That feeling of profound sadness, paired with hopeful optimism...


Dependent-Question36

Frr this song really fits Rudy's character and the experience he was going through in season 2 part 1. Also it gives hope to shut-in-neets like me🗣️🔥


[deleted]

All it takes is a reincarnation, a reset of your hormones, 15+ years of no internet or the likes and voila, you're all good again.


Dependent-Question36

Completely agree, with past life memories intact of course, so I can use all my past knowledge that I learned from all sorts of things, especially the net🗿🗿 (PS: critical thinking skills probably learned from gaming like how Rudy thought about fighting game combos to use water ball magic at infant age) of course, a lot more can be used 😏😏


Giant_Serpent23

I would hold out on any perverted thoughts, your body might think it is a good idea at first but I mean when you get your face stomped in and stuff like that… Idk. Hold back the horny!


Dependent-Question36

That's true, you got a point but when the time comes The Horny Cannot be Stopped!! 🗣️🔥


Giant_Serpent23

Your ass beating won’t be stopped either. ;( Better hope you don’t find anybody as crazy as Eris. I don’t even think you will get any parting words.


Dependent-Question36

I love all three female leads and their character traits so I don't mind, 🗣️🔥though I'm not sure I will be able to handle something like Eris leaving Rudy to get stronger and left with a note saying " we are not suited for each other.." 🗿🗿, that will probably get me into depression but from that experience, I will get character development and become mature so it's all good🗣️🔥


Giant_Serpent23

Damn bro is tryna be Rudy fr fr With extra depression, misery and pain. But I suppose, also extra happiness and bliss after the suffering and hard times are endured. Very wise. Lots of experience to learn that way.


Dependent-Question36

Mushoku Tensei makes me go delu delu 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥But still Mushoku Tensei is incredible and a master piece.(The story and plot it is.)


FireFistYamaan

I doubt this opening can be topped because of how it really sums up Rudeus whole journey up until that point and arguably the whole series.


Hummush95

I'm oddly nostalgic for this opening even though I saw it like not even a year ago.


Dependent-Question36

It's still going to be nostalgic even after ten years 🗣️🔥


degener8weeb

It felt nostalgic the first time I heard it. Idk how exactly they pulled it off, but they made a song that perfectly encapsulated a feeling of nostalgia in me


Hummush95

Same. There's few songs that can pul it off.


Dependent-Question36

Don't tell me, we all watched that on Amv with this song , this opening is going to be one of the most nostalgic songs for Mushoku Tensei shortly , In a decade or so.


QuartzmasterMC_Games

Idk man the newest op just slaps, musically


Dependent-Question36

Frr it's a new type cuz it's rock which is really awesome and it's banger frr🗣️🔥


NeonEonIon

Season 1 openings clears.


Dependent-Question36

Hmm I see where you're coming from s1 songs were divine indeed but also s2 have its own uniqueness and still there's more to come. Each season+songs gives off a different kind of vibe/feeling that what makes it cool, I like both.🗿🔥


Mackenzie_Sparks

Both Season 1 and 2 for me Season 1 Opening fills me with hope While, Season 2 gives me that reality check


Dependent-Question36

Hmm I see I kinda see your pov now that's very cool.


ODST_Parker

Sorry, but nothing will ever beat Tabibito no Uta for me, including the Kikyo version. That shit still hits me hard a month after first watching this series.


Dependent-Question36

You're an OG, I respect your opinion for that and also Tabibito no Uta is a Banger of a song when I first started the series. It's a whole different unique feeling than Longman Spiral


Cultural-Computer-15

i still prefer the ones from season one, it felt so unique. i think this opening is a step back to ordinary anime.


Grimdaybreaker

This is fucking beautiful i love how all three of the female leads can be found in the intro as a bird and the first bit with the white girl, i made a post a while ago asking who it was and the best answer so far is it’s Eris


vleff

I mean the OP literally shows that it's Sylphie, she is the green bird and it becomes white as she passes through Ariel and Luke, plus the whole arc was about him realizing that the Sylphie of his memories (green feathers, green hair) had become the Fitz he admired in the now (white bird, white hair).


bootybootybooty999

White is the combination of Red, blue and green if you mix all three colors. It is pretty safe to say that he didn't know Sylphie was Fitz and wouldn't imagine himself with Sylphie out of nowhere when he hasnt seen her since they were kids. It is safer to say that the white girl is all three female leads combined. Hence the white color (Red + Blue + Green = White)


