Very good episode, poor Paul is depressed but with the arrival of Rudeus his mood improved considerably, they even resumed those conversations they had in the first season.

Rudeus almost collapsed again when he found out that Roxy was lost in the labyrinth, it's clear that she wasn't dead... look if they're going to kill off one of the characters that people who watch the show like the most behind the scenes, at least they were going to show it... although anything can happen, you can never rule it out haha
The maze I think is a staggered Dungeon and I'm guessing it will get worse and worse.

PS: Epic saved at the last moment, though I have no idea how Rudeus knew he was on the other side... maybe it was the intuition they were talking about haha, maybe they'll explain it at some point

@StateofOhayo Good catch with that line of dialogue between Elinalese and Rudy about possible time distortion. Otherwise it would seem like a very coincidental encounter. Also, in case something goes horribly worng there's also a chance it doesn't happen in this season but I doubt it.
@rasterman7 Thanks, friend! It's really hard to say how time could be distorted in this labyrinth but I think we will get somewhat of an answer next episode. I haven't read the manga so I don't know what's ahead but I can only hope they find his mom by the end of the season.

This was so emotional in the LN I feel like it was completely rushed and butchered.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
@_Megumilia I wouldn't say that. It's on pace if we get more roxy stuff next ep...

@rasterman7 Well when Elinalese went back through the portal, Rudeus did say that she seemed gone longer than she thought. It could be that teleportation takes longer than you'd think. Perhaps instead of an instant, it's a bit longer. I also don't know the rules of the labyrinth, it could be that time is distorted since there's so many teleportation circles. Maybe we'll find out next episode. They still have to find Rudeus's mom, but if Roxy can get some rest they'll be much stronger.

Also, there's been a lot of death flags with Elinalese and Rudy's father, if something bad were to happen I'd guess it'd be them but who knows? Sometimes this show is upfront with our expectations and sometimes not so we could be surprised. I hope it's not the dad :[
@StateofOhayo I agree that the hinted time lag is probably why Roxy is only now meeting her match (and suspect more lag will be part of what leads to the prophesied regret), but it's still awful contrived that the timing worked out that way. And this is back to back with Rudy having just the book for this labyrinth by accident. Now we do have literal gods pulling strings in this setting, so we can place it all on that, but the literal deus ex machina has always been one of my least favorite things about the show. It's lazy to make it blatant. I could see the rescue working cleanly with your theory that time is distorted in general if Roxy's room moves much much slower, giving a ton of time for a "last minute" save and about to cause a ton of problems. I think that's unlikely, though.

@Bio Yeah, this is also anime so it could certainly be a chain of super coincidental events back to back. Since I haven't read the original material I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt that maybe some details were not adapted and the result makes it seem that way. In any case, we'll probably have a more decent explanation next episode (or not).

And It has already been pointed out that there are some flaws in the teleportation magic, particularly concerning time, in the previous episode. Well overall, it wasn't that bad episode.

@StateofOhayo Tbh i have no idea why people reading too hard into the time lag. In LN it stated that it took Elinalise around 7 min to teleport so 15 min total.The whole time lag was to adress more on how the teleport magic actually work (since its a small spoiler for season 3 i won't go into what exactly its about)
But still no idea why people freak out about it and think its a potential issue. Nanahoshi literally used teleport magic to travel around the world with Orsted

They finally enter Rapan, the labrynth city!
Reunification with father and company! (Dwarf guy kinda odd for a sec there.)

And alas, they enter the Teleporter Labrynth, made easier by Rudeus's knowledge, even managing to find 1/2 of the people they need to save!!

@Qiou Considering the anime seems to be adapting 3 volumes per cour, this season will likely end at the end of a volume so it is highly unlikely the season will end on a cliffhanger.

The pacing is just off. Rudy finds out Roxy is missing, and it's all very dramatic. Then absolutely nothing happens in between (they kill a spider or something, that's not story). Then she's rescued immediately. All of it is ten minutes of screen time. You don't do it like this! At the very least "oh no she's missing" and "oh yes we saved her" should have been two separate episodes.

@nibelungsgold Well there were supposed to be more in-depth exploring of the labyrith first, and they saved Roxy on their second dive
There is also a small chapter from her POV of struggling to survive for a month (which actually showcased how impressive she is cause its not an easy task) before he saved her. THO they will probably show her POV next episode, and if not i think someone will post it in one of those threads

Amazing episode! I loved seeing Rudeus getting to reunite with all these people, and especially with Roxy at the end. Now I know for sure that the Man God was tripping, because if Rudeus hadn’t gone, he would’ve never seen Roxy again. Can’t wait for the next episode! (10/10)

Rudy finally meet his father Paul and their maid.

And now he finally helped amd reunites with Roxy.

Elinalise and Paul finally made up and that book rudy had was a big W for them.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Wow really, she's been lost in there for months, and they just so happen to find her at the exact moment she's about to die? Convenient. Please don't set her up as this badass mage, who survived here solo for so long, just have the first thing we see of her is her losing, cowering in fear, pissing herself, and immediately needing to be saved. It kind of takes away from the "she's a badass mage" look you were trying to sell 5 minutes earlier.

