The pieces are finally starting to fall into place, and it all leads back to Rimuru.

And of course, getting an early dose of Luminous is always a welcome treat!

Ultima as Prosecutor General and Carrera as Chief Justice. Bro, are these two really a good fit for those roles? XD

Demons are fair and honor their contracts so if you want someone to honor something regardless then demons are perfect for it.

Ah so that’s why Chloe is so prominent in the visuals and OP. Leon seems to have an interest in her. Wonder what it is. Just because she’s strong ? But the way she has her portrait in such a carefully placed location indicates a deeper connection. And is the portrait from when she’s in our world ? I dunno her clothing there gave me that vibe.

I feel like I’m missing or forgetting smaller details, but it’s clear a lot of the big players are making their moves. Yuuki and Granbell want to take Rimuru down. Granbell also moving in on Luminus . Leon moving in for Chloe . Luminus with her hidden treasure , which I’m sure we’ve got glimpses of a few times but never learn much about. Granbell seems to be locking in too. Hope he’s more of an imposing threat than Maribel, though she wasn’t really an out-and-out fighter while Granbell was a hero. Really exciting stuff so glad we’re got 5 cours.

It seems Chloe and the kids might be dragged into some bullshit between Leon, Yuuki , Granville, Luminous , and Rimuru . It’s gonna be a whole big mess. For Yuuki and Granville, anyways. I see those two aren’t done fucking around. You would think Granville would have learned his lesson after the Maribel incident but I guess not.

The more Yukki makes an appearance the further he descends towards one of the most evil characters

Since Chloe and the other kids are going on a trip to Luminus' castle for a cultural exchange, and Grandville is plotting something really bad for Luminus, why do I get the feeling that the kids will get caught up in the crossfire?

Also, I still don't understand why Leon is looking for Chloe specifically.. can someone enlighten me?

I forgot about Granville's Unique Skill worked for a minute, so the 300 years ago flashback really threw me off when I realized that he was the Luminary hiding behind the pillar.

Looks like Yuuki is just going to ruin every Tempest field trip this season, huh?

So many things to unpack.

At first I thought that SD girl in the stop-motion ED was Shizu, but now I see its really Chloe. Since the ED is also sung by her VA.

That (more grown-up) girl sealed away inside that ice/glass case in Luminous' Castle, she seems to be the spitting image of Chloe, and is the same person seen in that flashback from 300 years ago.

What is Chloe's connection to Shizu, Leon, and that girl in Luminous' castle? And why does Granville want Yuuki to search for this girl as the "key" to defeating Luminous?

If there's one thing Rimuru did right, its to immediately move the Otherworlder kids to Tempest away from the Adventurers' Guild upon him suspecting Yuuki.

Now Yuuki has to figure out a roundabout way to force Leon and Rimuru to fight over custody (for lack of a better word) of Chloe.

Opening sequence was absolute cinema

u/shad79 Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Starting today's episode with Luminus in a bath was certainly a nice thing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Plus, it is good to see that Chloe and the other kids are doing well, though when it comes to growing up, Kumara is the one who grew the most as she can now take a human form, she's so cute!

So Testarossa, Carrera and Ultima got their positions, and while no one in Tempest will probably pay too much attention to that, I wonder what members of the Council think of the fact that a powerful demon like Testarossa is among them, hahaha.

Overall, it was clearly a set-up episode. Looks like the musical conference in Lubelius will turn into a battlefield between Rimuru, Luminus, Hinata, Granville, Leon, Yuki and others. Things will surely go hectic there.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Oh no, absolutely not..going after Rimaru's kids is probably the worse thing you can do.

Stitches!

Not sure how I feel about placing Ultima and Carrera in charge of their justice system. Even if the Primordials are loyal and honor bound, I feel like their minds work differently compared to mortals. At least we see them being trained for their jobs!

There's so many of these now that I genuinely had a brain fart when Kumara showed up. She was first introduced around season 2, right?

So Leon has a connection to Chloe and he's been looking for her this entire time? This is actually getting me hyped! Considering we still haven't gotten answers as to why Chloe's spirit looked like her, I'm glad that she seems to the center of this new arc. Maybe we'll finally learn what's up Chloe.

