Fans looking for epic fantasy anime to watch will find these titles among the best-ever animated.
Surprisingly, the anime revealed a unique perspective on this “slime’s” capabilities. In Season 2 of the anime, Rimuru evolved to become a True Demon Lord after consuming the souls of thousands of enemy soldiers. With this new upgrade, Rimuru is now more powerful with upgraded abilities. Here is a list of Rimuru's most powerful abilities.
Updated May 6, 2024, by Emedo Destiny: With the third season of The Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime now airing, the famous slime monarch of the Tempest Jura Federation, Rimuru Tempest, is also back. While there typically is not much to look at when considering that he is supposed to be just a slime. However, Rimuru has become more than just a slime through the series. Evolving to become a True Demon Lord in an intense situation to save his people, Rimuru's capabilities have more than multiplied, and with it came all new powerful abilities. In this regard, these are some of the most powerful abilities of the Tempest Federation's monarch.
15 Multidimensional Barrier
Ability Type: Extra Skill
The Multidimensional Barrier is a skill obtainable only by those who have achieved an ultimate skill like Rimuru. The skill, however, boasts more defensive capabilities rather than offensive. The multidimensional barrier can be used to obtain an absolute defense when combined with an active Multilayer Barrier and Dimension Fault. The absolute defense makes it foolproof against any attack, regardless of its nature.
The Barrier's efficiency could surpass Uriel's Absolute Guard. A rather interesting feature of the Barrier is that its durability is directly dependent on the combat intelligence of its user. The implication is that it will remain foolproof as long as its user can analyze the nature of the incoming attack while simultaneously adjusting the barrier level.
14 Imaginary Collapse
Ability Type: Ultimate Skill
The Imaginary Collapse, also known as the Nothingness Collapse, is an ultimate skill used by Rimuru and was only previously used by the ancient Veldanava, the first True Dragon and father to Demon Lord Milim Nava. Imaginary Collapse allows its user to produce and constantly exploit the ultimate destructive energy through magic.

Although this is how the True Dragons rank amongst themselves, they hold the top spot in That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime.
This energy is powerful enough even to cause damage to its user and, if used correctly, is capable of causing endless destruction. The skill can also evolve into Imaginary Supply, which allows Rimuru, through Ciel's help, to share Imaginary Collapse with the strongest of his subordinates.
13 Space-Time Domination
Ability Type: Extra Skill
Space-time domination is a skill that's not specific to Rimuru alone, but Diablo and Zegion are also capable of using it. The Space-Time Domination skill allows its user complete control of the elements of Space and Time.
It allows its user to bend both elements to their will, also allowing them to perform Instant motion and Space-Time connection rather quickly. The implication of this is that the user can achieve movement akin to instant teleportation if they so wish, among other subsets of skills like the Time Warp, Dimension Fault, and Time Stop.
12 Dragon Spirit Haki
Ability Type: Intrinsic Skill
The Dragon Spirit Haki is an intrinsic skill available to True Dragons, which is what Rimuru is. The skill allows him to imbue his dragon aura with magical properties, letting him exert spiritual pressure on his opponents and causing them actual physical damage unless they can defend against it.
When used to its full capacity, the user's aura can destroy everything it comes into contact with. However, other dragons have an immunity to the skill as they can also use it themselves. The only known way to defend against this skill when the opponent is not a dragon is through sheer force of will.
11 Shub-Niggurath, Lord of Abundance
Ability Type: Ultimate Skill
Made from the Essence of Uriel, remaining after the skill was given to Velrynd, Shub-Niggurath is another of Rimuru's ultimate skills. Shub-Niggurath is divided into other subskills, such as the Skill Creation, which allows Rimuru to create new skills based on the data available to him.

Anime characters are notorious for their overpowered abilities. But across the anime world, which of these powers are the strongest?
There's also Skill Duplication, which enables Rimuru to recreate skills on which he has a complete analysis. Another subskill is Skill Gifting, which allows him to grant skills to a designated target, depending on the target's compatibility. The final subskill of this skill is skill storage, which enables Rimuru to store the data of all the skills he can analyze to be recreated later.
10 Universal Detect
Ability Type: Intrinsic / Extra Skill
In a world where constant battles are fought, heightened senses are required since they can help turn the tides of battles and determine the enemy's location early enough to make a counterattack. Rimuru's perceptive ability is a great addition to match his already overpowered set of battle skills.
Rimuru's perceptive ability is Universal Detect. This magical skill allows Rimuru to have not only heightened vision and battle senses but also ultra-sensitive magical perception. At different points in the series, Rimuru could perceive approaching enemies even at a far distance.
9 Teleportation Magic
Ability Type: Magic
-8.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=500&dpr=2)
Even in anime, it is rare to discover characters with teleportation abilities. Regardless, Rimuru possesses Teleportation Magic, not just the regular kind, but an extremely powerful one capable of moving thousands of individuals. This skill was revealed in Season Two of the anime.
During Rimuru’s clash with the Demon Lord Clayman, he needed to mobilize his army to go against Clayman’s. As a last resort, Rimuru moved thousands of fighters to the Animal Kingdom using a powerful Teleportation spell. This ability is powerful because it can ambush Kingdoms and wipe out countries using a well-coordinated battle strategy.
8 Telepathy
Ability Type: Common Skill
-9.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=500&dpr=2)
Telepathy is more than an added advantage in a world where there are no mobile phones or advanced communication devices; it is an extremely powerful skill depending on how it is used. The ability doesn't look so great at first, but on a closer look at how Rimuru uses it to contact his allies, the worth is priceless.
For instance, during large-scale battles or a war consisting of a series of different battles occurring simultaneously, Intel is important; it can change the tide of battle. The potential of Rimuru’s Telepathic Ability was witnessed in Season 1 during his battle with the High Orcs – his present subjects.
7 Resistances
Ability Type: Resist Skill
-7.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=500&dpr=2)
Rimuru possesses a set of annulation abilities, allowing him to cancel natural elements. One of its features is the ability to cancel physical attacks. Rimuru has high resistance to physical attacks; however, the true potential of this skill is utilized with Absolute Defense, which exponentially increases Rimuru's invulnerability.
Another powerful ability within Rimuru’s “Resistance” arsenal is the power to nullify pain. In summary, Rimuru can cancel the sensation of pain; so he can fight without any fear or bodily hindrance. Furthermore, Rimuru can resist Magical attacks, Spiritual attacks, and much more.
6 God’s Wrath – Megiddo
Ability Type: Physics Magic
-6.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=500&dpr=2)
Rimuru’s God’s Wrath ability is truly an ability fit for a god. In the series, the ability was only revealed once, but its effects were devastating. During Rimuru's clash with the Kingdom of Falmuth, he used God's Wrath (Megiddo), allowing fans to witness a wide-range ability that is useful for large-scale combat.
Within a few moments, God's Wrath eliminated Falmuth's large army. The ability is in the form of water droplets boosted by Rimuru's water spirit energy. These water droplets can differ in size and speed, obliterating any resistance they encounter. This ability requires low magical energy, making it frightening because it can be used multiple times without affecting Rimuru.
