Today, the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) franchise causes a furor thanks to an incredible image shared on the Twitter/X platform by the user @riorio_games where we can see the character of Rimuru and get an idea of what she would look like in the flesh. Fans of the anime were delighted with the image and filled the comments with compliments towards the cuteness of the cosplayer.
Rimuru from Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken gets real thanks to this cosplay
As you can see in the image who takes presence is the cute incarnation of the character of Rimuru, the blue hair that falls on her shoulders, as well as her t-shirt of the same color are two elements that we are already used to see in this character. It’s really captured, the essence of the Slime is his human form and we must say that the cosplay is great, you only need to take one look to say that “yes, it really is Rimuru from Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken”.
Another detail that is clearly well taken care of and represented in this cosplay is the lack of gender that this character has always presented and that is usually a topic of debate. As you can see in the picture, Rimuru is really shown as the Slime in the anime Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken without gender and with some feminine features that make her look like a little girl, also at some point in the series she looks like a cute teenager.
The representation that has the color blue is very important: in Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken most of the time Rimuru uses this color, in the picture it is shown in her already mentioned hair and clothes as well as in the stuffed animal of Slime that she carries under her arm, as well as in the field of flowers that adorn the beautiful landscape shown in the background of the image.
Let’s talk a little about the story of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken and its protagonist Rimuru who is practically the protagonist of this article. Satoru Mikami is a 37 year old working man and also the protagonist of this work, his life goes normally until one day when he was going to meet a friend is attacked by an assailant who ends up stabbing him.
Our protagonist while he is dying begins to hear a voice in his head, but he can not understand anything of what he says and ends up losing consciousness, when he wakes up he realizes that he has been reincarnated as a creature called Slime and also is located in a completely unknown world.
As Slime in Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, Satoru now begins to acquire several abilities that are unique, such as the ability to absorb other creatures and objects to gain abilities and transform himself. At first our protagonist has no name, that’s when a dragon that has been sealed and which Satoru feels sorry is why he says to become his friend, in gratitude the dragon who is called “Veldora Tempest” gives him a name and this is “Rimuru Tempest”.
Rimuru Tempest begins a new life in this world, making friends among humans, monsters and magical beings, little by little and thanks to the bonds of friendship that Rimuro has established, he manages to found the nation “Great Jura Tempest”, where different races coexist peacefully. Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is a story that takes place in a magical world, rich in characters as well as different creatures that you will meet, his character is charismatic and themes such as friendship, loyalty or even politics are present, all this mixed with interesting battles and a touch of comedy.
