Season 3 hype!!

10:24 "You take the balls, I got the shaft" had me crying. I had to go to crunchy just to check it wasn't true. Props to the editor

THE “You take the balls I got the shaft” EDIT GOES HARD AF LMFAO

Yall forget from the end of season 1 where Eris screamed from a literal mountain top that she loves Rudeus and wants to get strong enough to protect him?

some points to consider for the discussion 15:18 onwards: a) It's shown much more explicitly in the light novel that Rudeus' "love" towards Roxy is still mostly admiration, before gradually developing into genuine love rather than how sudden it feels in the anime. Probably the most important novel-only scene that shows this was a conversation where Rudeus reveals his past life (without saying it was him) to Roxy, and after some discussion Roxy helps him move on from his mixed feelings regarding the mistakes he made. b) After sleeping with Roxy, Rudeus still was intent on leaving her behind, but Elinalise lied and alluded to him that Roxy had gotten pregnant so as to further convince him into not leaving her behind. c) Sheera's point is valid based on what the anime shows, but when Roxy approached him it'd been over a week since Rudeus had eaten; he actually would have ended up dying of starvation if they left him alone. Only Roxy had seen how scared and unresponsive Rudeus became at his lowest, whereas the others had only seen the confident mage prodigy who seemed mature beyond his years. d) This is also highlighted in the final scene at Paul's grave, where Rudeus talks about how he'd just been using his past life to act mature, despite his mental age still being the same as his current life's physical age (keeping in mind that he never developed mentally past the age of 13-14 in his past life due to hiding away from the outside world).

10:20 "You take the balls, i got the shaft" IN THE SUBTITLES WHAT?!!! 😭😭

Something that was skipped from the Light Novel is that Elinaise told Rudy that Roxy was pregnant even though she isn’t which may of led to Rudy having to take “responsibility” of Roxy which may have led to a better reason for his actions(even if they are still wrong).

17:06 I mean to be fair at the start of the season Rudy was one Soldat kick away from giving himself a tracheotomy with a dagger

I totally get it from the anime only perspective. The anime does not do the Light Novels justice, but that's just how it is. As for why the anime made it seem like Sylphy is used to the idea of Rudy probably bringing another woman comes from her time with Rudy's family as well as her time aside Ariel. She saw Paul and his relationship with Lilla and Zenith. Even she spent a lot of time with them while Rudy was educating Eris. Then there's Ariel. The anime left a lot of that stuff from the Light Novels. While she was alongside Ariel, she was surrounded by many nobles that were polygamous. Both noble men with multiple wives and noble women with multiple husbands. Luke Greyrat had an harem of his own which was only very briefly shown in the anime compared to the Light Novels. She had been witness to polygamous relationships ever since she met Rudy's family. It became normal in her eyes over the years. I just wanted to mention this at the very least as the anime over the past 2 seasons hadn't really done much with this part.

Turnover Point 4 really turns this story from "a fairly good fantasy story" to "One of the best fantasy stories ever written."

Y'all three: "ion want Rudy to have a third wife, that's too much" Me: *waiting for Rudy to bag his third wife* lmfao

"you take the balls, i got the shaft" IS CRAZY, HELLO? EDITOR?

Dudes, Eris literally left to be ready to protect Rudy from Orsted xD

The best way I can explain Rudy's love for Roxy is that, his admiration towards her CLOUDED his love for her. The anime lacks A TON of context but basically, the time he had with Roxy and specially the deed made him REALIZE(he didn't immediately fell in love to her like how it was portrayed in the anime) his love for Roxy. They also actually had a lot of time together in the Labynrith City and went shopping a lot which wasn't mentioned in the anime(except that one time they bought the roots and sword). All in all, the 2nd half of season 2 is the most rushed as of now. I was actually expecting this part in the ending of season 3.

Rudeus got the half elf and the blue hair lady before Subaru HEHEHEHE!!!!!!

17:10 no he wouldn’t. In the light novels, it was made clear that he was going to die. He couldn’t eat anything. He would just throw it up. Roxy literally saves his life. He was just gonna die of starvation. . Just clear this up forcontext

Elinalise said "he'd get over it" but she doesn't know Rudy that well - he was not going to get over it

Poor Norn must've felt like a crazy person even though she was the only one making any sense lmao The fact that we still don't know what the regret part is scares me too, waiting till 2026 to find out will be torture.

