Meggigdo is actually a skill that uses little energy as he's just using water droplets to magnify the sun. In the light novel it describes it well as u literally can't see it because it's a laser.
Oh that’s how it worked? I thought he was shooting them with high speed bullets of slime which were spawning from the larger ones in the sky. But yes, concentrated sunlight blasts makes more sense.
@@robbieking4070 This also gets around the anti-magic field he created. Since it is not really magic at all. The only magic used is a small amount to make the spheres hover and a larger amount outside of the field to focus the sun.
It was so good the blood shed bit the manga I really liked how we got to see the view of one of the soldiers that weren't evil being killed and calling Rimuru god himself and the light novel just even more brutal turning your enemy into flesh monsters and making them eat each other .
The anime makes the deaths quick and painless. in the light novel, Rimuru intentionally avoided outright killing some soldiers - piercing vital organs and severing limbs in order for the victims to bleed out.
The wounds are immediately cautarized because of the light rays so they can't bleed out. It was for -enjoying their screams- causing more panic to further break the command chain and avoid mass evacuation I think.
One of his strongest spells? He just invented it on the spot. Also, the Megiddo spell made lens using water, concentrating the sunlight into super hot beams to massacre the farmus army
@@omega9216 it would be very taxing for anyone else though. Suspending the water would be easy enough, but to accurately shape the water into several lens so that the reflect/refract in a way that each lens aims at an enemy at once would require some serious, intense concentration.

cut content: When Shogo broke Geld's shield, Geld just brought out another one, and that was what Shogo called "dirty" in the LN, and well, whether that's dirty or not might be up for debate, but it's probably the biggest fuck you you can get in that situation, besides getting absolutely owned after killing your teammate for a level up :D the blond guy at the end who talked with Razen(sorry, can't remember his name) is an otherworlder as well, and his skill allows him to attain skills from comrades who fall in front of him, but only a limited amount, hence they wanted him to get the abilities of the other otherworlders-that's what they were talking about, when they said it was a shame they couldn't pass those abilities down to him
It is theorized that the brain keeps working 10 seconds after blood circulation is cut, if time perception with his ability is 300x faster, that means he experienced 300x10=3000sec/50min worth of reflection. As he said, his ability wasn't turning off, he was stuck.
It was not so much that the monsters were holding back, but the two magic barriers were weakening them severely. The antimagic barrier cut off the ability to cast magic, and the holy field barrier locked their skills and drained their strength.
no it mostly was them holding back while the barrier were crippling the could still fight around it for the most part it was to the point shion put her sword down shuna told her she will need it to fight the humans but since rimuru ordered not to hurt humans shion said she wasnt allowed to.
The fact that Meggido is a water spell... Create lenses with water and focus sunlight into laser beams and aim them for clean headshots. Literally like frying ants with a magnifying glass.
I didn’t really get that when I read the manga since water drop like objects came down to the ground levels for the soldiers to question if they were water droplets. So I assumed those drops moved really quickly and pierced though the soldiers like bullets.
Geld and all of the other Orc eat to gain power, but they were technically forced because of the Starved curse, where they even eat their kind. But Geld despises that Shogo kills his own “companion” just for his selfish benefit. He was just about to mercifully kill him, but now after what Shogo did to Kirara, he just took advantage of Shogo’s new regeneration skill. (8:40) Literally beating him close to death but letting him regenerate to continue suffering from the continuous beatings.
Oh yes, after the build up of the previous 3 episodes this was soo good. there were 2 reasons for why they lost in the town so soundly while dominating like this now. 1. The barrier Benimaru and co destroyed this episode. While it is a weaker version of what Hinata used against Rimuru in the beginning, it is still a high grade spell designed to weaken and neutralize monsters. 2. The handicap with not killing Humans. We seen how powerful these guys can be during the fight with the orcs, so having to restrain their power to not accidently kill humans especially in town were heavy shackles for them to fight. Also the Manga and Novel especially Megiddo is much more brutal as Rimuru deliberately targets legs and non immediately lethal spots, so they have time to scream and writhe in pain, for the psychological effect, the attacks also come in waves and is not constant, so you can imagine the fear and suffering of the soldiers.. But as satisfying as that was I honestly prefer this version of Megiddo, this feels much more fitting to be called wrath of god. No cruelty, no rage just and unstoppable, unforgiving and unescapable reaping of life. With the name Megiddo being a biblical reference -the hebrew name for the place in greek called Armageddon - this felt like you would imagine the Angel of Death going through Egypt in the old testament.
