| if someone wondering how shizu die its because she is losing her live support which is ifrit... ifrit give him immortal body, if that ifrit not inside her body she die in this case she aged really quick if the ifrit still inside her she alive but can't control the ifrit... her mask suppress ifrit and give her control to ifrit... but sadly the mask can't hold anymore and destroyed... damn ninja can you stop cutting the onion !!! |
| What the?!!! I didn't expect Shizue to die but I remembered she did say she was decades old, subjugating Ifrit inside her all those years seems to have taken a toll on her. Goodbye Rimuru's destined one! Was that Pirino and Pizu with the Hero she saw when she was crossing the "other side"? Seems like Shizue's long lost friend, the Hero was the one who sealed Veldora hundreds of years ago. Is the Hero dead too, since Shizue saw her on Shizue's own final moments? Since there's a school for isekai kids, it must be a common occurrence in this world, summoned, abducted, pulled, reincarnated or other ways. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| So Rimuru is a Trap? Lol. So because it's a slime, would that me that it's "gender fluid?" Thank you, thank you. I know I'm hilarious. |
Unagi-san said: I`m really glad that Rimuru finally turned into human form. Such a cutie) Despite it reffered to itself as a man (otoko) in the end of the episode, I still like that character as a girl.  The animation is so soft and smooth, I really adore looking at Rimuru`s animation. Pretty sad for Shizu though... Rimuru don't have a gender on his human form though since he don't have any genital. |
| I am shocked that Shizu died, wow....Was she really his fated love then? Because the Hero looks exactly like her lol |
| Another awesome episode! Poor Shizue, we see her final moments, and she tell us how was her past, what she have done, how she felt and what she feell about that world, and we also see her last wish! That scena was really sentimental for me! And it was really well made, when we see Rimuru's human form crying! So finally Rimuru have his human form, and with hsi human for i will never forget about Shizue! The human group acepted that end well, and even tell Rimuro to transform into human for to say farewell to Shizue, was a nice moment! I am curious about that ending! |

lidomichael said: The hero is Shizue's mother?!?! 200 iq plays, that ponytail, "Why are you here", "How did you stay alive". 1) Know's Shizue's past 2) Has feelings for her thus sparing her 3) Same hairstyle 100% guaranteed to be Shizue's mother! Interesting observation! xD |
|
| - I supposed to cry or sad... but why i dont feel that way? - So, Rimuru human was taken by shizue when she was a child (with blue haired) - Then? Did Rimuru had a dick or pussy? or not both? - That pig-man disguss me. |
| Now Loading..... |
| Wow, that elf that predicted Rimuru's destiny needs to do another reading on him. He could well just find the next person to eat. To bad he got banished from that city. Looks like Shizu isn't going to be a long term companion at all... at least in the traditional sense. Honestly, I feel we really need that character that contends with Rimuru on the same level, whether that be a companion or an antagonist. At this rate, we'll really be lacking any sort of character attachment. I get that this is 24 episodes though, so I guess that'll be soon? |

| So Shizu was not the original hero, but instead became something like her successor. "Satoru-san, can I ask you for a favor?" Let me guess, eat her? "Please...eat me." I KNEW IT! What a cute transformation. Those tears though...Now we can see Rimuru's emotions... Aww that's sweet. Even though it's not Shizu, the three adventurers still say their goodbyes to Rimuru as Shizu... Lol. A slime who possesses the souls of Veldora, Ifrit, and Shizue...Reminds me of the Spirits system in Smash Bros. Ultimate where you equip the spirits and make their powers your own, like Rimuru! We have the introduction of Gelmud, and since he can give something a name, he could either be someone from another world or a powerful being. We will see. Now we know what Rimuru must do in this world: Fulfill Shizu's wish and find Leon Cromwell. But it looks like we're going to have to deal with some Ogres first. |

