Reader’s Question:
I have a question about “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” I recently started watching it and I really love Diablo. How strong is Diablo compared to Rimuru up to season 3 of the anime? Is he stronger?
Diving into the Strengths of Diablo and Rimuru
Hey there!
So, I recently had a chat with a friend who’s been binge-watching “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime,” and he’s totally enamored with Diablo. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Diablo is such an intriguing character with his devilish charm and overwhelming power. That got me thinking about the classic debate amongst fans: how does Diablo stack up against Rimuru, especially up to season 3 of the anime?
The Power Hierarchy
From what I gathered, Diablo is definitely no slouch. He ranks among the top three in the Tempest community and places around sixteenth in the strength hierarchy based on characters introduced by season three. However, if we’re being honest, Rimuru still holds the upper hand in terms of raw power. So here’s the breakdown. The term “Demon Lord” can mean two things: one as a title—referring to the ruler of demon-kind—and the other as a state of being, particularly when discussing the higher echelon of Demon Lords, like Rimuru after he absorbs a massive number of souls. This is where things get fascinating. Rimuru’s awakening as a True Demon Lord after taking the lives of 20,000 soldiers not only amplifies his magical energy but also enhances his skills to an entirely different level. Imagine going from an already formidable opponent to someone who’s ten times more powerful! He possesses four ultimate skills, which, let me tell you, is a game-changer. On the flip side, Diablo is known as an “Original Demon,” an entity that existed before the world itself was formed. His combat experience and techniques are almost unparalleled, which is impressive. But in terms of sheer magical energy and skill variety, Rimuru is still in the lead.
A Friendly Reflection
I remember having a similar debate with a couple of classmates over coffee, and we ended up getting so animated that our laughter echoed through the library. We even drew comparisons to superheroes from other franchises, which made the conversation spiral into a hilarious debate over who would win in a fight between Rimuru and a certain caped crusader! But back to the point, while Diablo’s strength and experience are commendable, the combination of Rimuru’s overwhelming magical energy, skills, and adaptability gives him a significant edge. It’s like watching a chess game where one player not only knows all the moves but has the ability to change the rules mid-game. So, if you’re a fan of Diablo, it’s totally understandable. His character depth and abilities make him compelling, but keep in mind that Rimuru’s overall power dynamics place him in a different league. What about you? Have you had any similar debates or memorable moments while discussing your favorite anime characters? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Let’s keep the conversation going!
