The subtle references between Norn and Rudy and the way Paul and Zenith acted in the cheating incident was on point. Norn using Zenith's tone to tell rudy to stfu. Rudy hitting that "huh" the same way paul did. Norn getting mad a Rudy in the sword training because she was mad (just like Paul against Rudy that time) and finally Norn getting talked into it with facts and logic like Zenith was. Truly phenomenal
I also like that Sylphy does say something along the lines of how she expected Rudy to at some point sleep with another woman. Because he is perverted etc. She kind of says this more in an an endearing and honest way. Just like the anime but that would not explain the second wife part any man could sleep with another woman. But Sylphy says something along the line of but Rudy is also honerable or I forget the exact word to lazy to go check. Like Rudy is committed or duty bound, etc... so she knew that Rudy would not just like pump and dumb... lol Rudy would do the "right" thing and take on a second wife. I kind of like that. She understands the man she loves for all his pros and cons and everything in between. lol
wouldn't blame her at all, he's lucky she loves him enough to pull this shit and that Roxy was the one he brought home because if it was Nanahoshi he brought home she would have left him in heartbeat because she hates that girl
@@MrArrmageddon I recall Sylphie said that Rudy is a very responsible man and will want to marry any woman he has sex with because that's what happened to her, so she fully expected Rudy to somehow "accidentally" have sex with some other woman when she couldn't offer it, and therefore bring that woman home as a second wife.
@@hhjan594 yes I think responsible was the word. It may have been Honorable? Same difference. But yes how you describe it was what I was talking about and it makes sense.
Or Sylphie is just like Roxy. Back in Ranoa Univ, when first meeting Rudy during the duel, Sylphie thought Elinalise was Rudy's lover. She got hopeful about being 2nd.
She did expect Roxy to be someone larger than life and superhuman. Rudeus keeps praising her every chance he gets, and he's been doing that since he was five years old.
Re-watching. Anyway, no one mentioned it, so I'll explain. In that world mana can cause dead bodies to reanimate as zombies (skeletons can get reanimated too). That's why people always cremate dead bodies, and if possible crush the bones. This goes both for dead humans, and monsters you kill. At least in human settlements they seem to have combined creation and grave sties (author really doesn't go into detail about that).
How Sylphie heard about Roxy: Wherever Rudy went, he tells everyone about how awesome his master Roxy is. Even people in demon continent has heard. Now, because Rudy is an excellent mage, people expect Roxy to be even greater and use voiceless incantation as well.
Well, lets not forget Luke (a Greyrat) is one of Sylphie's best friends (and he is a terrible womanizer. Pump and dump style). She knew full well the Greyrat's reputation... And honestly, compared to Luke, Rudeus is pretty tame. At least, he marries the girls he loves, haha...
They all know who Roxy is. Norn and Aisha met her when she showed up to tell Paul where Zenith was and she was also there when they were discussing if they should send the girls with Ruijerd to Rudeus or not
I just love how japanese VAs pour all of their hearts on the stage man, Norn VA almost made cry every time I hear her cry for his dad. At least for me is wild to get emotional over fictional characters but their voices make it too real.
“It crazy how much this feels like this could kinda serve as the ending of the show but obviously it’s not going to be.” They did end this season in that way but oh boy, the REAL story is about to begin next season, can’t wait!
I guess the main dangling story arcs are: (1) Nanahoshi's plans and why she and Rudy got here in the first place, and how it relates to the conflict between the Man-God and Orsted, and any teleport related stuff, and who Nanahoshi's other mysterious friend she mentioned is (2) Zenith's recovery, should it happen (3) Princess Ariel's battle to take over Asura Kingdom, and whether it draws in Sylphie and Rudy (4) the looming conflict between rival factions of the Millis church, which we saw in the Eris the Goblin Hunter episode that introduced Cliff and the rival religious heir, the little girl Eris saved, which could easily draw in Rudy, Cliff, and Elinalise (5) the fate of Eris and Ghislane, possibly tied into the succession conflict between Greyrat nobility, some of whom are involved on both sides of the conflict with Ariel (6) the motivations of Pergius and crew up in the Flying Fortress and, as they are foes of the old demon emperor Laplace, anything to do with him (esp. as people have said Rudy is the only one with similar mana levels). (7) the golem research and its implications, and who the person behind it was. Will they make Rudy a bionic golem-arm?
22:25 Sylphie was expecting someone among Pursena, Linia, and Nanahoshi, as she added in her dialogue in the LN, while she's been feeling that jealousy even before she and Rudy got married. Saying that they had big badonkas and sexy bodies so she was quite worried about it due to how close they are to Rudy, especially when she got pregnant since she knew she couldn't please her husband till then. I'm pretty sure she simulated a scene like this in her head multiple times, given how calm she was lmao.
I can't believe OtakuSpirit got mentioned. Man really has become a pillar in the fandom. Also, thank you man for reacting to this. The journey has been one of the best in the channel. Mushoku Tensei is a series that deserves to be adapted properly and fully, all 4 seasons. Season 3 is already in production so I can't wait. Will you ever make a video essay for this like Steinsgate and Dark?
Im gonna say this. Mushoku tensei is the onlly anime with a Harem that I can get behind. When you see harems in anime 99 times out of a 100 its pure wishfullfilment and tackle in a juvenile way. The girls love him MC becouse god say so, they love him becouse he is the onlly guy who is nice to them for some reason, they love the him becouse he has a dick that cud make a horse blush, you get the idea. Not Mushoku tensei. Hear It was presented with maturity and in a surprisinglly tactfull way every acction has consecuences and even if you can't condone their actions you can see where they are coming from. It dosn't try to justify it but rather show you the context behind it and comits to it whether you are on board or not. You can see how Rudeus Sylphie and Roxy are trying to deal with a messy situation the best they can. And even tho Sylphie accepted Roxy its onlly natural that she have reservations and conflicted feelings about her. Roxy to, she fells to guilty about what she did and dosn't quite feel like part of the familly jet, she sees herself more as a mistress than a propper wiffe. The onlly reason this cud work its boucouse of Sylphie. Blesed be the godess of love ❤
I think one of the most memorable things about the visit to Paul's grave is that Rudeus finally admits he is just a kid pretending to be an adult. And I mean, he IS 16-17 yo at this point after all, and most of his life experience in the previous world doesn't apply at all to life in the "six sided" world (a much more brutal, rustic world with different customs and morals).