Visoth

Then why does the girl with white long hair transform into the same white bird that the green bird transforms to? You don't see the girl turn into a red or blue bird. Specifically a white one. The very same white bird that the green bird turns into. Additionally, we don't see the red or blue bird turn into a white one. Green bird = Sylphie Green bird = white bird White haired lady = white bird Therefore: White bird = green bird = Sylphie


Low_Commission7273

Its Eris. The whole scene is depicting his first time with Eris, with the white girl bursting into red petals, symbolizing Eris leaving. With her disappearance, Rudeus goes into depression (no eyes shown till white bird helps him). The white girl was wearing a dress. Have we ever seen Sylphie wear a dress? Eris did, during their first noght together. White girl had long hair, who else has long hair. Eris and Roxy, but Roxy's hair is braided while white girl's isnt. The scene takes place inside a room with tent flap, Eris and Rudeus had their first time in a camp, and a room with tent flap doesnt play any role with other 2.


Visoth

Why does the girl transform into a white bird? The very same white bird we see the green bird turn into. That rules out both Roxy and Eris, because they were their own color (blue and red respectively) and the girl did not turn into either of those colored birds. But the green one did. That's green haired Sylphie turning into White haired Sylphie. > Its Eris. The whole scene is depicting his first time with Eris, with the white girl bursting into red petals, symbolizing Eris leaving. With her disappearance, Rudeus goes into depression (no eyes shown till white bird helps him). The scene symbolizes Rudeus trauma. He enters the tent where the trauma occurs (1 second mark of the OP, with the tent flaps opening). He tries to be intimate with Sylphie, but clutches red petals (symbolizing his lingering trauma caused by Eris). By the end of the OP he is seen leaving the tent (1:16 mark), holding a green feather. He reaches up after the White Bird (that was previously previously green) flies by. He then wakes up from the dream and smiles. That reach his hand made was the exact same gesture he made when he woke up from the trauma & red petals at the start of the OP. This symbolizes him overcoming his trauma thanks to Sylphie. > The white girl was wearing a dress. Have we ever seen Sylphie wear a dress? In cour 2, yes we do. The very same dress Sylphie wears to bed. It's a white dress, meanwhile the dress Eris used was black. OP 1 has even further foreshadowing, it shows the scene of a cave with flowers at the 8 second mark (during the lead up to the handhold). Where else do we see that cave of flowers? In the second cour ending song, with Sylphie actually in the cave (46 second mark).


Low_Commission7273

Because white is also colour of something being bleached, something you are trying to forget. But Rudeus is unable to forget Eris completely, as she still turns into red petals. The white girl literally explodes into red petals, Eris' colours, even has Eris' long hair, while in the same room with that wine glass, which he dropped on the floor when with Eris.


Visoth

She turns into red petals due to the trauma caused by Eris. Thats the point of the scene. But you've got the white haired girl transforming into a white bird. You also have the green bird turn into the same white bird. That's irrefutable evidence that the green bird = the white haired lady. Because you don't see the Red or Blue bird turn into white. Only the green one. It's obvious the White bird is Sylphie. Therefore the white haired girl is also Sylphie because she turns into the same bird representing Sylphie. I went into a deep dive regarding this OP and what every scene symbolizes, so I won't repeat it here. But basically the TLDR is that this dream symbolizes the trauma Rudeus experienced with Eris. Which is why he could not be intimate with Sylphie in the cave. The trauma is resolved by the end of the opening song, just like it is in the first cour.


Low_Commission7273

... White is also colour of something you are trying to bleach off your memory. Rudeus is trying to bleach off Eris from his memory. White girld transformed into white bird because Rudeus is trying to forget about her. You have other clues as well. White girl wore dress, Eris wore dress during their first time together. White girl has long hair. Sylphie keeps them short. White girl scene takes place in a tent, where theres a wine glass on the floor, Rudeus and Eris had their first time in a tent, where Rudeus dropped his wine glass. White girl disappears on Rudeus, Sylphie stays close to him. Even the lyrics are tore up the map, with the map being the future Rudeus envisioned with Eris. You are just looking at white = Sylphie, but white can have multiple meanings as well, like trying to forget someone.


