It's time for our weekly meeting
>>287968191Laughed like a retard at this lineThis fucking show
This is a demon lord.
>>287968191>The catastrophic mistake of thinking they could defeat Rimuru Tempest at a meeting of all thingsSoon they won´t even be able to beat his underlings at meetings. It´s over.
>>287968191the movie finally aired here. i think i'll bite the bullet and go see it till next ep. no one ripped it for anons to watch.
>>287968265What stops Rimuru from boning them? Seriously.
TENSURA NIKKI 2 WHEN
>>287968469The voice in his head neutered him
Does it progress all the way to this moment or does it fast-forward to it at first (e.g. to have it as a cliffhanger) like in the manga?
>>287968469Robot in his head doesn't want him to have a penis.
A fucking gun.
>>287968776Tensura has always been pro-gun. Though guns are always an extreme. They are never "moderately useful" but instead always either completely fucking useless or absurdly OP game-changers, never anything in-between.
>pic related LN>>287968699Manga>>287968729>>287968746Anime
>>287968191This was a Peak Meetings episode. This cliff hanger was nasty
>>287968191I could beat him
>>287968746Well? What did the council request from him?
>>287969043stay tune for next weeks Meeting to know about it
>>287968971Ahh, what a good meeting. Looks like cheeky anon couldn't resist the meeting lord, you can't beat the meeting lord, nobody can beat the meeting lord, not the meeting lord, can't beat the meeting lord, man. Nope.
>>287968454As anime movies go it ain't badThough you have to understand it is a Gobta movieDo sourcefags know if it's fully non-canon or is the first post credit scene only in there to make the audience less sad?
Stitches.
>>287968729>>287968746FUCK nobility
meetings
Rimuru is so fucking cute....
spoil me, does greed bitch end up wanting slimy cock then?
>>287969414She lost to him instantly after they "fought". Like a single page instant. It's actually pathetic how quickly it happened after all the buildups.
Where can I read the manga now that mangadex has gone to shit? I want to read next episode's spoilers.
>>287969444This is the best site to read. This chapter is where this episode started but I recommend reading from the beginning https://weebcentral.com/chapters/01J8NH0YGREXMWTDD2QYTXHCF6
we need to rest up for next week's meetings
Bro I waited 2 weeks for this episode where the fuck is my meeting??!?!?!! 3 minutes is not fucking enough wtf??!?!?!
Last stitch.
>>287969443unfortunate i guess, thanks anon
meeting chads we are so back
>>287969546Where's the poncho stitches?
new slime meeting
>>287969043They want to fuck him
>>287969533Try to watch it at normal speed
>>287969707Meeting starts at 18 minutes and ends at 22 minutes. That's four minutes of meeting. Cafe meeting doesn't count.
>>287969546Could it be that Mariabell caught him with her skill?
>>287969510Rimuru looking extra breedable in the manga
>>287969741Even unscheduled meetings are meetings
I heard this season is going to run for over 50 episodes? That should be well past Gran's arc by this pacing right? I always thought the anime is adapting from manga and won't ever get ahead but maybe that's not true.
>>287969167how much elmesia was there? just a few minutes?
They forgot to animate this dude's mouth flaps. Or he's psychic.
>>287969883you heard wrong
>>287969167The movie was fine, better than the last movie. The whole purpose is just to introduce **Carrera.**>>287969885She is in the movie a decent amount.
>>287969997>She is in the movie a decent amount.they knew how to buy me
>>287969883The first 2 cours should adapt up to volume 12, we're currently on Volume 10. The whole 4th season has to ideally adapt up and end on Volume 15
>>287968312>>287968350>>287968377>>287968436>>287968456>>287968476>>287968498This outfit is absolutely adorable
>>287969986https://youtu.be/xCmbdX_fCdMIt says 5 cours here. That's 60 episodes. Non-consecutive cours are still within season 4.
>>287969585I don't think there was any such scenes.
>>287968498>Rimuru /ss/
>>287970034I don't understand picrel, explain it
>>287969883Wrong. It's 5 cours, i.e. ~60 episodes. But they are split up. We'll get the first 2 cours, i.e. ~24 episodes this Spring and Summer. It's unknown when the remaining 3 cours will air or how long the break will be until the 3rd cour or whether or not the 3 remaining cours will also be split up and if so, how long the break(s) will be then. The possibilities of cour combinations (1 cour = ~12 episodes) are the following: >2-3 >2-1-2 >2-2-1 >2-1-1-1Depending on how many "parts" there will be and how long a break between each "part" there is, the anime might very well still stay behind the manga.
>>287970102you don't understand it, you feel itbut it's the allure of a hair's trajectory curving around the form of the scarf, a tidy form of dishevelment
>>287970209>>287970102just tell him it's like ZR or thighhighs digging into flesh.
>>287970041They just straight up ordered 60 episodes? I guess at this point it's a safe bet. You just don't often see production committees going for large episode orders outside the usual daytime TV fair.
>>287968729>>287968746>>287969546I am of two minds about them trying to bully Tempest. On one hand, trying to undermine such a new and fast growing country is the geopoliticaly smart thing to do. I'd expect competent world leaders to do as much considering how much military, economical and cultural power they have amassed. On the other hand, pissing off a Demon Lord is just extremely retarded. It is not even about powerlevels, Rimuru is literally a monster and you are all in a locked room with him. The fuck are you guys doing.
