Why was Satoru Mikami killed in the 1st place?

In some of the eastern countries you can't own guns, so no mass shootings, so the "revenge on society" types just use kitchen knives. E.g. it's scarily common in China as far as I know but the CCP just hides it

yep. The CCP would hide it to protect it's citizen so they don't come up with the same idea

Honest I think "Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken" was a very well written Isekai series that was told in an entertaining way. It covered a geo-political struggle in a fantasy world in the most interesting of way by entertaining the thought of the integration between monsters and humans alike. This was probably one of the 1st most unique fantasy world anime titles I ever experienced watching despite it not being a perfect master piece.

Though, there were a few aspects of this anime that are left in question. I thought to myself, unanswered questions would either be explained later on in future seasons, or eventually touched on in some OVA release. But one particular thing that was left untouched that made me always question throughout the 1st season was why Satoru Mikami (Rimuru Tempest) was killed in the 1st place.

From the very beginning of the series they just jump in with the main protagonist getting stabbed by shielding his friend from being attacked with a knife. The assailant just runs up from an actual large distance away basically shanking Satoru Mikami then quickly fleeing the scene of the crime. Like WTF happened and why? As I was binge watching the entire 1st season I thought to myself at some point just maybe they would touch on this a bit more. But it never happened. We never learn who the attacker was, or even why he was attacking them. What exactly was the motive? Are we just left to believe it was just some random psycho who decides for no reason at all just to stab someone with a knife?

Ordinarily something like this wouldn't bother me so much but most other things in the story were very well thought out and given at least some explanation no matter how lame they might have been. So this to me really stands out. They could have at least given a 30 second fill to some back story behind Satoru Mikami's death, rather then leaving it in complete ambiguity. They spent more time on the importance of having his friend destroying his computer after he is dead. They even gave us a short 15 second cameo of watching his friend throw Satoru Mikami's computer in a bath tub filled with water while it was on.

Doesn't this unanswered question bother anyone else?

Edit: ...and we still don't even know what was on his computer and why it was so important to destroy after he was gone...

That's actually really horrifying to believe.

the CCP tend to hide these kinds of crimes. They would only show these crimes on TV if they catch the guy, but won't show if they don't get them cause it would make them look bad
