Reader’s Question:
I have a question for you, as a fellow fan of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” When I asked a question recently, you kindly provided details about the volumes of the books, so I wanted to ask another question! Can you tell me where Saru-kun appears
after the Holy Magic War arc? I haven’t read the light novels at all, so I’m a bit lost. I did some research and think he participates in the pre-war arc (Volume 12), but I’m not very familiar with the details. I would really appreciate it if you could share more about the scenes where Saru-kun appears, especially when he becomes a disciple of Razen and any other parts he shows up in (spoilers are totally fine!). Also, I heard that the comic adaptation only goes a little beyond the anime. Is there any part in the comic that corresponds to Saru-kun’s appearances after the Holy Magic War arc? Sorry for the long message! Thank you so much!
Let’s Dive into the World of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”
As a fellow fan of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime,” I can totally relate to the excitement and confusion that comes from keeping track of all the characters and arcs. It’s like trying to navigate a massive library where every book has its own intricate story and you’re just hoping to find the right one! Recently, I had a delightful conversation with someone who was curious about Saru-kun’s appearances after the Holy Magic War arc. You know, Saru-kun, the cheeky little guy who captures our hearts with his charm and tenacity!
Saru-kun’s Journey Post-Holy Magic War Arc
From what I’ve gathered, Saru-kun makes some notable appearances in the light novels after the Holy Magic War arc. In Volume 12, we see him during the “Guests from the Empire” chapter where he’s already taken the plunge into becoming a disciple of Razen. It’s such a pivotal moment for him, and honestly, it adds layers to his character. The idea of training under a powerful figure like Razen just screams growth and development! Then in Volume 18, during “A Brief Daily Life,” he’s training with his partner Gregory. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the bonds these characters form? I always find that the little interactions during training sessions bring a levity that contrasts so well with the heavier themes of war and conflict. It’s like a slice of life episode amidst all the chaos! Fast forward to Volume 22, and Saru-kun is back in action, participating in a fight against the invading Phantom Beast Clan. His return as one of the Three Martial Sages adds an air of nostalgia and excitement. You can practically feel the tension crackling in the air, and the stakes are as high as ever!
The Comic Adaptation: A Bit Behind
Now, about the comic adaptation—you’re spot on! It only progresses a little beyond the anime, which means Saru-kun hasn’t made an appearance there yet post-Holy Magic War arc. It’s a bummer, right? I often find myself wishing for more of these characters in the comics, especially since they provide such a rich visual representation of the story! Reading your question made me reminisce about my own journey with the series. I remember being completely engrossed one afternoon, snacks piled high, and I accidentally spilled a bit of popcorn on my laptop. But, you know, it was worth it because I was laughing so hard at Rimuru’s antics that I barely noticed! Those kinds of moments make the reading experience so much more enjoyable and memorable. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with the series! Have you had any funny moments while reading or perhaps an interesting character interaction that caught you off guard? Feel free to share in the comments! Let’s keep the discussion alive and dive even deeper into this fantastic world together.
