​@@jasonfreddie1276 I agree with this take

[@Nj_On_crack]

​@Javian Brown I also agree. Cuz they can be the worst shit you have ever watched or the best thing you have ever watched. Shadow of Eminence was a good pick because it's easily one of the top 15 best animes to have come out in the past 10 years

Rimuru’s demon lord arc (from the attack on Tempest to Walpurgis) was such a brutal flex. Everything was so sad but the brutal and one-sided crunch from Rimuru and his subordinates was a pleasing flex. Megiddo was devastating. But most of all, the Claymen’s punishment was so deserved and satisfying. Reading it in the LN was merciless and Claymen deserved every bit of it.

Rimuru still sucks

@@Literally___Me you must think JoJos and Dragon Ball is peak anime 😂

[@weredraco]

You seen the the Clayman spinoff, "Clayman's Revenge"? After Walpurgis, Clayman wakes up several decades before Rimuru first arrived with memories of his previous life. He dismisses it as a dream, but after dying at the same event and waking back up in the past for a 2nd time, realises that he's gained a skill that grants him additional lives by sending him back through time. In his current attempt, he's actually treating his subjects as people instead of tools, Yamza isn't cocky and actually trains, Clayman actually trained and got stronger, and just an overall upgrade for everyone's lives. Rimuru hasn't been reincarnated yet, nor has he met Yuki.

The sound design for "Eminence in Shadow" and "That time I reincarnated as a slime" is AMAZING. You can feel the flex, the impact of the moment.

[@kevinchong5424]

Rimuru releasing Megiddo was so satisfying, due to all the emotions that have been building up. Hakurou said it best: they angered someone they never should have

And the best part is that he gets even stronger 5 minutes later, then like a year or two after that he becomes one of the strongest beings to exist in the Teraverse.

[@eddoh2701]

Truth be told, that was an "Get OWN" not a flex

[@deltalord6969]

A personal favorite flex of mine is ainz's royal procession. It was like a multi layered flex too from using a spell to freeze the mud around the area so he doesnt need to walk in it to having a giant golem come out just to throw a cube to having magic armor skeletons as a staircase. Showing the lizard men the true power of nazarick!

[@deltalord6969]

Day 89 of asking for a grand assassin Hassan servant review

[@WanderTheNomad]

That actually seems like a relatively minor flex in comparison to other things that happen in Overlord

[@pedroviniciuspreiswelter4710]

What I love even more of that scene is that in the novel they make it clear that Ainz chose those troops to mislead his possible enemies on his army's strength. He chose troops that would flex on the weak Lizardmen but not show all his cards to the ones that mind controlled Shalltear. Other than the guardians he basically brought the C-team and it was still that much of a flex.

[@im7254]

the baby goats summon that killed 180k enemies after most anyone expected was maybe 1k was another flex

[@NicholasJScott]

Counter point: Ainz instant killing like half a fucking army going "WORLD RECORD! NEAT" and producing to summon Lovecraftian creatures to kill the rest. Like that army was already done seeing a good chunk of their men drop like flies but then Ainz had to summon monsters USING THE SOULS OF THE ARMY HE JUST MERCHED. Mate won the battle but was like "now onto stage 2 of my plan!" And then produce to one shot that Nation strongest soilder like it nothing.

[@spamuel98]

