kind of dumb (I expect we'll see that in extra detail in the season finale, conjecture based on Manga spoilers) and I would not put it past her to just forget about it what with the kidnapping and all that.
Paul is overestimating Rudeus. Since he was a very smart kid, Paul thought that he would organize the situation, just like what Paul did. Thing is, Rudeus didn’t have any information about the teleportation, nor can he find it in the adventurers guild because they were threatened to be banned from the adventurers guild.
Just so you know I am aware that Paul does not know he reincarnated
He did’t overestimate him Rudy has the
mind of a 34 year old over Paul’s age as it stated Paul was 19 at the start of series the so Paul should be 30 or 31 at this point.

"Rudeus been working hard but now he look weak" This line make us know how much Eris love and respect Rudeus
A lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication in this episode where both parties are not in the wrong.
First off, Rudeus, Ghislaine and Eris were at the epicenter of the transportation so Rudy had no reference on the scale of the spell.
Then we have one of several of Rudy's character flaws, he retold his journey to his father as some grand adventure and omitted a lot of the stuff that'd make Rudy look bad. Then when faced with negative reception he switched to his cynical rebuttal mode and on top of that he doesn't read the room - we even get flashbacks to when he gets bullied, something we haven't seen since Roxy. Rudy also never got a chance to visit any guilds after leaving the demon continent since he was kidnapped by the beast people.
On the other hand we have Paul who sees Rudy as an adult with rational thinking and can take care of himself, but omits the fact that he's still just a child. Paul being flawed, both in nature and having lost his wife, maid and child, unconsciously idolizes Rudy and puts hopes that Rudy would have found one of them.
Really shitty situation that stems from Paul's and Rudy's natural chemistry of not being able to communicate and understand another's perspective - it's even symbolic when Paul wants Rudy to learn the sword but Rudy is a mage.
I’m probably asking a lot but do they talk it out in the next couple of chapters like rationally talk it out.. I really want to know
@@javanmccollo5357 Yes
He actually told the story that way and left out all the dangerous stuff to try not to worry Paul, rather than to make himself look better...
@@-CyberFrame and that won't even be the biggest moment this season
Paul put unrealistic expectations because of his own failures as a father and adult, onto Rudy.
Paul gives the nonsensical "don't talk to your parents" that way attitude when he guilts Rudeus, saying "why didn't you look for your parents/family or write to us as soon as you could?"
It's faster for Rudy to physical get back to them, not tlike his parents could meet him halfway, he's resourceful enough to try to get back on his own and a waste of time and resources for the family to meet him halfway.
I think reason rudy didn't think of none of that because he and eris was was the first people to be teleported so they didn't know the full extent of the blast so in his mind everyone is and was safe so he's main and only concern was to return eris to her parents, and also u gotta remember Paul told rudy to not write or contact them and focus solely on his job and make money to make it easier on him while he's away
ur last point is null, thats not why rudy didnt write at all. As a matter of fact he was about to write in this episode. Also to add on, Rudy never had time to go to the adventurers guild because he had to pick up Ruijerd and then he got kidnapped by beast ppl and got stuck there for months.
I mean I'm pretty sure the whole don't write or contact thing is pretty null when in your mind everyone you know probably thinks you've disappeared into who knows where.
@@ArthurPrince03 how is it nul?
@@mr.protagonist5639 but it would also mean he would be in the habit of killing the impulse to update them
Even if he was thinking about getting Eris to her parents he could’ve thought about their fate given worse case with the scale of the event it could’ve affected at least the city he was in and therefore her parents.
They're both wrong, but im with rudy. Paul is overestimating rudy, yes he's a prodigy but at the same time he's also naive and a kid, he is reincarnated so he should know what to do/think but he was a shut-in and zero social experience. He never experienced this kind of situation in life and didn't think of other possiblities but Paul went out of line on his scolding
yeah but rudy never acted naive either and he was almost a legal adult
@@friskscipio he was naive for thinking that the teleportation only happened in their area and for not understanding the seriousness of the situation.
and because he is reincarnated it close his mind
with all the games he's been playing
i think he thought everything would be fine if he just follow the questline
@@uchihareizu5729 from my perspective. The first thing is Rudy never knew the Disaster, he feel responsible for Eris Safety and he also need to help Ruijerd then they got the money issues. To me Rudy really got throwed bunch of Problem and his hand are full.
Even tho he is 40y.o he still a NEET and his knowledge about this world is just as his Age in this world
i think rudy is too optimistic because he got to a place where help already there (ruijerd and the man god). so because of that, and also he is too close to the "explosion", everything else slip his mind. in paul point of view, he didn't know any of that so he only do what he think is necessary, to search for the people. also, remember when paul scold rudy for the first time, rudy speaks for himself like an adult and act like an adult so paul thinks rudy is mature enough to act on his own. of course he will be pissed after knowing rudy is f-ing around and having a good time while his own family and neighbour and everyone is missing.
In Rudy's defense he didn't check the adventures guild CAUSE HE WAS KIDNAPPED
@Tesla-Effect and he only follows the note or the human god what to do
Loved how those 2 were laughing with the Rudy punching cene while she did know how fucked the situation was hahaha
Ikr I'm so glad Sheera is there to balance out the reaction
I'll just say this - Rudeus was in a whole other city, far from his family, hadn't seen them in years. Why would he think everyone even in his hometown would have been teleported away from an event that happened where he was? I think it's perfectly reasonable that he never thought of them.
Oh good, I thought I was the only one thinking about this.
oh and..hes a damn child?
like 12 at most? lol Paul wants him to do what exactly? Paul is a whole as clown.
that doesnt sound reasonable in any way shape or form... maybe in a couple of days after the teleportation its fine but a whole year and a half.
the reason is that rudy doesnt see them yet as their family
@@friskscipio Rudy def sees them as family, we already seen from the first four that he cares dearly for his family’s family doesn’t want it to end up like it did his his past life
@@docdirtymrclean3610 Someone else who reacted to this episode mentioned that Paul instinctively holds Rudy to a higher standard than normal kids because of how smart he was at birth and he actually had to check himself that night in part one. However, in Paul's defense as well, Rudy is a grown ass man in kid body, it's just hard to know how much that fact actually impacts his brain and ability to interact with others
Honestly they skipped a lot both from manga and LN. The most important part that was skipped in my opinion is before Rudeus left adventure guild, he looked at Paul in such way that even Paul felt guilty for what he just did
I'm pretty sure that will be in next week's episode, Rudy did make that face but it got blurred out.
yeah it's probably gonna be in the next episode
They skip a lot that's not relevant to the plot and they are going to do that in a lot of upcoming episodes. Light novel have a lot of stuffs that can be considered a filler and is irrelevant to the plot especially during part where everything is all fluff and good fun leading to a bigger arc . So expect a lot of stuff to be cut off because if they include everything word by word or detail by detail production is gonna cost more. Studio Bind is still fairly new after all
@@kenn1145 that's a HUGE spoiler right there dude, at least put a warning
@@kenn1145 BRUH you can't throw in a major spoiler like that, no I'm done i should stop reading comments at least not the replies.
