    Funnily enough English is also guilty of it, to a degree, as in many cases you simply have to know beforehand how a word is pronounced. Theoretically English fiction could thus come up with any number of fancy names that nobody would know how to utter aloud, when simply reading the text. In fact I've probably had no idea what the author might have sometimes had in mind when I was reading fantasy and scifi novels in the past.

    Good boy Ranga rolling that guy like a ball.

    The transition to this episode felt a bit abrupt since last time it was all about Hinata's fight. Anyway, there's finally someone figuring this shit out.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I'm wondering if the 5 sages that actually showed themselves are just going to get obliterated here.

    Obliterated for sure, because Rimuru is actually angry now.

    In the LN, it was VERY clear that Rimuru never took Hinata seriously, fighting her using a sword and not using magic attacks. If he just decided to devour her from the start, that fight would not have lasted 10 seconds.

    He has no reason to be considerate with these masked molesters.

    I definitely feel like the translation is fucking with me now too.

    After last week's 'Oni vs. OHni', now we have 'Demon Lord vs. Daemon Lord'.

    Fuck you guys! Get a thesaurus!

    I may have suggested so before, but the whole sages' scheme plot is deeply flawed. They needed all of these plans to supposedly get rid of Hinata. Hinata couldn't kill Rimuru back when Rimuru was much weaker than now. So far so good. However, this is exactly where the plan should end. There's not a single person in the world who would assume those sages, who needed help to remove Hinata, could face someone powerful enough to deal with Hinata, that is, Rimuru. So, they never should have appeared before Rimuru. Instead they should have continued their plan behind the scenes to accuse Rimuru of slaying the popular Hinata. The same goes for the Falmuth confrontation. The more the sages learned about Diablo, the more obvious they couldn't deal with him alone.

    Of course it's dubious in the first place for the sages to kill the best fighter among themselves. The holy kingdom would be much weaker without Hinata. Even if we ignore the huge issue of their own "god" giving the order not to antagonise the Jura Forest.

    Them confronting Rimuru and Diablo directly is such a bad idea that at this point, I'm convinced the Sages aren't real. I think they're literally puppets of some other being.

    Molesters?

    I'm not watching this anymore, but pls don't tell me genocidal maniac mass murderer Rimuru took the moral highground, because someone did something sexual. I'd be cringing myself into unconsciousness.

    Not really. It's a pretty cliche joke at this point. At least, here in the US.

    Priests touch kids. That's the stereotype.

    Do German priests not molest kids?

    It's a thing in some Asian countries too.

    The pope and clergy actually actively cover and protect these priests too.

    Some? Just like some men rape, but I wouldn't call you a rapist?

    I'm not religious, but this 'ALL priests molest children' stuff is cringe, ngl.

    I think the issue with priests is they are overrepresented in the kid-raping population.

    Disclaimer: Not all men priests.

    Probably only catholic priests, as the pope doesn't allow them to get married. I can't honestly remember a protestant priest from my corner of the world having got into such trouble. There might be such cases, of course, but they are rare enough that I wouldn't remember. That being said, I reckon it's precisely the catholic church equivalent that serves the role of the evil religion in fantasy LN/manga/anime.

    lol we didn't even get any motives from the old farts. They just died, except for one of them who was actually a spy.

    So, the mafia country was behind it all. It seems like the rest of the seven day sages were quite easy to manipulate. But then again, they were small fries.

    Quite a weird day, from a religious point of view, for the knights.

    Luminous is pretty forgiving about Veldoria unraveling the entire religion she founded.
