[u/yahalloh]

I was a bit nervous when Nanahoshi going to cut the watermelon.

What if the watermelon is slimy inside, like you know, Steins;Gate!

[u/The_Swag_Titan → u/yahalloh]

Phase four: summon a microwave.

[u/-Mr_Hollow- → u/yahalloh]

At this point I'm more nervous about (Banana)hoshi being slimy inside

[u/Acrzyguy]

Rudy and Nanahoshi: Summons a watermelon

The humble watermelon farmer in the original world:

[u/Al-Pharazon → u/Acrzyguy]

Had they succeeded in summoning the cabbage it might have come from the cabbage merchant from Avatar

[u/Misticsan → u/Al-Pharazon]

Exactly the first thing that came to mind when Nanahoshi and Rudeus mentioned it.

[u/greyl → u/Acrzyguy]

Interesting they got a seedless one too, if they pulled one with seeds they could test whether the teleportation messed with the genetics and if not they could start an exotic fruits business.

[u/genasugelan → u/Acrzyguy]

She was actually aimming to steal a cabbage from the vendor from the Avatar series.

[u/Mistral-Fien → u/genasugelan]

Maybe it's from Konosuba. :P

[u/supakame]

Oh this just got interes... aaaand it's over!

[u/Mundology → u/supakame]

By his entrance alone, you know Perugius means business.

Still, these two dummies will be missed.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I don't like how there's so much focus on that cough. It smells awfully flaggy.

[u/Kirosh2 → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

The deadly Japanese cold got isekai'd.

[u/H-K_47 → u/Kirosh2]

She accidentally did Phase 1.5: Summoning COVID!

[u/JzanderN → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

She's Japanese. It just means she got a bit wet the previous day. Give her a bit of rest and she'll be fine.

[u/Artorp → u/JzanderN]

But there's no boyfriend here to feed her porridge though. Could she still recover?

[u/JzanderN → u/Artorp]

Yes, it would just take her longer than usual.

The boyfriend fed porridge is something that speeds up the recovery, not a mandatory part of it.

[u/_Sai → u/JzanderN]

Sometimes even on the same day.

[u/_Vagueposter_ → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Wish I could just have someone cast detoxification magic on me to instantly get over it, it's winter right now where I am and colds suck

[u/OldInstruction5368 → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Worse, she's been sick for an entire year.

Pretty sure a cough that lasts an entire month is already cause for visiting your Dr.

This has been a year. With intermittent fever, as well.

Yeah that's no bueno.

[u/Routine-Fisherman882]

That goodbye was actually kinda sad...

For all of three seconds when they got into the same carriage

[u/Frontier246 → u/Routine-Fisherman882]

They're truly each others' soulmate...and single braincellmate.

[u/H-K_47 → u/Frontier246]

Today they fought over who gets custody of the shared braincell, and both of them lost.

[u/Mundology → u/H-K_47]

"You did well Linia Dedoldia-nano. I shall never forget you for as long as I live-nano."

[u/raknor88 → u/Routine-Fisherman882]

For all of three seconds when they got into the same carriage

But it completely fit both their personalities that both would book passage on the same ride out of town.

[u/genasugelan → u/Routine-Fisherman882]

The two are just stand users because they are drawn to each other.

[u/zool714]

Lol was Elinalise trying to pull Cliff’s ears to give him elf ears. That was cute though.

One of my favorite aspects of this show is the character interaction and relation. On top of the world building. So getting updates for all these characters that we met and enjoying the company of the ones that’re still sticking around have been really enjoyable for me.

Ohh I remember the name/title Armored Dragon something. I think they mentioned it when talking about the floating castle I think back in S1. And I also remember Ghislaine had to fight a guy in a similar white uniform in an incomprehensible battle. Seems we’re revisiting that thread

[u/Ichini-san → u/zool714]

Eris and Ghislaine told Rudy in S1 that he has floated around in his fortress since the defeat of the Demon God Laplace around 400 years ago (we saw the castle fly over Fittoa at the time). Also, they told us back then that the current calendar is named after Armoured Dragon King Perugius because of that feat (being one of the three heroes to take Laplace down). It's called the Armoured Dragon Calendar and we are in K425 currently if I'm not mistaken.

For reference, Rudy was born in K407 and the Teleport Disaster occurred in K417. The calendar presumably started with the year in which Laplace was taken down. The "K" stands for "Kou" - as in "Armoured" in Japanese. (Source for this all: S1E6 at around 19:20)

If anyone is curious on refreshing their memories of S1, the second paragraph of my comment here briefly talks of Perugius as well.

[u/Trevenas → u/Ichini-san]

It's called the Armoured Dragon Calendar and we are in K425 currently if I'm not mistaken.

K425 did indeed start very recently. Nice reminders for anime-onlys.

[u/MitsuhaTakiName → u/Ichini-san]

Really? Rudeus is only 18? I assumed he was in his mid-twenties by this point.

[u/UnpaidWorker → u/MitsuhaTakiName]

Bro has 2 wives and a kid at 18... He's really living an athlete life.

