(L+CR) Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

[Stark700]

Episode 6

This episode felt really fast for some reason.

Maybe it's because how much I'm invested into this Shizu character. Got to know slightly more about her past too. I'm guessing the show will reveal more and more about her character as time passes on. Also, I think she and Rimuru has some interesting character chemistry already. (including that little joke Rimuru made)

In terms of combat, it looks like she is a fire type based on the skills shown so far.

On a comical note, I love how they get some short details on how Gobta made his escape.

When Shizu was talking about how Slime boi's line was from a game and said that she heard it from someone else from her country...did she mean Japan?

[Klashikari]

Yes. That sentence is a direct reference to Dragon Quest, that's why she immediately figured out about the joke and knew Rimuru was a former Japanese person (of course, this is quite anachronic considering the first DQ game was released on 1986). Also, the air raid was pretty much the bombing of Tokyo during WWII, hence why he felt it would have been a good idea to show a peaceful Japan and its present era.

Yeah, very anachronistic. I wonder why

Yeah. It went quite quickly. Nice relaxing episode but never felt boring. Definitely feels like setup though.

Plus what happened to her after she came to the world. That wasn't exactly subtle.

Feels strange how we know a lot about Shizu's background but almost nothing about her current motivations.

Some game memes are quite old. Another Dragon Quest one is "There's no reply. It's just a corpse".

[mickbis]

Shizu know DQ reference because someone from modern time told her

and after watching this episode again..
I don't think it mention anywhere but Black Lighting Rimuru use in this episode
is one of Veldora attack skill

[Rnzlr]

Finally something interesting happened

Spoiler for Episdoe 6 Comments/Feedback:

Nice to see everyone they brought back are helping the goblins out.

That was a rather impressive transformation and then the black lightning attack, he's too strong for his own good lol, ultimate boss monster slime.

Glad they explained how Gobta made it back to them, pretty cool how he can summon a wolf like that, very useful.

Shizu had some pretty good skills there, pretty big fireball and nice swordplay, thanks goodness Rimuru was around when she hit her limit, and yes he did meet her a lot sooner than expected.

Ifrit, no wonder Shizu is very powerful, but it's probably a curse as well, judging from when she has been a pain during this episode.

[Random Wanderer]

Poor Shizu. As if losing her mother in an air raid and nearly being burned to death wasn't enough, she's summoned to another world by an asshole who causes her to be possessed by a fire spirit.

[thundrakkon]

It's been quite a while already with the episode count, and we have yet to see Rimuru's human form. Then I notice something, and then I remembered something else.


Rimuru's human form looks similar to Shizu. The fortune teller said Shizu is destined to be with Rimuru. Add to that, we don't see Shizu as part of the group with Rimuru in the OP. Putting two and two together...

Spoiler for Guess

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Personally, I'm hoping for the happiest outcome.


The pacing of the story is a bit slower than I like, but it's still nice to watch. I'm wondering if this episode is the start of a new volume in the Light Novels?

We are still in vol 1 of the LN

I guess that's why she is fighting Rimuru in the Opening? Her summoner commanded her to do so. Because she really seems to be a very nice girl despite her fucked up past. No way she would try to kill our slime on her own will.

I did find interesting seeing the fire spirit merging with her tho. Her only power seems to be afinity to fire allowing the fusion with the spirit. I wonder who the other guy was. He not only summoned someone from other workd but also had authority over a powerful fire entity able to kick Veldora's ass :O

Proof of greatness right here. I didn't feel anything dragging too much. Everything felt right with a perfect pace. I would be surprised if it had any filler. The episode felt real fast. This studio is, surprisingly, doing a fantastic job!!

You mean the one at the last part of OP?
No, that not Shizu
The only similar they have is bring a girl with black hair

[Master_Yoma]

So Gobuta was left there hanging upside down well at less he got something out of it

Omg, i always thought it was Shizu all along for some reason. But after giving a closer look to it she does have shorter hair . Different people indeed. Thanks!

There are three different people in the OP who look alike because of black hair and more or less monochrome (black & white) clothing style.

1. Shizu
2. "The Hero" who sealed Veldora (shown in Veldora's flashback and also stands back to back with a bit of distance to Shizu in one scene during the OP)
3. "The person who fight Rimuru near the end of the OP", who also appears a bit earlier in the OP, namely when we get a frontal view of that person leaning on a sword in a church-like building with several other characters in the background.


And before any WN readers want to "point something out" about something I just wrote, yes I am aware of it (I've read up until chapter ~200), but no, there is no need to mention it.

dq reference

[Dark Wing]

I got a chance to finally binge watch the episodes and I'm impressed with the consistency of the quality. This might hint at this being a long running series.

It's 24 episodes as is, but there's plenty more material for them to do another 24, or more.

[SeaDoor]

uh... Shizu grimaced way too soon after her introduction so I'm worried the next episode is going to be downer. It's the old "a cough in the first act" thing I guess.

Also, does anyone else think Rimuru was a bit too open and chatty when he met the new characters?
