Diaper is how it was described in the Light Novels. Anime does look like a chastity belt and in a sense that's what it is. It allows Elinalise to remain faithful and still live. Cliff is one heck of a guy!
Thank you, Andrew. I am an anime only, and I love how you keep us informed of what was missed in the story. This episode was great and full of story, and you did an amazing job covering things from different characters' points of view. I always enjoy these. Keep it going😁
Without any spoilers, the fact that the letter came from Gisu rather than Paul is probably more concerning than you might think initially. Because in retrospect after having finished the full story, it really makes you question if the man god was trying to encourage or discourage Rudy to stay. Since they weren't particularly strong arguments and even the idea of the two beast girls heavily pursuing him and taking one on as a second wife, wasn't something that landed well so soon after he found out Sylphy was pregnant
In restrospect, I think he really wanted Rudy to stay. He did that thing with Oldeus, right. So this time too is probably another one where he doesn't want Rudy to meet "her" again, preventing their marriage. He tried to appeal to Rudy's previously prominent perverted side by offering him sex (with beastgirls), only to fail.
@@st.lucient4755 Yeah no it's a good point. I didn't consider that it was his daughter with Roxy that was the important character. Though the reason I say in retrospect is because don't technically know when it (again no spoilers) started
Technically he could've tried to tell Rudeus that Sylphy might be in danger if he leaves her. Which can encourage him to stay, as Sylphy and the baby would likely outweigh the extended family at the current stage.
I don't remember if we got an explanation for it in the LN, but it's possible Geese sent the letter on his own without instruction from Hitogami, and then got an earful for it later. We are shown later on plenty of occasions that Hitogami isn't exactly the smartest about planning ahead and is bad about being subtle; the brains behind his best plans is Geese.
Rudy is still thinking of Sylphie as immature. Sylphie has grown into sterner stuff and self confidence. This is why Sylphie tells him to go. The scene with Norn gives a glimmer of her future of being emotional leader that others will follow.
Rudy seems at times to not take into account all the assassination attempts that Sylphy has foiled by ending the assasin's life. Sylphy is one Momma Bear I'd fear to cross! Rudy's girls are fearsome! Anyone attacking his household is in for a world of hurt! Recall how Eris tore through the Pope's assassination squad. The Sharia Greyrat house is STRONG!
I'm so happy with Rudeus and Norn's relationship these two are adorable, the final scene where they hug made me cry 😭 I was too happy, Aisha was also very adorable and our sylphy is pregnant very touching scene, anyway I really like the your videos on mushoku tensei I recently discovered you and I'm from another country, Italy but I'm happy to follow your videos on mushoku tensei anime since they are anime only, I hope you will continue with the next seasons too.
@@JoseLopez-gi9sf You're right. It didn't click for me, even though we celebrated with our kids and grandkids today. Wonder if they tried to set it up like this or it was serendipity. Thanks for reminding us so we can celebrate our Mushoku mothers as well! 😍
I loved this episode, probably my favorite of S2 so far. Glad to see that cour 2 has been improving from cour 1 in terms of both animation and adaptation quality
@@SeelenverheizerWouldn't say low just very average. Low quality would be shit like seven deadly sins or black clover. Also they've shown the trailer for the upcoming fight and it's clear they're saving resources for that so it's fine. No reason to go crazy with production quality when season 2 has mainly been slice of life imo.
@@HenshinFanatic Fr man, idk where these types of people come from. It's like they watch shows with insane animation and suddenly every show is now required to have that same standard regardless of the genre which is stupid. You don't need to be dishing out sakuga every 5 minutes for episodes that largely consist of just character interaction.
@Seelenverheizer Low? The animation is still really good. Of course it's not the masterpiece that was s1, but to say it's even average is something I would disagree with.
Thank you for covering what happens in the LNs. It's really nice to see the differences and know about parts they skipped. It's like piecing together a puzzle.
I love that you heavily edited that last segment past the fourty three minute mark. You couldn't say into words how the Norn scene impacted you. I just love that. When I read it i didn't really get as emotional as you did and it shows me how great this story is. Everyone is different, and this story is so impactful in different ways to different people.
Im gonna give Geese the benefit of the doubt that he did it out of the goodness of his heart and I think Hitogami isnt as powerful to influence everyone and can only focus on certain things.
