OH SH-😶 They're Spawn Camping Lycagon in Shangri-La Frontier Episode 35 ⁉️

[@juanhaines7295]

I just remembered he still has the scale pencilgon gave him. Maybe he can use that against lycagon.

[@ssjgohan-md2zt]

I foresee them getting their ass kicked by Lycagon. But if Sunraku and Rei join the fight then it could be interesting. I mean Rei is one of the most powerful players in the game, so maybe we'll get to see how that stacks up to Lycagon. I am surprised that Animalia and the SF-Zoo were acting so high and mighty and trying to intimidate our guys when Rei alone would kick their ass no cap.

[@pink.arcanine369]

There's some fun detail in this ep that I can't believe I didn't catch from back in S1, that is Rei's ingame name 'Psyger-0' is actually literally her real name! ('Psyger' in japanese pronounciation is a homophone of 'Saiga', and the number '0' in japanese is 'Rei', so Psyger-0 = Saiga Rei) And also when Sunraku is looking at the moon and said 'tsuki ga kirei' (the moon is beautiful), that phrase can also be interpreted as a poetic way of saying 'I love you', and that's why Rei gets flustered after he said that 😆

[@chriskennedy3538]

Thank you for that detailed explanation!!

[@ruonai.4195]

Same with her sister, actually. 100 can be read as 'Momo' so 'Saiga Momo'

[@juanhaines7295]

For those wondering saying the moon is beautiful is basically a indirect love confession.

[@Draconic_Incenerator]

How is that considered an indirect love confession?

[@juanhaines7295]

I have no idea. All I know is its a thing.

[@kevinparker5906]

@@Draconic_Incenerator Could be a cultural thing. At least that's my guess.

[@kin5275]

It's actually because the pronunciation of the phrase "the moon is beautiful" is similar to how the phrase "I love you" is spelled in japanese

[@Saucegivers]

​@@Draconic_Incenerator is the "tsuki", "tsuki" or "moon" pronouce is similar to "Suki" or "love"

[@jdoggivjc]

The whiplash of Pencilgon selling out Sunraku to finding out she scammed the Zoo guild was brilliant.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

It works because she’d totally do both.

[@SSB_Master_Hand]

Yeah, no way they beat Lycagon here. She's gonna turn SF-Zoo into dog food.

[@jankowalski9039]

Fun fact in the Manga they tell you the 3 exact conditions sunraku fulfilled during his og lycagon fight to unlock the scenario.

[@stefansogorovic6701]

I experinced losing power while playing games but event that scared me mentally for life is when thunder struck electric pole, while I was playing Stronghold, in that moment white light flashed from my monitor and I run away to my parents, I was 11 years old at that time, and my monitor died. From that day forward whenever I hear thunder I turn off my PC and pull cable from wall even if I am beating hardest boss and I have to replay again.

[@Unknown27-c6b]

I can't wait for next week's Shangri-La frontier ep. Sanraku vs lyacagon rematch would be crazy. I think sanraku will get some extra curse marks if that happens.

[@not-sid8342]

I won't say whether or not they win, but the resulting conversations Rei and Sunraku have with their respective camps are genuinely funny.

[@robertsilvermyst7325]

I'll go a step further: rather than a power outage, have someone just suddenly vanish or get frozen in place from a disconnect, and then in SLF theater, show it being a father holding the power cord, telling his kid to do the chores like he asked.

[@randomtrainerx.3424]

Arthur trolling Sunraku through another party seems right up her ally. Time for round 2 Sunraku.

[@DrakeAurum]

I like the little details in this anime. Like, I may just be reaching here, but I'm assuming that the pet-obsessed guild's name is SF-Zoo because they were formed so early on that the community hadn't yet settled on SLF as being the "official" abbreviation of the game's name. I do wonder how many of them are going to end up in Sunraku's situation wardrobe-wise by the end of this fight. There might be some serious queuing at that NPC saint Psyger-0 mentioned once it's all done.

[@tanatos4908]

The "official" abbreviation of the game's name is "ShanFro" (most noticable when it's getting shouted by Sunraku at the end of S1E1), therefore the "SF".

[@scale3673]

You can see why Arthur and Katzo were so fucking pissed with Sunraku. The conditions he reached are next to impossible. Hundreds of criticals, lasting several minutes, the usage of vorpal weapons and being able to survive getting oneshotted by a Colossus like Lycagon? Just makes you appreciate Akane even more if she went through anything similar with Siegwurm.

[@not-sid8342]

She really does have Zoro level navigation skills. Never where you want to go, but always where you need to go.

[@SavvisGeo]

As soon as I saw the moon, I was expecting it. Also pencilgon lies as naturally as she breathes😂

[@hinata365247]

I felt it too! They way the moon was that's how it happened the 1st time😂

[@actionvids35]

Can't wati for next week it will be great Round 2 with Lycagon. Psyger-0: Intimidating on the outside but a stalker sweetheart who’s is crazy in love on the inside.

