I just remembered from a post that back in Season 1 Roxy described her fantasy as that she'd be lost in the labyrinth and then get rescued by a handsome man in the last second. Since her fantasy was fulfilled she didn't get traumatized or anything like that. Man, she's weird.

The first thing Rudeus does after saving Roxy is sniff her... Of course, he does that. And he keeps acting weird with her. It's like when he was a child again.

I could immediately tell that Paul was talking about Rudeus having two wives when he was giving the sword analogy. It was blatantly obvious lol. This makes me wonder, did he not say anything about Sylphie or that he was becoming a dad to Roxy? Cause otherwise, she probably wouldn't propose exploring a labyrinth together as if it were a date. Ngl, I wouldn't mind watching that. Could be fun.

Enjoying the labyrinth arc so far. Wonder what the heck will happen next.

Really great episode this what all we been waiting for meeting Roxy again.
She was so adorable and you could already see that she has totally falling in love with the mc but as usually being dense.
I have a feeling Roxy would confessed to Rudy rather him notice her feeling.

Well parents huh " Seem like they maybe might be able to meet the mother on next episode " I hope she is all right.

@Akaseaka Yeah, I agree, it would have been pretty sick to see how she survived down their for a month with little to no food and water. rather than just explain that she went around the same track and through the same portal for a month straight before stating she didnt want to die. I will say that there was more emotion towards the end of the episode, but again, it felt rushed, we went through only 1 episode, but we found roxy, and during one episode she has fallen in love with Rudy, he didnt even do anything special, he just acted like his dumb self. idk, everything to me just feels so rushed by the author just so they could rap up loose story ends to finish it quicker.
@Itzbouncy rudy saved roxy dawg, she fell in love at the end of last ep and it ain't rushed at all what? this has been foreshadowed since s1 ep 13

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.
I completely agree with this. The episode barely depicted any emotions between Roxy and Rudy before Roxy invited Rudy to explore another labyrinth and Paul commented on his two swords.

From last week:
Akaseaka said:
Roxy had managed to survive for a month in the labyrinth, yet she was overwhelmed at the exact moment Rudeus reached her.
It would be way better if Roxy was trapped and didn't have a way out. She barely managed to survive in the labyrinth, but her strength is deteriorating and her hope of finding a viable way is dwindling. She could be desperate and hopeless but she could keep her grace and her name as a distinguished magician.
Ellifein said:
There is also a small chapter from her POV of struggling to survive for a month (which actually showcased how impressive she is cause its not an easy task) before he saved her. THO they will probably show her POV next episode, and if not i think someone will post it in one of those threads
Technically the happenings in both of these two quotes end up being the case, but what disappoints me is that this episode still fails to show how impressive Roxy was. How she fought in the labyrinth was largely skipped, and she was just drawing crosses on the wall and becoming increasingly pitiful in her POV.
@Akaseaka
Well her POV in episode shows general stuff without going into much details but in LN they didn't shown her prior battles as well.Basically what happened is she got teleported into monsters den and found out that there is one teleport cicle where monsters aren't coming from and went there.After that she tried mapping her way out trying different teleporters but the end destination was the same monster den where she tried to fight them again and ran away to the safe circle.What she noticed after a couple of tries is that monsters weren't stupid and started piling up monster corpses to block her escape route - that what she meant by "I feel like there won't be a next time". So her being imprressive was more about how hard she tried after reading how dire her situation was

An amazing episode. Roxy was the cutest in this episode, somehow more cuter than when she appeared for the first time. She's definitely in love with Rudy. I can feel it. But, Rudy has to tell her a lot of things.

The exploration is going strong and the face Paul made when Rudy asked him about his strength was the funniest thing. It was kinda cute. They're finally moving beyond the book now. Can't wait for the next episode.

You are missing the point of my message 😅 rushing as in what has happened already this season, compared to the first. 'plot' points are coming and going thick and fast this season. remember it took half a season in season 1 for rudy to travel with red head and baldy. now in 2 episodes, they have left the school, teleported, found dad, traversed the dungeon, found roxy instantly (who has been lost for a month) and roxy has fallen in love straight away. not to mention in the first 8 episode, marriage and pregnant. idk screams speeding up to me.

Roxy-sensei is finally back and she is as adorable as ever! Her crushing on Rudy makes her even more adorable if anything.

She really is best girl.

She has been down in that dungeon alone for an entire month?! Poor girl!
Though the shock she will experience once she finds out Rudy has a wife and kids on the way is probably greater..

Good thing the guy who created huge family drama by getting his maid pregnant tells Rudy that he needs a second wife lol.

I really love the small, unintense moments in this show, like Roxy and Rudy going shopping.

PS: Oh yeah also Rudy sniffing Roxy immediately, does he still have her panty shrine? I wonder if Sylphie found that now that he is gone

What a bs.. she survived for a month without food? they never shown spell "created food", well water she could make from ice magic or even water..
another stupid thing is he started sniffing her.. come on for real.. you got wife now.. is he retarded for real?.. I hoped this second season is gonna be good but not.. they didn;t even show again how he saved her! what a waste of screentime.. I hope at least last fight will be flashy..
the art quality is also very bad for 2024..
I started to like the OP more and more.. it is well done.. but I just dislike Rudeus and Sylphie.. even his father is better than him.. as a person..
and what was that about saying sorry ot sylphie? what he did the same? he puked on sylphie? wtf is this anime becoming?
Liked how Paul reacted when Rudy asked if he got stronger and also Elinalise reaction too, and they actually got her new sword it seems? it wasn't mentioned?

