| Best girl is finally back Rudeus, Paul, and their companions rescued Roxy, who had been trapped alone in the labyrinth, and returned to the town for her to recover. While noticing that Roxy sometimes seems distant, Rudeus reminisces about old times with her. Three days later, they re-enter the Teleporter Labyrinth, determined to increase their pace in conquering its floors as they resume the search for Zenith. As same as ever, first thing Rudeus does when hugging Roxy is smell her... same old same old. Also, wtf was that noise he made when throwing up. It definitely wasn't the sound of throwing up, that's for sure. But anyways, just seeing Rudeus and Roxy interact again brings a smile to my face. Looks like Roxy's even caught some feelings for Rudeus, because ofc he needs to have a harem. Episode was more about dungeon exploring than anything else. What could the magic circle lead them to exactly... Zenith at last? |

| It's great to see Roxy catching up with Rudeus after all this time since they've been apart. Rudeus remembers the times they've been together and the past. Seems Roxy's personality is still generally the same as before. It looks like this episode had them return to that same labyrinth but with an united party that includes Paul, Elinalise, ec. Almost like the episode served as a celebration for the family and friends. Not going to lie, I hope to see more of Paul and Rudeus teaming up. |

| Another amazing episode this week it was really nice to see Rudeus and Roxy together again Some LN Extra Details (Volume 12 Chapter 4-7) - Rudy is jealous when Talhand is carrying Roxy - Now Rudy kinda understands how Sylphie feels when he forget about her before she reveals herself. - Rudeus said his spell his just mana enhanced Frost Nova even though Talhand and Roxy thought it might be an Emperor-tier magic, Absolute Zero. - When Roxy is saying how small her mana pool is, Rudy thought she might have same amount as Sylphie, or even more than her. - Rudy was referencing Ultra Slash attack from Ultraman when he and Roxy doing the Icicle Blade and Stone Cannon combo together - Paul said he has a keen sight that helped him identify and bought his short short in Rapan. That sword has Steel-Cutting ability and is able to cut steel in two even when used by his non-dominant hand, which is useful against Armored Warriors. - Roxy theorise that the beasts in labyrinth might be consuming mana as food, so Rudy thought that there might be mana that can be consume and the one that couldn't, such as magic attacks since they did not just eat his spells. - The party mentions that usually Ghislaine will usualy help make the choice when they are having issues similar to choosing between the magic circles. - Elinalise and Talhand are still skeptical on how much Ghislaine has changed when Rudy is defending her. - Rudy thought it feels strange when Ghislaine, who is the person in party that maintain in contact with Paul since in Buena village is not here. Differences from LN - Rudy was often shooed by Lilia when he tries to check up on her when she was recovering after being rescued - Extra screentime with Roxy shopping with Rudy shopping together - Missing minor moment with Rudy, Talhand and Roxy hanging around for drinks after clearing 4th floor. - Paul's talk with Rudy is when they are having piss together - It takes two times for Rudy to break the stair bricks possibly because he is holding back too much. |

| Well, you were like 9 when she last saw you so I think it's only natural that she doesn't recognize you lol Oh goddd nooooo, please no one tell Roxy that Rudy is married. She is super adorable acting like that though. I wonder how much time exactly it takes for them to go in and out of the labyrinth. I'm guessing they can't sleep there so it's always within one day. Edit: I forgot that in last episode when they were on the second floor Geese said "I thought it would take us several days to get this far", so they do sleep there, my bad. |