Rimuru's spell is the most satisfying flex in any isekai for one sole reason; the producers let it build up. Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't watched that far and actually cares. They didn't just declare war on Tempest while he was away, they sent the strongest swordswoman in the world, a master of direct attacks to the soul, to kill Rimuru, or at least stall him on his way back to Tempest from Ingrassia. While he was busy trying to avoid seven attacks from her sword, each one directly hitting his soul and guaranteeing death on the seventh blow, Falmuth sent summoned otherworlders to stir up trouble in town. Trouble they kicked off by accusing Gobzo of assaulting one of them, a girl named Kirara. Typical false attempted rape accusation, which Gobta completely brushed off with the help of Shion and Shuna pulling up at the last moment. Shuna anti'd Kirara's ability, which forced people to obey her commands (she'd just ordered Gobta and Gobzo to die). Her two companions then started a fight with Gobta and Shion, which they were about to lose, when Falmuth's army put up a barrier that reduced the abilities of any monsters inside. Cue Shion now struggling with her fight, while Hakuro jumps in to help after Gobta gets stabbed through the gut and has his face stomped on because sword prick is a douche. Hakuro goes down with another gut slash, Shion's bruised and beaten, and now Falmuth's army rides in with their leader shouting how he came to see this nation of monsters, and found them attacking their citizens. Falmuth's army charges through the center of town, killing everyone who gets in the way, and Shion takes a sword to the back when she dives out to protect a little girl caught in the middle of the street. Rimuru gets back to town to find the city trashed, dozens wounded, and all of his closest friends and advisors trying to keep him from going to the square. Once he finally gets them to show him what's going on, he sees dozens of dead citizens laid out in the square, with Shion and Gobzo at the front, after one of his first rules laid down for the settlement was not to attack humans. And this was over around EIGHT EPISODES, eight weeks of watching this injustice and bullshit build up, hoping to see it all come crashing down, and it finally did with the biggest bitchslap in anime.

[@weldyrelloso92]

That's what I like about Tensura. Although the MC, Rimuru-sama, is overly powerful, the show is not just about him showing off his raw power but more than that it's the story. I like that in Tensura, there is emotion. I'm honestly not a fan of just mere flexing.

[@MR_BL42E]

he was really angry when he found out about his beloved Shion and he did released his power but the goblin calm him down (I forgot the goblin's name sorry for that

[@AncientBeast65]

You notice how Cid subtly increases his strength as Beatrix and Iris pushes on. - He uses his speed to see if they can actually sense and block his attacks. - He then tests their strength by using the crowbars. What's interesting is that Cid only has to use the tip of the bar to hold off Iris's sword while he had to use the other to grip against Beatrix's. - Next was to see their finesse in Magic Control. Cid off-handedly blocked Iris's sword.

[@ranaoblivious2122]

Oh, that is some nice detail.

[@xetoegaming]

A neat thing to note about Rimuru’s spell Megiddo, is that the word “Megiddo” actually has biblical roots, and is synonymous with the apocalypse and the end of the world. Not only did Rimuru descend on them like a god of death, but he brought them the apocalypse.

[@petsan97]

Not to mention, Meggido is a site, a site which in Greek is known as Armageddon. And in the very same chapter of the book of Revelation, an angel is described as pouring God's wrath upon the sun, allowing it to burn mankind. An angelic being, using a liquid to kill people with the power of the sun.

I love the story of GATE introducing a what-if scenario on how a country deals with a new world full of land and little to no pollution. There are also scenarios like enabling opportunists to try something uncanny to capture new world characters for interrogation. This anime did a great job having a modern set of characters interacting with medieval ones and the amount of flexing the military does is soo satisfying.. 😁😍

[@cpMetis]

I'm always intrigued by anime that can show the US as just another country. So much media we consume is either anglophone-made or would only bring it up in a generally positive light, then you've got a show like GATE that has no qualms about having the US as semi-antagonists nonchalantly. Bonus point to Fate for that scene with Iskandar commenting on Bill Clinton and the B2 giving similar weird feelings where its like "oh, America is actually like some eldritch god of money and might to probably much of the world" when he talks about Slick Willie in the same way he talked about other mythical magic beings. And I guess I should add the clarification that I mean it for shows where *America* is the one in question. Plenty of shows have Americans in that role but I mean it in more of a geopolitical and domestically supported way. The reason GATE's depiction comes as interesting is since the CIA guys could TOTALLY be the protagonists in a Hollywood spy thriller, like they aren't malicious, it's just governments doing government stuff, and as soon as it's clear they lost both groups just agree "yup, you got us. So what's next"

When I saw Megiddo for the first time I was still pretty shaken after the attack on Tempest. I was sad, shocked and angry at Falmuth… so when I watched the slaughter of Megiddo, I was stunned and in awe. It felt justified… and then at the harvest festival I cried out of sheer relief. Probably one of my favourite moments in anime just because of the emotional roller coaster it puts you through

funny thing is when the Anime catches up to the light novels you will see a far greater flex on just how insane Rimuru's power truly is when he stops holding back as a demon lord.

