@@blackpepper2610 have we seen how bad Paul treat him for you to say that? Paul is not man of year, but that doesn't mean he is blame for all the bad in the world lol. He could be an amazing friend to Geese, and horrible husband at the same time.
“Who’s Geese looking for?” It had been around that point that I had realized that Geese had been looking for Paul’s family in the forest, had gotten captured on purpose when he heard the beast people captured someone, recognized Rudy, said nothing, helped him, stay captured through the rainy season, broke out when Rudy left, steered him to towards the adventures guild in the next city and left, then found Paul and steered him towards the adventures guild (before their major conversation) so that they’d run into each other. M.V.P. (And kudos to the bartender for noticing Rudy was staring at the floor and suggesting he actually look at his dad while talking.)
“I wonder how Paul and Geese met.” Geese matches one of the silhouettes from when Ghislaine talked about their party. I think with that, we’ve now met all of the Fangs of the Black Wolf.
Cut content from this episode! Paul always has his sword on him. He always has a few gold coins and his adventurer's license in the sheath storage compartment. As an S-ranked adventurer, he has special perks he can take advantage of. One of them is renting a horse when taking a quest. Paul used this, took a parcel quest, and promptly threw away the package to get home quicker. He likely lost his adventuring license after that incident. Norn got sick during their dash, and they ended up getting there slower compared to a carriage. After learning about the incident, he met Alfonse, the head butler for the Boreas estate, and together they made the search party to find his family. After years of failing to find his family, and only helping his neighbors, Paul regrets making the search group and instead wished he ignored them all and focused solely on searching for Zentih, Aisha, and Lilia. Though, he puts those thoughts away since that would mean abandoning Norn with her mother's side of the family in Millis, which he isn't on good terms since Zenith ran away nobility to become an adventurer (that said, they do help Paul's group financially or politically to rescue any Buena villagers). The reason why Vierra wears the bikini outfit is because her sister, and many teleportation incident survivors were abused and grew Androphobia. She wears the revealing outfit so she get's the attention away. Phillip, Eris's father, actually sent a letter before the teleportation incident that Eris and Rudeus were kicking off really well and plans to pair them together. This is partly why Paul accused Rudeus of playing with girls last episode. Note that this was an extremely realistic move from Phillip since he didn't think Eris would grow up as a noblewoman and find a place in nobility. Rudeus was the only person to "tame" her and she clearly likes him. He thought this would be the best way to ensure Eris could live a happy life. Infact, Eris began swordsmanship in Phillips hopes that she could at least make money as an adventurer one day. When Eris confronts Paul, he asks if Rudeus is hiding behind a woman. Eris get's back with the legendary line "Rudeus isn't hiding behind me, I'm hiding his failure of a father from him!" Here, it's revealed that Gease has been searching for Paul's family this entire time. The reason why he was imprisoned at the Dedoldia village was because he heard a rumor that a human child was captured. He purposely went and got arrested to help him out. He is now going to the Begaritt continent to search for Paul's missing familiy.
A very sad part for me that I dont think anyone really dove into was Rujerds words to Paul. "You may have grievances but those only matter while your son is alive." I feel like everyone forgets that Rujerd was a father who lost his son. Him saying that shows how painful this is even for him to watch because he would give anything to have his son suddenly appear in his life. Also it is the hardest hitting line imo to Paul to get his shit together and mend it with his son. Great reactions though can't wait to watch more!
Don’t forget the fact that Ruijerd was the one who killed his own son while his son was trying to save him from the curse and now he carries his son’s spear to never forget what had happened! (That has happened 300 years ago and he still mourns his son’s death)
You guys should go back and look at episode 6!! 9 minutes in, Ghislaine is talking about a party she adventured with. They show silhouettes of the group. Bet you can identify them now! :)
Spoiler ye but he does not fully think of him as his new and true father yet in this season, but in s2 he will finally acknowledges him as one but with a price...
About Rudy saying "I had it easy" to Paul, that wasn't honest at all. That was him mindlessly agreeing to whatever Paul said because he was entirely disconnecting himself from the conversation, which is what the barkeep broke by asking Rudy to look at Paul's face. Basically, Rudy wasn't thinking or listening at all. He was just brainlessly nodding and talking self deprecatingly to "bother" Paul as little as possible and make himself as small as possible. It was his instinctual and ingrained approach to avoid dealing with life and disconnecting from reality, something he developed in his previous life with decades of escapism. That disconnection and avoidance was then completely destroyed when he saw Paul's face and couldn't detach himself from it emotionally, both because of the love and relationships he has to his father and the realization and regret of how similar the situation was to one in his past life.
So about Shierra and Vierra, little info. Yeah, they are siblings and both were victims of the mana disaster. Thing is that, Shierra had a "dark" experience after the incident. She was enslaved and abused by multiple people, resulting in distrust and fear toward men, making her afraid of even being looked at. Vierra, for this reason, dresses up the way she does, so every man focus they attention to her instead of her sister Shierra.
Easily a 10/10 episode for me. It''s so satisfying, from start to finish. Even though there's some cut content from the light novel. -You touched on it last episode, but based on Paul's inner thoughts in the light novel, yes, he didn't even think about sex with another girl since the mana disaster happened -Yes, Rudy has to say the incantation for healing because it's hard for him to internalize in his head how muscle or organ repair happens inside the body. In the light novel, his thoughts were that if he had been a doctor back in Earth, he may have been able to cast healing without incantations -With all the love that Geese has been getting from Ben, I'm sure that Caravaggio is now feeling left out lol
Yeah Rudy has to speak the healing spells like everyone else because he doesn't understand how to manipulate mana to make that kind of magic work. It might be different if he was a doctor or something in his previous life and understood how the body works. I think part of it is his 21st century knowledge assisting him in being able to silently cast. He understands things like how warm moist air meeting cold air is what makes thunderstorms form etc.
