    Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 47: Returning from the Brink
[01:33] Veldora
    Well, that really sucked.
[01:34] Rimuru
    Why'd you show up?! I didn't call you!
[01:37] Rimuru
    If you're just here for kicks, then leave!
[01:38] Veldora
    Rimuru, you're being very mean, too.
[01:42] Veldora
    Oh, well. The reason I'm here...
[01:44] Veldora
    is this!
[01:46] Rimuru
    And just what is that?
[01:48] Veldora
    What do you mean, what is it?!
[01:50] Veldora
    It ends just as it's getting good!
    Are you trying to torment me?!
[01:53] Veldora
    Where's the newest volume?!
[01:55] Veldora
    What happens to Pai and Yakumo?!
[01:57] Rimuru
    Are you telling me you only came here
    because you wanted to read that?
[02:01] Veldora
    I couldn't just sit around!
    I'm dying to know what happens!
[02:04] Veldora
    What's gonna happen to them?!
[02:04] Rimuru
    So I guess he can come to me
    even if I don't summon him...
[02:06] Veldora
    Argh! My body's acting on its own!
[02:08] Veldora
    I command you in the name
    of Veldora! Come, Tou-Chao!
[02:09] Rimuru
    Okay! Before I give you the newest
    volume, I have a favor to ask!
[02:13] Veldora
    Hm? What is it?
[02:14] Rimuru
    Could you play with Milim
    over there for a bit?
[02:18] Veldora
    Milim?
[02:20] Veldora
    Oh! My older brother's only child!
[02:22] Veldora
    This is the first time I've seen her,
    but I see she's still a kid.
[02:26] Veldora
    Very well! Leave it to me!
[02:28] Rimuru
    Your brother's only child?
    What does that mean?
[02:31] Rimuru
    Actually, never mind. Now isn't the time.
[02:34] Rimuru
    Milim is only being controlled by Clayman,
[02:37] Rimuru
    so make sure you don't hurt her.
[02:39] Veldora
    Controlled? No, Rimuru, that's...
[02:41] Rimuru
    I'm counting on you!
[02:43] Veldora
    Hey!
[02:46] Veldora
    Sheesh...
[02:47] Veldora
    All right, Milim,
    come play with me for a bit.
[02:51] Rimuru
    Ranga! You okay?
[02:53] Ranga
    Great Rimuru. I'm just fine,
    but there is a bit of a problem.
[02:58] Rimuru
    What's up?
[03:02] Nine Head
    ...me.
[03:03] Nine Head
    Help me.
[03:05] Nine Head
    Help me! Help me!
[03:07] Rimuru
    I get it. She's suffering
    under Clayman's control.
[03:12] Rimuru
    I understand. I'm coming to save you.
[03:15] Rimuru
    Ranga, hold those two down.
    Don't let them get in my way.
[03:18] Ranga
    Right!
[03:26] Raphael
    Notice.
SIGN    Notice
[03:27] Raphael
    Appraisal indicates that she is under
    the controlling spell Demon Dominate.
SIGN    Controlling Spell
[03:32] Raphael
    Undo the spell?
SIGN    Undo the spell?
[03:33] Rimuru
    Yes.
[03:51] Rimuru
    There, there.
[03:58] Rimuru
    Protect her, okay?
[04:01] Ranga
    Understood, Master!
[04:07] Rimuru
    That just leaves Viola and...
[04:13] Rimuru
    What are you doing?
[04:14] Beretta
    Ah, if it isn't Great Rimuru.
[04:17] Beretta
    I regret that I was unable to
    show you what I am capable of,
[04:20] Beretta
    but I have prepared these spoils of war.
[04:23] Rimuru
    Spoils of war?
[04:25] Rimuru
    Is that Viola, the one Clayman
    called his finest masterpiece?
[04:31] Rimuru
    You took that thing down and
    didn't even get a scratch...
[04:34] Rimuru
    Hey, Beretta, listen...
[04:36] Rimuru
    I hate to say this,
[04:38] Rimuru
    but aren't you just copying all
    of Ramiris's worst qualities?
[04:41] Rimuru
    If I'm just imagining it, that's fine, but...
[04:43] Rimuru
    What were you planning to
    do with these "spoils"?
[04:46] Beretta
    W-Well, you see, I was planning
    to present them to you!
[04:50] Beretta
    And I had the foolish idea that,
[04:52] Beretta
    after accepting them, you might offer
    Lady Ramiris and myself a place...
[04:58] Rimuru
    A place?
