Suddenly we're an adventuring party on jobs and requests now. This is formal goodbye to the title of Jobless Reincarnation then.

Oh look it's Team Rocket! Wait I haven't/don't/won't watch any Pokemon...yet. XD

Yadaa, yadda, don't kill. Oh sure tell that to the Sperd. Fer the love of the gods, this isn't one of your video games you played back before you died...you finally could die here for nothing or shits and giggles, unless the so called gods intervened again.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Ruijerd has an extreme view of justice goddamn I feel like if he caught you stealing food he'd not just cut of fingers but your entire arm. How are they gonna restore Sperd's reputation like this. I feel sorry for those pet kidnappers tbh

That woman with the extra booba at the guild though! Ruijerd is a badass perhaps they shouldn’t have trusted him so easily… seemed like a pretty short episode for some reason not much of note happening.

Damn what's up with these 5 minute episodes?

That beast woman with 3 oppai's charmed me, what's better than 2 oppai's? 3 oppai's!

Eris goes too far sometimes, she beat the shit out of that one beast for little to no reason at all.

That god's advise is certainly really helpful, though I don't like how Rudeus talks with him lol, atleast be a little polite lmao.

That scene wtih Ruijerd was intense man.

Hoping that they kick that horse face's ass.

5/5 episode.


The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Didn't Ghislaine beheaded people from before? Because they too were bad? Yet Rudy feels traumatized by what the Ruijerd did...

And the reasoning for "not killing" is as typical as ever. Not satisfying.

He was traumatized looking at a beheaded corpse there too in episode 5 when blood was in his hands as the corpse was in front of him. Looked sick to his stomach. He's too used to his safe bubble in Japan that being reminded that this world is really dangerous with people unafraid to kill makes him not comfortable exactly, regardless of who beheads who and if the one dying is bad or not at least for the time being. He couldn't stop Ghislaine then cause she rescued him when they were in actual danger while being way too quick for him to react on time. Not like he was just fine with her killing someone in front of him while being contradictory to Ruijerd. In a world where killing is a lot more normalized, his perspective just clashes too much with that. He'll have to get used to it though to adapt in a dangerous world like that. Ruijerd clearly did go overboard too for a situation like that.

A new city introduced it seems peaceful at least and sandy Anakin's not gonna like this I hope Rudy does

I mean introducing themselves like that will surely clear any suspicions or fear from other villagers in the city at least, Eris is getting a bit homey towards Rudy I do like the sight of that showing that she too can be the best girl with proper screen time but nothing can compete the holy relic producer Ro-

Well Ruijerd has his reasons but the way he handles it is very similar to the past and if he plans to continue his decisions like that he can't move on from their history.

You know what, I've talked nothing but negative things about this show so far, but this was the first episode that was genuinely pretty good in my opinion. Not only did it have something to say, which was that its a bit wrong to judge others simply off of them being good or bad people, but also characterized these characters pretty well and showed off who they are. They all also acted pretty in character for who they are, even the character who i disliked the most. It had incredible pacing and kept my attention the whole way through because there was always something interesting for me going on and plus, we got to learn a bit more about this world. This show isn't amazing, but nor is it utterly terrible like I was beginning to think it was. One more episode to go now.

Well the dude is definitely quite extreme. He lives in a world where everything is either white or black, definitely not the mindset of someone who lived for hundreds of years. The new adventure story is good, but not as good as the first four episodes. Also surprisingly I miss Ghislaine, she really grew on me the last few episodes.

This show should stick to being a slice of life. The switch to action-adventure was so boring which is surprising for Isekai.

Damn Rujierd went off the rails there. I can sympathize though since his life has been sucking hard. That whole cave scene feels like a major tonal shift from the rest of the series.

I was fine with Eris until this episode where my opinion of her dropped. Not really liking how her ideals is slowly becoming "because Rudeus is right."

Is it really a new OP? It sounds like the 2nd verse of the 1st OP to me.

They're in a new city! It looks like an ancient middle-eastern city. As much as I like the idea of adventuring, I kinda grew attached to the last location of Roa. I kinda hope Rudeus and the others can go back there ASAP.

Ruijerd shows his true colors. Or rather, his different sets of morals. He's going to make Rudeus' job harder if he keeps acting like that.

New city, new beginnings?

Ruijerd rlly scared me after that whole killing sequence from him although it's understandable cause from his messed up background and seeing his perspective i can sympathize at least.
Tense/darker episode this was.

