Don't want spoilers, but was this supposed to be the regret? The Man-God clearly stated that if Rudeus goes to rescue his mother that he'd end up regretting that decision. Was the regret just poorly portrayed in the last couple episodes or does it happen later on?

His father literally died, it's just that Rudeus accepted it and moved forward.

His dad might not have died, and Roxy might still have been saved (but this I'm less certain about).

I'm not a light novel reader, it might be explained but Idn

It happens later on, you didn't want spoilers so I won't write it down but it will be explained.
I doubt they will cut it when animating it.

@Cielord Presumably the alternative was never rescuing his mother, who knows what would have happened to Paul and company, and Norn possibly running off like she'd tried to do. For there to be regret you'd have to weigh the two options and determine the other to be better. That didn't happen. Rudeus never demonstrates regret, at least not in the anime. I'm hoping that someone that's read the LN can confirm or not whether this was supposed to be the regret.

I was pretty much at the edge of my seat the entire last episode waiting to see what the regret was going to be. They even teased us with the house being seemingly empty. Was left pretty disappointed with that plot line specifically.

@nicothemad This was the kind of answer I was hoping for. Thanks for that.

@Kingslee-Brigade It was pretty much said that he is gonna have regret either way. And just because there wasn't a clear showing of it, at least not in the anime, doesn't mean he didn't felt regret. His father died and his mother condition... it's very clear that he thought "maybe Hitogami was right" at least once.

The way I had interpreted it, maybe the Man-God was unaware Nanahoshi knew of the teleportation circles (because of beef with the dragon god) so he didn’t know they’d be able to make the trip as quick as they did. And the regret would come from missing the birth of child.
On the other hand someone else commented that the regret would only come later, so I’m probably completely wrong.

I don’t think Paul dying was the thing Rudy was supposed to regret. It was only one line, but Rudy said something about “Paul dying was sad but not regret” as he was panicking trying figure out if anything happened.

If rudeus didn't go to the begaritt Paul will not die because he dies while protecting rudeus

I have a feeling the fallout isn’t over. Good question, one I’ve wondered about both while the show was still airing and after. And I think it’s most likely that the fallout isn’t over. The regret could be the thing with a certain two adults who were important to him in the dungeon, but I don’t think that’s it.

@BlueHawk02 I'm surprised no one else asked it because that was the only thing on my mind after the show ended. I was expecting some gut-wrenching reveal, and truly thought it was going to be when Rudeus discovered the house seemingly empty. Was completely expecting a Re:Zero-esque cliffhanger. Someone else claimed the regret does indeed come later, so looking forward to that.

Pretty sure Hitokami is full of shit. Him telling Rudy to stay and bang Beastgirls would be obviously the worst possible option and things would get much worse if he would do so. On top of that Roxy and Paul would die for sure, so...

Rudy mentioned specifically that he fells grief, not regret about Paul's passing, which is why he rushed back home to check on Sylphie.

You think Rudy doesn't regret that he lost focus during battle and his father died by saving him?

@Zarutaku I think that wasn't demonstrated at all in the anime. Either way, two people have confirmed it hasn't happened yet and will later on.

@Ankibank
I if he didn't go he would never find his mom and Roxy will die.
and if his father didn't give up he would die in the end.
that is not spoiler but I think it what will happen if he didn't.

The regret was his father dying.. however had he not gone he would’ve had other regrets (Roxy)

Good question, because the alternative of not going was that Roxy dies 100% and that has to be worse than Paul not dying, and I guess the mother is kind of a toss-up based on whether or not she recovers. The house seemingly being empty was definitely supposed to make you think this was the real regret, but since nothing happened it was either a lie or his actions will somehow lead to an unforeseen tragedy.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

@Yantama Then it might've been that the regret comes from him putting in the effort and the result would still be basically the same

Let's just say the author does not let plot threads as obvious as this go unaddressed and it is not going to be in a way that is predictable either. He may let you sit complacent believing Rudeus dodged a bullet only to have it smack you in the head several volumes down the line. Paul's death was telegraphed. I can assure you Rifufin no Maganote does not close plot threads that obviously. You may also regret believing it was poorly portrayed. See what I did there.

@FocusIssues Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, I don't think any scene in particular was poorly portrayed. I was saying IF it was supposed to be the regret, then it was poorly portrayed. I'm planning on reading the novel but I have a couple other things to get through first. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

i dont see his father dying as his regret, Rudeus never cared about his parents up till the last couple of episodes, he always cared about Roxy more than he cared about his parents
so imo it was just a lie to keep the viewver engaged, it worked for the most part

@Kingslee-Brigade It's literally the single most important plot point in the story so I won't spoil it. I just want to say that Rudy did not lose focus. It showed it subtly in the battle scene but it was easy to miss. Once there was one head left the hydra started swinging it's headless necks wildly. Because Rudy has no battle aura (another thing not explained in the anime, at least yet) he couldn't move with the speed necessary to evade the attack. The remaining head was the intelligent one and probably figured this out but could tell Rudy had an enormous amount of mana so he was going to focus on him.
