That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime S4 Ep 12
With the threat of Maribel defeated and Yuuki forced back to the drawing board, life in Tempest returns to normal. Well, as normal as it can get in a nation that’s evolving at such a ridiculously fast pace! Really, that is what this entire episode is about, though. Tempest is continuing to evolve as Rimruru looks towards the future of his nation. And there is plenty for him to look forward to as we head into the second cours of this incredibly long season!
This episode is more or less a breather episode to get us all caught up to speed on what comes next for Tempest, as Rimuru goes around meeting with his friends and allies and discussing what comes next. First up, he meets with the other leaders of Tempest to discuss the need for a legal system. Now, none of them would object to Rimuru being the end-all for the law, but he must have read up on history, because he knows that doesn’t end well. So, he comes up with a governmental system based on one of the most (objectively) successful on Earth: the United States government! And I say objectively because, let’s be honest, there are times when the US Government is its own worst enemy. Thankfully, everyone in Tempest is incredibly competent at what they do, so it’s not that big a problem.
CHOO-CHOO
One of the bigger highlights of the episode, though, is the surprise unveiling of the first-ever Magitrain! Thanks to Veldora and Ramiris’ help, the engineers got it done faster than I think Rimuru thought it would take!
I know it may not seem like much when we have cars and planes, but when locomotives were first created, they were a game-changer. For the first time, journeys that would take days or weeks were cut down to a fraction of the time. That led to an explosion of travel and trade in our world, allowing populations to skyrocket to what they are today. And with Tempest being the ones building these trains, it stands poised to become the biggest economic hub on the continent! Everyone will be clamoring to be on good terms with them, and that means that the idea of Humans and Monsters living together in peace is one step closer to reality.
The real highlight of the episode, though, has to be Millim and the rebirth of her beloved dragon.
BABY DRAGON
Thanks to Rimuru managing to save them in the last episode, Millim finally has a second chance with the beloved pet that she thought was lost to her. There’s one scene where Rimuru finds her fast asleep clutching the egg like it’s a beloved toy or pet, and it really shows us just how much this means to her. Millim may be very childish in nature, but there has always been that part of her that’s used it as a way to cope with her tragic past. Getting to see her enjoy this second chance is just so heartwarming, and it only gets better.
Given how this is the end to the first cours of the season, it’s natural for the anime to give us a special ending to reflect that. In this case, we see everyone in Tempest celebrating their accomplishments as of late l, only for it to be broken by the news that Gaia’s egg is about to hatch! As everyone in Tempest gathers around, we see the egg crack open as Gaia, Millim’s dragon friend, is reborn into the world. It’s honestly just so wholesome to watch, like a big family welcoming its newest member to the world. Seeing Millim happy over getting to see her friend again is enough to make a grown man cry, and that’s okay! Weep manly tears of joy!
This was such a sweet moment to end this first part of the season on, but thankfully, we don’t have to wait long for the next part. This season is so big that the anime is splitting it up into five parts, and the next one will be coming next week! Which, judging by when this goes up, will have already passed. So, hopefully, I will already have it ready! Fingers crossed!
I Give “Tempest Evolved” a 4.5/5! Bonus for the cute Dragon!
