The lightspeed hero has an interesting ability. I wonder how it'll come into play in Tempest. Masayuki doesn't hold any ill-will towards Rimuru, but maybe the "The Chosen One" ability has other plans. It seems like Shion's ability to break rules would be a good match, not that I really understand Shion's ability.

Done!
I know a lot of people were complaining that the show got slow, but I find all the stuff going on really interesting this season.
I'm really enjoying it but I also understand the other view. I would say it might be more fun to binge all at once since we're waiting a week between multiple episodes with worldbuilding/slice-of-life without the story advancing far. But I'm a longtime Civilization and SimCity fan and honestly some of my favorite parts of the show are about building up the JTF and the diplomacy with other nations.
One of the coolest things about isekai is I find a lot of writers use it as a springboard to the genre they actually want to write.
Reading "only the villainous lord has the power to level up" was crazy because it's this big epic political story and that's where I really realized how much authors are just using the gimmick as a springboard to a story that really isn't remotely isekai-like.
Yeah, and it's very hard to predict based on isekai titles whether you're going to encounter that kind of worthwhile passion project or one of the very silly ones.
I actually avoided Slime for a couple years because the title didn't draw me in - I though it sounded uninspired and derivative just based on the name. Little did I know I was missing out on one of the most interesting and complex isekai worlds until I gave it a shot and was immediately hooked.
In case anyone cares, it was not solely luck from his skill that Masayuki crushed Orthrus so smoothly, Yuuki basically took advantage of it and set him up. I thought it was more recent but it was episode 59 (S3E11) that Yuuki planned it.
Masayuki seems like the most relatable Otherworlder so far. All the others, including MC, seen to have been suffering from big red flags or depression. Masayuki seems like he's genuinely a decent caring person who is just pleased to be here. Like a confused golden retriever.
Future events
I had forgotten that we're introduced to Masayuki before we see Emperor Ludora or even the money girl arc play out. Can't wait to see how far season 3 will take us.
