S4 Episode 19 is out
i can't believe rimuru is fucking dead
why is rimiru nerfed so hard this arc?she should be far far stronger than granville but he just lets hinata and chloe almost die for no reason
>>290315692cannon events are needed to happen.and his motive atm is "play fool, get info", so defeating him in one go doesn't help him.
Rimuru the super-satan expended a lot of energy naming hundreds of devils please understand.
after he got to smugly gloat for 2 episodes basically unopposed, this better end with Granville, the clowns and Yuuki all getting killed in humiliating ways.
>>290315692Fuze can't write fights
>>290316026I hope you like Yuuki very much :^)
>>290316071the jobber
>>290316076I very much don't, but I was kinda expecting him to make it out alive. Again.It's just annoying when the author decides to constantly annoy you with a character to make you want to see them lose, but then they get away with it anyway.It's why I could never get into US comics like Batman, those are just ragebait.
>>290316108why so serious?
everyone is reincarnated and have their own bullshiti like it
>>290315584>I'll lend you a breastWhat did grandpa mean by this?
granvillle really is the hero of the wrong story huh
Granville has huge hero cock he penetrated all of them
Meetings?
>>290316145>>290316175My cute 2000 year old loli wife
>>290316250you should check out Ishura if you haven't already
>>290316336There's no meeting room available this week and the schedule opening is next week at the earliest
I for one am tired of these nonsensical bullshit fight scenes and nonsensical chuuni loredumps
I for one am very excited for these awesome kino fights scenes and kino chuuni loredumps
FUCK chloe
>>290316474in the ASS
Stitches.
>>290316050What is the point of Demon Lords if Heroes are this OP?
Will Yuki finally stop pretending to be a good person?
Last stitch.
can't wait until our slime KING absolutely mogs this """secret weapon""" and grandpa pisses his pants when he realizes who he's been messing with
i can't believe hinata is fucking DEAD
>>290316644Yes and no
>>290316623She got an hole in the chest... Again...She is really useless
I've only read the manga and is this the first and only loop where rimuru becomes a true demon lord and that chloe calls it the hope route, meaning every other loop is a failure? is hinata also always traveling back with her each time?
What exactly is Yuki's objective here ?
Grandpa has nothing to lose and nothing to piss his pants about, he's like a disgruntled employee saying fuck you to everyone on his way out.
>>290316623that piece of shit mary sue deserves to dieeven more than yuuki
>>290316247>>290316462WHAT
>>290316071Jobber
>>290316071fuck, i missed the yamcha pose
>>290315692battles have always been the weakest part of this series
I have no fucking clue what's going on
Why did Crunchyroll translated Diablo's dialogue "Sorry for being late" to "What took so long, Great Rimuru"Do these translators not know Japanese anymore??
>>290316336We'll get a meeting next week between Chloe, Hinata's spirit and Luminus
>>290316876> is hinata also always traveling back with her each time?Chloe only timeloops whenever Hinata dies, what's what her ability does.>meaning every other loop is a failure?Ze
>>290317652>Chloe only timeloops whenever Hinata dies, what's what her ability does.Yeah I know that's what triggers it, I just didn't know if hinata going back was also part of it. Like I thought there might have been loops where hinata dies but doesn't also travel back
Well, we've finally caught up to the manga, although the anime has certainly shown parts that the anime hasn't really featured yet, like Yuuki appearing and the hero being awaken. Also it's funny that in the manga Luminus doesn't even take a hit against Maria's corpse, and never realizes what the plan of the invasion was until she gets to peek at the Ark.>>290317719Yeah, if Chloe fails to save Hinata's soul from the abyss, then she loops back again, so you can easily guess that Chloe spent quite a few loops guessing how to save Hinata's from her slumber.
>>290316462Is that the starting mountain cave where Rimuru spawned at the beginning?
>>290317781Is it ever shown/discussed how the loop initiates?
>>290317988Nah, that's the place where Lubelius' Empire will be built on.