One thing to note was that Rudy was at the center of the blast and so he had no way of knowing how big the radius was. For all he knew, he thought it was just him, Eris and Ghislaine.
@@Dantyx1 Oh yeah: foreign land, no contact, and probably the only humans deep in the Demon continent. It's understandable that his priority was to get Eris home and help out Ruijerd.
I think the big problem is Paul knows how incredible Rudeus. From a young age Rudy has shown he is extremely intelligent and emotionally intelligent. He even manipulated situations clearly to patch their family together (something Paul was the only one to know of). Rudy also is an unbelievably powerful mage as well as an ok swordsman. Paul probably wasn't that worried about Rudy because he had so much confidence in him. He also probably built this up in his mind through his trauma, that Rudy being so intelligent would be helping on his side too. I think the big thing is Rudy being a showman described his journey as very carefree, and all Paul's hopes of his prodigy son pulling off miraculous stuff was dashed. Now Paul is in the wrong more so, specially since he hit Rudy. Rudy had no way of knowing initially that others were effected besides the three of them... But over the year and a half you would think he would of asked around, atleast about Ghislaine for Eris's sake. I think that Rudy did definitely lose himself in the adventure a bit and formed a new family.
I seem to remember them keeping an eye out for Ghislaine on the Demon Continent at first, but when there was no sign of her they just kept going. It's not like Rudy could dedicate all of his time to searching for her when he had Eris to look after and no idea if Ghislaine was even teleported onto the same continent as them. It sucks, but it was probably their best move to just keep an eye out and keep trying to get home.
I think Paul hit him because he assumed that Paul was sleeping around. Or atleast that was the last straw
@@rohanmanuel1815 For sure, but Paul as a dad shouldn't of lost his crap on his son who.. Maybe is a teenager now? But we can see he is barely holding it together.
@@SpartanSniper3 For sure, but we need to remember it has been a year in a half since they originally were teleported. Some of that spent solely in towns and parts of it they were actively doing jobs so interacting with some people. Again, I think Paul is way more in the wrong. But Rudy should of still atleast questioned it given how inquisitive he is. Also I am actually not even sure who is mentally older him or Paul.
@@rekzors it's a massive miscommunication on both parts. Rudy was probably only telling him the fun parts about his adventures since he was enjoying most of them. Paul brought up the rudeus being happy with Eris which although technically correct caused Rudy to lash back saying that Paul was banging the other ladies which pissed Paul off. Also Paul is kinda drunk at this point so there is that aspect as well. Basically they went into a fist fight before conveying the whole story which is actually a realistic aspect of this. Ideally they would talk about the whole thing reconcile and so on but these moments of misunderstanding gives the world a realistic aspect.
BTW Paul's "message" is the one that Roxy and others read at the end of the first cour, and it was installed in various places.
The reason rudy actually didnt thought of how was his family been doing was because he was so busy keeping him and eris alive
The demon continent monsters are so strong that it can even kill paul a water god swordsman
Paul really has high hopes from a 11 year old kid
Ikr. I mean how can you think about others when you get teleported to an unknown strange place full of monsters that can kill you any time? All you can think about is your safety and can go home safely.
Dude Ruijerd is playing as bodyguard.... why are people acting like he was always in danger 24/7. Didn't you see the downtimes he has in Roxy's village, the port town where he met Kishirika? He stayed there for more than a week.
And it's been 1.5 years. not just a week.
@@Kaimax61 Ikr? Rudeus has a lot of downtime... His way of telling the story to paul convey that fact, that's why he us piss at rudy as to why he is so carefree... Not seeing the signs, the letter, the news all this years... Rudeus reasoning is trash because both didn't understand anything... Both thrown insult at each other that's why the bar fight started smh XD
Oh oh oh surely he hasn't got the time. Yeah being a pedo around eris and little kids is definitely prioritized. Oh not to mention he misses roxy but not once for hims family. Well family comes last am I right?
He would have died if it weren’t for ruijerd. He had it way easier since he was relying on a strong bodyguard
Half the comments saying Paul is still in the right or hes respectable, yall borderline bout to spoil the story and you know it, even though Rudy is a prodigy and he put expectations on his kid, that is still too much to ask for. Not just that, even if Paul was doing the right thing, hitting your own son and disrespecting him is no way to go for a dad. Overall, Rudy deserves an apology for being put on the spot almost like he was casted out.
In Paul defense... He is a young father at age 24, run away from home at age 12... Didn't have the chance to raise rudeus the normal way because his son is too abnormal... The relationship of the 2 is not of a parent and child but more of a friend/homie/roommate type XD
ikr people think prodigy is same as experience... Rudy would 100% died even if he is a prodigy, he only survived because there was someone who was experienced there
Can you imagine what Paul must be feeling by now? If I recall correctly they said it's been 1.5 years since the mana disaster, and he hasn't found his wife, Lilia, and Aisha yet. He has no idea if they've been enslaved, being tortured, raped, or killed by now. That shit is hard man. Especially since he's no doubt heard of what happened to those who've been enslaved or encountered other unfortunate incidents, hearing those things would just make him imagine the worse for his family. There was one time when my girlfriend hasn't come home even though it was very late and she's not answering my texts or calls, and when she finally answered the call, another man with rough voice answered and asked "who are you?" and when I said "who are YOU"? He hung up and turned off the phone. Turns out that my gf, along with other passengers of the bus she was riding in got held up and the robbers took their phones. So many thoughts raced through my mind that time and it was only one night. Imagine that kind of same thing happened to Paul but its 10x worse and its been 1.5 years. My knowledge is anime-only so please no LN-only hints or spoilers, but I really pray Zenith, Lilia, and Aisha, are okay.
Crazy how paul waited until he was about to leave to thoroughly explain the situation more like why not start off with that? I honestly still side with rudy, even tho paul had a lot of solid points of his own, but his expectations was his downfall not to mention him not trying to acknowledge what hardships rudy had to face to get where he was though I guess rudy might have left out that stuff while explaining what he’s been doing. There’s no way he’d know the full scale of the teleportation and I’d also assume that the whole family was safe if I saw paul and norn together. In my opinion paul was tryna gaslight the fuck out of rudy fr fr.
i mean, if you look at how proper norn look and how bad paul look
you wouldnt think paul would be alone with norn
you would think norn had someone taking care for her
@@Peaceout599 I wouldn’t think that at all simply because if we were in rudy’s shoes in that exact situation we’d be too shocked that norn even showed up like she did instead of thinking about the difference in how proper they each look. From her showing up like that one would assume the rest of the family is also in the same city leading you to ask about sylphie. Obviously what you’re saying is more of a logical analyzation, but rudy’s logic in this episode was just not quite there unfortunately.
"not to mention him not trying to acknowledge what hardships rudy had to face to get where he was though I guess rudy might have left out that stuff while explaining what he’s been doing."
