What Next for Ruijerd? Mushoku Tensei SPOILERS

Yup. Don’t fuck with the Greyrats.

@@Darth_Bateman no, DO fuck with the greyrats👀

Norne who's that 🧐

Orsted shipping people is hilarious to me cause he seems so serious and his whole existence is based around revenge. The contrast just makes me laugh lol

Yay for Ruijerd being an upset Shipper LOL.

Fr.....mind dropping him a harem along with it

With Rudy's little sister. Robbing the cradle there.

@@kineticstar lol she is an adult when it happens though. I mean, yeah he's 500 years old, but Elinalise is even older and she married someone Rudy's age!

@@NatalieXHunter lol I just find the irony of the fan base dissing Rudy for being old chasing young girls in the beginning of the story only to ship reg×norn palpable. As for Alina she get a pass because Cougar and Cliff is awesome.

Haha I think when you get to thousands of years old it's gone a bit beyond cougar! I just think in stories where some races live for many times the human lifespan age differences don't really matter, so it's funny when people make a thing about it (which I have seen people do about Ruijerd and Norn in quite a few places). I mean Roxy still looks 14 when Rudy dies of old age!

Way to be subtle lmao

Glad you enjoyed it!

LOL

Oh man that bastard really hurt rudy mentally in the worst way possible

@@testaccrun4830 It wasn't really painful...Paul appearing wasn't actually Vita's doing, but the effect of the ring that was mentioned. The ring was given to him by Death God Randolph and it was specifically designed to counter Vita by having the illusion be interrupted. By what? By a vision of a dead loved one reminding them of their passing. It's actually a very nice moment as Rudeus finally gets some degree of closure on Paul's death

@@ApexGale oh sorry its been years since last time i read but still painfull though

Ah, sweet! I got into Dorohedoro from the anime but haven't finished the manga yet. It's so good, but you have to be in the right mood to just go along with the strange!

@@NatalieXHunter I got into the manga waaaaaaay back in 2003, back then literally all I had was a single scanlated chapter by mangascreener I think, but it was literally love at first sight at which point I started consuming everything I could by Q Hayashida, which back then was mostly the Maken X manga. It was one of those series I thought would never see an anime release,so I was over the moon when one came out and was actually good despite the abundance of CG.

Has she done any other series? I gotta say I love the art in the manga, reading it after the anime it was so cool. I looked at some pages for ages just with all the detail, where the setting has that crowded feel and she draws every little thing. The story is great too.

@@NatalieXHunter she has made the aforementioned Maken X to completion before Dorohedoro which is a manga and also a game, although I never quite understood the relationship of the manga and game and nowadays she's doing Dai Dark, which I must admit I haven't been following too closely since there were few chapters when I found it. Maken is not as good as Dorohedoro, but it's still a trippy interesting read; Dai Dark seems to have the weird of Dorohedoro but on the few chapters I had read it didn't grasp me quite as much which is why I've been holding off on reading. But yes, her weird art, full of grimy dirty environments and how every other person is absolutely jacked are definitely what drew me in. If you have the opportunity, I seriously recommend seeking out some Japanese print manga volumes, as she's a plastic artist first mangaka second, the covers use texture work, superposition and other things that are very unlike any other mangas I've held in my hands (although I haven't managed to import all of them as back in the day I was a poor uni student and the book store I ordered them through has closed).

Oh man, I didn't know they were textured! I bet they're worth a lot then, given the originals must be over 20 years old by now...

Glad you like them! Yeah, the story is very complicated so I've found it best to focus on specific characters or plotlines for the videos but that does mean I've made a lot of them... Not as many as about Re:Zero yet though!

I think it's funny when Rudeus wakes up normally and Norn is there and he thinks for a moment he's in another one of those dreams and this time Norn is meant to be his wife, and thinks Vita is unoriginal!

Also, while it was fun to see the what if with Ariel, I'm kinda glad Rudeus didn't end up with her - he's got to leave someone for poor Luke after stealing his soulmate Eris!

@@NatalieXHunter Luke was such a shithead to me. He talked a big game but even Rudy beat him in swordplay. He got tricked easily and treated fittz like shit. Imho I’m glad Ariel just used him as a himbo in the end. Also not gonna lie I was sweating bullets at him waking up next to norn. So glad rfujin didn’t go there. Aisha was creepy enough. Hell I feel bad for what she did to Ars. I noticed the English official translations have refined pop culture references so I can imagine them making an oreimo bit.

I'm going to record the next part later tonight - just having a break to catch up on some new season anime. I've decided that once I finish ODT I'm going to start doing live readings of some other side content as streams on RU-vid, too, so people can either listen along live or watch the video whenever they want. I think it might be a nice way to do these kinds of stories.

@@NatalieXHunter oh wow that's amazing. I'm all down for that 😍. Dude I swear as soon as I'm able I got you. I'm still not at the point I think I can read redundancy. I really wanna finish the web novel first. But if you end up reading it first I'll definitely jump in on that

I'll probably do some other stuff too, there's the Paul Gaiden stories, which are about Paul's old days so won't spoil stuff the way Redundancy would, plus there's a lot of Re:Zero side content I could do. As long as it's not the official LNs (due to copyright issues) there's a lot of stuff I could use for storytimes!