They have always shown how messed up Ruedy is mentally. They are also starting to show how Ruedy is actually still a child. He is saying killing is bad just for the sake of saying killing is bad. No actual real arguments. Then he is trying to gaslight the demon by saying I am saying this for your sake. NO U ARE NOT U LIAR, U r simply scared and can't handle seeing death. Rudy is actually a very bad person when u think about it. He sexually assaults women. Manipulates on a regular basis. Then get's on his moral high horse and judges others.

Very good episode, the god of men leaves a lot to be desired haha

That cape Rudeus bought Eris reminds me of one from Re:Zero, I just throw in an irrelevant fact haha.

The Tokurabu group doesn't seem to be much but good luck with their dream of becoming more famous.

Eris is a rollercoaster of emotions, sometimes she's very aggressive (like when they broke the cloak Rudeus gave her) and sometimes more insecure (like the part where she asks if she's going to make it back home and if the others are okay)

Ruijerd went straight to the point and eliminated it haha, here you can see that he is very direct and if something/someone is bad, he eliminates it but... it's not that simple for me, things are not Black and White, it has shades.... It's wrong what they do of kidnapping pets but they are not genocidal of villages.

Rudeus came up with a good plan to make more money and improve Superd's reputation.

PS: I've noticed that Eris trusts Rudeus a lot, but that doesn't mean that everything he's going to do is the right thing... we all make mistakes sooner or later

Rudeus is a pervert and sexually harasses his romantic interests a lot early on, but him being somewhat of a pacifist and not liking to hurt others is a very consistent character trait he has even in his past life. One might even consider it a serious flaw of his character considering the world he's in, as it's not a trait many other share. (you saw how unfazed Eris was at seeing people die already, twice now).


You´re not getting what I am trying to get at. His morality is the one of a hypocrite, because he is way worse than someone that kills "bad" people, yet he says that it is scary seeing death in front of him. Of course his past life has to do with that, because he couldn´t get shit done and he just closed to himself. Let´s be real, his hikkikomori past is greatly exaggerated to the reader can say "aw, poor guy, even though he is a pedophile" and it does not seem like he gets any new redeeming quality later on. This is not Welcome to the NHK levels of good hikkikomori writing, and he is nowhere near close guys like Edward Elric in terms of morality on why killing is bad. I guess the killing missions would only be for animals, or else he will become Naruto again and go pacifist, even when there was no reason for.

He also isn't really helping those demons so much as he's using them to make more money faster. He wants to use their rank to do better quests for better money. If he didn't do that, they'd be "in the red" for a long time for their finances, and they'd either need to think of a different way to make money or they'd lose significant progress on their journey as a result, or so his thought process concludes.


Yes, he is using them technically. but things would have gone wrong easily if they werent as weak as they seem right now. It also doesnt help that in this series 90% of the dudes are either bad or just sick perverts for no reason, so you know most of them are going to end being antagonists.


You're right, I'm not really sure what your argument is here. Is being a hypocrite really such a deplorable thing? I'd argue everyone has a hypocritical viewpoint somewhere, cognitive dissonance is a fairly common occurrence. I also don't think being a pedophile and being averse to murder are mutually exclusive, so maybe our disagreement stems from that.

I personally find murder to be a much worse crime than sexual harassment, so I don't really agree that he's "worse" morally speaking than someone else who would kill another without a second of hesitation or thought over it. And as Eris pointed out this episode, there's a problem with Ruijerd's black-and-white thinking as he also has done "bad" things before in his life, labeling him as an evil being by his own logic (an example of cognitive dissonance in action already).

The morals of this world and the morals of Earth are inherently different, even if you account just the difference in era. Killing people, especially in self-defense, is not something that is frowned on at all in this world seemingly, so Rudeus prioritizing his Earth-driven moral system is something that can create problems later on. It's also one of the things that makes him stand out to other people when you aside his magic prowess.

Him being good, evil, hypocritical, or whatever isn't actually that significant. He's a character, flaws and all. I think it's fine to actively not like traits or actions of a character, because at the end of the day they're just a character in a fictional story.

Eris is the last person I'd take a moral judgement from. Spoiled from a well-to-do family, her perception of the world is completely messed up, even more so to the hikkomori behind Rudy.

Ruijerd has a very strict moral code and we don't know what the rules are in the city they are located regarding criminal adventurers. Add the fact that the leader was posturing and attacked Rudy caused him to take action.

It's like playing D&D. You might want to try to negotiate first, but if they negotiation breaks down early, the gloves come off and you murder hobo your way through the confrontation. At least he didn't kill all three of them, only the one who posed a threat to Rudy.
