The second season of the anime Mushoku Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) is captivating fans with its new developments. It turns out that Rudeus was not the only one transported from a different world to this new realm.
The latest episode introduces a new character named Nanahoshi, a girl from Japan who shares similarities with Rudeus. However, her arrival in this world comes with a different set of circumstances.
The episode begins with Rudeus searching for ways to enhance his magical abilities, particularly regarding the intricacies of mana. He recalls advice from Fitz (Silphy’s alter ego), an expert in teleportation magic, which she is knowledgeable about.
Fitz mentions Nanahoshi, a girl with a distinctive appearance, who was first spotted alongside the Great Sage Orsted in the initial season. Nanahoshi is described as a mysterious character with profound knowledge of magic and otherworldly facts, making her a perfect counterpart for Rudeus.
Upon seeing her, Rudeus is struck by a sense of déjà vu, recalling his encounter with Orsted. Overwhelmed, Rudeus finds himself in a state of confusion and distress. As he regains his composure, the scene shifts to Nanahoshi’s perspective, where she observes Rudeus and Fitz communicating in a language that is not Japanese.
Later, Rudeus and Nanahoshi converse in Japanese. She reveals that she has been in this world for five years following a disaster in Japan.
While Rudeus has the advantage of living his second life through reincarnation, Nanahoshi finds herself in this new world through a teleportation accident. She desires to return to Japan, where her friends and family still reside.
On the other hand, Rudeus has no intention of going back; he wishes to continue living in this current world. Previously, he was a shut-in, isolated and disconnected from meaningful relationships. For him, this new world offers a fresh start, a chance to become a better person.
Despite their differing viewpoints on returning to their original worlds, Rudeus and Nanahoshi discover common ground. They agree on the potential benefits of collaborating on their respective magical pursuits. Nanahoshi will assist Rudeus in delving deeper into the secrets of mana manipulation, and in turn, Rudeus will provide her with the mana she needs for her research.
Throughout their dialogue, Fitz (Silphy) appears anxious and confused, struggling to comprehend what the two are discussing, especially since they are conversing in a different language.
Clearly, this episode does not only expand the world of Mushoku Tensei but also delves into the complex mysteries surrounding the characters and their origins.