I know most people might be conflicted about the whole two wives thing (which I honestly don’t blame them for) but I’m lowkey kinda wanting to see how this will work out and if Sylphy is cool with it than who I’m i to judge.

I scrolled down a bit to see if the original discussion of 'Rudy's reasoning to marry Roxy' was touched on much and didn't see but a couple of snippets. Suffice it to say, the Light Novel just has more content that explains states of mind, perspectives, dialogue that was cut, etc. ((This is a big info dump of explanations of unseen events and unheard dialogue, spoken or thought. There's youtubers who cover this and this info is spread around in smaller comments already, the one I'm thinking of at the moment being @AniNews. No need to read my post, I'm just summarizing what I can.)) 1: This is the most important point for viewers to keep in mind throughout the rest of the anime as well: Rudy is what's called an *Unreliable Narrator*. This is a narrator who is either intentionally deceptive or unintentionally misguided. In this case, Rudy - throughout his storytelling - lies to himself and, thus, to us. This is part of his character as a flawed human being; he was not a mentally healthy person going into this world and much healthier folks lie to themselves regularly. Rudy subconsciously distances himself from the concept of parentage. He considers his mother as just 'a mother I happened to be born to' and his father as 'a flawed man - basically younger than me - that's kinda a bad father'. He tries to not care about his mother and shows little respect for his father. But this is lying to himself (and has a lot to do with the death of his real parents, which would take a lot of analyzation to explain). Instead, we can see that after Eris left him, the memory of his mother was what pushed him forward. And now we can see that what he thought were his feelings about his father were wrong. His father's death DEVASTATED him. He refused to eat or leave his room. He refused to speak to anybody and didn't even register others' presence. Asleep, he would have nightmares of Paul's death, while awake he would spiral in thoughts of how he failed and questions of his real parents and his grief and regrets from then. He was caught in a whirling quagmire of horrific nightmares and self deprecation. To put it into perspective: he was mentally worse off after Paul's death than when he was stripped naked and tied to the school gates during his bullying, growing close to the point of death by starvation. 2: There's a lot of cut dialogue leading up to Roxy confronting Rudy. Mainly about how many options the party brainstormed about resolving his condition. The one they were sure of was having someone sleep with him, but Elinalise refused (and then had to explain why to the party, revealing Rudy's marriage), and the party decided prostitutes wouldn't get through to him. So they gave up and figured he'd be fine. Roxy still believed in the idea because, based on his isolationism as a child, she knew he wouldn't be able to find his own way out. When it came to the action, there was more dialogue as well: Roxy explained how a friend of hers died in the past, too, and how she could share the grief. This was important for 2 reasons: It showed Rudy that he could eventually recover from this, however hard and long the road would be. It also let Roxy frame her advances as a way to assuage *her* grief at losing Paul, a party member, which was bringing up memories of her other friend. She was preying on Rudy's empathy in order to pull him out of his lethal depression. 3: This one is big: Elinalise told Rudy that Roxy was pregnant afterwards, while traveling back home, when Rudy was being indecisive. He was leaning towards taking responsibility for having done it with Roxy anyway, but Elinalise lied about this to push him over the edge. Elinalise is as much Roxy's best friend in the story as Sylphie's grandmother, and she wanted both of them to be happy. In a world where Monogamy is the minority, she saw a second marriage as an obvious and simple solution. 4: When Sylphie claimed that she 'knew it was only a matter of time before Rudy brought back another wife' and explained it was because of 'how dirty his mind is', that's only half the actual explanation. I find it sad they left the rest out: she thought it was only a matter of time before he _did it with another woman_ because of how *perverted he is*, whatever the circumstances were, but the reason she thought he would _bring another wife home_ was because she knew Rudy is responsible and honest enough that *he would try to do the right thing*. And, to Rudy, that's probably going to be 'taking responsibility'. In fact, Sylphie was correct - Rudy thought he had gotten Roxy pregnant, so he decided he would take responsibility. And he didn't try to beat around the bush or soften the blow or explain until after he had made his intentions honestly known right from the start. She explained it like this to show how much she accepted and trusted Rudy, even through his rather obvious flaws. 5: There's some time jumps in the last bit of the episode, so I'll fill in a generalized recap of how Rudy's time went after bringing Roxy home: *he was in the dog house*. He also had a self-imposed celibate period as punishment for himself, and took his betrayal of Sylphie's trust by breaking their promise extremely seriously. 6: As we can all expect, Rudy is not going to stop there. It's pretty obvious what'll happen, but the how will be a journey we all get to experience. Just keep in mind: _Mushoku Tensei is about a flawed human getting a second chance and living his life always trying to be a better person._ He will never be perfect and he'll make mistakes, lie to himself, and fail over and over again because that's the point the show is conveying around Rudy's character. And despite all that, he's still a good person because he is always trying to be a good person.

