That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime — How Japanese Fans React

These characters' real cause of death? Not having read Bleach.

このキャラの敗因はBLEACHを読まなかった事

Brolimu, lmao.

ブロリムル草

They thought they were the ones toying with him... and only realized they were the ones being toyed with after their head had already hit the floor.

舐めプしてると思っていたら、自分が舐めプされていた···と気が付いたのは、首を落とされた後という···

Dragon Ball already proved "buffer equals stronger" doesn't work — that's what the whole Cell Saga was about.

ムキムキが強さはドラゴンボールではセル編で失敗している。

I genuinely hated these guys, so watching them get wrecked is so cathartic.

まじこいつら嫌いだったからやられて清々する

This thumbnail is giving straight-up "Gon snapping" energy.

ゴンがキレた時みたいなサムネ

👺: "Your judgment is slow."

👺「判断が遅い」

Paraphrasing the other side's position: "Sure, we'll let you join us — but monsters don't get rights, myon~"

相手側意見「仲間に入れてやるけど、魔物に人権はないみょ〜ん」

A world where there are TONS of guys even stronger than this old man is genuinely insane to think about...

この人より強いやつがわんさかいる世界はすげなぁ…

I actually watched it — he's not jacked at all.

見たけどムキムキじゃない

No death in this show is more satisfying than the way these three go out.

こいつらのやられ方ほどスカッとしたものは無い

The source material sells the "usually-chill nerd who turns terrifying the second you step on his landmine" trope without it ever feeling forced, and the anime's direction sold it even harder. Slime isn't just power-fantasy wish fulfillment — the way it captures "mild-mannered guy suddenly radiating menace the instant you hit his trigger" is weirdly, specifically real.

「普段は優しいけどキレたら怖いタイプのオタク」を、あそこまで違和感なく物語として成立させた原作と、さらにアニメーションで説得力持たせた制作陣の解像度が高すぎる。 転スラって 、ただの俺TUEEEじゃなくて「温厚そうなオタクが自分の地雷踏まれた瞬間だけ急に圧出してくる怖さ」の描写だけ妙に生々しいんだよな

They're confusing two different things: the skill lets you perceive at 300x speed, but it does NOT give you a body that can move at 300x. And honestly, even with 300x perception, your brain still lagging behind on the fact that your head just got lopped off in an instant? Yeah, that's kind of unavoidable.

300倍で認識できるだけで身体能力が300倍になってその動きができるわけじゃないことを勘違いしてる。 そして300倍の認識速度があるのに一瞬で首チョンパされたことに理解が追いつくのが遅れてもまぁ仕方ない。

Whoever drew the first buff Rimuru, I need to know your name, lol

誰だよ最初のムキムキリムル描いたやつww

A normal fighter would just let the severed head roll. But Hakurou spins it once, grabs it by the hair, and lectures the guy while looking him dead in the eyes — that little act of payback is just chef's kiss. There's a fitting send-off for scum, and scum gets the scum treatment.

普通ならトばしたクビを転がしても良いのに一回転させて髪を掴んで相手の目を見ながら説教するハクロウの意趣返しがたまらん・・・ゲスにはゲスへの手向けと言うものがある
