Right? So much crying in Anime doesn't hit for me, unless they do a decent job and the music hits. Like she said the music can be more impactful than the visuals, and the combination of the VA and everything in this episode just hit it out of the park. The Dub is decent but the sub was just much better for me personally.

That crying was so goddamn realistic, it's EXACTLY like a person would cry and speak at the same time in real life. I can't imagine the VA didn't actually cry himself during recording.

Reading comments from time to time, I feel the anime sometimes fails the source material. I get that there are different approaches and time limits and everything, but it sucks a bit. (Like the girl with not many clothes do it on purpose to take away attention from the other girl)

@@sqxbarto9229 I feel like it's getting the stuff it needs to.

not enough stuff @@angrybrony

Another thing to add is Vierra apologized to Paul for dressing scantily, thinking its what caused Rudy to think that he was cheating. The reason for her dressing that way is because she and her sister Shierra (the shy mage) were also victims of the teleportation incident and became sex slaves. Her sister never got over the trauma and cowers in fear when men look at her, so to keep men from looking at her sister, she dresses up as a bikini warrior. She purposely humiliates herself just so her sister doesn't feel terrified. Paul knew all of this and was even more pissed at Rudy for making that comment in the first place.

​@@sqxbarto9229its unavoidable. From what I heard, the author Rifujin works closely with Studio Bind to make sure the adaptation is as faithful as it can be. I recommend reading the books, a lot of small details get glossed over in the anime such as POVs. For example Sylphie's POV when she saw Paul throw Rudy into a horse carriage, she got so protective and almost killed Paul with a very dangerous spell.

im starting to think geese is the man god

@@jebes909090 lmaoo that'd be a twist

Close….

@@insa3596 Why the fuck would you spoil this? What joy does it bring to people to spoil stories for people?

Don't forget Rujierd. He dropped some bars in this episode and also controlling Eris who was becoming really strong at this point was no joke.

@@bizarrosorcerer True, but hey if AoT can insert weird ass humour with the Annie Pie scene, I'm willing to give MT leeway as well lmao

@@bizarrosorcerer it's supposed to be that way

@@bizarrosorcerer Yeah among those coming the next two are definitely the weakest. But I give them props for the heartfelt moment and nice twist at the end when they split. Also they introduce another contender for best girl (if only she got more screentime).

@@bizarrosorcerer Zenith is in a league of her own, that's for sure. Most of the times when I think about the show I remember her smug face when she learned that Rudy can use magic. 😄

@@bizarrosorcerer yea but goddam the last three ep is so good

Nah, this is the episode where i understood the core theme of Mushoku Tensei the most: Redemption. Take Paul, this is a man who is known as a womaniser, who people know as scum, but when he has a child he really tries his best to be a father. He tried to be a positive role model for Rudy, that strength should be used to protect, but he slips up every now and again mostly because Rudy teases it out of him, but you can see him trying. The thing with him cheating on Zenith with Lilia is kind of scuffed in the anime because when Lilia said she was the one who seduced him, it shows an old fashioned way to seduce somebody that makes it seem like it was still all on Paul. The light novel doesn't say how she seduced him, simply that she couldnt contain herself. But Paul did cheat, and nearly destroyed the family because of it. When Aisha and Norn were born we get silly scenes of him pulling faces but those show just how much he loves and cares for them. And finally after the mana disaster, despite the two hellish years he went through, he protected and cared for norn, even though he himself was drowning himself in alcohol. Paul has problems, he has flaws, but he is just somebody trying to be a great father to his children, and wants to do the best he can. He isnt irredeemable. The same applies to almost every character in the show. Eris starts off aggressive and violent but really comes into her own during the adventure. Ghilslane has already completed her journey of redemption, she started off just like Eris This isna series about how people can be redeemed, and the star of that story, is Rudy. Somebody who has so many vile aspects about himself, he is quite literally a P3d0. But over time he gets better at maintaining his urges, and despite him not having his character arc in the show yet.

Wasn't he just barely able to contain it?

@@georgets7266 From Rudy's POV: His face was distorting and crumpled. A fully grown man shamefully broke down in tears and cried. "Sorry, I'm sorry, Rudi..." Somehow I ended up crying as well. I patted Paul's back and after a little while we both were crying. Just like this, after roughly five years I was finally able to be reunited with my father.

@@astorlefflinker8417 thank you

Why was he put in prison then?

@@CaIamity_ go watch the show.

