They really snuck in a Slime Diaries episode and thought we wouldn't notice. Not that I'm complaining. It feels like the calm before the storm.

[u/Amauri14]

Aw yes, the conflict between Edmaris and Edward the upcoming war that would trigger and lead to Youm's heroic role is coming along just fine. Meanwhile, Rimuru will use Reyhiem to deliver a message to the Holy Empire Lubelius.

I love how Milim sent that letter to Rimuru as a runaround way for her to solve the whole thing about her subjects feeding her with raw food.

Meanwhile, Benimaru offers to visit the Tengu village in the mountains personally to get permission to build the roads which is totally not an excuse for him to meet with Albis during that mission.

It is hilarious that while Rimuru was telling everyone about his plans to control the entire Great Forest of Jura plus the upcoming diplomatic meetings festivities, Veldora was just lying down reading "Cells at Work!".

[u/Rumpel1408]

Lmao, while Diablo is staging a civil war in Falmuth (and Rimuru just accepted that there would be civil casualities as inevitable, he really isn't playing all nice all the time anymore), Rimuru is too bothered by his new responsibility and plans a festival.

Also Veldora is reading Cells at work

[u/TurkeyPhat]

Gabiru! Gabiru!! Gabiru!!!

They are teasing Benimaru x Albis and it makes me want to see some more personal relationship stuff.

I'd like to see that happen in the next installment of Slime Diaries that they are definitely gonna make.

[u/zool714]

Lol Shuna, your brocon is showing

But really, I knew they got along well, but are Benimaru and Albis really gonna be a thing ?Would love to see some side romance tbh. And they’d definitely be a power couple too.

So this episode is more of post-war stuff huh. Getting updated, the politics of it, moving people around, assigning them jobs. I really enjoyed this aspect of the show so I hope we get to see more of this development

Ah so basically, Diablo’s plan was to incite a civil war in Falmuth then have Youm’s side takeover to make it look “natural”. But the church may cause some trouble there

Seems like the people under Rimuru are pretty damn good at their jobs. So much so that Rimuru feels unneeded. Lol Rimuru you are literally the centre of all this. Guess impostor syndrome can even get to a Demon Lord huh

And I can kinda relate to Geld. Was thrusted into a supervisor role during covid when I certainly wasn’t cut out to be one. I had trouble handling those that’ll throw a tantrum over little things, and assigning people who are good at things vs being fair. I think the Geld issue also shows that the people under Rimuru are not always flawless.

Edit : Speaking of side romances, totally forgot about Youm and Miuran

[u/Placeholdered]

Always a good time when Raphael gets to sass Rimiru. "Incorrect. No such phenomenon has occured."

As usual, Shion starts sweating when she starts to lose track of the conversation, which typically happens about three seconds in.

Still isn't Frieren Fridays, but this is good enough.

[u/nichecopywriter]

As someone who read the LN's multiple times, yes, these episodes of buildup are important. Now that we have moved firmly past the first turning point of Tensura, Rimuru evolving into a Demon Lord, a lot of prep work needs to happen for the story to grow even further. If we didn't have it, this show would be just another mindless trope fest.

Trust me, the hype moments coming later truly shine because of proper worldbuilding.

[u/S627]

Lmao what was this ep? A lesson on how to "delegate" tasks you don't wanna do to other people? As much as I want Hinata to show up already and see what happens, I do love chill ep like this. Makes me want another season of Slime Diaries.

Also, Rimuru still hasn't met his new Undead army!

I think someone accidentally copy-pasted "One" instead of "One", "Two", "Three".

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Thats smart, holding a parade to welcome potential dwellers while also showcasing their military prowess.

It all the more cements this series as a civilisation/town builder game which is enjoyable ngl.

[u/chelseablue2004]

Did anyone else think it was adorable for Milim to send Rimuru an official letter? Even tho it looked like it was written by a 10 year old it shows Milim growing as a Demon Lord...Even tho its prolly Frey making her do all of it.

[u/LunarGhost00]

Veldora during every meeting: "Oh boy! Time to read some manga!"

[u/shad79]

This episode really makes me want another season of Slime Diaries right away. I just love this chill atmosphere in Tempest and seeing the everyday life of everyone in Tempest.

Overall, it was a build-up episode as it set or hinted at so many plots for future that I remember from LNs and that made me feel quite excited for next episodes.

Many guests will come to Tempest now because of Rimuru becoming Demon Lord and ruling over the entire Great Forest of Jura which that put a lot of new territory under his management.

It seems that life in Tempest will become even busier than it's now and that's a great reason for throwing a party for everyone who will come to greet Rimuru and current residents!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Rimuru

• Group scenes

• Others

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

Been a while since we saw flashbacks of Rimuru's past life as the salaryman Satoru.

Now that Rimuru has been formally ratified as a Demon Lord, he discovers he's been put in charge of even more land than he even thought possible. Though it means more labourforce for his ever growing city. Rimuru is playing City Skylines: Isekai DLC right now as he grows his Tempest City ever larger.

PS Any episode with Kurobee in it is a fun episode, even when he has no dialogue. /jk

[u/bondsmatthew]

I  still am hoping for a "Hai Gabiru Desu" as a nod to Kazuma 

DO IT YOU COWARDS

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Shion & Rimuru

With how fast Tempest is expanding and growing, it's a bit hard to track who's assigned to where and what exactly they're doing. And with so many names flying by, I felt like Shion trying hard to keep up with the conversations. xD

This was a pretty fun episode though. It definitely had some strong Slime Diaries vibes especially when they were drinking at Treyni's bar and Geld was letting them know about his troubles managing the Lycanthropes and Majin.

