    In Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation season 2 we saw Rudeus learn that Nanahoshi (Silent Seven Star) is also an isekai character from Japan. While Rudeus is enjoying his second chance at life despite the bad parts, Nanahoshi wants only to go home. In this video I look at their different perspectives on their isekai situation and how this is an interesting contrast that Rifujin na Maganote explores in the series, which you don't see in other isekai light novel and anime series.
    There are no spoilers beyond Mushoku Tensei season 2 episode 9 in this video, but if you want answers about Nanahoshi's situation or spoilers about her future, please check out the following videos:

    Nanahoshi really has it bad. Being transported in another world with no magic, risk of being sick, and having no means of defending herself naturally. It's actually a miracle that she was somehow able to survive prior to meeting with Orsted.

    • @TheKueiJin
      @TheKueiJin Před 10 měsíci +4

      You are entirely right, on all accounts. The thing is though, Orsted arrived shortly after her. IIRC he was in the area when it MTI happened. Also a key point you made about the magic and her risk of getting sick, all i can say is thumbs up!

    Nanahoshi reminds me of that IRS agent that's been tasked with taking my money; dropped into a situation where they don't belong and don't fully understand, to which they have no hope of adapting, and which they'd rather not be in. A big difference, though, is that Nanahoshi can walk into a room without setting off multiple traps.

  • @FreakazoidRobots

    Yeah, I noticed that too. It's a nice change of pace to meet an Isekai character who actually wants to go home. I think this is how most people would actually feel. Even those who are lonely and downtrodden still have people in this world they love and would miss.

  • @volrag
    @volrag Před 10 měsíci +18

    The aspect of Nanahoshi that interests me is how she is turning into old-world Rudeus. She hates the new world, and she withdraws herself from it as much as possible. She wears a mask so even in public nobody sees her, and she sequesters herself in her tower like Rudeus isolated himself indoors. I have no doubt that if Nanahoshi could have achieved her research without ever talking to anyone, she'd take that option as Rudeus hid himself in light novels and whatnot.
    Personally I'd have thought Rudeus would have recognised this pattern and maybe put more effort into making sure to help her avoid this fate, but it might also just be a bit early. Or maybe I'm just wrong, but it looks to me like Nanahoshi is trying to abandon a world she hates and will plunge herself into an esoteric personal hell in the process, and Rudeus may be the only person in the new world that would ever truly understand it.

      You're quite wrong on a number of levels. First: She isn't withdrawing herself. There is a difference between being in the best place for your research and being an isolationist. She literally toured the world to find a solution. There is none, so she is making one. She is literally bending the world to her desire to achieve what was never done before, nor will ever be done after her.
      Second, her research is like... completing a puzzle by assembling pieces out of bits and odd-shaped baubles, scattered throughout the entire world, and of which not one singular person would take a second look at. No one in their right mind would try this.
      Third, while it may seem like a "personal hell" to you, you're forgetting that she isn't of this world, in more ways than you can imagine. For instance, she is magically mute, and if you'd want a taste of that, imagine having no taste in this world, from birth. Would it not be a personal hell to not understand why others swoon over chocolate? Or be buzzed by the bitter taste of black coffee? Or be enamoured by the taste of your S.O. lips?
      So, she isn't accepted by this world, and it will make a significant point later on. The spiral that you're referring to isn't occurring... yet... But, Rudy will see it, don't worry.
      Lastly... No, Rudy would not be the best person for Nanahoshi. There is a character that has gone through what she has, and much more. One that suffered more than the show will ever touch upon.
      That person would be Laplace.

      @banir3736 Před 10 měsíci +1

      But it isn’t as complex and deep as in MT. Log Horizon, everyone has the same setting of Isekai in which whatever Perspective they have, good or bad is ultimately judged and be faulted at them in a personal manner. In MT on the other hand, everyone’s reason for hating or loving Isekai isn’t based on their own personal perspectives but was forced to them by circumstances. Which makes you think of “what ifs”, what if Nanahoshi had magic, would she still hate the world? What if rudy didn’t have his family. Things like that.

