Season 2 New Character ① Diablo
Although he only made a brief appearance at the end of Season 1, Diablo is an essential character in the anime and will play a major role in the story in Season 2. For anime fans, he remains a mysterious figure. Also, since he's voiced by the highly popular voice actor Takahiro Sakurai, many may have been paying close attention to him.
What kind of character is he?
Diablo appears as Rimuru's subordinate in Season 2. The reason he became Rimuru's subordinate was because the attack on Tempest prompted Rimuru's decision to awaken as a Demon Lord. Diablo pledges absolute loyalty to Rimuru and even describes him as beautiful. While demons normally spend their days fighting and wanting to inspire themselves with their own strength, Diablo shows no interest at all and is obsessed with Rimuru.
Why does he pledge loyalty to Rimuru?
Diablo respects Rimuru. Originally, Diablo's demon genus, "Demons," were conceptual beings and did not have physical bodies. Furthermore, there was a bad relationship between Demons and Angels, and they would fight whenever they met, so there was a rule that they could only battle once every 500 years, for a period of seven days.

Season 2 New Character #2: Frey
Frey is the queen of the Harpies and one of the Demon Lords. While she possesses powerful skills unique to her race, such as "Magic Interference," these skills are ineffective against higher-ranking demons. When Rimuru became one of the "Eight Star Demon Lords," she became his subordinate.
What is her relationship with Milim?
Frey is the queen of the winged tribe (harpies), and thus rules the sky. There were no enemies in the sky, but Milim's ability to fly with her own wings changes the situation. Because Milim can fly without relying on magic, she's a dreadful nemesis for Frey.
Season 2 New Character ③: Karion

What Skills Does She Have?
Luminous's skill is "Lust." This is a unique skill related to the Deadly Sins, granting her the power to control life and death. As an awakened demon lord, it's a terrifying skill, and she's feared for it. However, Hinata's murder midway through the story had a profound impact on her.

Why Did He Come to Another World?
A year ago, he was captivated by a beautiful Scandinavian woman he saw on his way home from school, and ended up in another world. When he was transported there, he acquired a unique skill called "Erabareshimono" (The Way of Heroes).

Incidentally, she can be revived once by equipping an item called the "Resurrection Bracelet," which possesses Ramiris's power.
How did she meet Rimuru?
Rimuru and Ramiris first met during the "Life in the Royal Capital" arc.
