転生したらスライムだった件 第4期

I don't think the hero has been explicitly named yet even though she's been so important to so many characters and aspects of the story (and her face is always hidden when we see her), but with the way things are going, some huge reveal of who she is is obviously being built up, with her identity somehow being related to the bizarre network of relationships that is Shizu, Hinata, Rimuru, Chloe, that spirit that entered Chloe at the dwelling of spirits and kissed Rimuru for some reason, the mask that's been passed between all of them, and somehow Luminous and Veldora (who was sealed by the hero in the first place) too. I also have no idea why Leon wants Chloe, but I suspect its also related somehow. Needless to say, I think the rest of this season is going to have a lot of massive lore moments and reveals and I am turning my head over and over with crazy theories...

I was thinking early in the episode that it's kind of wild to think back in light of all the world-shaking events the last few seasons and remember Rimuru had an arc where he was just playing school teacher. But of course then I got reminded that there's something unique about Chloe, so that arc was really just setup well in advance for where we seem to be going now. If anything, I guess Rimuru's geopolitical exploits have probably been more of a sidequest than fulfilling Shizu's request to teach the kids was.

Not really, it's just that Jaune is a sore loser. Fighting with her is pointless because the moment you're about to defeat her she simply runs away denying her defeat, only to come back and shoot nuclear magic at you the moment you turn your back. We saw it during her fight with Diablo too. Furthermore, Primordial Demons are immortal just like True Dragons so, even if Leon managed to kill her, she'd simply come back to nuke his country. Leon knows that it's a lost cause, so he simply put up barriers around his domain and moved on.

The Demon Lords have never been more then 2/3 actual Demon Lords thanks to Ramiris and they're end of the day literally just a social club who make their own (mostly non-)rules. Deeno is a fallen angel which dare I suggest makes him more of a peer to a primordial devil, the fairy queen, and dragon brat of destruction then to latecomers like Leon or Clayman. Now Clayman was basically wanted to succeed Kazalim his former master and to really do that he needed to become a True Demon Lord which Rimuru 'screwed up' so the grudge is personal. And being a big chunni Clayman certainly had strong ideas of what a Demon Lord should be... but that's still well away from like some grand scheme to purge the Great 10 of pretenders. And even if he did Deeno is the dude's anti-thesis. No empire, no subordinates, nothing to scheme against or undermine. He can only be taken down in a direct confrontation... which in anime logic means Deeno could probably dust Clayman's clown ass with only 5% of his power or somesuch

The council has no idea who they're dealing with. And I mean that in a literal sense. They have never seen Testarossa before. She has no known feats. She hides her aura so well she appears human to everyone who lacks a very high tier appraisal skill. And they were hoping for a Tempest to send a human representative. They're just going to assume based on what they want to see. They'll be thrilled to have Testarossa be chosen for the job. Someone human. Who they can relate to. (Or maybe manipulate?) And no one's going to tell them.

It goes beyond that. Right now the only 2 humans to ever drop the "primordial" name were Razen (that one court mage from Falmuth) and that one demon hunter during the Diablo vs the seven days clowns. And both absolutely freaked the fuck out. Diablo even congratulated Razen for knowing about it, and Diablo is definitely not one to Glaze anything not Slime shaped. This is like Mariabell not knowing ultimate skills exist. The audience just has a massively privileged point of view on how the upper level of the world works.

Rimuru is very strong. but currently his individual power is more in the middle of the Demon Lords. I think Leon is above him still somewhat, but it's fairly similar. The Primordials are not just scary because of their Auras. It is the sheer amount of skill they can wield their abilities with. They are the absolute masters of their craft. Though don't get me wrong. Any of the Demon Lords can give a Primordial a very good fight and will very likely win. But not without getting their nation fucked over. However, that is without a name or body. When given a name and body. Any of the Primordials would be powerful enough to be a Demon Lord themselves.

TBF, we've never seen Diablo strut his stuff with anyone whose strength is independently known. He did slap around Ramen Razen, but it was clear he was only toing with his food... that and he hadn't been named yet. The only other fights of note, were last episode with Carrera and Ultima. However, these are new characters whose power-levels are similarly unknown. It was clear Diablo wasn't struggling with them, and to make matters fuzzier, they immediately get multiple power boosts (incarnate + named). We can only go by context clues, like Elmasia getting serious around Diablo and breaking her composure when Rimuru casually remarked he could 'take care of' a rampaging Diablo. That was the one, and only, time Elmasia has been caught off guard. Which is telling, because the strong and otherwise unflappable Gavel "Chad" Dwargo acts like a henpecked child around her. She's the only person to make Gazel nervous, and Diablo is hte only one to make HER nervous. That, and the two other people that realized Diablo is primordial immediately hit a BSOD ( Ramen Razen and that veteran Demon Hunter) So, we can tell Diablo is supposed to be a big deal, but just where does he sit in the pecking order? Stronger than everyone but Rimuru? A rival to Rimuru in power? Between Sion and Benimaru? Dunno. Combined with his "rowdy puppy Rimuru keeps on a short leash" shtick, people may be lulled into underestimating him. But there have been several clues that Diablo is one of the absolute most terrifying residents of Tempest. Which is all the more hilarious, because Rimuru clearly has no fucking clue that his "rowdy little goober" is one of the oldest and most infamous beings in all of creation.

There was no reason for him to summon Veldora. If Rimuru really wanted to solve problems by force he could have just used more force himself. I have a feeling that seriously playing the Veldora card (who was technically protecting Tempest and we know what happened the last time it wasn't protected enough) would end up destroying a lot. Besides that keeping all his trump cards hidden has served Rimuru quite well so far. Even though a lot of that wasn't really intentional (at least by him).
