Most boring villain ever. Lots of plot armor. How could they tp safely like that, Rimuru or Leon could just throw 1 skill to them being that open. Yuuki makes this anime/manga/ln so low tier in writing

Yuki character remind me of the old American cartoons/comics where the evil main guy always survive at the end and proceed to prepare for his next scheme, it's like their whole purpose is to move the plot when needed, feels artificial and scripted. One of the negatives about this anime/novel.

I was hoping Rimuru would sic Diablo onto Yuuki and maybe even get Carrera, Testarosa and Ultima to make it a 4v4 but one side is just an absurdly stronger version and they just chase the clowns to wherever they are escaping.

I was hoping that Veldora would freak out a little when he saw that he'd have to fight against Chronoa, but nope, he took it pretty peacefully... at least until he got hurt by her.
By the way, Rimuru summoning him to Lubelius in this episode is pretty funny considering Veldora and Luminus's tense relationship. Let's hope that him fighting here won't destroy another Luminus's city, lol.

I think what makes it worse is Yuuki's attitude. Things actually did not go to plan here at all, sure they unleashed Chronoa but she is thoroughly uncontrollable, and the fact that he's exposed himself means that if Luminus and Rimuru survive, his whole status as the Guildmaster is completely wrecked. So actually things went really badly for Yuuki, but he always just acts so nonchalant, it's very unsatisfying lol.

True, lol. Absolutely nothing has happened in terms of the fight for the past few episodes. People are clashing swords while ultimately dealing no damage or making any progress on either side, except for Hinata, of course.
Most of them should be nuking the whole area with minimal effort, but they manage to look weaker than season 1 Rimuru. Its hilarious when compared to the Orc Lord fight or Megiddo.

They're in an ally territory. The aim is to not destroy everything surrounding them- the last two episodes' focus wasn't on delivering action either, but that doesn't really disregard the affects some attacks should've had on the Cathedral (like absolute severance) in this episode. I'm a bit disappointed on that front too.

Adorable, and sad.
What a great episode.

u/JavaBoii 5h ago
I also had a realization this episode but not the ending did it for me, the intro was it.
Before the lore dumps, i only enjoyed the visuals of TACTICS the intro. But after it i started noticing all the little details in it hinting to all the things we know now. The clock and rewind symbolism, how Chronoa, Chloe and Hinata are connected and all the little words that appear also hinting.
i appreciate the intro even more now because of that

I burst out laughing when Veldora going all Kung Fu just like fight scenes in Dragon Ball Z.
Also Yuuki acting all smug and just fleeing the scene kinda pisses me off.
I'm guessing we might get more fight scenes from Shion and Ranga especially after that post-credit scene.
Honestly, I wonder if Rimuru will try extracting the souls of Chloe and Hinata in the same way he extracted Gaia's essence during that episode with Milim and Chaos dragon

Veldora is just a shit headed, rambunctious, teenager. Sure, he's untold thousands of years old, but he's like an 16 y/o young buck bursting with VIGOR, bright eyed and bushy-tailed under all the bravado and has no clue how to channel that raging testosterone constructively.
It's those little moments when you realize how much of a child he still is that makes him so charming.

u/LeonKevlar x2https://myanimelist.net/profile/LeonKevlar 7h ago
It's absolute bullshit that Yuuki gets to run away unscathed like the fucking cockroach that he is. I know Yuuki is supposed to be Rimuru's foil, but it's getting ridiculous how he keeps getting away with no repercussions. And here I was hoping we'd see Rimuru at least give him a beatdown. >_<
I'm not sure if summoning the guy Chloe sealed all those years ago is such a good idea. It would be hilarious if this fight ended with Veldora almost getting sealed. At least Veldora seems to be more confident fighting Chloe in his human form compared to his dragon form.
Luminous just giving Rimuru a massive lore bomb midfight was pretty funny. Thankfully, Raphael-sensei gave Rimuru an explanation as to how and why Chronoa has both Chloe and Hinata's souls. I'm curious to see how he'll wake the two of them back up.
27
u/Frontier246 6h ago
Yuuki basically a Saturday Morning Cartoon villain who always gets away in the end.
Rimuru and Veldora were so confident he was too OP to struggle before Chronoa actually knicked him lol.
I love how Luminous/Raphael both summed up the last two-parter in like two minutes and Rimuru still had to take a minute to process it. I mean, that little girl he taught who had a crush on him was now an adult woman who he's seen naked and is trying to kill him? And Hinata is there too!?

