Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

[DarthEnderX]

Everyone is so down on God for seemingly no reason. So far, he's never steered Rudy wrong once. But both Rudy, and the audience, always think he's up to no good.

Is it just because he has the stereotypical anime trickster voice?

So third wife should be Eris

I mean, it's pretty obvious we'll get there eventually.

He very clearly tried to persuade Rudeus wrong this time.

- Roxy would have died.
- Paul and one or more of the others would have died in a similar manner without the book guiding them through the dungeon.
- Zenith would have remained encased in crystal, presumably forever because they never would have found the secret stairs without going through the teleporter that Nanahoshi knew about.
- Impregnating the beast girls when they're in heat would have resulted in Rudeus losing the respect of his sister and probably the trust of his wife.

How that cascade of events serves Hitogami, we do not know. But he was pretty insistent that going to help his parents was the "wrong" decision.

But we know the outcome Rudeus chose instead benefitted Rudeus greatly despite the cost.

It's not the trickster voice. It's all the super manipulative dialogue techniques that Hitogami has been doing to Rudeus this entire time.

I'm repeating myself and perhaps other viewers disagree on my theory of Hitogami not foreseeing Rudeus using teleportation for travelling, but if Rudeus had made the trip normally, not through teleportation, Roxy would have been long dead. Paul might have also lost patience waiting for Rudeus and went back to the dungeon with the team, potentially losing more members for no gain. With those changes in place, it's entirely possible even with Rudeus, they still wouldn't have been able to rescue Zenith. Then Rudeus would have returned with absolutely nothing to show for it, only regrets. Paul might have still been alive, who knows, but I don't see how he would have given up, so he would have basically been just waiting for his death, returning to the dungeon time after time, never making any progress, until he died since it's a dangerous dungeon. Rudeus would have just cut his losses and left eventually. This could have been Hitogami's intended prediction.

Ok, NOW we know what the regret is ;>

Fuck Norn, impregnating TWO beast girls would have been worth it, plus Norn would eventually understand how men's minds work. Sylphie gave him the okay long ago, and tbh Sylphie would probably prefer Rudy to casually fuck around rather than bring home a second wife who he loves as much as her.

Lol, there's literally no way for you to be able to make that conclusion, because we have no idea what would have happened instead had he stayed(other than he would have had another kid, which, in and of itself, is already a pretty massive loss).

But we know the outcome Rudeus chose instead benefitted Rudeus greatly despite the cost.

Did it? He gained a wife, but lost a hand and a potential child.

What if, at some pivotal point in the future, he's unable to save someone else, because he's missing a hand? It could be something as trivial as Sylphie dying because he's unable to reach out and grab her.

Or maybe beast kid would have ended up saving someone that he couldn't.

We simply don't have enough information. But you're insistence that we do is starting to border on manga-prophet territory.

Fuck Norn, impregnating TWO beast girls would have been worth it, plus Norn would eventually understand how men's minds work.

But also how Beastman society works.

By having a child with one of the beastmen, he possibly would have earned the loyalty of their entire tribe. Which might have played a pivotal role in events later.