@@MiseRaen I'm pretty sure Geese probably had a thing for Zenith. Because usually parties break up when people get together and when there are infighting for leadership or relationships. If Geese loved Zenith and Paul took her away this could be Geeses chance to save her and get some points.
@JoseLopez-gi9sf If I recall, Geese didn't have any particular romantic feelings for any member of his party. It was more that he actually felt like he was a valued member of the party, where he wasn't ever valued as a vital member by any other party he joined. Most Party's didn't have a need for him and his various skills. So their Party was the only one he could ever be seen as useful in. Thus his regret in teaching a particular member of it how to cook, he see's that choice of his as the reason the Party disbanded. While most of the other's blamed Paul, he blamed himself more than anyone else. As we know, most of them didn't fit well in other Party's. Elinalise in particular due to her condition, Paul because he was a self-disowned Noble & womanizer, Zenith because she was a naive runaway Noble, Gislane because she was a literal illiterate berserker (only Paul could subdue her, due to his high level of training in the other two Sword Styles) and I forget why Tolrand didn't work well with others (I think it was the discrimination because he was Dwarf or his attitude in general). Geese had a variety of skills that the rest didn't. They dedicated their lives to their other talents while neglecting things like cooking, accounting, lock picking, trap disarmament, scouting etc etc. Geese is a bit of a jack of all trades Rouge/Thief type, spent his time learning other skills while being only being moderately good at most typical Rouge/Thief skills. None the less, all of his skills were one's in which the rest of the Party didn't have or weren't nearly as well practiced as him. They literally needed him to round out the Party's flaws in those areas. So when they disbanded, he couldn't find any Party that needed his other skills and could recruit someone who spent more time specialising in those Rogue/Thief skills than him. The rest could never find a stable permanent Party after that either. So he was more felt that he was the reason the only Party for himself, and the others, disbanded. Not so much because he wasn't able to be in a romantic relationship with any of them. Maybe he lamented not being able to have the same casual sexual relationship Paul had with Elinalise or even Gislane (Dispite him likely fearing being mauled by her in the process). None the less, I don't think that was a factor.
@@soulsurvivor8293 while this makes sense that he would blame himself. I don't believe a character like him would. Especially knowing more stuff about him later. He is more like Rudy in that he is a coward. But at the same time cowards survive. They are survivalist. They will do anything to live. Paul was just a skilled person that could get any lady he wants. So it was double weird that Zenith would want to keep him to herself. Especially when practices the religion of Millis. Geese knows that and if he had feeling for her anyone with a crush would assume that teaching someone a wifely thing makes them feel like they are getting closer together. Otherwise he would have never thought her in the first place. If he knew what he knew now he wouldn't. He did it the first time because he assumed something more would happen. Since Paul isn't of the Millies region Geese could only assume Zenith was learning to ask Geese out or to as Talhand. Which I believe his story is that he just doesn't work well with anyone. Which could be said about the whole party. Paul will steal your woman. Geese isn't the best at anything. Zenith is a noble and to adventurer that is seen as someone that will just leave them when they get bored or too scared. That is an untrustworthy thing when adventurer have to have each other's backs. Talhand is a stubborn dwarf that will drink all the money away. Ghislaine is a berserker that was kicked out of her own clan because she was dangerous. And Elinalise will steal your man. All of them were outcast nobody would want to partner up with. The risk of an adventure is to lower any risk that will get themselves killed.
I just listened to this part of the novel 2 days ago, learning about Norn was soooo good, she’s so different to Aisha. And I’m just really looking forward to the next upcoming arc.
Thanks, Andrew, for another great skipped content video. The way you help explain the emotions roiling through everyone is wonderful. Your Mushoku Sunday and Monday videos are one of the highlights of my week. Keep up the good work! You and your team are fantastic!
I love your commentary. I just watched a couple of your skip content videos and I'm enjoying them so much. I hope you keep doing these(knowing what's to come in volume 12 and 15), they make me appreciate Mushoku Tensei more
Why does Sylphie thinks Rudeus wants a child so much? btw the thing I always knew about this series is that Rudeus marries various characters. I didn't expect that Sylphie would get pregnant so fast, specially after she said that could have difficulties. I was imagining that Sylphie having difficulties getting pregnant could play a role in Rudeus marrying the others.