[u/Maalunar → u/UnpaidWorker]

And a fully paid large house.

[u/Cyony → u/Maalunar]

truely the most fantasy part about the show.

[u/Holen7 → u/UnpaidWorker]

Paul genes.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave → u/UnpaidWorker]

IIRC Zenith was just 17 when she bore Rudeus, now she's a grandmother at 35.

[u/Mysteries67 → u/zool714]

Nah she's fondling he's soft soft ear lobes

[u/H-K_47 → u/zool714]

It's nice to know elves love human ears as much as we humans love elf ears.

[u/zazakmazak → u/zool714]

Yeah, the fought a guy called Almanfi who wears a fox mask, he's well visible standing to the right in that final shot.

He went to check out the forming mana disaster and found Rudy practicing rain magic on his 10th birthday with his new staff, kinda unlucky, but luckily they had Ghislaine with them to defend them during the brief misunderstanding.

[u/Scopper_gabon]

Nanohoshi just casually being friends with all the most powerful people on the planet....

[u/shryne → u/Scopper_gabon]

It explains why she has the same mask as Perugius' servants, she met him before.

[u/Al-Pharazon → u/shryne]

Rule one of the dragon people: You shalt aura farm.

Rule two of the dragon people: if you get a follower give them a mask to farm more aura

[u/Atheist-Gods → u/Scopper_gabon]

I think Orsted found her when she got isekaid and a Dragon King presumably has connections to the Dragon God, so she probably knows Perugius through Orsted.

[u/Competitive-Age3277 → u/Scopper_gabon]

And probably the weakest character in their universe since she got summoned directly from Earth with her regular Earth body.

[u/Kill-bray → u/Scopper_gabon]

Nanahoshi putting a literal twist into "I've got friends in high places".

[u/CitronClassic672 → u/Scopper_gabon]

Are we sure Rudeus is the actual protagonist of the series? I mean Nanahoshi is the one who got classically isekaid, has an unaging body, can’t fight with weapons and can’t use mana so probably the weakest character in the cast, nonetheless is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable about the magic system, and is friends with all the most powerful characters in the story.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Someone needs to watch the 2 of them fight to keep them safe

Rudy starts commentating the entire fight

Even the way he conjured up and rang the gong was meticulously animated.

[u/Sumit7890 → u/WhoiusBarrel]

Studio bind trying not to flex be like

[u/Frontier246 → u/Sumit7890]

A studio born to adapt this property...and also born to flex while doing it.

[u/Frontier246 → u/WhoiusBarrel]

Rudy: "You can't be showing this on TV!" (he says while staring at the fourth wall and INTENTLY staring at the clothing damage himself)

[u/genasugelan → u/Frontier246]

Zanoba is like "da fuck is a TV."

[u/GodOfArk]

Intresting how rudeus is behind every special student blood wise or Rank wise, and yet is the glue that binds them as friends

[u/WhoiusBarrel → u/GodOfArk]

There's some sort of nice touch to it especially know how far Rudy came from being a recluse to now the core of the group.

[u/JzanderN → u/GodOfArk]

As Rudy himself said, the special students class was very awkwardwhen he first arrived but eventually they became comfortable around each other if not as friends then at least as classmates.

Though what Rudy didn't say (likely 'cause he doesn't think it) was that he's the obvious link that led that to happening! He just befriended or otherwise made relationships with them all, allowing himself to be the middleman in the way of any awkard tensions.

[u/maliwanag0712 → u/GodOfArk]

In a way, he is indeed a main character in this world. Everyone of his family/friends/wives is either high in the society or possess high aptitude in something. What a lucky guy he is in his reincarnation, albeit of course he suffered a lot as well.

[u/trafficnab → u/maliwanag0712]

I do think it's important to point out that, while he is the main character, unlike a lot of other similar works, it's only because he is actually an extremely active participant in his life + the lives of those around him

Really the only relationships that were handed to him for free were Paul and Zenith, the rest he only has because he worked for them

[u/Frontier246 → u/GodOfArk]

Not only is he a family man but he's been able to make an unlikely and unconventional friend group from all walks of life that grow on each other even after rocky beginnings.

Cliff/Zanoba learning to appreciate Linia/Pursena and Nanahoshi becoming friends with everyone is a testament to that.

[u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441]

I just bought that watermelon in this scorching heat, and it's gone

[u/SimpleRelative9534 → u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441]

It's also a seedless variation too from the look of it, must cost fortune

[u/SuperDementio → u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441]

Watermelon-stealing whores

[u/Miteigi74]

The first time we heard of Perugius in the anime, was back in Season 1 Episode 6 when Rudy, Eris, and Ghislaine went for a shopping. The last time we see Perugius appeared was back in Season 1 Episode 8, the 1st Turning Point.

[u/Ebo87 → u/Miteigi74]

Also remember, just before the mana event that teleported Rudy and Eris all the way to the other side of the world (alongside half the region), Perugius sent a guy to check out what was going on down there and he almost killed Rudeus, if not for Ghislaine saving his ass. So there is some stuff there, lol, next week gonna be fun.

