<b>III</b>

00:00.480 --> 00:04.730
<b><i>Mushoku Tensei</i></b>

00:00.480 --> 00:04.730
<b><b><i>Jobless Reincarnation</i></b></b>

00:02.840 --> 00:04.120
The future?

00:05.000 --> 00:07.390
So, you're... my future self?

00:07.390 --> 00:13.250
Yes. I'm you about fifty years from now.

00:15.520 --> 00:19.500
You can't just say that and 
expect me to buy it.

00:19.500 --> 00:23.500
I know your old name.

00:23.500 --> 00:26.930
Isn't that reason enough to believe me?

00:26.930 --> 00:29.680
This world has a thing called magic.

00:29.680 --> 00:32.000
I wouldn't be shocked if you 
could read my memories.

00:32.000 --> 00:38.800
If I could read memories by magic, 
why couldn't I use it to time travel?

00:42.300 --> 00:48.600
Sorry, but I don't have time to explain 
the theory behind teleporting to the past.

00:48.600 --> 00:54.830
I hate to sound like a Hollywood movie, 
but there's really no time. Just listen.

00:54.830 --> 00:56.570
A Hollywood movie...

00:57.220 --> 00:59.950
Are you really... me?

01:00.740 --> 01:01.960
But...

01:02.870 --> 01:05.260
There's nothing in the basement.

01:05.970 --> 01:09.920
I went to the basement and 
thought there was nothing there.

01:09.920 --> 01:14.710
Later on, the Man-God says,

01:14.710 --> 01:18.220
"that's all right, then," so I let it go.

01:18.510 --> 01:20.970
But that was a mistake.

01:21.270 --> 01:22.720
A mistake?

01:22.720 --> 01:25.720
A few weeks after I went to the basement,

01:26.190 --> 01:28.470
Roxy died.

01:35.000 --> 01:37.140
She died?

01:37.140 --> 01:39.610
How would just going to the 
basement make that happen?!

01:39.840 --> 01:42.340
Yeah, I get where you're coming from.

01:42.340 --> 01:45.050
Just keep your cool and listen.

01:46.950 --> 01:50.910
I'm not sure, but I think 
there's a rat down there.

01:50.910 --> 01:53.510
A rat that's sick.

01:53.510 --> 01:57.630
If you open the door, 
it will startle the rat,

01:57.630 --> 02:00.210
and it will run... into the kitchen.

02:00.210 --> 02:03.930
It will nibble on yesterday's leftovers.

02:04.450 --> 02:11.320
Aisha will dispose of the leftovers by 
feeding them to stray cats the next day.

02:11.320 --> 02:18.320
But before she does, Roxy will 
get hungry and snack on them.

02:18.720 --> 02:23.250
As a result, Roxy will catch 
the disease the rat had.

02:23.250 --> 02:24.330
What disease?

02:24.670 --> 02:26.320
Petrification sickness.

02:27.700 --> 02:34.340
It will slowly turn her body to 
manatite until it kills her.

02:34.340 --> 02:36.130
No one will notice at first.

02:36.130 --> 02:41.450
After all, people don't get 
petrification sickness that often.

02:41.450 --> 02:48.360
The pathogen only infects another life 
that makes its home in the body.

02:48.360 --> 02:50.470
Another life?

02:51.730 --> 02:53.350
You don't mean...

02:53.620 --> 02:55.120
A fetus.

02:56.860 --> 02:59.550
Hang on. Roxy isn't—

02:59.550 --> 03:01.620
I'm sure she's pregnant.

03:01.620 --> 03:06.740
But that's not a problem—or a surprise, 
considering what you've been up to.

03:07.630 --> 03:11.670
Petrification sickness 
turns mice into carriers.

03:11.670 --> 03:15.880
Their teeth become purple crystal, 
so they're easy to spot.

03:16.210 --> 03:19.650
The infection can only 
be transmitted orally.

03:19.650 --> 03:24.620
The pathogen alters the fetus, turning it
to manatite along with its mother.

03:25.640 --> 03:29.510
And Roxy is going to catch this thing?

03:30.750 --> 03:35.040
If you thoughtlessly go to the basement,

03:35.040 --> 03:38.150
Roxy will develop a fever within days.

03:38.720 --> 03:41.410
And then, she'll die.

03:44.730 --> 03:46.350
She didn't get better?

03:46.350 --> 03:47.860
Didn't you try to cure her?

