Death is an integral theme throughout the narrative ofMushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, with the series' main storyline being catalyzed by the death of its protagonist. In the time since its premiere, the anime adaptation of Rifujin na Magonote’s light novel series has garnered acclaim while sparking a considerable deal of controversy for some of the moreunsavory personality traits of its main character, as well as some of the world-building elements pertaining to its medieval setting.
There have been a number of characters who have met their end in both Season 1 and Season 2 ofMushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. While some deaths had a massive bearing on the main story, others had less of an impact. At present there have been only a handful of named character deaths among the main and supporting cast, many of which were quite closely tied to the Teleport Incident which set upRudeus' journey back homefrom the Demon Continent. In this vein, here is the list of confirmed deaths that have occurred in the anime series so far, from the most recent ones to those that took place earlier on in the narrative.
Updated July 07, 2025 by Jerry Elengical:The initial story arcs of Mushoku Tensei Season 2 adopted a slice-of-life tone with Rudeus' entry into the Ranoa Magic Academy, which was a huge departure from the action-filled second half of Season 1.
Whereas the first few episodes of Season 2 had some brutal battles and deaths during Rudeus' days as an adventurer in the Northern lands, the rest of it was relatively peaceful, until the start of the Labyrinth Arc. In this final segment of Season 2, Rudeus journeys to the Begaritt Continent to aid his father in rescuing Zenith, culminating in a tense and tragic final battle against the hydra.
