I think I kind of like the fight between Hinata and Rimuru because there just purely wasn't a lot of special effects.

But the recent 2 (and probably the next) episodes are not going to meet the expectation that came out of 5-6 episodes worth of buildup.

S3 haters have been real quiet since last episode 😎

This was great, I think is the 1st time I found Shion to be an actually good character lol, and it's nice to see that Hinata can actually laugh and talk like a normal girl.

BUT YOOO, DID RIMURU REALLY SACRIFY BEELZEBUB? NO WAY, THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN HIS FAVORITE SKILL, EVER SINCE HE GOT IT AS GLUTONY, FUCK.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Nooo Hinataaaaaa 😭
I will be very sad if she died 😢
Did Raphael just trick Rimuru to give up his ultimate skill???!
By collecting evidence from previous seasons, the one in ice should be the hero locked Veldora
1. Luminous mentioned that Veldora was ruining her area
2. Veldora said he was sealed by the hero because destroying a country
3. We saw the hero in Shizu memories looks like that

That is, all this time we were fed the verey boring business meetings precisely so that they accumulated strength for at least several episodes of good well animated action?

@YuriEmpress Is that the only thing that interests you about this show? Also, if it's that important to you, given that Rimuru initially looks like a deceased female character and created a harem out of it, the "yuri" was there from the beginning.
@RobertBobert Rimuru's soul is male, it's body is genderless, Rimuru just can't make male organ.(Probably because Raphael sensei)

@YuriEmpress He originally said that he deliberately chose a sexless body, but could still make genitals if he wanted. But the question is different, the appearance of his avatar is still female.

What the hell was this fight? I thought there was more urgency years ago when I read the light novel. This reminded me of like a play fight skit from like rdc or something making fun of how people in anime talk. 8 episodes of yapping into that? The directing like totally ruining this anime this season...

Its nice to see Hinata and Rimuru converse greatly using their sword. Shion as well showing such a great skill as a chef, making those hot-blooded dude took an L. Even everyone that took each of their opponent seems like having fun. But not with that end...

I feel like it can be avoided more smoothly since there's Raphael, Rimuru response kinda facepalm me. Tho to increase some tense, i guess its fine to make the end kinda dramatic like that. Even though its a 99,999% Hinata doing fine with those hole, its still interesting to know Luminous also coming as well. Can't wait to see the opening sequence of her and Veldora....

why was rimuru struggling throughout the fight wasn't he suppose to be way stronger? Or is the spirit power his weakness since he's a slime?

Rimuru is physically and talent wise weaker than Hinata and other sword users, like Hakuro for example.
Rimuru only wins fights thanks to Raphael and the bunch of kills he gets from her.
Raphael literally developed a new skills in the middle of a fight to counter Hinata's speed.

bro, hinata and rimurus first battle was almost draw ,,, and now rimuru got true demon lord title and many power ups yet he wasn't able to win with out ai ?? i don't understand,, he has mind acceleration ability,so he is not dumb ,,, why was he struggling with hinata??

The first fight wasn't a draw. Hinata kills Rimuru in multiple timelines the first time they meet because she's much stronger at that point.
- Rimuru was isekai'd 3 years ago, has no talent for fighting, rarely trains, leaves everything to his A.I.. Rimuru has no idea what skills he even has at this point he's so reliant on Raphael.
- Hinata was isekai'd 10 years ago, she's a natural fighter and a real meathead, trained a ton to get to this level. She's one of the best swordsman.
- A lot of characters posses the Thought Acceleration skill, including Hinata.
- Rimuru is like Rudeus, a mage with a lot of mana and spells. Don't expect him to win a sword fight every time it happens.
- Rimuru could tank Hinata's final attack and survive, but Raphael has other plans that's why the skill sacrifice happened.

what timeline are you talking about?? they only met 1 time and rimuru escaped, he didn't want to kill hinata meanwhile hinata went allout with some equipments ,,,

and 3years of Raphael >> 10 years of hinatas experience,, i think because Raphael is basically a ai with little bit of emotions ( I felt it) ,,

Episode was a bad circus show. I was eager to finally get this fight and it was the most underwhelming thing that ever happened in these series. The misunderstanding that lead to the fight is painfully annoying, but alas expected. Having Rimuru struggle so hard compared to his actual level and previous fight was ever-so-ridiculous. Visually, the swordifight itself was beyond meh, the "learn to see the future" midffight and beelzebub sacrifice out of nowhere were absolutely terrible ; having them do the "hit me with your best shot then surrender" TWICE in the same episode as the only way of resolving the issue felt like an insult

The only silver lining to the entire episode where Shion's scenes

What a letdown

Shion was as strong as ever, my favorite part was when she threw a small rock into the ear of one of the Holy Knights and wow how cool it was when it also destroyed another big rock.

