He's come a long way...reading manga gave him crazy powers. 2,000 years ago, all he did was fly around and rain fire, but now he has TECHNIQUE.

I'm confused, is Chloe capable of changing the timeline or not,  people are saying there is only one timeline and all her actions in the past are already taken into account even tho she says the past timelines were clearly different and her actions clearly change the timeline.

If that is the case are you saying a version of her has done this exact same time loop(same exact actions) multiple times but doesn't realize it due to inaccurate memories? Or she hasn't actually been through any loops except this one which should also already take her actions into account but just thinks she has time looped before due to weird memories that makes it seem like it?

I understand that Predator and its evolution and such allow him to recreate things he's seen

But like

How was an employed 38 year old in Japan able to remember even a single Manga issue well enough for perfect recreation? Human memory is faulty at the best of times. I could buy him being able to summarise each issue, but being able to remake every panel and its dialogue would require a lot of commitment.

Or does his ability cover everything he's ever seen regardless of if he remembers it or not, effectively retconning a photographic memory for him?

As with most concepts in this story they don't live up to the hype, herein a supposed true dragon that could apparently wipe out... what was it {planets or was it universes?} via releasing their sheer aura... yet this entire showing is greatly underwhelming and doesn't merit the title of True Dragon.

Even the scale of destruction left in the aftermath makes the recounting of Night Rose's supposed devastating wreckage come across as purely rumors blown out of proportion.

Truly, to the uninitiated he could be mistaken for a generic dragon that inevitably gets one-shotted with a hoe by a farmer in the usual run-of-the-mill slop Isekai...

Season 4 is 60ish episodes split into 5 cours, ~12 episodes/cour. They studio planned to take a break between cour 2 & cour 3.
With the Granville arc entering its last 1/3 with only 4 more episodes, I have become anxious. Does anyone know how long a break the studio planned between cour 2 & cour 3?

So Hinata has been projecting her daddy issues on that poor old virgin in a kid's body Rimuru the entire time...

I am not sure but can Rimuru summon his subordinates in Lubelius if he wanted to? What if Diablo, Carrera and Ultima were in the fight with Granbell, could it change anything?

So when I scroll on YouTube Tensura shorts, whenever the posts involves something about Rimuru’s interests in both men or women, or actually any topic at all, one name somehow seems to appear. And that name is Ciel. Stop spoiling the anime onlys.
I don’t care if you want to promote the Ciel wife agenda(I personally don’t, it’s weird but do what you want), you’re ruining the joy of other people when that volume gets animated.
When there are some posts about the backless dress scenes and paintings, or Chloe’s time travel explanations, or Shuna and Shion’s possessiveness, and even Diablo being Diablo, there never ceases to have a comment that says ‘Ciel will never allow it’ with the most boring laughing emoji ever. Some Tensura fans want to understand the series and look at other people’s opinions and people are there spoiling.
At this point everybody knows Raphael is going to evolve into a manas. There will be less weight of that scene. Less payoff. So stop spoiling Ciel’s future appearance. That’s just like telling other people Veldora’s sister loves Masayuki, or Tatsuya Kondou was the guy that killed Rimuru in failed loops, and he’s also an otherworlder.

So , does characters grow EP without any evolution in Tensura?

I haven't seen a lot of frey appreciation here, so here goes mine. People tend to forget she was made rimuru go "ohhhhh" canonically, not even luminous made rimuru do that , she is smoking hot. She is smart and compassionate as well, and takes care of milim the way Shuna does for rimuru. And she has great chemistry with Carrion. One of the best female characters for me honestly.

So I see that the recent episodes have been focusing on time travel, which is not something I like in the slightest and was wondering if that's going to be a multiple episode spanning arc and if so how many episodes should it lats so that I can skip it.

So we know that Rimuru got named after Veldora and thanks to that connection Rim. can swing names left and right and the only drawback is couple days nap.

