    Episode Title: Parents

    Rudy lost his left hand

    Another thing i would like to point out, where pauls body landed. From his PoV when rudy approached him, in those last few moments. He saw his son, alive and well before him and the crystal cracking that was holding his wife. He saw that he accomplished what he set out to do and got his family back together, imo that was that smile. Paul accomplished his final mission AND got to see that it was done.

      Someone pointed out there’s a radio drama on CD that has Paul’s last thoughts. Here’s a copy I found:
      My vision has turned completely dark. I can’t breathe… can’t talk either. Am I dying?
      At least… I wanted to confirm whether Zenith is alive or not.
      Not only that… Norn and Aisha. I wanted to see them again… Are they going to school…? Have they grown up…?
      Lilia… what kind of face of face will she make? Even if it’s only troublesome… will she cry?
      God damn it… I’m filled with regrets… I don’t want to die…
      Still… there are… so many things… I wanted to do…
      But… oh well…
      It’s better than Rudy dying…
      Stay positive…

      No, he doesn’t love Zenith more than Rudy. He was mad because he didn’t understand why Rudy was so calm. He outright said this when he asked Rudy why he was so calm. *Rudy* might think Paul loves Zenith more than him, but he doesn’t. He loves them equally, like any father would. What he said about saving Zenith even if it kills him was more to show his resolve than actually requesting his son to sacrifice himself. It was about _teaching_ Rudy what family does for family. If the situation was reversed, and _Rudy_ was the one in the crystal, he knows Zenith would do the same thing for Rudy as well, and it would go the same as it did here.

    After Rudeus got over Eris in ep2 on s2, he named his right & left thigh with Tindalos and Baskerville (shown after his morning running session), and his right & left arm with Hulk and Heracles (shown after his push-up session). In the myth, Heracles got bitten by the hydra. So author foreshadowed this and let Rudeus' left arm lost to Hydra, and then...

    This scene hit me so hard in the LN, and seeing it animated hit even harder.
    Rudy loses an arm -> Let's be positive that it's just an arm and hydra has been killed -> Paul gets chomped in half -> F&ck, they had to double down but let's still have a bit of optimism that at least we were able to save Zenith -> Zenith has either severe dementia or amnesia -> Goddamn they really had to hurt me thrice!?

    It was important for them to bring up how rudy felt about zenith, not for that in itself but for what they didn't say. How MUCH rudy cared about paul and how much he bonded with him. He understands paul so much, and paul genuinely loves and respects rudy WAY more than anyone could understand (unless you read the LN but paul fucking truely holds rudy on a pedestal). He was the one parent in this world that rudy truely formed a parental connection to, even if it was awkward and a bit differnt than the usual case. And at the end of the episode, when his only remaining pillar of a parent isn't in a state for him to start to form that same bond with after just losing it. This shit was HEAVY.

    8:29 so in the LN, Rudeus has actually been saying the spell names ever since they got teleported to the Demon Continent. He specifically does this when fighting in a group to give his allies heads up that there's a spell coming from his direction, as he did here and in the last episode. Last thing he wants is to have one of his Emperor-tier Stone Cannons going straight through one of his allies. Rudeus would actually be an absolute fucking menace if he didn't care about people's lives or collateral damage. The only time so far that he's actually tried to use his magic to its fullest extent was when he tried to nuke Orsted in TP2 - if Orsted hadn't used Front Wyrmgate to suck the mana into it, it likely would've removed the whole mountain they were on (in the LN, the spell actually ends up causing a small explosion in front of Orsted when the Wyrmgate breaks because it couldn't reduce the power any further).

    Paul realized during the fight that his conversations with Rudy before entering the labyrinth that he has so many things he regret that he can never go back and set things straight especially with Rudeus. In his small time bonding with him even in danger he really appreciated that. Paul realized what he said to Rudy as his last words was wrong, Rudy's only child to grow without ever knowing him.
    Paul can be hot-headed and irrational during the heat of battle, but when he saw his son in danger he didn't hesitate and shielded his son from the Hydra's direct hit. That's why he smiled at his final breath when he saw Rudy is alive - he finally was able to be a father to him.

