    Likely the most important episode in the whole season 2.

    The events in the erectile dysfunction arc adventure and school arcs aren’t a big deal, what matters are the characters, specially Bananahoshi, she’s a key element in the story later on. She’s also a nice foil to Rudeus: transferred vs. reincarnated, wanting to go back vs. wanting to stay, Hitogami pawn vs. Orsted associate.

    This episode also captured nicely how complex Sylphy’s feelings are. She’s too afraid to take the necessary step to pursue Rudeus, but she wants him, and having Rudeus and Nana share something that she doesn’t makes her even more insecure. I’m glad to see Rudeus’ cluelessness working in his favour at least once - Sylphy was clearly asking “what do you think of her as a woman”, and he immediately replied about unrelated things (basically, regarding trust on the deal.)

    Bananahoshi, and other big spoilers for the future

    Another foil aspect between Rudeus and Nana: JP!Rudeus was a hikikomori sort of shut-in wasting his life away, while Nana is now a rather productive hermit-like shut-in. It helps to deliver the point that it doesn’t matter who you are, or how much you socialise; what matters is effort, actually doing something with your life.

    I’ve seen some fans calling Nana “Black Mama”. They do something similar with Sara as “Blond Mama” - to imply that they’re part of Rudeus’ harem (or should be) alongside Green/White Mama (Sylphy), Blue Mama (Roxy) and Red Mama (Eris). I think that this is a mistake - they have no role to fill as characters in Rudeus’ harem, the author was sensible keeping three highly distinct love interests and no more. They shine better separately.

    After Rudeus and Sylphy marry, I wish that Rudeus told her about his past. Basically the stuff said in this episode, but in an actual language instead of earthling gibberish. Sadly this only happens in the deleted WN chapters, and ~15 years after marriage. :::
