[@bikaskumarkundu2638]

If the anime was completely loyal to the novel, then the female cast would've been even richer. The anime skipped through a chapter in Volume 1 named, "The Mother of the Greyrat Family", where enough characterization is given to Zenith for her to become one of the best written female characters in the show. There's also Elinalise, Therese and Nanahoshi and that's not mentioning multiple characters who haven't appeared in the anime, yet.

[@mikeluna2026]

I think the anime botched episode 23. The biggest mistake was not explaining Rudeus state of mind properly. He wasn't just sad. He was so depressed he hadn't eaten for nearly two weeks (he couldn't stomach food and puked if he tried to eat), he also had nightmares every time he tried to sleep so he must have been very sleep deprived (that'd wreak havoc with your state of mind). There was no recovery on sight. And no returning because only Rudeus could disperse the perpetual sandstorm blocking the way to the area with the teleporter. He was basically on a one way trip to the grave. Roxy literally saved his life. In the book the whole event feels like when stranded people eat their dead. It's reproachable, but understandable.

I'd disagree with sylphie being the hole. However im not an anime only. Ive read the LN. Sylphies father Laws asked sylphie if shes gonna let rudy always solve her problems and then she wanted to become stronger for rudy. Rudy was kinda the roxy for sylphie. She didnt have friends then rudy came along. She was assaulted for her hair and rudy protected her. Rudy was the reason sylphie was able to build self confidence. Rudys teachings also protected during and after the mana disaster. Back in the village sylphie kept her hair short so the green is less noticable. Sylphie is similar to eris however eris does have more development. They both heavily leaned on rudy for everything. Eventually a event occurred where they couldnt protect rudy. Then they decided to get better so that wont happen again. Great video tho.

[@ShiNijuuAKL]

The difference is that Sylphie became her own independent character whose world is bigger than just Rudeus. Eris whole world is Rudeus, everything she does IS for Rudeus. The only reason why I would say that Eris does have more development is because of how braindead and impulsive she was at the beginning. But taking into consideration what they both reach? Sylphie definitely got far ahead as a character and as a person

[@OggerFN]

​@@ShiNijuuAKL Yes I agree Sylphie has her own goals and relations while Eris doesn't really. If rudeus didn't come to the academy she would have stuck to the princess plot.

Sylphy was written like that intentionally, sadly the anime never went into it :( , before rudeus got sent off to teach eris sylphy's hole world was Rudy that's also a big reason why Rudy was sent away because Paul didn't want Sylphy's world to be Rudy, I recommend to read the LN

[@Shwooomp]

@@ItzzKish I'd disagree with Sylphie being the hole. A lot of her moments and thoughts that was there to set up her character in the future got cut in the anime. What you're saying about Sylphie is much more closer to Eris imo. Eris does not give a fk about her kingdom lol. And she trains to be strong enough to protect Rudeus, not become the best swordsman or anything

[@mattersondoom]

@@ShiNijuuAKL true 🤣

[@mikeluna2026]

I have to say my favorites are Roxy and Eris (in that order). But, you are wrong about Sylphie. A lot of her story got cut in the anime. If you've read the light novel you know Sylphie (as Fitz) has fought off and killed a lot of assassins (both while staying at the castle and while traveling to Sharia). Ariel's trip to Sharia was a huge ordeal (they sent assassins to try to off her at Asura's border). She left with around 12 retainers, but only 4 people reached Sharia alive. Sylphie will later have some chances to fight again, but she does become one of the main pillars of the household so it's not that often (but she can switch to brave and skilled fighter when needed). Though, I guess her dreams ARE more like a traditional girl's compared to Roxy (marry and become a teacher) and Eris (fight with her sword and bang).

[@ShiNijuuAKL]

Eris dreams are not to fight, her dreams are to be equal partner with Rudeus 💀💀 she fights because that's literally the only thing she can do. It is not different from Sylphie except for the fact that Eris CAN'T do anything else

[@mikeluna2026]

@@ShiNijuuAKL Well, once she becomes a sword king she pretty much already accomplished being equal to Rudeus. And I mean more like what she generally wants of life? (in the light novel she later says something like: as long as I can use my sword and make babies with Rudeus, then I'm happy/content).

