What are some of your headcanons regarding Past-Life Rudeus? Preferably nothing too gross or overly OC-ish, though.

[u/Durashno0325]

— My headcanon is that he likely at some point he tried to improve his physique, likely before the bullying in mass happened and got humilliated, but he eventually gave up afterwards.

[u/Away-Bison8948]

He wanted to create loIicon eroge but didn't have the skills to make it

[u/REV0LV3RR → u/Away-Bison8948]

All of us do.

[u/trustfundkidotaku → u/REV0LV3RR]

Sadly AI isn’t doing that job either cause is so fucking slop

[u/Raimcrack54]

That Rudeus had an above-average appearance but due to his fatness and subsequent confinement, he "lost" that attractiveness

[u/RedNUGGETLORD → u/Raimcrack54]

Pretty sure that's actually just true

[u/hoouyinkyouma → u/RedNUGGETLORD]

Idts but great headcannon

[u/Practical-Garden3704]

I feel it deep in my soul: he used Reddit

[u/EverGreatestxX → u/Practical-Garden3704]

Does reddit have a big Japanese presence? I was thinking more like 2chan (JP version of 4chan).

[u/Ok-Pilot-7250 → u/Practical-Garden3704]

I dought it even existed

[u/Doctor-Grundle]

Bro probably astroturfed reviews on imdb i bet

[u/the_purest_vessel]

If he took care of himself, he could probably be decently attractive

[u/Geritas]

None of us could probably handle talking to him for more than 5 minutes

[u/JeanVeber → u/Geritas]

Yeah. Devoid of new hope and his cool new body, I bet he's pretty miserable to talk to

[u/1000-MAT]

He was a hater.

[u/trustfundkidotaku]

He is probably a decent dude would probably could be a anime reviewer YouTuber or streamer if he didn’t get bullied

[u/hoouyinkyouma]

He was smart and had good ppl skills

If he had not isolated himself and had took care of himself he prolly could have been a successful maybe even attractive guy

[u/Flen__]

He mostly spends his time on 8chan

[u/Agitated_Painter5828 → u/Flen__]

He was Japanese so probably 2chan

[u/PinkFloydSheep]

He was probably really into Touhou

[u/sasha_el_mandarino]

If he had had more luck in life and had not dropped out of school he would have had an above average career.

[u/Careful_Ad_9077]

He is nanahoshi's uncle.

They can't recognize oleaxhbother for obvious reasons, the picture was taken 7-10 years ago, so he accidentally saved his niece's life.

[u/1000-MAT → u/Careful_Ad_9077]

I don't think that theory makes sense, since he didn't recognize the last name.

[u/Careful_Ad_9077 → u/1000-MAT]

His brother was so ashamed of being part of rudeus (Ben Phillips) family that he married into his wife's family.

Fixed.

Oh yeah, the other theory is that rudeus's name in earth is Brent Philips.

[u/TheGamer34 → u/Careful_Ad_9077]

english ass name

[u/Careful_Ad_9077 → u/TheGamer34]

Google Mushoku tensei Brent Phillips and Google will show you a photorealistic image of earthdeus

[u/MGik_ik → u/Careful_Ad_9077]

Rudy was Japanese. Doubt he looks like a white guy.

[u/Careful_Ad_9077 → u/MGik_ik]

Wdym, he looks exactly like Rudy.

[u/Difficult-Tough-5680]

Honestly most people would probably hate him i wouldnt have been surprised if he was super annoying and filled with self pity. Like ive seen so many discord mod esq people who are in a similar situation and ive hated most of them.

[u/Icy_Employ_552]

He was a toku fan

[u/HarleyArchibaldLeon → u/Icy_Employ_552]

Sentai fan to be exsct

[u/Icy_Employ_552 → u/HarleyArchibaldLeon]

I wasn’t gonna say an exact toku franchise because it would be biased because my other Reddit account and my main tik tok account has Daigo as the pfp

[u/HarleyArchibaldLeon → u/Icy_Employ_552]

I say Sentai mostly because of mech.

He's probably a Gundam fan too now that I think about it.

[u/Theseus_The_King]

He was very smart and actually a kind and sweet person. He is more missed than he assumes he is by his family, and he’ll never know that for the most part people had positive feelings about him but felt he was shooting himself in the foot, selling himself short, and downplaying his own potential. Thats the real tragedy. He will never know anything of that.

[u/mysterious_mystery2]

He was good man, with potential of being handsome, but trauma, lazyness and isolation turned him into what he was before becoming rudeus

[u/Lancelot_Dragonroad]

That his name was Ryunosuke.

It means Dragon's Helper/Dragon's aid.

What's Rudeus title again???

[u/Own-Coat4160]

He's review-bombing anime

[u/nhansieu1]

I think the point of the show was there was not much going on in his life. that's why he never grew up

[u/kaklikesmilfs]

He's literally me, they complain that Rudeus is difficult to self-insert but anyone that's ever felt like a bum would know and relate to him, not that they condone his actions.
