Dying at how Anna's been acting as the bro regarding Rudeus's condition while Ben gets uncomfortable whenever it's focused on. You'd expect the roles to be reversed 💀

[@SilverYPheonix]

Ben is like the shy girl and it's beautiful 🤣🤣🤣

[@boombaam2-ey5xp]

Ben is a undercover girl just like fitz

[@Adirbal]

Honestly I relate to Ben massively, I consider myself as a quite horny dude, yet I end up reacting pretty much exactly like Ben does. I even tend to pause a lot on the "Rudy being a pervert" scenes. It's weird, but it do be like that sometimes.

Only Mushoku Tensei can create an ENTIRE ARC on ED and make it plot relevant, and legit GOOD. MT, the one fantasy anime that talks about REAL ISSUES.

Author is GOAT

[@CosmicBeing10]

@@ankoo10 i thought he was a human but if he is a goat then i think a goat that can write instead of eating pages is kinda awesome in its' own

[@Tounushi]

Also the final episode of the cour didn't have an ending animation or the usual ending soundtrack over the credits. In other words, it's the only episode in the cour to not have an ED.

[@MisterNive]

Poor Sylphie, so many people think she'd drug Rudy without his consent 😂

[@ammaR00H]

And she was worried about saying "medicine" instead of "drug" would be lying to him...

[@gagrin1565]

Shockingly common reaction isn't it? Though I'd read the LN so I don't know for sure how I'd have responded to just this scene, we are missing a fair amount of inner monologue.

[@FrameFreakStudio]

People gotta have more trust in best girl :3

[@Frozenbozo]

Lmao she kept her identity a secret a whole year I wouldnt put it past her to not tell him haha.

[@Tounushi]

In the novel she did think of it as an option, but immediately dismissed it. It would've been a nasty trick to do that to a person you care about.

[@LeonDractus]

Amazing end to the arc. The cure wasn’t just seeing Sylphie, it wasn’t even brute forcing sex with drugs and alcohol. The cure was knowing she wouldn’t leave, just like the prostitute said it would be. And our boy put a damn ring on it! Love your reactions, looking forward to next year.

[@reignmans]

the cure actually (i believe the author has already talked about it in great lengths) was love instead of lust.

[@euphy_connect]

​@@reignmansthat too

[@nikolah.8472]

It even goes deeper if you take his whole situation in. In his past life he was a virgin, introvert, no experience in social interaction with woman. I think love and lust are not so important in that situation, if you are 14 your personal sexdrive is a natural pusher that helps too. Often winning over your brain and these struggles can be also pushed away, not everytime of course. His problem from start to finish were his own insecurities, love is not the real point here, but Trust issues. His first experience let him believed she left him because he was bad in bed. Also in the manga he hated himself for going for sex and not thinking about the feelings of Eris that had horrible news from her family so short before and took advantage of the situation. Its a very mature way of story telling, because these struggles are real people problems. His second experience was also an amplifier to worsen his mind situation. Even led him to a suicide attempt. He was on the way to backfall in his introvert self. This arc was very improtant for him to find confidence and gain trust back. He was pushing himself to the max and if you overthink everything to much, so he never get a hard time(bad joke warning).

[@antoinebrg6299]

@@nikolah.8472 If I could change just one thing in the manner this subject is treated here, it would be to show more how sexuality is not limited to "Now that we're alone, engage the removing of clothes and pls insert yourself here to proceed to orgasm" xD There are so many ways of getting in the right mood, feeling safe and genuine about the discovery of yourself and your partner.

[@fatrown3]

Non-spoiler info: Rudy DID make those cups. Sylphie even mentally comments on the whole set of dishes that he made with earth magic being unique compared to normal hand made stuff

[@KaizerHuter]

She also mentions it looks expensive. Like something an Asuran Noble might own.

