02x12 - (D) The One Unleashed

[bunniefuu]

[RIMURU] But we're

commencing the operation

to annihilate them immediately.

There's absolutely

no time to waste.

We will revive

Shion and the others!

[GROUP]

Right!

Lord Rimuru.

[RIMURU]

Huh?

You might be different

after your evolution.

So, it would be wise if we came

up with some sort of password.

Something to test

your reasoning.

[RIMURU]

Any ideas?

Yes.

How about...

"Shion's cooking

tastes like sh*t."

[RIMURU gasps]

So I'll say, "Shion's

cooking..." and you respond,

"...tastes like sh*t."

[RIMURU] What kind of

crap password is that?!

Shion'll be pissed!

Heh. Yes, it's perfect.

It might make her angry enough

to wake up and complain.

Right?

[RIMURU]

Uh, I guess.

Let's do it.

We'll succeed. No matter what.

[RIMURU]

Yeah.

[RIMURU groans]

What... happened?

Is everyone...

Was my evolution successful?

[RAPHAEL] Yes. Your

evolution to Demon Lord,

the Harvest Festival, was

completed successfully.

[RIMURU]

That's good.

[SHION gasps]

Lord Rimuru!

You've finally awakened!

[RIMURU]

Huh...?

[SHION chuckles]

Hello, sleepyhead. Good morning.

[RIMURU]

'Morning, Shion.

I'm happy to see

you've made it back to us.

[SHION] Yes. Thanks

to you, Lord Rimuru.

[RIMURU] Listen. Don't you ever

worry me like that again.

That's an order.

Understood. I give you my word.

Lord Rimuru?

Hey, look, he's awake!

[SHION] Attention!

Lord Rimuru has succeeded

in bringing everyone

here back to life!

[CITIZENS]

We have all been resurrected

without a single

soul left behind.

Thanks to our

ruler, Lord Rimuru.

[RIMURU sighs]

Yeah...

Huh? You guys all look...

Hmm...

I dunno, kind of

different somehow.

[RAPHAEL] Notice.

All the individuals connected

to your soul have

been given gifts,

which have caused

them to evolve.

[RIMURU]

Really?

Also, is it just me or are you

speaking more fluently?

[RAPHAEL] No. This is how

I have always spoken.

It's just your imagination.

[RIMURU]

Yeah, you're probably right!

[laughs]

Wait! Like hell it is!

You can't kid

a kidder, Great Sage!

[RAPHAEL] Notice. The truth is,

that your unique skill

"Great Sage" evolved

into the ultimate skill

known as "Raphael."

[RIMURU] Raphael? You must

be pretty amazeballs

if you have an angel's name!

[RAPHAEL] Indeed, there is no

question that I cannot answer.

[RIMURU] Is that so?

Well, I'll look forward to that!

But for real, you're speaking

more fluently, right?

[RAPHAEL]

No. It's your imagination.

[RIMURU] You're just gonna

stick to that story, huh?

[BENIMARU]

By the way, my lord.

[RIMURU]

Huh?

If you will, may I test

whether you retained yourself

through your evolution?

Per our last discussion.

[RIMURU]

Uh?

So, Shion's cooking...

[RIMURU yelps]

[BENIMARU]

Hmph.

[RIMURU whimpering]

What's that about

my cooking, Lord Rimuru?

Please, tell me!

[RIMURU whimpers] I can't

respond with "Tastes like sh*t"!

Your answer? Come, my lord.

--[RIMURU] Uhh!

--Say it so we can be sure.

[RIMURU]

Benimaru!

Lord of Wisdom, Raphael!

You're up!

Use your wisdom to

give me a great answer

so I can fool Shion and live!

[RAPHAEL]

Notice. The applicable answer...

[RIMURU]

What is it?!

[RAPHAEL]

...does not exist.

[RIMURU gasps]

You hack!

What happened to the "There is

no question I cannot answer"?!

Go on, what'd you want

to say about my cooking?

[RIMURU]

Bwuh?! Well, uh...

[BENIMARU snickers]

You want some, right?

You missed her terribly.

And you seemed so sad

you couldn't eat her food.

[RIMURU]

He set me up!

Is that really true?

I'll gladly make you something!

--[giggles]

--[RIMURU whines]

[RAPHAEL] However, I recommend

giving this answer.

--[RIMURU] Raphael!

--[RAPHAEL] Are you ready?

[RIMURU]

Uh...? Huh?

Genius! That's my

Lord of Wisdom!

[RIMURU]

Ah, I remember now.

Ahem. You're asking

me for the password

that you came up with, yes?

When you say,

"Shion's cooking,.."

