**[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.
**[21:57] Rimuru**
You're all going to be food for me.
**[22:00] Rimuru**
Well...
**[22:04] Rimuru**
Let's get started.
**[23:36] Great Sage**
*Next time, "Megiddo."*
***SIGN*** Megiddo
