Deleted Mushoku Tensei Chapter Becomes Canon Again in Redundancy Volume 3

⚠️ Warning: This article contains major spoilers from Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation and its spin-off light novel series Redundancy.

On June 25, the third volume of Mushoku Tensei: Redundancy was released in Japan—and with it came the official reintroduction of one of the most controversial parts of the franchise: the infamous deleted chapter involving Ars Greyrat, the son of Rudeus and Eris, and his romantic relationship with his aunt, Aisha Greyrat.

Deleted Mushoku Tensei Chapter Becomes Canon Again in Redundancy Volume 3

E o volume 3 se concentra em Ars e no romance dele com a sua tia, Aisha!

If you’re not deep into the Mushoku Tensei lore, here’s the context: Aisha is Rudeus’s half-sister, born from Paul and the maid Lilia. Ars is Rudeus’s son. Years ago, a chapter detailing a romance between Ars and Aisha was part of the web novel, but it was later removed due to the obvious incestuous implications.

Now, with Redundancy Vol. 3, the story has been reworked and reintroduced as canon, sparking massive outrage across social media.

An illustration from the light novel quickly went viral on Japanese Twitter, showing Eris—furious—charging at Ars while Rudeus holds her back and Aisha protects Ars. The caption: “Eris is angry.”

Fans immediately assumed Eris was enraged about Ars’s romantic involvement with Aisha. This set off a flood of furious tweets accusing the series of promoting incest and other problematic themes.

Here are just a few of the many reactions online:

“So after years of fans saying Rudeus’ pedophilia was portrayed negatively, they’re fine with his son hooking up with his aunt now? This is what redemption looks like?”

“Anyone who reads this garbage needs therapy.”

“Pedo Tensei fans are not real. No way.”

“Why is every character in this series disgusting?”

“Wait—did Rudeus sleep with his sister too?!”

It’s safe to say the backlash was intense.

What’s the Real Context of the Scene?

According to Japanese fans and clarification from Amanogawa on Twitter, the scene is not about Eris being angry over the relationship. Instead, she’s furious that Ars was acting like a coward by hiding behind Aisha rather than stepping up and explaining things himself. Eris didn’t raise a coward, and that’s what made her snap.

So yes, Ars and Aisha are officially a couple, and the deleted chapter is back in canon, now fully included in the light novel series.

Mushoku Tensei has never shied away from pushing boundaries—and this revival of a deleted incest storyline confirms that. While some fans are thrilled, many others are disgusted.

The debate continues, but one thing is clear: the world of Mushoku Tensei remains just as polarizing as ever.
