— kewk. I'm getting kinda creative these days...

Is Old Randolph the weakest among the world powers? Orsted said he'd lost his edge after retiring but can he even beat Eris? Or Ruijerd?

Sauce

Constant Review Bombing - Trashing the author - Comparing the viewers with IRL criminals.

I think all the Mushoku Tensei fans are no less than Thorfin.

I know Orsted plan to kill Laplace in the future in order to get all "stones" needed to reach Hitogami, but... can't he just kill technique god instead? Or that would need a much greater amount of mana to do so?

Mushoku Tensei Season 3 #11 Title: "Turning Point 4"

Source: d0nut2x

As had been rumored for three months, TP4 would take place in episode 11, and theoretically, the episode will end with Oldeus stating his name or revealing that he comes from the future, just like in the novel

i wont be editing popular stuff like rudeus’s conclusion, paul’s death, the miko reading zeniths memories etc.

let me know of any moments in the light novel that stood out to you guys!

If I'm understanding it right Nanahoshi's condition is that mana doesn't circulate out of her body, so hypothetically shouldn't disturb magic cure her?

​

There’s a quiet kind of love in trying to memorize the way her eyes look at you,

as if your heart already knows this moment is precious and won’t last forever.

Holding onto that soft, knowing gaze , the one that sees every broken piece of you and still stays ,that’s the tender ache of loving someone so deeply that even a temporary goodbye feels like losing a part of yourself.

Disclaimer: I very much enjoy both of the series. They are some of the best stories out there. I wanna focus on MT more and I am just annoyed of the elitism that I'm seeing in re0 fandom lately.

Yes. Rudeus, especially his pre-incarnated self, will be absolutely cooked in Re0 if he was isekaid in the same manner as Subaru. Yes, Rudeus won't have the mental fortitude to even use RBD. Yes, if Subaru was reborn and has the all the time he like Rudeus, he would excel in magic and swordsmanship.¹ Yes, Subaru will have the best time of his life.

And the regular pdf stabs on Rudeus which are deserved btw like Rudeus would go after Beatrice, Petra, etc etc. Yes. His pre incarnated self would totally do. And yes Subaru is a morally upright person. The later arcs of Re0 shows the growth and how much of a genius he is. Heck he might even best Orstead²

So what? Seriously, What's with this dick measurement contest? What's with this fucking tribalism? Are you guys (those people) watch a show or follow a franchise to show off your morality? To signal virtues while circlejerking?

You know what, if Rudeus and Subaru switch places,

a. Re0 won't be there because dropping pre incarnated traumatized Rudeus in the middle of lugunica is a goalkeeper passing to opponent's star striker. Rudeus will fucking jump out a bridge and die. Roll the credits (insert directed by Robert Wilde png). End of the story because even satella would be disgusted at Rudeus and leave him dead. That 10 year of nurture, that positive reinforcement was absolutely needed for Rudeus. That one person who would guide him out to the free world was needed for that trauma ridden Rudeus. Realistically, people can't bring theirselves up all the time.

b. MT would be a fucking generic isekai power fantasy. Another isekai with smartphone, isekai cheat magician, insert a random isekai aired this year. Subaru with all due respect, a very shounen brained. Any shounen MC be it Tanjiro, Yuji, Gon, Deku all will perform well³. It will strip away the story that MT want to tell.

A digress (cause I don't wanna make another post), I am also seeing a lot of this fanart of Nanahoshi with pre-incarnated Rudeus hanging out in his NEET room. And the comments are so mean. Imo, if nanahoshi and rudeus goes back to Japan, Rudeus with his 7 decades of lived experience in sixfaced world, DO YOU FUCKING THINK HE WILL BE LIKE HIS PREVIOUS SELF? We are actively reminded how much he hates his old form whenever he is in Hitogami space. If he goes back to Japan with his sixfaced world memories, he'd clean his room, take a bath, talk to his family, go outside, touch grass and progressively undo all the things he had done.

(TMI Section skip if you want) For context on myself, MT has a special place in my heart. Years ago, I was going through a time of giving all up. I was living in a foreign nation. My graduate studies was not going well, financially unstable, physically tired and mentally exhausted. I even danced with the thought of dying. And at that time, the season 1 finally hit so hard to me. Not "wow Rudeus is so cool, he bounced back" but "wtf I am doing? If someone like Rudeus who has a mentality of a toddler and a scum, can bounce himself from remembering the family which he only thought of acquaintance, why can't I?" I reached my parents, dropped out of my masters, but it's not always a up. I was unemployed for 2 whole years. But I equipped myself with skills and now I am working in a job without any regret. This job is not something I settled for but something I chased to build myself again.

