Why ERIS Left RUDEUS - A Complete Explanation | MUSHOKU TENSEI Episode 23 Cut Content - The Finale 

Thanks for all the support throughout this series everyone! Sorry for it being so late. The holiday season ended up leaving me with little time to make videos. We're back on the grind now with Arifureta vids starting next week!

The whole Eris incident can be summarized in one Joker quote : "Very *POOR* choice of words."

Rudy doesn't realize how important he is to the people in his life which in turns keeps him humble and is able to do things he physiologically could do in his previous life.

The problem for Eris wasn't that she left, the problem was that she miscommunicated her reason for leaving... 😔

The way the anime portrayed it with Zenith saying "I love you" which makes Rudy go "I have to go" even though he's hurting plus the ending music was absolutely beautiful to me!

I was under the impression that after they fought Orsted & lost badly, she left to get stronger, but realized she couldn't get stronger if she stayed with Rudeus, since she'd always feel like she'd be trapped in Rudeus's shadow.🤷🏿‍♂️

I was so happy to see Rudy pick himself up. No one had to push him. No one had to lecture him. He didn't get thrown out. He got up, and started moving forward largely on his own.

Rudy's own self-hatred that he doesn't just see his impact on other people and yet he still tries reminds me so much of Oldboy's quote, "Even if I'm no better than a monster, don't I still have the right to happily live?"

Rudy gets up to go back to his duty to search for Zenith was badass. His fears once again gripped his soul. Being abandoned knocked him down, but his duty got him up off his ass. Ma boi is now a man.

Man, it's gonna be a long winter till we get news for a season 2, hopefully the animation team gets some rest till they work on the Eris ova. Season 2 is in 2023, I’m hyped. And now we wait for Season 2 part 2. It’s here, Season 2 part 2 is just beyond the horizon.

Mushuko Tensei just gets better and better per episode, that heartfelt moment between Rudy & Zenith was so wholesome 😭 Can't wait for S2

If anyone here really liked the show, I urge you to read the light novels. The detail in them is fantastic and the continuation of the story is captivating. I read Vols 6-14 in a week and had a hard time putting them down!

Man this episode had a lot of good moments. The one that got me was when Paul met up with Aisha and Lilia. We saw how devastated he was without them, but seeing him do what Rudeus taught him, to bend down with your arms open to embrace a kid you haven't seen in years is the highlight for me.

The thing that got me about Eris’ inner monologue about Rudy was her thinking “His hands are so small and soft. Especially compared to mine.” Like that was how the switch flipped for her like “Oh… I’ve been taking advantage of someone younger than me. /I/ should have been protecting /him/. He’s smaller than me.”

After finishing the anime MT became the first light novel I’ve ever read. Just finished volume 12 and to be blunt, my heart is in shambles. Definitely a top 3 series for me

bruh, I loved how they showed Eris' and Rudeus' perspectives on the same event, Eris being happy and loving rudy while rudy being depressed af cuz eris communicated her intent so poorly.

I've read the whole light novel series, Eris was really simple minded is the best way to describe why she left the way she did. If she knew the pain and damage she caused him I think she would have wrote a different message like I'm leaving for training to be by your side one day. You would think she was the blonde in the relationship.

I DIDN'T realize there was one last episode I missed. I thought it ended with eris's leaving and haven't checked back. Thank you for the update and love your content.

Eris is the character I didn't like at first, but by the end of the series she was borderline my favorite character. No one was as ride or die as her. Her desire for vengeance is unmeasurable.

In his previous life he was all alone, and now Eris left and again he's back all alone . Regardless of her intentions she should have talked about it before leaving coss now he only thinks he's the one who was wrong. Men are simple creatures sometimes just telling us why is enough.

Eris couldnt have handled that worse, I think we also have to remember that our perspective of situations are alot easier to see because Rudys morality and view of the world has a basis in his past life. Whereas the new world has people seeing everything in a much diffrent light.

Always a good day when we get more Mushoku content!

this cut content episode really did alot in explaining the bond dynamics between eris and rudeus due to the journey.

This series added so much context and made the show infinitely more enjoyable. I look forward to the next season. Thank you.

That last episode had me screaming 'WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK???????' no way in hell Eris will end up with him. She lost the moment she left. That really broke him.

i can only hope we get a second season of that anime, to me it is the best anime of last year and one of the best anime overall. And if that was 6 LNs and they have 24 for the whole series we only need 3more seasons which could be doable...god i hope this comes

holy shit this acctually gave me an insane amount of closure, thank you and keep up the great content! you're really good at explaining things LOL

Yeah cutting out most of Eris's reasoning for leaving did hurt her character for anime onlys. I was a little upset they left all that out. I wouldn't have minded a 45 minute season finale if they could have left Eris's parts in and still kept the flashback too.

im really hoping in the next season they age up rudeus and eris to what they look like in the LN cuz they look near enough identical to how they started off this journey instead of looking like young adults

That episode hits so hard because I can relate with Eris wanted to get closer to someone she loves and look up

I think that the nature of the anime using two different VAs for Rudy and Rudy in his past life, as well as the ability make cut-up sequences invited the adaptation's focus on him as the emotional climax of everything so far. This is a change I can get behind.

