Talk:Rimuru Tempest/@comment-26144500-20190929023758

Why does it says " B " among Rimuru's former ranks in the Disaster Rank box.

We already know that B rank monsters and below are heavily supressed by Veldora's aura, with that being the reason why none of them were near Veldora's seal. Yet, Rimuru didn't feel that supression from the aura at all even after he learned Magic Perception while in front of Veldora. (Heck, even the A- rank Tempest Serpents were afraid to near the seal)

That was before Rimuru was named, and as such it means that Rimuru must have already been at least A rank from the moment he was born in terms of magicules count (which also makes sense with him being born with 2 Unique Skills).

Plus, while what I mentioned above indicates that Rimuru was at least A rank from his birth as a slime, there has never been a single indication or even hint of him having ever been B rank. So why is this written here?

By the way, this is also a problem on the Slime species page, in which it says "B~A+ (Rimuru)" in the Disaster Rank box in addition to the normal "E (for usual slimes)."

This should be corrected.

(oh, and the "Special A" rank is missing between the crossed A+ and S ranks on this page's Disaster Rank box)

The way I understood the story, Rimuru was born as a nameless Unique Slime with 2 Unique Skills. (I don't remember if the "Unique Slime thing was in the LN version, but I'm pretty sure it was in the WN, but regardless that part isn't as important as the other ones here).

At that point Rimuru was either A or A+ rank since he wasn't affected at all by Veldora's aura even when right in front of the seal. (Though, if it was Veldora not weakened/restrained by the seal, even a normal A rank would suffer a bit of suppression just from the aura, as seen in LN volumes 6-7-8 where if Veldora had released his aura in the city it would have insta killed all who were B rank and below while suppresing even normal A ranks(Hazard class).)

Then he was named by Veldora and rose all the way to Special A rank (Calamity class)

After eating the Orc Disaster Demon Lord Geld and Charybdis, Rimuru rose to S rank (Distater class / Demon Lord class).

After his True Demon Lord evolution, Rimuru rose much higher in S rank, but didn't reach Special S (SS, Catastrophe class). He only reached that point when he ate the Veldora (controlled by Rudra), which would be in the latest LN volume (15).
