For any one blaming rudy causing Paul death for being stupid at middle of the fight. Read this. You see that in novel, the hydra use it headless necks to distract other while the main head focus on taking down rudy because he is the most dangerous one. It fast and attack on rudy blind spot so he couldn't dodge it. Anime didn't make this scene so rudy accidentally become the one causing paul death and get roasted every where ------------ I did not understand what that movement was. Although my Eye of Foresight displayed this movement, I didn’t understand it. It was too big. “Idiot!” “!” Before I notice it, Paul pushes me away. Immediately before me, I feel something huge pass by. Certainly, there are no heads left. No, that’s not right, It’s not that it was “without a head.” It just happened to be “headless.” The Hydra swings its headless necks around like a rose whip. Eight necks, Covered with hard scales like a grater, it was a bundle of necks. The body shakes, and all at once, it moves in a sweeping motion. “Rudiiii!” Paul shouts for a second time, and kicks me back. At the same time, with a colossal sound like ‘daan’, something falls right beside me. Something, I immediately fall to my knees. At the place where I am, Between Paul and I, “U, uoooh!” There are eyes in front of me. The eyes of something at its wits’ end, The eyes of a cornered beast, The eyes that try to find a way to survive until the very last second. The eyes of the Hydra. From around the area of the forehead, something like a horn appears. “OOOOOOOOOooo!” On reflex, I immediately thrust my left hand into the eye. Together with a ‘guchari’ sound, a burning sensation transmits up my arm. The Hydra’s eyelids closes. The eyelids, wrapped in scales, closes shut, like a guillotine. Simultaneously, I fired off a [Rock Cannonball]. As the Hydra’s eyelids shut, the Hydra’s head burst apart. At the same time, I feel it jerk upwards. After the jerk, I hear a ‘pop-crack’ sound resound in my head. “R, Roxyyyyy!!”

Thanks for the recommendation. Hearing Paul’s inner monologue was crushing. Even though Paul was a d***head, he was a good father. And the fact that Rudy will never hear the words “Stay Positive” from Paul was extra hurtful.

What crushed me about Paul's death was that he still had so much left to do. His journey was ended abruptly with no satisfying conclusion.

that's like reality hitting you. you won't have time things will happen and wont wait for you. that's what Paul's death means and this is turning point 3 for a reason.

Goddamit they don't show these details 😢

Thank you for clarifying! The way Rudy just froze confused and annoyed the hell out of me

​@@simo04gr38its almost impossible to recreate ln adaptaion perfectly since ln have a lot inner dialogue. imo MT is in a good hand studio despite everything

@@ximii132 agree, I still think the studio is doing a fantastic job, this is just one those unfortunate moments where different mediums don't translate well to each other

@@simo04gr38yes that annoyed me too because Rudy is supposed to be fast enough to deal with attacks from a sword saint like Eris with his demon eye and Paul is certainly saint level these days yet Pauls speed and reactions were so much above Rudy here.

​@@OompaLoompa211 Paul was not a terrible father and saying he got his ending because he was a terrible father is stupid

@@noelighedo4923 He was terrible person, but I fully agree he was not a bad father, he was great one even. (Especially considering what he did after the mana disaster)

​@@noelighedo4923 He told Rudeus to save his mother even if he had to die. That's something a good parent should never say. Maybe it's some kind of punishment for what he said.

Because paul is a terrible person. What he said is terrible but what he meant is he has faith in his son that he could save his mother Paul is not the best but a good father.​@@NihoniumNH

@@NihoniumNH he literally acknowledged that and only said that because of the severity of the situation, he literally says that's not something he should say. He only treats rudeus like that because he thinks rudeus can do everything, do you think he would have allowed norn or Aisha on this trip with him even if they we're rudeus's age? Offcourse not!!

😢😢😢

and this was why this episode made me cry like a baby

And the coincidence for me is that my dad passed away 10 days after this ep released which it made me sad.