Congrats your Sylphy evolved into Mylphy

So Sylphie accepting Roxy was slightly elaborated on in the LN. She was actually happy it was Roxy since she was expecting it to be Linia, Pursena, or Nanahoshi. Sylphie is actually very insecure when it comes to Nanahoshi although Rudy has no attraction to Nanahoshi whatsoever.

13:48 "Some men, just want to watch the world burn" Roshi is the embodiment of chaos bro 😂😂😂

Let's not pretend like Rudy wanting to marry Roxy is really that much of a stretch. He was worshipping this girl his whole life, and credits her with saving his life in his youth when he still had his adult mind that needed healing. He probably always saw her as an unattainable fruit, but when put to his mouth, is it really so hard to believe that he wouldn't want to take a bite?

13:47 roshi on demon time as always

Rudeus entering Fatherhood: Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Rudy out here collecting his Powerpuff Girls ass harem 😭 he got Buttercup and Bubbles he’s just waiting on Blossom next

I cant wait for the switch up when they see adult Eris lol

If rudy brought nanahoshi as the second wife. Then there would be a problem

Yeah in the novels Roxy pulled a "I'm pregnant" trick on Rudy and that was why Rudy decided to marry her, but anyway Actually the way they deal with Eris is pretty cool, just hoping they do the Oldeus diaries justice

Rudeus asking the rest of the party to stay like he's not about to unleash a nuclear drama bomb in that house.

Norns VA going crazy this episode

Rudeus was like: Yeah, we lost a family member, so I brought in a new one😆

so, clarifying some points that you guy said at the discussion, by some information i got from some ln readers: -rudeus was killing himself after paul's death. he stayed 10 days without eating or barealy drinking because of his depression. -despite in the anime elinalise said to roxy that "rudeus would be ok", actually the opposite happens: elinalise and geese were very worried of his situation and she was the one who said that sex is what would fix rudy, and *she herself* proposes roxy to do it. -after that elinalise felt guilty about roxy's situation. she knew that roxy dreamed of finding her perfect match, because of the time they spent together. so she pretty much persuaded rudy to marry her by saying that roxy hadn't started her period, and that she might be pregnant, not to mention the chance of someone taking advantage of roxy if she separates from her lover.

Norn's reactions this episode almost made me tear up fr

I wasn’t surprised Rudeus slept with Roxy while Slyphiette was pregnant with their child and then wanted to have her as his second wife. He’s like Paul in many ways, like father like son I guess.

13:48 Roshi wants a Turning Point 1 Redux 💀

19:00 I believe yall are underestimated his ptsd and the compounding trauma. Rudy went blank and almost offed himself after sara. Despair may lose grip on the strings but those hooks are embedded forever.

Anyone else see that edit with Sylphie telling Roxy to take the Balls, and I got the shaft? 🤣🤣🤣(10:22)

-Milfy- Sylphy really grew on me this season, both as a character and as a anime waifu in general. Rudy's lucky to have such a compassionate, understanding, open-minded and, let's be frank, cute wife. Loved seeing the detail of Roxy and Norn holding hands during the birth-scene as well. This family will be alright I reckon.

Its kind of frustrating to see people bashing on the characters based on the anime alone. Its obviously not their fault that the anime didnt explain things fully, but it'll just make it confusing to keep the two continuities separate. In reality things are so much more fleshed out in the Light novels. 17:15 The problem isnt that Rudy couldnt get over Paul's death given enough time, its that he wasnt eating and barely drinking any water. They would have most likely suffered casualties in the desert if they had rushed Rudy in that state. The party agreed that they needed to give Rudy space to grieve+recover, but only Roxy knew how Rudy dealt with trauma in the past (balling up and refusing to go out of their home) that she knew she HAD to do something to change his state of mind. It was never her intention to take Rudy away from Sylphie for herself, her intention was to help him snap out of it, but like she mentioned, she isn't a saint, she had feelings for Rudy and acted with those feelings of love in mind. Even the scene with Sylphie is different, she actually snapped at Norn to stop berating Roxy, despite her good intentions Rudy and Sylphie do not worship Millis, and Sylphie has plenty of experience with polygamy, from growing up with Rudy's family to working under Ariel and having another Greyrat (Luke) as an example of what to expect.