@@sahil1017 I’ve seen it, it’s just I don’t remember the reason why he was jailed

@@CaIamity_ Basically he has an acquaintance in that village and asked that acquaintance to get himself imprisoned to help Rudy escape

@@ichbin3287 okay thank you. I wonder why Geese never ended up telling Rudeus that

It's a lot more than just "cheated", but yes, I agree overall

@@hundvd_7 yes and no. Knocking up the maid and marrying her into the family is bigger than just infidelity. OTOH, she admits she initiated during a time when Paul wasn't sleeping with his wife because this world somehow believes you can't have sex while pregnant. Paul is actually really faithful other than that, even turning down Elinalise back when he was and Zenith were just dating (I probably spelled Elinalise wrong). I'm not trying to excuse Paul's infidelity, it was really scummy of him. I've just known a lot worse cheaters in real life

@@baalzamon3593 I don't just mean knocking up Lilia. (Which is definitely somewhat excusable) We also heard about how he basically raped her in her sleep when he took her virginity years ago. And also, Talhand and Elinalise immediately reply "Scum" when Roxy asks them what Paul was like. And this is coming from the elf so horny that would she'd be banned from shooting porn for enjoying it too much.

I'd agree, but please... no spoilers 😠

@@hundvd_7 I have not heard that he graped and took the maid's virginity while she slept. I struggle to believe she'd become a maid for and initiate sex with a man who had done this unless there's a lot more to the story than what you're saying. I suspect that Elinalise called him scum for turning her down.

Rudeus cried here as well , It just showed the facial expressions right before he cried, implying he did.Obviously they’ll “show”more emotions in a LN , they’re different mediums.

I pretty sure he was on the verge of crying but not like cry out loud at least that is what I think ( also I read from web novel)

Me too, I am afraid that they will not be able to fleshed out the sences after the Teleportation Labyrinth. It hit really hard with Rudeus's monologue. I thought he almost went mad.

Also Rudy also stayed in town for a week and had awkward family dinner with Eris Paul and Norn. That was amusing. Norn hates Rudy and Eris hates Paul.

@@dragonnsv9710 guess who else hates paul? Pretty much all existence in that world I guess

@@Sulfat_lol nah, honestly in reality no one hates him to the point that they despise him, after all Paul is a reliable person that will come yo your aide whenever you ask him to, he's way better than most nobles and official persons, he's scum but he's trying his best to become a good father, he's not a good role model but he's trying to be at least a good father figure. There's just a certain reason why he's hated by his own party members but even then they are still helping in the search of his family

@@slippy47 yea bro I love paul I was joking lol

Yeah...

The light novel is god tier

You'll love it 10 times more once you get to Volume 15 and further, it was an amazing experience holy shit

@@FirstnameLastname-gs3ow yep it's so fucking good, I can't wait till the anime catches up in like 10 years 😭

Maan the light novels are addicting....I barely managed to stop reading in order to study for finals lol. Can't wait to continue with the web novels after exams

@@Tochaa18501 I've read both the web novel and light novels twice now 😭 they're too good to just put down coz you wanna keep reading

Double uploads definitely keep me busy but not overwhelmingly so! Chestit 3ti Mart I na teb! ☺️

nope rudy is not mentally an adult, our mentality is determined by brain patterns and neurons he is 100% mentally a 12 year old. memories do not dictate mentality

@@houseofaction Exactly. I detest the false equivalency that reactors make with the whole "bUt hEs aN aDuLt 35+" the only thing that carried over are *memories* from his past life. Physiologically, physically, hormone wise, and if we were to dissect Rudy's brain, he would still be an 11 year old child! Memories =/= mentality.

no spoilers.... at least have a warning.

@@Xantheus07 his comment sounded like a cheeky means of tearing Paul down rather than a spoiler. But now that you said something, I know otherwise

Tbh even his rationality is very questionable cause why is bro thirsting over 12 year olds 🤔

They will as studio Bind was made to adapt the whole of mushokou tensei but yes I agree the story's main focus definitely is family (don't wanna say anymore because of major spoilers)

@@khizarhayat808 imagine after they finish the story they do a movie or 3 part ova of old dragon tales

@@God-ec8ni I wouldn't be surprised if they did, i swear they said they want it to be a long running series with lots of ova's and movies.

The possibilities are endless

Yea this show can have 4-5 season of 23-24 depending on how they adapt it.

I think it's good to think a bad person can have redeeming qualities. Or vice versa that a good person can have deplorable qualities. Life is rarely so black and white as fiction usually makes it out to be

ah yes, Luicelia, best girl

this name could be construed as spoilers, but so long as no context is given ever, we should be good
