There were a host of other announcements besides That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3. No less than three Tensura-related works were announced to celebrate the franchise’s 10th Anniversary.
The first is a new three-part OVA release called Coleus’ Dream. Coleus’ Dream was a short story written by Reincarnated as a Slime author Fuse and included in the Blu-ray releases of Season 2. The story eventually formed the basis for the plot of Scarlet Bond. The new OVA will follow Rimuru as he goes on a special mission to the Coleus Kingdom, which is undergoing a succession war.
