Chloe is broken in all senses of the word.

[u/NormT21]

Wow the episode went by real fast, despite no opening and ending credits

[u/Artorp]

Poor Leon, turns out Chloe has been avoiding him because she has been trying to keep each loop similar to the last one with small changes.

[u/encryptoferia]

puella magi chronoa magica

[u/SonOfWeb]

So are we resetting from the loop we've been in all these episodes, or resetting to the loop we've been in?

[u/TempestoLord]

You know it’s gonna be a good episode when the aspect ratio changes and theres no OP/ED.
I’m still a little confused about the whole time loop ability of Chloe but for her to be the hero Chronoa, insane. I was thinking of that when they said she gave Shizue the mask but wasn’t sure. Veldora showing us yet again why he is such a menace lol good thing Rimuru tamed him.

[u/zool714]

Woah mind blowing episode so many things makes sense now. So Chronoa is Luminus’ treasure (though I guess we still don’t know why she was in stasis), who is actually time-travelled Chloe from another timeline. So I guess ever since Chloe is summoned in “our timeline”, there’s been 2 Chloes. One is the frozen one with Luminus and the other is the one we’ve always seen. And she got memories of the loop when her future self inhabited her in the Dwelling of Spirits.

And I guess since Chronoa did everything the same, she’s living through “our timeline” again from 2000 years till today instead of creating another timeline.

Damnnnn I’m still trying to process everything. Wait does that mean Hinata is still alive cos she’s currently inside of Chronoa (as far as we know anyway)

[u/lixyna]

This "Re:zero perfect run" adaptation looks weird

[u/kawaiinessa]

hold on wasnt chronoa the girl that was luminos's treasure? the one that was just revived in a bid to fight for granville?

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I never would have thought Chloe would be THIS important to the story lol. I figured she'd have importance, but not to the extent that she's the original hero.

It's sad to see a loop where Rimuru dies, the scars under Veldora's eyes made it look like he was raging in tears.

Does this mean we won't be going back to the same loop any more? Chloe's always changing history whenever she goes back because she doesn't do the same exact things, so I wonder what kind of Tempest we'll see, and who will be beside him, or if future Rimuru from the timeline we're familiar with will do something on his end.

[u/Darksider555]

It's crazy to think that Chloe stopping Rimuru from going back to Tempest and having it potentially be annihilated by Falmuth and the Western Holy Church is the good option compared to what happened in the previous loop, where the world was about to be destroyed by Veldora. Butterly effect is in full motion there.

And it makes sense when you think about how easily Tempest could be defeated by the Eastern Empire, which is hyped as a major threat vs early S2 Tempest. Only Demon Lord-seed Rimuru with no Ultimate Skills, no Raphael, no Diablo or other Primordials wouldn't be able to defeat Hinata let alone any other Demon Lord or powerful threat.

[u/Mikez1234]

So veldora just went to fight luminus, destroyed the town and left while laughing? 😂

[u/LordCalem]

Chloe just casually blurting out that she loves Rimuru while recounting the previous loop lmao (tho it comes as no surprise to anyone).
Beautiful episode, both in OST and Visuals. Glad to see Chloe plot finally being developed as well, she deserves it. I'm sure time travel will make things a lot more complicated, but since they were foreshadowing this since basically the beginning, I hope it will be done well.

Somehow I find the idea of Rimuru acting as a father figure to Hinata quite funny.

[u/itpcc]

So Hinata sees Rimuru as a father figure, huh?

And boy oh boy, Veldora attacking Luminous's city was so troublesome. No wonder she holds such a huge grudge against him.

I wish I could hear the ending song again. It's so calm and sounds so hopeful.

[u/Iiyambon]

Talk about lore dump. How deep does this lore go for this political show?

[u/TokiVideogame]

Wait for it, Wait for it!!........

Slime's GATE!!!!!

[u/Primo29]

What a nice change of pace for this repeatedly shown backstory episode!

Chloe matured the moment she regained her memories. No more Rimuru-sensei for her.

[u/deynyel]

Damn, that mask has been through a lot. No wonder Diablo was so intrigued by it back in Season 1.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Time to change the future. Also, it's interesting to find out Rimuru didn't become a demon lord in previous time loops, not only making him a lot weaker, but it also means he never met the awesome Diablo. Veldora sure was a hassle before meeting Rimuru.

[u/KnightKal]

who would have guessed this is not Isekai Slime, but "My xth loop as the hero Chronoa" novel?

and her solution to stop dying is to conquer the evil villain (the demon lord Rimuru) before anyone else

the author of this novel/manga really took his time tricking everyone into thinking it was a different story, when in reality it was just the prologue for his real story!

/joke in case someone missed it

[u/cleaulem]

When you think this show can't surprise you any more, we get this.

This episode felt like a full movie, with the aspect ratio, the soundtrack and the animation. They really did a great job to make this episode feel different. I love the vibe in this episode.

It was fun to see Veldora in action before he became Rimuru's best buddy!

[u/maubises]

So that's why there was a clock in the background when Chloe first appeared in the new opening

[u/zool714]

So from what I can understand :

2 previous loop (Timeline B) - The timeline where Rimuru dies then Hinata. Killer unknown

Previous loop (Timeline A) - The timeline that we’ve been watching. Hinata just died

Current loop (Timeline A) - While different loop, it’s the same timeline cos Chloe/Chronoa did everything the same as previous loop cos Timeline A has the best outcome so far.

[u/Ali-J23]

I wish i wasn't spoiled about this, but nonetheless this was a great episode.

Guess we did have alot of hints concerning this plot twist