@@oppmxdlmao454 i'm sorry to hear that man, hope you're doing well

@@oppmxdlmao454 rip to your pops bro

@@oppmxdlmao454My grandmother passed away recently, I know what it's like... I'm sorry 😢🖤

Paul is a swordsman and has his physique built upon years of experience, and he's probably also instinctively circulating mana akin to using Walmart touki. If anything, props to rudeus for doing his job properly and keeping up with Paul.

I think its more the fact that Rudy as doing near-perfectly fine for the first 80% of the fight, but suddenly froze up at the most critical moment. The reason Paul's reckless rush got overlooked, is because he was able to handle his own despite that recklessness. Of course it wouldn't have lasted forever, but if anyone else had rushed that hydra like that, they'd have been slaughtered.

@@DaGamingDuelist someone says that rudy didn’t froze, but more specifically, he couldn’t keep up with the speed. Plus, the hydra went for him because the original attack rudy made was apparently as strong as the one he used against the 4 armed guy. So being an intelligent creature, the hydra went for the strongest but not as experienced one. The hydra was desperate to survive. The anime just didn’t translate it well because apparently there was too many internal dialogue and wouldn’t work as smoothly in anime.

You wylin with the best father in anime You forgetting the fact that being able to set out a good example and be the role model of your kids is one of the requirements to be a good father. He became a great father but you wylin with the best father.

Calling this man the best father in anime is Wild LMAO

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here, he wasnt the best father, not by a longshot, but that was his charm. The thing I love most abt him is exactly because he wasnt very good at being a father, but still tried very hard to become one. Paul grew up w a shitty father, ran away, tried to be a better dad than his father, but failed multiple times due to generational trauma. A great character.

​@@simo04gr38 one of the best. He may cheat on his wife, beat the sht out of his son and kick him out of the house when he was 7. But at the end of the day, he learn and do everything he could to find and protect his family

@@BaoVietsubTV that cool and all, but he was still a a shitty dad for most of it, him learning to be better and developing with time doesn't mean he is a better father than a casual normal caring dad. (He also did a lot of shady shit in his past)

And that is not the worst thing in whole story.

You just know him losing his father physically, losing his mother mentally, and him losing the left hand (Hercules) would warrant such a catastrophical change in his life that the title would be one of the Turning Points but it isn't. It's like Zetsubou Sensei, only at the final last chapter is it revealed what Turning Points actually are.

Man im not ready for the next turning point...

He is a mage and has a habit of hesitation when someone approaches him fast and swiftly, as early as when Rudy received swordmanship training from Ghislaine, he never managed to overcome this weakness.

Patreon members get it early

@@slimshazy2819 Yeah I know. Just surprised to see that Roshi's reaction is already uploaded here before Roshi uploaded in their own YT channel

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Idk why bro has mushoku tensei scheduled to release on Wednesday, I’m trying to watch the reaction asap😭😭

you are right. the hydra whipped around it's headless necks to distract rudy and then attacked him from a blind spot that he couldn't see even with foresight

but yes it's always active but i think it's only three seconds ahead or else he gets sick

He can see ahead even far beyond if he put mana enough, but he got nausea if he sees more than 3 second. Rudy can turn on and off his magic eye.

it was too sad 😢

Me too, I think they stream it somewhere. Maybe youtube video will coming in few more hours

The person making these videos subbed to their patreon.

lol people gonna be raging on the next episode 💀

Its going to be interesting to see how many people drop the show after next episode

Well there's a reason why this is called the father of isekai. Because since way back where this is only getting popular in the light novels some of the isekai shows that we have so far are getting their inspiration from this.

I can't really remember much isekai MCs losing their hand besides Rimuru who doesn't feel pain.

@@dontmindme3103holy glaze bro 🍩

lol other isekai mc would got their hand fully healed back after 5 seconds losing it, but not for rudeus 😂 Thats why its different

​@@dontmindme3103i hate how people said this is father of isekai even though there's good isekai even before this created like mondaiji tachi & zero tsukaima.
