Rudeus vs "Fitz" | Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 

He probably thought it would be more common but then found out he was just him lol

@@edwardmunoz3398yeah and in fairness he’s in a magic school and fitz is regarded as one of the best mages there

the reason is quite simple actually, Roxy when he taught Rudy, told him that a variety of races have magics unique to them, and he even learned it firt hand with the howling magic of the beastman, so he thought that disturb magic, being such a useful magic was more common, since Orsted used the minimum of skill needed to mop the floor with them

It actually makes sense, because when you think about the concept of disturb magic, you can understand why Rudeus would think it must be commonplace while in fact virtually no one else even knows about it. A counterspell like disturb magic is only useful if you can cast it silently (and therefore instantly), or with a very short incantation, because you have to be able to cast it faster than whatever spell your opponent is casting that you want to counter. That means that for mages who rely on standard-length incantations (which, we often forget since we're mostly watching Rudeus, is the vast *vast* majority of all mages in this world), just the *concept* of something like disturb magic likely wouldn't occur to them since it would never seem practical. Even the rare mages who can cast silently are still surrounded almost exclusively by mages who require incantations, so they're still largely stuck within that same paradigm. On the other hand, Rudeus has spent basically his whole life casting silently and has always questioned the validity of standard magic "rules" like the requirement for incantations. So since Rudeus has always been thinking outside the box of the normal magical paradigms, the logic of a spell like disturb magic made perfect sense to him once Orsted showed him it was possible. And since the concept and utility of a counterspell like that made so much sense to him, he naturally assumed that plenty of other people must have thought of the idea as well, particularly in the environment of the most prestigious magical university in the world.

Rudeus has a habit of downplaying his achievements and not viewing himself as particularly special (mainly due to this past life), so he never really sees anything he does as exceptional

"... So you embarassed mommy in front of everyone?" "Bad daddy! Bad!" >Rudeus feeling awkward, while Sylphy is just giggling

One of your mothers 👀

: which one : White Mom (as opposed to Blue mom or [redacted])

Technically he truly meet her by pulling her pants down. But this work too.

which one lol

Twice.

@@annatardlordofderps9181I forgot it happened the first time they met as well it’s been so long since I watched season 1

he should also tell them that he's a fully grown man who uses the body of a child to groom children

And they'd reply, which one?

And then the second time I thought the same thing again.

Probably her instinct as a predator that ‘he’ wasn’t a prey

I just wonder who she was rooting for

Ah, just realized the irony of that 🤣

Bruh sylphys glasses were illusory magic that made it so people didn’t know she was a girl it was skipped in the anime

@@thund3r94As a watcher, not a reader: I enjoyed how the show played out but you have my honest thanks for that tidbit.

​@@thund3r94 wait, what? I guess the "that wand" then dropping the topic should have been suspicious, but dang.

@@LibertyMonk yea I mean if you think about it it’s kinda weird she was wearing glasses all the time, it definitely made it so people couldn’t recognize her

Ahhaahhahahaha

This is the moment rudy became kid named limp biscuit

twice

hahahah, but think about it he said, "soft hands" not "soft skin". u can tell by the grip being loose and the meat of the fingers not being rigid

I really wanted them to adapt it the correct way!! We didn't get to appreciate that Rudy is above the norm

Almost dodged a whole lot of problems. Darn

there is not much she can do against disturbion magic

@Shigeru0508 right, she hasn't been fighting as much as Rudeus has either.

I don’t believe so, Rudy is on a completely different level in magic skill (besides healing magics which he works on in school), she has zero counter and knowledge of spells he can use and Rudy saw into the future. No chance just like the sword duel later on in that season. If anything Rudy got distracted seeing the wand and Sylphie attacked first but Rudy could see her attack before she does it.

That demon eye is also a broken advantage, Sylphie was cooked anyway.

@@g.sergiusfidenas6650 The combination of disturb magic and the eye of foresight is such a broken combination - Rudeus can see what spell is coming and immediately counter it. I have a hard time imagining how *any* mage wouldn't at least struggle against that, especially if they don't know about it ahead of time.

Well they seem VERY surprised here as well, but it's not really clarified why

I mean... You are in a magic academy where every battler is a mage. You just countered the strongest person in the entire school effortless(can silence cast specially battle trained selected security from royalty). What do you think other mages were seeing now that they can't cast any spells in combat against him?. How would you feel in that situation?

You'd be right. Highly recommend reading them all the way through. the anime changes quite a bit, and/or doesn't go over other things entirely.

I didn't notice that. Well done

Why would Elinalise have any idea who Sylphy is? Didn't she just assume they were related

Her man detector senses weren't tingling. Ahahaha. ​@@KingAfrica4

​@@KingAfrica4sylphy and elinalise are related.

maybe, maybe not. I think she specifically was suspicious of her wooden carving that was similar to her own. Elinalize shouldn't know her name, she didn't communicate with her children after raising them. And even if she was suspicious just from a hunch, she probably still wouldn't know its an alias.

