RUDY VS...A GOD?! - Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Episode 8 REACTION + REVIEW!

[@HaruhiDream5339]

Kishirika was an adult in her last incarnation but she was killed in the Laplace war. Her body has to grow up again now that she has resurrected. In the novel there was even a line about her mentioning Badigadi complaining that they wouldnt be able to have sex for a while.

[@Braiam]

Two lines were skipped from the Badi and Rudeus conversation: when Badi asked how the fight with the Dragon God went, he said that he couldn't hurt him, just a scratch in the back of his hand. That's why Badi asked him to hit him with the same attack, which is why he didn't use the fireball and Rudeus is reminiscent when he is preparing to land his blow.

[@CaptainStef_747]

If i remember correctly Badigadi and Elinalise travelled together to rudeus but they split of and badigadi went off to an ogre island to party seen on ep 1 of s2 ... 18:00 Also Badigadi and Elinalise have aready done it

[@georgelinrack.9381]

haha i still vaguely remember what kishirika said something like 'cant be helped badi is a a cool guy and i didnt grow yet'

[@Sideman-lf3ll]

I think it was when Roxy got the information about zenith from kisidika

[@Braiam]

@@Sideman-lf3ll Yeah, Badi appears with Elinalise in the background.

[@MB-eq3sg]

Badigadi is not a demon god.he is a demon king there are a lot of demon kings and emperors in this world but there is only one demon god(laplace) and he was sealed 400 years before the story began.

[@Sideman-lf3ll]

I thought there was only 1 demon Emperor because she united the demon realm?

[@MB-eq3sg]

@Sideman-lf3ll This is a part of the text from the second volume of the light novel: In the long history of demons, there were many Demon Kings and Demon Emperors, but there was only one who people referred to as the Demon God.

[@dankmemer6576]

​@@MB-eq3sgThe text here doesn't match with what your original comment said. The text is saying that there's been many throughout history, as in there being only 1 king and 1 emperor but they get replaced, or in this case probably reincarnation. Not "many" as in at lot existing at once.

[@zacharyfewins8087]

There have been at least two demon gods. Probably only two. Demon God Laplace and the original demon god, the father of Kishirika.

[@Sideman-lf3ll]

@zacharyfewins8087 was necrosis lacrosse a demon god? I thought he was a king or Emperor. Cause there was just the original demon god then there was Laplace I thought

[@joshaviles951]

[@visoth7791]

Going to go over some alterations and skipped content the Anime made. This episode was heavily cut/altered. Lot of important information was skipped and outright changed for no good reason. This whole event with Badigadi was a lot bigger in the novels. The northern kingdoms all collectively summoned their entire army and were tracking Badigadi as he approached the school at insane speed. They also asked the Adventurers Guild for all S-rank adventurers help. The principal of the school, a Wind King named George, asked Rudeus to stall Badigadi for as long as he could, until the army could arrive and surround Badigadi. Nobody was expecting Rudeus to win; Just stall for time. In the novels Badigadi does vaguely remember Man-God. For some reason it was a change the Anime made to have him say he doesn't know. Most likely this was done so they they could skip the entire conversation (very weird decision, it was a very important conversation). When Rudeus asks about Man God, Badigadi actually replies with: _"I can’t say! I think I’ve heard the name before, but I can’t recall where! It’s been a few centuries since anyone spoke of him to me, at the very least.”_ The spell Rudeus used to beat Badigadi was Rudeus strongest spell yet. The Anime skipped this conversation, but Badigadi brings up later on that Rudeus Stone Canon was as strong as Emperor magic (second strongest tier). Because only attacks of at least King rank can deal damage to Badigadi, and yet Badigadis entire torso was blown off. Normally the spell "Stone Canon" is just a Intermediate spell. But Rudeus has refined it so much that it has the power of an Emperor tier spell. Basic -> Intermediate -> Advanced -> Saint -> King -> Emperor/Imperial -> God/Divine In the novels, his blown off torso was more pronounced than in the Anime. The Anime, probably due to censorship, didn't actually show Badigadi's torso completely blown off. It only showed his legs, and then immediately skips ahead to when Badigadi revives himself in a smaller state. This could be hard to understand as an Anime only. But basically, Badigadi's immortality is more of a form of "resurrection". Think of like Deadpool from Marvel, getting his hand cut-off and then it reforming as a babies hand. Something similar to that. During that skipped discussion, Badigadi brings up why people like Paul, Eris and himself are so durable and strong. It's because of something called "Battle Aura". A coat of Mana that strengthens them. This is why only King level attacks could hurt Badigadi. His "Battle Aura" is so strong that you'd need King-level attacks (attacks from Ghislaine, for example) to pierce his invisible armor. Later on, Rudeus tries to learn this with help from Badigadi, but apparently has no skill at it and cannot produce the aura. Badigadi mentions that Laplace also couldn't use Battle Aura, but was nonetheless insanely strong because of how much mana he had. Badigadi mentions that he has a nephew who is too focused on making a name for himself, that he doesn't live in the moment enough. This nephew isn't given a name, but it is foreshadowing.

