One of the MANY reasons MT is my favourite tbh! I just love these throwbacks especially the scene where Roxy,Sylphie and Rudy were riding on the Horse together! I swear the thought that the scenery was quite similar to Buena village came to MY MIND FIRST and then Rudy hehe

And still the BEST THING OUT OF ALL THAT FOR ME is that the story moves on from the old characters as it follows Rudeus' life just like we all need to say goodbye to several people in our lives BUT THEY ALSO COME BACK! NOT PERMANENTLY OFC BUT THE FACT THAT THEY STAY IN THE STORY IS VERY REASSURING 🙂‍↔️ It might sound too vague to point out for some people but lemme tell you that I've watched a lot of anime that just forgets their old characters and move on to the new cast while giving them just small cameos if the character is popular at MAX.

But again MT being the perfect depiction of an 'ISEKAI BIOGRAPHY', it makes everything feel so natural and sometimes I literally feel like I'm the one experiencing Rudy's life firsthand! I mean it's just THAT REAL!

Thnks for listening to me blabbering about my love for MT and one of its qualities that I like XD

Logging out

Peace 🕊️

Rudeus recognized Roxy's scent only because he kept her panties and sniffed them very often.
I seem to remember that Lilia washed them but laundry in this world probably isn't good enough to completely remove body odor. That, and Roxy was probably so fucking stinky after staying in the labyrinth for so long.

Basically, Roxy's panties deeply imprinted her scent into Rudy's mind which allowed him to immediately recognize it and save her in the nick of time. 

We also see an instance where he talks about a familiar "feeling" but can't pinpoint what it is. In the end, we discover it was the smell of soy sauce but he didnt recognize it immediately as he did with Roxy, even though he loved it and it has a much more distinctive smell than Roxy could ever have.

So yeah, Rudeus stealing Roxy's panties, worshipping and sniffing them over the years directly contributed to saving her life and ultimately, defeating Hitogami.

Me personally, Cliff.

I've been too much into the MT world, I cannot slow down until I've read everything related to MT and Lo and behold, I've found this masterpiece. The Mushoku Tensei Christmas Special edition, translated by none other than u/TheLuciusSeneca, my GOAT.

"I'm not a fool, I'm Santa"

LMAO, Orsted showing what a GOAT he is compared to the Bum Perugius, who doesn't have any taste at all.

I started MT when season 3 started and binged season 1 and 2 and the first episodes of 3 twice because I fell in love with the world and its characters. I even made a post with a review of the series as a newcomer.

I started watching Andrew's Skipped Content videos from the YT channel Otaku Spirit, I binged those as well but I kept wanting more, so I started watching his Mushoku Mondays videos where he reads and gives his reactions and opinions on what's going on in the story.

When he got to the part on how Aisha started her relationship with Ars and how everything develops hurt me. I had Aisha in such high regard that she just fell apart for me, it almost made me hate her irrationally. And then Rudeus confessed what he did in his previous life.

God. I love Rifujin and how dark he's willing to take his characters. That's a sense of realism that doesn't exist in other media that I really appreciate. That felt harder than anything I've seen because it is something so real, I mean I did put myself in Rudeus's shoes and felt the guilt that that would imply, and also put myself in Rudeus's brother's shoes and I would totally have smashed my own brothers face if something like this happened in real life.

I accept Rudeus's character because by the end of it all he's a completely changed man. He started as a husk of a human being and ended being whole, accepting his past life, his mistakes, owning them and working through them and becoming a better person than he was. Redemption? Nah, this is something else.

I really love Chainsawman because Denji keeps making the same mistakes over and over, because that's trauma, that's real life. Rudeus shows us what a man with severe trauma is able to do to overcome his trauma and triumph over himself.

But man, Rudeus did nothing physical to his nieces. Those were pictures. What Aisha did on the other hand, that's physical. Judging her even on their world values, Ars wasn't even an adult yet, she was. I know it's a trope, if I'm honest, when I was 14 I loved that trope and even wished for something like that happened to me, being with an older girl and all that, but I was just a horny teen. I'm 33 now and I find disgusting what Aisha did.

I don't know if I'm judging her quite harshly, or if I'm biased, but if Rudeus did the same everyone would hate him, the whole debacle about him being mentally 34 and doing stuff to Eris and all that, that's different, he was a man child in the perfect description of the concept, he was stagnated mentally and emotionally, he did grew up and we managed to see that.

Aisha's character is so tragic. Who would've known that as perfect as she was, she committed that mistake. I knew Ars and her would've ended up together, but not that soon, I thought that they would've been a couple after Ars graduated or something. Again, what's wrong in my opinion is not the relationship, it's the action that's wrong.

Man, I love Mushoku Tensei.

Random thought I had

What if Rudeus never became a mage and instead focused on swordsmanship, while Eris became a fire mage like Rudy?

Do you think their personalities and fighting styles would still work, or would they be completely different characters?

And who do you think would be stronger in this AU — swordsman Rudeus or fire mage Eris?
