| This is why clans in games like this can be dangerous, especially in numbers. Sunraku looked roughed up this episode but he'll be fine. Seems in game events are a common recurrance in this show though. Nice to see Sunraku fight again and seems he has improved. Not to discredit his opponent though because this battle was a tough one for Suranku. |

| 7:06 Here Sunraku is talking about how in Japanese for both birds and rabbits, the counter 羽 (wa) is used. Counters is one of the unique features of Japanese (they also exist in Chinese). They are somewhat like "a slice of bread" or "two sheets of paper" or "three pieces of chalk", but you have to use one for everything. Like つ (tsu) and 個 (ko), which can be used with almost everything, 本 (hon) for "stick-shaped, cylindrical or long" things, 枚 (mai) for flat things etc. Didn't expect so many guilds to gang up on Ashura Kai. This is quite epic. Wethermon fight let's gooooo! Best episode so far imo And a good SLF theater too XD |

| One of my favorite fights in all of manga is here and it looks incredible. I can't wait for the next few episodes, I'm so excited |
| After carefully luring Ashura Kai's enemies to them in the midst of their plan, Pencilgon is ready to face Wethermon with Katzo and Sunraku. He already has his skills mended from that tutorial skip from the first town and he's the one indicated to try to endure that deadly first phase from an unbeatable boss. Truly nasty. Meanwhile, Rei (Psyger-0) got her opportunity to join Sunraku stolen and now she's pissed at the PKers. Gotta say, she's not the Attack Master just for show it seems. I'd like to see her more in the future. PS: the new opening song is a banger yet again, I've already listened to it multiple times. |

| Psyger and her formal invitation needs to be postponed a bit because of the raid. Emul still adorable as always especially with that hmmph desuwa! The time has come. First phase of Wethermon attack wave, there's already an abnormality, that made sense they stocked up a bit. Now or never, put him into a good sleep... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| squad up attack on ashura kai was cool but the sped up stuff was kinda weird. |
 |
| Ah the well known leaking, mass raid on a single clan etc. Some people like it [no matter of which side you're in] some people don't - depends on game condition, experienced both sides and each have a specific feeling into it. The scenerio in anime reminds alot of SAO Laughing Coffin assault, especially as it has alot of shared details. Tho Sunraku is kinda skilled with his timing on dodging, brings back some memories of reacting towards many bosses movesets, tho it still hit home as some of Snowbreak bosses in Neural Simulation requires some good dodges. +1 For bringing that feeling into anime. The Wethermon waiting for players like Soul of Cinder does in Dark Souls III it is a huge climax, I wonder how they're about to beat that boss and what his Phase II will look like. And bruh the Psyger invitation x) My name is Towa The vibe of the boss just forced me to relisten to that ost |

| Some nice action once again. The base kinda seems like a dangerous place, seemingly no escape. The guilds could've just nuked the ship in its entirity too. |
| . |
| I'm so damn glad they didn't cliffhangered at the confrontation with Wezaemon but already showed the first exchange of blows. And it was really exhilarating to watch. I wonder if Sunrakus talisman comes into play^^ |
| I can't believe you're getting so worked up over sending a message in a video game. I get it in real life, but in a game? That's just beyond me. And hey, he doesn't even know you're a female, lol. I think he still sees Psyger-0 as a dude. The new best girl finally showed up – Psyger's sister. The animation is looking good again, and after like 5 episodes of padding, we're finally getting into the Wethermon fight. It's obvious this won't be an easy one, but Sunraku did put up a good fight against the wolf boss, so he should be fine. |

| Hard to believe how this game supposedly has "really good game design" when things like "buying up all recovery items" are a thing. Some games have a limit on how much you can buy at a time but these limits are always "per character / account" but, from a game design perspective, giving a single player the ability to buy up the stock of an entire store (let alone in general) makes absolutely no sense. Especially in a game with "millions of active users". Also, if the condition to beat the boss fight is not to defeat him but something else and if the story behind his character is to release him from his shackles (his obsession with his dead wife) then why wouldn't their first approach not be to go after her grave (they could always swich to "just focus on surviving" if that didn't work)? Dude is literally called "the Tombguard", destroying "the tomb" seems like the obvious approach here. |

