Yo whatup




You’d hate to read the LN then where Rudy reads the diary, it describes the contents of this episode essentially 1:1 and Rudy occasionally pauses between scenes. Maybe not knowing what comes next make this seem pointless but Rudy is very distraught during and after reading the diary and then ______ happens and turning point 4 really gets into swing


It’s setup for what comes next. Rudy has a choice to make and this episode was about what happened to Rudy when Man God just incidentally caused Rudy harm, not outright targeted him


Seriously, so tired of people making this stupid argument
I know for a fact that for every single letter I type I don’t have to re-read though this entire comment chain. That’s as simple as I’m able to make this comparison for you. If you still can’t understand I’m sorry for your family
You misunderstood. They output one single token and then re-ingest the entire input + that extra token to generate the next one. For token 3 that’s the entire input + token 1 and token 2
If the way you write text is to go and re-read the entire conversation from scratch, just to type another letter you are doing it wrong
There’s no pattern matching though. It takes a input set of tokens and generates a single output token. It adds that output token to the input set and ingests that set to output a single token, which it does the same with until you have your final output. That’s what LLMs do. That’s all they do


Java doesnt have value types or structs. You have primatives (booleans, integer types and float/double) and then everything else (even the uppercase primative types like Boolean) are reference types, IE on the heap. For stuff that plays with pointers you generally just call into native code, get back a long (the pointer to whatever you just allocated) and you call into native code to do stuff with the pointer. Native code can make a proper java object but it’s involved and has all the same cons as allocating one in Java land.
Supposedly records (a pseudo struct) might get stronger optimization options (IE put on the stack) but fundementaly reference types are just pointers and if you get an object via constructor or parameter the language must support you putting it in global state


Java doesnt have aliases. You can do glob imports of a particular package (IE all the classes) and you can statically glob import all the static functions in a class but uh yeah that’s it


Oh shit we here already huh? Gotta catch back up cause oh boy is this good


Rimuru to put it simply has an effect on people that makes them follow him and believe in him, but also Chloe constantly brings up Rimuru and is very seriously in love with him which Raphael doesn’t like so it’s not like she’s just trusting this guy she hasn’t thought about in a couple centuries


Chloe was an incomplete summon like the other kids. She shows up long after Leon (I forget but I think he just gets isekaid like Hinata). Like she said to Hinata her future powers came to her.
From what I recall Chloe and Leon are not actually related but she looked up to him and he’s a huge siscon which is why he’s been looking for her so intensely.
There is some bootstrap paradox but we never get into that in the story. Chloe has made an unknown amount of loops and only remembers the most recent loop in addition to her “current” loop. IE right now she has memories of the last loop (which we saw as werid flashbacks with Rimuru dying) and the one where Hinata dies while Rimuru is still alive (the one we watched in the actual anime). To spoil a bit the goal right now for Chloe is to do the same things she did last loop so history is the same leading up to Hinatas death.
Some spoilers about how the Tensura world works. So basically the world Rimuru is currently in is the “Central World” the first world Veldanava created. Yes first, Veldanava created many worlds, such as Rimurus original world and many more. All of these worlds exist in the same universe, at the same time but time is not constant. IE some worlds are “in the future” and other worlds are “in the past”. Chloes power is strictly jumping backwards (involuntarily when Hinata dies) on the “global timline” that is to say no new reality is created or hopped to.
We don’t know where the time travel power initially comes from but it’s likely Chloe herself created it after Hinata died the first time as it’s a Unique skill. The real bootstrap paradox imo is the mask since Chloe got it from Rimuru who gets it from Shizu who gets it from Chloe… also worth mentioning that Rimuru perfectly replicated it which is insane and is what got Diablo to become Rimurus subordinate


The Light Novel so far hasn’t had any more time travel mess since this arc, however the Web Novel does have one more instance right near the end which looks like the LN will end up following


Great sage got its voice from the voice of the world. It wasn’t even supposed to have a voice but Rimuru couldn’t understand it so after days it managed to get voice perms. Raphael inherited voice perms but noticeably sounds a bit more human which is significant since Raphael also isn’t supposed to be able to talk.


Yeah, you wouldn’t. The anime skipped their introduction though they showed up in Slime Diaries. All of Rimurus honey comes from Apito while Zegion defends her as well as the Treants. Though those of course are now inside the Dungeon.
Yes. It’s a story about putting Subaru into situations where the only path forward is self improvement. Subaru can fight and struggle to stay the same but to move forward he must improve. In the Sanctuary arc Subaru repeatedly failed to solve all the problems himself. There’s a what if story where he goes through with the contract with Echidna and we’re shown what would have happened if Subaru gave into his Greed, essentially ruining his relationships with all his friends, while still “saving” them. He got everything he wanted while losing what was most important.
Such a good episode for such an amazing season. I see why the LN readers were calling this the best arc so far. There’s a good chance I’ll be reading the LN now cause I cannot wait even a year for season 5