Im incredible happy to see ppl who cherish the deep moments of this anime as i do. Animes like that are drivin me more and more away from the "real stuff" in TV. I love those moments and this anime is taking it on another level, thats how i feel. Thank you for your reactions, subbed cause i love the way you two react till now. Keep on these nice reacts.
14:04 Yes. They are. The one wearing skimpy armor wears that to draw men’s attention away from her sister because her sister is afraid of men. They were both enslaved after the mana disaster. You can imagine what could’ve happened during enslavement to make her afraid of men.
I love how Anna picks up how Eris cares for Rudy here and is trying to be protective and supportive. It's easy to miss this since we have always had Rudy's POV all this time. It was also fun to see how excited both Ben & Anna got while watching this episode, especially when you consider the dread they expressed before the episode started. 😄
I'm sad that they cut out from the light novel that Rudy cried during his hug with Paul. It was also the first time he had ever cried as Rudy. As for his needing to speak the healing spells it's because he can't really fathom how healing magic works. Like he doesn't understand their mechanics.
I don't know any details beyond what the anime has given reading Ruijerd's past, but every line he gives that regards family bonds carries such a significant weight with it.
The Anime kind of abbreviated his backstory. Definitely more to know about him from the novels. But yes, even with just what the Anime gave, it gives his words massive impact.
I can't even express how much I enjoy your reactions. I'm so fking happy watching you react and discuss a series I love so much that it makes me feel proud or something, idk. Just letting you know that every time you upload these videos I get as happy as I can. Thank you so much for being amazing and for enjoying Mushoku Tensei.
Nice video react. IMO If rudeus needs to say the healing spell incantation it's because he probably lacks knowledge of biology and medicine (from his previous life) and can't visualise the spell. On the other hand, if he masters elementary magic, it is surely thanks to his physical and chemical knowledge, he knows how the weather works, he knows the atoms, the periodic table of the elements, the interactions between molecules. In this case visualising an elemetary spell is more easier for him, and he can cast them without incantation.
I think it's almost the opposite between the time before and after Rudeus seeing Paul's face: Before, he's not trying to "game" at all. Rudeus is still in his own head and feeling guilt about his self-centered actions/perspective. Remember that just yesterday he was physically ill at that moment of realization. He is still deep in his own world and processing his own emotions, After, when he realized what state Paul was in, he purposely adopted a different attitude to give Paul what he needed. Not in a manipulative way, but in service of Paul's healing.
12:36 - I'm sure people already mentioned it, but it has to do with Rudeus not knowing medicine and anatomy much. Like he kinda knows physics of fire, water etc, he can imagine it and thus non verbally incantate, but with healing, no such luck.
Hey guys I love your content! I don't know if either of you read the novels for any of these series but I highly recommend the Mushoku tensei novels. The interactions and world building are more fleshed out, the character emotions and development goes deeper etc.... it's by far the best novel series I've ever read and i hope you 2 give it a shot!
a tidbit cut from the episode about the two sisters. The reason why Vierra wears skimpy clothing is Shierra. They were both teleported and captured by bandits who sexually abused both of them. Vierra was able to recover through sheer willpower, but not Shierra. Shierra suffers from extreme PTSD and cannot deal with men looking at her at all, gratuitously or not. That was why Vierra started wearing revealing clothing, to divert all the male gazes away from her sister.
This was one of my favorite episodes. It really shows their humanity, that these characters don't just exist in a bubble. They have lives of their own even if they aren't the main character on the screen. Paul's scene right in the opening really just summed that up in such a short period of time. Love this anime!
My favorite episode up to now, the way this show handles complex situations and displays emotions is some of the best. I was very worried Paul and Rudy wouldn't leave off on good terms, but I'm so unbelievably happy they did, their hug made me tear up so much! Geese is MVP!
sauros executed as we saw him in real time in the show so it has been like 3 months and news didnt reach the Paul yet. ıt takes like 6 monhts for news to reach in milis continent unless there is special method used. So summary for sauros without spoiling he transported a safe region and made his way to Asura kingdom capital pretty fast. but he got caught in political schemes and died as a result.
about Healing, i haven't read the LN, so idk if it's true but it might be something special, since that's the first magical thing Rudy saw and cast by his mom
From what I know Rudy incorporates knowledge he has from his previous life and this life into his magic, since he can break down the magic's process into his mind he can do it without incantations but he can't do incantationless magic for those magic that he has no knowledge about. For example in episode 3 he mixed fire and water to make it warm for sylphie. But he has no knowledge of medicines and stuff so he has to rely on incantations to be able to cast the spell.
This episode and the previous episodes destroy my tear gland every time. While my eyes were getting all woozy, your t-shirt really caught my attention. What's a "玉犬"ball dog? lol
i would say that is episode is kinda where rudy starts to see paul and the bunch as his ACTUAL family. before that he seems to have thought of them as npc's in this new world which is understandable. im sure all of us would kinda feel the same way at first. plus he only really knew them for about 7 years??? and then was sent away to go live with eris's branch of the family. i also REALLY appreciate the author writing a scene where its up to the viewer to determine whos right and wrong. because both paul and rudy are both right and wrong. pauls gone through hell for the past year and a half and, to be honest, rudy has mostly been having a blast.
