Pronouns: They/Them (Rimuru changed from when it thought it was a male but now identifies as a genderless being and use of pronouns being They/Them. The company handling of the series on translation is poor and misgendering the character use on male pronouns over neutral pronouns and falsely making community think its male leading to gender debates without clearing it up, unless it was Director decided to change it without asking Mr. Fuse, same with other genderless characters in series. "Also Mr. Fuse said "Ore" how Rimuru address themselves does not matter since they are Neither male or female but embodiment of true Genderless so you can address Rimuru how you feel, Mr. Fuse address Rimuru by name not gender pronouns and translation companies have fail to fix it in the light novel, manga, anime, and mobile games due to laziness and not caring.") |
I notice many people, community, and company who handles the translation of the slime series misgender Rimuru as male because the gender pronouns set was "he/him" so everyone automatically thinks Rimuru's gender and gender identity is male. Rimuru Tempest's gender is neither male nor female, and its genderless, and their gender identity is neutral. At one point, Rimuru did believe to be a male but it is not the case anymore. Why? Rimuru always said stuff like "I'm just a slime". Also, the author was kind enough to share the information when I asked them on their blog; the author is Mr. Fuse. In the past life as Satoru was a male human being who was a salaryman before dying and getting reborn as slime with their memories intact. Met Veldora the best tsundere dragon and slime gains a new name as Rimuru Tempest. From the looks of it community and companies involved with Tensura are transphobic at their root when it comes to denying Rimuru true gender identity being neutral and character not being a male nor female which was confirmed by author Mr. Fuse. Be wary of anyone addressing Rimuru as a male nor female on social media and any social network labeling them wrong.

Confirmed Directly From Fuse!
The debate about Rimuru Tempest gender and many fighting over this since the series and became well known. To end the pointless debates on who is right or wrong. I went the extra mile to contact the Great Fuse-sama for the answers; I confirm it directly by him via ncode.syosetsu.com’s message system. I rather trust the author than others who jump the gun to decide without asking Mr. Fuse. I will provide the evidence in both the original text and my translates under the original.
リムルの性別にかんしてですが、無性です。 As for Rimuru's gender, it's asexual. 作者としては、心は男のつもりで書いています。しかし、人は変化するものなので、将来的にはどうなるかわかりません。 As an author, I write with the intention of being a man at heart. However, people change, so you never know what will happen in the future. 男だと思えば、男。 女だと思えば、女。 見た目が可愛い女性なので、リムルもノリノリで女性を演じたりしていますし。 If you think you are a man, you are a man. If you think you're a woman, you're a woman. She looks like a pretty woman, so Rimuru is also acting like a woman. という事で、読者がそうであったらいいなと思う性別で、リムルを応援してあげてください! So, please support Rimuru with the gender that you would like to see! 自由に想像して楽しんでもらえれば幸いです。 I hope you can freely imagine and enjoy it. それでは、今後も『転スラ』を応援してくださいね~ So please continue to support "Tensura" in the future! From my understanding point of view, base on Fuse's reply. He is saying Rimuru Tempest gender/sex are Asexual since he never decided on it. Fuse is telling the fans that Rimuru Tempest can be whatever gender you see them as. Also, Rimuru wears unisex type clothes which are aim at both gender types. How Rimuru acts like an old man and woman sometimes since they are willing to dress up as a woman or a guy the slime can be both genders at the same time. Rimuru in the woman bath confirms that the slime is both genders and identity as both anyway Rimuru neutral identity. |
Extra InfoAlso if you have checked the polls for Tensura a while back you would have got the answer too. Fuse said he couldn't decide on Rimuru Gender so Fuse made it Asexual.
How I interpret my F/O SlimeWife Rimuru Tempest is solely based on the author's words and my understanding of Mr. Fuse's enlightenment on the subject matter!
