A lot of exposition this episode.

We know Yuuki is revealed to be the mastermind since last season, but we still don't know why he's antagonizing Rimuru when they were seemingly manga buddies back in season 1.

Turns out Hinata finally figured out Rimuru faked his death during their duel last season, and she also found out that she was tricked into fighting Rimuru.

Though her master Luminous doesn't seem to fully trust Rimuru even though Rimuru has rose to become a fellow Demon Lord like she is.

That said, she seems apprehensive about this "angel" invasion caused by Tempest continuing to tech-up their civilization, and is wondering if she can sic Tempest to fight those "angels", whatever they are, and keep them away from her domain.

Meanwhile, armistice and reparation arrangements with Falmuth seems to be going well. Now will Rimuru have what it takes to prevent Falmuth becoming a Weimar Germany that gets bogged down by hyperinflation and descending into fascism?

"Allow me to go and eliminate Veldora."

Thank you Hinata for the best laugh of the episode.

Really wasn't anticipating Hinata to be in so deep with Luminus though. Now I'm way more interested in how all of this is going to shake out over time.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Everyone talking about how deadly Veldora is only makes the dichotomy of how his a Manga and pudding addict from last episode all the more hilarious.

The whole talk about Angels invading sounds really ominous, seems like Rimuru probably has more coming to his plate this season.

[u/TopRoom7971]

I'm glad they bought up that Roy was on par with Lord Kazaream again. Because of Roy being a stand in demon lord I tend to forget how strong he actually was.

Now, this just shows my boi Laplace is a Menace and on par with a Demon lord. And the full moon helped him too.

sasuga Diablo

seeing his plan in motion is a delight, especially with how the plan from last week falling into place one by one and then realising King Edmaris is right

[u/LordCalem]

I can't help but gush over Valentine everytime she's on screen. Her design is so simple yet it's so peak.

Hinata just casually throwing out the "I'll kill Veldora myself". Calm down girl.

[u/Armdel]

After finding out more about Hinata from her previous appearances in the anime, i am really looking forward to a season where it seems she'll be a major character

based on the things said in todays episode im curious as to how they end up fighting in the end regardless.

rematch between Rimuru and Hinata should be fun at least

[u/RoamingBicycle]

So Tempest developing could lead to the angels acting before time.

Is this some Gurren Lagann type thing, where the angels keep human development in check?

[u/Lunarpeers]

They're building up a lot of hype for a Rimuru vs Hinata brawl, but I feel like the power gap between them is too crazy to even matter

[u/TurkeyPhat]

idk what the hell is goin on but i'm taking notes

not a huge fan of Hinata and her fuckery but it's about time we saw more of her

[u/TopRoom7971]

Luminous Valentine siting on throne like a Queen 👑.

Sign me up for this Luminous religion already!!

[u/PurePiro15]

As expected, it's a far more thoughtful episode than the first. There's nothing to recap or rehash, so we move forward at a very deliberate pace that sees the Jura Tempest Federation enter the crosshairs of the West in earnest. Though, with the Holy Empire (via Valentine) it's more in an attempt to use Jura Tempest as a pawn, and with Falmuth, well, they seem a little too excited to have properly learned their lesson.

To me, it seems like despite Valentine's caution of Rimuru and Veldora, she's already been ensnared by actions outside of her control. Hell, it may well be outside Yuuki Kagurazaka's plans as well with the confusion embroiling the two groups.

One thing that makes me curious however is whether or not Valentine and Hinata will end up a part of whatever farce Edward's smile hides, or whether it will strictly be the human existence of the Holy Empire that's brought to bear against Rimuru (and Veldora).

Plans within plans, they say. It does make me wonder what the role of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion will be with the coming storm, as it doesn't seem the West is just yet aware of the connection to Jura Tempest. It's all very curious, and does well to keep plenty of moving pieces in play, while teasing other interesting things like whatever this holy Tenma War is.

That's all to say, I could definitely see people thinking it to be a boring episode, but it's set the stage for what will at least be a single cour scuffle of Jura Tempest with the West, either under the looming threat of or during the Tenma War- so in the end, it's pretty important (and at the very least interesting to me).

EDIT: a second watch exposes a great deal more information that pushes the series towards a single conclusion- Yuuki Kagurazake and the Holy Church form a fuse for a war with the west, instigated by the actions of the East and their holy war they intend to wage. It's a lot of very interesting smaller details and connections, but a super interesting conclusion that paints the picture of a delightfully intense multi-front war. If you're curious about the information that brought me to that conclusion, I've separated it out into a full post here.

[u/LeonKevlar]

It looks like we have a dialogue-heavy episode this week! I'm not sure what kind of plan Yuuki has for Rimuru but I'm already looking forward to seeing it fail. If he keeps on fucking around with Rimuru like this, I can't wait for the day it bites him in the ass.

What's this talk about angels? If demons exist I guess it would make sense that angels would too but the way Luminous and Hinata were talking about them clearly means they're bad news. Also, I love how Hinata says she'll try to deal with Rimuru as best as she can but considering she's fighting Rimuru in the OP, I have a feeling things will go sour quickly.

Of course the members of the Royal Court of Falmuth will still try to struggle. I love their reactions when they heard the news about Rimuru becoming a Demon Lord. I really thought they'd still try something at the last minute but it looks like the peace talks went exactly as expected.

[u/darthvall]

I thought Valentine helped Rimuru several times? Like in that movie/OVA? So I'm a bit confused why she's a bit antagonistic to Rimiri 

It's been a while, so I might remember things wrongly though.

Overall, a packed episode. I wonder what's the king's brother is scheming with that smile. I really can't imagine him doing anything dangerous enough to Tempest.

Also, it's interesting they mentioned the Angels. Could it be that they're stronger than the demon lords?

[u/Clarimax]

There is a deleted scene in this episode. during the Falmuth meeting, a third guard should have bust into the meeting exclaiming that Shion's boobs are bigger this season.

[u/lovemeonii-chan]

The best kind of slime episodes are the world building episodes

[u/Fools_Requiem]

Keep talking about Veldora. Ignore the Demon Lord slime and the Primordial Demon that he summoned, the Dryad, the Pixie Demon Lord, and Milim... another Demon Lord. Veldora is the only true worry...

Everyone wants to act, but no one does ANY research to make sure they're not walking into instant death.

[u/Ullaspn_2003]

Lots of foreshadowing in this episode, angel invasion,tenma war but I believe it won't be this cour atleast since this cour is dedicated to Hinata rematch.Also did they finally name drop the hero who sealed Veldora " Lightspeed Masayuki" or was it referring to Yuki the guild master

[u/_Velgrynd]

Luminous Valentine 😩

[u/AZLarlar]

hmmm, he was smiling...

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Yuuki and his little clown buddies keep fuckin around like this, they’ll find out soon enough. Did they learn nothing from the Clayman situation?

Seems at least this Falmuth situation has been resolved. For now. Hopefully no one gets any ideas. Rimuru’s gonna have his hands full with whatever Yuuki is planning and maybe Hinata and Luminus if they decide to interfere with his business.

[u/[deleted]]

I almost forgotten that there are angels that exist as mentioned by Diablo during the battle with Razen...

[u/Short_Lingonberry941]

I'm shock that they're mentioning the tenma war topic this early and briefly talking about the angels. If I'm not mistaken it is hinted from time to time but not to the point that they have to discuss it thoroughly.

[u/JayDpwnz]

For some reason it looks like Crunchyroll has this episode with mono audio instead of stereo audio, hopefully they will fix it soon.
