[@matheuslima5732]

lol not funny at least i laughted with respect r.i.p Paul

[@levisallade1976]

(Writing this before watching the video) I had to pause the episode after it happened to first cry, but then I spent around 45 minutes verbally overanalyzing just how deep Paul's story is. A man who never saw himself as a good person, a good father, or a good husband was able to die with a smile on his face because he had accomplished his goal of rescuing and reuniting his family. In doing so, he is finally able to view himself as a good person, a good father, and a good husband. The writing, from the groundwork and background to the follow-through, was impeccable. Lastly, I loved how they established that Paul was the only one who could do the setup for dealing lasting damage. So, after he sacrificed himself he probably, at least for a moment, thought that his sacrifice would cause the mission to fail, but Rudy steps up and performs Paul's job of setup. From a symbolic standpoint, this shows Paul that he is leaving his family in capable hands equal to his own.

[@charless3816]

this is beautiful, thank you, RIP Paul😭😭, just when im starting to like him aswell, i also had to pause to just shed tears and process what just happened

[@ENTITY3O4]

We'll said you articulated it perfectly.

[@TheBluePhoenix008]

Man I was so not emotionally prepared for this. I never cry, but even I had to take a moment to process what happened. I was hoping Rudy would pull an Orsted and heal Paul, I was waiting for the happy moment, but it never came. It truly was a turning point. Fuck you Mushoku Tensei, fuck you. It feels like I lost my father all over again.

[@darthbiscuit]

Rudeus saw Paul like a close friend. That's a big reason why he was proud to be treated as a peer. That's also why he couldn't understand why Paul died for him. After comprehending that Paul truly saw him as his son, Rudy accepts him as his real father. Then he remembers how he failed his original parents as well. This breaks Rudy into pieces and he can't tell anyone why. It's like every time Rudy thinks he's finally grown since his past life he's brutally humbled and goes back to zero

[@specch.8873]

the audio of his last thoughts is soul crushing, the way he wasn't even able to say his last words is absolutely brutal , yet so realistic.

[@DracoInduperator]

What I felt was the worst was the fact they couldn't even bring his body back for a proper funeral. They had to do an ad hoc cremation because no one was strong enough to haul Paul's body back to the surface. Norn is going to be absolutely devastated. 😢

[@Informinator]

I believe that may be why they included the small smile he has at the end: "It's better than Rudy dying... Stay positive..."

[@tabibito-san4569]

you know what the most heart wrenching part of his death was? its that it was so quick, and not in a sense i didnt see it coming (like i know what i signed up for when i decided to watch mushoku tensei) but he dies, rudy realises it, everyone looks at him only a singular "why?" was uttered and they move on with a silent trek back home. There was no yelling by rudy, or using every healing spell or scroll at his disposal to save him albeit it would be a useless endeavor (but you know the troupe) it was acceptance of the death and damn i just have a pit in my stomach since that episode. He just met back up with paul, why did he have to go so quick. He'll never get to see rudy's home, the life he's built, he's grandchild and his own two young ones. Rudy's dream of having his whole family at the big dinner table got cut short, or in this case in half. Rip Paul, you weren't the best father but you were the father rudy needed.

[@clampa224]

After I finished the episode I went to my dad and hugged him and told him I love him

[@klemenkovacic9109]

better do it more often, one day you wake up and someone you know is gone, no more coming back. 99,9% dont realise that even tho they know, they dont live with that thought every day, if you keep that fucked up thing in mind, you will have no regrets at the end as you cherished everyone and told them so as well. me personally i was just sad cos they couldnt see their family growing up. so paul in this case told us his regrets, now just imagine feeling his regrets and projecting them irl. quite sad and depressing moment, given that it is warranted moment of real state of depression

This is a question that will most definitely be answered if the anime ever get to that point. So you won’t have to worry about that. But it is so far into the story I’m not sure if we will be able to see it lol

[@juanberro5745]

​@@LionStaringAuraKingdom my guess is he is somehow related o hitogami and he told geese about Zenith's predicament

[@KhanMann66]

It’s super spoiler but definitely related to the Man God.

