Hope

Hope (希望) is the thirty-second episode of the anime adaptation That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and the eighth episode of the second season.

Synopsis
Rimuru learns about Clayman and the schemes of the Kingdom of Falmuth, but no matter how hard they wish for it, their fallen comrades and the peaceful lifestyle they enjoyed will never return. Rimuru's just about to give up when Eren tells them of a fairy tale that might offer a glimmer of hope. The probability of success is about 3%... but if Rimuru can manage to become a Demon Lord by taking in the souls of around 10,000 humans as nourishment, there just might be a chance at bringing their comrades back to life. As Falmuth's army of 20,000 men marches toward Tempest, Rimuru takes hold of that hope and decides to become a Demon Lord.
