Spoiler:

yes they did, in LN12 Diablo SHUT THE DOOR on Guy's face when Guy try to join Rimuru uninvited for a meeting, then wanting to tell his story (long, very long) to Guy to the point Guy beats a quick retreat after the meeting is over.

there is a gaiden call "Rimuru's diary", it is in chapter...4 now? brand new side stories that really need to be put in the anime, go check it out.

Spoiler:

yes it is, in LN11 Veldora asks Rimuru to release Ifrit from his stomach so Veldora can have an assistant just like Ramires's Beretta. since Rimuru was preparing bodies for the incoming demons he used one of the spare one, specially infused with Veldora's maho and have Ifrit possess that body.

fun fact: Ifrit initially reappears looking like an Indian GODDESS, the sex change is due to Veldora messing with him while both inside Rimuru's stomach, however, after Veldora gives him a name he was able to return to his male look due to his own wish,

but the LN is already at book 12, we only have two major arcs left, the battle vs the eastern empire and vs angels. (probably 4-5 books?)

you can try to use the danger scale for guide, just list characters whom are A+, S and S+,

another side effect of being resurrected is now she is hard to kill with fast recovery.

[Ultragunner]

^ thanks for all dem details
darn it, I wish I knew Japanese to read all those new LN materials, I've only caught up with the WN.

about the danger ranking though, the WN just does a really bad job at at IMO
Pretty much all I see is "above rank A" , even "Special S Rank" for Demon Lords and True Dragon is vastly misleading

If we go by the danger level and taking Rimuru's rank as a basis, then I'd do it like this:

Rimuru: SSS+ (according to wikia), this signifies the highest level of danger , because not only he is one of the most powerful and broken beings in the world, he also has a dozen of True Demon Lord-level subordinates a.k.a

Guy, Milim and the 3 True Dragons (Veldora, Velzard, Velgrynd) should be SS?

Diablo, Benimaru, Zegion and the gang should be S?

I don't even know anymore

[tsunade666]

I'm talking about shion' s ultimate skill of susanoo and not her cook skill. she awakens her ultimate skill during dagruel' s battle but the usage wasn't mentioned much. Shion is too weak to use it to it's fullest so veldora had aided to ended it.

[Ultragunner]

I guess [Susano] is an upgraded version of [Cook] then

[Ultragunner]

dunno if I can double-post, but no one has replied so...heh:

I just read through the rest of the WN via Google Translate (lol) because I couldn’t take it anymore , now I have some questions

Spoiler for WN ending:

What happened to Rudra?
It seems that he was able to reincarnate once again and Velgrind is looking for him in the epilogue?

[tsunade666]

I tried to read it once with google translate but its too much scramble so I didn't bother.

You can double post if the post has 30 minutes interval.

I don't have a clue. If it were me, I would prefer if they just eat that looser spaghetti's soul.

the fight with Dagruel is not one of my favor arc, too long and drag out, I think I will skip reading it again.

Chinese had full translation, I had read up to LN #12, and web novel the portion after that. I had not read the web novel portion that the LN overwrote.

and IMO, LN is better than web, but the one that is really good is the manga rewrote, the story becomes much leaner and streamline. I also prefer the manga character design to LN.

Spoiler:

yes. she found him pretty easily, and start another legend of a brave and his dragon companion, but as the author said, that is another story.

Agree, I like how Author really care about his work
he basically rewrite some part and made it even better for newer version
Which in this case the manga

normally I don't buy both LN and Manga at the same time but this one really worth it
and it even include side story and diary at the end of each book if they didn't reach page limit yet

[Ultragunner]

yeah, the word “draft” never fits better for the WN

dunno if I can discuss the untranslated WN here, but I will still use spoiler tag

Spoiler for WN:

I almost flipped when Veldora gets bullied by his two sisters lol , so much for boasting eh, but that’s what you get for being a naughty dragon

it seems like Velgrind really does care about Rudra, if Veldanava had not forbidden the act of making children with human (the child would take all the power from the dragon parent), I’d imagine those would have had plenty kids?

Velzard is definitely a tsundere
Velzard and Guy are a bit....complicated? But I guess they genuinely care for one another

Now that I think about it, all of the True Dragons have been really committed to their “partners” eh? really nice, those dragons

One last thing, there seems to be a literal “waifu war” in the ending where the girls are arguing about who would Rimuru’s legal/no.1 wife ? Shuna vs Shion vs Milim? Will Chloe be joining the fray?
And if I’m not mistaken, even Ciel is proclaiming herself as the wife?

Also, Dino is a lot stronger than I thought, but he has another Ultimate Skill called [Fallen King Lucifer]? Two “Lucifer”?

[tsunade666]

I remember I read it somewhere, where Chloe slipping through while the others where arguing. True Dragons are OTP. Look at Rimuru and Veldora

really hate Rudra! Ate my hate you spaghetti king! You're a big disappointment!

[Ultragunner]

^ why do you hate him so much?

[tsunade666]

hi been hope too much. since the beginning, his empire was mentioned an all with huge army but in the end. he loose his mind! he didnt even fight! he got easily killed by that cool heck I prefer that cool than him. as a villain. his annoying at most and a huge mosquito as least. his a huge disappointment.

[mickbis]

damn Manga vol 6 already sold out on local Animate....
glad that it is popular here but I can't get my hand on one copy orz

btw above spoiler is correct
and Rimuru waifu is also correct as in all of them compete for him despite poor guy still didn't have his little brother back

[Hata]

and Rimuru will NEVER get “his little brother back”. the only way he could is if Ciel helps him, and Ciel won’t allow it so she can keep Rimuru to herself.

[Ultragunner]

^ is there a short story about that, or it’s just implied?

poor Rimuru, even Benimaru got some

Well its clearly implies by Rimuru that Masayuki (dude with fucking Plot Armor like mr satan from dragon ball and King from one punch man) was Rudra's reincarnation and there's legend about hero's party with Demon (venom) Talking Dragon (velgrind) and Talking Sword (basically a sword which created by Rimuru and infused with a copy of Rudra created by Velda).

Well actually he could create a dick just like in the manga thought (where he try to humanized with Shizue as the base for the first time).

There's a reason why even USA didn't employ more Soldier than China you know despite their outstanding Manpower and Industry since Number alone doesn't guarantee Victory (cough "Soviet Union" cough)

And Rudra only saw them as Fodder cannon since he only expect them to evolve into sage with ridicurously inefficient tactics unlike Ruminas which the main reason why rudra order the beast corps to invade Holy Empire Ruberious thought thanks to Veldora which completely act outside Rudra's expectation and he arbitrarily send Velgrind to buy time in order to allow him to dominate Rudra which let rimuru to send his stronger Army in term of Firepower since the weakest of Black Corps's member already far stronger than Named Arch Demon.

even an Unnamed Arch Demon only Could be deal with 6 A rank Holy Knight that use Holy Magic and Holy Barrier to weaken those Demon at the same time while those Chimera Knight barely reach an A rank while most of them are Inferior A rank (A- Rank) yet didn't have an effective mean against Demon while the beast rider is only a B rank which is weaker than Karion's Griphon Rider.

Rudra's arrogance bring him into ruin just like Adolf Hitler, Claytard and Kagurazaka Yuuki since he overestimate those Sage ability while he clearly know that Guy only need to kill 10 thousand to evolve into A True Demon Lord yet he never thought Rimuru's subordinate will evilve thanks to his Army's a Million's soul.
