The Ultimate Guide to the Supard Race in Mushoku Tensei

The Superds, a skilled and proud warrior race from the Demon Continent in Studio Bind's Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, are known for their distinctive emerald green hair and red gemstone embedded in their foreheads. Despite being feared for their strength and combat prowess, the Superds suffer from a negative reputation due to their actions during the Laplace War. However, Ruijerd Superdia, the most prominent Superd in the series, seeks to restore their honor and retake control of the tribe's narrative. Through his introduction, the true history of the Superds is revealed, including their betrayal by the former Demon God Laplace. At the beginning of the story, the Superds were portrayed as ruthless warriors who indiscriminately killed all in their path, even their own families, while in league with Laplace. Their actions during the war led to fear, distrust, and discrimination from other races, who saw them as cursed. However, Rudeus and Ruijerd work together to break the curse and restore the Superds' reputation as honorable warriors.

A Tribe Of Proud Warriors

Superds in Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation are known for their remarkable longevity, with Ruijerd being over 500 years old at the start of the series and still in his prime. This suggests that Superds can potentially live for thousands of years. Not only are they long-lived, but they are also powerful warriors. Ruijerd was practically invincible during his time with Dead End, until facing the Dragon God Orsted. The Superds are known for their strength, battle prowess, and durability. They possess Magic Power Eyes, which allow them to detect mana flow in others. Additionally, Superds are born with tails that later harden and fall off, becoming the spears they use in combat. These spears are viewed as the Superds' very souls, as evidenced by Ruijerd referring to his own spear as his late son's soul. The tribe's warriors follow a strict code of honor, as demonstrated by Ruijerd's strong moral values. Their combat skills and pride made them highly sought after before the Laplace War.

Tricked By The Demon God

After aligning with Laplace in the conflict, the Superd tribe fell victim to a series of tragic events caused by the Demon God. Laplace gifted the tribe with cursed Devil's spears, which sent them into a frenzy, resulting in the indiscriminate killing of their own kind. The aftermath saw the destruction of much of the tribe, leaving few survivors, including Ruijerd Superdia. He was brought back to his senses by his own son, who destroyed the cursed spear. Ruijerd was overcome with guilt and contemplated ending his life, but ultimately chose to seek revenge against Laplace and vowed to change the negative perception of his people. He adopted a strict moral code, motivated by the loss of his son.

On A Path To Redemption

Through Rudeus and Eris' arrival on the Demon Continent, Ruijerd finally takes the first steps in clearing the Superds' name, and vows to escort them back to their homeland while enlisting Rudeus' help in reinstating the tribe's honor. Together, they form the Adventure Guild called Dead End and become known as heroes who protect the innocent, ultimately elevating the Superds' image and erasing the clouds of fear and suspicion surrounding them. As they travel and perform good deeds, their reputation grows and the curse of the Superd tribe begins to dissipate. Ruijerd's interactions with humans on the Central Continent reflect this positive change, as they remain friendly and welcoming towards him after he saves their lives. Additionally, Ruijerd's symbolic act of shaving his head erodes the connections to Laplace, whose emerald green hair is said to have been the cause of the Superds' curse. Thanks to Rudeus' effective strategy, Ruijerd's dream becomes a reality and the world becomes a safer place for Superds to roam, with the potential for even further improvements in the future.