[@actionvids35]

I think that they will lose the fight but find out more about the monster and about his moves and perhaps unlock some kind of power up from this fight

[@vlogbagam9079]

They will figure out more about the wolf

[@matt87eagle]

These furries are like lambs to the slaughter against the big bad wolf

[@zam023]

They are not there to actually defeat it. I think they want to study it.

[@tylerpetersen6226]

@@zam023 They are after the marks they can dish out.

[@Ferginka]

Pencilgon did tell them A condition, but only 1/3 we knew about.. I remember 2nd one was dodging Lycagons attacks for a period of time and I dont remember a 3rd one... But I think there is a condition using vorpal weapons or something like that.

[@vlogbagam9079]

That's it dodge, hit crit with vorpal weapon

[@tanatos4908]

The full conditions are 200 crits, 5min without getting hit, vorpal weapons, surviving a hit that would have killed you (that last condition was put in place to ensure the player is using a luck-based-crit-build similar to the vorpal bunnies)

[@master_yugen7278]

and those conditions trigger the mark. the mark itself is then the trigger to the scenario. afaik, at least.

[@roguenoise2718]

@@master_yugen7278 spoiler in manga, psyger-0 explain sunnaku she also got Lycagon curse mark long time ago, but she choose remove it because curse restriction equipment The truth is curse mark is NEED as a radar to search Lycagon, no curse mark is impossible to find it so only sunnaku the only ONE can search it

[@daspaceasians]

It was a blast of an episode. Between Rei's lovestuck antics up to the SF-Zoo ambush, it was so much fun. I'm honestly rooting for Rei and Sunraku to eventually get together.

[@orlock182]

Completely unrelated to the anime in question but The Unwanted Undead Adventurer and Skeleton Knight in Another World just got their season 2 announcement today!

[@AHBrandonReviews]

yeah they did. tis a damn good day

[@coltonwilliams4153]

*FANTASY!!!*

[@deandredukes95]

REMATCH TIME LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[@kevinparker5906]

I got a couple of things to talk about. No need to worry, I have not read any of the source material so these are just guesses and my own thoughts. As far as Arthur selling the information, it was a smart move on her part. Unless someone is very skilled or lucky, it'll be hard to get 100 crits on Lyacagon. So it'll be some time before someone can do it to verify if it's true or not. Especially if those crits have to be in a row. As for our boy Sanraku not realizing the name thing, it's easy to understand. While he does know her from school, they're not best friends. Given time he might figure it out, but I feel it wouldn't be all that soon. Also, he does know the player is a girl. He calls them "her" in this episode a few times.

[@jankowalski9039]

This is the 2nd anime ever that made me read the Manga and man lemme vaguely spoil you that rei is gonna show why she's the attack master

[@tylerpetersen6226]

Let the main event of this season begin!

[@scale3673]

AH, there technically was an instance of a power out in Season 1 when Eika, Rakuro's mother, unplugged him from his computer in Episode 13. It was during his family introduction, to his mom (Eika), to his younger sister (Rumi) and to his father (Senji). I guess you mean from a blackout and not a forceful shutdown.

[@AHBrandonReviews]

Was there? Don't remember that one haha

[@scale3673]

@AHBrandonReviews Pretty sure, yes. During their whole spending Sunday together routine.

[@scale3673]

I hope we get to find out how much Arthur fleeced Animalia for. My guess is 100 MIL, same as what she did with The Professor. I wonder if her goal is to get that amount from every other clan leader 🤣😂

[@vlogbagam9079]

The GOAT as always hahahahaa she just give them the cake without the icing hahahaha They need to use vorpal weapon and hit 100 criticals on lycagon

[@scale3673]

​​@@vlogbagam9079And be Level 20 or less. You also need to last for at least 5 minutes.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

@@vlogbagam9079 And last 5 minutes. Gods, that’s a long time for an intense fight. Sunraku really is the crème de la crème when it comes to games, managing to survive that long on his first shot.

[@i_love_ibuki_so_much]

i mean sunraku has that legendary weapon so maybe he'll have a chance not to mention that the mark may trigger an unwanted phase

[@vlogbagam9079]

Rei has an amazing fire power their combo with akane is superb

[@dripsoup6639]

How strong will the combination of the Attack Master, Psyger-0, and the Trash Game Hunter, Sunraku, be? Will combining Sunraku's speed with Rei's sheer damage output give them a chance against Lycagon? We'll have to see how things play out.

[@vlogbagam9079]

Without the new character akane psyger 0 will be wipe out the AI argo of lycagon is so good.

[@dripsoup6639]

@vlogbagam9079 I've read the manga, but I'm not looking to put spoilers in my comments.

[@thunderstorm1430]

I love this ending for one reason and that is because we’re prob gonna watch slf zoo get cooked and deep fryed for thinking they could easily take on the big bad. Because when I think about the big wolf I have to remember sunraku’s insane and inhuman abilities and experience that even allowed him to survive for as long as he did against lycagon. And I get slf zoo’s research is top tier enough to predict the spawn point but I feel like they are going to get massacred when they actually experience it

[@dylanfleurentin647]

This is the rematch I've been waiting the entire show for! I am so pumped for this!

