It's going to air in 2 months, it's going to be airing once a week for 4 months. That being said, see yas in 6 months minimum maybe 7.
>>288111795Well by season 2 he's more of an adult now so it's fine anyways
>>288111718I'm betting my balls MT will surpass SAO by the end of this decade. Believe it dattebayo
>>288111718Good to see that Slayers is doing so well.
>>288111750>"Guys this 7 year old is so much more mature than his age he is actually an adult!! Trust me!!"That's literal pedo logic
>>288111718Based on that it's the third biggest isekai story considering everything in between it and SAO isn't isekai nor is Apothecary Shartries and A Certain slop series.
>>288111718you can't stop what's coming
>>288111934>binge-watching it instead of watching it during airtimeYou'll miss all the hype.
>"I too wish to see what it's like to fight alongside trusted friends"This 100% confirms to me that Perugius is gonna be spared in the sequel, it was Laplace's dream for Orsted and Perugius to fight side by side against Hitogami.

Just finished s2. Holy fuck the polygamy thing made me cringe so hard. It's very obvious how badly the author wanted to squeeze his fantasy in, felt incredibly contrived
I know OP is just a baitfaggot but unironically this
>>288120086>I hope she doesn't have any illegitimate children running around

>>288109361People cares more about youjo senki and tensura then pedo tensei.>muuhh dad died feel pity for me, is not that he died because i didn't use all my power and didn't want to save my super supportive mother.>muuhh i have erectyle dysfunction, is not that i am a pedo that only gets hard with girls bellow 10 years old.Keep pretending is good.
>>288109361> tfw Studio Pedo is stuck with Hagshoku Cougarsei when then could've been doing another lolicon SOL instead.
>>288124853That's why blue is the only good girl
>>288124705>youjo senkiError 404: Not Found >>288111718
>>288109525I often recommend it by saying "It is one of the few good isekais and the MC is an actual pedo" then say nothing else. That worked on 3/4 friends already, the 4th one is now actively being convinced by 2 of the other 3, 1 of the 3 dropped the show because of episode 4 Paul, but I think he will eventually continue to watch.
>>288118194>>288117678>>288124676Eris never had real female friends until adulthood, and even then they were more rivals than friends in case of for example Lina, so all she knows is how to dominate or be dominated.
>>288111718>genderless slime that everyone wants to fuck is the most sold lnwoah, why am i not surprised?
>>288124995How will they handle the erectile dysfunction arc?
>>288111750>kid does horny thing because kid>ok>kid does horny thing because kid, also happens to remember past life>not okThat's retarded. Let me guess, he should be doing horny shit with adults instead, or condemn himself to 15 years of no action in a new body until he can fuck an adult? Oh fuck off.You best argument for Rudeus being a pedo is the fact he fapped to his 6yo niece taking a dump
>>288125073Two have already finished it, I think it helped that they both watched the ED arc on Discord while I was playing some vidya, everyone was laughing it off, but I don't know if both of them would've gotten through it by themselves
>>288111718>One Piece is shit>Slime is shitNormal fags liking something is considered an insult anon.

>>288124174>no argument
>>288125553because it's just an outright lie. there are only like 3 episodes where it takes the main focus, and his ed is solved halfway through the season anyway.
>>288125073anyone who gets through the actual pedo moralfaggotry is probably not going to have a problem with ED. I mean we have two other high profile anime where the MC's balls are removed
>>288125647>twoWhat's the second one?
>>288125888Dandandan and Chainsawmansure the anime didn't get to it in the latter but I'm sure no one will mind when it does
>>288125647>>288125909You can add Jojolion to that, and make it three.
>>288125468Check the chart number 9.
>>288125909>>288125931But those are all trash.
>>288126018We're talking about normalfags here, of course it's trash
Everything about this show feels like it was made for garden gnome fags. I won't elaborate, if you know you know.
>>288124929Are there non virgins on /a/?
>>288109361My Kang...
>>288109525My normalfag liberal friends all love this series for the exact "filters" I see /a/ bring up all the time.>The MC moving on from being an otaku pedo is based because I hate anime fans>The ED arc is based because you never see anime talk about something so real and mature>The polygamy is based because women should be allowed to be whores
>>288126228but the wives don't fuck anyone besides Rudi (unless you count alt timelines without Rudi)kick out of Aisha though
>>288126278Of course that counts.
Did they already officially translated the volume where Aisha does you know what? I finished the main books, but the Redundant one is just so god damn boring, its just Rudeous having a pleasant married life.
>>288126307It's not in the main series so I'm pretty sure it'll be buried forever
>>288126307You mean the Korean feminist cult propaganda volume?
>>288125468this picture makes no sense and pisses me off
>>288109361>Eris season incomingAOTY I'm afraid.
>>288126803>goes from Tiger-cunt to supportive cheerleader to the self insertI hate when they neuter this character archetype for the plot's sake. I maintain the opinion that Eris wouldn't accept a three way marriage or at the very least would refuse to be in a co-ed living situation or participate in child caring, as that is "a maid's job".
>>288126936>Expecting good writingConsume current wife get excited for next wife.
>>288126289Go back to your containment pen in /isekai/, purityfag.
>>288126936>goes from Tiger-cunt to supportive cheerleader to the self insertEris was already Rudeus's biggest fan and supporter by three-quarters of the way through the second volume. By the end of that and volume, she was head over heels in love with him. That's episodes 7 and 8. Her characterization was defined by her admiration and love for Rudeus for far, far longer than it ever was by her being a violent tsundere. And it's not like she ever stops hitting that motherfucker with he needs it.
>>288127268I came from the One Piece thread, please take your complaints and shitposts there.
>>288127325No thanks. I actually know what One Piece is about so I avoid those threads like the plague to dodge the retarded /pol/ escapees who are illiterate enough to think that One Piece supports their Jew-hating conspiracy nonsense.
>>288126767Pretty sure it's meant to be Rudeus flirting by reminding Roxy and Sylphiette of him drinking their breast milk, while Lucy is understandably pissed at her dad acting like a fucking degenerate.
>>288127342Too obvious
>>288125094>You best argument for Rudeus being a pedo is the fact he fapped to his 6yo niece taking a dumpWell yeah. This objectively makes him a pedophile. What it doesn't make him is a bad character. Rudeus being such a uniquely heinous piece of shit who strives and works hard to become a better person is exactly what makes him great. The wouldn't be half as interesting if he weren't a pedo.
>>288126307>its just Rudeous having a pleasant married life.That's the best part of the story.
>>288127377Who taught her to care about such things, this isn't understandable at all.
>>288125094>taking a dumpThat wasn't what she was doing, you're seeing what you want to see.
>>288127417>Who taught her to care about such thingspic related, Lucy becomes a millisfag just like her sexy demon fucking aunt.
>>288127407But where are the stakes?
>>288127407Wait until you find out sitcoms exist.
>Younger sister fucks little boys>Her older sister fucks Old men
Rudeus is a bisexual icon
>>288127437>Wait until you find out sitcoms exist.None of them are Mushoku Tensei.>>288127429The stakes are what you make them.
>>288127474Sorry.Wait until you find out other anime exist.
>>288127377huge logical leaps and assumptions, pretty sure the artist was just retarded
>>288127481Those other anime still aren't MT, I wouldn't care. More power to you enjoy them as you will.
>>288127437The first two volumes of Mushoku Tensei are literally pure slice-of-life. Major plot beats punctuated by the characters living their lives is how the entire story is structured from the very beginning. It's fine to not like that kind of thing, but you're retarded if you don't understand that fans if the series do. The characters and their interactions are the main selling point.
>>288127548>volumesAnime/Manga website
>>288127548This but the opposite.
>>288127499How is that is a logical leap? We know for a fact that Rudeus gets off on drinking breast milk and the he does so whenever his wives are producing it. Well, Eris might not let him, but Sylphiette and Roxy do. He also likes flirting by reminding his wives of the shit they get up to in the bedroom. He does so on more than one occasion. Sounds like it just don't understand the characters very well.
>>288127576>touristDiscussion of light novels is explicitly allowed on /a/ and always has been. Visual novels are technically against the rules, but no one actually enforces that with regards to series that have popular adaptations like Fate and S;G.
>>288127622Show me where OP said anything about this being an LN thread.
>>288127622Those are not popular they are trash
>>288127638Mushoku Tensei is a light novel, you fucking retard. And even if it weren't, OP doesn't decide what is and isn't allowed to be discussed in a thread. That's not how this board works. Go back.
>>288127646Fate is complete dog shit without a doubt. But it's incredibly popular dog shit. Steins;Gate is okay.
>>288127655No one cares about your dying format. We watch anime here.
>>288127673Try harder.
>>288127677You're just mad I'm not a nerd that spends time reading
>>288127667>trapMore like steins gay
>>288127446Norn and Aisha are the exact same age. Aisha was born prematurely on the same day as Norn.
>>288127706He turns into a girl briefly. In which case...
>>288127673Based
>>288127728I'm shoving you back into the closet.
>>288127718Aisha was still born after Norn making her in fact the younger sister.
>>288127781I feel like this is some shit that only otaku would say because twins, triplets, etc. in anime will talk about which one is the older sibling, but nowhere else in the world is that kind of thing taken seriously. No one instructes their twin as their older sibling just because they happened to be born a few hours later.
>>288127825>but nowhere else in the world is that kind of thing taken seriouslyIt being "taken seriously" is a stretch but I know multiple sets of twins and everyone acknowledges that one was born before the other.
>>288127845Sure, but they don't go around treating one another as the older/younger sibling in the relationship the way you see the Nakano quintuplets unironically acting like Ichika is their elder sister. It's just a fun fact to share. Realistically they consider themselves the same age.
>>288127867Yotsushit worst girl
>>288127894Ninoshit*
>>288109361I was promised an harem with amazing worldbuilding and character development.Instead, I got mexican-soap-opera family drama and erectile disfunction.Wish I could see more of the isekai'd girl and her research, at least she was interesting.
>>288127342>the retarded /pol/ escapees who are illiterate enough to think that One Piece supports their Jew-hating conspiracy nonsenseCan't imagine why they'd think that
>>288128141>I was promised an harem with amazing worldbuilding and character development.You were given this. Your ESL-riddled brain just struggled to understand it, I guess.
>>288128121>Mi-mi-mirakuru MikurunrunNotice the foreshadowing for best girl
>>288128189I was promised fights because that's what the first part of the story is.
>>288128224Miku not winning (and the existence of Fuuka) is proof that Kodansha really will let mangaka working for WSM get away with anything. I have no problem with the ending of 5toubun, but Miku was so much more popular then every other heroine in that series that allowing her to lose was an incredibly ballsy move by Negi and Kodansha. Respect to him for writing what he wanted instead of kowtowing to the expectations of his readers, though. You can't say the guy doesn't have integrity as an artist.
