| Well if you're going to kill an important character, at least spent an episode on it so that this really sinks in and one can feel the sombreness that engulfed Rimuru, prepare for a change in his attitude and its consequences. But no, spending half an episode on Elf Tavern and pointless bath scenes is more important I think. What a frickin joke this episode was. |

| am i the only one who thought shions chance of revival was just thrown into the story???????? there was 0 foreshadowing or a moment where revival was stated ever in the story, unless i dont remember. if it wasnt then thats super dissapointing. |
| oh my! a truly great episode! Rimuru plans to be a True Demon Lord by eliminating 10,000 humans from Kingdom of Falmuth! i wanna see that satisfying no mercy brutal revenge of Rimuru! And good news about the resurrection even if it has 3.14% percentage of attaining it! still very low but this is probability so it CAN happen! 5/5. |
 |
| As a light novel reader, I wished they would have stopped last weeks episode with showing the part when they reveal Shions body. It would have left a huge hole in everyones heart. Fans wouldn't be able to wait for the next episode. Otherwise, the fairy tale was nice and now lets just have a silent moment for those 10k soldiers marching towards Tempest. |

| It's funny how ppls are all raging at Rimuru found a way to revive the dead. But if you think about it, it's all pure luck. Rimuru needed to have the condition to become a Demon Lord (which for monsters is VERY rare, either need to be some special monster like godly dragon, or consume another Demon Lord) And he got lucky the enemies got multi-layer barriers in place that have a chance of keeping the souls inside. Without the barriers, they will just come back as mindless zombies... so gotta thanks the enemies for that I guess, lol. Also, this revive will only work once, probably, since it only triggers when one becomes a Demon Lord. I doubt Rimuru can somehow revert and become Demon Lord over and over... now lets just have a silent moment for those 10k soldiers marching towards Tempest. 20k+10-ish royals and king you mean, LOL. Rimuru going for overkill here. And ppls are mad Rimuru wasn't going to go on a rampage... LUL (destroying majority of a kingdom's army and king isn't rampaging at all -Millim approve, gotta destroy more countries) |

| Does Tempest have refrigeration? If mlt those bodies are gonna be pretty gamey when the souls come back. |
| Oh, muh drama, so much drama that they were dead for like 2 minutes before some out of nowhere resurrection method apeared. How convenient! |
shiroyasha__x_ said: Farabeuf said: This show is just so bad at keeping up tension. Just as the stakes had gone up, people had persihed and Rimuru was dropping his monotone happy happy voice and some real pathos was building up, there they go and bring us back to square one, where no one dies, everything is wholesome and friendship with all, even those that would kill you for sport is the name of the game. It just makes for a very unengaging "story" for us neutrals who are not coming from the hype of the source material. Wholesome? No one dies? We'll see in the next few episodes :P Read properly what I wrote before commenting. And how am I supposed to know what's happening next when I make it clear that I'm anime only? My point stands. This show has been awful at maintaining any kind of dramatic tension. |

They were dead for hours... in case you missed the conversion the Tempest ppls talked with Rimuru. It's been long enough for the initial human guards to go around and kill bunch of ppls and leave. And long enough for the rest of Tempest to gather up the dead bodies and place all of them in one place. Especially when everyone is weakened and most ppls have next to no strength to carry dead bodies, so pretty much only the top ppls are able to go around and gather them up. Also, this was a lot more "Dramatic" in the manga. As the manga chapter ends with ppls shown dead. Then you have to wait for like a week to know what happens after. (But the anime covers multiple chapters per episode) |

amlg said: They were dead for hours... ... Also, this was a lot more "Dramatic" in the manga. As the manga chapter ends with ppls shown dead.