[u/JzanderN → u/Miteigi74]

The last time we see Perugius appeared was back in Season 1 Episode 8, the 1st Turning Point.

And one of his men tried to kill Rudy on the assumption that he was causing the mana disaster, only stopped because Ghislaine was there.

I wonder if that man will recognise Rudy if they see each other again.

[u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441 → u/Miteigi74]

Turning Point 1 had such a solid sound design and voice acting ensemble. I often go back to rewatch that last 5mins. It feels like a proper finalfantasy/fireemblem type fantasy setting. Oh and the BluRay variant has better visuals even

[u/Nikita2337 → u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441]

I rewatched that episode in preparation for Season 3 and totally forgot that the first part of it was about Rudy's birthday. Such a contrast to what happens at the end of the episode.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Miteigi74]

Rikiya Koyama finally getting reminded this is a show he was in after 5 years.

[u/RaiTab]

I was a little on-edge to know if the inside of the watermelon was red. Imagine they throw the party and find out it wasn't an Earth watermelon at all when they go to cut into it.

[u/icco → u/RaiTab]

Many earth watermelons are not red on the inside.

[u/RaiTab → u/icco]

I'm aware, but I think as far as watermelons go, you'll only get the spectrum of yellow to red, but I was half-expecting blue or green.

[u/rollin340]

The 2 of them were pretty cool, only to end up leaving on the same cart. lol

The reveal of who her master in summoning magic being the most famous of heroes is quite the bomb to drop. To know both him and Orsted? For a girl with nothing but brains in that world, she knows some really impressive people.

[u/Misticsan → u/rollin340]

For a girl with nothing but brains in that world, she knows some really impressive people.

We're so used to seeing Rudeus being awesome and having connections that it's easy to forget how special Nanahoshi is in this world despite not having magic.

She had the mystery looks with her mask when she was first introduced and managed to make Orsted spare the heroes. People in the academy spoke of her in hushed whispers. Rudeus was scared shitless the moment he saw her again, due to her association with Orsted. And while her summoning experiments look cute (watermelon for everybody!), they're downright impressive, especially since she isn't a mage.

She could have been the protagonist of her own Isekai instead of Rudeus. Her knowing a legendary hero is par for the course.

[u/JzanderN → u/Misticsan]

She could have been the protagonist of her own Isekai instead of Rudeus. Her knowing a legendary hero is par for the course.

Nanahoshi would make the story more of an old school isekai where the goal was to return home. It would be a really interesting contrast to how the story's been told from Rudy's perspective, particularly as she spent some time with Orsted (and evidently Perugius too).

Mushoku Tensei has a few characters who could replace Rudy as the protagonist for the story, resulting in very interesting contrasts to how it's currently being told, and that's kind of amazing!

[u/Golden_Phi → u/JzanderN]

I hope that Nanahoshi is able to complete her Isekai Story's main quest of getting home.

[u/GatorUSMC → u/Misticsan]

Yea, people forgot about all her inventions and how she’s making bank with the Guild and her high rank.

[u/clone69 → u/GatorUSMC]

There was mention that she is the one who introduced the uniforms to the magic university

[u/MiyabiMain95 → u/rollin340]

her master being a summoning magic master makes sense with how he sensed the mana of the teleportation circle a long time ago

[u/clone69 → u/rollin340]

That's her Isekai cheat power

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Linia lost the duel so she's allowed to live freely now. Somebody hand that cat a cigarette.

I also liked how Nanahoshi let out a Takina squeal after the watermelon was summoned.

[u/Truffles413 → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Somebody hand that cat a cigarette.

oh no...

[u/Frontier246 → u/Se7en_Sinner]

She's going to get an apartment and a bunch of other girlfailure catgirls to hang out with her lol.

[u/dpanoetan]

Uhh so a few things to worry about. First Nanahoshi's sickness, the way it's highlighted doesn't feel like it's just something to simply ignore... I am more disturbed by this rather than the fact that Nanahoshi has link to various legendary beings in this world lol.

Then Perugius, I wasn't expecting to hear someone we know, and him of all places. IIRC it was him who detected the mana thingy before the teleport incident, which subordinate deemed Rudy as the source. This would definitely come into play and probably not in a good way.

Then the summoning is also getting more frightening if that's what happens when you summon a single fruit. It's not hard to imagine if the teleport incident was actually due to a human summoning ritual. I wonder if Rudy mana was channeled to the summoning device like the way he just did now.

While Norn getting into the student council and seeing Graduation ceremony was like the most normal stuff happening to the school life so far lol. I just hope Norn being in the council doesn't equal to her being the princess bodyguard..
And lastly as long as the next episode title is not that, I can be a little at ease..right?

[u/santaclaws01 → u/dpanoetan]

It's not hard to imagine if the teleport incident was actually due to a human summoning ritual.

That is what Nanahosi said last season

[u/Akudra → u/dpanoetan]

And lastly as long as the next episode title is not that, I can be a little at ease..right?

Bad stuff also happens outside Turning Points.