    The Man God warned Rudy not to go because I assume Paul's fate would result in death regardless of whether he went or not, but had Rudy not gone, Roxy would have also died, and its very likely so would Geese and Talhand, and the Mother wouldn't have been saved. So while Rudy going against the Man God's warning resulted in much emotional damage and the loss of a hand, it was still the result that had the least casualties. I suspect the Man God's advise is merely him seeing one possible future and giving a clue on how Rudy can get to that path, but time and time again Rudy always does things differently than how the Man God envisioned it, like the whole cat situation in the Demon Continent, Rudy went off script from what the Man God thought would happen. So the full reasoning of why the Man God told him not to go, im not sure of, it could be that he tried to spare Rudy the experience of his father's death, or that the path he saw lead to them all dying, the advise was definitely vague.

    Actually if Rudy doesn't go, imagine Roxy probably would die and even Paul's rescue team made it to the boss room, Paul would act same even without knowing how to beat the Hydra and prolly dies to attacking without any particular plan, so I don't convince that Rudy going Begaritt is wrong.

  • @hhjan594
    @hhjan594 9 днів тому +6

    Well the author actually told us in a QA session what will happen if Rudeus decided to not go to Begaritt in TP3.
    This is a hypothetical timeline that doesn't happen in the story, so it's quite debatable if this is considered spoilers, but I will leave spoilers space regardless. I do believe what I'm saying here should spoil nothing about what the story is going to offer in the future, as this is just a timeline that never happens, so I think Zack you are safe to read.
    Basically the author confirmed that if Rudeus didn't go, Roxy will die in the labyrinth because nobody was to rescue her. Without Rudy and Roxy (Elinalise will go regardless of Rudy's decision) in the team, also they don't have the teleportation labyrinth book that Rudy brought, Paul's team will proceed very difficultly, and end up the whole team collapsing due to either people giving up and leaving the team or simply get wiped and killed in the labyrinth. Of course Paul will never give up saving his wife so he dies there. Zenith will only get saved in another couple decades or even hundreds years later when there's an adventurer team strong enough to conquer the labyrinth, and even if Zenith doesn't have any issues with her mind, she will wake up in a time where nobody she knows remain anymore.

    If Rudy didn't go to save Zenith we can be sure that Roxy would be dead instead. That is probably what the Man-God meant by you will regret it eather way. He basically could only save one person. Roxy or Paul. His mother being like that and probably never will be the same as before is crazy.. This episode was on another level.

    Rudeus has some mental block when it comes to crying, I believe the first time he ever cried in the new world was when he was 12 and Eris left him, after that, I'm not sure if he did since despite all kinds of things that happened. He's grieving in his own way for now.

    I'll mention a couple things, but will hold off on Rudy's thoughts in regard to Paul's death and so on since they might cover it next episode (similar to with Roxy's time in the labyrinth). When Paul was young he had a bad relationship with his father but was very close to his mother. She was a bit sickly though but would come to visit him in his room every day, which was said to have contributed to her health's decline until she finally passed away, and his father blamed Paul for her death because of this. Paul was extremely hurt by the loss of his mother and that's why he's so adamant that Rudy do whatever it takes to save Zenith, because Paul didn't want Rudy to experience what it was like to lose his mother and feel like it was his fault she died.
    Also they had to cremate Paul since burying him would likely make him return as an undead skeleton, and while Rudy had wanted to bring his body back it was not practical as it would be a 3 day trip back to the surface and they were already bringing back an unconscious Zenith. Also a number of magical items fell out of those mana crystals along with Zenith, but the party wasn't all that concerned with them at the time. As one of the hydra's heads was a bit wider than the rest Rudy was concerned that head was immortal like in the Greek Myth of the hydra, and was relieved when it turned out not to be. Also when thinking about Paul's chastising of him for not caring for his mother, Rudy thought that while she was more of someone he lived with, once he heard her voice it would all come back and he'd see her as his mother again, making the end far more tragic.

  • @kyrie980

    The Man-god said that whether Rudy go or not go he still gonna regret it
    Rudy go to Begaritt : Paul lose his life, Zenith in vegetative state
    Rudy didn't go to Begaritt : Roxy will be the one who died, and Paul didn't die but he never manage to save or even saw Zenith (from this episode we know that one thing Paul wants is certainty about the fate of his family. He would rather find Zenith dead other than continue to think about Zenith's unclear fate)
    I think the worse regret would be if Rudy didn't go to Bergaritt