>>288128262By fucking whom? Outside of a free action set pieces, most of the fights in Mushoku Tensei literally occur in the last two volumes of the series.
>>288128278I prefer editors with common sense over "art".
>>288128288>training arc>kidnapping fights>training arc>teleport>demon fights>abandoned>ED fights
>>288128293>I prefer editors with common senseKodansha doesn't really have those. If a work sells well, they tend to let mangaka do what they want (see: Kanokari). And 5toubun did very, very fucking well. It still is, even after the ending. Hence it's literally getting a new anime production.
>>288128310Yes, small action set pieces are dotted all throughout the story. But no one is ever going to sell Mushoku Tensei as an action series. No one who actually fucking knows what it's about, at least.
>>288128350>Entire first part is nunathis mattersYou must hate it
>>288128335>common sense>KanokariAt least there they have the common sense to have the most popular girl win (ending has already been spoiled)
>>288128362Volumes 1 and 2/episodes 1-8 are some of my favorite parts of the series. Hell, volume 2 might be my second favorite volume in general. >>288128378I was saying that they don't have common sense. If they did, they would never have allowed Kanokari to be stretched out as insultingly as it has. But they don't care about that. They just want otakubux.
>>288128409Milking it isn't a common sense issue, they are making a absolute fuck ton of money. Having the most popular girl win is the common sense thing.
>>288109361Diddy Tensei hasn't been cancelled yet?
>>288128461>tourist>gen alpha slangThis website is 18+. Go back.
>>288128461It finished on its own terms got several spin offshad a studio created just to make the best anime adaption (while Berserk can't even get a studio with a budget) and now is getting an S3 and all throughout people been pointing out that the MC would definitely be in a certain islandIt cannot be stopped, it simply cannot be stopped
>>288128492unc is mad seething fr fr
>>288128503>the best anime adaptionI actually believed it until this
>>288127825You can bet your ass that Aisha will have her inferiority be drilled by her own mother at every opportunity because of Lilia's own lack of self-respect. She will always be reminded that she's merely the daughter of a lowly commoner concubine and the youngest and should always heed the words of the legitimate children and so on and that she at best belongs to master Rudeus who is her benefactor and her savior and the greatest being in the sixfaced world and so on. Lilia is loyal, but she is a bad mother who despite loving her daughter, still will make her feel less worthy.
>>288128503Berserk got the studio it deserved, because it's homosexual.
>>288109361>native isekai
>>288128538While all of that is true, Aisha is never treated nor regarded as the younger sister between the two. At least not that I can recall. Lilia's method of raising Aisha had to do with her perception of their difernce in station with regards to Zenith and Norn, not because Aisha was a few hours younger.
>>288128538>girl>inferioritywhere is the lie?
>>288128527I have never seen a work get such a red carpet grade adaption like MT you can say MT sucks but that's just makes the the adaption treatment stand out meanwhile your favorite series got adapted with 2 cents and a dream
>>288128579The point is that she's told she's inferior to her sister, you fucking idiot.
>>288128587Season 1 maybe
>>288128503Studio Binddy quiet quit on it already to produce slice of lollies.
>>288128141Kek, this so much.
>>288125647>anyone who gets through the actual pedo moralfaggotry is probably not going to have a problem with ED.The ED arc was boring as shit compared to what came before it. That's the problem.
>>288127667>Steins;Gate is okayIt's even worse dogshit.
>>288129480Eh, I didn't think it was that bad. The high moments were actually pretty great. But it meanders a lot and the characters and their interactions aren't always interesting enough to keep it engaging.
>>288109361OUR HERO FUARK!!!
sylphiette has the worst development. she just becomes an inferior version of rudeus, permanently loses her special hair color to end up as a generic albino, her parents are killed offscreen without anybody even mentioning what happened to them, she dresses up like a dude twice and wears stupid glasses, is so weak she knows that the best she can do is to stay at home, and in the final battle she only gets to do some pity contribution.

>>288129321Yeah, the entirety of season 2 was mostly filler. I had to struggle through watching the season, that's never a good sign. Literally an entire arc for erectile dysfunction lmaoAlso I'm tired of the character being so retarded and STILL getting everything handed to him on a platter
>>288117678Is that in one of those post canon story LNs? I don't remember anything yuri, just having a 3v1 against Rudy once.
Isn't it kind of confirmed that he was perving over Sylphie and Eris as a kid because he was also in a kid body (specifically his brains and hormones), which also explains why he was acting childish sometimes even though he has an adult mind.He stopped perving over kids when he got physically older.
I hate this show so much and yet I keep watching it. I guess it's like watching trash tv except with cool worldbuilding
>>288129954He stopped perving because he got PTSD from his erectile dysfunction
>>288129954It's less that he was specifically attracted to them because he was in a child's body, and more that his inhibitions were absolutely fucked thanks to his underdeveloped brain. That, coupled with his own preexisting degeneracy, caused him to act on his desires without regard for right or wrong. His attraction to them, however, is primarily a result of him being a massive fucking lolicon in his previous life, which is something that's made clear time and again via his internal monologue. Rudeus likes little girls. There's no getting around that. But as be finally matures in his second life and begins to truly overcome the baggage of his first, he likewise develops the emotional and rational cognizance to understand that just because he's attracted to them, doesn't mean it's okay for him to fuck them. It's a pretty core aspect of his character development.
>>288129983He might have ED, but he was trying to get some "stimulation" every now and then to check if he can be cured by different types of stimulations, not once did he try to get a stimulation from kids to see if they could cure his ED.
>>288130035The soul does the thinking in reincarnation stories, the brain just stores mana.
>>288130054Just because it works that way in some stories, doesn't mean it works that way in all of them. Rudeus having a child's brain is a pretty important aspect of the first several volumes. Specifically with regards to his ability to intake and retain information. It's a key contributor to his ability to learn multiple languages in the span of only two years. It also coincides directly with one's ability to learn incantation less magic in the setting. He just had a leg up in that respect because he had an adult's perspective paired with his developing brain to perfect it in a way that no other human conceivably could.
>>288130089headcanon
>>288130244>the thing that literally gets mentioned in the story multiple times is headcanonOk nigger.
>>288130089>childs brain>sexual attraction I think you're just retarded, he very obviously doesn't have a child's brain even if the author claims so to shield himself from criticism
>>288130342it's the soul age that matters
>>288130483>says actual material from the novel is headcanon>proceeds to reassert his own retarded headcanon You're still not trying very hard.
>>288125178Sure, sure. Back when MT was """""the king of narou""""" and """""#1 in everything""""" popularity was a good thing. But once the MT WN fell from #1 on narou to #3 after being overtaken by Slime's outdated beta-version WN and the Tondemo Skill WN, as well as only managed to be the #9 LN franchise, and lastly see that MT anime S2 was a straight massive downgrade in production compared to S1, all of a sudden popularity and success not only didn't matter anymore, but also turned into a bad trait all of a sudden instead.
>>288130615go ahead and post your proof, oh wait you can't
>>288130615I noticed you conveniently ignored this >>288130364probably because it makes you too uncomfortable, kek
>>288130663I'm not going to bother flipping through a book to find specific passages to placate a retarded anime-onlyfag who will undoubtedly just make shit up to dismiss that evidence. You're not worth my time. :)>>288130694Nah I just didn't notice it because of the retard I was responding to. Though I don't really know what you're trying to suggest with it. Are you insinuating that children can't feel sexual attraction? I'm pretty sure I popped my first boner to a woman with I was like 6 from fantasizing about my 1st grade language arts teacher. So they most definitely can. As for Rifujin writing that to avoid criticism? Wouldn't know. It's certainly possible.
>>288130738I accept your concession
>>288130738>Are you insinuating that children can't feel sexual attraction?Yes, and certainly not to the degree exhibited in the show, namely stealing panties to get aroused by them and molest women >im pretty sure Good for you degenerate buddy, but rudeus did that since birth. I'm pretty sure you didn't pop a boner when you were an infant.
>>288130746It's all yours, sis.
>>288130792>I'm pretty sure you didn't pop a boner when you were an infant.Neither did Rudeus. In fact, it takes several years for his body to actually reach that point, IIRC. He also notes that he's never sexually attracted to Zenith or Aisha. The first person he's notably attracted to is Roxy. Even though he finds Sylphiette cute in a boyish way, he also doesn't ever get hard over her as a child. At the very least he isn't stated to.
>>288130814Zenith or Lilia* But he isn't attracted to Norn or Aisha either, despite trying notice of Aisha's developing body and even noting that he thinks it's weird that he isn't attracted to her regardless of the fact that she's his sister. Family is off-limits to him from pretty much day one outside of the very instant he's reincarnated and notices Zenith's tits. He even laments the he didn't get excited from her breastfeeding him.
>>288130814>He also notes that he's never sexually attracted to ZenithLmao sure. Let's just ignore one of the first things he does is grope her due to ulterior motives (self admitted)>attracted to is RoxyNow remind me again how old was he when that happened Also I would love for you to explain picrelated
>>288130852Nothing to explain that's normal.
>>288130852Rudeus is just a freaky fucking degenerate who has a thing for panties specifically. It is very explicitly stated in the novels that he can't get off to Zenith or Lilia. >Now remind me again how old was he when that happenedBetween 3 and 5. I'm not sure what your point is. I already said that him having a child's brain didn't have an effect on who he finds attractive re: young girls. What it did do is alter his inhibitions and his ability to learn and retain information. He's still the same pervert he was in his previous life psychologically, so if you're trying for a gotcha by getting me to reassert something I've already stated, it's not gonna accomplish much. I don't buy into the explanation the Rudeus is attracted to Sylphiette and Roxy because of his reincarnated brain. He's attracted to them because he's a pedophile.
>>288130891>it's normal to steal panties as a toddler and be sexually aroused by them (at least mentally)One might even consider this statement degenerate and pedophilic
>>288130916Well I guess Roxy is a hebe more than a child, but he thinks of her as a loli so she still fits the bill.
>>288130916If you admit he has the same abilities, perversions and memories of his past but somehow magically a "child's brain", the distinction is meaningless. He obviously DOES NOT have a child's brain, your only Defense of this is "because the author said so"
>>288130927NTA, but as you can tell from my genuine response, we obviously agree. Rudeus is a degenerate and a pedophile. Where we probably disagree is that I think those are aspects of his character that make him interesting. I enjoy seeing him struggle with his own degeneracy and try to become a better person by overcoming them.