    • @johnnyxxxv
      @johnnyxxxv Před 10 měsíci

      @@banir3736 the reason Nanahoshi hates this world, isn't *just* because she lacks mana, so I'm sure she still would, it would just make her research (and her overall stay) much easier. Even if she didn't hate the world, it would be reasonable for her to try and find a way back, after all, she left her whole life behind. Also, where, in the entirety of the isekai anime, are the characters not in a forced circumstance? As much as they enjoy being in the world they find themselves into, out of all the isekai I've watched, there was *maybe* one case where the person actually chose to go, even considering cases (like Log Horizon) where there is already a familiarity with that world.

    I’d have a reason to go home, but I’d make sure to try and have a fun hell of a time while figuring out how to get back. With the limitations that Nanahoshi has in that world however, it’d be tough. Having access to special abilities and combining that with knowledge of our modernities would go a long way to make things fun, and if unable to return, then comfortable. Wait. I’d be Kazuma! 🎉🎉🎉

    Think it would depend on my experience there, but I probably would feel isolated there like Nanahoshi, possibly worse off since I'd have to learn a new language, and get by somehow until I figure out how to get back or if it's even possible. Wouldn't want to go back home if I end up arriving back like 50 years into the future, I might as well stay at that point. Idk if I'd feel like the world is fake though like she does, certainly would still suck and I'd probably be miserable, but I'd deal with it somehow.

      There are 2 main reasons. Being Japanese she looks pretty different from other humans in this world, which mostly have western looking faces. Don't know why, that's just how she described it iirc.
      But the bigger reason is that she doesn't age. She's afraid people will notice and people will want to experiment on her looking for "eternal youth."

    Cool thing on Nanahoshi's view and objective. Nanahoshi literally have the objective of old school isekai/fantasy anime. I don't remember when going back home stopped being the goal of the main character on Isekai anime but take a look at all the classic fantasy anime, Inuyasha, Zero no tsukaima, heck I'll count even count digimon. Everyone's objective is to go back home.
    It's like a modern-ish take on isekai vs. the classic. Kinda cool meta story telling.

    i'm waiting for the 2nd season to end so i can binge watch it but i figured i would comment anyway. usually when you have a dichotomy of between two characters that got isekai'd, it's usually in terms of conflict (being petty rivalry or hero vs villain), so hearing about Rudeus and Nanahoshi makes me this about "normal people" being isekai'd. a normal outgoing girl with a normal, happy life is no doubt going to be less receptive to the wonder and adventure of being in a new world, like you said.

    its weird how Rifujin does all the things many people complain about in isekai but he wrote all this way before the claims even started. I mean aside from the stuff that many X users got fussy over, but they would complain even if this was a fairly tame show so I don't think we can count on those views very much.
    either way Nanahoshi is a great contrast to Rudeus. including a few certain scenes in the future i cant wait to watch anime onlys reactions, great writing like that is why I love this series.
    spoilers up ahead maybe

    Hope you feel better soon. I think Spirit Chronicles might have a similar scenario of reincarnated meeting summoned/teleported characters in more depth in season 2 (however, the meeting of similar characters already happens at the end of season 1)--not sure how many of the summoned characters will want to go home, but presumably at least some will.
    As to your question, I think there is a good chance that like Nanahoshi most people of Earth who might be teleported would get sick from the air in the new world and without an immunity might not be able to survive there for long. So assuming I was summoned/teleported like Nanahoshi, I think I would also try to go back to Earth as soon as possible for that reason alone (my own safety). That said, if it where possible, I think finding a way to go to and from the other world repeatedly, a la Gate, Saving 80k Gold in Another World or Isekai de Cheat Skill--such that you can have a life in both worlds--is probably the better option for relatively safe worlds like MT.