>this dude seriously thought he was going to bamboozle rimiru by putting him on the spot in a big meetingDoes he know how many meetings Rimiru has chaired?
>>287970450This dude is the only person in this council actually aware how stupid it is to cross a demon lord. He's literally just doing his job.
>>287970437I got the impression that at least a few of them believed Rimiru was all bark and no bite, that without Veldora he was just an upstart monster. This obviously begs the question of how they thought an upstart monster could "tame" Veldora
>>287970478Nah he was still putting pressure on them. He was just a lot more respectful about it.
>>287968248
>>287970415well this is the anime popular with ossans in management, with a whole constellation of spinoffs. probably safe money.
>>287970415I wonder if they had a proper meeting about this
>>287970495I feel like an upstart monster is still an upstart monster. Even if he were just a tutorial Slime from the first patch of grass, I still would not want to be in the splash zone.
I cringed
Watching this anime got me interested in meetings as a concept. Are there other animes that are straight up only about meetings and nothing else?
>>287971202>Watching this anime got me interested in meetings as a concept.
>>287969043Seconding for spoilers. I can't wait for more MEETINGS.
>>287971202How about you go get a job
>>287969043Less meetings
>>287971202Get a job as a manager or team leader and attend meetings irl
>>287971358In typical bullshit it's not what you think.
>>287968456>>287968556Rimuru should dress cute (girl) clothes.
>>287971385The absolute audacity. That's Tempest's main export.
>>287971202Saga of Tanya the evil has a whole lot of meetings
>>287971570
Rimiru only gets more complacent by the episode, just letting the computer autopilot everything. I want him to get punished for it.
Is it Zegion yet?
https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1778263927277275.webm
>>287971847Extremely useful webm for future meetings
>>287968469Rimuru gets boned by goblins
>>287970437the great, 3 ep long meeting of s2c2 engineered this situation, with rimuru politically hiding behind veldora's legs.then he engineered a duel draw with hinata.his soft wording and keigo doesn't help.add into that mariabel's skill, and they're utterly unable to perceive him as anything more than clayman, probably as less.
>>287969668Who doesn't?
>>287968469he has no actual sex drive, fucking them would only be for show, no pleasure involved
>>287971962He really is a geopolitical trap
>>287970437>>287970495the anime explain this, MC hid his power level on purpose and created fake rumors to make himself look weak so other nations wouldn't have a reason to want to exterminate him or completely fear him, this lets MC have some room to negotiate.Hinata is in the room and I assume they hired bodyguards in the case Rimuru wants to kill them, they assume that would be enough because of the rumors.
>>287968469Raphael.
>>287972149>Hinata is in the roomTemple Knights Leader Observes Council Meeting.Who She Protected Will Shock (You)!
>>287972243You require a meeting to better analyze this episode anon
>>287972346this is the post-meeting news coverage sir. buckle up and get ready.
>>287969043Spoiler for council's request from the manga.
>>287972243She needs more tentacle rape
Great meeting cliffhanger, can't wait for next week's meeting to see what happens! (unsarcastically)
>>287968469Everyone is asexual
>>287971904Speaking of goblins, it really bothers me that he didn't bring Gobta or Rigurd as part of his entourage. Tempest was originally a goblin village, they deserve some representation in the global stage.
>>287972927It's doubtful they would have been as warmly welcomed as the oni. Goblins are fairly lowly monsters, people probably wouldn't hesitate to discriminate against them. It's just buying trouble to bring them, until Engrassia is more accustomed to goblins and other monsters as peaceful neighbors. The oni, at least, nobody is gonna fuck with. They look very human, except for the horns, and anybody who recognizes them for what they are would A) struggle not to shit their pants in fear and B) remove themselves from their presence.
The movie was very fun. Highly recommend it! Just standard stuff. Just know that it’s a Gobta love story. And there’s more swimsuits than meetings but we have those too.Milam forever cutest girl.
>>287973175I'll just watch it on CR
Can any ln chads elaborate on if anything was mentioned about why the general populace was ok with all the monsters running around? Even the random shopkeep seemed willing to risk life with his fashion decisions of a demon lord.
>>287972460Oi vey, that would do it.>Let's have a pre meeting to plan for tomorrows meeting>Meeting agenda: explain the importance of remaining calm during the actual meeting >Actual meeting happens >Does not remain calm I guess I can't blame him
>>287973155If anything, thats the more reason to bring one. An obvious reminder that these are indeed monsters choosing not to maul them on sight and not just hot dudes may have been helpful.
>>287968469He has no reason not to be boning especially since he died a virgin. It’s a shame.
>>287973266I don't remember mentions of a reason but I'd assumed it's because Tempest is widely known as non-hostile and highly civilized at this point. The council is pretty much ready to incorporate Tempest before this meeting begin and that usually means news would already be circulating within the general population.
>>287968729>>287968746I see negotiations have fallen through
>>287971775TBF he used Raphael to transcribe the entire speech and write corrections and demands. That's not something anyone could reasonably do without bullshit anime powers in that timeframe.
>>287973438I see you had a full theater too
>>287968191I was going to give this a try then I saw he turns into a tranny so I dropped it after episode 1
>>287974422I did this too, but I also thought his voice was annoying. It's a cool world, though.
