Sunraku is the underdog in this fight. Putting him in a timed challenge against an opponent much stronger than he is seems unfair.

A very tense and action packed episode. I've never seen Sunraku so stressed before but given the odds, I'm not surprised either.

The hardest achievement always give you nothing but a trophy.

I want to see Sanraku's face in SLF too!

I know it's pretty late but let me show an appreciation for the OP song Broken Game, it's written specifically for this anime, not just random song that happen to fit the theme. And in this episode, the lyrics "Parry Parry" is more important as ever. If you haven't listen to the full version yet, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_YHXdCcmVc

The fight was pretty damn epic! Good thing this has good animation. And that definitely was not 5 minutes.
That archer girl in the background is gold.
Getting yandere vibes from Psyger-0 at the end lol

Btw are SLF Theater parts also in the manga or are they anime-original? Either way, I like them.

That whole dodging sequence really reminded me of bullet hell games and the dopamine you get while playing them. From the I wanna be the guy games to lesser known ones I usually suck at them but once you get that successful run you feel impervious to anything. Oh, and that hype track that was playing during that scene is so perfect. Once again, this anime really hits me in my gaming side.

Well that's the lvl 120 opponent for Sunraku, even if all you can do just dodge, and run, at least you've got an experience and learn, especially since Vash Aniki surely have a very strong skill when killing the treemage that fast. Congratulations on your title, Sunraku. Must be another hit on social media, can't wait to see the outsider pov. But for now, that's it the unique scenario, and forget about that one bonus cause Sunraku need another levelling up first before getting onto that quest.

Lol at Sunraku change himself from birbman into ghostman thanks to Emul idea. While he's about to set up another new journey ahead, one familiar user getting caught stalking? Now or never you two, especially you, girl. Get it done already....

Sunraku's final monster training, straight from Vysache: the Lvl 120 Abberant Woodmage, with a victory clearance of 5 mins as the episode title puts it: the 300 (second)-limit Pandemonium.

It's not easy for a Lvl 31 character against a Lvl 120 tree-fused undead of sorts with rentless magic and physical powers, it's pretty hard to even try dodging, much less surviving for 300 seconds. But Sunraku makes the most out of his attack abilities by utilizing kills learnt from playing trash games, learning that its staff was its Achilles' Heel...beating the time limit, that is. This is enough for Vysache to step in, showing off his OP-ness, and proving that he finished the training, thereby being a Honorary Rabituzan...and no rare items, which ain't the usual for MMORPG games. Essentially, it's also late in the night, so Rakuro can rest east.

The Bonus Unique Scenario: Vorpal Epic, Sunraku can't quite crack it since the requirement is Lvl 80. He has a lot of time to pass, but with Lycagon's Mark marking him as a target, Emul recommends her younger brother Peatz to help equip him...into a ghost gear of all things. At the very least it hides Sunraku totally, and in Thridrema, they can only head to their next of few areas to clear first. The Prismatic Forest Grotto is where Sunraku wants to go...but Emul got distracted by someone...and it just had to be Psyger-0 stalking him.

Psyger-0 is a rather different kind of PKer: a yandere stalker.

This Woodmage left me thinking the true extent of Vash's monstrous strength. The way he casually spoke of capturing the creature made it seem as if he had been hunting it for sport. Additionally, Vash effortlessly crushed the formidable monster with a single blow. Even if the monster had lost its staff in that moment, I doubt Sunraku could have replicated the feat.

The only thing that unnerved Sunraku more in this episode was Rei peeking around the corner. While Rei was likely just delighted to have found him again and contemplating how to approach him, Rakuro found himself face to face with a high-level player in full gear, staring directly at him.

Sunraku did a great job out lasting this boss! An incredible endurance match between them that looked spectacular. The animation popped off once again in this show. Sunraku having to do anything he can dodging this tree sorcerer attacks. The wide variety of spells was impressive, from fire to ice to lightning and even poison spells. That all kept Sunraku on his toes as well as the roots and chains whirling around as he runs. You could think that maybe landing a few hits in would help but its even immune to physical attacks. Sunraku then coming up with the great idea to get its staff away, even if to only kill time which is his goal anyways. That tree sorcerer absolutely wanted it back too, Sunraku was right when he said just spamming the roots and chains would've worked better. He somehow managed to survive the five minutes but it sucks he got nothing more than a title and no actual loot.

