Update: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 21 is now streaming on Crunchyroll.
The official website of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has revealed preview stills and the synopsis for Season 3 Episode 21, which is titled The Martial Arts Tournament, and it's expected to kick off the arena battles. It's expected to adapt Chapters 112 and 113 of the source material, where Masayuki, the Lightspeed Hero, will be making his tournament debut alongside his ally, Jinrai. There will also be other competitors expected to appear, including an ominous figure in a lion mark who may actually turn out to be familiar. Gobta and Geld are also expected to fight in the arena to represent the true power of the nation of Tempest.
The synopsis mentions that the winner of the martial arts tournament will have the chance to face against Rimuru Tempest, but they must dominate the conventional bracket structure of the competition to get that opportunity. Fans should be excited for the isekai anime to get back into action as the next episode is expected to feature some exciting fights. Even after the tournament is complete, we can expect some exciting moments with the Labyrinth which Rimuru and Ramiris built, so it looks like the final few episodes of Season 3 are building up to an exciting season finale.

What is That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 about?
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime anime is based on the isekai fantasy light novel series of the same title (Japanese: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken) by author Fuse and illustrator Mitz Vah, which begins with a 37-year-old salaryman named Satoru Mikami, who's stabbed by a robber and wakes up in another world. However, the hero is reincarnated as a Slime, one of the weakest Monster classes in this fantasy world.
The second season of the anime is based primary on the Volumes 5 and 6 of the light novel series, and the third is covering the events of the next few volumes. In Volume 7, tensions escalate when Hinata Sakaguchi — the captain of the Crusader forces and the chief knight of the nation's Imperial Guard — sets her sights on the heroic Rimuru. Things get complicated when a priest that Rimuru sends to Lubelius is killed, but in Volume 8, which focuses mainly on a festival that's happening in Tempest.
Crunchyroll shared a description for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3:
Rimuru has officially become a Demon Lord after defeating Clayman. Following Walpurgis, the Demon Lords’ banquet, Rimuru’s domain is expanded to include the entire Great Forest of Jura. 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.