03:48.900 --> 03:54.240
In an effort to save her, 
I traveled to the Holy Country of Millis

03:54.240 --> 03:59.380
and got my hands on an incantation 
for god-class detoxification magic.

03:59.650 --> 04:03.680
But by the time I got home, 
it was already too late.

04:03.680 --> 04:04.760
No...

04:06.030 --> 04:11.060
It was another thirty years 
before I put it all together.

04:11.060 --> 04:13.080
The Man-God told me.

04:13.440 --> 04:16.190
Don't let him trick you.

04:16.530 --> 04:20.690
With what you know from your past life, 
you ought to see at least that much.

04:21.260 --> 04:25.820
He's the root of all evil, the last boss.

04:30.350 --> 04:33.790
But, I mean... Why Roxy?

04:33.790 --> 04:36.560
I still don't know.

04:37.080 --> 04:40.830
But I know he did it for a reason.

04:41.220 --> 04:44.510
At the end, he told me,

04:44.830 --> 04:50.960
"Because you're such an idiot, 
everything went just the way I wanted."

04:50.960 --> 04:52.470
Damn it.

04:52.470 --> 04:54.910
The Man-God said <i>that?</i>

04:54.910 --> 05:00.450
I figure Orsted might have 
a clue what he's after,

05:00.450 --> 05:05.660
but in fifty years, 
I never managed to find him.

05:06.390 --> 05:09.860
Didn't Nanahoshi know where Orsted was?

05:13.420 --> 05:15.740
What happened to Nanahoshi?

05:16.600 --> 05:21.220
Her experiments failed at the very end.

05:21.660 --> 05:28.470
She grew depressed, 
I failed to help her out of it, and then...

05:29.920 --> 05:31.390
I get it.

05:31.390 --> 05:32.900
You can stop there.

05:32.900 --> 05:35.390
Good. I don't want to say it, either.

05:37.560 --> 05:41.190
Listen. You'll find 
this out for yourself,

05:41.190 --> 05:44.260
but the Man-God wasn't 
originally called that.

05:44.260 --> 05:45.660
What do you mean?

05:45.660 --> 05:50.230
"Human God" is apparently 
what they used to call him.

05:50.640 --> 05:53.540
But he calls himself the Man-God now.

05:53.800 --> 05:55.290
What does he do that for?

05:55.290 --> 05:56.490
Hell if I know.

05:56.490 --> 05:59.120
No good reason, that's for sure.

06:00.060 --> 06:06.000
Everything he said seemed to 
be for my benefit at first.

06:06.410 --> 06:10.600
And to be fair, he never 
lied to me before now.

06:11.010 --> 06:13.850
Not so I'd be able to tell, anyway.

06:14.390 --> 06:18.010
It was all for this once,

06:18.010 --> 06:23.100
this one moment 
when your suspicious ass

06:23.100 --> 06:25.360
would obey without question!

06:26.350 --> 06:28.290
Don't fall for it!

06:28.290 --> 06:30.180
You read it in a manga, remember?

06:30.180 --> 06:34.820
People who talk about trust easily are 
exactly the ones who deceive others!

06:34.820 --> 06:36.900
I mean, I get that, but—

06:36.900 --> 06:38.200
You get nothing!

06:38.550 --> 06:43.580
After Roxy, next... next comes Sylphie!

06:51.170 --> 06:57.940
Losing Roxy breaks your heart, leaving
you unable to care for Sylphie for a while.

06:57.940 --> 07:04.330
She feels hurt and depressed, and the
Man-God uses Luke to take advantage.

07:04.330 --> 07:05.520
Luke?

07:05.820 --> 07:12.720
Luke advises Ariel, 
and Sylphie leaves me to go to Asura.

07:13.040 --> 07:17.200
With Ariel, even though she 
failed to win over Perugius!

07:17.730 --> 07:21.940
Ariel starts a civil war... and loses.

07:22.320 --> 07:24.700
Sylphie is killed in action.

07:24.700 --> 07:27.470
Killed? Sylphie dies?

07:27.470 --> 07:31.600
You lose both of them.

07:31.600 --> 07:37.530
Oh, I can still hear his voice 
when he explained the trick.

07:37.530 --> 07:41.070
The feel of his hand 
patting me on the back...

07:41.070 --> 07:43.970
That shrill laugh of his...

07:43.970 --> 07:45.560
Damn it!

07:45.560 --> 07:48.440
Damn him to hell!

