There Might Be Spoilers Ahead

like he is routinely considered incredibly beautiful both as a man and a woman but his preferred form is Ball. he is surrounded by people who love and adore him, several carnally, and he is actively dodging out of the way of that.

Rimuru as a ruler is more calculating, not exactly hostile but if the people he cares about (basically all of tempest) are threatened there is little he wouldnt do. The laid back and casual attitude is gone.

Rimuru as a figure is divided by how tempest monsters see him vs how the rest of the world sees him.

Tempest's monsters see him as a savior and a god-like figure for providing quality of life rarely seen in monster-kind before. All of his actions are justified and he can do no wrong.

he's so badass in their minds I'm dying 😭

My absolute favorite one:

Rimuru everyday: boing boing ✨

Rimuru in their heads: DIE DIE ALL OF YOU SUFFER ‼️

First post!! Hehe.

Real talk tho: I feel like there's no way that Rimuru's demon-summoning plan to catch Razen would've turned out nearly as well as it did if Diablo hadn't invited himself and his silly little sons over.

Hundreds of greater demons would surely have been squabbling and fighting amongst themselves over who gets to claim the win, which would mean that Razen has a chance of escaping in the confusion. And even if he didn't escape, it's unlikely they would've been able to keep him alive with each demon trying to snatch him away, which would've unleashed the nuclear strike.

So I think Diablo deserves extra credit for salvaging what would have likely been a pretty nasty situation. Good job, Diablo!!
