The purple attack rudeus hit him with was a basic fireball and the color change was his adding more oxygen molecules making it a lot hotter(up to 7500C) and in the light novel it was stated that if the dragon god didn’t absorb it, it would output the same power as an atom bomb or nuclear explosion

[@Edge-mv3jw]

The chemical reactions that go into it are pretty cool. Except if I’m correct it should have become white around the center. Oxygen typically gives off a blue hue right around the cone of the flames source. An example of this can often be seen and used in things like cutting and plasma torches. Once you reach a hot enough flame, the oxygen manages the heat for you, and turns the flame a white at the hottest area, and then blueish purple.

[@saturntaco4949]

There was so many small details in this episode! When Orsted grabbed Rudeus the first time, he crushed Rudeus’s lungs, which was why he had to use wind magic to breath. And also the bit where he used some kind of earth magic to prop himself up to breath easier. You can really tell that that studio cares about this story!

[@Sabaelos]

Another interesting detail was before Orsted crushed Rudeus's lungs, the demon eye caught up to it but he didnt know where the blood would come out of that's why he searched his body.

[@vogel2499]

Rudeus should've try to separate them with Orsted with earth magic tho. This is the only part where I got confused, his previous battle shown that getting a little bit of space with earth+wind+water magic is his second nature.

[@FirstnameLastname-gs3ow]

@@vogel2499 in other battles he doesn't see his literal death in the one second he can see in the future. The simple answer here was that Rudy froze up. He looked into the future and all he could see was despair so he lost his will to fight in that moment, but Eris trying to summon a fireball made him want to fight again.

[@9308323]

​@@vogel2499 He's basically moving on instinct at that time and he knows he's about to die (his lungs were crushed) so he tried to eliminate Orsted.

[@gelnation3879]

Another interesting concept is that since they explained Orsted's curse about never being serious when fighting, you can see that when he's fighting Ruijerd and how he goes all out while Orsted is just waving his hand.

[@mrwannabe00]

Copied that from Twitter smh

[@dramaking9559]

Alot of Redeus' magic is basically him using his knowledge from his previous world. The stone attacks is the equivalent of him using guns, his amplifying of magic is him just adding basic chemical reaction to make his spells stronger without using too much mana and during the fight against Ostred in the novel its explain that Redues fireball power was the equivalent of an atomic weapon or something like that. Which is many reason i love that this isekai makes sense to be an isekai because the previous world has a major effect

[@jjpark98]

I made that connection too. Him shooting that stone projectile at high speed was basically the equivalent to a modern sniper bullet. That would've killed an ordinary person. Of course Orsted isn't ordinary by any means.

[@friskscipio]

i dont think it was an atomic stuff (it might said that, it has been some time since i read it, so i might be wrong) but a purple like flame is if im correctly the hottest one there is (that isnt an atomic bomb since those actually will burn your retinas if you saw them), it reaches 39400 degrees Celsius

[@Bahatmogan]

@@jjpark98 Not just high speed, but chemical composition as well, as you'll note that the shards hit the ground with an oddly metallic sound, indicating that he likely changed the carbon density to that of a high-grade metal as well.

Rudy made plasma ☠️🔥

[@darthzayexeet3653]

