Rimuru's students return! Good to know this season remembers them and they seem excited this episode.

Freedom school's Tiss also showed up and seems to be on good terms with everyone. It's a chill and refreshing episode seeing the younger cast together with Rimuru.

Not sure who did Rimuru’s makeup lol, because he doesn’t at all give an impression which should look synonymous with an intimidating demon lord. But yeah, been a long time since we last saw all of these characters at one place, though again, if this festival arc doesn’t even do this much then it being excessively long(still ongoing) would not make much sense. Though I’d have actually preferred if Rimuru didn’t go all the way to meet Yuuki of all people.

The usual meet-and-greet aside, as I mean we’ve had only that for this entire season, so anyway, I’m glad the guy whose existence is the mere sight of word charisma itself, Masayuki, arrived in the town. How every fitting for an OP as fuck hero guy to be voiced by Matsuoka, literally lol. Looking forward to him competing and winning by a landslide xD

I have a strong feeling that this festival will be better organized than the recent Olympics. Masayuki and his whole party is cooked.

It’s crazy how you could skip damn near half this season and jump to this episode and still be ok because of how much they recap the major points and how much little has happened. Like this episode and the Hakuro/Benimaru are the only ones you really need to peep lol.

That said, this was a pretty good episode despite being mainly dialogue. Got to see a lot of characters we haven’t seen in a while like Kazali and my boy Youm who’s gone on to become king! And he got his dream girl Mjurran who looks absolutely stunning. He won fr. Glad they’re both happy and changing their country.

It just feels so weird having Yuki around knowing all the shit he up to in the background lol. Dude in there all smiling and acting like Rimuru’s good friend whole time he’s a devil 🤦🏽‍♂️

Love that Rimuru made sure to bring the kids so they could have fun and give them unlimited access passes, such a great teacher. And it was sweet they wanted to bring Tiss sensei. Always nice seeing kids appreciate the educators in their lives

And Masayuki finally here. Poor dude getting set up for failure. By his own group. He has too much aura for his own good lol. Solid episode, one of the better talking head ones

This anime has very big cast, like 50+ characters per episode? Half of the budget probably went to voice performance cost.

The evil's plan is already in motion, and this time it's so well-hidden that no one, not even Rimuru, can sense that a calamity is coming.

Still wondering when and why did the enjoyable slime became this boring pos talkshow... and spare me the "world building" bs because that could also be managed in a more ejoyable way.
The animation is lacking as well - ah right there is not much to animate except opening mouths.
Don't want to offend anyone, I'm also still watching this hoping it could turn back to a good show but with every new episode I'm just loosing hope.

@phantomfandom Voice actors are usually paid per word, so a big cast doesn't have to cost more than a small cast. The most important factors are usually the popularity of the voice actors and the number of words spoken (or in some cases how long the recordings take).

For example, Diablo is voiced by a popular voice actor but only had two lines, so he probably didn't get paid a lot for this episode.

This shows issue is that it has far too many characters so it has to go on exposition dumps constantly.

At least some things happened in this episode, but it was still pretty boring. It's like they're churning as many episodes out as they can while covering as little of the story as possible.

I'm not sure what Yuki's plan is.
He probably wanted Masayuki to attack Rimuru upon arrival and possibly defeat him with his OP skill.
But he was caught off guard when the Demon Lord himself showed up on his doorstep... to invite him to his festival.
He is trying to look friendly to Rimuru and Masayuki could expose him under the wrong circumstances.
Therefore, it seems like he has postponed his plan and possibly scrapped the idea of using Masayuki intentionally altogether.

This is just speculation though.
I hope we learn that he is thinking, 'cause that was the only part of the episode I'm not 100% on board with.
Next episode, it's festival time!!!🎉

Multiple meetings with other kingdoms and we also see Rimuru's kids and they still love him just as ever. They're so cute. Also, Masayuki's companions yap a lot. They're seriously underestimating Rimuru. LOL. Can't wait for the festival now and of course, the tournament as well.

Kind of weird seeing the Dwarf king turn up in a suit though. Kinda expected him to turn up in his armor. Still nice little push for Rimuru to fast forward his plans to invent new ways of travel. With the seven douchbags gone at least Hinata can run her order without anyone interfering. Nice to see Youm again. Falmenace is quite the name for a new kingdom. It was nice to see the kids again as well. The lightspeed hero really needs to be more assertive. Can't wait to see how the challenge between them plays out.

While this is a dialogue-heavy episode, I was enjoying seeing the familiar faces appearing once again, with Tiss-Sensei and the young students being a personal favourite part for me. Having Rimuru teleport the kids to his nation and giving them an amulet which gives them a near limitless amount to spend during the festival was very sweet. =)

Yuki appearing again was expected and he was acting friendly, although knowing what he truly does behind the scenes, you can't but wonder if he'll do something dodgy during this arc. I guess we can only find out later on.

