    It's some interesting contrast to see, silphy is so sweet on rudy and she has absolutely no issue removing people from this world.
    Rudeus, with his earth sensibility, is the only individual with a noticeable aversion to bloodshed. Eris was unphased by ghislaine killing the kidnappers rudy has been traumatized ever since.

    Sylphie is such a sad character. Her parents loved her but never really stopped the town from picking on her. Or at least teaching her how to defend herself from the world.
    Rudy is her only friend until the displacement incident. Then she chooses to be friends with the Princess even after her attacking Sylphie at night and lying to her about being killed as a spy. Which does happened in this world. But she still does choose to start as her friend.
    Then she finds out her parents where killed and Nanahoshi had a part in it. Of course she would explode. This is like how after so many years of stress and self doubt and feeling worthless Rudy eventually cries. Syplie was also one to cry but now she is finally lashing out.
    You have to remember at this point she feels like Rudy may not remember her. She has nobody that cares for her and she has done everything in hopes to be useful to Rudy. Just like how Eris left him to grow stronger. Sylphie started early on to try to be worth Rudy. But now she has doubt Rudy mat not care for her as much as she does him. So why would she assume anyone else would feel the same. She already knows the princess is using her but she is trying to make friends with her. For both of them. But now she sees Rudy not getting upset like she is about the displacement. She thought both of them have suffer so much in those years. At least Rudy has cried a few times since then. But Sylphie has bottled it up all those years.

    I think a lot of characters/non-characters would react the way Sylphie did with Nanahoshi. Put Paul in her place. If someone said "I displaced your family, and caused unimaginable suffering to countless people" is Paul in that moment going to say "Hmm. Explain." No, I would imagine he's going to react just like Sylphie did. Maybe some characters who were not as affected by the displacement, like Cliff or Elinalise, or characters who are overly non-confrontational, like Rudeus, would wait for an explanation. But anyone who had their family or friends harmed by it, would most likely react the exact same.
    It's a bit of a stretch, but saying the words Nanahoshi did would be akin to someone saying they're an Apostle to Orsted.
    I don't think this interaction was written for any other reason than to show that Sylphie is dealing with a lot of grief and pain from the displacement incident, the same grief and pain that many others share.
    Despite my argument above, I do agree with you on Sylphie bottling her feelings. I just don't think this explosion of rage towards Nanahoshi was her releasing her emotions. Small but important distinction.

      I always found it strange how she didn't show any animosity towards the princess. But then I realized she is the type to forgive. And she had other things on her mind at the time. Like Rudy. She stayed by the princess side to show Rudy that she can make friends and that she can become stronger. That she can becomes someone that can support. And who better to support then a princess. She wants Rudy to know that people need her by her side. Just like how she needed Rudy by her side. But now the tables have turn because Rudy respects Fittz and sees him as a dependable person which is how Sylphie sees Rudy as.

      @@komocakeps527 the princess plays mind games with people. She scaried Sylphie into thinking that she will be considered a spy and killed if she didn't stay by her side after her mage was killed. She needed a new mage right when he died and Sylphie is the strongest in the kingdom. But she also could have explained the situation better and show how Sylphie saved them. She also kept her parents death a secret until it benefited her. The princess said she would look for them if Sylphie worked as her mage. When she finally was running away from the kingdom to go to school she comes clean about everything. She cries about it but you don't know if she faking a tear because Sylphie is an emotional person. So it easy to conclude Sylphie stayed with the princess because she had nobody left. And still considered her a friend at that point. It's messed up. But Sylphie is an angel and forgives very quickly. Because she sees it from different points of view and respect the other person decisions. This is something she does all the time.
      The princess also tried to attack her in bed one night because she likes to force herself on women. But Sylphie fought back and knocked out off the bed for the attempt assault. Which open the princess eyes to also enjoying being forced down by people. She is a freak in bed. Like most nobility.

      world. The Incident was probably a side effect caused by whatever brought me here. In effect...In effect, it happened because of me.”