NAH your editor is hilarious for putting "you get the balls, i got the shaft" that had me rolling in my bed 🤣

6:00 This is kinda random but I really dig Lupa's social intelligence. It's funny/interesting because he'll miss huge plot points sometimes but immediately pick up on tiny character interactions and "read the room" type stuff.

Norn: how could you take another women?! Paul in his grave: cough cough

Spoiler below: “Is he gonna see Eris and be like hey I want to marry you too” About that

I loved this episode, well, this whole season, it was incredibly good and i hope it doesn't take long for a season 3. Norn was indoctrinated by the church and was grieving for Paul's death, so it makes sense she would lash out, especially since she usually is very vocal about things. I also liked that Sylphy didn't care about it and accepted Roxy with open arms, after all like she said it herself, if she and roxy had switched places and Rudy was like that, she would 100% do the same thing Roxy did, and we all know she would, since she knew that was a way to cure Rudy and did that herself. Some may think it was convenient, but it was not out of character for her tho

There is a lot of inner dialogue that was skipped in previous episodes that gives a lot of context on how much the death of Paul affected Rudy, how much he struggled to overcome that situation and how long it took (a couple of weeks) until Roxy helped him accept the outcome of his trip to rescue his mother (this isn't regret, but depression). About the decision to make Roxy his wife , there was also some content that was skipped, particularly something that Elinalise tells him. There is also some dialogue and some of Sylphie's inner monologue in this episode that was skipped. Sylphie already thought that at some point Rudy was going to bring another woman (she thought it was going to be Rinia, Pursena, or Nanahoshi), and she has accepted that possibility since then. The surprise was that it was Roxy and not the others. Also, she was way more stern when telling Norn to shut up, saying that she wasn't even mad and that she shouldn't be insulting Roxy. When she accepts Roxy into the family, they promised to treat each other as equals (no one is the first or second, both are Rudy's wives).

The item in the room at the teleportation circle looks like it's Dragon God Orsted's jacket. Since he knows where they are and does use them.

Norn said "Take yo grown ass back to the streets" (I don't hate Roxy btw) I don't wanna get on her bad side 😭. I loved this season overall though. Rudy about to have the RGB collection after season 3, I can feel it.

Yes, the anime didn't adapt some important things like Elinalise telling Rudeus that Roxy was "pregnant", this really gives Rudeus a push to take responsibility, taking Roxy as his wife. This is not a spoiler, as it should have already been shown. The anime simply didn't adapt this part. Furthermore, the relationship pattern in this world is quite polygamous, except for millis followers. Love the anime anyways🙆

"If he does that with Eris.." My guys, if you have seen the cour 1 OP you know exactly what's going to happen.

Silphy's mind set is like that because polygamy is the norm in this world, for her, that's normal and acceptable, only Milis followers believe otherwise. I find funny how people gets upset by that.

Rudeus is collecting all his Starter Pokemon, has Grass and Water, only Fire is left.

season 3 is full of surprise. can't wait for you guys reaction. ERIS COMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sylphy had already talked about Rudy taking another wife, Rudy was the one originally against it. Remember, she was practically raised by Paul, zenith and Lilia, she was comfortable with the dynamic. ALSO, she was not the type to lash out at Roxy, so she sat back and let Norn do it for her lol. Only stepping in at the end once things had gone far enough.

Can't expect a emotionally damaged human to be in control of his emotions Roshi. The reason Rudy can't let Roxy go is she was the reason why he healed his fear of the outside

gotta catch 'em all

As Rudeus said, he loves them differently, but equally. Sylphy is his first wife, but don't think that this will make him love one more than the other

Bro went dark “nah I need something to fall from the sky and blow everything up

16:35 Fr. As a LN reader, I agree where Roshi is coming from regarding the reasoning behind marrying Roxy. Especially with the weaker story provided in the anime. I hope that future seasons will bring the other characters’ perspectives since it fleshed the story out a lot more in the LN.