[@actionvids35]

I don't think lycagon will play with them(Sf-zoo). Things won't go the way they think will go. Wolf lycagon definitely remembers sanraku and will want to settle the score with him.

[@kevinparker5906]

That's what I'm thinking too. It won't care about them at all and only go after him. Which if that's the case, they'll get to see how good he really is.

[@vlogbagam9079]

More like that wooo can't wait that to be animated.

[@sorablade2099]

Well…………….. didn’t see that coming

[@scale3673]

People may say whatever they want about Animalia but this is the most badass she and her clan, SF-Zoo, have ever looked so far. Psyger-0 an adorable menace as usual. I do not know how Rakuro Hizutome has not made the connection between her Player name and Rei Saiga, whom he knows IRL 😂🤣 Sunraku has to be the luckiest and unluckiest Player of all time. On his way to Ctarnidd of the Abyss, he runs into Lycagon the Nightslayer. On the plus side, Gilta Brill is SICK. Also, fair point, AH. For Wethermon the Tombguard, there were two weeks to a month of prep, strategizing and intel gathering. Not the case here. They are not ready for her. She literally caught them with their pants down. Let the rematch with the Night Empress begin! On a side note, the design of Eristella, the Saint of Love, is anime-exclusive, just like the showcasing of Wolfgang's clan symbol. I like the fact the anime is adding stuff and clarifying what the manga does not have or show.

[@Addition2]

I don't know if this was mentioned or even known before, but I'll say it here anyways. The main OP theme of Shangri-la Frontier, "QUEEN", is obviously referring to Lycagon. Yup, the song pretty much revealed that the wolf is a "She".

[@franciscojaviermendezrinco1902]

Sunraku knew Psyger-0 is a girl since episode 12, when he tried to lost both her and the Ashira Kai guild in Thirdema, thanks to a hunch Psyger-0 managed to keep up with him and send him the friend request, it was Ellym who recognizes Psyger-0 is a girl by her voice and told it to Sunraku.

[@kenshin391]

This episode was a banger and I can't wait to see them fight the Lycagon. This is gonna be his most epic battle since Wethermon.

[@kimgred5660]

If I remember correctly, There is a similar event but it’s not a power outage, but sungraku mother pulling out the plug of his vr set when he forgets something 😅

Bro fumbled the bag 😭

[@Daisuke-tw4us]

about the true Condition for enter Rabbituza, it involve a hidden stat called "Vorpal Spirit / Soul" Player cant see it but it stat that rise when you challenge a opponent several time stronger than yourself, put you in disadvantage, you MUST NOT use TRICK, Huge Number, RUN AROUND....to fight, die and revive many time (Doing so decrease the stat,just like the case of SF ZOO) Vorpal Soul is for a Hardcore gameplay, to unlock the rabbituza, player must fight (Vorpal weapon may need or may not) an extremely stronger monster (the case possible now are either Unique or Raid Boss) you dont need to defeat them but put up a good fight against themin great disadvangtage situation, doing so will raise the vorpal spirit stat and make the vorpal rabbit send you the invite the number stat of vorpal spirit of you at that time will determine the begining level of your Vorpal rabbit Companion You dont need Scar to get the invite, those thing are separated that just incidentally match with the event rabbituza Currently in the Web novel only 4 person reach the Rabbituza: . . . . . . .

[@juanhaines7295]

I don't think sunraku is strong enough to beat lycagon. I mean he's way stronger and has his new weapons bilac gave him plus with psyger-0 here chances aren't zero but their not high.

[@AHBrandonReviews]

he's strong enough to beat any of the bosses as seen by Weathermon it's just each boss requires a lot of steps and prep which they currently don't have

God I would love Sunrake flexing on the others by dodging and hiting Lyscagon befrore the whole guild and psyger 0. I would also love if there was a stream or pictures taht would get leakes to the public. I mean it would be tactically unwise to give out info, but prob like at most 0.5%of players could pull of waht sunruke did to Lycagon the first time, so it wouldn´t be taht bad and it would be such a hype moment. Even so can´t wait for next episode. Also thoguht Psyger-0 took the long route on Purpose insted of getting lost xD Oh for the power Outage, i guess you could argue that they are abit in the futetre, but i think what is more common what i don´t think we have seen is someone being AFK. Like there was this one SLF Theater but i don´t couhnt that. i want a main character to interact with antohter chracter and then realizing that they went afk. Thath would be so funny

[@nisukenakasaki8968]

Psyger-O/Rei and Sunraku' moment were so sweet, cute and funny at the same time 😳🤣 Glad that Arthur give Animalia' fake infos on the Rabbit Ex scenario 😌 The rematch against Lycagon will be insane 🔥👀 But I think those two are gonna lose and then win at the 3rd try 🤔

[@nakerusa]

Rei... Zero... Rei... Zero 🤣 And i realized who the Zoo was waiting for just moments before the dark clouds appeared. No way! *Clouds NO WAY! 😱 So hyped for round 2 but I'm thinking Sunraku takes the L again. Either that or Rei jumps in and gets the mark too and Sunraku realizes she's a girl.
