RUDEUS vs. PAUL - How Their Unexpected Reunion Went In The Novels! | MUSHOKU TENSEI Cut Content 

that monument on the road is just a magic high score board

The author wrote it so good we all teared up

I’m a bit sad that Rudeus starting to dabble into flight magic during his time in the dorudia village wasn’t mentioned at all. It was a good way to start that next research with magic and also gave the beast tribe perspective on just how powerful a magician Rudeus is.

A big part that was cut out was the stress placed on Rudy’s age. At this point he’s merely 11 years old, was teleported to the second deadliest place in their world at 9, just prior to his 10th birthday, and had to keep someone else safe. I don’t mind how the anime redid the talk but I felt the books douse of cold water did it better. It also tied in to how immature Rudy was in his previous life, how he’d closed himself off and how scared he still was; something that plays a big role in the story later on.

I was so excited when I realized where episode 16 was going after I read the light novels I’m so glad this has come into anime form and can’t wait for what’s to come for this series

I'm kind of amazed that Rudius's attempts to learn how to fly (broke both his legs but also sort of grasped both how it could work and why it wasn't practical) and him freezing the surging waters around nearly the entire village didn't make it from the web novel into the light novel... Or the anime. I really enjoyed those scenes in the web novel.

Paul's attitude made no sense at the start, since Rudeus had no clue everyone in his family was teleported elsewhere. I'm under the assumption Rudeus thought it was only him, Eris, & Ghislaine teleported. He should've given Rudeus a chance to explain everything. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I almost cried from seeing Paul's perspective. Neither side was really in the wrong. Or rather, both sides were both right and wrong. Rudy's mistake was not considering who else might've been affected by the disaster, and Paul's mistake was expecting too much from Rudy. But at the same time, even if Rudy knew about it, (I think) he wouldn't have been able to do much about it. And Paul did apologize the day after.

That sponsorship caught me off guard, had like 5 other genshin vids to watch after this

Another thing. There is a reason that girl wears a Bikini Armor. Not sure if it's a spoiler anymore, I think it's past that point now so it's probably cut but read below if you want to know. Her sister (the mage) and her were both teleported and were sexually abused as a result. Her sister being timid was still afraid of men even after being saved so she decided to wear the armor so that people would look at her instead of her sister.

Rudy and Paul are the same men at different points on the growth chart. Rudy may have more years under his belt but his growth stopped when he shut himself away. He died as a man child with no real experience in life. He is now growing with the knowledge of his past mistakes which makes him seem like a genius and model Greyratt son. Paul is a man with plenty of real world experience and knows what the pain from the separation from your loved ones via death or other means. Paul is desperate to find his love ones to the point he is punishing himself for every failure he has ever done. Both are trying to live up to some idea of what they believe they are supposed to be but neither knows what that idea really is. Like in the real world the men and boys in this world are told to lock in every emotion and push forward even if you get hurt. This may be ideal for soldiers like myself in times of war, but in every day life this way doesn't work. Real men know that sometimes you need to listen to someone who needs to be heard. It doesn't matter if it is important or trivial. Share your troubles with those that are willing to help you with your struggles and vice versa. That is the most important thing we can do for our family, friends and our homes.

This conflict between rudeus and Paul reminded me of my struggles with ADHD and my parents. They weren't accepting of it and assumed because I was smart there was no way I could have it. Just how Paul thought because rudeus was talented with magic he should of surely thought of everything. It gives me a moment to reflect on the struggles I went through and my thoughts go out there to anyone else going through something similar.

60 Primogems? Sheeesh, that's 0.375 wish away from my next Debate Club.

i was informed in discord that the bikini lady had a reallyyyy good explanation for her "armor" being that skimpy. as of ep17, it seems pretty much certain that the backstory of those 2 sisters will also be cut content now. you should've covered it!

Yes! Put me upon the bus of emotions and let's take a Feels Trip as we talk about what happened between Rudy and his father

The part where Rudy tries to learn how to fly and badly injures himself, him freezing almost the entirety of the water below the village and killing an entire nest of C class lizards also showed how he was constantly training and trying to better himself. Overall the LN was so good to read giving much more content and explaining why everything happened. Many of the questions I myself didn't ask were answered and it was so satisfying ( for eg: The kidnappers had chosen this specific timing because it was about to be rainy season and the beast clan would be trapped within the forest) The world-building and reasoning are almost flawless. Anyone with time should definitely try reading the LN/WN !

It occurred to me that Rudeus only saw Galain, Eris and himself teleported. There was no way he could have known the scale of it all and how many others got teleported too. As far as he knew, Galain was the only one unaccounted for and everyone else was safe at home.

Gotta admit thanks to these videos of yours, you got me into this series and I am quite enjoying the series. So thank you AniNews.

My novel reading friend tells me we have missed quite a lot of important things from the novel like Eris and Goblin Hunting or Eris getting a black dress and going to dinner with Rudy and Norn

You're fantastic with your coverage of these series I hold so dearly to my heart. Today's episode made me cry, especially. Genuinely, Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful day, AniNews.

