This show does definitely has those awkward moments, and I wish the animators could have done some of the creepy stuff a bit different. Maybe insinuated in his head, or maybe have just changed him being that level of a perv lol. But outside of those times, the show is absolutely top tier for me. I was reading this novel when it was coming out back then and fell in love with the Isekai genre because of it. Has me hopefuly some of the others eventually get animated and hopefully receive the same love as the animation has given Mushoku

2025-10-24 01:12:03 +0000 UTCI don't know about you, but for me, the Rudy graveyard scene was the most profound moment from this episode. He had basically divorced himself from his first family and lived as a shut in. He never even bothered to show up to their funeral. So to show his development where he accepted his life in this world, accepting his father was Paul, visiting his grave, and having a conversation with him, was Huge. Also, all the unspoken words they planned on sharing after they found Zenith, that Rudy was specifically holding off to say as part of his superstition that 'last words' were a flag, were saddening. He had been treating his adventure like a visual novel, and when Paul died, realized this world he was in was not a game. As Carlie said, it was like Paul was patting him on the back, so it became a conversation, not just a monologue.

2025-09-18 02:37:58 +0000 UTC2x24 I don’t think the regret will come till latter, though I see tons of it all ready. Na. Rudy cheating was instructed. By the man god, if he didn’t go he did “ advise” Rudy to cheer with one of the beast girls, “and his family will be blessed with even more happiness!” Mr. Angelo. “Zanoba hugged her too hard and killed her.” Me. “Dark mate….i…. Hmmm” Norn not only now sees her brother as someone she can lean on but all the stories she was practically being raised on by Paul about big brother Rudy’s greatest feats is why I think wen she said if he could protect their father, there’s no one in the world who could. The fact Zeneth took the armor shows their still something there, she may never be the same, but she can maybe get better. Rudy. “Dad died saving me from being killed. ……. So this Roxy my 75 year old master who I met when I 3. She be staying with us now as my second wife. While it’s been a long day, going to turn in early night.” Seriously. You couldn’t bring this up after yur little sisters have even an hour to greave? Soon as Sylphie heard Roxy’s name she made her decision I think. I’ve said it once and I’ll say forever Sylphie is too good for Rudy, wait toll aerial here’s this gos. I’m with Norn, Rudy’s excuse for wanting Roxy to be a second wife, is “I was grieving, and Roxy made me fill better.” Wuth that logic let’s hope no one dies he liked on the next adventure and a random hooker doesn’t cheer him up, cause that’s wife 3 people. I know it was ment to be welcoming, but in the dub I heard in between lines of Sylphie saying “your not a threat, your still just the second.” That’s what I heard. Lucie. I’m not sure I’m spelling her name right correct me if I’m not, i’ll need to know this for my own Rudy project. But I love this name and she’s already adorable with those eyes and her Littke Hair horn. She looks a lot like Rudy when he was a baby. And we know she’s not a Recarn because that kid came with lungs unlike when her dad came to this world. If Rudy told Paul at the state they were in before he died. That he was a Recarn, how would Paul respond I wonder. Here’s hoping ghosts are a thing here cause I’m not ready to say by to Paul and all his flaws. Shutting up now.

2025-09-02 07:53:17 +0000 UTCHow does it feel if your kids don’t want to worship someone you highly respect and miss him so much together. Doesn’t it make you feel heartbreaking? Things like this happen a lot in real life. Your father really miss your grandfather but your grandfather died before you were born. You have zero attachment to him and you find it really boring to worship with your father. (BTW, I still go with them every year because I don’t them to feel bad)

2025-08-29 12:16:30 +0000 UTCWatch the trailer pls. I agree with the opinion that only the people that have read the source material would see it as spoiler. Us as anime only wouldn't know what to make of it if new characters were shown. Even if Roxy is shown it's not like we didn't believe she'd be cut from the story forever.