| Shizu running to her mom broke me I'm happy Rimuru finally got his human form, but at what cost... ;_; |
redcobra said: Comander-07 said: great episode, they nailed her backstory. But I now feel like its a complete waste of her character. Is she really just dead and thats it? That would be such a shame, its like she came straight out of a way better anime, and now they dont even use her right. Seriosuly, I would be more interested in Shizus story than in yet another OP MC anime. PS: Seems like this adaption skips quite a lot in terms of information, like how ifrit was the reason Shizu did not age and had to die now. Also, last episode we saw Veldora talking to Ifrit, does this mean they are still alive inside him? So does shizu still live? Does he actually intend to keep Voldora in his belly forever? Its like he totally forgot about that part. Did you did not hear she said already live decades because living as Majin. It's accurate as LN, not manga that bucher many cut and adding original stuff....... This is LN adaptation. Not quite. It's an adaptation of both LN and manga. The whole flashback with the fox and Shizu's friend that she ended up killing? That was only in the LN but not the manga. On the other hand in the LN the adventurer trio had the urge to report the events with Ifrit as fast as possible and missed the whole event of Shizu dying and therefore didn't see Rimuru in human form. That was only added in the manga. The anime combines these two exclusive contents into one medium. Sh4dez said: To me this episode felt really forced... like he needs a body and we want to give that some level of importance so here's a ton of information really fast and oh and by the way now that you sympathize with me I'm gonna die ( even though you have a super healing potion that has been able to help everyone else) Oh and also by the way eat me cuz I'm cool with it. Potions can't "cure" old age. |

| 8 episodes in and only now do we see Rimuru's human form, I guess it's a bit weird to hide it if it's the protagonist himself but I kinda disliked that the opening and such spoiled that he even had a human form and how it looked like. Wasn't actually expecting Shizu to die, I know she's old but considering she looked young and we're in a fantasy world I thought it would be a case of "I can live for hundreds of years because magic and I'm powerful". I don't know how to feel though, I get it's sad but it feels kinda forced like first off I don't think Shizu travelled with the group of adventurers particularly long (they make it sound like she travelled with them for months if not years when actually she just joined them in town before they left for the forest they're in now). The same goes for Rimuru as he hasn't been with her particularly long either but I guess she was the first person from his world that he met so that's something. I'm not saying it isn't sad but I just don't find her death to be as sad as the story makes it out to be. |
| Solid episode, albeit the change in direction was a little too drastic in my opinion! First half of the episode sure was emotional, I certainly didn’t expect that to be coming! Shizue’s storytelling was sad to hear but it’s nice to see Rimuru lending her an ear. One of her students has even become a top elite person among the society which is actually stunning, Rimuru promising to send Shizue’s final word to the Demon Lord sets up for some interesting fights and adventuring to come! Rip Shizue-san. Second half of the episode took a drastic turnaround of notion. It was nice to see the three adventurers care for their former 4th member and that final scene of them confessing all their heartfelt messages was heartbreaking to see. Nice armors they have gotten now though, surely they’ll return home safe at the very least. Final scene was awkward though, I must say. Next episode’s preview has something to do with Orcs so I wonder if this was in prep for next week’s ep. |

Mattinator95 said: I'm not really referring to fighting strength exactly, though I guess it is kinda related. If mostly talking about just having a character that doesn't seem kinda like a side-character, someone that speaks to Rimuru like they are on the same level.If they do it right like half of the characters in the opening are stronger then he is at this point Not saying it won't happen, because I think it definitely will. It's just that I hope it's soon, because I hope for more time to get attached to those characters. |

Mattinator95 said: great comment thenComander-07 said: It did not imply anything, lol. Her not aging could have been linked to her being a summon, or some stuff the summoner did. A fire demon inside you keeping you from aging isnt really common. But thats a real shame then. For once a likeable character and one where the word character is not wasted. But well, thats the way of mediocre anime. > Her not aging could have been linked to her being a summon, or some stuff the summoner did. A fire demon inside you keeping you from aging isnt really common. Can't say anything about this it's a spoiler if I did My point is it is afaik stated in the source, but not in the anime. Not even a single line. we go from her being exhausted or something to her dying all of a sudden. redcobra said: Did you did not what?Comander-07 said: great episode, they nailed her backstory.