The things he said before looking at Paul has the energy of "I'll just agree to everything he says so the conversation can end and I can leave" And regarding sauros execution, he was just easy picking for the other nobles who are always looking for a chance to get more power. This guy that was one of the most powerful noble families suddenly lost most of his wealth and his region, and he definitely wasn't short on enemies, so it was the best chance to rid of him
He still have to say the incantation for the healing spell because he is bad with healing magic. His strongest element is earth, because the action figures he makes uses a lot of mana.
I still can't believe you cut out Eris being the biggest Tsundere blowing her top completely unable to get at Paul thanks to Ruijerd. I loved that scene for just how frantic she is at trying to get to him and it eventually bein enough that Ruijerd had to hit her to make her stop
I love both of your reactions to this episode guys! Oh how I wish that more people be open minded to this show and make it through despite some controversial themes with Rudy because this show truly has one of the BEST Writing that in which makes this show such a MASTERPIECE and on a different league apart other anime or HECK even other shows from other forms of media. Episodes like this remind me of just how I've longed for ACTUAL AMAZING WRITING and just how much it could impact you alone! I mean, the animation of Demon Slayer may be beautiful and all but without it's spectacular animation, I wouldn't even consider it that great and when I read the manga it was just how I exactly felt. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OF THESE REACTIONS FROM YOU GUYS FOR MUSHOKU TENSEI. Trully, It's a shame that alot of people miss out on just how good this show is due to the main character and some sensitive topics that doesn't even really affect the overall quality of the show and is sometimes even INTEGRAL, especially for the character development moments such as this to have JUST THAT MORE IMPACT AND SIGNIFICANCE. I mean, imagine just how tame the conversation between Paul and Rudy would be if he didn't have that kind of relationship with Paul. They'd probably be like some generic father and son dynamic that would either feel just too formal or forced. These little details and nuances definitely give this show LIFE, it's complex, It's a show that portrays life from the good and the ugly sides of it. Life is not some generic feel good anime. Life could be extremely depressing right now or just straight out wholesome tomorrow and you may never know. Anyway another great reaction from you guys! Keep up the great content and I just want yall to know that this channel deserves more viewers as this is definitely one of the more genuine ones that actually care and pay attention to the shows they watch. This is the only channel where I don't skip to the good parts only to see a different kind of face that you guys would make. But rather from start to finish where there is actual substance and call to the attention to detail that I just can't skip with.
the part when rudy says that this has been like a game for him is what really got me here. because it really has been like a game for him, the whole world is a fantasy world like the games he used to play and he didn't really think much about other people really it was all just fun and games and learning new magic because it's cool. even in the demon continent it was like an adventure. so much so that he forgot about his family and just assumed that everything that's not around him doesn't change or nothing happens to them. to the sudden realization that his family has been in extreme danger for more than a year and he didn't put any effort to look for them all this time and realizing that this is not a game. stuff happen to other people that you don't see or know about and you have to think about them at times like these. even in the last episode when he learns about the missing people he thinks of sylphy first before his mother as if he's checking on the heroine of the story. even the pervy stuff he pulls off feels like it's mostly because he doesn't really grasp the reality of this world and that these are actual people that are not just there for his entertainment
It's... kind of like you didn't actually watch this episode. Possibly the series in general. Like I'd go into detail but you got so much wrong that it'd take literal pages to correct. But as a sample, Rudy here is in an extreme negative headspace and is thus filtering his journey through the most negative interpretation he can. He has made the mistake of getting ahead of himself like with the chicken kid and so he takes that lesson and overapplies it to everything he did. It isn't rational thinking. Which is ok and makes sense for him. But not for you. You ought to know better. You had access to more information and significantly reduced emotional burden. And again, that's just the start.
@@Reshapable lol imagine starting a reply with "It's... kind of like you didn't actually watch this episode. Possibly the series in general" jeez. What are you even talking about, it was literally a line of dialogue from the character. And the audience has no reason to believe it's not true especially when Rudy says things like "It's basic MMO strategy" when Eris asked him why he was noting down prices. Like Anna brought up in the discussion, there is a disconnect between Rudy's 2 worlds, sure his mistake with that kid is a good example but a more subtle one is how he never calls his parents Mom and Dad but rather Paul and Zenith, at least not until this episode when he called him father and looked like he genuinely meant it 🤧 what a great episode.
