I actually love the fact that Rimuru is OP. Mainly because he is actually working to improve and create new powers that were passed down/absorbed to him. That Black Flame was sick.

Ogre arc boys. Shion!!!

I was laughing when Rimuru looked at her chest and was like "Wow they're huge!" lol.

Rimuru said:
My son didn't make it!

ROTFLMAO

...and the rest of the party shows up!!!

Those are ogres? Hmmm, I guess the pigs were the Orcs this time, most likely led by the one in the preview last episode.

He showed off most of his powers but I wish we saw what his current max powers can totally do to them... then I think he might kill 'em before they become his party members. LOL The old geezer sounds like Jiraiya in Naruto...checking MAL characters confirms it is him! I'm gonna shit myself if they add Norio too but I'm wishful thinking again.

No names eh? He's gonna certainly name them all again then have a time skip sleeping it off. Lovable and pacifist but predictable slime we have here!

You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

So Rirumu is androgynous, but even so he can replicate a male or female body.
Rirumu tests the capacity of his new human form, although he is a bit disappointed to know that he lost his member.
The Goblins prepare a feast for Master Rirumu since he will eat with them, but the hunt is interrupted by a small group of Ogres, who attack the group of Rigurd and Gobuta. The Ogres looked great, but apparently that is not their final form since none of them has a name. The Ogre girls also look spectacular, the big breasted girl caught Rirumu's attention, the ogre princess looks very adorable and I love the design of her eyes.
Rirumu uses all his abilities to knock out all the Ogres, but in the end the leader and the old man turn out to be very capable rivals, so Rirumu must show his bestial power to intimidate them and make them surrender, but it is the Ogre princess who stops everything and finally the leader of the Ogres apologizes to Rirumu and he in a sign of peace, invites them to eat.
I already want the next episode to come, The Lord Orc will make his introduction and maybe ...

Rimuru showcasing his strength was very impressive. This was very well done, but Shion doesn't talk. I can't for what's next.

Gobuta is one funny Goblin, it is nice to see him do those theatrics.

Great episode as always,

Ooooo, they didn't skip body check, I appreciate that, Eight Bit. So, Rimuru itself can is neither male or female. It's a chance for you guys, you can made him either your husbando or your waifu xD

Ogre Arc, yeeey ! One of my favourite along following the manga. They just introduce them in this episode, so I can't talk much here.

Let's say that Rimuru looks like your ordinary OP isekai MC, except he's mature enough to considered using his skill. That's what I love about this anime than other Isekai with OP MC.

Hmm, next episode title is not from chapter title in manga.

Let's start my spoiler section

RIMURU IS SEXLESS! But because Rimuru was originally a "he", I shall refer to him as such.

Rimuru throws potions at the wounded like water balloons!

Ultraspeed Regeneration. Just like Wolverine lol.

So in this world, Ogres look like horned-demon humaniods, while Orcs are the bigger race this time.

I like how Rimuru always aims for the non-violent solution. But I guess there will be a time when someone will force him to use more power then necessary.

And with the introduction of the Ogres, we now have Rimuru's team complete as seen in the ending animation. So next episode is when Rimuru names them and learn about the masked raiders that attacked the Ogres' village.

These last couple episodes have dropped my score for this anime fairly substantially. There are just too many issues that are turning this unique twist on an overly-saturated genre, into just another generic isekai anime.

Put simply, overall they are relying on things that simplify the writing process too much and lend to an easy but uninteresting narrative. First of all, last episode they killed off the only interesting character so far; she was the only one with a compelling backstory and drive directing her behaviors and actions. Along with that, killing her off killed all hope for a potential love interest. This is so typical in these types of anime where they find some dumb excuse for the MC to not have to pursue any of the interests because it takes more work to write an interesting love story in this type of anime without it feeling overbearing and turn into a romance anime which isn't its focus. So instead of finding that balance, they killed the main love interest off and made the MC some emasculated, sexless, queer femboi. It's just a bad excuse that results in bad writing.

They also haven't even left the village yet, the dragon is still gone, and nothing interesting is happening with the humans who are clearly wary of what's going on with the monsters. I still have hope for the potential story with the humans, but there was a lot of other potential here that gets killed off more and more after every episode, reducing its overall potential plot points that could have made it a truly entertaining and compelling isekai anime, but will likely instead turn into another generic, repetitive, and monotonous story.

There was never going to be romance for th e MC anyway.

why should they have the village they are still building it. And it's not like they can just go walking into a human city and say hi.

The forest is very big. And most of the time trouble will find him and not him finding trouble.

The humans will get more involved more later on

A new arc starts and Rimuru Tempest does not stop surprising. He is so OP but his real power lies in his ability to make peace through words instead of by force.

