List of episodes

The second season of the anime television series Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, also marketed as Mushoku Tensei II: Jobless Reincarnation, is based on Rifujin na Magonote's light novel series of the same title.[1] The series follows a jobless and hopeless man who dies after having a sad and reclusive life and reincarnates in a fantasy world while keeping his memories, determined to enjoy his second chance at life without regrets as Rudeus Greyrat. The second season of the anime series adapts volumes seven to twelve of the light novels. Now a grown teenager, Rudeus travels the world alone in search of his missing mother, later enrolling at the Ranoa University of Magic where he reunites with his childhood friend Sylphie. "Episode 0" focuses on the whereabouts of Sylphie after the magic crisis from the middle of the previous season, which resulted in her being transported.

In March 2022, it was announced that a second season had been green-lit.[2] The season was directed by Hiroki Hirano, with scripts supervised by Toshiya Ono, and character designs handled by Sanae Shimada. The second season consists of 25 episodes[a] and aired in two split season cours. The first part aired from July 3 to September 25, 2023[3][b] and the second part aired from April 8, 2024 to July 1, 2024.[5][c] The second season was collected into a total of four Blu-ray volumes in Japan between October 18, 2023, and September 18, 2024.[6][7]