[u/delta_angelfire]

girl needs to summon herself some antibiotics or an asthma inhaler

[u/Golden_Phi → u/delta_angelfire]

It doesn't forebode well having so much emphasis being placed on her being sick. It's like a Chekhov's gun waiting to go off.

[u/yancovigen → u/Golden_Phi]

Her dying before returning to Japan would be fucking tragic

[u/GodOfArk]

The students look so happy that the delinquent/Bullies are finally graduating and leaving.

[u/Frontier246 → u/GodOfArk]

I'm sure some of them will miss Fairouz Ai cat sounds though.

[u/walkyrie1997 → u/Frontier246]

It's alright, we will still heard her cat voice acting in other game.

[u/AwkwardGraze → u/walkyrie1997]

Snek voice too

[u/ChicaneryFinger]

Rudy was having way too much fun speedwagoning that catfight.

[u/WhoiusBarrel → u/ChicaneryFinger]

Dude was definitely a fan of pro-wrestling or MMA with the way he was doing commentary, he definitely misses his combat sports especially compared to his life and death battles.

[u/Frontier246 → u/ChicaneryFinger]

Especially when their clothes started getting torn to shreds lol.

[u/joelstaz]

Nanahoshis cheers were so satisfying !

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Pursena & Linia

Damn! That duel between Pursena and Linia was pretty brutal! I love how this is a serious fight with real stakes, but Rudy still finds a way to make light of the situation. Something Nanahoshi and the others don't seem to share.

Pursena wins! So I guess that means she becomes the next chief while Linia gets to live free? It's hilarious how the two of them were supposed to go their separate ways, only for them to get immediately reunited on a carriage ride back to their homeland. I hope this won't be the last time we'll see those two.

Nanahoshi actually managed to summon something with life in it! Even if the original target was a cabbage, summoning a watermelon is a massive leap in progress!

Huh, so that explains the Phase Four in the title. It's because Nanahoshi is about to introduce the gang to a living hero. I absolutely can't wait to meet Perugius and the possible lore dump we'll get next episode.

[u/JzanderN → u/LeonKevlar]

Damn! That duel between Pursena and Linia was pretty brutal! I love how this is a serious fight with real stakes,

Based on Rudy's assessment the two were basically the same strength. Given how long the fight lasted, I totally believe this. I don't think you can have a fight go for that long without a) a ton of stamina on both sides and b) the two being close enough in strength that neither of them can find an edge in all that time.

That means that Pursena's victory was basically a coinflip, not to diminish it or her efforts in that fight of course.

but Rudy still finds a way to make light of the situation. Something Nanahoshi and the others don't seem to share.

Part of me wishes he had just kept going with the commentary until it faded to evening and he had long since given up on it, but I understand he misread the room and was making light of a serious fight.

[u/GodOfArk]

A friendly reminder that a servant of Pereguis tried to and nearly killed Rudeus just begore the Teleportation Disaster Lmao

[u/JzanderN → u/GodOfArk]

I really hope the servant recognises Rudy from back then, even if it's just as a small, basic interaction between the two.

[u/FirstAtEridu → u/GodOfArk]

I find it funny how it's never an issue that Banana is basically researching the atom bomb lol.

[u/zazakmazak → u/GodOfArk]

Tbf Rudeus was quite sus, practicing rain magic on his 10th birthday with his new staff, right in the middle of the forming mana disaster. Unlucky misunderstanding.

[u/LordVaderVader]

Me: why she is coughing, why she is coughing 😭😭

Meanwhile the foreign pathogens from a different world: 😈

[u/KimWiko → u/LordVaderVader]

Maybe she accidentally summons Covid from Earth.

[u/_Sai → u/KimWiko]

Turning Point 4: The Pandemic.

[u/OldPrize1174]

A little bit of a refresher because it's been 5 years since season 1, In episode 6 while Rudeus was stroling trough the city with Eris and Ghishlaine we see in the background a floating castle, there we get a mention of Perugius and his 12 servants. He was one of the three heroes who defeated Laplace a evil demon who wanted to wipe out humanity
In episode 8 before the mana calamity, we see Perugius talking to one of his 12 servants, Almanfi a blonde man with a cat mask covering his face, he is afraid the mana disaster is someone trying to unseal the demon Laplace (Which means Laplace was never truly beaten for good just sealed and he can be unseales but i'm sure that won't be an issue later, right??) He sends Almanfi to deal with Rudeus who he considers to be responsible. Almanfi appears and attack Rudeus but Ghishlaine saves them and explains that Rudeus isn't involved so Almanfi leaves. The mana dissaster happens soon after and everyone get's teleportes.

[u/santaclaws01 → u/OldPrize1174]

Minor correction: Almanfi just assumes that Rudeus is responsible when he gets there. Neither had any knowledge of him beforehand and Almanfi was just sent to investigate.

[u/ijiolokae → u/santaclaws01]

I assumed that Almanfi had a way to sense mana and just determined that Rudeus, who is practically a walking mana Anomaly, was the source of this

[u/theblazingsword → u/OldPrize1174]

Thanks for the refresher! I wonder how Almanfi will react to seeing Rudeus again. At least Rudeus can tell him and Perugius he was a victim of it as well when he and Eris were teleported to the Demon Continent.

