What the Anime Changed About Orsted | Mushoku Tensei

In the web novel, the first time we ever see Orsted he's stepping over a dragon he just killed with one hit. The anime let that dragon fly away. Here's everything Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation changed about Orsted, the Dragon God, compared with the web novel and the light novels, from his first scene in Season 1 Episode 8 to the Season 3 Part 2 teaser, and what got lost on the way. SPOILER GUIDE Everything before 9:02 only covers scenes the anime has already shown, up to Season 3 Episode 14, plus how those same scenes go in the books. After that it's light novel spoilers, with a warning on screen before each part: 9:02 Volume 15, most likely where Part 2 starts 10:22 Volume 16, probably still Part 2 (not confirmed) Mentioned at 1:12, my video on Orsted, the full story of who he is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me-yzs_uwIo CHAPTERS 0:00 The first time we saw Orsted 0:49 Web novel, light novel, anime 1:15 His debut in episode 8 2:14 The mountain pass 3:04 The conversation 4:06 The fight 5:48 The void and the nightmare 6:54 Seasons 2 and 3 8:23 The Part 2 teaser 9:02 LN spoilers: the rest of that line 10:22 LN spoilers: Orsted's light novel-only chapters 11:03 The book's Orsted and the anime's Did I miss a change, or do you think the anime did something better than the books?