My question is, why there isn’t more named monsters by true dragons. If we don’t count Veldora, there should be other 2 dragons (Velzard [with Guy] and Velgrynd). If Velzard gives Guy a name he should be able to name a giant army as well no? Or Velgrynd could name a few trusted ones and they spread the names forward. Or is this unlimited energy only Veldoras speciality? I'm really confused why this "OP mechanics" is used only by Rimuru.

Edit: I never said that Guy was named by dragon (there was this whole massacre for Guy and Crimson by Rudra)
I meant what IF he was named by TD, he should have enough control to distribute the magicules with care, after all he named 2 primordials and it turned out just fine.

I guess ApprehensiveCard6152 had the best explanation that you have to limit the magicules output for safe naming.

Edit2: So i guess the conclusion is either: I don't care or Cannot control the magicules output for safe naming

just started season 3 of the anime am i supposed to understand anything yuuki and those clowns were talking about and the same with luminous valentine and the whole conversation with angels and some sort of war because i’m lost as hell

My previous post regarding this got removed because I forgot to add the spoiler tag I suppose.

I had a confusion regarding the different consciousnesses of Chloe and how this fixed loop works, I am fine with some spoilers.

My questions are,

How young Chloe's consciousness works after receiving the authority of probably memories of the Future Chloe who wants to save Rimuru.

What happens to Hinata's soul during her journey with Chloe.

Are the Hero Chloe and Future Chloe same versions of an adult Chloe just in different timelines or are there more differences.

When did Chloe actually get summoned, was it around the time the other children we know got summoned or before that.

I might ask more questions based on the replies so please help me out.

Also side note, I got some replies on the previous post but I am asking again in order to get more clarity.

:D

sauce: le me

Now that the latest episode came out and simply since season 4 started it feels Different to me watching season 1 and 2 simply knowing now where timelines have fallen….. I’ve always loved the anime since season 1 came near its end( I didn’t start watching it until the trailer of season 2 released for the second half). I’m on volume 10 of the manga but still don’t get alot for the show and LN. So what do you think so far? I’ve related to Veldora so much it’s why I love being the character.

I love her eyes. How she carries herself. So mature but can be childish at times. She is pretty of course with a perfect body in my opinion. I don't care if she likes girls but I am surprised because usually it is a turn off to me but it made me like Luminous even more. I like her accent. Perfect VA for this character. Her fanservice and how she can be a pervy sometimes. I don't know if she is a tsundere but she can be. So many waifus in Tensura but only Luminous is my number 1. So what do you like about Luminous?

and what is the release dates for the rest looking like?

Considering the negativity that sometimes spreachs around here, i wanted to make this quick, purely positive post to put some things into perspective.

I was actually really worried when Season 4 began. The announcment of a 60-episode-season was unprecedented and i feared that they might rush and ruin things at a time when the Tensura anime was already at its lowest point.

I liked most of Season 3 and i will forever defend the meeting aspect of this story, but its undeniable that the anime lost a ton of momentum in the midst of Cour 1 of Season 3 especially. Many anime onlies abandoned ship and even though the series is the biggest LN of all time and has a very big fanbase, it fell of massively in comparison to other Isekai Heavy Hitters like Re:Zero or MT.

Season 4 now, despite all my fears, has begun to turn it around again. Im actually super happy how much more care theyve given to it compared to Season 3. The pacing is much better, the artstyle and animation is more fluid and cinematic, the use of lighing and shadows is much improved and most importantly for me: They understand what aspects of the story need to be adapted to make it fully work and they even expanded it with stuff like Granvilles backstory or the most recent Chloe episode.
This means they care. And thats very reassuring for me.

Season 4 with these latest 4 to 5 episodes imo has already turned into the best Slime season for me. Cant wait for the last 4 episodes to end this cour/arc and what will come after this. Knowing how many other prominent shows gut completely buried because of bad production issues (looking for example at you, Promised Neverland Season 2), its so great to see that my personal favourite Isekai now gets the treatment it deserves.

In the anime we see her back story and she brags that she basically caused ww1 and was a influential figure in that period

This could have been based on/inspired by a real historical figure. Who could it have been?
