Mushoku Tensei: The Water God Style, Explained

Prioritizing defense, counterattacks, and a more reactive approach to combat in general, the Water God Style is one of the three major schools of swordsmanship in Rifujin na Magonote’s Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. Within this world, the headquarters of the Water God school are in Ars, the capital of the Asura Kingdom on the Central Continent. It is occasionally viewed as the last of the three schools due to its somewhat passive nature. The roots of this style stretch back to the distant past of the Six-Faced World which is the setting of the main series. As legend goes, the one who first attained the rank of Water God — the highest in this school of swordsmanship — was a lowly swordsman who defeated the Water Dragon King that had been laying siege to a nation.