>>288130916You don't have a brain yet here you are talking.
stop acting as if you were back on your subreddits, you loser dorks! all of you!
>>288130952>I enjoy seeing him struggle with his own degeneracy and try to become a better person by overcoming them.Correct, we definitely disagree here. I don't enjoy those aspects because I don't really see him struggling with any of this.He is never punished for his degeneracy or perversions, in fact he's rewarded for it. And no, a tsundere slapping him doesn't count, that's what tsunderes do.
>>288130943Children's brains have fundamental physical differences from the brains of adults. The lack of physical development of certain parts of the brain are part of the reason that children don't have a deeply developed sense of empathy, for example. Hence why most young teenagers aren't that different psychologically from a garden variety sociopath. Further, everything that's true in every work of literate is true because the author says it is. But in the case of Rudeus's brain, it's at least rooted in actual science regarding the development of the human mind and body. You can take issue with that if you like. But it doesn't cease being true just because you're a puritanical pussy who's offended that a story includes pedophilia and wanton degeneracy.
>>288130982You lost
>>288130982>who's offended that a story includes pedophilia and wanton degeneracyIm not a all. I don't shy away from stories that tackle these themes. Doesn't even have to be demonizing but can be a nuanced approach. My problem is that MT includes these themes for pure purposes of fanservice and feitishization
>>288130993Neat.
>>288111718>reddit zero has only 1300000 when it had over 50 volthis is fucking pathetic, overlord has maybe only 15 and has more sales
>>288130999>My problem is that MT includes these themes for pure purposes of fanservice and feitishizationWell we're obviously never going to fully agree on this point. Though I'm perfectly happy to concede that Rifujin is very obviously a lolicon. Quite frankly I don't care about the fetishization of fictional characters, though. As long as real children aren't being harmed, it's totally meaningless to me.
two retards fighting
>>288131005Shield Hero having comparable sales is way more insulting to Re:Zero than Overlord. Both of those series suck, but Shield Hero is way, way fucking worse.
>>288131017>loliconWhy are you scared to say pedo?
>>288131046I've used the word pedophile multiple times. As far as I'm concerned, liking fictional little girls makes you a lolicon, and liking real ones makes you a pedophile. Rudeus is a pedophile because the girls he lusts after are real in the context of the story. I have no reason to assume Rifujin is a pedophile just because he's a lolicon, however.
>>288130999Kill yourself. Why don't you fags just tell retards to fuck off instead? It wastes posts or whole threads on this bullshit.
>>288131065He was seriously engaging in good faith, even if he is stubborn (and kind of fucking stupid). I can't sleep so it isn't really any skin off my back to engage in good faith as well.
>>288131065>nooo don't discuss the thing the thread is aboutLmao okAnyway imo it's just a shame MT uses so much retarded bullshit because it had incredible potential. If rifujin wasn't a massive degenerate MT could be a top 3 anime of all time, he clearly has the talent for good worldbuilding and characters.Made in abyss has a similar problem but to a lesser degree, which is why it's better.
>>288131083Faith is for retards
>>288131088Made in Abyss fetishizes children way fucking harder than Mushoku Tensei ever does. Christ, you're the more retarded than I thought. Maybe I was giving you too much credit.
>>288131092Engaging in good faith isn't the same as the retarded kind of faith that Christfags use to justify their stupid religious bullshit, anon.
there is always an autistic retard who has to justify why they keep replying to obvious bait for the umpteenth time.
>>288131110It's worse

>>288131102>>288131148That's why you don't be nice to retards on the internet, broskies.
>>288131144No
>>288131148When you're right, you're right.
>>288131176>he can't I accept your concession
The fact people argue over this inane bullshit is proof the series is poorly written
>>288131202Correct
>>288131194I reject your marriage proposal
>>288131088Reminder that making the MC a pedo is totally fine, but doing an evil parody of an anime hero CROSSES RINE
>>288131202False
>>288131255KekWhat was the backstory on this again? Someone made a super funny shonen parody but it was basically clowning on existing shonen so it made the shonen community seethe incessantly to the point where they cancelled the author?
>>288131274It was the MT author himself that got it cancelled
>>288131088>>288131255Kill yourselves already. We love when protagonists want to fuck little girls. You don't belong near anime and we're gonna help Japan finally fix that.
>>288131298Your guy acknowledges it turned people off to the series
the only thing that's missing is the seething and kvetching about polygamy and the repeated use of the words mental illness while mass quoting.
>>288131320I repeat, we're going to help fix that pathetic shame or guilt for repelling you invasive cancer.
>>288131363Reminder that he said showing parodies of good heroes doing bad things crosses a line, but ripping off good characters in a positive light is still a problem "but not that bad" Probably because he ripped off Rance. and countless other characters.
>>288109361As much as I like the story and seeing it adapted it just kinda sucks it will never be as good as season one was. That season was just a big hold my sake and watch this levels of studio bragging.

I hated the haremshit ngl. It will always just look like the author is just too much of a pussy to commit to one and wants to please his fans without "backlash"
>>288132026every blind person and their dead pets could see that this was going to be a harem series from the getgo.
>>288132070Doesn't change his point. Either you go the based harem route where it boils down to primal conqueror spirit, or you don't do harem at all. None of that "waaah I love you all equally" pussy shit
we're fortunately not in the dark era of the shitty harem-baits anymore, where only one girl wins the beta herbivore eunuch MC-bowl.
My tits are fucking massive
>>288131255 >why aren't people buying my manga-original lawyer isekai? I thought creating isekai is guaranteed free money?! And it got axed around chapter 15?! AIYEEEEEEEEEEEE!>i-is this gastronomy isekai anime adaptation selling more blu-rays than my gambling anime adaptation where girls make silly faces? MASAKA! BAKANA! ARIYENAAAAAAAAI! >I hate isekai now! Here's my genius plan: I'll specifically sign up with a Kadokawa-owned publisher to make a ""parody"" of the most popular isekai with anime adaptations (including earlier mentioned gastronomy isekai) of which the majority are also Kadokawa-owned, and will deliberately do the DISHONOROBU thing and not ask any of the involved authors for permission, I am sure the authors and Kadokawa will love this surprise! It's going to be a masterpiece, what could possibly go wrong? >AIYEEEEEEEE it got axed after chapter 1! It's surely because of that completely UNGRATEFUL ISEKAI AUDIENCE WHO ARE 100% AT FAULT FOR THIS! AIYEEEEEE! I HATE ISEKAI SO FUCKING MUCH! AAAA!
>>288132437Imagine being angry enough to type all this out
Funnily enough I think isekai on its own as a concept is incredible. Doesn't get cooler and more straight forward than a bloke being transported into a different world.What I am confused is how isekai became associated with an absolutely INSANE amount of tropes that are somehow mostly constrained to isekai itself. Namely:>harems>cheats (gaining advantage without earning it)>universe laws heavily tied to rpg gaming and mechanics>medieval setting>neet protagonistI swear if I wasn't busy having a normal life, I'd write an isekai to BTFO them all.
>I swear if I wasn't busy having a normal life, I'd write an isekai to BTFO them all.kek, sounds so pathetic
MT makes incels and femcels drop like flies... How does it do it?

>>288137960No he has a point
>>288137193basically that yeah
>>288109361Finally the show can course correct from the absolutely deranged and nonsensical sidelining toward 'fantasy high school erectile dysfunction ' plot back the main plot of fighting badass things with the sword wife
>>288131017>Though I'm perfectly happy to concede that Rifujin is very obviously a loliconHe is very obviously not. I will never understand this meme, because Mushoku Tensei is the shittiest "lolicon" story ever. Even shit like Fate is better in that regard with prisma illya or jack the ripper. The story has a total of 3 actual lolis + roxy. Two of them grow up in various timeskips, and Rudeus only ever gets to bang them when they're fully grown, because Mr. Pedo and Rapist is also simultaneously happy to abide to an arbitrary promise of "waiting till they're older" as per request of his "victim" and refuses to break it until he gets coaxed into it. Then for the vast majority of the series you have two lolis: Roxy and Kishirika. The latter barely appears in the story, and Roxy is well, Roxy. She is hardly a loli in the truest sense. Then I guess you have Julie, who isn't even part of Rudeus' family and gets a small amount of actual "screentime", and Rudeus makes it very clear he finds the idea of doing anything to her repulsive, plus his children, which are just his children and nothing is done with them.
>>288138166>fightingWho wants to tell him
>Muh good faith>muh argumentsNo one in these bait threads is ever engaging in good faith, it's literally just the same 3 guys spamming the same talking points because they're still butthurt about this series being so popular and successful. How new are you fags?
>>288138196This. I think actual lolicons are mad at MT because they expect it to be for them when it's not.That's literally not a theme.Rudeus's problem is not being a pedo, he's not one. His problem is being a coward.
>>288138266Somehow gets more fame as a "pedophile" and "lolicon" series than Monogatari and Made in Abyss. Despite those two having 10x more lolishit than it, with the author of one being a very obvious pedo and the other doing way worse than Rudeus. Rudeus is unironically a larper. According to twitterniggers and other retards, he is supposed to be a giga pedophile, but the one chance he had to do anything with little girls with no consequence he immediately goes "B-but she asked me to wait till we're adults! So I'll wait, of course" and "Sylphie is too young, we have to wait till we're older!" and "Aisha is my sister, I won't do anything with her that'd be wrong and gross"Doesn't Rudeus know he is a degenerate pedophile? Is he retarded?
>>288117678unless they're beastfolk, at which point, she breaks their ribs by cuddling them too hard
>>288138539How many times does Araragi have to explain that he is not like that before you understand.
When Eris returns she's going to kick those green and blue hussies back to the curb right?
>>288138755>"I'm not a pedo guys!!" >fondles hachikuji for the billionth time>kisses little girls galore>fawns over a child Hanekawa and has to "hold himself back" It's fine, though, because it's a gag.
>>288139191Anon, this is haremslop. The women have no agency and are fine with getting cucked even on a mental level
>>288139299He's not though.
>>288132437Wait, the shitty isekai parody was written by the same guy who wrote Kakegurui? As in the writer of Bouryuko Banzai? As in a series with some of the worst writing of any manga in history, that may as well not have a narrative at all because it's hard carried by its art and literally no one gives a shit about the story? I had no fucking idea his hackery knew such bounds. That's good damn hilarious.
>>288134216Calling out incels and moralfags and mocking their bullshit was part of the fabric of this website before the tourist invasion of 2016, you retarded incel.
>>288139528Didn't know isekaifags seethe about it to this day kekDude really was onto something
>>288139608I think it was pathetic that it got cancelled for the reasons that it did, and that Japan needs to have much stronger protections for things like parody in general. Rifujin's response to it is also deserving of derision. That being said, the one chapter of the manga that actually exists was ass. The idea was funny as hell, sure. But the writer is hopelessly incompetent.