2025-08-28 18:42:40 +0000 UTCI was truly getting my fingers ready to write some dissertation about polyamory. But nah, you guys get it. Although it may be a little more common than tradition would suggest. This was very messy in a good, classic MT way, still in the end it valued consent and accountability. Anyways... Love is Love.
Andy
2025-08-28 18:06:03 +0000 UTCThat's not "Basically telling Roxy about his past life," lol. Posing the question as a hypothetical would remove any notion of that in Roxy's mind since she doesn't even consider that a possibility.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 14:08:03 +0000 UTCIt's a spoiler in that EVERY trailer is a spoiler lol. I've kinda stopped watching trailers for things I am 100% guaranteed to watch, but for some reason I watched the MT one, and I don't remember anything from it besides the MAJOR thing.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 14:03:11 +0000 UTCYeah, I thought Paul's death being the regret was pretty obvious, but then Rudeus himself says, "That's just grief, not regret." Idk about that line. Muddies the waters unnecessarily because it made C&A think he got off without ANY regrets.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 14:02:23 +0000 UTCwtf did i just read?
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 14:00:53 +0000 UTCI can't relate to someone cringing at her, considering how much hot fire she was spitting. What does her age have to do with it? Kids can't be correct and have a valuable perspective regarding a family matter? C'mon, kid.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 14:00:24 +0000 UTCYour sentence hurt my brain.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 13:51:37 +0000 UTCShe really is good at nailing the nuances of the voice as it goes through emotions. I should check out what other characters she did. Reminds me of Ayase Momo's VA in Dan da Dan. Very unique.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 13:49:25 +0000 UTCShe's absolutely part of it, though. It's her older brother and her surrogate father at this point.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 13:48:44 +0000 UTCYeah the fact that Elinalise convinced Roxy to do it takes SOME of the "Roxy is disgusting" out of her character IMO.
The Great Santini
2025-08-27 13:47:05 +0000 UTCIs Slyphie now disgusting saying she would have done the same thing as Roxy if she was in her situation? ....... I dont think so, she just loves rudy and would do anything to be with him. *shrugs* "All is fair in love and war"
Cain Olivares
2025-08-27 10:17:42 +0000 UTCYo! You guys gonna check out the OP/ED's now? Would love to see it!
Sean Mcguinness
2025-08-26 21:27:33 +0000 UTCWoo! You guys made it! I started the show out of boredom, I wanted to see where the hell is the story going... But it turned into an obsession, the more I thought about it the more I realised how much this writer is a genious in writing "human"...

2025-08-26 19:25:46 +0000 UTCYes it was during the campfire scene when Elinalise lied to Rudues that Roxy was pregnant in volume 12.

2025-08-26 19:23:23 +0000 UTCthe thing with roxy is that after Pauls Death rudy wouldnt eat or come out of his room for 3 weeks the group thought about sending him to a brothel to get him back to normal but elinalise said roxy should do it herself

2025-08-26 18:58:40 +0000 UTClove to see you react to the season 3 trailer
Nabil Miah
2025-08-26 17:55:33 +0000 UTCthe thing the anime did a little poorly is the "depression moment", in the light novel it's way more long. as well, i think Elinalise lie to rudy to make him belief after that Roxy was pregnant or something ?

Jerome Grecia
2025-08-26 15:30:15 +0000 UTCLove all the angry reactions from Carlie and all the jokings from Ange in these 2 episodes. As much as anyone saying the Anime could do more to explain how/why this happen like the Light Novel does. It just cannot prevent some viewers from feeling angry for Sylphy, uncomfortable or cringe at their discussions. I never think that just because Sylphy accept it lightly, Rudeus doesn't deserve any backlash, and that is why Norn presence was necessary.
Khoi Pham
2025-08-26 15:26:36 +0000 UTCThe people who are saying the season 3 trailer spoils too much are people who already have the context of what they are seeing. I have not read ahead but have spoiled myself on the next ‘Turning Point’ but even with that knowledge the trailer did not really give me any info, we know Eris is alive and expect her to come back and it’s not like they are showing anyone we expect to be dead. Give it a watch, it’ll make you a bit hype for what’s to come imo
MrOuijaII
2025-08-26 14:46:24 +0000 UTCTop notch reaction, was definitely cackling these episodes and was definitely worth the wait. I think Roxy should get some grace if Paul and Lilia got any. What she did wasn’t out of lust or thoughtlessness. She for sure did wrong even if it worked out, she knows that, but she was scared watching her love wither away helplessly. I’m also mixed on the Norn lashing out. Some of its content is fine to put out there, but it’s obvious displacement of her emotions. And like hell I’m going to let a 12 year old try to steer the flow of a conversation in a relationship she is not apart of.

