Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 2nd Season Episode 11 Discussion

Magnificent! Great to see Rimuru finally becoming the demon lord and also Diablo's appearance here. With how overpowered Rimuru now looks, I'm kinda curious how many characters are still stronger than him.

I have to say I expected a bit of a flashier massacre of the army, that was a bit below my expectations. Seems like Rimuru also got a new demon servant, wonder if that's a bonus when you become a demon lord? And of course the resurrection spell worked, I hope this is a unique occurence though. If death means nothing, then all danger becomes kinda pointless.

Well, there is a little bit of change. It isn't extremely notable, but Rimuru does become a brutal killer. He didn't ever question the morality behind killing just about everyone in the allied force even after they were basically surrendering to him. Whether they play off of that later with the Kingdom of Falmuth, the Western Holy Church, or human societies in general, I don't know. The writer didn't ever forget about this type of thing in prior arcs but always wrapped them up in an easy happy-go-lucky sort of way, so maybe that trend you mentioned will continue. I don't think it's meant to be that easy though with Hinata and the Western Holy Church. Maybe there's some hope that something could happen there.

Although, for me, I am completely on board with the happy-go-lucky style. I don't want the show to lose the infectious charm it had in the beginning in favor of a overall more serious story. A few serious story beats here and there; sure, I can definitely get behind that ... but not if it means a much more somber tone for the remainder of the story. I really like the lighthearted slice of life stuff mixed with some world building. And the world isn't presented as unflinchingly cruel either, so I don't see it as absolutely necessary that major permanent consequences befall the main group of characters. I mean if the writer can make it work without ruining what they have going ... I will love it, but that'll be really hard and risky to make happen, and it isn't really the main appeal to this show.

Nah man, you’re assuming that all of them wanted to be there doing just that. Soldiers don’t always have the luxury of choosing.

You’re also assuming that the initial attack was the whole main force that Rimuru killed, which it wasn’t.

Idk, that seems a bit hardline to me. He could have taken prisoners if wanted to. Pretty easily with his abilities.

Not saying I would have done so myself in those circumstances. But the moral quandary should come to mind at least.

Damn dude, calm down. I’m just saying when posed with the option to kill surrendering soldiers, some of them innocent, you should at least ponder it. What are you so upset about in that logic?

So, whenever you have an enemy, kill all of them mercilessly or they will come back to hurt you … is that your way of thinking?

… only Sith deal in absolutes. I will do what I must lol

The real world is never as black and white as that. But you’re welcome to have your own view of the world I suppose.