>>288139608You're the one constantly seething about this schlock getting axed. No one gaf about it.
Hate is so overexaggerated and force I can not take any of it seriously, it's just too artificial for anyone who has watched more than 3 anime to have this much of a visceral reaction to one of 100+ isekai.
>>288139191Dogris obeys her matriarch.
>>288130852>Lmao sure. Let's just ignore one of the first things he does is grope her due to ulterior motives (self admitted)nigger he literally says that even though he understands she's hot, he's not actually attracted to her. it's in the FIRST FUCKING EPISODE. what level of lying disingenuous faggot even is this?
>>288109361Holy of Holies. The Chad of chad
>>288140065>screenshot proves that the show is retarded and self-contradicting Well yes. Unless you admit that turned on here just means he didn't get a boner because he's an infant and physically can't
>>288140441You do understand that a character's opinion and feelings on things can be separate from what they recognize as objective reality, right? Or are you an actual knuckle dragging retard?
>>288140441>screenshot proves that the show is retarded and self-contradictingin what way?
>>288140441MT gets world's dumbest haters, I swear
>>288139528Yes, that's correct. That same author also wrote this "isekai barrister" that got axed early.
>>288140527That really is delightful to know. I don't think that manga should have been axed for such petty reasons, but knowing who wrote it is proof that it was never going to be a thoughful or funny parody in the first place. Because that motherfucker is an absolute void of talent. I've read more shitty manga than I could ever hope to count, and he's easily among the worst writers I've ever encountered.
>>288139566This website never approved of normalfags.Normalfags are the ones that use incel unironically.
>>288140916When the incel "movement" became prolific in the late 2000's/early 2010's, we used to lurk their forums and troll them/post screencaps of their pathetic diatribes to collectively laugh at. Mocking forever alone faggots for crying about how unfair it is that they're spurned by women was a popular passtime across every major board on the site. But you wouldn't know that because you weren't here back then, tourist-kun.
>>288140984Yeah, and we were also huge feminists, and supported trans rights.
>>288141022>making fun of losersThey get mocked too, you just don't get it
>>288141022No one have a fuck about traps on 4chan before the 2015-16 invasion you simpering retard. Not outside of a small group of angsty faggots on /v/, at least. You're just outing yourself harder and harder.
>>288141114But I'm agreeing with you.We were hardcore liberals that demanded strong female anime characters and thought l*licons were gross pedos that rightfully should be charged and put on a list.
>>288141114Traps have nothing to do with trannies
>>288141161>/a/ hated lolisIn what kind of bizarro reality?
>>288141342The one that discord sister is living in.
>>288141342He literally wrote "l*licons" kek. Blatantly fucking obvious bait.
>>288141391Mocking a retard by playing along with his delusions isn't bait. My point was that anybody that uses the "We here at 4chan used to believe x" is an invader trying to revise history.
I think that Mushoku Tensei is better than average isekaislop but it's just a midtier series and I don't know where the bullshit that it's the grandfather of isekai comes from.I hate Tensura and think that one is shit.
Let me fix MT real quick, I'll even keep the premise:>pedo gets transported into medieval society Now let's get to fixing >early in his baby stage he realizes his parents think he's possessed by demons and think about drowning him so he learns lesson #1 namely to not be a pervert degenerate >instead of discovering magic hacks, he struggles with learning the language because he's a retard, but hard work and parenting condition him properly until he gets to a decent level >THEN he comprehends magical basics as a teen so they hire Roxy to teach him magic while his dad teaches him swordplay>ultimately he gets sent off because he doesn't progress with Roxy which leads him to his first oneitis breakup >but since he learned to be a persistent hard worker, thanks to his parents, he perseveres with Eris >eris plotline happens (without perversions), he falls in love, they fuck, then magical disaster happens >instead of magical deity autowin, he befriends ruijerd by himself because he learnt lesson #2 from Eris that appearance are not as they seem How do we go from here?
>>288141727>How do we go from here?You take a trip to the hardware store. They sell rope there.
>>288125909eh? didn't denji selling his one testicle happen at the very beginning before he merged with pochita and regenerated?
>>288141751You're already seething, so I must be doing something right
>>288140492MT proving once more it has an IQ filter. Even normalfags pick up on this
>>288141727>How do we go from here?Highest story of the tallest building you can find and out the nearest window.

>>288141883>my headcanon must mean you have to be high iq to understand the show>you see, he's not ACKCHUALLY a pedo You're like Rick and Morty fans
>>288126307Aisha does what? fuck Ars? yeah that was just released.
Can someone explain why aisha fucking ars is considered a bruh moment, but norn fucking ruijerd isn't?T. Animeonly
>>288141727but this is ultra boring?
>>288141727>he struggles with learning the language because he's a retardYou're retarded. Children naturally pick on language like sponges. This has nothing to do with being high IQ or not. And Rudeus has no reason to be mentally retarded. He is biologically the kid of two above average people plus he would have the consciousness of someone older, that already has experience with language-learning. >instead of discovering magic hacksQuestioning things is the foundation of knowledge. That's is only "hacks" for low IQ sheep retards that just take everything at face value. Even if you remove the laplace factor stuff, Rudeus still ends up with higher mana pool than most and chantless casting. >but since he learned to be a persistent hard workerSo just the normal plot of the story, but instead of it being tied to his past life and continuing the theme of the story about him trying to change and fix his past behaviour, you made it so that he has no agency and just passively was taught to be hard worker by his parents. Fucking genius. >eris plotline happens (without perversions), he falls in love, they fuckSince he is a teen by this point, how is the plot going to happen? Why are Eris' parents going to hire a tutor to their teen daughter that they probably either married off already or gave up on? Also, unless you remove that from the story, Eris would be a sword saint, and would likely have no interest in learning anything. And would probably be interested in Luke instead. >instead of magical deity autowinSo you remove the biggest plot twist in the story. But since in this case, Rudeus is a retarded sheep with no agency, he would just be scared of Ruijerd anyway. And there would be no man god to advise him on anything. So this logically makes no sense from what you've built previously. Seriously, never write anything. You suck.
>>288142105lots of spoilers OBVIOUSLY. norn doesn't randomly fuck ruijerd. rudeus along with orsted ponder political marriages for both Rudeus's sisters as well as children eventually given his level of influence in the world. Rudeus discusses this kind of arranged political marriage, and Norn is understanding but apprehensive, until Rudeus mentions it may be to Ruijerd, and Norn lights up light a Christmas tree. At this point in the story, Norn is already an accomplished albeit sheltered adult woman. They get married later down the timeline, and they have a relationship. Yes, Ruijerd is 400+ years old. Aisha literally has a hand in raising Ars, even breastfeeding him, and essentially grooms him into loving her, and she's an adult and he's still an early teen when they have sexual relations first time.
>>288141920>something that is very explicit in the story is headcanon>can't fathom that a character can be written in a way that their thoughts sound contradictory, and that one can have an objective view of things separate from their feelingsFirst time reading something with an unreliable narrator, kiddo?
>>288142129>Even if you remove the laplace factor stuff, Rudeus still ends up with higher mana pool than most and chantless casting.not to mention he applies this knowledge to the dwarf child and actually is able to teach her chantless casting. of course he also applies it to Sylphie but she also had laplace factor so ......
>>288142105probably simply because 25 year old aisha is related to 10 year old ars (and he was groomed by her while young), but 530 year old ruijerd isn't related to 18 year old norn. Rudeus still considers both his sisters to have very unconventional and somewhat controversial partners anyway, though.
>>288142178>>288142227>>288142105and yeah, in terms of our world type of genetic separation, Aisha and Ars share essentially the same amount of genes as first cousins, and it's even worse since Ars's parents are 2nd cousins to begin with, and the Greyrat line already had several layers of inbreeding that Eris and Rudeus and Aisha had inherited down the ancestry tree.
>>288142129I respect how much effort you put into that rebuttal. Honestly though, you should have just joined me and that other anon in telling the retard to kill himself. He can just read TBATE if he wants a sanitized Mushoku Tensei with a boring protagonist.
>>288142178>basically rudeus marries norn off to ruijerd, who also had a hand in raising herThat's just as much a bruh moment tho, lmao
>>2881422622nd cousins are about as genetically distinct as perfect strangers. Especially Eris and Rudeus, since Eris is the daughter of his second cousin (is that a second cousin once removed? I can never remember). You're right about the rest of it, though. Aisha and Ars is undoubtedly the easiest relationship in the series to point at and say, "This is legitimately fucked up."
>>288142305I don't think I agree with Ruijerd having a hand in raising Norn, it's not the same. Ruijerd and Norn's relationship isn't that different than child Rudeus and Ruijerd's relations. Also Norn was 18, which was 3 years adulthood already in that setting. And yes, it's still kind of fucked up and questionable and unconventional, as every character in the story acknowledges, but it's not as much of a bruh moment as Aisha and Ars.
Small correction: If norn is 18, then Ruijerd's 581. He's 569 years older than her.
>>288142129>uhh children pick up on language quickly>uhhh you can question the rules of the universe at age 3 Pick one>So just the normal plot of the storyLmao no. He's a lazy fuck. Doesn't want to go to school, refuses to learn from his dad because he likes learning magic with his oneitis more>how is the plot going to happen?Exactly because they gave up on her and it's a last Hail Mary >So you remove the biggest plot twist in the story.This story never had plot twists to begin with
>>288142305Ruijerd didn't have a parental role toward Norn, though. And he wasn't anywhere as involved in her life long-term as Aisha was with Ars. It's more like a kid having a crush on her babysitter. It's still pretty unsettling, as Rudeus himself is aware, but it isn't even in the same realm of depravity as Aisha literally grooming her nephew from infanthood. Twilight gets rightfully mocked for doing singing similar and presenting it in a romantic light. But Mushoku Tensei actually takes the subject matter seriously, acknowledges that it's fucking gross, and allows its characters to not be perfect.
replying to bait will always make you an idiot.
>>288142381>Rudeus doesn't want to go to schoolMaking shit up to support your argument is a sign of having no real argument at all.
>>288142393>Ruijerd didn't have a parental role toward Norn, thoughWell except that one time he guided them across half the world for like a year >>288142393>muh grooming depravityRudeus basically groomed two of his wives, aisha is babby tier. By that logic they should be a much bigger bruh moment
>>288142381You got assblasted. Now you're just making shit up and pretending to be retarded (I hope you're pretending)Easy win for MTCHADS
>>288142509Neah, Rudeus never wanted to learn swordsmanship from Paul. That's why he kept busting his ass even though he was bad at it, the after beginning to study the Ghislaine instead. Obviously that anon knows this story well and isn't an anime-onlyfag who watched it once when S1 first aired and doesn't actually remember jack shit about the story.