A few hidden details from the light novel: Ruijerd is supposed to be as strong or even stronger than a Sword King (e.g. Ghislaine) and he went practically all-out as well, so Orsted clapping him in 10 seconds without getting hit once is a highly impressive feat. Rudy QnA’d Orsted about the Mana Catastrophe bc of what Paul said (“You should search for family, instead of goofing around”). Also because he wasn’t affected by his curses he didn’t feel any fear or disgust like Rui or Eris. I mean that still doesn’t excuse his terrible situational awareness, but basically he thought he had to ask Orsted about it, because he didn’t want to disappoint Paul again. Rudy said he knew the Man-God Hitogami because he thought Orsted was also an Isekai’d person and maybe he could tell him more about Hitogami. Rudy’s Eye of Foresight could accurately predict what Orsted’s next move would be, so we also never saw any foresight clones like normally. That’s also why he had to close his eye when he first saw him, there where just too many possibilities. The only thing Rudy’s Eye could show him was his death… many, many times and in a lot of different ways. A little bit like Doctor Strange with the Time Stone. Orsted actually crushed Rudy’s Lungs when he first touched him. That’s why he was coughing up blood. Yes, Rudy used Wind Magic to pump Air into his Lungs and force him to breathe. Otherwise his Lungs would’ve collapsed and he’d suffocate/drown in his own blood. Rudy’s Stone Cannon had the maximum hardness, velocity and rotational speed he could give it. He also heated it up to be red hot and fired it, with the same speed as a bullet. When Orsted said Rudy was on par with the Demon God Laplace, he only meant his mana pool. He would absolutely still lose in a real fight with Laplace. Rudy can’t heal his lungs with incantation-less magic because he has very limited knowledge on how wounds are treated. If he had the knowledge of a doctor, he might be able to do it. His healing magic is also very weak compared to his attacking magic. At the end of the fight Rudy created a fireball and infused Oxygen (O2) into it, making it way bigger and hotter. In the LN it is said, that its power was comparable to a nuke. If Orsted hadn’t absorbed it everyone except for him would’ve been incinerated.

[@sensey181]

Thanks, very informative.

[@GaranNoDou298]

Regarding Ruijerd, he is equated to a North Emperor in power.

[@NikukaiFightOn]

interesting, having read the light novels (not web novels) some details are a bit different. For example Rudy never really says anything to the affect of thinking Orsted was an isekai'd person Also he described this particular stone cannon as being one he just shot at at the heat of the moment as a distraction (as opposed to the one he shot at lord Badi where he actually put effort into its kill power) And also it didn't really describe the power of the attack, he just said something to the affect of "huh, i thought it would be more impressive" As i read them i noticed a lot of people said things like this but they weren't in the books i read so i suppose the WN's translations are different, or the LNs are missing info

[@NikukaiFightOn]

course i read the kindle version of the LN's so idk if the actual paper backs have even different translations versus the kindle or web novel

[@GaranNoDou298]

​@@NikukaiFightOn I'm recounting the WN, I haven't read the LN so I'm not exactly sure how strong Rudy is in it. The anime seems to have followed the Web Novel's iteration instead. The WN scene is as follows. "A rock that was as hard as possible, at a velocity that was as fast as possible, with a rotation speed as fast as possible added. I think that rock bullet was at such a high power that it surprised even me. The man and I were at an exceedingly close distance, the rock bullet went flying at a red hot speed. And then it was smashed. The rock fell. After it fell to the ground there was a dinging sound almost as if it was metal. Orsted looked at his own fist. “Just now was that a rock bullet… that was an absurd power. To think this magic could leave a wound on my body…” The skin on the back of Orsted’s hand was coming off."

@@Fax1880 he might thought that its the same case with ruijerd with an unjust fear the first time they met, which is kinda true. Actually everything else would've gone fine if only hitogami said something to rudeus beforehand if in case he encounter orsted. If man-god didn't appear in their convo it would've been fine. This is also a prerequisite for nanahoshi to meet rudeus.

[@whyvern6817]

@@Fax1880 Eh I think it's more that he depends more on Man God, that's why when he was talking with Man God, he said "Why don't you tell me about him". Rudeus seems more than convinced it's going to be safe since everything is going okay and let his guard down. He doesn't feel fear because the curse doesn't affect him and he already knows how it feels to be dead, seems like he is fine if he is dead during that time even though he doesn't want too from how he reacted when the conversation with Man God.