    That was a fantastic take on Sylphie! I have never considered this since I am not a LN reader... Having been in many life or death situations while I am as laid back and fat jolly guy that likes to laugh I too can flip my switch real fast. I think what scares some people is how quickly I can switch off and be ready to laugh and have a beer with you....I think this is not a sign of a person with violent intent rather demonstrates that they have been in situations where violence was the only way to survive the encounter. The fact that they can switch off quickly is a good sign. It is the people that hang on to their hate, anger and rage that I think one needs to be worried about. As small as Slyphie is if things go sideways fast her only hope of surviving is to use overwhelming force and violence as fast as possible. She can't wait for things to happen or take the first plow and hope she can tank it. When you are small the second you know words have failed and it is going down striking hard, fast and first is often the best way to win. Even in sports with weight classes like wrestling in high school and college the person that get's the first take down wins the match something like 76% of the time. Street fights often work the same the aggressor normally wins! So small female with limited fighting ability and no sword skills but hi in magic definitely attacking first is her best policy!

    Very interesting, Sylphie is definitely stronger than Nanahoshi, but she is deeply afraid of Nnahoshi because what Sylphie really afraid of is "The disappearance of Rudy". And Nanahoshi is the person who can really make Rudy disappear from this world. If Rudy gets really close to Nanahoshi, he has a high possibility of going back to his world with her(We know it's impossible but Sylphie doesn't know). That is why Sylphie has a strong anxiety about Nanahoshi but herself can't tell the reason.

    Just wanna throw out there for any anime-only's: I think it's important to take this video with a grain of salt lol. Andrew displayed a preeeeetty heavy distaste for Sylphie throughout the entirety of the University arc during his LN readthrough, and it feels a touch unfair to not forewarn people of that IMO. It was to an extent where, on a couple occasions, his analysis completely derailed from the actual content, and was focused almost solely off his own interpretation. It feels like the premise of this is somewhat reaching back into that headspace, as it's kinda nuts calling Sylphie's reaction a "violent outburst" instead of a 'pretty understandable outrage at the admission by Nanahoshi that she killed both of Sylphie's parents as well as most of the people she grew up with (and, very nearly, her too)'.
    Also, before I get the comments - don't just default to "oh you're a Sylphie simp", that's a cop-out. All characters of the story are flawed, and Andrew brings up a lot of valid criticisms for Sylphie, but this is one area of the story where he has a predilection to get a bit unhinged.

      It's a violent outburst and actual criminal act that a court will punish you for even if it lightens the scenance.

Hence why I said to add the grain of salt.
      As for the comical strawman, we're both fully aware that all Sylphie heard was the (self-admittedly) horribly put statement that Nanahoshi "caused the mana disaster".
      Agreed. Many of which you discuss with good breadth and detail. If not Paul, probably Rudeus. He tends to catch a lot of (well deserved) flack.
      SN: The side-shade in your 2nd comment is just sad, my guy. It's Twitter baby level of name calling for purpose of conversational control. It's exactly what I mean by you hiding behind the 'Sylphie stan' excuse.

    As a Sylphie enjoyer I can agree that she is a bit unhinged early on, but as you explained (very well btw) she had a very unfortunate upbringing and when everything is brought together it all makes sense. Sylphie is def a badass though love her.

    I don't get what is scary about Sylph's reaction, imagine you're a warrior (which she is, no matter the age), a navy marine if you will and you suddenly come face to face to someone that nuked your hometown, fed your life and caused so much pain to everyone you loved, let me correct myself EVERYONE YOU KNEW and on top of that that same individual threw you in a foreign land, alone, inexperienced as a CHILD (now age comes in to play). Would ask something? Or would you burst out in rage and beat the crap out of this monster (in your eyes she is undoubtedly a monster), no matter Truman's reasons a mid century Japanese vet (who live in Nagasaki prior to the nukes) would 100% kill Truman on sight with his teeth if he had too.

