[00:01] (Flashback) Treyni
    Ruler of monsters, and all
    those who are loyal to him,
[00:05] (Flashback) Treyni
    forgive me for this unannounced visit.
[00:08] (Flashback) Treyni
    I am Treyni, a Dryad.
[00:12] (Flashback) Treyni
    It is a pleasure to meet you.
[00:15] (Flashback) Treyni
    Rimuru Tempest, ruler of
    monsters, I would like you
[00:19] (Flashback) Treyni
    to defeat the Orc Lord.
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 12: The Gears Spin Out of Control
[02:03] Rimuru
    Defeat the Orc Lord?
[02:06] Rimuru
    Um... You're asking me?
[02:09] Treyni
    Yes, that's right.
[02:12] Benimaru
    That's quite a selfish request from
    someone who just appeared out of nowhere,
[02:16] Benimaru
    Treyni the Dryad.
[02:19] Benimaru
    Why have you come here?
[02:21] Benimaru
    There are races far stronger than Goblins.
[02:25] Treyni
    Yes, that is true.
[02:27] Treyni
    If the Ogres' homeland had
    been at full strength,
[02:30] Treyni
    perhaps I would have gone there.
[02:32] Treyni
    Though, even if I had done that,
[02:35] Treyni
    I still could not have ignored
    this individual's existence.
[02:41] Treyni
    Were our settlement to be
    attacked by the Orc Lord,
[02:44] Treyni
    the Dryads could not hope
    to fight them alone.
[02:47] Treyni
    This is why I have come to request
    assistance from someone strong.
[02:52] Rimuru
    The idea that the Orc Lord even existed
    was still just a theory to us...
[02:58] Treyni
    The Dryads have knowledge of essentially
    everything that happens in this forest.
[03:03] Treyni
    The Orc Lord does exist.
[03:10] Rigurd
    If a Dryad acknowledges it...
[03:12] Kaijin
    Then it must be true.
[03:21] Rimuru
    Give me some time to answer.
[03:23] Rimuru
    I will back up the Kijin,
[03:25] Rimuru
    but I don't want to go poking at
    a hornet's nest for no reason.
[03:28] Rimuru
    Let me take stock of the information
    we have before I answer.
[03:31] Rimuru
    Despite how I look, I'm the
    leader here, after all.
[03:45] Rimuru
    Let's continue the conference.
[03:47] Rimuru
    Anyone have any ideas what
    the Orcs might be after?
[03:54] Shuna
    One thing does come to mind...
[03:57] Rimuru
    Okay.
[03:58] Shunei
    Soei, did you investigate our village?
[04:04] Soei
    Yes.
[04:05] Shuna
    Judging by your reaction,
    I assume you found none?
[04:10] Soei
    Correct.
[04:12] Soei
    Not a single one belonging to
    either our brethren or the Orcs.
[04:18] Rimuru
    Not one what?
[04:19] Soei
    Corpse.
[04:22] Benimaru
    We didn't understand how they
    were getting the supplies
[04:26] Benimaru
    to keep an army of 200,000 fed.
[04:29] Rimuru
    Are you saying...
[04:32] Treyni
    The unique skill...
SIGN    Starved
[04:34] Treyni
    Starved.
[04:36] Rimuru
    Starved?
[04:40] Treyni
    It's a skill that the Orc Lord,
[04:43] Treyni
    a calamity that brings chaos
    to the world, is born with.
[04:47] Treyni
    Its influence reaches all
    those who serve under him,
[04:48] Orcs
    Trample all! Trample all! Trample all!
[04:51] Treyni
    making them devour everything
    in sight, like locusts.
[04:55] Treyni
    At the same time, they consume the
    victim's strength and abilities,
[04:59] Treyni
    making them their own sustenance.
[05:01] Orcs
    The strength of this comrade
    we eat is now ours!
[05:04] Orcs
    The strength of this prey we eat is now ours!
[05:10] Treyni
    It's quite similar to your Predator skill.
[05:16] Treyni
    In return for obtaining Starved,
[05:18] Treyni
    they feel constant, insatiable hunger.
[05:20] Treyni
    The Orcs move forward for no other purpose
[05:23] Treyni
    than to sate their endless
    hunger and gain more power.
[05:26] Treyni
    That is their king's only wish.
[05:34] Rimuru
    So the Orcs' goal isn't to wipe out
[05:38] Rimuru
    the superior forest races,
    the Ogres and Lizardmen,
[05:41] Rimuru
    but to steal their powers?
