Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Discussion Thread 9

You should take a look over at Reddit (sort by new) and you might find something that might make you feel very joyful, if you catch my drift.
 
Reading vol. 7 right now. It seems that Diablo was able to "undo" the effects of Shion's "Cook" Skill. Just mentioning it here so I don't forget it later.
 
I think Diablo should probably finally get his LN profile after we finish with the volume. His intelligence might even be comparable to Rimuru with Raphael, i.e. Extraordinary Genius.
 
It seems interesting with the intelligence boost.

I do remember Veldora's intelligence to be higher than Rimuru with Raphel. This statement was from Rimuru and could make Veldora an Extraordinary Genius.

As I pored over my new skills, Veldora seemed to have controlling his aura pretty well mastered, figuring out the traits of Faust, Lord of Investigation along the way. He keeps on spouting off such incredible BS that I forgot, but Veldora's actually a lot smarter than I am.

how is that even possible? sasuga diablo!😂
 
Diablo has Rimuru's create laws which can alter reality so not surprising, plus he mastered magic and has learned about the laws of the world.

I read and finished the Volume of LN 5 and 6 this week. He does not downplay himself to this extent especially not the level of Ainz like I hear so many claimed.

He claimed himself in the LN Vol. 5, he though he was a big shot/strong person before meeting Hinata which he akin to be arrogant about his strength.

He is no willing to kill if he has to and was willing to take on the Demons Lords in the Banquet in the banquets if they supported or helped Clayman even if he thought he could lose.

After the Harvest Festival, Rimuru is much less naive with decisions and more willing to kill his enemies with no mercy given.

Edit: I thought this was about the Intelligence t
 
New info about Hinata's "Ursurper":
She can choose whether to just duplicate the skills (Power Mimicry) or to outright steal them without leaving anything behind (Power Absorption).

And yea, I agree that Rimuru downplaying his intelligence against Veldora would be in-character. Moreover his evaluation was probably just himself while excluding Raphael from the picture, but we evaluate Rimuru together with Raphael as one entity in terms of intelligence.
 
Why is Rimuru downplaying his intelligence against Veldora would be in-character thing because I barely known other events where downplayed if not for strategic boosts/gains?

Like he did not fight all Clayman army when to keep his abilities more secrets, made public lie the Orc Lord and publically lie about Veldora killing the army at the Harverst Festival to limit humans' fear aginst his nation that would threaten his human and monsters coexistence goal.
 
He took pride in his strenght before meeting Hinata:

Are all otherworlders and summoners that strong, the way Yuuki said? If so, I'll have to assume that every one I encounter has a unique skill and prepare appropriately for that. I was under the impression that I was pretty strong myself, but after that experience with Hinata, my confidence was completely shattered. Maybe the wound to my pride was exactly what I needed.
~ That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Vol. 5 : CHAPTER 3 DESPAIR AND HOPE​
 
I do not believe Rimuru is downplaying his intelligence. After all, when Rimuru first got to this world Veldora was the one who had explained a majority of the concepts to him. Considering that he's also far older, it isn't outlandish for him to be smarter.
 
I do faintly recall something in Vol. 1 about Hinata learning all of Shizu's skills, and surpassing it, which would grant her Fire Manipulation. I'll need to find it.
 
Regardless, Rimuru was most certainly comparing Veldora's intelligence to just his own since he treats Raphael as a seperate existence (and even explicitly points out in his thoughts that the credit to most intelligent conclusions come from Raphael and not himself, even if he never tells that openly). We here however use the combined intelligence of Rimuru and Raphael.

Oh and it seems the Blood Shadows are no longer part of the church, but rather belong to the "Rosso Family" who control the politics of the Western Nations behind the scenes.
 
I am glad they showed Diablo making a mistake at this point.

The reason why I say that is due to the fact that Diablo just made one single mistake in the ENTIRE WN that I aware of (aside from losing to Benimaru, which isn't really a "mistake" per se), and that one instance is the WORST, most cliché moment in the entire WN: Letting Yuuki slip past him making Yuuki able to kill Rudra. And afterward no one even said anything about this immense failure, be it Rimuru or Diablo himself. That instance of PIS actually almost made me drop the WN!

So I am glad that Diablo is shown to have faults as well here and even early on.
 
Reposting this here:

Oh... multiple Saints had to combine their powers to cast a single "Inferno Flame". Shizue used that against unnamed Diablo by herself in anime episode 24. She might have been much stronger at her peak than we previously thought.

But maybe her version was weaker or something, because otherwise this would possibly cause contradictions.
 
Finished. I realized that some spoilers I read on the TenseiSlime Reddit have been complete non-sense (possibly from people "reading" LN vol. 7 via MTL from the Chinese version). Rimuru hasn't shown any indications whatsoever that he got "downgraded". Like at all. This was the only opportunity too, since between this and his fight against 2 True Dragons he didn't even have any fights as a True Dragon Lord to compare with between WN and LN!
 
Y'know, something I've noticed. We've talked about how strong Rimuru's Absorption was, and how he casually absorbed a conceptual entity in his weakest state but... why isn't it added to his profile?
 
You mean when Rimuru absorbed Sealed Veldora at the beginning of the series?

Tough luck. I tried to argue that myself before, but unfortunately the standards for Abstract Existence and Conceptual Manipulation are fairly high and any attempts to turn Veldora into such had been rejected in the past.
 
Ifrit? Where was he ever said to be conceptual? Just a Greater Spirit.

Veldora? As I said, I tried to argue the same thing as you, but it was rejected.
 
Maybe because Rimuru always downplays himself or Raphael always fools him, they think Rimuru is weaker than other Demon Lord, in fact Rimuru is somewhat stronger than Primordial jaune who is a threat for Leon and can destroy an entire continent

Ifrit is a fragment of fire spirit ,so i think they're also an Abstract existence but CP has reject my proposal