Fun fact, the Geld we know is just as powerful as the Geld Rimuru fought, just without the Starved skill. He's basically a sane Orc Lord. I believe he actually may have even been as powerful as the Orc Disaster. His Chaos Eater also does light spiritual damage causing even the target's soul to slowly corrode. Another thing to keep in mind is that Gabil despite how he acts is still an incredibly powerful monster at a B rank alone. With his Vortex Spear he's likely more of a conservative A- to B+. In this word B ranked adventurers are treated almost like heroes, and A rank are incredibly rare so that gives you an idea of just how powerful Gabil and his team is. Also fun fact, assuming a human head can remain conscious even 10 seconds after death (a cursory search claims some brain waves can be detected even after 30 minutes, dunno if it's true so I'm going with a very conservative 10 seconds before the lack of fresh blood to the brain causes black out) then that guy that had his head cut off experienced dying for 50 minutes. If the human brain can remain conscious even longer then his suffering increases rapidly. Meggido is actually a special type of magic known as "physics magic" which uses actual physics to cause damage. It uses Spirit Magic which isn't affected by anti-magic barrier, and Great Sage uses it's incredible processing power to calculate how to convert the beams of sunlight condensed and refracted by the sun; the sun really is a deadly laser. He was actually inspired to create the spell by Hinata's Disintegration spell. Razen's line "Next to my Reincarnation, Possession is mere child's play" should be "next to my *master's* Reincarnation, Possessions is mere child's play". I believe the anime translation was incorrect since the latter version appeared in the LN.
I think the translators either did an oopsie or deliberately avoided the master line. Personally, I feel like it was an oopsie, since both LN and WN have the master line. And from what I remember, after this point LN and WN start to diverge from one another. For example, the WalpurgisNacht was resolved way faster in one case while the manga, which adapts the other one, drags it out more.
The humans thought the monsters needed help, Youm, to beat an Orc Lord. The Orc Lord actually evolved up to the next tier Orc disaster before Rimuru beat it. Then he absorbed Charybdis. The humans are doing a "What the hell is Namek?" skit in this epsiode.
A few explantions in light novels are missiong from anime. Gobta´s scabard is magic powered Railgun or Coilgun (converts magic power to magnetic field that launches projectile. 1st used by Gobta to oneshot Knight Spider back in season 1).
They mistranslated Razens line about posession, what he says is "next to my Masters reincarnation, posession is mere childs play". That guy becomes important after this current arc concludes.
@@Beuwucakes Oh you're right! I thought it was a different character, but it is indeed Gadora. I just forgot that name since he isn't mentioned at all in the next 5 books. Well I assume he's gonna be important at *some* point so my original comment is vague enough to still be correct.
@@Beuwucakes When does that start? Judging by how things are moving I assume at least the initial stages of that appear during volume 11. Which comes out in like 2 months. *sigh*
I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Chapter 65.5 of the manga, it won't spoil anything but it will give you a different perspective of the battle, especially in regards to one of the scenes in the episode. Which I'm sad that they did not include in the anime.
dude! the main reason they lost the fight witin tempest, was because there were two overpowered bebuff-barriers around them, one deactivated just about all magic, and the other specifically weakening monsters
Meggido is pure great sage flex. He made giant fucking water lenses in the atmosphere and focused light into hundreds of individual beams and then proceeded to target them all precisely simultaneously.
"You could take entire kingdoms out like this" well yes. But actually no. While Megiddo is certainly a strong spell and one of the most satisfying ones in the entire show, it does come with a lot of limitations, due to mainly beeing built around the idea of efficiency. While the beams of light it emits are powerfull, (and not technically magical in nature therefore not hindered by magical barriers) they are stopped by mildy thick physical barriers. Given enough time, they could probably pierce a sheet of metal, but if you actually holed yourself up behind castle walls, they'd unlikely be able to get to you fast enough. Which brings us to the next problem, Megiddo's biggest strength is "surprise" (which is why Rimuru rarely uses it) It's a brilliant spell, able to achieve much power with little magical energy put into, but that actually makes it easy to counter for someone who has figured out how the spell works. A few examples given in the light novel would be: Casting a heatspell to evaporate the moisture in the air Megiddo would need to form the lenses, putting up a smoke or dustscreen to block the light or simply putting up your own reflective water spell to disrupt the beams. Not to mention that many of the more powerfull people in this world have some form of "natural element resistance" meaning that while rimuru can make short work of most armies, this spell would do nothing more than mildly annoy an opponent at demonlord or saint level.