[05:49] Rimuru
    Well, if that's the case,
[05:52] Rimuru
    I can't say we're in the clear.
[05:54] Rimuru
    We have Tempest Wolves,
    Kijin, and Hobgoblins.
[05:57] Rimuru
    Flavors aside, they're all meals with
    powers that the Orcs would kill for.
[06:03] Benimaru
    Aren't you forgetting the one meal
    that would attract them the most?
[06:07] Rimuru
    Huh?
[06:07] Benimaru
    We have the strongest slime here, remember?
[06:10] Rimuru
    Where?
[06:15] Rimuru
    Huh?
[06:18] Treyni
    In addition, we have confirmed
    that a certain majin
[06:22] Treyni
    is behind the Orc Lord's appearance.
[06:25] Treyni
    I believe it is someone you
    won't want to overlook.
[06:29] Rimuru
    A majin?
[06:32] Treyni
    It is a subordinate of
    a Demon Lord, after all.
[06:39] Rimuru
    They have knowledge of everything
    that happens in the forest, huh?
[06:43] Rimuru
    This lady's shrewd.
[06:51] Treyni
    Honored Rimuru Tempest.
[06:56] Treyni
    I once again request that
    you defeat the Orc Lord.
[06:59] Treyni
    As the one who received the
    Storm Dragon Veldora's protection,
[07:02] Treyni
    subjugated the Direwolves,
    and became the patron of the Kijin,
[07:06] Treyni
    you are surely more than
    a match for the Orc Lord.
[07:12] Rimuru
    What do you think, Great Sage?
    Can I trust her?
SIGN    Caretakers of the Forest
[07:15] Great Sage
    The Dryads are the caretakers
    of the Great Forest of Jura.
SIGN    Caretakers of the Forest
[07:19] Great Sage
    They are said to be the ones who
    pass divine justice on villains
SIGN    They pass divine justice
    on villains and any who would
    harm the forest
[07:22] Great Sage
    and any who would harm the forest.
SIGN    Divine Justice
[07:25] Rimuru
    Divine justice, huh?
[07:28] Rimuru
    But there are 200,000 of them.
[07:31] Shion
    Of course he will!
[07:32] Shion
    That Orc Lord is no match for Great Rimuru!
[07:36] Treyni
    Oh, you agree with me, then?
[07:38] Shion
    Yes!
[07:39] Rimuru
    Are you kidding me?! Did she really just...
[07:47] Rimuru
    Fine. I'll accept this request
    to beat the Demon Lord.
[07:51] Rimuru
    You're all in this with me.
[07:53] Shuna
    Of course, Great Rimuru!
[07:56] Benimaru
    That was our plan all along.
[07:59] Kaijin
    We believe in you, and we're
    with you. That's all we need.
[08:02] Rigurd
    Exactly!
[08:04] Rigurd
    Let's show them how strong we are!
[08:07] All
    Yeah!
[08:13] Rimuru
    I acted all cool about it,
    but what if we lose?
[08:24] Rimuru
    If we're taking on an army of 200,000 Orcs,
[08:27] Rimuru
    I feel like we should consider
    an alliance with the Lizardmen,
[08:31] Rimuru
    but given the guy they
    had representing them...
[08:34] (Flashback) Gabiru
    I am Gabiru!
SIGN    The Guy
[08:38] Rimuru
    I'd really like to talk to someone
    who'll actually listen...
[08:42] Soei
    Great Rimuru.
[08:44] Soei
    Would you mind if I spoke personally
    with the chieftain of the Lizardmen?
[08:48] Rimuru
    Soei? You can do that?
[08:50] Soei
    Yes.
[08:52] Rimuru
    Oh, my God, he's so confident!
    What a dreamboat!
[08:56] Rimuru
    O-Okay, then.
[08:57] Rimuru
    We'll join forces with the
    Lizardmen and attack the Orcs.
[09:00] All
    Yes, sir!
[09:02] Rimuru
    The battle will probably take place in the
    marshlands inhabited by the Lizardmen.
[09:07] Rimuru
    The Lizardmen's cooperation will
    be essential for this to work.
[09:10] Rimuru
    I'm counting on you, Soei.
[09:12] Soei
    It shall be done.
[09:16] Rimuru
    I hope their chieftain isn't
    an idiot like Gabiru...
[09:29] Lizard
    Sir Gabiru!
