Charybdis (暴風大妖渦) is the nineteenth episode of the anime adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Synopsis
Assisted by 100 Pegasus Knights from Dwargon, Rimuru's forces destroy the Megalodons and attempt to destroy Charybdis with a full-scale attack, but fail. Rimuru then battles Charybdis personally, only to discover it is possessing Phobio, and its true target is Milim. By Rimuru's request, Milim defeats Charybdis while sparing Phobio's life. After the battle, Phobio apologizes for all the trouble he caused, and his master, the Demon Lord Carrion, establishes a non-aggression pact with Jura Tempest. Rimuru and the others finally discover that all the troubles they had faced recently were caused by Clayman and his harlequin allies.

Summary
Benimaru opens the attack on Charybdis' familiars with a Hell Flare; even though Benimaru does manage to burn it to a crisp, it is still alive. Great Sage attributes it to Charybdis's intrinsic skill, Magic Jamming. Rimuru commands their forces to stick to the plan, divide the enemy up and strike. Geld successfully baits one into ground combat and his subordinates follow up with a failed attack, luckily Gabiru follows up with a save.

Elsewhere, Dwargon's Pegasus knights are fighting one of the megalodons while Hakurou coordinates Gobta's Goblin Riders to fight a second. Souei's forces in the meantime successfully corral and turn the fly sharks against each other. Milim once again asks to join in on the fighting, though Rimuru tells her not to, even successfully weathering her puppy dog eyes in the process.

Shion and Ranga team up to take flight and wipe out the last of the Megalodons, leaving only Charybdis left to confront. Several of Rimuru's subordinates jump onto the airborne leviathan while others attack at range. Although "Great Sage" tries to provide information on it, Rimuru tells it to be quiet unless it can tell them how to defeat it. Charybdis soon busts out its offensive power, blasting its scales off of itself and using them to launch an attack against Rimuru's forces.

Though Ranga, Souei, and Shion prepare a suicide charge against Charybdis, Rimuru stops them, revealing their new ability, Gluttony. The skill is a fusion of his Predator and Geld I's Starved that immediately devoured all of the projectile scales. As Charybdis prepares a second volley of Tempest Scales, Rimuru orders everyone to fall back, regroup and ready a second strike.

After nearly an entire day of continuously striking Charybdis, all of Rimuru's forces are badly injured and exhausted while the dragon in question is only about 30% damaged. However, as Rimuru is flying by, theh hear it cursing Milim. Realizing this has nothing to do with them, Veldora, or the Jura Tempest Federation, Rimuru goes to get Milim to finish the beast off.

Milim immediately deduces that Charybdis has taken Phobio as a host, so Rimuru asks that she avoid killing Carrion's envoy. Once freed of the Charybdis's control, Rimuru separates its core from Phobio's body. Once awake, and once he stops apologizing, Phobio explains that he got the information on Charybdis's location from two clowns named Tear and Footman.

Gabiru, Treyni, and Benimaru all confirm that they've had run-ins with the Moderate Harlequin Alliance, in all cases they were working with Gelmud during the Orc Lord Incident. Based on their information Rimuru concludes the group is a mysterious jack of all trades group that gets others to do their dirty work for them towards an as of yet unknown goal.

Milim suspects that Clayman is responsible for the Clowns actions. Regardless, Phobio blames only himself for his actions and gladly throws himself at Rimuru's mercy. Neither the Slime, nor Milim, however, wish to exact vengeance. However, Carrion, who has been retrieved by Phobio's subordinates when they learned what he intended to do, arrives on scene and slams Phobio into the ground as an apology to Rimuru.

Accepting the Demon Lord's apology, Rimuru asks for a nonaggression and trade pact with Carrion, who accepts as he carries the now once again heavily wounded Phobio off through a teleportation spell. Having run out of things threatening them that evening, Rimuru tells their subordinates they can all go home now.
