Ed: "Roxy can be such a major agent of change if she positions herself correctly" Roxy:

Ed: Roxy, you can't back down. You have to push forward. Roxy:

Eris did not consent to any of this

I support polygamy, because in this economy two incomes just ain't enough anymore.

I like how Ed says Roxy you can't back down you have to push forward And then Roxy did more than he thought

I love how Rudeus was able to go from seeing Roxy purely as an object of adoration, perfect and without any flaws at all. To realize that what he always felt for her was love, she was literally her first love and luckily, he was able to recognize that.

Every time he brings out Erinksen's development theory I'm reminded that I literally failed all my stages of development lol

Polygamy is the norm for that world. Polygamy used to be the norm for this world. Everything can be good or bad. Though, if can be actually hard to not project your current belief system on a story, as a viewer.

1:24:27 Rudy is handling this a lot more maturely than his dad. His dad fucked and dipped then kept it a secret until it was impossible to do so. Rudy is being open about his feelings and is going to be upfront with Sylphie and ask permission.

18:08 My favorite moment "In an appropriate manne-"

40:00 Wow. As an older dude, who still idolizes those times in my life where consent came mostly from non-verbal and assumed sources, Ed cleared up so many ways to describe it that I hadn't been able to. I see so much talk amongst the youngest of adults of "consent," in that every action MUST be vocalized and get a clear verbal response. That sounds like the most terrible timeline. I believe that it'll talking was required, Half of my romantic/sexual relationships could have never happened. Between my self-deprecation and with how I ended up attracting many shyer women, the second either of us stopped to rationalize IF we wanted to do what came next, someone would have flipped and thought of some imaginary reason why it just shouldn't be. One of the greatest joys of my life was when myself or a girl I was into made the move to go in for an unexpected kiss. Sure, there were times, on both sides, when it was a no-go, and that was that. However, when it was the right call, it would lead to greater heights and satisfied choices.

Hey Ed, I've been watching your mushoku reactions since the start of the 2nd season. This show and these reactions combined have helped me realize my deep-rooted social issues. As crazy as this sounds I'm really grateful. PS. love your content!

Been waiting for this Ed. Great content and analysis as always!

Elinalise trying to be a good friend, she knows it was Roxy's first time and how much shes hurting. She travled with Roxy the whole demon contenet looking for rudy, gets a wish from the Demon Empress - uses it to find rudy & family, then spends years helping his family So yeah id imagine Elinalise feels its unfair to Roxy that she misses out on happiness because she spent 30 episodes helping his family Another great conversation btw love the vid

I freaking love you man your the goat of MT reactors and man hearing your explanation always put a smile on my face these hours of vids is always worth the watch ❤

1:58:12 my prediction for Eris. She’ll have a tiny post credit scene the way Sylphy did at the end of season 1. I can imagine her ranting about how amazing Rudy is to some new friends we haven’t met yet, just like Sylphy did with Ariel and Luke.

No matter what camp you fall into concerning how you feel about this episode the great thing about the story is that there are just as many camps with the characters in the story when they find out about it.

Ngl I cried 3 times during this episode when it aired. Really made me think from the consent discussion and can't wait for the final episode, gonna tune in if I can

Rudeus is so lucky in his second life. I hope I'm that lucky in my next life. Ever since I was a kid, I never got along with other people so I stayed to myself. I even kept distance from my own parents, to be fair they fought and I was constantly either being sent to foster homes or other family members. After my dad died 2 yrs ago, I realized he tried to make up for me having a bad childhood by showing me love, but I never showed him love. I've been a shut in since he died.

1:18:08 Of course there wasnt room to get out of it. Roxy even admitted it that she took advantage of him while he was down. lol

Was planning to just watch more apothocary diaries reactions, but this dropped at the perfect time lol

12/5/1901 the rat was born; then at an age greater than 1 he founded the Disney company at 10/16/1923. So hear me out its going to be Dec 5 or Oct 16 when the episode lands revealing the rat. How funny would that be Walt Disneys B day is the day the rat is explained.

1:06:29 WIZARD STOP WIZARDING, YOURE SCARING ME WITH YOUR WIZARDARY

Quite the insightful analysis.

Elinalise basically said: Sylphie has been my granddaughter for 16 years, but Roxy has been my BFF for about 20 years

42:00 Condemning Rudi having sex to alleviate his pain here is like walking up to someone drinking at a wake and slapping a drink out of their hand.

