Meeting the Goblins is the second episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Original Japanese Version) season 1. It follows the story of a man who was reincarnated into a slime in a fantasy world and his journey to becoming a powerful entity.
In this episode, the slime, known as Rimuru, explores the forest and meets a group of goblins. The goblins are initially hostile to Rimuru, but he manages to communicate with them using his unique ability called "Predator". With this power, Rimuru can analyze any creature he devours and gain its knowledge and abilities. He puts this ability to use and gains the ability to understand the goblin language.
With the ability to communicate with the goblins, Rimuru learns that they are being threatened by a clan of direwolves, who are constantly attacking their village and stealing their food. Rimuru decides to help the goblins and, using his "Predator" ability, devours a few of the wolves. This not only allows him to gain their abilities but also sends a message to the rest of the wolves that the goblins are not an easy target.
Rimuru devises a plan to trick the rest of the wolves by creating an illusion of a giant predator with his "Unique Skill" ability, which scares them off. He then helps the goblins fortify their village and teaches them some basic fighting skills.
As the night falls, Rimuru rests in the goblin village. The leader of the goblins, a tough-looking goblin named Gobta, approaches Rimuru and thanks him for his help. He asks Rimuru if he can become their leader, to which Rimuru agrees. With this, the goblins pledge their loyalty to Rimuru, and he sets out to explore the forest and gain more allies.
Overall, Meeting the Goblins is an exciting episode that introduces some new characters and sets the stage for Rimuru's journey. Viewers get to see Rimuru's problem-solving abilities, his unique traits, and his willingness to help those in need. This episode also sets up the future plotline for the series and leaves viewers curious to see what lies ahead.
