Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Episode 20 (Episode review)

[SPOILER ALERT]
Things have settled down after Charybdis and the town celebrates with a feast. Milim leaves the town to work assuring that she will tell the other demon lords to keep hands off her buds Rimaru's business. That night as Rimuru is in tears from seeing Shizu's regret of not being able to save and protect the other-world summoned children she sheltered and taught. From here things escalate and in a way goes back to the main storyline where Rimaru's goal is Shizu's will of getting revenge on Demon Lord Leon and protect the 5 children, her former students. Rimaru leaves the town with Ranga by his side to go to the school where Shizu taught in the kingdom of Ingrassia.


Rimuru meets Yuuki, Shizu former student that now is the headmaster of the School of Freedom that Shizu founded, immediately views Rimuru as a threat and attacks but Rimuru gains his trust with the phrase "I'm not a bad slime" from a game in the other world. They quickly bond over games and manga from the real world. He reveals that there might be a possibility to return to the other world but Rimuru states that he's happy with where he's at now and would rather live happily with the friends he's gained. Yuuki tells Rimuru about the children brought from the other world and their lifespans as the summons.


Rimuru decides to become a teacher for the five students that Shizu taught. We are introduced to the five and we see some foreshadowing as the last student Chloe is introduced Veldora from inside Rimuru reacts. Although it's a bit sudden that Rimuru decides to teach these children and his plans are somewhat unclear there seems to be some build up for what's likely to happen in the future. With the ending approaching in the next five episodes, a lot is likely to happen. This episode hints at that with Rimuru as a teacher for the five, the mentioning of the student that left Shizu, Hinata, and the quick frame of Veldora that's been sleeping inside Rimuru since the beginning of this series. From seeing Veldora I assume that he has a connection to one of the children or is close to regaining his full powers, or even both.

What will Rimuru teach these children? Will he bring them to the town Rimuru? How will Veldora appear? Who is Hinata Sakaguchi? Hoping for answers in the upcoming episodes I also feel like meeting demon lord Leon seems far away but also not with the quick pace of Tensura. There are a lot of unanswered questions, unresolved issues and hints at other characters, that isn't likely to be resolved so fast so I also hope for another season. There's a lot of potential with the series with the vast world, the development of the Jura Tempest federation and unexplored places and races. Also with the adaption material of 10 volumes of manga and 13 volumes of light novel, I hope for a sequel.
