by The 64th episode of the anime ” That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3″ (hereafter “Tensei Slime”) has been airing since July 26th. Momiji (CV: Kahara Moe), a girl from the long-nosed tribe (Tengu), made her first appearance and fought a love battle with Albis (CV: Kakuma Ai ) over the “position of legal wife” of Benimaru (CV: Furukawa Makoto).
The anime is based on a popular comic series (manga: Taiki Kawakami, original story: Fuse, character design: Mitz Vah) based on the web novel of the same name, which has sold over 45 million copies in total. It is a “reincarnation entertainment” in which the protagonist, Rimuru Tempest (CV: Miho Okazaki ), who is reincarnated as a slime, uses his skills and increases his number of companions with wisdom and courage. The first movie in the series was released in 2022 and was a hit, grossing 1.4 billion yen.
In the last episode, episode 63, the Demon Lord Milim Nava (CV: Hidaka Rina) visited her best friend Rimuru. After learning that the Demon Lord Ramiris (CV: Haruno Anzu) had moved to Tempest, Milim confronted her, saying, “You’re not living with Rimuru, Ramiris!?” Ramiris then made a deliberately misleading statement: “I’m living with Rimuru now!” Shocked, Milim became jealous and said, “That’s not fair! That’s not fair! I want to live with you too!!” and started fighting with Ramiris.
Viewers were excited when Milim angrily tried to grab Ramiris, saying things like, “She’s too cute; I can’t stand it,” “It’s getting so complicated lol,” and “That was a cute fight lol.”
In the latest episode, episode 64, “Benimaru’s Suffering,” Momiji comes to Rimuru’s audience. Momiji has feelings for Benimaru, an ogre, and boasts that she will “turn Benimaru’s head towards her.”
Alvis, one of the three beast warriors of Eurazania, is also a woman in love with Benimaru. With a new love rival joining the battle, Alvis approaches Benimaru, saying, “I intend to defeat Momiji-sama and take the position of his legal wife, but in the worst-case scenario, I can always become his concubine. I won’t give up, so prepare yourself.” Momiji also declares, “I will accept Alvis’s challenge and take the position of Benimaru-sama’s wife!”
The new character Momiji has already been well received online, with comments such as “The animal ears are cute” and “She’s so cute.” The love battle over Benimaru, which is likely to become even more severe in the future (?!), has attracted attention with comments such as “The battle for the legal wife is about to begin,” “It’s tough for a popular guy,” and “It’s good that Benimaru is so popular.”
Episode 64, “Benimaru’s Tribulations”
It is the last day of the audience ceremony. Rimuru welcomes Momiji, the representative of the Long Nose Tribe, his opponent. Rimuru wants to dig a tunnel into the Kusha Mountains where they live, so he sends Benimaru as an emissary to negotiate.
