***SIGN*** Tokyo: Present Day
**[01:05] Mikami**
Sure is peaceful...
**[01:11] Mikami**
*I live a totally normal, uneventful life.*
**[01:13] Mikami**
* I graduated from college, got a job*
* at a major general contracting firm,*
**[01:18] Mikami**
* worked my way up the ladder,*
* and started making decent money.*
**[01:21] Mikami**
*I'm a perfectly content 37-year-old man.*
**[01:25] Mikami**
* If there's anything missing in my*
* life right now, it's a girlfriend.*
**[01:30] Mikami**
* In fact, I haven't had a*
* girlfriend in all my 37 years...*
**[01:34] Mikami**
* But not having one doesn't*
* bother me at all, really.*
**[01:39] Tamura**
Senpai!
**[01:41] Tamura**
Over here, Senpai!
**[01:44] Mikami**
Tamura, sorry I'm a bit late.
**[01:48] Mikami**
So, what'd you want to discuss?
**[01:49] Miho**
Hello! I'm Sawatari Miho.
**[01:52] Miho**
I see you around a lot, but this
is our first time speaking.
**[01:56] Mikami**
Oh... Hi. I'm Mikami Satoru.
**[01:59] Mikami**
I know who you are, of course. You're famous.
**[02:01] Miho**
What?! Famous?!
**[02:03] Mikami**
Yeah, I mean, all those rumors...
**[02:06] Miho**
Wh-What rumors?!
**[02:09] Tamura**
Easy, Miho. He's just teasing you.
**[02:11] Tamura**
Go easy on her, Senpai.
**[02:14] Mikami**
Sorry about that.
**[02:16] Mikami**
* What is this, anyway?*
* Is he looking for marriage advice?*
**[02:19] Tamura**
No need to stand around.
Let's talk while we eat.
**[02:23] Tamura**
You like yakiniku, don't you, Senpai?
**[02:25] Tamura**
I booked a great place for us.
**[02:27] Mikami**
* Jeez, he arranged one of*
* my favorites for dinner?*
**[02:30] Mikami**
*Kid sure knows how to treat his senpai.*
**[02:32] Miho**
It's just up ahead.
**[02:34] Mikami**
* Well, I guess I should offer*
* them my congratulations.*
**[02:46] Mikami**
Tamura!
**[03:05] Tamura**
S-Senpai!

All I really wanted to do...

**[04:51] Mikami**
Jeez...
**[04:53] Mikami**
Don't worry about that.
**[04:55] Miho**

***SIGN*** Episode 1: The Storm Dragon, Veldora
**[06:05] Mikami**
*Where am I?*
**[06:07] Mikami**
*And... what happened?*
**[06:10] Mikami**
* I feel like someone was teasing me*
* about being a sage, or a great sage...*
**[06:15] Mikami**
*That's right... I was stabbed and...*
**[06:18] Mikami**
*Okay, I remember. It's all right.*
**[06:21] Mikami**
*This isn't the time to panic yet.*
**[06:23] Mikami**
* The only time I ever lost my cool was*
* when I crapped my pants in grade school.*
**[06:30] Mikami**
*Okay, so... I was stabbed, and then...*
**[06:36] Mikami**
*I don't... hurt anywhere.*
**[06:39] Mikami**
*I'm not cold.*
**[06:41] Mikami**
*My eyes... won't open?*
**[06:44] Mikami**
*I can't see anything!*
**[06:47] Mikami**
*My hands... my feet...*
**[06:50] Mikami**
*I can't feel them.*
**[06:52] Mikami**
*My body...*
**[06:57] Mikami**
*I can move!*
**[06:59] Mikami**
*So I have sensation.*
**[07:01] Mikami**
*Are those... rocks?*
***SIGN*** Rock
**[07:06] Mikami**
*Which would mean I'm not in the hospital...*
**[07:10] Mikami**
*Then, where the hell am I?*
**[07:14] Mikami**
*Is this...*
**[07:16] Mikami**
*some kind of plant?*
**[07:18] Mikami**
*Does my mouth work?*
**[07:20] Mikami**
*My voice...*
**[07:24] Mikami**
*Nope.*
**[07:25] Mikami**
*Huh? It dissolved?*
***SIGN*** Plant
***SIGN*** Intake
**[07:30] Mikami**
*It's permeating throughout my body...*
***SIGN*** Disappear
***SIGN*** Surge
**[07:38] Mikami**
*What's happened to me?*
**[07:41] Mikami**
*Something seems weird.*
**[07:43] Mikami**
* Humans can't usually*
* dissolve plants, can they?*
**[07:48] Mikami**
*Oh... Huh? Eh?*
**[07:51] Mikami**
*Maybe I really did die...*
**[07:54] Mikami**
*What happened to Tamura and Sawatari-san?*
**[07:57] Mikami**
*Did he wipe my hard drive?*
**[08:00] Mikami**
*Just... what the heck am I right now?*
**[08:08] Rimuru**
Hey, I bounce. I seem
to have some elasticity.