    El Hazard is one of the first old Isekai I think of as well as Maze Mega Burst Space.
    Hazard was a group of students and a questionable teacher to to a insane situation magical world with sci fi elements. I do recommend it to those that have not seen it. But like a few other old series knowing where to start is confusing. It has to side chapter like movies that are not exactly non cannon or cannon. Since they could be either. As far as I know it was an anime original. The confusing part is it had 2 TV runs that mirror each other but are different uses of the characters. Watch all of it to form your own opinion on best version. Teacher character has a wonderful ability that mocks his personal issue. The more sober he is the stronger he becomes. All total its about 30 episodes I think.
    Maze Megaburst space is another I'd always recommend and in its case I suggest the english Dub because the comically bad along side the good is the VA cast. Love its OP as the mumble in the singers voice turns it into a self mock. Mace in your face is what you hear and the line is Maze in your space. But its story is a solid case of unexpected in detail. MC is both male and female with a body that swaps between the 2. Magical Mecha fights Plus its take on Isekai is rather odd and not often repeated. Tho at first it seems much more typical. feel free to ignore the girl that says "Ukyu Hajimashito" at beginning of each show. English or Japanese I found her voice annoying... and she is a main "love" interest type of role. Pretty sure her character is meant to be annoying. Story is about gathering the infinity stones to stop Thanos... close enough they represent an element of magic and are unmatched in their prowess so close enough to Infinity stones. Bad Guys are way over the top in their approach to goal solutions like Thanos so close enough. 26 episodes as all anime should be in a season... I say semijokingly.

Imagine if you were like, a heart surgeon. You might not love your life, but you'd feel guilty abandoning it because your job is saving lives. Or you might have an ambition you can only fulfil in this world. It's not all 'friends and family', I mean, a lot of people move to other countries and have to make new friends and rarely see their families, but don't really get homesick at all. It's more just, you're giving up one potential future for a different one, and that trade off is going to be different for everyone.

Fushigi Yuugi, El Hazard, Alice in Wonderland, that movie w/ Jackie Chain and Jet Li, etc... And I never liked it, I always thought the better story was being put in an alien world and adapting to it and making it your new home.

    Nanahoshi is a bit of a weird case to me. She’s IMHO a clear-cut case of an INTJ type of person (who are really rare in the real world, even more so female examples). These are NOT particularly attached to other people in general. They’re usually highly intelligent, rational to an unusual degree, and suppress their own emotions to a point that it comes to bite them back in the butt. They’re intuitive, highly pragmatic, hyperfocused, and strategic-minded, but also Machiavellian.
    It’s not like they can’t feel for other people, but when they meet someone the first thing, they ask themselves is: as a tool how can it be used? Because that’s how they see everything in their life.
    They’re not overly invested in anything, but they are not that outgoing (very introverted) and tend to struggle to make new friends (even more so developing trust, and allowing themselves to be vulnerable). So, what they’ll miss the most are the few people they care about in the old world and all the lost potential of control. By the latter I mean all the information they gathered about the old world that have now become pointless. It’s not like they want to control everything in their lives, but they hoard information and access to potentially useful resources and they frigging hate jumping headfirst into the unknown. They’re not necessarily risk averse, but they want to have a good idea of what they can and can’t do and how the world reacts before they do something…
    Such people wouldn’t miss most of their acquaintances and they’re not that attached to the superficial things in life, such as status symbols, or self-indulgence. Still, they obviously can enjoy food and music, and miss such… The more I think about it, I believe that what hurt Nanahoshi was her losing her ambition and being thrown into the unknown, which turned out to be a world where she feels less in control than the old world…

    Which leads to roving each land. If I found Kishirika I would see if she might be able to give me special eyes; under the assumption that they possess magic and therefore might spark it in myself.

I know people like to think it's all very simple and that women are stupid and don't want to be in serious relationships until it's too late for them, but that's a complete fiction if you look at people in the real world.