| Here we gooo! Lovely episode! |
| Loved the episode. It was really nice seeing Rudeus and Roxy reunite officially, even if the beginning after the hug itself was not quite as romantic and perfect as expected with Rudeus throwing up out of fear of being forgotten lol. Wasn't surprising at all that the anime went back to show a bit of what was happening from Roxy's perspective, but nice to see that added. Does make sense that Roxy didn't recognize him though, the man was like 5 when Roxy left Buena Village so seeing him as more of a grown up would be quite the internal shock once realizing the truth. It was very wholesome though seeing how much respect Rudeus had for Roxy and given that it has been over a decade since he has seen her and given how important she is in his life and building himself up to who he is now, you could tell how attached he was to her. And Roxy of course in her own subtle way, being attached and extra caring to him too in a shy way. The scenes with Roxy talking about the past together with him were really nice in reminding her of how far she has come with the Buena Village portion of her life being that important to her, even if it was only 2 years. Really liked Paul's metaphor there with the two swords and how he only had one before but now relies on both despite their different roles, serves as an effective metaphor for the situation at hand involving Rudeus. Bits of world building there too with the labyrinth exploration, as well as Rudeus and Roxy shopping together for different items that would be helpful to conquer the labyrinth along the way with the help of the book which is always nice. Beyond that, Paul was really good too. Not just with the metaphor like mentioned earlier for advice, but also wanting to be a cool father figure that for once, can show off his good side to Rudeus through what he can do best, and any compliments that come along the way fueled his ego quite well. It kind of shows how close the original party he was in actually was with how Elinalise laughed off that and generally, how comfortable they are with each other in this kind of mode when they all used to adventure around and do these kinds of activities for a living. The chemistry shines well here despite the anime only showing these people off together for brief scenes previously and the last 3 episodes. Time flew by really quickly and overall, it was a very nice episode with good mix of world building, action, character bonding and a nice, calm before the storm kind of attitude before things get really intense with these last few episodes to go. Next episode is quite something to say the least. Called 'Parents' on Father's Day fittingly. |
| Roxy was adorable in this ep, shame that the person she's smitten with already has a wife and future kid on the way. It was really cute seeing her and Rudy reminisce though about the past, which almost feels nostalgic for me as a viewer and LN reader too seeing them talk about scenes like that from the earlier days. Paul being a cool dad trying to make up for looking like a loser in front of Rudy all the time with his advice and fighting skills, his expression after receiving a compliment from Rudy was pure gold. |
Roxy is extra cute this episode, her and Rudy look perfect together. Date |
| A little touched and also happy that Rudy could meet with Roxy, as well as Roxy being able to meet Rudy again, even though it was awkward at first, they could get along again as usual. However, this time there was a different feeling, and it seemed that Roxy began to admire Rudy and seemed to hope for something, hopefully Roxy would get what was expected. And what about Rudy's promise to Roxy to go to the labyrinth together? 😆😅😅 And also in the future, will happiness be accompanied by a sadness later, enough to look forward to. Roxy is still cute & really adorable this time😍  |
| First Roxy episode in a while and Rudy has to immediately ruin it by sniffing her and being overly attached, ugh. Welp, now it seems like she sees him in different eyes and he's not seeing that nor stating his current relationship with Sylphie. Also, there're major death flags now surrounding Paul and with the title of the next episode I don't think he'll come out of it unbruised. I'm just speculating so I could be wrong or it could actually happen later on. Furthermore, I wasn't entirely convinced by the small montage of Roxy surviving in the dungeon for a month. How did she sustain her basic necessities and such? Was this all part of the LN? No matter to dwelve into it now but still. |