**[08:12] Rimuru**
Let's see, my body's exterior is...
**[08:15] Rimuru**
*Uh-huh.*
**[08:17] Rimuru**
*I see, I see.*
**[08:20] Rimuru**
*How can this be?!*
**[08:22] Rimuru**
* I was such a hot,*
* manly man (self-proclaimed),*
***SIGN*** Manly
***SIGN*** (Self-proclaimed)
**[08:25] Rimuru**
* but now I've taken on this*
* refined, streamlined form!*
**[08:29] Rimuru**
Yeah, right, idiot!
Like hell I can accept that!
**[08:33] Rimuru**
But... I am a slime, aren't I?
**[08:36] Rimuru**
Yeah. I'm not human.
**[08:39] Rimuru**
It seems like I got stabbed,
died, and reincarnated...
**[08:44] Rimuru**
as a slime.
**[08:48] Rimuru**
I think it's been a fairly
long time since then.
**[08:53] Rimuru**
Surprisingly, it turns out
this body is pretty handy.
**[08:56] Rimuru**
I don't even need to eat or sleep.
**[09:03] Rimuru**
So why do I eat plants, you ask?
**[09:05] Rimuru**
Because I have nothing else to do!
**[09:08] Rimuru**
There's no point, but I don't feel
right if I'm not doing something.
**[09:12] Rimuru**
Wait... Who am I even talking to?
**[09:15] Rimuru**
Anyway, I wonder where
this stuff I eat is going.
**[09:18] Rimuru**
I haven't pooped or...
**[09:20] Great Sage**
*Answer.*
**[09:21] Great Sage**
* It is stored in the stomach*
* of your unique skill, Predator.*
**[09:25] Rimuru**
Th-That voice... I heard
it when I was stabbed, too!
**[09:28] Rimuru**
Wh-Who are you?
**[09:30] Great Sage**
*Answer.*
**[09:31] Great Sage**
* It is the effect of your*
* unique skill, Great Sage.*
***SIGN*** Unique Skill Great Sage In Effect
**[09:34] Great Sage**
*Now that your ability is established,*
***SIGN*** Ability Established
**[09:36] Great Sage**
*you are capable of reacting more quickly.*
***SIGN*** Reaction Speed Up
**[09:39] Rimuru**
Great Sage...
**[09:40] Rimuru**
So, um, does "skill" mean my abilities?
**[09:43] Rimuru**
What is "Predator"?
**[09:45] Great Sage**
* It allows you to ingest objects*
* and analyze them within your body.*
***SIGN*** Unique Skill
Predator
***SIGN*** Mimicry Skill
**[09:49] Great Sage**
*You can then acquire that object's skills.*
***SIGN*** Absorb Into Body
***SIGN*** Analyze
***SIGN*** Parallel
**[09:52] Great Sage**
* Once the analysis is complete, you*
* can mimic the object, as well.*
**[09:55] Rimuru**
Oh!
**[09:56] Great Sage**
*The stomach stores the objects you ingest.*
**[09:58] Great Sage**
* It can also isolate harmful*
* objects that cannot be analyzed.*
**[10:03] Rimuru**
Th-This "Predator" seems like
a pretty amazing ability.
**[10:06] Rimuru**
Is it really something a slime should have?
**[10:09] Rimuru**
But, hey, since I do have it...
**[10:11] Rimuru**
As a test, can you analyze the plants I ate?
**[10:16] Great Sage**
*Analysis complete.*
**[10:19] Great Sage**
*Hipokute herbs.*
***SIGN*** Hipokute Herbs
**[10:20] Great Sage**
* A valuable herb that only grows*
* in areas rich in magicules.*
***SIGN*** A valuable herb that only grows
in areas rich in magicules,
used in healing potions.
**[10:24] Great Sage**
* Used as an ingredient in*
* salves and healing potions.*
**[10:27] Rimuru**
Magicules?
***SIGN*** Magicules
**[10:28] Great Sage**
*Magicules.*
***SIGN*** Magicules
**[10:29] Great Sage**
*A special energetic material found in all—*
***SIGN*** A special energetic material found in all...
**[10:32] Rimuru**
Explain it so I can understand!
***SIGN*** Magical Beings
***SIGN*** Magicules
***SIGN*** Magicules
***SIGN*** Magicules
***SIGN*** Magicules
***SIGN*** Magicules
***SIGN*** Magicules
**[10:36] Great Sage**
* They are the building blocks*
* of life in all magical beings.*
**[10:39] Rimuru**
Building blocks of life?
**[10:41] Rimuru**
I get it. This cave must
be full of that stuff,
**[10:44] Rimuru**
which is why all these valuable
herbs grow here, right?
**[10:47] Rimuru**
So I can analyze these hipokute herbs
**[10:50] Rimuru**
and store them in my stomach.
**[10:52] Rimuru**
Does that mean I can create and
store salves and healing potions
**[10:56] Rimuru**
within my own body?
***SIGN*** Affirmative
**[10:58] Great Sage**
*Precisely.*
**[10:59] Rimuru**
I see!
**[11:01] Rimuru**
Okay, then...
**[11:02] Rimuru**
So I gobbled up all the
hipokute herbs in this cave
**[11:06] Rimuru**
and immediately turned them into
potions in my stomach along the way.
***SIGN*** Potion
**[11:11] Rimuru**
They could come in handy
if I'm ever in trouble...
**[11:13] Rimuru**
but mostly, I just have nothing else to do.
**[11:19] Rimuru**
If all those plants are actually some
valuable herb you call hipokute herbs,
**[11:23] Rimuru**
does that mean this rock
is worth something, too?
**[11:25] Great Sage**
*Magic ore.*
***SIGN*** Magic
Ore
**[11:27] Great Sage**
* Minerals that spend long periods*
* of time in magicule-rich areas*
**[11:29] Great Sage**
* take in magicules until*
* they become magic ore.*
**[11:33] Great Sage**
*It is very valuable.*
**[11:34] Rimuru**
Really?! Okay, then!
**[11:39] Rimuru**
Magic ore's pretty awesome, too!
**[11:45] Rimuru**
So I gobbled up all the
magic ore in the cave.
**[11:48] Rimuru**
And there's a ton of it!
**[11:49] Rimuru**
It's an all-you-can-eat buffet!
**[12:00] Rimuru**
Um... Did I just... fall in water?
**[12:06] Rimuru**
A lake?
**[12:07] Rimuru**
So slimes don't float?
**[12:10] Rimuru**
Am I really gonna die this time?
**[12:13] Rimuru**
I don't feel like I'm suffocating.
**[12:15] Rimuru**
Wait, was I even breathing to begin with?
**[12:19] Rimuru**
I guess I wasn't...
**[12:21] Rimuru**
But what do I do now?
**[12:23] Rimuru**
This looks bad.
**[12:25] Rimuru**
I know!
**[12:27] Rimuru**
I'll just ingest some water and...
**[12:31] Rimuru**
Okay!
**[12:32] Great Sage**
*Skill: Water Pressure Propulsion acquired.*
***SIGN*** — Water Pressure Propulsion —
**[12:38] Rimuru**
W-Wait... I'm going a little too fast!
**[12:47] Rimuru**
I'm pretty sure I hit that wall,
but I don't feel any pain.
**[12:51] Great Sage**
*Answer.*
***SIGN*** Pain Nullification
**[12:52] Great Sage**
*Because you have acquired Pain Nullification,*
***SIGN*** Pain Nullification
**[12:54] Great Sage**
*you will not feel pain.*
**[12:56] Great Sage**
*The physical damage you have taken is 10%.*
***SIGN*** Notice

**[12:59] Great Sage**
* Species skill Self-Regeneration*
* has been activated.*
***SIGN*** Species Skill
Self-Regeneration
Activated
**[13:02] Rimuru**
So I still take damage,
even though I don't feel pain?
**[13:09] Rimuru**
I repaired the part of me that took damage?
**[13:13] Rimuru**
This body really is convenient!
**[13:15] Rimuru**
But I guess I should be more careful.
**[13:19] Verudora**
Can you hear me, small one?
**[13:27] Verudora**
Can you hear me, small one?
**[13:31] Verudora**
Hey! I know you can hear me!
**[13:33] Rimuru**
Y-You're talking to me, aren't you?
**[13:36] Verudora**
Answer me.
**[13:38] Rimuru**
Easy for you to say!
**[13:39] Rimuru**
How am I supposed to talk
when I don't have a mouth?!
**[13:42] Verudora**
Hey!
**[13:43] Rimuru**
Just shut up already, baldy!
**[13:45] Verudora**
Oh? You called me a baldy, eh?
**[13:49] Verudora**
I see you have guts.
**[13:51] Rimuru**
Uh...
**[14:00] Verudora**
I was trying to be nice since I
haven't had a visitor in so long,
**[14:05] Verudora**
but you seem to have a death wish.
**[14:07] Rimuru**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[14:09] Rimuru**
I had no idea you could hear my thoughts!
**[14:11] Rimuru**
I don't have a mouth or even eyes, you see...
**[14:20] Verudora**
It amazed me that you would say
such a thing after seeing me,
**[14:23] Verudora**
but it turns out you *can't* see me, eh?
**[14:25] Verudora**
All right. I will give you sight.
**[14:28] Rimuru**
Huh?
**[14:29] Verudora**
However, there will be conditions.
**[14:32] Verudora**
What do you say?
**[14:34] Rimuru**
What sort of conditions?
**[14:36] Verudora**
It's simple.
**[14:37] Verudora**
You must not fear me when you
have the ability to see me,
**[14:41] Verudora**
and you must come talk to me again.
**[14:44] Verudora**
That's all.
**[14:45] Verudora**
A good deal for you, is it not?
**[14:48] Rimuru**
That's all I have to do?
**[14:51] Verudora**
Yes. You see, I was sealed
here 300 years ago.
**[14:56] Verudora**
Ever since then, I've had nothing
to do, and it's unbearably boring.
**[15:00] Verudora**
What do you say?
**[15:01] Rimuru**
I'm curious as to why you were sealed, but...
**[15:04] Rimuru**
Okay, I'll gladly do it!
**[15:06] Verudora**
Very well. There is a
skill called Magic Sense.
**[15:09] Verudora**
Can you use it?
**[15:10] Rimuru**
No, I can't.
**[15:12] Verudora**
It allows you to sense
the magicules around you.
**[15:15] Rimuru**
If I can detect magicules,
I'll be able to see?
**[15:19] Rimuru**
Okay, I guess I'll try it.
**[15:26] Rimuru**
Hey, there's something...
**[15:29] Rimuru**
Is this the stuff you call magicules?
**[15:34] Great Sage**
*Extra skill: Magic Sense acquired.*
***SIGN*** Extra Skill

*Would you like to use Magic Sense?*
**[15:48] Rimuru**
Yes!
**[15:57] Rimuru**
I can see!
**[15:58] Rimuru**
I can see!
**[15:59] Rimuru**
I can actually see!
**[16:00] Rimuru**
Oh, yeah!
**[16:06] Rimuru**
I really am a slime.
**[16:08] Verudora**
Well?
**[16:09] Rimuru**
Oh, right!
**[16:10] Rimuru**
I did it!
**[16:12] Rimuru**
Thanks so much!
**[16:16] Rimuru**
D-Dragon?!
**[16:30] Verudora**
Allow me to formally introduce myself.
**[16:33] Rimuru**
O-Okay...
**[16:35] Verudora**
I am the Storm Dragon, Veldora.
**[16:38] Rimuru**
Storm Dragon?
**[16:40] Verudora**
I am one of only four True Dragons
that exist in this world.
**[16:51] Verudora**
Hey, you do remember our promise, don't you?
**[16:53] Rimuru**
O-Of course! I'm not scared at all!
**[16:56] Rimuru**
Well, I'll come to chat again sometime!
**[16:58] Verudora**
Hold it!
**[17:00] Verudora**
This is indeed unusual.
**[17:02] Verudora**
Slimes are normally low-ranked
monsters that don't think,
**[17:05] Verudora**
but you have self-awareness.
**[17:08] Verudora**
Are you Unique?
**[17:09] Rimuru**
What does "Unique" mean?
**[17:11] Verudora**
It refers to a being with
extraordinary abilities.
**[17:14] Rimuru**
I'm not really sure.
**[17:16] Rimuru**
The thing is, I used to be a human,
**[17:19] Rimuru**
but I got stabbed and died, and next
thing I knew, I looked like this.
**[17:24] Verudora**
I see. You were reincarnated.
**[17:26] Rimuru**
Reincarnated...
**[17:28] Rimuru**
So I really was reborn as a slime...
**[17:31] Verudora**
You came into this world
in a very unusual way.
**[17:35] Rimuru**
Huh? Unusual?
**[17:37] Verudora**
There are occasionally those who
come here from other worlds,
**[17:39] Verudora**
but you are the first I've known
of to be reincarnated here.
**[17:43] Verudora**
Most would be unable to withstand having
only their soul traverse worlds.
**[17:47] Rimuru**
So you're saying
**[17:48] Rimuru**
there are people who came here from other
worlds, but not through reincarnation?
**[17:52] Verudora**
Indeed. We call them Otherworlders.
**[17:56] Verudora**
I've heard that they gain special abilities
when they cross into this world.
**[18:01] Rimuru**
I see... I guess that's
how I got my skills, too.
**[18:05] Rimuru**
There might even be other
Japanese people here...
**[18:08] Rimuru**
I think I'd like to try and find
some of these Otherworlders.
**[18:12] Verudora**
What? You're leaving already?
**[18:15] Verudora**
*He's pouting!*
**[18:17] Rimuru**
U-Um... Maybe I'll stay a little longer.
**[18:20] Rimuru**
It's not like I have anything to do...
**[18:22] Verudora**
Oh, good! Stay as long as you like!
**[18:27] Rimuru**
So, um, you said earlier that
you were sealed here, right?
**[18:32] Verudora**
I'm glad you asked that!
**[18:36] Verudora**
It was 300 years ago...
**[18:39] Verudora**
I sort of turned a town into ashes by mistake.
**[18:42] Rimuru**
"Sort of"?
**[18:45] Verudora**
So someone came looking to slay me.
**[18:48] Verudora**
It's certainly true that I
underestimated my opponent a bit.
**[18:52] Verudora**
I started putting my full strength
into the battle partway through...
**[18:55] Verudora**
But I still lost!
**[18:58] Rimuru**
But you seem really strong.
**[19:00] Rimuru**
Was your opponent that powerful?
**[19:03] Verudora**
Yes, very powerful.
**[19:05] Verudora**
It was someone known to the humans as
a hero blessed with divine protection.
