The third season of "I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" will finally be broadcast from April. In addition, "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Crimson Bonds" and original stories of the anime are also broadcast in each season. In addition, ODA and spin-off works "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Slime Diaries" and "The Dream of Corius" have been produced. Many characters have appeared in the works that have been produced so far. This time, I would like to summarize the ranking of popular characters from the works produced so far.
10th place: Veldora Tempest
10th place is Rimuru's longtime friend, Veldora Tempest. This was the first time Rimuru met him after he was reincarnated. They became friends and gave each other names, which formed a bond. Feared as an evil dragon, he flew around the world wreaking havoc, as his nickname of the Storm Dragon suggests. As a result, he was sealed in an infinite prison by the hero, Klonoa.
The Storm Dragon is a friend
Although he is called the Storm Dragon, he is a lonely and playful person. He has a simple personality and says what he thinks right away, so he is a troublemaker who often causes problems. However, he is weak to flattery, and Rimuru calls him "Chorogon." She loves the Rimuru Scriptures (manga), and when she fought Milim in Walpurgis, she was free to use Hadoken, Shoryuken, Tetsuzankou, Kamehameha, and other moves. This lovable storm dragon is in 10th place.
9th place: Shion (Shion)
Shion, Rimuru's first secretary and bodyguard, is in 9th place. She looks like a cool beauty and gives the impression of being intelligent, but she basically tries to solve everything by force. Although she has the title of first secretary, Shuna actually plays the role of secretary. She admires Rimuru very much and often competes with Shuna. Although she is such a problem child, Rimuru trusts her and says very sweetly, "It can't be helped, Shion."
Shion's devastating cooking
Shion's other problem was that she had no sense of cooking. Gobuta gained poison resistance after eating Shion's cooking, and Benimaru was prepared to die when he ate Shion's cooking. However, when Rimuru awakened as a demon lord, he wished to become good at cooking and acquired the "Chef (Sabakumono)". As a result, he was able to make delicious food, although his appearance did not change. However, Rimuru always tells him that the appearance of the food is also important.
Top class combat ability
Shion has many problems, but her combat ability is so high that she treats Clayman before he awakens as a child. In terms of magical energy alone, she exceeds Benimaru, and it is said that she is equal to or greater than Benimaru in single combat.
8th place: Ranga
The son of the leader of the Garo tribe, who was the first person Rimuru fought when he went to the surface. Rimuru became the enemy who defeated his father, but he followed the law of the jungle and obeyed the strong, and swore obedience to Rimuru as his master. Since then, he has always acted in Rimuru's shadow with the skill "Shadow Movement". He is one of the closest aides who has served Rimuru since the very beginning.
His fighting ability is also top class
Ranga calls Rimuru his master instead of his name, and the line "My master!" that he shouts is a familiar one. He has high fighting ability and is strong alone, but he is also good at leading his clan in battle. He is also good at fighting in pairs with his allies, and in the battle against Charybdis, he teamed up with Shion to demonstrate his aerial combat. In the third season, you can see him fighting in pairs with Gobta, so please look forward to it.
Rimuru's pet! ?
Although he is a dignified wolf who has sworn loyalty to his master, he gets excited when Rimuru speaks to him, waving his tail around, and is happy when he is petted, just like a pet. His cuteness, which makes him look more like a dog than a wolf, may be one of Ranga's charms.
7th place: Benimaru
He was originally the son of the chief of the Ogre tribe, and is Shuna's older brother. After becoming Rimuru's subordinate, he was given the name Benimaru and became a demon, and was given the role of samurai general and entrusted with the command of Tempest's entire army. That's how much Rimuru trusts him, and his abilities make him one of the strongest in Tempest.
How dare you get angry at a samurai general!?
Benimaru, who is trusted by Rimuru, has top class abilities among his subordinates, and has outstanding ability to lead and command the entire army, but he also has a weakness. That weakness is Shuna. Benimaru, who is unrivaled in battle, usually cannot stand up to Shuna. However, Milim and Rimuru are also unable to stand up when Shuna gets angry. Shuna, who can even get the Demon Lord angry, is the strongest in a sense.
About Benimaru...
Although he can't stand up to his sister, he cares about his friends and remains Rimuru's right-hand man. In the third season, such a reliable Benimaru faces a difficult problem. Hakurou also gets involved, so be sure to watch the anime to find out what decision Benimaru will make.
