Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation 1x22: "Dreams and Reality" // Early Reaction and Discussion

Please please please!! Read Eris' chapter Volume 6 Chapter 13. It talks about Eris' perspective from when she first met Rudy until they parted this last episode. Everything going through her mind and it just gives more depth and character to Eris. Solidified her as my favorite character at this time. Sorry if I keep repeating this in different episodes. I just love your reactions and want to hear what you have to say about this part! It is so sad that they cut it in the anime.

Just you wait. 🐀

Josie Finch

While that is hinted at, the show makes it clear in the next episode. Why point that out now? Its just going to take away from the reaction.

Pretty massive spoiler in here my guy

Person discovering a story with a plot where more than 3 things happen

"hey Rudeus, I know you're not going to accept it understand this, but I feel like I'm overly reliant on you and can't grow into a person worthy of you into I get out on my own, so I'm leaving without you for a while, but it's not because I don't care about you." This sounds like something that someone who is completely emotionally intelligent would say. Eris is the farthest thing from it. 15 is only an adult legally in this world, but that girl is still going through puberty. You are going to an extreme to say that she's purposefully being malicious. Also, Luke's final comment says it all. Eris barely has a 1st grade education and her idolization of Rudy is so strong that she truly thinks that one letter explains everything. You say you understand Eris, but come on. Do you seriously think that she even knows the definition of context?

Meijin_X

Its a combination of Eris being barely literate and her idolising rudy so much she believes he'll understand completely with just what she said.

Luke

The beast-people kink is strong in the that part of the Greyrat family 🤷‍♂️😬

Oh wow this will be the story of a shut-in getting a second chance! Oh wait no this will be story of a magical kid growing in his village. Oh wait this still be the story of the family drama with 2 "wives". Oh wait this will be the story of Rudeus and Slpyhie in their magical school! Oh wait this will be the story of Rudy having to teach a brat and politics to win head of his family. *Turning Point 1* Oh ... oh so all of that is gone now? K so this is the story of a pair in an unknown dangerous area, ADVENTURE TIME BOYA! Oh this is the story of a ragtag team moving up in the guild, I wonder if they will rank up high? Oh wait this is the story of how they will all meet up together! Oh... they passed eachother by?? WTH? Ah the story of deadend's heroic journey, hope they save those furries. *Turning Point 2* Wth as all that about, a God? This will be the story of how deadend gets strong enough to fight Gods! Wait no, all of that is gone now? No Dead end anymore? No nothing? So what is this the story of then? This is the story of Rudeus.

Then you completely dont understand Eris or how she felt. She didn't leave for the reasons you think, also she is so not very good at expressing her feelings and thoughts. She thought she made it clear that why she was leaving, they are "unevenly matched", the turning point made her realize this. But without much more context, its hard to understand what she meant by that.

Fantastic discussion, so many good points, a few things right on the money, some others not so much. Looking forward to your reaction to the final episode, hopefully the OVA and then season 2 (which just got a new trailer! And is releasing next season)

SirMcDust

One thing I ask, whoever it is that reads these and can get the message to Anna and Ben, let them know there IS a post credit scene next episode.

Limbomaster

It's crazy that this is the first time Rudy cryed for real in his new reincarnated life. Not even as a baby or with his reunion with Paul did he cry. Also for how horny the show sometimes can be it was done pretty tasteful here.

GhostPhil

You're almost caught up. Season 2 starts July 2nd so not much of a wait for the continuation. Hope you can continue with the series as it's airing.

Paul

"last thing i wrote at the end of the episode was 'why'?" Coomer brained energy intensifies*... Must... Complete... Harem....hnnnggh.

arr f

Great reaction and commentary, you guys described perfectly how I felt too watching it Also wanted to mention there is a post credit scene next episode. Hope you guys are gonna do weekly reactions when second season starts in july

Jonas

One of the few times that dead silence for a majority of the reaction makes it a perfect one. This episode hit you both exactly how it was supposed to. Really would like to hear where you guys would rank this anime against everything else you've watched after you finish the last episode.

Smiley Pies

"you have 3 characters lovable, a big cashcow of money, and they said fuck you, this is not the story we want to told" I really really really hope you react to season 2 in real time every week in july. You will see everything that was cooked this episode will payoff tenfold.
