Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation - Episode 12 Review - Rudeus Meets Kishirika

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Mushoku Tensei is finally back! It’s been two seasons since the first cour ended with Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Episode 11. 

Rudeus, Eris, and Ruijerd have been adventuring together for a year. They’ve arrived at a coastal city. This is the first time Eris has seen the ocean and she’s excited about it. She wants to swim and is even ready to strip down naked. Perverted Rudeus is still perverted and excited to see 13 year-old Eris get naked, but Ruijerd says there are monsters in the ocean, so she shouldn’t. 

Unknown to Rudeus, Roxy, Talhand and Elinalise have landed in the same city after their sea voyage! Rudy almost spots them, but just misses seeing them. This happens multiple times in the ep! How frustrating!

Rudeus’ party find out how much it costs to travel from the Demon Continent where they are to the Millis Continent, where home is. Because one is “posing” as a Superd, the fee is higher. As ship staff don’t usually want Superd on their boat. The cost for a Superd is 2,000 green ore coins, which is ridiculously expensive.

So now Rudeus’ party need to try to figure out how to get that much money.

Rudeus sleeps and has a dream with the mysterious god who gave him advice last time, which was a year ago. The god gives advice again, to bring food into an alley.

While Rudeus does this, Eris and Ruijerd spar. Eris finally gets a hit on Ruijerd when he is distracted by a spying Roxy.

In the alley, Rudeus meets a homeless-looking cloaked girl who is starving. He gives the food and she instantly recovers. She introduces herself as Kishirika Kishirisu, the Great Emperor of the Demon World!

Kishirika offers to grant a wish. But she can’t give money, half the world, or her body like Rudeus asks for. 

So without asking permission, she sticks a demon eye into Rudeus’ right eye! It’s painful and bloody but heals quickly. Then Kishirika dashes off. I’m sure we’ll see her again.

Rudeus soon realizes that this is the Eye of Foresight. And we can see up to two seconds into the future! The first time he uses it he saves a stranger from pots falling on his head.

It takes a week for Rudy to get used to the eye. After that, he practices using it by battling Eris. Eris is amazing, but Rudeus is finally able to beat her. Which upsets Eris, as she’s tried hard to keep up with him.

Overnight, Rudeus almost sells the staff he got from Eris, to make the trip money. Ruijerd catches him and scolds him for trying to solve the problem on his own. Ruijerd also says he’ll allow Rudeus to do underhanded things to get them home.

Then the stranger from before shows up and introduces himself to the two. His name is Gallus Cleaner.