[09:32] Lizard
    You're awake now?
[09:33] Lizard
    Sir Gabiru...
[09:35] Gabiru
    Wh-Where are we?
[09:36] Lizard
    Thank goodness...
[09:40] Gabiru
    Th-That's right! I was...
[09:43] Gabiru
    defeated by that boy with the dopey face!
[09:46] Gabiru
    They clearly tricked us.
[09:48] Lizard
    What do you mean?
[09:51] Gabiru
    It's simple.
[09:53] Gabiru
    That boy who beat me
[09:55] Gabiru
    is obviously the real master of that village!
[09:59] Lizards
    Really?!
[10:01] Lizard
    That kid?
[10:02] Lizard
    He must be, or Sir Gabiru wouldn't have lost!
[10:05] Lizard
    Indeed.
[10:05] Lizard
    What a dirty trick, lowering
    Sir Gabiru's guard with such lies!
[10:09] Lizard
    Cowards!
[10:10] Lizard
    How dare they?!
[10:10] Gabiru
    Now, calm down.
[10:12] Gabiru
    Such is the wisdom of the weak.
[10:17] Lizard
    What a great man you are!
    Great as a mountain!
[10:19] Lizard
    That's our Sir Gabiru!
[10:21] Lizard
    Yeah! Our next chieftain!
[10:22] Laplace
    You're the best, Gabiru!
[10:26] Gabiru
    Oh, no, I'm really not so—
[10:29] Gabiru
    Wait, who?! Wha?!
[10:30] Lizard
    He's been here this whole time.
[10:32] Laplace
    You're just as great as I've heard!
[10:36] Laplace
    My name is Laplace.
[10:38] Gabiru
    Laplace?
[10:40] Laplace
    I've come as a servant of
    Lord Gelmud to give you a warning.
[10:45] Gabiru
    Oh! Lord Gelmud!
[10:47] Lizard
    Who's Lord Gelmud?
[10:49] Lizard
    He's the man who gave Sir Gabiru his name.
[10:52] Gabiru
    Thank you for taking the trouble to come!
[10:55] Gabiru
    So, what is Lord Gelmud's warning?
[10:58] Laplace
    Well, we have quite the
    situation on our hands!
[11:04] Laplace
    It seems that army of Orcs
[11:06] Laplace
    really is being led by an Orc Lord.
[11:10] Lizards
    An Orc Lord?!
[11:14] Laplace
    The Lizardman chieftain is a capable man,
[11:18] Laplace
    but he's getting up there in years, you know!
[11:21] Laplace
    Frankly speaking...
[11:23] Laplace
    Don't you think this is a bit
    much for Daddy to handle?
[11:30] Gabiru
    I had planned to take over as chieftain
    after we had fought off the Orcs,
[11:35] Gabiru
    but it seems that would be too late!
[11:37] Laplace
    Yep, exactly!
[11:43] Gabiru
    Laplace, forgive my leaving
    so abruptly, but we—
[11:47] Laplace
    Oh, it's fine, it's fine!
[11:48] Laplace
    You're going back to the marshlands, right?
[11:50] Laplace
    You should hurry!
[11:52] Gabiru
    Thank you.
[11:55] Gabiru
    Let us go!
[11:56] Lizards
    Yeah!
[12:06] Laplace
    Do the best you can, Gabiru.
[12:10] Orcs
    Trample all! Trample all! Trample all!
[12:35] Sis
    Chieftain, what shall we do?
[12:38] Sis
    The Orc army is approaching.
[12:41] Chieftain
    What can we do but remain here?
[12:44] Chieftain
    We have no means to fight
    an army of 200,000 Orcs.
[12:47] Sis
    Yes, sir.
[12:48] Lizard
    Chieftain!
[12:50] Lizard
    Chieftain! We have an intruder!
[12:53] Lizard
    He demands an audience with you!
[12:58] Chieftain
    Very well. Bring him to me.
[13:01] Sis
    Chieftain, is this not dangerous?
[13:04] Chieftain
    You can feel this aura, as well?
[13:07] Sis
    Yes. This is no simple intruder.
[13:10] Sis
    With this one...
[13:11] Sis
    even a hundred of the strongest
    Lizardmen would stand no chance.
[13:26] Chieftain
    Forgive me, but my hands are
    rather tied at the moment.
[13:30] Chieftain
    I cannot spare any hospitality.
[13:32] Soei
    No need to trouble yourself.