I am supposed to

respond with the words,

"...tastes like sh*t."

[gasps]

[RIMURU] You're the one who

told me to say that, right?

It. Was. All. You.

Hey! Lord Rimuru!

[RIMURU]

I recall it very clearly.

That's the password

you came up with!

So, do you see now

that I still have my reason? Eh?

Uh. Wait, Shion!

Lord Rimuru is

obviously still confused,

having just awakened, you know?

--[RIMURU groans]

--[SHION] I understand.

Sir Benimaru...

Rather, Benimaru.

Seeing as I serve

Lord Rimuru directly,

I don't need to use

your official title.

[BENIMARU gulps]

But fortunately for you,

I'm feeling generous

and will gladly cook nonstop

until you burst from fullness.

[BENIMARU groans]

[SHION]

Hmm.

[SHION laughs wickedly]

How could you do that to me?!

[RIMURU] Do your best

to not die, my dude.

You know that's impossible!

Although... I've taste-

tested her food before.

So I did learn Poison

Resistance recently.

[RIMURU]

Whoa, for real?

Will it help? Who knows...

[RIMURU] Yeah, well.

You reap what you sow, man.

Oh, yes. I forgot.

There's no time

to contemplate my death.

We still have a big problem.

[RIMURU]

We do?

Indeed, it occurred during

the three days you were asleep.

[RIMURU]

I was out for three days?!

[BENIMARU] Yes, and

something drastic happened

to our friends in Eurazania.

[RIMURU gasps]

[MILIM laughs]

Greetings, Eurazania!

I'm Milim Nava!

And starting today,

I void any past agreements

between the Demon Lords.

I declare w*r on

the Beastmaster himself.

That's you, Demon Lord Carrion!

Seriously?

[gasping]

The w*r will begin in one week!

You'd better be ready,

and don't disappoint me!

[laughs]

Hold it right there!

Tell me why, Milim!

So it's w*r, then? Bring it on!

I'll even take the lead

if you'll allow me to!

Wait, Suphia.

You don't know how powerful

Demon Lord Milim is.

Even if the entire Brigade

were to take her on at once,

she could just

slaughter everyone

with a flick of her wrist.

Oh, really? If that's

what you say after seeing

Milim's strength firsthand,

Phobio, it must be true.

So, of the two of us,

which one is stronger?

[PHOBIO gasps]

[sighs]

Though it pains me

a great deal to admit this,

she easily lives up

to her nickname.

Demon Lord Milim is

the Destroyer for a reason.

[CARRION]

Hmm. I see.

So you're saying

she's the stronger one.

[PHOBIO gasps]

No, sir! I didn't mean--

If I turned tail just because

an enemy was strong,

then I'd be a sorry Demon Lord.

Plus, it'll be fun to fight

the legendary Milim.

I can't pass up such an

interesting opportunity,

now can I?

Go talk to our slime friend.

And send our citizens to

the Great Forest of Jura.

If they're still here when Milim

Nava and I start our fight,

there will be casualties.

Furthermore, no one shall

engage the Demon Lord but me.

What? But, sir--!

Let me fight, too!

Please! Allow us to assist you--

That's enough!

Only I am capable of fighting

Demon Lord Milim Nava,

do you understand?!

[CARRION] I want you three

to prioritize the safety

of our citizens.

I will not allow you to

intervene in our battle, got it?

[PHOBIO, ALBIS, SUPHIA]

Right!

Have faith. I'll win this fight.

[CARRION]

I didn't dislike you, Milim.

We could have become

good friends. Pity.

[ALBIS]

And that's what happened.

She declared w*r ten days ago.

[RIMURU sighs]

And then, three days ago...

[CARRION] Hey, Milim. What's up

with the declaration of w*r?

[CARRION] Hmm. Don't tell me

you're being controlled

or something? If that's true,

it's rather disappointing.

If I don't b*at you at your

best, then I'll never be able

to prove that I'm the strongest

of the Demon Lords!

Behold! What you're seeing

is my Unique Skill.

It's Royal Beast Form!

For I am the Beast King!

Carrion the Beastmaster!

[MILIM]

Heh.

It's too bad,

but I can't let you leave

now that you've seen this form.

Believe me when I say

it's not personal.

I'm done holding back.

It's time to end this!

[MILIM]

Heh!

This is where

you and I part ways!

Beast Roar!

[CARRION]

Ah...

[CARRION]

Milim Nava. The Destroyer.

That's the real you, isn't it?

In your combat form.

[laughs]

[gasps]

That was actually fun.

It's been ages since

my left arm stung like that.

It's only fair that I find

a way to repay you.

Drago-Nova!

