Rudy Gets Challenged to a Duel | Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

[@afro_g1137]

such a shame that they didn't add the comparison he made to Eris and Ruijerd, that was a pretty good example of how strong they are

[@dargenflame2500]

and whats more important, how much he underestimate himself. Because for him, he is really bad fighter, while comparing himself to Eris and Rujerd.

[@batriam5921]

@@dargenflame2500 I mean compared to how good of a mage he is, he's a really bad fighter.

[@Brianworldwide_7]

Why would you need a comparison when you already know they are both strong? It's kinda redundant.

[@Naluh]

Rudeus always see the big fish and downplay his own power. He tells himself weak because he cannot defeat ORSTED.

[@dargenflame2500]

@@batriam5921 but he doesn't compare his magic with sword skills. After demon continent and Orsted, Rudeus saw himself as beginner in swordsmanship. He just met and travel with too much fighters and monsters stronger then him in close fights, which makes his "advanced' level (when he fight with Like) as really low level in his own eyes.

[@potatoadw9387]

Even without his eye of foresight active, Rudeus could have won this match, but it would have taken a bit longer. He himself thinks in the novel that Luke was a surprisingly easy opponent and realizes that everyone he has fought before like Eris, Ghislaine, Ruijerd, Paul and that one saint rank north god style swordsman he defeated in the great forest were actually really strong.

[@FirstLast-cg2nk]

I love that the guy got so angry that he hurt his hand slamming his fist into the ground. That's a nice little bit of realism there: Frozen ground is incredibly hard.

[@icaimas719]

To give some context, Luke's scream of pain from smashing his Fist against the ground is not because the ground is Frozen, though it probably didn't help, but from Rudeus having fractured Luke's wrist in the exchange. Rudeus' sword was created using incredibly dense earth/stone, making it quite heavy despite its small form. Rudeus then used his Magic eye of foresight to predict Luke's movements and hit him with a basic Sword God technique, which he still practiced regularly since his Training with Paul and later Ghislayne, to disarm Luke. When Luke tried to get his sword back, he went to finish it. Sorry, the explanation ended up pretty long.

Essentially this is how sword fights between two "normal" human works 1 or 2 strikes and you are dead especially because they don't wear armor

[@Did_No_Wrong]

I can see why Rudeus wanted to use a practice sword, if he used a real Luke probably would have lost that hand.

[@cocodojo]

Rudy still had to create a mock sword out of earth magic, even though it wasn't a steel weapon like Luke was using, it was quite heavy because it was made of stone, condensed and reinforced to make it be strong enough to not break apart upon impact. I do believe later in the LN someone mentioned why it was so heavy when they tried to pick it up from where Rudy left it in the yard. Rudy could've broken Luke's arm or severed a limb if he wasn't careful and holding back during the fight.

Dont worry, happens to all of us pretty frequently. Those days comes several times a year even a month, but at least you know they will come. So just accept it was such a day when all things go wrong and move on and hope in some weeks it is better. Like even the absolute most best and good person in the world has those days. Like surely even billionaires like elon musk, and if you are religious, even jesus had such a day when he was cricified and despite doing everything right he was tormented as a theif even though he was innocent. So happens truly to all. No matter how could you are of a person. But also the opposite no matter how bad you are, a good day will always come, the night is never endless. Altough it sure feels like it sometimes xD. Morning eventually comes, just like summer eventually comes after winter. Just know this will pass, like all things do. Nothing is eternal, neither humans, pain, or happiness. All comes to an end, but all eventually come back as well.

True Ruijerd even points out that out saying Rudeus has reached a sort of perfection where he is already world class but he doesnt let it get to his head causing him to strive to improve even more. Its also great how skewed Rudeus perspective of strength is because of his experience. His standards come from Paul Ghislaine Ruijerd and he used to spar Eris so he was surprised when Luke wasnt that strong

FYI Rudeus states that he'd have trouble with a sword saint and be screwed against an actual sword king. His eye is the only thing keeping himself from getting blitzed by the better speed, reflexes, defense, and strength touki gives you. BUT, Rudeus has always downplayed himself. Not to mention, a certain sword king isn't necessarily at the level Rudeus thinks they are. One he happens to spar with.