>>287973220when is that? they've been dangling the white hag in front of me for quite a while now.
>>287974422He's a genderless Slime that can transform into anyone
>>287974673>doesn't use this power to fuck all the girlsLiterally what's the point?
>>287974583a year from now probably
>>287968191>Maribel being smug because she doesn´t understand the difference between a demon lord seed and a true demon lord
>>287974696raphael is extremely strict. he never even orders her around. classic case of LN chastity.>>287974703i checked webrip dates on nyaa for movie 1, eng theater was 2 months after nip theater.chink webrip appeared 2 months after eng theater, eng webrip was 3 months after eng theater. it shouldn't be so bad.
>>287974774To be fair, neither does a part of the audience.
>>287969246She could be a succubus.
>>287974673but he liked elf booba that one time
>>287974897he even liked the booba on the aged female version of his clone, just felt too shizu-like to use it.
>>287968469>What stops Rimuru from boning them?He has no bone
>>287975087speedwatcher kun. he has complete free reign over his form since the awakening. just too dumb to notice.
>>287968469It's this >>287972066While his taste is still intact from his previous life, there is no testosterone in his body, literally. Hormones drives 90% of any inclination to fuck.
>>287975164NTA, but big changes in appearance is uses the "black mist" which is like putting on thick work-clothes and reduces Rimuru's immersion (and reaction-time) with that form. Rimuru creating a "fake boner" is like putting a strap-on on a barbie/ken doll.
>>287968469The actual reason is his tulpa is cockblocking him.
>>287975318isn't that the pre awakening logic? word of god in s2c1e11 said rel.
>>287975369Probably a translation issue. I saw a different translation that said something more along the lines of "can now swap between spiritual body and material body" so more like he can ghostify himself if he wants.
slime penors are serious businessneed meetings about them
>>287975539fren, you're replying to a dekiru.let's go back to the raws hm?in short, i'm right.変体自在に可能
shuuna sexmilim sexrimiru SEXgobta sex?
>>287970034Isn't his clothing actually part of his body?
>>287975764Shion bros?!?!
bro I hope this episode doesnt have meetings
>>287968469Forget about boning, what about full body cuddle covering her like a jumpsuit?
>>287975193But what about romantic interest? Schizo self-cest satisfies him?
>>287975954she has a nice boob window in the movie >>287973438 so it's ok.
>>287975954Shion wife
can a slime and a sage have sex? asking for a friend.
>>287976278告hehehe
>>287975954She's too stupid to get laid. Tragic.>>287975954
>>287975690Doesn't make sense, since he had 万能変化 since vol. 2 (he just regains it with his new body from his TDL evolution in vol. 5) and this skill could not actually remake his body in the true sense. I am still in learning, but I am pretty sure that in this case the と between the body-types being mentioned isn't used as "and" here but rather as "between" because 変態 in terms of transforming usually means from one fixed form to another fixed form, not the "sandbox" type of transformation. Moreover all TDLs are inherently infertile unless they do that thing where they sacrifice most of their powers to give to their child.
>>287976900>he just regains it with his new bodyah that's plausible. so the expression of this ability would be to possess his dungeon avatar core like a few eps ago.but then how does guy do his gender change and sex in different genders?
>>287977151>but then how does guy do his gender change and sex in different genders?There is a difference between Rimuru doing his mimicry in his default androgynous form, or his various other forms. When he does it with his androgynous form he very naturally transforms into it. But when he transforms into other forms, then it uses that "black mist" which is rather wasteful to maintain for longer time and has some kind of "reaction-lag" when using it, too.

>>287968191we would've been watching episode 6 if not for the delay, I'm so fucking sick bros
Goycattle appeasement fantasy is among the heights of modern anime, the east truly fell

>>287968191pacing is so shit>>287974422yeah his look/appearance, voice and thinking ability are shitMC is the worst part of the series while everyone else is good, only reason to follow the series is everyone elseMC gets hard carried by Raphael and should have picked full on female body instead of neutral
>>287977291>the pic of ED 3god fucking dammit I already erased that from my memory, wtf were they thinking?

>>287978416They're going to fuck him but Rimuru wants to do the fucking instead
>>287978416>>287972460
Milim anal
>>287978416new upper management wants to feel like they have more control so they want to chip away at rimuru's responsibilities
>>287978645Naruhodo
>>287973266Rimuru looks 100% human and the rest look 99% human. The horns are probably going to attract attention but I kind of doubt random shopkeepers would know who they are, plus the oni are probably high enough on their evolutionary path that regular people don't know what they are and couldn't identify one immediately, like I said since they just look like humans with horns.

Meeting time.I think their horns will stand out more than their outfits will.Cute pink.So it's just sugar dirt water with milk in it now.Of course he dressed up as a girl, he did take his base from from one.Somehow miss golden shower is humanities hope. Humans are fucked if that's the case.Cute pink butt.Thus starts our meeting. How many episodes will it last? What that desk made of balsa wood?
>>287969137Which one? I count six meetings pacing by diverse talkings. Some other meetings and talkings obviously happened but off camera. I'm not sure if the fashion store is a fashion meeting or a fashion talking. Ofcourse, they probably had a meeting before, for the formal outfits...
"Yeah... saw this coming..."
>>287972460Beni after reading the list: Death it is, then.