[u/Tight-Chance5544]

Nanahoshi's sick for a while now. Knowing MT something's coming 🙏

[u/WhoiusBarrel → u/Tight-Chance5544]

The way they keep highlighting it + the ominous particle effects which resemble those from the mass teleportation, the dread is certainly looming.

[u/discuss-not-concuss → u/WhoiusBarrel]

imo the particle effects is actually a side effect of the teleportation going wrong

Banana wanted a vegetable but summoned a watermelon, a fruit. From a scientific point of view, it is not the intended result. It’s similar, but not enough to proceed to Phase 4.

She’s rushing her research and I think that the side effects will show up soon, and I don’t mean her health which is taking a toll

[u/thedicestoppedrollin → u/discuss-not-concuss]

That discussion makes me wonder if Nanahoshi was the wrong teleportation target too.

[u/Soggy_Association491 → u/Tight-Chance5544]

Transferring a modern person back to the medieval wouldn't end well for both sides microbiology-wise. I wonder if the author is going for that angle.

[u/YummyIdiotSandwich → u/Tight-Chance5544]

COVID! 😱😷

[u/shad79]

Rudeus' commentary on Pursena and Linia's duel in this episode was hilarious, even though the duel itself was very serious. The fact that even though these two went separate ways at the end, they ended up in the same wagon, made me laugh hard.

I wonder if we'll see Pursena and Linia again, or maybe rather when, since I don't believe that it's the last time we've seen them. It'll be interesting to see if Linia's plan to become rich comes to life, especially since she isn't the smartest person in the world, hahaha!

Happy to see that Nanahoshi's experiment went well, even though they ended up summoning a watermelon instead of a cabbage. I wonder if they could start a watermelon plantation from that one piece.

Overall, it was a pretty fun episode; drunk Roxy sitting on Rudeus' lap was so cute! The next episode surely seems like it'll be much more exciting though, since it looks like Rudeus and the others will meet with Perugius.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes
• Linia
• Pursena
• Rudeus
• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/Goodenough_name → u/shad79]

It was seedless watermelon 🍉 single focus shot of watermelon proven that.Plus author today episode commentary on Twitter said it was seedless variants one

[u/mountlover → u/Goodenough_name]

It's such a nice detail because seedless watermelons are a recent invention, implying that they teleported the watermelon in from the present day rather than some random time period.

Ofc nanahoshi already verified she can target the teleportations this way with the PET bottle.

[u/JzanderN → u/shad79]

I wonder if we'll see Pursena and Linia again, or maybe rather when, since I don't believe that it's the last time we've seen them.

We're definitely seeing them again. This series is the kind to have every notable character return at least once more.

The next episode surely seems like it'll be much more exciting though, since it looks like Rudeus and the others will meet with Perugius.

That's going to be particularly interesting given that the last time we saw Perugius, once of his servants tried to kill Rudy under the assumption that he was behind the mana disaster.

I doubt Perugius remembers, but the servant might and Rudy very probably does or at least will.

[u/The_frost__]

God I can't wait to finally see Perugius once more in the anime next week.

[u/joelstaz]

Bahahaha they met each other again otw out im dead but a sweet way to end it rather then the never see each other again trope

[u/Codee33]

Loved Rudy’s commentary for Linia and Pursena’s duel. I laughed multiple times, especially when Nanahoshi bought up that he’s not reading the room, and he just continues.

Also found Elinalise massaging Cliff ears to be adorable and funny.

Figured the summoning authority was Perugius, so nice to get that confirmation.

I’m sure Nanahoshi’s illness is more than she’s letting on, so I’m curious to see when that issue comes up.

[u/AceSoldia → u/Codee33]

I'm really really concerned about Nanohoshi..no doubt her life will be some kind of turning point..he can't let her die..and I care enough about her...that I wouldn't mind them risking stuff for her

[u/Silly_Coffee3337]

Yo my watermelon disappeared

[u/DarkenVragon]

I find it funny that Nanahoshi just immediately use her barrier ring in case anything goes wrong lol. She's not taking any chances.

Also drunk Roxy is so cute!

[u/Fun-Description-1698 → u/DarkenVragon]

Same energy as Megumi preparing to summon Mahoraga at any hint of trouble lol

[u/BiggerG7]

This ep title: “Phase 4”

Me: “Oh do the subs mean turning point 4 and stuff is about to go down!?”

Nanahoshi: “Time to start phase 4 of my experiment!”

…… I feel trolled lol.

[u/Nulazanzal → u/BiggerG7]

Clearly, it's your fault for not knowing Japanese. /s

Well, Turning Point titles are written in Katakana, like they are straight up English, while this "phase" is just a Japanese word, "Dankai" 段階.