[@Am1nTheSaiyan]

That's actually surprising but it's expected by Redues

[@fatrown3]

@KaizerHuter yeah. I imagined the cups looking a *little* fancier, or rather less like hollowed out horns. Eh, it's not really important so I can understand letting the animators just go with what they wanted since the inner monolog of Sylphie wasn't going to be featured

[@aravel3369]

​@@fatrown3If i remember right, Rudeus at some point says something like "In this world they dont really appreciate dishes well decorated, but rather polished" I don't remember the line correctly, and i read it on Spanish so srry if something is bad written

I never noticed the callback to season 1 until you mentioned it with paul being a role model, you reminded me! Paul said something like "women like our strengths but they also like our weaknesses" after the bath scene happened with Sylphie and thats exactly what happened here without Rudy realizing it. He showed his weakness and she leaned into him like y'all said and was there for him not just physically

[@Pugnt]

[@kurimiaisukurimu]

That last frame at the end of this video is the cutest thing ❤️

[@saswatamohanta1023]

[@Percival2644]

The parallels between that ending scene with Rudy waking up and ending of S1 with Eris leaving is BEAUTIFUL. He wakes up the same way after the doing the deed both times, looks around at everyone else’s and finally discovers both girls missing. The first indication of this was something red! He first found the hair of Eris and he first looked at the blood stain in the sheets from Sylphie, reminding him of what happened last time. Eris just up and left, and how they portrayed Rudy think “It’s happened again hasn’t it…” was amazing imo! But this time, the girl (Sylphie) returns and it gives Rudy that “okay it hasn’t happened again!”, making him just starting crying, etc. etc. Such a beautiful scene and the parallels between those two scenes are just amazing imo!

[@fatrown3]

Every episode/chapter about family squabbles of one kind of another are the most impactful to me

[@Tounushi]

This way it works brilliantly in the anime. His anxiety is palpable and her return showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that this time things are different. In the book it's wholly different: he wakes up staring at the bottom of the top bunk and reminisces about the previous night and how he'd gone full jackhammer on Sylphy, fearing he'd been an even worse lover than last time over. The night with Eris had him run out of steam before her, while his night with Sylphy had him addled to the point of ignoring her comfort. He was overcome by anxiety over his behavior and by fear that he might've scared her off. Then he turns his head and sees her staring at him with a bashful smile. After brushing her hair to confirm she wasn't a hallucination, he groped her and got excited again over it, then moved to lock her in a tight embrace and thanked her with tears in his eyes. Her being there in the morning was what cured his depression and the grope proved the physical symptoms of that depression were gone.

[@mordanthubris6516]

@@Tounushi The worst part is: Eris didn't leave because of anything he did, but because she really thinks he's too good for her and wants to get better, but she's not good with words so what she said messed with his head. The last time we saw her, all she could do was talk about how amazing she thought he was and how she would become someone worthy of him, she would've been horrified if she knew how her awkward handling impacted him. But Sylphy is still best girl.

[@fcgHenden]

@@gagrin1565 Yep. Ever since that treant practice. Pretty much all his efforts have gone to making his spells not deadly. 🤣🤣

[@Tounushi]

Reminder we've seen Eris kill her first humans and she almost added Paul to the list that same day. Roxy's also killed people. Bandits and more scrupleless adventures had thought she's just a vulnerable young girl. She's lethally fended off kidnappers and adventurers who'd tried to take her quest rewards or her innocence.

[@thoughtricity4296]

That idea of there being a second mana disaster at the most inopportune time due to Nanahoshi not giving a flying FUUUCK about this world was actually brilliant.

21:08 I think i relate to this feeling like i was so caught up that they are finally have "SEGGGSSSS LEZGOO!!" but then I realize that's not the goal, that's not what this arc trying to tell, and just like that my eyes was flooded with tears. What a beautiful story 👏

[@facto3exsito352]

i would give some credit to the director, what we are seeing are the director's interpretation of the source material. and thank god, Japanese anime directors have a lots of love and respect to the source materials.