>>287980211We'll discuss it in the next meeting.
>>287970984Me too
so who did their western council meeting better, rimuru or his car?
>>287981403Car is really good at manipulating and pushing humans around.
>>287971202>animes
If I was living in Tempest, what would be my chances of scoring with Ramiris?

raphael upgrade wen

>>287982789Nah thats clearly an alien It's very similar to the Alien files videos
>>287968423Uh oh, they are about to go full USA>la creatura de tempest
How do I stop thinking about anal with Rimuru?
>>287982789that's part of his ultimate skill

>yuki fighting rimuru in the OPis it safe to assume he's finally gonna get his ass kicked?
>>287983082same...
>>287983082>>287983619You want to be pegged in the rear by Rimuru's slimy tentacles? That's quite the kink you have there.
>>287981778it's fun
>>287981978He's a slime. His body is Gender-ambiguous. Nothing wrong with that.
>>287985278Is that crem bussy I see
>>287985336INTERLOPER!
>>287980233Rimuru underestimated the council's stupidity while Hinata is a veteran tard wrangler.Honestly, it's kinda funny how arrogant many of them can be because they don't interact with any of the actual powerful people in the world.
>>287968191IT'S TIME!!!!!!
Meeting sucks fucking dick but why is it entertaining when the slime does it....?
>>287986239he would pass as a german undercover
>>287986269
>>287986291>this brat
I do feel like the manga has a better pacing for how stuff goes down.
Looking forward to my weekls dose of
Wait so why does Rimuru need to join this council? Why doesn't he just start wiping out nations until the rest submit to him, or there are none left?
>>287986830because thats Overlord
>>287986830guy crimson would lose his shit and pay a visit
>>287981778It's not particularly deep or anything but I like the civilization building aspect of it. For how much people complain about the meetings they're weirdly engaging, I never found myself bored during them.
>>287986830He aims for economic conquest. No need to stain his hands with blood if he can run circles around everybody else economically and technologically.
he doesn't get any angel underlings later on right? shame because they kind of looked good, and they'd mingle well with the rest.
>>287981778Rimuru fanservice and meetings.
>>287968191is he going to mass-murder vaguely-racist white guys this season too?
>I LE WANTED TO HAVE A MEETING BEFORE LE MEETINGBROSSTOP WITH THE FUCKING MEETIGNSSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

>>287987376>>287981978
>>287987376It's the gap between his role as a ruler and him being a complete pushover to peer pressure from his friends. It's both comedic and moe.

>>287987475Rimuru isn't exactly a pushover. He's just schizophrenic.

This week's loser flag
Rimuru-sama's vagina...
>>287968328>>287968350>>287970034It is indeed a very cute outfit
>>287990090The entire slime is self insertable. You could enter the hand, the armpit, or even perform honorable ritual cuminside. There even an advanced tech known as the Riley kiss. The sex potential of slimes is truly unlimited!

>>287991334twitter doesn't exist in that world
>>287991560You should watch The Slime Diaries.
>>287991707I'm still virgin to anything past the original first season, any idea where to go from there?
>>287991817Just watch the show?
>>287991817is s2 bad?
>>287991817Just keep watching in release order
>>287992112I don't know, I didn't watch it.
>>287991817The Slime Diaries takes place before S2 so you can watch it then watch S2, S3 then S4
>flips the table in a spectacular wayYeah, normalfag meetings aren't up to Rimuru's standards.
>>287992425understandable when you're spoiled by standards like in rel
>>287992160watch season 2 then I guess
>>287992425I will never not be mad that the anime skipped one of the most important underlying subtle foreshadowings of the entire story.
>>287992425Also they're just being greedy dicks and need a reality check. They need Tempest a lot more than Tempest needs them. Rimiru could destroy their entire alliance without ever actually going to war with them, purely because of his stranglehold over east-west trade and monopoly over rare exotic goods. If he had even a single ambitious bone in his body he'd peel all the lesser nations away from that group into his own power bloc and then put the major ones under economic siege. They'd probably fold in a year, tops.
>>287992577My biggest wish is for a new studio to remake the whole series following the manga. The manga is the best medium to digest the story yet the anime fails to capture its charm
>>287992661There are a few things that the anime does better, such as the Shizu arc and in general having a better sense of scale compared to the manga that makes everything looks rather tiny. But on the other hand the anime fucked up several very important character defining and character building moments in the story by either brushing over them or sometimes even skipping over them entirely.
>>287992841>>287992577damn, kinda sold the mango to me with those two
>>287993198The manga goes more in depth with the characters whereas the anime skips them to add more fanservice
>>287975193Why do you lie? He's shown very much enjoying the erufu girls, and his final words as a human being was that he'll screw every girl he sees. Its just inconsistent because this is a major franchise and you can't have anything remotely controversial and even get to that point. So you just get a default herbivore MC.
