Wait, what? I thought they were destined to be together! I mean, they are one now, so it's almost the same thing, I wasn't prepared for this. Can he resummon her later? I mean, she appears in some parts of the opening theme song, so probably, the same goes for Veldora.
Looks like trouble is making its way to them, although, with how powerful Rimuuru is, and how powerful his followers are, I guess they can easily handle that boar.
By the way, Rimuru's body looks great, the amazing color scheme as well.

When making an anime adaptation it's normal to have something left out, eventhough this ep could explain more about shizu situation, they decided not to.

Yes, and I normally complain that adaptation purposefully leaves out information critical to understanding the plot, but in this case, I don't think it really matters that much.

Briandias said:
Ps: dude stop spoiling it, it will be explained in the next ep, even the manga explain it in the next chapter lol 😅

I don't think it will be touched the next episode, they seems to be done with the arc, next episode should be new arc introducing new characters...

There has been other spoilers in this thread, and I don't think I spoiled that much. Anyway, anyone can read the manga. Perhaps, even should. It doesn't require that much of the effort as reading through the light novel would be.
Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world.

I was forcing myself to follow this show with the hope that more epic stuff is coming.
Too much melodrama for supposedly adventure title.

I personally think this shows how inexperienced the author was when he wrote the first volume considering the way he handles drama later on is way more impactful than shizu's death. In the LN, for example, shizu didn't even get that much time to shine. She was just a mask girl who we've journey throughout the volume with; nothing to be sad about and I didn't shed any tear.

But nevertheless, it serves as a good motivation for our mc, Rimuru, to have a goal to work toward. In the later volume, however, I can say he improves a lot in the category of handling drama.

1. Why mentioning Goblin Slayer at all?
If commenters are to be believed it's a dark but very shallow and cheaply made show.
I have skipped it on synopsis base even before people started to complain about it.
2. I was (wrongly) expecting something else from Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken like more action, adventures, exploring more exotic locations but got standard RPG stuff and lots of drama. This show is not for me.
If you like it, if it suits your mood this is great and I am happy for you!

Sooo, did we reach the point now where it becomes a dramedy and he gets all those fangirls that have all that fanservice potential, but eventually succumb the melodrama, so he has to "devour" them, which gives him the ability to transform into them, thus making himself his own harem or basically Pimp Ditto?!?

Really an episode that satisfies me fully. After this change of course, I think, albeit slightly, that something good can come out of this anime series. A little I got excited and saddened by the end of Shizu. The episode finale is very intriguing.

so, the first 8 ep of this series is only the prologue or base of the series.
bye veldora & shizu.

im afraid if this will go downhill and lost its good part and the atmosphere of the prologue.

She died from age and exhaustion . Infrit was keeping her alive and young for like 60-70 years .

It was only now that she was unable to control or keep infrit from taking over her body which would have mostly likely killed her anyway as it would have no longer been her .

Can't believe Shizue is gone, I liked her a lot and wanted her to be around more. I thought her final moments (and most of the eps so far) had just the right pacing for me though. Moving forward I am excited to see more of Rimuru's human form.

Wow what a great episode. I must admit I was dreading the whole Shizu story at first. When the fortune teller said she was gonna be his destined one I expected a generic wish fulfillment love story. Then she shows up and the story proceeds as I thought it would up until this episode.
I was not expecting this at all. Damn that was depressing, I actually now wish it had been the wish fulfilled love story I had expected.


I can't stop watching Shizu's death scene. Her whole speech after she ask to be eaten is so painful yet incredible beautiful at the same time. I honestly have no clue how the dialogue is as good as it is, it just is. Really, one of the best episodes I've seen in a while. Simply stunning.

My only grievance with the anime is that they revealed Rimuru's human form in the opening. Would've been better to save it up for later. Oh well but either way this is easily the best anime of the season. I'm regretting putting it off until now.

Yeah... this is what I felt when I first saw Shizu's face 2 episodes ago, how it reminded me of Rimuru's human form from the OP. Then by the end of that episode it dawned on me that she might be the very reason he looks like that. Not seeing her among the main team in the OP and ED, and the different scenes during the ED made me realize that she might die soon and be absorbed.

I feel so sad for her, I wish she could have stayed alive and go on the journeys with Rimuru :( But I guess it's sort of a happy ending for her.

That said, the "eat me, Rimuru" scene was pretty weird :'D Though I understood the meaning.
I like Rimuru's human form, he looks cool, although it's a bit awkward how feminine he is now. Kinda wish the OP/ED didn't spoil it from the very beginning, but it was okay this way as well.
I'm amused by the discussions about whether it's okay to lewd him, and how to do so :'D

I hope we can see those three guildmates later. They were fun.

This episode was a giant exposition dump.

Surely it would have been better if they exposed details about Shizu over several episodes, rather than

"Listen to my life story, as I kick the bucket"

but what character would do that?
shizu said that to rimuru so he knows what happened to her and how she want's to be remembered.
that "exposition dump" had a place and a time, and that place and time were here, otherwise will just be facts from a character that we did not know it knowed shizu.
(sorry for my english)


Could have been herself explaining it in flashbacks to the team. Or it wouldn't even had to be explained by a character at all. Just storytelling by breaking the 4th wall could have done the job and would create tension and afection towards Shizu.

The way it was told, Shizu never had the time to grow towards the audience so we couldn't give a rats ass if she dies or not. She was too short lived and irrelevant screentime wise and we couldn't even feel Rimuru's afection towards her, if he had any. And that part, being Rimu's destined one, was also pretty dumb. They didn't have time for anything but realistically just some short lived comradery. I wouldn't even consider them friends. Those few days ain't enough.

The narrative that Shizu's been so important to Rimu is stupid and the plot asuming it just makes it look even dumber and unrealistic/ilogical.

I didn't expect this. I thought she would become a travel companion.
And looks like that "she is your destined one" prediction in that bar wasn't meant as being in a regular relationship.
So she is now dead inside of him but he gained her abilities?

Anyways, her screentime was too short to feel any real affection and that makes her death rather unimposing. So her only purpose in the story was to create a goal for the protagonist?

Those 3 adventurers are silly lol. Got way too emotional for the short amt of time they spent with Shizu, dafuq? xD I hope they're much stronger if they appear again in the future. Cool new equipment and stuffs doe

RIP Shizu. At least she found peace in the end, being freed from Ifrit. She handed on her last will to Rimuru who was allowed to devour her.

Rimuru in human form looks alright, but I prefer him as Slime-sama. ;D Now we know why he looked like Shizu so much in the opening.

It's awesome to see the village being rebuilt so fast after Ifrit's rampage. I'm worried about the future of it, though. Let's be honest: those adventurers will give their reports about Rimuru and prospering village having the finest artisans who gave them such a fine equipment. I hope there won't be any war to conquer both the forest and the village. :S Plus that ending didn't look positive for all beings who lived peacefully in this forest.