07:51.810 --> 07:55.460
I'll say it again: don't trust him.

07:55.460 --> 07:57.670
You'll regret it.

08:01.950 --> 08:06.110
That said, I bet you're 
wondering what you <i>should</i> do.

08:06.660 --> 08:09.890
You'd better start... with Eris.

08:10.190 --> 08:11.390
Eris?

08:11.390 --> 08:15.880
I want you to write her 
a letter right now.

08:16.250 --> 08:20.640
"Sure, I cheated a bit, 
but I still love you."

08:20.640 --> 08:22.060
I don't love her!

08:22.060 --> 08:24.490
I ended up with ED because of her.

08:24.490 --> 08:29.500
Let it slide. Show you're a real man.

08:29.500 --> 08:36.190
Of course, I couldn't forgive her, 
so we ended up enemies for years.

08:36.190 --> 08:37.280
You did?

08:37.280 --> 08:41.770
Eris nearly killed me more 
times than I can count.

08:42.190 --> 08:45.160
She followed me everywhere,

08:45.160 --> 08:48.560
and every time she spotted me, 
it turned into a fight.

08:48.960 --> 08:53.050
Still, I guess she went easy on me.

08:53.050 --> 08:58.380
There were so many ways she could've 
killed me if she really wanted to.

08:58.740 --> 09:05.150
But she didn't, and when I was in real 
trouble, she helped me on the sly.

09:05.150 --> 09:09.580
Like she was the prince of 
all veggies or something.

09:11.380 --> 09:15.240
She loved me the whole time.

09:15.650 --> 09:19.730
But she's bad with words and 
didn't know what else to do,

09:19.730 --> 09:22.700
so she always fell back on her fists.

09:22.700 --> 09:26.910
I mean, there was a time 
when I was into Eris,

09:26.910 --> 09:29.310
but I've got Sylphie and Roxy now.

09:29.310 --> 09:31.140
Not a problem.

09:31.140 --> 09:35.890
They'll understand if you explain 
yourself ahead of time.

09:36.390 --> 09:41.210
Admit it. You're still carrying 
a torch for Eris yourself.

09:44.300 --> 09:45.970
Easy for you to say.

09:45.970 --> 09:51.080
What's wrong with making space for 
every woman who says she loves you?

09:51.080 --> 09:54.450
Don't give me that just because 
it's not your problem.

09:55.540 --> 09:59.090
I have no one left.

09:59.450 --> 10:02.440
I'm telling you because it <i>is</i> my problem.

10:04.290 --> 10:10.030
Eris worked so hard for 
so long to be with me.

10:10.030 --> 10:14.580
"What was it all for 
if you won't let her in?"

10:14.920 --> 10:18.410
That's what Ghislaine says 
when she lets you have it.

10:19.020 --> 10:21.770
In front of Eris's corpse.

10:24.180 --> 10:26.850
Eris dies, too?

10:26.850 --> 10:31.520
Yeah. Shielding me in a fight.

10:32.990 --> 10:36.600
So, you'd better send that letter.

10:36.600 --> 10:38.860
Unless you want more regrets.

10:38.860 --> 10:42.970
O-Okay, well, if you put 
it that way, I'll do it.

10:42.970 --> 10:44.710
But where do I send it?

10:45.070 --> 10:49.460
To the Sword Sanctum. 
That can't be a total surprise.

10:50.490 --> 10:53.540
Don't write anything to push her away.

10:53.540 --> 10:58.090
If Eris gets desperate, 
you'll get murdered.

10:58.090 --> 10:59.350
I know.

11:00.930 --> 11:03.800
I didn't.

11:03.800 --> 11:08.300
Even though I should have 
known what Eris was like.

11:08.840 --> 11:12.810
She never thought she'd abandoned me.

11:12.810 --> 11:16.080
But I didn't understand.

11:16.080 --> 11:20.740
We weren't on the same page, 
and it made us both miserable.

11:24.250 --> 11:27.050
One important thing I forgot to tell you:

11:27.050 --> 11:28.920
Don't try to fight the Man-God.

11:29.260 --> 11:32.350
Don't fight him? But he's tricking me.

11:32.350 --> 11:35.800
Yeah. But you can't beat him.

11:36.150 --> 11:40.800
I can never get to where the Man-God is.

11:42.040 --> 11:45.800
I shook when I figured that out.

11:46.290 --> 11:51.340
I can't even get him back 
for Roxy and Sylphie.