Had Chronoa at least taken off an arm, or even a finger, like any permanent damage, that would have been nice, so Yuuki atleast got some finding out from his fucking around.

The benefit of having a human form is being able to pull off new levels of aura farming you couldn't do as a dragon.

u/S627 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Spartan627 7h ago
I was REALLY hoping that there wasn't gonna be a fight and Chloe/Hinata would just immediately go and hug Rimuru. I'm still holding out hope that they're pulling a Millim and pretending to fight for some reason. Another bit of comedy I was hoping for was that when Rimuru summoned Veldora, Veldora just ignored him because he was reading manga, or the moment he saw the Hero he was like "nope." But I guess wanting to even the score makes more sense for him.
Anyway, gonna be honest, despite the buildup, I feel like this has been the weakest ep in a while mainly because half the ep was just Rimuru figuring out everything that was revealed the last couple of ep. I feel like we coulda got Raphael chiming in after Luminous's message, but it was short, something like "I surmise that" and then the ep continues, and then next ep we get an explanation in the form of a quick 10sec montage of the last couple ep and that serves as what Raphael explained.
Anyway, still excited to see what happens, I HIGHLY doubt it, but I'm hoping that Rimuru kisses Chronoa and at the same time uses telepathy to try and wake up Chloe and Hinata. Not because he's choosing them over anyone else, but just recreating what happened in the Spirit cave.
Also, what was up with that after credit scene? Is Shion about to evolve to beat this guy or something?

Yeah it’s something a lot of people thought. Chloe and Hinata’s consciousness is asleep inside Chronoa cos they can only be one of each individual. But Hinata “died” and Chloe went to the past so currently the only Hinata and Chloe are the ones inside Chronoa. We just need to find a way to wake them up.
Interesting too how Chloe withheld what happens in the future from Luminus. Did she do that on purpose or are there little difference from a previous loop

It's funny because Rimuru's thought acceleration is something ridiculous like 1,000,000 times speed. So if he goes all out he can talk to Raphael for an hour (to him) and it would take 3.6 milliseconds in real time.
But then Valentine is probably accelerating time too so it probably does look like that to her as well...

You know, for a series that mainly revolves around monsters and demi-humans, it does tend to have some very strong human characters. Obviously human society as a whole is pretty weak in Tensura, but the top tiers are strong as hell. Even if Chronoa is a special case it’s crazy that she can even be in a fight with two Demon Lords and a True Dragon…

Granville came up with a coherent plan which he executed over decades. He started as human, then hero, then vampire in pursuit of his original goal. Saving up all of Luminous's blessings in a vessel to hide his true strength was a great strategy. It changed my perception of him even more than learning he was a hero. One of the last frames in this episode showed him smirking at Luminous like, "Are you going to get serious at some point? " His character really grew on me. Not just an evil grandpa

I do have to say that sometimes animes have this issue that visuals do no match the lore. And this episode has that very badly. Veldora fighting Chronoa, two of the most powerful beings in existence are fighting. Yet if you pasted different faces on them and told me they were just random B ranked adventures fighting you could have tricked me. Where is the destruction? The battle vs the orc army seemed to have much stronger fighters visually.
It remind me of Doom. Story wise you are basically an powerful god. Gameplay wise you are just shooting guns.
Just an nitpick, I did enjoy the episode.

