“Ideals are just a bunch of raving without power to back them up, and power is just kind of a vacant void without ideals to back it up, isn’t it?”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 6

“In this cruel world, what was justice without strength?”
― Fuse, 転生したらスライムだった件 11 [Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 11]

“Enough. Silence.
This charade is over. I cannot enjoy a battle of wits if you neglect to bring any with you to the contest.

—Diablo to King Edward”
― Fuse, 転生したらスライムだった件~魔物の国の歩き方~ 7

“If you love someone, after all, you want to leave something behind for them.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 8

“Diablo had rounded up this band of standout demons for his plan—and Rimuru, oblivious to all this, just casually gave them names after a moment’s thought, an incredibly reckless move. As a result, every demon reborn here had obtained power beyond the natural ways of the world. They were now an unimaginable force, a great assemblage of demons feared by all. Despite numbering less than a thousand, they were an army all by themselves. They would later come to be known as the Black Corps, Tempest’s most powerful military and a horrifying symbol of fear. And the Black Corps was born the moment they were unleashed from their capsules.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“People can be very strange creatures [...] They all must work together to survive, and yet they can't resist building class systems among themselves. And if two groups of them live next to each other, they continually squabble until one proves itself superior to the other.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 9

“Being a grown-up is knowing how to balance social responsibilities like that. In a way, you want to avoid making a one hundred percent effort in the workplace, because then that’ll be expected of you every time. A real performer knows how to execute a “full effort” they can provide on a regular basis. Work’s supposed to be fun anyway.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“Video games hold closed beta sessions all the time, after all; maybe launching without a rehearsal wasn’t such a great idea.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Light Novels, Vol. 10

“Now these seven hundred were prostrating themselves before me. Most of them were Lesser Demons to start with, but with a name and a physical body, they had evolved into Greater Demons. As expected, they had all gained enough magicules to be firmly A-ranked territory, and now I had seven hundred of them at my beck and call. Not that I’m one to talk, but something about this screamed “stat inflation” to me. Some of them even looked for all the world like Arch Demons. Did I just have another oops moment? It was simply astonishing. I mean, the first three alone—Testarossa, Ultima, and Carrera—were more than enough already. But it was too late to turn back now. Let’s pretend that I didn’t notice anything. That was probably the best way to preserve my sanity.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“When people lacked food, they got angry, and that anger was directed at the people who started the war. There was nothing easier than riling up the unintelligent masses.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Light Novels, Vol. 10

“This is exactly why world domination is such a stupid idea. I don’t think you get a single chance to take it easy if you’re in a ruling position. Now I understood why the other demon lords didn’t seem to care much about lands outside their boundaries. If you wind up inadvertently taking over some destitute area or another, you’re obligated to address whatever people are dissatisfied about there. People talk about eliminating disparities like it’s easy, but from the eyes of the one doing it, it never went that way.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“The seven of them all bowed their heads and swore their fealty, the choir of seven hundred behind them doing the same. Seven hundred demons lying prostrate before you is quite a sight, let me tell you. Diablo observed the spectacle, smiling and nodding. He scares me. The fact that he was my ally made me breathe an internal sigh of relief. I’m so glad he’s on my team.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“Unfortunately, it was an ironclad rule of life that the hardest-working people tended to be the ones who lost out in the end. If you blow the whistle and warn about the dangers ahead, it’s usually your job to clean up the mess that results—something Beretta was about to learn the hard way.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 8

“It is best to take advantage of information while it is still valuable, is it not?”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 9

“Cuisine, after all, is culture itself. If a nation doesn’t have a vibrant, expansive food culture, then if you ask me, what’s the point? Out of the three basic needs—food, clothing, and shelter—food was number one by far to me, although your mileage may vary.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 8

“A person’s value lies in the way they live. Strength, or weakness, didn’t mean anything. Someone who seemed useless now could someday awaken to their talents in one field or another. It was up to each person, and not someone else, to decide their own value. Rimuru was trying to say that, and Shion understood—and when she did, she realized just how foolish it was to envy others.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“The samurai leader asked Captain Algren, “Do you believe a man can change his destiny?” Captain Algren thinks about if for a second, and he replies, “I think a man does what he can, until his destiny is revealed.”

“I am ready to serve, Sir Rimuru. And should push come to shove, I will leave no evidence of my involvement.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“Gaster’s eyes widened in astonishment. The bullet that was supposed to pierce Testarossa’s body was stopped by a single, delicate index finger. This was a bullet fired at three times the speed of sound, packed to the gills with magic force—but that magic never released itself. Instead, it was helplessly plucked out of the air and discarded, like she was playing with some cheap toy.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Vol. 13 (light novel) (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

“Only Vester, who showed up later than the others, could be found in the corner whispering “I see nothing, ha-ha-ha, nothing. I know nothing; I’m not involved in this…” The way he was slapping himself on the head and talking incoherently made me feel a little sorry for the guy, but let’s just pretend I didn’t see that.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“Ah, right. I’ve been wondering—would you three mind not calling me Blanc, or the Original White or whatnot?” “What…?” “I mean, you know, I’ve got a name now—it’s Testarossa. I’d really hate it if you didn’t use it, you see?” The statement was a peal of despair for Davis and his team. “Wait… A name? A name?” “Testarossa… Some fool gave a Primal a name?!” “First an incarnation, then a name…” This was unprecedented. Suddenly, their position wasn’t looking so good after all.”

“Word of what happened today must’ve spread fast around the world, because somewhere along the line, I had been given the nickname Rimuru the Chaos Creator. This was fine. I decided to go with it.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Vol. 14

“Common sense never applied to magic-born. Some could take weights of several tons and just heft them on their shoulders, all by themselves. Any scrap material or rock could be pulverized with a single fist. Flight was a given with these guys, so safety at lofty heights was never a concern. Any regulations drafted with humans in mind simply didn’t apply.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“We’re talking a complete lack of fundamentals. No risk management. But at least those fools were smart enough to form groups. Because just when you think you’ve run into the biggest idiot, another one comes along to show that you’re nowhere near rock bottom yet. Yes, some were even tackling the whole Dungeon solo. That’s beyond reckless and well into the realm of hopeless.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Light Novels, Vol. 10

“With a light shake of her head, her eyes opened—and that was the signal for the free-for-all to begin.”
― Fuse, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Light Novel), Vol. 11

“So the imperial army took this opportunity to reorganize their forces inside the labyrinth—and with that, they stepped forward into an even greater hell.”

“A dark gale rushed across the battlefield. With it, a destructive sonic boom slammed itself against the tank troops. The shock wave included the magical effect of the Storm of Destruction skill. Gradually, the storm grew to a tornado, a Dragonstorm of Destruction whose well-calculated movements were honed for maximum enemy casualties. That was Dance with Wolves, Gobta’s fearsome anti-army annihilator.”

“Well, don’t make them do anything rash, okay?” “I’m afraid that’s impossible. In war, if you want to win, it’s the polite thing to give it your all.”

“You could tell because they had clothing on with slogans like SHION FAN CLUB!! and SHION 4 LIFE on them. That’s them, all right. Ever since Shion beat the crap out of them, they’d become her biggest fans. Maybe this was some form of masochistic fetish they’d developed after getting their asses handed to them—I don’t know; that’s not a world I want to get intimate with.”
