Slime 4x7 - Mariabell is CAUGHT

Something I’ve noticed for all anime, is that when I notice something like hair being animated really well, there’s almost certainly a crazy fight scene is about to happen.

Not a spoiler: So think of naming monsters from a video game perspective, but don't connect the video game perspective to the world of slime. Named monsters are essentially the same as named bosses in video games. If you came across a goblin in a video game, it would essentially be fodder that you don't even think about. But if you came across a goblin that's been named, they would more often than not be an enemy that has a plot line attached to them and be a more difficult enemy to face. That being said, you never do come across a named goblin in games, do you? You would however come across a hobgoblin that's a named character that normally leads other goblins. That and the magicules that our slime friend here used to name them go into evolving them to a higher form. Humans on the other hand aren't usually named characters. They are characters with titles instead. Titles that they have to earn themselves. The idea of naming monsters is essentially a perfect way to shape the plot around the monster nation from a writers perspective.

thing is we never seen valdora go out, they didn;t even show hinata's fight agist him

pretty sure if I remember maribell doesn't summon them but she infects em with her greed which she can use to destroy their minds,

From what I've gathered by the 4 rewatches I've done of this show, rimuru is nowhere near as strong as veldora because he's a true dragon. It was mentioned before they there are only 4 true dragons and they are the pinnacle of the world. Veldora is one of them. And that's why everyone is so damn scared of him. Now is he the strongest one? That I don't know. All I know is one of them is his sister who spends her time with guy crimson

have you reacted to this seasons opening and ending ?

Monsters get stronger by getting a name, not humans.

In the scene where rimuru got rid of curse I think he used ability degenerate since it was said to be able to combine and remove things

just wanted to let Taylor know that Dragon ball 7-8 isn't in the Dragon ball collection area.

Only naming monsters does anything. You could give Glenda 1000 different names from 1000 different dragons and demonlords and she wouldn't get any stronger. Thats not how humans work. Thats a monster only mechanic.

Rimuru's abilities seem ridiculous because the anime has never bothered to explain what Ultimate Skills are.

Rimuru cant fight Veldora right now for sure. Think of it as this, there has been like 3 characters for basically the entire series that have been shown to be super powerful: The Hero, Veldora, and Milim. Rimuru may have gotten super strong, but he is not the only one with broken abilities like Raphael.

I think that Rimuru and Veldora would be tied. With beelzebub i think Rimuru would be able to nutralize Veldora's magic and with his other skill he used to tank disintegration when saving Hinata i dont think magic would work on him. He is also very fast and i am unsure if Veldora could keep up. Rimuru also can heal pretty quickly since he is a demon slime so if he did get hit it would probably have to one-shot him for it to be a problem. The only reason i think it could be a tie is because we dont know much about Veldora's powers so he could be way stronger than i am thinking. I have not read the manga or the LN but i have watched this show i think 4 times now and that is how it looks to me.

Who needs cheats codes when you have Raphael

I think we can confirm Veldora is stronger based solely on anime scenes. Hinata fought him and only her ultimate attack even damaged him, and even then not much, but Rimuru had to sacrifice Beelzebub to stop it when they fought.

Love the overall story of Mushoku Tensei, but it's 100% understandable that people don't want to get into because of the nature of the main character. Dude is a creep, and very reminiscent of Humbert Humbert from Lolita.

Huh, indeed, the animations looks really nice here, but that exact moment you mentioned it and "the shades", I cried a little as I noticed the projection of the light in their bodies and the shadows casting didn't matched, and that hurted my once-in-a-childhood art knowledge of knowing how to project stuff with the vanishing point tecnique. Haha just that, still a wonderful animation :D

Maribel had a good argument for why she can't trust a demon lord with that lifespan difference allowing for very patient planning. But she doesn't have room to speak with her brainwashing and applying soul shattering curses to others! Very hype that Rimuru's aware of Maribel and what she's been up to now.

i will not reveal anything but i cant wait for that girl (mariabell) to be gone most forgettable villain of whole series