[04:59] Rimuru
    I know Ramiris said she
    wanted to live in Tempest,
[05:02] Rimuru
    but why would that concern you?
[05:05] Beretta
    The truth is...
[05:06] Beretta
    Earlier, Demon Lord Guy said that
    I should decide who my master is,
[05:11] Beretta
    and I told him that after assisting
    you, I would serve Lady Ramiris.
[05:17] Rimuru
    And?
[05:17] Beretta
    If Lady Ramiris relocates to Tempest,
[05:20] Beretta
    I could go there with her.
[05:23] Beretta
    And then I could be of
    use to you through her.
[05:29] Rimuru
    You know...
[05:30] Rimuru
    No, you really do sound
    more and more like Ramiris.
[05:33] Beretta
    I am delighted by your generous praise.
[05:35] Rimuru
    That wasn't praise!
[05:38] Rimuru
    Okay, we'll put that on hold for now.
[05:41] Rimuru
    A place for you guys isn't something I can
    come up with easily. Let me think about it.
[05:45] Beretta
    Yes, of course. Understood.
[05:47] Veldora
    Hadouken!
[05:48] Veldora
    Hadouken!
[05:49] Veldora
    Hadouken!
[05:50] Veldora
    Hadouken!
[05:51] Veldora
    Hadouken!
[05:52] Veldora
    Hadouken!
[05:53] Veldora
    Hadouken! Hadouken! Hadouken! Hadouken!
[05:55] Rimuru
    Where did he learn that?
[05:57] Veldora
    Shoryuken!
[05:59] Veldora
    And then... Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!
[06:03] Rimuru
    That just leaves...
[06:11] Shion
    Is that all you have?
[06:13] Shion
    You're too weak to call
    yourself a Demon Lord.
[06:15] Clayman
    H-How dare you?! You will regret that!
[06:18] Clayman
    Go, Marionette Dance!
[06:30] Shion
    Useless.
[06:32] Shion
    I guess you really aren't all that special.
[06:35] Clayman
    E-Enough of your nonsense!
[06:37] Clayman
    You shouldn't be gloating so soon!
[06:40] Clayman
    Marionette Dance will recover
    instantly and come after you!
[06:44] Clayman
    The real fight has yet to begin!
[06:49] Shion
    When does the real fight begin?
[06:51] Clayman
    I-Impossible!
[06:53] Clayman
    Why isn't it recovering?!
[06:56] Rimuru
    I don't wanna deal with this, so I'll tell you.
[06:59] Rimuru
    That big sword Shion has is a Soul Eater.
[07:03] Clayman
    Y-You mean it's a sword that
    deals spiritual damage?!
[07:06] Rimuru
    It's not that rare, is it?
[07:08] Rimuru
    A human,
[07:09] Rimuru
    Hinata Sakaguchi, had one, too.
[07:11] Rimuru
    A friend of mine made it for
    her using that as a reference.
[07:17] Clayman
    So that's it.
[07:19] Clayman
    Then I will add that impudent
    sword to my collection, as well!
[07:23] Clayman
    Take this! Demon Marionette!
[07:33] Clayman
    Rejoice!
[07:34] Clayman
    This is the ultimate spell that
    can control even a Demon Lord!
[07:37] Clayman
    It's a waste to use it on
    mere majin such as you two,
[07:41] Clayman
    but I need to rebuild my Five Fingers,
[07:43] Clayman
    so I'll make good use of
    you as my new minions!
[07:47] Shion
    Excuse me. What is this supposed to be?
[07:50] Clayman
    Huh?!
[07:51] Shion
    I don't feel a thing.
    Should I give it a little more time?
[07:54] Clayman
    Th-That can't be!
[07:56] Clayman
    Impossible! It's impossible!
[07:59] Clayman
    This is the ultimate spell that
    can control even a Demon Lord!
[08:10] Shion
    Absolutely useless.
[08:12] Shion
    If you need to rely on cheap moves like that,
[08:14] Shion
    you aren't worth calling a Demon Lord.
[08:18] Clayman
    You'll pay for that, you insect!
[08:20] Clayman
    I'll make you regret forcing
    me to use my full strength!
[08:38] Clayman
    I see! Yes, that's right!
[08:43] Clayman
    A Demon Lord! I am a Demon Lord!
[08:46] Clayman
    Which is why I am particular
    about how I fight,
[08:47] Clayman
    always burying my enemies
    with grace and elegance!
[08:51] Clayman
    But no more! No more of that!
[08:54] Clayman
    I had almost forgotten this feeling!
