Mushoku Tensei Takes Over Twitter with One of Its Best Episodes Yet

✖

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation may not have come off like a hit from the start, but it has certainly become a staple with fans. The show stepped forward with its midseason premiere this fall, and the clock is ticking down on season one. Now, fans are hanging on to every episode ahead of the finale, and Mushoku Tensei's most recent release has got the whole fandom buzzing.

The update went live this week when Mushoku Tensei checked on Rudeus during a mission. The boy is found traveling with Eris like usual, but things get ugly when a new foe appears. Orsted the Dragon God happens to encounter the party on a desolate road, and readers knew from the get-go how badly the encounter would end.

As you can find in the slides below, audiences were stunned by Mushoku Tensei's animation this week. Studio Bind went all out with the episode given its high expectations. Orsted's fight scenes were just as brutal as fans wanted and then some. By the end, Rudeus was left bloodied while Eris could only watch from the sidelines. The weight of Orsted's power was made crystal clear, and audiences know the Dragon God is only going to become a bigger player from here on out.

Of course, much of the character's growth will go down once Mushoku Tensei exits season one. The isekai has been a hit with fans since episode one, so it seems like Studio Bind will commission a second season. Rudeus will most certainly run into Orsted again in that near future, so the reincarnated mage better train hard between now and then.

Bring the Trauma

Episode 21 #MushokuTensei was a blast. I felt so many emotions watching this episode. The minute when Orsted & Nanahoshi arrived at the scene, I knew that there will be a very violent battle. I also can't take the part when Eris screamed for help. Literally trauma on Eris part. pic.twitter.com/JbJKjztxdd

Big Yikes

I love how the demon eye that made Rudeus look into the future made him even more miserable than what he's already is... #MushokuTensei pic.twitter.com/eEGoJkFGFH
