Mushoku Tensei Season 3 Episode 13 โThe Diaryโ hit different for me on the mental health side.
Rudy puts his pillars on people. When somebody like Sylphy gets pulled out of his life, that pillar goes with her and he crashes. He doesnโt really have a version of himself thatโs solid just by himself.
I get the grief. Thatโs normal. What I clocked is the dependency on top of the grief.
Same thing with the bottle in that moment. Alcohol + a bad emotion doesnโt calm you down โ it feeds it. Iโve had to walk away from a drink mid-conversation for that exact reason.
Lesson from this episode if youโre paying attention:
be careful where you put your pillars.
You need some that still stand when people leave, money hits zero, or the circumstance flips.
Mushoku Tensei is probably the only anime im ready to go to war for, not because I can't take criticism but because most of the critism comes from people who don't watch the show and dont wanna watch it, or people who just want others to hate it cause it has problematic subjects.
