Please keep up the cut content series it’s always very interesting to see what the anime didn’t show

They call it controversial yet Naofumi over here whistling as he slowly walks away from being a slave owner himself.

As long as we're taking a deeper look at Sylphie, I think one of the most significant but underrated moments in this episode is when Rudeus points out to her how normally she talks to him, in contrast to her reputation for being very quiet and shy. If we recall the line from episode 3 about how Rudeus needs to find someone who he can fully trust, the same thing applies very much to Sylphie (thinking generally, not just romantically). The last key to Rudeus moving on from his depression will be finding someone he can really open up to and confide in (Suzanne and Soldat both provided important help, but in the end they're still people he'd only just met). Sylphie is one of only a handful of people in the world who could fit that bill, who can truly make him recognize that he's not totally alone. Thinking about Sylphie, though, she really needs the exact same thing. Keep in mind, Sylphie has been living this assumed Fitz identity for FIVE YEARS at this point, literally a third of her life. Day in and day out, she has to suppress her own identity and focus on being Fitz, always on guard to make sure she doesn't slip up and give herself away. I think that's also part of what's going on in the LN chapter that got skipped. Sylphie is struggling with the psychological issues of having to maintain the Fitz identity in public while not losing her own - those early morning hours might be the only time where she feels she can "put aside" the Fitz persona and just be Sylphie for a bit. In those circumstances, of course everyone around her sees her as shy and withdrawn - she can't ever form connections with anyone else because of the risk involved. The only two people who do know her true identity are her friends, but they also clearly have their own agendas which she is little more than a pawn in, so she can never completely trust them. Now, enter Rudeus, the person she can absolutely trust. Even leaving aside the romantic aspect, it must be a huge relief and a ray of sunshine for Sylphie to finally have someone she can let down her guard around even a bit, someone where she isn't forced to parse every word through the filter of not giving away even the slightest hint of her secret. Obviously she hasn't taken the full step of actually *telling* Rudeus her secret yet, but she can at least interact with him without the prospect of letting her secret slip seeming so terrifying like it is with everyone else. So Sylphie has fallen into interacting with Rudeus in a more normal way; I mean obviously she acts familiar with him because she *is* actually familiar with him, but it's important to realize that Sylphie hasn't been able to interact with *anyone* in that way since the teleportation incident.

18:31 I do have a different interpretation of Rudeus' question to Julie. I don't think Rudeus genuinely wanted to die in his previous life, and I don't think it was an issue of giving Julie a choice that "there was no one around to give him". I mean let's just go and say it: if a person in the level of extreme emotional distress that Rudeus was wants to end it, they don't need someone else to do it for them. My read is that, at least now in hindsight, Rudeus has realized he didn't actually want to die, and guesses that Julie doesn't either. I think he offered Julie the option of ending it as a bit of reverse psychology to make her face the prospect of death and realize that it *wasn't* what she wanted, and that she could still hope for something better.

I am surprised how Zanoba tried to name Julie Julius was not mentioned. It is the first time it is shown how traumatized he was when he killed his brother. Up until that moment it was never thought to be an accident. The light novel goes into more detail.

She didn't defeat them one on two, she defeated their group of about 20, and the two.

Rudeus and Sylphie take part in the Global customs!

I think the manga handled the scene with Juliette the best. Something the Ranoa university arc really does in the manga is show just how different Rudy’s personality can be when he’s serious vs. when he is relaxed. This scene was the first to me that highlighted that. In the manga, he didn’t seem as soft as he did in the anime. Sylphie even reacted to the question he asked Juliette despite not knowing what he was saying because his demeanor changed so much in a split second. And then the way Rudy quickly reacted to Juliette saying she doesn’t want to die by putting his coat over her and carrying her away also just highlighted that admirable side of his character in a way the anime didn’t really convey in my opinion. I understand the differences and why they were made, but my interpretation of both scenes was completely differed because of a few small, key details

Rudues is heavily gifted, its just not always spoken. For a magician to reach rank Advanced in a life time its considered not without effort. Its not something which can easily be done, and you need a certain level of natural talent to achieve it. It was said in the light novel something like 1 in 40,000-50,000 Advanced rank magians will ever reach Saint class which Rudues is currently. Its not something unheard of but on a person to person scale borderline impossible, which only really happens on a global scale. Than there is also the issue with parties, just because a party has a high rank doesn't mean everyone in the party is that good, they are that good as a group combined. There are certain people who could easily wipe the floor with an S-Tier party. There is just a difference in skill between an S-Tier adventures, and S-Tier parties in generally.

it would've been nice if the anime explicitly told us that sylphy's parents died. it would've made her choice to stick with the princess and not look for the missing people of the town more sensible.