I love your takes. Your voice is so calm it fall asleep to your videos. Its a weird take on my end by it dont want to lie. Your takes are balanced and it feels like im listening to an old friend discuss something he honestly loves.

Why wasn't it mentioned that it was heavily implied that the girl Geese taught how to cook was Rudeus's mother? Which explains how Geese knew Paul and likely why he was so secretive around Rudy.

Yeah really sucks that the scene where Geese gave him the panties and when he had a heartfelt scene with Geese, that would have been great as I really liked it and I like Geese. Although "What kind of coward would leave a trap like this?!" was pretty good lol

Thank you for your work. I really enjoy the editing and the effort you put behind your videos.

*the realization of the video the end had shook me that : "yes the people teleported are really fucked and a lot could be dead as that girl grandpa"*

No matter how much you hate paul you gotta give him the respect he deserves here and especially in the future

I like your cut content videos a lot. Keep them coming please and thank you.

Also thanks for giving us a quick explanation of each episode weekly🥰

AniNews putting out this video with the swiftness.

In the anime, wasnt where the trio were basically ground zero of the mana ray? I think its reasonable for rudeus to have thought that only the three of them were teleported because the first person he saw being teleported was the cat lady while Paul watched it quickly expand to everywhere. Paul also got back to his home before going out to find people. Sure, rudues took his time to get back, but he did the best he could as they needed money and to survive. If he could have sent letters, he should have tho

Honestly these videos are well made and rock! Well worth your time folks!

Another great video! The editing was flawless!

I love the fact that the great beast is protecting rudeus's balls so that the "chosen hero" can be born

19:20 and onwards, what Paul did is even more impressive given that the Asuran nobility was doing zilch to help out its own people! A real world equivalent would be where the entire population of a rural state in USA gets displaced everywhere in the world and the government isn't stepping in to solve such a huge immigration crisis. In fact, it is escaping from responsibility and leaving it to a village sheriff and the personal assistant of the state governor who are trying to retrieve people from human trafficking underworld(considering USA as the example due to its equivalence to the Asura kingdom in military might and economy).

Love this series and this was probably one of my favorite moments in the story

The way you talk about the content is always refreshing and spot on 👌

I need rhe if Stories man.

Ngl I prefer Eris's reaction in the manga better, it was so much more wholesome and a good development for her as a character. Also shows the vulnerability of Rudy who before then was always collected, he finally allowed himself to break down in front of a person he loves. He couldn't maintain his facade and was afraid that Eris would be worried, but in the end she still embraced him

I love this channel, it feels like an extra episode of the anime to watch

Dude thank you so much it really helps to understand some missing things in anime even though anime was pretty good at showing most of story moments

Great video as always. I do believe you are incorrect on your last analysis though. Rudeus in his past life was a neet, and it was always hinted that he became a neet because he went through some type of traumatic experience in that past life. I havent read the LN just the manga though so I may be wrong, but it was hinted that it wasnt a new emotional trauma but rather his same fear for others not accepting him and rejecting him as part of society. That was my understanding from the manga at least.

The recent ep, really goes a long way to explaining Paul's perspective.

Loved how you used Genshin Impact's OST. Thank you for the code as well!!!

Yay free stuff for a game I play all the time!!! Thank you

that fantasy metropolis looks a lot like how atlantis is theorized to look neat

First thing i would do after finding out i can channel magic into my voice: Fus-Ro-Dah

you make the best cut content omg

another amazing video!!!

This show never fails to impress

Man every lights going green for me to pick up the Light Novel but my lazy ass won't start. loved this one a lot, especially the ending part brought me to tears.

For such a seemingly childish premise, I'm continuously blown away by this series depth, world building and depth of character.

Great vid Sam keep up the good work! Also please do something simular for Arifureta season 2 next season.

I’d like to know how you always come in with the cut content, do you read all these manga/light novel or just a lot of research when you come across the topic you want tot all about. Love this channel

The anime made this 10x sadder Now im scared for the scenes in begaritt kingdom😭😭😭 you guys know what i mean😭😭😭

So thankful for this channel.

I like this series of in between info. It's really good

So that's what made him vomit. Good to know. Now it doesn't feel like he's gone through worse. The way it was shown in the anime left me feeling like it was uncharacteristic of Rudi to be so shaken by what happened tbh.

in case people didn't get it, the one Geese taught to cook was Zeinth, and she ended up winning Paul's heart and they got married, breaking up their S Rank Party (The black wolf's fangs)

I saw this video posted in the morning but had to wait until now to watch it, also de last episode of moshoku tensei was so good I devoured every last minute of it

I was waiting for this video.

it cracks me up whenever you said "bikini warrior"

No matter how old he is, Rudy was definitely looking forward to hearing his father say he was proud of him there. To hear that he was actually disappointed had to be absolutely fucking devastating.

yes i play genshin Aninews xD havent see you in a while and ive been watching your videos to catch up.

Omg he did it!! Thank you ANINEWS!