[@Lickicker]

Ya i wouldnt say giving a female character realistic female goals is a bad thing. Not everyone has to have dreams of being the strongest. Sylphie is just alot more modest than the others, she wants a family but doesnt need to prove anything to have it. You can totally have a family and still improve yourself, there not mutually exclusive.

Very well put together and argumented video. I enjoyed it. I'm curious if you've seen season 2 episode 0 like others have asked as well. From my point of view it really shows Silphye as her own character.

[@syewh]

The thing about Sylphy is that she spent most of her time attached to Rudues since their first encouter as children. She was raised and loved by his family, she even got her perverted thoughts and actions from Lillia (lmao), but the point is Sylphy's attachement to Rudeus is understandable, because she feels as if they were family. She didn't get as much building for her character, but we do know for sure how attached she was to the Buena Village, to her parents and potentially Rudeus's too, too a point were she had a breakdown once Nanahoshi revealed she was responsible for that. The calmest most loving and softest character snapped that bad, for maybe the first part of her life. I think this alone is enough of a highlight to Sylphy as a character, even tho she isn't the most complex, the one with the best building nor the one with the greatest actions, she was and still the best supporting character to Rudy since day one. Since he proved how he can change to protect her from bullies, till the day were she helped him through his OD But in the end Eris 🔛🔝

Aisha's "loyalty" was even down played in the anime lol I won't deny or confirm what you said about Eris, only that you'd be asking a lot to fit in any character's reintroduction with how few episodes are left in season 2. There's really no rush, since they're not even quite at the half way point in the whole story. Sylphy's growth kinda happened outside of Rudy's purview and as a result didn't get nearly as much time on screen in the anime. With her growth mostly centering around Ariel. You probably won't get much more either, because iirc most of it was shown from that chapter was adapted as S2E0.

[@TamuSmann]

In the anime, Silphie’s character missed out on her most important arc because it was just glossed over between episodes. They did her dirty. The anime needed to do a stand alone episode ‘Silphie - Assassin Killer’ that should have matched the ‘Eris - Goblin Hunter’ episode. (And while they are at it, a ‘Roxy - Dungeon Diver’ episode wouldn’t hurt.) … This would have made her a badass in her own right, as a unique character with her own story lines and strengths. But that was skipped, so she comes off as a one note character. That being said… Eris is “Best Girl”.

(Spoilers) Yes, Sylph kinda feel less deep in the anime until now, but in the novels we have a lot more of hers internal monologues that full it up and made her the best girl. She thinks of being a greater mage or standing to continue as a guard or conquering dungeons. She acknowledge all of that, she knows she is capable. However she look to Rudeus and in the future again to her daughter, than decide that they need her more, and she can be happy being ""just the mom"" (what is honored alone). Sometimes it hurts her, yes, but until the beginning of Book 26, where I'm, she is happy, and play a vital role. She is so precious.

Is interesting for me how the autor uses norn to take us back to reality, at least in the main light novels. Norn, been a faithful follower of Millis (which resembles in many aspects the morals of the occidental society) I think is used by the autor in many moments of glory and shame of rudeus, to remind us that his actions and thoughs are actually very questionable; and yet we found them funny and we are happy when he succeeds in his schemes. The autor risks getting us out of the fantasy setting, and yet is nice having those reflections as we watch and/or read.

I think youre really not looking at Sylfie's character enough, just as you were talking i was thinking up counters to every point you had it feels like youre only looking at the surface level and what is directly shown and stated in regards to her character. Even in that regard there are still several things being overlooked.

[@ShiNijuuAKL]

