2024-05-14 00:40:59 +0000 UTCSo I haven't read the LN past where the show's at yet, so this is just be guessing at stuff, but I do have a theory as to what happened. I think the Man-God reached out and grabbed Rudeus from his previous life somehow, but whatever he did to do that picked up the two missing highschoolers too. I think that because Rudeus was intentional, and done with a controlled spell, the transfer of his soul was pretty much instantaneous. But when Nanahoshi was teleported, her entire physical form was essentially being moved from one spot to another. I think that took time. I think it took her five years of travelling (though it may have felt instantaneous) for her to get from earth to this planet. When she arrived, Either she arrived right where Rudeus was, somehow (which I doubt), or because Rudeus was brought there by the same technical magic, he himself became a sorta "ground zero" for the cataclysm. This also brings about a question. If she does get back, wtf is she gonna return to? The teleportation itself seemed to be somewhat random to the point you could land practically satelliting orbit like Sylphie, or underwater like lilia. What Rules even do apply to this appearantly interplanetary event? Plus Earth does not have the kind of resources or technical knowledge to deal effectively with a literal act of god. Season 1 on earth could be catastrophic. It's a super interesting mystery they're setting up here with her character, not to mention what it means for the political situation between the gods. I absolutely can't wait to see where this goes.

2023-09-06 20:17:17 +0000 UTCThis is a theory because I'm no LN reader, but it make sense that Nanahoshi wears a mask because she is Japanese and her face is totally diferent from the people of this world. In the anime we don't see the difference but it could be one of the reasons. About the other person that is missing, Rudeus came to this world 10 years before Nanahoshi. Could that guy came before in time?. Also he may not arribed yet.

2023-09-06 09:59:06 +0000 UTCAnime/Manga only. Maybe the difference in timing could have to do with what was being summoned. For Rudy all that was being summoned was his soul. With Nanahoshi and perhaps the friend, it was their entire being body and soul being transported. Maybe that changed how fast they could be moved from their original world to this one and might be the reason for the time difference. One more weird thing I just noticed is after the accident, the two teens were already gone, but Rudy was still in Japan dying. He didn't end up in the other world for another 30 minutes or so as he slowly died from his injuries. Though he was hearing Zeniths cries as he was fading in and out.

2023-09-06 08:54:00 +0000 UTCThis episode gave me anxiety just by the way they portrayed Rudeus fear through the facial animation and voice acting. Top tier stuff, with no action and almost entirely taking place in one room, this is one of the most captivating episodes in all of Mushoku Tensei.
