This a part of Mushoku Tensei had two climaxes. The primary was the large battle in opposition to the hydra. It was your typical motion climax—crammed with flashy magic and life-or-death conditions. The second is the emotional climax—this episode.
Rudeus is aware of he is strolling right into a minefield. As a lot as he desires to return dwelling, he dreads it. In spite of everything, he is carrying nothing however dangerous information together with him. His father is useless and his mom’s mind is broken—he has to inform his little sisters this reality. For Aisha, the truth that her mom is alive and round to consolation her helps soften the blow. Nonetheless, for Norn, issues are a lot more durable.
For Norn’s entire childhood, her father was the one one she may depend on—the one one who made the world really feel protected. You may inform she desires to lash out at Rudeus—however how can she probably blame him for not doing sufficient when the battle value him his hand? Even in her grief, it is apparent he wasn’t holding again. Is she emotionally devastated? Sure. Is she alone in her grief? No. Between her reconciliation with Rudeus and the months she’s spent with Sylphie, it is clear she is aware of deep down that she has the assist she might want to heal—which is why Rudeus’ second bombshell units her off in a method that even her father’s dying doesn’t.
Rudeus dishonest on Sylphie, whatever the circumstances, is an occasion that might destroy their household and go away Norn utterly alone. Within the worst case, with Sylphie now not “household,” Norn would have nobody however her condescending half-sister and the brother who blew up her steady life as a result of he could not preserve his dick in his pants. And greater than that, Norn has come to like Sylphie as a maternal determine. To see Sylphie betrayed in such a method—whereas she was struggling by means of being pregnant on their own—places Norn on the offense like by no means earlier than. So, she’s not solely making an attempt to drive Roxy out for Sylphie’s sake, but in addition in a last-ditch try and preserve the established order for her household—even when in a broken state.
What’s actually attention-grabbing, nonetheless, is how Sylphie reacts. Reasonably than the lovesick lady who’s so codependent on Rudeus that she’d do something for him—irrespective of how a lot it’d damage her emotionally—we see a mature girl who has lengthy since accepted that she’s going to by no means personal his coronary heart utterly.
Whereas she jokes about how he’s a pervert and that it’s pure for him to cheat, that is all that it’s: a joke. Rudeus did not cheat with Roxy as a result of she was a handy outlet and he was attractive, he cheated together with her as a result of he loves her—and since he was extraordinarily emotionally susceptible. Syphie’s identified ever since she reunited with Rudeus as Fitz that there have been two different ladies in his coronary heart—the one he idolized and the one which inadvertently crushed him. She’s nearly definitely identified deep down from the beginning that ought to both of those ladies re-enter his life she’d have to choose: settle for them or lose him. And as Sylphie’s had months of ready, understanding that Roxy and Rudeus could be working collectively to avoid wasting Zenith, she’s lengthy since made her selection—to share him relatively than battle a battle she nearly definitely can not win.
Thus we finish the season on a bittersweet word. Sylphie won’t ever have Rudeus as she actually desires him however by accepting Roxy, she’s creating a robust household unit. She has her youngster with Rudeus and her house is crammed with love and joyful voices. It is arduous to think about a world the place there will not be troubles between the 2 wives in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later, however not less than the 2 are beginning issues off with mutual respect.