About Rudy x Roxy this is stupid but it was obvious.. and Paul comment about two swords for different things.. omg.. that world is sick... I knew Sylphie will be hurt that is why I disliked their marriage as the just don't pair good.. Rudy should be actually alone.. he doesn't deserve any of the three girls.. he is scum or crazy...
or maybe he should and will end up with Eris? she could keep him tethered.. he deserves a woman who would keep him nailed down..:D

Ngl, wasn’t a big fan of the labyrinth exploring stuff this episode, I feel like if they went more in depth with it and also had more of an interesting looking area I’d be more into it, I’m guessing the labyrinth itself isn’t very important compared to what’s to come so they’re focusing on delivering on that front instead of this one, but I do at least wish the location wasn’t so plain looking lol.

But what did slap this episode was the Roxy content, it feels a bit weird seeing so much of her when she’s been absent for so long but it also feels good to have her back. And we actually did get some of her POV before she was saved that I saw folks talking about last week, it was unfortunately very short but I guess it’s good it got shown somewhat, poor Rudeus couldn’t handle being unrecognized tho lol, that kind of thing happens when you haven’t seen someone for many years, it actually just happened to me and an old buddy yesterday lol. And as cute as the Roxy scenes are when she’s talking to Rudeus, I can’t help but feel bad because Rudeus is already taken and it’s clear she’s starting to like him, you also had her reaction to Nanahoshi being mentioned which is another teller. And yeah, I know what Paul’s sword talk meant lol, but I’m thinking that route isn’t possible for Rudeus, but you never know tho, maybe the Roxy and Sylphie wife combo is real lol.

People annoyed with polygamy here and in general in anime. Unlike most of other anime, I feel like it is done very tastefully and thoughtfully in MT. I mean it takes a long time to build up and it actually makes fking sense.

Now, people should remember, this is peace of fiction and fantasy. Don't bring your real life stuff here. It is important to make a distinction between what is real and what isn't.

Combination of him being a max-tier virgin (in soul, at least), and being completely smitten with his newlywed wife to the point that having others being attracted to him doesn't even register.

What a good episode, Roxy is back and yet, she seems to show a lot of interest in Rudeus, on the other hand, Paul's "analogy" referred to the fact that now he can't live without one of his 2 women and with this he was telling Rudeus, would there be no problem going after Roxy? ._.

The reunion between Roxy and Rudeus was sweet, although it was awkward at first since she didn't recognise him straight away, leading to Rudeus throwing up. Despite that little setback, their interactions between each other was incredibly sweet. =)

She even went as far as to ask Rudeus to go with her to a labyrinth together in the future, which he agreed to it. This, amongst other moments, does paint the picture of her falling for him. Sadly, Rudeus hasn't mentioned to her that he's already married and will be a father soon and it doesn't look like that'll be mentioned anytime yet.

In typical fashion, Paul uses his twin swords as an analogy for Rudeus to have more than one wife, as well as making that smug facial expression. You crafty bastard, Paul, but I like you for it! XD

The next episode is titled "Parents" and it comes out on father's day, ironically. It does make me worry a bit, but I hope that the team are one step closer to rescuing Zenith.

@Itzbouncy Interestingly, in 06:01 from S02E17 in the Norn arc, Rudy sat down around a table while talking to other people. He used earth magic and water magic simultaneously to generate a cup of water out of thin air and then directly drank the water from the cup. Apparently water shouldn't be a big problem for water magicians like Roxy but I've no idea about food.

@Ellifein That's pretty crazy. I can only imagine how frustratingly difficult it was to have monsters between Roxy and potential escape teleport circles, especially that Roxy had no idea which exact teleport circle could lead her out. I appreciate these details you provided!

Great episode, Rudeus finally reunites with Roxy and she didn't even recognize him due to how well he has grown, Rudy had to give her a good sniff ofcourse. Paul's analogy on 2 swords was good lol, he knew that his son is popular with the ladies and he noticed Roxy's feelings for Rudy early on. Meanwhile Rudy was so oblivious to Roxy falling for him, Paul grinning when Rudy complimented him was peak, such a dad moment for Paul.

Journeys in the labyrinth, and Rudeus was so happy to see Roxy again...

It was nice seeing Rudeus and Roxy's reunion, but it was certainly odd seeing Rudeus towering over Roxy in terms of height. No wonder she didn't recognize him at first. The character chemistry between the group members is building, and that's what this show excels at. It was more of a transition episode to get us reacquainted with what Roxy has been up to all this time, and it was a rather chill episode.

I'm really liking the focus on family bonds that this show has emphasized, and Paul, as awkward as he can be, he is still a cool father. Not the greatest role model, especially with the dual-wielding sword analogy, but still a good dad. However, all this is going a little too smoothly, so no doubt there'll be challenges ahead. The next episode is called "Parents", and it is coming on Father's Day as well. I imagine it'll be quite an impactful episode.

@Shadowx99 It's hard to take you seriously if things that you asked already mentioned in the episode you supposed to watch.

Number 2. 3. and 6 already mentioned in the episode if you didn't watch in 2x speed bro.

Number 3. and 4. watched previous episode in normal speed bro.

1. She's not helpless mage, but yeah the decision to omit how she survived not a very good decision

5. With the way you ask one would thought Rudy was a saint before.

Btw, no one need to convince you anything, AND their trauma is not even the same. Probably a better comparison is if you compare Roxy's situation to Rudy and Eris situation when they got teleported to Demon continent. Yup, and they ready back to go to dungeon also mentioned in this episode. Man, are you really watching this episode?

You need to remember this story takes place in a fantasy world wherein slavery and polygamy are the norm, and our real world standards don't apply. What Paul said to his son was appropriate under those conditions. It's really abhorrent from our perspective, yet completely nonexistent and irrelevant from theirs.
