Ah, Milim Nava. The Destroyer, the Tyrant, and possibly the Bestie? If you’re confused about Milim’s place in Rimuru Tempest’s chaotic world, you’re not alone. This pink-haired powerhouse is unpredictable. One moment she’s destroying mountains. The next, she wants Rimuru’s affection. Let’s explore Milim and Rimuru’s relationship.
Is Milim Really Team Rimuru? Spoiler: Mostly Yes, But…
Is Milim on Rimuru’s side? Yes, but it’s complicated. If Rimuru is the sun, Milim is a fiery planet near him. She gets too close at times, causing chaos. Fundamentally, she’s within his solar system.
Milim declares Rimuru her “Bestie” and her “True Friend.” In a world of politics and hidden agendas, Milim’s explosive friendship stands out. It’s like having a golden retriever that destroys things but remains loyal.
Their bond strengthened when they both became Demon Lords in the Octagram. Picture the meetings: masterminds and ancient vampires, while Milim and Rimuru argue over slime-shaped candies. It’s both funny and powerful.
Milim is arguably Rimuru’s strongest ally. Yahoo noted she is “more than just his strongest ally; she is also his best friend.” “Strongest ally” feels like an understatement. She is a walking weapon on Rimuru’s side. To solve problems, just point her in the right direction and watch the chaos unfold.
Wait, Did Milim Betray Rimuru? The Case of the “Controlled” Chaos
Let’s talk about the times Milim seemed to go rogue. Did Milim turn on Rimuru? This question makes fans uneasy. Some moments looked like betrayal was happening. Remember the Clayman fiasco? Milim seemed under his control, causing chaos across Tempest.
What happened? Milim didn’t truly turn bad. It was a maneuver. She played along with Clayman’s feeble attempts to manipulate her. She isn’t subtle, but deception suits her.
The reason was simple: she wanted to discover Clayman’s true motives. She acted as if controlled to investigate Clayman’s puppet master. Picture Milim as a spy, but instead of a tuxedo and martini, she wore battle armor and craved snacks.
Her act was clever deception. Her chaos became a weapon. Clayman’s crew celebrated their control while unaware they were manipulated like a cheap instrument. Predicting her chaos was impossible.
Before the Clayman plot, Milim went berserk out of heartbreak. This wasn’t strategy; it was raw fury. Losing everything led to her destructive force.
Milim’s heartbreak stemmed from losing her life and family, including Gaia. Gaia protected her and was her everything. When attackers killed him, Milim’s world fell apart. Losing Gaia shattered her sanity.
She was filled with rage, not the strategic Milim. Veldanava’s power surged in her. Her heart turned “white with rage,” driving her for revenge. This rampage was pure grief. It revealed deep-seated power behind her playful exterior.
Love is in the Air? Milim and Rimuru’s… “Special” Bond
Now let’s shift to romance. Is there more than friendship between Milim and Rimuru? Does Milim love him? Source hints suggest something interesting in her emotions. Milim feels “strange” around Rimuru. This usually means flutters and blushing.
Despite her chaos, Milim recognizes her feelings as love. The challenge is acting on them. Imagine her navigating romance; it would be a disaster but with good intentions.
The moment some fans await: Did Rimuru kiss Milim? Some sources suggest yes? There’s mention of Rimuru kissing Milim “with all his heart.” A kiss between them does hint at something more.
However, skepticism is crucial here. This claim’s credibility might be questionable. Whether it’s mistranslation or wishful thinking remains to be seen. But it’s a spicy detail that complicates their bond. Their relationship is chaotic, loyal, and possibly romantic.
Power Play: Who Would Win in a Slime vs. Dragonoid Showdown?
Now for the serious question: Who is stronger, Rimuru or Milim? This question ignites debates everywhere. Let’s explore their power dynamic.
For much of the story, Milim is undeniably stronger in battle. Sources confirm that she is “simply too strong for anyone, even Rimuru, to defeat.” Think of Milim like a max-level boss while Rimuru builds himself up from humble origins.
