Meet the characters from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Geld

Geld is that silent powerhouse who somehow reads like two characters mashed together — stoic warrior with a surprisingly soft spot for small animals (really, cute little things make him melt, who knew?). He fights like a wrecking ball and then politely waters a plant afterward, which I adore; also maybe he hums while chopping wood? Mostly calm, almost brooding, but when the fight starts he becomes this pure, blunt force energy and it’s oddly soothing to watch. He doesn’t do the flashy speeches, more the “let my axe speak” vibe, although he once tried to write a poem and it was terrible but earnest. Honestly, he’s the sort of friend you’d want in a bar brawl and on your couch during a thunderstorm.

Hakurou

Hakurou is Grandpa Samurai but also low-key terrifying in the best way — old, wise, ridiculously skilled, and somehow the father figure to an entire army of muscle-bound sword nerds. He trains people with a dry joke and an elbow that could split a mountain, and yes he will smack you for slacking but bring you tea afterward (maybe with a stern look). He’s patient almost to a fault, full of stories that seem made up but actually aren’t, and his patience hides a history of actually insane battles. Also he’s the kind of dude who bakes sometimes? Don’t ask where the baking came from, it just does.

Benimaru

Benimaru is hot-headed royalty-in-practice — scarred, stylish, and absolutely devoted to his people, like a flaming red storm with manners. He’s fierce in battle, respects honor, and will give you that very intense look that says “I will protect you, and also roast you if you deserve it.” Surprisingly tactical for someone who looks like he was carved out of a volcano, and also a big romantic at heart (he tries hard, bless him). He likes fireworks, loud celebrations, and making grand declarations at 2 AM, for reasons that only he finds sensible.

Hinata Sakaguchi

Hinata is an immaculate, iron-willed hero in crisp armor who makes “no-nonsense” feel elegant, like a walking edict with perfect hair. She radiates competence and has this almost clinical calm in battle, but she actually cares a lot under that pristine exterior (will absolutely scold you and then quietly help). She can be terrifyingly efficient — like, checklists-for-war kind of efficient — yet has tiny, inexplicable hobbies like collecting pressed flowers or perfecting a cup of coffee. There’s a cool loneliness to her, but also flashes of someone who’d break protocol to save a kitten, which is why everyone loves her.

Diablo

Diablo is the Butler of Doom and yes that is exactly the vibe — suave, unnervingly polite, and secretly everything is on fire under the table because he thinks it’s amusing. He executes Rimuru’s will with laser precision but also seems to take personal offense when things are inefficient (and you will hear about it, quietly and wickedly). He has the kind of loyalty that could move continents, and a taste for theatrics (a dark bow here, a casual menace there). Also he bakes???? Maybe not, but he’d probably poison you and then serve cake with a perfect smile.

Demon Lord Frey

Frey is glamour and chaos in a gown — elegant, scheming, utterly unpredictable, and always wearing jewelry that could start a war. She moves through politics like a spider through silk, smiling while she rearranges the world to suit her whims (and yes, she genuinely likes chaos, which is wild). Sometimes she seems whimsically cruel, sometimes sincerely affectionate, and it’s impossible to tell if she’s trolling or genuinely emotional — which I kind of live for. She collects grudges like others collect stamps, and will remember the exact shade of your insult for years.

Demon Lord Carrion

Carrion is the quiet, creepy undercurrent — unsettling in a slow-burn way, like someone who whispers spoilers right before the last episode. He has a fascination with death and decay that is oddly academic, very “let me catalog this” rather than melodramatic, which makes him cooler and scarier. There’s this unnerving politeness to him (he might offer you tea while describing your demise) and a penchant for macabre jokes that are somehow tasteful? Also, he sometimes acts like an absent-minded professor, which is both creepy and kind of endearing in a dark way.

Rimuru Tempest

Rimuru is the sociaIly chill slime who becomes everyone’s favorite weird dad — brilliant, endlessly adaptable, and charmingly casual about world domination (sort of). He’s warm, curious, and likes making friends almost as much as he likes trying new food, and yes he eats problematic things but always in the name of peace? He can pivot from adorable to terrifying in half a blink — equal parts strategist and goofball — and somehow pulls off both. Also mood swings about cooking — sometimes a masterchef, sometimes microwaved chaos, which is honestly humanizing.

Veldora Tempest

Veldora is the Loud Dragon You Can’t Ignore and I swear he has the personality of a festival: boisterous, dramatic, endlessly hungry, and ridiculously loyal. He’s a chaotic storm of jokes, bad puns, raging battles, and then he’ll turn around and give the world’s most sincere pep talk like a giant brosicle. He loves pranks, food, and telling exaggerated stories that somehow are all true, probably, maybe not, who can say. Also he’s living proof that dragons make the best drunk friends — terrifying opinions, but comfortingly honest.

Milim Nava

Milim is destruction in a sugar-coated bow — adorable, hyperactive, utterly chaotic, and terrifyingly strong like a toddler with a doomsday device. She swings between giggling fits and apocalyptic rages with zero transition time, which is both hilarious and slightly traumatic for anyone nearby. She honestly loves sweets, friendship bracelets, and sometimes ripping mountains apart for fun, which makes her simultaneously adorable and the scariest playmate ever. Deep down there’s a childish loneliness that makes her acts of affection feel huge and unexpectedly tender.
