Power of the Loli Seal- Mushoku Tensei Novel Analysis! (Vol23,Ch7-8)

[@ShiNijuuAKL]

Reida foreshadowed Jino's rise. She told Nina "Just keep doing what you’re doing! But for what it’s worth, you might want to keep an eye on the folks below you on the ladder instead.” She already knew his potential. Also remember that Jino's problem was never him being weak, but him being "naive".

[@Yurinkin]

Oh yeah

[@mrfriespotato2834]

i really like the sara rudy thing was called back and sorted properly cuz rudy's ego was obliterated on their last encounter, and sara heard the full story after he left and had to deal with self hatred and guilt and pointing out how vague "growing up" from one to another is super cool

[@juusovuolle8251]

I wonder if sara will introduce rudeus to her husband. Haha. That scene would be quite funny.

[@Jakokokoroko]

@@juusovuolle8251 There is an extra special manga chapter where Rudeus and Sara meet again that is really wholesome if you don't know about it. Just google something like "Rudeus Sara Manga Special" and you should easily find it. Edit: actually, I tried to find it myself just now and it was really hard to find so here is what it is called exactly "Mushoku Tensei ~Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu~ Special Book" and it's chapter 3 of that where Rudeus meets Sara again. CAREFUL though! This "Special Book" (short manga series) has POST LN Spoilers! Only read after you finished the LN.

That maybe true but he got the 3 Pokémon he wanted and has achieved true happiness with them. 😊

Considering Rudeus saved the girl from being absorbed by a Treeant back years ago and they almost got together during that time only to be screwed by his ED, who could blame Rudy for an old fling firing up his heartbeats.

[@kmdreacts]

2 Great Chapters!! I was kinda hoping he'd bring home the yellow starter pokemon, too. She realised just exactly what she let go over a misunderstanding.. Most women in the Mushoku world who are saved from the brink of death tend to fall in love with their saviour.. It's more like an Isekai trope. But Hey, we can all "dream" can't we 😏

[@ericbunker6242]

The mature Eris is amazing!

[@Yurinkin]

Indeed 😊

[@fatrown3]

You're overthinking it i think :p You don't have to know where someone else is if you set a trap with good bait. That's exactly what happened in the asura royals arc for example. Crap, he doesn't even really need to kill RG. If MG wants to win, he could just make things hard for DG. So either RG appears at key events and is trapped, or he doesn't appear and MG gets what he wants anyways Also, you don't have to know where someone is to hire a hit on them either. They'll do some P.I. stuff and find him IRL. NOT LIKE mG is the only source on information in the world Also, if DG or RG w/bracelet are near others, there's a fog there and the others can't really be observed either That's why the only time MG refers to seeing orsted, aside from when he reads someone's mind/memories i guess in the white space, is when he looks through his own eyes' future

[@2114-wc2hw]

I just finished reading Mushoku Tensei and it is only going to be crazier...

[@Dialga9187]

Rudeus has excellent chemistry with Ariel, Nanahoshi, Soldat, and Sara, I feel like they're more realistically written (I was about to continue this comment with why but realised I should probably shut my mouth due to possible spoilers no matter how tangential and/or inferential such a piece of information could be) (I could just be being overly sensitive though)

[@Dialga9187]

Actually, I will phrase it in such a way that does not spoil... I think they're more realistically written because they're not the 'I choose you, pikachu!' type characters that are (sort of) expected to get with Rudeus eventually for some fanbase wish fulfillment plot contrivance reason. Of course, Rudeus should have wedded and bedded them all but that's ju-

[@deathitself6985]

​@@Dialga9187 She probably would have ended up with Rudeus if not for the circumstances as she did catch feelings after he saved her and felt bad when she realized the misunderstanding. But she didn't have the time when compared to someone like Eris for example they grew up together got stranded and traveled the world together Sylphie who had alot of time getting married and living together Roxy who got Rudeus through his fear of going out and became his goddess

[@Dafiid22]

Sylphies criteria for if a women can marry Rudy, is based on if she loves him unconditionally. She knew both roxy and eris would give up anything and litterally die for Rudy. Nanahoshi wouldn't do that and Sylphie knows that

[@juusovuolle8251]

nanahoshi and rudeus speak in foreign tongue and according to nanahoshi they are from the same town. which according to what sylphie knows. makes no sense. They also seem to get along really well. And they talk about wierd stuff from time to time. nanahoshi's life goal is also so teleport herself back to the world from where she was originally from. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why sylphie would feel a little nervous about such a girl.

[@Dafiid22]

@juusovuolle8251 I know, he specifically asked what criteria does sylphie use to determine whether a girl could marry Rudy or not. Not just Nanahoshi

@@ragnazero1971 😂😂 damn time differences.. I sometimes think I'm in the future when I hear that

[@fatrown3]

It seems like the distance in strength with sword styles is far greater between beginner and Saint than between saint and god. However, the difference between a saint and a king, or a king and an emperor, although really just microseconds of speed and a few joules of force, improving past your hard cap seems to be more Challenging. Every minor improvement is another plateau followed by another wall with diminishing returns on strength gains as effort put in. Plus, it seems like some people just don't have the potential to get past their hard cap plateau

[@agua-n5m]

A high-level Sword God would kill 100 emperors playing around.