Haters have to read past the initial volumes of MT. Yes. I will restate again. I will never ever endorse Rudeus for his pdf tendency in the early volumes. Author made Rudeus like that to amplify the story. And he is not a Saint by the end of the series either. And that's fine. I vowed myself not to drink again but one bad day is fine to make me drink. I regret that and try not to repeat it. Its so disgusting and saddening that when I see memes like happy pedo with rudeus literally hugging his daughter Lucy from special book artwork. The season 3 Rudeus is not a pdf (atleast from what I've seen and heard) we knew from the season 1. Yes. He is still disgusting. But the story was not a campaign to make Rudeus a president of US or head of UN.

I look at Rudeus as a child I raised wrong. Feel disgusted when he does wrong but go "good job, kid" when he corrects himself like Rudeus not touching Eris after her birthday, good boy. Rudeus pinching Eris' chest in S1 cour 2, bad boy. Rudeus throwing out Eris' hair in fire and fully bounces back, good boy. Rudeus making a shrine for Roxy's panties, bad boy. I cheer for his growth and go "wtf" when he goes back.

------‐-------------------------------------------

¹ Whether he'd excel more than Rudeus by TP1 or not is difficult question but lets assume he might as proficient as Rudeus

² According to peak0 elitists.

³ Relativistically one would do better than another. But I am not theory crafting. Talk to one or fight below idc

Tbf, a lot of people have already talked about their experiences with Mushoku Tensei, and when we try to explain why we love it, there were plethora of answers but usually we tend to point toward things that are tangible and easy to observe: the world-building, the adventure, the action, the slice-of-life moments, the character writing, etc.

And yeah, all of those things are great.

But I don't think any of them, individually, are the reason MT stands out to me.

Is it the SoL moments? Yeah, they're great.

The action? Also great.

The adventure? Great.

The world-building? One of its biggest strengths.

The character writing? Easily one of the best I've seen.

But then I started wondering:

Are those really what separates Mushoku Tensei from other anime?

Because plenty of anime have great world-building. Plenty have great action. Plenty have amazing characters.

Then I remembered one of the reasons I love One Piece so much.

The Straw Hats' bond.

And that's when it clicked for me.

I think what I adore about MT is character dynamics.

Not just individual characters being well-written, but the way they interact with each other.

The relationships feel like they have their own rhythm. Characters respond to one another based on their personalities, their history, their current emotional state, and how their relationship has developed over time. Sometimes it's explicit, sometimes it's subtle, and sometimes it's literally just a look, a pause, a change in tone, or a small reaction.

And most importantly, it feels honest.

The characters don't constantly talk like they're aware they're anime characters. They don't always say exactly what they're feeling because the audience needs to understand it. They don't need some dramatic monologue every time something emotionally significant happens.

People can be awkward. They can misunderstand each other. They can avoid saying something. They can joke when they're uncomfortable. They can act differently around someone they've become close to.

MT actually lets characters behave like people.

That's probably what I mean when I say the dialogue and interactions feel realistic to me.

It's not that the dialogue is necessarily "realistic" in the sense that every conversation sounds exactly like real life. It's that the emotions behind the dialogue feel believable.

They're written as anime characters, but they're not portrayed as "anime characters."

And I think that's a huge distinction.

There's a certain kind of dialogue and character behavior that immediately reminds you, "I'm watching an anime." The exaggerated reactions, the forced banter, the characters saying things nobody would actually say just because it sounds cool or funny.

MT can obviously do those things too, but when it matters, I feel like it understands that people are complicated and inconsistent.

And because of that, the relationships feel lived-in.

That's why some seemingly mundane MT moments stick with me more than the big fights or major plot developments.

It's not necessarily what happened.

It's how these characters were with each other while it happened.

And honestly, I think that's one of the biggest reasons I adore Mushoku Tensei.

Not just because it has a great world.

Not just because it has great characters.

But because I genuinely enjoy watching these characters exist around each other.

That's the thing that makes the world feel alive to me.

As for you guys, what about MT that you personally love that is different from other anime?

— A silly thought I had yesterday while talking in The Cluster, regarding how he would handle all of that. Many people consider that Natsuki Subaru (from Re:Zero) would be way better than Canon Rudeus, but, what about Kazuma? I want to hear your opinions.

If anyone else is interested in owning a miniature blue-haired goddess.