Let me guess, and be right. Nothing bad will actually happen and the stupid slime will fix everything and get stronger. Let me keep guessing, she's Shizu or some shit. She will fawn over the stupid slime as well. Gran will be heckin' defeated and medetashi medetashi
>>290316878No one including the author knows
>>290318042You mean as in the first loop?If so, then no, at least not in the manga.
>>290318062>she's Shizu or some shitWrong.She's Hinata's soul in Chloe's over 2000 years old body.
>>290316071>>290316122>>290316200I'm sorry I asked for more action, this isn't what I wanted. Can we go back to having meetings again?
>>290318072Yeah, the first loop and what makes the looping start in the first place. Is it talked about in the LN?
>>290318116The looping starts whenever Hinata dies, and then Chloe has to waddle through the years time and time again until the outcome is one where Hinata doesn't fucking die. It is shown in the manga, however, that Chloe was the reason why Hinata made it in time to fight against Rimuru for the first time, which in time was the result was to why the entire Tempest city got destroyed and killed, which fully committed Rimuru into becoming a Demon Lord.
>>290317781>Well, we've finally caught up to the manga LMAO, no. Next ep title has "part one" attached, so it will be (at least) two more episodes until it catches up to where the manga is right now and a new manga chapter will release before the next episode as well, so it's actually (at least) 3 episodes until the anime catches up or gets past the manga. I guess the anime will include some details from LN vol. 12 and some new original parts if they actually make "Chronoa, The Hero" take up 2 or more episodes so the information doesn't have to be repeated. For cours 3, 4 and 5... if they want to get to that one big moment early in LN vol. 15, then it means that LN vol. 12 will definitely be sacrificed the most in terms of skipped content.
>>290315584Holy shit writing. Good thing I'm only watching this show for the brainless action.
>>290318274Then you must've absolutely fucking hated the 2nd part of the 3rd season.
>You've reached your Ciel limit. You will automatically switch to Raphael-mini until your limit resets.
>>290318274the action is by far the worst part of this series, what the fuck are you doing with your life?
>>290318172No, I meant like what caused the first loop to happen? I'm assuming the world had to have existed before Chloe was summoned, and then Chloe was summoned, then got sent back in time for the first time. Does any of the material discuss what caused the first time loop? Or does it just leave the paradox unaddressed?
>>290318274Posts like these make me wonder how many posts are actually just bait posts from people who never saw/read any media of the franchise in question aside from random tiktok/yt-shorts and just pretend to know what it is about from clips, rumors and the pics posted in the thread.
>>290318434Unless someone read the LN, I'm gonna guess it's unaddressed.
>>290318245>Next ep title has "part one" attachedah fuck i forgot about thati was hoping it could get through it all in 1 ep
I really hope we don't get more time travel shenanigans after this besides the whole ending and the causation paradox
>>290318452oh wellnot like the old timeline would be relevant anyway, i supposemaybe it would be cool to have the universe to have been created in media res with the loop already established right when chloe was summoned
>>290318646I mean, we can basically guess this is the timeline where everything goes just fine, despite Hinata dying.
>>290318434NTA, but the final LN volume heavily hints that There is no "first loop" at all because it involves a bootstrap paradox that necessitates that there is always an (n-1)th loop.
IT'S TIME
I'm mixed.Happy to see Luminas getting btfoAnnoyed at more Yuuki wankLaughed at the magic beam skewering and the hamfisted death sceneDreadfully bored of Chloe and not looking forward to her getting wanked even harder
>>290318825This is, by definition, Chloe's wank season, so strap in for some more.Personally I wish we could get a Veldora season for once.
It's also very funny that NOWHERE in the manga does Lion ever block Granville's shot, and yet in the anime he does (and fails to do so).
>>290318992Probably thought that Leon just watching the girl he is obsessed with get obliterated seemed dumb as fuck.
>>290315692Power scaling of this show has always been all over the place, but its just really noticeable in episodes like this. To say you need to turn your brain off to enjoy episodes like this is an understatement.