После школы он просто заперся в комнате на 16 лет (до 34 лет). Так что его изначальный ментальный возраст - старшеклассник. Сейчас он просто догнал этот возраст физически.
2 wives down, just the husband left to go Just a quick one, I thoroughly enjoy your reactions. Tyvm for going through the efforts of providing us with this content, see you next season 🙏
They didn't really show that much but Rudy really keeps on yapping about Roxy whenever there's opportunity which made Sylphie a bit jealous sometimes but also she has the thought of "i wonder what she looks like" and "i wanna meet that person Rudy looks up to". I mean I think everybody knows already but Sylphie is just a Goddess 😂
If anyones curious about what Rudeus says during the season 3 announcement: (slight spoiler warning more of a teaser though) "To protect my newfound precious things...I'm going to fight the impossible"
Brilliant and heart-felt ending to the season. Enjoyed your reaction. Rudy's works to Norn about carrying a sword in the heart were what Paul said to Rudy when giving him a sword on his 5th birthday.
16:05 nah nah, I completely blame her on this. That was her fault for leaving her position and putting Rudeus in a vulnerable spot. Had she paid more attention, there wouldn't even be any casualty
Also just wanted to thank you for your videos ❤ always fun watching your reactions. I used to watch your "sony" videos 😄 i dont even know if you even still do game videos haha
Haha awesome to hear! Yeah the gaming channel continues to prove a challenge for me. I really don't know if/what to do with it atm. Too few games I currently feel I still care about coming out. But maybe I'll find a better use for it still at some point!
2:45 she definitely did take advantage of him, but it's just that the whole situation was messier than what the anime shows 4:06 there's 26 volumes, yes, but there's also probably going to be 3 volumes of Redundancy that take place after (2 have already been released, the first is supposed to have its EN translation release in November), and we're still waiting for Jobless Oblige and Old Dragon's Tale to get the WN to LN treatment. Of course I don't recommend looking them up yet since spoilers obviously. Also Rifujin says he'll start the planned sequel when the anime catches up with the main story. 17:40 they had introductions when the group arrives at the house. Sylphy recognizes Roxy's name and tells her that Rudeus talks about her a lot. There was also a bit from Geese saying "senpai" (Rudeus) was lucky to have a cute wife like Sylphy, and also starts some banter with Elinalise about how Sylphy would be perfect if not for her "slutty granny."
Why only start the sequel when the anime catches up? That seems like a really bad decision, it only delays the anime for the sequel as well as not letting the sequel ride on the publicity for the anime.
@@84C4 Rifujin wrote the entirety of the original MT WN in under 3 years. The production for the anime has pretty much taken twice as long as that, and it's only close to being halfway to the end. Besides, if he's only waiting for the anime to catch up with the main story, Redundancy could make up a season of content by itself to pad things out a bit. I'd also love to see Jobless Oblige get a movie, since it's about one of the best characters. Also, hopefully Old Dragon's Tale gets one as well. Plus, I hope he goes back to Subjugation of the Emperor Dragon King (which he wrote before MT, but started to establish the world with it) and fixes the stuff that's no longer canon and gives it an LN as well.
@@uihirasawa843 I get what you're saying, but the WN isn't the finished product, he then tends to revise and polish things for the LN. I'm guessing this time around there won't be a WN so he can go directly to LN sales and there's a slower cycle for that. I don't see what's the benefit in waiting. Maybe he wants to see the general audience's reaction to MK first? Idk.
@@84C4 The WN might not have been the finished product at first, but the later parts of the WN are actually very close to the LN. Volume 26 of the LN is almost 1:1 with the WN, with the only additions being a couple extra character POV's. I think he had an agreement with the publisher to go straight to LN for further installments to the series, so yeah it should like you suggested, but the LN was also released over the course of 8 years, while it's been about 8 years since the first season went into production. I don't doubt he'll be putting out books fast enough so that an anime won't outpace it. I just hope Rifujin is using this time to properly work out how the story is going to go. Besides, he currently has another series, called Orc Eroica (not connected to MT), which is currently ongoing.
Ohhhh, im a LN reader but didnt notice that 😅 Zenith = Sylphie (reliable mother figure) Elinalise = Roxy (older than Rudy/Paul) Gyslane = Eris (Stronger than Rudy/Paul in the sword)
With cremation it’s entirely up to the family, for example my nanna's ashes are in an urn and my mom has that while my brothers dads ashes are in an urn but then berried in a cemetery with a plaque where they were buried Some people also have their ashes scattered in a place that had meaning to them, a mate of mine died in a car accident and his ashes were scattered into the ocean off the fishing boat he worked on
the reason he didnt introduces Roxy background to Sylphie is that, there wasnt need to...he always talks about Roxy when it comes to magic to Sylphie, to the point Sylphie is silently jealous to her as a magician, until they finally met
I can honestly understand Norn s feeling about it. Like she was waiting for him while being pregnant acting unrespectful to her. In that scene where they switched to their reaction she was really looking at him like:you are so f***king lucky to have her you pig. I m sure that all of this pain and harship really brought him to be a lot more serious with his life and his surrounding not only respecting Paul as a father but also wanting to take care of his kinds and family. Can't wait for season 3.
The reason Norn blew up at Rudy so hard was because Zenith raised her to be a follower of the Milis faith, so she does not condone polygamy that is why she was so mad at Rudy for cheating and wanting a second wife, but i like how everyone reminded her how much of a hypocrite she was for being mad because Paul also was a cheater and had a second wife in the form of Lilia. she idolized her dad even though he was a cheater, so it makes no sense for her to get mad Rudy. if she really despised Rudy for being a cheater, she would have to despise her dad to and hate Aisha's existence for being a product of his cheating which she doesn't.
nah. Norn was only with Zenith for like 3 years, then Norn stayed with Zenith's family for a while and that's where she became a believer, but not by much really. But after Rudeus left for begarrit Norn found comfort on the faith
@@84C4 yea but it mentioned in the Novel that Zenith is Also a Millis believer and while she loves her grandsons, she hopes they won't be like Rudy and have a harem so i do think there is some influence from on Norn even if its mostly from her grandmother
@@undeade.t7044 Sure, but I don't think Zenith would raise her to be this dogmatic about it when she's in a harem herself and it would reflect poorly on Lilia and Aisha. That's just my assumption, the fact is that she wasn't given the change to raise Norn in one way or another.