That ten minutes must have felt like a lot longer for Sunraku but he actually managed to clear it, well done. Emul's reaction when he took the mask off was hilarious. Also Psyger 0 is here.

once again it took several minutes for something new to happen. between the explanation that after 8 episodes we shouldn't need anymore, the OP, and the ridiculous rehashing of what we already saw last episode what the hell are the producers thinking? we aren't idiots, we already know dudes so quit it. 4 minutes until it actually starts? goodness gracious please don't waste my time like that.

Lmao I know Sunraku had to be PISSED to survive for 5 minutes just to get citzenship as a rabbit 😂. Truly a gamer anime as we can all relate to grinding out a hard quest only to get an ass reward. At least he got a new skill along with it..

Sakuga during the fight was amazing as you’d expect. Basically 10 mins of nonstop sakuga. Well done C2C.

Love everyone’s surprise when sunraku took his mask off for the first time. What did they think was gonna be under there 😂

And best girl psyger-01 still stalking him I see

It's cool to see our MC coming to terms with how his playstyle history affects his outlook in an actually good game. Pyseger0 is continuing her journey into the danger zone, but I'm glad it was just focused on Sunraku and his fight to beat this special scenario finally. Hope we get the whole gang together soon, but with it being a 2 cour season there's still plenty of time.

I don't understand why he hates the collar. An item that gives you double ability points but you level half as fast is a min-maxer's DREAM item. Even if he got nothing else out of the quest, the extra ability points he earned before losing the collar would have been more than worth it.

So weird that he doesn't understand that, given his character and the show's focus.

@amf85 absolutely and not only that but he can fool PK players who think they can beat him because he's low level but then he's buffed on the stats, it's a perfect situation.

I was also expecting some type of epic loot for Sunraku once he survived the 10th boss, maybe there will be some in that follow-up scenario. Psyger-0 staring at Sunraku like that, it's that type of staring that you can't help but feel.

A very action packed episode and I'm loving it. What I didn't love was that Sunraku really didn't get a reward; or I guess the reward was getting that half-exp item off of him. Unfortunately he didn't even get to keep that. Looks like he also got another quest for the Rabbit Land. He probably won't take that quest for a while.

Gotta love that ghost costume too, this series loves to make Sunraku take the ridiculous routes.

He was soooo close to turning the tables on the Wood Mage when he got the wand out of the guy's hands!

The archer girl being dragged off in the background while he was in the ghost outfit was funny, as is his main squeeze Psyger 0 just spying, I mean stalking him from around the corner.

This dude us dodging like a maniac. Welp, he has to.You dodge or you die, and he doesn't want to redo the fight hundreds of time like the shitty bird. Instead, he finds the resolve he needs to push out 5 minutes.

Disarming it to stop the magic attacks definitely helps, but at the end of the day this is an evasion game. As we would expect, he cleared it.. didn't even need a Retry. What he didn't get in loot, he'll get when he fights against other tough mobs to make em look like chumps.

The fact you could keep Emul outside the Rabbituza event is a massive W in and of itself. The city names are pretty blunt, but the fact it's an open world with many paths gives plenty of options.

Those were some nice moves.
I wonder what would've happened if he decided to go in for some attacks on the Loser's Wood after the staff/wand was disarmed. He might have been able to get some criticals there.

I finally get to see the continuation of that weird creature. It was a hilarious fight.

What's more hilarious:
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Watching Sunraku winning against that 120 level monster was so impressing, I thought he would give and die for at least 3 times.

I also like that flowers forest so much and I'm so happy he chose it, it looks so fantastic.

The ep length is so short, can't wait for the next one!!! but at least the show have 25 ep.

And as always Emul is soooo cuteee, it is the cutest character I've seen this year so far (maybe Anya is cuter but yeah).

Intense fight against the tree monster. As someone already said, the whole sequence really felt like Shangri-La went full bullet-hell game mode.

Also lol at Sunraku revealing his face but the anime not showing it a la "Goblin Slayer" style.
And by the way, I love how they keep showing Mia in the background ready to use her bow whenever she sees something weird xD