Yeah, You just answered on why Paul never actually gave that acknowledgement. Rudy embellishes a bit too much that it doesn't sound that it was a struggle. Like he said, "He doesn't want Paul to get worried", but to Paul who's been stressing so much for the search effort, that wasn't the right way of telling what happened.
@@Kaimax61 I said that cause I assumed he might’ve actually said something different or made it sound different in the manga since I haven’t read it but if he basically said the same thing as the shows then yea I basically answered it. Either way I still think pauls points where valid, but I still don’t agree with him trying to gaslight rudy the way he did in that ep.
Paul is tired and drunk as fuck. He clearly isn't in the best mental state
The real reason Rudy never though about what happened to the others is sadly simple: he is still very self-centered. He does care about them, but his mentality is still "If it's not happening it front of me, it's not really my problem". He knows it's fucked up and is trying to change.
YES Finally, someone who doesn't automatically excuse Rudy as a kid, when He's a 40 year old Neet in a kids body.
Its because they were the first who got teleported
@@johnchristiancalucer4537 1) the explosion literally came from the central of city. 2) that Human-god thing already tells him how massive this event happen. 3) even if he doesn't know what happen to his family, there's an entire city of people that could teleported to random places (some of it might be Eris family and some could teleported to demon continent too). Is he bothered tho?
Yes!! Thank you
I hope he does i died when he asked whether sylphie is okay besides his mother and sister lol, i hope they make rudy a more serious character
Seeing all this Paul slander is unfortunate, they’re both justified in their arguments but whatever. Next episode will be Paul’s pov and hopefully the anime will properly it. He’s one of the best characters
The entire series has set him up as scum until this point so duh
they're both right and wrong, you cant blame them why they acted like that
@@phdm1234 lol wtf you been watching
@@phdm1234 cringe
It's not slander, it's being objective. His PoV doesn't change much at all.
I with Rudy, Paul was being a jerk and his comment that Rudy cared more about his girlfriend then his own mom Paul is literally in the same boat. Paul is more concerned with his wife and mistress and daughter then his own son, heck he said as much when he posted that note at the adventures board
Paul has every right yo be concerned for his 2 wives, along side his other MISSING daughter. Paul eas "being a jerk" because while Rudy was goofing off being a adventurer, he did not take into consideration that his family too may have been effected by the situation and did not once try to contact Anyone from home. Sure, Paul wasn't right to not validate Rudeus's hardships, yet he could've been able to be looking for survivors of the event, yet he just "forgot" and went on a fun little journey with his "girlfriend and bodyguard"
I'd say Paul has a right to be more worried about the other members of the family, considering Rudy was basically a magical prodigy at the age of 5.
I really dont like Paul, but i'm kinda with him here... Even tho, well, i also think he should be at least a bit relieved to find his missing son too...
well, we'll see in a bit, but Paul has kind of developed these unrealistic expectations for Rudeus, because he always was a prodigy, and at some point forgot that he still a child (manchild), that has flaws and weaknesses. They foreshadow this a bunch in the beginning with Paul talking a lot about not really feeling like a father, and in his note you can see his complete confidence in Rudeus' ability to handle himself. Also Paul has been mentally exhausted and depressed as he has been tirelessly searching for his family for a year and a half, and hasn't found any of them (Norn teleported with him).
@@AshRain-nu3vz but the thing is he didn't know that the teleportation hit his village, where Rudy and Eris were when it hit is pretty far away from his village. Also he might be concerned for this rest of his family but he was drunk. It's one thing for Paul to act this way if he was sober and moving town to town but he's drunk and a leader of some adventures. Look losing his family would have been super tough on Paul to the point where it broke him and he has to be drunk all the time I'm not faulting him for that but he found one of his daughters and he found his son why wasn't the first words out of his mouth "I'm so glad that you are okay have you seen your mother" but it wasn't
Love the nod to Goblin Slayer when Eris wants to go on the quest. Clearly Rudy watched the anime in his previous life
I went to rewatch your guys S1 Ep. 8, "Turning Point 1" reaction and the episode and A LOT happened. More than I realized at first. A lot of stuff has been given context and of course more context to come in the future.

I’m sorry if this feels disorganized or if some of the things mentioned have already been found out. Let me know what you guys think or if you have anything to add. If you already know any future events please write "spoilers" before commenting. Thank you for reading and I love this community! Peace!
(After Rudy’s party)
1. Rudy’s family is gathered in their home. Lilia, the family’s maid and mother of Aisha, was going to give something in a box to Rudy for his tenth birthday. She mentioned, "It’s something that Master Rudeus treasured dearly." The show may play it off as joke and reveal it’s Roxy’s panties that he stole or something, but I hope it’s something more than that.
2. After that Zenith tells Norn that Superd are the scariest demons in the world. And Norn being along Paul’s side this whole time may meet Ruijerd.
3. We then cut to Roxy’s scene in the place she’s at (I forgot which episode mentions the place she’s in, sorry) and she immediately jumps to the conclusion that the dark clouds in the Asura Kingdom, caused by the mana, may be a result of Rudy. I wonder why she thought like that?
4. Continuing, we’re introduced to person who looks half-dragon. He said "Mana is gathering. What’s gone wrong, and where." I feel like this implies something like the mana disaster happened before. Then he said, "Oh well, I’ll find out when I get there." I think we’ll meet him soon.
5. Then we meet Kishirika Kishirisu, the Great Emperor of the Demon World, right after. She states, "Oh, that’s an absurd amount of mana. Whose spell is this? What? We can’t see them." (In this scene, she is seen using one of her demon eyes she revealed in Ep. 12.) "They must be shy. What a nuisance. In that case, We’ll go meet them face to face! We are the Great Emperor of the Demon World, Kishirika Kishirisu! Follow Us, Our people!" First off, she speaks as though she’s not alone even though she physically is alone in that scene in the desert, which is very disturbing. She may be talking to someone. Then we meet her again in episode 12 and with one her multiple eyes, the green one, she scans Rudy and gives a disgusted look like she found out what he really looks like from his previous life, which doesn’t feel likely. Or she found out the amount of mana he has. This is validated because she used one of her demon eyes to see the coming mana disaster in Ep. 8. This also validates the theory that Rudy may have indirectly caused the mana disaster. Though she used different eyes in both scenes so I’m most likely wrong on that.
- Also Roshi, it’s funny you pointed out that she looks hungry in her scene in Ep. 8 because she was indeed hungry when we met her again in Ep. 12.
6. Furthermore, Lord Perugius is watching the mana in the sky from his levitating Castle and says, "This light resembles the light of summoning." Is the "summoning" something that has to do with Rudy coming to the new world? Then he says, "Could someone be seeking to undo the seal on the Demon-God Laplace?" Laplace was mentioned a couple of times in the first half of this season but I forgot what they said about him. BUT he was called "Demon-God" as opposed to Man-God who has been helping Rudy in his new life.
