That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is a popular web novel that is also the catalyst for reincarnation stories being made into manga and anime to become so popular. As the title suggests, the story begins with the protagonist being reincarnated as a slime. The highlights of this work are its solid setting, the protagonist's unrivaled abilities, and the friendships he makes with monsters as he becomes more and more of his allies. In this article, we will introduce Ranga, the monster who joins the team after the goblins.

After preying on the Storm Dragon Veldora, Rimuru Tempest leaves the cave and wanders around the outside world for the first time. However, the powerful magical power oozing from his body keeps monsters from approaching. At that time, he happens to come across a Garo scout, whose son is the clan leader and who later becomes Ranga. He has a distinctive star mark on his head. As soon as Ranga and his companions see Rimuru's magic essence, they run away.

The Garo Tribe attacked the goblin village that no longer had the protection of the Storm Dragon, and planned to use the Great Jura Forest as a foothold for domination. However, to their dismay, the slime that was spreading that strange magical power was there. The leader, who built a human-like fence and saw his comrades injured by the threadwork, attacks the slime, but is killed without a trace. Submission or death. The Garo tribe immediately chooses submission and joins Rimuru. After being named, the leader's son becomes Ranga, and he achieves complete domination over his brethren, becoming part of the Storm Garo tribe. Even though monsters have a tradition of survival of the fittest, the Garo tribe seems to be a less intelligent race than the ogres, seeing as how they quickly grew attached to their master Rimuru.

Ranga loves Relm. He decides to enter the shadow of Relm himself. He jumps out in an emergency, and enters the shadow when he runs out of magic. Ranga, who sleeps with his master, is like a pet. His true form is large, but he is small in size to prevent damage to the city, which is another feature of him as a pet. He loves being ordered around by Relm or taking someone for a ride, and he wags his tail at the drop of a hat. He also admires the Black Storm Garo that Relm takes on, and seems to aim to become just like it.

These two have been together since the beginning of the story, but I'm a little skeptical about whether they're particularly close. However, there does seem to be a connection between them, as Gobuta is able to summon the Garo tribe from his shadow early in the story and is able to use the Storm Garo tribe's skill "Shadow Movement." The relationship between these two changed dramatically during the fighting tournament, when the two faced off in the tournament. Ranga is of course superior to Gobuta. However, Gobuta goes up against him without fear, and in that moment he learns "Demon Wolf Summoning," allowing him to become one with Gobuta. Ranga's attacks no longer hit Gobuta, and he is defeated by Gobuta. Ranga feels ashamed of himself, but he comes to accept Gobuta and they then become one and fight.

My favorite scene (or illustration) is the one where Ranga just licks Rimuru. Shuna and Shion were playing around with putting various kimonos on the human-shaped Rimuru, but then they went to the slime to avoid him. This cute illustration makes you think of Ranga coming to you when you're a slime and just licking you and playing with you. Ranga is so adorable. It's a great way to take a break.

Let's take a look at Ranga's growth. The Garo chief's son was originally named by Relm, and when he became Ranga he evolved into a Storm Garo. At this time he grows a single horn. Incidentally, it was right after Relm had named him Ranga that he collapsed during the first naming. After that, Ranga gained two horns in the battle with the Orc Lord, and is likely to have become a Black Storm Garo. At this time, his physique also grows larger. He is then able to merge with Gobta, and Ciel is born. As a blessing, he is given the ultimate skill "Star Wind King" by Milim. At this time, he transforms from the Garo tribe into a Wind Spirit Wolf, a higher-ranking spirit.

Ranga is very cute, but he is also a very strong character. He served Relm in the early stages, so he is often by Relm's side as one of the closest aides. Among the many humanoid monsters, the wolf has established an absolute position, and it seems that it will be a character that will not leave until the end. However, it seems a little sad and lonely that she will not have children because she has become a high-ranking spirit species.