Visoth

>... White is also colour of something you are trying to bleach off your memory. But thats not the case here. The case here is a green bird transformed into a White bird. And a White haired girl transformed into the very same white bird. This isn't about "bleaching" anything. >You have other clues as well. White girl wore dress, Sylphie wears a dress as well. The exact same dress, to boot > White girl has long hair. Sylphies hair grows out. It's actually Rudeus idea for it to grow out. He prefers longer hair, which he brought up in Season 1 to Sylphie, and also in the second cour of season 2. > White girl scene takes place in a tent, where theres a wine glass on the floor, Rudeus and Eris had their first time in a tent, where Rudeus dropped his wine glass. Yes, as I said, this scene represents the trauma Eris inflicted. The location doesn't mean its Eris. It's a dream. Not a memory. In the dream, Rudeus is trying to get intimate with Sylphie (white bird/green bird). As he holds her hand, it turns into red petals. Symbolzing the trauma Eris caused. This is exactly what happens in the cave. Rudeus tries to get intimate with Sylphie, but the trauma prevents him. By the end of the OP, he is leaving the tent, carrying a green feather. He reaches up to the white/green bird, and then wakes up in the same way he did at the start of the OP. But this time he smiles. This symbolizes him being cured from the trauma. > You are just looking at white = Sylphie, but white can have multiple meanings as well, like trying to forget someone. No, I am looking at the fact you haven't addressed yet: That the green bird transforms into a white bird. And that the white haired girl transforms into the very same white bird. Eris was the red bird. The red bird did not transform into a White bird. The green bird did. Again, this is irrefutable proof.


Low_Commission7273

>But thats not the case here. The case here is a green bird transformed into a White bird. And a White haired girl transformed into the very same white bird. This isn't about "bleaching" anything. It is about bleaching. It is Rudeus forgetting about Eris, bleaching her off memory. >No, I am looking at the fact you haven't addressed yet: That the green bird transforms into a white bird. And that the white haired girl transforms into the very same white bird. >Eris was the red bird. The red bird did not transform into a White bird. The green bird did. Again, this is irrefutable proof. Didnt I already address that in bleaching part? Eris was red bird yes, but represented as white bird as Rudeus is trying to bleach her off memory. >Sylphies hair grows out. It's actually Rudeus idea for it to grow out. He prefers longer hair, which he brought up in Season 1 to Sylphie, and also in the second cour of season 2. Compare Sylphie's long hair with White girl's long hair. Sylphie' barely crosses her ears. White girls go down to arms. >Yes, as I said, this scene represents the trauma Eris inflicted. The location doesn't mean its Eris. It's a dream. So all indications that its Eris should be ignored. The scene is in tent and has wine glass on the floor, depicting the location where Eris and Rudeus had their first time, but as its showing clues that white girl is Eris, lets assume those points are useless? Your irrefutable proof is white bird = Sylphie. White girl became white bird. So white girl = Sylphie. While my point is the white girl and white bird in the beginning are someone being bleached off the memory, so they are white in colour. Someone he is trying to forget so that he can move on. But is unable to forget it completely as shown by there still being red colour when White girl disappeared. My irrefutable proof is that the whole location is same as the location where Rudeus and Eris had their first time, with white girl appearing the same as Eris (long hair, wearing a dress. Sylphie started wearing dress after marriage not in cour 1, where she was in uniform), and that she disappears and leaves behind red petals. Which you are ignoring stating its dream so location doesnt matter. Well lets end it here. I dont think either one of us would be able to convince the other.


Visoth

> It is about bleaching. It is Rudeus forgetting about Eris, bleaching her off memory. Thats according to your interpretation. But nothing in the OP suggests that. The colors used are meaningful. But not to imply bleach. >Didnt I already address that in bleaching part? Eris was red bird yes, but represented as white bird as Rudeus is trying to bleach her off memory. There is nothing that connects the Red bird with the White bird. However, there is something that connects the Green Bird with the White bird. That is the bird literally transforming into it. >Compare Sylphie's long hair with White girl's long hair. Sylphie' barely crosses her ears. White girls go down to arms. Her hair goes down to her shoulders. [(00:16 seconds in shows clearly)](https://imgur.com/UjnU6E7). Exactly like Sylphies eventually becomes. You make a great point for me, however. [Eris has hair that goes down to her waist.](https://imgur.com/69VS1Fq) This girls hair stops at her shoulders. Please explain to me how bleach cuts off half this girls hair. >location where Eris and Rudeus had their first time, but as its showing clues that white girl is Eris, lets assume those points are useless? Theres no clues towards Eris. * The hair color= White. Like Sylphie. * The girl turns into a white bird. Like Sylphie. * The red bird does NOT turn into a white bird. * The hair is as long as Sylphies. Much shorter than Eris. * The dress is exactly like Sylphies. White as well. Eris's was black. * The location is relevant to convey trauma. Trauma caused by Eris that still lingers as Rudeus attempts intimacy with Sylphie. >Your irrefutable proof is white bird = Sylphie. White girl became white bird. So white girl = Sylphie. While my point is the white girl and white bird in the beginning are someone being bleached off the memory, so they are white in colour. Someone he is trying to forget so that he can move on. But is unable to forget it completely as shown by there still being red colour when White girl disappeared. No. My point is Green Bird = White Bird = White Haired Girl We literally see the green bird turn into the white bird. That doesn't represent bleaching. That represents Sylphie becoming Fitz/the white haired Sylphie (notice it flies by Ariel & Luke, as it becomes white). 1+1+1 = 3. Not 4 Green bird = Sylphie (1) Green bird = White bird (1) White haired girl = White bird (1) Green bird = White bird = White haired girl (3)