3:55 I cried a lot when my grandpa died when I was maybe 12. I think I was the person who dealt the worst with it from my family. I and my two younger brothers never lost a close person before. But they got over it very quickly. They didn't really realize the severity. My youngest borther was only 4, so of course he couldn't understand it. And my other brother was 9, and also was pretty stupid. He first thought, my mom was joking, when she told us. I was only lying around in bed for almost a whole week. And the week before wasn't much better. We visited the hospital everyday, but we weren't allowed to visit him in person. So I ate some ice and waited for my mom to come back. Since then I almost never felt sadness again. And I never cried again. At the funeral of my grand aunt, who visited us at every birthday, maybe 5 years later, I felt nothing. Everybody was crying, but I just couldn't understand them. They felt kind of stupid to me. That's how I realized that I probably lost my ability to feel sadness. Some years later after I finished school, I got depressed and sometimes cried without a reason, it helped me relax and then I felt better. But that didn't happen a lot. Only a few years ago I started crying again, but only when watching movies/anime.

OMG I was mentioned because of that Twitter post lol

DILLO GANG RISE UP One thing I'm looking forward to next season, that I haven't seen talked about anywhere, is "My Wife Has No Emotion", a romcom in which a lonely salaryman gets drunk one night and asks his cooking robot to be his wife. From what I recall of the manga, despite the claim of emotionlessness, the wife in question is one of the _smuggest_ characters I've ever seen, and I really can't wait to see how they attempt to convey this in animation.

New here, and enjoying your takes. I've read the LN a little past this arc, but I enjoyed how they did in in the anime, Roxy took the initiative, rather than being convinced to do it in the LN.

Elinalise Prepped Roxy - She says the only way to fix him is to get laid but they are months from home and he won't make it like this. Roxy suggests Einalise but she wont because Cliff. Lilia can't. Noone will. Roxy takes it into her own hands after she asks everyone. Elinalise didn't think she would actually do it, and was just kind of down in the dumps about how they were going to get him home to Sylphie. Afterwards - In that campfire chat Elinalise told Rudy that Roxy was *late* and was probably pregnant. In addition to all the other stuff she said. The late part is a lie that he doesn't learn is a lie until AFTER confronting Sylphie.

I feel like I’ve gotta point out that Sylphie DID say a couple times before this that she was okay with Rudy taking another wife so long as he introduces her before hand so she can approve or not. Gonna counter point myself though: Rudy did promise not to. So that shit probably gonna hurt her anyways.

I expected your reaction because you're the realest you get it

Never back down 😂😂😂

cant wait for next week. no way am I gonna be able to wait for the next season. I'll have to read it

2 hours of good content

Da da Dan is definitly one you should check out. the duet protags are just nuts... and there's Turbo Granny in it.

One thing I think we did not talk about is the lack of wine in that scene. I think this meant they wanted to show a parallel between Eris and Sylphie but not use it for sex in general.

49:05 It was Roxy's first time, and Rudi felt terrible the next morning, and the rest of his life, for tearing into her. He was nearly as vicious with Roxy as he was with Sylphy, while on drugs.

25:33 Wow! This is a really useful chart.

Paused at 25:06. I agree with the big message. I have shared burdens only to feel more burden... I have tried to include others only for them to fail to understand... sometimes rawdogging it is easier. Now the reverse is true also. I am not being pessimistic only recognizing that no one thing is always true. My mom I cried immediately had a bunch of family and friends and I did the impossible and cried at her death, when I was genuinely concerned I was to stoic to cry. My Grandpa... well he died offscreen in a sus way... long story short it was out of his personality to kill his pet but he did as well as himself. He was a marine he should of resisted the void better than that. Mostly over his and mainly good with it. My Dad on the other hand Died on my Birthday Last year and I do not feel I cried for Bob yet properly; some tears with his friends that were with me at the time and had informed me. My old kitten... yeah she had a good wake Played some good songs to send her off with but she died in my hands basically over the case of one day... not really over it but I do not feel it can be better.

Is the Rat something like “Your greatest enemy is you” kind of thing? because I have been seeing glimpse of multiple timelines (or more commonly as a multiverse) because that would be amazing.

Whoever you are in chat "saltyterra" 23:51 you made me bust an absolute gut laughing lmfao

I’ve seen this how many times and it still breaks me seeing Roxy like that 🥺😭

1:32:02 not for the reason you think lol

FUN FACT: the title of one of the upcoming chapters is "Carnage"

I believe in the LN positions and styles are mentioned but the body parts and actions are not.

01:45:25 glad you liked my comment there, i immediately thought about you when seeing the meme XD About this ep: I thought the ep was very good, they screwed up, both Roxy and Rudy, they know that, but it's also a fact they love each other, they know they made a mistake of doing it before Sylphy knew and they will wait to see if she approves before becoming a couple, and that was it, right? I felt bad seeing Roxy in that state, knowing she messed up and having the person she fell in love be an "Impossible love" for her, fortunatelly the GOAT Elinalise helped, for real, i really grew to love Elinalise as a character, i love her true friendship with Rudy

1:28:24 "Don't let the MAN(god) hold you down! Cheat on your wife. Just DO IT."

