Is Anyone More Powerful Than Rimuru? A Gamer‘s Perspective
As a passionate gamer who analyzes power levels across anime, I can definitively say no character surpasses Rimuru Tempest‘s might by the end of the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime light novel series. Through accumulating endless skills and achieving multiversal-tier power and godhood, Rimuru reigns supreme in his universe.
Rimuru‘s Core Power Growth Makes Him Unmatched
Rimuru starts off weak, but quickly grows overpowered via his defining skill Predator, which allows him to permanently gain the abilities of anything he swallows. This leads to an ever-expanding repertoire of deadly skills that boost his stats and hax abilities immensely:
| Power Growth Stage | Skills/Abilities Gained | Power Level |
|---|---|---|
| Early-Series | Predator, Multiple Barriers, Magic Perception | Building-Level+ |
| Mid-Series | Gluttony, Thought Acceleration | City-Level |
| Late-Series | Imaginary Space, Turn Null | Multi-Continent Level |
| End-Series | Void God Azathoth, Manas Craftsman | Multiversal+ |
With tens of thousands of abilities under his belt by the climax, Rimuru‘s power becomes frankly unfathomable. This exponential growth leaves no one able to match him.
Rimuru Defeats Multiversal Beings Like Anos and Zeno
While characters like Anos Voldigoad (Misfit of Demon King Academy) and Zeno (Dragon Ball Super) also have outrageous hax abilities and are ranked Multiversal, they critically lack Rimuru‘s Predator, Imaginary Space, and Turn Null skills that allow for infinite growth potential.
My analysis is that these epic battles would go as follows:
- Anos puts up a formidable fight with his conceptual destruction hax, but ultimately has no counter to being sealed by Imaginary Space, nor Rimuru gaining his powers. Rimuru victory.
- Zeno seemingly erases all of existence on a whim, but Rimuru survival hax nullify this. Rimuru‘s faster combat speed allows him to gain the jump and copy Zeno‘s broken erase power via Predator. Rimuru victory.
So while these gods could threaten universes, Rimuru‘s unlimited ceiling outdoes them. As a slime, adapting infinitely is almost a cheat code!
Rimuru Surpasses His Own Universe‘s Powers as a Supreme Deity
Within Rimuru‘s cosmology, only Veldanava and Manas Ciel are considered above him initially. But by series end, Rimuru surpasses all competition by:
- Consuming 15 Demon Lords and gaining their reality-warping abilities
- Predating arch-nemesis Hinata, who could freeze time and deal holy damage
- Uniting with Manas Ciel to access the literal data bank of the universe
- Reincarnating as a Supreme Deity, gaining total domain over space-time
This essentially allows Rimuru to alter reality on a fundamental level with thought alone. Broken! With feats like rewinding and freezing time on a multiversal scale, Rimuru‘s power becomes truly immeasurable.
In Conclusion: Rimuru is the Pinnacle of Growth Potential
Very few protagonists have the toxic combo of absorbing any ability to exponentially upgrade while also achieving multiversal godhood. This interplay creates virtually no ceiling for Rimuru, as he can clone himself to farm predation of higher beings ad infinitum.
By consuming the most powerful opponents reality can offer and rewriting the laws of existence to his whim, Rimuru Tempest undoubtedly reigns supreme not just in his own series, but against the battledome of all fiction. As a slime fan, it is insanely gratifying seeing Rimuru utterly dominate in this manner while keeping his goofy personality intact!
