Formerly an Ogre, Shion evolved through the help of Rimuru into a Kijin and then into an Oni, leading to massive differences in power and physical traits.

Shion is a specialist at close combat and an immensely powerful melee fighter characterised by her impressive brute strength and swordsmanship.

Geld stands out among Rimuru’s followers as one of the strongest, especially as the Orc King. Now filling the position once held by his father, Geld’s power is comparable to the former Orc King.

Although certainly not the strongest of Rimuru’s subordinates, his physical strength and size are intimidating enough. With extra skills like being able to enhance his strength, use the earth as a tool, and manipulate his opponent’s actions through their thoughts, Geld is strong enough to wipe out a whole town or village.

11 Hakurou

Species: Oni

Benimaru’s personality may not match his ability, but it’s clear from the way he carries himself that he knows how capable he is. He’s also proud enough to avoid engaging those he considers to be beneath his level in strength, skills, and fighting ability.

9 Hinata Sakaguchi

Species: Divine Human

As a Demon Lord, she is capable of an Ultimate Skill as required and immensely proficient at using Holy magic, making her a special S-Rank monster.

2 Guy Crimson

Species: Daemon

  • Strongest Ability: Lucifer, Lord of Pride

Guy Crimson’s relaxed nature doesn’t quite match his strength and reputation as one of the strongest in the world of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Guy Crimson has the kind of strength that Luminous Valentine claimed is enough, at full capacity, to destroy humanity completely.

Even Rimuru acknowledges that Guy Crimson’s power is untouchable and beyond the level of most individuals. He uses the ultimate skill called Lucifer, which evolved from the ultimate skill called Pride after he fought the Frost Dragon, Velzard.
