Anime Like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime OAD
Tempest finally has downtime, and watching Rimuru convince an army of demons to fight in a sumo tournament is peak slice-of-life comedy.

This is comfort food for people who just want to hang out with these characters doing stupid things.
SYNOPSIS
Rimuru's peaceful life in the kingdom of Tempest hits a boredom crisis. With nothing entertaining happening in his monster-filled city, he proposes an unconventional solution: a full-scale sumo wrestling tournament. The idea catches fire instantly, and soon everyone from his inner circle wants a shot at glory and the mysterious grand prize. What starts as innocent athletic competition turns chaotic as rivals clash across the ring. Benimaru throws down with the other men while Shuna and Shion prove they're serious contenders. Even Rimuru finds himself dragged into the competition despite his doubts about slime-based sumo mechanics. Friendships get tested, egos get bruised, and the line between friendly sport and actual combat blurs fast. The tournament becomes a pressure cooker where everyone's got something to prove, whether it's dominance, validation, or simply the right to claim Rimuru's attention. What feels like harmless fun reveals deeper tensions simmering beneath Tempest's surface. Watching people you care about throw elbows at each other changes things.
