Mushoku Tensei Discussion Thread

Infancy: Volume 1-2
Juvenile: Volume 3-6
Youth: Volume 7-12
Young Man = Volume 13+
Magic Armor
I'd agree with this, but I'd personally just combine Volumes 1&2 into the Juvenile period, they're only 2 books.

Since it seems that the author has strongly implied that since volume 15 that Eris could not harm Orsted while Rudeus could and the snail shells.
It seems Eris and Ghislaine are pretty much equals (as of LN Volume 18), it's also stated that Ghislaine and Badigadi are equals.
Q: I thought Eris had Emperor-class power, but looking at her battle with the Northern Emperor, is the Sword God's assessment wrong and in fact she is still at the Sword King level of strength, as her current title suggests?

A: Currently Eris is about on par with Ghislaine, but there isn't that much difference between her and the two Sword Emperors or the Northern Emperor, Auber.

Auber, who overwhelmed her two-on-one, is, as he said, good at many-on-one battles, good at dealing with reckless opponents like Eris and Ghislaine, and thanks to teaching Eris the sword he has seen through her habits.

Battles aren't decided by numbers, so...
Q: When I hear the word Demon King it sounds like something from a fantasy, but is he actually on the same rank as Ghislaine?

A: In terms of overall fighting power though, they are roughly on the same rank.

I don't think it's a bad idea to combine them if in the end aqua hartia is taken into account anyway. The real big difference was that one was close to intermediate level as a swordsman and by volume 6 he already is.
It seems Eris and Ghislaine are pretty much equals (as of LN Volume 18), it's also stated that Ghislaine and Badigadi are equals.
Of ghislaine and Badigadi being comparable, yes. It was clear from the beginning that both of them are the basis for the King level. However, what about Eris creates contradictions for me or what Rifujin himself mentions, there is not really much difference between the emperor and king level.
 
Not really. The real big difference is whether or not Rudeus is intermediate as a swordsman and whether he harm Orsted, which at this point is more of an inconsistency.
How powerful was the stone cannon that injured Orsted? It wasn't King-tier and Rudeus became Emperor afterwards?
 
Yes.

OK.

Nah I don't think. It will just be like:
Speed: ? physically; ? with Magic Armor Mk 2; ? with Magic Armor Mk 0,1
Durability: ? physically; ? with Magic Armor Mk 2; ? with Magic Armor Mk 0,1
Wait, so there's no difference in speed between mk 1 and 0 at all?

Why are people saying Rudeus caps at emperor lol
Two big reasons come to mind
  1. He explicitly says he will never be able to use God-class magic, due to it requiring enormous volumes of mana, extreme control over that mana, and magic circles alongside chants to stabilize the spell.
  2. Every single Great Power is able to deal damage to Orsted.
The latter is particularly damning: Death God Randolph is weaker than Water God Reida, essentially confirming that the reason Orsted didn't take damage from her Sword of Deprivation was because of his own deflection techniques.

I always thought that Rudy could in theory learn a God-Class spell, but it would be pointless.

I don't know if I understood you correctly or not, but are you arguing that Rudeus should not have AP God level?

As for Reida...Orsted wasn't even using a technique, unless it was mentioned in the volume, he was simply saying that he deflected cuts with her bare hands.

And it is explicitly mentioned that Rudeus with his magical attacks can hurt Orsted and they already mentioned previously that Eris (emperor) even with the special sword needed the light sword to harm him. And they compares Rudeus' attacks with just that technique.
 
Someone argued with me that MT verse characters, even Orsted and the Fighting God armor have fodder durability. He said that the FGA only tanked the supercontinental explosion because of its ability to nullify magic(ik this exist). He said, "whatever that explosion is, it's magical", hence everyone that can damage that armor physically isn't continental (iirc, DDG Laplace can dismantle that armor with his bare claws right?). Idk how to continue that argument because I think my brain just exploded, and I'm not a native english speaker, so there are some english terms I do not understand and wanted to respond to, so I just ignored him for good..

What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?
That was already mentioned previously and is quickly invalidated since Badigadi is introduced and how the battle aura works.
 
What do you guys think?
Here's the Battle Aura lore, volume 9

“You get one shot.”

“…”

“Hit me with your very strongest magic. I’ll give you one chance, no more. Use the spell that hurt the Dragon God, perhaps. Should it manage to pierce my Battle Aura and do me harm, then you win. If I am undamaged, then I win. How does that strike you?”
From what Badigadi told me after the fact, his battle aura couldn’t be penetrated by anything less than King-level spells or sword techniques. Which meant you’d need to be on the level of a Ruijerd or a Ghislaine to even stand a chance against him. Since he relied on this to protect himself in combat, though, he apparently had a hard time beating people above that level.

Anyway… assuming he was telling me the truth, my fully-charged Stone Cannon was now as powerful as a King-tier spell. That was definitely nothing to sneeze at.

