| Paul isn't mentally stable, what with both of his wives and daughter getting teleported who the fuck knows where and no way of knowing if they're alive or dead or being enslaved and sold into prostitution. So I don't blame him if he lost it when he heard his son -- who unlike your typical 10 year olds, is far smarter, powerful and capable -- was messing around for months while everyone else was desperately searching for their family and friends, and the first thing he asks about when he learned that most people in the village have either been teleported or killed, is whether his fucking girlfriend is OK, not his mother or sister. So yes, Rudy is much more at fault here. |
| Paul is a grade 1 asshole and the series goes to great length to show that. he does have some redemption later, but that's spoilers. In this case Rudy is not in the wrong. like anyone would he was focused on the his and the ones he was with survival. he had to plan out money expenses and plans to keep them alive. He didn't have the time or luxury to think about what happened to others. |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |

So yes, Rudy is much more at fault here. I don't think a recovering NEET counts as mentally stable. It is true that Rudy is about as capable as Paul on some level. However, he never was really mentally an adult (NEETs act and think like spoiled children). Even if a NEET decided to try at life in a reincarnation he still has to gain experience he never had in his previous life. In terms of responsibility, he never had any. Not as a 30 year old NEET nor as a 10 year old child. If anything his responsibility he has taken on is actually somewhat impressive for someone who never had to worry about money in his life. Just wanted to list some things to keep in mind before blaming Rudy. In terms of being an adult, Rudy is still not at that point mentally yet. Though, the recent experience of being teleported to another continent definitely has helped in his maturation. Alot of people overlook the NEET factor because it's such a common trope in Isekais today and because most of them are trash they don't actively explore it so it subverts peoples expectations based on shitty Character writing. This Story really brings it back to reality and makes people think about what being a NEET actually is rather then a punchline or Label that the OP will instantly walk out of due to new world fantasy somehow transforming a person because reasons. |
| Yeah, I agree with you! You're absolutely right! I mean, there are some things that are weird... Rudeus would've thought about his family at some point, but I think the anime didn't show that in order to build the climax towards this episode. Then again... Who was it that sent his own 7-year-old son to be by himself for 5 years? Is it that weird he was more worried about the task at hand, i.e., the girl he had been taking care of for those last 3 years? Besides, Rudeus had no way of knowing other people would be teleported as well nor that the blast radius would reach his own village. Anyone in his position would think his family was ok. He's surely at fault for not writing to his family before, but I doubt he could do that from the Demon Continent, after all he had no news from the outside world while he was in there, which makes me think there isn't really communication between the demons and the rest of the world (let's not forget the demons and the humans were enemies once). You see, the first moment Rudeus arrived at a human city, he thought about contacting his family. To me, it seems, he simply didn't worry about things that couldn't be done. |
| Where is the neither option ? |