This is factually wrong on many levels. I will only make a couple of points as it would take too much to cover half of it. Though the whole premise is way off point. Well, or taking some lead from the beloved reactors here. That, ironically, go through talking points about Rudeus, as if they are NPC's. Forever projecting the same things on him, making it so they miss much of the depth there. End up twisting very negative things in an almost positive or light hearted manner. Such as Rudeus exhibiting his self loathing(one of his, often ignored, character flaws) under the pressure of severe gaslighting from Paul - "I had it easy". Twisting that into the usual NPC-like talking points about how it's all a "game" to him. Which is so misunderstood and exaggerated, it reduces so much depth into a mindless talking point projected every time it seems convenient. Causing people to misread Rudeus a lot. Such as in this case. There is a general drive to twist things negatively when it comes to Rudeus, but treat other characters far more generously. Even from the 1st few episodes, Rudeus had many moments of genuine emotions, empathic interactions with characters and genuine love and respect. Let alone in these later episodes. He didn't have it easy, he went through traumatic events multiple times, his heart was about to burst when confronting Gallus. He nearly died, more than once. (as for the whole situation of traveling back and 'looking for people', there are so many logical points to be made, it's too much to even start) It was certainly no game to him at those moments. Neither was it a game whenever he is interacting with most characters. If he treated people in that world like NPCs, you should realize, he would be DRASTICALLY different. Funny enough, pretending something is like a game, on a superficial level - is very childlike. And absolutely not exclusive to Rudeus or a fantasy world. Even Eris, treated the journey FAR, FAR more like a game(didn't care about anyone but Rudeus, and Ruijerd to a much lesser extent, always was going on and on about wanting to fight monsters, hunt dragons and basically have fun adventuring, buying cute adventurer clothes etc.). Why not talk about her? Of course she still had glimpses of what is underneath. (far more blatant with Rudeus) You can have a lighthearted attitude, which disappears the moment something actually happens. Which is the clear case with Rudeus.(same with most of his idiotic, crappy thoughts) Mainly the "mistake" Rudeus made was, not being this fantastical perfect being that will descend, snap his fingers, and solve all of Paul's problems. For the most part, he is just a relatively smart kid, with some skill in magic. His intellect also becomes less and less impressive as he grows older. It's impressive for a youngster, not so much for an older person. He is not an actual genius. As for Paul... again too much that can be said. Though that whole premise of trying to twist it as if he had it harder, I don't like. That intro, did nothing of substance to help "justify" his behavior. I've known people that go into despair from the smallest thing. Objectively if 1 person stubs their toe and scream like they are dying, end up depressed and go drink, they don't have it nearly as bad as their neighbor who has cancer, being blasted with radiation and can barely function - but don't end up depressed and do their best. Of course it is subjective but It's of their own doing, Paul is weak minded (he does kind of acknowledge it). So much that he has ironically compromised his ability to even search for his wife(who he most cares about) and the rest of his family(acted like Rudeus doesn't count). Sitting in a tavern getting drunk all day. While his family is still out there, no news that they are dead or anything like that.(it's a big world, 2 or so years is not even that long, evidently, it can take years just to travel from 1 place to another - giving up so easily is ultimately fairly pathetic) He needed a pretty extreme intervention from Geese to even consider making things right. What would happen if Geese wasn't there? There are several more important points to be made regarding the whole thing. But this is enough of an essay, even if it covers very little of what i want to cover. I'll leave it off with 1 more i suppose. Characters in MT act and think like real people (Rudeus included). They have false perceptions of themselves and others. Say and think things that are incorrect about themselves. You cannot take their thoughts and dialogues for granted. (interestingly, again it seems like they are taken more seriously and literally, when it comes to Rudeus specifically - or not so interestingly, knowing why) The psychology of characters in MT is a lot more complex than in other animes. Have to really stop and consider that, more than a passing thought of "Oh yeah i know"
@@BhBc8f8 ^ See? Pages. Basic MMO strategy I.E. market research. He learned it from MMO's, but its a life skill. It has nothing to do with treating the world like a game, it has to do with applying himself in his second life the way he only applied himself to games in his previous one. That's his life's mission this go around, taking his life seriously and applying himself fully so he doesn't end up where he did before. And not calling Paul and Zenith mom and dad isn't a mistake. A mistake suggests error, and to him they aren't his parents, the people he knew for 34 years are. And it's not like he calls them Paul and Zenith to their face. He referred to them as mother and father back during the family meeting remember?
36:47 No, that’s not what happened. Paul doesn’t know what happened to Sauros because Paul doesn’t get information from home due to the fact that he’s a fugitive. He’s a criminal because he’s been freeing slaves. People that became slaves as a result of the mana disaster.
geese is monkey man.geese also voluntary imprison to check who's the kid got jail in beast forest. he also a part of the adventure party with paul,zenith and ghislaine.
Alright so I’ve seen debates based off of these last few episodes alone on whether Geese is actually man-god. This is not confirmed or a plot point as of now in the story (or at least I couldn’t find it by looking it up), but the mannerisms of Geese resemble man-god’s a lot. The way he talks is almost identical and the voice is very similar too. The fact that he went out of his way to find Rudy, why Rudy was born as Paul’s son (probably because of their connection), how geese repaired their relationship so effortlessly (showing he’s pretty good at manipulation like man-god), and maybe some other reasons, but purely a theory that I think makes a lot of sense and can maybe change perspectives on how things got to where they are.
This is actually very interesting! It kinda makes sense now that I think about it, I wonder if it would be because Rudy is like on guard with the Man-God in his visions so he went out of his way to manipulate him by using this "Geese" persona since Rudy seems to trust him more? That would be a masterclass idea ngl
34:19 Actually, and this is only a minor spoiler because it isn’t even revealed in the main story, it’s revealed in the epilogue, the mana disaster was an accident.
The opening of this episode had more character building than most shows have in entire episodes. The way MT does openings is such a treat.
The best opening for whole season.
And the best episode too.
Yup. Kind of similar to the opening of the movie Up. This scene was able to establish his point of view in just under a minute.
"You're both alive and well. Start by celebrating that."
Geese is such a great character! Paul has a great friend in him.
And ruijerd saying: "You may have your grievances, but those only matter while your son is alive". These two are incredible.
That's why he makes me more mad.

Cut content from this episode!
Paul always has his sword on him. He always has a few gold coins and his adventurer's license in the sheath storage compartment.