[@c.c.0396]

@@whitefata12 Nah. Look at past episodes. Rudeus simply has no capability to use his brain to read a room. Examples is that, he and Paul would not have been into that fight if he only realized that his Dad physically does not look okay, instead he blabbed shit about how the adventure was great af before even asking how was his dad. Second example, he gave off his staff to a random soldier of a random country he had no idea. The reason? Because Roxy used to work there. Seriously, Rudeus have put himself into dangerous situations wherein he could avoid it if he only used tiny bit of his brain cells. At this point, his brain capacity is not so different with that dumb prince of that shit country. EDIT: He has a tremendous mana, but only uses his eye of foresight when he is already in the midst of danger. You normally use such advantages even before the danger happens, but what does he do? He uses it DURING, hence he always put himself into dangers he could avoid. He's just a fucking idiot. No need to defend the neet MC.

[@Kazryu10]

There are a few reasons in the novel on why Rudy chose to spoke up. First, he was too focused on the girl to notice that Eris & Ruijerd were frozen in fear. Next, the bull suicide scene is anime original so novel Rudy has 1 less clue of impending danger. Following that, Orsted was the one who greeted them first and he is extremely friendly during their banter to Rudy's point of view. The atmosphere in the anime was a blend of both perspectives because Eris/Ruijerd would have felt a much stronger fear/hate pressure while Rudy sees zero animosity. This cause Rudy to be perplexed over why his friends are so on guard. Finally, Rudy felt that Orsted has knowledge about the world so he spoke up.

And btw Rudy was right, Orsted was not going to kill them, he just happened to stumble upon the wrong topic. If he hadn't met the man-god, he could have had a nice conversation about the weather and Orsted wouldn't have killed him. Obviously there's a little bit of Rudy not being able to read the room either, but it's not as big as people make it out to be. The main thing is Rudy doesn't want to base a character off first impressions.

[@LuminousWhispers11]

@@Naccarat If Rudeus hadn't met the Man God, he wouldn't have gotten as far as he did. I would rather be cautious and live then be a Rudeus and nearly die. Even the circumstances are different. He was scared of his associate because of that story that Roxy told him and was told by Man God that he was there to help. His associate even brought them to a fire unharmed. This guy was someone who they were going to pass on their trail but Rudeus completely ignored any warnings from his associate despite being terrified himself and as a result nearly got killed. Survival instincts are inbuilt in animals for a reason. Even if Rudeus was not affected by the curse, he was still warned by one of his friends who were terrified. For all he knows, that could have been a evil or destructive godlike being. X doesn't always equal Y.

In the anime he comes off harsh, but Rudeus describes him as soft-spoken and kind in the book. He also talks to them for a while longer than in the anime, so Rudeus drops any guard he had at all. He does get concerned with him, but the more he speaks to him, the more he fails to understand why they're scared. The Ox suicide is also anime-only. They part on a soft note and Rudeus gets jumped after letting his guard down AND getting excited that there might be someone else that is reincarnated.

Rudy hasn’t said a word about the man-god to Eris or Rujerd, the two people he’s closest with and goes and opens his mouth to some random. Smh.

I honestly attributed Rudy not being able to read the room to his personality from his previous life properly carrying over unlike with most isekai's. He was an anti-social shut in so it makes sense he wouldn't be able to feel the overwhelming tension in the room, plus he didn't feel any of the fear that Ruijerd and Eris were feeling. So at least for this incident I can't really get annoyed at him like I would at other times, plus he basically died for it, paying the ultimate price and all that.

[@LuminousWhispers11]

It doesn't add up. He was a teen before tragedy struck. Also, he has been a few life and death situations before this happened. Namely, the kidnapping and those adventurers who were killed on his watch.

[@izanagi1541]

@@LuminousWhispers11 You have to admit though the life or death situations he's been in before this have been kind of different on comparison to this one. As far as I remember whenever he has needed to fight it has almost always been instant violence, and having a sword swung at you is different from just feeling fear. Plus we don't really know much about his life before the incident that turned him into a shut in, he could've been alone for a lot longer. Regardless the real reason was explained so it's not really a debate anymore but I see your point though.