Of course, I was also a complete glass cannon. The swordfighters of this world could sheathe themselves in the protective veil of a battle aura without even thinking about it, but no matter how hard I trained, my body never gained that superhuman strength and speed that Eris and Ruijerd tapped into so easily. My muscles did get bigger, but that was about it. All I really had going for me was my attack power. I did supposedly have the mana capacity of a Demon God, for whatever that was worth, and thanks to my Eye of Foresight, I could go toe-to-toe with enemies a bit above my level. But my body itself remained totally ordinary. I’d basically stand no chance against a truly powerful adversary.
“You have an absurd amount of mana,” Badigadi interrupted. “I don’t understand why you’d train without cloaking yourself in Battle Aura.”

Again with the Battle Aura. I’d heard the words many times before, but everyone was always super vague about how you were supposed to ‘cloak’ yourself in it. This seemed like a golden opportunity. It couldn’t hurt to ask, right? “What exactly is Battle Aura, anyway?”

“It’s mana! Nothing more and nothing less.”

The way Badigadi explained things, it was basically a technique that used the mana in you to dramatically improve your body’s physical capabilities, strengthening yourself to unnatural extremes. That bit was more or less what I’d expected to hear. “How do you actually do that, though?”

“Simply spread a field of mana over every part of your body, then press it tightly against you!”
Badigadi went on to bluntly explain the reason for my failure. Normally, Battle Aura was something people began to automatically generate after spending some time doing physical training. On the other hand, I’d put in a good amount of effort on that front, but I still couldn’t cloak myself in the aura even when I tried. That meant I just didn’t have the knack for it.

This did happen now and then. Some people could never generate any Battle Aura at all, no matter how intense their training regimen.

“Bwahahaha! Not like you have any need of it, of course! Laplace never cloaked himself in Battle Aura either, but he was truly powerful!”

When he talked about my abilities, Badigadi often used the Demon God Laplace as a point of comparison. I assumed it was because he’d also possessed a massive supply of mana. “Did you actually meet Laplace, Sir Badi?”

“Indeed I did! He annihilated most of my body with a single blow. It took me some time to reform after that! I thought he’d actually killed me for a moment!
Bwahahahaha!”
Badigadi recently told me that the Stone Cannon I’d fired off at him had actually been on the Emperor level in terms of pure destructive power. Did that mean I could call myself an Emperor-class magician?

When I asked the professor, he said I could call myself anything I wanted.

Sensing a slight edge to that remark, I decided not to do so. It was hard to imagine any good would come from advertising myself as some master mage, anyway.
 
Is Orsted immune to some sort of soul manipulation
if the fact that Hitogami can snatch a divine jewel from the dragon god (considering that they must be directly connected to the soul) is considered soul manipulation, then knowing that Orsted has already fought with him once, this is possible
 
The verse has soul splitting and reincarnation and stuff like that. Does Orsted himself have soul manipulation?
Considering that Orsted already releases a special mana that affects souls (his curse which does not work on Rudeus just like Hitogami’s sweet one due to the fact that his soul is from another world) in theory he may be able to also influence souls like Hitogami + magic capable of killing ghosts (which are souls) + technique of the dragon tribe capable of killing immortal demons (which, logically, are reborn just like Laplace using a soul or a similar method)
 
The verse has soul splitting and reincarnation and stuff like that. Does Orsted himself have soul manipulation?
He seemingly does not have soul manipulation no, some magic just involves the soul by nature (like reincarnation).
 
Here are some feats and info from volume 19 of Mushoku Tensei:

Chapter 2:

.- Zanoba is naturally weak to fire magic
.- Orsted has an armor that makes you immune to fire when worn it. Rudeus gives this armor to Zanoba
.- Rudeus makes Zanoba a huge, super-strong club
.- Rudeus gives Zanoba a Net that immobilizes his enemy when thrown it
.- Rudeus gives Roxy a ring that automatically deploys barriers against physical attacks and a necklace that absorbs a fatal attack before breaking
.- Rudeus has the MKI, the MKII, and the gatling cannon in his set. Rudeus has the MKII equipped. MKI comes in parts and needs preparation to be used
.- Rudeus at this point does not use Aqua Hartia

Chapter 3

.- Randolph is the death god
.- Randolph is inferior to the gods of the three current styles
.- Rudeus able to give a good match against Randolph
.- Rudeus could attack Pax's palace from 1 km away

Chapter 4

.- Randolph is part human, part elf and part immortal demon

Chapter 6

.- Roxy is not very good with fire spells

Chapter 7

.- Rudeus able to perform 10 saint level spells continuously without problems for his amount of mana

Chapter 9

.- Radolph has the demonic eye of separation

Chapter 10

.- Radolph able to stop a blow from Zanoba's club with his bare hand, however his arm ends up giving way and breaking.
.- Radolph has a magic absorption stone in his glove
.- Radolph cuts Zanoba's armor but Zanoba's body is tougher
.- Pax knows how to use intermediate magic
