Reader’s Question:
I have a question for a dedicated fan of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” This is my first time asking a question on this platform, so I’m a bit nervous. I apologize if my writing is not perfect! I’ve only seen part of the anime and
some of the comics, but I’ve come across two different names for the weapon used by Sāre-kun. Some sites refer to it as “Demon Slayer,” while others call it “Demon’s Slayer.” Could you please let me know which one is correct? Thank you!
Unraveling the Mysteries of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”
So, let me take you on a little journey about something that caught my attention recently. I was sitting in the cozy corner of my favorite café, sipping on my usual matcha latte—yes, I’m that person who orders matcha every time—and scrolling through some comments on “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.” It’s a delightful series that has completely captured my imagination, and I can’t help but dive deeper every chance I get. One of the comments I stumbled upon was from a user, who, let’s call them Sāre-kun Fan (because, why not?), was a bit flustered about the name of the weapon used by Sāre-kun. They had come across two different names: “Demon Slayer” and “Demon’s Slayer.” Now, if you’re a fan, you know that such discrepancies can drive us all a bit mad, right? The weight of these names—their meanings, their implications—can almost feel like the fate of a world resting on our shoulders. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but you get the point! What’s fascinating here is that the correct name, as pointed out by our fellow enthusiast, is “Demon’s Slayer” (破邪の剣). I remember the first time I learned about it. I was buried in the pages of Volume 7, Chapter 6, and it felt like a light bulb went off. It’s moments like these that bring a sense of camaraderie among fans, each of us sharing our little discoveries.
A Personal Reflection
This brings me to a broader reflection on the nature of fandoms. When I first started watching the anime, I was completely oblivious to the depth of the lore. I just thought it was a fun story about a guy who gets reincarnated as a slime—what’s not to love? But as I delved into the comics and the spin-offs, I found myself connecting with others who shared my passion. We exchanged theories, debated character arcs, and celebrated those little Easter eggs that made us squeal with joy. I remember one time, I was having a long discussion with a friend about the character development of Rimuru. We were so engrossed that we didn’t even realize we had spent hours at the café. The barista was probably rolling their eyes at us for hogging the table while we indulged in too many pastries—seriously, who can resist a good chocolate croissant?
