転生したらスライムだった件 第4期

“Happy Shuna, happy life” as the old saying goes, right? lol. Everyone looked pretty fashionable and adult in their outfits…then theres’s Rimuru rockin a poncho from the kid’s section lol. So adorable. I’m a bit curious what kind of bullshit the council is trying to pull with Rimuru. Whatever it is, I’m sure the little brat and her grandpa are behind it all. I look forward to the day Rimuru faces those two. Give ‘em the ol Megiddo special…

Benimaru and Souei: spends a lot of time manually choosing pieces for their casual outfit, ends up with cool drip. Rimuru: hits auto-choose, and ends up withe most childish outfit. Rimuru's rage moment at the end has meme potential. E.g. we can caption that moment with something like "Solo Leveling should win Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2026" (Yes I know it isn't nominated for that)

Damn it, I really wanna know what pissed him off so much! Everything seemed to be going smooth, only real issue was, like Rimuru said, handing over their technology. What could they have possibly added after that woulda pissed him so much? I also wanna know what the changes Raphael made were, I'm sure she came in clutch which is why they needed a whole three hours to get back to them. Anyone else wish this ep was entirely about their day off, and then next ep was just the entire meeting instead of needing to make a cliffhanger?

###Stitches! * Shuna * Benimaru * Souei When they were talking about the Duke getting assassinated from long range, and Souei not even noticing where the assassin came from, I had a thought. What are the chances that Maribel has already introduced guns into this world and has trained snipers? We know she's also another isekai-jin, so it would make sense why Souei didn't see where the shot came from. The sniper must've been so far away that it was out of his detection range. Speaking of guns, I had a good laugh at Shuna saying she could use one. Not gonna lie, I wanna see Rimuru introduce guns to Tempest just so we can see Shuna carry a Glock around with her. 😆 That final scene tho! What did they change from Rimuru's initial offer that could've pissed him that much?

Admittedly, Rimuru is cought in a shark tank, but the whole gang knew it before. His behavior in front of the arrogant council members and also in front of their Head proves that he is - at least here - still a child with insufficient diplomatic knowledge, as it is required before this Court. This isn't a demon and monster meeting like he did easily handle before. All his companions are acting much more maturely in this environment. My GOAT in this episode is Raphael. If only he could appear in front of the Council in form of a respectable, serious and skilled person. After all, an episode worth swallowing every second of it. Except of that cliffhanger.... 😉

Rimuru questioning why things were going the way they did at the end makes me wonder if Mariabelle's skill is in play somehow. Maybe the ink used was the final trigger since she did state that she had been slowly doing something to Rimuru, so I'm curious if that is the case and how Rimuru will overcome considering the situation he is in. I can't see Rimuru choosing to act in that way knowing how important this meeting is.  I was disappointed in Benimaru's casual outfit, they didn't even try with him lol. His formal wear for the meeting was so much better. Shuna looked really good and Souei looked decent. Rimuru being put in a cute outfit was no surprise lol.

I see Benimaru is also an admirer of maps. I did wish they displayed it in map format when laying down the routes the Empire can attack. Wonder what their demand was that pissed Rimuru off so much, he’s usually pretty laidback Seems there’s a sniper rifle in this world, most likely with a silencer too since there wasn’t any loud gunshot and no magic was detected. Still not convinced Yuuki is being controlled by Maribel. Or at least not fully. He may still have some autonomy or awareness of it but doesn’t want to give it away yet to see where Maribel’s plan goes

Oh man I really want to know what provision they put forth that would make Rimuru flip out like that. I have a few guesses: 1. Giving up Veldora or asking him to be sealed again. That would 1000% make Rimuru fly off the handle. 2. Unrestricted access to the Magitrain railroad he plans on building or giving up the rights to said technology. Those councilors were really persistent about that. 3. Giving up part of Tempest land as some sort of tribute to the Western Council. 4. Monsters not having equal rights as part of the Council. 5. Releasing some of the technology or research like the full potions they're creating or scientists being allowed access to Tempest's research facilities. 6. Some sort of monthly or yearly monetary payment to the council since they know how good Tempest's economy is. I'm betting it has something to do with Veldora since every country is freaking terrified of him going on some sort of rampage again. Having Veldora in his pocket is like having 1000 nukes and that's unacceptable to the council. Poor Hinata tried to warn him not to fly off the handle but to no avail lol.

- Oh wow, I didn’t realize Tempest was *that* large. - So that’s what Shuna settled on, huh? - Benimaru looks *great* in that, as does Souei. - Well, *I* certainly love them. - Hahahahaha - Shuna with a gun would be *something* alright… - Maribel “sore demo”! - I guess that works to shut them up. - Hm… - That one *does* sound good for them, though. And it’s not like Tempest has any shortage of people that can fight. - Rimuru just kicked the desk? What did they write that pissed him off? - This is a fun face from him, though.

Welcome to Engrassia! The next step in Rimuru's man-to-monster coexistence plan! I'm sure there won't be any problems or hassles along the way! When in the West, dress as the Westerners do! If only as an excuse to get some of the Tempest gang in chic casual clothes! Shuna looks so cute in that skirt and sweater! It's just too bad none of the ladies in Benimaru and Soei's life were there to see their new looks, because Rimuru could care less. Rimuru and Hinata are finally reunited! Just in time for Hinata to see Rimuru dressed in...children's clothing. But he looks as cute as a button! And doesn't that matter most? It's nice of Hinata to give Rimuru a heads up about what he can expect, though maybe he's taking this Empire too lightly? Granted, he has a point that there only means of invading would be very precarious, especially if they had to get through Veldora, but even Raphael wasn't 99% sure depending on what new information might come out. Oh yeah, count on the people from our Earth to recognize a sniper when they see one. Can you imagine Shuna with a pistol though? Maribel is "Humanity's Hope" and as such she needs to ascertain all the info she can about Rimuru, Tempest, and their true intentions while managing her agents effectively. Can she truly pull it off? Rimuru and his crew ALWAYS clean nicely, but especially now! Shuna in that outfit is S++++! Welcome to the Council of the West, home to nobles who genuinely enjoy what Tempest has to offer, haughty nobles who only seek to curry favor in the most arrogant way possible, and the balding Lester presiding over everything! And a nervous Johann. Rimuru will agree to peace, he's hesitant to agree to sharing their tech/Tempest specific items, but he'll even loan out his OP team as the most elite defense force of all time. He'll just need to have Raphael-sensei take over and do some...revisions! Even correcting the guys' speech! Welp, it was probably too much to hope this would be an uneventful signing. They just HAD to throw something in there to make Rimuru kick a table and turn into pissed off Rimuru! Hope this council survives.

Can I just say I hate the trope of characters dressing in modern clothes in a period fantasy world. I can make some really limited exceptions for shows like Eminence in Shadow where Cid introducing these products to the world is a significant plot thread/gag in the series, and you could argue that in Slime Isekai the otherworlders might had similar influences. But in this episode it just feels so stupid that they are dressed in suits and trousers that they bought from this city and NOBODY ELSE in the city is wearing anything similar. The only version of this trope that bothers me even more are the shows where some organization, usually the "Guild" had all their workers dressed like Japanese office workers meanwhile everyone else in the world is in like tunics.
