I think I got to be a little bit more on Subarus side. He’s not special at all really. And he can’t train to get an epic world shattering power. He literally has to make connections to bring people together. Moving straight into his non comfort zone immediately. It takes rudeus half the freakin story to break bad habits and it’s woe is me for too long for me to even like the dude. He’s what? 30-40 years old at the start of the story and repeats his past mistakes over and over. Where as Subaru has to change his attitude at every failure to progress. All in all I think Subaru adapts better where rudeus has the abilities but sucks with people for too long.

[@franciszekkapuscinski]

Rudeus said it himself. His life before reinarnation was largely empty to the point that life didn't flash before his eyes before his death because there was nothing worth. His battles with himself were as important as Subaru's. I don't think more time he lived actually mattered when it comes to expirience. After all what expirience can you get when you do nothing?

[@cfh23666]

@@franciszekkapuscinski it’s not really the process. It’s the mind set. Subaru can adapt better hence why I like the character more. I couldn’t really get into a character who spent almost a whole second lifetime to change after sucking at his first so hard. You would think the lack of anything flashing before his eyes would make him more driven to be different then he was before. Subaru has his own issues though between self worth and self harm, plus being able to mentally tolerate death the way he does. He’s not sitting pretty in any way, but the fact that he doesn’t really have any world shattering magic or physical talent really sets it in for me.

[@terencebarnes7393]

@@cfh23666I would definitely say for the most part he was different. He basically mastered a lot magic types before he was 8 and learned 4 languages.

I still don’t like Rudy that much to be honest but he definitely had a better development. Rudy’s character development is better because he went from a hated character to neutral character and Subaru went from a good character to a goat character. Someone turning good from bad is better mental development than someone turning from good to a better person but both are still good. But Subaru is always top. 🐐

its mostly due to his character. we get told about it to begin with, subaru is a very easy going person who wants what he wants at that moment. meanwhile rudy is pretty dedicated to making his life better in his 2nd chance. also rudy is over multiple years. in comparison, subaru gains a lot less in terms to his overarching goals. the main one, which is making emilia ruler, is somewhat put to the backburner. but it’s interesting because everything subaru has done so far and somehow contributed to that goal, even if he initially has selfish and narrowminded goals in each arc. my point here is that re zero is a building up to something while rudy is gradually doing things he wants to do and fixing mistakes he made.

Damn, I haven't readed or watched re: zero yet, but for some reason I really want to share my thoughts about mushoku tensei... Probably because this is my second and biggest novel so far, which I have read after a small romantic novel... It was about half a year ago, and it was amazing. Spring, the sun at dawn and sunset, a dark spring evening and night... My studies at school are ending, I devote less and less time to studying and more to reading... I have been reading literally for 10 hours a day, reading also during recess at school... And the wonderful world itself... As a book, no, as a fleeting life, you see how a character spends years traveling across continents... He meets hundreds of creatures on his way, makes mistakes, finds happiness, then again feels depressed and sad because of a mistake... You see that the world around you is really alive, and the characters that you saw a long time ago appear to you again as friends... Or enemies... A battle with God, with yourself and your past, with an alternative reality... In the end, finding peace, then fleeting decades of happiness, and in the end, that's how it should end... Then, looking at this book, at this world from afar, you realize that he lived, lives, and will continue to live, even despite the end of the story, and you can no longer influence it in any way... Yes, it was amazing and in some way changed my life and attitude towards it.

[@FlamesAndWaves]

you should definetly watch it and then read until arc 6 or whatever you want to do, but this anime is very depressing especially the manga

[@BarryAllen__1A23]

Thats the thing rudeus had a relatively easy life; he's gifted, girls fall in love with him easily and most people he meets automatically likes him. Thats why his problems/suffering are insignificant because he's so powerful that he just pulled the "time travel" bs to fix his problems. That completely negates all the stakes. If his problems were permanent tho then I wouldve enjoyed MT more. Subaru however has none of those things, he literally lived a life of suffering. He might have the most powerful magic in his world but it came with an immense price that its almost a double edged ability. Its truly satisfying to see a character who is weak af but still continues to push on, even sacrificing his sanity just to create a perfect timeline. His growth is also unmatched by only few characters and I could go on but my comment would be too long lmao. My point is if you liked MT you'll love re:zero even more

Overall I think Rudeus only because his arc has finished and we see his full life from start to finish. It seems so bittersweet, as we see him run his course with many achievements, tragedies and growth. Very few shows we get to see the mc from young to old. Usually the main plot finishes and thats the end of the story, left on some cliffhanger showcasing a possible future for the mc (which isnt a bad ending). But in Mushouku we get to literally see his whole life as he passed away. Though I still think Subaru's speech at his own weaknesses/lack of character (ironically gives him more depth than most mcs) was probably one of my favorite moments of all time. The voice acting and his own self awareness at his own faults was absolutely beautifully done. I hate how that episode is overshadowed by his rejection of Rem (which personally I think was obvious and fit the situation) and many forget just how great a scene that was. Very difficult choice but I think Rudeus has the edge overall only due to how we saw his end already. May need to revisit this after rezero ends.

[@alexanderstenmark8838]

Good take. I don't really know if you've read the novel of Re:Zero based on the answer, so I'll toss it in here just in case.

Honestly, they're both great characters. It's just that Subaru's story is more severe, and people (including me) tend to enjoy more severe stories. Rudeus got to take his trauma and flaws slowly. Subaru, meanwhile, had his flaws shoved in his face less than a month after being transported, and the consequences of failing to overcome them would be everyone he knows and loves. The main reason why I like Subaru better is not because he suffered more, but because I can trace his character development and articulate it much better than I can with Rudeus.

Subaru is the strongest hands down, his abnormal mental fortitude is what makes him the strongest plus his ability to return and make correct choices though for a traumatic price. I can’t imagine going through 100M+ deaths just for a minor change to happen for the right path while trying to not let any of your friends die, it would definitely mess with your perception of reality and life meaning just think of PTSD

they are somewhat similar in many aspects tho. Both hikikomori. Both have and hard time accepting themselves, more specifically their past selves. Both suffer alot when being brought to the new world Both strive to be better than what they were. Both hide behind a front, although subaru does this alot more than rudy. Both mentally immature for their ages and how they both mature longer into the story. Still tho i kind of agree with you that they are different, but just because they are different it doesnt mean that you cant compare them.

@@flandronha5541 No. Unless he becomes a terrible person and then has a comeback, it's not possible to beat Rudeus since there is a limit to how good you can be. Subaru wasn't a bad character at the beginning, so he didn't have enough room to improve to match Rudeus. He is a better person than Rudeus, but the amount he increased is less than Rudeus and my opinion on that can not be changed since it is rooted in what is essentially math

[@Mrqu3stionmark]

People say Subaru's power is op but ngl having to feel death, not only once but pretty much a lot of times is pretty traumatic... Also, he can't control where where's he'll spawn back like a checkpoint, it's just random. And lastly (the author said this himself) if subaru died he'll lose the experience that he gained, like he can learn martial arts, but if he died he'll lose that ability. Yeah, it's not that overpowered as you think...

[@kelly.mp4]

In fact, about the loss of experience is a debatable question, although don't know so much about Re:Zero, but as I think such experience is stored in the form of muscle memory, for example, how Subaru learned to peel vegetables. Did the Re:Zero author say anything about that?

Rudeus died in his past life and was granted a second chance in a new life while subaru never get to live it till the end and simply forced to die in a different world with no chance to return Rudeus no longer has ties with his old life while subaru has to continue to live through the pain of his parents who will never find the answer of his disappearence
