And in fitting fashion, bots are back to ruin the score of the most important ep of this season. Wonderful... what a shame that this happens constantly.

@MangagnaM Alas this is a fight we will never win, there will always be uncultured swine out there whose whole motive is to ruin the fun for others.

I honestly didn't like at all the fact that Rudeus considers Zenith a stranger he lived with instead of a mother, but the episode was incredible
@Saku33 It's possible Rudy simply doesn't understand his own feelings.

The memories of his mother is what drives him to get up after Eris leaves him. And the face he makes when he realizes Zenith's condition betrays his actual feelings, more than the rationalization he gave Paul earlier.

Rudy is not a reliable narrator. There have been several times where he has become extremely emotional over this family that he "barely knows," but he won't think like that in his own self talk.

Btw why does Rudy still use incantations sometimes? Does it make it less mentally taxing to cast?
The animation during the fight is beautiful
WAIT WHAT WHY NOOOOO
Literally got goosebumps when they showed half of Paul's body laying like that
And that ending... Did Zenith really just lose all of her memories? Like, literally everything? Dear god T_T
Happy father's day everyone
@Embient he cant use heal magic voiceless because he cant imagine how mana is supposed to heal people

And i cant imagine how Norn will be broken after Paul's death

@Saku33 He obviously likes Zenith but his connection with her isn't quite the same as someone like Paul. But hey, Rudy might also have not been honest with his feelinsg completely since at the very end, the way he felt goes quite beyond tragic for a random roommate feeling.

Some people maybe forgot the detail but rudy demon eye won't work if he didn't saw the full size of the target or if the target was too fast and can predict rudy movement like ruijerd, you can see his eyes work at the begining because rudy was far enough to see the full size of the hydra, why at that moment he wqs too close so he can't use his demon eyes, well he need to be close to burn the hydra head

Best episode so far, with very epic fight, but....

First Paul lost his life and there is something very wrong with Zenith.

RIP Paul....

Having read the novels I knew this was coming but it still hits so hard. Hate him or love him, Paul was an excellent, complex character, the likes of which rarely are seen in this medium.

They nailed the adaptation with the ending specially. The music background, no vocals...really well done.

Next episode will cause an uproar I bet.

For me, it lost a little of the essence of the anime, making this Hydra in 3D, although it wasn't grotesque, and you can watch the action scene and enjoy the subsequent scenes, in silence...

I like how quick and abrupt that was. One moment they were doing fine, then he blinked and his arm's gone along with half of his father. No last word, no warning, nothing.

It felt "real" in a way. Sometimes, seconds is all it takes.

So Rudeus actually saved one parent at the cost of the other parent's life? And now his mother is in Casca mode? Yes, this season really jumps more and more into grimdark and dark fantasy without stopping. Also, are major studios choosing special dates for important episodes again?

"I never considered him my father but he always considered me his son"

RIP Paul
he will be missed
This too on fathers day
they managed to save zenith but at what cost
looks like she isn't herself anymore
feel so bad for Rudy

Some LN Extra Details (Volume 12 Chapter 8-10 (partial))

- Elinalise lends mana imbued crystals to Roxy and Rudy incase they needed to recover their mana.
- Hydra is a type of dragon. It was varied by colors of white, gray and gold in Demon Continent, but they never saw a green type before.
- Roxy said it is a Manatite Hydra that absorbs mana. It was spotted during the second Great Human-Demon War. It was last heard to be slain before the continent split apart.
- They cremated Paul's body there to prevent it from being zombified even though Rudy was conflicted by it. He had hoped to bring some part of him back as a proof to his family, but none is left
- Paul only left 3 things, the metal breastplate that protected his torso, the magic sword and his favourite sword.
- A lot of thinking and reminiscing when Rudy was at the inn. He wonders what Paul is actually thinking seeing his final face in his death, and what is he actually trying to say beforehand (Maybe we will see that more in next episode)
- Rudy had hoped that he could celebrate and then grief together with Zenith once she woke up, but he was truly depressed to see her condition and knowing that he had lost both of them.

Differences from LN
- Part of chapter 10 is shortened after they saved Zenith

I don't remember if it's been explained in the anime but Rudy can't cast healing magic without incantation...it has to do with him imagining what he wants to do with his mana and he can't get to imagine how to heal wound....casting doesn't require knowledge of the process so he does that

It would be really nice to have an elemental fire sword on hand, but there's none, or is there such a thing? lol

RIP Paul, literally.
Rudy was being careless as he smirked earlier.
What irony and tragedy. -1 + 1 = 0
So they burned his body instead of bringing it back.
Then her mother turned into a child-like state.
Rudy is in for another tragic life.

P.S. I'll refrain from reading the spoilers before my comment. OwO

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

In the end Paul died a proud father and that is all that matters. Thankfully he won’t ever know what happened to Zenith as I suspect it would have totally crushed his soul.

Rough, rough times for Rudy… He needs Sylphie in the worst way right now. Roxy’s here though…

Once again, the anime delivers. However, small bits of world history are left out in the anime, bits that make the world richer. I get why, but it sucks that these things aren't there.

Holy fucking hell what an episode. Might be one of the best one's I've ever seen. Absolutely a 5/5 episode.

Top tier animation, an intense fight and man that Paul reveal was just BRUTAL! Nice that it played for a little longer and the music just made it hit so much harder.
Damn this show plays with your emotions. I just fall more and more in love with this series after every episode.

I'm sorry but that was just shit writing. Rudeus just randomly spazzes out so Paul has to sacrifice himself and then Rudy goes all reckless and gives his own arm away. Did a monkey write this? Paul was miles away from being the best character but he didn't deserve this. This is basically dropping a bridge on him. The disrespect.

E: And they Casca'd Zenith? OOoooh they really trying to piss people off, huh?
Also, everything Paul said and did this episode was basically setting up death flags. Man had more red flags in him than a Nascar crash.

A true father protects his family, wife and children. Its what gives him meaning. Thats what Paul did in the end, and is why his last expression was of satisfaction, knowing that Rudy is alive and that they succeeded in their mission.
