Attack of the Ogres

Attack of the Ogres (の襲撃) is the ninth episode of the anime adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Synopsis
Rimuru and the Goblins' village is developing nicely. The Dwarves are building all kinds of houses and furniture, and the local Goblin Lords have appointed Rigurd as the Goblin King. As Rimuru watches everything comes together, they decide to return to the cave and test the skills received from Shizu. While there, Rimuru receives a request for help from Ranga through Thought Communication, and they rush back to find their friends facing six Ogres. One of them orders Rimuru to "reveal your true identity!". What is going on in the Great Forest of Jura?

Plot
Despite the minor setback of Ifrit's attack, the Goblin village continues to build and rebuild on schedule, while Rigurd and his Goblin lords have worked out the finer details of governing even without Rimuru giving anyone orders. This works out for Rimuru as they've been experimenting with the new abilities obtained from eating Ifrit and Shizu.

For starters, Rimuru has repaired Shizu's Anti-Magic Mask that got damaged during the incident with Ifrit, Rimuru also confirms their human form works exactly like a normal human body, although it's senses are slightly duller when compared to using Magic Sense. As a makeshift mirror, Rimuru spawns a clone and confirms the appearance of their human form.

Rimuru confirms that they look like a more androgynous Shizu, lacking any sort of defining sexual characteristics. The body is that of a childs due to the limited mass of their original physical body. Furthermore, the black mist mimicry occasionally produces is magicules making up for the difference in mass. The appearance can be altered to Rimuru's liking, with it's size and overall appearance being within their complete control. Rimuru also confirms that their new form has a functioning sense of taste and has ordered Rigurd to prepare a feast.

On their way out of the village, Rimuru also confirms that a huge number of magical beasts are moving through the forest, possibly due to a change in the environment, so they'll have plenty of meat for the future. Rimuru takes the liberty of training the more dangerous of their abilities inside of the Sealed Cave, where they figure they won't hurt anyone. Rimuru confirms the status of Shizu's unique skill, Degenerate, which allows them to fuse and seperate anythinf at will, even fusing the effects of several skills to earn new skills.

Rimuru and Great Sage continue to tinker with combining the effects of skills, earning powerful new skills such as Black Flame, a skill that produces a highly destructive mass of black plasma, and Black Thunder, an enhanced version of Black Lightning that cen be completely controlled by the user. Rimuru also confirms the function of the Anti-Magic Mask to suppress magical power, thus while wearing it, they appear to be a completely normal human. However, before they can experiment further, Rimuru receives an emergency request for aid from Ranga via Thought Communication.

Ranga's hunting party has come under attack by a group of six Ogres. Most of the members of the party has been put to sleep by the Ogre Princess and those who are still able to fight, Ranga, Rigur, and Gobta have only received minor injuries. Though Rimuru initially wants to settle the matter peacefully with the Ogres, their leader will have none of it.

By process of elimination, they have determined that Rimuru is the only one who could be responsible for the Orc army that attacked their village. Their reason is based on account of the fact that they are in command of a group of monsters on a scale similar to the orcish army and the precense of a mask. Rimuru commands Ranga to capture the Ogre Princess, while they focuses on dealing with the others.

Rimuru incapacitates the Hammer Wielding Ogre using Paralysis Breath and the Female warrior Ogre by tying her up with Sticky Steel Thread. He then deflects the other sword wielding Ogre with Body Armor and knocks him out with a counter punch, while Ranga succeeds in capturing the Princess. The eldest among the Ogres identifies each of the monsters the skills came from and, in the process, confirming himself as the most dangerous among the Ogres.

Rimuru attempts another attempt at a peaceful resolution through intimidation him, but the revelation of Rimuru's immense power only serves to make them more resolved. The Ogre Elder takes the opportunity to sneak up on and try to decapitate Rimuru, though only succeeds in cutting off one of their arms. Rimuru then demonstrates their freshly acquired Ultraspeed Regeneration by healing their severed arm in an instant. The young master of the ogres is baffled by Rimuru's unusually powerful regeneration and proceeds to unleash a full-power Ogre Flame attack.

Rimuru, being in possession of Thermal Fluctuation Nullification as well as the Anti-Magic Mask, remained completely unphased in the face of the flames, taunting the young leader.

Deciding to take things somewhat seriously, Rimuru removes the mask and produces a giant mass of Black Flame and Black Thunder. The Ogre Princess, however, gets between them and reveals the misunderstanding, as she has determined that Rimuru is not the leader of the Orc army that attacked them. Had that individual had this much power, they would have no need to use Orcs. She's also determined that the mask they're wearing is much different than the Majin who was alongside the Orc army, whereas Rimuru's mask seals aura, the one the Majin was wearing didn't.

Now that the Ogres have calmed down, Rimuru reabsorbs their attack and reveals their true slimy nature before leading both groups back to the village to determine who is responsible for the army of violent thugs that attacked the Ogre's village, confirming that none of the Ogre's have names while they feast on grilled meat.
