That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime episode 56 recap

The emperor of Lubelius, Louis, goes to Luminous Valentine to inform her about Hinata confronting Rimuru Tempest. He fears that the Seven Days Clergies are somehow behind the entire situation.

Gunther reprimands the emperor for disturbing Luminous over trivial matters, but the Goddess tells them to follow her. Meanwhile, the episode switches to the battlefield, where Team Reborn overwhelms the Crusaders.

Interestingly, Shion joins the battle and orders the Paladins to either give up or die. Renard remains undeterred by Shion's words. He orders his crusaders to uplift a Holy barrier around the "monster."

On the other side, Rimuru Tempest confronts Hinata Sakaguchi. After a few exchanges of words, they get an inkling about the miscommunication. Nevertheless, the duo decides to clash swords.

Hinata's subordinates hold the forte against Rimuru's executives, while the duo engages in a fierce battle. The episode shifts the focus back to Shion, who tells Renard and Garde that she's a Wicked Oni, a being higher than a normal Oni.

She once again orders them to surrender, but the Crusaders and the Paladins don't listen. As such, Shion tells them to come at her using their most powerful attack. If she survives, they will have to give up.

Even though Garde fires his most potent fire elemental attack, Shion cuts through it with ease. She even breaks the Holy Barrier with her sword. Later, Renard observes Hinata's battle against Rimuru and realizes the Clergy's words were a lie and that he should have come to Jura Tempest.

Meanwhile, Hinata Sakaguchi demonstrates the powers of the blade that the Seven Days Clergy had given to her. Although Rimuru finds it difficult to parry the girl's attacks, he eventually learns a future sight ability to see through Hinata's moves.

Eventually, Hinata Sakaguchi proposes to end the battle with one final strike. She uses her most powerful move, Meltslash, on Rimuru Tempest, but the Slime survives the attack. Hinata laughs because she knew that his opponent would dodge it.

However, at that moment, the Holy Church leader notices an interference from her blade, lying on the ground. She realizes the dirty ploy of the Seven Days Clergy.

The blade targets Rimuru, but Hinata jumps forward to save the slime. The episode ends with the blade's magic skewering Hinata Sakaguchi.

Considering how the episode ended, That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime episode 57 will likely show Hinata Sakaguchi's status. There's no doubt that she will live, especially with Rimuru Tempest there.

The Slime may use advanced healing magic to aid Hinata. On the other hand, Renard may disclose his conversation with the Seven Days Clergy to Hinata and others. That could potentially resolve the conflict between the Jura Tempest and the Lubelius to some extent.