Its situational. Rudeus is at a massive disadvantage against Saint rank and up when in close quarters but If he has some distance he can win

[@BigHeadClan]

Ghislain in the LN that if Rudeus was far enough away even as a child he could possibly beat her a sword king. So yeah just below god class if you were to have him fight in ideal conditions at this point in the story. The real scary part about him though is that he shares none of the normal weaknesses of a mage. His foresight, wordless casting, endless mana and sword training let him hold his own against even sword saints in close quarters without tiring out. Pretty much any other mage is dead if a competent sword wielded gets close.

[@underattack14]

It’s crazy to think that even as good with a sword as Rudeus is by normal standards he’s completely outmatched by anyone using touki. I get it's a flip on the op protag troupe but I find his lack of touki needs to be better explained than he just can't produce it. If touki is correlated directly to mana I’m assuming that tempering and condensing it skillfully… so in that line of logic how could Rudeus not have control over that just frustrated not being able to see someone with rudeus mana capacity using touki and how that directly affects it.

[@deathitself6985]

Personally i had an idea that his immature training by Paul made him fight in a way where he never produced a battle aura to increase speed and strength instead used magic to do so but who knows. Badigadi did say that some people just cant it might be part of the aspect he was born with He is intermediate thats when Eris started producing it so he should have been able to if he ever could

[@jawarafrazer8530]

Some people just don't have the aptitude for it. And the fact that he beat Luke potentially might mean Luke can't use it either. Intermediate is as far as you can go without battle aura.

[@underattack14]

@@jawarafrazer8530 I get that but Touki is essentially just taking mana which Rudeus has so much and using it to reinforce your physicals. I don't like the explanation that people just don't have the aptitude for it or that you’re born with it because that implies Touki isn't developed and there's a metabolic//genetic reason why some people can't or can use it. There has to be something particular that determines the development or production of touki and that is either technique or mindset (which also would need an explanation). There's a possibility that this can be expanded on even further. We know it's not the Laplace factor ( Sylphie and Sieg ) use touki. The most reasonable explanation for me is something to do with Souls but if this is ever mentioned then Rifujin will sorta be pressured into expanding the explanation of Touki and more specific intricacies of mana. Even then Rudeus and his kids are immune to Hitogami and Orsted Curses so wouldn't that make their souls the same type of soul lol so Rudeus should be able to produce Touki. We have to see someone w a mana pool like Rudeus letting loose using touki( possibly Laplace's original form)

[@miguelrodriguezgonzalez6396]

​@@underattack14 actually it is more likely to be the laplace factor, sieg having battle aura doesn't really disprove that, since a factor just show inherent traits of the one to be reincarnated, in Rudeus' case the massive amount of mana and possibly the lack of battle aura (since laplace wasn't able to use it either) not all factors are the same, for example sylphie took hair and magic talent, sieg took hair and an extremely strong body (even without the use of battle aura), not every single laplace factor is the same

1:15 That kick is really poorly animated on review. In the contact frames, you can barely see part of Luke's sword under/behind Rudy (though the blade is missing; it shouldn't all be hidden behind Rudy based on how it was positioned before the kick), which makes Rudy's spinning kick ridiculous (it will carry him into the sword from that position). And then the sword just disappears in the next frames as Rudy finishes his rotation (which should have had his leg hit the sword). In addition, Rudy kicks left-to-right, but Luke is knocked the opposite direction by the kick, as if it had been right-to-left. Nothing about that sequence makes sense.

Awesome Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Video.

[@bh24x]

Imagine telling Luke that Rudeus is physically incapable of enhansing his body with magic like most fighter do. No magical buff and the opponent still has yo be atleast sword saint to pose a threat... Aginst a primary caster... Who CAN cast near instent voicless magic. And Luke, while an accomplished knight, doesn't even warrent so much as forsight eye. The practice sword was there to protect Luke's life. Rudeus likes to THINK that he's weak but he just keeps getting caught up in fights with all the high brass of this world. Cannot even hit the ceiling pf his potential since anything that COULD deplete his mana in a reasonable time frame would litterally try to break his mortal human body. Height feel like a half baked glass cannon most of the time but the dude is a walking legend of such mythic caliber. When he's in the grave, scholars will be arguing the impossibility of a human even existing with his power and prowess. Amd this character is so human that he suffers from a combination of inferority complex at not being as great as his peers who all hold mastery in fields far away from his own god like mastery. Good writing on this series.

