Trivia[]
- There was a certain wordplay that got lost in translation, involving this skill:
- Up until the Orc Disaster battle, Rimuru and Great Sage called the skill Predator 「捕食者, hoshoku-sha」, so when the Light Novel chapter/manga chapter/anime episode titled Devourer of All 「全てを喰らう者, subete o kurau mono」 came around, the first assumption was that the title was referring to Orc Disaster Geld due to how ominous and wicked it sounds. However, when Rimuru changed the way he called the skill, referring to it as Predator 「捕食者, kurau mono」 instead, it revealed that the title of the chapter/episode was, in fact, referring to Rimuru himself as the "Devourer of All."
