That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Tensei shitara Slime datta Ken

[Kraco]

He wanted to give the corrupt noble, Vesta, a lesson. That's why he said Vesta's selfish actions led to losing a potentially high valuable ally. However, the later scene, in my opinion, clearly indicated he considers Rimuru right now a threat. He was probably almost happy he could use this path to get Rimuru out of his kingdom so smoothly. Even though Rimuru behaved, you could say it's even more scary. Only if you are feeling very safe and secure, you can just go with the flow openly. Like Rimuru showed absolutely no signs that he would be worried about severe sentences/punishments, like David said, as if he could break free and cause chaos any time he wanted. Not that it would be easy to try to judge a slime's feelings.

[Ryllharu]

The true punishment was always for Vesta. He even took the thing Vesta most wanted from him, by stating he was never to show his face to the king ever again, but didn't exile him. He said it pretty clearly, he waited years for Vesta to admit he was the one at fault, and framed Kaijin.

I think the king knew Kaijin was going to leave no matter what. The insultingly impossible task Vesta gave him was sure to drive him away one way or another. Frustration, exhaustion, or forced disgrace. The whole trial was a farce, designed to give Vesta one last chance to repent. He didn't.

It's also noteworthy that Vesta was shocked when Kaijin was exiled. That's not the outcome he wanted. He wanted Kaijin around, he's a huge asset to the kingdom. Like Kaijin said, Vesta is a good man at heart, who believes in the good of the kingdom. He just lost his way for some reason. Maybe it was resentment, maybe it was frustration, maybe he just lost his way.

Rimuru was just there kind of, when you take a step back and look at this as mostly being about dwarf politics, which it was.

Rimuru's existence alone unnerves the king, not the fact that Kaijin is going to the slime. A slime shouldn't be that powerful. Shouldn't be able to produce perfect potions when their research has gotten them only close after decades. Someone that powerful shouldn't have appeared without his spy network knowing about Rimuru before he came to the city unannounced. And from the earlier episode...everyone know Veladora disappeared. Add all those pieces together, and any competent leader who is labeled the Hero King, and has been around as long as he has should be suitably freaked the fuck out.

Ep 6 out

It picks up some speed it seems.
So plots can go from political: new village with some organisation, love relationship with Shizu, and a formidable opponent with that mage who was able to summon Shizu on his own when it's difficult for 30 mages to do so. And he also has other summons since he placed that fire one in Shizu.

We still need to get more characters, so some acceleration is still needed.

[Kraco]

Shizu isn't any weakling, but of course nothing compared to a slime.

Rimuru needs still more experts. The goblins themselves are little more than beasts as far as civilization goes. Although they can now learn, after evolving, there's nothing to learn if there's nobody teaching them.

[David75]

I'm starting to think he reincarnated as a babe boob cushion, I forgot about that earlier

[KrayZ33]

So... shouldn't the dragon inside Rimuru act up having the boobs of his vanquisher so close to him.

The powerlevel curve went up alot in a single episode.

How does she know what video games are if she's from WW2 era?

How does she know what video games are if she's from WW2 era?

Her line states it very clearly. "I've never played it, but I heard about it from someone in my country." That was immediately after Rimuru started to ask her if she was from Japan, she actually interrupts him as Rimuru begins to say "Nihon."

The implications are super obvious:

She's not the only Summon from Japan.

The other obvious implication:

How obnoxious must that friend be if he talks about DQ so much that a girl that's never seen a video game can recognize DQ quotes...

In the ED she's with a bunch of brats. If those are the other Japanese summons, it'd be no wonder if one or two of them talked about games non-stop after getting summoned into a world that was like a fantasy game.

[MFauli]

This anime is so nice. Just fun to watch.

Only thing I'm concerned about: is Rimuru gonna change into a girl? :/ Because Shizu looks like his human form with black hair.

How does she know what video games are if she's from WW2 era?

DQ1 released in 1986, so ... hm. Better latter reveal another summon who told her. Pretty bad oversight otherwise.

[shinta|hikari]

nevermind.

All of that was cool.

[David75]

Maybe a little slow, or off rythm. But it might be me.

[DarthEnderX]

So are Shizu's fire powers just gone now that Rimuru ate Ifrit?

[Kraco]

100% fire resistance means Rimuru will never be able to enjoy sauna. Life not worth living. Actually, I guess it's not even completely a joke since for a Japanese onsen should be the same thing?

I dunno. His resistance just means he doesn't take damage from heat. Not that he can't feel it.

If it's a super convenient resistance like that, being able to intelligently deduce what is damage and what is not. Of course that could be the case since this is one of the ultra OP MC series where the MCs typically have few inconveniences.

[Ryllharu]

Thermal Fluctuation Resistance.

So rapid changes in temperature. Fire attacks, and presumably also freeze attacks (not ice, that's physical as shown).

Baths and Onsen are not off the table yet! A shower ahead of time might allow for it.

[David75]

Veldora will regain some fire power when he beats and assimilates Ifrit.
Quite a nice match, dragon x fire demon