It was stated in the LN that Rudeus likes to roleplay and say embarassing stuff that you'd read from eroges during adult time, soo him going like "PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP GET PREGNANT GET PREGNANT GET PREGNANT-" gets Sylphie thinking that he really wants to have a kid
I still don't understand why Rudy didn't just hire a bunch of top adventurers to go and assist for him. He has all this money and all these connections. Hell, I bet he could get Badigadi to run over there super fast and lend 6 hands. Leaving himself is honestly stupid. He should be staying right where he is and serving as a safe port of respite for anyone who needs one while all this is going on.
I think the cost of top adventures would be more than the amount of money he got from his father. Not only that but the danger, and risk of such an adventure would make the price go up far more, add in how long it would take just to get there, and back, and you have a poor, homeless, and desperate man who gave up everything of value to save his parents, but wouldn't even try to go himself, and would rather make his pregnant wife, and sisters be homeless then go looking for his parents.
Because Rudy is stronger than top adventurers. Even Ghislane and Ruijerd have spoken about how many people are needed to take down a red dragon and how only the great powers can. Keep in mind one of the episodes early this season SHOWS Rudy EASILY 1v1 a red dragon. Very easily. He could probably deal with multiple at a time. Ghislane had multiple people in her party perish trying to take one down. Rudy is a BEAST.
I’m really concerned about about him not listening to the man god in this episode and worried that great opportunity he would be missing. Should he stay instead and maybe work on teleportation with silent? That would probably be faster than the year he would spend traveling.
and so, it begins CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY BOY ORSTED and go into my favorite time when I read (taking over Asura with ariel and Orsted) and we are still technically far unfortunately. Got a lot of important stuff coming our way. nervous and Excited
Oh so they DID clarify that a PET bottle *is* organic material lol. As an anime viewer, it bothered me that they called it "inorganic" when plastic is absolutely organic material.
@@st.lucient4755 well organic chemistry inolves any molecular structures containing carbon, thus inorganic is anything that doesn't have carbon in its molecular structure.
@@HenshinFanatic and iirc we live in a carbon-based ecosystem ? Or was it that living organisms on Earth are all carbon-centric ? The last time I heard this is when some argued alien life may not rely on carbon or something.. Wait, then why does biology see it differently ? Thanks for answering my random curiosity btw !
@@st.lucient4755 Correct, all life on Earth is carbon-based. The complex chemical interactions that life requires are contingent on the ability of carbon to bond with four other atoms, which means it can create extremely complex molecules. More importantly, the binding energy is close to the triple point temperature of the solvent required to facilitate the interactions (water). This is likely why we don't see any evidence of silicon-based life -- while silicon can make complex molecules as well, the temperatures that this happens at are less convenient. PET bottles are made of hydrocarbon chains, isolated from the compressed crude oil of ancient organisms. Can't get more organic than that.
Honestly some might not think of this as an important or impactful episode but it is the most entertaining and conflicting episode in the entire series. I might be an anime only but I already got spoiled (I HATE PINTEREST)
Yeah, I got spoiled by someone casually dropping that most major spoiler of this season in a YT vid that wasn't even about this series. On the upside I could then binge the volume 12 Mushoku Monday vids, and be fully and properly prepared for what's coming.
im rly lazy to read tbh but listening to your commentary on what ive missed makes my work so much more enjoyable thx for that brother keep going you are very likeable to listen
What an episode. There was so much stuff to get through before Rudy could leave and I'm very impressed by how well they handled jumping from one topic to another while keeping a steady flow to the episode. Zanoba cemented himself as best bro with that advice if you ask me. And speaking of Zanoba, I always assumed the dragon figure was closer to the size of a statue than a figure, but maybe that's just me.
It's interesting to see how many people like/trust the Man-God in the comment section compared to how I saw him. Up until this point in the LN I never trusted him still. He seemed too convenient lol.
Happy Mothers Day to the ultimate waifu, Sylphiette!... Good for Norn, brave girl! I half thought she was taking tips from Aisha to manpulate Rudeus to pull his head out of his butt.
Norn tripping over from being surprised is going to be hilarious throughout the anime, especially during Vol18 when she reprimands Rudeus in front of the students 😂😂 I'm gonna watch up until they reach the Hydra, then, I'm not watching anymore 😭
Hang in there. The love and sadness to come tears the heart, but shows how deeply the family cares and loves. Very sad but one heck of a family bonding scene is coming.