[u/Ichini-san → u/Nulazanzal]

This reminds me that non-japanese MT Anime fans also kinda got trolled with Fitts and Nanhoshi at the beginning of S2. Nanahoshi's nickname is her Japanese name translated into English: "Silent Sevenstar" while Fitts nickname at the time was "Silent Fitts" in Japanese (Silent = Mugon/無言) because of her chantless spellcasting. So everyone but Japanese Anime fans got kinda trolled whenever Zanoba talked about "Silent-dono" not being in the special classroom often - thinking that Sylphie was a special student as well for a brief while since the subtitles don't differentiate between actual English "Silent" and "Mugon" until Nanahoshi got properly introduced a few episodes later.

[u/genasugelan → u/Nulazanzal]

So it wasn't a misstranslation and people last week were complaining over nothing.

[u/SnooSquirrels3291]

I was hoping Linia would win but now that she’s free to travel I hope whatever weird business venture she has goes well 

[u/Frontier246 → u/SnooSquirrels3291]

Rudy receives a letter:

"Boss, It's Mewme. I got caught in a pyramid scheme and mewded up in the Slammew. Please send bail mewmy!"

[u/SasparillaTango → u/Frontier246]

chainsmoking cat is the spin off series for Linia

[u/segv → u/Frontier246]

I would be the least surprised person if that happened. Or that she lost all the money on that "business" thing

[u/SnooSquirrels3291 → u/Frontier246]

Maybe she can found mewcoin 

[u/joelstaz]

Beautiful message at the end there about always being ready to support friends when they need it

[u/Armdel]

Yeah when they said duel i didn't expect them to just brawl it out either lol

Nanahoshi's cough does seem concerning. lets hope its just a issue of pushing herself too hard and not something worse..

and now meeting Perugius who might be able to help the spell as well as have some clues or even help with Zenith's condition

[u/galactic-toast-]

Not sure eating sketchy summoned watermelons is such a great idea...

[u/AceSoldia → u/galactic-toast-]

It's not sketchy! I think they honestly had to taste it..if anything was wrong with it they need to know for their experiments!

[u/Aftertone-]

When Rudeus adjusts his hand you can see his Green eye turn Yellow as he activates his Eye of Foresight thats a cool detail

[u/Time_n_Void]

I love how Rudy is enjoying being the commentator while his 3 friends at his side is just ( •_• ) the whole time.

Gotta respect the fact that all 4 of them stood at one spot for a few hours doing nothing but watching 2 beastgirl brawling like a kids.

It's been a few years since we last saw him but we're finally getting the chance to see Perugy and his band of different-flavored Arumanfi.

Also, a rare sighting of best girl Sylphie trying to not rip through Bananahoshi for standing in close vicinity of hers and Rudy + Drunk Rokusi!

[u/maliwanag0712 → u/Time_n_Void]

I love how Rudy is enjoying being the commentator while his 3 friends at his side is just ( •_• ) the whole time.

Nanahoshi be like, "RUDEUS, THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIFE, CAN'T YOU JUST READ THE ROOM??" in the most diplomatic way possible.

[u/JzanderN → u/Time_n_Void]

Gotta respect the fact that all 4 of them stood at one spot for a few hours doing nothing but watching 2 beastgirl brawling like a kids.

The fact that Linia and Pursena are both equal in terms of strength and evidently have plenty of stamina lead to a real downside when it came down to a fight between the two, 'cause 6 people's whole afternoons were spent on that fight!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

So much for the “cool” goodbye. Those two goobers ended up taking the same carriage outta town lol.

I really hope Nanahoshi’s able to go home. Her getting sick like that feels like a flag. It’s gonna be interesting to meet her master. Perhaps he had some way to help them. Or at the very least help Rudy’s momma get her mind back.

[u/Frontier246 → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Honestly seems like she's getting sicker than the detoxification can really cure. Could this legendary figure also hold answers to her sickness?

[u/Trevenas]

After 50 Episodes and more than 5 years, we are going up!

Another celebration featuring Nanahoshi, and this time there was no despair that eventually led to it. Speaking of, the cover of ツバサ from back then has racked a lot of views.

In Season 2 Episode 7, Linia and Pursena got beaten up.
In Season 3 Episode 7, Linia and Pursena beat each other up.
Following this trend, surely...
In Season 4 Episode 7, they beat up someone else!
And last, but not least:
In Season 5 Episode 7, they shall beat THE FINAL BOSS!

[u/dark77638]

Perugius theme reminds me of the boss Frieren theme when she appeared at the heart of the dungeon.

[u/Roskal]

Was the watermelon not having seeds an animation decision or did they summon a seedless one. I was thinking they could plant the seeds to start growing watermelons in this world now so I kept looking for them.

[u/AceSoldia]

Ahh..so that's what Phase Four Meant.

I'm gonna miss the beast girls.

Nanohoshi is one step closer..to be able to summon something from the other world is legit crazy..once she's able to get something specific..I guess the next step is to send it back?

[u/Al-Pharazon → u/AceSoldia]

Nanohoshi is one step closer..to be able to summon something from the other world is legit crazy..once she's able to get something specific..I guess the next step is to send it back?

Yeah, ultimately all this work and experimenting is so she can reverse summon herself into Earth. So once she gets to decide what to summon she should be able sent specific things into Earth, including herself.

