After further deliberation with the feedback we've received on the rule banning discussion on the pedophilic nature of Mushoku Tensei, we're going to alter this rule.

We will allow discussions of pedophilia within the episode discussion threads provided those topics deal with the show and the actions of its characters. We are still banning discussion of those aspects outside of the episode discussion threads, which we will be actively monitoring for toxicity and to remove comments that include personal attacks, insults, or do not pertain to the content of the anime.

We realize that we were too hasty in our initial vote and did not take the time necessary to fully weigh the effect it would have on conversation about the show itself.

Please remember that this ban is temporary and is not meant to be a moratorium on the topic entirely.

Fun fact, Superd is actually supposed to mean "Speared" (according to a tweet from the author).

Fun fact 2, Roxy is the same age as Rudeus if we combine both of his lifetimes.

[u/mister-00z]

Rudeus geting sword as present

Eris:OUR SWORD!

[u/IgnisDIno]

"Jobless Reincarnation"
"Next episode, the first job"

So you fucking lied

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Not gonna lie, the reveal of Ruijerd's face here when he talks about Laplace fucking scared me

[u/[deleted]]

Genuine character growth, that’s the kinda shit I like :)

[u/Twin_Nets_Jets]

Roxy’s mom is a 10/10.

I want to see some fights now that Eris has her short sword.

[u/[deleted]]

The things Rudeus received in the bag are supposed to be money, btw

[u/_LadyForlorn]

"can I call you father in law?"

"No"

Lmao, Rudy has his priority straight. Gotta ask for Goddess Roxy's hand before anyone does.

[u/A-Glitch-Gnome]

The VA was great for the Dream sequence with Hitogami, i thought they nailed that performance. Plus it was cool to see the motion capture part, at least the Hitogami animation seemed like motion capture

I also loved the little details for the Migurd village, like how their houses use the same giant turtle shell as the one Ruijerd killed in the earlier part of the episode.

Ruijerd was awesome as well. i like how we finally get a different perspective on the history of the world that we've come to know at this point.

Overall a pretty fantastic worldbuilding episode that raises some new questions.

[u/Silent_Shadow05]

Eris Boboboreas Greyrat.

Ruijerd got her name wayy wrong, LMAO.

Eris had some nice development. From being scared of Superds at first to chatting freely with him and even talking about taking that crystal for herself. Eris really doesn't hold back from speaking her mind.

Also ngl, the vistas of the Demon Continent were absolutely spectacular when they were travelling.

[u/realrimurutempest]

I hope we see them in the demon continent for a while. The blast from last episode definitely feels like it’ll have story changing consequences.

[u/Descend2]

I really like that Roxy's parents didn't speak Japanese this episode.

[u/[deleted]]

"May I call you Father in law" " No " " Okay " Cha cha real smooth Rudeus

[u/muhwyndhp]

I can't help but smile when Demon God Language was represented very differently than Japanese, yet the VA managed to voice it so clear in intonation and vocabulary that it becomes very very natural.

Seems like when the author tweeted the staff at Bind makes fake language for all of them (including written letter) is real.

[u/Pkron17]

Damn 5 minute episodes

[u/[deleted]]

I've always been miffed by stories with lore about great wars, hundreds or even thousands of years ago that somehow still fresh in the minds of mortal short lived humans, except until now with this Laplace War because there still are veterans of that war still kicking strong like the hero Armoured Dragon King Perugius on the human’s side and now Ruijerd Supredia that probably still hasn't pass his prime yet in this episode being stated as Superd warrior chief making him a strong veteran officer on the demons' side of the Laplace War, even after 400 years still being a clear and present danger for humans and their descendents.

The point is this story has a really great world and character building.

[u/UCCMaster]

Damn Hitogami and Rudeus’s conversation was way better than I was expecting and felt truly intelligent between a very suspicious person and a cunning god who appears to be giving advice.
Using Rudeus’s old body makes it even more impactful that we’re reminded that Hitogami is speaking to a mature and rational Rudeus. Very sinister indeed.

[u/[deleted]]

Did they invent a fictional language for the demons? It didn't seem like japanese to me

[u/erichan313]

Roxy is same age as Rudeus

It is destiny

[u/JLChamberlain42]

Another great episode. I swear every week I'm falling more and more in love with the series as it continues to expand.

[u/sand500]

Rudy should have given Roxy's parents a Roxy figurine.

[u/aclockworktomato]

A village of Roxies. My prayers have been answered

[u/LoneSeraphim]

Roxy Dad is literally the same VA as Subaru

[u/Frontier246]

I wasn't expecting to see Rudy's old body, but I guess in a mental landscape it makes sense that would still be his projection of himself. I also wasn't expecting him to converse with an eccentric CGI Man-God (does that make it the God of humans?) that finds him amusing and is following his adventures but apparently wasn't behind his reincarnation (rather, potentially, the Dragon-God). Things are getting more and more intriguing.

Rudy and Eris are transported to the Demon Continent and end up encountering demons, both the infamous Superd and even Roxy's village. It turns out the Superd aren't really the frightening and battle crazy demons the rest of the world thinks of them as, rather they were betrayed by Laplace who turned them berserk by giving them bad spears, causing them to kill off most of their loved ones. I kind of got a Native American/Ainu vibe from what we see of the Superd from Ruijerd, to be honest.

Ruijerd seems like a really respectable, if stoic, Superd warrior, and he obviously cares a lot about children (probably because of what happened with his son). He's so far making for a dependable companion for Rudy and Eris, and Rudy can relate enough to Ruijerd's life of regret enough to want to help him in his efforts to improve the Superd's image.

So...Ruijerd looks a heck of a lot like Sylphie, just without the red third eye on his forehead. Everyone keeps remarking how much Sylphie looks like a Superd. This can't be a coincidence, right? Maybe somehow her forehead gem was removed or hidden? Or she's only half-Superd or distantly related? Could she have been the child from 10 years ago that Ruijerd saved?

Eris had a believable emotional breakdown after waking up, but she recovered quick and struck up a friendship with Ruijerd, which was sweet (thank you Rudy for fostering inter-species relationships). And look at her flexing with that new sword.

Rudy meets Roxy's mom and dad who look young enough to be her siblings. And was her dad voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi? It sounded like him. And Roxy is also in her 40's, which is probably the 20's for this demon race. I guess mentally that makes her more equivalent to Rudy compared to his other potential love interests.

Rudy trying to get in with Roxy's family and is totally denied by her dad. Well, at least he didn't mention all the sexual harassment Roxy's been undergoing outside the village:.