Its still crazy to think that outside of Eris' final decision to leave Rudeus in the hopes of returning as his equal, the anime was able to clearly and consistently display the emotions and thoughts of all the characters even after condensing several light novel volumes into only a few episodes

I love the scene with zenith so much. The Author said in an Interview that his mother was for him the most important person.

I appreciate your work and giving us these very detailed reviews of episodes. You made this show 10x better than what I already thought it was. Thank you and I hope you keep the content up!

Welcome back! Your analysis is always on point and heartfelt. It's a joy to have you make content!

Freaking love you for doing these man! Thanks so much for filling in the content from source material and creating a cohesive narration to tie it into the anime, it makes the story and whole experience of the anime so much richer. Truly appreciate it and looking forward to seeing more of your awesome creations!

I am really happy at how this series is going. Mushoku Tensei is one of the first novels I've read and when I finished it, it left me in tears. It had a really fitting ending. Really looking forward to the future seasons of this show.

I think the explanation is kinda redundant. I dunno about the novels but the anime really did portray her inferiority complex rather well. So when I was at the moment when I was thinking with Rudy why she would leave him. I think back the battle on the beach and how she was always trying to catch up ever since. The clincher was she ran away with Ghislaine. She obviously wanted some guidance to become stronger and by having Rudy with her, her growth would only be stifled by his party carry. I think the focus on why his past self would never choose the important step of moving forward despite knowing its the correct choice, really is a far more important thing to look into. Because the pay off on Eris's arc is gonna come. Explaining/foreshadowing that its gonna come is as I said redundant. Instead focus on the important part. Why Rudy kept going where he would have simply given up before. Really show that he wasn't just another OP protagonist that just breezes through the story with OP powers. Show that despite all the good things in his life. He has to go through the hardship of life regardless. And therein lies the real test of his character, because he needs real inner strength to find the meaning in life to keep going forward. Otherwise he would have just kept vegging out, as established by his past life.

I've been subbed since your overlord analysis vids 3 years ago and I gotta say this has been my second most looked forward to thing every week after mushoku tensei. Thank you man for all the amazing work, this is your best stuff yet and I'll miss the feeling i get when I see a notification for your mushoku tensei cut content.

This show is a master class on how to adapt literature to a screen.

So her letter didn't have the emotional impact it was suppose to. But Eris wasn't a character with a lot of Depth...at least not until the end of the season. What's kinda sad is they both separated because of misconceptions of each other. 🤔

There are is no Mushoku sundays now, only sundays 😔

This is one of the best videos of cut contents . Thank you . Keep up the great work

Thanks for all the videos you put together! They are wonderfully done!

You made us wait a while for this didn't you?

GOD IT STILL HURTS 😭 Thanks so much for uploading tho. I never fully understood Eris leaving so u really clarified things for me

Absolutely, enjoy your take and diagnosis breaking down on the material. Keep it up.

Thanks for this amazing video

you did a fantastic job reviewing and sharing the cut content man, Im currently rewatching Arifuereta would love to see u review the cut content. But anyways fabulous job with Mushoku, I hope they announce a 2nd season after the special airs in march

This episode made me read the whole LN , was done with whole novel plus side stories in 21 days , definitely a very good watch

Adding this channel as my isekai category. Many thanks for this!

Thank you for all this in-depth Mushoku Tensei info AniNews!

Eris felt weak and wants to be the one to protect Rudy no matter what. When she watched him also die it almost broke her deep to her core. She never wanted to be that weak again in her life and she wanted to get strongest enough that something like that could never happen to Rudy agin. But being as thick as she is and bad with words Rudy only seen her leave thinking she did not love him and wanted to find a new path. And Rudy being self logging and self hateing as he always is just instantly seen himself as the problem and allowed his own mind to tare himself apart peice by peice. Eris is very much someone insanely important to Rudy and loseing him at that moment changed him forever. But him finding the strength to move fed and not shut down like his past life just goes to show how much he has grown as a person. He even moved away from his old persona allowing it to die so he can be truely reborn in this world with people he loves and a reason to live with a mission to save his mother. This is what we call a good story and why so many people love this anime. I look fwd to seeing how well they adapt the series.

This anime is so crazy, it was so hard watching the last episodes, made me so sad, hit me in the feels real bad like no other anime really has before. It's almost to the point where I can't watch it, or think about it because I start crying, emotions man...

Thanks bro you really just cleared all my doubts and confusion related to it

thank you for this series. i really enjoyed every video.

Never clicked so fast for a video !