I wish we could see summertime render its amazing but underrated

PeakTensei🔥🔥

Am anime only. I think the rat is zenith, she was in the crystal controlling the monsters here brain is a dungeon guardian now. but out side of the Labyrinth th guardian does nothing until it makes a new connection controlling monsters and guiding them towards them. Rudy: how do the monsters always know our location? Lilith: there must be a rat

5:50 No one tells me that I shouldn't cry, but I still avoid it a lot of the time because of how uncomfortable it makes me to lose control of myself like that. 1:22:43 I personally have no problem with the idea, and I think that if you can make it work, great, but it's just not for me. I am too prone to jealousy to tolerate it.

one counter argument to "if your putting it in there" is to keep it simple stupid method of telling things. For example I once saw my mom in the middle of some act. Its true I did... but its also true that even at that time it did not fully register as my brain did auto censoring to protect myself. I remember boobs and that's about it. I remember the time me and my cousin were camping out at my Dads spot near the border of Oregen and Washington called Diamond Peak. We went on a walk. My half wolf half Newfoundland Pup Sneakers was going alongside us. No leash or anything. It had been a good amount of time and we decided to return to camp. Along the way we heard a howl... thinking it was Sneakers we howled back imitating them. It was about the time we had done this a second or third time that we saw Sneakers step out the trees near us and it hit us... we had been summoning wolves. We booked it the last bit back to camp; I do not remember seeing any of the wolves. I trust certain memory and not others as I remember details so I feel sure about it.

People be forgetting that Sylphie already said yes indirectly couple episodes back.

Good video❤🤗

I can't understand the name of the guy ED talks with towards the end.....if you know can you guys please give me his youtube channel name?

My sister was murdered literally this month, Saturday night, waking up to this I was in shock, disbelief heard my brother saying sorry, it took me a while for it to sink in, not only this but when I saw reaudues dad die, I fucking ugly cried so hard and yelled in agony, only because I know that exact feeling, I'm still in shock In a way trying ti distract myself,but I hate the dude who did this just acting like he did nothing wrong, my arms and hand do get numb as I hyperventilate

Paused at 1:06:58. Best doggo is here.

Shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan

1:51:41 with all this rat hype, it really easy to get disappointed when it actually happen, like some certain goat in overlord But im quite sure it won't

I didn't eat after my sister's death after a while I had too but honestly your just so messed up you can't feel hungry just grieve

6:03 I think the main reason that adults don't want children to cry is because it's annoying. And sometimes they came up with better reasons and children believed it and told it their children.

Turns out, Roxy was the groomer all along

See, Ed is a PERFECT example why I wish the studio hadn't cut nearly all of the exposition for why what happened in this episode happened. No chat with Geese, Elinalise, and Roxy about how sex tends to help a man turn back to like. Showing Roxy as the aggressor when it was actually Rudi who took the final initiative and took her. No story about a man from another world who locked himself away..... And, worst of all, they don't show how Rusi took Armadillo Buddy home as a Greyrat pet!!! 1:13:41 Oh, and the anime doesn't show what Elinalise "tells" Rudeus. Manz the cut content really disappointed this episode.

If in IRL Roxy is going to jail still right?

54:47 ALL of this sounded so damn awesome, I'm going to join the Duscord right now, finally. There is SO damn much good sounding content!!!

and after finishing the video I gotta say..yeah omg you're so goated this makes up for all the shit I've been through in discussion the past few days 1:37:24 And thank you

This comments are so funny 😂😂

I don't know what the "rat" is!? Don't worry I'm not going to spoil but at the same time this comment is not for ED regardless of spoilers. I thought I knew what this community was memeing? But now I'm unsure? I've read the entire LN. I thought the "Rat" was referring to one of two possible things if not both or maybe more? I don't know how to word this as I have no intention of spoiling anything but I'm hoping this community can answer my question in a vague way! But I have no idea how to ask this or get answered subtlely? Okay I 'm going to ask this in the least fishy or spoiler way possible and I only really want like a yes or no kind of response. ED stop reading even though if I do this properly this should mean virtually nothing to you anyhow. Is the "rat" situation or thing or event A) Have to do with the color purple? And no I'm not describing a person. And B) Does it also refer to something else almost completely unrelated but involves a man riding/sitting on another mans shoulders/back? lol If ED can figure that out that he deserves to spoiled for being a super genuine. Kidding! But no seriously this is not for ED. Finally the "rat" event or thing has nothing to do with Rudy and Roxy sleeping together in this episode it's not related to polygamy right? Unless there are MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE rat events. Like his name is Greyrat.... So like the rat event is also Rudy sleeping with Roxy etc. So I can see this being a trolly meme were we try to fit the code word Rat into various events to come etc. lol Maybe you can see why I'm confused.

