‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ Season 4 Episode 23 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
Fans of ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ have kept a steady weekly appointment with the anime all through its fourth season, and the countdown to the next chapter is once again underway. The isekai favorite has built its long fourth season run around Rimuru Tempest’s effort to hold together a fragile coexistence between humans and monsters, even as rivals work against him from multiple directions.
With episode 22 titled ‘Where the Soul Resides’ having already aired, attention now turns to what episode 23 will bring and when viewers everywhere can expect to see it.
When ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ Season 4 Episode 23 Releases
Episode 23 of ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ season 4 is scheduled to air on Friday, September 18, 2026, continuing the show’s established weekly rollout. This information comes from an episode guide that lists episode 23 with a September 18, 2026 date, following episode 22 on September 11 and preceding episode 24 on September 25. A separate episode schedule feed similarly confirms that episode 23 lands on Friday, September 18, 2026, sandwiched between episode 22 on September 11 and episode 24 on September 25.
The season has generally stuck to this Friday cadence, though it has not been entirely free of interruptions. Episode 22 itself premiered on Friday, September 11, 2026, directly following episode 21, which aired on Friday, September 4, 2026, keeping the season’s largely consistent Friday release pattern intact. That steady rhythm gives fans a reliable marker for when episode 23 should land, even though the franchise has occasionally shifted its schedule in the past.
Release Time for the Latest ‘Slime’ Episode
International viewers tracking the exact release window have a specific time to work from. New episodes of ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ season 4 are set to release on Fridays at 7 a.m. Pacific Time, which corresponds to 10 a.m. Eastern Time, on Crunchyroll. That timing has applied consistently across the season’s weekly drops, giving fans in different time zones a dependable point of reference for catching new episodes as soon as they go live.
Because the season is broken into multiple back to back cours, the pacing has stayed unusually steady for a franchise that has used shorter split cour breaks in earlier seasons. The fourth season was confirmed to run across five total cours, with the first two airing consecutively starting from the April 3, 2026 premiere. That structure explains why fans have enjoyed such a long, uninterrupted stretch of episodes this year compared to previous installments of the show.
Where to Watch ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ Season 4
Streaming access for the season has grown wider than in past years, giving viewers more than one legitimate option. Beyond Crunchyroll, the series has expanded its footprint, and the show can currently be streamed on both Netflix and Crunchyroll, giving subscribers of either platform a legitimate way to keep up with new episodes each week. For viewers who would rather own individual episodes than maintain a subscription, additional options exist as well. Digital retail options are also available, with the season sold as a download through Amazon Video and the Apple TV Store, alongside the Crunchyroll Amazon Channel option.
Accessibility has not been sacrificed for that expanded availability either. New episodes arrive with both English subtitles and an English dub, so international audiences do not have to choose between convenience and their preferred viewing format. That combination of streaming platforms and purchase options has made this the most widely available season the franchise has had since it began.
The Story Heading Into Episode 23
The larger conflict driving season 4 centers on a political rift rather than a simple monster fight. Granville Rozzo and his granddaughter Maribel Rozzo have clashed with Rimuru over their own plan to protect humanity, one that involves ruling over people rather than coexisting with monsters, according to the season’s official overview. That opposition has run through the back half of the season, positioning the Rozzo family as a persistent obstacle to Rimuru’s vision of a unified world.
The season’s official synopsis frames the stakes in similar terms, emphasizing just how far Tempest’s ambitions have grown by this point in the story. By season four, Rimuru is no longer simply fighting monsters, he is hosting diplomatic festivals and trying to keep a fragile peace between humans and monsters from falling apart, with the Founder’s Festival kicking things off as a celebration meant to solidify alliances even as figures like Granbell Rosso see his growing influence as something that needs to be crushed. That blend of political maneuvering and outright combat has been credited with keeping the series compelling this deep into its run.
Episode 22, titled ‘Where the Soul Resides,’ has already aired and set the stage for whatever comes next in the Rozzo family’s scheme. Viewers checking episode by episode guides can see the throughline building toward a confrontation, with episode 23 expected to push that tension further before the season’s current cour wraps with episode 24 on September 25.
The franchise’s momentum has also extended beyond the weekly series itself in recent months. A second film, ‘Tears of the Azure Sea,’ released on February 27, 2026, just weeks before season 4 began airing, giving fans an extra dose of Rimuru’s world right before the new season kicked off. Studio Eight Bit has remained behind the animation throughout, keeping the visual identity consistent as the political stakes in Tempest’s story continue to escalate.
With the Rozzo family’s plot against Rimuru still unresolved and the Founder’s Festival’s fallout still playing out, how do you think episode 23 will move the standoff between Tempest and its rivals forward?