1:04 do people really forget who Eris is? like... bro, after reading her POV I love her, she is very lovely, but she has no brains 💀like 0, she can't be no main character. 2:02 This is actually something Rudeus says in the LN after he saves Roxy: "I wasn’t particularly special, but Roxy was certainly an amazing person. So what if she lost to her pupil in a few narrow categories? That was no indicator of her value as a person." 3:01 just like Eris, it took a while for Erist to like Rudeus 3:56 what about Orsted? And btw, they skipped what Sara did after Rudeus left. If was adapted in a manga (separated from the main one) 8:25 bro you don't need to lie this much about Eris to say she is cool 😂 10:31 Look, I will give you a little bit the benefit of the doubt because the anime as skipped a lot of her characterization. First, here are the reason why as an anime only you should know this is not true: - she has a goal of her own, she is literally helping Ariel right now to take the kingdom. - Sylphie spent 2 years with Rudeus before getting separated from him, then she grew independent from Rudeus to the point that during the whole academy arc it was her who Rudeus always went to ask for advice. - As a 10yo kid Sylphie protected Ariel from dangerous assasins and still works as her guardian. - She even has a fashion sense now from hanging with the princess and that why she is the one who picked Rudeus new robe Now from what was skipped from the LN (things that should've been adapted this season): - Rudeus ask her if she would leave Ariel should he ask, and Sylphie says she would probably leave him because Ariel needs her and Rudeus would be ok without her. - She is able to kill when she needs to, that assasin you saw on episode 0 got all of her limbs severed when Sylphie attacked her, Sylphie is very deadly and doesn't hold back like Rudeus. - The whole travel from Asura to Sharia was skipped, Sylphie had to deal with constant attacks from assasins and she killed a lot of them, being the strongest ally from Ariel - She is the one who made Ariel president of the student council in the academy. Linia and Pursena were harrasing Ariel so Sylphie got mad and formulated a plan to beat them and use that to improve Ariel's standing. They baited a public attack from the beast girls, Sylphie got hit by the vocal magic from Pursena but was able to recover (something Rudeus wasn't capable of) and beat Linia, Pursena and 20 of their lackeys easily. This achievement was given to Ariel who used this to become the student council president in her second year which was unprecedented, if it wasn't for that, Ariel would've to wait until at least her fourth year. Meanwhile, you can check Eris POV, her whole world is just Rudeus, not sure how you got your interpretation from what we see in the anime but if you want confirmation just check her POV. Eris' entire existence depends on Rudeus, there's nothing deep there. If Sylphie doesn't have a goal of her own, then for sure Eris doesn't either 😂😂 With this video I'm noticing some extreme bias, everything from Eris is shown and interpreted incredibly charitable while Sylphie is interpreted extremely uncharitable. And this is not a problem of not having context from the novels, even just seeing from the anime's pov, you are extremely charitable to Eris character to the point of making shit up in your mind of what her characters is about, while completely ignoring everything you have seen from Sylphie and dismissing her. 10:39 I mean... how can you say that she is just "there"... when Rudeus spent so much time asking her for advice... You remember that Eris was literally just extra baggage during the whole journey right? Which was the whole reason why she left Rudeus. 10:53 I think her character defining moment was when at 10yo she was basically forced to become the guardian of a princess from the greatest nation, becoming her strongest ally and protect her from assasins instead of being extra baggage for Rudeus to take care of. 11:06 How about ending the mc whole depression arc? What were Eris moments? stop being braindead? Crying? Causing the depression arc? 😂 As you might've find out from the comments, the Anime butchered a lot of great characterization for the female characters. Mostly everything from Elinalise. Ariel's whole personality got butchered. Zenith POV, Sara POV, etc. I'm honestly impressed of how people can like Eris this much when her POV which was rushed in the anime makes her a waaaaay better. From what we got from the anime I honestly don't know how anyone could see her as more than just a trained animal, maybe is because not having the POV allows you to invent what's going on with her or something like that Edit: Just to be clear, I'm on team Roxy, same age as Rudeus, completely independent character from the start

[@c-boagames261]

He said he's an anime only. In the anime it seems like Eris wants to get stronger for a mix of two reasons. Rudeus and revenge for her parents, aka taking her kingdom back. Worded poorly, but I got what he meant. But I am on the same train as you that on a whole, Sylphie is a way better character than Eris. Eris is the stereotypical anime female out of any of them, except that she is stronger than the typical damsel in distress. She relies on Rudeus for literally everything else. (I'm team Sylphie, she's literally the best.)

[@Syvtek]

@@c-boagames261 Anime only here. I never once got the impression that Eris was motivated to "retake her Kingdom". It's been apparent since her introduction that nobility meant little to her. What did mean a lot to her was who she admired and respected. Once she accepts someone she seems fiercely loyal and will damn well make sure everyone else knows how great they are as well. We see this in S1 when she makes it clear to Rudy how great Sauros and Ghislaine are. After Rudy becomes important to her she does not stop singing his praises to anyone who will listen either (as cliff found out).