The entire story of rudy is a full of wasted opportunity. He is such a broken op character that the only reason there is any tension at all is because he is incredibly dense

​@@16m49x3uhh does turning point 2 not ring any bells?

Yep. Hes overconfident in battle and socially awkward out of battle. But thats his character flaw and stays true to who he used to be so we cant complain.

@@lockhart1433 He's not overconfident in battle. He constantly underestimate himself. He is naive about the world when he makes choies, but that's different

I think you're self-inserting and forgetting that this boy is suffering from depression, ED, and low self-esteem. Would a character written under those archetypes falsely boast to receive the most benefit from their peers?

Rudeus tends to undermine himself purely because he's always surrounded by absolute monsters. Truth is, he's as much of a monster as most of them 😂 And Oldeus...Oldeus was probably on par with Orsted.

​@@nikoalvarez45nope he wasn't, Oldeus would have still be Clobbered by orsted effortlessly, Orsted defeated Kalman III equipped with the fighting god armor and the sword of the dragon king Kajakut, without taking damage or even a spect of dirt on his clothes

"Lucy! Make sure to wear skirts and keep your hair long, or else people will think you are a boy!" "Don't be silly mama! No one is gonna think that!" "Your father did... Twice..."

@@trayhl”First time he actually pulled down my pants…” Daughter: “I did not need to know that, Mom…”

​@@trayhl Rudeus: to be fair the second time the entire school was calling you a boy, and you didn't reveal your true identity to me for a year and I hadn't seen you since we were 7 when you had green hair

He thought that she was a guy "TWICE"

Imagine going on vacation to an island far away from your home and you meet someone you klick with. Would you immediatly think it is your childhood buddy you left 8 years ago when you were 7 that is going by a male name, has a different haircolor and wears hideous glasses?

@@Knitterfest I would do some comparison.

He hadn't seen her for years how would he have recognized her

@@kingsboro1 Ask Fitz to take off the sunglasses.

@xavierrobinson8810 even without the glasses she looks different when she was younger she was mistaken for a boy now not so much

Same!!!!!

😂😂😂

“Dress like Fitz again and strap this on. Come on, it’s my birthday!”

​@@sigiligus😂

i'd say probably not but maybe someone else remembers a detail i don't

horni.

Roxy didn't recognize rudas either why because it was was years since they last saw each other

Hair- completely different color Rudeus underestimates himself thinking silent casting is not as rare as it actually is (we only know of 4 people to do it in the anime so far and they are orsted, rudeus, and 2 people he taught it to) As other person said it was years since they’ve seen each other

​@@ethanfrantz4312+ a magical sunglass that prevents recognition

​​​@@Shigeru0508that's true but then why was she upset he didn't recognize her when she knows the glasses are enchanted?

@@inkoinfinity2 you're asking good questions, I give you an A

Wouldnt have made a difference really Rudeus Power output IS so much higher

@@deathitself6985 boring is what this was during the ED arc.

Against what attack? Fire breath? It probably wasn't even "magic" to begin with.

@@nviolet152 what about the barrier or the regeneration? I don't think regen of that speed is considered natural. Especially since mithra is imbued with magic.

​@pocketsdsquirrel3207disturb magic is a kind of magic too. The scales barrier negates magic itself.

​@@pocketsdsquirrel3207 It's not an actual barrier but the skin of the hydra. This is where the anime kinda misleads things

The scales of The Hydra are magic absorbing stones they arent magic

Why? Because the show slows down? Anyone would go after hearing they can be cured Dont get me wrong tho i preferred the adventure with Eris much more but this sets up all things going forward. Family is the point of the series

1. last time he saw her she was 7 2. she has another hair colour 3. she is going with an male alter ego named Fitz 4. she wears a magical sun glass item, that prevents recognition

She wearing rayband sunglasses despite not inventing the periodic tables.

​@@Shigeru0508Por que Silfhy tonta, no le dijo a Rudy que era su Amiga de la infancia??? Sabiendo que Rudy la buscaba y tambien buscaba a su familia??

​@@RdNapZ She didn't know tho? She says she was afraid he forgot her but she should have asked More info and Rudy would have Said he IS looking for her

Me dices mas mentiras?

usually it's god>angle

Silfhy fue sobrevalorada

it is female. they pulled a goku. hopefully they get a new one for next season

Btw Rudeus spamming Stone Cannon pretty much becomes a plot point later as he realizes his lack of skill using his arsenal

You think he isn’t anymore? Lol

He was momentarily tamer because of his depression and erectyle disfunction, although not that much because even in that state Fitz found out he's a pervert (and fully confirmed after the identity reveal)

Why do people watch something they dont like then comment on it you are just giving IT More popularity

season 3 probably has the most awesome stuff in it of the whole series.