7. Afterwards, he calls upon Almanfi the Radiant and tells him, "Investigate the source of that mana. Slay any suspicious persons on sight." I’ll get back to this!
8. We then cut to Rudy, Eris, and Ghislaine. Rudy is about to show his most powerful spell but they’re interrupted by the mana forming dark clouds in the sky.
This is where it gets interesting!
Ghislaine removes the eye patch over
her right eye and scans the mana clouds with a green demon eye.
- The same eye Kishirika Kishirisu uses to scan Rudy in Ep. 12, "The Woman with the Demon Eyes". This confirms that Kishirika was looking at Rudy’s mana capacity. She stated in Ep. 8, "Oh, that’s an absurd amount of mana. Whose spell is this? What? We can’t see them…" "They must be shy. What a nuisance. In that case, We’ll go meet them face to face!"
Again and again it’s being hinted at that Rudy may have caused the mana disaster.
Then Almanfi the Radiant tries to surprise attack Rudy. Not Eris or Ghislaine. He immediately deduced that Rudy was the source of the mana cloud. He stated, "By order of Lord Perugius, I have come to slay the source of this disturbance…" "If I slay that boy, the disturbance may cease."
Both Roxy and Almanfi believe that Rudy is the source of the mana clouds.
Of course Ghislaine defends both Rudy and Eris but she states, "I swear it by my teacher, the Sword God Gal Farion, and the honor of Doldia!"
In Ep. 15, Slow Life in the Doldia Village, Ghislaine’s older brother tells the story of how they separated to his daughter Tona. He stated, "I was relieved when a wandering swordsman took her away from the village." I predict this wandering swordsman is the Sword God Gal Farion.
9. Lastly, Almanfi leaves because of the incoming explosion of the mana cloud that teleports everyone away from Rudy’s village.
- I also predict that either Lord Perugius or Almanfi the Radiant who works for him are one of The Seven Great Powers or the seven best fighters in the world, which was mentioned at the end of Ep. 15, when the group is heading to Milis.
* I want to know why Man-God is giving Rudy all this advice and making him do all these things. I guess he really is trying to help.
* Also Ep. 8 is called "Turning Point 1" so we may get a Turing Point 2" in the future which already hurts my brain.
Correction the mana calamity event never happened before
From a anime only perspective your on point for most of the things you said
There are 5 Turning Points throughout all of Mushoku Tensei, and as a source reader, I love the speculations and predictions you have! Its quite interesting what others have to say about the show so far as we are just in the beginning.
@@Name-me5su Thank you!
@@minos284 Much appreciated! When I started writing this I kept adding on because they were so many possibilities. Also nice pfp!
What I'd like to point out after watching this episode is that Rudeus (anime only fan btw, don't know squat about the manga, want to keep it that way) shows that due to him remembering his past life, he can't seem to cement the fact that these people are his blood. His *family*. Like he never calls Paul "Dad" or "Father" when referring to him internally. I think he does the same to his mother. So given that contextual clue, I think it's safe to assume that Rudy just flat out doesn't regard these people as his family. So of course he's going to think about his girlfriend before people he has no real emotional ties to. He's not invested in them like he is with Sylvie and it shows. I'm wondering and hoping that this event is going to change that about him because it was genuinely starting to irritate me about his character.
I think Rudy had no reason to even question how many people were caught in the mana disaster, he was exactly at the center of it (and they were far off civilization), for all he knows it wasn't but a tiny zone.
They really did this scene justice compared to what I imagined in my head when reading the novels
Well, it's basically 1:1 from the manga adaptation.
@@TucoBenedicto in what way? this is definitely LN version.
@@nene_san they aren’t mutually exclusive things.
This is STILL basically identical to the manga version of the scene.
I also think Rudy is more worried about sylphie because his mother is a seasoned adventure and she’s a novice mage girl
That. And he saw his sister with his dad so he kinda assumed that his father already found his mother
Also sylvie was his first best friend and really until this past year one of the few friends he has ever had so I’d say it’s impressive he thought of her at all and shows how much he cares about her
Tbf, it's been a year and a half since all of that happened. Paul has all the reasons to be worried about Zenith, after all, she was an S ranked adventurer and is very experienced, yet she still hasn't been found or made contact with any of the search teams, but yeah, this might also be attributed to the location where she was teleported. Zenith is either taking her sweet time (which I doubt), or she's really far into unknown territory and is in deep trouble.
nah that's bullshit, come one seriously?
What about this other sister who can't defend herself? Or the maid who has an injury and can't fight anymore?
And even if she is an ex adventure. Even if you know someone can handle themselves you'd still worry because you never know what might happen, and you love them. Paul married her and knows she can handle herself and is still worried.
Hard to blame Rudy when he's a Neet in child form. The usual reaction to seeing his dad and sis safe here, Rudy would think his mom safe, so that's why Rudy asked about Sylvie
Rudy has always been smart and level-headed and he just assumed his mom is safe even though his dad's face looked like he got hit by Pitou's aura while in zetsu mode? No, there's no excuse for Rudy asking for Sylphie first rather than his mom. Rudy is my boy but Sheera is right, he sucked at reading the room. We may also have to accept the fact that Rudy hasn't really been that caring for his parents, he didn't even go to the funeral of his real parents, and he always called his Isekai dad, Paul, and his Isekai mom, Zenith, in his head.
No I think Rudy just doesn't really care about his mom or dad mainly for the fact that he sees them as strangers. He also didn't ask about his other sister even though she wouldn't be able to protect herself at all. I'm pretty sure Rudy thinking about Sylvie first just shows his priorities and that Paul was slight in the right but at the same time so was Rudy for other aspects.
@@astorlefflinker8417 thank you someone with sense. I cannot believe the amount of people defend rudy. Because if rudy actually cared for his family the slightest, the outcomr would have been very different. He does have the time to jerk off at little kids tho.
@@edwardso8903 In my opinion both sides are in the wrong, though I was in a wtf moment when Rudy didn’t ask about his mom first.
@@edwardso8903 Though I wouldn’t go as far to say that he doesn’t care about his family but he’s definitely a bit self centered to not think about them, though some people may use the argument that he had alot on his plate and that he didn’t knew the radius of the blast but an entire year and a half without a thought, I wish for his character development but I can’t take either side in this debacle.
Yo this episode is really intense...I felt emotional just watching this entire episode.
Paul seriously wins worst dad of the year award every single time he comes on screen. Like yes Rudy in his eyes is a genius who is far smarter then anyone his age, far stronger then anyone his age but that isn't an excuse for just accusing your own child for not doing something that you're only managing to do with a fully equipped group. Rudy's been travelling as a CHILD in a place he knew jack shit about, keeping the only person he knew safe and Paul's reaction is "why haven't you been doing what I've been doing?".
I assumed after their first fight Paul would've learned his lesson on not jumping to assumptions but apparently he's just as much of a idiot as Rudy is in a lot of cases. On top of everything Rudy was right there as the incident started, he was literally person n2 caught up in the whole thing, how would he have ever guessed that the damn thing reached all the way to his own village. Not to even mention because of his trauma from his past life he barely even knows most of the villagers.