@@undeade.t7044 From what we know (combining with spoilers content that I shall not go into) Zenith isn't really such a hardcore follower of Millis, or else she would never had allowed Lilia to stay and even have Paul to actually marry Lilia as a second wife. She still considers the happiness of her family over her religious beliefs. Considering Norn was only with her mother up to three years old, it's way more possible that Norn's grandmother (Which is known to be one of the huge Nobel families in Millis Church. Zenith pretty much ran away from her home to marry Paul) input all the Millis belief into her, as it was mentioned that Paul did ask Zenith's family to take care of Norn when he's on missions.
17:34 They skipped the introductions, When the team arrived all of them introduced themselves to Sylphie, and ofc Sylphie reacted like "Roxy! as in the master Roxy Rudy respect so much!?" I think he did the right thing, asking what he wants from the beginning instead of manipulating his way into making it more acceptable first. Also, I guess this is a change from the anime, but in the LN Sylphie panicked when he kneeled, was confused the entire time and that's why it took so long for her to say anything, she didn't even think about the possibility of Rudeus getting laid from all the caos he went through and even thought that Rudeus possibly might divorce her. 26:57 We are lucky it was a girl because if it wasn't Rudeus was going to name him "Paul" 32:08 Well this is the ending of the adolescence period, was coming is the last period (Adult Period) and with this arc we finally are done with the teleportation incident, so we can say that the first major plotline has concluded.
Am I the only one who's starting to feel like the Man-God saying "If you go to Begaritt, you'll regret it" might have been more of a threat than advice? As in "I'll make you regret it"? Nothing really happened to make him regret going, so why was the Man-God so sure that he would?
Mushoku tensei LN spoiler..... ..... ....... ....... ......... ......... That man god was so tough that he was just stopping Rudy from meeting Roxy because Roxy and Rudy's child will kill Hitogami in the future
@@dallama2616 we need Paul Gaiden OVA, they have the PERFECT chance for that Explaining Paul's origins and how he ran from his house after... welp, something...
To answer one of your questions. The story of Mushoku Tensei is the life story of Rudeus. I can't wait till his story is over and we get to the actual main story which has been hinted at during the beast continent arc. Also Aisha's arc and what kind of stuff is going to happen the LN readers know. That should be fun and interesting to watch how they handle that.
imo the changes from the LN to anime were great, the author of MT is working closely with the anime studio after all, the changes shifted the blame from the circumstances of the situation (Rudy is close to death so Roxy must save him, Elinalise manipulating Rudy into marrying Roxy, etc) to the characters highlighting their values/flaws even further (Roxy's selfish side/ulterior motives, Rudy's intention to make Roxy happy instead of being forced by pregnancy and/or Rudy's selfish intentions to have a harem)
"The ONLY person who's words we should be hearing are Sylphies" Exactly, ugh I can't stand that part.. How are you going to let a 10 year old tell you to shut up and not at LEAST scold them or tell them to leave the room the adults are speaking, they shouldn't even have been in the room for the conversation.
I think my favorite part of the episode is the end with the current greyrat family is that they are standing similar to how they are for the cover of LN 13
Silphy expected Nanahoshi to be the second wife She and Rudeus both speak the same language, like the same foods and Nanahoshi goes to their house from time to time to use the large bath they have Of course, those are japanese quirks, but from Silphy's point of view they are unusually close, so she was ready to accept poligamy In the novels the ManGod showed up to explain "the regret" Had Rudeus not gone to begarit, Gisu would have convinced a beastman adventurer to join them on the dungeon delve, and that man would have found Roxy, she would have developed a crush on him and travel together, but would have eventually gotten rejected Without Rudeus, Paul and his team would have taken two years to beat the labyrinth, but no one would have died
What's with all the emptiness?! Hmm it's a literal mansion that only 2 sometime 3 (ie Norn) people were living in. A giant house with tens (possibly hundreds) of rooms and only 2-3 people having been living there while Rudeus was gone for a few months...hmm I wonder why some of those rooms are empty.
S2 cover Vol 7-12 so it cover 6 vol. And now all the volume been covered is 12 vol and we have 26 vol. So that mean 14 vol left. Which mean 3 more season. The last season maybe only have 12 eps
4 seasons if they continue to cut a lot out of the books, 5 seasons if they take their time and keep more in. Which is possible, there's a LOT of prime content to use, especially as it comes to a climax in volumes 22-25. Norns hangup over Roxy came from the fact Zenith (and her family, both Born and Aisha visited Zeniths family in the interim between going back to Paul and Laul sending them to Rudy) brought Norn up in the Millis faith like Zenith.
Thanks for not going to hard on Norn. I would act the same way as an 10-12 year old girl. I forget her exact age but I think shes 11-12 at this point? Maybe 13 but I don't think so. Even if I was not part of some religion that's a fairly natural reaction for a young woman who likely is just coming terms with the fact she will marry one day. What she wants and expects from her relationship. How she sees her brother. Her putting herself into Sylphys shoes. It's selfish but children are kind of selfish but it's also not selfish in it's own way. Not to mention it's not like her mind was in a great place at this moment. Norn's one of the most relatable and best written characters in the whole Light Novel.
