That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 Episode 24, titled “Brave Awakening,” arrived on Crunchyroll on September 25, 2026, closing out the second cour of the anime’s biggest season yet. The finale resolved the long-running Chronoa arc, brought Hinata Sakaguchi and Chloe Aubert back from the edge, and delivered a quiet, unexpected ending for the season’s main antagonist, Granbell Rozzo. The episode also confirmed what many fans had suspected: Chloe is the true Hero this world has been waiting for.
What Happened in the Finale
The episode picked up directly from the previous week’s cliffhanger. Rimuru touched Chronoa’s soul and learned the truth behind her pain. Chronoa, the Hero from a distant past trapped inside Chloe’s body, had been looping through time for thousands of years, trying to find a timeline where the world could be saved. Each attempt failed. The current timeline, with Rimuru at his current strength, was the most promising yet.
Raphael, Rimuru’s wisdom-type Ultimate Skill, attempted to interfere with Chronoa’s Infinite Prison ability. That skill had trapped both Hinata and Chloe inside it. Hinata had already died during Gran’s attack, and Chloe’s soul was lost within Chronoa’s mental prison. Raphael’s interference was risky, but it worked. Rimuru managed to separate Hinata’s soul from Chloe’s body, and with Luminous Valentine’s help, Hinata was brought back to life.
Chloe’s awakening came next. She emerged from Chronoa’s hold with her adult consciousness intact and a new power inside her. The episode confirmed that Chloe had gained a Hero Egg, a rare and powerful seed that marks someone as a chosen Hero. That egg triggered a surge in her abilities, transforming her into something far beyond what she was before.
Gran’s Final Plan and Defeat
Granbell Rozzo, the former Chosen Hero known as the Luminary of Sun, had been the season’s main threat. His plan was layered. He wanted to eliminate the demon lords and restore humanity’s place at the top of the world’s order. When that failed, he had a backup: if Rimuru and Luminous managed to awaken Chloe as a true Hero, that Hero would still protect humanity. Either way, Gran believed he would win.
Luminous Valentine ended the fight. She used her ultimate weapon and struck Gran down. In his final moments, Gran smiled. He passed on knowing that a true Hero would rise to protect humanity, and he trusted Rimuru and the heroes to handle what came next. It was a quiet end for a character who had spent centuries chasing a goal that had consumed him.
Chloe Awakens as the True Hero
The episode’s title, “Brave Awakening,” referred directly to Chloe. After the battle, she told Rimuru that she had gained the Hero Egg and that her abilities had surged because of it. Chloe Aubert is now the true Hero of this world, a role that carries weight across every timeline she has lived through.
Fans on social media highlighted the moment Rimuru separated Hinata’s soul from Chloe’s body and the scene where Luminous revived Hinata as standout sequences. The emotional payoff of Chloe’s awakening landed well, especially for viewers who had followed her journey from a quiet child in earlier seasons to the center of a time-traveling mystery.

The Chronoa and Chloe Time Loop Explained
The second cour of Season 4 spent twelve episodes building toward this finale. Chloe’s secret time-travel ability sent her back thousands of years across multiple timelines. Every attempt was a failed bid to reach a point where the world could be saved. The current timeline, with Rimuru at his current strength, is the most promising yet.
Chronoa, the Hero from the past, was the result of one of those failed loops. She became an avatar of destruction, and Gran’s plan relied on her power to wipe out the demon lords. Rimuru’s ability to reach Chronoa’s soul and calm her changed everything. The Infinite Prison was broken, Hinata was revived, and Chloe awakened with memories spanning countless lifetimes.
Animation, Music, and Production
The second cour opened with “TACTIC” by Daoko, produced by Giga and TeddyLoid. Each episode closed with “Hymnal” performed by Azusa Tadokoro, who also voices Chloe. The ending theme carried extra weight in the finale, given Chloe’s central role in the episode.
The key visual for this cour debuted Testarossa, Ultima, and Carrera alongside Chloe and Granbell, teasing the confrontations that played out across these twelve episodes. Studio Eight Bit handled the animation, and the season has been noted for sharper visuals and smoother character animation compared to previous seasons.
Reception and Fan Response
Reactions to the finale were mixed but leaned positive. Many fans praised the emotional resolution of the Hinata and Chloe storyline. Others felt the pacing of the season had been uneven, with some episodes dragging before the action picked up in the final stretch.
“Everything for this season is a massive, noticeable improvement from Season 3. The art, the animation, the music queues, all on the same quality or better as Season 1 & 2.” — Ultron-Sigma on MyAnimeList
Gran’s final moments divided viewers. Some saw his plan as a clever no-lose scenario. Others felt his defeat came too quickly after so much buildup. The consensus, however, was that his character arc ended in a way that made him more sympathetic than he had been for most of the season.
