He has entered the Begaritt Continent to reach Rapan and has reunited meaningfully with family and former mentors. However, as the adaptation of Volume #13 wears on, while crucial lives are undoubtedly saved, Mushoku Tensei’s anime builds up a deadly confrontation as Rudy’s party goes further into the labyrinth.

What Happened in Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2, Episode #20?

Rudeus Has a Major Family Reunion Before His Next Adventure

After arriving in Rapan in Jobless Reincarnation season 2, episode #20, Rudeus finds Geese, a longtime fellow adventurer to Paul Greyrat, who agrees to bring Rudy to his father. The following reunion is crucial: Paul apologizes to Elinalise for his previous romantic actions towards her, Rudy catching up with Paul after getting married and having a child on the way, and more. However, the party quickly ventures into the labyrinth, where Zenith, and recently Roxy, have become trapped.

Rudy is distraught by the notion of Roxy dying in the labyrinth and adapts his magic to the environment while the party hunts for their lost comrades. Following his intuition, Rudy finds Roxy, who, in desperate moments, defending her life against seemingly endless hordes, shares a tearful reunion with her former student as the episode ends. However, viewers might be in for a surprise with Roxy’s initial reaction to her rescuer, along with future Jobless Reincarnation moments between the two.

Jobless Reincarnation Season 2, Episode #21 Brings Roxy and Rudeus Back Together

The Party Approaches the Guardian of the Labyrinth

As Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation’s anime adapts chapters #3-6 of Volume #13, Rudeus quickly embraces Roxy after rescuing her from certain death. However, the rush of emotions is different on Roxy’s side, who, unlike Rudy, doesn’t immediately recognize who is standing before her, seeing him more as a man of her dreams resembling a young Paul. When the confusion is resolved, they reunite with the group as they approach the final stratum, linked to a red teleportation circle, as hinted by the episode title, “Magic Circles of the Sixth Stratum” in Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation.