@@Syvtek I guess that’s fair. But it also does kinda seem like she wants revenge(At least at one point). However she definitely doesn’t anymore and just wants to be on equal footing with Rudues

@@c-boagames261 Her Grandfather was basically murdered and this is Eris afterall. If she got the chance to kill those involved I Think only Rudeus could stop that. I only disagreed with restoring the kingdom as a motive.

[@cliffthiel1666]

i would say sylphies simpish ways has allot to do with her childhood trauma, she grew up with no friends being bullied by every kid in the village until roxy got rudeus to get out of the house where rudeus was the first and only kid that defended her. in sylphy's eyes rudeus will allways be a hero figure that she will want to please, kinda like how every child grows up never wanting to let their parents down or be ashamed.

[@jax1670]

About Sylphy: Yea her moment to step up is coming up, it just involves a lot of buildup to that point and I mean A LOT of buildup

[@beige_projection]

I agree. the women in this anime are incredible. In S2 episode 22, when Rudy and the rest came back from the Labyrinth, Lilia, despite being devastated herself about what happened, gritted her teeth and stood strong for Rudy. Hugged him and told him to rest and that she will take care of things. She's one of the female characters that fulfill a traditional female role i.e. house choirs, being very feminine, wife material, etc, but she's a very strong character. She's proof that you don't always need to give your female character a sword and make her badass in combat in order to make her into a strong female character.

Where's Orsted!?

[@ykcasual]

disagree, they are just tropes that existed long enough to the writer to give enough care to develop them instead of introducing new characters to progress the plot. No1 can convince me that sylph and elinalise were not planned to be throwaway characters.

The female cast of MK is so much r/manwritingwoman theres literally a stunningly laughable season-finale saying 'Polygamy is good. Lemme use it as a reward for my MC cause im a very twisted person and this is MY manga, i do whatever i want'

[@hudsonball4702]

I won't spoil you. But as someone who has seen what's in the LN's, Sylphy WILL get her time to shine and be bad ass too. Probably not in season 3, but most likely in season 4.

[@Andrew-hm8no]

This show really is the show that proves you can like characters that do unlikeable things. So many of these characters do wrong things, Rudeus is a perv, Lilia seduced Paul, Paul is a cheater, Roxy uses Rudeus's depression to get with him, Eris is a bitchy tsundere, Sylphie played around for 4 fucking months before confessing, Einalese was a whore. And yet Rudeus is one of my favorite mc's in anime, Roxy is one of my favorite characters in general in anime, and just about all the other characters are still likeable despite some of their actions. It's honestly incredible. A lot of the characters change. Einalese, Rudeus, and Eris all change, Rudeus and Eris especially in a very natural-feeling way. Roxy did it to get Rudeus out of a deep depression that could've legit killed him. Sure, not all of their actions change or are justifiable, but somehow mushoku makes it so that doesn't even matter.

[@siddhantchauhan1975]

I’m not a light novel reader but I have watched videos on skipped chapters and holy shit it feels every character is the main character of the show. The characters are shitty but complex and thus makes interesting.

dont worry sylphie will get her goals soon

[@dragonmaster951753]

Sylphie is well written for being diverse among the cast. For eris to really shine she has to have that type of journey solo. You can't have every other female character doing that too. Sylphie is the timid childhood friend and like reality, she doesn't have goals cause not everyone does. Some people just coast along and build friendships along the way and that's what she does. I'm not saying she's a better character than the others but I don't think she was poorly written cause she fits what she's suppose to do. Be a strong base for Rudy that he never had before. Like she's down solid for him and while that goes against the boss queen narrative, if we're giving women options to do anything than being a support system to a man should be allowed even if it's boring. Cause it is. But boring and consistent is loved by some people

[@jetcode504]

Bros never watched monogatari

[@ItzzKish]

Nah I haven’t

[@Geaxuce]

I like sylphy as a character. Sure shes kind of plain but in a world that is always epic, i feel like her character gives us some level of grounding. Like, not everyone wants to be the best or live the most exciting life. She just wants a simple life with a family. Personally, i think thats completely fine. The female problem in most anime is that the female characters tend to act like theyve gotten stronger only to be knocked down again and pretty much just giving up. They goals and character plots tend to be pretty much cookie cutter. Thats my opinion at least