Paul is the definition of an unreasonable father, I'm not saying he hasn't had a hard time but there's a limit to how much aggression you can take out on your own child. Everyone judging Rudy is no better, they've probably just been spoon fed stories of Rudy being a genius by Paul and been hoping that a there's been someone else randomly doing something despite there being a good chance of him knowing nothing.
I'm not saying this was a bad episode, if anything is was a fantastic episode for how much it made me hate Paul but the rant about how successfully the show portrays a horrible father had to happen. In short damn is both Paul and Rudy absolutely terrible at communication, but Paul's failure to have been an actual father to Rudy again makes me want to punch him. I do really love how "real" this anime is in terms of character portrayal, makes them feel a lot more understandable in comparison to a lot of other characters.
Paul said he wasn't blaming rudy for not thinking of and doing everything but the fact that his family did not even occur in his mind throughout the journey. that said they were the first ones that got teleported so it's understandable that it slipped his mind.
Your hatred of Paul is unreasonable. Cut him some slack things have not been good for him, just look at him. He has a lot on his plate he is being a father to Norn and the leader of the rescue squad. His high expectations of Rudy are unreasonable but the reason why he was really banking on Rudy to help search for their family is because he hasn’t made any progress despite trying his hardest. He wants his family to be together again and the stress that it is causing him is very evident with his appearance and his drinking. This episode does not highlight how he is a terrible father but how his desperations end up hurting those that he cares for.
Not justified. Look at how haggard Paul is. He’s been busting ass saving people trying to find his family and I’m pretty sure used the rest of his money too
@@mjtechnoviking44 Paul is haggard, yes. But this isn't the first time that him and Rudeus have gotten into an argument directly stemming from Rudeus being different than his view of him. Before it was because he saw Rudeus as far more childish than he was, and here it's because he's severely overestimating Rudeus. He even acknowledged this being a big cause of the argument last time, and promised to be better than that.
He's fully aware of how Rudeus glossed over mistakes and bigs himself up in stories, yet uses this as the basis to claim he doesn't care for his family. A family Paul directly told him to make a lower priority in his mind when he was 7, to the point that Paul told him not to even write letters home, and wonders why now, literal years later, that it didn't occur to Rudeus.
Rudeus should never have started with his stories, but Paul as his father and given the context of how he's fucked up previously should be well aware of what happens when he jumps to conclusions.
And it's only at the end of the entire argument he even gives Rudeus the proper information of the situation, something Rudeus had no clue about because he spent a year in the demon continent completely cut off from humans and when he did get to a human town, he was immediately imprisoned and spent an entire season away.
Paul has been busting his ass and it's clearly taken its toll on the guy, but that doesn't stop him being a generally pretty bad father to Rudeus. It's no surprise that Rudeus is able to pretty quickly tell that Paul probably slept around a lot with the women in his current group, because the guy hasn't really changed his behaviour and attitudes. He's just essentially spent years doubling down on the worst aspects of himself (and to be fair, this isn't ragging on Paul overall, in the general sense he's a pretty decent guy and he saved tons of people after the explosion, but in relation to his family I think he's shit) to get by and I think it's fair Rudeus calls that out too.
Rudeus is guilty of fucking up a lot of the initial conversation, but none of that warranted the misplaced hopes and responses Paul had towards him.
"Paul seriously wins worst dad of the year award" say this to Norn. Paul created the search party and is trying his best to find every person from the village while taking care of a child. To her he is the best dad in the world.
I just love any episode that makes me shocked and thinking "why didn't I think of that?" Like, it's been a while between episodes for me so I didn't 100% remember whether or not Rudy checked for info on the other people caught up in the Teleportation, but still, I didn't really realize the obvious step of "find out what actually happened" before anything else.
Also there's how it's been more time since the Teleportation than I thought so before Paul said "a year and change" it was always in the back of my head "they'll figure out what happened when they get back!" Not remembering they are pretty much traversing the entire world.
10:16 last time they went to the guild, they had to negative interaction w/ the horse demi human adventurer
Sort of but not really. Paul sent that letter at the same time that they were at the Rikarisu guild. Due to the distance, it wasn't there yet. By the time they were at the Zant Port, it absolutely would have been at the local guild. Which is why Paul asks twice about how didn't see it since he must have been at Zant Port. As we all know, Rudy and co was in Zant Port for all of 10 minutes before Rudy ended up getting kidnapped, etc etc. So it's just an unfortunate situation all around.
this episode hit the hardest, you could see rudy being helpless and reverting back to his childhood/older life emotionally
In Rudy's defense, Zenith is a whole badass. I wouldn't really be worried about her that much either.
Ahaha…

My pfp says everything
@@kurtman6927 manga readers don't know shit, the manga didn't reach that part yet
Man this show has a great way of making you feel good... and then just dropping a ball on you.
In part I defend Rudeus, since although it was irresponsible for him not to think about his family he also didn't now theire were disappear, he did not have a way to do anything, he had no money, he had no contacts, he did not know what to do, because even though Paul did help people who were teleported, Paul in a way had it more easy than Rudeus because he was not teleported to such a distant place or dangerous with Norn , he returned well with Norn in days and with the monetary help of Alphonse the Boreas butler, a rescue service was created for the missing persons and also in Milis was the mother of Zenith who has a high social status (who helped Paul in some way while they were in Milis) but Rudeus also struggled on his part to get back well, In the end, Paul had too many expectations in Rudeus which were not fulfilled, and he took it out very badly in Rudeus.
I'm saying how was he supposed to know how big the transportation was
@@Donovarkhallum I know I only said this because in part even if they were not disappear he could at least think in his family but I know he didn't now, I defend Rudeus in most part just because Paul was more jerk but in the end Paul also did work hard.
its because he didnt know that paul is so pissed. Like if you hear about a natural disaster near where your family is or a pile up on the highway your family uses to get to and from work. or hell just a bad storm, you check. paul respects the hell out of his son and when you respect someone you also expect a hell of a lot from them. that on top of the stress and despair from searching for his family without an trace of them just made him snap. That being said Rudeus did have his own problems to deal with but also treated his problems almost like a game. Reality slapping him in the face once again like it did when he let that guy get killed by the snake will hopefully give him a strong enough wake up call. Its alot to put on a child but.. the dudes mind is what 30+ he's not a child. Now to just see if he lets the despair break him and hides from it or if he becomes a better person because of it.
Buncha good points i hadn't seen anyone bring up. Nice.
@@zentraglitch Rudeus didn't now that his family was teleported in the demon continent there were people that didn't now or talk about about the situation but I know he was naive(and irresponsible) about not thinking in his family , Paul have to many expectations in Rudeus and that end up bad because Paul also didn't find anyone of his family and also Rudeus is new in this World he never was in place like the demon continent even Paul never did go to the demon continent, in some way Rudeus see the good in the bad(He was serious in moments like when he think in destroy an entire City to protect Eris and Ruijered.)