[CARRION gasps]

[CARRION gasps]

[CARRION]

She's... on another level.

[CARRION]

Yes.

Milim just might be...

[FREY]

Might be what?

I'd love to know your

thoughts, Lord Carrion.

The Sky Queen Frey.

Is that you?

Yes, naturally.

Ah. How annoying.

[FREY] What?

Come now, that's just hurtful.

And here I was hoping

we could have a nice talk.

[CARRION grunts]

[slicing]

[RIMURU] Whoa, so Eurazania

was totally destroyed?

Indeed. I witnessed

the whole thing.

[GRUCIUS grunts]

[ALBIS] But we did evacuate

the citizens in advance,

so they are safe.

[RIMURU gasps] We need

to arrange lodging and food

for the refugees!

Sir! While I hesitated to do so,

I made arrangements

without permission.

[RIMURU]

Oh, good. Excellent job.

[sighs]

We're grateful to you.

[RIMURU] Still, the Demon

Lord Frey was with Milim?

We never imagined the

two of them would team up.

What's more, to our knowledge,

Demon Lord Milim has always

loathed those sorts

of underhanded tactics.

[RIMURU] Yeah, it definitely

seems a bit weird.

She may be kind of wild,

but she doesn't play dirty.

[PHOBIO]

Regarding that...

[RIMURU]

Uh?

When Demon Lord

Frey finally left.

She didn't go back home.

Nor was she travelling

toward Milim's domain.

[RIMURU gasps]

Where'd she go?

Somewhere much worse.

Toward Demon Lord

Clayman's domain.

What?!

[SUPHIA growls]

But that's madness!

I have to go!

Hold it, Suphia!

[SUPHIA gasps]

You want revenge?

Then the three of us

will go there together.

[RIMURU]

Easy there, sluggers.

[RIMURU] For what it's worth,

I think Demon Lord Carrion

is still alive.

Milim has to be pissed that

their duel was interrupted.

There's something

more to all this.

So don't go flying

off the handle

and razing any cities just yet.

We won't be able to help

anyone unless we figure this out

and work together.

As you wish.

--Okay.

--All right.

[GRUCIUS grunts]

[RIMURU] Is Demon Lord Clayman

the one pulling the strings?

If that's true, then we could

very well be up against

three different Demon Lords.

[RIMURU] Well... There's still

a lot to figure out, huh?

--[RANGA] Hmm?

--[RIMURU] What's up?

[BLACK] I see you've

awakened from your slumber.

I'm so glad.

[RIMURU]

Uh, yeah?

[BLACK] I offer

my sincere congratulations

on your successful

evolution to Demon Lord.

[RIMURU]

For sure.

Who are you again?

[BLACK]

Guh!

[whimpers, sobs]

My... What a wicked

sense of humor...

I may be a demon, my lord,

but I assure you,

even I have feelings.

[RIMURU] Dude's got some

crazy strong demon vibes.

But he is not ringing a bell.

[RANGA] He is one of

the demons that was summoned

when you consumed the souls of

the soldiers of Falmuth, Master.

[RIMURU]

Oh, duh!

You still hangin' around?!

[gasps]

Uh. Yes, sir...?

[RIMURU] I heard you really

did me a solid back there!

Thanks a lot, bruh!

[BLACK]

Ah! Please! It was my pleasure.

On that note, sir--

[RIMURU] Sorry to keep you,

feel free to go!

It's whatever.

[grunts]

It is "whatever"...?

[RIMURU]

Yep!

[BLACK sobbing]

[RIMURU]

Uh, you okay, man?

[BLACK]

Please don't say such a thing!

As I asked of you

at my summoning,

I wish to serve as your most

humble servant, my lord!

[RIMURU]

You want to serve me?

[RIMURU] But this guy's

obviously a lot higher-ranked

than something like

a greater demon, right?

Is he that hard up for a job?

[RIMURU]

Hey, Ranga.

Are you positive this is

the same demon I summoned?

Without a doubt, sir.

[RIMURU]

I see... Well, okay.

You cool with working for free?

[gasps] Ah! Serving you is

all the payment I need.

[RIMURU]

Sweet. It's a deal.

Ah! I'm delighted,

my lord! Thank you.

[RIMURU] Drop the whole

"my lord" thing, though.

It creeps me out.

[grunts]

Rimuru's fine with me.

Rimuru...

--What a beautiful ring it has!

--[RIMURU] Uhh...

I'm henceforth yours,

Great Rimuru.

[RIMURU]

So, you got a name, or...?

I have none. And I'm content

to remain anonymous.

[RIMURU]

That could get confusing.

How 'bout I give you one

in place of payment.