The part about monument didn't seem right to me. Are you sure you sure about Dragon God? I think he only appeared 100 years ago

aww, you've crushed my dreams of Rudy and the sacred beast going on adventures together T_T

I'm so glad your making these videos, it's just a sad reality that the anime can't cover everything and this story is so great.

Thank you for these videos!!

Rudy apologizing to his loser dad the next day turned me off of this pretty hard. He did absolutely NOTHING wrong. I eventually went back to it, but coupled with forgiving his grandmother later, peak bad writing.

Funny how I liked this arc then immediately dropped the manga after he went off to do something that isn't FINDING HIS MOTHER.

I love your content so much been a huge fan of yours for years thank you for making my night ❤️

Love these videos

It wouldn't make sense for him to be the legendary hero... Yet. Makes me wonder if he will be a gandalf-esque character in 100 years and be a part of the heros party. Who am I joking. This be isekai, he is probably a god in 100 years at this pace.

The manga made this reunion feel alot more heavy hearted than the anime. Dont know which was better tbh. Day 14 of asking for a grand assassin hassan servant review

This reunion was so well done man. I understand both sides in the fight and the anime did a wonderful job with the resolution. I'm excited for Rudy to find the rest of his family.

Love your videos you were made to do this

Maybe it's just because I read the manga a long time ago, but I prefer the anime's version of this encounter

Ah, Genshin I see. My response? Tower of Fantasy. I will not apologize.

I was waiting for the adaptations for these episodes and they did it amazingly :)

Bless you AniNews ♥

Tbh I almost dropped the show because of the stupid panty gag at the start, I wasn’t expecting to be blindsided by such a bittersweet ending of last weeks episode

Paul was an absolute ass in the Anime. I remember vividly wishing for Rudeus to beat his ass so bad. The way Paul acts towards his own son and accuse him of slacking. What? Your own 11 yr old son, surviving a trip from the demon continent isn't enough? It toke him 2 years to come back, what a shit father and shit welcome. But then again, Paul have shown his unwillingness to listen to reason before getting angry multiple times in the series. They might have made up, but honestly I don't think that Rudeus will ever truly forget or forgive Paul for the way he tried to beat his own son after surviving a cataclysmic event and 2 years of struggle.

So good keep up the awesome work man 👏 👏 👏

Ty for sponsoring genshin ty for the code

For me, Episode 5 and 6 is... a bit of a disappointment. Sure, It's not bad... It just... It's could be better... way better... When I read the Novel, This was one of the most emotional scenes in the volume. My tears won't stop coming as I read from the point where Rudy looks at Paul's face and realize what's going on through to when Rudy steeled himself and make the move to mending their relationship before it fell apart and broken beyond repair. Later on when get my hand on the Manga and revisit this scene again, Even though some of the details were cut off the drawing was good and the entire sequence was done so well I flip it back and re-read it again and again. Because of that... And from the way the anime was doing a somewhat pretty good adapting the series so far, I'm been looking forward to seeing this scene animated with voice acting and music in its full glory... But It seems my expectation was too high... They're rushing it too much... At first, I thought that with lots of details with Eris Ruijerd and Geese already cut out they're going to dedicate the whole episode to the "Gut-wrenching to Heart-warming Father and Son's Conflict and Reconciliation". But, No... They just speed through it! And they didn't stop there, They even pull out yet another skip! They jump over many details that at the very least could be shown as a quick slide of events and went straight to the Rudy and Paul's going separate ways. No other characters' side stories, No next step planning, No father and son brief happy moment, No Rudy try befriending Norn... Look... I understand that this is an anime, They have a budget to work with so they can't very well put every bit of details in. But with a ton of stuff and details already got cut out, They could have given us a good episode that hit us right in the feel. But no... Instead of that, They're cramming "The reunion, The fight, The making up, The afterward, and The parting" ...All the supposed emotional stuff into just an episode and a half... In my opinion, They just ruined the episode that has the potential of being one of the most memorable moments of the series! Sigh... To see a good streak of a job well done come to an end at the very moment we get to the good part... It's kinda sad...

Subbing to your channel was really the best ideas I had in a giffy ✌🏾✌🏾

Please do another one about ep 17, I love your analysis videos!

Ayo, I recognized that sponsor music and got excited before you announced it.

Please keep doing these

Im really glad you started going into other animes outside of RE:Zero I love your videos.

U know U have made it in life when Genshin Impact sponsors your videos. Congratulations 🥳

I also like to see yours cover in the cut content from manga as well

I love how you use Genshin Impact soundtrack and how well it fits

Thank for the code dude.

I love your video pls keep up the good content (no pressure)😂

I just want to say that I was a few weeks behind on this series. Thanks for the spoilers on the thumbnail!!

I love it how just genshin music is used in the video background.

An emotional episode both of they overcoming their pride and become father and son again

I hear that genshin impact music also congratulations on being sponsored by genshin impact it’s one of my most favourite games from music to the story then graphics looks great.

I'm just excited to see towards the end of this season with the red dragon's lower jaw path. That scene, if done right, will blow everyone away.