>>288142608It's almost like the story is forgettable slop
Context here, novelfaggs? I read something about but I want to confirm.
>>288142648>OF COURSE he gets his arm back Nothing can ever have any consequences, this slop is sloppier than I thought
>>288142634>violently BTFO for your shitty fanfiction>pretend you never actually cared in the first place to feel better about yourself
>>288142683>healed from a massive hole in his chest cavity>WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE CAN REGROW LIMBS IN THIS WORLD!!! SLOPPA DOPPA DOO!!!!!!!Now I see why you didn't even try to deny being an anime-only tourist.
>>288142683>Nothing can ever have any consequenceslol the fucking irony in giving this response to that image
>>288142648Aisha kidnaps Ars after it's revealed she groomed him and was banging him. Rudeus is pissed off, rightfully so. Then he goes on a massive crusade to find them both. Everyone thinks he is being unreasonable and start gaslighting him. A bunch of his "allies" betray him and help Aisha and Ars escape and stay elusive for as long as possible, because with Rudeus' contacts and resources he'd easily find them both. After a whole year, Rudeus confronts Aisha. She is pregnant, she thinks he is going to kill her because he looked so disgusted and angry at her back then that she was scared of him. Rudeus has a heart to heart, reveals he is reincarnated and brings her back. I think this image is from that moment
>>288142648She hit her pinky toe on a table leg
>>288142634What story?
>>288142745What irony? >>288142767Based off of this there weren't any consequences AGAIN
>Most threads about this are just people arguing about the main character being a pedo and the fans defending himGreatest isekai story btw
>>288142129Typing all this OC spam is proof to me that this series isn't worth paying attention to even as wish fulfilment fantasies. You're supposed to enjoy your fantasies with one eye open, not focusing on the minutia, and the blurry big picture to me is that this is about some fat loser that gets to live out his fantasies and if that's how someone's fantasies look like then I want nothing to do with that person. Will keep coming back to diddy tensei threads to farm kekws though.
>>288143369>diddy tenseiSeeing a newfag tourist repeatedly out themself will never not be funny to me.
>>288143562>(You)s start rolling in
>>288111718based
>>288142767>spoilerah, I see. She deserve it-desu.
>>288143562Rudeus is a diddy ah unc
When even Mushoku Tensei fans are appalled at the pedophilia in the series. You knew we are dealing with some advanced levels of pedophilia
>>288142767Reminder that this franchise was compromised by a South Korean feminist cult.Korean names suddenly appearing in the credits of Japanese media is no coincidence, neither is the bizarre push of the positive representations of adult women grooming and raping underage boys. The cult is directly controlling their own government, and now their pushing their views into Japanese media.The cult genuinely believes that men are less than human, and that you should rape them while they're young to "domesticate" them.
>>288146420The Aisha and Ars shit was written before there was even an anime adaptation you fucking moron. >>>/pol/
>>288146469To be honest, /pol/ wouldn't give a fuck about that, they'd just tell me I'm in the wrong because boys being groomed by women is a good thing.
>>288146528I'm sure they'd be more than happy to revel in your gook-hating conspiracy about Korean cultists taking over Japanese media, though. Go ahead and share it with them. No, seriously. Go back.
>>288146565>gook-hating conspiracyI don't hate them, most of them aren't happy about a feminist cult compromising their government either. I'll drop this since it's off-topic, but I still want to know why you're so quick to call people racist and /pol/, you did it with One Piece earlier in the thread too.
>>288146617You should be happy if he's calling people intelligent
>>288146657I don't get how he can browse MT threads if he hates /pol/shit so much. like 75% of the posters here are always praising it for being "based and redpilled" because it "makes the trannies seethe"
>>288146617>you did it with One Piece earlier in the thread too.>(You)I did no such thing, you dipshit. There's just no shortage of people on this board who are sick of /pol/fags shitting up threads with their irrelevant nonsense; even if a lot of anons have left the sight due to the sheer scope of the infestation. Not everyone who calls out those retards is same person, though. I do recall calling someone a streetshitter and briefly getting derailed into talking about Star Wars in that thread, though.
>>288146779>It was me!!!!At least you are honest.
>>288146779You used the same exact phrasing "x hating conspiracy" It's too big of a coincidence, and I've never seen anyone telling people to go back to /pol/ in these threads that were also fans of MT, it matches your profile too well.
>>288146838I mean I would definitely say some shit like that, but I legitimately checked to the thread to see if I had and I most definitely didn't. And I'd be more than happy to admit to any instance of ever telling /pol/scum to go the fuck back. We need more of that on this board, after all. We shouldn't welcome tourists.
Retarded revisionist invaders need tortured to death. Fucking sick seeing this shit for literally everything.
>>288146879Very well.Out of curiosity are you the guy who talked about 2016 tourists earlier? I'm just curious. I've never seen an anti-/pol/ user that loved this series on /a/. if you don't mind me asking, do you exhibit any other behavior that triggers chuds? Like are you non-white, homosexual, or maybe trans? This could be useful information for me going forward.
>>288141727>Where do we go from here?A beautiful view.
>>288146950I've seen multiple other people tell /pol/fags to fuck off in MT threads over the years. And no, I'm straight, like my penis as is, and so white my freckles get darker instead of getting a tan. Now go back, faggot. >>288146905You will always be the parasite.
>>288147012>I've seen multiple other people tell /pol/fags to fuck off in MT threadsDo you happen any outside of the threads? like in discord or something?>And no, I'm straight, like my penis as is, and so white my freckles get darker instead of getting a tanThat's kind of unfortunate. it would have been really helpful for me if you were. Are you anyone with a somewhat notable online presence, like an youtuber that does videos on the series? Please know that I'm not against you in any way, your existence is actually really helpful to my mission.
>>288147103>Please know that I'm not against you in any way, your existence is actually really helpful to my mission.Why would I help you with shit? You hopped in a thread about a series you don't give a fuck about and started rattling off conspiracy theories about Koreans infiltrating anime because of material that was written well before that series had an anime adaptation to begin with. You're literally pathetic, and you're very obviously a tourist with malicious intent. What's worse, you sound like a fucking Christfag babbling about your "mission". I'm pretty sure I hate you.
>>288147248I'm not religious at all.I just believe a certain poster of these threads is someone I know, and I have been trying to get as much info on him as I can. This person is a full on /pol/fag the hangs out in a discord and sends his drones to shit up threads. he took a liking to this series for whatever reason and I once debated him and said this series is actually pretty leftwing and he called bullshit. I can use people like you making posts about how the series is actually woke, it would be great ammo against him.
>>288147349Not your personal army. Fuck off back to Discord or whatever other hole you crawled out of.
>>288147456I never said you were.Just keep doing what you do.
>>288147474>Just keep doing what you do.Sure thing.
>>288147489Thanks. If you can, try to be more open about how much you hate /pol/ and act like they don't belong in these threads. You don't even have to do it for me.
Soo, the conversation above just happened... Let's pretend it didn't.What are, in your opinion, the main themes and ideas behind Mushoku Tensei?
>>288147983redemption, family, and an honest portrayal of the good and bad in people
>>288142200Not necessarily an "unreliable" narrator, but a narrator that just gets things wrong. Like him initially thinking Roxy is a "growing girl" when he sees her masturbating, when she's actually over twice his mom's age.
>>288124074You mean ED as a narrative concept is intolerable to immature literal niggers? Yeah we know.
>>288129556She hasn't gotten her matriarch updrade *yet*, big whoop.
>>288142105Because Norn and Ruijerd are both adults when the actual relationship starts, and they aren't related.>but Ruijerd is over 500 years old!!!It does not matter. In a theoretical world with long lived races that stay youthful for almost their entire lifespan, that can also crossbreed with other (consenting, of age) races, actual age would not matter.>>288142305I wouldn't really consider it "raising" her. They were only together for about 6 months when she wasn't even 10. Their relationship is more like a kid having a crush on the older next door neighbor who moves away, and they meet again like 20 years later. Still a bit weird, but they're both adults. Mind your own business.>>288142366>but it's not as much of a bruh moment as Aisha and Ars.The one that nobody ever talks about is Lucy and Clive. Good god, why the fuck did they have LUCY get into a relationship with her GREAT UNCLE? Who cares that he's younger, that's just fucking weird.>>288142370Not exactly. He's 566 right after the teleportation incident, and Norn is 4 at the time, so that makes him 562 years older than her.
>>288109558I honestly think its a falseflag. The uglyfuck OP picture posted multiple times is a clue
>>288147983To give people who wasted their life in isolation an escapist fantasy that it can all be redone, this time with the fulfillment and love we never cultivated for ourselves.
>>288147983I think the central theme is accepting imperfection and doing stuff despite it. All characters have flaws, often severe ones, but they are overshadowed by the good they do. Plus, MT makes sure to add all the dirty and ugly parts of real life stories like it typically want to avoid.
>>288148748This is the only real answer, but pseuds will never accept it
>>288142105This nigga thinks that if you ever babysat a bitch and you later fell in love after she passed adulthood that makes it "creepy". This is kike subversion meant for use to send a wary eye toward procreation.
>>288141751BASED
>>288142105>but norn fucking ruijerd isn't?Yes, fucking your own nephew that you personally raised is weirder than fucking a fantasy world demon man who could be considered a young man in his species..
>>288148964>Responding to yourself
>>288148953The retard seething over /pol/ will conveniently ignore this post because it aligns with his narrative.
>>288142683>OF COURSE he gets his arm backYes, and? You act as if him getting his arm back is a buff or something, the Zaliff gauntlet was miles better than his actual arm.
>>288147983Who cares, stop asking questions like this in dog shit threads, you fucking spaz.
testing
I really like mushoku tensei. It saddens me that every single thread on /a/ about it devolves into autistic nigs battling. I've read the web novel, the LNs, the manga, the roxxy manga, listened to the audiobooks, watched the anime, and even played some of the shitty videogames. I would like to talk about it more constructively with others. I enjoy the character development and continuity of relationships throughout the main storyline. But What makes MT special to me is the setting and the lore of the human world. It's one of the most interesting and fresh feeling fantasy worlds I've seen in Japanese slop. The sword styles and their practitioners are a particular favorite of mine. I also enjoyed how the first season of the anime interpreted the descriptions of the major cities.
>>288149159You have to catch the random MT Lore threads that pop up a few times a year to actually have a good MT thread.