Season 3 is going to be so 🔥 🔥🔥

only person i can think of to teach Norn the sword is Eris

The world Rudy is in rn, Polygamy is not so uncommon, on top of Sylphie grew up watching Paul and his two wives, so it kinda make sense

"you take the balls, I get the shaft..." AYYYYY FFFFFYUKIN' YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Loved this season

to anyone who has a problem with Rudy's polygamy just drop the show and stop crying about it

All I’m gonna say is bulbasaur, squirtle, charizard. Gotta catch ‘em all

No spoilers just to say after this kind of wholesome moment, on Season 3 " is where the real story starts progressing " y'all not ready.

Fun fact, I'm the novel, while happy over the result, Rudy was devastated over the fact Syplhy had ZERO faith in his staying faitful

Rudy isn’t supposed to be a perfect character who does the right things every time. The man is literally said to be a lolicon at the beginning of the series, Rudy being selfish with his desire to marry Roxy is the point. Just because the characters in their alternate world are able to justify all of it doesn’t mean we’re supposed to. Rudy is a realistic character, he started off incredibly scummy, and he’s a better person at this point but he’s not magically perfect now. He still has a lot of maturing to do.

No one said the Regret has to be this season.

I had just read about recency bias like twenty minutes before watching this. And then two minutes in, Sheera mentions recency bias. Lol. My mind is blown.

17:00 nah, he straight up probably would of died, like his depression was DEEP and he hadn't been eating etc, the animation only shows so much of the story. I know you guys joke about "what if she meets someone and wants to marry him too?" lol, guys, this isn't the present day of equal rights, this is the past where the man has the say not the woman, the guys have all the options not the ladies, just saying 😆

Kinda scared to watch this cause i know sheera is not happy lol

The best thing about this story is that in the grand scheme of things Rudy is not the main character but a pivotal character to the main work plot and story

Considering how much of a brute Eris is towards Rudeus, and the fact that she went off far away to make herself stronger, I feel like she's just gonna force her way into Rudy's circle like "marry me or I kill you". xD I wouldnt even be surprised if Eris does become the third wife. Rudeus's "Shrine" all consists of stuff that belongs to his wives.

The author must have spent a lot of time trying to figure out the f to justify Rudeus and Roxy

Just so you guys know in this world being in a monogamous relationship is actually rare. Only one religon practice it that religion is called Millis and that just so happens to be the religion Norn, Cliff and Zenith believe in (this is why Norn gets so mad even though Paul did the same thing) but other than that its pretty common for people to take on more than one partner this is why Sylphy was so ok with taking on Roxy as a second wife. Also Sylphy knew the moment she got with Rudy that he would stray because as she mentioned he has a high sex drive and is a pervert (this is actually common in all Greyrat men just look at Paul and Luke) Sylphy is actually more afraid of Rudy getting tired of her and leaving her then she is Rudy taking on another partner as that again is common not just in his family but in the society the live in minus the Followers of Millis.

Remember, Sylphie grew up with Rudy, she would always be over at his house and around Paul with his two wives in Zenith and Lilia. Sylphie knows Rudeus and she has heard the respect and adoration in his voice when he spoke of Roxy, she expected something like this would happen.

I can’t wait for season 3 can’t wait for what’s in store ahead no one is ready for the wildness

Yeah this is such a bad representation of polygamy. Sylphie was basically forced into either accepting it or leaving, just like zenith was.

How is it a problem if Rudy potentially has 3 wives, but Tengen can can have 3 wives and no one objects to that? At least we get to see how Rudy's relationship with Sylphie and Roxy progress wvwn if it is a bumpy road.

There's so much I want to discuss but can't until next season unless I want to spoil stuff 😢. This was a good season, looking forward to your reactions to the next one!

i think a lot of people forget the fact that rudeus and roxie’s relationship is very similar to sylphie and rudeus. roxie is the one person rudeus respects the most and at the beginning of the season sylphie essentially thinks of rudeus in that same light.

For those thinking Rudus got off with no consequences naw he definitely has one. Norn. He went through great lengths to win her trust and respect only to taint that with this situation. While Syphy ultimately had the final say Norn probably has residual resentment and respect issues going forward same way Rudy was with his dad after finding out about Lilia.

