50K does sound like a lot if the population is only 150K. I wonder if the author just pulled that number because of the Tokyo Dome or the real life Colosseum that is thought to have been in that range.

I agree with this. For me Slime is at its most entertaining when its doing SoL and comedy related stuff rather than the serious arcs. |

I wonder about Ramiris just abandoning her duties as Queen of the spirits, guarding the intersection between the great spirits and the mortal realm in her dungeon. Yes she has always been a mostly joke character but she had a role before. Now she really does seem like a vagrant.
I also curious about wether the Lycanthropes would want to be all housed in a labyrnth surrounded by untamed and uncivilised monsters. Also feels a bit weird to setup a monster farming dungeon under a nation of civilised monsters. Its like your encouraging human heroes to see monsters as barbaric even while doing the whole civilization thing above. I suppose on the surface level its just a society doing the isekai free resources from a magical dungeon thing. It just becomes another layer of ignoring the logistics of tempest so the show would not be any different. Could you imagine the tempest orcs eating orc meat burgers from resources from the dungeon? Queenie seems like she would fit right in on the praise Rimuru squad over food and free trade. |

Figures Gazel would take Rimuru's new Demon Lord status and power in stride. They are buddies after all!
Good to know for future reference that Treyni would probably rob a bank if Ramiris told her too, and Beretta is the only one with common sense in this trio. Thank goodness Rimuru found a way to keep Ramiris employed and enjoying herself before she caught a bigger mess. Elmesia feels like a political leader you don't want to mess with though she really roasted Erald as both a father and political figure. |

Basically spoiler[El is more than 2k years old. When she grew up she rounded up the Elven royal households that would eventually become the Thalion of today. Erald is her paternal uncle which makes Elyun/Ellen her first cousin. El's mom is also still alive and fairly powerful. Unfortunately not much is known about the other members of the elven royalty besides them]
spoiler[Erald is using one of Thalion's most prized products, a homunculus body. They use it by transferring their soul to it temporarily, taking control of it, and returning their souls to their true bodies once they're back home. Its used by high ranking nobles and royalty when they leave to go abroad as a security measure and they can choose to wear human homunculus bodies to hide the fact that they're elves from slavers. Like Ellen, Erald can also hide his elven ears using magic.] |

Just making sure I understand what's going on here.
This world has monsters, some of which are sentient (like the goblins, lizardkin, and wolves), some of which are either not sentient or unwilling to cooperate with anybody (like the antlions and regular slimes). Giving a monster a name gives them an immense power and intelligence upgrade, but many monsters are able to form civilizations of their own even without special names. Rimuru's goal is to try and convince the world that humans and monsters can live together in peace. I'm assuming he means specifically monsters living in Tempest and not the primal uncooperative type. I'm not fully clear on his stance on monsters outside of his borders, since he did ultimately provide shelter for the beastkin refugees and orcs, but we haven't really seen a lot of other encounters that I recall. To drum up interest in his city, Rimuru is now adding a lethal dungeon full of deadly traps. If you buy a one-off item, you can recover from death, though this seems to be an optional (potentially expensive) purchase rather than included in the price of admission. Veldora's aura has a high enough magicule density that new monsters will spawn from it. These monsters are intended to battle adventurers. I'm assuming these are part of the unintelligent/primal type and the show won't explore what happens if you could create new goblin/ogre/etc. tribes and intelligent creatures just from exuding energy. That might get convoluted quickly if Rimuru could then name them all in an infinite army/subject generation cycle. The visiting dignitaries are expected to be impressed by the dungeon and not horrified by detecting Veldora's unrestrained aura or the giant labyrinth of death traps and such hosted in the city. People will get excited and travel from all over to the city of monsters to challenge a labyrinth of monsters in battles to the death, and this will convince the world that Tempest's monsters are great people and you can live next door to them in peace. At least the monsters on the surface of Tempest, not the monsters in the dungeon. I'm sure it'll work out fine in the anime, but this whole plan seems a bit convoluted and I'm not sure officially blessing monster killing as entertainment would normally cause people to treat monsters as equals. |

Yep, thats my issue with the logic of it all as well. But I do not expect it to address such logic at all. It certainly has avoided logical assumptions in the past.
There isnt much to say otherwise about the show the last few weeks is there. Its all well and good, but it also doesnt have much there. Its taken the time to have all the planning conversations but none of the issues that would normally take place. Its happy go lucky and thats fine. What else do you say? Ahh right, the redditors would say: Isnt it adorable how X character does Y thing. Originally I thought the show would be about how monster societies in this world form and how the world works based on that. But that never happened after the lizards has 2 episodes about their society way back in season 1. |
