Welp, leave it to Akane to figure out the truth here. They're so lucky to have someone like her on the team.

Psyger-0 fangirling is hilarious but she did have an important role this arc. I think it's funny how all this came together after arguably their hardest fight in the game. Seems this epsiode is already setting up for something big to come soon.

New Arc starting next week finally, can’t wait. Looks like Sunraku won’t have to go too far to take on Ctarrnid either. And Rust and Mould are finally in SLF!

Before that though, after the big Lycagon fight it’s only natural Sunraku gets some rewards.. well.. you’d think. Buddy still can’t equip armour without it self destruction after a while lol. The devs of this game want him damn near naked clearly. But we do now have a way to find Lycagon’s true body so that’ll come in handy. Poor Rei over there getting happy as hell, damn near about to pass out just because Sunraku thanked her for helping out during the fight lmao.

I love how they used Emul as a stand-in for the audience missing the Usurper dragon fight! I really wanted to see that and know what happened.

So the sage of awakening can basically give you passive traits if I understood that correctly? Definitely can come in handy as sunraku continues to face trickier opponents.

Loving Rust’s design in SLF!! Can’t wait to see more of she and Mould next week hopefully. This arc should be fun

Episode Summary: Sunraku is a half-naked fool (arcanum sub job / mercenary main job player).
Btw it's funny that they skipped the Area Boss fight with the excuse that it's not as important as Lycagon.
I'm glad they skipped, as we just finished a long fight, it would be exhausting to have another one right after, plus it was a good joke.
One thing I would have changed is making the Lycagon fight faster, not only because I think it needs it, but also to use the Area Boss as a cliffhanger.
I'd find it even funnier if I came to this week's episode expecting the Area Boss fight, only for them to say:
"Oh, you wanted to see the thing we promised at the end of last episode? Whatever, it's not important, let's just move on."

As it turns out, Lycagon has its eyes out for Sunraku and will surely come back later, maybe as the final boss. Meanwhile he can at least equip stuff but it will break after a certain, so he will be able to adapt to a riskier play style. The Fool also suits this as well, making him more reliant on dodges as his recast time is halfed. I'm happy for Rei as well since she seems to have gotten a lot of progress and in that one scene I feel like Akitsuakane may become her wingman (or wingwoman, not sure about that one).

The next chapter begins and some have told me that it is a big one to look forward to.

I expected the "Lycagon" to be the final boss, and was very surprised when one appeared so early.
But now everything makes sense, I still think Lycagon will be the final boss and the last one to be Defeated out of the 7 collossii.

The fight against the Wyvern was left to our imagination, which makes sense since after the intense battle with Lycagon, the next monster wasn't going to be that important. But I'm curious to know what role Emul played during the fight 😂.

Sunraku is a fool. Well, that's nothing new. But that arcana he got is really impressive! Even with its drawbacks, it's perfect since it nullifies Lycagon's marks. A new arc begins with another special monster.

@Heart4HS
Gotta agree.
I really liked the previous OP & ED, but I love the juxtaposition of music styles in the current OP.
And the graphics of both really fit.
The ED is a nice take on the old 8-bit games.

Sunraku didn't get his curse marks removed but he did get something pretty cool this episode. Of course it wouldn't be so simple to reach the removal conditions of the wolf's curse. In fact it's become a scar now and its effects have changed somewhat. Sunraku can wear equipment now over the marks but those items will deteriorate so what's the point of even wearing stuff. If anything this is a lateral move for Sunraku, while he did discover that lycagon has a true form somewhere else he didn't get his curse marks removed. So some valuable information but it won't be useful for some time. Continuing on as they reach the fifteenth city where Rust and Mordo are waiting. Sunraku meeting that sage which gives players special subclasses once they reach level 99. Sunraku getting the fool arcana, which halves his cast time for skills but makes healing items not a guarantee when used along with debuffs effects being doubled. But that does really fit Sunraku play style, attacking as quick and as often as possible. So being able to use his skills in half the time is a huge boost for Sunraku. Having just come out of one fight with a colossus monster they head off to finally meet up with Rust and Mordo for what will probably entail another fight with a colossus monster.

Lots of laughs and another great push at Worldbuilding and gelling as team - leading up to the next big arc with Rust & Mold (wtf names)

I don't recall Tarot at all in the Manga ... maybe I'm getting senile

Although they seem to be bouncing around a bunch. Seems they are skipping the tournament arc with Heroes/Villains. I found it extremely long segway, but was good at character development and gelling their guild

@Weasalopes Absolutely. I was sad to see the previous OP and ED gone but that was unjustified. We got some fantastic replacements and new music styles.

What cant be replaced though is the previous ED music video haha. With everyone being all suited up. Nothing can replace the suited Emul sitting on the disco ball. My highlight haha. So funny and cute.

Actually pissed they skipped the area boss because it "wasn't important"

Here I thought it would be a back to back and race against time trying to win before the next day, while being tired from Lycagon but nah, don't bother writing it, let's just make it sound really good but not actually show what happened so we can spend the whole episode on exposition instead.

Don't get me wrong I like world building, but faking out what seemed like it could be a good fight really hit wrong for me, at least with how it fit into the episode. If you're going to do that, make it the end of the episode so we start the next one with the fight already over, at least then there's a semblance of time passing instead of just glossing over it.