2025-08-26 12:49:35 +0000 UTCThere is no question of agreeing or disagreeing. The show makes it perfectly clear that this is adultery and that it is wrong. Adultery is no more acceptable in polygamy than it is in monogamy. Many people seem to confuse polygamy/polyamory with free union. The first one does not at all allow you to sleep with whomever you want. If Rudeus apologizes on his knees to Sylphie, it is for this adultery. Polygamy has nothing to do with it.
GTB
2025-08-26 11:01:49 +0000 UTCI think it would be very difficult for you to prove that polygamy is “stupid.” Narratively, it makes perfectly sense in Mushoku Tensei in that 1) it allows the author to address complex themes, and 2) his world is heavily inspired by the European Middle Ages (where polygamy was permitted) and where the Millis religion is the equivalent of the Church of that era. It was the Church that eventually imposed monogamy and institutionalized the marriage ceremony. It's normal for you (us) to feel that way; it's just an opinion coming from someone from that monogamous culture. But our cultures are also a bit hypocritical on the subject. In monogamous Western countries, people get married, they get divorced (which is still forbidden by the Church), they remarry (which is still forbidden by the Church), parents raise other people's children, the rate of adultery is high, polyamory is increasingly practiced, and swinging and free union are also practiced. The latter four are just other forms of polygamy. It is therefore clear that this concept is not a thing of the past. Not to mention the cultural differences in monogamy on certain points. For example, in the US, at the beginning of a relationship, it is culturally acceptable to date several people. This is shocking for other countries where this is not part of the culture at all. In Europe, exclusivity is effective from the very beginning of a relationship that is supposed to be or become romantic. Dating several people is extremely frowned upon. In Mushoku Tensei, polygamy is still the norm, whereas the Milis religion is monogamous. Polygamy is practiced by both women and men, with rules. To marry a new partner, all the others spouses must give their consent. The first partner married is "the main spouse" and has the status of head of the family. In these episodes, the moral issue is not polygamy but Rudeus' adultery. Adultery is forbidden, even in polygamy. Especially since Rudeus had verbally promised to be faithful to her. He therefore broke that promise. The author of Mushoku deliberately uses narrative setups to address thought-provoking themes, creating characters who all have flaws in order to explore those flaws and human complexity. This is clearly evident in the way the themes are handled. In the same vein, one show is the exact narrative opposite of Mushoku: Breaking Bad. It tells the story of a good/moral person who gradually crosses all moral boundaries to become the worst kind of scumbag. That's why these shows are so interesting.

2025-08-26 10:24:51 +0000 UTCI forgot how much I hate the pacing in ep23... The directing is so sloppy... *If I have some more time later, I might edit this comment to explain why I think this in more detail.
floxer
2025-08-26 09:39:06 +0000 UTCI completely agree that this is cheating, mainly because of Rudy's promise to Sylphy, and while i am not into the idea polygamy, it is more common in this world than you think, i know of 2 people who have more than 1 spouse, one of which is my brother in law's father, I met the family the 2 wives get along surprisingly will, each other's children call the other wife "auntie", but they definitely do not live in the same house. As for the trailer I think it is only a spoiler to people who know what is going to happen by reading the novels, otherwise it will make little to no since, unless you consider this or that character will be there as a spoiler
hussam abdelalim
2025-08-26 07:48:01 +0000 UTCFirst of all, well done simping for Rimuru, you have excellent taste. Secondly, It’s not the polygamy part that’s the problem, it’s that he communicated to Sylphie that he was going to be monogamous and that was their understanding. So it was cheating before it was polygamy.
Graham
2025-08-26 07:37:37 +0000 UTCAs someone from a polygamous culture, I don’t get why people are mad about this. It’s the norm in their world for a man to have more than one wife. That’s also for the above average in their world. Rudeus is a Saint rank Water Mage with incantation-less casting. I’d say that puts him on the same level as King rank Mages which are world renowned. Absolutely no one would find it weird or “scummy” if Rudeus had over ten wives and a giant castle. Despite the shit people give Rudeus, I’d say he’s in the top 10 characters morally in this entire show. Even Nanahoshi who is supposed to be a “normal person from our world” treated people like they’re NPCs until Rudeus introduced his friends to her. Look, although I understand and accept polygamy, I hate harems as much as if not more than the next guy. However, you can tell when a relationship is “You’re so pretty! Marry me!” and when it’s “You have made such an impact on my life, and I want you to be a part of the rest of it.” I just really appreciate Mushoku Tensei’s take on the culture of polygamy and how it’s not always just a “horny man wants lots of sex”.

2025-08-26 06:55:10 +0000 UTCDon't watch the trailer for season 3. It spoilers too much.

2025-08-26 06:54:20 +0000 UTCI guess you could say "seen" instead of "met" in this context. Just for the future! 😄
Mamura
2025-08-26 06:53:41 +0000 UTCThe trailer is “let’s show as much stuff as possible with 0 context or dialogue so you don’t know what’s going” but it does show a lot so it could easily be a 8-10 min video dissecting it all. I don’t think ya should so you 2 have a fresh perspective watching the season as it airs plus it does show the Most Famous LN illustration of the series which should have been saved for the season but whatever
Jacob
2025-08-26 06:45:50 +0000 UTCBefore I watched the episode, I read all the comments and I had a feeling that you guys weren't very understanding about the situation, but I have to say that you were so open about it, it was really nice to see. You guys are one of the most thoughtful people I've ever met ("met" not really, but you get the idea). I think that's why I fell in love with your content. Thanks for the amazing journey and I'm looking forward to the next season! 😁❤️

2025-08-26 06:23:54 +0000 UTCthats the beauty of the show manin, people arent perfect, we choose which flaws we accept and reject and thats how we decide our friends and family, each human has their perspectives, their motivations, their goals, we can disagree with someone, but its hard to judge someone that didnt do something in bad faith, and thats the beauty of it, even if u hate rudeus for having a second wife and cheating on sylphie, u understood his side and was able, to a degree, to have empathy for him, and again, thats why this show is amazing Much love everyone <3

