The latest episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 has arrived, and it delivers some of the most important story developments yet. Episode 20, titled “Chronoa the Hero, Part One,” finally starts to unravel the mystery behind the legendary hero who sealed Veldora the Storm Dragon long ago. The episode aired on August 28, 2026, and it marks the beginning of a new chapter in the series.
The episode picks up right after the shocking events of Episode 19. Granville Rozzo, with help from Yuuki Kagurazaka, managed to steal the sealed body of Chronoa from Demon Lord Luminous’s castle. Now that Chronoa has been awakened, the situation has become very dangerous. According to Granville, Chronoa’s power is so great that even Demon Lords like Rimuru and Leon would not be able to match her.
Chronoa’s Connection to Chloe and Hinata
One of the biggest questions this episode tackles is the connection between Chronoa, Chloe Aubert, and Hinata Sakaguchi. Both Chloe and Hinata vanished without a trace, and even Rimuru could not detect them. The episode reveals that their disappearance is directly tied to Chronoa’s awakening.
The episode shows that Hinata, who was believed to have lost her life, actually travels to the past along with Chloe. This happens because of Chloe’s Unique Skill called “Time Travel”. The two of them find themselves in a different time period and must figure out how to return to the future. To do this, they seek help from a certain person.
This storyline connects back to something fans have been wondering about since the early seasons. The masked hero who appeared in the past and sealed Veldora is now being properly explained. The episode shows that Chloe and Chronoa are actually the same person. Chronoa is what is known as a “Manas” – a consciousness born from Chloe’s memories, trauma, and emotions after going through many different timelines.
The Growing Threat of Chronoa
The episode makes it clear that Chronoa poses a serious threat to everyone. Granville believes that Chronoa’s power is unmatched, and he is confident that even the combined strength of multiple Demon Lords would not be enough to stop her. This sets up what could be one of the biggest battles the series has seen so far.
According to the manga adaptation, which the anime is following, Episode 20 covers chapters 143 to 145 of the source material. In these chapters, three Demon Lords, including Rimuru and Leon, join forces to fight against Chronoa. This means viewers can expect a major confrontation in the coming episodes.
The awakening of Chronoa also ties into the larger conflict between Rimuru and the Rozzo family. Granville Rozzo and his granddaughter Maribel Rozzo have been trying to protect humanity by ruling over all other races. Their plan puts them directly against Rimuru’s dream of peaceful coexistence between humans and monsters. Meanwhile, in El Dorado, Demon Lord Leon has been working toward his own goals. The episode shows that all these different storylines are starting to come together.
What to Expect from the Episode
Episode 20 focuses heavily on revealing the truth about Chronoa’s identity and her connection to Chloe and Hinata. The episode also shows the aftermath of Chronoa’s resurrection and how the different factions react to this new threat.
The episode title, “Chronoa the Hero, Part One,” suggests that this story will continue into the next episode. Viewers should expect Episode 21 to pick up right where this one leaves off, likely showing more of the confrontation between the Demon Lords and Chronoa.
The animation quality continues to be strong, with dynamic camera work that helps viewers feel the speed and power of the magical attacks. The series has maintained its high production values throughout Season 4, and Episode 20 is no exception.