@@dustindiaz9493 Pretty much. Anything that survives Megiddo will be a threat big enough to be handled by Rimurus companions. And anything that survives that is a threat big enough for Rimuru himself to step in
6:01 "Just make his head alive and make him just sit somewhere" Ironically enough, that's exactly what he did. Hakuro kept going faster so that he'd focus his "Eye" more and more so that a 'second' was extended some 400+ times. He literally spent a mini eternity as a severed head, specifically so he could "reflect" on his actions and such that lead to that moment. Just Hakuro being low-key an absolute savage. As for the other guy killing his 'friend', his Unique Skill, Berserker, makes him stronger by killing humans, and killing his 'friend' for power managed to get him the Survivor skill. As for Survivor not really mattering...well, yeah, kinda. I mean, just because you heal from the attack, doesn't change the fact that you're getting attacked, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't even come with a 'Nullify Pain' skill like what Rimuru got when reincarnating back in Season 1. They took down the human's barrier, cause that was hurting them by existing, but on the other hand, the existence of that barrier prevented the souls of their fallen friends from dissipating. Then, Shuna and the other one (sorry, I'm bad with names, so I forget her's at the moment) cast a new barrier; no negative effects, while still keeping the souls contained. Speaking of 'savage', that ending scene when Shogo got killed; in the other media, the other two had their whole conversation about 'using' the three Otherworlders _before_ killing Shogo, so he hears all of that and starts screaming about how that's not how it goes, how the strong kill the weak and such and such. Razen's response? "You're right, it is the strong that trample over the weak. However, you seem to have mistaken something: *you* are among the weak who will be trampled upon." Ded.
you're missing the weakening barriers from before ... there where 3 barriers in total: - the prison field (the pyramid formed barrier) - hinders monsters from fleeing and weakens them a little bit - the anti magic field from myulan - weakens all magic, therefore also magical lifeforms as monsters - the barrier hinata casted around rimuru - disturbing the connection rimuru has to the monsters named by him, therefore weaken them somewhat on emotional/moral level the soldiers and the three otherworlders only knew about there prison field, that's why they unerestimated them at the end as they didn't know to what extend they where weakened before by the other two barriers
A bit of context for the Megiddo move Rimuru used; Rimuru already cast an anti-magic barrier on the whole camp so that nothing could intervene. Megiddo itself isn't a spell, but rather water droplet manipulation that concentrates natural sunlight to extreme precision (like an ultra magnifying loop), literally turning the sunlight into beams of laser which are then targeted at people in the camp. It uses very little of his energy since it isn't a magicule spell, and its effectiveness isn't relying on non-physical elements that would be hindered or weakened by the anti-magic barrier. Basically, Rimuru is doing a scaled up equivalent of frying ants with a magnifier.
the anti-magic barrier didn't do much, it was the holy field used by the western saint's church that did 90% of the damage to the monsters inside tempest!
14:02 Are they bad people? The manga had a whole chapter on this but the anime never went into it (instead opting for duplicate cgi knights). How many of those people were just an average father or son who happened to serve in the army of Falmuth. How many of them were just following orders or felt that they had no choice to go and fight for their country. I wish the anime adapted chapter 65.5
Just a little something to give some perspective to Kyoya, the guy that Hakuro decapitated Just 20 seconds 300 times slowed is equivalent to 1h and 40 minutes Some studies have shown brain activities so much as 30 minutes after the heart has stopped beating That means good old Kyoya may have "lived" up to 150 hours, aka about 6 full days, as a head, with what was probably a terrible pain and nothing to do beside reflecting on what happened. Oh boy.
Kyoya's ability is double edge sword. His mind is 300× faster, so everything appears 300x slower in his sense. Imagine the pain of a sword super slowly cutting through his neck , and even beheaded, a normal human has still brain activities for a couple of seconds, which is a couple of minutes in kyoyas perspective.
You mean few dozen seconds top, before your head shuts off. French were experimenting a lot when they were in guillotine spree. Instructing people to blink or watching eyes to react to movement/light.