  • @razek2373

    I mean in her defense, she got sent to a random place, lost all friends and familly as a pre teen, had to kill at that same age, and then nanahoshi opens up by saying i caused the incident.... i think most would have gone off by that alone, like you said, she doesnt have the context behind it, but just saying that as your opener was not a smart choice either xD
    i would honestly be more surpirsed if she was able to keep cool after that line was said

    Did not really need the Context for why she attacked Nanohoshi. It was obvious, unless you where not paying attention to the whole Scene. But this just proves there nobody in the series is perfect and that just makes me love Sylphie more. Its not what makes someone great that makes up love them but the flaws they have.

    to be fair, Sylphie just saw her friend get kidnapped, even Ruijerd would probably react like that 😂 I think she acted completely logical, Paul was too fucking suspicious right there.
    The nanahoshi situation was also undertandable, Nanahoshi basically said "I murder your parents... oops no, I didn't mean that". There's nothing to explain because what nanahoshi said was clear, the problem was that she was incorrect. She said something that wasn't true

    As a Sylphie stan through and through i am very sad that some ppl were bashing u for theorizing and interpreting a character ur own way. like negatives about character's personality doesn't mean u think they are a bad character. all 3 girls have faults(yes despite the goddess jokes Roxy is def not perfect lmfao, she has her own share of problems) but it doesn't mean they are bad characters.
    some people who love their "waifus" see them as perfect with no faults but that's not always the case. Hell biggest example is Rem, a lot of her fans and ppl perceive her as this perfect maid waifu when in reality she has tons of internal problems with her mentality and everything and i am saying this as a Rem fan(she is my fav female chara in RZ still even as of Arc 8)

    i love your videos. but on one point of yours, i would disagree. i'm anime-only. even as i was watching it, i thought and felt Sylphy's responses were understandable. i would reserve the word unhinged for ERIS... because eris would lose her tempter and control over petty things, countless times.
    sylphy lost control meaningfully... twice... one of which was over something EXTREMELY DEVASTATING... the other... a boy..
    everything was due to the mana calamity. her family gone, her second family scattered (rudy and his family), everything she was working towards hoping to see rudy again (after he would be done training eris).... being transported to a place where you have no idea who and who not to trust and being alone, as a child....... unable to be yourself, to be a child, to even embrace your own sex... that would be hard, to say the least, on anyone.
    (and i would think most people--if they had as close of a connection to buena village and the fittoa region--if they heard nanohoshi say that she caused the mana calamity... they too would be outraged, to say the least.)
    AND YET DESPITE ALL THAT SYLPHY's GONE THROUGH... sylphy isn't jaded or bitter, but is still super sweet feminine nurturing caring pure innocent and devoted. she saved herself for rudy. she's willing to dress and be considered a boy and ward of all the boys...believing that in teh end it won't matter because she's been dreaming she's gonna be with rudy anyways. she's the best waifu for rudy. also best representation of ultimate waifu irl. she's so perfect of an idea it's actually very sad because she's like a unicorn--a woman like that doesn't exist in real life. and if she did it would prob be like 1 in 6 billion lol
    but paul was right... if her heart were to ever be broken by rudy... she would never ever recover. she's too pure and it's largely what makes her amazing.

    Was not needed for you to spoil that part with Paul and Sylphie.
    She was a very young child...with magic powers...that will probably happen irl +90% of the times when the parent tells the child that they are not gonna let them eat 1Kg of icecream.
    At least you said that it's a spoiler........in the description.....like anyone ever reads these -_-
    sorry for my english...i guess
    EDIT: Same for the moment with Nanahoshi...I wouldn't even consider her *HUMAN* (having human emotions) if she didn't burst like how she did.
    So...no...she has nothing to explain about.
    2nd EDIT: And no...I'm not a Sylphie stan...I'm an Eris then Rudy then Paul and maybe then Sylphie stan.
    I'm not some tunnel vision guy that will "hate" Eris for leaving Rudy...because only the fallowing episode she told the audience that she left him so she can get stronger FOR HIM. (And I didn't needed that explanation to not hate her...I knew that her living Rudy was for HIM...because I watched her growing up around Rudy starting from episode 5).
    Same with Paul...I didn't hate Paul starting with episode 4 or before episode 17.
    I understand very well the good person that it is a man in a medieval time period.