>>287992112No it’s great
>>287968191I haven't watched any of slime but I tried out this episode because I heard there was some good bureaucracy/project management. I like the pre-meeting meeting but I dislike the comically evil topdogs of the council. A competent leader would be more earnest in gaining benefit from Rimuru and wouldn't be so heavy-handed. Then again I suppose those leaders would be sitting back and observing, like Maribel. Maybe we'll see them later.It's odd that they lack their own retinues.I'm surprised Rimuru is jumping straight to joining the council. Maribel who seems to be a well-meaning character who still has misconceptions about Rimuru's intentions. That lack of trust suggests to me that joining the council is a bit premature and instead Rimuru should develop weaker relationships with the council. Trust is a process after all. Then again I suppose if the council is being overly beckoning then one should take advantage of this shortcut in the trust process. (But then again if Rimuru hasn't scaled up his industries and developed a cour of experienced diplomats, he could end up making a bad first impression on the members.)Forgive me for analysing and critiquing despite having only watched one episode.
>>287993355>you can't have anything remotely controversialTransmaxxing a guy is controversial tho>>287990132>>287987054
>>287993568>a guyit's a genderless slime voiced by a woman
>>287993552You should start at the beginning if you’re into project management. Trust me
>>287993552>A competent leader would be more earnest in gaining benefit from Rimuru and wouldn't be so heavy-handedThere is a very obvious reason for this behavior, which would have been apparent for anyone who saw the previous 2 episodes, which you didn't, so it's understandable why you don't understand it. Then again, there are plenty of people in this thread who did see them yet also didn't realize it. Just because last week was a break due to golden week they all forgot about the information from previous episodes... >Maribel who seems to be a well-meaning character who still has misconceptions about Rimuru's intentions Here as well you are lacking context. Rimuru and Mariabel cannot co-exist as rulers without at least one of them surrendering entirely. Their goals are in direct conflict with each other but time is on Rimuru's side, so Mariabel is cornered and is forced to make a move or she'll lose all of her remaining leverage.
>>287993649But the slime is actually a guy from earth...Rimuru even got some naked paintings of Hinata at some point in the novel
>>287968632>activate gay mode
>>287993552>I dislike the comically evil topdogs of the councilThere's a reason for that which will be explored next episode

>>287995626The manga executes it much better though, often including minor "fixes" as well.
>>287987432That episode was horrendously garbage though, and JJK itself has zero value whatsoever outside of the spectacle of the fights
>>287990132I love striped bikini Rimuru so much.>>287990145I suffered the gacha with the single minded goal of unlocking the maid outfit. Unfortunately, neither the maid outfit, nor the great sage goddess outfit have panties. In a bad way.
>>287996172femuru
I'm surprised that Rimuru, after having serious trouble with attacks that used anti-magic areas, didn't order the construction of powerful non-magical weapons or hybrid weapons with magical screening elements. Besides, the Great Sage could have been a big help with that.During the attack on Falmuth, machine gun fire could have dampened the war criminal knights’ enthusiasm.For Isekajjin with super-fast perception, you’d need something stronger, but since Shogo had barely 100x perception acceleration, he’d have trouble dodging something like a Claymore mine or another fragmentation bomb detonated near.
>>287990132Why that guy wears bra? Especially since he himself acknowledged that, despite his slightly androgynous physique, he was a man at heart. Which episode was that in?
>>287996420Rimuru's not ready to have his forests painted in agent orange
>>287996506>Which episode was that in?Slime Diarieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq63qa66nzY
>>287996506It's just someone else's imagination.
>>287996420Megiddo is an example of a hybrid weapon.
>>287996506because he still sees Hinata's body as Hinata's body that she gifted to him. His real body is his slime form and he doesn't wear a bra in that, but going around topless in Hinata's body like an exhibitionist would be an insult to her memory.
>>287996801This, that’s what it reminded me ofBut degenerates there would force that Rimuru is just like them. Many such cases.
>>287996851This is a heavily modified version of Shizu's body, he doesn't have breasts and looks like an androgynous guy
>>287996420Unlike unique forms of technology that Rimiru has created with the great abundance of magic and mana at his disposal, earth tech doesn't require anything esoteric to make. Anybody could make guns, bombs, etc if they knew how. That means once you unleash that kind of tech on the world, there's no putting the genie back in the bottle, nothing stopping an arms race from developing the exact way it did on earth. The reason this is a bad idea for Rimiru is that he's not particularly knowledgeable about earth weapons. He was a mild mannered salaryman in a largely gun-free country. The possibility that there's another isekaijin out there who is both more knowledgeable about modern Earth weapons, and more willing to use them, is not low enough to make this decision carelessly. There's also the fact that Rimiru doesn't really need such weapons to defend himself or his people. The anti-magic field is the kind of ace in the hole that, once its precise method of deployment is known, it loses a tremendous amount of its advantage. The fact that Rimiru also developed countermeasures against it means the chances of it being effective against him ever again are slim. It's still technically a threat against him, but it's not a weapon that can be relied on as an ace in the hole any longer. They'll need to bring something else to bear to threaten him enough to make the anti-magic field viable.Which is why it's not a good idea to hand those people weapons that don't require magic to function or manufacture, and which greatly amplify the deadly force of a non-magical army and give even regular humans the capacity to wage war on vastly stronger races.
>>287996929right, shizuI always get their names mixed up
>>287996959Oh, and there's pretty much no way they could stop the tech from leaking out. People would eventually smuggle firearms out of Tempest, and since there's nothing magical about their construction or use, reverse-engineer them. That is more or less how knowledge and use of firearms spread around Europe.
>>287974131Not the guy you are replying to, but I find it kind of funny that at least three people ITT had an entire theatre to themselves when watching the movie.