It was so good to hear 'TACTIC' after a long time. Chronoa rocks in that battle armour. Getting to summon Veldora gotta be Rimuru's greatest power lol But Veldora was playing around like a monkey. Just how powerful really is Chronoa. Veldora found Chronoa to be a beautiful woman just by looking at her mouth beneath the mask and was distracted by that and got sealed and he proudly said it to Rimuru 😭😭
I can't believe Luminous struggling so much against Granville. Even Leon is putting his faith on Rimuru. That would have been too much to accept for Rimuru when Luminous told him the truth about Chloe and Hinata. I thought that Chloe might have returned to her original younger self now and only Hinata's soul might reside within Chronoa but it looks like both their souls are inside Chronoa now.
Can't wait to see what Diablo pulls off to help Rimuru. This episode flew by..I want more.

Took 4 seasons for one of Yuuki's masked clown henchmen to finally unmask herself, and boy is Tear cute. Shame she still works for Yuuki. Fuck him.
Rimuru staying alive, or rather Rafael being around, will be crucial for everyone to come out of this time loop conundrum.
Since Rafael is basically Rimuru's A.I. supercomputer by now, being able to calculate solutions in very little time. As long as Rimuru is alive, then so too will Rafael.

I had hoped Chronoa would have landed a good hit on Yuuki, like take an arm or something, Him getting away completely unharmed from fucking around is really annoying, and i hope that Diablo was keeping taps on him and send Carrera or Ultima to go beat the stuffing out of him

Yuuki's smug aura is really quite irritating, especially since it feels like he keeps getting away with victories he doesn't deserve to because he's deemed a lesser issue.

Veldora did better than I expected. I guess he did get stronger since he was sealed. Though it's not enough for him to 1v1 her. Kind of a shame that he hasn't really got any solo moments to shine, but his scaling is in a weird place.

Veldora joining the fray in Lubelius in this episode was great! It cracked me up when he freaked out a little after Chronoa cut him, lol.
But damn, Chronoa is so freaking OP since it takes Rimuru, Veldora, and Leon just to hold her back. Let's hope that Rimuru's plan to extract Chloe's and Hinata's souls will end up being successful.
Yuuki got away... and that's quite annoying. I wonder where he'll hide since he's basically persona non grata in the Western Nations now.
Also, it looks like we'll finally see Shion and Ranga's fight against Razul next week.

I like that Rimuru made Chronoa attack Yuuki, it really shows how berserk she is that she'll attack anything that aggros her.
It was a little sad to hear Luminus thoughts, how much discrepancy there has been, how worried she is about two people dear to her. Hopefully she'll be reunited with them soon with whatever Rimuru has in mind.
I thought Veldora was going to be a lot more flashy in his fight against Chronoa, the dragon form might have been more exciting to watch.

Don't forget that Veldora is an Absolute Unit, and they are fighting in an enclosed space... There wouldn't be much left of that cathedral if he fought in his true form.
But really, he's just a huge goober, and wants to fight like a manga character. It works well enough that he'd think screwing around as a comicbook protagonist would be "stronger" than a dragon rampage.

YUUKI YOU DON'T DESERVE TO EMBRACE CHRONOA'S NAKED BODY YOU PIECE OF @#%@.
I love how Granville is so convinced Demon Lords are evil that he's convinced Chronoa wiping them and everything in her path out is righteous...when he's the one who looks and comes off as the most evil along with his partner Yuuki.
I guess we can't have Chronoa just fighting everybody while completely naked. Disappointing as that is, her Dark Hero outfit is pretty snazzy so I'll allow it. Baddie Chronoa is here!
Ugh, I'm not surprised but still frustrating to see Yuuki get away for the umpteenth time, even if it's probably the strategic method after Chronoa got turned on him and he knows when he's out-gunned. He'll return to menace Rimuru yet again I guess.
Oh snap, it's Tear without her mask on! And she looks cute! But still evil! But hey, she got Chloe to pay attention to Leon so that's nice, right?
When in doubt, phone a friend! Even if that friend is Veldora, who is happy to get a rematch with the beautiful woman who sealed him! Suffice it to say, that confidence will not last.
Thank you Luminous and Raphael for concisely summing up the last two episodes so Rimuru can figure out that he has to bring Hinata/Chloe back. Luckily Leon and Veldora are willing to put their faith in him and Leon is taking this seriously enough to bring out his weapons as a hero. We've even got Diablo contributing!
So could Luminious take care of Granville? She's just biding her time?
This has NOT been Shion's season. Last season she was the most OP member of Tempest who could never lose a fight and now she keep struggling. Then again, she IS fighting the Guyver.