】 【
2025-08-26 05:04:19 +0000 UTCHere's why I think Rudy marrying multiple wives is completely justified in his case, but we shouldn't equate that to our life experiences. The main thing to consider is that the circumstances between them are completely out of ordinary. Their bonds are formed from multiple life and death experiences together that are never gonna happen to us IRL. None of us are getting teleported to a desert continent and have to walk for 2 years together back to a destroyed home. None of us is spending years of lives and risking it entirely to rescue someone's parent, and got trapped in a deadly labyrinth for a month just to be narrowly rescued by that someone. If anyone IRL actually have this kind of experiences, I would have no issue they marry multiple partners and not just one way man-wives but woman-husbands too.
Vero
2025-08-26 04:31:51 +0000 UTCHarems suck, polygamy is stupid. Multiple wives is the second worst thing about Mushoku Tensei (I assume we all know what the number one worst thing about Mushoku Tensei is). In any case, there's still a lot of interesting story left to tell that I'm looking forward to seeing animated.

2025-08-26 03:02:00 +0000 UTCI don't blame you guys. Rudy is a horrible man. He's gettin better but there's a loooong road ahead kkkkkkk but I actually like Sylvie's speech and the way she treats Roxy after Norn ate her alive. Idk Rudy is a Lucky Guy but after losing his father and mother, the guy deserves some peace, no...? Idk maybe I'm Just defending something I don't want to defend kkkkkk

