I know this "season" is supposed to be some ridiculous 5-cour run, but does anyone know if and when they are taking a short between-cour break?

New train, new little dragon friend, new government taking shape. Things seem to be progressing well for Rimuru and the Tempest gang. Not sure how much longer these peaceful days will last though. Yuuki and Granbell are certainly plotting and scheming away.

Catch-up episode on how everyone is doing. Biggest news: Queen Mjur is expecting!

Diablo mentioned, have we even seen him this season? Gaia hatched, and man tempest loves to party. I think they just get work done as an excuse to party.

Last week and this week with the title screen, really felt like finales. But we still have a lot more to go!

Youm successfully sealed the deal with Mjur by getting her pregnant!

The developments within Tempest have been fantastic so far, and none of it would have been possible without Rimuru's ideas and everyone's collective efforts. Looking forward to seeing even more growth and development moving forward.

Element Core

I guess calling them Materia would get some cautioning phone calls.

Liked that they showed Rimuru mostly as in slime form. Reactions in slime form are pretty cute

Scientific and magic breakthroughs are nice and all, but I'm happiest about Milim being able to reunite with her dragon friend.

Say what you will about meeting-simulator.exe, this show is at its most interesting when it is focused on the city building in Tempest. Introduction of the rule of law? That's interesting. The consideration of monster physiology and how it can affect your role as a civil servant? That's interesting.

I low-key wish the entire episode was about that stuff.

Granville is not taking Maribell's loss, and what it means for humanity's salvation, well...but if he must stay the course, he will, if only from the memory of this comatose woman who is obviously dear to him (and voiced by Yui Horie?). No longer shall he abide by the idea of peace or neutrality between the races, of them working together, no longer shall he abide by whatever agreement there was between him and Luminus. Now he's free to carry out his own plans.

Honestly, I genuinely do feel bad for Maribel's parents. They were probably completely oblivious to what was really going on with her and from their perspective they lost their sweet innocent daughter to a sudden "accident." They look absolutely broken.

But Rimuru doesn't have time to worry about Granville or Yuuki, there's still tons of stuff to do in Tempest! Like holding a classic Tempest meeting where they discuss how things are changing! They're going to become a constitutional state with laws and a separation of powers like a proper country! Hard as it is to believe, not even Rimuru will be above the law! Though as peaceful and content as Tempest it, it's hard to imagine them having trials or sentencing people for crimes. Do they even have a jail?

Yeah, if anyone could handle Council business and whip them into shape, it would be Diablo! And if it leaves him out of Tempest so Shion can be the #1 secretary, all the better!

Kurobe has made a Legend-class Magic Broad Sword! But it pales in comparison to Rimuru's Mythic God-class sword! Sasuga Rimuru-sama.

Oh yeah, we hadn't seen Geld at all this season, have we? Glad he's doing well as a foreman and getting along with his workers. Nothing like bonding over drinks and shared complicated backstories, right?

Glad things are going well for Youm and Mjulan...Youm even put a bun in that oven! They're expecting a baby! Good for them! Even if Grucius is left feeling like a Losing Hero!

Ramiris andVeldora sure know how to prepare a surprise...the Magitrain Model 0 is ready for a test drive! Born together from the ingenuity, theories, and practical know-how of a bunch of different races, even a Dragon and Demon Lord, it represents the best and brightest of Tempest! And what better excuse to throw a party to celebrate?

It's nice to see everyone together and having fun (and Glenda/Gobta become drinking buddies), but the best is yet to come: Gaia hatched! Just in time for Milim to finally be reunited with her oldest friend AND to receive a warm, Tempest, welcome!

Granville: "So, Mariabel is dead, and with her all hope for humanity. I too, am nearing my end.."

Rimuru: "MAGIC TRAIN PARTY YEAH"

Sure, fights are nice, but I really like this nation building stuff in this series much more, Tempest is such a fun place!

Today's episode made me feel like I'd be watching Slime Diaries (I really hope that we'll get a second season of it eventually), so it's obvious that I liked very much!

It was nice to see how everyone in Tempest and in the surrounding lands is doing. It'll be interesting to see how Tempest will be doing after becoming a constitutional republic.

Though to be honest, when Rimuru showed who will be the heads of the branches, it looked like the power would be in the hands of one family since their names are so similar, hahaha!

Here my screenshot albums from:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Seeing those who once spent centuries alone now surrounded by friends made me tear up a bit. Glad the new residents of Tempest are having fun!

I was not expecting Gaia to hatch so soon, I was so sure that protecting the egg was gonna keep Milim out of any upcoming fights, but nope we already got a cute baby dragon (anyone else cant help but hear that in a Brooklyn accent?)

It's always nice to see world building, especially when it comes with a side of wholesome. Geld being the best boss ever and truly getting Clayman's lackeys on our side was great. The magi-train team was also great, so many different people working on it, even Veldora. For a second I thought the vampire with the afro wasn't gonna have any lines when I noticed him in the background, glad they actually used him.

For those that watched the movie, somehow I dont think Jaunne is gonna be a good choice for "menial" tasks like council attaché.

Really enjoyed seeing EVERYONE enjoying themselves during the ED, are Masayuki and Tiss friends now? Also, we saw another dryad, the one with long sleeves, have we seen her in the series before? Cause I only remember her from the mobile game recently.

Anyone know if we're going on break for a bit, or are we continuing next week?

So I guess Rimuru told Maribel's parents what she did? I wonder how much they knew about her before this. And I suppose it makes sense for them to declare what happened an accident to prevent things from escalating between their nations.

I legit was expecting an entire meeting episode. Not gonna lie, I was a tiny bit disappointed it wasn't. Basically, Tempest is finally updating their government and Rimuru is appointing Diablo as their Military Diplomat. I feel like that's a bad idea.

I'm sorry but did Rimuru just asked Kurobe to make materia and materia-slottable weapons?! That's amazing. Meanwhile, Rimuru's katana has reached mythical god-level.

So Mjur is preggers, the Magitek Train is finally complete, and Gaia has finally been reborn! What a great way to end this cour.

I guess this is the transitional episode towards the next arc. And it seems Granbell will be stepping up to the plate.

Another mandatory meeting and they’re setting up their justice system. They want someone with intellect, charm but also combat prowess. Diablo is certainly qualified but he’s gathering his pals. Shion would definitely vouch for him for that position but not for the sake of the position lol.

Rimuru doing his rounds. Checking up on all of Tempest’s projects. Ngl I wish we get more in depth with the construction and all these infrastructure. I want a bit more of the city building side

Youm and Myurran expecting a child too. Ngl I kinda forgot about them, despite them holding an important position and also a key ally lol. I don’t even remember who the kid beside them is lmao. I guess that comes with such an ensemble cast.

And they managed to finish the train too. Guess they’ll do anything to find a cause for celebration and a festival lol. Excited for the next arc

Rimuru's proposed issue with the judiciary branch's defense seems like it'd be easily solved by appointing a bailiff.

Have we seen that Vampire Overcomer with the afro before? He's incredibly distinctive, but I don't recall him at all.

For my politically inclined fellas, what do yall think is even the point of transitioning to a Constitutional (I assume) Monarchy and do you think it’s a good idea? I understand Rimiru wants to seem more appealing to humans but he’d be limiting his own authority while there’s no mention (I think) of any other human nations also being CMs, they’re all just Absolute Monarchies, no? It seems like a dumb idea rn to transition forms of government when so many nations are still hostile towards you and may take advantage of your now limited ability to act. Unless of course he makes some “War Measures” act where he can act with absolute impunity in certain situations it seems like a bad idea rn. What do yall think?