@@atk9989 Yeah I can’t wait to see what happens next, I’ve spoiled myself a little bit through the fandom page so I know what he becomes 😅

[@DemonRaticate]

The biggest flex of it imo was the fact that in their world, this is almost uncounterable. People would assume these lasers were made of magic, so would put up a barrier… and have it shoot straight through it as if the barrier wasn’t there. A mirror would do nothing cause the heat of the blast itself would shatter them, even if reflected. You would have to be one of the few beings in that world to be able to physically block a laser with no consequences to be able to survive the attack, which most living things would not have the resistances nor durability to do. Since Rimaru would never reveal what Meggido was, it would always shake the world as a mystery of an unblockable magical attack that passes through barriers, leaving most of the world feeling fear knowing that their magical defenses mean nothing.

[@harshkushwaha2831]

He knew that an army would be trouble so long as his people were still weakened by the Luminas Church's barrier. He also knew that he would have to kill a large number of humans in order to become a demon lord, and have any real chance of resurrecting his dead. Wiping out Falmuth's army solved two problems simultaneously. His hatred was reserved for those who had orchestrated the massacre: Edmalis and Clayman. He demonstrated an almost indifferent attitude toward the twenty thousand people he slaughtered.

[@anay5142]

I think part of the reason why we love it is because it can be a great set up to a story and a natural way of explaining to new world the main character and the audience have been thrown into. Plus when they do an isekai right we can end up with a banger like “Overlord”. I feel the biggest problem with isekai is even if the author creates a wonderful world and idea they end up making the main character to over powered or to loved and “smart” to the point that they don’t feel like people and you’re just watching a show about a perfect person that can’t do any wrong. However with a show like “The Eminence In Shadow” starts with an over powered character it’s still entertaining because he still has goals and getting stronger isn’t the point and he wants to be the perfect background character during the day and a final boss at night. Making it more so about him creating the perfect story for himself and the audience. Well that’s my point of view basically you can agree or not that’s ok.

[@Leonlion0305]

I think the coldest flex still has to be Rimuru's Merciless skill. The kanji for the skill is "心無者" or more literally, "the one without [a] heart" which just adds on to exactly how cold the skill is. The synchronized sound of all solders fallen just hits different. That felt more similar to when I read Overlord LN where Ainz used "Ia shub niggurath". The description of the fight was more brutal than the anime did.

[@StevenMcSteve]

I think one of my favourite parts in slime is how Rimuru dealt with Clayman, before Clayman awakened Rimuru didn't even want to fight him because he would be seen as bullying the weak, so he handed the job to Shion who decimated him, when Clayman finally awakened Rimuru decided he would actually fight him, but aside from using Beelzebub and the barrier to remove claymans chances of escaping, he used thought acceleration, a skill he's had for ages and for a while didn't seem very important, considering hakurou completely destroyed kyoya who was boasting about thought acceleration, then he used his bare fists to beat Clayman up, no skills other than thoght acceleration, just regular punches, even as an awakened demon lord Clayman didn't deserve Rimuru to use his full power

[@ultimatedragon4281]

It is worse than that. Thought Acceleration was used on Clayman, making every moment of pain and agony extend into thousands more while he received the beating... Clayman received at least a month's worth of torture in a short beating (also, Rimuru's Thought Acceleration is so many leagues ahead of that idiot who fought Hakurou that it is hard to even consider them the same skill).

[@Blade_Corps]

Rimumu's flex was cool and pleasing, but I think Shuna has the more surprising flex against Adalman because it's not expected. She never shows combat ability before we finally get to see what she can do, and while it's more of a "Nah, this is mine now" ability, it's awesome to see best girl show she's just as capable as the other Kijin.

Thought Acceleration in Anime/Manga consistently leads to some of the most savage beatings in fiction, like Giorno's 7 Page Muda making that psychopath experience that beating for (I think someone calculated) like 8 months, as well another case in Slime when Old Master waited for the other Isekaied Guy to max out his acceleration just to cut off his head so he'd have weeks to think about his actions as a head.