In the manga, we got a few panels about one of the soldiers and how he is an atheist. Then he was one of the last soldiers killed and looked up at Rimaru, his last thought being, "I wish I could've told my kids that god was surprisingly childlike". Rimaru got an atheist to think he was god.
According to the web novel MEGIDDO is a physics magic that utilizes thousands of water droplets suspended at high altitude to focus and converge sunlight into fine lasers
I really liked Geld here. He's all plodding and slow and tanking damage and then this sudden completely unexpected burst of speed. Also seeing how powerful Gobta and Rigurd actually are. Even the Gabiru fanclub was allowed to show off, showing they can do more than chanting and dancing. ^^ Why they lost in the first place was mainly because they were inside a barrier that sapped their very life-force and prevented them from using any magic... on top of the order not to hurt Humans. But now they are outside the barrier and able to bring their full power to bear. To me it looks like Megiddo isn't using much power, because it's creating lenses to concentrate sunlight into essentially lasers and he's only controlling the lenses and the small droplets he uses to redirect the lasers. It probably takes a whole lot of concentration, but probably little power compared to the black flames. Which makes it potentially hard to use, but incredibly efficient. If it barely uses magic power, it would also explain why it works so perfectly inside an anti-magic barrier.
many have pointed these facts, but they are dispersed so here is a summary of Meggido - The spell was made just recently for Rimuru to end Farmas army, and it is only really usable by Rimuru, the calculations needed for its execution are imposible to be done by preatty much anyone else unless they have something like Great Sage - Its brutal agains fodder but not that useful against people over a certain point of strength, still a relatibly high point but against things like Charibdys or Hinata and those above is useless, infact, I think most fighting personel in Tempest can survive it - the spell is actually a Spirit Magic that has extreamly low magic comsumpion creating lenses of water to focus the sun rays into concetrated lasers, then dropplets of water to redirect this lasers to their target, so it cant be stopped by anti magic barriers since its a phisical event in itself (that all is extreamly important in Tensura and permeates a LOT of things) note, correct me if it wrong, but I remember another benefit of Spirit Magic being that it can be used in Anti Magic barrier due to its nature, hence why Rimuru choose it for this killer combo, since he still needed to control the dropplets of water inside the anti magic barrier added note to Rimuru, this I didnt know until recently, the reason Great Sage and Predator/Gluttony is as effective as it is is thanks to Rimuru machinating a way to cincurvent a limitation inherent to both skills, basically he found and made a unique conection between the 2 skills that compensated for the others lack and thus both became way more OP than originally intended, basically its limitation are that Great Sage can obtain info an anything as long as you are able to comprehend it first, and also things like tough acceletation an parallel processing, but the main problem is what is needed to make Great Sage activate in recognition of this activation requirement, a limit originally set on it, but Predator had the ability to assimilate and comprehend basically anything, but this actually takes a lot of time and one mental effort in doing so, so, I guess you can see what he did here, by linking Predators ability to imput and analize whats devoured into Great Sage info acces with its tough acceleration, this can be done imediatly, not only that, but by having it done in the parallel process it never takes any direct atention or concentration of Rimuru to do so, a killer combo actually
You also have to remember that besides the rule rimuru gave they were weakened by the barrier , so they didn’t have their full power back then either .
The reason the Falmuth soldiers were able to slaughter so many and destroy so much wasn't only due to Rimuru's command not to kill humans. That would only have limited the monsters offensively. Under normal circumstances, the defenses and skills of the people of Rimuru would have prevented anything significantly bad from happening. But it was not normal circumstances. Due to the barriers around the city, the monsters only had limited access to their magicules, making them far weaker than normal. So with a bound offense and weakened defense, the city of Rimuru was sacked.
Revenge bas never tasted SO sweet! Also the other reason why Rimuru's gang couldn't go all out was because of the barrier that weakens monsters which the enemy created.
You also forgot the reason they lost to the 2 otherworlders inside Tempest was due to the barrier that weakens monsters, so they weren't fighting even close to their full strength...
Also don't forget, the first Time they were being attacked there was a barrier which basically nullifyed a lot of their skills and powers, I believe If this wouldn't have been the case, they still would have won, even without going all out. And I was so happy when Rimuru just killed them, they totally deserved it, I don't feel any guilt.