>>290316876Technically Chronoa ends up as a manas (a higher being with authority over time). That level of existence implies a true or fated existence in nature. As such you should consider all the previous loops as necessary steps for it´s creation rather than failures. Chloe is always thrown back in time, Hinata always names her skill Chronoa (which gives it an ego), they attempt to change the timeline, fail, Rimuru recovers the skill/information/spirit and fuses it with Chloe to save her life and the loop repeats itself with slight changes (like Rimuru becoming a demon lord) until Chronoa becomes the manas that triggers the whole thing. It´s not necessarily a conscious process but since the manas exists outside of causality in manas form the words of the world will lead the outcome that way.
>>290319032It's also worth saying that in the manga...>Hinata gives her sword to Chloe before dying, not a pendant>Chloe freezes time before timelooping, making everyone else unable to move, the only one who realizes this is RimuruNeither of these things happen in the anime
>>290315835One second those super devils are powerful enough to destroy the world, along with people like Milim and Veldora, the next second Granville is akshually the strongest and akshually wait here's some time bitch we just made up and she's akshually even stronger (until we show Rimuru oneshotting her in the next moment and saving the day because akshually Rimuru is the strongest). Its just dog shit writing. Zero internal consistency.
>>290316626True Heroes are the conceptual equivalent to True Demon Lords.
>>290319098>Chloe freezes time before timelooping, making everyone else unable to move, the only one who realizes this is RimuruTo me, an anime only, I got the impression that time was indeed frozen and only Rimuru noticed.
There is nothing worse than time loop faggotry in any story. It is pretty much always the automatic death of the story.
Can't wait until everyone sees that Hinata has deeply bound daddy issues which is why she likes Rimuru so much.>>290319188Yes, but Rimuru was able to talk and move slightly in the anime, which defeats the whole purpose of the timefreeze.
wtf just happen
>>290319268It seems like the loli timelooped
why does the author like the piece of shit hinata so much?she's the worst character of the series
does the author really expect me to believe hinata will stay deadcome on, nothing has consequences ever in tensura
i don't understand anything anymore
>>290319320>she's the worst character of the seriesNah, that's Yuki.
>>290319085nyaruhodo
>>290319320>>290319382It's actually R*muru
>>290319404t. Yuki/Grandville
Anons were shitting on Granville a few threads back, but he has caused quite a bit of trouble. It's admirable.
>>290319117 >the next second Granville is akshually the strongest The source for this information is that you made it the fuck up. >akshually wait here's some time bitch we just made up and she's akshually even stronger You mean the one shown to have bested Veldora in season 1 episode 1? Are you retarded?
>>290319464He's just a resentful old fart whose plans didn't go his way, and now he's throwing a last shitfit before getting curbstopped.
>>290316071lmao
Daily reminder that Chronoa will suck Rimuru's dick next week
i'm so confused
>>290319085NTA but reminds me of the stuff with madoka accumulating power through multiple timeloops
>>290318109If Rimuru isn't gonna fuck Shuna then he should absolutely pass on the controller, I will give her many children.
>>290319507I guess "part 1" will show the Chloe/Hinata side, and then "part 2" will show the Chronoa side that is normally only revealed in vol. 12
>>290319478I know that character was already established, but who the fuck wants to see more of her? Oh wow there's time loop shenanigans and she's super powerful, and she's actually several different characters, wow, great. You have to be a literal retard to enjoy this shit.God, I just wanted citybuilding and meetings.
>>290319588Yeah most likely. The entire Chloe/Hinata journey was cleared in a single manga chapter anyway, and we've been clearing like 2 to 4 manga chapters per anime episode.
>>290319592Now you know how Dragonball fans felt when it turned into DBZ and beyond.
Stitches from previous threadshttps://overbooru.world/post/list/artist%3Astitches-anon%20copyright%3Atensei_shitara_slime_datta_ken/
This artist sure fucking LOVES drawing naked Hinata
>>290319994Too bad that it looks so unerotic in this art style
i hate how rushed this has been so far. Every episode is like 3-4 manga chapters and they just brush over pretty much everything other than the flashy fights
For all his bluster, Granville seems to have no idea what the fuck he's doing.
