Slime 4x21 - Chronoa the Hero: Part 2

Alabama? Lmao not trying to hang out with dudes who bang their cousins. Btw humans dont operate on the naming system. They dont get power like that. Your patreons are slacking not telling yall.

Nahh Chloe and Hinata DEFINATELY got in a fight and didn't talk for like 10 years cos there's no way 2000 years sharing a body doesn't make u have at least a FEW fights

Regarding stuff you may have missed or forgot that makes sense because of the time loop: I forget which episode, probably 17 or 18, but Luminous is muttering to herself something about "Does Rimuru really die?" which is from Chloe explaining what leads up to the time loop. I also think Luminus is trying hard not to change the timeline so it matches up the most, so when she meets Rimuru she acts like she doesn't know who he is, but she does very easily come to the conclusion to forbid getting into conflict with him. She acts standoffish but she definitely gets along with him easily and easily suggests the non-aggression pact, as well as insisting their nations have cultural exchange. She really doesn't have that relationship with any other power. Even the human nations and the council, they're a bit standoffish, and Hinata is the one who really protects it.

On the topic of mold breaking isekai, Id strongly recommend Re;Zero, it kinda sells itself on being a much darker isekai that breaks from the tropes you usually see. Fair warning though its like DARK dark. I think its a top tier show (especially season 2) but I can fully acknowledge that not everyone is going to vibe with it. As for this episode, I give Luminous a pass on missing the Chronoa theft. Monsters on her level get used to relying on magic sense to have full 360 degree vision of everything around them. Its how she detects the harlequins. But I dont think Rimuru told her about antiskill. She was probably keeping a magical "eye" on the ark the whole fight assuming that even if someone could hide themselves from her, they would need to reveal themselves to break such a powerful seal. No way to suppress your power and also unleash an attack strong enough to break that. But Yuuki is essentially invisible to magic sense and also broke the seal just by touching it. If Rimuru told her about antiskill I bet she'd have been looking out for that.

Shizue making us cry all 4 seasons.

When Chloe leaves Hero body, is when she and Leon first arrive in the world as other world summons. However, Chloe already exists as the Hero when she is summoned as a child, so the world pushes her child self forward through time. Which is interesting because this creates the entire plot for Demon Lord Leon who spent his whole life trying to re-summon his kid sister that got sent to the future

One thing I want to let you know is that you're misremembering that Luminus quote from the end of an episode (I think the episode Rimuru test fights the kids while visiting, also the same episode luminus asks HInata about the cultural exchange. Luminus says "Is Rimuru really going to die?" This is key to remember to try to understand Luminus.

One thing I want to point out that may help you that you're misremembering about a past episode. That episode ending where Luminus asks about Rimuru to Hero/Chronoa in the ice box, she says, "Is Rimuru really going to die?" Your misremembering of this is coloring your perspective. The specificity of that quote is a NICE egg.

Another interesting hint early on, when Rimuru first met the summoned kids, was the weird feeling Rimuru got from Veldora reacting to Chloe's face. Here we see that he got a peek at Chronoa's face during their fight

So the scene from E15 can be perceived as what occurred in the loop that preceded Demon Lord Rimuru, as the audio is implies she already went on a rampage in that loop whereas it hasn’t happened in this loop. And since we are creating the history of the show from scratch, with a few minor alterations like knowing the hero’s name, it is safe to assume Rimuru’s history is the same

I love isekai, but there is a serious problem with most isekai, primarily isekai based on light novels. The issue is that most isekai are created as rush jobs to try to get people to buy the light novels, but they don't include enough details like character development and worldbuilding, as if they assume you've already read the light novels and don't need that information. That's why I love slime. They included almost all the worldbuilding and character development from the books while only trimming the story a little bit. Some of my favorite isekai light novels ended up being horrible anime because they removed too much character development and worldbuilding, turning them into generic harem isekai...one of which didn't even have a harem aspect to it, but they made you think it was a harem isekai (Deathmarch to the Parallel World Rhapsody).

Luminus taught Rimuru how to get drunk when she first visited Tempest.

The problem with season 3 was the pacing, not that it was slower. In most of these isekai that come from LN, the directors of the anime move stuff around so they happen in a different sequence than they did in the LN. This is to make it more digestible to the audience; it is incredibly important, although readers sometimes hate it, because stuff is cut in order to make it fit. Season 3 had plenty of action, the problem was that it was all condensed into 5 of the 26 episodes with most of those ones being back to back. When it did go hard, it delivered and the fans loved it. It most definitely could have been rearranged, so that the action was not condensed and instead spread out. The other problem with lore heavy episodes, they take much more time to digest. So having a lot of them bunched up hinders the imagination and theory crafting. Since Hinata is my favorite character, I loved season 3 as she was in pretty much every episode. I loved the ramen shop episode. Yet, I can relate that it could have been directed much better. Especially since they changed the order of events from the LN anyway.

marvelous reaction and when hinata and chloe switch the face changes and the eye color changes too and the mask is a bootstrap paradox tkohhh there are 5 cours 60 episodes

Long outros just prove that you love this show! So please gush away!

She has a Point, i also like Slime because it is NOT your typical Isakai. There are so many copy and past anime and manga out there, and don't even get me started on that harem-power-fantasy stuff with loli characters. Slime is so much petter than 90% isakai out there for sure.

👍

One thing I want to clariffiy about why Luminous didn’t protect Chronoa’s body from Yuuki’s group is because at the time Chloe and Hinata traveled back in time they didn’t know or realize their frozen body was stolen. So they couldn’t warn Luminous to prevent them from awakening Chronoa.

its so funny slime the show is just like rimuru the character where its basicaly just peak potential and thats why its so enjoyable to watch. like how diablo watches rimuru because of his potential, we watch slime because of its potential as a show

The real fans of slime it's here

The timeline isn't gone, The confusion comes from the anime presenting Chloe and Hinata’s trip to the past as if it were a reality-bending shift, when it is actually a massive flashback showing how the current timeline was built.

To comment on Karlii's ramble/rant, I completely understand what you mean. I'm not a voice actor so I haven't seen anime from that side, but I've watched anime for around 30 years and, yes, seeing anime that throw twists the way that Slime and AoT do is so fucking amazing and I love every bit of it. As a non-LN reader I am so very excited for what is to come in this anime.

Hinata does come up with the name Chronoa, but it’s more along the lines of “you should use this name” rather than “I name you Chronoa”. In any case, I don’t think Chloe would get powered up, since she’s human. If the naming thing did work, Hinata wouldn’t have anywhere near enough power to name Chloe, so it would likely just kill her, without Chloe gaining any power.

While Shizue was dealing with keeping Ifrits power in check, Hinata was guiding her while doing the same with Chronoa. Author cooked with the parallel!

Karlii is lowkey right I do be stinkin sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️

The naming thing doesn't power her up to answer that

2000 bc. "Before chloe" 🤣

Karlii is lowkey right I do be stinkin sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️

SLIME TIME 🙌

I don't know if I agree that this season is slow. It's slowER, sure, but I love the pace.