Megido use the energy of sun so it goes with the speed of light and no song so no one will notice what is happening unless he is faster than speed of light and the temperature is same as the sun
Actually it was more the Church's purification field barrier thing that was the monsters biggest crippler and why they took so much damage. Despite how he looked? What the hell kinda dis was that? Its not like he looked like an evil pervert, Gobzo looked dopey if anything. When Hakurou said his movements should be catching up to your senses now it meant that little bastard had already been beheaded. Regeneration doesnt mean it doesnt hurt when someone is breaking your bone and corroding your flesh. Painless insta kills yes but in a area holding 20k people watching tens and hundreds of other soldiers dropping all around them... fucking terrifying for the still living.
as much as I enjoy your reactions, you do seem to misinterpret or not notice certain things. the pact against killing humans isn't what caused them to lose in the first place. they lost because the humans had weakened them to the point they'd be at a disadvantage. I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out as I don't read through the comments and I also recently started watching your content. but great stuff regardless
Meggigdo is actually a skill that uses little energy as he's just using water droplets to magnify the sun. In the light novel it describes it well as u literally can't see it because it's a laser.
Yup I heard someone explain that "Meggido" is more akin to a Laser attack and as such won't work in low light conditions.
Oh that’s how it worked? I thought he was shooting them with high speed bullets of slime which were spawning from the larger ones in the sky. But yes, concentrated sunlight blasts makes more sense.
@@robbieking4070 This also gets around the anti-magic field he created. Since it is not really magic at all.
The only magic used is a small amount to make the spheres hover and a larger amount outside of the field to focus the sun.
You have no idea how satisfying this Revenge was in the light novel and manga

@@Beuwucakes When does that start? Judging by how things are moving I assume at least the initial stages of that appear during volume 11. Which comes out in like 2 months. *sigh*
I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Chapter 65.5 of the manga, it won't spoil anything but it will give you a different perspective of the battle, especially in regards to one of the scenes in the episode.
Which I'm sad that they did not include in the anime.
Yess
Yes!!!!
dude! the main reason they lost the fight witin tempest, was because there were two overpowered bebuff-barriers around them, one deactivated just about all magic, and the other specifically weakening monsters
Meggido is pure great sage flex. He made giant fucking water lenses in the atmosphere and focused light into hundreds of individual beams and then proceeded to target them all precisely simultaneously.
not a spilor !
in the next episode know: rimuru voice = rimuru and sage voice = sage speaking
a lot of people get confused above this.
i know rightm iv seen so many people go " rimiru looks good with red eyes" and im sitting there like " erm it said NOTICE.. meaning its not rimiru"
@@filerwill yeah i dont know hpw people are confused on that its so clear ots ridiculous
no blood blood bath, cause the wounds are all cauterized XD
At first I thought Rimuru was going to drown them to death but this was just as amazing
The only thing the anime miss is the mini manga chapter of a Army man of falmauth who actually wasn’t a bad person
"You could take entire kingdoms out like this"
well yes. But actually no.
While Megiddo is certainly a strong spell and one of the most satisfying ones in the entire show, it does come with a lot of limitations, due to mainly beeing built around the idea of efficiency.
While the beams of light it emits are powerfull, (and not technically magical in nature therefore not hindered by magical barriers) they are stopped by mildy thick physical barriers. Given enough time, they could probably pierce a sheet of metal, but if you actually holed yourself up behind castle walls, they'd unlikely be able to get to you fast enough.
Which brings us to the next problem, Megiddo's biggest strength is "surprise" (which is why Rimuru rarely uses it)
It's a brilliant spell, able to achieve much power with little magical energy put into, but that actually makes it easy to counter for someone who has figured out how the spell works.
A few examples given in the light novel would be: Casting a heatspell to evaporate the moisture in the air Megiddo would need to form the lenses, putting up a smoke or dustscreen to block the light or simply putting up your own reflective water spell to disrupt the beams.
Not to mention that many of the more powerfull people in this world have some form of "natural element resistance" meaning that while rimuru can make short work of most armies, this spell would do nothing more than mildly annoy an opponent at demonlord or saint level.
which is good to kill the canon fodder......you dont kill a ant with a shotgun when you could have use a boot or something
@@dustindiaz9493 Pretty much.
Anything that survives Megiddo will be a threat big enough to be handled by Rimurus companions.
