@killerwolfkin @NotAbotepex @spectator0902 ...take on challenges.
How has Rudeus not grown tremendously from the person he was in his past life?

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@killerwolfkin @NotAbotepex @spectator0902 He can accept when he failed - grieves, but able to move on nonetheless. He willingly takes responsibilities for his friends and family, and can sacrifice everything for them including his life and pride. He can think of the consequences of his actions and is ready to...

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako has always been that a reincarnation is a fresh start. Rudeus was a kid w/ an old man's memory, not an old man in a kid's body. Epstein's reincarnation will be just a kid, not a new Epstein. You are already showing bad faith when you use Epstein's name instead of others'

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako Because I don't agree with your logic?
You are arguing that if someone is reincarnated, it should be considered a continuation of his past life and he should be treated as his new life age + his past life age. I'm pointing out how dumb that would be.
On the other hand, my point

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako Sorry for being media literate. Feel free to go back to hating Rudeus for the wrong reasons with your fellow media illiterate.
Yeah, you know what? I'm not going to waste my time explaining to you who are clearly arguing in bad faith anymore, too

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako Not really, no. That's the point of reincarnation and Mushoku's theme specifically. It's a new start and a blank page. The kid will still be a kid mentally and physically. Essentially, your reincarnation should be the same as Epstein's if done properly

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako He doesn't use his "past sexual thoughts". It was his, a 10 years old horny kid's thought. Did you miss the whole thing where the story flat out told you that he IS a kid, physically AND mentally?
You are making up headcanon when you are treating him like an older man

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako And there is nothing wrong with a kid falling in love with another kid at the same age, is there?

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako Yes, because when both physical age AND mental age get a reset, you become just a kid with an old man's memory, not an old man in a kid's body.
That's what the OP's pic was about: Rudeus pointed out that he was a kid pretending to be an older man, NOT an older man himself

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako You clearly are not if you are attacking Rudeus for falling in love with girls at his age. Well, either that, or you have a severe case of double standards. Your pick.

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako I knew we should've gatekeeping better. Western anime scene is a mistake. Why am I still bothering...

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako No one is defending pedo, but when you are just throwing the term around incorrectly, expect people to call you out.
If being corrected is what makes you hate MT fans, well, go ahead?

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako Because reincarnation isn't the same as rejuvenation. They are different things. Making him a child again is a continuation of his life and not a fresh start - unless you meant to say that he will get a mindwipe so that his brain and mind becomes that of a kid, too

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako After all, that's what reincarnation is about. A new start. A second chance. Not a continuation of your previous life - even more so when it's specified that the person (Rudeus in this case)'s mind is getting a fresh start, too.

[Shardz @Shardz410]

@FutaJalter @ICherishBeako Yes. If - and only if these conditions are met: Epstein is reincarnated and become a kid, with a fresh start on both body and mind, plus his old memory. I wouldn't mind if this new kid falls in love with other kids at the same age