[13:35] Soei
    I am only a messenger, here to convey
    to you the words of my master.
[13:45] Chieftain
    And what is your message?
[13:48] Soei
    My master desires an alliance
    with the Lizardmen.
[13:52] Chieftain
    An alliance?
[13:54] Chieftain
    But I have no knowledge of your master.
[13:59] Soei
    My master is the great Rimuru Tempest.
[14:03] Soei
    Upon receiving a personal
    request from the Dryads,
[14:05] Soei
    he has sworn to defeat
    the approaching Orc army.
[14:09] Chieftain
    A personal request from the
    caretakers of the forest?
[14:13] Soei
    She informed us that the Orc
    army is led by an Orc Lord.
[14:17] Lizard
    An Orc Lord?!
[14:18] Soei
    Keep in mind what that means
    as you consider our proposal.
[14:26] Lizard
    Rimuru, you say? Never heard of him!
[14:29] Lizard
    He probably just came crying to
    us because he fears the Orc Lord!
[14:34] Lizard
    If he would just ask for our help...
[14:36] Chieftain
    Enough.
[14:38] Chieftain
    Hold your tongue.
[14:40] Lizard
    Ch-Chieftain! Such complacency
    will lead others to belittle—
[14:44] Lizard
    Wh-What is this?
[14:49] Chieftain
    Hold.
[14:50] Chieftain
    I apologize for my comrade's rudeness.
[14:54] Chieftain
    Would you please forgive him?
[14:57] Chieftain
    This offer does benefit both
    of us equally, does it not?
[15:04] Soei
    Forgive me.
[15:05] Soei
    It was not my intent to threaten him,
[15:07] Soei
    but I will not stand for
    such mockery of my master.
[15:10] Chieftain
    Strong words...
[15:12] Chieftain
    Had I not stopped him, he would have
    taken his head in a heartbeat.
[15:16] Chieftain
    Judging by your aura, you appear
    to be an Ogre from the southwest.
[15:22] Soei
    Not anymore.
[15:23] Soei
    My master granted me the name
    "Soei," and I became a Kijin.
[15:27] Chieftain
    Kijin?
[15:28] Sis
    The superior race born only
    rarely from among the Ogres?
[15:32] Chieftain
    If that is true, it would
    mean that your master
[15:37] Chieftain
    is of an even more superior
    race than the Kijin...
[15:41] Chieftain
    An offer to enter an alliance
[15:44] Chieftain
    immediately after the
    appearance of the Orc Lord...
[15:49] Chieftain
    I have no reason to refuse.
[15:52] Chieftain
    However...
[15:54] Chieftain
    Soei, was it? I have one condition.
[15:58] Soei
    What is it?
[16:00] Chieftain
    I wish to meet your master, Rimuru Tempest.
[16:05] Soei
    Very well.
[16:06] Soei
    Then we will make preparations
[16:09] Soei
    and meet you here in seven days.
[16:12] Soei
    You will have an audience with him then.
[16:16] Soei
    Ensure that you do not
    wage battle before then.
[16:21] Chieftain
    Understood.
[16:23] Soei
    Then I will go.
[16:31] Sis
    Chieftain!
[16:34] Chieftain
    I feel as if I've seen the light of hope.
[16:40] Chieftain
    Gather everyone together.
[16:45] Chieftain
    The Orc army has already drawn
    near to this underground cave.
[16:50] Chieftain
    But there is nothing to fear.
[16:53] Chieftain
    In seven days,
    powerful reinforcements will join us.
[16:57] Chieftain
    Until then, we will remain here and
    conserve our strength for battle.
[17:03] Chieftain
    Do not, for a moment,
    think of making the first strike.
[17:07] Chieftain
    Any who die in battle will be eaten by
    the enemy and become their strength!
[17:12] Chieftain
    That is what it means to fight the Orc Lord.
[17:18] Chieftain
    Once our reinforcements join us,
    we will launch a counterattack.
[17:22] Chieftain
    Resist fighting until then!
[17:24] Chieftain
    I will not tolerate a
    single death among my men!
SIGN    Four Days Later
[17:32] Lizard
    All right! Surround him!
[17:39] Lizard
    Is this really an Orc?
[17:41] Lizard
    I feel like I just fought an Ogre...
[17:44] Lizard
    It's chilling to think that there
    are 200,000 of these guys.
[17:48] Lizard
    That must be the power of the Orc Lord.
[17:53] Lizard
    Can we defend this place for three more days?