And anything that survives that is a threat big enough for Rimuru himself to step in
6:01 "Just make his head alive and make him just sit somewhere"
Ironically enough, that's exactly what he did. Hakuro kept going faster so that he'd focus his "Eye" more and more so that a 'second' was extended some 400+ times. He literally spent a mini eternity as a severed head, specifically so he could "reflect" on his actions and such that lead to that moment. Just Hakuro being low-key an absolute savage.
As for the other guy killing his 'friend', his Unique Skill, Berserker, makes him stronger by killing humans, and killing his 'friend' for power managed to get him the Survivor skill. As for Survivor not really mattering...well, yeah, kinda. I mean, just because you heal from the attack, doesn't change the fact that you're getting attacked, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't even come with a 'Nullify Pain' skill like what Rimuru got when reincarnating back in Season 1.
They took down the human's barrier, cause that was hurting them by existing, but on the other hand, the existence of that barrier prevented the souls of their fallen friends from dissipating. Then, Shuna and the other one (sorry, I'm bad with names, so I forget her's at the moment) cast a new barrier; no negative effects, while still keeping the souls contained.
Speaking of 'savage', that ending scene when Shogo got killed; in the other media, the other two had their whole conversation about 'using' the three Otherworlders _before_ killing Shogo, so he hears all of that and starts screaming about how that's not how it goes, how the strong kill the weak and such and such. Razen's response? "You're right, it is the strong that trample over the weak. However, you seem to have mistaken something: *you* are among the weak who will be trampled upon." Ded.
This episode and the next one are there on the top most satisfying revenge in anime.
Rimuru: Kill 20000 human.
Ainz ooal gown: You had my curiosity now you have my attention.
From what I know thisis small part of the mass killling he does later
you're missing the weakening barriers from before ... there where 3 barriers in total:
- the prison field (the pyramid formed barrier) - hinders monsters from fleeing and weakens them a little bit
- the anti magic field from myulan - weakens all magic, therefore also magical lifeforms as monsters
- the barrier hinata casted around rimuru - disturbing the connection rimuru has to the monsters named by him, therefore weaken them somewhat on emotional/moral level
the soldiers and the three otherworlders only knew about there prison field, that's why they unerestimated them at the end as they didn't know to what extend they where weakened before by the other two barriers
Exactly spot on.
A bit of context for the Megiddo move Rimuru used;
Rimuru already cast an anti-magic barrier on the whole camp so that nothing could intervene. Megiddo itself isn't a spell, but rather water droplet manipulation that concentrates natural sunlight to extreme precision (like an ultra magnifying loop), literally turning the sunlight into beams of laser which are then targeted at people in the camp. It uses very little of his energy since it isn't a magicule spell, and its effectiveness isn't relying on non-physical elements that would be hindered or weakened by the anti-magic barrier.
Basically, Rimuru is doing a scaled up equivalent of frying ants with a magnifier.
His wise words:
You could technically live forever as long as you don't get killed
LMAO
The magic barrier that was put up heavily weakened everyone as well as their promise to Rimuru
the anti-magic barrier didn't do much, it was the holy field used by the western saint's church that did 90% of the damage to the monsters inside tempest!
14:02 Are they bad people? The manga had a whole chapter on this but the anime never went into it (instead opting for duplicate cgi knights). How many of those people were just an average father or son who happened to serve in the army of Falmuth. How many of them were just following orders or felt that they had no choice to go and fight for their country. I wish the anime adapted chapter 65.5
Magido + the song, so epic but afterwards just okay nothing else 😭😂
Let the massacre begin xD
Just a little something to give some perspective to Kyoya, the guy that Hakuro decapitated
Just 20 seconds 300 times slowed is equivalent to 1h and 40 minutes
Some studies have shown brain activities so much as 30 minutes after the heart has stopped beating
That means good old Kyoya may have "lived" up to 150 hours, aka about 6 full days, as a head, with what was probably a terrible pain and nothing to do beside reflecting on what happened. Oh boy.
"You can basically live forever if you don't get killed"-AJ Rich 2021
Kyoya's ability is double edge sword. His mind is 300× faster, so everything appears 300x slower in his sense.
Imagine the pain of a sword super slowly cutting through his neck , and even beheaded, a normal human has still brain activities for a couple of seconds, which is a couple of minutes in kyoyas perspective.