>>288149159these threads are fine when its not some bait op inviting shitposters
>>288147983Sir, this is the bait thread. Wait for when the anime comes out
>>288149180I guess i'll have to lurk until then.
>>288149159Once anime airs you'll get weekly good threads
>>288149209nope this is the real thread
>>288149159>the roxxy mangaMan, I love the Roxy manga too, but it's such a shame that it just isn't that good for the entire reason that it should have been good. My biggest gripe with the entire thing, is that Roxy is basically the character that she already was for the first like 8 volumes, and then she turns into the character she was at the start of the LNs over the course of only two volumes, and then the last two volumes are just her time in Buena but from her perspective.And the best part of the last two volumes ends up being Rudeus and his family, and seeing them from Roxy's perspective.
>>288149223I'm excited for the sword sanctum arc and to see Isolte for the first time.
>>288149223LMAO no the threads while it's airing are the absolute worst and always get flooded by discord trannies who fill it with doomposting. the only good threads are ones where the OP doesn't contain the title and is subtle enough that only actual fans recognize it.
>>288149291Yeah it kinda really just doesn't do as good of a job at showing her growth as the novels do with other characters. It has some very cute scenes in it tho. Makes you feel worse about Blaze getting killed like he did too.
>>288149159>also enjoyed how the first season of the anime interpreted the descriptions of the major citiesAnd then it becomes a Spanish soap opera
>>288149393That's just appealing to it's target audience.
>>288149292Anime has a real opportunity of expanding the sword styles. Right now anime onlies that are paying attention probably have a good idea about how the magic works but nothing about the warriors and swordsmen. Hoping the episode(s) early on about Eris covers them and battle aura. >>288149313Not even close to being as bad as this
>>288149393If you are anime only and you only care about the action sure. The whole arc is about him overcoming his fear after repeated rejection. It seems like most people don't realize that Rudy is a pretty accurate portrayal of someone with severe mental issues. He was publicly humiliated, violently killed twice, rejected by the first woman he ever thought really loved him and then rejected brutally again. all before that arc starts. He is supposed to be a fucking disgusting pathetic mental retard overlapping someone else's life. Rudy has thoughts and feelings and acts on things that have nothing to do with his previous life and its talked about several times in the book. It's not a redemption story and it's not a self insert power fantasy. I think Magonote is actually just big brained and wrote a good story. >>288149509we have the one scene of ghislaine using long sword of light and blowing rudy's fucking eardrums out. But yeah you are 100% right that this is a chance to explain battle aura in a way i feel is lacking even in books.
>>288149561>Rudy has thoughts and feelings and acts on things that have nothing to do with his previous life and its talked about several times in the bookAh, so you believe in this particular headcanon.
>>288149561>it's not a self insert power fantasylol, lmao even
>>288149595>>288149599
>>288149620yfw the plastic surgeon goes overboard
>>288149620>I have no argument, better post something from my gay husbando folder
>>288149327>It has some very cute scenes in it thoYeah, but most of them are in the final two volumes and involve her and Rudeus. I wanted to care about the other characters, but aside from the sleepy possessed fat girl, none of them left any real impression, and the few that did just felt like ripoffs of other characters. Like the beast girl who was clearly a stand-in for Linea and Pursena.
I liked it at first but after university it gets boring.
>>288149509>Anime has a real opportunity of expanding the sword styles. Right now anime onlies that are paying attention probably have a good idea about how the magic works but nothing about the warriors and swordsmen. Hoping the episode(s) early on about Eris covers them and battle aura.Yeah, I just really hope they don't do more than one full entire episode focused on it. More than one episode's worth of content would be ideal, but like, only please one episode being ENTIRELY Sword Sanctum stuff. Spread it out, please god, spread it out.
>>288149637bonesmashing then casting healing magic on yourself to get results faster >>288149653who said i was arguing?>>288149673are you mexican?
>>288149712>who said i was arguing?So you just made a pointless post because you felt like it.
>>288149673literally the best parts of the story are after the academy arc.
the university was always going to be the worst arc, which is why the director for season 2 part 1 threw the towel after working on it.
>>288149712Anti-/pol/fag will also ignore this post calling someone a Mexican because this dude supports his queen's discord.
>>288149727yes and I will do so again in the future
>>288149730Name 5 good life or death battles after that point.
>>288149673It was the opposite for me. I liked the character building moments and disliked the RPG nostalgia slog early on. Then people told the next arc was shit and I was dreading it, then I ended up enjoying it. Then the next arc after was really good and the next one even better, and even when it got formulaic every arc managed to deliver something good. Even the dungeon diving, which I thought would be more "look it's just like muh rpgs!!" slog ended up being good because by that point Paul and even Elinalise are genuinely good characters and the volume was overall really good. Shame the anime butchered it.

>>288149926Him is considered the opposite of her, known for having higher strength and intelligence.
>>288149509They will probably do this, although I feel like the anime already did a sort of introduction to the three major styles.In S1 you have Gallus the north saint and we see how he fights by utilizing his surroundings, using whatever is available in the environment even a hostage and that’s like the basic of basics of the north god style.In S2 we see water god style being used in the labyrinth and how it’s able to reflect spells.For sword god style Ghislaine introduces it when she does the signature move of that style although the anime changes it up a bit.Basically all three styles have already been introduced on a basic level. All that’s left is to expand on it and also introduce touki which is the most important bit.Sword styles by themselves aren’t anything revolutionary they just allow people to utilize touki in the most efficient way.Sword God style- iai/quick draw autismWater God style- aikido with swordsNorth God style- not really a sword style more like a philosophy of using any means to win, taken to the extremes in a fantasy world thus the most based and innovative
>>288149926ACK. the mentally ill yurifag who haunts /a/
>>288150108I thought he hated this show though
>>288149956>>288149993This kind of reminds me of something. I remember I was re-reading volume 14-15 and I remember Rudeus was talking about his magic armor and one of the things he says is that it moves about as fast as a supercar, and it has the same capabilities as an emperor. Why doesn't Eris and other emperors/kings just run around everywhere? It's probably much faster and efficient than using a horse or carriadges, unless MT horses can also run as fast as cars. Even when Eris was in a rush to go after Rudeus she chose horses. Also how the fuck can sword fags zoom around at lightspeed? I guess it must just be an exaggeration and the LSOL is just "unknown impossibly fast speed"
I'm an anime only fan.If it happened in the novel, it didn't happen and isn't canon to me. Simple as.
>>288150127Because they'd get tired. Moving that fast is physically exhausting. Rudeus can only do it in the magic armor because he's not really moving his arms and legs all that much, he's just manipulating it with mana.And yeah, Horses in MT are larger and have much more stamina than horses in the real world. When they were going through the Millis Continent, Elinalise, Roxy and Talhand never stopped, even to rest.
>>288150086True. But magic has a lot more screentime thanks to Rudeus in the anime. By around season 1, in the books, you already had a full idea of how the styles worked. I hope they dedicate a few episodes at least to Eris, the styles and Battle Aura. Ideally, I hope they actually bother explaining the full capabilities of it because even the LN kind lacked that. Like, seeing some anime original scenes with Auber + the water god would be kino. I feel like the LN never fully showcase that these guys running around with swords are basically as powerful or more powerful than people that can create explosions and tornados from nothing. The only one that felt that way was Orsted and Alek/Badi fiddled with it a bit.
>>288150086if you remember the first things we see is paul doing a north god all fours run like a dog move and then a north god guy throwing his sword. The big thing this season is going to be Auber teaching Eris north god and Reida/isolte teaching her water god. we are going to see a lot of sword instruction with exposition. >>288150127because they still get tired doing it. If you remember Ghislaine was able to cross the city of Roa in the span of minutes but she still road in carriages. The sword sanctum is a month from Sharia by horse. A swordmen is not going to RUN full out for a month. The answer to your spoilered question is that only the tip of their sword is supposed to move at or faster than light but it doesnt show well in anime form and so they changed that by having one artist dude autistically solo animated by hand the scene with ghislaine using it in season one where the color drains and the sound stops followed by the shockwave and return to real time.
>>288150160The sleipnir horses the trio bought still had to rest at night, though.
If Paul really stole the party funds when he left with Zenith, then yes, he's definitely scum. Like seriously, he would definitely deserve to be skewered by the rest of the party for pulling that shit.
>>288150201>The big thing this season is going to be Auber teaching Eris north god and Reida/isolte teaching her water god. we are going to see a lot of sword instruction with exposition.honestly, I can't wait for this callback. this was the most fucking hype moment in the Orsted fight, calling back to both the sword throw and also Orsted just watching things he doesn't expect instead of actually reacting to them like he should>>288150261What? No. He just disbanded the party and that pissed everyone off because he said he specifically didn't want that to happen after fucking Elinalise and Ghislaine, because he claimed he wanted to be an adventurer forever. It's all in the extra stories, but they actually referenced said extra story in Volume 22 of the manga.
>>288150187people also forget or don't understand that Rudy, Sylphie, and Roxy are in the like top 10 most powerful mages in the world. Most the the characters who we see that are A or S ranked adventurers an magicians are extremely powerful mages compared to the rest of the world. The implication for the sword schools is that there are other emperor class dudes out there. The implication for the magic styles is that it's really rare and someone as powerful as Roxy basically only comes around every couple generations. Rudy and Sylphie are freaks.
>>288150289I think Orsted's arc is going to make a lot of people apologize for shitting on the sylphie romance arc. It's simply the best part of the whole series and its 2 months away.
>>288150160>>288150201>Because they'd get tired. Moving that fast is physically exhausting>Because they still get tired doing it.Didn't even consider that. I'm retarded. I guess it's possible that their superhuman stamina allows them to run faster than a human for as long as they can but if they go "top superhuman speed" it gasses them out just like normal human top speed. Also, the world is probably bigger than earth in surface area right? Rudeus does say the whole thing about distance between paris and las vegas but he is just talking out of his ass. Just going from the sword sanctum to Sharia (within the same region) took Nina, at likely full speed with no constraints, 3 months total from what I remember. >If you remember Ghislaine was able to cross the city of Roa in the span of minutes but she still road in carriages>the tip of their sword is supposed to move at or faster than light but it doesnt show well in anime form and so they changed that by having one artist dude autistically solo animatedTo be fair, I wasn't even considering the anime. Ghislained was not going at supercar speeds, no fucking way. She literally crossed nearly the entire town while Rudeus was suspended in the air. That's probably way beyond mach speeds. Also yeah, the scene with LSOL was insane. But in the book I never got the impression it was that fast. And though they say "tip". It seemed to me they actually did some form of "flash stepping", cause I remember when Eris and Rudeus train in volume 16, I think, Eris manages to cover the distance between her and Rudeus so fast he can't even see her with his eye. Unless Rudeus just decide to fight in close quarters with her then she somehow managed to run at him and hit his shoulder faster than his perception. But that doesn't require lightspeed
>>288150345I think he said Asura is bigger in land mass than all of the landmass on earth put together. but also magonote's calculations for distance and money conversion rates and shit are retarded. I thought sharia and the sanctum was a month but you might be right that its three months. I know that everything is super far apart. I think the tip is going light speed but their "flash step" is going really fast. She is able to out pace rudeus's eye of foresight only after mastering LSOL and becoming a sword king.