Mushoku is the only anime that i love all the heroine,Even sylphie. Usually in other anime, I don't like that type of character. But the author can make me like Sylphie too
Anime cut and left out a lot of things from LN before/during the Roxy and Rudeus scene in last episode which made it not fully explained and all felt short. First off, the discussion on what to do with Rudy was almost entirely cut off. It was implied that the Elinalise had had some role in it. However, it wasn’t clear that Roxy was actually pretty much their last option to try and save Rudy. Rudy’s depression was kind of watered down. He had not left his room for almost a week, refusing to eat or talk, and getting dangerously close to going back to his old lifestyle. Then they shared the primitive (but eventually effective) idea that sleeping with a woman can cheer up a man, recommending Elinalise as the first option. She didn’t want to do it because of Cliff, so even Lilia and a brothel were mentioned as options. Still, they thought Roxy was the closest to Rudy’s heart with Sylphie so far away. Roxy knew about Sylphie and their baby, but she thought that it was worth trying if it meant saving Rudy. In her defense, while she did initiate it in the novel as well, I think the anime also made the situation seem a bit more one-sided. In the novel, after Rudy snaps at her about how her parents are both alive, Roxy mentions that she had an ‘older brother’ figure who died while covering for her when she started adventuring, so she understands at least a fragment of what he is feeling. In the anime thy cut lof of dialog and thoughts between them and, it appeared as if Rudy was just complaining about his situation while Roxy handled everything. While most of the actions are there, the lack of context which would be Rudy’s thoughts makes him seem completely unattached to the whole thing, while they further drive the notion that Roxy is just taking advantage of him for her own sake. The anime also cut short their discussion afterwords to basically Rudy just asking what he needed to do now and Roxy answering “Face the family you have in front of you.” In the novel, Rudy tells her about a ‘fictional story’ about a man who lived like trash, started over a new leaf but again lost someone important. Roxy listens to that and only then says that the man should face forward as that’s the only thing he can do. She brings it back to Rudy and tells him directly that he needs to face the future and that everyone is waiting for him.
On 2 occasions Paul had to dive out of his way to save Rudeus. I honestly think Rudy could have done better. Also him loosing his hand wasn't even necessary, if I remember correctly he lost it after the fact. & It served no real purpose doing it.
@@CircaMoon Bro I'm excited for several fights! But, yes... "that" fight is going to be absolutely GOATED. *Shivers in excitement* I hope to god they pull the animation stunt like they did with the Hydra fight, because. *Chef's Kiss* Forget the "prologue" fight - this one is going to knock some socks off ;D
Oh where we go from here we will prepare a battle field for an event that will happen long after rudeus died like 20 years minimum thats the entire story after turning point 4
I think Rudy should've had a one on one talk with Sylphy first and not bombard it all out there. Here he basically shames Roxy in front of the others and I would argue his sisters shouldn't even have a say in this. But honestly who knows how we would act in that situation? 😅
17:28 wait you do actually have a point he should have introduced her first..idk If it's a thing done to save time in the anime or it's like that even in the ln but yeah it would have definitely been a better way to approach this Still I don't mind him being upfront about it
does any remember jobless 1.08 & 1.10? dragon devil, orsted had teleported millions of people all over the planet, ua-cam.com/video/ZhYK1iYvwto/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/jN_TMl_E_is/v-deo.html & rudy still has not even bothered to research orsted nor his minion, Arumanfi. rudy at least could told the academy to research the mass murderer because orsted could do it again, anytime he wants. this season was a complete failure in resolving the ultimate issue.
just watched your review about the ep 24, the last part when they show the season 3 thing theres no translation but rudy says something like "to protect my loved ones i need to fight the impossible" thats the answer for your question about wheres the season 3 is going for. at this point its not a spoiler to say: prepare yourself to turning point 4 and prepare to shift your top 3 anime order when it happens
"You can't hate on Norn for her reaction" I can lol.. And its worse that she used her anger and sadness about Paul's death and her faith to bash Rudy for the Roxy stuff.. Maybe she wouldn't given him crap, but it was 90% the Paul stuff in my mind.. I love that they threw it in her face that Paul did the exact same thing and she said nothing, AND Zenith was IN the same building sleeping upstairs at the time.. To me that is waaay worse than being broken down, not eating for weeks, and she does it one time to help you get back on your feet.
rudeus shouldnt of been to blunt about it, but also i believe thats Japanese culture, this is my situation and statements ya know also rudeus is social a fool apart from video game dating sims and hes recent new life
bro, pausing to complain about something is never the answer. let the episodes play out and if you dont get an answer then you can complain. but stopping midway does nothing but waste time and you end up complaining about things that if you just let the episode play would've already been addressed
The subtle references between Norn and Rudy and the way Paul and Zenith acted in the cheating incident was on point.
Norn using Zenith's tone to tell rudy to stfu.
Rudy hitting that "huh" the same way paul did.
Norn getting mad a Rudy in the sword training because she was mad (just like Paul against Rudy that time)
and finally Norn getting talked into it with facts and logic like Zenith was.
Truly phenomenal
in LN, Rudeus felt heartbroken hearing those words from sylphie that she wasn't expecting him to be loyal.
I also like that Sylphy does say something along the lines of how she expected Rudy to at some point sleep with another woman. Because he is perverted etc. She kind of says this more in an an endearing and honest way. Just like the anime but that would not explain the second wife part any man could sleep with another woman.

Like Rudy is committed or duty bound, etc... so she knew that Rudy would not just like pump and dumb... lol Rudy would do the "right" thing and take on a second wife. I kind of like that. She understands the man she loves for all his pros and cons and everything in between. lol
Well how would you feel in that situation even if your wife was right that’s still a damage to the ego
wouldn't blame her at all, he's lucky she loves him enough to pull this shit and that Roxy was the one he brought home because if it was Nanahoshi he brought home she would have left him in heartbeat because she hates that girl
@@MrArrmageddon I recall Sylphie said that Rudy is a very responsible man and will want to marry any woman he has sex with because that's what happened to her, so she fully expected Rudy to somehow "accidentally" have sex with some other woman when she couldn't offer it, and therefore bring that woman home as a second wife.

Sylphy just hit roxy with the "She's just like me fr fr"
Or Sylphie is just like Roxy. Back in Ranoa Univ, when first meeting Rudy during the duel, Sylphie thought Elinalise was Rudy's lover. She got hopeful about being 2nd.
She did expect Roxy to be someone larger than life and superhuman. Rudeus keeps praising her every chance he gets, and he's been doing that since he was five years old.
Re-watching. Anyway, no one mentioned it, so I'll explain. In that world mana can cause dead bodies to reanimate as zombies (skeletons can get reanimated too). That's why people always cremate dead bodies, and if possible crush the bones. This goes both for dead humans, and monsters you kill. At least in human settlements they seem to have combined creation and grave sties (author really doesn't go into detail about that).