[@aeonc1107]

Even as a source reader I was not impressed by the adaptation of this episode initially. But reaction from Ben and Anna told me it was damn well directed. Very deep understanding and care went into this episode

[@TsaicoGaming]

​​@@aeonc1107as a fellow source reader, I'm just curious what you think couldve been done better. No judgement at all, I just personally thought it was exactly how the LN made me picture it. Down to the details of the scenery. Only difference was Sylphie not being next to rudy when he woke up, but the anime had to do it that way. In the LN they had ample details and monologues explaining exactly what it was psychologically that Rudy was dealing with. The anime didn't get that detailed with it, so to show the actual trauma and depression the Eris situation instilled in Rudy, they made almost a mirror image of the morning after he and Eris slept together, except Sylphy came back. It was the perfect way they could have done it in the anime, in my opinion

[@pedrofelipefreitas2666]

IIRC, studio Bind was formed with the purpose of animating Mushoku Tensei. So they're real fans of the original work, i would guess.

[@mezacharia]

@Ben (I don't know if you ever read the comments in your KZbin postings, but if you do): Glad you folks noticed the callback to the aphrodisiac from Season 1. Have you noticed though, how this series also twists the viewers perspectives/opinions about things? In the first season, when this aphrodisiac is first introduced, just about everyone reacted with "ewww! Why are you trying to sell something like this to a 5/6 year old?" But now, we see that it was introduced in the story to bring it back here and it has a nostalgic air about it (happier & simpler times, a more lewd Rudy, and Eris is involved). In a similar way, this series keeps changing our perspective about Paul. Also, when Soldat was first introduced a lot of people didn't like him, but then he becomes the chad. Or initially people saw Elinalise as a slut, but now she's become a sympathetic character. This series has even turned a pair of pilfered panties into a holy relic! 🤣 As you & Anna have mentioned, this series keeps doing things you don't expect and takes us in directions we had not considered. This is one of the reasons why I love Mushoku Tensei (the series and not just the anime)! 💛

[@thomasyoung3342]

No spoilers, just an explanation of something that was briefly covered in the show but not made super clear why. Rudy has no immediate plans of going off to look for Zenith. The reason he’s stayed in the north at all, even after learning about her whereabouts, is because there is no reason for him to go. It’s a 1-2 year trip to Rapan and Roxy had a 2 year lead on him to find Paul and rally support to venture there and find her. Even if he had left as soon as Elinalise found him, he had pretty much 0% chance of getting there before she was already secured. Him running off to join them would just make any attempts to contact him at his last known location miss completely. His declaration to Ariel at the end of this episode is that he doesn’t want to leave Ranoa until he receives word of her safety, not that he plans on leaving.

[@ajop2235]

Thisshow never fails to squeeze out emotions on people watching it. I was also very uncomfortable and was scared how they'll handle this scenes, thankfully it's very tastefully done. It really is a big difference reading something and seeing it in action.

[@Tounushi]

We're both gonna look forward to the next cour, then. I wonder if Nanahoshi's scene will sound like Takina from Lycoris Recoil, since they share the same VA. Also her shitting on Rudeus over the lack of soundproofing has to be referenced...

[@TheLaw2063]

Cute Fact: in the end credtis the "thank you" art, Rudeus and Silphy are wearing their childhood clothes, the same they wore when they first met.

[@panzlithium]

I think they will skip a lot of things, where LN readers want this part 1 being slower and have more stuffs, anime watcher wants it to be faster and get into action more.

[@aqrxv]

Just had a terrible thought (I'm not a novel reader): Roxy and co have gone off to a big labyrinth city to find Zenith. Long ago (in the Lost Connections episode) Roxy told Erinalise that her fantasy was getting into trouble in a labyrinth and being rescued by a handsome, kind adventurer....

[@priseta9290]

Nah bro, it's fine. There's nothing in the labyrinth that could harm Roxy and the other's....... Nothing.

[@lalalarose8197]

How’s it a terrible thought? What exactly even is your point?