Really? If he wasn't OP he would be dead, words wouldn't help him. He did indeed try to use words but enemy just ignored everything he said and tried to kill him without any reason. Literally, old dude tried to cut his head off while he was saying "Wait! You got it wrong!" If he wasn't OP, it would be his last words. Then he demonstrated that he could crush ogres like bugs and they suddenly become reasonable. Note, it did not happen because of something he said but because he tried (successfully) to scare them by magic demonstration. Didn't he, like, use force here, just a little?

Ogres' logic is adorable - "he could easily destroy our village but didn't, there fore he is innocent". So, if he wasn't strong enough, he would be guilty and dead! Awesome. Bunch of cowardly murderers. And their initial attack on goblins is just as pointless, they had problems with orks.

I enjoy the series overall but "his real power lies in his ability to make peace through words instead of by force" looks like a huge stretch to me. OP solves all his problems, he is slime in the name only.

Well thats the logic of the nature, veldora said it himself in this world it's all you can eat buffet. The weak will be eaten and they can't complain about it, power is justice after all this is not earth.

Not a very accurate description. Scenes like those disappear as time passes. At most they are hooks to get people to give the series a shot, but the ones who got hooked usually keep reading/watching for different reasons.

We are talking about a series which has a LN that easily sells 50.000+ copies per volume in the first two weeks (pretty much lower-top tier) and the the manga version even reaches 300.000+ copies per volume in the first three weeks, which rivals even mid-tier Weekly Jump and Weekly Magazine series sales. In the LN version, fanservice is actually pretty much non-existent and the manga does have a bit of it early on, but reduces it as the story moves along, until it pretty much disappears completely when looking at most recent 5 or so chapters.

It's not true. At least in manga, it turns fan-servicy each time main character interacts with his female companions...

It doesn't do that all the time, because, as I said, named male to named female character ratio is still roughly 1:1, and this not technically a harem, but does that each time it have opportunity.

Sales prove nothing except the fact this is popular. I didn't say it shouldn't be popular, by the way even some dedicated harem and ecchi shows achieved this kind of sales.

Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world.

Pretty awesome episode. Got some mechanics on how his black abilities are different than other magic in this world. Still interesting the elder ogre could bylass his magic sense.

Our main talks his way into peace. That gender check scene was hilarious as well. show keeps getting better and better.

I have yet to see any isekai that focuses as much on politics, world building wrt species relations and a calm mc who makes the most rational decisions like the adult he is... the politics I'm referring to will be adapted later into the anime, wait for it and give it some time...

This world is one of survival of the fittest, the ogres were compelled by law of nature there to attack any threats, including the goblins riders, which is not common in that world, and Rimuru, who resembled a certain someone with a similar mask. As for that logic, it made sense there, when Rimuru had shown he had nothing to gain from attacking them with orcs and at the same time refraining from doing any serious damage

No, "survival of the fittest" is a part of natural selection in evolutionary theory, it only works for wild animals. Any person who literally lives according to this "law" is a psychopathic murderer.

and Rimuru, who resembled a certain someone with a similar mask.

Is remote resemblance to someone is sufficient justification for murder? I don't think so. They didn't try to establish his guilt at all, they didn't even listen to him. And they attacked goblins without provocation. Did they also resemble someone?

As for that logic, it made sense there, when Rimuru had shown he had nothing to gain from attacking them with orcs and at the same time refraining from doing any serious damage

He didn't show it though, he just shown that they can not harm him and that he can effortlessly kill them any time. By the moment they "refrained from doing serious damage" they tried to decapitate and burn him. If this is reasonable legal process to establish his innocence, you should take into account that pretty much no one else would survive it. It kinda reminds witch trials - "throw witch into the lake, if she sunk, she was innocent, if she floats she is guilty."

I didn't read the LNs but the next "logical" steps are - he names them, they "evolve", he showers them with gifts, they become his "friends". Because this is just what you do with crazy people who try to murder you and your "friends" without any reason. It just makes sense.

I will not argue about this further. If you think ogres and their interactions with local deity are reasonable, we arrived to "agree to disagree" territory already. Have a nice day.

My man, I never said he won because he spoke, or because he is charismatic (which he is). Yes, he is OP, there's no denying it, I even said it myself, but he only used his strengths on self defense and to warm the enemy. The story goes more about how he goes around making peace with as many races he can while still being powerful AF but only using it against enemies he can't dialogue with.

I, in any moment, denied his usage of his tremendous power, that in fact, helped him survive the fight till they were willing to listen.

Monsters don't have laws. They have fight to survive . Including when it comes to humans if they don't attack humans then they will attack them.