[@m_sedziwoj]

For me one of best moments is Cid when he steps forward, and disappeared and silence. It was so great animated. And we can't forget about Tsukimichi, this one attack... "Wise Man's Grandchild" have few moments when he flexes without noting it, and it was great. "Death March" have few this moments too, but sad that anime is so short, LN is giving so much more and he still didn't learn ;)

[@Venguin143]

It's still a long ways away from animating, but I think the biggest flex in the Tensuraverse was when the Empire attacked. And instead of killing them, Rimuru actually RESURRECTED the dead soldiers of the empire.

[@johnathanaderholt733]

Do not forget that he took away their magic and skills

[@filiperodrigues97]

The most incredible part is that the SLAUGHTER started when Rimuru simply said to his subordinates "do not hold back", that made them look like they were using 10% of their power, not to mention they were deliberately taking damage just for the lulz xD And do not forget that the resurrected enemies started worshiping Rimuru as a god afterwards

My vote has to go to Arifureta during the invasion on the capitol. The demons were confident that they could win with their army, but it was pretty much over when Hajime jumps into the arena and sees that his friend was dead. This man has pulled out miniguns, rocket launchers, railguns, a god damn nuclear sub in the past but all he pulls out is this little glass orb. Which turned out to be the controller for a god damn orbital laser as he proceeds to give the army of monsters and invading demons a taste of the hammer of dawn. Like, bruh-

For those unfamiliar, in Reincarnated as a Slime the World is like a living thing. It has a voice, and it bestows skills not unlike how Aincrad does in Sword Art. If you're the fastest thing alive, you have a special skill, etc. If you can propel water from your mouth at a high rate, you can eventually get a skill that allows full manipulation of water. So Rimuru became so efficient at killing and causing fear, he got a Skill that caused instant death if you lost morale. In a world where there are other demon lords, he's the only one who caused that skill to manifest.

[@SxnisterKing]

Pretty sure it got used to make a new ability during his transformation as well so he used it once if he still had it then I think clayman would be dead sooner than later in the battle at the meeting 😂

[@SparkTheKirin]

@@SxnisterKing According to the Manga (from what I recall and read in summary from a friend), he can actually still use Merciless, but it's just a feature of Beelzebub now. If he attempts to absorb someone with no will to fight, he can choose to suck their soul out. It's part of his reasoning for doing Clayman so dirty, he wanted that outcome so he could use Merciless, repaying Clayman's actions or something.

[@SparkTheKirin]

@@SxnisterKing To go a little further, Great Sage used Degenerate to merge itself with the Degenerate ability. It sacrificed the original skill and took on its powers, freeing up Rimuru's skill list for future powers, but losing none of his potential. It then used this new method of Degenerate's power and petitioned WotW for Beelzebub, merging Merciless with its new powers of sep/syn. Basically Sage created a broken ass skill that lets her maintain and recreate any power that Rimuru witnesses or ever uses. See: The fight at Walpurgis.

[@SxnisterKing]

@@SparkTheKirin true… you on about rimuru copying guy’s room barrier skill right? It surprised me by only seeing it once rimuru was able to copy it so if he can do that then can he also copy other abilities by just seeing them?

@@Kiwizs177 Merciless is a unique skill, it's referred to as such in both the manga and anime, the wiki also agrees so it should be the same in the WN and LN.

[@JonathanKayne]

Im a bit disappointed you didn't cover some of the reasons rimuru used Megiddo specifically. The light novel explains that the army had a barrier that blocked magic attacks. The genius about Megiddo is that the only magic involved is the wayer lenses which in and of itself are harmless and thus pass through the barrier. It uses magic to great a magnifying glass which is akin to striking a match instead of casting a fireball.