That perfectly cut mountain in the beginning is the one that Geese told abt in the previous episode....... someone cut the mountain in half just by one swing of his blade
This episode hit me ......I was mad at show for not addressing the teleported people specially GHILAINE but now 👍🏼
8:40 I like how Sheera looks disturbed while these two clowns were clowning away
In the novels they explain why that girl wears that bikini armor. The mage near her is her sister who was sold as a sex slave, because of that she is so ashamed of herself when they look at her so her big sister wears that to attract everyones eyes away from her sister... Best sis of the year in my humble opinion.
Rudy has spent his whole life surpassing expectations, Paul can't believe this is the one time he decided to pick the scenic route to his goal.
Rudy has been in the habit of going to the guild in each city, that's how they've been earning money at each stop of their journey. The problem was that before he went to the guild in port Zant he had to go to the smuggler's hideout to get Rujierd first and then he got taken prisoner by the beast people. Then he got stuck there for a whole season because of the weather. So it's not really his fault that he missed the message.
Surprised to see a reaction which saw the flaws on both sides. Rudy was definitely dense but he couldn't have known how large the teleport blast was since he was at the epicenter, he had to focus on one task to make it off the demon continent and later he just never saw the letters at the guilds because of events. Paul at this point is also just tired and had high expectations since Rudy is a prodigy. Next episode is the resolution and Geese will get more screen time so that cool.
9:28 Moms an S class adventure, I wish Paul had some more faith in her ability
Isn't the mom a healer though? I'm pretty sure healers aren't good at fighting and I would assume the man that has been with her for years would know what she capable of, so if he worried about her it means this might be more than she capable of, at least alone.
if its in the demon continent it dont matter i think the monsters local there are way stronger would even have paul struggling
S class but on the support side not the fighting side and 1 more thing that the other kid may not teleport to the same place with her
Say that again after the labyrinth arc
@@kllrnooooova lol ur literally spoiling
Rudy is not the only one with a demon eye, Ghislaine also has one under her eye patch that was see in the earlier episode when they teleported, and I believe she may have also been trained by the sword god.
I haven´t read the novels nor the manga so this is just my assumption, I think Rudy asked for Silphy first because for him it would be obvious his mom would be with Paul just like Norm was.
a little spoiler, it's not really important. But the reason why his mom didnt got teleported with them was because I think Norn and Paul was outside playing while the mom is inside the house. Just like how Ghislaine didnt get teleported with them because she's a bit far away
yeah, just look how proper norn is, and how badly shape paul is
you would think norn has someone taking care of her
@@Sabaelos it showed all them looking out the window when it happened. Plus he was holding Norn when he was teleported.
I think cuz they were in the center of the teleportation thing thats why they never even thought about that
People need to remember that in this world you’re an adult once you’re 15 so Paul expecting his prodigy of a child to think like an duly in their world would at 12/13 isn’t as far fetched as y’all think. Rudy literally surpassed his magic tutor in a fraction of the time it took her to learn basic magic (Paul’s expectations were unrealistic still but not as crazy as some of y’all make it seem)
People just injecting their own world views into the medieval-like era of Mushoku Tensei
-"He's just a kid"
Yeah a kid, mature enough to save Paul's marriage, surpassed his Magic teacher when he was younger and got allowed to work in the city.
And people forgot he's not a kid inside.
@@Kaimax61 exactly the “he’s just a kid talk” shouldn’t be brought up at this point of the story especially after everyone (including me) felt uncomfortable with Rudy trying to touch on Eris for the main fact that internally he is an adult
I have been waiting so much time for you guys to react to this moment and for it to be animated
🗿
@Scarlet Disaster Oh yeah you're right I went back to check, my bad.
"It's crazy this man just joined with them like that."
lol there's a reason for everything that happens in this story.
In Rudy's defense, Paul's letter never made it to the Demon Continent and he never got to the Guild in the other Millis Continent town because he got kidnapped first. He also didn't realize the teleportation incident stretched that far out because his home village was so far away. The Demon Continent is also pretty much impossible for any regular humans to survive on so there probably weren't any that made it and Rudy had to focus on protecting Eris.
To the whole “What about sylvie” point, I don’t blame since being reincarnated and having his memories he wouldn’t view or value them as heavily as we would to our parents. Meanwhile Sylvie was his first relationship he formed on his own and a little child alone
I always find it weird when people(mainly characters in shows) try to nitpick the order of names and then criticize or judge you because you said one name over another when your obviously gonna ask if everyone’s ok. Does it really matter if he said Zenith or Sylvie first?
Well first person that comes to mind. Its what people nitpick on in irl arguements as well. Tho Rudy here doesnt mention it because he thinks they’re safe. Father is A rank, Mother is S rank. They were hundreds of miles away when the disaster happened. His sister was right there with dad. He wouldn’t know better.
And yeah, I don't think Sylvie lived close to Rudy's home, so Sylvie's home would appear relatively closer to the disaster compared to his home. Plus Rudy and Eris got teleported(tp'd) together to the Demon Continent, he thought Paul and the family might have been tp'd together as well (and sylvie who was probably farther away from his family might have gotten tp'd alone) after the disaster(and he didn't think the disaster would reach his village).
@@Mythriaz surely Paul looks like he is in his best shape, enjoying great family time with zenith and lilia. You can not defend rudy selfishness...
@@Mythriaz Yeah I know people irl say it too and I find it annoying. Even if he didn’t know they were safe, I still don’t think it was something to nitpick on. I still feel as if realistically he would care more about Sylvie than his own parents just because he didn’t have to pretend to be someone he wasn’t since he got reincarnated and all. The fact that he calls Paul, Paul instead of dad sort of proves it
@Edward Sorry but people who think Rudy's selfish here I'm not even gonna bother explaining. Read the novel. Psyche ain't that simple and it's not like people who accuse him of such are saints either.
Best shape or not, Paul failed as a father here but it's fine, we all make mistakes.
@Captainsnake I totally get you. It's jumping the gun on assumptions. That would be up for debate but even as a 'pretend son'. He did see them as his family. Even more so than the ones back in his previous life.
So the end predicament here is, whether or not he'd care about his 'best friend' or his 'family' more. Which is a pointless question like the question of saving the mother or the wife first. Just a difference in intimacy. Though I'm sure someone can explain it better than me.
The road leading to Milishon is very straight and clean. Not much monsters spawn near it either. That's why the "some famous saint made this path with one hit of his sword" myth is widely believed in that world. But also because Millis is a very religious kingdom
13:00 I think Rudy naturally thought Paul had already found his mom, which would have been Paul's first priority. He almost took it as a given that the rest of his family was okay
Yeah exactly, I was gonna write the same. The idea for them to not be safe was just inconceivable.
