General

 * Is Rimuru a boy or a girl?
 * Rimuru is not a boy or girl. Rimuru is sexless, no matter the form, which includes the black-mist modification that "look more like a boy/girl." Rimuru does, however, refer to himself as a man (男).


 * Why were my edits removed and/or deleted etc.?
 * It is usually due to your edits not meeting our requirements here, or that your sources are from light novels that are not yet officially translated by the company. Please ask the person who removed it for more inquiries. (If you think it was unjustified, please look for a moderator here.)

Anime

 * Is there Season 3?
 * As of October 31, 2021, there hasn't been any official announcement yet.


 * Does the OP and ED explain how the story progresses throughout the season?
 * No. When Season 1 was premiering, there was an interview with the producers of the anime adaptation. The producers mentioned that they wanted to create the OP and ED without any boundaries such as spoiling parts of the story from the future of tensura.


 * The third opening, or the first opening of Season 2, however, does cover contents that the anime had skipped so far and it's unknown whether the anime will properly cover that content in the future or not.


 * What is the Source Material of the Anime?
 * Contrary to the usual case of an Anime with a Light Novel origin, the source material of Tensura's Anime is the Manga. Both the Anime itself and the Anime homepage credit
 * 『転生したらスライムだった件』 (講談社「月刊少年シリウス」連載)
 * which means


 * "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" (published in Kodansha's 'Monthly Shounen Sirius').
 * Monthly Shounen Sirius is also the magazine that's often featured as the magazine that the characters in the anime itself are reading. In addition, the first name that is being credited for the "original work" is the mangaka Taiki Kawakami and only then the author Fuse.


 * The main producer of the Anime is also Kodansha, the Manga publisher, which is included in the copyright signature, although the LN publisher Micromagazine is also included in the Anime committee.


 * In reality, however, the Anime follows both the Manga and Light Novel simultaneously as it possesses elements of each that is not featured in the other version respectively.

Light Novel & Manga

 * Where can I buy the Light Novel & Manga?
 * If you can see this page that means you have access to the internet! 😊😊


 * I had just finished watching the anime. Where do I start in the Manga or Light Novel?
 * The anime cut out quite a bit of content from Volume 4 during Season 1 and ended just before the Epilogue of Volume 4 or Chapter 52 of the Manga, because of that Season 2 spends most of its early parts adapting skipped content from Volume 4 albeit in a rearranged timeline. Episode 24 of Season 2 is at Epilogue Chapter of Volume 6 of the LN or Chapter 86 of the Manga.


 * I had just finished reading the Web Novel. Where do I start in the Manga or Light Novel?
 * The Web Novel is pretty much a different story to the Light Novel. The characters and settings are similar. The entire series is completed, but the Light Novel is a much more refined compare to the Web Novel. If you don’t want to be confused, reading from the start of the Light Novel/Manga is more recommended.


 * Where do I start reading the Light Novel if I had just finished the manga?
 * As of September 16, 2021, the Manga has reached Light Novel Volume 7, but the order of events has been restructured a little so a precise continuation point cannot be given. Because of that it's recommended to read from the beginning of Light Novel Volume 7.


 * When will be the NEXT manga chapter release?
 * Every month on the 26th, sometimes on the 25th, the main manga and several spin-offs will be released in Japan. This includes, The Slime Diaries, Trinity in Tempest and tenchura!, although the Trinity Chapters are usually released earlier on NicoNico.


 * As of yet there are no official channels for individuals manga chapters to be released, so currently the only official English localization of the Manga is the Manga volume release.


 * When will be the NEXT Light Novel volume (and Manga volume) release?
 * There isn't a regularly scheduled date for the releases of any official new Japanese/English Light Novels volumes. These need to be looked up individually. The same applies to the Manga volumes as well.


 * Can someone please give me the link to read the Light Novel/Manga for free?
 * This is fandom where fans share their ideas and contribute to the wiki. This is not the place to be asking for pirated content. You can buy the official release and ask on reddit about it here.


 * Demon-related Questions?
 * From the perspective of native English speakers, the situation regarding the demon race and title can be more than a little confusing.


 * (As a race) Demon Peer (デモンロ—ド) i.e. "Daemon Lord".
 * (After evolving) Devil Lord (デヴィルロ—ド).
 * (Others) Demon Lord (魔神王) also デモンロ—ド "Demon King".
 * In the English language, the words 魔 and 惡魔 can be translated as "demon", where 惡魔 is more accurate. There is yet a word in English that accurately describes "魔" when used in 魔人(majin) and 魔王(maou).