Ahhhhhh, OK - I was doing that part from memory and I guess the dementia is setting in!

@@NatalieXHunter WHAT

It'll be out later tonight - I'm just giving my voice a rest after recording this one while I watch some of the new season anime, then I'll make it.

@@NatalieXHunter have you watched the Akebi sailor uniform episode? Or the new episode of ranking of kings? (sorry if asked out of the blue)

Glad you enjoy it!

So glad I'm not the only one who found that entertaining lol

That's a good idea for a video - I'll make it but I have a few other things in the pipeline first.

@@NatalieXHunter I'll wait. But please make that video as soon as possible. I'm dying to know about that. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Ooh man.... I can't wait to know 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

just curious but why dont you read the light novel?

@@XLEZZY_REUPLOADS I don't have time and enough money 😓😓😓

Thank you - I actually have the same thing with episodes of MT, they feel like 3 minutes long!

@@NatalieXHunter true 😔

Thank you so much!

That's what I was thinking when I was writing this video, like, that is going to be one hell of an episode someday!

Glad you enjoy it!

He's one of mine too!

I'll be starting with some Overlord stuff in the next week, as well as more Mushoku Tensei!

@@NatalieXHunter Awesome I am Extended I can wait to see your videos

She'll get one eventually! I am trying to do the characters who have appeared in the anime first, because the later someone appears the more stuff I have to explain to talk about them (like, to talk about Atofe's first appearance is easier now I can already point people to the Nanahoshi video for the stuff about her illness, rather than having to explain all of that...). I think this is the first video I have even talked about the stuff with Gisu in tbh, it's pretty wild.

@@NatalieXHunter *"Immortal Simple Minded Brawny Demon Waifu"* will attract more people. Best part people will be forcibly contracted to serve 10 years with 2 years brake time.

@@YukitoOnline it's funny how the saying, "I am not Atofe" in their world is like the equivalent of saying you're not a black company and have a proper workplace ethic/contract, haha.

Dont worry he is fine you know just doing subaru thing but not in idiot way

Thank you too!

Your welcome and see you around, I still owe you like 2 rounds of cold ones💪🏽🍻

I only took a few days off! Thank you for watching though!

You welcome 🤗

No, there's no release date known or anything. But based on what the author has said, I think he'll start work on it this year, it won't be forever (he has some other stuff to finish first).

Glad you're enjoying the web novel! Don't watch this until you've finished, though!

Not to hand, no. It's not so easy to find stuff like that when you can't search in Japanese and are reading things through machine translations or reports of translations, so that's probably why it's not easy to see a distinct place where he definitively says 'there will be a sequel' when people are discussing it in English. People have seen them but it's always a headache to find them again. tbh though, even if he'd said nothing, MT was clearly written as part of a bigger six faced world saga, and since he's done Old Dragon's Tale after finishing MT, which sets up even more stuff that would only be paid off in a sequel, there's nothing to suggest he wouldn't do it.

The Children Rudeus, Eris and Ruijerd rescued are in the beast village, they grow up to hold responsible positions in the village and you'll see them later on in the story. Pursena and Linia will start working for Aisha in one of the businesses which Rudeus started and Aisha manages.

No - they are related to them (Linia is the older sister of the girl Minitona, who Eris makes friends with, the daughter of Gyes, and therefore the niece of Ghislaine), but Linia and Pursena are already away at university when they encounter the beast tribes in the first season.

Minitona and Tursena were and they're the little sisters of Linia and Pursena, respectively. There's no reference to Linia and/or Pursena before the University arc so I don't think there is any way to be sure. Maybe they were already at the Magic University.

Yes, she's on my list haha!

Uh I second this. Definitely one of my favorites.

@@NatalieXHunter I will be waiting for it :)

I don't really find it strange, like, not like the Aisha thing. She's an adult when they get together and it's not like he was interested in her when she was a kid - it's just like she idolized him and grew up to fall in love with him. In other loops they got together but didn't meet until she was already an adventurer, so presumably an adult. I know he's 500 years old but that isn't weird really in this setting - as I said to someone else Elinalise is much older than that and she married someone Rudy's age, it's just how it is if you want your long lived characters to be able to be romantically involved with human characters in this kind of story.

@@NatalieXHunter yea with an explanation like that i can be...ok with it. He is long lived, just didnt see him getting with Norn. But the fact that she was an adult makes it way better in my mind.

Yes, the rankings don't apply with warriors who use other fighting styles, like the superd with their spears, but he should be on the high end of king level in terms of who he could keep up with.

Correction: Ruijerd is the equivalent of a North Emperor (sourced from one of the author's interviews)

Later tonight :)

I have a whole video about how to read ahead - it depends if you want the LN, web novel or manga, so I made a video with all the info.

@@NatalieXHunter alr ill go check it out rn thank u

I didn't really, but more because I'm not a huge fan of Norn and would rather he got with someone a bit cooler haha. I don't mind them ending up together, it just wasn't something I was super hoping for or anything.

I think the best comparison I've seen is that Rudeus' story is like The Hobbit compared to the sequel as LoTR.
