    He's had regeneration since the very start of the series.

    Back when he was still trapped in the cave he hurt himself smashing into a rock and took 10% damage, and a few seconds later, he healed.

    I'm mildly surprised at Treyni's support of this country, since building a nation doesn't exactly conserve forests - which you'd think would be her primary focus. The well-being of its inhabitants should come a close second.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    What choice does she have? If she supports Rimuru, whom she knows can be reasoned with and who is looking after all kinds of creatures, not just his own like is usually the case, she can at least hope Rimuru would be willing to protect the nature as well. If she opposed the alliance and Rimuru, it would be just a big chaos. Perhaps she might hope the monsters would kill each others, or something, but that would be quite cheap after Rimuru saved the forest from the crazed orc horde. Treyni isn't looking only after the trees and treants, perhaps. Maybe she thinks the monsters are a part of the natural fauna. Certainly they ought to be better than to have humans take over, which might happen without the monsters.

    Why is 'she' in the ending? Rubbing it in that we lost her or spoiling that she's not dead after all?

    I wouldn't put too much faith in the OPs or the EDs regarding appearances. There are characters and events shown in the first set that we still haven't seen.

    Some far in advance of the anime, some far in advance of where the manga is right now, and presumably some up to date with the LN. Think of it more as fanservice.

    Unless this series takes a really dark turn, it's kind of soothing how smoothly things keep going for Rimuru.

    This is like watching a game of Civilization.

    Or Warcraft. Befriend new monster, gain access to new unit type.

    It's going too smoothly imho.
    150.000 orcs and they still only have like ~20 buildings availabe. The numbers are so far fetched especially since he named every single orc - which means they will probably have similar names now like "orci, borki, torki, derpi".

    I have no idea why they had to go overboard like that, these orcs would've been fine without names.

    He numbered them in the light novel.

    I think the orcs were distributed here and there in the forest, not the mass of 150,000 in a single place. It's also a really big forest, big like a whole country.

    Naming them all indeed seemed totally unnecessary, even stupid, and practically impossible. Maybe name one in a thousand to have decent leaders among them to keep them in check. Sometimes the author just doesn't think things through, or makes Rimuru a character who doesn't think things through.

    haha, that's actually funny. Too bad they didn't show that (yet) since that would flesh out Rimuru's character somewhat

    Ya, but 150k is a *huge* number... especially during medieval times. Going from basicaly a few thousands to this in mere days/hours is insane.
    It's also insane to assume that they have the logistics to manage a population like that and distribute them "evenly".

    The current refugee crisis is like 0,x% of that in relative numbers.
    While we have troubles with a mere percentile (1 refugee every 10.000 inhabitants or something), they have to deal with a 100% increase in population (if you count the lizards) a 10000% increase (or whatever) if you don't... and I really doubt the pigs/orcs will live in the marches considering how they struggled moving in there.

    I think this issue was brushed aside way to easily for the moment. It's not like they have the stockpiles necessary and ready. You can't just increase your harvest like that - no one would've been prepared for that.

    I don't know if the author needs such a large population later in the story for something or if the author is thoughtless, but such is this story. In the end, it's hardly the first thing that would make little sense.

    Those orcs will be cannon fodder so ...

    I also can't imagine where they'll be getting their food from. These orcs already ruined their own land from all ressources. 150k orcs going into a forest to eat? Forest dead in 3 days :/

    The migration issues IRL don't really apply to this world though. For one, they are all basically Rimuru's minions and will follow his every command, and their world has magic potions and whatnot. Magic can fix anything!

    Also, large forests easily support waaaay more than 150k creatures. Just don't burn down or chop the trees needlessly. The largest forest in our world, the Amazon Rainforest, is about 15 times the size of Germany. Who knows how large an isekai magical forest is.

    Large forest that are as large as half a continent, like the rainforest, maybe..
    Considering that the orcs traveled here on foot in mere days and the overall distance between cities we've seen so far however... no, no way.

    How far was Dwagon away again? 3 days?

    Well, as has been said, it's clearly not the only thing that made little sense... but it's strikes me as immature worldbuilding when they bring these numbers in like it's nothing special.
    What I'm saying is.. I'm pretty sure this show would've been just as enjoyable, maybe even more so, with less inflated numbers. Even if an enemy in the future has a huge army, "huge" is still a relative term... meaning if the author wants to outnumber Rimuru's forces again, he has to go full USA level military again and all of a sudden, you are in the millions.

    And when you are in the millions, it's even more annoying to see them perish with a snap of a finger (which already happened to the orcs)

    Has it ever been mentioned how deep the forest goes? Do they even live in the center of it? Maybe it is a special forest that is huge and we haven't even seen the scope of it.

    That said, I understand your concerns about the numbers, but then again, this is OP isekai. I wouldn't be surprised if they did start bringing in millions and pawning them with a single move.

    It would be morally unfair to not name the orcs since other citizens are named. Being named as a monster is pretty much being granted citizenship to Tempest.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Dwargon was 3 or 4 weeks from the goblin village by foot. 50km/day for more than 20days, over 1000km?
    They got there faster thanks to Ranga and co.

    It's true that for naming, the idea of famillies/group/clan like Ranga and co would have been better. Each group gets a name and individuals get a second name they can decide for themselves (or given at birth). Pretty much what we have IRL.

    As for resources, well it's possible Treyni helped with that. After all there are wooden buildings. So it's not unthinkable she tolerates some hunting, harvesting and with the help of magic you get a way faster forest/resources recovery.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    I mean, animals in the forest eat other animals right? So why would Treyni be opposed to hunting for food?

    Checked for the sake of it, 2 months or more by foot. Episode 4 time 05:13 so seems to be a pretty large forest
    You are here alone again
    In your sweet insanity
    All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
    Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
    When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