Recently finished vol 14 of the LN and currently reading vol 17 of the WN and goddamn I gotta admit I understand all the hype lmao

Thank you so much for these videos, I hope to see lots more with future shows.

Thanks for everything Ani!

I'll definitely be watching the videos for Arifureta season 2. I had given up hope that season 2 would ever happen, so I was thrilled when they announced season 2 was finally happening

I've been waiting for this. I love mushoku tensei and am excited for more. I don't know if a season 2 has been announced but I hope it will be announced soon and that it would release in a year or fall 2022.

I always appreciate the effort you put into these videos.

Great video explaining it very well

what rudeus wants is literally said by ruijerd "If he is depressed, comfort him", ruijerd never said physically, but the answer is emotionally, after bombardments of scenarios happening at each episode, rudeus needs a friend who will stay beside him in the moments of his depressing moments.

I have to say, the image of Eris in the manga when Rudeus talked about fighting Orstead and obtaining disable magic was so much more powerful. It showed both her fear and disgust, not only of Orstead at that point. But, of Rudeus as well.

Thank you as well for making great content AniNews!

Love these! And I love how you explain. Your voice fits perfectly for these types of videos.

Its kinds clear she left to get stronger and not be in Rudy's shadow. Although some of the choices she made weren't good the reasons were definitely valid

Love the videos, Please continue to do these when the next season comes out.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for making this. Thank you for your hard work!

These videos are amazing man, keep it up!

God i wish I could rewatch this as if it were the first time. Easily one of the best Isekais to date.

This anime is so well made. Its from my 200 watched anime my top 12. So yeah its a S Class anime 💥🔥🤙

straight ass the best anime content creator out there. So well organized and spoken with 0 fluff. This anime is truly amazing and watching all of these videos makes it even more impactful thank you so much! Can NOT wait for season 2 and the continuation of this RU-vid series 🖤🖤🖤

You're amazing!! Thanks for this

I loved every episode in this series so far, currently on volume 23 of the web novel, and even if ep 23 was great, the 14 page soliloquy by eris at the end of volume 6 not getting properly adapted was the one thing that keeps this from being a perfect 10/10. Its my favorite moment in the series, and i cried reading it, tear up every time. Its what got me to buy the novels. Still loved the anime though.

Leaving without saying goodbye is such a cruel thing to do...she knew that he has no family left at least at that spot but she did it anyway... She went down quite some points in my eyes after this

Thank you. Truly thank you, I was so lost after the ending but now I love the show even more and on top of everything you did not spoil ANYTHING! You are amazing and thank you so much for making this.

i knew a few of her thoughts but you summarized everything perfectly and told us in one Video, now i know her thoughts much better, great Video

And this is why relationships are hard to maintain man

The cut goblin hunting chapter and it's accompanying content at the pier where Rudy meets his aunt should have been kept. It was also odd they spent a whole episode on the rainy season section as that was much shorter in the LN. The next season won't have as much of an epic journey but will have far more character development and a lot of interesting and important characters to meet. Curious how much their going to lay into Rudy's new "condition".

I loved this analysis! Thank you!

Great job 👏🏽 really enjoyed this series. Thanks

I cried when eris left him

i always thought that in any film, tv series or anime, if people do talk with each other the correct amount, like 90% of the problem wont happen. eris is another example of it.

Once again, thank you!

That was EXCELLENT 😊👍

I'm super tempted to make this the first LN I pick up. I'm pretty caught up in the manga and even though there are parts that feel too slice of life highschool romcom to me I still liked it. Just not as much as the first part atm. After finishing the anime I'm down to pick back up from where the anime stops but w/the LN.

I recently read the manga to clear up some misunderstandings. Quickly found out the anime really wanted you to be in Rudeus shoes and mind, while the manga gave you the point of views of most characters and answered your questions/misunderstandings rather quickly. Still feel super bad for Rudeus in his "E.D." arc....

Holy..... I so needed this. Kudos of explaining EVERYTHING while not even spoiling ahead..gg

Thanks for this amazing series on this amazing anime man!

I believe eris did the right move tbh because seeing Rudy die in front of her made her vulnerable remember when she was calling out or saying dad grandpa mom grandma brother sister help please she was scared and traumatized seeing someone she fell for died Basically she did a Goku for example, it’s kinda like how Goku leaves for a while to train but then comes back more powerful

Ah yes, i love you so im going to leave you unexpectedly with practically no explanation in a way thats incredibly easy to misconstrue as a lack of interest/love. Eris is mad stupid for not thinking this through

Great video!

Thanks for all your efforts again bro. GG

This is probably going to be talked about in the next season. This is premium content, and the way they didn’t 100% respect the timeline makes me believe we’ll get episodes from Eris pov like the one Roxy had where they showed her pov of seing dead eye

The story is amazing can't wait to see the next series of events get animated, this decision eris chose can only bring consequences to both her and rudy

man keep up the good work, love your videos

Thank you for the video
