| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was like watching an autobiography movie but features Rimuru retelling his tales and adventures. From a storytelling perspective, there's not much development but it's kinda important to know the overview of the plot. Plus, they got some of the most important characters in this season from that room. |
 |
| The reincarnation origin story of Rimuru glanced all over again with the re-tracing of the entire journey with friends and comrades made for a big family, made possibly worse by Rimuru's decision to "love humans, love everyone". But with the hope to consume 10,000 humans and resurrect Shion and the others with a 3% success rate, and the regret to reverse his human-hearted ideology, there's no turning back, and only the perchance of moving forward. But wherever Rimuru may go, Tempest will go as well, and that's a great sign. Rimuru on his development to become a Demon Lord is pretty much a needed necessity now to bond them altogether and exact more "justice" for peace-making threats to seal more good diplomatic relationships, their tried-and-true effort still stands for a legion of humans and monsters together in harmony. The comeback coup d'etat of Tempest to tackle ALL sides of the Kingdom of Falmuth's forces in full force, and the eventual battle of one slime vs. all 20,000 in amount of forces (for twice the consumption of the Demon Lord power replenishment), but first, the removal of the double-barrier and another one in its place with Shuna and Myulan before the action can take place. Also, not forgetting that Demon Lord Clayman could still take advantage of this war by any means possible. With that said, let the war games begin! |

| Their conversation was heartwarming, and their Loyalty was amazing, everyone loves Rimuru. Let Rimuru fight 20,000 humans and the strategy begins! |
 |
| This episode was basically the buildup for what's about to come. Rimuru took a great decision there. Hyped for next week. |
 |
| As a source reader I came to this episode hyped for *that scene*, then they pulled a mini recap episode and drag it to next episode..... Like, seriously? |
| lets goooo rimuru is about to commit genocide!! |
 |
| The moment I'm waiting for is coming. The next episode will gonna be epic! |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| dragged out scene.... Why was that shit so long. Excited for mass genocide though. |
| A really good build up episode for the upcoming battle. Got me really hyped up. Everything is set, it's annihilation time for the falmuth army. Let the revenge begin. Also Gabiru and co are real bros.  |
 |
| After watching this episode, this week is gonna be a long one. Next episode come sooner please. |
 |
| This some dragon ball z level story telling right here. Nothing's happened for like 3 episodes can we advance the plot now? |
| Ah the climax of volume 5 is upon us. Can’t wait to see demon lord rimiru. Next few weeks are going to be absolute peak fiction. This week was a setup week for the battle that’ll be eps 10-12. Can’t wait to see this stuff animated. |

Recap? except the first 20-30 sec where Rimuru explains the story of Demon Lord evoluton there wasnt any recap.If you are thinking about Rimuru telling the other that he is Reincarnated that happened in LN/manga. It would be pretty boring to just watch the conference room while he explains it so its better to show the visuals while he's telling his story. |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| Next Episode : Meggido. Thats all i have to say. |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| Episode was more on the boring side, basically being half recap episode of season 1 and half extremely obvious preparations, feel a little let down tbh. Build up episodes usually are more engaging that this, but this just reminded me of overlord lol. It does definitely hype up the fight episode that's hopefully next, but I honestly can't say the execution was the best |

| It's a quite slow paced episode this week, but at least we received confirmation on Rimuru's intentions this episode (his plan on becoming a Demon Lord). |
 |
| 16:58 of expository dialogue. This show really has been weak all season. At least Rimuru dropped his stupid monotone delivery at the end and showed something that resembled emotion. The payoff better be good the next couple of episodes |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| It's looking like the humans are about to get mowed down. |
 |
| We are already 9 episodes in.. 3 episodes left.. where the hell is the "THIS WILL BE THE DARKEST SLIME SEASON".. only a single main cast died and she is being resurrected.. why even bother.. and this whole episode felt like a boring unnecessary filler with conversation that could have been shortened but were only stretched just to have the rimuru say that he gonna kill the soldiers.. I have a feeling that Rimuru will most likely not start his attack in next episode too |
| I loved watching Gabiru and his boys. Rimuru made his intentions clear, to become a Demon Lord. There is also what Clayman is planning. Will he get in the way of Rimuru? Too bad we'll have to wait for next week's episode to find out. |

It would be pretty boring to just watch the conference room while he explains it so its better to show the visuals while he's telling his story. And that's still a recap. There's 20 seconds of nothing for each line Rimuru said, and we have minutes of sobbing after that. They mentioned already known information repeatedly and includes gag scenes with no narrative purposes. We have 20 minutes and there are only 2 things completed: Rimuru opening up to his subordinates and deciding who attack who. Literally half the episode can be cut and the plot can progress as normal. If that's not "dragged out" i don't know what is. And i know that. If anything that only proves how dragged the anime is. |
| extremely boring, dragged-out episode. |
| I really want to see the reactions of the Falmuth Soldiers getting slaughtered one by one by Rimuru. But The most important thing this series lacks is emotion cuz it is still happy go lucky even when many people died. It would have been better if Rimuru spoke a bit more seriously for the next couple of episodes. Bye-Bye!! |

Dont you think Rimuru should have had at least an poker face in this situation. But i really wanna see the next episode as soon as possible. |

| Rimuru's speech was really good, and they were planning the attack, now they're not gonna be kind against them, the war is gonna be epic for sure |
 |
| Quite a filler episode imo, but at least it should be pretty awesome next episode. Not gonna lie, quite badass of Benimaru to solo all of those troops on his own. |
| Recap + Filler + Build up excuse. All meaningful development could be done in 2 minutes of screen time instead. |
| Too much exposition, not enough ass-kicking! Hoping next week's ep will deliver! |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| I loved the episode. Feels like not enough people appreciate the conversation happening in this episode. I think preparation and aftermath is way more interesting and important than actual fighting. |
  |
| Damn it, I'm getting impatient! Waiting another week is going to be real pain now. Some buildup this episode was nice, but I feel that they dragged it out a bit. Especially the racep part was unneeded. |
| It's time to get the party started! Rimuru has come up with a plan of attack to take down the four pillars holding the barrier up. He is going to send a small amount of troops to each location for the takedown. Next episode is going to be tense! |
 |
| damnn.. next episode will be epic and massacre !! |
| All I'm gonna say is, there better be a second cour. We've barely scratched the surface of the story. Looking forward to the next episodes, anticipation for a certain.... new character is at an all time high. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Hoping that the final episodes for this cour will be heavily action and progress oriented since we've been getting a lot of build-up to get to this point. Granted I understand and appreciate the next for explanation and reflection, but having it episode after episode feels like attempts to fill and stretch out time. The retelling of the Dragon story could have been heavily condensed, or straight up happened off-screen since the viewer saw it just last episode and the entire Rimuru flashback lost its emphasis as a result of the constant flashbacks and feeling it was stretched out. Expecting a lot more to actually happen in the next part of the season, because this half has unfortunately suffered for needing to lay a lot of groundwork :S |
 |
| What a shit episode... The last 2 episode were boring as hell. Legit nothing happend.. They could have shown Rimuru brushing his teeth for 10 min straight and we would have gotten the same amount of new information... build up is ok if its like 10 min but not for 2 hole episodes.. Kinda disappointed :( |