Rudy was literally transported to the other side of the map. The only time he could have seen Paul's message or sent a letter was at the Zant Port and he was immediately kidnapped by beastmen. He spent a majority of his time in the demon continent where the strongest monsters live and there are no roads but only dirt paths if that. He was also point blank on the mana disaster he couldn't of known that it went to his home village, hell he couldn't have known it went back to Roa because they traveled a bit out so he could fire off a cumulonimbus. The first time he could send a letter he tried to.
The Demon lord didn't see his true self but just the fact that he had a mana pool so crazy that it rivalled Demon God Laplace. Wasn't explained in the anime but pretty sure only Hitogami has seen his true form
bruh they were literally the first ones to be teleported, so how could they know about others being affected as well.
second, they literally just got something going on with the kidnapping incident and the whole beast village arc or something.
their hands were pretty full I'd say.
Both had rights and wrongs and handled it bad, but Paul took it too far. That's mainly because of him being both drunk and depressed. Rudy also did a bad job reading the room and Paul's face, and told his story the way he shouldn't have.
yes please, more mature people looking from both sides.
Rudy didn't even think about his family and when called on it he called his father a cheater like the shit was a joke. Then when he asks about sylfie instead of his mother or sister.
You got to remember this. In this world there is no real mail delivery system or any fast form of communication as it is mainly done by adventurers. Paul sending out those letters would have taken at least a year to spread out to all the guilds and that is IF they even reached it there. In the LN it's stated you had to do multiple letters and just hope one of them reached in long distances. Rudy picking up quest in all the guilds in the demon continent, Paul's letter would not get there for a long time. By the time Rudy even got into human lands, he was swept away to the great forest before he could see, talk, or do anything in the city.
all i know is if one of my family members disappeared without a trace then come back a year and half later and just immediately started talking about how lit Paris was , i'd be pissed too
This made me laugh!!!!
"Just to clear up the Bikini armor girl (Vierra) since they skipped mentioning it when Paul was at the bar drinking before Geese showed up, it would be misguided not knowing. Vierra and her sister Shierra (mage) got teleported into a bad area and got r-word. Vierra was strong willed and bounced back but Shierra couldn't and freaks out any time a man makes eye contact with her. Rudy at one point unknowingly looked at her and she freaked out. Vierra wears it to draw attention away from her sister, she does have regular clothes casual for casual stuff."
~ got this from Devilbutt
TL;DR Another example of how Paul's really not a good dad and flips a lot of his emotional stress and baggage onto Rudy.
The episode really slants it to seem like we should be disappointed with Rudeus for not thinking that other people might have been caught up and wondering about their wellbeing, but honestly if he had 1. he probably would have started obsessing over it which would lead to decreased mental health and therefore worse performance in getting back 2. there really wasn't any way that he could try and find them 3. even if he had options available to search they had barely enough money just to get Ruijerd, Eris, and himself as far as they are 4. they were the first caught in the blast, they had no reason to believe it affected as large of an area as it did and the only other person they thought was caught up was Ghislaine.
At the end of the day, Paul shouldn't be expecting this much of his 13 year old son and the relief of seeing Rudeus alive and well lasted about, what, 5 seconds? While the episode makes it seem like Rudeus doesn't care about anyone from his life but Eris, truly it's Paul that isn't showing any care for his child who miraculously traveled across continents and oceans to get back to home.
But of course that was hinted at near the end of the first part of season 1 when, in his letter, Paul straight up says he isn't thinking about finding Rudeus AT ALL. Paul thinks Rudeus can take care of himself so he prioritized taking care of Norn and helping people WHO WEREN'T HIS FAMILY. Something Paul admonishes Rudy for doing. Like father like son, Rudeus is under the passive belief that his family can take care of themselves so he prioritizes getting himself and Eris out of an extremely dire situation and then, when he does realize that the village was affected, his first thought is to ask about those who he cares about who don't have either the skills to take care of themselves or a reliable protector. Which is why him asking about Sylphy is a bad look, but, considering what Roxy said last episode, he knows his mom was the same rank adventurer as his dad and can probably take care of herself. Also Paul didn't start off by saying that his mom, Lillia, and Aisha were all missing (something you'd kinda expect him to say up front, but Paul is just as bad as Rudy at communication) so why would Rudy assume that, especially as a 13 year old?
Which is ANOTHER THING, I can understand Paul being very desperate to find Lillia and Aisha as they are just regular people at best, but him NOT thinking his wife could take care of herself and prioritizing finding her over one of his own CHILDREN is really kinda fucked up. Like regardless of if Rudeus is a prodigy, he's still Paul's son, a child. It's really disgusting, when you think about it, to both patronize your former adventurer wife and show reckless disregard for your son's safety by implying the son should be able to take care of himself (and potentially die trying) and his wife CAN'T.
Paul is not handling any of this well, and the main way he seems to have been keeping himself together is by assuming that Rudy would magically have the issue solved when he showed up again. It's like Paul just wants someone to vent frustration at and make them feel just as miserable as he does. I mean, really, what could Paul have ACTUALLY thought Rudy would be able to do to find everyone that Paul couldn't do as well?
I do feel Rudy was at fault for not sending a letter to either Eris's family, his family, or to Roxy in 1.5 years. That's a long time to not let either group know what happened to you guys and even Eris is at fault for apparently not thinking of trying to reach her family. Unless Rudy was still abiding by Paul's unreasonable rule of not making contact with the family, lol.
The beginning of this episode had him acknowledge not remembering to send a letter in that span of time and only thought of doing it in this continent? Maybe communication was hard to use in the Demon Continent but as an anime-only, it didn't seem like that was a problem and was simply a case of Rudy just not trying to communicate with his or Eris's family, for some reason. Also, he knows that Ghislaine was also transported but in the anime, they didn't try to look for her.
Another issue is that Rudy not only meets his dad and even if he assumed that his mom and the others were fine with Paul, why didn't he ask of their well-being before and after his disagreement with Paul? He was even gonna leave this city out of depression without ever asking how his other family members were doing. Besides these issues that Rudy should have thought about, I don't think Rudy was at fault in any way.
I wouldn’t say Paul isn’t a good dad he just snapped like a lot of stressed out parents do when put in situations like this, it wasn’t logical at all but nothing to happened to them is logical either he’s clearly drank, depressed and angry that he’s accomplished so little so far and can’t find his wife and his other child and her mother. Paul really cares for Rudy his frustration just came out with how from his pov Rudy didn’t think of his family first or to write to them as soon as he could seeing as he went missing.
@@Yoannan_I I definitely am not blaming Paul either. I was just pointing out that besides the points I made about Rudy (which were thankfully clarified for me by another commentor), Rudy didn't do anything wrong in his situation which was really unfavorable.
It makes sense for why Paul reacted the way he did especially since he was drunk and stressed as all hell and his own fault would be that he didn't catch Rudy up to speed on things from the get-go when the latter clearly didn't understand the depth of the issue.
@@jefferynwosu7223 I agree I understood your point I just wanted to add my 2 cents
@@Yoannan_I Ah, okay.
Who edits these videos? I love them. These reference throughout this whole series have been great.