[@dread_kaathulhu4903]

A lot of people seem to think this little arc is too slow and lacks plot, but this is really the board being set. Princess Ariel does have her motives, but Sylphie is her friend. Sylphie is powerful in her own right, but now her personal bodyguard is married to Rudeus 'Quagmire' Greyrat, a powerful mage who is a noble, who rolls with the Shirone Prince Zanoba the Decapitator Prince, Linia and Pursenia royalty of the Doldia and Dodoldia beast clans, chills with the Immortal Demon King Badigadi (fiancé of Demon Empress Kishirika), pupil to the King class water mage Roxy Megurdia, Nanahoshi the girl out of space time, and many others to be revealed. There will be more slice of life, action, and drama elements. This is the long game that seeks massive pay-offs in a great story. As a LN reader, we're just getting started. Nothing down the road means anything if the road hasn't already been built.

[@netnoob77]

By the time the entire story gets animated, which will take at least 4 full seasons, it will likely be regarded as a top 10 anime ever. For me, it is easily the best isekai. The story is so well written. For anime only watchers, there's so much to look forward to in the coming seasons.. you ain't seen nothing yet. 😎👍

Thank you very much for all the Mushoku Tensei reactions! I'm going to miss these six months, so I hope they go by quickly.

[@matilozano96]

17:30 there’s a video regarding some of MT’s later arcs and plot points that encapsulates your feelings a bit: Mushoku Tensei likes to resolve things in a bit of an anti climactic way. We didn’t get a dramatic separation because there wasn’t an in world reason to have it, I guess (only thing that comes to mind would be Zenith, which is a common criticism for this part of the story). This feeling of “man, I was expecting something more dramatic for this” will probably come up a couple more times for you. One could say it’s an attempt to portray life in a naturalistic way: things just happen, regardless of if it makes good or bad drama. It’s either that or bad writing haha. From the things already shown, I’d say the separation with Sara’s party, or the fact that Roxy and Rudeus missed each other at the demon continent could be examples of this idea. Love your reactions. Now we wait for cour 2.

[@kizufan8726]

Sara's arc was added after the WN was complete so in a way it was meant to fill in a time skip. But Rifujin used the opportunity to make it a character study arc that has become one of my favorites. The story is only starting to take shape but you can also say it was clear what this story would be about from the first episode. We are just so used to wasted dialogue and anime conventions that we ignore it. Next cour is the first of the two most dramatic arcs in the story and the third season (if we get one) is the one virtually all LN readers have been most anticipating. Trying to predict the direction of the story only starts to be possible after about the first cour of the third season..

[@Dr.Jelly22]

I never really understood that "anti climatic" thing. I guess it would depend on what expectations one has for a story, but a grudge that I commonly hold for most stories is that they are way too dramatized. That is also something I hate about the manga adaptation of Mushoku tensei among other mangas published in magazines. The common "we need a dramatic endpoint for each chapter" always feels like a desperate attempt at emotional manipulation to keep people interested. "Do you see how sad this is? Isn't this soo sad? Don't you want to know what happens in the next chapter?" Yeah, i get it, it's sad, stop shoving it in my face for fucks sake, this feels like the emotional equivalent to an orgasm denial. I much prefer a more melancholic tone in stories, or bittersweetness. Something I can look back at with a deep sight while holding this undescribable tightness in my chest.

[@sabbliz]

[@Cornholio8787]

[@whatupdoggy44]

Rudy has a spell called detox as well that helps with hang overs that’s pretty damn handy in my opinion 😊

[@-Bill.]

I'm betting Sylphie could still function as her bodyguard just as herself instead of Fitz-Senpai. She wouldn't be any weaker, and honestly, it would probably be safer for everyone. Who is going to attack and potentially kill the wife of Quagmire Rudeus, who is served by the 3rd prince of Shirone, the Doldia Princesses, is friends with the leaders of most adventuring teams, was trained by Sword King Ghislaine and Water King Roxy, single-handedly killed a red dragon and defeated Demon King Badigadi in a duel. Not really someone you want to piss off, especially if you know about his friendship with Ruijerd as well. Pretty good final episode, I wonder what weddings are like in this world, I assume the princess has authority to marry her subjects, or maybe Cliff does since he's the grandson of the Pope, and Rudy's family mostly followed the Millis religion, although we know he's a practicing Roxy-ite.