[@UltimateDragon-ne5ui]

​@@juanberro5745That is my guess as well. It also makes me question what Hitogami's intentions towards Rudy are. Sure, he has given good advice so far, but the way Zenith was trapped by a monster of legend... And if he really was the one that told Geese about it... I dunno. I am starting to think Hitogami may actually be trying to hurt or even off Rudeus and all the good advice is just misdirection/deception to get his trust.

a few details in the episode i liked: the way rudy shielded from the hydra's breath attack was the same way he shielded from the red dragon's breath. the position of rudy on the floor when he lost his arm is the same as the hallucination paul had after their fight in millis. idk if its just me but rudy's demon eye seems more vibrant than when he first got it. maybe it's the new season art changing or maybe its the result of it assimilating into him with age

[@r-an-dom-s-things]

​@@Roecleanfrom what I remember, it was Rudeus

[@markmywords3817]

​@@yhwach1I think this is a spoiler so Sometime ago, I saw an older picture of Rudy having 2 hands but upon further inspection it's possible that it's a magical implement as it's covered what looked like leather gloves. Maybe he would get it back, but never in the same way as a normal hand would. Maybe it's even possible to get it back via magic, but he would choose not to as penance for allowing his dad to get killed.

[@potatoadw9387]

​@@yhwach1In s1 Orsted healed Rudeus' near death body so there definitely is very powerful healing magic out there. Though what we have seen most people aren't that talented to know such a high tier spells so finding someone to heal his hand would probably be pretty hard and even if they found someone it would probably be really expensive or something. There is also the possibility that after some research with the automaton they found at the beginning of this season they might be able to make some kind of magic prosthetic. Also a powerful healing spell is probably some secret information that countries hold so they have advantage over the others or something so finding someone who can do it is probably easier. And so far the only that competent mage that Rudeus has seen is Orsted, so maybe he is the solution? Though I'd imagine Rudeus to rather avoid him if possible, he probably doesn' want to risk his life to heal his arm.

[@silverswish100]

It's nice to hear some anime audio clips in the videos. I understand it can make copyright a million times more annoying but it is appreciated nonetheless.

Poor Heracles, the arm died to the hydra as well.

[@phatdog]

Daym that final message is hard. If they included that instead of the 'silence' for his death reveal that have would have been a crazy guilt trip! Thank you for answering my question, when I was watching it I was very confused why Rudy was struggling to see attacks despite literally having foresight while everyone else was fine. I had completely forgotten that Rudy was still a rookie too

[@kevinmignot3777]

This episode was so incredible. I've been watching animes for 18 years and reading mangas for 20.. And this fight, I think, reaches my top 5 ever. What impresses me the most is that it doesn't even have a top notch breathtaking level animation. We are not watching Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen here, in which every fight feels badass just because.. explosions of colors and stuff.. Nah, the fight here is breathtaking and let me spit out a "wow wow let me fucking breathe please" because of its rythm and pure events of action. You literally don't have time to catch your breath, it's that opressive. It doesn't feel like every anime fight where time seems to be in slowmo for you to be able to see every single movement : here, it really felt like it was in real time, and let me tell you that I have no doubt that if I was living in this anime, I would be dead sooooo fucking fast, because I struggled to catch everything that was happening there.. This, in a sense, felt so dreadfully realistic (in terms of rythm).

[@aidanwow1593]

The only thing that would be more diabolical than releasing this episode on Father's Day would be if they animate the events of the diary before Turning Point 4.

[@dbuy3]

Jesus, I do not want to see that. Turning point 4 is going to be insane. Since it involves one of my favorite characters in all of MT and how gruesome it turns out, I am going to have a hard time with it. I have complete faith though after this episode Studio Bind is going to go full heartstrings mode.

[@davidtitanium22]

i'm sure they'll end the turning point 4 episode with rudy coming back to his room and meeting "him" then dedicate the entire next episode for the diary

[@vogel2499]

Turning point 4 would be underwhelming if it's just narrated with bits of scenes every now and then. It would be better if they made entire cour just to explore the alternate future. Just to explore Rudeus descent of madness into magic god(not official title, I just coined it myself since it perfectly described Oldeus).

It's just the brain training you to handle for the worst.

[@Quxer0721]

I knew from numerous spoilers about Paul's death, but I was shocked how did this happen. As many people said in the comments Paul was amazing character. His developement throughout the story showed us broken man, who did what he could with the hand the world handed to him. From talented warrior and playboy to mature and determined man, who sacrificed his time and life for people he cared for - his family and most of villagers from Buena Village. One thing, which was probably good, was him not seeing in what state Zenith was after the rescue. But other than that his sacrifice was a big hit for everyone waiting for them. Even those two girls (those which Rudy mistakenly took as Pauls new lovers from previous part) respected him for what he did. He took a big burden upon himself, but delivered more than enough to earn utmost respect.