You mean few dozen seconds top, before your head shuts off. French were experimenting a lot when they were in guillotine spree. Instructing people to blink or watching eyes to react to movement/light.
I guess you forgot they were in a barrier that nullified their magic which is why they lost
In the manga, we got a few panels about one of the soldiers and how he is an atheist. Then he was one of the last soldiers killed and looked up at Rimaru, his last thought being, "I wish I could've told my kids that god was surprisingly childlike".
Rimaru got an atheist to think he was god.
According to the web novel MEGIDDO is a physics magic that utilizes thousands of water droplets suspended at high altitude to focus and converge sunlight into fine lasers
I mean when this happened in the anime I was just laughing maniacally becuase it was SOOOO GOOD
Benimaru deleting that one camp is one of my top 10 moments.
Great sage calmly counting kills is what scares me
AJ :- this might be hard for gabiru
GABIRU :- yeeeehhhoooooooooooo
9:05 "it was just a prank bro"
I really liked Geld here. He's all plodding and slow and tanking damage and then this sudden completely unexpected burst of speed. Also seeing how powerful Gobta and Rigurd actually are.
Even the Gabiru fanclub was allowed to show off, showing they can do more than chanting and dancing. ^^
Why they lost in the first place was mainly because they were inside a barrier that sapped their very life-force and prevented them from using any magic... on top of the order not to hurt Humans.
But now they are outside the barrier and able to bring their full power to bear.
To me it looks like Megiddo isn't using much power, because it's creating lenses to concentrate sunlight into essentially lasers and he's only controlling the lenses and the small droplets he uses to redirect the lasers. It probably takes a whole lot of concentration, but probably little power compared to the black flames.
Which makes it potentially hard to use, but incredibly efficient.
If it barely uses magic power, it would also explain why it works so perfectly inside an anti-magic barrier.
I really hope AJ reacts to slime diaries
Nothing is scarier than when a gentle person is pushed to their limit.
not just Rimuru's orders to not go against humans, but there was also the barrier that weakened them too
3:13 the main reason they lost is because they put up a barrier that’s weakened monsters they could barely use magic cuz of it
whats the name of the song that starts when they erect the extra barrier?
many have pointed these facts, but they are dispersed so here is a summary of Meggido
- The spell was made just recently for Rimuru to end Farmas army, and it is only really usable by Rimuru, the calculations needed for its execution are imposible to be done by preatty much anyone else unless they have something like Great Sage
- Its brutal agains fodder but not that useful against people over a certain point of strength, still a relatibly high point but against things like Charibdys or Hinata and those above is useless, infact, I think most fighting personel in Tempest can survive it
- the spell is actually a Spirit Magic that has extreamly low magic comsumpion creating lenses of water to focus the sun rays into concetrated lasers, then dropplets of water to redirect this lasers to their target, so it cant be stopped by anti magic barriers since its a phisical event in itself (that all is extreamly important in Tensura and permeates a LOT of things)
note, correct me if it wrong, but I remember another benefit of Spirit Magic being that it can be used in Anti Magic barrier due to its nature, hence why Rimuru choose it for this killer combo, since he still needed to control the dropplets of water inside the anti magic barrier
added note to Rimuru, this I didnt know until recently, the reason Great Sage and Predator/Gluttony is as effective as it is is thanks to Rimuru machinating a way to cincurvent a limitation inherent to both skills, basically he found and made a unique conection between the 2 skills that compensated for the others lack and thus both became way more OP than originally intended, basically its limitation are that Great Sage can obtain info an anything as long as you are able to comprehend it first, and also things like tough acceletation an parallel processing, but the main problem is what is needed to make Great Sage activate in recognition of this activation requirement, a limit originally set on it, but Predator had the ability to assimilate and comprehend basically anything, but this actually takes a lot of time and one mental effort in doing so, so, I guess you can see what he did here, by linking Predators ability to imput and analize whats devoured into Great Sage info acces with its tough acceleration, this can be done imediatly, not only that, but by having it done in the parallel process it never takes any direct atention or concentration of Rimuru to do so, a killer combo actually
I just love how
"rimuru says (MEGIDDO!)"
✨💯🥰🥰
Shogo: it was just a joke
Geld: and here's a punchline
You also have to remember that besides the rule rimuru gave they were weakened by the barrier , so they didn’t have their full power back then either .