    “The Man God warned Rudy not to go”
    Did he though? Now, this isn’t a spoiler, but more of a personal opinion based on what has happened so far. I think his ‘warning’ wasn’t really a warning, but a threat(after all, “you’ll regret it” can also be a threat). The reason I think this is because of what happened with Roxy. She was *SECONDS* away from dying, until Rudy showed up to save her. And the only reason he made it in time is because he brought that book with him that made their trip down to that level much faster, _and_ because he sensed her when he was close and rushed to her aid, when *no one else* could sense her. So if he didn’t go, Roxy would’ve *definitely* died. And with Roxy dead, the party would be down a member. Three, if you count Rudy and Elinalise, since Rudy was the reason Elinalise made it there as quickly as she did And with less members, they wouldn’t have stood a chance against the hydra, considering they were _barely_ able to beat it _with_ Rudy, Roxy, and Elinalise, not to mention the fact that it would’ve taken longer to find their way to that chamber in the first place, _if_ they found it at all(because remember, the only reason they even found the hidden staircase is because *Rudy* recognized the similarity of that room to the teleportation ruins that he used to get there so quickly). So yeah, he would’ve regretted it *far* more if he _didn’t_ go, because the entire party could’ve potentially been wiped out if he didn’t, or they never would’ve found the chamber Zenith was in, in the first place. So the Man God wasn’t warning him, he had telling him not to go for some other reason, and tricking Rudy into thinking it was advice when it wasn’t.

    @MRAXGREYRAT 9 днів тому

    The story between Rudeus and Hitogami is an analogy to the parable of Job and the Christian god - Javhé, since the latter gives him everything a man can want: abundant family, wealth, land, etc. to Job; so that later this will be enough for him all on a "mere whim." If you don't understand what I'm saying it's because later Rudeus will be betrayed by Hitogami and will lose everything he achieved thanks, in part, to Hitogami's advice, including his family and closest friends.
    In short, this is one of the many biblical references in Mushoku tensei.
    This arch also refers to the epic of the Odyssey by the author Homer the Aeda. Above all, it will be more noticeable when Rudeus recovers from the emotional shock and feels the urge to return home (Ithaca) to see if his wife and son are okay, but before getting there the long journey will be unbearable due to the constant stress and tension that Rudeus will have to think that what happened to him is not the worst that can happen to him, but that it can get even worse 💀. Finally, it's just PeakTensei lecturing any isekai that only remains generic and pretentious in front of it.

  • @Heppoko_
    @Heppoko_ 9 днів тому

    Remember when Zach was checking out the spring anime and I commented, "I think it will again dusturb Zach's mind?".
    When the second season of "MushokuTensei" was announced, I worked backwards from the original episode and came to a conclusion.
    I concluded that this episode would probably be the one right before the climax.
    From then until now, I have not been able to comment on the reaction video.
    I can finally share this sentiment with Zach.
    Welcome to this side.
    This one is thoroughly devoid of the convenient plot twists and turns that are common in Isekai anime.
    I don't mean to put down other Isekai anime, but in many Isekai anime, Rudeus' left hand would have only been broken and Paul would have celebrated his victory by laughing with Rudeus, saying something like, "It hurts from the hard hit all over".
    But that cannot happen in this work.
    The author's pen name is "Rifujin na Magonote".
    Rifujin = Unreasonable
    Magonote = Backscratcher(Scratch-back)
    You may have learned the meaning of Rifujin in this episode.
    By the way, the original author is Tappei Nagatsuki of "Re:Zero," Natsume Akatsuki of "Konosuba," Kugane Maruyama of "Overlord," and Carlo Zen of "The Saga of Tanya the Evil," all of whom contributed their novels to the Web at about the same time.
    They were very close, creating a joint chat room to discuss various novel developments, showing each other illustrations of their novels when they arrived, and giving away new books when they arrived.
    Therefore, "Konosuba" is a little different in comedy, but the overall atmosphere is similar in its bleakness, don't you think?
    Finally, once again, Paul was a great father, although he showed many no-no's.

Also, Orsted seems to have a beef with the man god based on how he reacted in the last season, I'd suspect the man god isn't exactly keeping the best outcome for Rudy in mind, but rather looking for some personal gain.

    Stay at home with Sylphy and the baby but Norn would hate him for abandoning their parents and he would lose Roxy but have a child with one of the cat/dog girls.
    Go save mom, and Roxy but lose dad and mom. (And technically his arm too but he did say that spell doesn't heal what is lost, meaning there is a spell that can give him a new arm).
    Plus even if he stayed home he would still lose his parents because I doubt Paul would do anything different if it meant saving Zenith.
    Only question then, is who does Paul die for in that timeline?
