Battle at the Goblin Village ｢ゴブリン村での戦い, goburin mura de notatakai｣ is the third episode of the anime adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.
Synopsis[]
After leaving the cave, Rimuru encounters a village of Goblins under attack by a clan of direwolves. Caught in the heat of the moment, Rimuru agrees to help the Goblins in their battle. That night, the Direwolves arrive to try to take over as the new rulers of the Jura Forest![1]
Summary[]
As the first step to helping the Goblins fend off the Tempest Wolves, Rimuru uses the Hipokute Grass potions they've been creating to heal all of the injured goblins, bringing their fighting forces back up to the near peak. Secondly, Rimuru has the goblins dismantle their homes and build fences that were then reinforced using the Sticky and Steel threads obtained from the black spider in the cave, building traps out of the nearly invisible thread.
Rimuru VS Direwolf Boss
When the Wolves arrive, they get caught in Rimuru's wire traps, while the goblins hit them with crude bows and arrows. The Direwolf Boss is undeterred and charges in, getting caught up in Rimuru's wire trap. Rimuru gives the Boss one chance to turn back and run, and when he refuses, Rimuru decapitates him using Water Blade.
With the death of the enemy leader, Rimuru devours the former boss's corpse and takes on his form. In a new wolven form, Rimuru gives the surviving wolves the option of submission, retreating, or death. While it initially seems like the other wolves intend to keep fighting, they ultimately submit to Rimuru. The next morning, Rimuru, who realizes that they're now responsible for now not one but two groups of monsters, decides to take measures to make sure they get along.
Union of Monsters
As a start, realizing that there are nearly proportionate number of goblins and wolves, has them pair up and dubs them Goblin Riders. Then Rimuru encounters the second issue, none of them have names.
Rimuru decides to come up with a name for each and every one of them for the sake of personal convenience. And, in the honor of the dead Rigur, his brother is similarly named Rigur, while the chief is named Rigurd.
When the time comes to name the wolfs, in spite of the chief insisting that Rimuru takes a break, Rimuru simply takes their family name of Tempest and wolves racial name of Fang, and dubs the new leader of the pack Ranga.
Suddenly Rimuru's body collapses and enters a low activity mode, with Great Sage informing them that too much magical power has been expended.
Rigurd's Drastic Transformation, Goblin Evolution
When Rimuru awakens, they see an unfamiliar young lady watching over their body. Rigurd, now in a much bigger and much stronger body in the form of a Hobgoblin, comes in and explains that they've evolved thanks to Rimuru naming them. Likewise, Ranga comes in and explains that because of the name Rimuru gave him, they've evolved into Tempest Wolves. causing Rimuru to realize they've made a new problem.
Because the goblins and wolves are bigger than before, their previous housing, feeding, and clothing methods are now need replanning. As a start Rimuru assigns them into groups to hunt and gather food, thus averting one crisis for the time being.
Consulting with Rigurd, Rimuru decides that a party of Goblin riders will accompany them to Dwargon in order to barter for assistance from the dwarves living there.