Mattinator95 said: Well damn =/ That's a little disappointing but oh wellTokoya said: I am shocked that Shizu died, wow....Was she really his fated love then? Because the Hero looks exactly like her lol It's a misintrrpertaion by rimuru and everyone els. There's no romance in the series for the MC at least |
| This whole stupidity of her dying is annoying. what was the point of all the buildup if she just dies? I feel like rage quitting. Rimuru could have fixed her. But no , have to go with this approach. I hate it when writers insert these deus ex machina mechanisms. The show was pretty good until this point. But hey it appears all the power in the world does not change Rimuru being a loser. |

Tokoya said: I am shocked that Shizu died, wow....Was she really his fated love then? Because the Hero looks exactly like her lol Its not really that shocking. It was the Ifrit that was sustaining her life. If you noticed she quickly reverted to an old body. She literally aged 80 some years in a matter of minutes. By absorbing her, he both literally and figuratively inherited her will. |

| Okay, that was great. I was completely baffled at why so many people enjoyed the boring wish-fulfillment isekai that the first 6 episodes painted this out to be. Episode 7 was much better for showing us Shizu's backstory and getting us to care about her, but the uninteresting fight left a lot to be desired. This episode though? Just pure emotion. I love it. The reveal of Shizu's tragic past in episode 7 already gave her much more depth than literally every other character in the show thus far, but the way it showed all the fond memories she had of the people she met during her entire life really cements how well written and human her character is. The show also completely subverted my expectations of the main pairing having a conventional straightforward romance. I'm sure most anime-onlys like myself did not expect the "destined to be together" trope to play out in this bittersweet way. Its going to be interesting to see how the death of the main love interest so early on in the story will affect the MC. Him shedding tears immediately after taking Shizu's form is legitimately the first time I felt some depth to his character out of these 8 episodes. Hopefully having a human form will symbolize the start of him feeling like a human character. Easily the best episode so far, and also the first episode that actually lives up to the popularity and hype surrounding the show |
| So she's really dead? They amped her up to be a lovely main character with a sad backstory and we only get her for one episode? Annoyed and sad lmao |
"Before I slit your throat, I'll give you a kiss," Nezumi said softly. "You'll find out exactly how much better I am at giving farewell kisses."  |
| I'm both disappointed and annoyed that Shizu actually died. Not only was she set up as Satoru's destined pair, but I also actually liked her character and moreover the fact that she added some variety to the interaction. Prior to Shizu, everyone Satoru has come across has adopted a subordinate position. Shizu was the only person who could probably end up as an equal partner of sorts. But now that she's dead we're back to the same toon squad of people prostrating to Satoru which just makes for boring and predictable interactions. The decision to remove her is highly questionable because how does this actually advance the plot compared to if she was kept alive but on some kind of life support by Satoru? Not at all, since Satoru could still choose to help her and travel with her. Romance is also potentially forever out the window even though this series probably wasn't going to dwell heavily on it to begin with. In any event, I'm just not comfortable with how Shizu turned out--it showcases a data point of the author being willing to make a suboptimal decision for maybe shock factor. |
| I think the pacing for this anime is fantastic. I am not getting lost and it's easy to follow. Damn RIP Shizu. You will live on in the new loli form of Rimiru lol. OGRES NEXT BOYS!!!! MY GIRL SHION! |

I didn't even get that she was dieing from old age, I had to go back and watch it again and I can kinda see how they hinted at that but it's not obvious. She looks perfectly healthy and she's stronger then all the other adventurers there. Then suddenly after Rimiru beats Ifrit and eats it (somehow without eating her)... the next thing we see she's just lying in a bed... So logically I thought she got hurt when they fought but we are somehow suppose to get that she is old to the point of death? Even so without injury causing this untimely death... it seems very strange, why is she suddenly on her death bed, when yesterday she was fighting monsters and shit? I haven't read any of the source material, so I have no idea when or if an explanation is given, but I honestly think it's not that hard to understand. Ifrit basically allowed her to have extended if not eternal youth/life. Aging and health problems weren't a factor for her. So, it stands to reason that once Ifrit is gone, those effects would be gone, and she would rapidly age and die. Or, if that doesn't make sense, you can think of it like Jinchuriki from Naruto, where they're fucked if their respective tailed beast is removed from them. |

Is it really just going to be Rimuru doing what she was going to do anyways, but now without any personal investment outside of that she wanted to so he will? There's no emotional pathos to be gained like there would be from Shizu's adventure to get her answers. I can't bring myself to care about Rimuru doing this like I would have if she'd done so. Really, I have no attachement to any of the character here, non at all. Shizu on the other hand was great, her motivation was clear, even if her goal was not clear to herself. She is the perfect tragic hero, you could fill in so much plot. Aaaaand we end up with generic OP MC isekai of the season (its way better than most though) |