What?! That's the

greatest reward I could

ever hope to receive.

[RIMURU]

Let's see...

You're a demon, so we should do

something fire and brimstone-y.

I know! Your name is Diablo!

[BLACK]

Diablo...

[RIMURU] It straight-up

means "demon" and there

are sweet cars with that name.

I see no downsides.

Serve me well enough

to live up to the name.

We'll get along fine.

[RIMURU gasps]

[RIMURU groans] That took

about half of my magicules,

but summoning the greater

demon Beretta took about %,

so I guess that's

less than I expected.

--[RAPHAEL] Notice.

--[RIMURU] Uh?

[RAPHAEL] Since you evolved,

your magicules have

vastly increased.

For this reason, a fair

comparison cannot be made.

[RIMURU]

How much more do I have now?

[RAPHAEL]

Ten times the previous amount.

[RIMURU gasps] I have

a feeling he's gonna evolve

into a hell of a fiend.

[RIMURU gasps]

He looks so strong!

[DIABLO]

Diablo... That is my name.

My heart overflows

with gratitude.

I thank you.

From this day forward,

I offer you my complete

and utter devotion.

[RIMURU]

Heh. I'll be counting on you.

Now. It seemed as though

something was troubling you.

Please tell me if I can assist.

[RIMURU]

Oh, it's no big deal.

Okay, that's a lie.

It's about the future.

[DIABLO]

Go on.

[RIMURU] There are too many

problems happening at once.

The thing with Clayman...

The aftermath of

the Kingdom of Falmuth...

And how to deal with

the Western Holy Church

that views monsters

as enemies...

Quite the dilemma.

[RAPHAEL] Notice. I believe

there's no need to worry

about the Western Holy Church.

[RIMURU]

Why's that?

[RAPHAEL] Because the Appraisal

of the Unlimited Imprisonment

that seals the individual named

Veldora is nearly complete.

[RIMURU] What?!

So it's seriously possible

to free Veldora?!

[RAPHAEL]

Seriously.

[RIMURU] I thought that would

take hundreds of years!

You're amazing, Raphael!

[RAPHAEL] If Veldora is

freed and able to fight,

that should be more

than enough to keep

the Western Nations in check.

[RIMURU]

That's true. As a church,

they can't afford to be careless

and anger a dragon.

Also, you do speak

a lot more fluently now!

[RAPHAEL]

No. It's your imagination.

[RIMURU]

Oh, forget it!

Huh. I think I'm starting to see

a way out of these problems now.

Yeah. I can definitely

make this work.

Oh? Have you come up with

a brilliant idea?

[RIMURU] I've decided to live up

to the title of Demon Lord!

[chuckles]

Splendid, Lord Rimuru.

I, Diablo, swear my loyalty

to you for eternity.

[RANGA]

Yes! On the subject of loyalty,

I, Ranga, am also your

loyal servant, Master!

[RIMURU]

I know, buddy.

[RANGA pants excitedly]

[DIABLO whines]

[RIMURU]

Now that that's settled,

I'm going out for a bit.

Ranga, will you tell everyone

to start preparing a banquet?

Done!

[RIMURU]

Souei, you there?

--Of course.

--[RIMURU] Get started--

I will gather intel

on Clayman at once.

[RIMURU] Wow. I didn't even

have to give the order.

Gotta love a dude who knows

how to get stuff done.

Okay, I'm heading out.

[RIMURU] After I evolved into

a Demon Lord, my ultimate skill,

Raphael, presided

over all my other skills,

which made them

way easier to use.

Gluttony seems to have

evolved into Beelzebub, too,

so now I'm packing

two ultimate skills!

Now that's what I call OP!

[RIMURU]

This place brings back memories.

[RIMURU] How have

two years already passed?

[RAPHAEL]

Notice.

Appraisal of Unlimited

Imprisonment is complete.

[RIMURU] I can finally

fulfill my promise.

I'll set you free now.

Let's do this, Veldora.

[RIMURU]

Huh? Am I... taller?

[RIMURU groans] Raphael.

Make a double of my body.

That way Veldora can inhabit it.

[RAPHAEL]

Activating Enhanced Body Double.

[RIMURU] Huh? Dang.

I did mature a bit.

[gasps]

[RIMURU]

If I do say so myself,

I'm kind of a hottie.

[gasps]

Ahem! Okay, task at hand.

[RIMURU grunts]

Please work.

[RAPHAEL] Notice.

Soul corridor between Master

and the individual

named Veldora confirmed.

Yes!

[cackles]

I am the Storm Dragon,

Veldora Tempest! Revived!

[chuckles]

And those who defy me

will be slaughtered!

[laughs]
