2025-09-01 15:06:27 +0000 UTCNot sure if someone said it already, but the thing with Rudy that we tend to overlook due to him being a perv, is that he GREATLY ties intimacy with sex. While the ED was due to abandonment, his need for a close connection with someone made it that much harder for him to overcome it. In the light novel while they were brainstorming how to help, Elinalise talks about Geese taking him to a brothel and his response was this: "Not so sure about that," said Geese, doubtful. "You really think Rudeus will cheer up havin' sex with some girl he doesn't know?" It was pretty much known by them that he needed a connection with someone for that, and even throwing the idea of a brothel out there was the type of thing that they knew wasn't a valid option already, but just didn't have much else to say by that point.

2025-08-30 11:25:01 +0000 UTCIf you are anime only, i suggest waiting for the season 3 and keeping your expectations on the level they are right now. You will either be pleasantly surprised, or not disappointed. If you finished novel, then it's probably not your cup of tea in the first place. Still, it's great that you enjoyed the story so far without preconceived animosity, so even if this was the tipping point for you, thanks for sticking for all that time and finding something in this show for you.

2025-08-28 23:05:41 +0000 UTCThis is the point in the story that I stopped being invested on Rudy's character development. It felt like a really "forced" action by the author. Like the harem was a foregone conclusion and author just made up the circurstances to push in that direction. I still enjoy everything else, but Rudy's growth was one of the main selling point of series for me so this felt very backwards IMO

2025-08-28 21:39:56 +0000 UTCMy perspective in the context of Roxy and Rudy's affair: Rudy using his depression as an excuse is 100% a cop out and it was absolutely a mistake on both of their parts. But that's one of the major messages of this story. Good people are flawed and make mistakes, but that doesn't mean they aren't human or above learning from them. Sometimes in life, mistakes can actually lead to good things either through growth or coming face to face with your shortcomings. The "growth" that the story is working towards isn't just solely for Rudy at all. This affair was certainly a weak moment for him, but it was also a huge opportunity for grown on Roxy's part. As well as Sylphy. Facing these kinds of awful situations and being able to overcome them only makes relationships of all kinds that much stronger. In actuality, relationships aren't all sunshine and rainbows. Sure, the author could've written Rudy just getting over his post-traumatic experience by himself. But his weakness allowed the exploration of Roxy's own insecurities and paved the way for her honesty with Sylphy. The way I see it, Roxy and Rudeus' mistakes allowed Roxy to be open with Sylphy in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. So either she never would've been accepted into the family and forced so abandon the love she had been searching for for pretty much her whole life, or there would have been a lot more hidden animosity between them and a lingering sense of unease within the family. This theme has been core to the story since the beginning. It didn't shy away from showing all of the worst parts of people that we grew to love. Rudeus was a disgusting pervert. Paul was a womanizing narcissist, unfaithful husband, and shitty drunk dad who partly blamed his son for his misfortune. Cliff was a spoiled entitled brat when we first met him. Eris was an violent, spoiled, and neglected princess who threw tantrums when she didn't get her way. Now look where they ended up. So many of our beloved characters were awful people if you step back and take a look at them. But they eventually grew and learned from their mistakes and became greater for it. The author wants people to realize that these mistakes happen all the time, they are an unfortunate reality in our world. When I was younger my own mother once almost cheated on my father and came dangerously close to wrecking our own family. The situation was complicated and I didn't quite understand it at the time, but I definitely remember being scared of my family splitting up and by all rights my dad would be justified to just leave her right then and there. Instead, they sat down and had a brutal heart to heart with each other. It definitely wasn't pretty, and there was certainly some shouting. My mother had to deal with the shame and humiliation of being caught speaking and potentially planning a relationship with another man and my dad was understandably emotional and hurt. But through this they opened up with the problems they were keeping bottled up. My mom realized how stupid and mistaken she had been, and my dad ultimately chose to forgive her and presumably figure out why she felt she was missing something in the relationship. They've remained together ever since and they trust each other even more than they did before this whole incident occurred, even to the point of joking about it now. In an ideal world, this would've never happened and I would've never heard them arguing through the walls in my room. But it did, and I learned a lot that day and came to an understanding on how relationships work because of those potential life-ruining mistakes happening. I saw familiarities in the lessons being taught from Paul's infidelity in S1 and again with the Rudy and Roxy incident in this season. It's not condoning those actions, but reminding us that they are human. That's what I mean when I say the way this story covers its less tasteful moments feels so real. It's not our mistakes that define us, it's how we correct them and grow. How we learn from our mistakes, and the people around us too.

2025-08-28 19:34:36 +0000 UTCOne thing I want to add to context that your friend gave, is the very medieval way adventurers deal with grief in this world. It is mentioned in the books that most adventurers deal with grief with sex. We have seen this many times in other media. A good example is Game of Thrones. Whether it be before going to war or after a difficult battle, the soldiers always go to the brothels. A brothel was actually the first suggestion to get Rudeus to snap out of it, but the idea was shot down by Roxy who said that she did not think that would work with Rudeus. This idea is further reinforced by the fact that a brothel was the first go to for Soldat when he was trying to get Rudy out of his depression.

2025-08-28 19:34:29 +0000 UTCThe purpose of adding Roxy as Rudeus's wife is unfortunately a huge spoiler. So I'll just leave you guys to theorize like normal. The good news is that you don't have to wait too long to find out. S3 should cover it.

