    For me, the Clayman scene came totally out of nowhere. I haven't got a clue about why this series had him appear at all. It seemed pretty counterproductive because I also thought he was portrayed strangely. None of the other character in the Jura Tempest city have been depicted as anything totally different from how they are in the main series. At least that I can immediately think of. I feel like Trainee is kind of goofy also in the main story, though maybe not quite as much as in Nikki, but still.

    Nikki episode 7


    - - - - -


    Poor Milim. Even a door has too many moving parts for her.

    As expected, this episode felt less long than most of the others. Too bad Rimuru still didn't have enough life experience to tell Milim that it's better to have experienced life with friends, home, and other important things, even if you later lost them, than to not have ever possessed any of such things. Not that it would have really mattered since it seemed to be just sleep talk. Of course from the main series we do know why Milim was so melancholic and why she has tried to live a life of total independence (or non-dependence) and freedom ever since. I guess it'll be up to Rimuru to fix that weakness/cowardice in her character.

    Nikki 8

    Yeah, these Milim eps are definitely better than the rest, so far. She brings just the right amount of chaos to stop these fillerish stories being utterly boring. That was actually the only thing I expected from them, but in fact I feel like there's a bonus I didn't think about beforehand: Watching these eps with Milim actually makes what's going on in the main series feel more meaningful what comes to Milim. She attacked a nation friendly to the Jura Tempest and seems to be working in cooperation with Jura Tempest's currently worst enemy, Clayman. When you watch these Nikki eps with her, you get a deeper sense of how much she must like Jura Tempest and Rimuru himself, yet she still ended up on the enemy side.

    Nikki 11


    -- --



    Getting reminded of the harpy demon lord while eating a chicken leg was the best joke of the episode. This episode wasn't nearly as boring as the previous one, which is a good thing. Rimuru surely is doing his best to have some kind of festival every single month of the year in Jura-Tempest. No wonder the human visitors keep wondering if it's really a monster town.

    Episode 37


    - - - - -


    Things are rolling again. If you think about it, Rimuru has quite a lot of power behind him now. Diablo alone could be among the top 20 most powerful individuals (at least those that we know of and can guess about). He was a big deal before getting a name, so he should be even stronger now. It goes without saying Veldora should be among the top 10, being such a legend, as well as Rimuru himself. Falmuth and the western church needed to use pretty heavy indirect means to be able to defeat the Shion, Benimaru, and the others, so if you remove those means, how strong can they be? Of course we don't actually know the levels of power of many of the remaining demon lords. Clayman doesn't seem to be too strong personally, nor was Carrion, but Milim is a real powerhouse. We can naturally assume the first demon lord should be no joke, though I don't remember if we know anything much about him, possibly not even the name?

    Veldora is quite an amusing dude. Flamboyant to the max.

    "Hide my power level? Supersaiyaaaaaaaaaaaaan" xD

    Those 50 soldiers are crazy. They were 100% going to die against an entire army but they marched anyway.

    As for Shion's cooking, it makes things taste nice but nothing said it'd be nutritious. Thus, you'd still need high poison resistance to not die eating it - even if it tastes like bliss.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Or non-poisonous...

    Waste of a Zenkai boost if you ask me.

    But Shion was so cute swaying this way and that way and cavorting every other way while she cooked.

    It fulfilled one of her lifelong dreams though. Who are we to judge? She's already super-powered physically.

    Also, Gabiru's banishment was ended!

    Kinda slow, a "Rimuru is so benevolent" episode.

    Otherwise actual plot points were merely:

    1) Veldora did it.
    2) Welcome alliance people.
    3) Fuck you Clayman (and he's ?apparently not a demon lord since he's also after a bunch of lives)

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    The title of a demon lord has seemed kind of ambiguous. At first it appeared to be a bunch of non-humans ruling countries or regions equivalent to countries, but then it got a whole lot more technical with a large amount of humans needed to be sacrificed for one to become a demon lord. But then again, if "demon lord" isn't actually a very official title, it does make sense the definition could be less than strictly defined or could have changed over time in the history of that world. Do we know if Ramiris has actually slaughtered thousands of humans? I can't remember. It just seems pretty unlikely.

    Anyone can proclaim themselves a demon lord.

    But 'true demon lords' are those who have awakened like Rimuru just did. One way to that is to kill lots of people. Rimuru did that, and Clayman has been plotting to do so. But we have to assume there are also other ways because there are extremely old demon lords.

    Funny the episode was called, like, "Ramirez' big announcement" but she never actually got to, like, deliver her message. She got sidetracked and then passed out.

    Episode 40

    ----------------------




    -I would feel uncomfortable with sending the prisoners back without Diablo. Too easy to trick Youm or just overpower him.

    -Rimuru does know how to teleport from memory.

    -Veldora being an anti-ambush bastion is a good way to write him off attending any of Rimuru's offensive attacks routinely from a narrative POV.

    Ramiris is so stupid for how apparently powerful she claims to be. No reason to not believe her either, she is a true demon lord and Veladora knows her.

    I didn't notice is before, but she reminds me of a lot of the 90s anime characters played by Hayashibara Megumi (Lina Inverse, female Ranma, Lime from Saber Marionette, etc.).

    I'm not convinced that is a hard rule. Especially not for Ramiris. I've said it before and I'll say it again. They've implied that killing shitloads of people is the easiest way. They've never said it is the only way.

    Ramiris is older than Milim's reign as a demon lord, which is thousands of years per the dragon myth that is obviously about Milim. Ramiris is shown as the fairy queen in the images. Same color hair, wings, and braids.

    Which means there's something off about Ramiris' current state in general.

    She's boastful, is really old, and has claimed varying degrees of power while in present state is very weak. Also tiny currently when in the Milim-dragon myth she's way bigger.

    And she just casually mentioned that she'll open an entrance to her labyrinth in Tempest. Her labyrinth that is really far away.

    I wonder if you can become a TDL just by killing another TDL.

    Most definitely. You just need a sacrifice of that amount, not necessarily from that specific source.
