That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime episode 56 recap

The ruler of Lubelius, Louis, visits Luminous Valentine to relay the news of Hinata’s confrontation with Rimuru Tempest. He expresses his concern that the Seven Days Clergies may be involved in the unfolding events.

Gunther scolds the emperor for interrupting Luminous with petty concerns, but the Goddess instructs them to accompany her. In the meantime, the scene transitions to the battlefield, where Team Reborn dominates the Crusaders.

Surprisingly, Shion enters the fray and commands the Paladins to surrender or face death. However, Renard remains unfazed by Shion’s ultimatum and instructs his fighters to erect a Holy barrier around the “monster.”

Meanwhile, Rimuru Tempest comes face to face with Hinata Sakaguchi. Despite a few misunderstandings, they both realize the root of the miscommunication. However, they still choose to engage in a sword fight.

While Hinata’s subordinates hold off Rimuru’s executives, the two engage in a fierce battle. The episode then turns its attention back to Shion, who reveals her true identity as a Wicked Oni to Renard and Garde, beings above normal Oni.

Despite her repeated pleas for surrender, the Crusaders and Paladins refuse to back down. In response, Shion challenges them to use their strongest attack against her. If she emerges unscathed, they must concede defeat.

Despite Garde unleashing his most powerful fire elemental attack, Shion effortlessly slices through it. She also manages to shatter the Holy Barrier with her sword. Afterwards, Renard witnesses Hinata’s fight against Rimuru and comes to the realization that the Clergy’s claims were false and he should have joined Jura Tempest.

In the meantime, Hinata Sakaguchi showcases the capabilities of the blade bestowed upon her by the Seven Days Clergy. While Rimuru struggles to defend against her attacks, he eventually acquires the ability to predict Hinata’s movements.

Despite the intensity of the battle, Hinata Sakaguchi ultimately suggests ending it with a single decisive blow. Employing her strongest technique, Meltslash, she directs it towards Rimuru Tempest, only to see the Slime emerge unscathed. Hinata chuckles, aware that her opponent would skillfully evade the attack.

Despite the interruption of her blade lying on the ground, the Holy Church leader becomes aware of the Seven Days Clergy’s deceitful tactics.

Hinata jumps in front of Rimuru to protect the slime from the blade’s attack. As the episode concludes, the blade’s magic pierces through Hinata Sakaguchi.

What to Expect in Episode 57 of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime (Speculative)

Given the events of the previous episode, it is highly probable that the upcoming 57th episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime will reveal Hinata Sakaguchi’s fate. It is almost certain that she will survive, especially with Rimuru Tempest by her side.

The Slime may utilize advanced healing magic to assist Hinata, while Renard could also share his discussion with the Seven Days Clergy with Hinata and the rest of the group. This has the potential to partially resolve the tension between the Jura Tempest and the Lubelius.
