by It has officially been announced that the third season of the TV anime Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, titled “Mushoku Tensei III,” will begin airing in July 2026. Alongside this exciting news, a powerful teaser visual featuring Eris has been revealed, immediately igniting discussion among fans. In addition, a brand-new smartphone game based on the series has also been announced, further expanding the world of Mushoku Tensei.
What Is “Mushoku Tensei”? (Beginner-Friendly Overview)
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is based on the light novel series written by Rifujin na Magonote. The story originally began serialization in 2012 on the popular novel submission website Shōsetsuka ni Narō (“Let’s Become a Novelist”) and is widely regarded as one of the foundational works of the modern isekai genre.
The series follows Rudeus Greyrat, a man who dies in his previous life full of regret and is reincarnated into a fantasy world. Determined to live seriously this time, Rudeus grows from infancy into adulthood, learning magic, forming relationships, and confronting the consequences of his past and present actions.
The anime adaptation first aired in 2021, earning praise for its cinematic visuals, detailed world-building, and emotionally grounded storytelling. Season 2 aired from 2023 to 2024, continuing Rudeus’s journey and deepening the story’s themes of growth, responsibility, and redemption.
Season 3 Story Direction: Adaptation from Volume 13
According to the announcement, Season 3 will adapt content starting from Volume 13 of the original light novel. This marks a major turning point in the story, where characters face more mature challenges and long-running storylines begin to converge.
For fans of the novels, this arc is known for its emotional intensity, large-scale conflicts, and major character development, making it one of the most anticipated parts of the anime adaptation so far.
Teaser Visual Highlights: Eris Returns with Determination
The newly released teaser visual places Eris Greyrat at the forefront. She is depicted gripping her sword tightly, wearing a fierce and intimidating expression that reflects her growth since last appearing in the story.
Eris famously left Rudeus without explanation at the end of Season 1 to embark on a solitary training journey. This visual strongly suggests her return as a far stronger and more resolute warrior, hinting that her role in Season 3 will be both dramatic and pivotal.
Fans have already reacted enthusiastically online, with comments praising Eris’s mature aura and speculating about how her reunion with Rudeus Greyrat will unfold.
