    Some details that maybe have gone over your heads. Paul sayin "save your mother even if it kills you" was because he felt guilty about his own mom death and that is why he became an adventurer. This phrase can also implies that Paul wanted Rudeus to fight even if it puts him in a death situation cause Paul would save his son if it comes to that just like he did.
    Also in his last moments Paul felt relief seeing Rudy alive and knowing that he was not so useless to his son after all.

    They didn’t fully flush everything out Rudy didn’t get “distracted”the hydra actually started lashing out with the stumps of its head and his future sight couldn’t keep up with it so Paul had to save him, also at the beginning of the season Rudy names one of his arms hulk and the other Hercules he lost the arm he referred to as Hercules. Lastly Paul’s mom died when he was younger and he and his siblings blame him for that because when she was weak she would go outta her way to spend time with him as he was bullied by them. Which is why him asking Rudy to die to save zenith was him speaking to his younger self saying die in order to save your mother. Just clarification and fun facts to clear anything up

But Rudy’s physical capabilities are extremely low vs a high class monster like a hydra so even if he was able to react which he wasn’t there’s no way he would of been able to get outta the way with the hydra swinging its heads even the cut off ones around. The hydra also realized that Rudy was the biggest threat out of everyone and targeted him which made it worse

      The hydra was also legit really smart, the anime didn't depict this the best but you can still tell(it is all really fast so it would be hard anyway tbh). The hydra was caught off guard not being able to regen, tries to start to regen, does the breath attack, and when all that doesn't work it starts using the nubs of it's cut off heads. This last part caught rudy off guard but not paul. That's why he was able to save rudy. Don't forget, this hydra was supposedly a "mythical fairy tail horror" type monster too. Rudy slipping is understandable tbh, and this also goes to show just how much of that guy paul was when it came to adventuring and fighting monsters. Man had A LOT of experience.

      Paul wasnt a good father and he knew it himself, for those that read about this series know. Paul had a terrible father as well but he still did everything he could to not be like him and try to be good in his own way (like most of us). In the end he was there for his family when rudy needed him the most and that is why he died with a smile because he had no regret leaving his family in the hand of his elder son who was is pride and joy. This was heartbreaking seeing in the anime and reading about it. they did justice to Paul in this episode. It was a well writing character there once again from this series.

    32:08 Rudeus is strong, just not overpowered. The only few things that could make him "overpowered" is his very deep mana pool and chantless casting, with the demon eye he received being more of a bonus as it eats a lot of mana to see a few more secs into the future, that it only works for him because he has the mana pool and it being only practical in certain scenarios. Also, there is one important reason as to why Rudeus might feel slow or not as responsive/reflexive as Paul or even half of Elinalise, despite having a trained body, which I'll omit for now in case they discuss it next week. Though honestly this certain weakness of his has already been touched upon multiple times in the novel at this point in the story that I don't understand why they haven't talked about it or introduced it as something that's been existing since the start. This "weakness" of his should be mentioned in the next episode since the LN did so, or else I'll get more frustrated from them omitting this for some unknown reason.

    In Mushoku, all warrior and swordman at high level (sometime even mage) has something call Battle Aura, which boost their physical status, make them faster, stronger and more durability. Most of those born with the Laplace Factor are inherently unable to wear Battle Aura, and it tends to be weak even for those who can. That why Rudeus, the one doesn't has it, can fast enough to dodge the Hydra attack.

    • @gancyr3D

      The hydra was resistant to physical attacks, that's why Elinalise couldn't cut off a head. The only reason Paul was able to sever the heads is that his shorter sword essentially has a special effect: the harder something is to cut, the better it gets at cutting. Basically, Paul had an op sword and enough skills to use it since he knows all 3 of the major sword styles.

    Amazing episode the crazy thing is Paul was often down on himself for being a bad dad to Rudeus. He failed him a lot after the incident he snapped when he first saw him and wasn’t even glad he was alive until after his actions. So Paul instinctively saving rudeus shows he truly did think of him as a son and himself as the father despite all his short comings. In the end when Paul passes he lays eyes on rudeus and sees he is well and breathing and he smiles because he was able to save his precious son with a fatherly act finally making him feel like he could help rudeus.