How Sylphie heard about Roxy:
Wherever Rudy went, he tells everyone about how awesome his master Roxy is. Even people in demon continent has heard. Now, because Rudy is an excellent mage, people expect Roxy to be even greater and use voiceless incantation as well.
Как в реальной жизни. Ты благодаришь своего школьного учителя за то, что ты стал известным учёным. Но твой школьный учитель - обычный человек.
Well, lets not forget Luke (a Greyrat) is one of Sylphie's best friends (and he is a terrible womanizer. Pump and dump style). She knew full well the Greyrat's reputation... And honestly, compared to Luke, Rudeus is pretty tame. At least, he marries the girls he loves, haha...
They all know who Roxy is. Norn and Aisha met her when she showed up to tell Paul where Zenith was and she was also there when they were discussing if they should send the girls with Ruijerd to Rudeus or not
Norn associated Roxy with Rudeus back then. So her attitude toward her back then should be apparent.
In the next season, the long prologue of this work will finally come to an end.
I can't wait.
I just love how japanese VAs pour all of their hearts on the stage man, Norn VA almost made cry every time I hear her cry for his dad. At least for me is wild to get emotional over fictional characters but their voices make it too real.
I teared up at that. It reopened the grief for Paul even better than that part of the book did.
“It crazy how much this feels like this could kinda serve as the ending of the show but obviously it’s not going to be.” They did end this season in that way but oh boy, the REAL story is about to begin next season, can’t wait!
I guess the main dangling story arcs are: (1) Nanahoshi's plans and why she and Rudy got here in the first place, and how it relates to the conflict between the Man-God and Orsted, and any teleport related stuff, and who Nanahoshi's other mysterious friend she mentioned is (2) Zenith's recovery, should it happen (3) Princess Ariel's battle to take over Asura Kingdom, and whether it draws in Sylphie and Rudy (4) the looming conflict between rival factions of the Millis church, which we saw in the Eris the Goblin Hunter episode that introduced Cliff and the rival religious heir, the little girl Eris saved, which could easily draw in Rudy, Cliff, and Elinalise (5) the fate of Eris and Ghislane, possibly tied into the succession conflict between Greyrat nobility, some of whom are involved on both sides of the conflict with Ariel (6) the motivations of Pergius and crew up in the Flying Fortress and, as they are foes of the old demon emperor Laplace, anything to do with him (esp. as people have said Rudy is the only one with similar mana levels). (7) the golem research and its implications, and who the person behind it was. Will they make Rudy a bionic golem-arm?
Pretty on point, only correction I'd make is that Laplace's title is Demon God.
22:25 Sylphie was expecting someone among Pursena, Linia, and Nanahoshi, as she added in her dialogue in the LN, while she's been feeling that jealousy even before she and Rudy got married. Saying that they had big badonkas and sexy bodies so she was quite worried about it due to how close they are to Rudy, especially when she got pregnant since she knew she couldn't please her husband till then. I'm pretty sure she simulated a scene like this in her head multiple times, given how calm she was lmao.
I can't believe OtakuSpirit got mentioned. Man really has become a pillar in the fandom.
Also, thank you man for reacting to this. The journey has been one of the best in the channel. Mushoku Tensei is a series that deserves to be adapted properly and fully, all 4 seasons. Season 3 is already in production so I can't wait.
Will you ever make a video essay for this like Steinsgate and Dark?
Im gonna say this.
Mushoku tensei is the onlly anime with a Harem that I can get behind.
When you see harems in anime 99 times out of a 100 its pure wishfullfilment and tackle in a juvenile way.
The girls love him MC becouse god say so, they love him becouse he is the onlly guy who is nice to them for some reason, they love the him becouse he has a dick that cud make a horse blush, you get the idea.
Not Mushoku tensei.
Hear It was presented with maturity and in a surprisinglly tactfull way every acction has consecuences and even if you can't condone their actions you can see where they are coming from.
It dosn't try to justify it but rather show you the context behind it and comits to it whether you are on board or not.
You can see how Rudeus Sylphie and Roxy are trying to deal with a messy situation the best they can.
And even tho Sylphie accepted Roxy its onlly natural that she have reservations and conflicted feelings about her.
Roxy to, she fells to guilty about what she did and dosn't quite feel like part of the familly jet, she sees herself more as a mistress than a propper wiffe.
The onlly reason this cud work its boucouse of Sylphie.
Blesed be the godess of love ❤
polygamy is not same as harem
@@macmac6064 poligamy its multiple sex partners this is a guy who mrarried multiple women... its a text book example of harem
24:57 is aisha making the pen for dillo by boy?!?!?! LETS GOO!!
I think one of the most memorable things about the visit to Paul's grave is that Rudeus finally admits he is just a kid pretending to be an adult. And I mean, he IS 16-17 yo at this point after all, and most of his life experience in the previous world doesn't apply at all to life in the "six sided" world (a much more brutal, rustic world with different customs and morals).
После школы он просто заперся в комнате на 16 лет (до 34 лет). Так что его изначальный ментальный возраст - старшеклассник. Сейчас он просто догнал этот возраст физически.
2 wives down, just the husband left to go
Just a quick one, I thoroughly enjoy your reactions. Tyvm for going through the efforts of providing us with this content, see you next season 🙏
Super glad to hear it! :D
Charizard the "husband" is still training somewhere to get strong enough to defeat another dragon.
They didn't really show that much but Rudy really keeps on yapping about Roxy whenever there's opportunity which made Sylphie a bit jealous sometimes but also she has the thought of "i wonder what she looks like" and "i wanna meet that person Rudy looks up to". I mean I think everybody knows already but Sylphie is just a Goddess 😂
What a beautiful end to the season. Seeing Rudeus' growth as a character always makes me cry. I can't wait to see the next season!
If anyones curious about what Rudeus says during the season 3 announcement: (slight spoiler warning more of a teaser though)
"To protect my newfound precious things...I'm going to fight the impossible"
I was thinking during that part, gee, I wish they subtitled this.
@@dudemanmcgee7595
It's subtitled in Muse Asia.
:aware: that's hype af
That imposible is gonna be a wild fight
Alright Easy mode is now off and the REAL shit is about to begin
In Japan, they do often bury the container with the ashes in a family grave, so Rudy followed Japanese practice here (which may also be local custom).
