Just the way they described it in the fight itself. It was oversized and effectively immune to any non-fire magic. He only won because it "luckily" was stupid and only had one, simple attack pattern.

Is Sara and gang Light novel addition or anime original? Because I am pretty sure they weren't in web version. And while I never really liked Rudeus... "problem" and especially it's solution I think it was still better then just shaking that broken heart off and I did like his and Elinalise relationship and not exactly thrilled of her being replaced by bunch of nobodies (even if they are quite likeable).

The animation still seems low when compared to season 1 but some scenes felt like the storyboard artist had steroids due to the sudden increase of production values. Still, I can't tell if Rudeus really recovered from his depression

They appear in Light Novel.
The whole Volume 7 covers their plot. They are even on the Cover of it.


And while the Manga did initially skip the Depressed Mage Arc, they later created a Side-Story Series to cover it (similar to the one they created for Eris).

The Depressed Mage Arc happens before Rudeus meets her.

Sara does show up much later in the web novel as the household hires her and these events are implied to have happened. I can't go much more without hitting spoilers.

[Dark Wing]

Yea people tend to forget that Web Novels are usually like the first draft to an official Light Novel. Alterations, Additions, and Replacements of whole plot points do happen.

That being said. I've decided to read the Light Novel while watching along with the anime and I have to be honest. The anime looks good and is passable as an adaption but I like the Light Novels much better with all the small details and world building that anime just seems unable to adapt.

The little temple Rudeus built is pretty creepy.

He's come a long way back from lying on the cot in the tent after Eris left. And he burned her hair. I think the next episode should lighten the mood.

Rudy definitely feels classier around Sara than he would've been in season 1.

yea, they were written, but it after the main story was finished, and there were a bunch of short stories written that took place at different periods of the story.
I guess afterwards, they were inserted into their chronological order.

Don't remember it getting kind of SAO sidestory there at the end though.

[Strahan]

I kept waiting for Rudy to deck that loudmouth, but ah well. Not that said loudmouth is wrong either; Rudy's forced pleasant facade would be a bit weird to deal with. But still, I was kinda hoping he'd snap a lil heh.

Spoiler for EP2, though really if you are on here before watching that's on you heh:

I'm surprised when the party informed Rudeus about Mi-something-or-other and Sara being killed they didn't comment on his super bland reaction; practically a non-reaction. Yea, they weren't tight but he said earlier in the ep in narration that they've done a lot of missions together. While they obviously saw that he's been in a numb kind of emotional state lately, if I were them I'd still have expected somewhat more of a response to the news.

Not me. I hate tsundere, especially ones like her. When I see the writer making then switch to their dere phase, I'd absolutely love it if they confess and the recipient is like "ehhh what? Pfffft, you've been nothing but a major bitch to me, I'll pass" lol

Yea, no doubt. The whole panties thing is just cringe AF. It's so bad it gives me feelings of fremdscham pretty often when I see it come up in the show, lol

I feel like they've handled the emotional transition well here .

Yeah. I think Rudeus' case with Eris was a bigger tsundere but that could be because of all the jokes and Rudeus being more playful back then. The Rudeus from this season seems quite different probably due to the depression.

[Mad Pierrot]

New preview is out. Without saying anything, this just made me laugh a lot due to the return of a certain character whose name I can't even remember but her role in season 1 was insane

Yea, at least with Sara it makes sense versus some other tsundere dere-activations I've seen, heh. Saving your life would definitely put a person into a good light

I am also mollified by knowing that if Sara does make a move, ultimately she'll get shot down. No way the MC is going to settle down with a side character. He'll hit it maybe (but I doubt it), but not actually get together. I just wish tsunderes would get their tsun thrown in the face more often as a reason for the GTFO, heh. I swear I remember a show once where the tsundere does the usual punch-in-the-face reaction when embarrassed, and instead of it being played off for laughs bystanders are like "wtf is wrong with you?" It was refreshing lol

Honestly I think it would be good for Rudy to at least try for a new relationship to help move on from Eris. I don't think Sara should really pay for being a but tsun-tsun to him in the past now that she's past that point.

[Tenzen12]

While that's not wrong. Dating someone who strongly resemble his ex may be not exactly best way.

It's such a weird comparison for him to make though, and given the way the anime presented and performed it, I don't find Eris and Sara alike at all.

It feels like Rudeus is projecting his lovelorn feelings onto Sara to make the comparison she is like Eris, when she isn't at all.

Part of the reason that Eris ran away is because of her predilection for dependency on others. Eris is headstrong and fierce, but she never really felt independent. She was always relying on Ghislaine, then Rudeus, then Ruijerd and finally Rudeus again (emotionally this time). She somewhat always needed others as a crutch, and a big part of the reason she didn't feel she was worthy of Rudeus.

Sara on the other hand is incredibly independent, melds immediately into any group because she handles the mid-range with her unconventional bow, and part of the development that Timothy and Suzanne were trying to give her is to have her learn how to handle new people better before she gets stuck in a rut and limits her potential. Basically be more diplomatic like Timothy is.

Sass in the only thing the two have in common, and Sara has nothing on Eris on that front.

I don't think that's good argument. As long as he see Eris in her, (regardless whether he is right or wrong) it will not be healthy relationship.

I don't think he should hook up with Sara at all, personally. But I also think he is projecting that she reminds him of Eris. I feel like in his state of mind, he'd imagine similarities in any girl about the appropriate age.

[Tenzen12]

Sorry I deleted my post wanting rework it altogether, but you were faster

Anyway I don't think that's the case, even if similarities between Eris and Sara are somewhat superfluous they are still very evident. Stubbornness, brattiness and sass are not that common to warrant word "any"

[Kanon]

Sara is a regular tsundere, Eris is a bitchdere. Similar but not quite. If you put Eris in Sara's shoes, she would have probably beaten Rudeus up multiple times by now.