>>290320431No bro, you don't get it, it's all part of his master plan (whatever the fuck that plan is)
>>290317552You know that all of their subs are now generated by literal JewGPT?
>>290320431What is he actually doing? Is it just that she sealed Veldora before so he thinks she can kill the demon lords easily?
>>290320431Spitting in Luminas' face is the plan
>>290320758He doesn't know ANYTHING about this chick and how she is going to react after being unfrozen. He just assumes that because she's a Hero, she will hate the demon lords exactly the way he does. It's such a dumb, irrational belief and yet it is apparently the cornerstone of his entire plan. If this doesn't work, then he's just going to get ripped limb from limb by Luminus while two other demon lords spectate, ready to burn what's left him to ashes.
No meeting and almost no sport cars.This episode was meh.
>>290320884Rimuru really hired some of the most powerful entities in the world and immediately relegated them to doing boring white collar jobs.
>>290320884The newly acquired sports cars won't be appearing for a while.
rimuru should have a meeting to discuss his over reliance on meetings to convey his plans to his subordinates. and of course there needs to be tits there.
so basically this is chloe?
>>290321362That's Hinata's spirit in Chloe's body, yes
>>290321382interesting
>>290321209I know.>>290321200>doing boring white collar jobsI want more white collar.Hypercompetent sport cars doing relatively mundane things sounds amazing.
>>290320884no Milim either
>>290321503Milim is being reprimanded by Frey after fucking off for weeks taking care of her baby dragon pet.
>>290321362>>290321382Nope. Both wrong. Though "in a way" it also both right.
>>290315692To me it makes sense, at least from the information at hand Rimuru was just trying to learn what the fuck was going on while underestimating the enemies, Granville is a "true hero" and for what I can understand he's stronger than everyone else here except a few characters, Rimuru always does the same thing too so is not out of character.>oh yeah I can win but I would make the world explode, I better do something elseThe only observation I would make is Rimuru mild reaction to Hinata dying, I was expecting more from that.
>>290320819Do you think Rosso's plan is nonsensical? At least he has the excuse of going mad after his beloved was killed. BUT WHAT ABOUT YUKI? The moment he released Chronoa from the Holy Ark, his job was done! He could leave the girl behind a bush while everyone was distracted and get the hell out of there. BUT NOOOO. Surely revealing himself in front of THREE demon lords, ALONG with his whole gang, was the best course of action. Not only he also knows nothing about Chronoa as well as SHE ATTACK HIM, I SHIT YOU NOT. What the fuck this mofo was thinking!?!?! I swear to God, it was the same thing with Mariabell, everytime those giga brain antagonists give up on their behind-the-scenes schemes and go the le epic entrance THEY GET FUCKING DEMOLISHED HOLY FUKC!!!!!
>>290322902>Rimuru mild reaction to Hinata dying2bh he expected Luminus to revive her, and after Hinata truly died the focus went solely to her, not Rimuru.
>>290315584gomen rimuru-sama, hell mode was just better today.go back to meetings soon.
>>290323115>2bh he expected Luminus to revive herOh right, she does that. In fact this isn't even the firs time he's seen Hinata "die"
>>290323045Man, I stopped trying to make sense of Yuuki's shtick ages ago. Dude could have the most chill life ever and he goes out of his way to be an asshole for no reason.
>>290323045I honestly see no reason as to why Chronoa should go and attack any of the demon lords, since she should supposedly know who all of them are, and I severely doubt Yuuki has any ability that re-writes a FUCKING HERO's mind to go berserk or some shit.
>>290323244>>290323306It made more sense in the WN where he's the last boss but somehow the author changed lots of shit and made everything worse by making him into some sort of midboss and space bugs that came out of nowhere as last boss
This episode was trash