As an S-ranked adventurer, he has special perks he can take advantage of. One of them is renting a horse when taking a quest.
Paul used this, took a parcel quest, and promptly threw away the package to get home quicker. He likely lost his adventuring license after that incident.
Norn got sick during their dash, and they ended up getting there slower compared to a carriage.

Though, he puts those thoughts away since that would mean abandoning Norn with her mother's side of the family in Millis, which he isn't on good terms since Zenith ran away nobility to become an adventurer (that said, they do help Paul's group financially or politically to rescue any Buena villagers).

She was enslaved and abused by multiple people, resulting in distrust and fear toward men, making her afraid of even being looked at. Vierra, for this reason, dresses up the way she does, so every man focus they attention to her instead of her sister Shierra.
Not quite. Its not just Shierra. Vierra was also enslaved and violated by men. She was just able to better recover from it.
Vierra's a bit of a badass for that.
Easily a 10/10 episode for me. It''s so satisfying, from start to finish. Even though there's some cut content from the light novel.
-You touched on it last episode, but based on Paul's inner thoughts in the light novel, yes, he didn't even think about sex with another girl since the mana disaster happened
-Yes, Rudy has to say the incantation for healing because it's hard for him to internalize in his head how muscle or organ repair happens inside the body. In the light novel, his thoughts were that if he had been a doctor back in Earth, he may have been able to cast healing without incantations
-With all the love that Geese has been getting from Ben, I'm sure that Caravaggio is now feeling left out lol
Geese's and Ruijerd's lines in this episode always gets me man..
Yeah Rudy has to speak the healing spells like everyone else because he doesn't understand how to manipulate mana to make that kind of magic work. It might be different if he was a doctor or something in his previous life and understood how the body works. I think part of it is his 21st century knowledge assisting him in being able to silently cast. He understands things like how warm moist air meeting cold air is what makes thunderstorms form etc.
The Barkeep was the MVP of this episode! Honestly, all of the older men this episode gave some amazing advice!
Its a hard fought title with Ruijerd and Geese in this episode.
Can't belive Paul is 30
Geese was the Scout in Paul's team in the past. Zenith was their mage. Ghislaine their "Swordman"
Im incredible happy to see ppl who cherish the deep moments of this anime as i do.
Animes like that are drivin me more and more away from the "real stuff" in TV. I love those moments and this anime is taking it on another level, thats how i feel.
Thank you for your reactions, subbed cause i love the way you two react till now.
Keep on these nice reacts.
Geese and Ruijerd are such gigachads, I fucking love them.
Edit: im tearing up just re-seeing this ep.
The Opening of this episode is phenomenal! Possibly the best intro in Mushoku Tensei!
Paul has been through so much since the disaster!
He really stepped up. proud of him 🎖
14:04 Yes. They are. The one wearing skimpy armor wears that to draw men’s attention away from her sister because her sister is afraid of men. They were both enslaved after the mana disaster. You can imagine what could’ve happened during enslavement to make her afraid of men.
17話のお二人の実況が見れて本当に嬉しいです！見た後の考察も大好きです！応援しています✨
Ruijerd really pushed for them to get back together.
He knew what it was like to lose a son.
Gotta love them while you have them.
I love how Anna picks up how Eris cares for Rudy here and is trying to be protective and supportive. It's easy to miss this since we have always had Rudy's POV all this time.
It was also fun to see how excited both Ben & Anna got while watching this episode, especially when you consider the dread they expressed before the episode started. 😄
I'm sad that they cut out from the light novel that Rudy cried during his hug with Paul. It was also the first time he had ever cried as Rudy. As for his needing to speak the healing spells it's because he can't really fathom how healing magic works. Like he doesn't understand their mechanics.
You know Geese is actually a member of The Fang of Black Wolf 😁
32:52 It was the Fittoa Region, which includes Rudy’s hometown of Buena Village, Eris’s hometown of Roa, and likely other small villages and cities.
18:42 Geese was a member of Paul’s party, the Fangs of the Black Wolf
That sigh relief knowing everyone wants what’s best for both of them 😊 you guys are great!!
this show is a masterpiece the characters development is insane , and they make it feel like ur hearing a real conversation not just an anime
I cry a little every time i saw again, it's a peak in anime and a very big peak in Isekai animes, few can make you feel like this
I've rewatched this who knows how many times, but this episode still makes be cry like a bitch
Bruh same
That opening makes me cry every time.
I always cry with this episode 😭
I have been anticipating this reaction and as usual you didn't disappoint.
Seems like they didn't realize that Geese was a member of "Fang of the black wolf"
I don't know any details beyond what the anime has given reading Ruijerd's past, but every line he gives that regards family bonds carries such a significant weight with it.
The Anime kind of abbreviated his backstory. Definitely more to know about him from the novels. But yes, even with just what the Anime gave, it gives his words massive impact.
This is seriously a very different reaction channel, and I love it. I love the analysis on this channel, amazing
I can't even express how much I enjoy your reactions. I'm so fking happy watching you react and discuss a series I love so much that it makes me feel proud or something, idk. Just letting you know that every time you upload these videos I get as happy as I can. Thank you so much for being amazing and for enjoying Mushoku Tensei.
Nice video react.
IMO If rudeus needs to say the healing spell incantation it's because he probably lacks knowledge of biology and medicine (from his previous life) and can't visualise the spell. On the other hand, if he masters elementary magic, it is surely thanks to his physical and chemical knowledge, he knows how the weather works, he knows the atoms, the periodic table of the elements, the interactions between molecules. In this case visualising an elemetary spell is more easier for him, and he can cast them without incantation.