Regarding Julie, in the manga Rudeus knows from his own past how pointless it would be to give her a role/tasks that she had no interest in and ultimately if she wanted to die, he would grant her that at least. The manga panels hit a lot harder than the anime showed but generally speaking Rudeus' offering was an act of kindness which I think some people missed from watching the anime alone. Thanks for these videos, they're genuinely some of my favourites on KZfaq.

When is anything not controversial on “X” 😩

TBH, Julie will become everyones favourite. She Is sooo hella cute. But you are right, The Manga did, (despite the fact that it actually brings its on twists and comidic scenes) a phenomenal job on portraiing Julies dispair.

This was legit today’s episode 😂

@AniNews Regarding the Sylphie addressing Fitz as a separate person situation , I seen it more as her addressing the “image/persona” of Fitz all while still addressing the “Fitz” next to Ariel as still a literal separate person. By that I mean seeing how powerful “Fitz’s” image is to everyone and how well known “he” is, that even just the sight of him could probably deter some assassins. And so, given that princess Ariel possesses a magic item that allows someone to change their appearance into someone else, the person across the room may either be Luke himself or another attendant, disguised as “Fitz.” Not that it would be very convincing if someone looked close enough, but it still would probably be a valid deterrent, and if it fails than they’ll just ring the alarm and fight normally either way. So when she refers to the “Fitz” across the room she’s referring to the “image/ persona” of “Fitz” as well as the person underneath the disguised.

The newest episode goes into the morning routine

6:51 this one is extremely important since it would bring internal conflict to the other woman but knowing Slyphie's thoughts about the future of their relationship

Sounds like this episode was meant to be more gut wrenching near the end and more "cultured" round the beginning and middle. Can't wait for the next one!

I love your content for the soul purpose of giving us more of what we already love. Sometimes, 1 episode per week is not enough. Your cut content episodes fill that void and I'm thankful for it.

This whole arc builds so much to the over all story and if u don’t love Sylphy by the end of season 2… why?

Slavery has been a part of human history for at least 6,000 years, all known peoples in history either were and/or had salves at some point, and slavery still goes on today. In fact, owning a slave was the norm all over the world up until the 1900s. So for people to be shocked or act like it is controversial is due to their own lack of knowledge, especially when it is not our world which has changed its values and morality over time. Rudeus & Sylphe saving a girl from slavery is actually good.

I don't think Rudeus really wanted to die back then. He took his only friend for granted in his depressive state and after he yelled and kicked him out he had every intention to apologise after he came back, but he never did. The isolation that he brought to himself through that act and his already shit mental state made it really hard for him to reach out, assuming that no one cared for him anyway and he thought it would be better to die. What he did for Juliette was to show her that he was willing to end it for her, but if she had just one spark of hope he would give her purpose and a life that she didn't think was possible. He knew that sometimes you have to hold a mirror up to someone else's darkness. I think it was more of kindred spirits. One who has passed the darkness and one who was deep into it. Who better to pull you out than someone who knows what it's like.

Its a shame that these episodes are too short to have all of this. I would really like 40 minutes instead of 20 for each episode. But still this is the best isekai I know.

Your videos add so much depth to the anime series I love. They fill in the gaps, like helping me understand Fitz's strength compared to Rudy. The extra details on characters and world-building are not just entertaining but incredibly valuable for true fans of the show. Keep up the great work, and thanks for enriching each season!

This video is the breath of fresh air i needed from all this LTT drama lol.

Love getting more context on what happens. Thank you for this.

at 3:26 its luke disguised as fitz. who ever wears the glasses is fitz in that moment the princess often wears the disguise when she wants to go out with out being recognised

thank you for making these informative videos documenting missed parts in the anime. It really adds up to my mushoku tensei enjoyment. 💖

I love your videos! They are so good. I have read the web novel and absoletely loved it. It easily became apart of my top five series ive ever read. By you doing these cut contents it brings back memories and the feelings i felt while i read it and i love it

Thanks brother, love this series. I look forward to this nearly as much as the episodes themselves. I'll take more content however I can!

please carry on. I enjoy this very much. After each episode I know there's gonna be a Video from you. Its like watching the episode an second but extended time. Your skipped content is just as an routine like waiting for Sunday for a new episode. Just as it has been with Overlord. Your videos are making the wait so much more enjoyable. Thank you ❤️😉👌🏻

Been feeling sick lately. Binging your content has really helped man! Thanks for this 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

I look forward to this every week

How interesting that so much of the first half of your video was in the most recent episode. I’ll have to come back in a few weeks to see if the rest was simply out of order or actually cut content.