Brilliant and heart-felt ending to the season. Enjoyed your reaction. Rudy's works to Norn about carrying a sword in the heart were what Paul said to Rudy when giving him a sword on his 5th birthday.
idk if anyone spotted that deatail but lucie didn't cry , just like Rudy when he was reborn
16:05 nah nah, I completely blame her on this. That was her fault for leaving her position and putting Rudeus in a vulnerable spot. Had she paid more attention, there wouldn't even be any casualty
Also just wanted to thank you for your videos ❤ always fun watching your reactions. I used to watch your "sony" videos 😄 i dont even know if you even still do game videos haha
Haha awesome to hear! Yeah the gaming channel continues to prove a challenge for me. I really don't know if/what to do with it atm. Too few games I currently feel I still care about coming out. But maybe I'll find a better use for it still at some point!
2:45 she definitely did take advantage of him, but it's just that the whole situation was messier than what the anime shows
4:06 there's 26 volumes, yes, but there's also probably going to be 3 volumes of Redundancy that take place after (2 have already been released, the first is supposed to have its EN translation release in November), and we're still waiting for Jobless Oblige and Old Dragon's Tale to get the WN to LN treatment. Of course I don't recommend looking them up yet since spoilers obviously. Also Rifujin says he'll start the planned sequel when the anime catches up with the main story.
17:40 they had introductions when the group arrives at the house. Sylphy recognizes Roxy's name and tells her that Rudeus talks about her a lot. There was also a bit from Geese saying "senpai" (Rudeus) was lucky to have a cute wife like Sylphy, and also starts some banter with Elinalise about how Sylphy would be perfect if not for her "slutty granny."
No she didn't
Why only start the sequel when the anime catches up? That seems like a really bad decision, it only delays the anime for the sequel as well as not letting the sequel ride on the publicity for the anime.
@@84C4 Rifujin wrote the entirety of the original MT WN in under 3 years. The production for the anime has pretty much taken twice as long as that, and it's only close to being halfway to the end.
Besides, if he's only waiting for the anime to catch up with the main story, Redundancy could make up a season of content by itself to pad things out a bit. I'd also love to see Jobless Oblige get a movie, since it's about one of the best characters. Also, hopefully Old Dragon's Tale gets one as well. Plus, I hope he goes back to Subjugation of the Emperor Dragon King (which he wrote before MT, but started to establish the world with it) and fixes the stuff that's no longer canon and gives it an LN as well.
@@uihirasawa843 I get what you're saying, but the WN isn't the finished product, he then tends to revise and polish things for the LN. I'm guessing this time around there won't be a WN so he can go directly to LN sales and there's a slower cycle for that. I don't see what's the benefit in waiting. Maybe he wants to see the general audience's reaction to MK first? Idk.
@@84C4 The WN might not have been the finished product at first, but the later parts of the WN are actually very close to the LN. Volume 26 of the LN is almost 1:1 with the WN, with the only additions being a couple extra character POV's. I think he had an agreement with the publisher to go straight to LN for further installments to the series, so yeah it should like you suggested, but the LN was also released over the course of 8 years, while it's been about 8 years since the first season went into production. I don't doubt he'll be putting out books fast enough so that an anime won't outpace it. I just hope Rifujin is using this time to properly work out how the story is going to go.
Besides, he currently has another series, called Orc Eroica (not connected to MT), which is currently ongoing.
At Paul's gravestone the foreshadowing of Rudy's third wife was slyly placed.
Where? I don't see it.
@84C4 He says, did you ever consider marrying Ghislaine or Elinalise too? Foreshadowing Rudy's third wife.
@@petis1976 Oh, I thought you meant something literally placed on the gravestone. I just kept staring at it like a moron. lol
Ohhhh, im a LN reader but didnt notice that 😅
Zenith = Sylphie (reliable mother figure)
Elinalise = Roxy (older than Rudy/Paul)
Gyslane = Eris (Stronger than Rudy/Paul in the sword)
Oh, so he'd get a musclebound grandma as a suitor next season? One who'd like him all to herself for the rest of his days, perhaps?
Robin, please forgive me. I've been seeing other reactors.
HE HAS SINNED !!!
I'm sorry man, I don't think I can ever speak to you again. Goodbye.
😉 Jk no worries my guy, props for coming out with the confession lmao
With cremation it’s entirely up to the family, for example my nanna's ashes are in an urn and my mom has that while my brothers dads ashes are in an urn but then berried in a cemetery with a plaque where they were buried
Some people also have their ashes scattered in a place that had meaning to them, a mate of mine died in a car accident and his ashes were scattered into the ocean off the fishing boat he worked on
the reason he didnt introduces Roxy background to Sylphie is that, there wasnt need to...he always talks about Roxy when it comes to magic to Sylphie, to the point Sylphie is silently jealous to her as a magician, until they finally met
I can honestly understand Norn s feeling about it.
Like she was waiting for him while being pregnant acting unrespectful to her.
In that scene where they switched to their reaction she was really looking at him like:you are so f***king lucky to have her you pig.
I m sure that all of this pain and harship really brought him to be a lot more serious with his life and his surrounding not only respecting Paul as a father but also wanting to take care of his kinds and family.
Can't wait for season 3.
The reason Norn blew up at Rudy so hard was because Zenith raised her to be a follower of the Milis faith, so she does not condone polygamy that is why she was so mad at Rudy for cheating and wanting a second wife, but i like how everyone reminded her how much of a hypocrite she was for being mad because Paul also was a cheater and had a second wife in the form of Lilia. she idolized her dad even though he was a cheater, so it makes no sense for her to get mad Rudy. if she really despised Rudy for being a cheater, she would have to despise her dad to and hate Aisha's existence for being a product of his cheating which she doesn't.
I'd blame that more on grandma than Zenith tbh, but I can see it being Zenith's influence was well.
nah. Norn was only with Zenith for like 3 years, then Norn stayed with Zenith's family for a while and that's where she became a believer, but not by much really. But after Rudeus left for begarrit Norn found comfort on the faith
@@84C4 yea but it mentioned in the Novel that Zenith is Also a Millis believer and while she loves her grandsons, she hopes they won't be like Rudy and have a harem so i do think there is some influence from on Norn even if its mostly from her grandmother
@@undeade.t7044 Sure, but I don't think Zenith would raise her to be this dogmatic about it when she's in a harem herself and it would reflect poorly on Lilia and Aisha. That's just my assumption, the fact is that she wasn't given the change to raise Norn in one way or another.