[@LuminousWhispers11]

@最後の神Izanagi I am glad to see someone who is open minded rather than just constantly saying "he isn't affected by the curse". An example was that kidnapping ultimately. He took forever to realize that it was a real kidnapping even after Eris was brutally beaten to the point that blood and teeth came out of her mouth. He even took the opportunity to play with Eris's life for personal gain like he did those adventurers he decided to wait against Ruijerd's warnings. After him and Eris nearly died after the kidnapping that he recommended was over and after those adventurers got killed after he decided to wait to interfere, he was left speechless both times. The reason I hate the main character is because he is ultimately self centered and willing to play with others lives to get what he wants. To be honest, I seen his past life and that cemented my hatred of the main character. From actively pushing people who were trying to help him away to watching his niece in the bathroom while beating to actively being pervert from the moment he was born in the new world. This is keeping in mind that his bullying consisted of him being hung up naked and naked pictures of him being taken and distributed. Yet, you have him literally stealing Roxy's panties. In the beginning of the anime, he also pansted Slypy against her will, he took it as the wrong thing to do only after finding out that she was a girl. Paul even explains the thing that even a kid would know not to do, boiling down to "she said no". Not going to say that he was always self centered but, I wouldn't be shocked. The dude literally lived off his family for years and didn't even go to his parents' funeral.

[@georgeosorio5815]

BTW! I don't know if you guys noticed but when he tried to use the demon eye on him he was looking blurry. The reason being he is so fast he couldn't predict what he was going to do. When Dragon God comes closer to him and Rudy sees blood and touches his face is because in a second he saw 5 different futures. Orsted crushing his heart, Orsted crushing his lungs, Orsted crushing his throat, Orsted crushing his head.

The reason that all these isekai have a character named Laplace is because of Laplace's Demon. It was a thought experiment on how entropy could theoretically be violated by a zero-cost filter that could sort high energy particles from low energy particles through two chambers. The "demon" mans the gate that sends lower energy particles to one side, and higher energy particles to the other.

Doesn't mean she won't be pissed. Even I was pissed because this is not the first time Rudeus acted without using his dumbass brain. He always acted first before assessing the situation. Literally he can topple that dumb prince on his own, but his too dumb to even NOT give his staff on a random person just because they said "Roxy was there". What did he do? Gave off his staff, overly-enthusiastic- and ended up his ass in an anti-magic cell. Most anime protagonists are socially awkward, but not all are as dumb as Rudeus.

[@LuminousWhispers11]

@@drp7751 There was a case where people died as a result of Rudeus's decision to wait to help. Remember when they went on a quest to kill a monster? Rudeus was left speechless. Ruijerd was pissed. Way before that he recommended a kidnapping to get Eris to respect magic and they both nearly died as a result and he was left speechless that time too. He still thought that they were acting even seeing how brutally Eris was beaten. Rudeus is not someone you want to have making decisions in life and death situations. People mention the curse but, Rudeus wouldn't have that knowledge. Meaning that he clearly went against Ruijerd's order to stand still then talked to the person and nearly died as a result. Paul was heavily drinking and was in foreign land. Many people would have questioned why but Rudeus never did. He is most definitely worse at reading the room than the average anime protagonist. Of course, I would describe him as more self centered and dangerously naive to be honest. He even jokes that the person is terrifying himself, he has no danger instinct at all.

[@hashbrownsdraws]

Side info, Orsted is Dragon-folk, so he's not actually a dragon, sorta like how Ghyslaine isn't actually a cat, and Laplace is the Demon God that was killed by the Armored Dragon King, Perugius (the guy with the flying castle from season 1 part 1, and he's the guy who sent Almanfi the Radiant to investigate the mana disaster) 400 years prior to the story during the Human-Demon War. Also, Laplace was the guy that betrayed Ruijerd and the Superd. Just some lore that the anime left out from part 1.
