We knew for a long time that Rudeus wouldn't see the man gods defeat. Mushoku is the story of his life, which ends in death, as all life does. And after he's dead, why should he care about what happens next. He did all he could, all he wanted, and when his time came, he passed quietly, surrounded by friends and family. I think the ending couldn't have been better.

@Petrtep Then I think the author should've omitted that part at the end with the Man-God completely, or at least the one where he tells Rudy how he plans to ruin his children. Leaving things open like this is really only needed if you plan a sequel, for instance one that follows the lives of his children or something.

Furthermore there are other missing closures (another spoiler alert) -

We can never know everything in life, that is just a fact. At the end, the Man god tries to threaten Rudy, but Rudy does not care, and even wishes him good luck. I think that speaks for itself. He has done all he could, now its time for others to shine.

The displacement incindent is a mysterious event that sets in motion the whole story. Not all mysteries need to be solved, I would have preferred to never learn how it happened.

I feel the same way, the final fight, while grand in scale, lacked in imagination, and was solved by a deus ex MECH-ina (haha, Mk 0 is a mech, soo funny).
The character development and day to day life of Rudeus, and his usage/study of magic is what I like about Mushoku, I just find it so captivating

Lol.

Honestly, there's only a few fights I'm genuinely looking forward to in the anime. When I think of scenes I really want to see, I can only come up with other stuff.

Two that come to mind from the upcoming cour are probably Rudeus breaking into Norn's room and talking to her.

And the second one, which is stupidly very close to my heart, is when Rudeus comes back to Sharia and just blindly runs home without even looking at anything else. That made me cry so much in the LN. Hope they nail the mood and music there.

Wasn't Man-God's "there's gonna be chaos down the road" just his last ditch effort to make Rudeus panic to satisfy his sadism? I really felt like a bluff, imo.

@MavikBow Maybe. At that point Rudy had already died so not much he could do about it, unless he reincarnates again or something (could be an idea for a sequel tbh)

Also there's no mention whether Nanahoshi ever managed to return to Earth or not. Those are just examples, there are probably more things that I've missed.


I just finished reading volume 26 and I’m pretty sure it was in Rudeus’ diary section that he says if you’ve come to this world from his old world then it is possible to get back and to follow the steps of Silent Sevenstar. So I’m pretty sure Nanahoshi got back to Japan.

@Junichi_Hashiba
Yes it was in the diary that the teleportation was successful but nowhere did it honestly say that Nanahoshi made it back to Japan. Could've died after vanishing or something similar. We can only hope she made it back. They managed to summon a plastic bottle in one of the volumes but not more that that, as far as I remember. But this is stuff we'll have to fantasize our self.
I really enjoyed this series anyways. Can't wait to read the "spin-off".

@Azuchi Did I miss something? Oldeus diary specifically stated that Nanahoshi failed. The plan the the Nanahoshi followed that we know was to sleep until her time comes where she can fulfull whatever purpose she was brought into this world for, we know from the last epilogue/prologue chapter what that purpose was. This is after Rudeus lifetime though.
Rudeus and her made a promise that he would spread her name so that others will find a way to her because she believed that it was her purpose to guide another transported person (ideally her bf) so all he did was work towards that. It's not mentioned if any of it was actually successful.

@saketsahu A lot. The anime isn't even halfway through rn, and anyway it's incredibly rare for a light novel to be adapted by an anime all the way to the end.

@saketsahu From the looks of it of how they are pacing it, probably 5 seasons of 24 episode-core with a season 6 as a finale. But yeah, after this season volume 12 will be concluded which there are 26 volumes in total.

@saketsahu It is depressing to think, maybe AI will help bring anime out faster, but also with more animation on most frames, because otherwise I feel we would need to wait at least till 2032 to see this ending.

The ending was super unsatisfying to me, I think the author shouldve invented some way to get laplace to spawn early and actually have rudeus beat the mangod together with his kids (maybe a small timeskip of a decade or two for that). As it stands the last volume left me incredibly disappointed

I liked that it didn't happen. The world didn't bend to satisfy the audience's desire to see a satisfying climax. The ending was realistic. MT is story of Rudues story and the fact that it ends with him being a bigger and better man than Man God is perfect conclusion. The man god tries everything but at the end Rudues tries to sympathize with him and wishes him best luck. After all as far as story of MT is concerned , the Man God is also trying to survive and live his best life. It was fitting conclusion for him rather than him fighting with Man God at the end.

@RythmicMercy Good answer.
I also like the fact that Rudeus didn't have to fight Man God and that it ended the way it did. Quite a perfect ending in my opinion, makes you start imagining yourself of the future. Unless Rifujin now writes it. Redundant seems to be quite the immediate sequel of Rudeus life so it seems that it won't go that far with his children.