    it was a great episode, amazing but like every anime adaptation from a light novel, it has things skipped or not said that makes the scenes with more sense, like in the novels everything is really good explained. So first and without any spoiler, the Hydra was really smart and that makes the fight even more difficult. Paul had two sword when before he only uses one, now one can cut through hard things easily but can't cut "softer" things and that's why he uses the other that can do that, so he really was talking about his swords haha and the two had different roles, still weird comparing women to sword but is such a Paul's thing to say. That's why he also can cut through the Hydra's neck easily while Elinasile with her magic sword couldn't. Now something the anime never explained is that swordmen can really do some superhuman things, their mobility is really something else compared to mages, there is also something called "touki" that swordmen at certain level can use to make their bodies even stronger, faster and more durable. In that moment when everything went wrong, what really happen is that the Hydra started to heavily focused Rudeus and even more aggressively than ever. The Hydra uses all his severed necks to attack and also making difficult to everyone to cover Rudeus who physically can't avoid or defend himself from the attacks easily. Also the future vision eye of Rudeus went crazy, seeing all the necks and the giant body of the Hydra moving so much in present and also in future makes for an instant impossible to distinguish what was happening so Rudeus went into confusion. The necks attacks makes everyone tried to cover themselves or Roxy so no one could reach Rudeus in time when the Hydra attacked him, also Rudeus couldn't avoid it not only from the confussion from his eye that play wrong to him but also because he physically couldn't, he is a mage, not a swordmen and is not able at all to use touki, one of his most big deficiences and weaknesses. Paul could react so he went immediatly to kick Rudeus out to the way but that kick also stopped Paul in the place so he was the one recieving the Hydra's attack. It was a thing of one second, if Paul would just run and push Rudeus with his body and follow the momentum with him the both would be avoided that attack, but because of the short time Paul just could kick Rudeus out of the way, that kick stopped the momentum of Paul and signed his death warrant. It was the danger of having a mage in a close combat with a giant monster with so much range of attack and they had to pay the price for just a matter of one second.
    So yeah, withing Rudeus weaknesses we saw a bunch of them in this fight, that he is physically inferior to most warrior and swordmen in "normal state", that unless them he can't use touki at all so no body reinforcement. Other weakness that we saw even before is that he can't use silent healing magic at all, he has to say the enchantment because he can't really comprehend how healing magic really works. If the Hydra wouldn't resist magic and forced Rudy to close combat everything would be different.

So many ppl hated him and when I started the series I couldn’t understand why, he lost his family, took care of his daughter on his own, helped others, saved slaves, all while caring for his daughter and the fear and pressure that the rest of his family was most likely dead. For years, I can’t possibly imagine that stress, or being able to do half the things he did. And I found out his mother died and he regretted not being able to save her. So when he told rudues save her even if you die. He meant take this serious, and he didn’t want him to suffer the way he did. And in the end he would never let rudues die, rip and happy Father’s Day

    Rudy is strong, he "might" win against Paul 1v1.
    But Paul is both strong and experienced. Rudy wasn't experienced, people needed to guide him in the dungeon since the beginning, that sadly meant that others needed to look out for Rudy along the way. Rudy was stronger than Roxy too like you said at the end of the video and also faster with his spells, but Roxy was still more experienced.
    But if it weren't for Rudy, then they wouldn't have known about the book, they wouldn't had rescued Roxy, they wouldn't had reached the last floor, and they wouldn't be able to beat Hydra since they needed Rudy spells to burned the Hydra too as inexperienced as he was and Rudy was the one that learned about the Hydra weakness too. The cost of achieving all that just happened to be Paul death and Rudy hand sadly since Paul died in order to save Rudy at the end.
    So in general, Rudy was the real MVP. But in terms of just that Hydra fight alone, Paul was the MVP with Rudy at second since he was strong enough to cut Hydra while experienced enough to also look out for himself and others at the same time.

Original commenter meant their strength and experience levels generally, relative to the other. Mages are generally more *powerful* than swordsmen (as they have access to a plethora of destructive and non-destructive magical abilities of many different ranges) but often they lack speed and stamina. Swordsmen are lethal at close range but often against few targets at a time. Their physical attributes are often greater than that of mages and are generally quicker and stronger and have more stamina, though it’s worth mentioning rudy has quite an impressive physique to be a mage and has the eye of foresight. Paul has way more experience than Rudy, it’s not even close even at this point of story. How one relates how “powerful” someone is to their strength, speed, range, stamina, ability to do damage in an area, intelligence, experience, etc., is up in the air.

So Rudy was actually locked in, but it’s the same thing like with Orsted, he saw what was gonna happen but couldn’t react/ couldn’t process it in time since he’s a mage and usually fights from far away, but had to stay close up this fight so that the fire magic actually worked against the hydra. Also probably all happened in like 5 seconds, so rudy really couldn’t do anything since he’s not fast like Paul.