2025-08-28 19:21:22 +0000 UTCI really disagree that Roxy being pregnant and convincing everybody that she needed to be a wife would be a better story. That would really feel like strong arming both Rudy and Sylphie into accepting her rather than it being of mutual respect/love. I felt like the Paul parallel was meant to show us that Rudy is like Paul in wanting multiple women, but that he’s different in his approach. He comes clean immediately about what happened, he’s way more repentant, he’s honest about how greedy hes being. Sylphie knows her husband and im sure these things influenced her actions/decisions. He’s not amazing, but he’s making his mistakes and learning. Love you guys

2025-08-28 19:09:24 +0000 UTCWhy does Roxy feel guilt? Why is Sylphie so accepting of Rudy having a second wife? Why does Rudy seem so somber if this is fantasy fulfillment? Why does Aisha hold back from embracing her Mother? Why is Norn apologetic to Aisha? Each of these characters for their own reasons believes they are unworthy of love. Roxy feels guilt because she is a crippled misfit. She has never been comfortable with Rudy's glowing praise of her. She has long thought she needed to have a human partner, because they would be unconcerned about her inability to speak telepathically and Paul and Zenith's loving family left a deep impression on her. Yes, she loves Rudy, yes he is everything she has ever dreamed of, yet she feels like she is taking advantage of him. She feels unworthy of him. Sylphie has long had Rudy on a pedestal. He is her savior, friend and teacher. She is a cursed girl of mixed race who was a green haired freak. Her examples of relationships were her parents, Paul, Zenith, and Lilia and the lifestyles of the Royals in and out of the Asura palace. Sylphie has true jealousy with certain individuals, when drunk one time she irritably told Rudy to stop talking about Ruijerd. But she never considered that she would be a nobleman like Rudy's only wife. She feels unworthy of him. Do I even need to talk about why Rudy feels unworthy of love? Aisha even with Rudy's reassurance still see's herself as lesser in the household. She is the "half" sister. She is the mistress's daughter. She is the one who has to be perfect and even then it isn't good enough. She puts herself in the role of the lesser, the maid, the attendant because then she will get praise, she won't be told she's overstepping her bounds. Did you notice that while Rudy and Norn were sparing, and Sylphie and Roxy were talking everyone was ok with Aisha building a pen for Jiro the monster armadillo? Norn, still living in her brother and sister's shadow. Still trying her hardest and knowing it will never be as good as what Rudy and Aisha could do. Now dealing with the loss of the parent she held dear and the one she doesn't remember as well returning with a disability. If this is fantasy wish fulfillment why does it feel so painful? Because this show doesn't do no consequences. The Six Faced world may not always work the way we think it should, but there are always consequences.

2025-08-28 18:08:23 +0000 UTCSo why Roxy feels guilt even though marrying multiple wives is common in this world comes down to human nature. Jealousy isn't learned it's a natural reaction and she

2025-08-28 16:11:09 +0000 UTCGreat ending to a great series of reactions guys. My my how far Rudy has come. Graham as someone who knows what is coming let me say, "I find your lack of faith...disturbing." IF you do listen to the audio books do not proceed past the 12th volume. Also I would love now to see your reactions to the season 2 openings and endings.

2025-08-28 15:46:19 +0000 UTCIf Rudy did not go as soon as he went Roxy would have been trapped in the labyrinth and most likely pass away

2025-08-28 15:01:26 +0000 UTCGreat reactions as always, guys! And... Happy Father’s Day Btw Episode 19 was delayed a week if it wasn’t this wouldn’t have been released on Father’s Day the anime creators are cruel to make us watch Paul die on Father’s Day (Also, Turning Point 3 aired on Mother's Day, the day Sylphie learned she was pregnant) I really appreciate how the episode let the moment breathe. It was directed in a way that made you feel the gravitas of it all. The thing that really hit me was how silent it became. Everything falls away and all you're left with are your thoughts and silence. No background music, no speaking, just silence as Rudy is confronted with the result. A lot of stuff happened, a lot of really cool stuff happened, yet the only thing you can focus on is that Paul is gone. And everything from then on is quiet. Rudy (and by extension the viewers) doesn't hear anything of what is being said around him. It's like, he's aware things are happening and people are moving, but he's not fully present. He's in shock. I think the choice to have Lilia's words be the first thing we hear in several minutes is brilliant. And just when you think "at least Rudy has his mother back" we're blindsided again - what was that interaction? Is she gone, too? Did Rudy really come out of this having essentially lost both parents? And i will be posting a few informations for context of episode 22: - there's more to the part where Paul tells his son, "Save your mother even if it kills you." In the "Paul Gaiden: Runaway Arc," we learn that when Paul was young, his mother died, and his family, including his dad, blamed him for her death. Overwhelmed by guilt and believing he was responsible, Paul ran away. He lived with the regret of not being able to save his mother, and this haunted him for years. This backstory, missing from the main novel, gives depth to Paul's character and explains why he tells his son to save his mother no matter what. He's trying to prevent his son from experiencing the same crushing regret he did. - Paul's second sword is a magic sword that gets sharper the harder the "thing" that he is trying to cut is. (It was mentioned in the LN when they were fighting the armored skeletons before fighting this boss.) The hydra's defeat was only possible because of that blade plus his experience. - the reason Rudy looks lost, and has a moment where he he seems unsure of himself during the fight (right before his father kick), is because the Hydra was deliberately using its cut off heads as a distraction, and Rudy's eye which sees the immediate future got him totally confused as he couldn't make out what he was seeing with the Hydra's flailing heads working as a distraction. - the reason Rudy had to burn his father's corpse and crush his bones was to prevent the labyrinth from reanimating him. Small fun fact. In the beginning of Season 2 when Rudy was working out he named his muscles and the name he chose for the left hand was Hercules and that's the same hand that was torn off. The show has a lot of subtle blink and you miss it foreshadowing like that.

2025-08-28 12:44:50 +0000 UTCDefinitely something we could check out on a live stream. If not it could happen as a video at some point. Do we avoid spoilers as much as possible, or watch it for the content 😱
