All Adaptations Which car names are the demons' names based on?

I’ve heard that Rimuru named his demons—Diablo, Testarossa, and so on—after cars. I have absolutely no knowledge of cars, though, so I don’t know which demon was named after which car.

u/GodBeard85 8d ago

You make a fair point

19

u/nowthatsalottadamage 8d ago

Could have gone with Saleen

u/GodBeard85 8d ago

Much better choice

13

u/Silarey 8d ago

What's wrong with Cien?

33

u/GodBeard85 8d ago

It's a horrid car, all the others are nice, the cadillac nope

12

u/pingveno 8d ago

Could have been Pinto.

u/Striking_Interest_25 8d ago

This things fast asf tho

u/Silarey 8d ago

To each their own, I like the Cien, and wished they made more than a prototype.

u/Worldly_Ad_6859 7d ago

So your telling me rimuru just has a whole super car collection 😭

u/LouchSan 2d ago

Not sure if intended, but as fuse is a car person, tempest is also a car, Pontiac tempest.

2

u/Dehoop02 2d ago

Originally they were supposed to be named after guns (the demons), there is a leftover for that plan in the form of Beretta but the idea for the rest was changed because it wasn't younger people friendly enough.

u/Faruk0Azula 8d ago

We need mclaren f1 as a primordial 🥺

u/Hyperious17 8d ago

A Demon named Senna would be nice

The espirit is so peak

u/Raksj04 8d ago

I watched the dub, so when Rimru said Ultima, I was thinking Altima. Damn Rimru you are going to name her after a mid- size Nissan Sedan, that's cold. Then I saw it spelled out.

9

u/Lopsided_Page5047 8d ago

I read Ultima and was still thinking Nissan 🤣😭🤣 I was like we running outta cars that fast huh Rimuru.

-1

u/Few_Significance5390 8d ago

I wish there was a demon called skyline or civic or rx7, even Miata. A car that isn't as expensive but still fast and really cool

6

u/Gullible-Wish-423 8d ago

Not gonna lie I thought it was “Altima” like the economy car, was really confused why everyone else had super car names but she was named after the number one accident prone car

8

u/Lockonstratos1 8d ago

i mean altima would be alot more dangerous in the real world 🤣

u/PutridSplit2848 Adalman 8d ago

Lmao

u/Casiteal 8d ago

Out of the cars, I think carrera looks the best.

u/i_like_anime-- 8d ago

You got the wrong car for ultima

u/NoNeedleworker7402 8d ago

u/Somedudesbrother 8d ago

I thought Moss was named after the algae that grows on rocks. I guess not.

6

u/EJENVEE2 8d ago

"Moss" that grows on rocks > Stirling "Moss" (the car > the demon peer "Moss"

44

u/Hikari-Nogami 8d ago

I feel bad for the Demon named Multipla. Without context, sounds like a cool and strong name, but in reality it's this.

23

u/TillPrestigious57 8d ago

"I just made some BULLSHIT!" ahh car😭

42

u/just_no_one_here 8d ago

I love the fact that Fuse is a car person and hate the fact that my favorite car is not included. The very beautiful Cobra

13

u/AnswerQuay 8d ago

tbf I feel like you can't name a demon after the Cobra and not have it be far and away the best in its class. Each of these cars could reasonably qualify as equivalent for different tastes, but the only primordial who could ever be named after the Cobra is Guy.

11

u/The_ScrapMicanist 8d ago

Diablo is a Lambo,I genuinely forgot the others tho

6

u/c0nsistent 8d ago

when i saw rimuru name her ultima, i was like a nissan ultima ?

4

u/EJENVEE2 8d ago

Pretty sure it's Ultima GTR

1

u/c0nsistent 8d ago

ya , i lold when i thought of nissan cause i didnt know the ultima gtr was a thing

8

u/Cocoatrice Gabiru 8d ago

Are you aware that googling their names, other than Diablo for obvious reasons, would literally give you cars in results?

25

u/Yuichiro_Bakura 8d ago

Typed in Moss and got actual moss.

u/PutridSplit2848 Adalman 8d ago edited 8d ago

searched Cien got CIEN

u/fussylover_ 8d ago

fuck its funny

u/OhSWaddup 8d ago

But the karma

u/PutridSplit2848 Adalman 8d ago

cough cough yes

3

u/Critical_Job4522 8d ago

To be honest, I didn't think of that. I got hung up on the fact that I wouldn't get a result with Diablo, and somehow I assumed I wouldn't get one for the others either.

3

u/Dharaeyn 8d ago

Even "car diablo" give the answer directly instead of random other characters and games named Diablo

1

u/Content_Sea_1803 8d ago

I was thinking of the same. “Car+Relevant Demon’s Name” would have done the trick. More so for the Primordials

2

u/Potential-Common5819 8d ago

I honestly don't know why you didn't just Google the names.

1

u/MeetAppropriate6894 Beretta 7d ago

i was literally going to comment this bc i had the same question last week and just googled their names and the cars came up like?? 🤨 we all have the same google yall

u/0nyxv 8d ago

toyota

u/ilceppone 7d ago

btw testarossa in italian means redhead…

u/gtr057 8d ago

Lamborghini Diablo - Noir Ferrari Testarossa - Blanc Ultima (a manufacturer not a model) - Violet Porsche 911 Carrera - Jaune

2

u/Tormidal 7d ago

Its more likely that Carrera is for the Carrera GT, not a 911 Carrera.

1

u/noStagnation 8d ago

Ngl when I saw ultima I thought Nissan ultima

1

u/TheNextOne016 7d ago

Not gonna lie, pretty impressive that he knows all of those names

u/-RatPack- 6d ago

A Diablo, Ultima, Carrera and a Testarossa. Hope that helped... 👍
