Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the series “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” Do spiritual beings like Rimuru have the ability to have children? Are there any other races, like heroes or saints, that also can’t have children?
Exploring the Mystique of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as
a Slime”
As a university student delving into the fascinating world of psychology, I often find myself drawn not just to the intricacies of the human mind but also to the enchanting realms of fantasy. Recently, while juggling my studies and a part-time gig at a judicial scrivener’s office, I stumbled upon a question that sparked my curiosity: Can spiritual beings like Rimuru really have children? I remember sitting in my favorite café, a cozy little spot that serves the best cinnamon rolls—oh, how I indulged that day! With a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and my laptop in the other, I dove into the world of Rimuru and the intriguing lore surrounding spiritual beings.
Children of the Spirit: A Complex Concept
From what I gathered, spiritual beings, or “seishin seibutai,” evolve to a point where they no longer require reproduction to ensure their continuity. This evolution leads to a loss of reproductive abilities, which is quite fascinating when you think about it. It’s like they transcend the physical needs that bind most beings to the concept of legacy. In contrast, heroes and saints—who are not entirely spiritual beings—retain their ability to reproduce. The distinction is subtle yet significant. I chuckled at the thought of a hero heroically saving the day while also managing to maintain a family. It’s almost like a sitcom waiting to happen!
A Surprising Twist in the Lore
One particularly surprising discovery was the mention of ancient dragon species, like the star dragon, who were able to have offspring. It sparked a thought: what if under certain conditions, even beings thought to be beyond reproduction could find a way to create life? It’s an intriguing notion that life finds a way, even in the most unexpected circumstances. Reflecting on this made me think about our own lives. We often set limits on what we believe is possible, much like the characters in our favorite stories. But just as Rimuru navigates his world, adapting and evolving, we too can challenge our boundaries and explore new potentials.