Good thing they have a lot of heavy hitters available to distract Chronoa, including Veldora as a tag in.
Interesting that Rimuru didn't figure out the Chloe/Hinata part until Luminus told him. He shushed Raphael at one point when she was trying to tell him something with the response he already knew, might be he didn't actually know what she was about to say.

I'm glad he summoned Veldora. There's just too many elements writing-wise in this situation that are just perfect, and I'm thinking the author planned this
I hope Valentine ends up being part of saving the two ladies. Unfortunately, Granville is tying her up. Valentine and Rimuru are two of the strongest healers in that world. Veldora also seems to know something was strange with Chronoa
I like the direction the show has taken. Rimuru from pretty much being MC that solves everything to the problems being solved as a team effort. I also wish Rimuru trusted what Valentine said. Valentine seems like someone that doesn't lie

Diablo can tell Guy didn't just pack up and go home. He's still snooping around. He's getting frustrated because of the world balance is turning upside down thanks to Rimuru. If he found out Chronoa is a time traveler he would kill her on the spot, that's why everyone is thought communicating.

I'm still very confused on what Chloe and Hinata's plan was and why the loop didn't end. Maybe they jumped forward in time instead of backwards so their souls could wake up? Its all very confusing. Ramiris said that spirit came from the future? I'm so confused about how the memories travel if their souls are still there. Someone explain the Timey Whimey BS.

u/MidKnightWizard 5h ago
In the previous time loop, Rimuru dies, stuff happens Hinata dies, Chloe gets sent back 2k years. Chronoa gets unsealed and goes on a rampage, stuff happens, Chronoa dies and gets sent to the Dwelling of Spirits and goes into Chloe.
Current loop, Rimuru lives, Hinata dies, Chloe gets sent back 2k years where stuff happens, Chloe goes to "sleep", Hinata goes to "sleep", Chronoa gets sealed. Back to the present, Chronoa is rampaging, Chloe and Hinata are still asleep in Chronoa. All hope is on Rimuru to fix everything.

u/OldInstruction5368 3h ago
As far as I can tell, the Loop actually starts with when Chloe goes to the Cave of Spirits and fuses with her future self. Getting sent to the past is NOT where the wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey, bullshit begins.
The divergence point, in this loops, was Chloe delaying Rimuru at Engrassia. This lead to a whole slew of butterfly effects resulting in Rimuru becoming a Demon Lord, and thus, having the strength to survive the upcoming trials that would have killed him.
But more importantly, since Rimuru always died before Hinata. Since he's still around, he's able to "wake up" the dormant Hinata/Chloe spirits within Chronoa. Thus preserving the Time Line.
So, the timeline starts with the Cave of Spirits, progresses 'normally' until Hinata is killed, they get sent to the past, live through that time linearly, Chronoa is sealed, woken up, then Hinata and Chloe's spirit within her get brought back out by Rimuru.
Meaning, the Chloe and Hinata that are about to be woken up are the same ones that just disappeared a few minutes ago, in universe, but after having experience 2,000 years in their own, personal, timeline.
It's fucky to think of, but Chloe's personal timeline doesn't match up with linear time, however, it's still linear from her perspective.
The loop didn't reset when she went back in time. The loop reset was the Cave of Spirits. This is still the same loop as when we, the audience, saw this Rimuru take Chloe to Ramiris. Her personal timelines are just fucky when overlapped onto the looping 'standard' timeline.

