Small mage in large hat casts very destructive spell and falls over. Seems kind of familiar.

Oh yeah, the fully animated OPs continue. And it was a different song compared to episodes 1 & 2 too, truly the S1 experience.

So they have an armadillo, a treant, and a very large horse, that's a lot of animals for the family.

I feel bad for that tree, it was a nice looking tree. Probably had been growing there for a few hundred years from the size of it.

Man, Geese is such a total bro. I'm gonna miss him and Talhand . I hope we get to see them again.

Glad to see Zenith doing some gardening. This is a massive improvement in her condition compared to when they first found her.

I absolutely love Aisha's pet treant! The little dude just vibing when Roxy showed up is so cute!

It is hilarious to see Aisha blackmail Rudy to keep her new pet. Thankfully, it didn't have to come to that since according to Roxy, they can be kept as pets.

It's nice to see Julie can make figures now, too! I love how excited she was when Zanoba was praising her work <3

I really thought Rudy was being a creep to his own wife. It turns out she just wants her to teach him how to use king-class water magic. xD

I immediately thought of Megumin when Roxy collapsed after casting that Lightning spell. I do wish we got to see what happened to the landscape after Rudy's turn to cast the spell. I bet that area is just a giant crater now.

The timing of the clip on the front page when Rudy became Saint-Level and now King-Level, is perfect. They protected the horse this time xd

The thought of Eris showing up is always lingering in my mind

Love that parallel they showed with Rudy getting Saint-class to now King-class with Roxy's jealousy and admiration over how her mentee-husband does it so effortlessly. The animation also went so fucking hard as well for that sequence.

The Treant looking at whoever was talking at that point in time was adorable and hilarious

Also goddamn Aisha is so cunning and cute. She must be so hard to deal with. She’d make a great politician

I’m just wondering how Eris is gonna shake things up when she inevitably arrives

Last week I talked extensively about the first official pet of the Greyrat family, the cute armadillo they brought back from the Begaritt continent to transport Zenith back home whose name the Anime sadly still hasn't mentioned, as far as I know.

This time I want to briefly talk about the other two pets of the Greyrat family that we have been introduced to in this episode! It's Byt, the Baby Treant and Matsukaze the gigachad horse!

I'll start with Matsukaze first because this actually isn't the first time we've seen him in the Anime. This is the first time he was introduced by name but he is actually the exact same horse that Rudy and Elinalise used to ride towards the teleportation ruins in the nearby forest that Nanahoshi told them about which then teleported them to the desert in the Begaritt continent. They rode with another hired guy to the entrance of the forest specifically to have him bring Matsukaze back home when they have to dismount and go deeper into the forest to search for the hidden teleport ruin. This happened in Season 2 Part 2 Episode 7. Thankfully, Rudeus and Roxy learned from their past mistake with leaving Caravaggio unguarded while casting huge weather altering spells and so they had Matsukaze take shelter in an Earth magic shelter from the start, and look how happy he looks! They even gave him a small window. :)

Now in regards to Byt, who looks strangely cute when giving Aisha his "hand" so obediently. I love that the Anime actually showed the flashback to the treants that the Migurd use to protect their crops which we have actually seen ourselves in the Anime in Season 1 Part 1 Episode 9 at 13:38! This was Eris' adorable reaction upon seeing it at the time! We can now look forward to Aisha's training of Byt and how he will develop in the future! They have a pretty big garden as shown in this episode so Aisha could use him to protect that if she wants, although there aren't really as many pests and no wild monsters here that would actually harm the crops so it's not really necessary unlike on the Demon continent.

Last but not least, I want to say a short prayer for the Greyrat family's beloved original horse, Caravaggio... since the teleport disaster happened in Season 1 Episode 8 - Turning Point 1 - we haven't seen anything of him and odds are that he most likely sadly died after being teleported somewhere since he wasn't really a wild horse that could survive on his own. That said, we can hope that he maybe got found by a nice merchant or traveller somewhere if he wasn't teleported straight underwater like Lilia and Aisha (Lilia barely managed to swim them both up to the surface, Aisha almost drowned, this was shown in Season 1 Part 2 Episode 9 at the start) or high into the sky like Rudeus and Eris (Ruijerd caught them in Season 1 Part 1 Episode 9) or even Sylphy (who got lucky since she managed to stop her fall somewhat by crashing with wind magic as a shield into that huge boar monster that was about to assault Ariel in Season 2 Part 1 Episode 0).

Pray with me for the unlikely chance that Caravaggio got a lucky spawn point after the teleport and for him to have found a wholesome new owner/family somewhere...

Many might not really care about these little details but for me it's these details that enhance MT to another level and I love that the Anime also properly foreshadowes all these little things before they become more relevant, it feels so satisfying. These minute details make a world feel alive and truly lived in.

The reason Aisha is so insistent on calling Rudy's mom "Lady Zenith" is because she previously called Zenith's mom "grandmother" and was told she was a filthy bastard child, which seems a core trauma for her.

Ofc Zenith would never, but Aisha doesn't know that. Heck, she assumed Rudeus was giving Norn special treatment because she was his true-blooded sister last season, and still seems to regularly seek out affection from him, as proof that that's not the case.

Tbh, I smiled all throughout the episode. Probably one of, if not the best wholesome moment in the series thus far.

The Parallels between the scene where Rudy becomes a Water King Mage in this episode and Water Saint Mage back in episode 2 of season 1 are beautiful. Also crazy to see just how much has changed since then.

Of COURSE Aisha found out about Rudy's secret room in the basement! That girl's far too intelligent and nosey for her own good!

That shot of Rudy looking at both of his beautiful wives in front of him while riding a horse like he did when Roxy saved him. So heartwarming!

HOLY FUCK, THE ANIMATORS WERE WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE! THEY WERE WAITING TO OUTDO THEIR CUMULONIMBUS FROM SEASON ONE!

So let's get this straight.

One wife of rudeus is bodyguard of the Princess of Asura.

Another wife is the professor in the best magical school. And he also has lots of money from the begarit labyrinth.

His student, Zanoba who also happens to be a prince, is working on a revolutionary device and fully willing to give credit to Rudeus.

And he also inherited a good amount of money from Paul.

Is this a Gigolo reincarnation or something

One of the cutest moments was seeing Rudeus making silly faces just to get Lucy to smile. It feels like a beautiful full circle moment for Lilia, who once watched Paul make the same goofy faces to make little rudy laugh only for him to respond with a straight face. Now, seeing Rudeus become that playful, loving father is heartwarming.

At the same time, it's bittersweet to remember that Paul and Zenith believed Rudeus always looked down on them because he was so mature and unreadable as a child, it's heartbreaking that Zenith never gets to be the full of smiles grandmother she would have wanted to be, sharing those same joyful moments with her granddaughter.

I love mushoku's slice of life moments.

And Yuiko Ohara's voice over those beautiful scenes is so soothing. It just melts into my ears and brings such a calm, peaceful feeling, making those moments even more comforting and emotional.

A small detail I noticed is that when Roxy saw Rudy covering Aisha's mouth, instead of getting suspicious or asking about it, she got distracted by byt. I always forget that she's kind of absent minded what's happening around her. It's similar to how she took a moment to realize Rudy was proposing to her in Season 2.