To maybe give you a better understanding userstanding, Rudy was lied to by Elinalise in then novel that Roxy was pregnant on their journey back home from Begaritt. She told Rudy she hadn’t had her period since they slept together (2 months, anime sped over the travel). Rudy sat and thought about this a lot in the novel vs the anime made it seem like a decision he came to pretty quickly after just 1 talk with Elinalise. He initially after thinking it over was still not gonna marry Roxy, until Elinalise manipulated him to

Ain't no way the editor edited sylphie saying "you get the the balls i take the shaft" 😭😭😭😭

I swear in the light novel eliniase lied to rudeus saying roxy was pregnant which made him took this decision

"Noting wrong with polyagamy" -Roshi 2024

Season 1 was the Child Saga. season 2 was the Teen Saga. Seasons 3 and 4 will both be the Adult Saga. The series ends with Rudy at the old age of 74. The series is his whole life story. Some questions are left unanswered and some plot threads are left unresolved. A sequel light novel series is in the works that will follow Rudy's kids and will take care of those.

Man-God: "Don't go or you'll regret it." You ever thought it wasn't advice? Now, what if that was a threat? 😬 Eheheheee. Bwahahhaaaaa

idk if you guys forgot but at the end of last season, Eris quite literally screamed from a mountaintop that she was going to get stronger because she loves Rudeus and wants to be able to protect him from everyone in the world, including Orsted. it makes sense you might have forgot because we're stuck in Rudy's POV the whole season but she genuinely, DEEPLY loves him. she's just SHIT at expressing herself through feelings so Rudy took her note the wrong way. by this point in the Light Novel you learn that she is ruthlessly training herself in a renowned swordsmanship town in order to become strong enough to cut down Orsted. and her sole driving motivation is to return to Rudy and stand as equals with him on the battlefield. she's coming back eventually, but she's gotta become a monster of the blade first

From what I understand there is no need for "lots" of reasoning to merry two wives in this fantasy world. Polygamy is also common today in some countries and used to be way more popular in the past in even more. Fun fact even polyandry used to be common in places like Tiber and Nepal

Tengen had 3 wives so we can let Rudy slide with that

Bulbasaur and Squirtle GET! Now we just need Charmander. And maybe Pikachu?

Comparing Rudy's reasoning for loving Roxy to his reasoning for loving Sylphie seems almost the same to me, I'm just going off of what I remember so I might be missing some context, but Sylphie saved Rudy from his ED curse and after that he was like "yeah I'm gonna make Sylphie happy. I wanna marry her." Then in Roxy's case she saved him from being anxious about the outside world when he was younger and also from the (almost fatal) depression he had fallen into after the death of Paul and in turn Rudy's response was "Yeah I'm gonna make Roxy happy and marry her". I don't doubt that he loves either of them btw I still think that his feelings are genuine but When I think about it like this, I don't really see to many differences in circumstance for wanting to marry either of them. So I guess in turn while the anime did kinda make Rudy's reasoning look weak because it wasn't such a slow build up over 12 episodes I still feel like it makes sense

I don't think enough people fully understand why Rudy got with Roxy. It's more than just "oh I like you let's get married". Roxy saved Rudy from depression she helped him feel for the first time in his existence mental freedom. Then he hit what is possibly his lowest point in his new life, and she saved him from that grief too. Plus imo I think if he had of met her on demon continent late in S1 they would've fallen in love much earlier in the story, but Hitogami kept him away from her for reasons I'm still trying to figure out. Plus I've always shipped Rudy and Roxy since episode 1. I was like "Aight he'll grow up and you'll fall for him and happily ever after". So I'm less bothered by their relationship it just makes sense plus y'know there's cut content that I'm sure adds needed context to make this ordeal better.

Roxy didnt take advantage of the situation. After Rudy was depressed for Paul everyone decided Elinalise should help him but she rejected the idea because of course (Sylphy is her family) but she told Roxy should help him, in the original source is Rudeus who grab her into the bed. And he admit he was really rough with her and she took it like a champ. Another think is Elinalise blackmailed Rudy saying Roxy was pregnant so a lot changed in the anime compared to the LN.

The socially acceptable harem route, they said it could not be done.

Turning point 4 and I doubt it’s a spoiler by now but Eris’ return are gonna be absolutely generational Hope we get her POV though, it’s needed for season 3