Never heard of Gate but need to check it out now. "Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World" had a similar flex where Mitsuha brought a Private Military Company into another world to help her fight off an invading army. The enemy had spent years and a fortune to assemble an army of monsters and the world's first wyvern air cavalry and it was priceless seeing them all get wiped out in moments by modern weapons. Cid's flexes really make me love Eminence in Shadow. That final battle carries more impact when you really understand what it does to the Princess. She's someone who has known power all her life, naturally being politically powerful as a princess and being so gifted with a sword had her besting instructors at a young age. She's never known what it's felt like to be powerless. She got her first taste during her first encounter with Alpha but now against Cid, she knows what absolute powerlessness feels like. Based on some spoilers I've read about future story arcs, it's going to make things VERY interesting with the Princess. Rimeru taking out that army is so awesome. I absolutely love that one clip you showed where a guy was running from the king's tent and just got struck down. This guy, the General, was running out to execute a plan that would sacrifice the remaining soldiers but hopefully get the king and himself out of there alive. King was optimistic and hopeful as he watched his General run out, only for him to suddenly and unceremoniously drop dead. The King's breakdown afterwards was priceless. As for additional flexes, a favorite of mine probably not mentioned much is at the end of "Tsukimichi - Moonlit Fantasy" where Makoto is fighting against a powerful warrior woman and her dragon companion so he unleashes all of his power on them to "annoy them". The end result was a massive blast of water and ice magic that not only created a new lake but froze the human and demon armies that were waiting to clash once Makoto's battle was concluded. Don't think he intended to end that battle before it began but it was still a hell of a flex.

Tsukimichi was a hell bunch of fun to watch. My favorite parts were when they tell the MC that he was so terrifying that when you look at him, it's like you're looking at dozens of demon lords at once, and when he put a ring that's "so powerful that it may kill you by draining all your mana", they looked at him and said "hey it's working! Now you've got rid of 1 demon lord!" Also that part when he slowly kills the woman responsible for the death of two of his villagers because of her greed. He was savage, like an evil monster to her, so satisfying!

As someone who plays Persona and knows that one of the max dmg spells you can get (aside form DLC only ones and Lucifer's exclusive "Morning Star" ability) is called Megidolaon, I knew exactly what was going on when Rimuru used it.

To get old school, Lina Inverse's casting of Giga Slave(I think in season 2 of Slayers). She later seals the spell off because casting it risks destroying the world. It's enormously overpowered compared to its predecessor, Dragon Slave, which is merely able to destroy a city in a single cast (and is, worryingly, Lina's signature spell.)

[@Ssilencer]

one of my fav flexes is Rimuru's vs the army of 20,000 because he showed them and all the other kingdoms why you don't want to piss him off, he also took away their magic with an anti-magic area, then he says cool lines especially "May the Wrath of the Gods Pierce You" before firing off Megiddo.

I feel like Rimerus flex is so impactful is because... its cathartic. Rimeru felt incredibly responsible for what happened to the village by not being there and having the arbitrary do no harm rule. And then we as the viewer find out there wasn't really even a reason they attacked Tempus it was mostly prejudice against Monsters and pure greed. And for Rimeru to not only get revenge but to bring back the fallen AND to get stronger to protect everyone better they're motivations feel so much more palpable and real.

Honestly the fact that Rimuru was able to keep up with Milim, one of the eldest and most powerful demon lords in existance, during their combat shows just how powerful he really became. Milim may not have actually been trying to kill him, but she went after him all the same to keep up the appearance. At the same time, Rimuru went full defense, making sure he would not harm Milim, so he wasn't fighting in earnest either. I think that an actual death battle between them could actually end up with quite a few maps being rendered useless.

My heart is split between Rimuru and Ainz but there's something about Overlord that just gives me chills and an indescribable high. Maybe because of its dark and twisted sense of humor often portrayed by Momonga's Ainz persona (and its appearance) as well as the denizens of Nazarick, particularly Albedo and Demiurge. The flexes Ainz and Nazarick did, from scheming up to just full blown showcase of magical or military power is why I would put it at the top.

A nice flex i still remember from a good isekai was weirdly from the bookworm isekai. At the end of the last season right after getting adopted Mein decided to give everyone a blessing as a farewell, even in the downgraded version of the anime it was pretty good, she basically channeled a new analogue blessing spell praying to all the main gods (when normally you would just use a specific god you have affinity with for a specific blessing, because people usually aren't liked by more than one, and even in the case of meeting the requirements of more than one favor with the gods that would still just break the spell), on top of it not breaking, this bless ended up being so strong that it's effects would still have ramifications towards the end of the series many years later. She had other flexes too like regrowing plant life in the barren area a bit earlier and much bigger flexes later in the LN, but the anime hasn't caught up to those points yet. Other notable flexes: in tsuki michi, where the Makoto released his power after Sofia blocked the godess from watching him, thinking that it would weaken him, and then at the end almost wiped out both armies at war, completely changing the landscape and spawning a new religion about him with one attack just because he was annoyed that the two surprise attacked him and cut of his finger.