Such a great pay off this episode. People that dropped this show early on missed out.
Imagine dropping this show… a goddamn disaster that would be.
I think it's almost the opposite between the time before and after Rudeus seeing Paul's face:
Before, he's not trying to "game" at all. Rudeus is still in his own head and feeling guilt about his self-centered actions/perspective. Remember that just yesterday he was physically ill at that moment of realization. He is still deep in his own world and processing his own emotions,
After, when he realized what state Paul was in, he purposely adopted a different attitude to give Paul what he needed. Not in a manipulative way, but in service of Paul's healing.
i swear your reactions are so good that i went to the like button 4 times during the video 😅
Note also that this is the first time Rudy (inner monologue Rudy) called Paul his father.
Thank goodness. I was going through Mushoku Tensei withdrawals and needed my hit. I always love the episode discussions you have.
Ruijerd's line is so strong because he thinks of himself as the worst father.
He killed his own son after all.
12:36 - I'm sure people already mentioned it, but it has to do with Rudeus not knowing medicine and anatomy much. Like he kinda knows physics of fire, water etc, he can imagine it and thus non verbally incantate, but with healing, no such luck.
Hey guys I love your content! I don't know if either of you read the novels for any of these series but I highly recommend the Mushoku tensei novels. The interactions and world building are more fleshed out, the character emotions and development goes deeper etc.... it's by far the best novel series I've ever read and i hope you 2 give it a shot!
a tidbit cut from the episode about the two sisters. The reason why Vierra wears skimpy clothing is Shierra. They were both teleported and captured by bandits who sexually abused both of them. Vierra was able to recover through sheer willpower, but not Shierra. Shierra suffers from extreme PTSD and cannot deal with men looking at her at all, gratuitously or not. That was why Vierra started wearing revealing clothing, to divert all the male gazes away from her sister.
This was one of my favorite episodes. It really shows their humanity, that these characters don't just exist in a bubble. They have lives of their own even if they aren't the main character on the screen. Paul's scene right in the opening really just summed that up in such a short period of time.
Love this anime!
We need to remember this Isekai it's not about action and overpower MC this anime focus on Drama and Fantasy
Indomie 👍😤
Demon Slayer best fantasy though?!?

Been waiting for this episode! Especially Paul's perspective of the mana disaster. But what about Edgerunners finale? I was excited for that too.
Best bartender ever. He only said one line, and yet he solidified himself as my favorite bartender ever.
My favorite episode up to now, the way this show handles complex situations and displays emotions is some of the best. I was very worried Paul and Rudy wouldn't leave off on good terms, but I'm so unbelievably happy they did, their hug made me tear up so much! Geese is MVP!
sauros executed as we saw him in real time in the show so it has been like 3 months and news didnt reach the Paul yet. ıt takes like 6 monhts for news to reach in milis continent unless there is special method used. So summary for sauros without spoiling he transported a safe region and made his way to Asura kingdom capital pretty fast. but he got caught in political schemes and died as a result.
about Healing, i haven't read the LN, so idk if it's true but it might be something special, since that's the first magical thing Rudy saw and cast by his mom
From what I know Rudy incorporates knowledge he has from his previous life and this life into his magic, since he can break down the magic's process into his mind he can do it without incantations but he can't do incantationless magic for those magic that he has no knowledge about.
For example in episode 3 he mixed fire and water to make it warm for sylphie. But he has no knowledge of medicines and stuff so he has to rely on incantations to be able to cast the spell.
WOOOOOOO, this is the best time of my week

Author has written a masterpiece
i would say that is episode is kinda where rudy starts to see paul and the bunch as his ACTUAL family. before that he seems to have thought of them as npc's in this new world which is understandable. im sure all of us would kinda feel the same way at first. plus he only really knew them for about 7 years??? and then was sent away to go live with eris's branch of the family.
i also REALLY appreciate the author writing a scene where its up to the viewer to determine whos right and wrong. because both paul and rudy are both right and wrong. pauls gone through hell for the past year and a half and, to be honest, rudy has mostly been having a blast.
To date this is the single best episode of anime I have ever seen.
The things he said before looking at Paul has the energy of "I'll just agree to everything he says so the conversation can end and I can leave"
And regarding sauros execution, he was just easy picking for the other nobles who are always looking for a chance to get more power. This guy that was one of the most powerful noble families suddenly lost most of his wealth and his region, and he definitely wasn't short on enemies, so it was the best chance to rid of him
Favorite episode of the season ! Loved this.
He still have to say the incantation for the healing spell because he is bad with healing magic. His strongest element is earth, because the action figures he makes uses a lot of mana.