[08:58] Clayman
    I will squash you with my own hands!
[09:12] Shion
    Oh?
[09:13] Shion
    This is a bit better.
    My opinion of you has improved.
[09:17] Shion
    I am Shion, guard and secretary
    to Demon Lord Rimuru,
[09:20] Shion
    and I shall be your opponent!
[09:22] Clayman
    I am Demon Lord—no, Crazy Pierrot Clayman!
[09:27] Clayman
    I will kill you, majin Shion!
[10:15] Rimuru
    This fight is over.
[10:18] Clayman
    I-Impossible... It can't be...
[10:21] Clayman
    I... I c-couldn't have...
[10:25] Clayman
    I, Clayman, a Demon Lord...
[10:28] Shion
    Great Rimuru, may I finish him?
[10:32] Clayman
    D-Damn it!
[10:33] Clayman
    Milim! What is Milim doing?!
[10:35] Clayman
    Decimate this rabble right this ins—
[10:41] Clayman
    Wh-Who is that? Wh-What... What is that?
[10:45] Clayman
    What is that phenomenal power?!
[10:47] Rimuru
    That's my friend, Veldora.
[10:56] Veldora
    Tetsuzanko!
[10:59] Veldora
    Kamehame...
[11:04] Veldora
    ha!
[11:09] Clayman
    F-Frey!
[11:10] Clayman
    What are you doing?!
    Come and help me at once!
[11:14] Frey
    Oh, I'm sorry, Clayman.
[11:17] Frey
    No one can pass through this
    barrier without Guy's consent.
[11:21] Frey
    It's truly a shame.
[11:23] Clayman
    Tch! Milim! Milim, I say!
[11:25] Clayman
    Obey my command and use your Stampede!
[11:28] Clayman
    Kill every single person here!
[11:32] Rimuru
    Whoa, whoa! I can't believe
    he just said that!
[11:38] Milim
    Why should I do that?
[11:47] Milim
    Rimuru and Shion are my friends!
[11:53] Rimuru
    Milim?! Wait, weren't you under his control?
[12:01] Milim
    It appears you were
    successfully fooled, Rimuru!
[12:04] Rimuru
    Y-You weren't under his
    control from the start?!
[12:07] Milim
    Nope!
[12:14] Veldora
    It was obvious to me at first glance.
[12:17] Ramiris
    Huh? Wha?
[12:19] Daggrull
    Imagine that...
[12:19] Deeno
    She didn't react at all
    to being punched earlier.
[12:26] Clayman
    B-But I used the mind-controlling
    stone that he gave me!
[12:31] Clayman
    Sh-She should have been
    completely under my power!
[12:34] Clayman
    Did she not kill Carrion at my order?!
[12:38] Rimuru
    Oh, boy. He just admitted it.
[12:41] Rimuru
    And there really is someone
    else behind it all.
[12:43] Milim
    You really thought I could be
    controlled with a thing like this?
[12:53] Milim
    Answer me, Clayman!
[12:55] Milim
    Who is the "he" you were talking about?!
[13:02] Rimuru
    So you suspected something
    was up from the start?
[13:05] Rimuru
    But then why—
[13:07] Carrion
    Hey, who are you calling dead?
[13:11] Rimuru
    No way!
[13:18] Rimuru
    C-Carrion?! He was in an
    obvious disguise like that?!
[13:23] Rimuru
    I get the feeling Raphael-san
    is exasperated with me...
[13:28] Rimuru
    B-Beastmaster Carrion! You're okay!
[13:32] Carrion
    I wouldn't say I'm entirely "okay."
[13:35] Carrion
    Thanks for looking after my subordinates.
[13:37] Rimuru
    That was nothing!
[13:40] Clayman
    Wha... No... Then it's true?
[13:44] Clayman
    But Frey's report said...
[13:47] Clayman
    I get it! Frey!
[13:49] Clayman
    You betrayed me, as well, didn't you?!
[13:51] Frey
    Oh? When did you get the mistaken
    idea that I was ever on your side?
[13:56] Clayman
    D-Don't... Don't you toy with me!
[13:59] Clayman
    All of you will pay!
[14:03] Clayman
    I won't let you get away with this!
[14:06] Rimuru
    Shion!
[14:06] Shion
    I'm on it.
[14:47] Frey
    I had faith that you couldn't be manipulated,
[14:50] Frey
    but you had me nervous.
[14:52] Frey
    Still, you kept your
    promise to me. Thank you.
[14:59] Milim
    We're friends, after all! Of course I did!
