In episode 23 of Mushoku Tensei II, Roxy decides to spend the night with Rudeus, even though she knows he is married and has a child on the way. What did you think of this attitude?
To be honest, I’m not angry or outraged. That’s because I had already caught spoilers about Rudeus’s romantic relationships before the anime even premiered. I don’t know anything about the rest of the story, like future villains or Zenith’s fate, just the romantic details. Therefore, I already knew that the two would be together.
Obviously, I didn’t know how things would turn out. If I hadn’t received the spoilers, I would be very angry, because I hate betrayal. The way Roxy took advantage of the situation right after the death of Rudeus’s father would be something that would make me very angry, at the moment I’m more like… “really?”
Fans react to Roxy’s attitude in Mushoku Tensei II ep 23
Let’s see how the Japanese reacted to the episode?
“What are these people doing right after their father’s death?”
“Sylphie: “The husband I sent with confidence… is that NTR?! It’s a new sensation! It really is a new sensation!”
“You will be scolded by your sister again.”
“They tried to put too much stuff in one episode, it was all messed up, haha.”
“Monogamy only became an established custom after the Showa Era.”
“I don’t remember, but Roxy and Sylphie don’t know each other, right?”
“Too many GreyRats, haha”
“This polygamy alone in this episode will be enough for feminists to revolt on social media.”
“Where is Eris and what is she doing? haha”
“With Rudeus’s energy, two wives are good. And the red-haired person who comes after is five times more vigorous.”
“Polygamy proposal the week after his father’s death, hahaha. No wonder this isn’t popular with women.”
“I also promised marriage to two girls when I was a child, so I don’t think Rudeus is wrong. Plus, it’s another world.”
And there is one comment that I wanted to highlight, which is the comment below:
“To be honest, convincing the sisters will be more difficult than convincing Sylphie.”
Based on Sylphie’s previous comments and reactions, I think she will accept Roxy as Rudeus’s new wife without any problems. In previous episodes, Sylphie raised concerns about not being able to get pregnant because she is an elf and suggested that Rudeus have another woman so he can have children, meaning she is ok with him having other women, and she also acted normally when buying a slave to Zanoba.
These attitudes show that Sylphie has an open mind and as she does not follow the religion that imposes only one partner, I believe she is fine. After all, in this world, polygamy is normal.
Therefore, I believe that despite the reactions, Sylphie will accept Roxy as Rudeus’s second wife calmly. The real challenge will be convincing his sisters.