[@agua-n5m]

Reida would make the 12 spirits of Perugius as a doll

[@fatrown3]

@agua-n5m yet the difference between them and the sword emperors would be probably about 0.01 - 0.05 seconds I'm talking about their power in objective measurement. If gal falion was oh so mighty, the previous and following events would never occur for him, but he lost just a touch of his edge and that was enough to become a hobo

[@doodlegame8704]

@@fatrown3Well that’s the thing about statistics, the closer you get to zero the bigger relative gap there is between each second of speed. the difference between 20 second and 10 seconds is 2x, but the difference between 5 seconds and 1 second is 5x. If we take this to its natural extreme, a sword swing made within 0.005 seconds is 50x faster than a sword swing made within 0.25 seconds! So really, it’s an astronomical difference in strength between Sword Gods and Sword Saints, despite how it looks.

[@doodlegame8704]

I think the man-god can only see through his disciples. That’s why he had to have Luke watch Rudeus in vol17.

[@Soundwave119]

Whoot another Mushoku Monday is coming! 😊 It will be interesting seeing Rudy's reaction to learning Galfarion has left the Sword Sanctum and is no longer the Sword God. 😊

[@juusovuolle8251]

Galfarion sounds like a pokemon name :D

[@TBoneTony]

Future Self scenario, was there a Rudeus from another timeline where he was able to get with Sara and what would have happened if he never had the ED that ruined his relationship with Sara originally???? How would that have changed the fate of Rudeus and his mission to find his mother????

[@fatrown3]

~ 1:13:10 Even elven women fear their blond husband's preferring a Japanese (east Asian in general) woman. They're resented in both dimensions:p ha

[@tjjordan4207]

I am curious if a relationship between Rudeus and Sara was possible. I personally think it could have but I'm not so sure if Sara would have been willing to share Rudeus with anyone else. A part of me wishes things could have worked out between them or at least ended on a better note instead of a misunderstanding, but at the same time they did have a chance to patch things up much later and have some closure, so it's one of those "you take your wins where you can get them" kind of deal.

[@Yurinkin]

Yup

[@guilhermebruzaferro5197]

I do love Sarah. For me, she is one of the most adorable characters there, for me she is above, at least, Sylphy

[@deathitself6985]

Damn 😂 That's an unpopular take for sure Sylphie is so loved her fans really hype her as being above the other wives

[@guilhermebruzaferro5197]

@deathitself6985 yep, agreed, ppl do love her. For me she is the least likeable of them, honestly.. but that's my opinion only haha

[@OrstedCultist]

[@spudmonky]

[@m1k3droid]

What I want to know is why are there three different sword gods, but no magic god?

[@7deadlypins]

There wasn't any nuance to the sword god title when losing to another school. Basically all they care about in that style is power. So it doesnt matter who you lose to, a loss is a loss. So if you lose to someone else at the number one spot, you lose the title of sword god, so the number two is now the owner of the title. So, it has nothing to do with how much stronger or weaker the number two is. If you lose while owning the title you are no longer in ownership of the title. since someone from a different school can't be the number one. Its just how they decided to setup their school and what it means to be number one.

[@agua-n5m]

1:35:33 spoiler: there is a canon manga shorts that tells a story of them meeting again.

[@tonled6960]

why doesnt Eris ever get a...."position" in Rudy's "shrine" to his Goddess?

[@juusovuolle8251]

rudeus has a wooden practice sword to represent eris in his shrine. not sure how you missed that.

[@deathitself6985]

After the Orsted fight and Rudeus being dominated in bed he added Eris to the shrine as the goddess of war so his trinity was complete

[@zboyakinola2353]

I dont mean to sound rude but couldn't you use a different video to say unfinished thoughts you had about the previous monday instead of taking more time from the next monday? Or is there any reason for it?

Hard to decide from these 3 options: 1. The ring to change your appearance, easy pick easy money. 2. A legendary weapon that appears later on, it would be really cool and could be sold for fortunes. 3. The holy relic, for... reasons. Of course, I'm assuming that demon eyes aren't considered accessories here, otherwise... we all know which one.

[@securityguy9992]

The gravity sword. Doubt that the god sword is an option.

Man from all your theories this one is the worst, is the man god was that guy it would make more sense that he will try to communicate to nanahoshi rather than avoid her, and probably doesn't use nanahoshi because we know that in two time lines she doesn't accomplish anything

I think your paranoia about the Hitogami sounds eerily too similar to Rudeus and that youre overthinking most of the time.

Gino britts is my #1 most unliked character in mushoku tensei. He completely humiliates gal falion in a duel. From a sword saint. Thats just bad writing.

Bro it wasn't an overnight thing? Bro was training he didn't just get the king title

[@juusovuolle8251]

@@zboyakinola2353 he was training all his life every day with Nina and the others. And showed no promise in the way of the sword. then he falls in love and just dominates two sword god practisioners looking almost bored. if you think that is good writing then you are off your rocker.

[@Jakokokoroko]

@@juusovuolle8251 "and showed no promise" is just false. Jino is factually the youngest sword saint EVER. It was stated when he was first introduced that he was a goddamn prodigy. The only reason he didn't advance is because he didn't have the drive to actually push himself further. Basically, he was someone with GODLIKE talent in swordplay who never even tried and still got to Sword Saint faster than anyone in history. That changed when Nina proposed the marriage idea and he realized he had to become stronger than her father to be worthy of her.

[@zboyakinola2353]

@juusovuolle8251 he didn't just have the motivation to do it? Even orsted said bro was talented bit just didn't have the drive. Same as eris in every other timeline she was good at the sword but in this timeline now that she loves rudues and wants to be by his side she "trains more".....

[@deathitself6985]

I felt the same way at first but now i think its more the lack of focus on Gino. He should have been a bit more fleshed out too so it doesnt feel so out of the blue We see Eris train and fight from childhood then we see her dedicate herself to it for 5 years because of what happened. Gino was also training but he didnt seem to have the same kind of dedication so it feels jarring to go from that to him beating and becoming sword god