Megiddo is like the same meaning of Armageddon in another language
i subbed with your voice and content man...great work!
Those weakling otherworlders benefited from the anti magic barrier and the "holy field" that weakens monsters. That is all. Else they are no match.
Kyoya's All Seeing Eyes has ability to think 300 times than normal speed, however it also make him 300 times about feeling his death.
The reason the Falmuth soldiers were able to slaughter so many and destroy so much wasn't only due to Rimuru's command not to kill humans. That would only have limited the monsters offensively. Under normal circumstances, the defenses and skills of the people of Rimuru would have prevented anything significantly bad from happening. But it was not normal circumstances. Due to the barriers around the city, the monsters only had limited access to their magicules, making them far weaker than normal. So with a bound offense and weakened defense, the city of Rimuru was sacked.
In the manga, hakurou didn't just deflect the blades that kyouya guy threw, he reflected them back at him
"What the hell he grab his balls" 😂 😂 😂
Revenge bas never tasted SO sweet! Also the other reason why Rimuru's gang couldn't go all out was because of the barrier that weakens monsters which the enemy created.
6:02 300×30 is 9000. 9000÷60 is 150. So he’s going to experience 150 minutes of subjective time or 2 1/2 hours.
That last part always gives me goosebumps
Overlord season 4 announced including a movie, more details on May 8
You also forgot the reason they lost to the 2 otherworlders inside Tempest was due to the barrier that weakens monsters, so they weren't fighting even close to their full strength...
Someone help me I need to know what manga page episode 41 is
Previously all of them were weakened becoz of the barrier. this time all of them were on full power
Can you watch slime diaries when you have when you finish ep 12
not wrong about his vision being superior, he has celestial eye, and evolved form of that all seeing eye
Also don't forget, the first Time they were being attacked there was a barrier which basically nullifyed a lot of their skills and powers, I believe If this wouldn't have been the case, they still would have won, even without going all out.
And I was so happy when Rimuru just killed them, they totally deserved it, I don't feel any guilt.
I have waited for this moment for the last days. Now the time has come!
Megido use the energy of sun so it goes with the speed of light and no song so no one will notice what is happening unless he is faster than speed of light and the temperature is same as the sun
1:59 he just 1shots all at once, Benimaru is loosing to him :D
they werent holding back they gotta super nerfed cause of the debuffs xd
Yeah, those barriers really hindered the monsters.
I feel like being good at science also makes you being good at magic, because Megiddo was created by using water droplets and the sun.
Been waiting patiently now it's here im so excited!
you should take notice of the improvments of each character and their unique skills and new skills
Keep up the good work, Love your reactions!
It's at light speed
That's the speed given in Light Novel
From what I know he never uses Megiddo again
btw,dat Meggido uses the laws of physics, so basically this skill is science-based, Rimuru is so smart....
just a heads up, the only time people can hear word of the world is when an event that will break the balance of the world is happening
Top 10
Oddly satisfying videos
I dont mind killing a bad human, if i have the power that rimuru have.
Finally, the one weve been waiting for...
True, reimei/dawn music starts kicking
His broken mask at the end...
The human extiction mive from majin buu i agree its simmilar
Actually it was more the Church's purification field barrier thing that was the monsters biggest crippler and why they took so much damage.
Despite how he looked? What the hell kinda dis was that? Its not like he looked like an evil pervert, Gobzo looked dopey if anything.
When Hakurou said his movements should be catching up to your senses now it meant that little bastard had already been beheaded. Regeneration doesnt mean it doesnt hurt when someone is breaking your bone and corroding your flesh.
Painless insta kills yes but in a area holding 20k people watching tens and hundreds of other soldiers dropping all around them... fucking terrifying for the still living.
Epic channel 👍
Satisfaction~
as much as I enjoy your reactions, you do seem to misinterpret or not notice certain things. the pact against killing humans isn't what caused them to lose in the first place. they lost because the humans had weakened them to the point they'd be at a disadvantage. I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out as I don't read through the comments and I also recently started watching your content. but great stuff regardless
Yeah I agree. Because Rimuru told them not to fight humans.
Hakurou did not move
Can’t wait for the next one Jesus he will freak
I know I'm going to enjoy this right off the bat, enjoy a like just the same. I expect the same next episode. top 2 episodes of the season.