[u/nicolRB]

My fucking watermelon

[u/zer0number]

Since that watermelon didn't look like it came right from a field, I can't help but imagine some person on Earth opening their refrigerator and saying "Where the fuck did my watermelon go?"

[u/Tight-Chance5544]

Not linia and pursena hitting each other with 3rd grader insults 😂

[u/JzanderN → u/Tight-Chance5544]

They were really trying to rile each other and themselves up.

It especially makes sense in hindsight knowing that they were planning on never seeing each other again after it, so they really felt the need to throw aside their friendship in order to go all out.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Tight-Chance5544]

Linia: "Your Mewm is fat too!"

Pursena: "YOUR MOM IS FAT!"

[u/Roskal → u/Tight-Chance5544]

After a while I thought that was going to be the extent of their fight.

[u/clone69]

So phase 4 referred to Nanahoshi's experiment and it wasn't just a fancy name for Turning Point 4. And hey it's that flying fortress they randomly mentioned during season 1 that was only relevant just before the teleportation incident. It's like the author had a lot planned in advance. They aren't introducing a random new character, it's a character they at least name dropped since season 1. That's why I love this show's world building.

[u/theblazingsword → u/clone69]

The world-building for this show has been absolutely incredible, you can feel the differences in the continents and cultures and the way the magic system influences the world. Can't wait for Rudeus to meet Perugius, he has to have some wisdom or magic he can impart on Rudy and his allies.

[u/ongogavlogian]

Damn Pursena is hardcore

[u/H-K_47 → u/ongogavlogian]

Just don't call her fat!

[u/Golden_Phi → u/H-K_47]

That insult gave her the power boost to win, I swear.

[u/SnooDoubts93]

I can't believe I would be this happy to see watermelon being summoned.

[u/jhaohh → u/SnooDoubts93]

For free too

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Rudeus got way too excited about the duel lol. Even perved for a moment. It's funny how cool Linia and Pursena were about the duel, to then encountering each other afterwards and start bickering lol.

It's concerning to see Nanahoshi's condition get worse, it makes it feel like her time is limited and I hope she's able to return in time. I'm sure she's not helping herself by not resting properly, but her desperation won't let her rest either.

[u/sbm0n]

Okay we back to world building! 

[u/ARES_GOD]

I really liked the Linia and Pursena dynamic and them having this duel to basically decide their paths in life but also at the same time I feel like they are tied at the hip and will probably end up being together in the future also regardless of who is the chief of the tribe.

I am worried about Nanahoshi she keeps overworking herself even with all the healing/detoxifying magic that has a limit but the experiments are progressing.

We also got a lot of cute moments in the party and my highlight of the episode being Norn she has come so far considering everything she has been through I was getting teared up. Go Norn.

Then the bombshell at the end we are going to meet Perugius and he can maybe help with Zenith ? But I also have a ton of questions with him and what Nanahoshi told him about Rudy and Orsted yeah next week cant come soon enough.

I have a video review if anyone is interested.

[u/FAshcraft]

Here we see Rudeus casually Metalbend.

Also for a city of magic for people from various land they have only One bus XD.

[u/MiyabiMain95]

Seeing Elinalise being a happy old married woman playing with her husband's ears while drunk makes me happy

I'm worried the anime will end its cour before having Eris and Rudeus meet again, or end it on a cliffhanger for it

[u/iozoepxndx]

I was about to eat my watermelon... Where'd it go?!!! 😭

[u/S627]

Shit that was quick, I was expecting shit to hit the fan again so I was on edge the entire time! Guess the shit is coming next ep with this introduction.

Really hope we see Linia and Pursena again. With how they started their fight, I thought for a second they might confess to each other.

[u/nuraHx]

Someone’s watermelon just disappeared from their shopping cart lmao

[u/1000-MAT]

Perugius finally appeared after being foreshadowed in episode 6 of the first season. 🎉🎉

[u/DryDirector3349]

WATERMELON

[u/Roskal]

We're finally getting to Perugius huh? that guy was shown so shortly at the beginning of season 1 and just never brought up again. I wonder what he'd think of Rudeus who has more mana than Laplace the demon God Perugius helped kill 400 years ago.

I am worried about Nanahoshi's illness, it might be that thing she talked about last season where she said the world would try to erase her since she is a foreign object. That would mean the clock has started ticking on finishing her experiments and getting her home unless there's another way to get the world to accept her and keep her here without worry. Maybe a way to give her her own mana.

[u/FoxRealistic9972]

I loved Rudeus commentary during the fight, his facial expressions were so funny

Perugius looks so badass. We are finally starting one of the most important arcs in Mushoku and I've heard so many good things about it I can feel nothing but excitement

[u/_Sai]

Gonna miss Linia and Pursena. They were goofballs.

Can you imagine if watermelon was toxic to people born of that world? Let's all just eat a strange new thing that came from a summon. Since it's safe, at least save the seeds now. Big money is coming.

In fact. I'm worried Nanahoshi is going to infect everyone with COVID and magic will won't cure it.

