Reader’s Question:
I have a question about “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” I’m reading it on Mecha Comic, and I want to know in which chapter Rimuru gives the katana to Gobuta. What is the title of that chapter?
Reflecting on “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”
As someone who spends a considerable amount of time dissecting various narratives, both in fiction and in the legal world, I found the question about Rimuru giving the katana to Gobuta quite intriguing. It’s a moment that speaks volumes about character development and the bonds formed in fantastical settings. In chapter 105 of volume 23, titled “長鼻族(テング)の馴れ初め,” we see this pivotal exchange unfold. For those who have followed the series, it’s not just about the katana; it represents trust, loyalty, and the camaraderie that develops within a diverse group of characters. The dynamics between Rimuru and Gobuta are especially compelling, as they showcase the growth of Gobuta from a mere side character to an essential member of the team.
A Personal Anecdote
I remember the first time I was introduced to this series. I was lounging in my favorite corner of the library, surrounded by an array of snacks that I may have indulged in a bit too liberally. The aroma of popcorn and chocolate mixed with the musty scent of books created an atmosphere of comfort. As I flipped through the pages, I couldn’t help but chuckle at some of Gobuta’s antics. His clumsy yet earnest personality is a refreshing contrast to the more serious tones of the storyline. There was a particular moment when Gobuta, in an attempt to impress Rimuru, comically fumbled with a weapon that was far too large for him. It was one of those instances that reminded me of my own awkward phases—like showing up to a meeting way too early, only to have to awkwardly sip coffee while pretending to read something important. This is the beauty of storytelling; it allows us to reflect on our own experiences while embarking on fantastical journeys with characters that feel almost real.