2025-08-26 02:45:57 +0000 UTCExcellent reaction guys, your insight into character perspectives was great.
Serkule
2025-08-26 02:11:10 +0000 UTCVery good commentary and after show thoughts. Including how Sylphy would think and why Norn was there plot wise. When I was first reading this. I had like thoughts split between Norn and Sylphy reaction. It was good to have Norn there. All that needed to be said. Even if it was mostly for the audience. lol And it's so well written and that's why MT is so predictable but also not predictable at all. I think if you take the time to focus on the story and characters. You won't usually be surprised most of the time. But it's also very unpredictable like as soon as you think oh Rudy will get a job to pay for Sylphys fee to go to the college. He is shipped off to to tutor Eris. The mana disaster happens. Lore and plot wise you won't know what to expect. But each character is well written. Almost like the writer lived multiple lives himself. lol
Jason Graham
2025-08-26 02:04:34 +0000 UTCthere is nothing to be spoiled in the trailer unless they constantly pause and analyze every details just watching it once wont spoil much not to mention that in one year till it comes out they will probably forget everything
Саша Милошевић
2025-08-26 01:42:07 +0000 UTCAfter watching S1 I read ahead. It took 6 months to read the season 2 volumes but the season 3 volumes I read in 3 days. So it's safe to say the best is yet to come.
C C
2025-08-26 01:21:10 +0000 UTCYo this is a very very good point, but this is the kinda subtext I would expect an adaptation to not be able to develop. Having read it before watching it completely went over my head that the anime doesn't really express that well at all
Panda
2025-08-26 01:19:42 +0000 UTCI will say when I turned onto the chapter in Vol 12. Were Rudy has to confess and ask his pregnant wife permission to Marry another woman.... It was just as terrifying as flipping into a Turning point chapter. The beyond cringe and placing myself in their shoes... I was like... oh god. I had no idea how it would go. I would almost rather jump off a cliff than be in Rudy's shows and have to admit to what had happened and then ask that question. Even re-reading it now is interesting. And yea it's more detailed than the anime but not to different.
Jason Graham
2025-08-26 01:19:33 +0000 UTCWhile I love the Anime. The Lightnovel is quite a bit better. And these last two episodes while alright were butchered. A lot of missing context. Actually season 2 in general was missing a lot. But ever since Rudy left to go save his mom. I feel season 2 dropped the ball and could have used 2-3 full more episodes. That's how much is missing. And there is are a lot of big thing and subtle things that help with the Rudy, Roxy situation. I think anime only can still grasp it. But yes maybe read some other comments I won't go into the details. But yes a few things were changed or omitted. It never made it clear just how messed up Rudy was. It never gave us clear thoughts into Rudy and Roxys minds. And while an anime adaptation can't do that like a light novel can. I feel a few minor edits could have made this a lot better. Other aspects of it too. Not in the mood to mention them all. Well Elinalise did lie to Rudy about Roxy being pregnant. Who spured him on to want to Marry her. But Rudy loved her and obviously wanted too deep down anyhow. But if Elinalise never told him that Roxy was pregnant in the Light Novel I don't think Rudy would have went as far to take responsibility and ask Sylphy for a second wife. And yes I absolutely love Rudy having two wives and it was very well written. Maybe less so in the anime but that's up to each person to decide.
Jason Graham
2025-08-26 01:16:33 +0000 UTCAs for the “regrets” mentioned by Man God and the what comes next...actually, season 2 has already started to paint the big picture :). It's quite delectable, when you know, to see all these pieces put in place in this season that anime-onlies don't see...yet. No.one.is.ready.for.season 3. Interesting post-show discussion. I think there are two very distinct things to separate regarding the Rudy/Sylphie/Roxy triangle. -> On one side is the polygamy subject. Which is the norm in this world (for both women and men). The author deliberately addresses this here to shake up the audience and talk about something that is not a thing of the past, nor reserved for a few countries. Today, polyamory and free union are practiced in all Western countries (and a high rate of adultery/cheating). And the Milis religion in the show reminds us that there are several conceptions of the couple. Monogamy, which we consider natural, is not. It is just one possible path. It was the Church that imposed it on a massive scale, by force, a few centuries ago. A Church that does not allow polygamy, nor, in the 21st century, marriage between two men or two women, nor divorce and remarriage. I am heterosexual and monogamous, but I do not consider this to be the only valid option. I think there are several conceptions of the couple that can work. Note: polygamy and polyamory obey certain rules. For example, in Mushoku Tensei, men and women can have multiple spouses, but only if all the spouse gives their consent. And the first one is "the main spouse" and the head of the family. There is often confusion between polyamory and having the right to sleep with whomever you want. This is absolutely not the case. -> On the other side is the adultery subject. Rudy is guilty of adultery with Roxy. This is not tolerated in polygamy either. And this is where Rudy's fault lies; his failure to Sylphie. He knows it, and it is for this act that he apologizes to Sylphie with a Dogeza. Of course it's wrong... but above all, it's very human. And we have to be able to face ourselves. Adultery is very common in many monogamous countries (between 40 and 65%); with varying degrees of hypocrisy depending on the country. As for Sylphie's reaction to this, like Angelo, I think it's consistent with her character (who sees that there is love behind this act, not just sex), and even if we don't understand her forgiveness because we wouldn't have done the same, the fact is that in reality, many people forgive their partners or try to. Others have probably already pointed this out, but a lot of things from the light novel have been cut from these episodes to fit the format. Things that help explain why the characters act the way they do. For example: - Roxy sleeps with Rudy because of a discussion with the others about how to comfort Rudeus. Since no one has a solution, Elinalise says that when she slept with men who weren't doing well, they seemed to feel better afterwards. With no better solution, Roxy decides to try it. - Rudeus talks to Roxy about marrying her if Sylphie agrees, because Elinalise made him believe that Roxy was pregnant. Elinalise does this because she believes that her friend Roxy's happiness lies with Rudeus and his family, and that they will be happy all together. And Rudy, in addition to loving Roxy, wants to take on his responsibilities as the father. Rudy only learns after the discussion with Sylphie that Roxy is not pregnant. - When Rudeus tells Sylphie that he has something to tell her, Sylphie is (very) afraid that he is going to announce that he is leaving with Roxy. So she feels relieved that Rudy only wants to ask her permission to bring Roxy into the family.
GTB
2025-08-26 00:00:41 +0000 UTCHonestly a lot of people are saying watch the trailer, I disagree. People say there's not be any story spoilers but just seeing the new characters (and some returning) before they're properly introduced will lessen the impact of seeing them in a first watch. Also I HIGHLY disagree about there not being any spoilers. You can infer a large part of the season's plot from the trailer alone.
DBR
2025-08-25 23:59:45 +0000 UTCYeah, elise has good intensions for end result, but her lie definitely forced rudy's hand to outcome she was pushing him toward. She is one that told him roxy was pregnant. it's a HUGE missing piece in anime only
Adam
2025-08-25 23:47:42 +0000 UTCThe anime skips some important context from the light novel about why Roxy ends up sleeping with Rudeus after Paul’s death. In that world, there isn’t really an understanding of emotional or psychological trauma—there’s no concept of therapy. Instead, people often cope with grief, fear, or despair through adrenaline and physical release. That’s why warriors are described as visiting brothels before or after dangerous missions: not only for pleasure, but as a crude way to manage stress. A few chapters earlier, Geese even suggests Roxy should hurry into the labyrinth because of a “curse,” which the reader understands is basically PTSD. For them, these mental struggles are seen as supernatural ailments, not psychology. In that same mindset, Geese later proposes Elinalise could comfort Rudeus, and she admits it might help, but refuses because of her tie to Sylphy. Roxy, however, takes that role. It’s not a justification, but this missing context shows why the scene was written that way, even if it feels abrupt or troubling in the anime. Season 3 Trailer Reaction?

