New Visuals and Story Details for 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie - Tears of the Azure Sea'

The second feature film for the franchise, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie - Tears of the Azure Sea, opens in Japanese theaters today. New key visuals and a detailed story synopsis have been released.

The story moves to the underwater kingdom of Kaien, a nation that worships a Water Dragon. The priestess Yura, played by Saori Oonishi, learns of a plot to awaken the dragon and invade the surface. She flees to a resort island with a sacred flute, where she encounters Rimuru Tempest and his companions, who are on a brief vacation.

Rimuru accepts a request to help Yura return to Kaien. The visuals highlight a tense sequence where Yura and the series regular Gobta, voiced by Asuna Tomari, are pursued by the minister Zodon, played by Koichi Domoto. One image shows the pair at a resort lookout during the magic hour.

The film features the full returning voice cast, including Miho Okasaki as Rimuru, Tomoaki Maeno as Veldora, M・A・O as Shion, and Lynn as Luminous. The theme song "Utopia" is performed by TRUE.

Production is handled by studio 8bit, with Yasuhito Kikuchi directing. The story is based on an original concept and is fully supervised by the series' original author, Fuse.

The previous film, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie - Scarlet Bond, was released in 2022. It drew over one million viewers in Japan and earned 1.4 billion yen. The main TV anime series is confirmed for a fourth season, set to begin in April 2026.