One interesting note is that in Gate the vassal states weren't given any information because with so much of its own army destroyed the empire was worried about the vassals rebelling after finding out. If the vassal army took the gate again, it was a win but if they were wiped out it was also a win of sorts for the empire. The best case scenario for the empire was for the vassals to take the gate but to have been so mauled doing so that they'd be in no position to take advantage of the empires weakness afterwards.

[@KevinVideo]

Seeing "Gate" get mentioned made me incredibly happy. Nightvision goggles are incredibly effective against imperial enemies of the past. I definitely enjoy a lot of isekai, and there are some amazing flexes from OP characters. Most of mine are from the manga adaptations though, and I hope to some day see them brought to anime. My current favourite flex is from "Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers". MC is fairly docile, only using his powers to stop fights by breaking the will of his opponents. He doesn't want to kill anyone. However, when a demon of nearly unparalleled powers shows up and his beloved takes an attack that was meant for him, the MC snaps and wrecks the demon, again and again, telling the demon that he'll continually be healed until the MC's rage has been satisfied. The MC even coldly asks the demon how long does he think that'll be as they're both practically immortal and the rage runs deep. To which the demon begs for forgiveness while continuously coughing up blood only to be healed yet again.

[@19chucki74]

A nice flex of mine, is in episode 7 of Parallel World Pharmacy, when a member of the holy church leads Pharma outside of the kingdom, to be confronted by battle priests, who heard of his godlike powers.

However, I must say, that isn't even Rimuru's biggest flex, just the biggest so far seen in the anime. Spoilers up ahead, read at ur own discretion In the later parts of the novel, (as usual) the Empire (strongest military might in that world in terms of military troops) decides to invade Tempest. They thought rimuru is a weak demon lord that used veldora's annilation of the 10k army to become a demon lord (where as it is actually rimuru using veldora as his scapegoat to say Veldora suddenly resurrected and killed all the soldiers in order to not have humans fear him). Long story short, Rimuru uses his tactics and defeats the Empire's 700 k army without a single loss. Thats not the big flex tho, he then resurrects all 700k of the army, and use them as evidence and stuffs to make the empire pay (and also free labour to rebuilt). I did not specify too much as that would be a big spoil. It was even more shocking when they realised who Rimuru's forces are made up of [he has 4/7 of the primordial demons who are demons that throw around nuclear level magic for fun as his subordinates](for background info, Guy is 1 of the primordial demons who is 1 of the strongest in the world, and even he only managed to get 2 primordial as his subordinates) I shall not say more...

So not only did he massacre them, but the spell was named the place of the end. Essentially, saying the place of your death, you 20,000 pitiful souls. So, with that name, he made it feel like Armageddon. Everything he did with that spell, including its name, was to make it it terrifying. The name definitely fits, too.

I see all isekai here except the second one. I like war, nations politics and some parts of fantasy without so much clichés so GATE, Youjo Senki and I got recarnated as a Slime are some of the perfects animes for me.

The first encounter between Shalltear and Brain. She could’ve dodged or blocked Brain’s katana, but what does she do? She wraps her arm around the sword and holds it in place with only her fingertips. Then proceeds to parry every attack using only her fingernail while yawning.

I was genuinely amazed when he fought her again that he actually managed to break her nail. That showed just how powerful Brain was. And yet, he was still nothing next to Nazarik.

So glad Rimaru got some recognition.

You know, the reason beatrix was able to parry Shadow's second camoflague strike, was because it had stopped raining. Those who watched the anime, should get this detail.

Actually Gate had a pretty more special and a darker plot in the manga but they kept nerfing and sterilizing it in the anime eventually making it bland and identity less.

Fun fact: megiddo in japanese roughly translates to "god's anger"

[@rameshjakhar1105]

"the misfit of the demon King academy" anime is just Anos flexing against his opponents 💀