>>287996959All in all, you’re pretty much right. But they should still set up a top-secret research facility, for example in a zone created by Ramiris, like this dungeon.The arms race is already underway, and the risk of an attack on Jura is enormous. Maybe simple guns and bombs would only make sense at the very beginning. But hybrid weapons like Megiddo are a whole different story.And as for knowledge, doesn’t the Great Sage happen to know a thing or two about making this kind of stuff? Or could he figure out how to replicate it using the tools available here?You can also create purely physical weapons with the help of magic.
>>287997160I would bet on a very short, focused, high-energy flash at the right frequency.That is, barring some powerful manipulation of time and space, this is inevitable, because information cannot travel faster than light. Therefore, even if the struck opponent had accelerated thinking, they wouldn’t realize they were being shattered into subatomic particles.At most, a very strong passive defense against physical attacks would help here.
>>287996420>>287996959It doesn't matter because the Eastern Empire is already mass producing modern earth weapons. And it's actually far more than just guns.
>>287997160>for example in a zone created by Ramiris, like this dungeon.I would still say it's too much of a risk. It's pure hubris to create the only weapons that could possibly threaten you, believe they are totally secure, and eventually have them stolen or smuggled out from under your nose. There's simply no good reason for setting yourself up like this when you have tremendous advantages as long as such weapons are not in play. This is akin to a Bond villain installing a big, conspicuous self-destruct button for his whole lair which he leaves lightly guarded next to an air duct large enough for an adult man to crawl through.>The arms race is already underwayPresumably, because it seems very much like somebody has a rifle. But they need to confirm this before they make any moves (for reasons already stated). Thankfully, Rimiru actually has a pretty excellent intelligence service for this job. If it turns out somebody already has firearm production capabilities, then he can start developing countermeasures for the inevitable armies of riflemen, artillery guns, and probably tanks. With magic (and Dwarves), Rimiru would be able to vastly out-produce his rivals if he decided to manufacture weapons, so as long as he is well-informed he does not have to be first to make them. Indeed, he shouldn't be first.>And as for knowledge, doesn’t the Great Sage happen to know a thing or two about making this kind of stuff? Honestly, not sure. The Sage could definitely help with the science-based issues of developing weapons, and probably some of the more intuitive parts of modern military strategy, at a bare minimum. The Great Sage is something of a deus ex mechina so when in doubt I would default to "yes".>You can also create purely physical weapons with the help of magicYes, which is why I argue Rimiru doesn't need to be first to make guns. The point isn't so much that he can use magic this way, it's that other people can't, at least not nearly to the same capacity.
>>287997489>>287997330>>287997160is this a meeting?
>>287997386In that case, Rimiru would be wise to develop countermeasures to firearms. He just needs to become aware of the extent of the Empire's armaments. Thankfully he has pretty much the only shinobi in the world at his beck and call.
>>287997386>this weapon doesn't work against monstersI'm guessing he means the stronger monsters, the ones humanity struggles against. I'm pretty sure goblins would stay dead if you plugged them with bullets.
Any good fight to look forward in this season
>>287997542It is. That is what responsible governance in the kingdom is about.>>287997571>armamentsOrdinary firearms aren’t even the main issue, it’s the development of physics, electronics, and all the other sciences from our world, and then weaving magic into that, which is essentially an extension of physics. I guess there’s no other option but to use the Ramiris Small World, lock the scientists and engineers in there with their families, and strictly control the flow of information in and out.Drastic threats require drastic measures, and besides, Rimuru has already shown that when it comes to defending his subjects, he doesn’t mess around (but they'd have to find a way to hide the fact that they, of all them, disappeared). Unless there's another way to avoid spying and leaks, but IRL we know what happened at Los Alamos.>Thankfully he has pretty much the only shinobi in the world at his beck and call.I’d be afraid to send Souei to a place where there might be modern physical-magical sensors.
>>287968746i worked on this scene ><
>>287989379Yeah she gonna fold in an instant, I'm certain
>>287997571Against Tempest, firearms are already of little use by this point. >>287997632It's more about firearms being good for culling very weak enemies and monsters usually have a higher floor in terms of basic specs compared to humans. Humans make up for their weaknesses with Arts, which are techniques that need to be learned and practiced a lot, which is an advantage in some cases, such as Orc Lords whose army can absorb innate powers that human's don't have, but when faced with firearms then humans that have a worse base-spec starting point are far more vulnerable compared to monsters that e.g. have innate skills for creating thick armor or even outright regeneration.
>>287985765Doubly funny considering they know Rimuru is a demon lord. As in "I can blow up your country". It's like going to Satan's face and yelling "YOU PUSSY".
>>287997931The Falmuth Army has already demonstrated its incompetence in many ways, and despite having truly powerful units, it still lost. After all, they knew about area-of-effect magic and used it themselves; they gathered their troops in cramped camps, in a small area, without digging in, what could go wrong? On top of that, there was a lack of communication between units, if Hinata had been informed in time that Rimuru was slaughtering the army, she could have seriously hindered him.There was supposedly intelligence, but it was limited to organizing an ambush on Rimuru. They didn’t know there were more dangerous monsters outside the city.Besides, Clayman was using electronic signals that Rimuru intercepted, so electronics are present there. Firearms too, since we recently saw them being used.They should definitely open Top Secret Los-Ramiros research and development facility.
>>287992577How is this important later?
