Yea it's definitely an interesting topic to explore for sure. I personally get super defensive when it comes to kids cuz they're innocent. Same with my Babylonia reactions, I kept saying pls leave the kids out when the lahmus were attacking. But I do agree killing over kicking a kid is definitely extreme af.
But I do get Ruijerd's extreme moral stance in defending kids and I think there's a big difference in committing crimes under a spell where you basically were possessed vs committing crimes intentionally. Either way, Ruijerd definitely gotta chill a bit cuz he's too OP 💀

Correct, Ruijerd has a very strict morality, if you harm a child in anyway, your evil, therefore death. Ruijerd at this point is very much a, if you commit what I think is evil you should die, kind of guy. As Eris points out its kind of hypocritical since while under the influence of the cursed spear Ruijerd committed horrible evils, should he not have been punished just as swiftly?
Its an interesting moral question that really melds with the theme of the story, the theme of second chances.

Great info here and as for your last point, I think it's important to mention that Ruijerd killed because that demon kicked a child. I don't think he would've done that if Rudeus was an adult 🤔

So for the Demons, basically its a catch all term for any race that is from the Demon Continent which is on the other side of the world from where Rudeus and Eris were prior(They are from the Asura Kingdom in the Central Continent). So you have multiple races that are demons, the Migurd Clan Roxy is from and the Superds look mostly human as opposed to the miscellaneous other races that are basically bipedal animals that you see in this episode.
Here is a map of the world if you are interested: https://preview.redd.it/my-attempt-to-reconstruct-a-world-map-thoughts-v0-ry03vgp2yh0c1.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=134c742b7165f9b88676e5d1c3d32f291f4f8f83
Eris flipping out cause the first present she ever got from Rudeus was damaged really shows how much there relationship has changed from when they first met.
They did in fact make a langue for this, its not gibberish, it uses Japanese as a base and replaces words with Zulu words from Africa or slightly altered words.
Rudeus did not worry about money in his previous life because his parents kept paying for everything for him even when he was an adult.
Rudeus is looking at it from a modern viewpoint, you dont just kill someone who kicks you nowadays, that's why he was so shook, to him Ruijerd killed that guy for no reason.