Then Hinata and Rimuru's battle was no less cool, even though I already knew what the ending of the episode was like, but fortunately I was given spoilers for what would happen in the next episode, so that could make me relieved haha.

Yep, that was rough at the best of times.

The whole 'misunderstanding leads to fights because no one takes 2 seconds to ask a question they admit they are confused about' bullshit was weak to begin with and then the animation and everything was def not going to make up for it.

Cant wait to spend another 7 episodes in meetings about how to have our next 7 minute long battle in which nothing really happens

Best episode from this season so far. Not only did we witness some long awaited and needed action but we got to see the matter between Rimuru and Hinata resolved by that misunderstanding (but who tampered with the message though?). Well at least the matter would be settled and we could have a laugh about it if it weren't for Seven Days's interference at the very end causing her to be stabbed. We just can't have nice things anymore.

In any case, the other parties didn't seem to witstand a chance either, that being Shion, Benimaru, even Soen got get adversary to admire him. Oh well, the conflict continues with this shady people.

What the actual fuck was all of that? I survived through 7 episodes of Podcast-The-Anime on pure hopium but this is way beyond any salvation. Everything is bad: characters are all cardboard, world building is nonsence with "overwriting rules" and such, plot is nonexistant (yes, let's sacrifice belzebul because why the fuck not), animation is very strange (konosuba is okay with such drawing, but this is not a comedy you know).

@_otaku_man00 @Yaggamy can't seem to separate the LN and anime. They've done this before already, using their knowledge from the LN to defend the anime's storytelling, since they know the payoff already and they're just here to watch and hear what they've read on paper. I dunno, their brains are wired different; they can't seem to understand that other people don't have the same information that they do, or be able to differentiate the story from the medium.

I mean this in the least offensive way possible, but they're probably on the high end of the spectrum, as these behaviors are a common sign.

LOL

"You got my message"

"Yea"

they confirmed each other, but didn't bother actually confirming the message, LOL, and they're still wondering why both side are fighting each other...

.

Also, Rimuru obtained "Ultra Instinct", hehe (predict future attacks)

Also also, one of the female knights seems to have fallen for our emotionless Oni... LOL

.

And... "you took that hit on purpose"

Whereas Raphael said "unavoidable"...

Raphael = ඞ ඞ ඞ

LOL

I bet Raphael secretly copied that ultimate attack.

.

Rip Hinata tho... I wonder if Rimuru's going to somehow heal her...

This fight was the most pointless one ever. Hinata seems to not be very smart, even after she realized the bishop was killed by her own people she does not question if the message he delivered might have been tampered with? Especially after these shady sages showed up?

And her subordinates figured out this was set up but they still didnt say anything lmao.

Well she was still stronger than expected, but of course Rimuru has limitless cheat skills.

The swords explosion hitting Hinata was unexpected though.

Were these the best-looking fights in the whole show? Everything looked so fluid and smooth...

Amazing episode. For a conflict based on an incredibly dumb misunderstanding, I gotta say I enjoyed this outcome greatly. Hinata getting a lung obliterated being the cherry on top.

Also hope people is ready. Because dialogue-heavy episodes will most likely return now that everything is partially cleared up. F in advance for them, I guess.

Well... the Humans in this series seems to be really stupid... none of them (that isn't higher ups) knows they're all literally worshipping a Demon Lord... they still think they're worshipping a "God"...

Even the Humans that's currently Rimuru's friends used to be like that... they used to be real stupid until they become Rimuru's friends, LOL.s

.

As for Hinata's subordinates... well... that blond hair dude did technically yell real quiet toward Hinata trying to warn her... no idea why he yell real quiet or why didn't he continue to try and warn Hinata... I guess he's just stupid like that. Well, he was stupid for being used by the 7day dudes in the first place.

Tho what's even more weird is... this blond dude's original reason to stop Hinata from going to Tempest... is cause "Hinata is getting into a good relationship with a Demon Lord"...

So technically when he tried to warn Hinata that he was "ruining her negotiation"... actually didn't have to, cause if he interrupted the fight, that means "Hinata will get into a good relationship with a Demon Lord where they'll talk instead of fight". So letting the fight continues means the blond dude technically "succeed" in his original goal. Except now Hinata's taking the hit since she tried to protect Rimuru.

@stevejawbs From the bits I've heard about this fight on the Aninews channel, Rimuru's got 1,000,000 thought acceleration at this point. The man could dodge a light-speed bullet from 300 yards away, and react to one from under 100. I literally don't care how OP Hinata's supposed to be, he didn't need the power to predict her movements in the first place. His only concern here should have been the fact that his body apparently can't keep up with his BS thinking speed. This fight gets dumber the more I hear about it. So if there's anything they should be complaining about, it's that the anime didn't sell us on precisely how artificial this fight was, start to finish.