[17:55] Gabiru
    If all we do is defend,
    we'll exhaust our strength!
[18:00] Lizard
    You're...
[18:04] Gabiru
    Father!
[18:07] Chieftain
    Ah, you've returned.
[18:09] Chieftain
    Well?
[18:10] Chieftain
    Did you succeed in recruiting
    the Goblins to assist us?
[18:14] Gabiru
    Yes, sir!
[18:16] Gabiru
    They number 7,000 in total.
[18:18] Gabiru
    They are standing by.
[18:21] Gabiru
    But...
[18:22] Gabiru
    Why must we remain here in
    the face of an Orc attack?
[18:26] Gabiru
    This is not how the proud
    Lizardman race fights.
[18:31] Chieftain
    While you were away, we were
    approached with an offer of alliance.
[18:35] Chieftain
    Until they join us, our best
    option is to focus on defense.
[18:43] Gabiru
    You've aged, Father.
[18:45] Chieftain
    What?
[18:53] Gabiru
    Utilizing these natural labyrinths may
    be a wise strategy against a large army.
[18:58] Gabiru
    However, it divides our forces
    between too many separate corridors,
[19:02] Gabiru
    preventing us from meeting the
    enemy with our full strength!
[19:06] Sis
    G-Gabiru, what is the meaning of this?
[19:09] Gabiru
    Be calm, captain of the guard.
[19:12] Gabiru
    I have no intention of harming you.
[19:14] Sis
    But...
[19:16] Gabiru
    I will apologize later for
    resorting to violence.
[19:19] Gabiru
    You may feel uncomfortable while restrained,
[19:22] Gabiru
    but bear with it until I defeat the Orc Lord.
[19:26] Chieftain
    Son! I will not allow you to do this!
[19:30] Sis
    Gabiru... no, Brother!
[19:32] Sis
    Please, come to your senses!
[19:33] Chieftain
    Unhand me! Unhand me, I said!
[19:38] Chieftain
    Unhand me at once! I will not stand for this!
[19:42] Lizard
    Sir Gabiru, here.
[19:45] Gabiru
    That's my father's...
[19:56] Gabiru
    Th-This power...
[19:59] Gabiru
    Vortex Spear, you acknowledge
    me as your master now?
[20:06] Lizard
    We've seized the leaders of each clan.
[20:09] Lizard
    There were a lot of young ones who didn't
    agree with this defensive battle.
[20:15] Gabiru
    I see.
[20:18] Lizard
    We're all behind you.
[20:20] Lizard
    We're counting on you, Sir Gabiru.
[20:24] Gabiru
    Of course.
[20:25] Gabiru
    I will show you how a true Lizardman fights!
[20:30] Gabiru
    The time has come!
[20:34] All
    Gabiru! Gabiru! Gabiru!
[20:39] Orcs
    Trample all! Trample all! Trample all!
[20:46] Narrator
    The Orc army filled the marshlands.
[20:49] Narrator
    From one corner of their ranks,
    a commotion arose.
[20:56] Gabiru
    There is no need to fear these
    pigs any more than before!
[20:59] Gabiru
    These marshlands are our domain!
[21:02] Gabiru
    We will throw the Orcs into
    confusion with our agility!
[21:06] Gabiru
    We will not lose to these dimwits
    whose feet are held by the mud!
[21:09] Lizard
    All right!
[21:10] Lizard
    Our attack is making a dent!
[21:12] Lizard
    Indeed.
[21:13] Gabiru
    Mere Orcs are no match for us Lizardmen!
[21:16] Gabiru
    Right! Withdraw for now!
[21:19] Narrator
    Gabiru's men had to acknowledge his talents.

    What's happening?
[21:29] Narrator
    If there was anything
    they didn't account for,
[21:32] Narrator
    it was that Gabiru didn't know...
[21:34] Narrator
    the terror of the Orc Lord.
[21:37] Gabiru
    The Orcs... are eating other Orcs?
[21:42] Narrator
    The chieftain did know the
    terror of the Orc Lord.
[21:47] Narrator
    This difference between
    the two of them was now
[21:51] Narrator
    bearing its fangs at Gabiru.
[21:53] Orcs
    Trample all! Trample all! Trample all!
[21:58] Orcs
    The strength of this comrade
    we eat is now ours!
[22:01] Orcs
    The strength of this prey we eat is now ours!
[23:35] Great Sage
    Next time, "The Great Clash."