If this was between Eris & Roxy, I could see the dilemma with Rudy. I can see Eris being pissed. But since it's Sylphie, I don't feel any tension. It's honestly one of the reasons I don't like how she is written. Sylphie has done nothing but give Rudy everything he wants. To the point where her most defining characteristic is being his wife. I'll be shocked if she refuses his relationship with Roxy.

I assume this is a stream and i understand theres a break down in things, but turning a 40 min max reaction into 2 hours for a youtube vid is a bit much for my blood. Im here for it and all just understand much of the talks were skipped. Myself and other people cant really sit here for 2 hours for a 22 minute episode. Nonetheless much love for what you do.

Sadly the author confessed than he was forced to make changes to make more "acceptable". They cut the part when Geese and Elinalise talk in a bar about make feel better to Rudeus, Roxy even don't understand at first. So the idea to Roxy pushing Rudeus doesn't make sense at all, it's something than Roxy will have never do, and it goes agains the character. In the novel after Roxy hugged Rudeus, she tries to take distance but Rudeus stops her. He felt calm when he heard the Roxy's hearts beats and her smell, then he pull to her. Then Roxy make the proposal to do it, obviously Rudeus is stupid so he doesn't understand at first. Roxy says that she heard from Elinalise about that, she was babbling nonsense after that. Roxy even tries to leave the room but Rudeus take her word and push her. All was more about emotions in that moment, all Rudeus' frustration. He let it out in poor Roxy, he was too rought, probably she probably had bruises. Obviously I didn't expect they animated Rudeus technically r@p¡ng Roxy to feel better but they changed Roxy's actions to something than she wouldn't do, worst episode adapted so far. They tried to blame Roxy for all to protect Rudeus of more controversy, that was cheap, Roxy even didn't get a good time, it really must have been sucks for her, it was her first time but she endured the pain, and she knew than probably she would be hated. She deserved better.

1:12:10 Somebody has to impersonate mangod on twitter and actually rant about how he hates what happened in this episode :)

Hey I made that meme 01:45:13 am I famous now?!

Well, looks like we are back at Volume 7 level of adaptation. This episode should have been at least 1.5 but for a good job they should have been 2

21:28 Instead of "I understand what you're going through." I find "I can't know just how you are feeling right now, but I feel as though I could relate. I'd like it if you shared with me what you're thinking now." to best most likely to get a positive response.

1:22:14 As a polyamourous person, I get to see so lottle of this in media. That's one of the reasons I adore 100 Girlfriends!

But is it not true that nonverbal cues are easily misidentified...? Because in my case I do not get it. I get verbal cues better and yet your trying to use your interpretation as everyone's right... doesn't that ignore people normal does not apply to but have equally valid rights? It just does not sit well that someone could be misunderstood but live with a family on the way despite having never actually wanting it. Holding hands should not be a lead toward sex... something with irreversible consequences like sex is. Kissing back I accept but his not fighting her I just saw as his deppression robing him of actual being able to understand whats going on enough to allow choice. I do see it as Roxy forcing herself on him but note the dread R word. More so borderline SA. I know and we know from Rudy that he wants it normally, so a pass from the start.

My biggest let down in this episode is Rudy's inner thoughts about how he wasn't Paul's son but Paul was his father he went so deep into that that it broke me when I read that and Rudy getting gas lit into thinking Roxy is pregnant just to push him to ask Roxy to marriage there was so much small almost insignificant things in the moment but are so big to understanding how much Rudy has grown and changed also it would be devious to end this season with the rat or with a tease of eris doing her thing

Yeah trust me no one wants Oldeus.

50:50 unfortunately some people conflate not giving consent to the consequences with not giving consent to the act itself. It's a very vile way of trying to escape responsibility.

This whole segment had so much skipped content that you should really read the chapter to see all of the removed stuff cause the novel version is way better

Not actually disagreeing with you but wanting a better understanding of the picture here. Is not the fact he is so grief striken in itself grounds to consider Rudy "unaware" of events... locked in his own mind and just puppet mode? I mean he seemed like agreeing to anything was just his vibe... vulnerable in that way. In otherwords is she not an adult with a minor due to his mental age possibly dropping from grief? Imean Roxy is Rudys total age from both lives added together. She is robbing the cradle and a cougar on the prowl.

Mushoku Tensei is about growth not pedos! Meanwhile the 50 y/o forces herself on a "16" y/o depressed minor ^^ but it's OK since they're both technically 50 y/o

...Sorry, did someone mention sangry ex?

Ed: Roxy can be such a major agent of change if she positions herself correctly Roxy:
