[00:04] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Sorry for the wait, everyone.
[00:06] (Flashback) Rimuru
    We're going to begin our meeting now.
[00:09] (Flashback) Rimuru
    The topics are how we'll deal
    with humans from now on...
[00:13] (Flashback) Rimuru
    and the resurrection of Shion and the others.
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 33: Putting Everything on the Line
[01:49] (Flashback) Eren
    The story of a girl and a dragon.
[01:53] (Flashback) Eren
    The girl was the daughter
    of a human and a dragon,
[01:55] (Flashback) Eren
    and she was raised as the Dragon Princess.
[01:59] (Flashback) Eren
    One day, her father, a dragon,
[02:02] (Flashback) Eren
    made a double of himself in
    the form of a baby dragon
[02:05] (Flashback) Eren
    and gave it to her as a companion.
[02:07] (Flashback) Eren
    But then...
[02:09] (Flashback) Eren
    In an effort to take control
    over the Dragon Princess,
[02:12] (Flashback) Eren
    the king killed the baby dragon.
[02:16] (Flashback) Eren
    The girl went mad with pain, grief, and rage.
[02:21] (Flashback) Eren
    With the power she had
    inherited from her father,
[02:24] (Flashback) Eren
    she destroyed the king along
    with his entire nation,
[02:28] (Flashback) Eren
    including tens of thousands of people.
[02:31] (Flashback) Eren
    Then the girl transformed into a Demon Lord,
[02:35] (Flashback) Eren
    and when she did, the baby dragon
    miraculously came back to life.
[02:41] (Flashback) Eren
    But since it had lost its soul when it died,
[02:45] (Flashback) Eren
    it came back as an evil monster
    with no will of its own
[02:47] (Flashback) Eren
    that destroyed everything in its path:
[02:50] (Flashback) Eren
    the Chaos Dragon.
[02:54] (Flashback) Eren
    Though it hurt her deeply,
[02:56] (Flashback) Eren
    the girl sealed away her
    once-beloved companion.
[03:00] (Flashback) Eren
    This was the first thing she accomplished
    upon becoming a Demon Lord.
[03:07] Rimuru
    And that's why
[03:09] Rimuru
    I'm going to become a Demon Lord.
[03:16] Lizard
    What? Great Rimuru's going
    to be a Demon Lord?!
[03:19] Lizard
    Shh!
[03:20] Lizard
    Sorry.
[03:22] Rimuru
    That army heading here from
    the Kingdom of Falmuth...
[03:29] Rimuru
    I'm going to use ten thousand of them as
    nourishment to evolve into a Demon Lord.
[03:37] Rimuru
    The chance of Shion and the others
    being resurrected is a whole 3%.
[03:48] Shuna
    B-But Great Rimuru...
[03:50] Rimuru
    Now, hang on.
[03:51] Rimuru
    I'm sure you have questions
    and things you'd like to say,
[03:54] Rimuru
    but hear me out until the end first.
[03:57] Shuna
    All right.
[04:00] Rimuru
    I'm a former human who reincarnated here.
[04:04] Rimuru
    I lived as a human in the same world
    your "Otherworlders" came from.
[04:10] Rimuru
    I died there...
SIGN    Rock
[04:26] Rimuru
    and ended up reborn here,
[04:29] Rimuru
    as a slime.
[04:40] Rimuru
    At first, I was completely
    on my own and lonely...
[04:54] Rimuru
    But even in that state, I found friends...
[05:09] Rimuru
    and allies.
[05:43] Rimuru
    That's all of you.
[05:45] Rimuru
    I'd even call you my family.
[05:49] Rimuru
    You're that important to me.
[05:57] Rimuru
    I said I liked humans and made the
    rule that we wouldn't attack them
[06:01] Rimuru
    because I used to be a human.
[06:04] Rimuru
    I'm a monster, but I considered
    myself human at heart.
[06:08] Rimuru
    That's why I hoped to mingle with
    humans and get along with them...
[06:13] Rimuru
    Regretting that now won't
    erase what's happened,
[06:16] Rimuru
    but it was never my intention
    to hurt you guys because of it.
[06:23] Rimuru
    If I had come back here sooner
[06:26] Rimuru
    instead of staying so long in Engrassia...
[06:28] Shuna
    No, that's not true.
[06:31] Shuna
    We are to blame for relying too
    heavily on you to protect us.
[06:37] Shuna
    This tragedy was the result of that.
[06:39] Benimaru
    My younger sister said it before I could.
[06:42] Benimaru
    I'm a poor excuse for an older brother.
[06:45] Benimaru
    What happened here made me
    painfully aware of this.
[06:48] Benimaru
    When the barrier cut off
    our connection to you,
[06:51] Benimaru
    the constant sense that we
    were all-powerful vanished.
[06:53] Benimaru
    In my heart, I felt the panic of
    losing the one I had relied upon.
[06:58] Benimaru
    You asked me to look after
    the place in your absence,
[07:00] Benimaru
    but the fault for failing to stop this
    tragedy before it happened is mine.
[07:04] Rigur
    Wait, Benimaru!
[07:06] Rigur
    If that's the case, it was my
    fault as the head of the guard!
[07:09] Rigur
    The responsibility is mine!
[07:11] Geld
    No.
[07:12] Geld
    I should have kept a sharper eye
    on the first ones to use that road.
[07:16] Rimuru
    Huh?!
[07:18] Gobta
    It's my fault.
[07:20] Gobta
    I might have egged the
    bad guys on too much...
[07:23] Rigur
    You couldn't help that.
[07:24] Rimuru
    Wait! Wait! Wait just a minute!
[07:27] Rimuru
    I'm the one who was too careless!
[07:29] Rimuru
    I put my own feelings first,
    and this is what happened.
[07:33] Rimuru
    All of the blame falls on me.
[07:35] Rimuru
    I'm truly sorry.
[07:38] Shuna
    Great Rimuru...
[07:42] Hakuro
    Great Rimuru.
[07:45] Hakuro
    The fact that you prioritized
    your own feelings
[07:49] Hakuro
    is not a problem in the slightest.
[07:52] Hakuro
    This happened because we
    all let our guard down,
[07:55] Hakuro
    and because we were all weak.
[07:57] Hakuro
    It was our own negligence that allowed
    those scoundrels to have their way.
[08:03] Hakuro
    Am I right, all of you?!
[08:10] Rimuru
    You guys...
[08:12] Rigurd
    Great Rimuru.
[08:13] Rigurd
    You are our one and only leader.
[08:16] Rigurd
    Whether you befriend humans
    or become a Demon Lord,
[08:19] Rigurd
    your wishes are the path we must follow.
[08:23] Rimuru
    It doesn't bother you to have
    a former human as your leader?
[08:26] Gobta
    Huh?
[08:28] Gobta
    You're still Great Rimuru, aren't you?
[08:30] Rimuru
    Well, of course, but...
[08:34] Shuna
    It is you we love and admire, Great Rimuru.
[08:37] Shuna
    What you were in your previous
    life makes no difference.
[08:40] Benimaru
    Indeed.
[08:45] Rigurd
    We all feel the same.
[08:47] Rigurd
    No one here is concerned about such details.
[08:51] Rigurd
    We will follow you, and that is all!
[08:54] Rimuru
    Really?
[08:57] Guy
    Yeah, that's right!
[09:03] Kaijin
    So now I'd like to know...
[09:10] Kaijin
    How do you think we should
    treat humans from now on?
[09:14] Rimuru
    Well, as I see it,
    humans can be either good or evil.
[09:20] Rimuru
    It might just be in each individual's nature,
[09:23] Rimuru
    but they're greatly influenced
    by the environment they're in.
[09:27] Rimuru
    Even if an individual is good,
[09:28] Rimuru
    if the country they live
    in turns down an evil path,
[09:31] Rimuru
    they'll eventually feel its influence.
[09:34] Rimuru
    So I'd like to create an environment
    where humans can learn.
[09:39] Rimuru
    Maybe if they learn more about
    us, they can be good neighbors,
[09:43] Rimuru
    and maybe we can erase the boundary
    between humans and monsters.
[09:48] Rimuru
    I want to believe that's a possibility.
[09:52] Rimuru
    Still, that's just my hope for the future.
[09:56] Rimuru
    That kind of thinking is premature right now.
[09:59] Rimuru
    What we need to do first is get the
    humans to acknowledge our existence.
[10:03] Benimaru
    I get it.
[10:05] Benimaru
    With you ruling as a Demon Lord,
[10:08] Benimaru
    they'll know they're at a disadvantage
    in negotiations through force.
[10:11] Rimuru
    Right.
[10:12] Rimuru
    I'll also keep the other Demon Lords in check
[10:15] Rimuru
    and act as a shield to protect
    the human nations from them.
[10:20] Geld
    Anyone with a brain would choose
    coexistence over hostility.
[10:24] Rimuru
    Exactly.
[10:25] Rimuru
    We'll take our time building
    friendly relationships with them.
[10:31] Rimuru
    That's my idea.
[10:37] Kaijin
    That's awfully idealistic of you.
[10:40] Kaijin
    Not the kind of thing a future
    Demon Lord would say. Sheesh.
[10:45] Kaijin
    But I don't dislike that.
[10:48] Kaijin
    It's you through and through.
[10:50] Shuna
    So what if it's idealistic?
[10:53] Shuna
    I believe Great Rimuru can create
    that kind of dream world.
[10:59] Geld
    There's no need to overthink it.
[11:02] Geld
    All we need to do is trust Great Rimuru.
[11:05] Benimaru
    If you're going to become a Demon Lord,
[11:07] Benimaru
    be sure to prepare some kind of job for me.
[11:10] Soei
    We are your faithful shadows.
[11:13] Soei
    We will obey your orders.
[11:15] Soka
    As you command.
[11:16] Gabiru
    Same goes for us, of course!
[11:18] Rimuru
    Thanks, guys.
[11:20] Ranga
    Master, I shall faithfully
    serve as your fangs.
[11:24] Ranga
    Any who stand in your
    way will die to my bite.
[11:26] Rimuru
    Ranga...
[11:29] Youm
    Good grief.
[11:30] Youm
    I bet you want us to create a new nation
[11:33] Youm
    and help with raising awareness, right?
[11:36] Rimuru
    You totally get it, Youm-chan!
[11:40] Youm
    Say what you want.
[11:45] Eren
    Rimuru, let's continue to be good friends.
[11:50] Rimuru
    Yeah, of course!
[11:52] Rimuru
    Thank you, everyone!
[11:54] Rimuru
    I hope you'll all continue to indulge me!
[11:57] All
    Right!
[11:57] All
    Yes, of course!
[12:03] Rimuru
    I was so happy.
[12:05] Rimuru
    I realized that this really was my home.
[12:09] Rimuru
    The boundary between human and monster
[12:12] Rimuru
    can be overcome with a little communication.
[12:16] Rimuru
    I believed that more than ever.
[12:23] Rimuru
    Now, then...
[12:25] Rimuru
    Do we know the specifics of the enemy army?
[12:27] Benimaru
    Yes. According to Soei's information,
[12:31] Benimaru
    if the approaching force
    keeps up its current pace,
[12:34] Benimaru
    it will reach Tempest in about three days.
[12:42] Benimaru
    There are ten thousand knights from Falmuth,
[12:46] Benimaru
    six thousand mercenaries,
[12:49] Benimaru
    and around a thousand magic users.
[12:52] Benimaru
    It also includes three thousand Temple
    Knights of the Western Holy Church,
[12:57] Benimaru
    making it an allied force.
[12:59] Shuna
    So twenty thousand in all...
[13:02] Rimuru
    They have high numbers,
    but not that much strength.
[13:05] Rimuru
    Not a problem.
[13:07] Rigurd
    That's our Great Rimuru!
[13:10] Rimuru
    Twenty thousand...
[13:11] Rimuru
    More than enough for the nourishment
    I need to become a Demon Lord.
[13:16] Rimuru
    Taking in human souls is
    probably what will make me
[13:19] Rimuru
    evolve into a true Demon Lord.
[13:22] Geld
    How shall we allocate our forces?
[13:24] Benimaru
    I think my force should
    face them upon arrival.
[13:27] Gobta
    Let the Goblin Riders be
    part of the vanguard, too!
[13:30] Rimuru
    Actually, sorry, but leave
    the allied force to me.
[13:34] Gobta
    Huh?
[13:35] Rimuru
    I have a reason.
[13:36] Rimuru
    It has to do with the revival of our fallen,
[13:39] Rimuru
    but it's essential that I become
    a Demon Lord to make it work.
[13:44] Rimuru
    And taking out the invading army myself
[13:47] Rimuru
    is a necessary part of the
    process to become a Demon Lord.
[13:50] Benimaru
    I see...
[13:54] Rigurd
    Regardless, it seems too dangerous
    to face them on your own.
[13:58] Rimuru
    Don't worry.
[13:59] Rimuru
    I won't be careless, and I won't hold back.
[14:02] Rigurd
    I-If you say so...
[14:05] Rimuru
    There's another reason.
[14:11] Rimuru
    I still feel like this
    whole thing was my fault.
[14:16] Rimuru
    To make sure I never allow myself
    to become complacent again...
[14:24] Benimaru
    Understood. We will entrust this to you.
[14:29] Rimuru
    On that note, there's something else
    I want you guys to take care of.
[14:33] Benimaru
    Of course.
[14:34] Rigurd
    Just name it!
[14:38] Rimuru
    There are devices placed around the city in
    all four directions to maintain the barrier.
[14:43] Rimuru
    They're being guarded
    by companies of knights.
[14:46] Rimuru
    I want you to take all of them out at once.
[14:50] Benimaru
    Oh?
[14:51] Rigurd
    Then we will each need to choose our troops.
[14:55] Rigur
    Please allow me to do it!
[14:56] Gobta
    And me!
[14:57] Gobta
    I'm seriously angry about all this!
[15:00] Rimuru
    Take it easy. I've already chosen the troops.
[15:05] Rimuru
    We'll send Benimaru to the east,
[15:08] Rimuru
    and to the west, Hakuro,
    Rigur, Gobta, and Geld.
[15:13] Rimuru
    Gabiru and his men will take the south,
[15:17] Rimuru
    and Soei and Soka will
    lead their party north.
[15:20] Soei
    Thank you for granting us
    an opportunity to take part.
[15:23] Gabiru
    We're on it!
[15:25] Lizards
    Yeah!
[15:27] Rimuru
    Think you can win?
[15:28] Soei
    Quite easily.
[15:30] Rimuru
    Good.
[15:31] Rimuru
    Benimaru...
[15:33] Rimuru
    I don't doubt your strength, but you'll
    be facing nearly a hundred knights alone.
[15:38] Rimuru
    If you run into trouble...
[15:39] Benimaru
    You need not worry.
[15:41] Rimuru
    There's no need for any of
    you to hold back this time.
[15:44] Benimaru
    Even less cause for concern, then.
[15:48] Hakuro
    Great Rimuru, I have no
    intention of failing again.
[15:52] Hakuro
    But deploying me to the west means...
[16:01] Hakuro
    There is a good chance they will be there.
[16:03] Hakuro
    Is that correct?
[16:05] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[16:07] Rimuru
    They're probably blocking the
    path of escape to Blumund.
[16:10] Rimuru
    They'd set some troops aside for that.
[16:13] Rimuru
    There's a good chance their attackers
    will be Otherworlders, like me...
[16:18] Hakuro
    That will not be a problem.
[16:21] Hakuro
    I lost before because I let my guard down,
[16:24] Hakuro
    but I am now keenly aware
    of how they operate.
[16:29] Rimuru
    Good. I'm counting on you.
[16:31] Rigur
    Great Rimuru! We aren't the
    weaklings we used to be, either!
[16:35] Rigur
    We have the strength to fight, and not to
    need Sir Hakuro's protection all the time!
[16:39] Gobta
    That's right! I've gotta avenge Gobzo!
[16:42] Geld
    I will use the Orc King powers
    you have given me to the fullest!
[16:48] Rimuru
    I couldn't be happier to hear that.
[16:50] Rimuru
    Okay, everyone I just named
    will destroy those devices
[16:53] Rimuru
    so the barrier can't weaken everyone anymore.
[16:55] All
    Right!
[16:56] Rimuru
    Shuna.
[16:58] Shuna
    Yes?
[16:59] Rimuru
    There's a good chance this damn barrier
[17:01] Rimuru
    is what's keeping Shion and
    the others' souls here.
[17:04] Rimuru
    You get me?
[17:05] Shuna
    Yes.
[17:07] Shuna
    We just need another barrier to replace it.
[17:09] Rimuru
    Exactly.
[17:11] Shuna
    You can count on me.
[17:12] Shuna
    I will give my all to increase the chances
    of reviving them, even if only slightly.
[17:17] Rimuru
    On that note... Mjurran.
[17:20] Rimuru
    I'd like to make use of your powers, too.
[17:22] Rimuru
    Will you help Shuna?
[17:24] Mjurran
    Understood.
[17:26] Mjurran
    I will live up to your expectations.
    It's the least I can do to atone.
[17:31] Shuna
    I appreciate it, Mjurran.
[17:33] Mjurran
    Yes, likewise.
[17:35] Youm
    And we'll be guarding them, right?
[17:38] Grucius
    Yep.
[17:39] Eren
    We'll help protect Shuna, too!
[17:42] Kaval
    Yeah!
[17:43] Gido
    Just leave it to us!
[17:46] Rimuru
    Rigurd, I'm putting you in command.
[17:48] Rigurd
    Right!
[17:50] Rimuru
    The allied force is probably expecting
    a final battle in three days,
[17:54] Rimuru
    but we're commencing the operation to
    annihilate them as of this very moment.
[17:59] Shion
    We're bringing Shion, Gobzo,
    and all the others back to life!
[18:02] All
    Right!
[18:27] Rimuru
    Allies...
[18:29] Rimuru
    Friends...
[18:31] Rimuru
    Family...
[18:33] Rimuru
    They're such nice things to have.
[18:36] Rimuru
    Well, I should get ready, too.
[18:42] Rimuru
    Wait a minute...
[18:46] Rimuru
    Is it possible that the ten thousand
    human souls are what Clayman's after?
[18:54] Rimuru
    He plans to use us to start a war,
[18:56] Rimuru
    then harvest those souls all at once...
[19:00] Rimuru
    so he can become a True Demon Lord himself?
[19:07] Rimuru
    If that's the case, then Clayman's just
    small fry that I don't need to bother with.
[19:13] Rimuru
    But...
[19:15] Rimuru
    I already regard him as an enemy.
[19:18] Rimuru
    Once this is over, my next step will be...
[19:28] Lizard
    Sir Gabiru!
[19:31] Lizard
    Hey!
[19:33] Gabiru
    You guys!
[19:35] Lizard
    Great Rimuru freed us from the barrier!
[19:38] Gabiru
    I see! I'm so glad you're all safe!
[19:41] Lizard
    And you, as well, Sir Gabiru!
[19:42] Lizard
    We're so glad you're safe!
[19:44] Gabiru
    Y-You guys!
[19:50] Gabiru
    We may have been born at different times,
[19:52] Gabiru
    but we will all die together!
[19:54] Lizards
    Sir Gabiru!
[19:57] Gabiru
    You guys!
[20:00] Soka
    Are you done?
[20:01] Gabiru
    Uh... Yes.
[20:03] Soei
    Then, let's go.
[20:06] Gabiru
    Ooh...
[20:09] Gabiru
    All right, men! Are you ready?!
[20:12] All
    Yeah!
[20:13] Gabiru
    Let's show them how strong we Dragonewts are!
[20:16] All
    Yeah!
[20:19] Gabiru
    Now... move out!
[20:26] Lizard
    Sir Gabiru's so cool!
[20:28] Lizard
    Naturally!
[20:29] Lizard
    Right! Let's follow him!
[21:48] Rimuru
    These are the ones who killed
    Shion and the rest...
[21:52] Rimuru
    Looks like there's no need
    to grant them forgiveness.
