That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 continues its weekly run with Episode 16 arriving this Friday. The series has been following a steady release pattern since its return in April, and the next chapter is set to drop right on schedule. Rimuru Tempest and the Jura Tempest Federation are in the middle of a tense political standoff with the Rozzo family, and viewers are eager to see how the conflict moves forward. Here is everything you need to know about Episode 16, including the exact release time, where to watch it, and a recap of what happened in the previous episode.
Episode 16 Release Date and Time
Episode 16 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 is scheduled to release on Friday, July 24, 2026. The series has stuck to its weekly Friday schedule since the season premiere, giving fans a reliable day to look forward to each week.
The episode will premiere at 2 p.m. UTC. For viewers in the United States, that breaks down to:
- 7 a.m. Pacific Time (PT)
- 10 a.m. Eastern Time (ET)
International fans can check their local schedules based on the 2 p.m. UTC release time. That lands in the early afternoon across most of Europe and stretches into the evening for viewers in South and Southeast Asia. In Japan, new episodes continue to air domestically as part of NTV’s Friday Anime Night programming block, the same broadcast slot the series has used since its earlier seasons.
Where to Watch Episode 16
Crunchyroll holds the streaming rights for international distribution of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4. The platform covers North America, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, the CIS region, and Southeast Asia.
Crunchyroll will release Episode 16 with both English subtitles and a full English dub. The platform has used this dual release approach consistently throughout the season, so fans can choose how they want to watch without waiting for a separate dub rollout. The English dub for the fourth season premiered on April 17, 2026.
For viewers looking for free streaming options, there are currently no free options available for Season 4. The season is available on Crunchyroll Premium and through the Crunchyroll Amazon Channel.
Season 4 Structure and Episode Count
Season 4 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is structured differently than previous installments. The season will run for five total cours rather than a standard single or double cour format. A cour is about three months of TV episodes.
The first two cours began airing consecutively starting in April, with a total of 24 episodes confirmed for this initial run. The season is expected to consist of more than 60 episodes overall across all five cours. Release windows for the remaining three cours have not yet been confirmed, meaning fans should expect this current stretch of weekly episodes to eventually pause before the season resumes later.
The confirmed episode schedule for the remaining episodes is as follows:
- Episode 16 – July 24, 2026
- Episode 17 – July 31, 2026
- Episode 18 – August 7, 2026
- Episode 19 – August 14, 2026
- Episode 20 – August 21, 2026
- Episode 21 – August 28, 2026
- Episode 22 – September 4, 2026
- Episode 23 – September 11, 2026
- Episode 24 – September 18, 2026
What Happened in Episode 15
Episode 15, titled ‘An Unsettling Feeling’ , premiered on July 17, 2026. The episode continued the slow-burn tension between Tempest and the Rozzo family while events in El Dorado kept Leon’s own agenda simmering in the background.
Rimuru Tempest has been navigating one of the more politically charged chapters of the series yet. The Jura Tempest Federation is pushing deeper into its ambitious plan for a world where humans and monsters can coexist. That vision has put Rimuru at odds with Granville Rozzo and his granddaughter Maribel, who see the demon lord’s rise as a genuine threat to be contained rather than an alliance worth pursuing.
The season’s story sees Demon Lord Rimuru’s dream of uniting humans and monsters move closer to reality as Tempest continues to thrive. However, Granville Rozzo and Maribel Rozzo oppose him with their own vision for protecting humanity, while Demon Lord Leon pursues his own agenda in El Dorado.
What to Expect in Episode 16
Episode 16 is positioned to push the political tension between Tempest and the Rozzo family even further. Granville’s plans are still in disarray, and Leon’s next move remains an open question. The looming awakening of a new Hero continues to hang over the broader season.
The episode will adapt material from the manga, continuing the storyline after Granville negotiated with Yuuki regarding Luminous. The series has been building toward a major conflict, and Episode 16 marks a significant point in the ongoing standoff.
Opening and Ending Theme Songs
Eir Aoi performs the opening theme song “Esoragoto (Unrealistic)”. CiON performs the ending theme song “Katsubō (Craving)”. Both songs have been featured throughout the season.