>>288150309Honestly, I feel like one of the biggest things the anime is missing from the LNs is perspectives other than Rudeus. We get plenty of instances showing how strong Rudeus is, but we never get to see other mages. Like, the closest we get to other mages (outside of Roxy, who is also absurdly strong) are Cliff (who had never had real combat practice prior to his one battle that we're shown) and Timothy. And since Counter Arrow was a relatively competent party, Timothy was able to do his role and look relatively competent for his skill level.The only indication whatsoever that the anime has that someone even on Roxy's level is rare is Paul saying this in Episode 4. I know technically Sylphie is a Saint level Water caster as of Volume 13, but the fact that she could potentially also be a King level Water caster WITH silent casting would put her in the top 3 magicians of the world after Orsted and Rudeus, and that's just fucking insane to think about if you're an anime-only.>>288150411>I thought sharia and the sanctum was a month but you might be right that its three months.IIRC it took Nina a month there and then a month back, and it took Eris & Ghislaine a bit longer because they tried to take a shortcut and got lost.
>>288150455don't forget that sylphie is advanced tier in all forms of magic except fire before they even graduate. She can voicelessly cast every form of magic and she can do advanced healing voicelessly while having the second largest mana poole of relevant characters. She is one of the only characters that remains a theoretical serious threat to Rudeus. She could set both of them on fire and then heal her self and he could not heal himself because his lungs would be burnt. Sylphie showed that she is willing to do exactly that kind of tactic to win. During a fight with lenia and percina she intentionally blew out her own eardrums to counter their vocal magic howl. also sylphie and rudy become king class officially in novel 13 chapter 6 which is at the earliest part of the coming season.
>>288150411>I think he said Asura is bigger in land mass than all of the landmass on earth put together.Do you know the volume? That's massive. But it does make sense, considering it was a basically a supercontinent that split
>>288150557I don't know the exact moment that it's mentioned i think its leading up the the fort karon. They are talking about the political situation in the king dragon realm and how Ariel is manipulating it and i believe that is when rudy make the comparison in size. He says something about how Asura is so huge but its like all forest and grassland with massive amounts of natural resources and basically impossible to invade.
>>288148755>accepting imperfectionLmao>dirty and ugly parts of real life storiesLmaoAre MT fans this deluded?
>>288150552>also sylphie and rudy become king class officially in novel 13 chapter 6 which is at the earliest part of the coming season.No, Sylphie never becomes King tier *on screen*. She ran out of mana after failing Cumulonimbus once, then doing it successfully, and then during Lightning. She most likely could've done it after a few more tries but we don't get an actual confirmation one way or the other.
>>288150630They took Cheat Slayer as a personal attack just because it had a rapist in it, so yeah.
>>288150669You are right, Im re-listening to it right now and I misunderstood because rudy said "after my successful attempt, she'd given the spell an attempt aswell" I thought she had failed then gotten the spell the second time.
>>288150455That’s not quite right, humans due to lifespan don’t have many good mages in general. I guess I should specify elemental mages but they definitely make up for that due to how Millis folk excel in things like barrier magic and certain fields which they have monopolized and don’t really need large amounts of mana to be efficient(they’re not even allowed to teach those above certain level in the magic academy because Millichad crusaders will pay them a visit and burn the place down) and we see Cliff is an absolute MVP in the final arc and we see that magics Millis folk excel at is very effective vs immortals especially when it comes to sealing.Like even the Templars, despite not being anything special they were able to seal Rudeus’s magic until of course he summoned the magic armor. I mean even if he was holding back it’s still effective on Rudy’s caliber which means they will just decimate almost any other mage.Also Roxy by demon standards isn’t really that strong either tbqh but she is very competent. As for actually strong mages that would be guys like Moore.Speaking of Moore we’re finally going to have a mage vs mage showdown in the anime next season where Rudeus isn’t just one sidedly demolishing another mage and they keep countering each other with different magics, hopefully they allocate enough resources, we need some grand eye candy when they animate Rudy vs Moore.It’s one of the few showdowns where we see pure magic exchange.
>>288150345>took Nina, at likely full speed with no constraints, 3 months total from what I remember.I'm pretty sure it was like a month to six weeks on horseback. Somewhere in that ballpark. I don't believe it's ever explicitly stated that she did so at top speed with no brakes, though. That's how you kill a horse, and Rifujin is fully aware of that given the he goes nominally in-depth about the capabilities of horses in the series.
>>288150309>Rudy and Sylphie are freaks.It's a damn shame that the anime didn't show 11-year old Sylphiette killing dozens of trained assassins to protect Ariel's entourage on the trip to Ranoa, before showing up at the University of Magic and promptly wiping the fucking floor with its top dog (and cat) and all of their lackies singlehandedly in no time flat. We're told how strong Fitz is supposed to be in the anime. But the light novels really show us that Sylphiette is built different. Had she not been pregnant, that Hydra fight would have been a walk in the park.
Things I wanted to see regarding combat: >More about Battle Aura generallyWhy Eris has basically jobber durability but Alek can face tank swords of light with zero damage, or Atofe has basically impenetrable skin?How increased is their stamina (Ruijerd can travel by foot for days without rest, is that the standard?) How fast can they actually can run (seems like about 200km/h, but then Rudeus just took this number out of his ass). How fast their reaction speeds get (Swordfags can react to speed of light acceleration, Orsted, Alek and maybe Atofe could apparently dodge lightning)? How much can they lift? Why isn't there more battle aura fist only martial arts if Orsted and OG dragons could literally replicate weapons with their claws (Orsted doesn`t even have claws)? How high can they jump? This one is weird because Badi takes a papercut from the LSOL with a real sword, but got absolutely destroyed from standard fall damage.How much protection battle aura offers, exactly? iirc they explain volume 12 Elinalise didn't feel the heat from the desert. >More about esoteric uses of battle auraCan they slash at distances (seems so)? Can they use it like a "force push"? Can they create momentum mid air? Can it be reinforced at one point to tank a stronger attack that you normally wouldn't be able to? Can they create an "AOE" attack? Can they "explode" their battle aura (iirc it was implied that was what Laplace did)>How exactly the sword styles work individually. Like, why are their techniques special or specific to their styles. >More about the water god style. Seems like one of the most OP styles considering Rifujin has said it can parry basically any magic by diverting the flow of mana itself. >More on non-standard magic (like the stuff used in old dragons tale) e.g. the "godbeam" Orsted uses in vol 15. It's also used by the demons in ODT, what the fuck is it? >Rudeus fighting CQC with the "dragon god style" Orstes taught him with the MK2
>>288150289He definitely stole the parties funds as well, in Paul Gaiden.
>>288151865>Why Eris has basically jobber durability but Alek can face tank swords of light with zero damage, or Atofe has basically impenetrable skin?Atofe and Alek have the immortal bloodline? They’re tough as shit in general. Also Alek is buffed by Kajakt and Rudeus mentions in the LN that lightning had no effect on him due to the gravity sword.>How increased is their stamina (Ruijerd can travel by foot for days without rest, is that the standard?)Ruijerd is of the long lived race and the longer these guys live and the longer they train the more monstrous they become.>Why isn't there more battle aura fist only martial arts if Orsted and OG dragons could literally replicate weapons with their claws (Orsted doesn`t even have claws)?ODT already answers this.Pure Dragon people were/are scaly humanoids with wings. Their entire body functioned as a touki organ. By channeling touki into their wings, they generated an anti gravity field that let them float. From there, they used their wings to glide, effectively allowing for controlled flight. If they channeled touki in their firsts they became like canon balls and if they channeled touki in their nails it became like knives. Orsted is just using the unarmed fighting style of the dragon folk+incorporating other techniques in that.As for why other races can’t do that, because they won’t be as effective. Which is why they use swords and other tools to use touki whereas Dragon folk have a biological advantage.> Can they slash at distances (seems so)?Reida sets up a barrier where she can slash anywhere and sword of light of course can easily cut mid range.>Can they "explode" their battle auraThat’s not what Laplace did. You should read the LN it explains how Laplace’s soul got split. It’s thanks to the fighting god armor which sabotaged his technique.
>>288152004Alek is like, 1/4 immortal. Is the difference in natural durability so high that even a 1/4 immortal with battle aura stacked means he goes from jobber durability to impenetrable skin? Like, what actually is the effect of battle aura? Because Eris can still get pierced by normal projectiles like kunai thrown, which would basically just mean she has "normal human durability". So you could infer that the battle aura has a negligible effect on one's durability. Or maybe... Sword God Style users simply don't learn to use it defensively? See? The issue isn't that the story gives no information, is that the information isn't as ample as the magic system. With the magic system the story gave enough information you can basically easily picture how everything works, the limits etc. With battle aura, things are highly elusive or seemingly extremely dependent on these wide range of things. The same applies to the Ruijerd example too. >Orsted is just using the unarmed fighting style>As for why other races can’t do that, because they won’t be as effective.This quoted part is what I'm interested in. Orsted looks more human than dragon, but his hands are as powerful and sharp as any weapon just like the full blooded dragons. I understand Orsted is technically an outlier due to the godly bloodline, but surely his "techniques" can be explained and be used by other people to replicate these effects to some extent? Like, North God Style users would greatly benefit from a unarmed style that can basically turn your hands into a sword. For Orsted, this is basically turning his hands to be as powerful as the "unbreakable" magical swords, but maybe for a saint + dude it's basically like the average steel? >Reida sets up a barrier There are other instances, but this is never set up properly. You just see the person do it and accept it it's something they ocasionally and randomly do>That’s not what Laplace didI'm talking about ODT when he blew up the mountain
>>288152004>Can it be reinforced at one point to tank a stronger attack that you normally wouldn't be able toThey can and not just that either Eris is able to beat Nina and earn the Sword King title by adjusting her touki into speed while lowering the attack power of longsword of light.>How exactly the sword styles work individually.Sword god style was created by a dude who’s every slash was incredibly fast they just reverse engineer’d that and the whole style is about being able to reach that stage which is why sword god style doesn’t have many techniques it’s just practicing longsword of light until you can reach that level. Basically just swing sword fast unga bunga until you can swing sword even faster and then even faster than that, that’s the entire style >north god styleBasic techniques in terms of using your environment are the same but it diverges starting from King.For example the little hobbit uses disco ball armor and by reflecting the sun is able to blind people while utilizing his incredibly tiny build to fuck people up whereas auber uses circus/trickster techniques, Alek purely utilizes Kajakt and is the best magic sword user+ matches up well with this biological immortal bloodline etc. So other than the environment they start using their physical traits, quirks +different tools to affect the outcome. Starting from around King level their unique quirks affect how they want o utilize that to their advantage so while it might feel chaotic the core principle is still the same.>water god style It’s about countering but that style was not meant to be used that way. The person who established it used magic to attack(they were pretty strong too freezing the entire sea ) and water god style was used defensively to counter anything and everything from physical to magical attacks, so it used swords and touki as a defensive technique while attacking with magic,style has changed over the years and now there is no longer any magic involved.
