That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 9 Review: Diablo Is A Menace

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 9 was the best of the season. Head down to see how it went in detail.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 8 Recap

In today’s episode, the action kicks off with an intense battle between the holy knights and Rimuru’s army. Rimuru himself stays back from the battlefield, observing the chaos alongside Benimaru and others. It’s Shion and her team who take on the knights, achieving a decisive victory. However, Rimuru doesn’t stay on the sidelines for long and soon encounters Hinata.

The episode reveals several significant developments. We see Luminous guarding someone who looks familiar from previous seasons, though I’m not entirely sure who it is since I haven’t read the light novel. Fans who are more familiar with the source material might have a better guess.

Another major point highlighted is the immense power of the Jura Tempest Federation. Rimuru’s forces appear almost unbeatable with their numerous advantages.

The clash between Rimuru and Hinata is particularly thrilling. This episode also showcases Rimuru’s increased strength since becoming a demon lord, including a new skill he can use against any opponent. The real surprise, however, comes at the end of the episode with an unexpected twist that leaves viewers eagerly anticipating the next installment.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 9 Review and Recap

Today’s episode was definitely one of my favorites because of how much I was reminded of the previous seasons. Right from the beginning, we do not see what has happened to Hinata after she got attacked. On the contrary, we see a very tense Damrada, who happens to be the person looking after this operation to attack Rimuru. Though things are hectic there is one thing he is especially worried about, and it is none other than the presence of Diablo, who is a mystery to the enemies.

His power and origin make it very difficult for others to believe that he is just an ordinary archdemon. Even a very celebrated archdemon would not have been able to defeat Razen so effortlessly. Thus, before Damrada himself gets caught in the mess, he plans to leave as soon as possible.  

Somewhere else, the newly appointed King Edward is very excited about the whole thing. He is sure that victory is in his hands as Damrada has left many demon slayers at his disposal, on top of that, he is also accompanied by the three battle sages of the master rooks. He also got word that Hinata had gone to the Jura Tempest federation to defeat Rimuru once and for all.

In such a favorable situation, Edward is absolutely certain that God is with him and that nothing can go wrong. However, just like always, everything goes wrong from here on, making the episode more entertaining than ever.

We all know how things will go in this anime and are well aware of the plot armor that Rimuru and his friends carry. But still, the way things are shown, you do not feel bored and anticipate all the expected moves and power-ups.

Verdict

This episode definitely focused more on Diablo than Hinata and her situation. But towards the end, we do get some idea about what is going to happen to her.

We witness things getting more complicated, and there is a high chance that Rimuru will go absolutely crazy in the next episode.
