That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, like most fantastical anime, features dragons, but in this particular series, they stand at the pinnacle of the food chain as the strongest forces of nature. They are the prized creations of the Creator God, made to be omnipotent and nigh immortal. Even if a True Dragon is killed, they reincarnate elsewhere while retaining their memories, although some might lose a part of their personality.
They cannot truly be scaled, as their power is beyond comprehension, surpassing that of other species in every characteristic bar none. Among the true dragons, there are still power distinctions that separate the good from the best. With that in mind, here are the strongest True Dragons, ranked.
5 “Storm Dragon” Veldora Tempest
Incarnation Of Chaos
The Great Storm Dragon is one of the first friends Rimuru makes after his reincarnation after he stumbles upon him in an area with a large magic concentration. This area was supposed to be the Infinity Prison the Hero used to imprison Veldora after thousands of years of terrorizing humans. Since he is the incarnation of the force of chaos, Veldora constantly feels the urge to go on rampages that can instantly destroy nations with his ability to create storms through the manipulation of water, wind, and space.
He constantly tries to challenge his sisters, Velgrynd and Velzard, who are much more experienced and powerful than he is, to prove a point to himself. However, he learned just how much more powerful they were than him after several cycles of defeat and reincarnations. Veldora and Rimuru share the greatest of connections due to the year he spent inside his stomach, as they share their powers and memories with each other, allowing Veldora to come back from the dead countless times as long as Rimuru lives.
4 “Scorch Dragon” Velgrynd
Incarnation Of Acceleration
Being the third in terms of age and experience among the True Dragons, Velgrynd is also quite powerful. She is a fiery one who has no problem sticking it to Veldora and disciplining him when he gets on her nerves. She can also be quite a force of destruction as she is hot-headed, but she has shown the ability to think rationally and accept the fact that the “Demon Lord” Rimuru defeated her despite not being a True Dragon yet.
As implied from “Scorch Dragon,” she has mastery over fire and is the personalization of the concepts of acceleration and momentum, making her the fastest True Dragon, moving at speeds relative to the speed of light. She is a passionate one who will surpass her limits to protect her loved ones, especially her lover, the hero Rudra, with whom she transformed a minor kingdom into the Great Eastern Empire using her might.
3 “Frost Dragon” Velzard
Incarnation Of Deceleration
Despite being the older sibling of Veldora and Velgrynd, she appears to be the youngest physically, as her base form is that of a girl child. That is, until she gets serious in battle and takes on a more adult form, or takes it a step further and becomes a full-fledged dragon. Unlike Velgrynd, she is the incarnation of the concept of deceleration, has control over the flow of time, and lacks compassion.
Veldora’s fear of his elder sisters is mainly due to the punishments he received from Velzard, which severely traumatized him well into adulthood. She is mostly uninterested in the activities in the world and spends most of her time in her Frost Palace, but she is also capable of wide-scale destruction, with Rimuru being one of the two people known to be able to confront her. She has shown the ability to completely freeze over Catastrophe-Class figures without breaking a sweat, a display of the sheer power a True Dragon possesses.
2 “Chaos Creator” Rimuru Tempest
The Ultimate Slime Dragon
Although Rimuru did not initially reincarnate as a True Dragon, the time Veldora spent in his stomach set the stage for Rimuru to evolve to something of that scale later in the series, especially due to his Predator ability, which allows him to mimic the appearance and abilities of anything he consumes.
Rimuru eventually evolves into the fifth True Dragon during the later parts of the series and reincarnates into a dragon’s body while retaining the physical properties of a slime. As the protagonist of the story, it is expected that he ends up as one of the strongest characters, and with the sheer number of overpowered skills, abilities, and hax he has gathered over time, he has certainly done just that.
1 “Star King Dragon” Veldanava
The Will Of The Creator God
The First True Dragon to come into existence, Veldanava, dubbed the Star King Dragon, exists as the will of the Creator God and, as such, is the most powerful being in the entire verse. Veldanava created the world and everything that exists in it because he was bored and wanted to experience what life would be like if he were not omniscient. Veldanava enjoyed sharing his abilities with his creations, some of them being Rudra Nam Yu Nasca and Guy Crimson.
He continued to do so till he practically became a regular human who could die of old age and decided to live out the rest of his life with his human wife and hybrid child. However, before he ran out of power, he used it all to create a baby dragon, Gaia, to befriend and protect his daughter.
