Not sure if I missed something but how does Rudeus not have a single care in the world about confirming the safety of his mother when all the intel he got was Roxy had somewhat confirmed Zeniths whereabouts and Roxy is making an attempt to locate her.

Everyone else is on a rescue mission and Rudeus is attending classes and planning his marriage. I feel like his father is gonna be more disappointed in him due to his priorities being in the wrong place once again.

@Azuchi Ah I see, thanks for not spoiling. I was afraid I missed something in 1 of the older episodes.

As a matter of fact, he is concerned of Zenith. He headed out to search for her, but due to his depression, he wasnt able to focus on it correctly. Later when he got over his depression and after that bro talk with Soldat, he starts making an effort to find her. His plan was to make a name for himself and spread it far and wide, so if there is anyway Zenith will come across that name, they would be able to help her out (or something like that). Also, zenith was an adventurer from a former S Rank party. Rudy trusts that wherever she is, if she's alive, she'll be able to take care of herself. Later, we get to know from Elinalise that , Paul is already partied with Roxy and on their way to find her. (I'm pretty sure Elinalise mentioned that in the part 1 of the 2nd season, or I'm forgetting if that part was missed). So, he shifted his focus from finding her to other things, like curing his ED (which I understand many find questionable) and also on the cause for the mana calamity (thats what he's working with Nanahoshi) and later his marriage.

Also, in 4-5 episodes, we'll get more picture on this, so all I can say is, be patient.

Elinalise specifically made all this way from Demon continent to let Rudeus know that Paul, Roxy and the squad are on it and there's no need for him to go. Because distance is not a joke. And there's no means to keep each other posted. Imagine going from China to Africa just to find out that you missed each other along the way. And now you are, like an idiot, in Begaritt continent while your whole family is in Northern Kingdoms. It would be stupid, don't you think?

I mean, that exact thing happened between Paul and Rudy. There was no proper communications via post as Rudy was constantly travelling between towns and was on his own adventures to make it back home, that he missed Paul's letters addressing him in the guilds.

There were like two episodes explaining exactly why it will be Paul looking for Zenith, not Rudeus and Paul literally did confronted Rudeus about not looking for Zenith as he thought he should and after which they came to an agreement, that Paul will handle looking for survivors, not Rudy.

@al_vl Thats a good point that they may potentially miss each other on the round trip and I do remember them stating that it was like a 6-12 month trip down.

Correct me if I'm wrong but ever since Elinalise broke the news about his mother and the rescue operation in the beginning of last season, Rudeus has not once brought up the topic and has brushed it off as nothing. It could potentially be the anime just not showing his concerns towards Zenith over the past year or he has a sense of safe and security that Paul & Roxy group will get the job done.

Just to clarify I'm not hating on the show but quiet the opposite. Its by far my no1 anime and I'm just looking into the details as I wanna understand the story in more depth without reading the novels.

Of course he is worried about her, but what can he do?

He knows that others are looking for Zenith and he is ready to help if help is needed. He is currently very far away from Paul, probably doesn't even know exactly where he is, who knows what will happen in the meantime until he finds him, he is doing by far the smartest thing he can do, stay where he is and wait for news and not run off head over heels.

Elenalise specifically told him where she was (some labyrinth/dungeon area near a castle i think it was) and to not worry about it since Paul was already on it. I don't doubt he's still worried about her, but he also knows that she and Paul used to be adventurers and she's a lot safer than Eris or his sisters would be.

In fact I think the anime made it sound like she was raiding the dungeon by choice now, since she happened to land in/near it.

@Avianah Rudy mentioned concern for Zenith at the end of s2 ep12, but he was talked out going to Begaritt by Ariel and Luke in favor of not immediately leaving Sylphie. Additionally, Hitogami also told him at the start of s2 that he would regret it if he traveled to begaritt, so that also worked as further reason not to go for now.