This was a great episode and it's gonna kill me to wait on the next To be fair, waiting for this series is murder I have the audio books for the first couple of volumes of the LN Seriously, I need more of it in my life because after finishing the LN series, trying to fill the void is just not working
@otakuspirit I'm probably gonna rewatch the series in dub to kill the time, as well as your Mushoku Mondays One Piece is on break this week too, god damn there's a content void Stay strong people, stay strong
As allways thanks for telling and explaining the extra stuff Didn't skip anywhere once, your voice is good and you talk with enthusiasm and interest good good 👍
I am so mad that they did not animate zanoba getting mad at ginger for rudeus being to friendly with zanoba and rudeus reprimanding him for that. It showed real growth with zanoba and shows that it pays off later on in zanoba's character development, but other than that it's been a great season so far. Can't wait for the labrynth arc
30:41 This is why I love stories set in medieval time periods, we get so many more options in stories. If this was set in our current era this would be sorted in 5 minutes with a phone call & jumping on a plane.
HE SAID THE TRIGGERING WORD! NOOOOOO never say TP. All jokes aside, I was so excited for this to get adapted. I'm really excited for the future of this show.
(literally cannot even make it off the front porch without tripping and falling flat on her face) Okay, fine, I admit it; Norn is the most moe character in this series
I'm extremely surprised rudeus hasn't created some sort of flying glider since he can use magic at will he could propel himself easily and get there in days vs months.
34:24 Yes this was so painful when I first heard it, I feel so sorry for her, I love her so much. But Cliff is our best boy, love how this turned out, I really really hope this relationship works out.
I know it wouldn't make sense for the stakes of the story, but theres no way that Rudy wouldn't be able to use magic to create some kind of method of flight to get to Paul in much less time. I know dragons might shoot him down, but I'm sure he could outfly them if he had a way to increase his speed through mana input.
20:36 The only thing I don’t like about that is if you had strength like that you’d learn how to use it so you don’t destroy things. I think it’s more that he’s clumsy.
The only flaw in Nanahoshi's (probably spelled her name wrong) plan is the last test. How would you be able to verify that what you sent went where you intended? The idea that its not here so it worked seems a bit lacking especially to me especially if the next subject for it was myself.
The idea is to establish each variable of the summoning circle. What and Where. She's establishing the what at the moment. From a Living Thing (animal), what kind (cat), more specific (siamese). Then work on the where. I think the way of adjusting the where may be found by what is brought back. Breeds, cultivated plants, insects, or written language on objects. Sort of my conclusion I drew.
4:20 i feel ya bro. it's like calling out joe biden and nancy pelosi for being evil, but people attack you instead of looking at the obvious policy failures.
they have to cover the end of volume 11, and all of volume 12 and 13 in 6 episodes. i fear that they are going to skip significant portions of volume 12 to make it happen.
Rudy is just being a responsible husband and brother. Norm is being immature and selfish here. What if Rudy dies while trying to save his mom? The message is way to vague for Rudy to know what is required to save his mother. He could have attempt to link up with Ruijerd and Badigadi to aid him in this quest.
Looong shots let you know very well how this decision was torturing him. Both options make him a villain by someone's perspective. Man God is a snake, tho.
28:05 Is there a reason why he’s always his previous self when he talks to the man god? Don’t tell me the reason, just if it’s relevant or not. It’s just that it’s very strange that he’s always in his previous form.
Diaper is how it was described in the Light Novels. Anime does look like a chastity belt and in a sense that's what it is. It allows Elinalise to remain faithful and still live. Cliff is one heck of a guy!
It feels like there was a lot of emptiness in certain scenes, it’s like that feeling of there probably was something there that needed to be mentioned but the anime chose not to mention rather than it feeling like it all fits seamlessly in the anime and there is definitely no cut content. But it could just be because I read the novel that I feel that way. I wish I could’ve watched the anime first instead of reading all those years ago sigh
While I love this episode, I feel like people hyping this episode up little too much. Like, “Ooh next few episodes are gonna be crazy” or “This turning point isn’t like the others”, come on man don’t be JJK fans lol
Being only 10 years old and having a strong bond to her parents (especially her father), her plans were to try anything. Even if it meant walking there. She probably has very little sense what it would be like on her own.
You called the device for Elinalise a diaper, but honestly my first thought was that it looked like a chastity belt.
Same
Yeah.

