  • This season’s meetings…… no, Tempest’s Opening Festival is over.

    Rimuru easily thwarted Rosso family’s plan to undermine Tempest’s standing, with Duke Muese taking the brunt of the fall.

    Rimuru recognized that Yuuki is the boss behind Clayman with connections to the eastern merchants. This followed by Tempest receiving a letter from the Council of the West foreshadows the conflict for the next season, which was announced after the episode.

    The anime have almost caught up to the manga, around chapter 118 (latest is 122), and about half way through the LN volumes. We do not know when the next season will begin broadcasting, but manga readers can probably look forward to it going into unknown territory.











  • Continuing from the end of the last episode, Rimuru and Gazel discuss Tempest’s financial problems, at which point in stead of the OP song we got the entrance of wise and ancient Elmesia, who was acquainted with Gazel’s grandfather and called him Gazel-bou (“young Gazel”).

    Elmesia offered to exchange some gold coins from her personal magic purse to help, and gave a lesson to Tempest (and especially Diablo) what greedy schemes humans could have hatched to undermine the country. After some talks with Rimuru and assessing him, she approved an alliance between Thalion and Tempest, in return of …… getting her included in any interesting stuff Rimuru plans in the future, and an introduction to Mr. Yoshida 🍰.

    As to the tournament, Gobta fought so bravely with his new skill that even “Lightspeed” Masayuki decided to concede the fight and let Gobta win. Milim was impressed and volunteered to train Gobta and Ranga in the dungeons which Hakuro welcomed.

    Goodbye, Gobta. Goodbye, Ranga. I’ll never forget how brave you were. – Rimuru

    Masayuki finally got to eat lunch in private with Rimuru, without his doting party members. Rimuru told him that he was also from Japan and treated him Japanese cuisine. He was relieved they were not enemies and told Rimuru of his unique skill. When he learned that Tempest had mangas, he became an ally completely.

    Next episode we’ll witness the opening of Tempest’s Labyrinth, and Masayuki will show it off by challenging it.



  • I like that they covered the whole Kelvin fight this episode (they even skipped the opening to get more time) instead of having us wait for the result.

    So Kelvin had been holding back (way back, as we’d find out later in the episode) in his fights to entertain the viewers, a fact he admitted to Rick whom I guess he felt is worthy enough.

    But he finally met Broughston who was stronger, and he gave up his hesitation and went all-out after some encouragement from the gym owner. Turned out he was strong in magic also, which took a lot of hard training. He used level-eight magic which impressed the S-rank party members and a big reaction from Angelica. Broughston for his part showed his respect by giving the champion the orc quarter thumbs-up and then beat him utterly.

    It went into the ending song right after the fight, so we don’t know how Rick’s reacted to having to fight Broughston next, I doubt he’ll be let off easily just because they have secured the belt :-)