**[19:10] Rimuru**
A human hero? Sounds like
something out of a video game.
**[19:14] Verudora**
She overpowered me with her unique
skill, Absolute Severance,
***SIGN*** — Absolute Severance —
**[19:18] Verudora**
and then she sealed me using
Unlimited Imprisonment.
***SIGN*** Unlimited Imprisonment
**[19:24] Rimuru**
Is that shiny stuff her
Unlimited Imprisonment?
**[19:27] Verudora**
Yes.
**[19:28] Verudora**
The hero called herself a "Summon."
***SIGN*** Summon
**[19:32] Rimuru**
A Summon?
**[19:34] Rimuru**
Is that different from Otherworlders?
**[19:37] Rimuru**
It takes more than 30 mages to perform
a ritual that lasts several days
**[19:41] Rimuru**
to bring one here from another world.
**[19:43] Rimuru**
Oh! So there are mages here!
**[19:45] Rimuru**
This sounds more and more like a game!
**[19:47] Verudora**
They're also expected to
serve as powerful weapons.
**[19:51] Rimuru**
Weapons?
**[19:52] Verudora**
Yes, for the Summoner.
**[19:54] Verudora**
Magic is used to carve a
curse into the Summon's soul
**[19:56] Verudora**
to ensure that the Summon
can't defy the Summoner.
**[19:59] Rimuru**
What the heck?! That's just cruel!
**[20:02] Verudora**
Cruel, eh?
**[20:04] Verudora**
I don't know what your world was like,
**[20:07] Verudora**
but survival of the fittest is the
prevailing truth in this world.
**[20:11] Rimuru**
I see...
**[20:13] Rimuru**
So you've been in here ever
since that hero sealed you?
**[20:18] Verudora**
That's right.
**[20:20] Verudora**
I'm so very bored...
**[20:23] Rimuru**
I felt pretty damn lonely just because
I never had a girlfriend in 37 years...
**[20:28] Rimuru**
I can't imagine being all alone for 300 years.
**[20:32] Rimuru**
Okay!
**[20:33] Rimuru**
Why don't you and I be friends?
**[20:36] Verudora**
What?! A mere slime proposes friendship
with me, the feared Storm Dragon?!
**[20:42] Rimuru**
I-If you don't want to, I understand...
**[20:44] Verudora**
F-Fool! No one said I didn't want to!
**[20:48] Rimuru**
Uh, really? Then... what do you say?
**[20:51] Verudora**
Yes, well... if you insist...
**[20:55] Verudora**
I guess I'm willing to think about it.
**[20:57] Rimuru**
*Are you some tsundere?!*
**[20:58] Rimuru**
Yes, I insist! So that settles it!
**[21:02] Rimuru**
If you refuse, we're through.
I'll never come here again!
**[21:04] Verudora**
W-Well, all right. I'll be your friend.
You'd better be grateful!
**[21:08] Rimuru**
Just can't be honest, can you?
**[21:10] Rimuru**
Well, glad to know ya!
**[21:12] Verudora**
I-Indeed.
**[21:15] Rimuru**
It's a little embarrassing talking
about "friends" at my age...
**[21:21] Rimuru**
But that's the story of
how I got stabbed, died,
**[21:24] Rimuru**
reincarnated as a slime,
**[21:26] Rimuru**
and became friends with
the Storm Dragon Veldora.
**[21:29] Rimuru**
My totally normal,
uneventful life... is no more.
**[21:34] Rimuru**
How could this have happened?
**[21:36] Rimuru**
I never dreamed a life like
this was waiting for me!
**[21:39] Rimuru**
Or should I call it a "slife"?
**[21:42] Rimuru**
I wonder if Tamura wiped
my hard drive for me...
**[21:45] Rimuru**
I hope he didn't look at it first.
***SIGN*** * Never attempt this.
**[21:56] Tamura**
Rest in peace, Senpai.
**[22:00] Tamura**
If I ever have a son, I'll name him Satoru.
**[23:36] Great Sage**
*Next time, "Meeting the Goblins."*