| Can we not do a fucking harem in every single god damn anime? What's up with the japanese and polygamy... |
 |
| Basically only one episode so far with Roxy and she's already the better girl. |
Reply to Itzbouncy
Season 2 has felt so flat to me, The first half felt slow, boring and focused on the wrong things and the second half was building up, I was so glad that Rudeus had finally left the school and we would get some fun storyline or fighting scenes again. But Idk what it is, but since the end of season one, every major storyline has felt rushed for speeding up the 'plot' or something. Ive not read the original content so Idk if its like this in the manga, but they found Roxy straight away and it would not surprise me if they find his mother within the next 2 episodes. I was actually getting a little excited when I saw the end of episode 8, but this episode has kind of brought me back to reality, it took it back to the annoying side of the anime. My biggest problem with how this has worked out, is that Roxy showed little emotion now that she had found Rudeus again. like I SWEAR THE ENTIRE REASON SHE WAS SEARCHING TO BEGIN WITH WAS TO FIND RUDEUS. It was like one of the main storylines of Roxy throughout season 1. So why when they meet again does she have no emotion. Now I understand it might be because she is tired from being in the labyrinth for 1 month, but once she comes to, its the same, little emotion. Idk i thought I would rant a little as the anime has felt so dull and seems like its skipping parts of the story, either to save time or the author of the original story, just lost care in their work and wanted to end it quicker so is trying to close loose ends quicker.
| @Itzbouncy She was looking not just for Rudeus but family too, and in the Demon Continent, once she found out that Rudeus was doing well and was travelling with the Sperd as comrades and was in a successful party, she felt reassured. Was looking for other family members along the way during that time after like Zenith, Lilia, Aisha, etc. It's not the same as not knowing a single thing about him and finding him out of complete nowhere where she was stressed that he could have been gone for good. She was exhausted but you could tell she was reassured more than anything seeing him once she was okay after rest and knew that the person was him, she liked being around him a lot and staring at him so its not like no emotions there after. |
| Bro, Rudeus didn't got the metaphor about the swords Paul was talking about. This episode was the calm before the storm, people get ready for father's day next episode! |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| We got to see a little bit of Roxy's perspective just like in the LN, but sadly we couldn't hear her thought on the part where she calls Rudeus "handsome" at first sight. But Paul explaining the two swords was really nice, because that dialogue doesn't happen on the LN I believe...  |
 |
| It's nice to finally see Rudy and Roxy reunited, even though it was a bit awkward at first with Roxy not recognizing Rudy, followed by him puking lol. I'm glad we got to see them traveling in the same party, and it looks like Roxy caught some feelings. Rudy, you gotta tell her.... Looks like the real action of this arc will begin next week. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I love Roxy. She's too cute. Paul's metaphor with two swords was pretty good. |
| Rudy not telling Roxy about Sylphie is actually making Roxy fall for him even more, she was very adorable and Rudy thinking she was insecure cause of his height. Paul showing off in front of Rudy is always nice to watch and also encouraging him to build his harem😭😭 Pretty chill episode with great chemistry among the party, great Rudy-Roxy moments but also more great fights and world buliding. Looks like no more fun as the dreaded thing is approaching as next title is "Parents" on father's day. |
| The much anticipated reunion between master and student is finally here and it was as good as we’d hoped. “I’ve been down here a whole month” yea so lemme smell it lmao. That’s the best part 😭 Nah but in all seriousness really cute reunion between Roxy and Rudy and I love how awkward Roxy was at first. Throughout the episode she stays all flustered and conservative around Rudy because it’s obvious she’s into him. I think Rudy is the only one who hasn’t realised it because he still sees her as his teacher and goddess , someone who is way over mere mortal things like romance. It’s cute that Roxy’s idea of a date is a labyrinth raid. Asking Rudy to solo tackle a dungeon took a lot of courage for her. Love how comfortable and at peace she looked just taking a nap on rudy’s back! Rudy being so much bigger than her now reminds me of how when you’re younger you think your parents are so big and strong, then as we grow up we see that they’re not as big as we remember and they need help. Often we still keep those idealised versions of our parents in our head like Rudy has for Roxy Only thing that annoyed me though is Rudy not mentioning he got a wife and a kid on the way at all to Roxy. I know he’s too slow to realise she’s into him rn, but when she asked if Nanahoshi was his gf he should’ve been like “oh no, I’m married” wouldn’t be able to have harem antics tho if we did that ig.. Paul’s two swords/wives analogy went right over his head 😂 sylphie and Roxy would serve different roles. One helped him thru his lowest point and the other serves as constant inspiration/an ideal to strive toward.. Anyway before all of that, we need to save zenith, the whole point of this expedition. Hopefully they get there soon! The backpat scene was so funny, everyone’s hitting Rudy so hard on the back and Roxy is too scared and shy to do it lmao. Oh yea and Paul being excited about being called stronger by Rudeus was so sweet. |

| I'm happy we finally have a full episode with Roxy. It's been a while. I didn't expect Rudeus to throw up just from her rejection. Now he knows what Sylphie felt when he didn't recognize her. Of course Paul makes the infamous family face and then later endorses polygamy by making an obvious comparison with swords. This is the Greyrat way |
| Damn the timing of next episode !!! |
“ If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom... ” |
| Dammit, I fell asleep and missed the release. Well, this episode certainly did not end where I thought it would. Guess we're gonna leave that for the intro next week. All in all, this seems more on pace than the last two episodes. I forgot no one tells Roxy about Sylphie. |
 |
| welp, if Paul has "two swords", then Rudy will have "three swords". next week eps title and special day... |
| I know I should probably be against polygamy and whatnot but I'm cheering for Roxy. She's by far the best of the girls that have been in Rudy's life. |
 |
| Okay nice episode, but the sniff was weird. |