2025-08-25 23:10:55 +0000 UTCLet’s not forget Roxy used to be a figure of authority for Rudy when he was like 4 years old 😅 So, yeah, I fully think what she did in the anime version was take advantage of him. I understand the world is different, and there’s the incarnation element… still, I don’t like that happened, it really felt icky to me. Still I really liked the show, I’m glad no one was heartbroken. By the end of the day, this is all fiction, so we can still enjoy the writing work even if it doesn’t match our morals 👌🏽

2025-08-25 22:27:39 +0000 UTCTheres nothing too spoilerly in the trailer imo as a anime only myself who watched it. There's just some things to look forward to with no context

2025-08-25 22:06:41 +0000 UTCi hate that roxy gets the blame.... coz in the books rudy was the first the cave, roxy put herself out.. but she didnt pin him down and move it forward herself... the god is innocent lol

2025-08-25 22:03:45 +0000 UTCAs a fellow Jeff, I concur.
Jeff
2025-08-25 21:57:02 +0000 UTCAll in all, I'm actually shocked by how much I like your reactions here. When you first announced this, I thought "well this isn't the right show for these two". And to be fair, the first ~7 eps it was true. But you made it through those and I'm really happy you did.
Aaron Griffin
2025-08-25 21:51:14 +0000 UTCIt doesnt show it in the anime very well. But part of Rudy's incentive to take on Roxy is actually due to Annalise. What kinda happens is more like, Roxy took advantage of him in a moment of weakness and he succumbed to it in despair. On the way back he gets told essentially that he got her pregnant and implies if he didn't take her in she would be shunned and likely go off and die somewhere with his child. The anime adapts it to seem much more lust driven and that Rudy is more giving into that opposed to being responsible so it paints him in a bad light even though he has undergone character development

2025-08-25 21:42:01 +0000 UTCWell I'm late and practically everything as already been said in other comments so i will just say thanks for the trip i was already watching you on youtube 1 year ago but got on patreon for this and now that we are done im stuck here for OP Naruto and basically everything else <3 love you and your top reactions. That said i do think the trailer is a bit too spoilery, i would avoid it S3 cour 1 will be pretty stacked probably one of the Peak points of the novel and since is so anticipated the trailer is a bit too much full of content xD

2025-08-25 21:37:48 +0000 UTCCant wait for next season. This season is goated for its calm school life but we need the danger of adventure back

2025-08-25 21:12:22 +0000 UTCthank you for the reaction. this anime was so good. every youtube ranking, this gets the no 1 for isekai anime rankings too. can't wait for the season 3. And I hope you guys will react to some of these anime too. I am a new subscriber. do you guys do polls to decide the anime or just picking up ones from the comments. If so, i would like to suggest some 1. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 2. Black Clover 3. Grand Blue dreaming (the funniest anime i have ever watched) 4. I want to eat your pancreas (anime movie 1.5 hr) 5. Jose, the Tiger and the fish (anime movie 1.5 hr)

2025-08-25 20:55:34 +0000 UTCRudy using his depression as an excuse is 100% a cop out and it was absolutely a mistake. But that's the point of this story. Good people are flawed and make mistakes, but that doesn't mean they aren't human or above learning from their mistakes. Sometimes in life, mistakes can actually lead to good things either through growth or facing your shortcomings. Facing these kinds of trials and tribulations and being able to overcome them only makes relationships of all kinds that much stronger. Sure, the author could've written Rudy just getting over his post-traumatic experience by himself. But his weakness allowed the exploration of Roxy's own insecurities and paved the way for her honesty with Sylphy. The way I see it, Roxy and Rudeus' mistakes allowed Roxy to be open with Sylphy in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. So either she never would've been accepted into the family and forced so abandon the love she had been looking for for pretty much her whole life, or there would have been a lot more hidden animosity between them and a lingering sense of unease within the family.

2025-08-25 20:44:02 +0000 UTCI understand people not liking or being uncomfortable with the 3 person relationship, but other cultures exist and as long as every person involved in the relationship is okay with it then I see no issue. It's between those 3 what is "wrong" in their relationship, not the standard of modern REAL life relationships, which this show is clearly not trying to emulate because it's a fantasy world. Even in real life there are cultures and religions that accept it, including my own religion, even though I personally wouldn't want that for myself, I respect others who do, it's just weird to see it as taboo just because you personally find it wrong. Glad you guys took these episodes with grace and understanding! Can't wait for season 3!
Helpy
2025-08-25 20:30:02 +0000 UTCMaybe something said this already but the regrets that were weighing in the scale were Roxy's and (most likelyy) Paul's lives. If he had stayed Roxy would have died and Paul wouldn't since they only got to the Hydra because of Rudeus.

2025-08-25 20:15:25 +0000 UTCThe trailer has alot of out of context Holy shit moments but if your not caught up in the series you won't really know what you're looking at, maybe don't pause 🤔
Radiochip
2025-08-25 20:09:03 +0000 UTCEven if the book reckons that (which I doubt, mate), it don’t make a lick of sense. They were stuck on the bloody second floor for months. Without Rudy and that book, which was basically a walkthrough guide, they’d never have made it to the sixth. And even if by some dumb luck they did, they wouldn’t know jack about the devouring devils hive, the talfro root, or burnin it like incense to keep the buggers away. Long story short, no way they ain’t gettin fully wiped.

