Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation dropped an all-new trailer for its upcoming OVA episode starring noble heiress Eris Boreas Greyrat.
Reportedly titled "Eris' Goblin Subjugation," the trailer provides fans with an exclusive look into the new episode. The upcoming side story will canonically take place during Episode 16 of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation's first season and will show what Eris was up to while her cousin, main character Rudeus Greyrat, was reuniting with his father, Paul. While the unaired adventure will be released as part of the fourth volume of the Japanese Blu-ray release for Season 1 on March 16, the episode will debut at a special press event at Toho Cinemas Hibiya on March 6. Many members of the anime adaptation's Japanese voice cast will also be attending the event.
Rifujin na Magonote's Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is a Japanese light novel series that centers around an unnamed 34-year-old unemployed shut-in who meets a tragic end after attempting to save a group of teenagers from a speeding truck after resolving to do something meaningful for once in his life. However, the universe has other plans for the man, as he finds himself awakening as Rudeus Greyrat in a fantasy world where sorcery and swordsmanship are the norms. With all his memories and knowledge of his previous life intact, Rudeus vows to make the most of this second chance at life without any regrets. He begins to master magic and swordplay himself with the help of demon magician Roxy Migurdia and his father, Paul, alongside his closest friend, Slyphiette.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation enjoyed great success since Magonote published the first chapter of the light novel series on the web novel site, Shōsetsuka ni Naro, on Nov. 22, 2012. The series was eventually published under Media Factory's MF Books imprint in Japan, and has over 10 million copies in circulation as of February 2022.
An anime adaptation produced by Studio Bind was announced in March 2019, and the first half comprising of 11 episodes aired between Jan. 11 and March 22, 2021. The second half of the first season recently concluded on Dec. 20, 2021, with the premiere of the anime's twenty-third episode. The anime adaptation has received widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences, and is regarded as one of the best anime television series of 2021. Rudeus being overtly perverted, however, has been criticized, with people noting that it goes against his determination to live a more fruitful life.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll and Funimation.