[15:01] Milim
    But more importantly, you still
    have what I gave you, right?
[15:05] Frey
    Yes, yes.
[15:07] Frey
    You mean this?
[15:10] Milim
    That's right!
[15:14] Milim
    This is it!
[15:16] Milim
    Lookie! Lookie!
[15:21] Leon
    What a cheap play this was.
[15:24] Ramiris
    I-I knew what was going on all along!
[15:26] Daggrull
    I-Indeed! I knew that must be the case!
[15:29] Deeno
    Yeah, I guess so, huh?
[15:32] Milim
    Rimuru!
[15:34] Milim
    I was so happy to find out that
    you were angry on my behalf!
[15:37] Rimuru
    I can't believe you...
[15:38] Rimuru
    I'm relieved, though.
[15:42] Clayman
    H-How long?
[15:45] Clayman
    H-How long were you deceiving me?
[15:49] Milim
    Yeah, it wasn't easy!
    You're super cautious, after all!
[15:53] Milim
    And that's why I worked
    super-duper hard at it!
[15:57] Rimuru
    Hey, Raphael-san, did you know
    Milim wasn't being controlled, too?
[16:02] Rimuru
    You did, huh?
[16:04] Rimuru
    That's why you couldn't identify the spell.
[16:07] Rimuru
    Yeah, uh, sorry.
[16:10] Carrion
    By the way, Milim...
[16:11] Milim
    What?
[16:13] Carrion
    You weren't under his control, correct?
[16:16] Milim
    That's what I said!
[16:17] Carrion
    Which means you were willingly
    and happily tormenting me?
[16:22] Carrion
    Eh?
[16:25] Milim
    W-Well, that was, um...
    What would you call it?
[16:29] Milim
    What would... uh...
[16:32] Carrion
    No, no, it's fine. It just means I'm weak.
[16:36] Carrion
    But it also means that when
    you destroyed my kingdom,
[16:40] Carrion
    you did it of your own will, doesn't it?
[16:44] Milim
    Carrion, do little details
    like that even matter?!
[16:46] Carrion
    It's not a little detail!
    One misstep, and I would've died, too!
[16:50] Milim
    Oh, shut up! Just shut up!
[16:52] Milim
    It was just passionate acting—I mean,
    just me working hard to fool Clayman!
[16:57] Milim
    So the one to blame is Clayman!
[17:00] Carrion
    What, so it's Clayman's fault?
[17:03] Carrion
    Oh, whatever.
[17:06] Rimuru
    Now, now... The Beastketeers and the
    people of your kingdom are all safe,
[17:09] Rimuru
    and we all fought our best
    today to help you get revenge.
[17:13] Rimuru
    I don't think this has been all bad.
[17:16] Carrion
    You're right, Rimuru.
[17:19] Carrion
    Sorry you had to console me.
[17:21] Rimuru
    Really, don't worry about it.
[17:23] Rimuru
    Besides, you can always rebuild a city.
[17:25] Rimuru
    I took Clayman's majin henchmen prisoner
[17:28] Rimuru
    to make laborers of them for that purpose.
[17:30] Carrion
    Wait, are you serious?
[17:32] Rimuru
    We'll help, too.
[17:34] Rimuru
    Let's make it an even nicer,
    more comfortable nation than before!
[17:37] Rimuru
    We helped ourselves to plenty of
    funds from Clayman's treasury, too.
[17:45] Carrion
    I appreciate it!
[17:46] Carrion
    Rimuru... no, Mr. Rimuru!
[17:48] Carrion
    I swear that the Animal Kingdom
    will hereby spare no effort
[17:52] Carrion
    to assist your nation as a permanent ally!
[18:03] Milim
    Good for you, Carrion! You have
    me to thank for this, too!
[18:07] Carrion
    You really ought to give more
    thought to what you've done!
[18:13] Guy
    Laborers, eh?
[18:15] Guy
    I thought you were a naïve
    fool to let those majin live,
[18:19] Guy
    but it seems you have some
    very interesting ideas.
[18:23] Guy
    I can see why Black took a liking to you.
[18:26] Rimuru
    Huh? Black? Who's that?
[18:29] Frey
    Say, Clayman.
[18:31] Frey
    I didn't interfere because Milim
    was trying so hard to endure,
[18:34] Frey
    but you made me a bit angry, too.
[18:37] Carrion
    Even if survival of the fittest is our rule,
[18:40] Carrion
    you went a bit too far.
[18:42] Carrion
    We will have revenge on you for
    the mess you made of our kingdom.