Finally! The first of the pastry episodes. It's a shame they didn't notice how awesome the bread looked 👀
I still can't believe you cut out Eris being the biggest Tsundere blowing her top completely unable to get at Paul thanks to Ruijerd. I loved that scene for just how frantic she is at trying to get to him and it eventually bein enough that Ruijerd had to hit her to make her stop
the scene from his real life of him tied up breaks my heart
I love human connection,
all my homies love meaningful relationships, overcome struggles, and growing together
I love both of your reactions to this episode guys! Oh how I wish that more people be open minded to this show and make it through despite some controversial themes with Rudy because this show truly has one of the BEST Writing that in which makes this show such a MASTERPIECE and on a different league apart other anime or HECK even other shows from other forms of media. Episodes like this remind me of just how I've longed for ACTUAL AMAZING WRITING and just how much it could impact you alone! I mean, the animation of Demon Slayer may be beautiful and all but without it's spectacular animation, I wouldn't even consider it that great and when I read the manga it was just how I exactly felt.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OF THESE REACTIONS FROM YOU GUYS FOR MUSHOKU TENSEI. Trully, It's a shame that alot of people miss out on just how good this show is due to the main character and some sensitive topics that doesn't even really affect the overall quality of the show and is sometimes even INTEGRAL, especially for the character development moments such as this to have JUST THAT MORE IMPACT AND SIGNIFICANCE.
I mean, imagine just how tame the conversation between Paul and Rudy would be if he didn't have that kind of relationship with Paul. They'd probably be like some generic father and son dynamic that would either feel just too formal or forced. These little details and nuances definitely give this show LIFE, it's complex, It's a show that portrays life from the good and the ugly sides of it. Life is not some generic feel good anime. Life could be extremely depressing right now or just straight out wholesome tomorrow and you may never know.
Anyway another great reaction from you guys! Keep up the great content and I just want yall to know that this channel deserves more viewers as this is definitely one of the more genuine ones that actually care and pay attention to the shows they watch. This is the only channel where I don't skip to the good parts only to see a different kind of face that you guys would make. But rather from start to finish where there is actual substance and call to the attention to detail that I just can't skip with.
:3 you will go nuts when you understand what gees is doing and why.
the part when rudy says that this has been like a game for him is what really got me here. because it really has been like a game for him, the whole world is a fantasy world like the games he used to play and he didn't really think much about other people really it was all just fun and games and learning new magic because it's cool. even in the demon continent it was like an adventure. so much so that he forgot about his family and just assumed that everything that's not around him doesn't change or nothing happens to them. to the sudden realization that his family has been in extreme danger for more than a year and he didn't put any effort to look for them all this time and realizing that this is not a game. stuff happen to other people that you don't see or know about and you have to think about them at times like these. even in the last episode when he learns about the missing people he thinks of sylphy first before his mother as if he's checking on the heroine of the story. even the pervy stuff he pulls off feels like it's mostly because he doesn't really grasp the reality of this world and that these are actual people that are not just there for his entertainment
It's... kind of like you didn't actually watch this episode. Possibly the series in general. Like I'd go into detail but you got so much wrong that it'd take literal pages to correct. But as a sample, Rudy here is in an extreme negative headspace and is thus filtering his journey through the most negative interpretation he can. He has made the mistake of getting ahead of himself like with the chicken kid and so he takes that lesson and overapplies it to everything he did. It isn't rational thinking. Which is ok and makes sense for him. But not for you. You ought to know better. You had access to more information and significantly reduced emotional burden. And again, that's just the start.
@@Reshapable lol imagine starting a reply with "It's... kind of like you didn't actually watch this episode. Possibly the series in general" jeez. What are you even talking about, it was literally a line of dialogue from the character. And the audience has no reason to believe it's not true especially when Rudy says things like "It's basic MMO strategy" when Eris asked him why he was noting down prices. Like Anna brought up in the discussion, there is a disconnect between Rudy's 2 worlds, sure his mistake with that kid is a good example but a more subtle one is how he never calls his parents Mom and Dad but rather Paul and Zenith, at least not until this episode when he called him father and looked like he genuinely meant it 🤧 what a great episode.
This is factually wrong on many levels. I will only make a couple of points as it would take too much to cover half of it. Though the whole premise is way off point.
Well, or taking some lead from the beloved reactors here. That, ironically, go through talking points about Rudeus, as if they are NPC's. Forever projecting the same things on him, making it so they miss much of the depth there. End up twisting very negative things in an almost positive or light hearted manner.
Such as Rudeus exhibiting his self loathing(one of his, often ignored, character flaws) under the pressure of severe gaslighting from Paul - "I had it easy". Twisting that into the usual NPC-like talking points about how it's all a "game" to him. Which is so misunderstood and exaggerated, it reduces so much depth into a mindless talking point projected every time it seems convenient. Causing people to misread Rudeus a lot. Such as in this case.
There is a general drive to twist things negatively when it comes to Rudeus, but treat other characters far more generously.
Even from the 1st few episodes, Rudeus had many moments of genuine emotions, empathic interactions with characters and genuine love and respect. Let alone in these later episodes. He didn't have it easy, he went through traumatic events multiple times, his heart was about to burst when confronting Gallus. He nearly died, more than once. (as for the whole situation of traveling back and 'looking for people', there are so many logical points to be made, it's too much to even start)
It was certainly no game to him at those moments. Neither was it a game whenever he is interacting with most characters. If he treated people in that world like NPCs, you should realize, he would be DRASTICALLY different.
Funny enough, pretending something is like a game, on a superficial level - is very childlike. And absolutely not exclusive to Rudeus or a fantasy world. Even Eris, treated the journey FAR, FAR more like a game(didn't care about anyone but Rudeus, and Ruijerd to a much lesser extent, always was going on and on about wanting to fight monsters, hunt dragons and basically have fun adventuring, buying cute adventurer clothes etc.). Why not talk about her? Of course she still had glimpses of what is underneath. (far more blatant with Rudeus)
You can have a lighthearted attitude, which disappears the moment something actually happens. Which is the clear case with Rudeus.(same with most of his idiotic, crappy thoughts)
Mainly the "mistake" Rudeus made was, not being this fantastical perfect being that will descend, snap his fingers, and solve all of Paul's problems. For the most part, he is just a relatively smart kid, with some skill in magic. His intellect also becomes less and less impressive as he grows older. It's impressive for a youngster, not so much for an older person. He is not an actual genius.