Mf Geese didn't look like being in a rush at all! Mf could have been more clear while writing that damn letter!

Also leave it to Paul to ruin any potential heartfelt/emotional moment by going full horny mode. He had the chance to catch up and connect with the son he hasn't seen in years (even ask for the daughters he sent to him) and the first thing that comes to his mind is to ask MC about his sexual experiences with Sylphy smh.
But well, at least it seems Paul has his days counted considering the amount of death flags he has been setting as of late. Not gonna lie, him dying by the end of this arc would give me great joy.

Oh, and MC's third lover is finally here. The badass mage who fought waves and waves of monsters non-stop for a whole month but have to be conveniently reduced to an incontinent damsel in distress in order to have MC saving the day and somehow justify her eventually falling in love with him: her saviour.

Man, I sure was missing Roxy. Good to have her back.

Is this what the weird god meant but him cheating on sylphie? I hope not, I really don't want that kind of drama.

Don't worry. Everything seems to point at Rudeus having multiple wives. And for better or for worse, Sylphy seems like the kind of girl who forgives everything her man does.

Rudeus finally met Paul and Lilia again. The fact that Paul has no idea that he's related to Elinalise now is funny lol.

They finally entered the labyrinth. Wonder how many episodes it will take for them to rescue Zenith.

Roxy was fighting those things for a month?! Crazy that she survived this long. Man, it's been so long since we last saw Roxy and even longer since Rudeus was with her. It's crazy. Roxy used to be my favorite Mushoku girl but her lack of screen time + the focus on Sylphie made Sylphie my new favorite. But maybe the next few episodes will make me change my mind. But I kinda doubt it.

The next few episodes are going to be action-packed. Looking forward to them even tho I have a rough idea of what will happen.

Can you explain Paul and Elinalise being family? I feel like I'm missing something.

I've binge watched the cour until this episode. I didn't read the novel but at least from the adaptation I wouldn't say I'm satisfied.

Roxy had managed to survive for a month in the labyrinth, yet she was overwhelmed at the exact moment Rudeus reached her.
It would be way better if Roxy was trapped and didn't have a way out. She barely managed to survive in the labyrinth, but her strength is deteriorating and her hope of finding a viable way is dwindling. She could be desperate and hopeless but she could keep her grace and her name as a distinguished magician.

Some other discussions mentioned Rudy found Roxy based on her scent. It is not a bad idea but
it would be better if Rudy managed to find the general direction based on his knowledge on teleportation magics and then used Roxy's scent to eventually find her. Ruby researched on the teleportation incident and helped with Nanahoshi's experiments in the university and that was all for nothing in a teleportation magic-based labyrinth except for the book he brought?

Well that's the part that was kinda skipped in the anime :
There was almost nothing to research on teleportation magic. Since its a forbidden magic most of the research were destroyed after second human-demon war. The only decent book was recommended to him by Sylphie and it was considered a fairy tale and on pure coincidence it was based on real labyrinth and the exact one they are diving in at the same moment

About him finding Roxy.Yes it was described as him feeling her scent in the air like i mentioned in my previous messages but overall it boils down to

I love Mushoku Tensei, every single part of it, the fanservice, the lolis, the character being a degenerate, the character growing and stopping being a degenerate but this season has been extremely disappointing even ignoring the censorship that started with season 2, are people blind?

Ayoo lots of returning characters here like Geese who I thought was fun asf to watch with Paul as well and at the end looks like Rudy got to save Roxy who's lost in the Labyrinth and I'm pretty sure Rudy fulfilled Roxy's fantasy of meeting her fated lover in a labyrinth.

The Labyrinth City of Rapan is where Rudeus and Elinalise will find Geese and Paul, though the former is easily found first to report on Zenith's status.

Rudeus finally meeting Paul after quite the while, he's even more disheveled than the last we saw of him. Him and Elinalise may still have bad relations, but I'm glad they made it up for the reconciliation. Getting onto Zenith's rescue mission, and what both Paul and Geese reported last sightings are even more treacherous, not to mention that Roxy fell into a teleportation circle within the labyrinth. This immediately shatters Rudeus's expectations that such a person like her should be able to solo any labyrinth, but this is the S-rank Teleporter Labyrinth they're talking about, which thanks to the book, they're able to decipher a lot more information. Lilia herself too is fine, and Rudeus sharing about his marriage to Sylphie, there's some resentment in that, not when Zenith is not in the picture.

Tackling the Teleporter Labyrinth altogether with Talhand, Paul is actually still quite capable...to show off, not when this is Rudeus's first labyrinth. Going down the stratums seem easy, but there's danger every corner, at least for Rudeus who needs to handle monster attacks with delicacy. Thanks to the book, Paul's group is able to get far, but there's a part of it that he senses Roxy in another area solo-ing against monsters, that she finds it tough to face against and being backed to a corner in distress.

The Holy Relic does its job lols, and the reunion between Rudeus and Roxy could not have been THIS perfect.