2025-08-25 19:59:07 +0000 UTCReally glad you guys enjoyed Mushoku. Probably my favorite series of all time , got into the anime first and then finished the series through the novels. You guys are gonna love season 3. As for the trailer, there’s definitely a huge spoiler in it. However, I don’t think reacting to the trailer would take away from the watching experience.

2025-08-25 19:17:44 +0000 UTCSurvivor's guilt is a big thing and often overlooked. I'm glad they give at least some portrayal of it here with Rudy feeling like he should have been the one to die rather than Paul. That mixed with the grief of losing his father had Rudy at a very low point. Most people probably agree that taking advantage of that depression was a shitty thing to do, and there was definitely less bad ways to be there for him. In the end though both of them did show remorse and regret and Sylphie did accept their explanation and apology and it was on her to do so.
Link
2025-08-25 19:15:21 +0000 UTCIn the books they explain the regret thing better: If Rudy didn’t go Roxy would have died, but the group would have managed to save zenith without Paul dying; the reason he died is because Rudy was there which cause him to be reckless cause he wanted to show off to Rudy . That what he meant when he told Rudy you’ll regret going
Ben levy
2025-08-25 19:10:10 +0000 UTCThe anime left out details on why Roxy let Rudy clap her. It was really elinalise who talked her into it

2025-08-25 19:03:12 +0000 UTCI think the S3 trailer is safe to watch imo, I think alot of the things considered as "spoilers" in it you'd need to know what they're referencing to begin with by reading the LN's so i think you're both safe to watch it
Night Sterling
2025-08-25 18:56:34 +0000 UTCGreat reaction to the series, guys! Love that you notice the nuances that make the show stand out. Regarding the trailer for S3, I think it wouldn't be a spoiler to you. The things it clearly gives away are obvious and the references to important events wouldn't give away much without prior knowledge of the LNs. Speaking of the LNs, people love giving extra information from them, but I think the anime cuts and small tweaks to the story actually make it better. So, I'd say, take the story for what is shown and not shown in the anime. Looking forward to S3!
Digit
2025-08-25 18:37:50 +0000 UTCOne scene I’m really frustrated they didn’t include was the morning after Rudy asked for advice about a hypothetical person who didn’t care when they’re parents died, but much later they lost someone else important to them and only then did they grieve their parents death. Roxy said they should go and visit their parents graves, but Rudy said what if this person could never go back. Then Roxy says what was included in the show, to face forward and be there for everyone who still he still has. He basically tells Roxy about his past life

2025-08-25 18:33:52 +0000 UTCWhen I commented a long time ago to "keep an open mind." I was referring to this outcome lol. I know it feels so out of place and unnecessary, but as they say, "they aren't Millis followers," and these women are truly loved by Rudy. (I hope! I've only watched up to this. So excited for the next season!)

2025-08-25 18:33:27 +0000 UTCthe majority" modern monogomy comes from the reality that both christianity and islam invaded many countries greeks and romans didnt have monogomy because it was right they had it to nsure legal disputes greeks created the one wife law to limit inheritance and romans copied it pre christian celts were mix some trobes were manogamous some poly but wasnt a devie mandate pre christian norse/ vickings were not monogomous mongolians were not monogomous shinto japan wasnt manogomous native americans also as varie as celts some tribes opted for manogomy most did not only notable pre abrahamic culture to have manogomy is germanic tribes

2025-08-25 18:25:32 +0000 UTCBecause you are wrong, Elinalise never suggested anything like that to Roxy.
Ryuuji Gremory
2025-08-25 18:21:54 +0000 UTCShe is also an 11 y.o. girl that just got bombed with new traumata having lost her father, being responsible for her brother being mutilated and learning her mother is now basically a vegetable. So an emotional reaction from her is very much to be expected,.
Ryuuji Gremory
2025-08-25 18:21:43 +0000 UTCI want to edit my previous statement because it's a little misleading. What actually happens is there's a big discussion with the party since Rudy isn't recovering. Geese brings up that Elinalise should just sleep with Rudy to get him back on his feet, after all she has done this stuff before and it worked. Elinalise told him that she can't do it with Cliff and Sylphie to think about and with her and Rudeus having drawn a clear line before they set off on their journey, and that if he wants to try that method he should just drag Rudy off to some brothel. Geese said that some random woman wont do, that there needs to be some emotional connection and suggested that maybe Lillia should do it, which was shot down by Elinalise for being a insensitive shitty thing to suggest. Roxy was barely even part of this part of the conversation, she mostly just was there to witness it and no one suggested she should do it. In the end the whole party settled on waiting for Rudeus to hopefully pick himself back up, they would have to eventually take some kind of drastic measures if there was no change but for the time being they decided to give it some more time.
TastyBlueSoap
2025-08-25 18:16:47 +0000 UTCseason 3 should on paper be the best season of MT based on the content they will cover. the trailer is honestly pretty spoilery free except the last second of it tbh. would recommend to stop watching it after the title card appears if you are going to react to it

2025-08-25 18:05:43 +0000 UTCI will say Elinalise is set up to be the perfect advocate for Rudy to marry both since she spent years travelling with Roxy in season 1 and also is Slyphie's grandma.

