posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Muse Asia added on the unaired side-story anime episode for the television anime of Rifujin na Magonote's Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation light novel series on Wednesday
The episode shipped with the anime's fourth Blu-ray Disc volume on Wednesday in Japan.
The episode's title is "Eris no Goblin Tōbatsu" (Eris Goes Goblin Slaying). The television anime's episode 16 showed the reunion of Rudeus and his father Paul when it aired on October 31. However, it did not show what Eris and Ruijerd did during that same time. The unaired side-story episode will show what happened on that day, as teased with a comment in episode 16 by Eris about getting rid of goblins.
The first part of the first season of the anime premiered on the Tokyo MX, KBS Kyoto, and BS11 channels in January 2021. The show's second part premiered in October 2021. Muse Asia streamed both parts in Southeast Asia as they aired in Japan, and Animax Asia began airing the anime on February 21.
The anime will have a second season.
