Yes Paul, and Philip are first cousins, witch makes Rudy and Eris Second cousins…. Trust me I had to do a lot of research for this when I first watched.
I don’t approve of child Beatings but I do think Eris needed to see that her Status can put her in danger and in the world no one care if you just say “my grandfather.) and that she won’t always be protected and that she needs to learn some real world stuff. Good lesson.
Rudy having to cast incantations for healing tells me he’s more talented as an elemental mage and that Healing is his worst type of magic compared to the rest. Maybe because he a Recarn? (Reincarnated.)
I took it that Rudy realized the servant from the mansion was lying about the 100 gold being enough for two, if that was the case I’m sure Paul would of been able to cover the two of them into the school for just 100 gold. I assume the man thought since Rudy is 7 school starting age, he would not realize he was being lied too.
Mind the brain.
Not much this ep I do believes ruddy hitting Eris back was a child brain impulse that flared up while he was thinking. And saying the bit about “buying wifus” outline was his brain in the moment saying what his mind thought.
Age counter
Rudy is still 7 years old. With Eris 9.
Not as much but still Letcher child.

Ange made the point that because of Rudy having lived in a different world, he's able to manipulate his way through many of the obstacles of his new life. The question then is what will happen and how will he change when he's not longer able to put those manipulative habits into practice.
Lovely to see you make your way through this series and have nuanced commentary on it too. Thanks guys!

BTW the VA for Rudy's adult previous life voice is the same as Gyomei in Demon Slayer.

The animation really is beautiful. The firework and Ghislaine’s attack looked so good

Notes on why Rudy mostly uses Earth Magic, is because Rudy has continuously been using earth magic to create action figures, as we can glimpse in many episode, it makes him become very proficient with it, even more than Water Magic,
he was a Water Saint Mage just because he learnt a saint level water spell, and because Roxy is a water mage

Small correction. Sword God style is the hyper offensive one, often aiming to end battles in just one strike. North God style is "everything goes", with many users not even using swords, but all kinds of different weapons and shady tactics.

Interesting fact: The reason why Rudy has to use incantations for healing is because he doesn't understand the intricacies of how it repairs a body. With elemental magic, he's able to draw on his science knowledge from modern times to manipulate mana how he wants wordlessly but because he has 0 medical knowledge, he doesn't know how to direct mana to heal someone.

Paul is advanced in all three sword styles, (North God Style, Sword God Style, Water God Style), Ghislaine is King Class in Sword God Style (Sword King)
So Paul trades being VERY good at one style, to be extremely versatile and swap between styles surprising and confusing opponents as needed.
The titles for swordsman work like:
A North God Style of King Class would be a North King, Water God Style of saint level would be a Water Saint, Sword God Style Emperor would be Sword Emperor.
North/Water/Sword Saint
North/Water/Sword King
North/Water/Sword Emperor
North/Water/Sword God
North Style is no rules to win(dirty tactics), Water style is countering opponents attacks, and Sword style is about taking your opponent out with a single powerful strike.
Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced - Saint- King - Emperor - God