Not only that but the danger, and risk of such an adventure would make the price go up far more, add in how long it would take just to get there, and back, and you have a poor, homeless, and desperate man who gave up everything of value to save his parents, but wouldn't even try to go himself, and would rather make his pregnant wife, and sisters be homeless then go looking for his parents.
Because Rudy is stronger than top adventurers. Even Ghislane and Ruijerd have spoken about how many people are needed to take down a red dragon and how only the great powers can. Keep in mind one of the episodes early this season SHOWS Rudy EASILY 1v1 a red dragon. Very easily. He could probably deal with multiple at a time.
Ghislane had multiple people in her party perish trying to take one down. Rudy is a BEAST.
Genuinely the best analysis and recap video I’ve ever seen. So well organized and spoken. Keep it up dude! Wow killer content 🤙🏼🖤🖤
I’m really concerned about about him not listening to the man god in this episode and worried that great opportunity he would be missing. Should he stay instead and maybe work on teleportation with silent? That would probably be faster than the year he would spend traveling.
and so, it begins CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY BOY ORSTED and go into my favorite time when I read (taking over Asura with ariel and Orsted) and we are still technically far unfortunately. Got a lot of important stuff coming our way. nervous and Excited
Feels like it's a mistake at the same time, can't blame him at all.
nah its not
Oh so they DID clarify that a PET bottle *is* organic material lol. As an anime viewer, it bothered me that they called it "inorganic" when plastic is absolutely organic material.
I mean, by chemistry standards sure, but by biology standards, eh, not so much.
What IS inorganic by chemistry standards actually ? Been too long out of school to remember
@@st.lucient4755 well organic chemistry inolves any molecular structures containing carbon, thus inorganic is anything that doesn't have carbon in its molecular structure.
@@HenshinFanatic and iirc we live in a carbon-based ecosystem ? Or was it that living organisms on Earth are all carbon-centric ?
The last time I heard this is when some argued alien life may not rely on carbon or something..
Wait, then why does biology see it differently ?
Thanks for answering my random curiosity btw !
@@st.lucient4755 Correct, all life on Earth is carbon-based. The complex chemical interactions that life requires are contingent on the ability of carbon to bond with four other atoms, which means it can create extremely complex molecules. More importantly, the binding energy is close to the triple point temperature of the solvent required to facilitate the interactions (water). This is likely why we don't see any evidence of silicon-based life -- while silicon can make complex molecules as well, the temperatures that this happens at are less convenient.
PET bottles are made of hydrocarbon chains, isolated from the compressed crude oil of ancient organisms. Can't get more organic than that.
Wow I didn't think season 2 would get all the way to turning point 3 (haven't watched part 2). I shall prepare myself mentally
Honestly some might not think of this as an important or impactful episode but it is the most entertaining and conflicting episode in the entire series. I might be an anime only but I already got spoiled (I HATE PINTEREST)
oooouch... sorry to hear!
Yeah, I got spoiled by someone casually dropping that most major spoiler of this season in a YT vid that wasn't even about this series. On the upside I could then binge the volume 12 Mushoku Monday vids, and be fully and properly prepared for what's coming.
what got me here is when he thought about all is family at the table. Made me cry
I had some much anxiety watching the new episode.
im rly lazy to read tbh but listening to your commentary on what ive missed makes my work so much more enjoyable thx for that brother keep going you are very likeable to listen
Aisha inner Alabama was kicking in when asked for Rudy to share some of the love.
Caused by a mother who molded her into it lol..
What an episode.
There was so much stuff to get through before Rudy could leave and I'm very impressed by how well they handled jumping from one topic to another while keeping a steady flow to the episode.
Zanoba cemented himself as best bro with that advice if you ask me.
And speaking of Zanoba, I always assumed the dragon figure was closer to the size of a statue than a figure, but maybe that's just me.
Is Rudeus the first isekai protagonist who fathers a child in his main show?
It's certainly super rare
Thanks for the heads up on no new episode next week!
The old guy, "Summoning magic master" was mentioned in the anime twice in first part of S1.
It's interesting to see how many people like/trust the Man-God in the comment section compared to how I saw him. Up until this point in the LN I never trusted him still. He seemed too convenient lol.
Happy Mothers Day to the ultimate waifu, Sylphiette!... Good for Norn, brave girl! I half thought she was taking tips from Aisha to manpulate Rudeus to pull his head out of his butt.