Still, at least he did help Rimuru when Masayuki arrived, where his allies were too high on their ego by denouncing Rimuru and wanting to take him down. Poor Masayuki looks like the sort of guy who doesn't want to be there at all. XD

So nothing really happened until the last few minutes when the hero and his (on the nose annoying) party arrived. The hero's party did that typical anime thing where they're so overly annoying, rude and silly that it's almost unreal (as in it feels like people would only act that way when written in) with being overly rude and presumptive to Rimuru that he's evil etc. etc. and that they can easily beat him.

The animation parts of the episode was also impressively lazy, and it's a surprise that such a popular show could be reduced to holding frame over a drawing of a bookcase while people talk.

Yuuki the evil villain otherworlder was back and (maybe because I was already annoyed by the low budget animation) it was grating how he was loitering there the whole time when you just want it to be over with and Rimuru to kick his ass or something 😬

Think i'm starting to see why Crunchyroll removed their comments section.

The translation for this episode was bad, they straight up turned one english word into a different one (Romantist = Ambitious) which completely changes the context and isn't like Rimuru's character at all :(

The hero's party is so full of themselves, I can't wait to see them all struggle against the Tempest combatants they happen to face-off against.

Rimuru welcoming is long-time allies shows how much of a family they've all been. Well, except for Blumund's king since it was always Fuze that Rimuru talked to. But youm finally made an honest woman out of mjurran lol

This was a bit of a slower one in the first half when Rimuru was talking to leaders of other countries, but it was nice seeing some familiar faces again, especially Youm and Myulan, Youm is eating astronomically good with a babe like Myulan by his side, I miss her involvement in the story even if it started out very rough. The episode picked up a bit for me tho when Rimuru went to invite Yuki, the students and Tiss Sensei to the festival, I know Yuki is secretly a villain but I can’t help but like the guy, and of course it’s nice seeing the kids again, Rimuru over here being the cool uncle by giving them a free pass for stalls and events lol.

I also liked the short bit with Kagali as well, not sure if she’s telling the truth about spelunking in ancient ruins but that is very cool if so, and just like Yuki I can’t help but like her too, and Rimuru just gave her access to Clayman’s ruins huh, something interesting might come of this lol. And the last bit with Masayuki and his party was goofy, poor lad could barely get a word in before his party gets him signed up for a tournament, but now this tournament is looking a lot more interesting thanks to this development, I’m excited to see if he can take on Rimuru’s subordinates, but I will be pretty disappointed if he’s just a meme like everyone else has been and isn’t able to touch even Shion.

dooooood....Masayuki's "minions" need to be taken down a peg or near death preferably.....
I hope there's some way to get around Masayuki's unique skill that "buffs them" or however it works....cuz they were just plain RUDE and they need a couple of slaps to knock that stuck-up attitude out.

I was getting so mad on Rimuru's behalf I was actually screaming at the screen for someone to slap em.

All the dignitaries from fellow nations have arrived just before the festival starts to greet Rimuru. Some audiences with a few kings who we've seen before. The Blumund king keeping his and Rimuru deal in tact and Dwargo getting upset at Rimuru bringing him into the peace talks with the western church. Both informative but fun moments with Rimuru interacting with other world leaders. Youm coming back for the festival is awesome, following all the craziness of last season and earlier this season its nice to see Youm under peaceful circumstances. Myulan being his queen is so wholesome to see, they do balance each other out well. Grucius as their head of knights is a great touch. Three people we've seen in tough situations throughout this story who have all found their place in the world, very nice seeing them all again. They even have the previous King's son Edgar acting as their attendant. Speaking of seeing people again we got the students again! I loved seeing all those kids and their teacher. Rimuru has been so busy he couldn't come see them sooner but now they'll get tons of fun at the festival. Yuki sticking around keeping his dastardly eye on things per usual. Playing the nice guy to Rimuru so he trusts him. Including defusing the situation with Masayuki party outside the city. Lets just say those party members that Masayuki has are quite Gung-ho all the time. Ready to go at a moment's notice to defend Masayuki even if nothing has happened. That chosen one skill has some wonky side effects. Including them in the martial arts tournament should make it even more fun!

Despite more meetings and whatnot I actually enjoyed this episode primarily because we got to see some characters that we haven't seen in a while such as Rimuru's students. Chloe, whom I've always thought looked like lil' Shizu, was as adorable and sweet as ever and even told Rimuru that she and the group would buy him a present from the upcoming festival. It was nice that everyone was invited, even their current teacher, although I didn't care that Yuuki was as that's someone that can't be trusted with his plotting.