As for Paul... again too much that can be said.
Though that whole premise of trying to twist it as if he had it harder, I don't like. That intro, did nothing of substance to help "justify" his behavior. I've known people that go into despair from the smallest thing. Objectively if 1 person stubs their toe and scream like they are dying, end up depressed and go drink, they don't have it nearly as bad as their neighbor who has cancer, being blasted with radiation and can barely function - but don't end up depressed and do their best.
Of course it is subjective but It's of their own doing, Paul is weak minded (he does kind of acknowledge it). So much that he has ironically compromised his ability to even search for his wife(who he most cares about) and the rest of his family(acted like Rudeus doesn't count). Sitting in a tavern getting drunk all day. While his family is still out there, no news that they are dead or anything like that.(it's a big world, 2 or so years is not even that long, evidently, it can take years just to travel from 1 place to another - giving up so easily is ultimately fairly pathetic)
He needed a pretty extreme intervention from Geese to even consider making things right. What would happen if Geese wasn't there?
There are several more important points to be made regarding the whole thing. But this is enough of an essay, even if it covers very little of what i want to cover.
I'll leave it off with 1 more i suppose.
Characters in MT act and think like real people (Rudeus included). They have false perceptions of themselves and others. Say and think things that are incorrect about themselves. You cannot take their thoughts and dialogues for granted. (interestingly, again it seems like they are taken more seriously and literally, when it comes to Rudeus specifically - or not so interestingly, knowing why)
The psychology of characters in MT is a lot more complex than in other animes. Have to really stop and consider that, more than a passing thought of "Oh yeah i know"
@@BhBc8f8 ^ See? Pages.
Basic MMO strategy I.E. market research. He learned it from MMO's, but its a life skill. It has nothing to do with treating the world like a game, it has to do with applying himself in his second life the way he only applied himself to games in his previous one. That's his life's mission this go around, taking his life seriously and applying himself fully so he doesn't end up where he did before.
And not calling Paul and Zenith mom and dad isn't a mistake. A mistake suggests error, and to him they aren't his parents, the people he knew for 34 years are. And it's not like he calls them Paul and Zenith to their face. He referred to them as mother and father back during the family meeting remember?
観る度に泣く話
しっかりアニメ化されて良かった。
36:47 No, that’s not what happened. Paul doesn’t know what happened to Sauros because Paul doesn’t get information from home due to the fact that he’s a fugitive. He’s a criminal because he’s been freeing slaves. People that became slaves as a result of the mana disaster.
I rarely comment but this time I have to. Excellent reaction and discussion guys.
Nice reaction and discussion!
Very good question, where did Geese hear that name before?
I almost thought I could’t watch the episode before sleep and just as I lie down in my bed, here it is 😊
This show is peak
Can't wait for the next arcs getting animated
geese is monkey man.geese also voluntary imprison to check who's the kid got jail in beast forest. he also a part of the adventure party with paul,zenith and ghislaine.
Alright so I’ve seen debates based off of these last few episodes alone on whether Geese is actually man-god. This is not confirmed or a plot point as of now in the story (or at least I couldn’t find it by looking it up), but the mannerisms of Geese resemble man-god’s a lot.
The way he talks is almost identical and the voice is very similar too. The fact that he went out of his way to find Rudy, why Rudy was born as Paul’s son (probably because of their connection), how geese repaired their relationship so effortlessly (showing he’s pretty good at manipulation like man-god), and maybe some other reasons, but purely a theory that I think makes a lot of sense and can maybe change perspectives on how things got to where they are.
This is actually very interesting! It kinda makes sense now that I think about it, I wonder if it would be because Rudy is like on guard with the Man-God in his visions so he went out of his way to manipulate him by using this "Geese" persona since Rudy seems to trust him more? That would be a masterclass idea ngl
Guys I’m so excited for Season 2!!! July 3rd let’s goooooooooooo 🤗
WATCH THE OVA NEXT!! It takes place during ep 16 but Eris's perspective!!!!
Check the fangs of the black wolf silhouettes again :)
i believe Rudy just gave up and went all "yeah, you're right, it was fun, i had it easy, ill go look for the rest of the family now. happy?"
34:19 Actually, and this is only a minor spoiler because it isn’t even revealed in the main story, it’s revealed in the epilogue, the mana disaster was an accident.
Geese never stopped finding them 😭
Such a beautiful episode and sharing the experience with you guys is the absolute best, keep them coming!
My theory is that geese is an incarnation of the man-god
Nope.
half wrong, half right, thats all I could say
I cant wait for the next season in July!!!! That will by even GREATER then this 2 seasons. Dont forget to watch ep 17/5 - Eris the goblin slayer!
12:33 u just foreshadowing some thing lol.
It’s funny they noticed he has to chant to heal
Who would know better than Rudy that focusing on the negatives will only drag you down? He already lived that life and he's trying to leave it behind.
Ruijerd, Geese and the Bartender 🙏
yeahhh it's here
Wasn't geese part of Paul's party
The new OP is so good, it fits very well with the episode
Sorry if I'm being rude guys but in case any mods see this, will we get the cyberpunk finale this week?
