Warning: Spoilers Off applies to this page. Proceed at your own risk.


  • Episode 2 ends with Roxy leaving after Rudeus graduated her teachings, but not before Rudeus thanks her. It's more on the sadder side of heartwarming.
  • Rudy taking Sylphiette under his wing and teaching her magic, as well as helping her get into the Magic Academy. Considering that Rudy thought at the time that she was just some random boy being bullied, he really did it just out of kindness and sympathy for her.
  • When Paul is caught cheating on Zenith with Lilia, Rudy convinces Zenith to forgive Lilia (and blame Paul instead) and allow Lilia to stay and raise her child with them, which likely saved Lilia's and her child's lives. Lilia is extremely grateful for this, even going so far as to break her stoic demeanor to thank Rudy while crying.
  • In "The Mother of the Greyrat Family" extra chapter, Zenith felt grateful for Rudeus during the whole situation with Lilia, prompting this exchange while they were both taking care of newborns Aisha and Norn:
    Zenith: Rudy... thank you for being born.
    Rudeus: Well... thank you for having me.
    • Extra heartwarming considering that as Orsted deduces later on, Rudeus would have been stillborn in previous timelines.
  • Paul and Rudeus having their proper reunion after their disastrous first reunion, with Paul making it clear how much he missed his son.
  • The manga adds a scene after Lilia's rescue where Aisha and Rudeus finally meet as brother and sister and stay up most of the night getting to know each other.
  • Ruijerd giving Rudeus a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech during his farewell pointing out how he helped him become someone people accepted and thank after four hundred years on his own, and he owes that to him.
  • Rudy, Sylphie and Zanoba go to a slave market to buy one that can help them make clay figurines. They find one that meets their criteria in the form of a six year old dwarf orphan who suffers from malnutrition and is too apathetic to even speak. Rudy initially tries to reach out to her in her own language, but it soon becomes clear that the poor girl has lost the will to live, something which Rudy realizes when he notices she has the same look in her eyes he once did. He then offers to put her out of her misery, but asks that she at least say something first. After a few moments, the girl speaks up and says that she doesn't want to die yet. Satisfied with her response, the trio buys her on the spot, takes her to a restaurant to feed her and give her the name Julie (in memory of Zanoba's younger brother whom he accidentally killed when he was younger). Rudy acknowledges that "wanting to live" and "not wanting to die" are not quite the same thing, but that it's a start. As Rudy and Zanoba teach Julie and raise her over the next few months, she becomes much happier with her new life.
  • The morning after Rudy has Sylphy's first time, he wakes up to find her gone. He comes dangerously close to having an emotional breakdown due to Eris doing the exact same thing after their first time... only for Sylphy to enter the room moments later, having gone off to thank Princess Ariel and Luke for their encouragement. Rudy jumps out of his bed and tightly hugs Sylphy as tears begin to run down his face, while Sylphy gently reassures him that she's there for him.
  • Eris, Sylphy, and Roxy together braving Orsted's curse and standing against him to protect Rudy. Also Ghyslaine joining in to protect Eris. Seeing this image softens Orsted and he asks Rudeus to join him.
  • Rudy marrying each of his three love interests, and them all living as a happy family together.
  • Lucy playing with Orsted, riding on his back. He is scary, he is the strongest man in the world, you just don't expect that. However, he's been at this for over 20,000 years, he probably did not have any companions. To suddenly have a child who isn't afraid of him must be a relief.
  • Lucy again, emulating her mother and patting Rudeus' head to comfort him after his failure in the Shirone mission.
  • "It's serious! It's serious! Lara-sama has wet herself!"
  • Orsted playing ball with the Supard children after their plague is cured. While his face doesn't change, he admits "it's not bad."