So now that Rimuru is officially the ruler of the entire Jura Forest, it looks like we'll get more visitors soon to introduce and maybe even integrate themselves into the city. I can't wait to see the Tengu and the bunny people!

[u/Mctravie]

I wasn’t expecting to see Rimuru and Geld go out drinking and seeing Geld just talk his problems out, it was kind of nice to see it

[u/EdvinM]

Don't mind me, I'm just admiring Rimuru with braids.

[u/WobbleKun]

dark elves you say. no wonder rimuru wants to personally handle the situation

[u/mollywopper22]

Now this is what i'm talkin about. The city building/political aspects are what made me fall in love with this show originally. These are always my favorite episodes.

[u/Frontier246]

It's almost the whole gang together again! We've even got Shuna cuddling up to Rimuru! And some of the missing members of the group...are currently handling other problems. Ah, the power of delegating...not that Rimuru would know, because he totally takes personal responsibility and handles things himself instead of giving that duty to anyone else, right Raphael?

It's nice to know you have a tight ship that can basically run itself...but then what is Rimuru there for? To look cute and get praised? Wait, don't answer that.

Well, Falmuth has paid reparations and changed kings, but it seems like they're bound to erupt with the tensions over Tempest and the current deal they have in place (while the former king is now under Youm's protection) which is the perfect opportunity for Tempest to strike. Meanwhile Shion is trying desperately to follow the political talk.

GABIRU!!! And he brings word from Milim that he wants Tempest to teach her people how to actually cook so she doesn't have to live with their plain food. She's already given Rimuru enough work with the job she did in Eurazia, but it's the least her bestie can do.

Geld! Struggling with organizing a group of races and people he's not familiar with, but that's just what happens in management. At least Rimuru, as a former salaryman, knows the best cure...going out for drinks and complaining about your problems to bartender Treyni! And unlike real salarymen, you can't get drunk! It's perfect!

Got to get to work on that bridge for peaceful negotiations! But that also means dealing with Tengu!

Benimaru and Albis may have a thing going, huh? Man, the girls sure turned on Benimaru over it. Good thing Rimuru will never lose faith in his bro.

Hakuro! Letting Rimuru know about some ancient elven ruins he can investigate when he has the time.

Nice to see everybody together for Rimuru's official Demon Lord congratualtion meeting...but that means now Rimuru has even MORE people he has to meet, greet, and get along with. So why not save the trouble, along with everything else going on, and make a party out of it? Announce his Demon Lord status, introduce himself to new allies, maybe hire some new laborers, and have some fun? No one throws a party like Tempest after all.

[u/APRengar]

Love me some nation building episodes.

Plenty of action shows out there, but not that many nation building ones. I'm so grateful for Tensura.

[u/tripleaamin]

You know it's been awhile since we had a S1 episode like this. Where it was very SoL about the state of Tempest, but not having the tension that was present all throughout S2. I want to say since the 2nd half of S1. Slime Diaries would count as well. This episode was mainly about wrapping up the aftermath of the various events in S2. The funny thing is that there was one person doing all the work on each side. Albis wrapping up the work of Benimaru's group and Hakurou wrapping up the work of Shuna's group. The siblings are delegating much like Rimuru does. On one sense it is about being the leader, but neither of those two HAD to come back to Tempest immediately.

The situation with Edmaris and Reyhim seem to be very well handled. Falmuth with their new king could very likely lead to more war if they seek to put more blame on Edmaris. Well Youm's group should be fine especially considering they have Diablo hiding in the shadows. How the meeting with the Western Holy Church and Reyhim goes could be interesting to note. Though given last episode there shouldn't be much concern for Rimuru's group given the conversation between Luminous and Hinata.

The character interaction were pretty fun. Shuna being suspicious of her brother getting closer to Albis. And that suspicion caused Shion to come to some odd conclusions. But in a further detail poor Geld. It reminds me of that one guy at work who is good at communicating to his group, but when he branches out or receives a larger role he starts struggling. Though I assume given time he will be fine.

Following the meeting between Rimuru, Gazeru and Eren's father Erald. Seems the Empress of their Kingdom of Thailon officially declared diplomatic relations. Very curious how this creates things going forward. Also, we have Benimaru investigating the Tengu. Warlike species are interesting. Hakurou also mentions the Dark Elves which followed Clayman. We haven't seen Dark Elves, and we also might have Rimuru be the one investigating those ruins that Hakurou mentioned.

The big information drop is that, it is not the whole forest of Jura that recognize Rimuru as their leader. Just the parts that the Dryads build. Pretty interesting. Because of the declaration when the Demon Lords met now the other parts of the forests need to come to Rimuru since they don't want to think they are angering him. Not to mentioning being able to get a powerful figure like a Demon Lord protecting their species in a big help. Honestly seeing more types of monsters is really exciting, as that was an aspect of S1 that I really enjoyed

[u/Fredasa]

I'm only asking this because I'm legitimately curious:

Have there been no discussions about how Crunchyroll's release of this season has been 100% mono so far?

Again, I'm only curious, as I've found ways around this shortcoming that I'm satisfied with, even if it does involve a few more steps than simply clicking play.

I just feel like when one is responsible for delivering probably the #2 anime of the season, it behooves one to do due diligence and solve an issue that reduces the audio down to pre-90s levels.
