It has been decided that "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime", a work serialized on the novel submission site "Let's Become a Novelist", will be made into an anime. It is scheduled to start broadcasting in October 2018, and will run for two seasons. In this article, we will introduce and discuss Shion, a surviving ogre who appears early on in "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" and has a strong admiration for Rimuru.

The ogre clan was attacked by orcs. The 300 ogres are now down to six. They are wandering around looking for revenge against the orcs who attacked their village. The orcs, mistaking Rimuru's companions, Ranga and his friends, for a group of demons, attack them. Rimuru arrives to their aid. During the battle, Rimuru becomes distracted by Shion, who he comments on how big her breasts are. The battle is decided when Rimuru easily captures Shion with his "Sticky Steel Thread". Shuna advises that the battle is halted, and neither side is harmed.

She joins Rimuru's wing and is named Shion. Shion then evolves into a demon. She is portrayed as being less wild and more intelligent, but... basically, she cuts down anyone who is an enemy to Rimuru with a single stroke. She flatters Rimuru, but is proactive in getting work, making her an extremely easy-to-understand secretary? She sometimes gets drunk and passes out during diplomatic activities, but it's all for Rimuru's sake. When Shion gets angry, her destructive power is incredible, and she is truly violent. She has a very easy-to-understand personality. But it's hard to call her intelligent.

The composition where Shion's breasts are on top of Rimuru's head when he is in slime form often appears. Even in human form, he seems to hold her often. It's a perk of being a secretary who is always working with Rimuru. After Oak was named and went into sleep mode, Shuna and Shion argued over who would take care of him, but after they were given the roles of secretary and clothes designer, respectively, it seems like that rivalry has lessened.

Shion's basic thoughts are centered around Rimuru. After defeating Orc Lord, she further despises Rimuru. Her love for the Gorikimaru given to her by Rimuru is so strong that she even uses it when cooking. That's the big sword he carries on his back. He calls using other blades cheating, and hates even using a kitchen knife. Rilm is shocked, so he promises to give him a different cooking knife as a gift.

While Rimuru is fighting Hinata, the people of Farmas Kingdom invade Tempest. The villagers, who stuck to Rimuru's teachings that humans should not be attacked, were killed there, and Shion, who tried to shield a child, was also killed by the Ogre Eater. When Rimuru returned and learned of what had happened, he felt despair and regret, and was painfully aware of his own weakness, when he learned that he could resurrect the dead when he became a Demon Lord. Rimuru decided to become a Demon Lord, and by offering the sacrifice of over 10,000 humans - the condition for becoming a Demon Lord - he killed all the soldiers of the invading Farmus Kingdom, and became a Demon Lord. He was then safely resurrected by resurrection.

Shion first cooked when she came to the town. The chef Gobuichi was afraid of her and told Shion to stop. Her cooking gives you resistance to poison when you eat it. It's such a gift that it's a punishment for Rimuru who went out late at night. A dramatic change came to Shion's cooking when Rimuru became a Demon Lord. Wishing to become a better cook, Shion gained the "Chef" (Sabakumono) skill. It had the effect of "Definite Result," allowing her to overwrite the results she desired, and she was now able to make delicious food, even if it looked gross.

Shion was originally an ogre, but after being named, she evolved into a demon. After that, she became an evil spirit when Rimuru awakened and became a demon lord. (The other ogres evolved into demons.) Then, with Ciel's blessing, he evolved into a fighting spirit demon. Shion had a skill called "Jealousy", but in the battle with Velzard, Velzard awakened as "Jealous King", and Shion's "Jealousy" skill disappeared, but he later awakened and acquired the ultimate skill "Tyrannical King".

When Shion died, about 100 other villagers also died, but Rimuru's grieving was different. It must be a relationship that they have strong feelings for. Shion, who was resurrected, became even stronger and was active in the martial arts tournament. There's no telling how far the anime will go, but I'm looking forward to seeing Shion in action.
