Friendly reminder - hints, leading questions, confirming or denying theories, and informed 'do you think's are all spoilers. Love the analysis! Seeing thoughts as someone slowly progresses through the material is great.
We finally made it to battle aura!! Aside from magic circles, this is one of the most interesting topics of the magic system to me. Badigadi says that its essentially mana around your body. This means to my speculation that it is like any affinity element and the fact that Rudy was an academic and then a neat in his old life and a reclusive bookworm in his new one he never gained the affinity for it. This is compounded with him being bullied for standing up for himself and the fear that if he ventured out and explored, which would require exercise, would result in harm. As a result he began to develop an aversion to this magic element thus giving him no talent. Just makes me wonder if Heracles, Tindelos, and company had showed in his life earlier, maybe he would have a battle aura. Just speculation
Got this mental image of Rudious covered in tattoos for complex spells that he just pumps mana into. Imagin palm tattoos with short range teleportation to redirect attacks or an insta healing circle so he can continuously heal in combat. Mass manipulate. Epic lol
I can’t relate to how anyone could hate the whole Fitz/Sylphie arc. I loved it and especially the Sylphie perspective chapters that you seem to despise. Makes me sad. I guess I just have more patience for this kind of stuff.
I do love how exasperated Andrew is with Sylphie/Fitz not reavelig that Fitz is Sylphie to Rudy. Which I totally agree with but can understand why she doesn't.
I think it’s really unfair to criticize how important Rudy considers sex regarding a relationship. He quite clearly doesn’t consider it the ONLY thing in relationship. He actually cares about the women he truly falls in love with and he cares about all the little things in a relationship, but sex and his ability to perform is extremely important to him too and that shouldn’t be looked down on as wrong or a bad mindset. Emphasizing one thing doesn’t mean they’re neglecting other things. Just another case of trying to see the worst in these characters rather than giving them credit or benefit of the doubt.
My favorite thing to do when @OtakuSpirit starts talking about Rudeus' previous life is hold down my right arrow key until he's talking about something else.
Thanks for the Mushoku Monday! It sucks that there are always people that try to spoil stuff in chat, I honestly never understood why some many people get “something” from spoiling random people they don’t even know, and that do not wish to be spoiled. It’s a lose lose situation.
Great Analysis! I really dig your deep thoughts and chewing through every bits of hints and details in each chapter. When I read the novels I breezed through them because I was captivated by the story and just wanted to see where it would go next. Listening to your podcast let me appreciate MT in all its subtleties like a fine wine. It helps me see what the author is thinking and how he constructs the story, and allows me to articulate why I like MT and the author so much. When you mused perhaps the reason why Rudy seemed to have given up on gaining Battle Aura from physical exercise, is because he has been doing it for so long and nothing has happened, so it's unlikely further physical exertions will make it happen now ... I think Rudy has undergone the same physical trainings as Eris when they were tutored by Ghislaine. Eris progressed steadily and gained Battle Aura while nothing happened with Rudy. So he has good reasons to believe that he has done all he could in trying to gain Battle Aura through physical training, and if that hasn't work out by now, it never will. Thank you for the Mushoku Tuesdays (because I'm ahead of you). It really does brighten up my week just as it starts to drag. :)
I really love how MT's magic system is early (with old magic being forgotten relics of the past), it creates this intrigue when characters explore the system, discover the secrets within, and invent applications for it. Also, Nanohashi underrated best girl.
Man, that cliffhanger... I'm *really* looking forward to next weeks episode! I still remember reading all of vol 9 in one sitting and then vol 10 the next day, once it starts going, it goes man So glad I get to relive the journey with you Andrew!
I figured out the difference between teleportation and battle magic vs healing and poisons. Teleportation and battle magic arent just trying to move mana, but physical matter. Healing is purely mana, and poisons most likely just enhance the poison which works as normal
I started reading the LN a few months ago and today i got to this point and when checking your videos i just realise i've been reading the web novel wich is a little different with the LN. Some stuff i liked more in the LN and other stuff i prefer the WN. For example there is a deleted chapter just after rudeus realized fits was a girl in wich ariel, luke and fits makes a plan so fits can spend the night with rudy, that was really funny it was a pitty it was removed in the LN
In the webnovel there is a short extra chapter between this and chapter 9. It's a 5-10 minute read and I really liked the chapter myself. I'd love for you to check it out before next weeks episode even if you don't put it in the video. I know I've mentioned this a few times by now and I don't want to be annoying, but I haven't had a reaction yet so here's one final attempt at getting you too read it.
For the record, I'm seeing this for the first time and noticing that I have already commented - TWICE. Help, I'm steppin into the Twilight Zone. Place is a made house feels like being cloned.

I don't think we are going to get a nanahoshi perspective. For the same reason we won't get a man god or an Orsted perspective. She knows too much that we shouldn't know.
Maybe Rudeus should keep his mouth shut in terms of rhe man God lol he doesn't seem to have learned from orsted experience also imagine rudeus telling silent to touch grass lol
Wait, no reunion this episode sigh, what a tease you are. On the upside, atleast Rudeous learned his lesson from back when he was a kid, and didn't just pull down fitz's pants. As for the reason for their connection, I think you have it all wrong. I think he senses it is Sylphiet, but the hair color is keeping him from stating such.
I got to say, rating the three waifu's in this show is pointless. Having said that Roxy started out as my favorite but is definitely not. Sylphie and Eris became my two favorite lol. Roxy great but not that great.
I’ve never felt any desire to rank either of them. I’ve always saw them equally and appreciated all of them for different reasons. Granted I initially despised Eris initially for a while after abandoning Rudy, but no longer as I went on. However, Andrew is forcing me to overcompensate by loving Sylphie even more because I can’t believe anyone could hate her or get sick of her so much. How can you be so mad with someone when the two of them are obviously head over heels for each other. Idk how anyone could think they’re bad for each other and practically want them to be pulled apart.
I can join this one, have finished up volume 9 won't spoil what happens/ Started volume 10, although my choice not to buy volume 12 last year is biting me in the ass.

So Far I have done non of that.

What the hell i need to get this at 3 AM
I don't think we are going to get a nanahoshi perspective. For the same reason we won't get a man god or an Orsted perspective. She knows too much that we shouldn't know.
love u babe
Maybe Rudeus should keep his mouth shut in terms of rhe man God lol he doesn't seem to have learned from orsted experience also imagine rudeus telling silent to touch grass lol
An even later premiere. I wonder what's going on this time
Just trying to keep it open to the convenience of the mods. They are critical to keeping MM spoiler free for myself and chatters!
Yea. It's going up at 4am for me. Hopefully the comments aren't disabled by the time I wake up. 😂
Wait, no reunion this episode sigh, what a tease you are. On the upside, atleast Rudeous learned his lesson from back when he was a kid, and didn't just pull down fitz's pants.

Don’t speak too soon lol

Wait for me!!!!
12 is must buy. Without spoilers - 12 is my favourite. There plenty of good story before and after, but 12 is special.
@@otakuspirit I will be watching this Analysis and beyond.
Am likely to time the previous premises. Season 2 is in July.