The ranks. In a head-on fight, early Rimuru would be squished.
Milim’s strength is legendary, bordering on ridiculous. She’s a Dragonoid, a descendant of Veldanava. Her raw power, speed, and destructive abilities are unmatched. She can vaporize mountains, obliterate armies, and use magic for mundane tasks. Milim is overpowered.
Rimuru defies expectations. He absorbs, adapts, and evolves. He quickly finds new ways to grow stronger. It’s his thing. And he’s catching up. Fast.
By the time we get deeper into the story, Rimuru has nearly matched Milim’s vast power. “Milim stands at the top for now.” “For now” is the key phrase here. Rimuru is breaking limits constantly. Milim is powerful but at her peak. A classic shonen trope: the underdog closing the gap.
Will Rimuru surpass Milim? All signs point to yes. The story suggests he will catch up and eclipse her power. It’s not just about force; Rimuru’s strength is in his adaptability and skillset. He might not out-punch Milim, but he is becoming a force on a cosmic scale. The slime is rising.
Dragon Down: The Tragedy That Forged a Demon Lord
To understand Milim, we must delve into what shaped her. We discuss the death of Milim’s dragon companion, Gaia. This loss was not just about a pet; it was losing family and innocence.
Who were the villains here? An elven kingdom led by Jahil. Their motive? Power and control. They tried to control Milim by targeting her dragon. This was stupidity and cruelty that backfired spectacularly.
Milim became orphaned after her father’s death. Gaia, her dragon, was her only family. They lived peacefully until Jahil and his elves declared war. Their happy times ended quickly when Jahil’s kingdom killed Gaia in a foolish attempt to dominate Milim.
The elves believed killing Gaia would subdue Milim. They could not have been more wrong. Instead of control, they unleashed unimaginable fury. Killing Gaia was like kicking a nuke; the aftermath is messy, and you won’t appreciate it.
Her dragon’s death sent Milim down the path to becoming a Demon Lord. She transformed from grief to rage. This rage turned into raw power. It was a tragic change born from loss and fueled by vengeance.
In her rage, Milim rampaged destructively. She was not thinking or strategizing. It was an apocalyptic event. She killed many humans, absorbing their souls. This soul absorption was key for her evolution.
The absorption of souls, along with her Dragonoid power and grief, triggered her evolution into a True Demon Lord. She became Wrathful King Satanael, perfect for representing her power’s source. Sources say Milim’s awakened power links to “Wrathful King Satanael.” Her transformation was tragic, a consequence of loss. It warned against provoking a Dragonoid.
Sanity Restored: Ramiris to the Rescue (Again)
After Milim’s rampage, someone had to help her regain sanity. Enter Ramiris, the Fairy Queen. Ramiris, often underestimated, played a vital role in Milim’s redemption.
In an unlikely moment of competence, Ramiris came down after Milim’s week of destruction. She hit the reset button on Milim’s sanity. Seven days of chaos ended with Ramiris’s timely intervention. Sounds easy, but with Ramiris, things are rarely simple.
The specifics of her intervention get interesting. Ramiris did not just wave a wand. She absorbed Milim’s excess energy. The web novel reveals Ramiris shut down Milim’s power source, turning off Satanael.
Let’s break that down. “Breeder Reactor”? “Satanael”? We’re in peak anime territory here. Milim’s power generated like a magical reactor, creating destructive energy constantly. “Satanael,” as mentioned, embodied her Demon Lord power. Ramiris absorbed all that chaotic energy, deactivating Milim’s internal rage-generator.
This was like performing emergency surgery with poor tools. Miraculously, it worked. Ramiris acted as a magical energy sponge and sanity defibrillator. She shocked Milim back to her senses, preventing permanent destruction. This was a testament to Ramiris’ hidden depths.
Thus, we have the whirlwind romance, explosive betrayals, and immense power of Milim Nava. She is more than just Rimuru’s ally; she is his bestie and a powerhouse. In the unpredictable world of slimes and Demon Lords, that’s about as stable a relationship as possible.