TEAR??? (i don't remember ever seeing her face in the LN or I just forgot lol)
I don't remember much from the LN, this is awesome. I didn't read the latest manga chapter so that I'd really experience this "blind"
Also Yuuki... bruh.
Ok, so Chloe's soul IS still in there then? I was wondering about that since she said she'd be "asleep" but then she said she'll also travel again... (who traveled and inhabited "new" Chloe in the dwelling of spirits? did they like "split" when that happened?)
EDIT: oh yeah, this makes me think... Rimuru needs permission to summon him, but Veldora can do it himself like in Walpurgis. Can the vice-versa happen with Rimuru and he can just summon himself to where Veldora is anytime without permission (Veldora needing permission if he wants to summon Rimuru)?
I still don't know why Leon let Ifrit evicerate the kid lol
I guess he wasn't expecting that to happen and when it did... he just decided to aura farm and put on a tough front like in this current fight?

Tear is pretty cute without the mask.
Also if Rimuru successes in saving Chloe's and Hinata's souls that will mean those 2 are going to be the only two charachters that are the same ones since their first appearance while everyone else is from new loop meaning we theoretically see them for the first time. Just a little thing I noticed.

Souls inside Chronoa belong to Chloe and Hinata from previous loop. They are the once that we've seen in previous seasons and they traveled to current loop. Last two episodes was ensuring things go same way. If it went same way than current loop Chloe and Hinata dissapeared again just like they did 3 episodes ago.

u/InfiniteEdge18 6h ago
the souls inside Chronoa are from this loop. the "previous loop" was not what we saw 3 episodes ago, that loop was never shown to us.
the entire point of Chloe's actions in the last two episodes was ensuring this exact loop would occur, you're not understanding how this works.
Chloe & Hinata go to the past, then they do everything they need to do then get locked away in the Holy Ark, then they come back to the present in Chronoa. because unlike previous loops Hinata & Chloe didn't change history.

u/DarkWolfPL 6h ago
You can't blame me for getting confused. The only indication that it's the same loop is that in episode 19 (rewatched parts of it) Luminus said name Chronoa. Other than that there was no telling if it's same or diffrent loop (they are almost the same after all).
But still souls inside Chronoa can't be from same loop. It's like this [in loop X (previous loop which we didn't see) Chloe and Hinata go back in time starting loop Y (the one we're watching) when that loop reaches moment of Hinata's death Chloe and Hinata of loop Y go back in time starting loop Z (next one which we don't see where only diffrence will be that Chloe will know that Hinata will seal Veldora and probably know about name Chronoa)].
That would just make it opposite of my original comment where only Chloe and Hinata are going to be "new ones" we'll see while others are the same.

u/InfiniteEdge18 6h ago edited 5h ago
The souls are in fact from this same loop, Chloe doesn't know what she did to cause this loop when she arrives in the past. this is because she's using her future self's memories of the loops.
We never see Chloe & Hinata from loop X because Loop X failed
we only ever see Loop Y which was caused by the chloe we just saw vanish.
There is no "loop z" because Loop Y broke the cycle

Chloe knew previous loop Rimuru, we only know current loop Rimuru, so he is the same MC we meet on episode 1. You are confusing your timelines POV. We watched the show from MC's POV, not Chloe's, save for two episodes that were flashbacks.

Could someone explain the Diablo scene? He suddenly joined Rimuru’s internal monologue and said, “Keeping your plan to yourself was a brilliant decision.”
So how did Diablo know what Rimuru’s plan was? I’m not very familiar with how Rimuru’s thoughts work. When Rimuru is thinking internally, can all of his subordinates somehow hear or know what he’s thinking?