Great content and commentary! Thanks!

Looking forward to your cut content series! Very nice.

I didnt even know the episode was really controversial until some youtubers made videos about the supposed drama. Guess it just shows how little time i spend on "x" these days.

I knew this episode was gonna cause some shit when it was basically a whole episode of buying a slave 😂

Great video, and good take on rudeus feelings about the despaired juliette and all the credit goes to the author for making such a good series in the first place. Keep up the good work 👍

Love your recaps normally a lurker but since im early just want to say thanks for your content!

the two things i look forward to every week is mushoku tensei episode release and these videos. I love these as much as the anime itself. thankyou for making these and entertaining me so much

Your videos are like cherry on top... please continue!

I needed to let you know i appreciate your work. This shit ain't easy but you continue to drop fire. Salute

Love all the cut content got me to acctully read all the manga of every anime you have done

Love verything you cover! Specially Jobless Reincarnation !. You're so meticulous and energetic about this and as a fellow faboy it truly warms my hearth! As an admitted anime only most of the time is always great to have these recaps. It really helps put things into perspective and it has encouraged me to check out the LT. THANK YOU! Please hit me up with a comment! Your content is a breath of fresh air man!

bruh i gotta just read the LN lol thanks for making these man!!

eyooooo another nice cut content. thanks keep it up

Always love your content!!!

Thank you for the video.

Thanks for filling in the blanks!

It’s better to just ignore Twitter opinions lol As always, thank you for this cut content series!

This vid made season 2 episode 7 intro feel like déjà vu.

Excellent video pimpin always always 🎉🎉🎉❤

These are my favourite videos of the week

Love your videos man

i love your videos. keep up the great work :)

I just laughed really hard just a minute ago when I saw you spoiled the next episode without knowing it.

A yes Mushroom-kun, Lord Rimuru's sworn adversary. Also listening to the guy in the streat talking about how bird people rule the world is still a lot smarter than listening to the anime complains from the folks at twitter.

Watching this after watching THIS week's episode and realizing I'm a video behind and that the "missed content" must have been pushed back an episode because Sylphie's Day starts this one.

It doesn't have to be "I Want To Live" , sometimes "I Don't Want To Die" is enough

Thanks!

This is definitely very useful at least for me because I'm just too lazy to read the Light novel version, please keep it coming!

I'm always sad during the anime off season because of the lack of anime coverage content on KZfaq. You're easily my favourite KZfaq channel to watch while doing the dishes or making supper❤

Good Video,Iwish you good luck.

I can not get enough of this show!

Damn, it's really impressive what all the light novels have and include, and the anime series still manages to feel "complete" and whole without, but I have to admit, I really would've liked if they would've tried to fit in just a few more quotes found in the LNs that this video mentions.. I guess that isn't really something that should be surprising or anything new. I've experienced this before with numerous other works, but yet it always manages to surprise me again. But if they could've just taken literally like 2 and a half seconds maybe? Each of these lines, I really feel it would've helped flesh out the world/characters and help viewers get an even better idea and understanding of them. I didn't recall it being mentioned that mana capacity was the problem why he couldn't make figurines. Maybe I just missed it. But even if so, I assume they didn't include the fact Rudy's mana pool is exponentially higher than previously expected, and him personally coming to that realization himself, as a surprise. "I don't like the idea of you training a slave over me" - I didn't even think about this angle of it when I was watching it, but totally makes sense. Rudy thinking that it wouldn't be such a bad gig to just make figurines all day for him and keeping that idea in his back pocket just incase, I don't recall this being mentioned either, and also, obv, really makes sense. But most importantly, the idea of mass producing them, even painting them, and selling them bundled with a book, as a source of making serious, mad income. That's a fucking brilliant idea. I really hope they mention that in a future ep. That's one of those rare ideas I feel like is a perfect bow on a series and wraps everything together nicely, and allows you to justify why a character has so much disposable income or can afford something otherwise unattainable. Instead of just "Oh, I got a bunch of loans from friends in high places." like I've heard in other series. Which, I guess works.. But it's a lot cooler to see them rely on their own intelligence and having a legitimate revenue stream, instead of just calling in favors. Financially at least. Utilizing your social connections to call in a favor better suits stories of like, asking X person to be at Y location for story purposes, instead of just "Hey man, can I get a loan for the sake of plot?"