How can you expect any emotional impact if the whole tragedy is basically fixed in the next scene? And yes, i have read the manga and yes, pacing was much better there, cause reader had some time for all the loss to sink in. This does not make the whole resurrrection bs better as a writing point, but at least manga had the right pacing to execute this move on a good enough level, anime just failed completely cause of terrible pacing. |
| Bad storytelling! I thought the whole episode would be such a sad and heavy tone after Shion's death. I did not expect it to become a joyful atmosphere again because of the sudden information that the people could be resurrected. Really could not arouse an echo in my heart! |
 |
| If you don't have the guts to kill your characters, don't pretend you're killing them. |
 |
| damn, so Rimuru is just going to wipe out every enemy in the Kingdom of Falmuth and erect a puppet government oof. Youm will be the king so that's pretty cool |
| Eh, more of the aftermath but now we have a new plot point. A π% chance of reviving the dead. I have a strong feeling the plan will work (future Shion figure sales depend on it)! |
| TIME FOR MASSACRE OF HUMANS zero f* given. I want Rumuru to anihilate them more than Japanese Defense Forces did with medieval armies in GATE. |
 |
| I was pleasantly surprised to see Shion dead, not because I didn’t like her (in fact she’s my favorite character), but because the anime had the balls to actually kill an important character. Then they come up with a fairy tail about bringing back the dead. The disappointment 1/5 for this bullshit of an episode. |

She betrayed the whole of Tempest for her own greed, causing the deaths of multiple lives (regardless of resurrection), and in return she doesn't get killed and instead gets saved and a slap on the wrist? Yeah i was pissed off at this as well, even her soon to be husband didn't try enough to stop her especially since he found out, you don't need to kill.her but he could have tried to stop her so we the viewers can see he actually tried to not betray the slime dude especially after all the slime dude did for him i feel like he was pretty ungrateful and she even if she was controlled she should have gotten a harsher punishment like I've felt it but slime dude is too immature for a dude who lived 30 years of his life most of the time he acts like he is a child and brushes off responsibility and etc king garzel roasted him about this you are leader of a nation start acting like one stop showing sympathy 24/7 |
 |
| Damn, after that massive tonal shift last episode, they're finally finding a good balance between despair and hope for the series. I was seriously worried that in a series with magic and reincarnation, they'd have that whole "resurrection is taboo" rule for no good reason again. Is Rimuru really going to kill 10,000 humans? Or will he find some sort of workaround? Now things are really getting interesting. |
| Remember kids- genocide is okay so long as it's to help your friends! |
 |
| This episode made me cry and cum in my pants at the same time lol. Rimuru said he's gonna wipe out the entire force of the western holy church and kingdom of falmuth and the king and his top officers. Fucking hell I cannot wait to see that happen. Seriously I thought it's gonna be befriending people who attacked you nonsense but no Rimuru is gonna murder 20,000+ people. FUCK YEAH! |
 |
| “Hope”, there couldn't be a better title for this episode. |
juniorrrbello said: Ok thank you, this is how I feel as well. Wtf why do people like her?So I'm not the only one who wanted myurran dead right? She betrayed the whole of Tempest for her own greed, causing the deaths of multiple lives (regardless of resurrection), and in return she doesn't get killed and instead gets saved and a slap on the wrist? |
| These episodes are going to be amazing. Loved the moment when Rimuru killed Mjurran solely because everyone thought she died. Also, is that dragon girl actually Milim?! And Rimuru is going to be a demon lord. Damn, everything is going to change! Can't wait for the incoming massacre. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| So just when that annoying purple chick's screen time was about to get reduced, they decided to bring her back so that the fan service would go on? Wow, wish they would just kill her off. But i guess that won't happen cause she's a cute big tiddy anime waifu and is essential to the fan service. |
 |
| OMG RIP Shion and Gobzo! :(( |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Eh, I was sad at first, but I should have known that there would be no stakes in the end anyway. It is awfully convenient that there is twice as many men marching to Tempest now, and the fairy tail and the barrier keeping their souls in there. I mean at the same time, this show is basically about how OP everyone, especially Rimuru is, so I'm not too bothered by that part. I am however a bit pissed off that Myulan got off this easy. She have might as well doomed a whole city to save her own life after the kindness they've shown her. I mean of course it's natural to want to save yourself, but it was obvious that Clayman wouldn't have let her go after this, that's just wishful thinking. I'm just mad at her stupidity. Also, is Rimuru really gonna kill that many humans? He is a monster now basically, but I would have thought he was more more not killing innocent people (and I'm sure not everyone in that army is corrupt). Oh well, maybe he has a plan to resurrect those as well once he established the new kingdom. I just hope Rimuru won't go full evil and kill anyone standing in his way from now on (even if the reason to protect his people is genuine). Nice to see that the fairy tail explained a bit more about Milim too. Still have to hear about what she is up to, destroying a whole country and all that. |
 |
| I like some aspects about this series a lot, it's a pretty relaxing watch at times, but yeah, storytelling isn't one of them. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Rimura was mad but not he can handle everything and stay calm. Good MC and think chill. I was shook Shion, Gobzo, and the other are death. |
Rhapsody- said: This show is REALLY GOOD at killing off any tension it builds. Generic Waifu bait #2434 aka Shion died. What a "tragedy".... I couldn't care less. Her big tittes were the only personality trace she had. And I couldn't care less as well about that Mjurran girl and how Youm and the other dude simp for her so much after just 20 minutes of being close each other (and less than 5 minutes onscreen for us the viewers). She caused a genocide and the serie portrays her as the victim here, on top of that she got forgiven for everything. Awful character. Awful writing and development of a relationship between characters. Awful EVERYTHING in this "serious" arc. absolute fakking Dum |