[@Tounushi]

The Millis church does big church weddings, as well as small ceremonies much akin to weddings outdoors. Cliff aims at holding his at the cathedral in Sharia. The world-building is vague on marriage, but it seems you only need the husband to provide a place for the couple to live, inform the relevant social circles, have the one entering the household to take the family name, and that's it.

[@omargoodman2999]

It was less the "sex" Rudy had a problem with, it was the anxiety and anticipation of being abandoned afterwards. It's like a mentality of, "as long as I don't do it, everything will be _status quo,_ but the *moment* I try to do something productive, that's when the universe will pull the rug out from under me." With a complex like that, you feel "safer" stagnating because you're afraid that *you* were the one who made them abandon you. He's worried if he goes all the way with someone, she'll suddenly vanish from his life. And the way to overcome that is for the opposite to be reinforced; to do it and then see that he *isn't* abandoned. But that's kinda like telling someone with cripling arachnophobia that there's a magic potion that can cure them; they just have to go get it on the other side of a room filled top to bottom with _spiders._

10:36 Lol wth was that look for, Anna? Couldn't get a read on what was so surprising there (Edit) 10:55 LOL this whole section is just gold, I guess.

[@ShneekeyTheLost]

When discussing the problems of danger for Sylphie, I do want to point out a few things. First off, she was the 'top dog' before Rudy showed up at the academy. She took out both the beastkin girls solo and nearly as easily as Rudy did. She's also got the ability to cast healing magic without incantations, which is a huge support ability that Rudy does not have. Second off, she's been in combat with high-powered assassins and come out on top, and that was in Episode Zero. She's only progressed since then. Honestly, if she'd become an adventurer instead of a princess's bodyguard, she'd probably be A ranked at least. It would pretty much have to be Orsted or some similar tier problem for the team of Rudy and Sylphie to be truly endangered. I'd also point out that Rudy's father ended up with two wives after an 'oopsie' with the maid. So there's a precedent for ending up with multiple wives if he does end up running into Roxy. Sylphie would also know how much Rudy respected Roxy from their youth together. I could see it happening, in the right circumstances. If Eris shows back up, though... she's gonna get some push-back from Sylphie for hurting Rudy like that. Then again, without Eris hurting him, Sylphie would never have reunited with him, and if she can explain herself between dodging magic blasts, Eris might manage to talk her down. Then again, if Eris gets the same kind of sword skills as Gislaine? Uhh, that fight might go a very different direction.

"Honestly, if she'd become an adventurer instead of a princess's bodyguard, she'd probably be A ranked at least." Funny you should mention that...

Your break down of why Rudy had ED and what actually cured it is 10 out of 10.

[@aiole8802]

Frieren would be the perfect follow up show to watch in between MT cours!

[@Shinnzow]

Due to the aphrodisiac effect, Rudy was too aggressive on Sylphy, even tho it was her first time, so next day he thaught that she left him because of that.

Volume 9, page 335 "As impressed as I was, though, I also found myself struggling to hold back a wave of fear and anxiety. I'd acted like a madman last night, yes. But I remember everything I'd done. To be honest, I'd been really rough with Sylphie." [...] "I wasn't at all confident that I'd done a good job. In fact I was convinced I'd behaved even worse than I did on my first time. Even worse than I'd behaved on *that* night."

If your looking to scratch that mushoku tensei itch then try frieren beyond the boundaries it’s airing this season and it’s really good

I love this kind of discussion, my favorite part of the season is the end, is kind of different of the novel but the conclusion is the same if you ever read the novel o the manga please make it a reaction to hear your points of view...

[@NfNcTHUMPER]

"I've been really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this episode. A 47-minute video? Let's dive in! Edit: 30:31: After reading the novels and hearing Anna's comment, it's quite amusing. 31:40: 😊😇

[@LanyakEquinox]

The LN handheld the scene a little better but honestly the anime still asks and asnweres the right question. Re:zero and Mushoku Tensei honestly are two of the stories that humanise tropes used in all anime of all kinds from overpowerd portagonists to tsunderes , these two shows and light novels don't feel like the anime i've been watching for 20 years they feel fresh they have something to say and they are not shy about it.