>>287998268Can you add one and one anon?
>>287998292I haven't caught up yet, just curious.
>>287997924a meeting is like a fight of the mind, so there's lots to look forward to every episode.
>>287995164I wish I could attend meetings every day in Jura Tempest.
>>287998305Ahhthe main antagonist at the moment has an ability that affects people's minds, to keep spoilers minimal
>>287998308Exactly, if Falmuth had held proper briefings, especially given the presence of experienced officers, and as a result had prepared and fought in accordance with military doctrine, avoiding making a slew of basic mistakes, they would have won.
>>287997931If the cat's out of the bag, then Rimiru should be going all-in on modern warfare because otherwise he is simply ceding a technological advantage to his enemies. He arguably doesn't need guns at all for his armies, but electronics are another matter entirely. Air power, too, but given how many large flying creatures there are, plus magical flight, airplanes aren't the same level of game-changer. Electronic communications alone would be more valuable than any other tech Rimiru could develop, and it would only stand to enhance his military capabilities. And his economic capabilities. Basically just an overall force multiplier. Best part is, it's much, much harder for spies to smuggle out the secret of electronic communication. An electronic communications network has many components to make it functional and is a large infrastructural project that can't be speedily replicated even if they do manage to somehow reverse engineer it from odds and ends smuggled out of the country. It could take years before any of his rivals managed to build their own communications networks even if the tech leaked out while Rimiru was still developing it. Also, it might actually be a good idea for Rimiru to deliberately leak the tech to his enemies, because they likely would have no clue how to create secure lines or prevent wire tapping and signal interception. He could give them a means to communicate which they would assume is private. If Rimiru himself contracted to build out the communications networks of these countries, he could build his wire taps into the initial build out.
>>287998172>Against Tempest, firearms are already of little use by this point.firearms from v13 could make fodder of cannon fodder like hobgoblin infantry in minutes. a hit would probably retire an unnamed mob kijin. even gobta and co are serious about avoiding direct hits.
>>287998440Why dismantle that infrastructure right away? As long as there isn’t an all-out war, it’s enough to reveal only what we know the enemy has, while developing, producing and storing the interesting stuff in the "basement".Basically, advanced scientific development would have to go underground.Besides, the enemy could be doing exactly the same thing, not every country is as stupid as Falmuth.
>>287998440>Also, it might actually be a good idea for Rimiru to deliberately leak the tech to his enemies, because they likely would have no clue how to create secure lines or prevent wire tapping and signal interception. He could give them a means to communicate which they would assume is private. If Rimiru himself contracted to build out the communications networks of these countries, he could build his wire taps into the initial build out.Have you lost your mind? Underestimating your opponent is one of the worst possible mistakes. It’s common knowledge that they summon isekaijins, they’ve been doing it for ages so probably have developed magical-physical techniques, so handing them such things on a silver platter would be the height of stupidity.An IRL example? The US feeding technology to “stupid and backward” China.
>>287998690They would teach them to do it wrong, though, as a joke.
>>287998440>Electronic communications alonehe announced wire based remote mental calls complete with mental imagery >>287992546>they likely would have no clue how to create secure linessimple comms on the level of radio are not revolutionary in the least. most stronger characters can mentally talk already including temple knights.i think rimuru should have by now invested in expanding his reishi-based ("holy") casting system with spells that forcibly dismantle holy fields, anti magic areas and so on. like, they blast the spell frameworks apart like gram demolition in mahouka. that would sidestep the whole problem, and he's already hosting a reishi spell network thanks to luminous. it's all one raphael compute-minute away.
>>287998268It makes you paranoid every time someone gets uncharacteristically angry/irritated/irrational, making you speculate that maybe someone was trying to mindcontrol this or that character which in the end might or might not have succeeded. Most obvious example that had already been shown is Clayman, though in his case it's even been stated directly.
>>287998771We saw that magical communication could be jammed, so they need redundancy.By the way, ARPANET was created precisely to provide redundancy for military communications. If a single node or cable/transmitter-reciver goes down? No problem, the packets automatically take a detour.Magical communication, physical communication, maybe a mix of both, plus underground cables. This is incredibly important. Even more so than an advantage in firepower.
>>287998440>>287998771You call it "wire based" but it's actually going through the shadow realm so it's essentially in another dimension and only possible to interfere with if you have shadow- or space-related abilities yourself, so it's much safer from sabotage than regular wires would be. Also because it goes through the shadow realm, it can circumvent what would normally be "obstacles" in the real world. Similarly, Rimuru and Souei also built the hotspring bath by connecting the hotspring bath with pipes to the hotspring source via the shadow realm.
anons, why didn't Guy notice rimuru used beelzebub in front of his face like 10 times during walpurgis?
>>287999022And that’s great; solutions like this make sense for communication between more distant locations. The question is also how resistant it is to countermeasures, and, actually, what kinds of countermeasures could disrupt it.These are exactly the kinds of things that should be studied.But for regular military forces at the tactical level, communication technology is still necessary.
>>287999022>only possible to interfere with if you have shadow- or space-related abilities yourselfSouei shadow communication with Rimuru was heavily obstructed by Hinata's field, so it's not impossible to disrupt.
>>287999178Well, he noticed, so what was he supposed to do about it? He accepted him as a member of their group, so why would he make a fuss?