This episode hit me hard in the feels
About Sylphie. In anime, it wasn't shown but in LN was. Rudeus thought to himself that if Paul and Norn were here then it meant that his whole family is here safe and sound too. I guess he thought so subconsciously. That's why he asked about Sylphie first. Because she wasn't part of his family, thus she was the only one who was in a potential danger
He was right near the center of the disaster. How the hell was he supposed to know how far it spread.
At 11:07 YaBoyRoshi he knew did you forget he went to a adventure guild to find the lost kitten ?
Not gonna lie i almost cried seeing paul like that
Of course it wasn't intentional on Rudy's part but you can see when he asked about Sylphy first. His brain doesn't want to even remotely imagine the idea of his family being effect by the same Mana Calamity. His ultimate goal, the place where he belongs, the place where his warm and happy family awaiting his triumphant return - gone.
That's how human brain works.
My take is that we as the audience knows that rudeous has the mind of a middle age man but why does his father treat him that way. His father is suppose to view him as a 13 year old child that won't be able to think everything through like that
Because of how Rudy has acted his entire life… he has never really acted like a child with Paul. Paul expects too much from him due to this
Its because he is like a prodigy in magic
So his dad trusts him too muvh as a mage which made him forget the fact that he is a child
U must've forgotten how he saw him in Buena village, he sees him as a prodigy, he became a Saint ranked water mage at 5 years old. Of course Paul is gonna except more from him, he even said it himself at the bar
Remember that Paul is a direct witness to Rudy being a prodigy.
The lady with almost no clothes is sister of the wizard that shot waterball on the Rudeus. The wizard was a sex slave until Paul rescue her and her sister wears like this to atract the men's sight and avoid look for the wizard.
The Manga was better not gonna lie about that. But I still appreciate everything the studio have done.
Yeah. fans saying the manga problem is they skipped some scene
@@慈悲-d4u yeah, and the manga for me is raw which I like. I also like the scene where rudeus did the bakuga move which deku copied on mha. But instead of the move, they changed it with wind magic. More so, the manga for me has more emotions than the anime, especially for rudeus.
The reason why he didn't knew about the message at Zant port is that right after they arive, Rudy got kidnap in the beast village. And even before that the party of Roxy was spreading this message to every guild but Rudy just so happened to never go to the guild while staying in the port city due to the demon eye thing.
everything rudy did and think is understandable for us because we've seen his perspective but if we saw Paul's perspective ill say he's pretty much understandable too. But the way he handle this talk is nowhere near good like u just saw ur son after a lot of years and instead of hugging him, u scolded him and punched him?? then when he defended himself *he's the bad guy?* FATHER OF THE YEAR, PAUL. FATHER OF THE YEAR.
Paul clearly in the right, Rudy like always just taking everything lightly getting people in danger.
I think both are right and wrong simultaneously, I dunno... I don't agree with people only looking at one end of the spectrum XD
Reminds me of when I met my biological didn't bother after I got out the Navy... had to punch him... I only joined cause I wanted to be like him and he didn't care haha.
I love how lupa says a joke or someone does then he looks at them then starts laughing
*I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money, invest some of it if you really want financial freedom......*
*I'm so happy ☺️ my life is totally changed. I've been earning $10,250 returns from my $4,000 Investment every 13 days.*
Same here, I made $12,400 profits on investing since I started trading with Mr Benjamin, his trading strategies are too notch am winning consistently trading with Mr Benjamin Harold . He really the best broker I've made a lot of profit investing with him.
eat shit i like my penny drawer
I heard a lot of investing with Mr Benjamin Harold and how good he is, please how safe are the profit?
After watching so many RUclips tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses untill Mr Benjamin Harold started managing my investment now, I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Mr Benjamin Harold . His been a blessing to my family.
Add to the fact that for twenty plus years, in his previous life, he was associal, if not anti-social, after his trauma at school. He couldn't leave the edge of the garden for years, even the garden was rough when he as Rudy was little. So reading a room or picking on non-verbal stuff? He never had it.
Well from Rudy's perspective, he wouldn't have guessed that that incident was so large that his family would be caught up in it. After all, they were in a relatively far away village.
This hit hard to home bc I feel like punching my Dad we haven't talked to each other in about 5 years now .
Paul's been looking for anyone who got caught up in the incident, not just people from their village. The whole region got teleported so it ended up being quite a lot of people.
One of the draws of Mushoku Tensei is Rudeus’ chance at being better than he used to be. This isn’t just a case of “i was busy, surviving on the Demon Continent.” But also a symptom of who he used to be. In his previous life his family was not a priority of his. He didn’t have a good relationship with his parents. He wasn’t even there at their funerals, but he felt entitled to mooch off of them and I’m sure pick at their weaknesses and deficiencies. Something that he brought over into his interactions with Paul at the beginning of the series. He was used to doing that.
He’s worked on himself, learning about magic, getting a job, pursuing romantic endeavors, being a good teacher. All skills that focus inward.
He still hasn’t learned to care about his family. He’s projecting his previous family onto his new family. Just like his parents funeral, jacking off (his romantic interests), playing video games (going on adventures in the demon continent) were better things to focus on. “He wasn’t thinking about that.” And Paul exposed that.
I’m interested to see now that he’s realized he till has some growing to do what he’ll do going forward.
Eh I think there both right and wrong but I side with rudy more.
Paul said there was a paper in zand port about the situation for the missing people, zand port is the closest port from the demon continent , Rudy never went there, they were smuggled straight to the beast continent to kidnap beast children, but Rudy didn’t explain how they got there yet, Paul cut Rudy off before he could explain that part
To be fair to Rudy, he was at the center of the mana disaster and that was in a field outside of Eris' town. For all they knew it was just him, Eris and Ghislaine and even if it was a larger area Rudy surely wouldn't have thought it reached as far as his hometown.
@2:55 LOL didn't catch that Aria reference first. Based editor.
@2:56 I was definitely thinking the intro felt like Aria as well back when I watched this lol
2:56 That ARIA reference is sublime.
Well his mom is a S-Class adventurer, she can defend herself. Rudy also probably assumed she was fine and with her. also Roa village is FAR from where the mana disaster happened, and rudy was right next to it. Rudy then ended up in probably the farthest possible area when the teleport landed. the other side of the demon continent. by the time he got to the demon port, word STILL hadn't reached that area yet ( since Roxy had just landed herself and is assumed to be the first arrival, outside of slaves and traders, who don't do anything with the guild assumingly ). so he gets smuggled to the other country and gets IMMEDIATELY abducted by the beast people, then went directly to Millis. Rudy had no opportunity to know about the scale of the disaster. Because he never SAW any guild boards with up to date info.
AND THEN, he put his focus on getting Eris back to her family, the JOB his DAD sent him to do that separated them. i would have assumed that MAYBE the nearby town got hit in the disaster, but now were thinking like, an ENTIRE COUNTY? thats even beyond nuke levels of disaster.
You can think of it as neither of them in the wrong or both of them in the wrong
Lupa every episode: That was a really good episode.
