21:40 the anime didn't explain it, but the pheromones that a Succubus emits make (almost) all men lose their sense of reason and makes them attack other men in their proximity or seek out the "companionship" of women around them. The effect can only be dispelled with intermediate detoxification magic or after having intercourse with a woman, which is why warrior groups on Bergaritt all have at least one female member. Ps: According to Paul, Succubui are the natural predators of all Greyrat men

Cliff's proposal was its own scene right before Rudeus went to Nanahoshi in the books. Elinalise was so moved that she declared her undying love for him and threw him on the floor. Rudeus left the room by the time Cliff's shirt flew off. By the time he got back to the lab, Cliff was a mummy and Elinalise was like a weeping Venus, declaring that she can't leave her man for two years. Hearing of the shortcut got her to immediately reverse her decision to stay.

In Sid Meyer's Civilization, Ghandi is the psycho leader willing to start war (including nuclear war) in a heartbeat. In the first game, this was because of a bug... they set is warlike value so low that in the computer's number space it wouldn't take very many modifiers for it to "wrap around" in number space to be a very high value. Players thought it was so funny that they kept the "bug" and deliberately made him super-warlike in later editions of the game.

Sylphie is part elf, we can assume 1/4 elf cus her dad was the half elf. But whatever ratio, her elf genes are dominant lol.

"Turning Point 3 is a little underwhelming." Light Novel readers bracing themselves for the next few episodes: 👀

Came here after watching the conclusion of the Zenith rescue mission... Haven't watched any of your videos in a while so I'm looking forward to THAT episode. Glad I found yall again

This episode was 9 chapters condensed, lots got lost but it's to give more space to what's to come so i'll allow it.

"Masochistic Painful Spider-Sense?" Oh, come on! What could POSSIBLY go wrong? I think the Man-God was bluffing!

A bit of worldbuilding details, now that the anime finally shows a map of the Central Continent and the Begaritt Continent: the Triumvirate is on the western part of the North, with the Kingdom of Asura to the south of it, over the mountain range. Fittoa was on the NE corner of the kingdom. The land east of Asura is the Strife Zone, a land of numerous small countries constantly at war with each other; Ghislaine, Philip and Hilda teleported there during the Displacement Incident. The peninsula on the south of the continent is the King Dragon Realm, a rival power to Asura and Millis (itself over the sea to the east of the KDR). Those small dots to the north of the KDR point out the capitals of its three major vassal kingdoms (south to north): Sanakia, Kikka, and Shirone. Passing to Begaritt can be done two ways: from Asura by ship, skirting the islands, or from KDR's East Port. Going from Asura means longer travel on Begaritt itself, but it's faster. Begaritt is the second-most dangerous continent in the world, after the Demon Continent itself. The huge mountain range splitting the Central Continent in three is called the Red Dragon Mountains, and it is utterly intraversable to people due to the Red Wyrms spread there by Demon God Laplace. Laplace also wreaked havoc with Begaritt by spreading Succubi from one corner of the continent to the entirety of it. No group can ever travel without women warriors in the desert now. Women are unaffected by Succubus pheromones, so they can easily engage and kill the monsters. And then take care of the pheromones' after-effects on the men by sleeping with them, if they don't have a healer who can cast Intermediate detoxification on them. Rudeus is lucky that he's traveling with Elinalise and that he'd learned Intermediate detoxification in the university.

Maybe it was just edited out for the YT version, but if not, I suggest going back to the moment they teleport from Sharia to Begaritt and pay close attention to the few frames where they're actually teleporting.

Going forward, keep that point about inheriting the professions/positions of one's parents in mind. It applies to a great number of characters in the story going forward. Most clear examples so far are Cliff and Aisha. The anime likely won't show it, since we're leaving vol 11 behind after this episode, but around the time Rudeus reaches Rapan, Norn has started to frequent the Millis cathedral in Sharia on the daily. Cliff uses his free time there to study, but when Norn broke down while praying one day, Cliff talked to her and offered guidance. Cliff is furthering his knowledge in magic at the university to become more powerful on a personal level and he's attending to priestly duties at the church to build a career in the clergy, following his grandfather's (the current pope) footsteps. Aisha was trained from birth to be a maid.

"Masochistic Painful Spider-sense" 😂😂😂

8:40 it has to be semen her body needs regular injection in order to turn the magic building up inside her into valuable magic crystal if she doesnt get semen she will die thats the curse. PS Sylphy is human/elf/beast. Her dad was part elf part beast her mom was a human.

IIRC in the LN, the problem with travelling by night was that it was when the monsters were most active.

Woot!

In general hes not wrong for saying Turning Point 3 is different not action packed it's not intense in the same way. But for Rudy and those around him it's still a big, big deal. First turning point was like a world calamity almost. I know it did not affect the whole world but in some ways it did. The second turning point Rudy almost died, learned a lot from Mangod, and it was the catalyst for Eris leaving. So yes Turning Points are more for what comes next after them.

"You've been on the road for a day." The society has a taboo against sleeping with pregnant women, and Rudeus received the letter two months after Sylphie's pregnancy was announced. Add to that a couple of days Rudeus waffling about going, a few days to prepare, and a five-day ride to the circle. Paul didn't even last one month on Zenith's second pregnancy... And Rudeus was addled by Succubus pheromones. They're the natural enemy of the Greyrats.

About the whole Rudy sending a guild for help etc? I honestly forget everything Rudy thought about or considered in the light novel? He could very well have considered that in the Light Novel. He thinks about so much and you get to hear all his plans in the Light Novel. But regardless of if he does or does not. I think one of the reasons he may potentially have not gone that route is because we are talking about a 2+ year adventure. (And no way Rudy could tell them about the Teleportation Ruins since it's very forbidden.) I don't know if he has connections to local guilds in that area? Local to Begaritt or whatever. Why would Paul and them not already enlist the help of local guilds if that was a possible solution? And I can't imagine the cost to hire or send a guild or even a small group of people. You want them to be S Rank and preferably trusted. I bet Rudy and gang could come up with the finances to possibly afford that. But it is probably pushing the very limits of what you can hire a guild to do. I feel like a lot of them would decline that. Have to be really good money. And it's still a dangerous proposition. That said I am going to re-read the whole book fairly soon. I will absolutely be interested in remembering what Rudy decides and why in regards to possibly sending help. My thought process could be way off I forget.

Elinalise’s body requires semen for the curse

Idea of the week: have three more videos playing in boxes around you guys to overwhelm the user and really make them your waifu: have a live gaming screen, a viral recipe cooking stream, and a Bonerje camera.