6th place: Milim Nava
One of the oldest demon kings, he is a dragonoid known as the Tyrant of Destruction. He has a cheerful and innocent personality, but he can also be short-tempered and childish. However, as the oldest demon king, when it comes to fighting he is one of the strongest demon kings, with an incredible amount of intelligence and cunning tactics.
Meeting Rimuru
After Rimuru defeats Orc Lord, he becomes interested in him and comes to Tempest. He intended to make Rimuru his subordinate, but Rimuru makes him taste honey, and he is attracted by the honey and the match ends in a draw. After that, he enjoys the delicious food and fashion he experiences in Tempest, and Rimuru's way of thinking, which shows no interest in the Demon Lord, so he becomes best friends with Rimuru and decides to stay in Tempest.
Cuteness goes beyond strength!
One of Milim's charms is the gap between her small and cute girly way of speaking, "It's XX", and her incredible strength. The reason why Milim pretends to be controlled by Clayman is to expose Clayman's plot to mess with Rimuru. Even when she does various things and gets scolded by Rimuru, or when she gets scolded by Frey and is taken away, she looks cute.
5th place: Great Sage (H-Armono) / King of Wisdom (Raphael)
Rimuru's partner since he was reincarnated is the unique skill, Great Sage. Then, during the Harvest Festival when he awakened as a Demon Lord, he evolved into the ultimate skill, King of Wisdom. This reliable partner who always assists and supports Rimuru is in 5th place.
Great Sage (H-Arumono)
Because it is a skill, it does not have an ego, but in order to answer Rimuru's doubts and questions, it has modified itself to be able to respond by using part of the functions of the "language of the world". This allows it to respond as if it were having a conversation with Rimuru. At first, it only answered mechanically, but gradually it began to answer in a way that gave the illusion that it had an ego.
King of Wisdom (Raphael)
After evolving into King of Wisdom, his answers become cooler than mechanical. I think this is because he has become an Ultimate Skill and has a small, but strong sense of self. After Rimuru said that he didn't need to report those who were not hostile even if he found them with his Omnisensation, he replied "Haa~" when he asked after all, and when he didn't believe King of Wisdom when he told him that Milim was not being controlled and that Karion was in disguise in Walpurgis, he was amazed and said "Haa~". In the third season, we can see King of Wisdom acting in silence to Rimuru. However, she does all of this in the best interest of Rimuru. After all, she is his best and inseparable partner.
Third place: Shuna
Shuna, one of the heroines of TenSura, is in third place. She was originally the princess of the Ogre tribe and Benimaru's younger sister. After being given the name Shuna, she became the Kannagi of Tempest, supporting the country behind the scenes for Rimuru. By being named a demon, she lost her wildness and became a beautiful girl with pale pink hair and crimson eyes.
Shuna supports Tempest
Because she was a princess of the Ogre tribe, she received a special education, so she knows diplomatic etiquette and culture, and when Rimuru is invited to various countries, Shuna accompanies him and helps him. There are first and second secretaries, but Shuna may be Rimuru's secretary in the true sense of the word. She is also talented in teaching at Tempest's guesthouse, silk weaving, and cooking, and she is an indispensable presence in Tempest, as she also teaches Tempest's artisans and cooks.
She's not just kind, she's a strong-willed princess
She's smart and refined, and loved and relied on by those around her, but she's also very opinionated and unyielding. The same goes for Rimuru, and she's especially strict with her brother Benimaru. And I don't think there's anyone other than Shuna who can scold the Demon Lord Milim, who is known as Destroyer. She has feelings for Rimuru, and fights with Shion, who also has feelings for him, but she doesn't seem to be willing to give in.
She's not just a support character! ?
You probably don't have much of an image of Shuna taking part in battles, but she has been trained in martial arts by Hakurou and can also use "Oboro". And when Rimuru awakened as a demon lord, she was given the unique skill "Creator (Umidasmono)" as a blessing. This allows her to create her own magic, and she has high abilities in magical combat. She can also use sacred magic, and Adalman reveres her. The princess who supports Tempest from behind the scenes, works as Rimuru's true secretary, and is also a skilled fighter is third place.
Second place: Diablo
Second place is Diablo, the "Original Black (Noir)". He has appeared frequently in ODA and episode 24 of the first season, "Side Story: Black and Mask", but he was summoned during the battle between Rimuru and the 20,000 Farmus troops in the second season, and finally appeared in the main story. His overflowing love for Rimuru and loyalty are on the fine line with his obsession with Rimuru, to the point that Rimuru is often annoyed by him.