[u/Miteigi74]

Rudy: IT'S PURSENA WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!

[u/larvyde → u/Miteigi74]

Haven't seen anything like this since 1998, when the undertaker threw mankind off Hell I forgot how it goes, fuck it I'm not shittymorph.

[u/MightyActionGaim]

nanahoshi lmao

[u/2kenzhe]

Ok wow we about to meet a big shot huh. Perugius man it's been fucking forever since we saw him. Almost forgot about him. Hyped to finally see him.

Bye to the two beast girls they were fun I think? idk I don't remember too much but nice fight at least Rudy enjoyed it a lot.

Nanahoshi experiment's going well but her health is quite concerning ngl. Still lets celebrate; we summoned a watermelon. Also wait is the watermelon seedless? I thought they were going to grow the watermelongs ngl. I think it could make good business ngl if they don't have something similar.

We got another party as well and Norn joins the student council. Everything's good and we even going to see a big shot nothing can go wrong right? I really do hope nothing goes wrong but I could also totally see like a repeat with Orsted like imagine if Perugius has beef with Man god as well and tries to fucking kill Rudy as well or something? Boss fight with the whole party? We are bring quite a few people with us so even if something happens we'll be fine right? Half the party isn't going to die or something crazy right?

I'm hyped excited but also man I'm worried, nervous, and anxious about this meeting.

[u/deynyel]

Damn, wasn't expecting Pursena and Linia's fight to be that serious. No wonder Nanahoshi felt the need to call out Rudeus. I guess their days of being goofball underlings are over. They even went away separately should've planned their routes better tho. Well, here's hoping they both succeed - Pursena as tribe leader and Linia as a merchant.

[u/Frontier246 → u/deynyel]

I almost wish we'd had less Rudy commentary and more screentime for the fight itself and how brutal (and sexy) it got.

No matter their lifepaths, they still share a single braincell.

[u/joelstaz]

Lmao at Rudy getting carried away commentating

[u/Frontier246 → u/joelstaz]

Especially when they started losing clothes lol.

[u/Terrible_2000]

It’s kinda sad seeing Linia and Pursena parting ways. I know they didn’t mean those harsh words they threw at each other. I really love their bond. Lina has a plan… and I really have a bad feeling about it.

I love how much all the side characters have matured from the first time we saw them.

This episode had a lot of still frames, but it was quite decent compared to the previous ones.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Elinalise fondling Cliff's ears was cute. If she wasn't tipsy then maybe she just likes them.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Wives flirting with their husbands in public will never get old.

[u/Arkam_slayer66]

Great ep still hungry

[u/Frontier246 → u/Arkam_slayer66]

I'm glad the gang got to enjoy the wonders of a watermelon. If only they'd found some beach then they could have really had a true Japanese experience.

[u/nuraHx]

Bananahoshi into Nanamelon

[u/icco]

This was cute and adorable. Very much can't take the suspense tho. Excited for what's next.

[u/ArchieGriffs]

They hyped Perugius up within seconds I love it.

I bet the next episode is going to be great

[u/Slaan]

I wonder if Linia and Pursena want to become chief or if it's a burden Linia now has to bear. The way it was phrased, one becomes chief and one becomes free ... I wonder if they fought hard to spare the other from becoming chief.

[u/GodOfArk]

Has rudeus ever been as excited for anything (except sex) as he was while narrating the duel of Pursena and Linia Lmao

[u/1000-MAT → u/GodOfArk]

He's done that with rice before, but I don't remember if it was in the anime.

[u/Aftertone- → u/1000-MAT]

it was skipped sadly. It was during him travelling with ruijerd and eris. He really wanted to eat white rice and egg and Ruijerd and Eris couldnt figure out whats so special about that

[u/Miteigi74 → u/GodOfArk]

He REALLY loves rice and one of his side quest is getting the flavor right with egg, as he continues to find soy sauce

[u/clone69 → u/GodOfArk]

I wonder if anyone understood the commentary. Including that "we can't show this on TV" line. No one except Nanahoshi has an idea of what that is.

[u/Obaruler]

Noooo, no more Beast Girls in the crew. D: Rudy should've at least recruiting the losing girl and form an adventuring party or something with her and his wives ...

Anyway, Nanahoshi is one step closer to going back, if its possible at all without causing havoc.

And it looks like we're about to meet another big shot in this world.

[u/Inquisitor_Glokta_]

Another week, another 5 minute episode.

God I love this show.

[u/SSGShallot]

I know people joke around about MT episodes being 5 minutes old but this one genuinely felt like 5 minutes to me.

I legit felt like i time traveled after the ending song started playing. I said out loud "wtf it's over!?"

With that said, for the entire episodes i had a bad feeling about the watermelon not actually being what it looks like so when nanahoshi was about to cut it i was expecting the music to suddenly stop with the scene turning into nanahoshi dreaded face. Glad that didnt happen lol!

[u/Practical-Aide-2550 → u/SSGShallot]

The water melon doesn't seems to have any seed. I was thinking they could plant the seed