I'm checking the episode and Paul specifically says "shindemo" (死んでも). If you look it up in a dictionary, "shindemo" seems like more of an idiom than a literal thing. Though we all know at this point it was probably meant to put a final death flag for Paul as a character, amongst the other less obvious ones so far in the season.

7:00 my hypothesis is that Zenith was transported there first and mana crystal formed around her. This bypasses the obscene mana requirement to teleport into a solid object.

[@catxray1603]

Your hypothesis is likely wrong. It's said that Zenith had been adventuring into that labyrinth for a while after the teleportation incident, only to go missing on one of those raids.

[@iammiist]

@@catxray1603 i think thats a lie seeing as it was Geese who told Rudeus that. Remember even when Kishirika told roxy where she was, she was trapped

[@catxray1603]

@@iammiist fair, but that was also a while after the mana disaster. It's still technically possible that that piece of info is true.

[@iammiist]

@@catxray1603 No, it isnt.

16:57 Trying not to cry is diabolical 😭 BRUHHHHH i was not expecting CD Drama here AND was not expecting it to be this good 😭

[@gigoku]

Feels. Pure feels at the end. Thank you. A salute to a true man and father, Paul. o7

[@BlandSpagetti]

Honestly I don’t think Paul would have been able to handle seeing Zenith the way she was, I’m not saying anything for certain but I wouldn’t have been surprised if Paul tried to take his own life.

[@RGC_animation]

Paul is many things, but a coward is not one of them. Paul would not take his own life over that, he was prepared for Zenith to die.

[@Brianworldwide_7]

Paul would have taken care of her. His son and his two daughters.

[@Sheamu5]

He might've gone into another drinking bender, but he would've recovered. I'd be curious to what he'd do after though, I wouldn't see him as a stay at home dad/grandpa. He'd probably gone back to adventuring.

[@herren1809]

He must go out of his way to find the cure.

[@bastionsea2829]

The problem with the 'aura' explanation for Paul not getting clear of the attack is that we saw several times in this battle that physics do affect him

[@munkhgalamarmend8809]

it is cause he is moving off of immovable objects and just strong opponents while kicking rudy is the same as kicking a paper. you wouldnt have enough force to propel yourself back

[@bastionsea2829]

@@munkhgalamarmend8809 right.. physics state he would keep moving. Against the hydra,he used momentum to strengthen his attacks on rebound His kick at Rudy should have sent both of them flying in the same direction

[@windgod1909]

I can’t seem to get over this. 😢

[@MrWescottX]

For real. Ep 22

[@cliffthee9769]

As a anime only fan, I was praying so hard that Paul was alright when he kicked Rudy away, but that scene was brutal. And the final scene with zenith was heartbreaking....

[@savonbush325]

That last part hit hard……. R.I.P. Paul

[@angelserrano8386]

This fight was absolutely amazing and it broke my heart 😢

[@Nw-zh1uq]

Without the Magical blade the best option to kill the hydra would be Anti-charging spears spears-harpoons thick enough to withstand the weight of bulls,bears elephants. They would stab the underside of the jaw which is not armored and disable the heads by spearing the underjaw to the upper jaw allowing the hydra head to only flail. After that they would need to cut of the main head of the Hydra(leading head) and then the hydra would die. If there is no leading head in particular then the best option would be to attack the body in order to destroy the heart and burn it. (Or go close and perform point blank magic. since the heads cannot bite now.)

[@ghostofthepotato8143]

That was even more heartbreaking

[@CALAMlTY_]

That last bit. wow

[@Toasty_Fun]

hell yea

[@manmissing3739]

he maybe wasnt the best father, but no one can say he didnt try

[@TheBrokenCoast]

I knew this was coming and it still broke me a bit.

[@parthenonx2697]

I cried. It hit me hard. Unexpectedly so.

[@minatodroger7890]

RIP Paul went out like any good father would.

[@darnellbrantley4390]

I cried….that’s all…..I cried…

[@Zerolink30]

Normally, i watch anime laying down as i assume many also do. But when an episode goes as hard as this one, i always seem to be sitting up on the edge of the bed from the excitement.

[@hindikoalam4989]

A father's day sad ending, showing that every moment, even brief, we spend with those around us should be cherished and thankful about. We dont know when we will see them for the last time 😢😢😢😢