This is like the 2nd part of the weekly episode for me now

Dunno why, but seeing Princess Ariel's smiles in the manga strongly remind me of Monica from DDLC. Also these videos are really helpful for getting more information in the series. I also love your work for my personal favorites Shield Hero and the underrated anime Arifureta. Keep it up dude.

because of you i actually start the manga and ngl since the start of s2 I prefer the manga than the anime, the tiny detail gives so much difference

8:07 "He could defintely see how Fitz she was" LOL good wordplay

it was an amazing video, but now that the new episode has aired, I have a little critique. In the early part of the video you talked about the skipped chapter. This chapter however got adapted in the nex episode so it became an unintended spoiler (although minor). I know it goes against the whole idea of the series, but could you consider refraining from talking about skipped chapters and bigger portions of the novels as the anime seems to be adapting some things non-lineary such as the scene with Rudy's mother in the last episode of season 1 and now this. I honestly do not know what to suggest in terms of how to classify a scene as "skipped" and what would appear later on. Nevertheless, I would be thankful if you at least think about it. Keep up the great work with this series

I promise you people will re-watch these when waiting for season 3

Began reading the like novel after episode 1 or 2 of season 0 and already at volume 9 chapter 5. Honestly my first light novel and im loving every second of it. Still watch these to refresh my memory either way.

thank you

Thanks

Love this show

With this combined it feels as though we get 2 episodes of mushoku tensei a week

Sylphie having a wet dream is something that definitely should've made it into the episode. completely inexcusable that this was left out.

Watching this I realized it wasn't skipped. ...It was just covered a chapter after.

I really like the way you present, usually i am wary about watching any videos about a show i am following, since spoilers massively ruin the fun for me. So you not spoilering future content while still explaining that certain behaviour/scenes is great :)

@AniNews please continue Arifureta cut content season 3 has been announced to be in production!

The dream caught me off guard

LMAO what did you just say..?? 8:05 is that pun intended lol.

3:40 I was so confused when reading this part of the LN !!! I was sure Fitz and Silphiette were one and the same and here they are two totally different persons!!!! 😅

THE LOCAL CUSTOMS

This is literally this weeks episode

could u please start a series about 'The Irregular at Magic High School'

Please talk about "the painting under the bed" 😂

Anyone wanting more Mushoku Tensei I suggest reading/listening to Old Dragon's Tale there is an audio book version on youtube but it gets into the whys of the world and some of the underlying characters that why see not very often that are crucial to the story like the Man-God, Perguius, Orsted, and even Laplace (not why he has 2 forms though)

Okay now it makes sense. When he offered to kill her I wondered why Rudy so quickly jumped to that offer but seeing her manga state it makes sense

I see the whole thing with Sylphie and Fitz as her compartmentalizing the Fitz persona as someone separate to herself in her own mind.

The Fitz part in the chair hurt my Brain when I read it, it made. No sense and I had to read it 4 times and still was confused

it has been 0 days since twitter was outraged by something they dont understand.

Will you make the isekai quartet season 2 part 3?

the manga also depicted rudys face when offering the "mercy" option way better. it's a dread only those who have experienced can truly sympathize with.

What I still wonder is what he would have done if she had replied. With a _yes_ He surely knew that this would have massive consequences...

19:00 I did have the same understanding as you did regarding Rudeus's offer, (I don't want to spell it out, for not want to stigmatize your comments section to KZfaq algorithm). What I can say, IMHO, the offer was not of malice nature, same as you mention, now that he have the power to grant it; whereas in his previous life he or other would be bounded by the norm. I'm not glorify or defending his action, it just that he had experienced it, having the ability and willing to offer "option" to whom in despair wanting the option.

The Sylphie story details were cool

I just read the Sylphie chapter in the book, and boy was it confusing. It also made me realize that you are essentially narrating the chapter, but I don't mind! The simple, conversational writing style works well for reading aloud, and you sprinkle your own commentary in here and there. It makes it a great companion for reading through the novels!
