I'm going to go with "She's a good girl, strong too, but she does some dumb shit. She needs better people to rein her in."
From a plot point of view, it keeps the power structure clearer, and makes it more convenient to explain why Frey/Carrion/Milim are all hanging around in the same vicinity if the author wanted to keep them interacting.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
So does this mean Milim, Carrion and Frey's territories are all one kingdom now?
Also, is Rimuru taking Clayman's territory?
Jura Tempest isn't next to Clayman's former territory, though. I don't recall exactly if it was Milim or Frey's territory that was next to it. If Milim+Carrion+Frey are now technically one country, even if it's divided in provinces (who knows), maybe they will claim Clayman's land. Or maybe I'm remembering the map totally wrong, haha. I'm pretty sure Carrion was right next to Jura Tempest, and not next to Clayman's land, so Clayman needed to march through Milim's domain, at least, to get there. That's when they looted all of the dragon worshippers' vegetable stockpiles.
I don't think Rimuru wants more land anyway. Jura Tempest is pretty big as it is. His troops already took all the treasures from Clayman's coffers anyway, I believe.
According to the world map it is directly next to it.Originally Posted by Kraco
In fact, literally every demon lord's territory borders Rimuru's.
I should have rechecked the map... I remembered it totally wrong.
Its nice that, while on the whole unpleasant, even Clayman had friends to mourn his passing. That non-tempest characters can die make their encounters more interesting (and less drawn out) to watch.
Demon lords give up on their status a bit too easily. Assuming there are any benefits to being a Maou, and the actual punishment (for being relatively weak) would be losing a fight to another demon lord when they don't appear to fight very often anyway, it seems like a waste to throw it away on what seems like a whim. But more friends for Millim is nice, too.
Yeah, while I usually hate the clown perverts, I did actually feel bad for Laplace at the end there.
Now that we know they have some level of pride (not giving away their shitbag of a client) even as twisted as Clayman became, and also that they did care for each other as much as any other group in the series does for their internal members, I did end up with a changed opinion of the Clown Alliance.
Kagurazaka Yuuki forcibly reincarnated Kazaream early in order to use them as his specific agents and manipulate a lot of the current continental strife.
I told y'all this meeting would take all season.
Movie's out and subbed.
Was out weeks ago ?

*shrug* Nobody mentioned it. It just showed up on SubsPlease yesterday.
It's true that some subs are way too fast for quality... but for slime it was enough

Episode 48.5
As expected, this was a recap of the most recent events, with an added narration. The narration tried really hard to be funny. It wasn't.
Was it Veldora commentating again?
And Diablo along with him.
Season 3 Episde 1:
Yeah, I think I'm done with this.
Rimuru is an evil villain and so are all of his "friends". Justifying torture and murder just because some looked the wrong way at Rimuru, fuck that shit. That scene in the waggon with the "in piece but alive"-people was so fucking evil, you cannot justify that shit.
At this point, this anime is the same as Overlord, only without the honesty to admit that its protagonist is evil.

You might want to rewatch the previous season. Rimura and the Jura forest were the victims here, of an unprovoked invasion. If you attack someone with extreme hatred, you are quite a hypocrite to demand humane treatment when the tables are turned on you. Those three villains who got chopped up are extremely lucky, in fact, because they are still alive and regained their human forms.
Diablo is a highest order demon, so of course he's evil. He's still Rimuru's servant, though. That being said, every time I see his face, I can't help but feel he would, in fact, love to betray Rimuru at some point.
This is different from Overlord in the sense that this remains morally clean. Jura is attacked and Rimuru fights back. That's how it always happens. Whereas in Overlord the Great Tomb of Nazarick mostly keeps attacking first. Quite a fundamental difference. Otherwise there might be some similarities here and there because we are dealing with monsters in both.
They tried to genocide his entire kingdom! It's completely justified!
I don't understand how your fucking mind works that you think Eren was justified, but Rimuru isn't. That Eren can genocide 80% of the planet, the civilians, the children, everyone, even of countries that aren't his enemies, on fears of a hypothetical future retaliation. But Rimuru isn't allowed to destroy an army that is actively trying to murder his people, and punish the 3 people in charge of that attack.
It's like something in your brain is wired wrong.
It sucks that the 3 that were spared were the 3 most responsible for all those deaths.
Been playing RPGs all my life. Never play a human when there's an option not to. This shit's old hat to me.

Nothing new, humans are the antagonists by default. Individuals are welcome to side with monsters. But in that world humans think themselves as the superior race and have been the genocidal ones. It's only natural they are viewed as trash.
As human audience, it feels a bit strange, but that's how that story is written.

NOTHING was justified, wtf. Did you remember how Rimuru murdered 100k soldiers, not for defense, but because he needed them to resurrect his friends?!
And it might suck from their perspective, but Rimuru and his friends ARE monsters after all. Humans lived for centuries if not thousands of years with the simple truth: monsters are evil. And before Rimuru named them all and thus gave them human-like intelligence, that was fair game for most of them. Sure, in this anime, goblins aren't murderers and rapists. But the direwolves were dangerous, orcs were, demons were, etc..
Sure, Rimuru can argue "you attacked us, we defend". But not only does that not justify the murder of the 100k soldiers nor the gruesome treatment of the humans in the waggon we saw this episode; it also makes him anything but a clean hero. And that's what this anime still pretends overall, that Rimuru is some cute, morally good hero. He's not. And if I were Rimuru, I'd question whether it's alright that everyone always kneels and bows their heads when he walks by. Not exactly healthy behavior unless you're a dictator who gets off on power.
Tbh as I'm typing this, I'm wondering how humans even survived this long, considering there's not a single human so far that could keep up with the demon lords we saw. Rimuru is one of them and it shows. To those who read the light novel or whatever the source is: Pls send me a PM and spoiler me with a yes or no: Does anyone ever oppose Rimuru and Rimuru is forced to realize that he's in the wrong? Thx