@@undeade.t7044 From what we know (combining with spoilers content that I shall not go into) Zenith isn't really such a hardcore follower of Millis, or else she would never had allowed Lilia to stay and even have Paul to actually marry Lilia as a second wife. She still considers the happiness of her family over her religious beliefs.
Considering Norn was only with her mother up to three years old, it's way more possible that Norn's grandmother (Which is known to be one of the huge Nobel families in Millis Church. Zenith pretty much ran away from her home to marry Paul) input all the Millis belief into her, as it was mentioned that Paul did ask Zenith's family to take care of Norn when he's on missions.
17:34 They skipped the introductions, When the team arrived all of them introduced themselves to Sylphie, and ofc Sylphie reacted like "Roxy! as in the master Roxy Rudy respect so much!?"
I think he did the right thing, asking what he wants from the beginning instead of manipulating his way into making it more acceptable first.
Also, I guess this is a change from the anime, but in the LN Sylphie panicked when he kneeled, was confused the entire time and that's why it took so long for her to say anything, she didn't even think about the possibility of Rudeus getting laid from all the caos he went through and even thought that Rudeus possibly might divorce her.
26:57 We are lucky it was a girl because if it wasn't Rudeus was going to name him "Paul"
32:08 Well this is the ending of the adolescence period, was coming is the last period (Adult Period) and with this arc we finally are done with the teleportation incident, so we can say that the first major plotline has concluded.
Am I the only one who's starting to feel like the Man-God saying "If you go to Begaritt, you'll regret it" might have been more of a threat than advice? As in "I'll make you regret it"? Nothing really happened to make him regret going, so why was the Man-God so sure that he would?
No it was reverse psychology redeus said that if thw man god had told him to go save his mom he would have stayed
Mushoku tensei LN spoiler.....
.....

That man god was so tough that he was just stopping Rudy from meeting Roxy because Roxy and Rudy's child will kill Hitogami in the future
How bout not spoiling you little shits and let the people speculate. Absuolute fucking neanderthals
Man, these spoilers are so tough
Seems like it
Man now we wait for at least two years
1 most prolly
It'll come maybe next spring or winter
Please no, I was waiting for the romance this season :/
I wait for as long as I have to.
There will probably be an OVA
@@dallama2616 we need Paul Gaiden OVA, they have the PERFECT chance for that
Explaining Paul's origins and how he ran from his house after... welp, something...
Reason why Sylphie is called Goddess of Love ❤
To answer one of your questions. The story of Mushoku Tensei is the life story of Rudeus. I can't wait till his story is over and we get to the actual main story which has been hinted at during the beast continent arc. Also Aisha's arc and what kind of stuff is going to happen the LN readers know. That should be fun and interesting to watch how they handle that.
Now time to give Roxy a baby.
First child with Roxy: "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am The Honored One".
The one that picks nose and says "sup".
imo the changes from the LN to anime were great, the author of MT is working closely with the anime studio after all, the changes shifted the blame from the circumstances of the situation (Rudy is close to death so Roxy must save him, Elinalise manipulating Rudy into marrying Roxy, etc) to the characters highlighting their values/flaws even further (Roxy's selfish side/ulterior motives, Rudy's intention to make Roxy happy instead of being forced by pregnancy and/or Rudy's selfish intentions to have a harem)
Can't we talk about how that regret may still or may not come?
"The ONLY person who's words we should be hearing are Sylphies"
Exactly, ugh I can't stand that part.. How are you going to let a 10 year old tell you to shut up and not at LEAST scold them or tell them to leave the room the adults are speaking, they shouldn't even have been in the room for the conversation.
I think my favorite part of the episode is the end with the current greyrat family is that they are standing similar to how they are for the cover of LN 13
Silphy expected Nanahoshi to be the second wife
She and Rudeus both speak the same language, like the same foods and Nanahoshi goes to their house from time to time to use the large bath they have
Of course, those are japanese quirks, but from Silphy's point of view they are unusually close, so she was ready to accept poligamy
In the novels the ManGod showed up to explain "the regret"
Had Rudeus not gone to begarit, Gisu would have convinced a beastman adventurer to join them on the dungeon delve, and that man would have found Roxy, she would have developed a crush on him and travel together, but would have eventually gotten rejected
Without Rudeus, Paul and his team would have taken two years to beat the labyrinth, but no one would have died
What's with all the emptiness?! Hmm it's a literal mansion that only 2 sometime 3 (ie Norn) people were living in. A giant house with tens (possibly hundreds) of rooms and only 2-3 people having been living there while Rudeus was gone for a few months...hmm I wonder why some of those rooms are empty.
Nahhhh not that almost spittake at Sylphy's line haha
S2 cover Vol 7-12 so it cover 6 vol. And now all the volume been covered is 12 vol and we have 26 vol. So that mean 14 vol left. Which mean 3 more season. The last season maybe only have 12 eps
4 seasons if they continue to cut a lot out of the books, 5 seasons if they take their time and keep more in. Which is possible, there's a LOT of prime content to use, especially as it comes to a climax in volumes 22-25.
Norns hangup over Roxy came from the fact Zenith (and her family, both Born and Aisha visited Zeniths family in the interim between going back to Paul and Laul sending them to Rudy) brought Norn up in the Millis faith like Zenith.
Now rudy has bulbasaur and squirtle. Hopefully he would catch charmander next season.
Thanks for not going to hard on Norn. I would act the same way as an 10-12 year old girl. I forget her exact age but I think shes 11-12 at this point? Maybe 13 but I don't think so. Even if I was not part of some religion that's a fairly natural reaction for a young woman who likely is just coming terms with the fact she will marry one day. What she wants and expects from her relationship. How she sees her brother. Her putting herself into Sylphys shoes. It's selfish but children are kind of selfish but it's also not selfish in it's own way. Not to mention it's not like her mind was in a great place at this moment. Norn's one of the most relatable and best written characters in the whole Light Novel.
Great to know that you watched otaku spirit as I've been watching him for few months now
Otaku Spirit is great, as long as it is not about Sylphie
And that right there's why despite Eris being best girl, Sylphy will forever be best wife.