Noremac the Negligible
2025-08-25 17:49:53 +0000 UTCLight Novel Cut Content: Unfortunately, the anime only showed the surface level of what Rudeus was really going through. He wasn't just depressed about Paul's death; he was saddened about the death of his previous mom and dad. It wasn't until after Paul died that Rudeus began thinking about how his original parents passed away and that he didn't even bother going to their funeral despite how supportive and caring they were to his lazy ass, never working a day in his life. He truly began to hate himself for being a worthless son and never caring about them in his old lifetime. Losing Paul made him think he wasn't doing any better with the second life he was given. To make matters significantly worse, he couldn't share the grief and pain of losing Paul with Zenith since she wasn't in a state in which she could understand him. Rudues was filled with an overwhelming sense of sadness that was too much for him to handle. A week goes by, he couldn't bathe, he couldn't eat, he barely drank any water. Anytime someone tried to talk to Rudues, he wouldn't be able to cognitively hold a conversation with them due to being lost in his own world. He was regressing into the same state he was in his previous life, and it was looking to get even worse. At least until Roxy saved his life. The passionate night they shared managed to get him to listen to her words of wisdom, which pushed him to move forward in his life. This was the second time Roxy brought him to the outside world!
Ramon Fax!
2025-08-25 17:44:25 +0000 UTCAs other commenters said. some context was lost. more context on mental state matters, and given the level of depression going on, everything that happened made complete sense even under strict review of therapists who reacted to this content and said "yeah, that's pretty dead on human response" This show/LN is one of the few that actually do poly relationships correctly. with a healthier dynamic and family structure and not just waifu harem style anime that is "gotta catch em all" Even if you're not in support of poly relationships for your own household, view theirs with an open mind going forward and recognize that it is healthy and wholesome.
Adam
2025-08-25 17:43:02 +0000 UTCMushoku Tensei is the closest an anime has ever come to making a harem that makes sense. In the books they describe that Rudy hadn’t eaten in days and was essentially wasting away. The idea of sleeping with someone to cure their wounded heart was brought up by Geese. No one could think of who should be the one to do it though and in the end the rest of the group said he would just bounce back on his own. But Roxy knew him better and decided she had to do something. In the end Sylphie accepted it because she knew who Rudy was and was just happy that someone stepped in and saved her husband when she couldn’t.
Stephen
2025-08-25 17:42:55 +0000 UTCIt wasn't weeks, the only timeframe we get in the novel is "Rudeus, Paul’s son, had spent almost a week now cooped up in his room."
Ryuuji Gremory
2025-08-25 17:42:29 +0000 UTCI will preface by saying I am NOT defending Roxy or Rudy in what happened, HOWEVER, a TON of context was cut from this episode and it was executed very poorly compared to the novels. Rudy locked himself in his room for weeks after returning from the labyrinth, refusing to eat, and slowly wasting away. During that time Geese, Elinalise, Talhand and Roxy discuss how they can lift his spirits enough for him to actually survive the trip home. Geese initially suggests that Elinalise sleep with him, which she of course refuses, even though she agrees it may be the only way to make him forget his grief. This meeting is also where Roxy learns that Rudy is married. She then goes to his room on her own initiative and comforts him as she did here. In the novels however it is Rudy that makes the first move and Roxy goes along with it. Those are really the only important changes. Again I think it was poorly done but it is what it is. I have high hopes for season 3 in 2026 since they wont have to adapt as much and the director from season 1 is returning for season 3.
Balek
2025-08-25 17:37:41 +0000 UTCSkipped things in episode 23, the party had a conversation about how to get Rudy to “snap out of it.” Geese asked Elinalise to do her thing with him, because that’s worked for guys that had similar experiences to Rudy’s, and of course she refused because Sylphie is her granddaughter. And they all knew Rudy wouldn’t just sleep with anyone. None of them are therapist or even in the right for suggesting it while knowing he’s married with a kid on the way but it’s what happened. So Roxy knew what she was doing and just learned about his marriage before going in his room. Another skipped thing, Rudy tells Roxy a story of a man, this man being his old self. Basically telling her what he really is and asking “what that man, who can’t go back to his old life, should do now?” I really hate that it was cut from the anime as I feel the added context matters quite a bit.
