Why do people say Rudeus is OP?

Rudeus is a lot stronger than the normal mage, but I don't think he's op.. If he went up against some of the monsters in the novel by himself, I think he would lose pretty quickly.

In the series, he pretty much can't beat most of the top 7 in a straight up 1v1.

Rudy is pretty well up there in the power tiers, but he is nowhere near the strongest in the series.

*any of the top 7 IIRC. And while it's not revealed - he'd likely lose to what, the top 100 strongest in a 1 v 1?

I think next episode even will reveal how high the power curve goes - depends on how they depict it.

Put the thing in the [ spoiler] [/ spoiler] tag to hide it (without the spaces)

Edit: And you deleted the spoiler part, oh well.

Rudeus is not OP !
Just from people around him / were introduces he loses vs : Ghyslaine , Paul , Roxy; and Sylphi is just as talented as him when it comes to magic since even his chantless "special" was nothing special after she learns to do it in just a few tries.

And he will meet many more people stronger than him during his journeys .

CreativeMinds said:


No, he is definitely considered OP, both during childhood and adult stages.

[spoiler/] His mana capacity places himself as pretty much one of the strongest mages in the world, and there aren’t really any monsters capable of beating him as an adult. Of course, as a child, if monsters were to attack him out of nowhere, he might lose, but in a straight and direct fight, he would still win most of the times. [spoiler]

Monsters are a joke in this series minus Dragon Kings. Even if we do talk about a Dragon King

The real enemies are fellow humans, demon race folk, dragon race, etc. Aka humanoids.

In that regard, there are people who have much more talent and can use higher tier magic than Rudeus can.

When it comes to pure fighting capability, Rudy would get his ass handed to him by the top 7 and many others.

But magic in general is weak in 1v1/small scale battles in this series.

That's why most of the strongest are warriors/swordsmen. Put all the special sword categories (such as the demon/god swords and the Dragon King Sword), most magicians have a huge disadvantage compared to their counterparts.

Rudy def has but his talent overall isn't as spectacular as people like

But this series, Rudy is all about teamwork and fighting to each character's strength instead of going 1v1 like other isekai. 1v1s are not his forte.

CreativeMinds said:


yes, while I do agree, many people can use higher tiers of magic. however, against those people, rudeus would most likely win due to the fact he has a larger mana pool.



now about direct 1v1
.

although, I feel like rudeus would have a lot more potential if he was capable of equipping touki

Against other pure magic only using magicians minus a few, probably can defeat in a 1v1 thanks to his arsenal

What you said regarding the magic is true but it's time he doesn't have or use sadly.

He does say that he regrets not trying to become stronger when he is older.

Also regarding that, it was like a gangbang with Rudy and Co and even then, his

Another problem is that Rudy doesn't have the speed to match the likes of other swordsmen like the . And they hold swords that can pierce through most defense. Even the one he "beat" in a 1v1 after chopping off the guy's hand and breaking one of his legs in like a 5v1 skirmish could easily beat him if they fought on equal terms .

Him not being able to use touki or even better is pretty much a huge disadvantage, that's why he works out everyday so he can at least be physically fit during fights.

Rudy is like a pure magician while the rest are either pure physical or a mix of the two. That alone puts him in a less desirable spot in a 1v1 or small scale battle with equal numbers.