11:53.040 --> 11:58.890
After everything I did to beat him, 
he's out of my reach.

11:58.890 --> 12:02.600
He'll never show up
where I can get at him.

12:02.600 --> 12:08.340
I can float through the air and 
communicate across long distances.

12:08.340 --> 12:14.070
Hell, I even learned to leap through 
time and zip back to the past.

12:14.500 --> 12:18.120
Then again, this spell was a failure.

12:18.120 --> 12:19.350
It was?

12:20.260 --> 12:23.910
This world's magic can do anything.

12:23.910 --> 12:27.770
Not much is beyond you 
once you realize that.

12:27.770 --> 12:30.840
Not even regrowing your missing arm.

12:31.150 --> 12:35.620
But this kind of power is pointless now.

12:36.020 --> 12:42.720
By the time I got strong, I'd already 
lost everyone I wanted to protect.

12:43.890 --> 12:45.600
H-Hey!

12:46.060 --> 12:47.680
Are you hurt?

12:50.660 --> 12:53.780
Listen. I'll say it again.

12:53.780 --> 12:57.880
You can't beat the Man-God. 
There's no way to win.

12:57.880 --> 13:03.480
So, butter him up if you have to,

13:03.480 --> 13:07.600
but don't try to fight him.

13:08.620 --> 13:12.350
You need to do three things:

13:12.350 --> 13:14.790
Ask Nanahoshi for advice.

13:14.790 --> 13:17.310
Send a letter to Eris.

13:17.310 --> 13:21.000
Doubt the Man-God, 
but don't antagonize him.

13:21.790 --> 13:24.370
This is all way too sudden.

13:24.370 --> 13:27.380
Don't you have any more 
specific advice for me?

13:27.380 --> 13:29.200
Advice?

13:30.260 --> 13:32.290
That takes me back.

13:32.290 --> 13:36.390
Come to think of it, 
I'd gotten pretty soft by now.

13:36.700 --> 13:42.790
Well, I'd like to give 
you more detail myself,

13:42.790 --> 13:44.640
but my time's up.

13:44.640 --> 13:48.530
Why do you keep saying you 
"don't have time" or your "time's up"?

13:48.530 --> 13:50.980
Is a late-night anime 
about to start, or what?

13:51.330 --> 13:54.660
No. It's about to end.

13:55.220 --> 13:59.510
Anyway, don't count on other 
people to fix your problems.

13:59.510 --> 14:05.720
You didn't start your life in this world 
constantly begging for help, remember?

14:06.210 --> 14:12.120
And my coming here like this 
must have changed history.

14:12.120 --> 14:15.020
Now that it's come to this,

14:15.020 --> 14:20.880
the history I went through won't change.

14:24.760 --> 14:30.260
You'll lead... 
a different life... from mine.

14:30.900 --> 14:34.260
Like always, you'll win some,

14:34.260 --> 14:36.260
and you'll lose some.

14:36.260 --> 14:38.770
You'll learn lessons

14:39.050 --> 14:40.830
and have regrets.

14:43.500 --> 14:44.190
Hey!

14:44.190 --> 14:45.970
Are you okay?!

14:48.800 --> 14:52.600
Don't think... my coming from the future

14:52.600 --> 14:57.160
means you can undo your mistakes.

14:57.600 --> 15:03.000
The truth is... in life, 
there are no do-overs.

15:04.410 --> 15:08.290
All I've been through is written in here.

15:04.590 --> 15:13.730
<b>Diary</b>

15:04.590 --> 15:13.730
<b>Rudeus Greyrat</b>

15:08.290 --> 15:13.370
Do what you can to make sure... 
you have no regrets.

15:14.310 --> 15:17.570
Don't let that bastard laugh at you.

15:17.960 --> 15:22.240
Don't... be like me.

15:22.510 --> 15:24.850
What happened to you?

15:26.270 --> 15:30.260
My time warp wasn't good enough...

15:30.260 --> 15:33.410
to bring my whole body.

15:33.410 --> 15:36.050
But you just said you 
could regrow your arm.

15:36.050 --> 15:38.900
I've got no mana left.

15:39.520 --> 15:45.620
If only Cliff were alive, 
it would have gone better.

15:45.620 --> 15:49.620
I could have told you... a little more...

15:51.460 --> 15:54.960
I'm sorry. You've said enough. 
Don't try to talk.

15:56.470 --> 16:00.000
Your... regrets...

