Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

[DarthEnderX]

The mass teleportation event is what triggered Nanahoshi's teleportation and Rudeus' reincarnation several years before the mass teleportation event.

There's no evidence that the Rudeus' reincarnation has anything to do with the mass teleportation event.

If I had to guess, I would say the Man-God reincarnated Rudeus when he died. And then Orsted or someone else caused the mass teleportation event that brought Nanahoshi over, possibly while trying to thwart the Man-God's activities.

Like: "Oh, I've been able to determine that the Man-God brought somebody here from this other place and time. I hate the Man-God, so I'm going to perform a big magic to try and find out more about that place/time. Oops, I made a big explosion and dragged someone over."

I feel like this is fairly close to the truth at work here.

Man-God brought Rudy over here for something. We don't know what, Rudeus doesn't know what. Man-God tries to manipulate Rudeus into doing things and altering events for him. We do know that Rudeus doesn't trust him anymore, but since Man-God doesn't try to directly control him, he rolls with most of it.

But Orsted knows what elements are at play here and kept Nanohashi close to him as a countermeasure or as penance for a mistake. Man-God is a threat to Orsted, very clearly.

I'm thinking that Orsted himself kicked off the mass-teleportation in an attempt to counter Man-God's plans that involve transmigrators (i.e. Rudeus or possibly someone else). It just went more wrong than they all thought it could.

Given this is an isekai, transmigrators are undoubtedly keys to breaking some kind of cosmic stalemate. We just don't know what side Rudeus is unwittingly on, or if Nanohashi and her friends are being treated fairly. Quite a few series discussed here at length work the same way in varying degrees.

Manipulating someone like Nanohashi who desperately wants to go home is easy. That's a great use of isekai characters, actually. Manipulating someone like Rudeus who hates his old world and wants to stay is quite a bit harder.