Mushoku is the only anime that i love all the heroine,Even sylphie.
Usually in other anime, I don't like that type of character.
But the author can make me like Sylphie too
Anime cut and left out a lot of things from LN before/during the Roxy and Rudeus scene in last episode which made it not fully explained and all felt short.
First off, the discussion on what to do with Rudy was almost entirely cut off. It was implied that the Elinalise had had some role in it. However, it wasn’t clear that Roxy was actually pretty much their last option to try and save Rudy. Rudy’s depression was kind of watered down. He had not left his room for almost a week, refusing to eat or talk, and getting dangerously close to going back to his old lifestyle. Then they shared the primitive (but eventually effective) idea that sleeping with a woman can cheer up a man, recommending Elinalise as the first option. She didn’t want to do it because of Cliff, so even Lilia and a brothel were mentioned as options. Still, they thought Roxy was the closest to Rudy’s heart with Sylphie so far away. Roxy knew about Sylphie and their baby, but she thought that it was worth trying if it meant saving Rudy. In her defense, while she did initiate it in the novel as well, I think the anime also made the situation seem a bit more one-sided. In the novel, after Rudy snaps at her about how her parents are both alive, Roxy mentions that she had an ‘older brother’ figure who died while covering for her when she started adventuring, so she understands at least a fragment of what he is feeling. In the anime thy cut lof of dialog and thoughts between them and, it appeared as if Rudy was just complaining about his situation while Roxy handled everything. While most of the actions are there, the lack of context which would be Rudy’s thoughts makes him seem completely unattached to the whole thing, while they further drive the notion that Roxy is just taking advantage of him for her own sake. The anime also cut short their discussion afterwords to basically Rudy just asking what he needed to do now and Roxy answering “Face the family you have in front of you.” In the novel, Rudy tells her about a ‘fictional story’ about a man who lived like trash, started over a new leaf but again lost someone important. Roxy listens to that and only then says that the man should face forward as that’s the only thing he can do. She brings it back to Rudy and tells him directly that he needs to face the future and that everyone is waiting for him.
"getting dangerously close to going back to his old lifestyle" nah, before at least he ate. This was way worse than his previous life
What’s your top 5 anime?
On 2 occasions Paul had to dive out of his way to save Rudeus. I honestly think Rudy could have done better. Also him loosing his hand wasn't even necessary, if I remember correctly he lost it after the fact. & It served no real purpose doing it.
Let me say this: Season 3 will be the best season in terms of story and content.
I’m so excited for “*that fight*”
@@CircaMoon 👀
@@CircaMoon Bro I'm excited for several fights! But, yes... "that" fight is going to be absolutely GOATED. *Shivers in excitement* I hope to god they pull the animation stunt like they did with the Hydra fight, because. *Chef's Kiss* Forget the "prologue" fight - this one is going to knock some socks off ;D
Oh where we go from here we will prepare a battle field for an event that will happen long after rudeus died like 20 years minimum thats the entire story after turning point 4
Well alrighty, now that all the light hearted slice of life stuff is over, ON TO SEASON 3 🗣️🗣️
Bulbasaur ,squirtle ✓
charmander next 😅
Imagine if Rudy's baby is another reincarnated person XD
idk why but when i saw redeus baby i thought my self "maybe he also got reincarnated" 💀💀
Season 3 is being made
I think Rudy should've had a one on one talk with Sylphy first and not bombard it all out there. Here he basically shames Roxy in front of the others and I would argue his sisters shouldn't even have a say in this. But honestly who knows how we would act in that situation? 😅
17:28 wait you do actually have a point he should have introduced her first..idk If it's a thing done to save time in the anime or it's like that even in the ln
but yeah it would have definitely been a better way to approach this
Still I don't mind him being upfront about it
Well in reality everyone knows about Roxy. He´s basically talking about her all the time and how she saved him and taught him magic.
it was done in the LN when the team arrived
@@ShiNijuuAKL oh okay just as I thought
26:25 she's worried about it cause Racism is pretty popular in their world 😂
31:14
this could actually be possible y'all won't take this away from me.
Paul did that :(
I think it’ll have 5/6 seasons
Mylphie is peak
Season 3 is the real plot😊 tp4
does any remember jobless 1.08 & 1.10?
dragon devil, orsted had teleported millions of people all over the planet,

& rudy still has not even bothered to research orsted nor his minion, Arumanfi.
rudy at least could told the academy to research the mass murderer because orsted could do it again,
anytime he wants.
this season was a complete failure in resolving the ultimate issue.
Don't click "read more" if you don't want spoilers.
He is gonna have 3 wives, the 3rd is Eris
cant wait for demon slayer reaction
just watched your review about the ep 24, the last part when they show the season 3 thing theres no translation but rudy says something like "to protect my loved ones i need to fight the impossible" thats the answer for your question about wheres the season 3 is going for. at this point its not a spoiler to say: prepare yourself to turning point 4 and prepare to shift your top 3 anime order when it happens
Geese.
Little kid should shut up and stay out of an adults conversation, my personal opinion
Internet dweller thinking they are an adult, my personal opinion
@@code122 You burnt him, my personal opinion
"You can't hate on Norn for her reaction"
I can lol.. And its worse that she used her anger and sadness about Paul's death and her faith to bash Rudy for the Roxy stuff.. Maybe she wouldn't given him crap, but it was 90% the Paul stuff in my mind.. I love that they threw it in her face that Paul did the exact same thing and she said nothing, AND Zenith was IN the same building sleeping upstairs at the time.. To me that is waaay worse than being broken down, not eating for weeks, and she does it one time to help you get back on your feet.
rudeus shouldnt of been to blunt about it, but also i believe thats Japanese culture, this is my situation and statements ya know also rudeus is social a fool apart from video game dating sims and hes recent new life
I think it shows honestly that he is not trying to prepare the terrain to manipulate them into accepting it.
bro, pausing to complain about something is never the answer. let the episodes play out and if you dont get an answer then you can complain. but stopping midway does nothing but waste time and you end up complaining about things that if you just let the episode play would've already been addressed
That's called reacting.
bro found out the meaning of "reaction" I'm so proud of you lil bro
