Episode 22 Discussion
The impact of this episode was intense and gave an in-depth meaning to the title ‘Turning point.’ The scenes from meeting Orsted till Rudeus’s death got me spooked. I, for one, do not want to come across the Dragon God.
Rudeus is back to life and has some intel from Man-God. What will Rudeus plan to do after such an encounter? What did Nanahoshi say to Orsted that saved Rudeus’s life?
Fans were hyped with how the studio adapted the introduction of Orsted. This encounter will connect to a future episode as Rudeus and his companion travel.
We’ll have to wait and see how the series unfolds as the episodes get released for the anime.

Episode 21 Recap
This episode starts with a gruesome scene where Rudeus, Eris, and Ruijerd face a mysterious person. Getting to the present events, team Dead End takes shelter at a village and rests up. Eris and Ruijerd then train intensely, and Eris’s skills have improved.
After sparring, Ruijerd lets Eris know she can call herself a warrior now, for she’s grown a lot. Afterward, they continue their journey. Eris, seeing red dragons, wants to battle them. Rudeus mentions how the dragons are strong and live in a pack, making it hard to fight them.
The team talks about which Seven Great Powers might defeat a flock of red dragons. As Rudeus wonders about the stronger God in power, he finds Ruijerd and Eris startled by something in the distance. A mysterious man and a young woman approach and crosses their path.
Ruijerd tells Eris and Rudeus not to make any movements. The man then recognizes Ruijerd and Eris but not Rudeus. Eris and Ruijerd ask the man how he knows them, but he leaves, stating it was unexpected to meet them here.
Rudeus asks the man to wait, introduces himself, and finds the man’s name to be Orsted. Orsted then realizes that Rudeus can look into his eyes without fear. Orsted gets asked about the mana cataclysm by Rudeus, but he replies he doesn’t.
Rudeus apologizes for bothering him and goes to leave. Orsted then asks Rudeus if ‘Man-God’ means something to him. As Rudeus says it does, Orsted moves in to kill him. Ruijerd pulls Rudeus away and defends him with his spear.
Orsted realizes Rudeus is an apostle of Man-God. Ruijerd yells at Rudeus to run away and fights Orsted. Orsted and Ruijerd are caught in an intense fight, but Orsted is far skilled. As Ruijerd gets knocked out, Eris tries to take Orsted on but gets beaten against the wall.
Rudeus looking at Orsted finds his insides severed with his demon eye. Orsted tells Rudeus to convey to Man-God that Dragon God Orsted will kill him. Rudeus, in his dying state, uses his magic to attack Orsted.
Orsted then forms a dragon shield while Rudeus prepares a powerful spell. Orsted’s shield cracks as the impact of the magic ball is strong. Orsted witnessing the power finds Rudeus’s ability to be on par with Laplace. He then slashes through Rudeus’s heart and leaves.
As Rudeus slowly faces death, he feels he’s still not ready to die as there are promises yet to be fulfilled. Rudeus sees the woman with Orsted speaking with him and dies. He then wakes up in front of Man-God.
Rudeus inquires the reason for Orsted attacking him hearing Man-God’s name. Man-God replies that the Dragon God has something against him. Rudeus finds out that Man-God couldn’t warn him for he cannot see what Dragon God does.
Man-God states Orsted has a curse on him, so he cannot see anything about Dragon God. He then explains how there are people called ‘Cursed Children,’ and Orsted is one. He also says Orsted has three other curses and states that being feared and hated is another curse.
Rudeus then wonders why he didn’t fear Orsted. Man-God tells him it’s because Rudeus is from another world. Rudeus understanding the contexts asks if Ruijerd is a Cursed child. Man-God reveals Ruijerd’s curse was passed on to him by Laplace.
Rudeus thinks if helping Ruijerd due to Man-God’s advice was for nothing. Man-God reassures that the Sperd’s curse is almost gone and because Ruijerd met Rudeus, the curse is fading. Rudeus feels happy hearing that his efforts to help Ruijerd weren’t for nothing.
He then finds it hard to believe that Orsted defeated Ruijerd. Man-God says the Dragon God is the most powerful being and can destroy the world if he wants to. He states this won’t happen because his curses stop him from those acts.
Rudeus realizes he’s dead now and thinks about passing the time since dying didn’t seem unreasonable. As he tries to figure out what to do, Man-God says he’s got good news for him. Man-God states he’s not dead yet, and Rudeus gets back to life.
Rudeus wakes up to Eris and finds out Orsted healed him after the woman named Nanahoshi said something to Orsted. Realizing everything is okay, he finds Eris teary. Rudeus apologizes for making her worry, and she emotionally says she’s glad he’s alive.
