But now it just delved into politics and runs with every single little plot point, thinking all of it is important. Tensei has always been fun for me because of the difference in the isekai formula it has always brought to the table. In the end, Clayman ( Koyasu Takehito ) had a sort of look at this plan I’m concocting type of moment, but Laplace suggests he is being controlled, exactly by who, we still don’t know, and it’s honestly all up in the air right now. I guess some people still don’t believe in the almighty slime-sama! Rimuru being just exactly himself, he decided to prove his actual demon lord-ness. I didn’t pay him any mind, but in this episode, he sort of became prevalent and challenged the trust everyone has in the slime. Why wouldn’t they be, Rimuru is finally a Demon Lord proven in this episode by the intimidating aura he pushes forward towards Elalude, as Elalude was pushing Rimuru a little too far (?) I didn’t really get the whole reason why Rimuru activated his demon lord aura, but it was a cool moment I guess.Įlalude has been an interesting character, taking the role of Ellen’s father but overall pretty snarky in his comments, sort of the passive-aggressive type.
A sort of scapegoat if you will, but planted by Rimuru himself, everyone is in accordance with this plan. The only thing that came through from this experience was that Rimuru is using Veldora to pin his war sins. But the logical progression of the story has to lead us to this point, where people are sitting around in congress and talking about politics (ugh!). Has Tensei lost its way? I don’t think so at all. And I think most of it is true even though this and the last episode has made me dubious about where the future lays, and the week-by-week entertainment it’s given me. Rimuru has always been the glue that holds together the series. Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken has always been a show where things are either very wholesome or insanely interesting because of the way Rimuru approaches difficult situations. But we’re too deep in it now to do anything drastic about it.
My thoughts about this episode are largely the same as the last episode.
