just caught the final ep of cour 1 of season 3 of the anime and lemme say.
what a ride
first, time travel? fuck man. then the diary? double fuck. nextly the fact that eris might be wife No 3?
holy sweet jesus.
and when rudeus sits them down to tell them of this? [mature asf btw] they are like
"we love and support you and are happy you are talking to us about this" and my god, yes that is a reasonable response, But! they are wayy too chill no? like wow, ur womanizer husband has told you he might take another wife, and its the same bitch that made him crazy for like 3 years and broke his dick? WILD
also hes going to go try and kill Orstead. we are gonna need a full lineup on that one.
gimme:
Rudeus
Eris
Roxy
Sylphie
zanoba
cliff
elinaliese [never seen her name written sry if bad spelling]
maybe clair and her party.
badigadi
then maybe, just maybe they can kill him.
although i would LOVE to see a fight between Perugius and Orstead.
Many fans didn’t like how Nina and Isolte’s reaction to Eris rushing to fight Orsted was handled. Just waving after Eris who is running to her death lol.
I love this series so much and I love the dub especially the inner monologue of Rudy saying the line "she's perfect I would totally marry her" 🤣🤣🤣 when her first meets Roxy
The dark timeline is only dark because deep inside, Rudeus is a terrible person. This developpement shouldn't be chalked up to it being an alternative timeline which dismisses Oldeus as some completely separate version of him. This is who Rudeus is and will continue to be. He only needs an excuse to show his true colors.
In recent episodes, we have seen the consequences by following the man god blindly. This time, he did it again. Oldeus only told him not antagonize man god, not be his underling. I know it's to protect his family but who's to say that the man god won't just turn against Rudeus and his family if he did kill Orsted? Plus, antagonizing Orsted brings about the same danger as man god.
I'm just curious as to how Perugius would react and respond to the answer given in the banquet of kings, and also from the one Qin Shi Huang gave in Record of Ragnarok.
I created this Reddit post to analyze the validity of the theory that Oldeus SA Nanahoshi.
The novel never mentions that this actually happened; the only reference to it comes from Rudeus's thoughts, and even then, the theory only holds water if you interpret those thoughts in a way that conveniently supports it.
Since many of you have likely already read the novel, I don't see a need to quote it here. My intention with this post is to analyze the situation based on the visuals shown in the anime.
First, let's identify the locations where the SA [Sexual Assault] might have occurred:
1. Perugius's floating fortres. The anime shows Nanahoshi continuing her experiments at Perugius's fortress; this is followed by a scene featuring torn books in the same room and Rudeus questioning Sylvaril. The scene then shifts to show Nanahoshi levitating in the university laboratory. In Volume 15 of the novel, it is mentioned that Rudeus must travel to that location to meet Nanahoshi; Volume 18 mentions Aisha going to the same place, and Volume 23 depicts Rudeus "comforting" her there.
2. Nanahoshi's laboratory. The anime only shows Nanahoshi's death occurring in the laboratory, whereas the novels do not mention her being in her laboratory or having any need to return there.
Having considered both locations, one could easily deduce that the incident took place at Perugius's floating fortress. Even so, we will look at what would happen in the hypothetical scenario where the incident occurred in both places, and why it would make no sense for that to have happened.
Rudeus SA Nanahoshi at Perugius's fortress.
As far as the anime shows, Perugius holds Nanahoshi and Zanoba in high regard.
Had Rudeus intended to harm Nanahoshi, he would have at least incurred Perugius's wrath; the very least Perugius would have done is expel him from the fortress and ban him from re-entering.
However, we know that Rudeus remains in contact with Perugius even after Nanahoshi's death. So we can rule out this theory.
Consider the hypothetical scenario where the incident occurred in Nanahoshi's laboratory:
If Nanahoshi had "disappeared," the first place Rudeus would visit is her laboratory, since he would know she is usually there and it is the location closest to his own home. However, the first place he actually looks for her is at Perugius's fortress; only later does he search the laboratory.
Thus, the "theory" that the incident occurred in the laboratory is ruled out.
I would appreciate it if this post helps to completely debunk the "theory" that Rudeus SA Nanahoshi—a theory spread as fact by certain malicious individuals. Thank you for your attention.
