Holy crap, someone with a brain????

 

[InfinityKiyen]

She is here and We are all saved.

Do not fear humans... For she is our saintess

 

[karmsand]

Odd thought I just had but does jelly have periods now that she is human or do they not happen anymore cuz slime?

You just want to know if she can get pregnant, I see your game

 

[DLRevan]

What a convenient backlight.

Anyway, I can't see this as anything other than him having some reference that slimes can do this, maybe not to humans but to other animals previously or something at least. It just seems a bit too far-fetched in logic from his in-universe perspective without some corroborating knowledge about slimes specifically.

Her personality changed, poison doesn't work on her, she survived lethal wounds (and in this case, it wasn't even because she was a slime, but because she obtained some kind of divine power)...all these are better explained by the apparent common knowledge of most people in this world as probably due to her being an extra-special saint.

If anything, he should have concluded that taming monsters was yet another package deal power afforded to some saints, since he has it too as an 'ordinary' person, why can't saints? The slime could have been something she keeps in her sleeve like a holdout weapon.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

Hmm, I'm not sure how I'll feel about him having found out. Usually whenever the big 'secret' is found out by other characters, the series becomes more dull and less interesting. Hopefully, that's not the case, in this instance.

I'd wager one of Jelly's splits could do the job of an egg. Now would the babies be human, or jellygirls?

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

I bet next chapter he'll command her to let him go

I'm expecting something like that.

Odd thought I just had but does jelly have periods now that she is human or do they not happen anymore cuz slime?

They should as its a normal biological function. Or I should say, shedding of the uterine wall should still continue, given how we've seen the slime-blood reacts to damage she wouldn't bleed. Our slime found Lady Jelly's body when it was still fresh and cellular death hadn't occurred. The slime replaced Lady Jelly's blood, delivering oxygen and nutrients to keep her cells alive and continuing biological processes. Thus Lady Jelly's uterus would continue normal biological function.

With a few caveats. Uterus changes would be triggered by hormonal changes, and thus it require glandular function in Lady Jelly's brain to continue, and we're not given a good gauge on how much of Lady Jelly's brain is still there. I would think her thalamus is still intact and functional because she must still be breathing for two reasons:
1) No one has called her out on not breathing
2) while I'd believe the slimefluid can deliver nutrients to the cells I don't think without aid from lungs it would be able to pull in enough oxygen to keep Lady Jelly's body alive.

So I think Lady Jelly is just effectively in a coma, with an inteact lower brain just no cortex activity. Thus her uterus would continue its monthly cycle. This also means when she and Hero-kun get married, she can have his completely normal full human children.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk on "Overthinking biological and reproductive processes in a silly comfy gag manga"

Now here's the real brain boiler:
Slimes dissolve everything organic and don't really excrete any waste. But human bodies do.
So Does she poop?

 

[RC1138Boss]

Interesting way to reval Jelly's secret. Doubt berger powers will work on her, this Jelly is a new being born from the fusion of a slime and a human body. Plus she has the actual Goddess blessing.

 

[tremor3258]

Oh went from Jelly selfishly increasing her saint stats to very serious.

Someone figured it out, and even when!

 

[7goat]

Yes, yes, YES! Finally, we have a secret keeper character.
But can you imagine if Berger is really evil? He can freely kill people, have some slimes possess their body, and then manipulate the slimes. What a fearsome power... Though like others have said, his powers probably won't work on our most revered Saint Jelly because reasons.

Shine in English : 🥰

Nooo I'm having Detective Conan flashbacks, I hated that case

 

[motheblackcat]

I wasn't expecting that level of cliffhanger and development... dayum Oo

 

[LordZero]

Gah !

 

[Carn109]

Slime jelly exposed
Soon to be no more pudding

 

[kaptenkeren]

Blinded by faith, Lol. I mean, there's should be explosion sound or something with that big impact.

Guess for Jelly has to bullshit out of the way. She say ... I also a tamer. Lol

 

[Matikkkii]

Oh, good writing. That's fucking rare.

 

[Kuroku]

Hmm, she was strong enough to throw a dragon in the previous chapter, and now she can't lift a human. The author sure is taking some liberties here.

If Berger knows slimes can control corpses, then I am also surprised that slimes being able to control corpses isn't common knowledge. You'd think people would be afraid of slimes wearing a person's corpse to infiltrate society. Or shadowy groups with monster tamers using slimes to replace people in positions of power.

Could be due to her using the actual slime blood and not the saint body part powered by the slime, however we have seen her go weak due to two things happening at once. Those two things are her forgetting she is physically strong as she has the memory of a goldfish as this is the second or third time she has forgotten she has great strength and the second is she hasn’t had food recently and a portion of her brain power has gone down the tanks due to a bad case of the munchies.

I mean that was her entire body, this was just her slime appendage (?) extension