Btw, with the title of the next episode being called "Festival Eve" I think that implies that the actual festival may not start until the episode after next, jeez lol.

@Shaiko66 If you think the second cour is bad, I don't know how you got past the first cour, because that was genuinely unbearable. It also brought out hilariously bad takes from the people defending it.

Anyway, maybe it's because my expectations were rock bottom due to the first cour, but I've been enjoying every episode of the second cour. Even this episode wasn't bad, maybe a bit boring in terms of content but it had good pacing. Good to see some familiar faces.

The manga does a few things differently. For example, in the manga Rimuru meets Kagali the first time when he meets Yuuki for the first time.

Clayman was annoying too, but at least he had all that power to back it up as a demon lord. Meanwhile those three simps, I don't think they could even beat lone Gobta 3-on-1.

It's always cringey when Yuuki is acting chummy with Rimuru like that 😅

It would be interesting to know that Masayuki's fate-twisting auto-hero's luck might just be easily countered by Shion's passive skill since it can re-twist any twist instantaneously according to what she wants to happen in any point she wants to. Looking forward to how those two passive attributes/skills will interact.

Lmao can't wait to see Masayuki and his party getting cooked by Rimuru. But Masayuki has an interesting ability which could make him an OP protagonist of his own generic isekai. I wonder if he has any chance against Rimuru.

I really dislike the time Rimuru spends with the kids.
Weakest arc in the entire series in the past. No difference now, either.

They were always a forced insert to humanize... Well, a human.
To a very poor extent.

Hinata was fine, sure. Even schemer Yuuki isn't much of any issue.
However, the actual children are and will continue to be a massive stall to the series. That should have been caught in editing by now.

Running around the festival with Milim and any other demon lord.
Instead of dedicating any on screen time to them.

Would have been much more appropriate.

Since the author has always been involved in his works adaptations.
I was always hoping that they would pivot that aspect of the series.

Instead of leaving, and turning it into minutes of runtime. What feels in print like a couple seconds. As that is the deviation between 10 pages and 10 minutes++. Between mediums.

hmm... Rimuru talking with the Dwarf king about "Human supremacist" and Hinata's going to "get rid" of them...

But then we literally just saw in episode 17's end where majority of humans are praising the Hero to go kill Rimuru... as Humans are the "good" while the Demon lords (and their followers) are the "bad"...

This is in a way "racists" and thus "Human supremacist".... so... are we going to go kill off majority of Humans that are against Demons and demi-races? hmm...

.

Meanwhile... Rimuru's still oblivious toward Yuuki and chatting up with him like they're best buddies...

But I guess Rimuru can't really touch Yuuki, since at this point... Yuuki pretty much controls most of the things that happens in this Isekai World... including having nearly 100% control of all Adventurers (including the "Hero").

.

And we got the cute little kids again.

.

And then... we got carts full of sexy Elves arriving with the "hero".

With the hero's followers doing the actual YAPPING, to try and cause a fight.

I wonder if Rimuru's "Raphael" have any way to counter "Chosen One", especially what with both "voice" seems to come from the same source... IE: "Voice of the World" (which Rimuru failed to obtain and got Raphael instead)

You know, knowing what we already know about Yuuki behind the scenes his interactions with Rimuru are quite tainted now. He could be lying at any point and acting like a good boy preparing for his time to strike but regardless, the festival and the tournament are fast approaching. Gotta hand it the Masayuki's companions for making his interactions that much more interesting and signing up for a challenge, again, without doing anything.

It feels really uncomfortable to see Yuuki around Rimuru, seeing what Rimuru is doing and maybe his plans... when we know that Yuuki is evil. I hope Rimuru hasn't gotten rid of all his suspicions of Yuuki.

On the other hand, I know I should be used to this and it's already the third season but for some reason I still get annoyed seeing people underestimating Rimuru lol. It might be really fun and funny if Diablo was there to hear that xD

Anyways, I'm glad that those kids are joining the festivities!! They are so adorable.

YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK ALL THE OTHER GIRLS, RIMURU SHOULD MARRY TISS.
Crazy how she is so cute and a really beloved character for Rimuru and the kids when she doesn't even exist in the novel lol

I really think the Masayuki plot came to save this 2nd half of the season, his party is really funny, I hope Milim also enters the tournament or something like that so she can face off him and beat the shit out of him since he is a "hero", that would be so fkng funny.

The kids return too! They appear in every opening, yet just now we finally see them again, this fanchise may have the most clickbait openings of them all, like when we saw Rimuru fighting Hinata in the very 1st opening, when se wasn't even introduced yet lol

Yuuki is supposed to be a bad guy, but at the same time he is such a bro to Rimuru, he really does a well job at manipulating and pretending, I hope someday we can see Rimuru facing off him.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.
