How Old is Rudeus in Seasons 1 and 2 of Mushoku Tensei? Age of Every Main Character

The popular isekai anime, “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation”, is certainly one of the best anime in the fantasy and isekai genre. Although this anime has had its fair share of weird moments, Mushoku Tensei has offered fans a promising plot, great animation, and good fan service. Isn’t that more than enough reason to watch the anime?

One thing that may have been confusing in the premise of Mushoku Tensei is the time skips that have happened a few times within the anime. Rudeus started out as an infant in the store. However, now, after the second season has ended, he is an active member of the University of Magic with a wife and a child.

In this article, we will go through each timeline, highlighting the ages of Rudeus and other main characters to clear any existing doubt on the matter.