>>287998172>Against Tempest, firearms are already of little use by this point.*firearms that are not modified to fit into that world
>>287999493didn't he make a problem out of all people with ultimate skills later?
>>287972460This is retarded.
>>287999550Beelzebub isnt an Ultimate skill
>>288000270when word of god said it's ultimate?
>>287999550I believe it was specifically towards the Angelic Ultimate skills which is a whole different spectrum from normal Ultimate skills
Rimuru gets off on meetings, he knows that getting involved with women comes with problems. Especially when the women are shion and shuna
>>287986830that'd be bad for Tempest's economy
>>287987196I mean, there's some similarities. Both Ainz and Rimiru were 30-something salarymen who died on earth and woke up in a new fantasy world in a nonhuman body (Ainz is a skeleton), and there's inexplicable video gamey aspects to this world that they can exploit, both have godlike powers (Ainz starts with his, Rimiru works up to it) and essentially engage in a nation building fantasy, acquiring powerful minions (again, Ainz already starts with insanely overpowered minions). The main difference though is that Ainz's faction is evil. He himself isn't evil at all, at worst he can just be callous when his undead nature starts suppressing his human emotions. His minions, though, are absolutely evil. And I don't just mean "they fight the generic 'good guy races and are misunderstood", I mean they enslave, torture, and casually slaughter anyone who resists them, even good, decent people. They are sadists, they are willfully cruel, they enjoy causing pain to "inferior races". Ainz tries to rein them in, but he's less and less able to do so as the story goes on and their plans grow beyond his comprehension. He is, afterall, just a salaryman, and his NPCs are all super high spec monsters a few of which have genius IQs. He's left guessing what they're planning and have to make like he understands it to live up to their image of him as an all-powerful, all-knowing being. Not that they'd ever express disappointment in him, they just interpret whatever he says or does as some unfathomable 11D chess move if it appears to be stupid on its face.It's a lot more of a power fantasy than Tensura is, which is more what I'd call a nation building fantasy. There's nation building in Overlord, but it's a lot more about being a massively over-leveled, unfathomably powerful evil wizard that the people of this world truly have no idea how fucked they are. The only thing holding back total genocide / conquest is Ainz himself being extremely cautious and just wanting to chill.
What’s Rimiru’s tax policy?
>>28800249412.5%
>>288002494Rimiru is independently wealthy as the private owner of most of Tempest's most profitable enterprises, thus he has no reason to levy taxes on his subjects. They give him enough gifts and throw enough parties in his honor that further taking stuff from them would just be gauche.
>>288002585He doesn't need taxes anyway, the orcs maintain the roads out of civic pride, there's no need for a standing army because Rimiru's most loyal vassals will fight for him if he asks, or he'll just fight himself. He doesn't need a national health plan because magic. Welfare? Get a job or he'll find one for you. Retirement? He just gave you a name and now you're young and ripped as fuck, welcome back to the workforce motherfucker.
>>288002494A series of meetings will need to be held to decide on that
He's so fucking cute.
>>287999178I am pretty sure he did notice. Rimuru deliberately showed it off because it's been one of his two main abilities from the start and he wants to hide Raphael, his other main ability from the start, and his other two ultimate skills. The reason for that is: Guy set up a trap during Walpurgis where only ultimate skill-users can penetrate his power-camouflage and when Rimuru did penetrate it, Guy already knew that Rimuru possessed at least one ultimate skill, so at that point Rimuru used Beelzebuth to hide his three other ultimate skills.
>>287987196Overlord is a completely different flavor of isekai but it depends on how much you love isekai honestly. Overlord is glorious if you can find a way to love the main cast.
god, i can't stop rewatching this scene...next week can't come soon enough
>>288005453I noticed CR even threw it up on the Youtube already
>>287969182JTF mogging other nations fr
>>287970739fuck i wish i could have watched that
>>287996959Good analysis, I look forward to seeing you in our future meetings.
>>287970415It's probably just a way to better plan the production instead of having to wait for permission for the next season every time. In the end these first two consecutive cours are just like the previous full seasons. At this point Tensura is one of the biggest contenders for "long-running isekai that are likely to get a full adaptation" alongside Overlord, Re:Zero and Mushoku Tensei.
>>288005453why didn't raphael stop rimuru from spazzing out
>>288006923Probably thinks he's right
>>288006923sometimes spazzing out is the wisest course of action
When that dude got shot in Tempest I just assumed Rimuru did a subtle Megiddo because his AI companion (presumably) did a calculation and suggested taking out the unstable guy and then Rimuru led the others to suspect a gun because he just hadn't got around to introducing that concept to them which is a security concern with otherworlders. Then Rimuru blindly following Raphael's suggestion leading to him getting scolded by Shuna showing that he's made a habit of just going along with its suggestions... like modern gpt zombie brains. While of course this was just me projecting unwarranted traits onto Rimuru it would still be an interesting thread to follow through to realize his schizo genie computer is making him lazy and having to put it down and get gud himself. I know, things that will never happen.
>>288005453What is that sound that always plays whenever someone does something?It's like a sound effect that plays right before an impact. Nut they literally use it for everything. I think I heard it before Rimuru drank Shion's tea that one time.
Wow Hinata is so amazing, bros. Everyone loves her and she is best at everything. should be the main character for the story from now on.
>>288007209timestamp?