Maybe we'll get a glimpse later on as to what role Emul played in the fight against the area boss because I also wondered how she was used lol. Regarding Sunraku's curse, it sucks that he still cannot equip armor where Lycagon's curse is located (without it breaking at least) but I think he can use accessories like Akane does with her mask.

Emul in bunny form is so kawaii, but her human form is even more adorable. And she was the heroine of the wyvern fight. So Why TF didn't we get to see it? Very disappointing. Rust in SLF is a doll. Makes nephalim BS more inane.

It must be difficult figuring out what to do after an episode like 14. I think they did a great job at de escalating. You know what I mean? The cute Lycagon face, the new markings and the comedic sidestepping of the boss fight all serve well to wrap up the arc and remind us of what was happening four episodes ago. I'm absolutely loving this anime.

When they mentioned the Arcana, I knew right away he was going to get The Fool; I don’t read the manga, but The Fool would fit the character perfectly. The name of the Arcana might be The Fool, but in the language of Tarot, it means unlimited potential.

well that was interesting! i bet the lil ninja girl is some celebrity. like Pencil is a famous model.

so speed leveling gets you The Fool? hmm... one half timespan on his skills' refresh is awesome. but status effects duration and 'effect' are doubled? but! it didn't say JUST negative or positive status effects. so if Sunraku gets a status buff, no matter what the 'flavor text'/description says for 'the caster' when it his Sun... the duration and effect will DOUBLE?

i wonder though, if he casts the buff on himself or one of his skills does... hmm! say he had an item that ... one of his silly masks or helmets buffs his intelligence for 10 minutes by 20pts... would he get an int. of 40 buff that lasts for 20 minutes?

if i was Sun? i would start looking for items that reduce hit chances for negative status or neg. status resistances/immunities...

The cursed mark got stronger and not wiped off, aside from other perks (armor equippable) that has some drawbacks (armor breakability) too. Heck, even the Arcanum is a double-edged sword!

Emul getting stressed not finding out the heck Super Emul Cannon is and whatever that was involved with her! LOL Ceecrue looking like a good backpack was nice.

Sunraku is getting stronger and stronger. He unlocked the Arcanum Fool and I think it will be very useful to him.

Psyger-0 needs to interact more with Sunraku and tell him who she really is in reality.

Amazing episode, OP and ED are great. I can say Shangri-La Frontier is one of the anime I like the most.

This show just keeps getting better and better. Not gonna lie I can´t wait for the end of the season so i can start reading the manga.
Also the OP and ED are soo good. I preffer the old ED but his new one really fits the whole game narrative a lot better.

Lol, of course Sunraku's curse marks weren't going to disappear. They even got more noticeable now xD
And also lol at them skipping the Area Boss fight and using that narrative decision as a joke with poor Emul being the center of it. Not gonna lie, that was fun.

Nice transition episode after the epic battle with Lycaon. Sunraku is now a Fool and a new arc is about to begin. Really looking forward to that.
And by the way, gotta love Rust's SLF avatar. She sure knows how to create some really attractive ones, huh?

Damn did they just skip over the whole dragon fight lol... oh well.
Like how they call em "Arcanum" for no reason when they are quite clearly and literally just Arcana. I guess Rei is DIO lol. ZA WARDO!
Anyway, pretty sure there's only 22 main arcana so it should be fairly easy to just read up on all of them ahead of time but oh well. The fact that he got FOOL is funny though, that matches up more with Persona than with JOJO's well unless you want to compare him to Iggy. Damn Rei just said: I knew you were a Fool smh. (but yeah so she does just know all of them, oh well I guess she didn't want to spoiler it)
Wonder which ones Penciligon and Oikatzo have though... Like Strength? and Chariot?
"Death" is probably a bit much even for Arthur... but maybe. We can probably rule out Sun, Moon and Star. Devil and Judgement feel like a "maybe" most of the other ones don't make much sense I feel like. Maybe Emperor or Empress for Arthur but doesn't really make a ton of sense I think. Justice would be too ironic, Hanged Man is more what I'd expect for someone like Sunraku.
So I'd bet Arthur has either Chariot, Devil or maybe "death" (like I'd be shocked if she has something like "lovers")
and Oikatzo I'd say Strength fits the most for sure or possibly Chariot.
Of course it could be anything but that's just going off "vibe" obviously Fortune, Moon, Hermit would have all kind of made sense for Sunraku as well.
Anyway nice way to wrap up though, I kind of do want Sunraku to start connecting the dots at some point and actually realize who Rei is, because he actually almost already did.
Anyway it's gonna be fun, hope Sunraku shows off one of the Robots to Rust lol

Well... at least Sun can "somewhat" wear armor...

Too bad it would break after a while...

Also... what happened with the Dragon Fight. But I guess since they literally just fought a Unique Boss... a Area Boss's fight is probably nothing to be showed off.

.

Hmm.... Sun the Fool. (totally fits him, lol)

So from how it sounds, it doubles his own Buff and Healing, but makes it so he can't receive other player's support or buff.

Meaning... it makes him a "Solo player" build

(which also means the previous buff he got from Pencil to beat the Grave Boss... he can't use that anymore, meaning Sun's going to have to literally fight the rest of the Unique Bosses with his own buffs)

I sure was not expecting Lycagon they were fighting to not be the real one. But it makes sense give all the steps that it took to beat Wezaemon. Even though it was really unexpected I like that he didn't get rid of the Lycagon curse marks yet either. Make my boy Sunraku sweat a little bit more. Great episode!