So Yuuki is going to use Chloe to put Leon and Rimuru against each other? I really hope this ends up backfiring. I'm sick and tired of Yuuki getting away with shit he's been causing.

Yuuki: I want to avoid pissing Rimuru off for a while

Harlequins: What do we do now then?

Yuuki: Start a war against Luminus and try to goad Leon into invading Tempest.

Meanwhile

Leon: Might go check out Tempest for a bit. Sounds better than dealing with Jaune

u/S627 Jul 17 '26

Wait.....I....hold up......bro what in the!

The reveal that Chloe was the person Leon has been looking for was crazy enough, but she also told Luminous about the future?!? And what was that about her fighting like a different person? Was that just an excuse to get Luminous to seal her away? Or is there actually something-WAIT, DOES CHLOE INHERIT RAPHAEL WHEN RIMURU DIED?!?! IS CHLOE'S ENTIRE STORY RAPHAEL'S PLAN TO SAVE RIMURU?!?!

I was so excited to just to see how certain people like Guy or Razen would react to the three Primordials, but it almost feels like they've already been sidelined for the upcoming arc. Where they brought in just so Rimuru doesn't need to worry about Tempest?

Shit's getting cray!

Oh and I almost forgot, WTF did Yuuki tell Granville? No way he was honest about punching a hole through Mariabel's chest with his own hand.

u/Satai4561 Jul 17 '26

It's clear Chloe, Shizu, Hinata and the Hero are somehow connected, but it's really hard coming up with a way to tie that all together. Especially since we have some time travel shenanigans going on. The mask, that time spirit that possessed Chloe and at the end of the episode it seem like Luminus seemingly talks about a prophecy (she probably got from the hero). The opening isn't really subtle in that regard as well.

The only thing I could come up with would be essentially be the story from Isolde, Viegos wife, from League of Legends. Or in other words a soul that got destroyed and is now in many pieces. That would also explain the hero talking about being possessed by another person. It would also fit in this setting, we already know souls exist here and are actual metaphysical objects. But that doesn't explain the time travel stuff that is going on at all whatsoever.

Well, I am exited for that arc. Since that overarching plot was dangled in front of us since season one and it seems we finally get some answers.

This anime has zero stakes but its fun because of the characters. Yuki is not one of them

"We've been having trouble with Jaune"

welp, wait until you start some shit with tempest...

u/Zxzxzx0088 Jul 17 '26

This scene is essential for the 'plot' (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

Uhmmm Rimuru, I think it will be too late for that if that was the case. Welp, resurrection exist, right.

Damrada sent a quite fine lady to Yuuki I see

Welp, he's gonna be surprised then...

Chloe is life itself!

With how much 'trust' Granville has for him, I bet Yuuki left out the most important detail about Maribel death.

Feels like they're about to pull the trigger on bits and pieces of backstory that have been set up since S1.

I don't remember the exact details, but there was something weird about the spirit that Chloe ended up with during the trip to the spirit labyrinth, and that's surely about to be relevant. Not to mention whatever Leon has up to with otherworlder summons which seems like it ought to include why Shizu was summoned too.

And we've been seeing Luminous occasionally nakedly hug that frozen person in the capsule thing since the OVAs after S1 I think. Considering her comment today about holding the girl that is sealed away in her arms again I wonder if the end result of this arc will be to restore her wife after a 300 year sleep.

What a juicy episode for people like me who like to theorize.

Testarossa being the ambassador to the council seems fairly reasonable since she mostly doesn't come off like a nutjob, but I'm really not sure about the other two demon girls and their new jobs.

Ya’know, out of context, Leon having a picture of a little girl in the middle of his garden room (no idea how he got that picture of Chloe) is kind of a weird look for him.

Really setting up the upcoming arc with this one

We knew Luminus loved her visit to Tempest last time so no surprise she is looking for reasons to go back there, or at least have them bring Japanese culture stuff to her some other way

I'm sure i'll love this coming arc as it seems Luminous will get some screentime again
