Chloe's Time Travel Skill Rewrites a Death
The preview, published by Japanese entertainment news outlet Oricon News, picks up right where Season 4 left its most alarming thread. Hinata should be dead. Instead, Chloe's unique skill Time Travel carries both of them into the past together. To return to the future, the synopsis says, the two turn to a certain person for help; the report leaves that person unnamed. We'll find out who it is when the episode airs.
A note on the numbering: 92 is the series' cumulative episode count, and within Season 4 this lands as the 20th episode. The "Part One" in the title signals a direct continuation, though the report doesn't say when Part Two arrives. The advance stills show Hinata and Chloe in the spotlight, fitting for an episode named after Chronoa, the hero identity tied to Chloe's story.

Season 4 is produced at Eight Bit, the studio that has animated the series since its 2018 debut, and it is directed by Naokatsu Tsuda (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure). Hitomi Ogawa handles series composition, with music by R.O.N. The season premiered on April 3, 2026 in Japan.
This week's episode rests on two voice performances: Manami Numakura plays Hinata Sakaguchi, a role she has held since her casting was announced for Season 2, and Azusa Tadokoro voices Chloe.
A 62 Million-Copy Franchise With a Film in Theaters
A quick refresher: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime follows Satoru Mikami, an office worker who is stabbed to death by a random attacker and wakes up in another world as a slime named Rimuru. From there he sets out to build a nation where every race can live happily together, winning allies through a mix of acquired skills, wits, and nerve.
The franchise started as Fuse's serial on Shōsetsuka ni Narō, a Japanese web-novel posting site, and later picked up a manga adaptation drawn by Taiki Kawakami for publisher Kodansha. Total series circulation has passed 62 million copies. The anime debuted in October 2018, with Season 2 airing in two halves across 2021, Season 3 running April through September 2024, a theatrical film in 2022, and a new theatrical film playing in Japanese cinemas right now.
Looking Ahead
Episode 92 airs Friday, August 28 in Japan, with "Part Two" of the Chronoa story to follow; the Oricon report doesn't give its date. Internationally, Season 4 streams on Crunchyroll, so the episode should reach overseas viewers shortly after the Japanese broadcast. The new theatrical film is currently only confirmed for Japanese theaters in this report, with no word on an overseas release.
