The official website of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has revealed preview stills and the synopsis for Season 3 Episode 19, which is titled Eve of the Festival, and it's expected to feature Rimuru's big festival finally kicking off with a great banquet for his most important guests. Based on Chapter 110 of the source material, we can expect many familiar faces in the next episode, even beyond the aforementioned nobles and kings who Rimuru has already greeted. Hinata Sakaguchi, whose presence at the festival is a sign of the cooling tensions between the Western Holy Church and Tempest, is expected to show up.
Empress of Thalion, Elmesia is also expected to appear at the event. She plans to say something to Rimuru, and the Episode 19 synopsis teases that she will be "causing a commotion", so that remains to be seen. Other guests include Milim and her group, which will consist of sky queen Frey and former demon lord Carrion, among others. He will also be thinking about Rimuru's face-off in the arena with Masayuki, as he looks forward to what the so-called Lightspeed Hero can do.

Anticipating a flood of representatives from all races showing up to pay their respects, Rimuru decides to throw a festival to commemorate the opening of Tempest, using it as an opportunity to gain new citizens and present Demon Lord Rimuru to the world. Meanwhile, in the Holy Empire of Lubelius, home base of the monster-hating cult of Luminism, Holy Knight Captain Hinata receives a message from Rimuru. But the message is actually a fabricated declaration of war sent by some unknown party. Upon learning that Hinata is heading for Tempest, Rimuru makes a decision… Thus begins a new challenge for Rimuru, striving to distinguish friend from foe in a pursuit of the ideal nation where humans and monsters can prosper together.
