Actually shut-ins are not that common. Usually they are salarymen and often they are also gamers.

Do the reverse, what is a character type you've never seen isekai'd
Immortal
Mao-sama kinda fits that
Daemon lord gets reverse-isekai'd and becomes a fry cook
and uh, well there's another semi-popular one where literally god gets isekai'd w/ amnesia
but saying the name spoils the series
I was going to say milf, but then remembered about the series Mom's multi-hit-attack
that counts
(esp since there is a Ni no Kuni anime)
Someone who had been iskeai'd (but not back to his original world, to a new random iskeai world)
I still want someone to do that plot
I know you're talking about a 3rd fully different world (that's not just a timeskip)
actually Pika, if you count VRMMO games as isekais
it happens all the time Kappa
Which I don't!
Polu, what if the SEED is just one world though
what if we're all in the SEED right now
(but yes, I agree SAO counts)
I've never seen an anthropomorphic fish get isekaied
oh, also
you have to exclude shows where all of Earth gets isekai'd
Fish no, spider yes
I think thats close enough in concept
hmm the sea is different though
there's a mermaid isekai I think
a girl swaps worlds with a mermaid, or swaps bodies or something
Can anyone think of an isekai where a newborn baby is isekai'd
I doubt there are many that isekai historical figures in a realistic sense. There are plenty that do it but they all end up taking major liberties with the people
which kind of defeats the purpose and all, but I'm drawing a blank on if I've seen that

Honestly, I want it. The least relevant isekai
Replying to ChivesKirk #chiveskirk I doubt there are many that isekai historical figures in a realistic sense. There are plenty that do it but they all end up taking major liberties with the people
idk. fate is pretty accurate
king arthur especially
and nero
they are isekaied into reality? I thought they had their own weird universe
wait, Pika is Superman technically an isekai, since he's shot to a different planet as a baby

Ya Boy Kongming
Uhh you're not serious. I don't think he would think his work was done and just chill in Japan. Wouldn't he want to see the land he lived in with his own eyes?
Why, its thousands of years later and everyone he cared about was dead
Two thousand years ago mainlanders didn't care about Japan at all pretty sure
The general writing trend seems to be most people who get isekai'd are usually pretty chill with it, the more accomplished/older, the more content they are
The cases where there's an ernest effort to return, or resent the isekai, are usually young and have some core motivation
Oh wait I forgot to reply to your message about babies getting isekaied. I'm pretty sure it happens all the time. Like, their are plenty of anime where there's a random baby with special powers and they never establish why

No, he means, they are born, then die and are isekai'd
It's a scenario I'm sure is happened, but I can't think of any clear cases of it
"oh no the kingdom's mages summoned a baby instead of the chosen one"
Yeah there would be very little reason to show that as justification but it's likely it's happened before.

Okay, I got a banger senario. A society due to genetic failing implements a policy of stealing babies from another world because they cannot give birth anymore
Panda world
perfect, then we can appeal to China and make millions
they love their stupid pandas and their monkey god
and feet
So is it a fantasy world that steal babies from reality or what?
Well, it does not need to be a fantasy world
There needs to be a method of getting babies from another world though
Pka has one of those in his lab at Uni
Oh, so sci fi?
Spooky, do you consider cells at work to be a valid location to be sent to be an isekai
hmmm
in which case, all babies born in that world are isekai'd into the real world
my gut says yes, based on how the actual lore of the show
Wait, isn't the premise that it takes place in a real person? So they are already real? I have not watched season 2 though.
Yeah but its a different world
yes, but the "world" inside them doesn't really exist, and they are unable to leave, so it's a self-contained universe essentially
huh well that would make some sense
I mean, it's shitposty because isekai doesn't really have bounds
as a term
I think as long as it is character goes from his world to a place that is functionally different from his world, you can argue it is an isekai
