《Jobless Reincarnation》Rudeus Death Ending: The Final Chapter of a Perfect Life Where He Gave His All

Among the many isekai reincarnation works, 'Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation' has deeply captivated a wide audience with its detailed portrayal of the protagonist Rudeus Greyrat's life spanning from childhood to old age. Among its elements, the topic of 'Rudeus's death' is not only of great interest to fans but also symbolizes the core spirit of this epic story. This article will delve into Rudeus's final outcome, analyzing the meaning of his death and the profound impact he left on the world.

Rudeus's Peaceful Passing: A Fulfilling End to 74 Years of Life

Unlike many fantasy protagonists who seek immortality, Rudeus Greyrat's life came to a relatively ordinary yet extremely heartwarming conclusion. According to the novel's description, Rudeus passed away peacefully in his own bed in the year 481 of the Kouryaku calendar, at the ripe old age of 74. His cause of death was natural causes, departing this world calmly in his sleep, surrounded by his descendants and his wives who loved him deeply.

For Rudeus, this ending is the best proof that he 'gave it his all' in living his life. In his previous life, as a 34-year-old Japanese NEET who accomplished nothing, he died with endless regrets. After reincarnating, he resolved not to repeat the same mistakes. From learning magic and making friends to building a family and fighting powerful enemies, he used all his strength to experience, to love, and to protect. Therefore, at the moment of his death, looking back on his life, he felt no regret, only immense gratitude and satisfaction. His funeral was attended by over five thousand people from all over the world, a testament to his lifetime achievements and contributions.

The Existence of Old Rudeus: A Warning from Another Timeline

When discussing Rudeus's death, one cannot overlook 'Old Rudeus' from another timeline. In a parallel world, Rudeus, having believed the Human God's deceit, indirectly caused the death of his beloved wife Roxy, after which he fell into a state of collapse, trapped in decades of regret and loneliness, ultimately dying in despair.

This 'Old Rudeus,' before dying, used his last strength to travel through time and space, delivering his diary to his main timeline self, warning him not to trust the Human God and guiding him on the correct path to save Roxy. Old Rudeus's tragic ending is not only a key turning point in the story but also highlights the importance of every choice Rudeus makes. It made the main timeline Rudeus understand that happiness is not a given; it must be earned and protected through one's own efforts. This intervention also led Rudeus to fully ally with the Dragon God Orsted to fight against the Human God together.

Legacy and Heritage: Profound Impact on Wives, Descendants, and the World

Rudeus's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to his two long-lived wives—Sylphiette and Roxy. Sylphie is a half-elf, and Roxy's Migurd race can live up to 200 years. By the time Rudeus passed away, Roxy was already 108 years old, but they still had long years to spend alone. The novel does not explicitly describe their detailed lives afterward, but based on the story, it is inferred that, accompanied by their children and grandchildren, they guarded the family Rudeus left behind and carried on his legacy. It is worth mentioning that in timelines without Rudeus, they both ended up living alone in old age, so the decades spent with Rudeus were the most precious and happiest times of their lives.

Besides his family, Rudeus's greatest contribution lies in his role as the right-hand man of the Dragon God Orsted, laying a solid foundation for the final battle to defeat the Human God hundreds of years later. Orsted bears the fate of defeating the Human God, fighting alone through countless cycles of reincarnation. Rudeus's appearance broke this cycle of despair for the first time. Not only did he provide powerful combat support to the Dragon God, but he also used his connections and wisdom to place pieces around the world, adjusting the course of history to create a future where his descendants could defeat the Human God. His existence is the only hope in Orsted's long cycles of reincarnation.

A controversial yet constantly growing protagonist

Rudeus is not a perfect hero. He retained the bad habits from his previous life—being lecherous, cowardly, and some of his early actions sparked considerable controversy. However, this is precisely the charm of the work 'Mushoku Tensei.' It portrays not a naturally noble saint, but an ordinary person full of flaws, who strives in his second chance to overcome his own wickedness and wretchedness, eventually growing into a respectable hero and family man. His story tells us that a person's value lies not in their starting point, but in the efforts and changes they make throughout their life.
