The Dungeon from That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Explained
----- ADS-----
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime is a renowned name in the isekai world. It’s one of those feel-good series where the title gives away the plot of the show. Luckily, this anime is nowhere near the length and ridiculousness of many isekai titles, and it’s not as simple as it sounds. Once the middle-aged Satoru Mikami is reincarnated as a magical slime in a fantasy world, the viewers are introduced to a lore that’s deeply rich and complicated.
Although the anime follows a celebrated isekai trend of featuring stories with a “gaming-like” structure, That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime takes a more comical yet well-crafted approach. Important elements like the Dungeon and its contents are critical to the anime’s plot and serve as a means to elevate the story’s depth and world-building.
Also known as the “Labyrinth,” the Dungeon is a crucial part of the anime’s fantasy world. When Rimuru Tempest founded the Jura-Tempest Federation in the Jura Forest, their only goal was to create a laid-back world where they could relax for the rest of their days. While Rimuru is still working towards that goal, they allowed others to make use of their constructiveness. For instance, Rimuru allowed Ramiris to construct the Dungeon on both Ramiris and Tempest’s territories with the help of the latter’s Intrinsic skills. The purpose of the Dungeon is to provide a safe and competitive space for adventurers to test out their skills and rejoice in the rewards received in the process. Rimuru handed the reins of the Dungeon to Ramiris and trusted her to run the operations smoothly. The “Labyrinth Fairy” is responsible for managing, expanding, and designing the Dungeon to the best of her abilities.