I think the technique Rudeus used in this was Sword God Style: Reflection. From what i remember Eris is a master of that too but can use it with longsword of light and that makes her just a degree below a sword god. Not everybody can do a horizontal longsword of light, even Orsted got hit, it’s that good.

[@cornellabraham4914]

For my light novel readers does he use a sword sometimes in the future?

[@TheRaphaelKaufmann]

Not really, no. But he does get some other stuff that allows him to fight way better in melee range.

[@jawarafrazer8530]

No. But he uses a specialized armor with a Gatlin gun

[@generalgarchomp333]

​@@jawarafrazer8530stone canon quite literally go brr.

[@SoggySub]

Damn, luke is weak af

[@JustSumGuy01]

Nah. Rudy just has more combat experience

[@miguelrodriguezgonzalez6396]

iirc luke is just extremely average, he's intermediate and beginner in sword god and water god style (I dont remember in which level is each)

[@shreyanshverma7]

Hello

[@gerardogomez2820]

Humillante.

[@ishaqyousuf1332]

Is it NTR if you stole a girl that supposed to be somebody's else wife in another timeline?

[@justinnelson1118]

Nah

[@Miwhe]

nah it isnt she definitely deserves someone better than luke

[@deathitself6985]

No since it doesnt change the fact that she fell in love with him this timeline and didnt even meet the guy until waaay later

Je voudrait une séries ou des élèves d’une école à tokyo meurt et il se réincarne en pokémon et une gentille carapuce du nom de mai aime son professeur et elle propose de devenir sa future épouse et le professeur qui est célibataire accepte quand elle aura 19 ans et la gentil petite carapuce accepte et a 19 ans il se marie Le nom de la séries l’épouse humain pokémon

[@YenliMilneY]

The princess and Luke are some of the worst characters - really wish they'd just get killed off

[@deathitself6985]

Have you read the LN or just based on the anime so far?

[@arthurels5832]

Ig it can seem tht way considering anime cant show everything that happens in the ln. All i can tell u is Ariel deserves to prob rule the entire world

[@lee-man6464]

the battle probably would've turned out differently if it wasn't for Rudys special eye

[@lordmashiro1929]

Nope, Rudeus still would've won even without his demon eye. The battle would've lasted a bit longer, but Rudeus has far more experience than Luke with the sword (which makes sense since Rudy got tutored by Paul, who is advanced in all three swordstyles, Ghislaine, who is a sword king and Ruijerd, who is near the emperor level in terms of ability)

[@deathitself6985]

Actually Rudeus mentions how he didnt need the eye of foresight regretted using it and then realized just how strong Paul Eris Ruijerd were in reality having warped his sense of strength

[@MLGHazrad]

Without the eye, Rudeus might have a bit difficulty in beating Luke but I heard that he is used to seeing Eris fight whose combat prowess surpasses Luke.

[@nikoalvarez45]

No, he wouldn't. The gap in skills is so huge, Rudeus would defeat Luke unharmed even without his foresight.

[@generalgarchomp333]

Bro Eris doesn't just surpass Luke, she ECLIPSES him. Luke is average at BEST only really strong because of his magic items, Eris is a sword saint level warrior with the potential to be king or even emperor tier with enough training. Friggin RUDY is objectively a better swordsman than Luke.

[@ithereos9554]

So it's this another one of those "overpowered MC" isekais?

[@lilDOOTINATOR]

I think it's actually the one that started the genre, and it's also wayyyy better than 99% of the genre, it focuses more on people being flawed than just overpowered, I recommend it. although it does have a long stretch where its kind of boring but I'm still interested in what happens in the future seasons. its definitely very unique as far as isekais go. edit: actually not sure if it was the original, thats just what i heard, but it was definitely an early influencer of the genre

[@JustSumGuy01]

But very well earned power creep

[@glados4765]

This show is about an emo teenager that got dumped by a girl. It's so bad

[@messiahraxor1455]

@glados4765 Biased opinion. But whatever u say

[@generalgarchomp333]

He didn't even get dumped tho?

[@abhinavoraon9155]

This show is much more than that what a bad critic

[@yashuchiha6932]

This show become so boring not worthy to watch

[@arthurels5832]

It’ll get better for your entertainment. Tons of foght scene and power scaling in the future
