Mushoku Tensei II: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Episode 8 Discussion

A surprise confession and a surprise meeting. Rudy getting to know Cliff a little more, from their first meeting a couple episodes ago Cliff didn't like Rudy at all. Rudy helping Cliff not only from bullies but also with his love life. Cliff having an odd crush on Elinalise of all people. Stricken by her beauty Cliff simply cannot let rumors of her abide, even if we know those rumors are true, leading Rudy to save him from six dudes ganging up on Cliff. Whom then requests Rudy to help introduce him to Elinalise. Rudy is understandably dumbfounded by such a request, Elinalise curse stops her from only having one partner after all. Its funny seeing Rudy hesitancy about introducing them since we the audience definitely feel the same way. Regardless of warning Cliff still wants that introduction, Elinalise being shocked and pulling Rudy aside was funny too. She's even surprised considering her curse, but they somehow become an official couple. Cliff earnestness won her over and she's now gonna suppress her curse while Cliff looks to cure it. Just like Rudy I'm befuddled at such an occurrence.
Speaking of proposals Rudy now that he's the beast girls boss must fight off their suitors in duel after duel. With it now the time of the year when beast people have their marriage bouts the girls leave that business up to Rudy. Naturally he can fend them all off but its tiring none the less. Until eventually somehow so powerful shows up, The Demon King Badigadi. The fiance of Kishirika whom we meet last season, he's a giant dude with six arms and a torso as wide as a car. Rudy casually talking to him while his staff was being fetched made me laugh some more. It must be awkward trying to make small talk with a being as powerful as the Demon King. Once his staff arrives Rudy charges up the same attack we saw him try against Orsted last season. This time he has ample preparation and delivered a wicked attack winning him the duel. Badigadi took it very well other than delivering his own hit after declaring Rudy the winner. Also he's now gonna join their class of all things, never a dull moment at the magic Academy.

That was not Roxy, she just has also blue hair. Her name is Nina Farion and we will see later a bit more from her and why she was standing there (at least I hope so).

Rudeus' attack...

They skipped some dialogue so it could show the whole duel in this episode. 
Specifically the part where Rudeus tells Badigadi how he fought against Orsted, managed to hurt him, and still survive. 
And Badigadi tells Rudeus to use the exact same spell that he used on Orsted, against him.

Waiting for morality complaint posts about the age difference between Elinalise and Cliff.

Was absolutely not expecting Cliff’s confession to go well after Rudeus introduced him to Elinalise, but damn they hit it off lol, I didn’t think any lad could tie her down but I guess we’ll see if he can truly fix her, that would be a sight for sure. And it was quite funny how Rudeus had to fend off Linia and Pursena’s potential mates lol, it looked like they had a huge amount but thankfully a lot of them were beaten due to the appearance of Badigadi, I’d love to see Kishirika again but this guy seems like a hoot so far lol.

And I heard the scene where Rudeus talks with Badi and uses an attack on him goes a bit different in the LN but I still thought it was quite awesome here, he practically shot an anti-tank rifle at the guy and it appeared to mess him up real bad, Rudeus got a punch in the face as payment tho lol. And after another case of cat scratch fever from Linia, it looks like Badi is now a student at the school, things are about to get even more wacky lol.
