That Time I Was Reincarnated as Slime Season 3 Episode 2 – More Political Conspiracies
Ever since Rimuru became the demon lord, defeated the Falmus Kingdom, and killed the demon lord Clayman, things have become very tense. We are seeing all the different results of whatever Rimuru did and now we witness a slowly changing society giving way to Rimuru and Veldora.
At the beginning of the episode, we see what the demon lord Kazaream and Veldora are like. His subordinates discuss what they must do now that Clayman is dead. They are more than angry about this whole thing because Clayman is more than just a pawn to them and thus, they plan to calculate their exact next move against Rimuru. They realized that Clayman was defeated because he was not cautious enough.
He shouldn't have stood out on the leaderboard with his performance and should have waited like Laplace told him to. This is why Yuuki suggested that they not directly interfere with Tempest but rather tease Rimuru a little. Now how they will do that is something we will have to wait and see. My guess is that Yuuki will try to manipulate Hinata and make her fight Rimuru.
Hinata, on the other hand, before learning of Rimuru's acceptance as demon lord, had similar thoughts. How should she deal with Rimuru? In addition, she also learned about Demon Lord Roy's death. Her monologue is fun to watch as we understand why the vampires had to form a nation and are willing to go to great lengths to have good relationships with humans.
We also get a clear picture of why someone is upright and upright. duty as Hinata is serving the vampire demon lord Luminous Valentine. They also discussed with each other how to proceed regarding Rimuru and Veldora.

This season has been politically intriguing from the start as we see how Rimuru's presence is becoming a threat to many countries. He is not just a cheerful slime anymore but most people know him. Yes, most people who met him loved him but there were also people who feared him.
But one thing is for sure, most people are afraid of Rimuru's power which they should be afraid of for obvious reasons. Rimuru will definitely not spare anyone if they try to hurt his friends and family, which is why things will get more interesting in the upcoming episodes. I like how Tensura's world-building is becoming more and more serious. The plot is really dense and by the end of each episode you want to see what happens next.
