Sunraku hunting for loot is the most Sunraku thing ever. He plays that world like any player would even when he's alone against some knight. Obviously, his fighting skills has improved.

Looks like they decided to focus more on Sunraku's personal adventure this episode although we did get a bit of info dump on the alliance.

This episode showcases everything I love about Shangri-La Frontier!
There are some important conversations that need to happen, but, at the end of the day, SLF is still a game. You play it to have fun!
What's more fun than fighting tough enemies with your powerful skills, so that you can Level Up and unlock even more powerful skills!
And then you can use those skill to outsmart the developers by exploiting the mechanics of the game to get loot easier than intended!
Of course, before you leave to go grinding, you DON'T FORGET TO START THE TIMED EVENT!
It's painful when you return and realise that the NPC has been sitting there doing nothing for hours.
How to ruin your day 101.

Extra Tip: When a game you play a lot gets updated, always check the patch notes. I know reading is hard, but it can save you many hours.

Another amazing episode, had a little bit of everything that makes this series great.

As the old adage goes, knowledge is power and what Wolfgang lack in numbers they make up for in information. 4D chess move by Arthur to use the game info they have as a bargaining piece in negotiations. Can’t wait to see what this new/bigger clan will look like in practice

One of the things I love most about SLF is how it feels like an actual video game. Like Sunraku got his ass beat by the crystal scorpions, ragequit(lol), farms some mobs, gets new skills and tries again this time overcoming the scorpions. It’s really like an anime let’s play which is so cool lol. That Skywalker skill looks dope and should really come in handy.

Should be able to get quite a few mats for Bilac to craft now! Really fun ep

Sunraku is evolving in levels faster than before. He managed to defeat Crystal Scorpion thanks to Bilac’s sword craftsmanship. That new tome acquired for Emul is great.

I wonder what was on Pencilgon’s mind when she said about creating a clan alliance. Maybe they’ll mobilise to defeat more of the Seven Colossi.

@Marinate1016 100% agreed! ShanFro is amazing lore-wise, action-wise and character (development)-wise. Add to that a bit of silly goofy moments here and there. Perfect :D

Hmmm idk I like the anime and the episode and this season and so on but for some reason I always felt like something is missing in this anime ngl cuz it’s just him playing a game so the experiences in the game aren’t a real danger so it falls flat compared to for example Sword Art Online even tho SAO also has many flaws but first season of SAO was amazing and I don’t feel this adrenaline boost when watching Shangri La Frontier

Following the guild alliance meeting now Sunraku has some free time before Pencilgon and Oikatzu need him to meet up again. This episode does a great job following more mundane day to day rpg activities without making it seem boring. Sunraku kinda goes back to what he was doing at the beginning of the series and even the end of last season. Following a big story event he tries to tie up loose ends and advance his character in preparation. Very smart game tactics to keep improving in between major events. Emul checking in after meeting with the rabbit King, Sunraku selling some loot, then finally going to see Bilac and how she's improving with the tech they just grab from the ruins. Sunraku was already wanting to go fight those crystal scorpions to gather materials so it's nice that Bilac needs them too. It would be incredible if she created a legacy weapon just like that for Sunraku. Those crystal scorpions are no joke but it would be well worth it. Sunraku strategy for making them crash into each other being nerfed was hilarious. Such a relatable gaming moment where you have this great idea but the developers had to go and fix it. Too bad for them Sunraku knows Newton and how gravity plus fall damage works. Very smart idea dropping the crystal scorpions into that pit so they shatter without a fight. Hopefully soon Sunraku can get a cool weapon from Bilac for all of this.

It's double jump time.

Yes, probably one of the best power ups in video games in general got a whole episode dedicated to it after the alliance from last time got formed. Enemy AI changed its attack patern? No way to fight an enemy other than dodging? No problem, make it kill itself with the terrain and that damn worked this time. I wodner if the skill will manifest in multiple jumps in the air like Kirby or something like that. You could pull off some crazy fight scenes from that alone.

Another great episode, though it’s a shame there wasn’t a mini-theater segment. Bilac is getting closer to becoming a master artisan, and it was nice to see her anxious yet determined about the challenges ahead—Sunraku’s confidence in her is reassuring.

