Following the broadcast of the anime “Mushoku Tensei III,” threads buzzed with questions about the royal family’s murderous power struggles, why Roxy didn’t join this expedition, and whether portraying the Demon Continent’s language as an untranslated mystery tongue was the right call.
History buffs brought up Japan’s ancient Jinshin War for comparison, while others traced the lineage of “characters desperate to return to their original world” across isekai reincarnation and transportation stories — altogether a lively deep-dive into the show’s worldbuilding.

For some reason the royals in Mushoku Tensei just end up killing each other.
In reality, even when rivals clash, it rarely escalates all the way to murder.
Is this just some odd assumption on the author's part?
Rivalry instantly turns into a killing spree.

Probably only Ariel is actually at risk of being killed — the other rival candidates likely won't go that far (probably just lifelong house arrest).

Even in ancient Japan, the princes of Emperor Tenmu's line ended up wiping each other out, and after losing the Jinshin War, succession reverted back to the previously sidelined line of Emperor Tenji.
Royals and nobles killing each other really is just history as usual.

That assassin girl who got sent flying in season 2 was seriously skilled too.

Night-Eye Hawk
In the novel and manga it's "Crow"
I mean, crows can obviously see at night too, right? lol

Why didn't Roxy come along?
She speaks the demon language and is used to traveling —
she'd be the most reliable one to bring.

To reach the Demon Continent you have to use the teleportation magic circle in kindly old Perugius's aerial fortress (that's the underground-looking scene right before arriving at the continent), but Perugius — who absolutely refuses to tolerate demons — won't let Roxy into the fortress, so she can't come along.

I've got a feeling maybe time flows differently between his original world and this one, and only growth/aging follows the original world's timeline.
> She knew about Ariel, right?
Now that you mention it, yeah, that's true too…

Had the same thought back in season 1 — having the Demon Continent language come out as an untranslated mystery language is a questionable creative choice…

Wasn't Nokopara's dialogue entirely in the demon tongue?
Atofe was speaking demon language in the PV too.
Kind of wish that once Rudeus switches over, Atofe would just talk normally, sounding like Japanese to us.
Zanoba and the others can stay in human language at that point, lol.
That's what happened when he reunited with Nanahoshi wearing the white mask —
only Sylphy got switched to human language.
She's actually speaking demon language the whole time normally.

Setting aside whether the multilingual staging was even necessary, Nokopara's voice actor's performance was really great.

Whenever there's a character present who can't understand the language, it's mystery language plus subtitles.
But like when Roxy went back home and there was nobody around who didn't understand it, they just do it in plain Japanese.

Is it actually rare for a reincarnation-story protagonist to try this desperately to get back home?

"The Rising of the Shield Hero" —
I recall it was something like, defeat the enemies, save the world, and you get to go home.
Though how it actually ends is a mystery to me.

Nanahoshi's case is a "transportation," not a reincarnation.
Among transportation stories, plenty of series have characters desperately trying to get home — like "Arifureta," "Instant Death Cheat," "Reject Class," etc.

"Woltania War Chronicle"
It's a transportation story.
The protagonist does wail "I can't go back! I can't go back!"
Though he's just a regular DK (high school boy).

It's kind of odd that with dragonkin, elves, and demons all around, only the Man-God gets to exist, right?
Maybe the other races have their own gods too, and the Man-God lost to them, so now he's manipulating Rudeus through prophecy as revenge for something from the past.

Up through "The Familiar of Zero," desperately wanting to go home really was the standard theme, huh~
I guess it was really Konosuba and Tensura that changed that.
Even "Shambala wo Yuku Mono" had a shocking ending for its time.

There's Orsted the Dragon God, y'know!
Lord Perugius said the demon god Laplace is coming back — is that even for real?!
Back in season 1, after getting wrecked by Orsted, when he explained the situation to Ruijerd, Ruijerd said something like "The Ancient Six Gods, huh. Hard to believe right away, but I doubt you're lying," so the Ancient Six Gods probably did exist.
>>517
In Tensura too, Rimuru's a reincarnator so he doesn't really want to go back (since he knows he's dead, going back isn't even an option), but the transported/summoned girl from Falmuth did want to go home.
Another transported character mentioned that the curse-word kept her from acting freely enough to even explore ways of getting back.

Tensura isn't an "isekai transportation," it's an "isekai reincarnation via death," so going back to the original world wouldn't really mean much anyway —
that said, the ending is technically a "return home" ending, isn't it.
Though it might just be a pseudo return home.

Finally feels like the story's moving forward.
He's not bringing his master along, even though it's her hometown?
The horse doesn't remember him.
That was found awfully easily.