[18:52] (Flashback) Laplace
    Don't let your guard down.
[18:55] Clayman
    Yes, Laplace...
[18:58] Clayman
    You were right.
[19:01] Clayman
    All of you placed your trust in me
[19:03] Clayman
    and gave me the role of Demon Lord,
[19:06] Clayman
    but it seems this is the end.
[19:19] (Flashback) Tear
    Clayman.
[19:21] (Flashback) Tear
    You're weaker than all of us,
[19:24] (Flashback) Tear
    so don't do anything reckless on your own.
[19:27] Clayman
    Yes, Tear...
[19:31] (Flashback) Footman
    Tear is right.
[19:33] (Flashback) Footman
    Make sure you rely on us.
[19:37] Clayman
    Yes, Footman.
[19:40] Clayman
    That's right. I had forgotten.
[19:44] Clayman
    I wanted to get as close
    to all of you as possible.
[19:47] Clayman
    I wanted you to recognize me as a member
[19:49] Clayman
    of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance.
[19:52] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Hey, you're Clayman, right?
[19:56] (Flashback) Clayman
    You address me so casually.
    Do you wish to die?
[19:59] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Come on, don't be so wary.
[20:02] (Flashback) Yuuki
    I'm here by invitation, you know.
[20:05] (Flashback) Clayman
    Invitation?
[20:06] (Flashback) Yuuki
    From your creator, Kazalim.
[20:13] (Flashback) Yuuki
    So I'm going to make this world mine,
[20:16] (Flashback) Yuuki
    and I want you to help me.
[20:20] (Flashback) Clayman
    Interesting. Is that a request?
[20:23] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Yes, for the Moderate Harlequin Alliance.
[20:26] (Flashback) Clayman
    What is the reward?
[20:28] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Let's see...
[20:29] (Flashback) Yuuki
    How about the resurrection
    of Demon Lord Kazalim?
[20:34] (Flashback) Clayman
    Very well.
[20:40] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Let's take this world with our own hands.
[20:42] (Flashback) Yuuki
    And then we'll spend our lives having fun!
[20:47] Clayman
    The resurrection of Demon
    Lord Kazalim was achieved,
[20:51] Clayman
    yet my carelessness caused this whole mess.
[20:55] Kazalim
    Clayman, you are much like me.
[20:59] Kazalim
    You can take after me, but just
    don't take after my bad sides.
[21:04] Clayman
    Lord Kazalim...
[21:08] Clayman
    I can't... can't die yet!
[21:13] Clayman
    If I die now, before I
    could accomplish anything,
[21:15] Clayman
    I can never forgive myself!
[21:19] Clayman
    I don't care if I never
    awaken as a True Demon Lord.
[21:22] Clayman
    So please... Just give me power...
[21:28] Clayman
    Overwhelming power!
[21:30] Clayman
    Give it to me!

[21:44] Clayman
    The heavens have not yet abandoned me!
[21:50] Rimuru
    Get away, Shion!
[22:05] Rimuru
    Looks like it's really begun now.
[22:08] Shion
    Great Rimuru, what has started?
[22:09] Rimuru
    Clayman's awakening. Just as planned.
[22:13] Shion
    Oh, you planned for this?
    I'm not concerned, then!
[22:16] Rimuru
    Yes...
[22:17] Rimuru
    It's all going according
    to Raphael-san's plan.
[22:20] Rimuru
    That mass of hatred
[22:22] Rimuru
    is the remnants of all the souls
    of the people Clayman has killed.
[22:26] Rimuru
    We're releasing them.
[22:28] Rimuru
    And Clayman's awakening
    was necessary for that.
[22:31] Carrion
    Awakening?!
[22:33] Carrion
    I don't want to believe it,
    but that power is indeed immense.
[22:35] Carrion
    We should also—
[22:36] Rimuru
    No, Carrion-san. This one's all mine.
[22:41] Rimuru
    I took the title of Demon Lord, too,
[22:43] Rimuru
    so I want to set a place for myself.
[22:46] Rimuru
    I'll get rid of him and
    get them to recognize me.
[22:53] Carrion
    You'd better not lose.
[22:58] Milim
    Rimuru, you can do it!
[23:00] Ramiris
    Keep it together!
[23:12] Rimuru
    Okay, Clayman, let's finish this.
[23:17] Clayman
    Behold! I have acquired power!
[23:22] Clayman
    All of you who made such a fool of me!
[23:25] Clayman
    You will accept my retribution!