Norn tripping over from being surprised is going to be hilarious throughout the anime, especially during Vol18 when she reprimands Rudeus in front of the students 😂😂
I'm gonna watch up until they reach the Hydra, then, I'm not watching anymore 😭
Hang in there. The love and sadness to come tears the heart, but shows how deeply the family cares and loves. Very sad but one heck of a family bonding scene is coming.
Thank you
You're welcome!! Thank you!
I love that the episode aired on Mother's day in the USA.
It was golden week in Japan last week so I guess that's the reason why we won't get an episode next week... darn. I don't wanna wait... sigh*
This was a great episode and it's gonna kill me to wait on the next
To be fair, waiting for this series is murder
I have the audio books for the first couple of volumes of the LN
Seriously, I need more of it in my life because after finishing the LN series, trying to fill the void is just not working
2 week wait is going to be harsh lol
@otakuspirit I'm probably gonna rewatch the series in dub to kill the time, as well as your Mushoku Mondays
One Piece is on break this week too, god damn there's a content void
Stay strong people, stay strong
As allways thanks for telling and explaining the extra stuff
Didn't skip anywhere once, your voice is good and you talk with enthusiasm and interest good good 👍
I am so mad that they did not animate zanoba getting mad at ginger for rudeus being to friendly with zanoba and rudeus reprimanding him for that. It showed real growth with zanoba and shows that it pays off later on in zanoba's character development, but other than that it's been a great season so far. Can't wait for the labrynth arc
Really thankful for doing these video eassy. Honestly.
30:41 This is why I love stories set in medieval time periods, we get so many more options in stories. If this was set in our current era this would be sorted in 5 minutes with a phone call & jumping on a plane.
"Paul would be shocked if he finds out"
Aaaah shi-
I love your content, it would be so much better if you look at the camera more often. Then I would have the feeling you are actually talking to me 😊
Thanks! Typically with Novel content, I'm having to read from the notes as it's FAR to much to commit to memory.
You don't have to memorise it, but making it more like a presentation in front of class, will make a huge difference already 😁
HE SAID THE TRIGGERING WORD! NOOOOOO never say TP. All jokes aside, I was so excited for this to get adapted. I'm really excited for the future of this show.
Remember it was insinuated that Ginger pushed Zanoba to trade her for the Roxy figurine.
(literally cannot even make it off the front porch without tripping and falling flat on her face)
Okay, fine, I admit it; Norn is the most moe character in this series
At 12:50 in the video, it kinds of looks like the flower in the anime is extending into your microphone. I just thought it looked kind of cool.
I'm extremely surprised rudeus hasn't created some sort of flying glider since he can use magic at will he could propel himself easily and get there in days vs months.
34:24 Yes this was so painful when I first heard it, I feel so sorry for her, I love her so much. But Cliff is our best boy, love how this turned out, I really really hope this relationship works out.
The fact that Lilia damaged Aisha is just sad
16:51 understandable, wouldn’t want Yogiri to be summoned to the world that I am living in.
25:55
She certainly does have a complex for the fatherly types.
Norns fall was not in the manga. I like it. Also the scene where Julie gets the dragon figurine was just one panel. Anime is great.😊
Yes, Nanahoshi has mentioned the Old man before to Rudeus in the anime.
If Nanahoshi is done with the spell that summons her back to Japan Rudeus could ask her to make a circle to summon his Mother!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we acknowledge Rudy took dog girls food.
16:46 well her summoning did create the displacement incident
35:50 wholesome grandma
I know it wouldn't make sense for the stakes of the story, but theres no way that Rudy wouldn't be able to use magic to create some kind of method of flight to get to Paul in much less time. I know dragons might shoot him down, but I'm sure he could outfly them if he had a way to increase his speed through mana input.
I'm worried about the incest joke and Hitogami suggesting Rude us cheats.
I hope nothing terrible comes out of it but I'm worried.
love your content
norn found her talent writing.
You kept saying diaper but it reminded me more of a chastity belt
The diaper description came from Rudy in the LN, that’s what he’s doing is giving context from the LN perspective of the anime
im concerned because things just started to happen and we have only half the season left :(
HitoKami legit an OPP
20:36 The only thing I don’t like about that is if you had strength like that you’d learn how to use it so you don’t destroy things. I think it’s more that he’s clumsy.
