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

So Rimuru is just stupid then and ignores that?

He isn't. That's why he's not giving them a chance to retaliate or defend themselves.

Then shut up with your nazi bullshit

Never. You are "guy who doesn't think Nazis deserve to die" every time you try and highroad someone in an ethical debate from now on.

Yeah. What irks me is that basically the anime attempts to absolve Rimuru from moral dilemma by giving him the bs resurrection option. Oh how convenient, there are 20k soldiers and the resurrection requires 10k. Makes you wonder what Rimuru would have done if it had been only 6000 soldiers. Fly to Falmuth and kill 4000 civilians?

The fact that there's twice as many as he needs means he ISN'T absolved though. If he kills the full 20k, then it's not just to revive his friends. It's because he's made the decision to utterly annihilate his attackers.
