“I was delighted to be given the chance to play Zodon, a role unlike anything I have portrayed before,” Koichi Domoto told Oricon in November 2025. “I also had a wonderful time during the recording sessions. It is a great honor to participate in Slime, a series with so many fans.” Domoto added, “Whether you are a longtime follower of the franchise or someone new to it, this movie offers an exciting experience for all.”
Saori Ohnishi also spoke positively about her upcoming debut in the new slime isekai anime movie: “I am very happy to join the long-loved Slime franchise through this theatrical release. Yura encounters Rimuru and his friends while they are on vacation, and a new story begins from there. But who exactly is Yura? Please find out in theaters.”
“Jies is a chancellor trusted deeply by the king and respected by the people,” Koji Yusa said about his role. “He is someone who fulfills his role with dignity. Please watch to see what kind of events he gets caught up in throughout this film.”
Release dates for the remaining Season 4 cours of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime have yet to be announced. The previous seasons, specials and first theatrical movie are available to stream on Crunchyroll.
“Corporate worker Mikami Satoru is stabbed by a random killer, and is reborn in an alternate world,” Crunchyroll’s official description of Reincarnated as a Slime reads. “But he turns out to be reborn as a slime! Thrown into this new world with the name Rimuru, he begins his quest to create a world that’s welcoming to all races.”