The only flaw in Nanahoshi's (probably spelled her name wrong) plan is the last test. How would you be able to verify that what you sent went where you intended? The idea that its not here so it worked seems a bit lacking especially to me especially if the next subject for it was myself.
The idea is to establish each variable of the summoning circle. What and Where. She's establishing the what at the moment. From a Living Thing (animal), what kind (cat), more specific (siamese). Then work on the where. I think the way of adjusting the where may be found by what is brought back. Breeds, cultivated plants, insects, or written language on objects. Sort of my conclusion I drew.
4:20 i feel ya bro. it's like calling out joe biden and nancy pelosi for being evil, but people attack you instead of looking at the obvious policy failures.
" i cast hot and ready"
"yo its windy af rn why?"
Season 2, Part 2, Part B LETS GOOOO!!!!!
13:24 bro tryna learn steal from kazuma
bro looking like IRL rudeus
they have to cover the end of volume 11, and all of volume 12 and 13 in 6 episodes. i fear that they are going to skip significant portions of volume 12 to make it happen.
Think the anime is set to end with volume 12, not enter volume 13.
@otakuspirit then the OP has some serious season 3 spoilers if it's not planning on tackling the labyrinth arc. lol.
As someone who is just a anime only, wouldnt nanahoshi be annoyed/upset if rudeus just left? It would mean her progress would come to a stop
loved it not as impactful of last episode to me but still around 9/10
What do you mean by "if its anime, its premature"? at the end of every video?
Rudy is just being a responsible husband and brother. Norm is being immature and selfish here. What if Rudy dies while trying to save his mom? The message is way to vague for Rudy to know what is required to save his mother. He could have attempt to link up with Ruijerd and Badigadi to aid him in this quest.
Looong shots let you know very well how this decision was torturing him.
Both options make him a villain by someone's perspective.
Man God is a snake, tho.
28:05 Is there a reason why he’s always his previous self when he talks to the man god? Don’t tell me the reason, just if it’s relevant or not. It’s just that it’s very strange that he’s always in his previous form.
It's messed up part of the reason he doesn't want to go is for Norn
Everybody Loves Ruijerd. New, this fall on ABC!
I started reading the light novels almost caught up to the anime excited what will happen later on
It is a chastity belt not a diaper
Diaper is how it was described in the Light Novels. Anime does look like a chastity belt and in a sense that's what it is. It allows Elinalise to remain faithful and still live. Cliff is one heck of a guy!
This episode felt like a structural mess. Like it should have been 3 episodes but they got crammed into one.
It feels like there was a lot of emptiness in certain scenes, it’s like that feeling of there probably was something there that needed to be mentioned but the anime chose not to mention rather than it feeling like it all fits seamlessly in the anime and there is definitely no cut content. But it could just be because I read the novel that I feel that way. I wish I could’ve watched the anime first instead of reading all those years ago sigh
How would Geese know that Rudeus is even in Ranoa?
While I love this episode, I feel like people hyping this episode up little too much. Like, “Ooh next few episodes are gonna be crazy” or “This turning point isn’t like the others”, come on man don’t be JJK fans lol
To be fair, they started the hype a little early lol.. But I'd just ignore the hype and just enjoy it.
Great episode. Super unrelated did I just read a weird translation or was nanahoshi supposed to summon a glass PET bottle. I swear I'm trippin
Being PET, it's plastic. Cliff even gets fascinated by the sound of it crumpling in his hands.
12:50 interesting summoning
14:00 15:00 16:00
21:40 Turning to depression starts point!
23:50 24:30[hmh]
27:03 27:26 29:00 31:00 32:00
33:00 34:20 36:50 39:00 20 43:00
45:10
nice
Apparently next week is delayed until the 25
Can someone help me answer this question, what did he say at 23:40, aisha informed princess ariel and who? "And Rudeus’ den" Was what she said?
in rudeus stead. Like for him or in his place someone did a thing.
It's funny, because the anime is going to pass the manga-version within a few episodes.
Depending on what the anime decides to show.
Seriously,How the hell norn even planned to help her father ?
She's a child. She didn't think that far or it was a ploy to get Rudeus to go.
Being only 10 years old and having a strong bond to her parents (especially her father), her plans were to try anything. Even if it meant walking there. She probably has very little sense what it would be like on her own.
How strong are the monsters on the demon continent compared to Red Wyrms?
How old is Rudy already?