1. He trusts Paul and Roxy in particular to be strong enough to find her together and with others too based on the conversation he had with Elinalise at the tavern. She literally told him not to worry since she trusts the people involved in working together to find her. Plus letters take forever to be received and arrive anyway that could provide info about what is happening.
2. Hitogami telling him to stay in University rather than go, this is very important for reasons that aren't just marriage but won't go further into details for that. But for now, Hitogami's advice has been helpful to Rudeus in every way and neglecting it currently in his head could have major consequences.
3. Just wait for the next few episodes.

You have missed some major plot points. I'll lay it out for you. This is key points right after s1.
1. After being heart broken by Eris, he's immediately reminded of his mom. He goes searching for her.
2. He's doing some side quests, and meets Sara and Soldat's party.
3. Elinalise gets info about Zenith from Roxxy
4.Elinalise and Rudeus meet at a bar in northern continent. She informs Rudeus about it. He decides to leave next morning to Begarritt continent.
5. Man God comes in Rudeus's dream and tells him not to go to Begarritt because he'll regret that choice forever. He assures him that since Roxxy and Pauls party are there, they'll rescue Zenith .
6.Man God tells Rudeus that he can research about Mana teleportation incident at Ranoa Magic University and can even cure his ED.
7. By Man God's words Rudeus leaves for Ranoa along with Elinalise.
8. He meets Nanahoshi in Ranoa who he helps researching teleportation portals and magic. He meets Sylphy who cures his ED.
9. Seeing as how Man Gods words have become true. He tries to take it easy in life.
I assure you everything in this arc is a set up for some of the best volumes ever written in LN history. Also PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THR STORY. It's more tha worth it

What this has reminded me of is how easy it is for me to forget some smaller details and nuances in a show in between the periods it takes for new seasons to air.

Why would I spend my time watching shows I don't like? 💢

His father is the leader of an S-Rank party. Roxxy is a Saint-class magician (they're hardly double digits in the whole verse) He trusts them to get the job done. But he will soon discover it. Don't worry, there's a turning point coming up. Get hyped

dude has never played fantast RPG before and it shows sheesh

You FIRST go and do all the side quests, then you move on to the main plot.
Because if you do the main storyline, it locks you out of completing quests in regions that will become inaccessible later.

If you were a GAMER, you wouldn't be asking such questions to begin with.

Yeah, I kind of don’t understand where this is going …

The end of the last part had Rudy voicing his commitment to finding Zenith before joining up with Sylphie and the princess. Now he’s settling down instead, and the princess is asking him to cut Sylphie’s ties to her after requesting Rudeus’ support before. Kinda two-faced writing going on here.

I wonder if the writer just really wanted to fit in a settling down arc for his own personal fantasy. It would be relatable haha

Rudeus see Paul and Ghislaine combat abillity, they all in a party with Zenith.
With Paul and Roxy already going to save Zenith, its kinda make sense to me why he can forget her mom for now.

WTF is this crap?! He rather plays house now with Sylphie then actually doing something about his mother, research into the calamity, gathering intell about Orsten and his hate towards Hitogami. Why don't we see anything about Eris? Even Rujerd! No tales of legend, correspondance or anything. This is F boring! Also what about his special demon eye? Will it further develop? No new info about it at all.

It's high time to leave this school arc behind and hit the road Jack!

@ghier Well he just trusts his father and roxy to go save zenith and he doesn't want to leave syphie behind since begaritt travel takes like 2 years plus man god said he would assuredly regret going to begaritt.(Also I'm pretty sure the princess just said that because she doesn't want to keep relying on sylphie and wanted her to walk her own path)

His father and his party are searching for her, its obvious to me he will go to save her when they have the chance. For now there is no reason for him to do anything.

On Rudeus' past, no.

On Rudeus' present, yes.

No act exists without consequence, price and responsibility, a fact Rudeus learned in practice.

Keep in mind it is about the path, not the destination.

Maybe what you're missing is that there isn't a flight he can hop on and just go where they think Zenith is. It would take more than a years journey to go to Begaritt from where Rudeus currently is. Elinalise has told him him that Paul and his party are closer and they've also set out for Begaritt. and then even Man-god intervened when Rudeus thought of going to Begaritt instead of the university. by the time Rudeus even gets there, the rescue might be finished.