16:00.380 --> 16:03.980
play into the Man-God's...

16:04.490 --> 16:07.850
Why like this?

16:07.850 --> 16:10.250
I need to say...

16:10.250 --> 16:12.980
I'm in the past, so...

16:13.640 --> 16:16.910
I want... at least one look...

16:19.870 --> 16:24.130
Oh, Sylphie, Roxy.

16:24.890 --> 16:26.590
Damn it.

16:27.230 --> 16:32.610
You're still as cute as ever.

16:50.450 --> 16:54.390
Rudy, I thought I heard voices and noises.

16:54.390 --> 16:55.550
Is someone else there?

16:55.550 --> 16:57.140
Is it a burglar?

16:57.140 --> 16:59.610
Sorry, I was kind of half-asleep.

16:59.610 --> 17:02.860
I had a weird dream and did magic.

17:02.860 --> 17:05.130
You did magic half-asleep?

17:05.130 --> 17:06.720
Are you all right?

17:06.720 --> 17:08.990
I can sleep with you if you're 
having nightmares again.

17:12.260 --> 17:14.300
No, I'm fine. For today, anyway.

17:14.620 --> 17:15.880
Rudy?

17:16.150 --> 17:19.880
Really, I'm fine. Go back to your rooms.

17:20.300 --> 17:22.790
I'll clean up, then turn in.

17:25.420 --> 17:28.400
If something's bothering you, 
don't hesitate to tell us.

17:28.400 --> 17:29.710
Thanks.

17:30.050 --> 17:32.910
In that case, do me one favor.

17:33.280 --> 17:36.600
I'd like you both to stay in 
your rooms all night tonight.

17:36.850 --> 17:40.690
Stay in our rooms? Uh... why?

17:40.690 --> 17:42.500
Well...

17:43.820 --> 17:45.330
All right.

17:45.330 --> 17:47.470
If you say so, Rudy, we will.

17:49.300 --> 17:50.960
You're right.

17:50.960 --> 17:53.130
Okay. If you say so, Rudy.

17:56.840 --> 17:59.100
Well then, good night.

17:59.100 --> 18:00.460
Night, Rudy.

18:00.460 --> 18:02.240
Thanks. Night.

18:11.070 --> 18:16.590
<i>It was all so sudden. I still can't fully 
believe it, but one thing's for sure:</i>

18:17.010 --> 18:19.500
<i>I don't want to lose the two of them.</i>

18:20.450 --> 18:25.300
<i>And I don't want to die full 
of regrets like that old man.</i>

19:30.610 --> 19:34.470
<i>I'll bury his bones in the 
same place as Paul's.</i>

19:34.900 --> 19:39.400
<i>If the old guy really was me, 
it's what he'd want.</i>

19:49.030 --> 19:52.540
<i>The old guy told me not to go. Still...</i>

19:59.000 --> 20:02.890
I'm not sure, but I think 
there's a rat down there.

20:15.790 --> 20:17.060
Frost Nova.

20:19.680 --> 20:20.950
Frost Nova.

20:52.140 --> 20:57.140
<i>I'll give the body to the 
Mages' Guild to study.</i>

20:57.510 --> 21:02.090
If I report what the old man told me 
about petrification sickness,

21:02.090 --> 21:04.700
<i>I should be able to find out 
if he was on the level.</i>

21:05.200 --> 21:07.940
<i>What should I do first?</i>

21:08.260 --> 21:11.100
<i>What can I do right now?</i>

21:13.320 --> 21:17.920
<i>Reading this might tell me what's coming.</i>

21:17.920 --> 21:28.430

21:18.270 --> 21:20.920
<i>But he said history would change.</i>

21:20.920 --> 21:25.180
<i>To borrow a term from a game, 
I'm in a different world line,</i>

21:25.180 --> 21:28.100
<i>a world that future me 
coming here changed.</i>

21:28.430 --> 21:34.170
<i>I can study this diary, but there's a 
good chance things won't go the same way.</i>

21:36.320 --> 21:40.100
You need to do three things:

21:40.100 --> 21:42.600
Ask Nanahoshi for advice.

21:42.600 --> 21:45.080
Send a letter to Eris.

21:45.080 --> 21:48.990
Doubt the Man-God, 
but don't antagonize him.

21:52.310 --> 21:56.820
<i>I can't just forget about 
the diary and keep going.</i>

21:57.450 --> 22:01.930
<i>It's the tracks the 
old guy left behind him.</i>
