Mushoku Tensei

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation III is airing its Chaos Breaker arc, with Episode 12, "The End and the Beginning," broadcast September 13, 2026 on TOKYO MX and BS11. The episode adapts the future Rudeus warning and positions the season just before its next major turn.

Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 15

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation III began on Tokyo MX and BS11 on July 5, 2026 and has run through the summer on a weekly Sunday 24:00 slot, with Crunchyroll streaming the series as it airs, including an English dub. The season opened in the Rudeus Youth Arc material, adapting from volume 13 of Rifujin na Magonote's novel, which has been serialized on Shosetsuka ni Naro since 2012 and carries a cumulative circulation of 18 million copies. Studio Bind animates the season, with Ryosuke Shibuya directing.

The season's second phase began with Episode 8, titled Sky Fortress, which started the Chaos Breaker Arc and introduced Perugius Dola, voiced by Rikiya Koyama, alongside Nanako Mori as Atoferatofe Rybak and Ayumi Tsunematsu as Sylvaril of the Void. The arc has centered on the illness afflicting Nanahoshi, a disease called Draine Disease that should have been eradicated 7,000 years ago. Rudeus seeks help for her, then turns the Demon Emperor over to the guards to obtain the cure, a resolution the episode 10 review called too easy. Perugius ends a subsequent fight with Atoferatofe.

Episode 11, Turning Point 4, closed out subplots and set the Man-God's basement directive as the trigger for a disaster that will push Rudeus toward time travel magic. Episode 12, The End and the Beginning, follows directly from that cliffhanger: an old man who says he came from the future tells Rudeus about cruel events ahead, and advance cuts show an old, worn-out diary. The review frames the episode as the hinge of the story, with future Rudeus warning that a door leads to the deaths of the three women he loves and urging him to deceive the Man-God rather than fight him.

Outside the broadcast, the season has drawn a merchandising wave: a Sega Yumemirize prize figure of Roxy released August 28 and of Sylphiette on September 11, a MegaHouse Lucrea Eris Greyrat figure set for March 2027, a Hobby Sakura 1/7 scale Eris figure set for April 2027, Cospa merchandise with an early sale at Comic Market 108, and a Kujibikido cheerleader-themed kuji running from September 15 to October 6. The smartphone and PC game Chronicle of Echoes launched July 27 and ran a Summer Maiden Roxy pickup gacha from August 13 to August 31.