[@zacharyfewins8087]

I didn’t even remember that they foreshadowed that.

[@aanrrat1354]

Skipping the talk about the man God makes sense, as Badigadi is lying in both instances. Saying I don't know anything as opposed to I guess i kinda know but not really is more or less equivalent. As for giving Rudy's attack a title it's skippable because the attack's strength speaks for itself. The anime in general tends to skip details that establish plot points that are far faar into the future, in favor of maintaining the pacing. For example the ranking system is heavily underused in the anime because it's a lot less important for establishing the fights of the first books. Raking only becomes a major plot point after turning point 4 so we won't be hearing about it for awhile, the sistem is still there, it's what the fights are based around but they won't come to the foreground for awhile. This is part of why Mushoku Tensei has such a wonderful adaptation, it focuses on keeping the feel of the constant progression that the book gives without boring the audience with copious details that would seem far more stilted and slow in anime form.

[@visoth7791]

@@aanrrat1354 Skipping crucial details such as Battle Aura, world building, powerscaling, and foreshadowing, for the sake of pacing, and yet we still get a rushed outcome with Badigadi appearing for half an episode and then disappearing for the rest of the season, minus two extremely brief cameos in the second half. The stuff with Badigadi should have been a standalone episode. A full 22 minutes worth of content. Badigadi was far more memorable and important in the novels, because he brought along with himself interesting and important details that the Anime just cut out. Edit: Some examples Badigadi watches as Rudeus trains with a sword. Talks about how Laplace would fight without using Battle Aura, which intrigues Rudeus to ask whether he should copy him. Badigadi says Rudeus' body would explode using mana in that way. We get more scenes in the novels with Soldat, thanks to Badigadi's presence. Skipped Nina fighting Badigadi, and even using the Sword of Light which was just deflected by Badigadi's battle aura. More powerscaling for Rudeus, that a technique from a skilled swordswoman like Nina, couldn't even scratch Badigadi. Skipped. More scenes with Badigadi watching Rudeus practice sword. Now sometimes even being a sparring partner for Rudeus, and offering Rudeus useful tips. Skipped These skipped scenes for the sake of pacing, really make Badigadi seem more like a one and done character. Not a side-character. Not a recurring character. He shows up, fights Rudeus, then leaves. Only showing up twice after for 1 minute scenes. At that point: Why even include him if you're going to cut all the information we got from him from the Anime?

[@ferroishere1103]

for context, the only people who can put a "scratch" on badi are people in king class level, cuz of his strong touki (basically a mana armor, where only advance class swordman/ fighter are able to unlock) now imagine how strong rudeus now after he actually blown up an immortal demon king?

[@ramonlrey99com]

ehhh he's not that strong compared to when he uses that ****** because it's considered to be top *** of the world and even ****** said to never challenge ***** ever.

Badi confirm that attack was Emperor level, so Rudeus is technically an emperor-tier earth magician

[@InstanRamen]

You guys have to know that Demon God, Demon Emperor, Demon King are different title. Demon God (Laplace) Demon Emperor (Kishirika Kishirisu) Demon King (Badigadi) For Demon God only one person hold that title at the time. For Demon Emperor and Demon King several Demon hold that title. Its also the same with Dragon race Dragon God (Orsted) Dragon Emperor (Unknown yet) Dragon King (Perugius) eps 6 Also the same with Swordman Title Sword God Style - Sword God (Gal Farion) eps 8 - Sword Emperor - Sword King (Ghislaine) - Sword Saint North God Style - North God (Kalman) eps 18 - North Emperor - North King - North Saint (Gallus Cleaner) eps 14 Water God Style - Water God - Water Emperor - Water King - Water Saint

[@gamergod9182]

Badigadi is not a god. he's a Demon King. while the Demon Kings have somewhat god-like abilities, they are nowhere near as strong as someone of God rank like Orsted.

Depends on the field. Sword emperors stand a pretty good chance against the sword god, cause how else would they become the next sword god. If you’re talking about the races though you’re right. Dragon god is far above a dragon emperor(general in that case) and demon god is far above a demon emperor(be that the original demon god or Laplace, they’re both far above Kishirika).
