The first half of the episode was yet another meeting but the way the festival is being planned sounds interesting and something I would want to check out if I could. The second half was a bit weird with it feeling like another MC, Lightspeed Hero, joined the series and he even has his own version of Raphael with unique skill "Chosen One." While I think this new character seems ok he's also a bit naïve, and I'm skeptical of him primarily because of his relationship with Yuuki although Yuuki is most likely using him.

Can this series still do ANYTHING, but have "political meetings" that build up to an event that gets interrupted by building up something else that gets interrupted by something else again?
How the hell was slime diaries written as competently as it was with no core plot, while the main series trips over itself again and again like this

If you hate character/plot development I guess you aren’t a true fan of Tensura. Almost everything has some relevance for the story, being able to see the slow and very detailed construction of the story is what makes Tensura shine

Velgrynd finally makes her appearance in the anime, wohoo!! Don't know why the studio decided to censor her...
Kumara got introduced, but Zegion and Apito got skipped as usual.
They again cut out Rimuru getting mad at Raphael because she purposely didn't warn him. Raphael knew exactly how many magicules to give during the naming to trigger the evolution.
Masayuki, the true MC of the story finally makes his appearance! He's the real deal, a true hero, not like that weakling Hinata... And he's on his way to slay the demon lord and save the world! Rimuru and co's days are numbered!!
Based on the next eps title they're rearranging things. It's either a recap episode or filler or something from vol 11.

@Hot-Pantaloons Yet you're still here so you obviously still like the show. Don't like don't watch. Spend your time elsewhere
@Dukino it's called criticism and if I didn't like the show I wouldn't complain. Liking the previous 2 seasons, slime diaries, and a movie I feel most criticism is fitting. Don't simp for an anime, if you don't call it out when it's bad nothing will improve. Don't like criticism? Too bad.

Well, this is a first for me. Masayuki sounds so freaking boring, that he makes me want to gag and vomit. It's cliche overload...and honestly, it pisses me off how people just fawn over him solely because of his cheat skill. Having shit handed to you with no effort is no fun to watch. I had to speed up his scenes at 2x speed. The populace cheering him on mistakenly thinking he's going to Tempest to slay Demon Lord Rimuru, also pisses me off. It's all cheesy as hell.

That seems pretty clearly like that's the point to me, the fact that he's a generic isekai protag with a really cliche story. It's meant to be both satire and a bit ironic. Though, yeah, the segment was a bit long to me so I also sped it up... Overall this season's been really dragging on in quite a few episodes.

a new otherworlder character is introduced. hopefully is a better transplant than yuuki and those other guys that wrecked havoc in tempest before. but i have a feeling yuuki will end up like hinata = befriending rimuru & forming a relationship with tempest lol

Normally I like the meetings despite the howls of outrage in these forums, but this one going over the festival plans was more like someone telling you about a cool movie instead of you getting to actually watch it. Sounds great, but I just want to dive into it with as few details ahead of time as possible. Oh well, Masayuki's part of the episode was entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing if (when?) things go awry and how his luck holds up against Rimiru.

The next title sounds like a recap which I always hate in general, but this season especially doesn't really need a recap. It's not like we have a lot of irons in the fire or a complex web of plots at this point. Everything seems pretty straightforward.

It's funny they got Matsuoka Yoshitsugu (a.k.a. Modern Anime Harem King) as the voice actor for Masayuki. I doubt there would be any other seiyuu more apt to play the role of a 'generic isekai MC'.
The only thing Masayuki lacks is a harem 😆

@StateofOhayo You can't complain if you're still here watching. Either stop complaining or stop watching if you hate it so much
@Dukino I was under the idea that since we have a comment system and a voting system that people were allowed to not like something sometimes, guess only fanboys who like terrible exposition are allowed my bad.

Also, I also rated some episodes highly, damned for me if my expectations are lowered again.

@Dukino dog, you can't tell people what they can and can't watch. A lot of us are hangers on praying for good episodes again. Just because others don't like something that you ostensibly do, does not give you cause to berate them.

That was a pretty funny backstory for Masayuki: getting to be a hero by doing the Luigi meme of winning by doing nothing and being humble about it as luck and coincidences took care of the rest. I'd like to see now his encounter with Rimuru and how it will play out as the day of the festival approaches.

Could it be that the story is actually over, but the author can't accept it and tortures everyone with his unabilty to make an interesting plot.

I'm tired of the kind of buildups this show does all the time, it's cute, but so really boring, even Dragonball was more creative with that.

The Masayuki introduction was like "Oh wait I'm watching the wrong anime", but really some fresh air.

@Coast27 Look, I dont wanna be mean, but... can you read? The post you replied to complained about lack of competent character or story development.
If this is your standard for good writing, I urge to check out other media for your own sake. Though I suppose, the jokes on me, I really want to enjoy this, but I cant due to its lackluster execution, maybe you are better off in this afterall.

Leaving problematic context aside, those female elves sure looked nice.

So Tensura's Hero is finally here, and it seems he has quite the OP skills. Looking forward to seeing Rimuru dealing with a dude who basically has "plot armour" as unique skill.

The politics / diplomacy is so absurdly silly it starts to hurt.
"You surely want to take our territory since you're affiliated with Freya!"
No, Freya is now under Milim's care and has no further interest in conquest
"Ohhh, you saying this has now completely convinced me without further evidence or research into the matter, this issue is settled all hail Rimuru"

Great episode, the story of Masayuki was really funny, he and his party seem to be a fun bunch, but he is a Hero, Milim has said that if she hears someone proclaim himself as a hero she will immediately fight him to the death, and the same should be for all the other demon lords, I wonder if Rimuru will have to end up protecting him from them lmao
Btw, when he got transported to this world, that blue haired girl he saw was Rimuru???

I'm happy we finally get to see the fox they saved from Clayman! I hope it's a female, she can grow really big to fight, and our boi Ranga deserves to have a lover too!

This time we heard the story of another otherworldly guy who got transported to this world, the Lightspeed Hero. Masayuki who looks like your average Isekai protag. Helped freeing those elves from slavery and now is helping transporting them back to Tempest. I hope, everything goes smoothly.

Nice to see a different epilogue from another Isekai'd hero.

To bring perspective to "our" slime boi's protagonist aura laden world.

I wouldn't necessarily mind a single volume adaptation and release.
Based on him and his tertiary relevance to Rimuru. Similar to how Konosuba did the Megumin demon village arc.

Fleshing out the slime-sekai world to keep a better overall longevity.
Is absolutely a solid plan to give us a really satisfying season four. In a few years.

I wouldn't be surprised if the author has a full Lightspeed Hero novel out right after this. Then we get a surprise OVA adaptation or full single cour in the winter season.

Then next April-July they drop the start of Rimuru's fourth season double cour again.

As this feels far too main character driven. With a real protagonist then any of the "backstory development we've gained previously in side character introductions. I'd be really odd to not go anywhere further after this.
