Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is no stranger to controversy with a reprehensible protagonist whose perverted personality is right at the forefront. The story follows Rudeus Greyrat, a man who used to be a societal outcast who was afraid to leave his home in the modern world and gets reincarnated with his memories intact into a world with magic.
Mushoku Tensei Downplays Assault Through The Actions Of Its Protagonist When It's About Women, Rudeus Shows No Growth At All This episode followed Pursena Adoldia and Linia Dedoldia, Rudeus' classmates from the Beast Tace, who smashed a figure belonging to Rudeus' disciple, Zanoba. However, the figurine had been sculpted by Rudeus himself, and it represented one of his great loves, Roxy.
While some depictions of assault can have value to teach important lessons and perspectives, none can be found in this. The setup of the episode, in which Linia and Pursena were framed as deserving of being 'put in their place' in the most degrading and sexist expression of the phrase, and the resulting acceptance of the act from the women and bystanders, only serves to excuse and downplay Rudeus's assault.
It must be said, however, that the author of Mushoku Tensei never meant for Rudeus to have any redeeming qualities. Rifujin na Magonote wanted Rudeus to feel as 'real' as possible, to make his journey of redemption more relatable. Unfortunately, by season 2 of the anime, that journey is far from over, and Rudeus' actions are hard to accept. Another example is that Rudeus has a neutral stance toward slavery .