That’s what I love about this anime; it shows that Shangri-La Frontier isn’t just a basic game with repetitive mechanics—it actually makes enemies evolve and adapt to your strategies, keeping things fresh and intense. Now, with Sunraku and Emul’s new abilities, it feels like they’re reaching a whole new level.

Ah poor Sunraku. Finally got hit with one of those cheeky updates that ruins that meta you've been using for so long lmao.

Double jumping was actually something so simple that I didn't expect him to use it icl.

@OtakuKun1 She already answered that.
By having an alliance with those clans, they can use all the facilities and authorizations the other clans have, basically sparing them of having to waste a load of funds on getting those.

Wow, amazing. Thanks for the clarification!
If their created a clan alliance, it would be a lot easier to defeat Lycagon and other Colossi monsters.

This was a pretty decent episode.
The 5 things Arthur pointed out definitely give them an advantage to rise to the top.
I like how Sunraku was able to quickly come up with a new idea to defeat the crystal scorpions.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Bilac it going to create.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Not sure if what Sunraku did counts as an exploit but regardless he was able to get the scorpions to fall. However, it looks like they fell into a deep hole and who knows how deep that is but that may be Sunraku's next challenge.

On a separate note, it seems Emul holds no ill will to Sunraku since he threw her to the wolves (that pet/animal clan) unless it's because he bought her a new spellbook.

LOL, his exploit farming got caught and the DEVs "fixed" it

(sounds a lot like Bofuri's Maple getting too much stuff and the DEVs had to nerf or boss bunch of stuff)

But... apparently Sun found another exploit, LOOOL

wonder if the DEV's gonna fix this too... imagine if they gave the Crystal Scorpion a flight or feather-fall ability...

.

Good thing is, the DEVs of SLF seems to be pretty cool with it, since they didn't roll back Sun and take back any materials or punish him. So Sun while did the exploits, he gets to keep his LOOT.

(which some RL games actually did for this, people that exploited game mechanics to get extra stuff tends to end up being rollbacked or temp banned (sometimes even perma ban...))

Those scorpions fell into the abyss, how's he picking up the drops? Also, that shadow update wasn't really a shadow update cause the changes were in the patch notes, Blizzard actually does that lol I've been playing D4 for months now and they would just say in the patch notes "various game stability blah blah"

Don't just say "one of those" and leave us hanging man... I feel like with the scorpion stinger maybe a spear would make sense? Even so, such a tease.
Also his cheese strat getting nerfed, only to invent a new one like immediately is pretty funny.
Also I know that really doesn't have to be Star Wars reference in any way. But I still kind of want it to be one.
Getting enemies to walk off is a classic though I disagree with his logic, that's more likely to happen in bad games than in good ones. I mean obviously Dark Souls is good but it's not like the Tauros Demon is "supposed" to walk off.
Better games, generally mean smarter AI and path finding and less buggy geometry. Which in turn means they are less likely to walk off. Though it is true of course that in a good game physics will be more consistent. Though it's often inconsistent and buggy physics which you can use to abuse things like fall damage.

@Kocodrilo Yeah that's why I never really look at the opening before I'm like 80% through or something. I just listen to absolutely banger music this show got. No matter how cool intro's can look they aren't really worth the spoilers half the time.

Alliance is formed. Rest is just Sunraku with the usual. He's definitely the type of player devs hate the most. Exploiting every little thing possible and making more works for devs. Bilac's been a fun girl to have around too.

Welp, alliance work is pretty easy. Don't think the other guilds are in much of a position to say no to that. A quick end to the talk of last episode. And now they want to talk about the consequences of how easy last episode went? Promising to talk of opening Rabitz with those people.

Jump straight to the good juicy action, and three cheers to admins updating their game so no one can abuse it. Leave it to Sunraku to come up with Gravity Plan B. We try to take advantage of all engines.

Gotta love a good classic farming session. The typical gamer stuff we all know and love. We do it all for Bilac. Sky Walker OP. Crystal Scorpion kills for days.

Devs made the patch specifically for Sunraku but looks like Sunraku is always one step ahead of the devs. He created a new way to get those materials. That's a god gamer right there. Emul was cute as always.

No Shanfro Mini Theatre again?