He was aiming to become Rimuru's subordinate! ?
He is one of the Seven Demons of the Beginning, and is as strong as the Demon Lord Guy Crimson. When they were still nameless, they competed for the title of strongest and tied. However, he was not interested in strength, and was an oddball who wandered around alone without incarnating. However, he became interested in Shizu, whom he met in "Side Story: Black and Mask", and kept an eye on her. Then, he learned of Rimuru's existence, and the more he learned about him, the more his love for Rimuru grew. And he was always looking for the right timing to be summoned as a subordinate. However, when Beretta, who is also of the black system, was summoned before him, he seemed to seriously consider purging Beretta. However, purging Beretta would have also destroyed the vessel that Rimuru had created, so she refrained. Her love for Rimuru was genuine.
The first broken heart (core)
After Rimuru's Demon Lord awakening was successfully completed, she asked Rimuru to officially make her his subordinate after he woke up. Rimuru, who was overcome by sleepiness due to the effects of the Demon Lord awakening at the time of summoning, did not remember Noir and said, "Um, who was you again?" This word was enough to damage the heart of Noir, who was a demon. When Ranga explained the situation to Rimuru, Noir said, "Ah, you're still here," further damaging his heart. Then, when he said, "Thank you for everything. You can go home now," Noir was almost in tears. Rimuru's words, which showed his great respect, damaged the demon's heart. He once again asked Rimuru if he could become his lowest-ranking subordinate, and Rimuru agreed, giving him the name "Diablo." Noir was already quite strong, but having a name turned him into an incredible monster.
Second Secretary Overflowing with Love for Rimuru
Diablo, who is filled with love for Rimuru = loyalty, has a sense of brotherhood with Rimuru as well as his subordinates, comrades, and those who walk the same path as Rimuru, and is trusted by his comrades as the second secretary who speaks politely with an evil smile (though he thinks it's a smile). Although he often competes with the first secretary, Shion, he seems to get along surprisingly well. He seems to be especially close to Ranga, who helped him get a good word in when he became his subordinate. However, he has no mercy for those who treat Rimuru with ill will. Such a strong ally, Diablo, came in second place.
1st place: Rimuru Tempest
I think he is by far the best in TenSura. Surprisingly, in character popularity rankings, characters other than the main character are often chosen, but I think many people will agree that Rimuru is number one in TenSura. So, what is the appeal of the character Rimuru? Let's consider this.
A cute slime! ?
After Mikami Satoru died, he was reincarnated as a slime. Yes, slime is synonymous with weak monsters. It is a light blue, round, and squishy slime. However, since it is a slime that was reincarnated from a human, it has intelligence and reason. For some reason, slimes look cute. Moreover, when Shizu-san was about to die, she fulfilled her wish to sleep inside Rimuru, and by devouring him, she was able to transform into a human. However, her appearance is a spitting image of Shizu-san, androgynous and very cute, which is unfair. There is not a trace of Mikami Satoru left.
Really a slime! ?
The common sense that weak monsters = slimes is overturned in Tensura. When reincarnated as a slime, it has the unique skills of Great Sage and Predator, becomes best friends with Veldora, and when it preys on him and absorbs him into its body, it becomes an incredible slime that can use Veldora's magical power as much as it wants. And fans will love watching the slime gain various combat experiences and skills, and grow and become stronger. One of the features of this work is that each character has various skills and fights using their own techniques. The first battle between Hinata and Rimuru was also a spectacular battle. I think we will see a battle that surpasses that in the rematch in the third season.
Tarashi! !
Rimuru is sociable, has no sense of discrimination, is cheerful, cares for his friends, and loves to have fun. Naturally, various people gather around Rimuru and become his friends and best friends. These people are diverse, including humans, monsters, demons, and demon lords, and he seems to be a perfect example of a "seduction". Rimuru had no intention of becoming the leader of the Great Jura Forest, but he accepted at the request of his friends. He never thought about becoming a demon lord, but he chose to become a demon lord in order to revive his friends. I think it is because of Rimuru that strong and reliable people gather around him.
Summary of the popularity ranking
I have compiled a popularity ranking of the characters that have appeared up to the second season. There are many popular characters who are not included in this ranking. And there will be new characters in the third season, and characters that make you wonder, "Was this character like that?" Please be sure to watch the new series and check it out. Thank you for reading to the end.
