The staff for Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation III, the third season of the Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation anime, announced in a video on Sunday that the season’s second cours (quarter of a year) will premiere in 2027.

The new season covers the “Eris Training Arc” storyline, which started in the 13th volume of the original novel series. The “Chaos Breaker” arc started with the eighth episode on August 16.

The season’s new cast members include:

Yuiko Ōhara performs the new opening theme song “Ketsui no Uta” (Song of Resolve). Mika Nakashima performs the ending theme song “Inori, Owareba” (If the Prayers Are Over). Shinoda, the guitarist and vocalist of the rock band Hitorie, wrote the new song’s lyrics and music. (Hitorie performed the second season’s second opening theme song “On The Frontline.”)

The anime debuted on Tokyo MX and BS11 on July 5. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired, and it is also streaming an English dub.

Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both Rifujin na Magonote‘s original main light novel series and Yuka Fujikawa‘s manga adaptation. The company also licensed Shōko Iwami‘s Mushoku Tensei: Roxy Gets Serious (Mushoku Tensei: Roxy Datte Honki desu) spinoff manga. Seven Seas describes the “epic and influential fantasy” story of the original novels:

Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed 34-year-old shut-in thinks he’s hit rock-bottom—just as he’s hit and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to repeat his past mistakes. He’s going to make the most of this reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!

Rifujin na Magonote initially serialized the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let’s Become Novelists) website from 2012 to 2015. Kadokawa‘s MF Books imprint then began publishing a print version in 2014. The 26th volume shipped in November 2022.

The first part of the novels’ first anime adaptation debuted in January 2021, and the second part debuted in October 2021, after a delay from that July. Funimation streamed the season. Crunchyroll and Hulu are now streaming the anime, including the unaired side-story original video anime (OVA) episode “Eris the Goblin Slayer.”

The second season aired for two cours (two quarters of a year). The first half premiered on Tokyo MX in July 2023 before airing on other networks, and the second half debuted in April 2024. Crunchyroll streamed the season as it aired.

A free-to-play Mushoku Tensei – Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu: Chronicle of Echoes (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation: Chronicle of Echoes) “serious alternate-world x 3D battle role-playing game” launched on July 27. Gree Entertainment is planning and releasing the game, and Asobimo is developing and maintaining it.
