Usada Pekora Watches Five Mushoku Tensei II Episodes Straight, Cheering a Confession Scene

HOLOLIVE — Usada Pekora of Hololive’s Third Generation (Fantasy) watched five episodes of the anime Mushoku Tensei II (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Season 2) in a row on Thursday, reacting live as the characters Rudeus and Sylphy finally confessed their feelings to each other.

Pekora started with episode 10 and took the series one episode at a time through episode 14, with a short countdown before each one. She said the stream began an hour later than usual, so she planned to start the episode at about 10:05 p.m. Early on she cheered Sylphy on and said Rudeus ought to notice her. When he recognized Sylphy despite her changed hair color, Pekora called him wonderful and Sylphy a fine partner for having spoken up. Chat answered with applause and congratulations.

Later scenes in episode 11 and 12 had her saying the pair did not need to hurry, and she celebrated when their troubles were resolved. A card shown at the end of episode 12 told viewers to look forward to the second half of the season. In episode 13, the couple found a new home, a large house that turned out to be haunted. Pekora called it creepy and cheered the battle that followed. Episode 14 brought friends and family to the house.

The opening theme changed in episode 14. Pekora wondered aloud whether its battle imagery gave away what was coming, and chat joked about spoilers in the opening. She said she still looked forward to it. After the final episode she said the story left her warm and happy, and that she hoped Rudeus and Sylphy stayed happy.

She said she would watch the series five episodes at a time and pick up next week from episode 15. Eleven Super Chats came in during the stream, many of them sign-offs after the last episode.