>>288152144>Orsted looks more human than dragon, but his hands are as powerful and sharp as any weapon just like the full blooded dragons.ODT also answers this.He is a demigod born from a dragon god father and daughter of the human god. His hands are as powerful because he is of the dragon bloodline. Of course having human blood he lost his wings but his biological functions in terms of being dragon race aren’t lost. A demigod’s blood is not diluted to a degree that he can’t use dragon techniques.For example Alek is Atofe’s grandchild and the blood there seems way more diluted, let me find the quote.
>>288152234Here it is, so I should say Alek is not really immortal either because the blood has been diluted. But he can live for quite a while and is pretty tough. MUCH more tough than normal humans, even buried underground he can’t be destroyed.
The only two fans of this series left are having a deep discussion ITT
>>288152278So basically to answer your question about Alek it’s a major yes.>Alek is like, 1/4 immortal. Is the difference in natural durability so high that even a 1/4 immortal with battle aura stacked means he goes from jobber durability to impenetrable skin?As you can see it’s not only the impenetrable skin he can survive BURRIED underground. K2 really lucked out when he banged Atofe.
>>288152156>>288152234>>288152278I could keep going continuously asking questions about this stuff, but will get boring and repetitive and I feel like I've gotten my personal issue across. The main point I think is that a lot this stuff is basically highly speculative (minus obviously the history of how these styles came to be), and you kind of have to accept when a battle aura "guy" does something and just assume it's some "special technique" or due to their bloodline, and battle aura almost feels like a proper power system separate from, but equal to magic, it just lacks the same amount of information and "how it works" that magic had. Which is a shame, it has a lot of potential and cool stuff even with the info already given, I just think Rifujin didn't see much point in developing it too hard when the MC is a mage that can't even tap into it so he just kind of gives some pieces of info here and there just so you're aware of threat level and strategy. To I guess "substantiate" my point, if you read early WN Q&As, Rifujin generally change his mind a lot, often times he gave answer to stuff that later contradict what he wrote (so he just change his mind mid writing), with battle aura it seems pretty constant he didn't know exactly what he wanted to do with it.
They're going to skip most of the vol13 SoL and I won't have my dose of cute Roxy scenes I can feel it
>>288152325>The main point I think is that a lot this stuff is basically highly speculativeits not really speculative at all Rifujin has a writing style where he tells you about it using different characters and different events. He’s not going to dump every single lore bit that’s what boring authors do.But then again>>288152278 this basically answers your question regarding Alek I don’t know what more he has to do to spell it out.So while I could keep going and keep answering your questions with quotes from the novel. I will say that the majority of your questions are answered in the LNs.That’s the beauty of MT where Rifujin is autistic enough to include answers but he doesn’t spell it out for you like third rate authors do. That’s where a lot of authors fall into pitfalls when it comes to worldbuilding.
>>288152355And finally before I go I’ll make this kind of cheesy comparison>Martin author of GOT famously noted that Tolkien ends his story with "Aragorn ruled wisely for a hundred years". Martin, preferring gritty realism, asks: "But what was his tax policy? And what did he do with all the orcs?"See the funny thing about Rifujin is that he clearly does think about the “tax policy.” He thinks about the institutional logic of his world, the incentives of rulers, the geopolitical balances, the social consequences of magic, the integration of races, the functioning of noble systems, and even demographic issues after catastrophes. The difference is that he rarely foregrounds those mechanics as explicit exposition. Instead, he embeds them into implication, side conversations, world behavior, and long-term continuity.So unlike Tolkien, who often abstracts governance into mythic closure, and unlike Martin, who interrogates governance head-on, Rifujin operates through accumulation of inference.
>>288152355I have no issue with infering things from context and clues, you can do that with a lot of magic stuff. I personally don't think the same is doable with battle aura to the same extent where you can cleanly map out how it works like magic. Continuing with the Alek example, it implies that his durability comes solely from his bloodline, or at the very least, the effect of battle aura is negligible (based on what he is saying plus context clues from other instances). Honestly, I don't even think that the "I'm tough" is refering to his skin being impenetrable, more so he is specifically saying he is hard to kill because of the immortality. But that's beside the point. Anyway, Eris can get pierced by throwing knives, Rudeus even assumes if Eris got hit by a sword of light like Alek was getting hit she could die. Alek was just tanking all of it. He basically gave zero fucks and the dudes were just breaking their swords on his face. So why such a difference? Alek IS stronger, but not by a astronomical amount. And getting hit with a lightspeed sword swing is a big deal, that's some serious defense power. Here you can come up with various reasons, but the truth of the matter is, the fact that multiple equally reasonable explanations can come up is the issue. Because if there was more information to battle aura mechanics to the same "density" as magic, then there would be a certain answer. For example: >"The Sword God Style uses their battle aura solely for increased speed and attack. They don't rely on defense, but instead on evasion and killing your target before he attacks you. On the other hand Alek (or maybe North God Style users) generally is/are more versatile and can cleanly manipulate it to increase their defense at will." It doesn't matter how this piece of information is built up. Maybe in volume 3 there is one piece, volume 13 another, volume 25 another, then you join them up and come to that full conclusion. This is fully doable with magic.
>>288152455>See the funny thing about Rifujin is that he clearly does think about the “tax policy.” He thinks about the institutional logic of his world, the incentives of rulers, the geopolitical balances, the social consequences of magic, the integration of races, the functioning of noble systems, and even demographic issues after catastrophes. The difference is that he rarely foregrounds those mechanics as explicit exposition. Instead, he embeds them into implication, side conversations, world behavior, and long-term continuity.A random village in GOT probably has more "world building" than the entirety of the six face world.
>>288141727
>>288152550You lost bumpslut. Your attempt at making MT look bad failed again. Martin is a hack. Rifujin rules. For one the fat fuck couldn’t even finish his story and it was bastardized the show completely demolished any legacy he could live behind. That’s the end of all hacks, good author like Rifu are clearly different as you can see they will get faithful adaptions do you know why? Because they FINISH their stories.
>>288152515Just to end this train of thought: Here, you can come up with different explanations. Maybe Alek can do what you said before, but with the defense power: >"[...] by adjusting her touki into speed while lowering the attack power of longsword of light."This is one possible explanation. On the other hand, could be argued that his immortal blood makes him just naturally tougher, but then it leads to more questions: What is battle aura doing then? How much it is enhancing, if at all? Based on the Eris example, a human emperor sitll has generally human durability. I don't think Eris could tank a king-tier attack (assuming she is a strong as an emperor). Then it puts other stuff into question. Why does "Holy Dragon Battle Aura" matter for Orsted? If what matters is bloodline, what does this even do? If it does do something what is it? Questions, questions, questions. Each has a an array of very possible answers. I dislike that, personally. Then you have other contradictions: Badigadi is generally really tough, true. Then in one chapter where he and Geese drop down a deep hole to retrieve the FGA Badigadi gets obliterated by the fall. I'm not a fan, because Rifujin clearly can write a proper power system, it just seems to me he didn't know exactly the direction he wanted with the battle aura stuff.
Best thread on /a/ right now. All hail the king. Ave MT.
>>288152579Yeah, Yeah. Rifujin finished shitting out his diarrhea completely. Therefore, said Diarrhea is a superior work of art, kek.
>>288152601>better worldbuilding>better characters>better character interactions >better fights>no nonsensical plot only realistic developments like EDMartin lost
>>288152601LMAOOO.
Bro did you even watch last season of GOT? Academy arc which is supposed to be the lowest rated MT arc mogs that shit.
>>288152601Top kek. MTcucks are embarrassing.
>>288152579>>288152600Why are DT fans like this?
>>288152579>For one the fat fuck couldn’t even finish his story and Same with Rifujin.
>>288152638More like there seems to be a detractor melty because they have no arguments. How can MT chads keep embarassing you guys like this? GOT is definitely the inferior series especially the show but you would think they would be able to defend it a bit more.
>>288152579>muh boogeymanFunny how people like this suddenly come out when American hours start.Probably people that get so offended at people calling the MC a pedo. I couldn't imagine why that would be a sore subject for burgers.
>>288152676You really need a woman, G.
Martin's turning points mog Rifujin's.
>>288152683There’s an easy answer for people who call MC a pedo we already figured that out a few threads ago.You see the deathcult absolutely hates the idea of people forming families and having children. the entire political purpose of the lgbt movement is designed to normalize childlessness. western birthrates are below replacement level not because 'rich people in first world countries prefer to have less kids' but because our entire society has been slowly but intentionally propped up to discourage reproduction.people think sex is for enjoyment, for fun, for recreation. Both the state run school and the popular culture constantly reinforce this by implying that sex is about 'love' or 'enjoyment' when in reality its suppose to be about reproduction. You are taught from an early age that you should always 'use protection' as if a baby was some kind of illness or disease and if you some how 'have an accident' and make a new life, you are suppose to instantly consider killing it.If MT was about some loser reincarnating into a fantasy world and just having a harem with 3 chicks, nobody would give a fuck. But Rudeus dares to be a responsible loving husband and father and thats dangerous for our democracy.So we’re not really worried about that.
Are there really Mushoku Tensei fans that consume non-Japanese media? Because that's kind of surprising.
>>288152727Anti-/pol/fag will conveniently ignore this post.
>>288152601
>>288152676GOTchads don't have to argue at all, you can just point at time travel and write it off as schlock.
>>288152727Also despite the fact that calling MC a pedo is never deleted this post which explains why some people hate MT and also gives an example in the image about a Fujo hating family aspect that it didn’t turn out like in their American soap operas with a divorce often gets deleted because it completely shuts down the detractors narrative.But since it often gets deleted we already figured out what detractors hate and that’s the family aspect.
>>288152727Wow, a Japanese writer made an LN just to secure the future of the white race?