Edit: it depends it's obvious each race would have there own laws but the laws don't effect other races. Mainly all the monsters dont follow one set of laws

Is remote resemblance to someone is sufficient justification for murder? I don't think so. They didn't try to establish his guilt at all, they didn't even listen to him. And they attacked goblins without provocation. Did they also resemble someone?

They could assume that the one that had attacked them had more followers then just orcs.

They even asked /demanded rimuru to reavel his true form thinking that the one that attacked them was disguising themselves as that said person is the only one with a mask they know off.

You did say "his real power lies in his ability to make peace through words instead of by force" and this is just not what happened in this episode. His words had absolutely no effect on his bloodthirsty unreasonable enemy, he could just as well be mute. The problem was resolved by him being OP and nothing else. He could be the best negotiator in the word, without overwhelming force he would be dead.

The story goes more about how he goes around making peace with as many races he can while still being powerful AF but only using it against enemies he can't dialogue with.

It is easy to be benevolent if enemy is weak and can't even scratch you. You are attacked by psychopathic murderers, you show them they are at your mercy, give them power, weapons, shelter and protection and they become your faithful servants, still being psychopathic murderers. It doesn't involve any diplomacy, it is just stick and carrot which only possible because MC is OP.

So far the story goes as usual isekai with OP MC on power trip - anyone opposed to him surrender or die, his servants are richly rewarded. If there is enough force words are necessary.

I, in any moment, denied his usage of his tremendous power, that in fact, helped him survive the fight till they were willing to listen.

Again, you said "real power ... ability to make peace through words". By the moment they were "willing to listen" if was clear that they can't harm him regardless of their efforts and he can crush them like cockroaches. All they had to say at that point was "sorry that we are retarded murderers, Master, we will behave", there was nothing to talk about but the terms of their surrender. It was not achieved by words, just good old brute force and intimidation.

They may be named, but their still lower to mid tier monsters. Ogres are damn near the Apex of the forest. The reason monsters don't have names is better explained in the LN. For powerful monsters, having a child drains a big chunk of your mana and sometimes so much that you can't recover to the point where your new max is like 75% to maybe 80% of your previous. Naming will knock that down to 50 or even less if it doesn't just straight up drain you and kill you.

As usual, I fucking loved every second of it and it feels like a 5-minute show. I'm enjoying everything about it. I had a huge dumb smile on my face the entire time. It's a feelgood series. I keep reiterating that but it's true. I love how noble and kindhearted Rimuru is and doesn't use his powers to abuse or enslave others. Plus him being excited to taste food again is adorable.

I'm loving the new set of characters, the ogres. I'm sure they'll have new names too and then power up! I want to learn more about them! :)

I have a weird feeling that there will be an argument in the future regarding the duration of Rimuru being in human form being too long. But that shall only be worried in the future episodes xd

This episode was refreshing, with some new gags coming in about Rimuru being disappointed that he has no peepee. Furthermore, the animation and sound effects were well executed during the battle, with the black fire catching my eye for how majestic it was.

You did say "his real power lies in his ability to make peace through words instead of by force" and this is just not what happened in this episode. His words had absolutely no effect on his bloodthirsty unreasonable enemy, he could just as well be mute. The problem was resolved by him being OP and nothing else. He could be the best negotiator in the word, without overwhelming force he would be dead.

It is easy to be benevolent if enemy is weak and can't even scratch you. You are attacked by psychopathic murderers, you show them they are at your mercy, give them power, weapons, shelter and protection and they become your faithful servants, still being psychopathic murderers. It doesn't involve any diplomacy, it is just stick and carrot which only possible because MC is OP.

So far the story goes as usual isekai with OP MC on power trip - anyone opposed to him surrender or die, his servants are richly rewarded. If there is enough force words are necessary.

Again, you said "real power ... ability to make peace through words". By the moment they were "willing to listen" if was clear that they can't harm him regardless of their efforts and he can crush them like cockroaches. All they had to say at that point was "sorry that we are retarded murderers, Master, we will behave", there was nothing to talk about but the terms of their surrender. It was not achieved by words, just good old brute force and intimidation.

even so we can say for sure that if the princess didnt stopped them that hot headed leader and the old man would keep fighting and end up dead once rimuru would trow this big flame

He wouldn't have thrown it . He was planning to scare them with it so they clam and backdown it backfired

So, on top of being psychopatic murderers they are also dumb. Awesome. Their death would achieve nothing. It wouldn't be "honorable" or anything, just plain stupid. They attacked random innocent guy and got squashed. It would be better result really, karmic retribution.

They wouldn't die though. "Big flame" was intimidation tactic, not an actual attack. Rimuru would incapacitate them like he did with few others by that moment and they would eventually surrender. Worst case scenario, they would need his "best in business" healing potions.
