Since the recently concluded installment (season 3) covered The Saint and the Monster Arc, Territory Seizure Arc, and Opening of the Monster City Arc (The Founder's Festival Arc) from Fuse's light novel series, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 4 will likely pick up the adaptation from The Majin Behind The Scenes Arc.

As such, fans can expect That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 4 to show Rimuru Tempest and his executives facing a fearsome Demon Lord, who wants to take down an Otherworlder under Rimuru's care. Additionally, the upcoming installment could witness the adaptation of Awakening of the Chosen Hero Arc and The Eve of the War Arc.
