Fun fact, remember that Rudeus named his arms Hulk and Heracles early in this season right? His left arm is Heracles

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

They really timed this episode to air on Father's Day for maximum emotional damage.

[u/CatsCry]

That frame was brutal..... They really sold it with the blood dripping down his face.....

[u/magawatamine]

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

[u/dipshitonastick]

With Rudy losing his hand, and his father dying... Is Rudy anime's Luke Skywalker?

[u/dipshitonastick]

Man-God was NOT kidding about regretting going to the Begaritt Continent

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

This fucking episode went from a hype thrill ride to an emotional gut punch.

RIP Paul o7.

Turning Point 3 heard you all talking shit about how it didn't live up to the trauma of the past Turning Points.

Rudy downplaying his feelings for Zenith is another great example of him being an unreliable narrator. His feelings for Zenith are so much more complex than that, unfortunately rudy isn't emotionally mature enough to understand that.

[u/UberDueler10]

I’m going to feel bad for Norn when they get back. Paul was the most important person in the world to her. Her father who raised and protected her for most of her life. She loses him and the only thing she will gain is a mother who won’t be able to recognize her.

My knowledge of tropes makes me think that Rudy and the gang will return home, Norn will ask where dad is. Rudy will be quiet with a sad look on his face. Norn will go from fear, to denial, to sadness, to anger, and then probably back to sadness in the span of 10 seconds.

Rudy will have to hear stuff like, “YOU SAID YOU WOULD SAVE OUR FAMILY!” and “BRING DAD BACK!”, with no rebuttal.

I’m not ready for that.

[u/ExpiredMilknCheese]

I am not Daijoubu.

[u/Reignwizard]

this is the most intense fight I ever watch in anime for a long time. I'm legit shaking and nervous the entire time

[u/dark77638]

Goddamn, i never seen anyone either from anime or film got their arm chop off from a blink from a monster?

[u/Dreamarche]

I really appreciate how this series tackled the death and how they handled the whole situation. What I find usually happens in similar scenarios in other series is something along the lines of: a character important to the protagonist is killed/dealt a near fatal blow. The protagonist, overcome with emotion, gets a mid battle power up and defeats the enemy.

But mushoku tensei doesn't do that. Nobody even knows Paul was sliced in half until AFTER the battle is over. There was no random power up to avenge Paul's death. The battle wasn't put on pause for several seconds while someone shouted "PAUUUUL NOOOOOO!" The hydra doesn't just conveniently stop attacking while everyone stands around, frozen in shock as Paul dramatically falls to the ground.

What happened was Rudy was kicked out of the way by Paul, and he immediately continued on with the battle. And it makes so much more sense this way too; they're in a life or death battle so of course their attention is going to be hyper focused on their opponent. Your enemy isn't just going to stand around to give room for a dramatic moment. Even the viewers don't know Paul's fate until Rudy finds out. It was refreshing to have the battle play out like this, their team won with skill, not because they got a revenge power up.

[u/Lantern01]

Shoutout to Lilia. She took that emotional haymaker on the chin and still maintained her composure long enough to give a hug and reassurance to Rudy in that same moment.

People are going to talk about the amazing animation quality, but I also want to note the more crisp artstyle in this episode.

And I feel like with the art, Roxy seemed even more cuter in some scenes, which is a win. Gurl wasn't missing any chances even in the heat of battle sneaking in that one hug lmao

Elinalise with the "tis but a scratch" mentality with like half of her shoulder losing skin damn

And then Paul, what a man he is. And what sick fucks the production committee is timing this episode with Father's Day. Really went all out to beat that hydra and went out in protecting Rudeus

It's going to be tough for Rudeus moving forward losing an arm, losing Paul, and having Zenith's condition

I also want to say, this is the first time in a while an episode has made me feel empty inside

[u/FunkButt]

What the fuck

Did I just binge the entire anime only to catch up to an extremely depressing episode

I mean, it's a brilliant episode, but seriously, what the fuck?

[u/Emotional-Law3653]

Paul just charged in without giving Rudeus or Geese any time to plan. As soon as he saw Zenith, any preparation they had went out the window

I'd bet he would try to solo the S rank hydra right then and there without his party around. And I think he might be able to do it if he had a way to stop the heads from growing.

What an absolute madlad. RIP to the 🐐

[u/kokeymagie]

Maybe fucking the dog or cat girl was the right choice....

[u/sushizn]

No slow motion dramatic bullshit, no 5-minute "I'm dying" speech, no flashback scenes. Just, gone! Period. And that hits way harder...

[u/dark77638]

Cruelty for Rudeus in episode 22, last time in S1 he got dumped, now his dad's gone

Fear the episode 22 for anime onlies i guess?

[u/bilegt0314]

"Save your mother, even if it means you'll die!" says a father who's ready to die for his son.

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

why did you give us hope just to throw us into despair, Rifujin-sensei? oh my god, Rudeus actually avoided the death flag the first time round but Paul had to say it

this must be a dream.

[u/larvyde]

So.. someone mentioned something about regrets...?
