The latest episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 delivered exactly what viewers wanted. Episode 6, titled “The Council of the West,” arrived on May 15, 2026, and it did not hold back. The political tension that built up over the last few weeks finally broke in the best way possible. Two of the show’s strongest female characters, Hinata Sakaguchi and Shuna, took center stage and reminded everyone why you do not mess with Rimuru Tempest or his nation.
The episode picked up right where the previous one left off. Rimuru had just lost his temper after reading the unfair contract from the Western Council. But instead of Rimuru starting a fight, the show gave the spotlight to Hinata and Shuna. Both women handled the arrogant human nobles with calm, effortless power that left the entire council stunned.
The Council Meeting Turns Into a Trap for Rimuru
The Western Council meeting was never going to be simple. Rimuru arrived dressed in formal clothes, though he quickly realized his outfit looked like children’s clothing, which annoyed him. Shuna looked elegant as always, while Benimaru and Souei dressed in business suits. The human nobles treated Rimuru poorly from the start. The lower-ranking officials showed respect, but the upper lords immediately tried to insult and push him around.
Rimuru quickly understood that something bigger was happening. Someone had placed a mental spell called a geas on many council members. This spell forced them to treat Rimuru unfairly. The person behind this was Mariabell, a young noble with dangerous plans. But thanks to Raphael, Rimuru’s powerful AI skill, the mind control got removed. The council members suddenly realized they had been acting strangely.
Even with the mind control gone, one young prince from Engrassia kept causing problems. He was not under any spell. He was simply foolish and easily used as a pawn by Mariabell. The tension in the room kept building until someone finally crossed the line.
Hinata Sakaguchi Shows Why She Fights Like a Demon Lord
The big moment came when a cocky human knight challenged Rimuru’s group. That is when Hinata Sakaguchi stepped in. Hinata is the leader of the Holy Knights from the Western Church. She is also one of the strongest humans in the entire world. In episode 6, she proved exactly why.
Hinata opened a can of whoop-ass on the knight. It was absolutely expected and completely satisfying to watch.
Hinata did not even break a sweat. She took down the knight with minimal effort, using her incredible sword skills and holy magic. For those who know her background, this was no surprise. Hinata came from Japan just like Rimuru’s original human form. She was also a student of Shizu, the woman whose appearance Rimuru copies. She learned under Shizu for just one month and reportedly surpassed her teacher.
Her unique skills make her a nightmare in battle. She has Usurper, which lets her steal knowledge and abilities from stronger opponents. She also has Mathematician, which speeds up her thinking during fights. Her finishing move, Rainbow End, kills any target after seven hits, even spiritual beings. Rimuru himself once said Hinata is stronger than most demon lords. Seeing her destroy that knight in episode 6 reminded everyone of that fact.
Shuna Proves She Is Not Just a Cute Face
While Hinata handled the physical fight, Shuna handled the psychological warfare. Fans know Shuna as the kind and gentle princess of the Ogre tribe. She usually stays in the background, managing events and making clothes. But episode 6 showed a completely different side of her.
After Hinata finished her fight, the nobles still acted arrogantly. That is when Shuna decided to speak. She did not yell or threaten. Instead, she calmly called down what fans are calling the wrath of god. She made it very clear that if anyone in that room thought they could beat Rimuru in a fight, they were welcome to try. Her tone remained polite, but her words cut deep.
Shuna calling down the wrath of god and women is perfection. Now we know why Shion was left at home. She would not have been able to hold back.
The room went silent. These human nobles had spent the entire meeting insulting a demon lord and his people. Now they had to sit there while a small, gentle-looking princess told them exactly how weak they really were. It was a power move that worked perfectly. The episode made it clear that Shuna is not someone to underestimate. She may not fight often, but when she does, she does it with style and intelligence.
Tempest Walks Away With Everything They Wanted
After Hinata and Shuna put the nobles in their place, the meeting took a completely different direction. Rimuru and the nation of Tempest got exactly what they came for. The Western Nations accepted Tempest as an independent nation. No more unfair contracts. No more human control. Rimuru achieved his goal without starting a war.
The episode ended with a surprising twist. Diablo, one of Rimuru’s most loyal and powerful servants, tracked down an assassin. But this was no ordinary killer. The assassin carried a sniper rifle. Someone had brought modern Earth weapons into this fantasy world. The episode ended on this cliffhanger, leaving fans desperate for more.

Social media lit up after Episode 6 aired. Fans have waited a long time to see Hinata and Shuna get proper fighting moments. The episode delivered in a big way. Many viewers pointed out that Shion would have destroyed the entire building if she had attended the meeting. Rimuru made the right choice by leaving her home.
The fight scenes and political drama came together perfectly in this episode. The council members thought they could push Rimuru around because he looks like a child. They learned the hard way that Rimuru’s people do not need him to fight for them. His followers can handle business on their own.
The animation quality stayed strong throughout the episode. The moment when Shuna silenced the entire room has already become a favorite scene for many viewers. Hinata’s quick fight also got praised for showing her power without dragging out the action.
Episode 6 proved that That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 has no plans to slow down. With the sniper rifle reveal at the end, the show is setting up an even bigger conflict. Someone from Rimuru’s original world has brought modern weapons into the mix. The next episodes will likely explain how this happened and who is behind it.
