Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Part 2 kicked off the Newlyweds Arc of Rifujin na Magonote's popular light novel series, and just when you think things are about to get better after seeing Rudeus and her younger sister Norn's emotional moment in the previous episode, it looks like something important is going to shake up the plot. We can expect the isekai fantasy series to continue with bigger events as the title of the next episode is Turning Point 3.
The official website of the anime has revealed preview stills and a synopsis for Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Episode 18, and seeing "Turning Point" in the episode title suggests that something significant is going to happen. The official synopsis doesn't give anything away, but it does bring up teasing questions about a letter that Rudeus will receive from a "certain person". One of the stills also show Rudy with Norn, so we can expect another scene between the Greyrat siblings. There's also a look at Rudy's other younger (half) sister, Aisha, and another still with his family at the dinner table.