HagePotPotato said: what are you people complaining about? rimuru killing humans and committing genocide? NO. WRONG defeating an invading army that wants to wipe out all the monsters is not genocide, is not "killing humans" personally, i can't wait to see it. i hope he's successful. but i never expected him to wind up a demon lord. crazy. guess that's the only way he'll be able to defeat clayman eventually yea true, the trash king and hes follower deserve what's coming to them aplacebeyondMAL said: Remember kids- genocide is okay so long as it's to help your friends! it not genocide to attack ppl who attacked ur country, they declared war and that's called war, that's how war is they attack u and u attack back, W8 don't tell me that ur that naïve to think they are finished and will leave if he doesn't wipe out the army nearby? actually what this kingdom and church are attempting is genocide only difference from regular war is that he has to do it solo to resurrect hes ppl and that after that he has to offer their souls in exchange for hes ppl's souls (logically thinking it has to be a ritual what works that way) but killing the army nearby is regular war i mean like how wars usually are also do u even know what genocide is? seem no sins u can't make the difference between war and genocide Vysarine said: Damn, after that massive tonal shift last episode, they're finally finding a good balance between despair and hope for the series.

| Fantastic episode! Seeing the goblins, Gobzo and especially Shion's body made me tear up. Rimuru really doing a good job of holding himself together. Let's fucking go, what's 10,000 human lives right, they're trash anyway. Good for Youm and Myulan, they can find happiness as King and Queen of Falmuth, once Rimuru kills them all. Grucius has no chill though lmao, for someone with no chill, he's really patient, he really gonna wait for Youm to pass away. Looking forward to seeing Demon Lord Rimuru. Also lowkey gave us Milim's backstory, that's really fucking cool. I guess Veldora is the one that Milim sealed? Maybe not, since Veldora said a hero sealed him, but they must at least be related. |

| Ya I see nothing wrong with this killing 20,000 people or more and becoming a demon lord just for a 3.14 percent chance of resurrecting the dead but most importantly Shion. It’s a small price to pay for salvation and they started it first so there fault |
 |
| This came across as cheap and lame for me, fitting with Rimuru's character to try and revive Shion and the others but from a plot device perspective, lazy and too convenient for my eyes, even with its high costs of fighting and using the invading army to coincide with the revival. A 3% chance in this anime might as well be 1000000% guaranteed. |