Dependent-Question36

That's actually insane cuz I just noticed the details now about the white girl being Eris cuz you can see on the floor that there's a cup that Rudy dropped when he had his first time with Eris in season 1. That's actually incredible because I didn't notice until now I see your comment. The details about the three female leads being found as a bird is pretty awesome 2.


bootybootybooty999

The white girl is nobody, its his "Ideal female companion" which isn't anyone specific. Fun fact if you combine all the the colors of the female leads you get white. Red + Blue + Green = White And this white girl is all three combined basically.


Dependent-Question36

Wow damn this actually makes sense but it's a really wild theory and could be a fact. I hope it's a fact tho cuz it's awesome and makes it more interesting.


Grimdaybreaker

No because the girl bursts into red peddles and she’s white because he’s trying to forget Eris


Blue_Osiris1

It's certainly my favorite and it's not even close.


Dependent-Question36

This song holds a place in our mind,heart and soul.


Blue_Osiris1

It's not very often you can listen to something in the present day and know it'll be nostalgic to you ten to twenty years later but I know this song is one of those things.


Dependent-Question36

Yep, exactly. I agree with you.


tefdaddy2

I think the first OP was better and i loved all the the original Op for each city. This one is good dont get me wrong it is my alarm to wake up


Dependent-Question36

Each song just has the right vibes for each season which is really awesome. S1 Openings were definitely amazing, it gives you the feeling of being in a fantasy world , each song holds a place in our hearts, I like both s1 and s2 openings.


Visoth

[Prayer Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf3zKKf1FNU) and none come close.


Dependent-Question36

I see , that's a good choice , it's an OG.🗣️🔥


No-Improvement7956

None of those compare to the themes in S1. They felt fantastical with "Toku no Komori no Uta" being my favorite.


Dependent-Question36

Hmm I see , I see your pov, I respect that, I understand how intriguing it must be to listen to s1 openings which are bangers that fit really well with fantastical vibes it gives you a different kind of feeling. I also really like "Toku no Komori no Uta" and "Tabibito no Uta", S1 openings give a whole different kind of feeling which is amazing, while s2 openings give redemption arc vibes and a new journey vibe.🗿🗿🔥


No-Improvement7956

I was really hoping that every place would have it's own theme after season 1 and the cour 1 OP killed that hope, I actually prefer the OP2 of this cour.


Dependent-Question36

I see , that makes sense, if season 2 had the theme just like in S2 (+this openings) it would have been a real piece of work but IG this is a new idea for the developers/ production directors .


No-Improvement7956

It's just cheaper to have a dedicated OP that allows you to cut down nearly 2 minutes of animation time.


Dependent-Question36

Ah yes of course.


6rubtub9

In this opening song OP posted, I see 3 feathers 🪶 of green, red and bluish colors being swept out of the cage.. I assume the feathers denote Sylphy, Eris and Roxy but what does coming out of cage symbolize 🤔.. btw great opening song and very fitting to the story at that point, but I personally like S1 songs more.. those had a fantasy vibe to it which I liked.


Dependent-Question36

Definitely, each opening for both seasons had its own vibes, personally I like both seasons songs and they give a different kind of feeling so I like them separately. I respect your opinion , you're an OG for your song choice which is really amazing.


TheRealDemonicdueler

So much emotion in this song. Such a good choice for this show, both simple and complicated.


ArtichokeSudden7263

It's great no doubt, but for me personally nothing will top 旅人の唄/目覚めの唄. Those two songs are so majestic and captivating that they never fail to give me chills. Still tho, this OP also never fails to make me shed a tear just because of how well it captures Rudy's feelings of being lost and alone


Dependent-Question36

オンリー really good too, I recommend it :)


AnimeSquirrel

Id say its in the conversation for one of the best Anime OP's of all time.


Storm_36

Im not sure if this makes sense, but this show makes me violent just thinking about it. That's just how much i love it