Was the line about Emul being an old lady in the manga or LN or is this an anime only line and a reference to the voice actors for Rakuro and Emul announcing their upcoming marriage?
| @MikeMKH the whole tea drinking scene was anime only, until they receive the letter from Psyger-0. And yeah, it's probably related to their marriage. |

| @Noumu There absolutely are games that allow players to buy up server-wide item stock. Escape from Tarkov, for instance. The traders have timed refreshes and limited stock for some items, and people rush to buy out the stock as soon as it refreshes. There are other examples of games with similar mechanics too. Besides, I get the vibe that this is just one of many little stores in Thirdrema that has been bought out. It's not even a server-wide shop like the shops in Tarkov, so it's a lot more likely that a singular store like this can have such a limited stock that it can be bought out. |
| We’re back after last week’s recap episode! I’m glad we’re going straight into the boss fight. Emul and Rakuro are so cute. Her getting jealous over the bird landing on Sunraku was so adorable. It makes all their scenes that much adorable now that they’re married irl. After all the preparation for the wethermon boss fight we’re here, but instead of a straight up fight, there’s a clear condition. If anyone can outlast the boss it’ll be sunraku. Very nice start to the fight with both being damn near equally matched. Being able to get healing items from his partners is also a big plus for Sunraku Poor rei wanted to hang out with Sunraku, but couldn’t because of the raid lol. I really want to see she and Sunraku go into a big fight together. Brilliant move by Pencilgon to take out the Ashura Kei and prevent them from interfering. Can’t wait to see the next stage of the fight next week |

| @Bandanaa You call that incredible? The most basic slash/parry attacks. You should really watch better anime if your bar is this low. This feels like the meme truck gif never reaching the crash  All that turd padding to finally reach the most lukewarm cyborg boss after such a long delay. This show sure loves to milk the cow. |

| @Kimurah Since when are well-animated swordfights not hype? You don't need a lot of crazy unique abilities to have an incredible battle. Besides, the fight is just starting. This is the appetizer, and it's very promising for the quality of the main entrée. |
| the battle with a unique monster boss finally started |
| Whaaaa the fight finally starts! <3 The strategy seems to be interesting, wonder how they developed it. And that necklace is interesting. Since I'm on my gaming high rn, I was missing this series sooo much. Breaks bad, breaking bad. No breaking. *edit: wait, i just see i missed the recap episode. @.@ still something to watch then. : ) |

| Man, all the clans teaming up to destroy the Ashura Kai will surely go down in VRMMO history. This Wethermon fight is gonna be insane. Sunraku already died once, so you know this is going to be a good fight. |

| @Bandanaa When fights are just parries and they serve as more padding material. Not different than multipunches being blocked in fights, like old Dragon Ball used to. At this pace, I'm already expecting this fight to be elongated to 3 or more episodes, with a shitload of flashbacks and worthless padding material from door mat Rei wondering what his incel guy is doing atm. You call this an appetizer, and I call it giving the customer a basket full of bread and butter and make them wait literally hours until they get their orders. |
| I'm the only one allowed to ride on Sunraku-san - Emul She meant literally... LMAO |
 |
| Finally an episode with Rei in it... 😳 She's too adorable... 🥰 |
| 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. |
| Finally we got the beginning of the Wethermon fight and I expect this to be drawn out considering how much build up there's been. Side note, it was discovered that Psyger-0 has an older sister that is also playing this game and after all the time she spent writing up a letter to invite Sunraku to play together her sister is instead having her fight Pencilgon's old guild so I'm sure she's pretty pissed lol. |
| A coalition of guilds all band together to raid the PK guild? I can totally see that happening! Everyone who has lost or gotten killed by a PK'er will be thinking / doing the same, heck I'd join in too! It's time to start the Weathermon fight. And given how late this started we're going to have to wait for another 1-2 more episodes to see what happens. |
 |
| Hype! Can't wait for the next one. Strange for NPC rabbits to show empathy and concern for him. Crazy game. |

| @Kimurah I will tell you secret. Slashing and parrying that's called swordfight. If it's well animated, it's good swordfight. |
| yoo that boss design is kinda cool !!! reona new ED song is so damn goood song !! |
| This is clearly a powerful Boss. |
| Well, Wethermon is like straight out from DS 2 Sir Alonne. Tbh they spend so many episodes building up this but they still fail to make me care about this guy and Setsu. They try to give it a sad vibe but refuse to explain anything really, making this whole fight feel hollow and video game-ish. Heck , i dont care much about the pvp model girl too cuz they don't bother to explain her backstory much either. I don't know it's the source issue or not but this anime really is not good at making us care about the backstory of a character/ villain. They try to build up this sad-vibe backstory but ultimately i dont feel anything from it. Tbh the wolf super boss looks much more interesting than this Wethermon guy. |
| Hmm... was the guy saying "Big Sis" As "gang" or "actual sibling"? Cause if it's actual sibling... it feels kinda bad... no way would I betray my actual family members... seems uncool. . Huh... so dying doesn't instantly reset the Boss (which is what happens in most MMORPG games when all aggro is lost, since Sun's the only one that's engaging the Boss, the other 2 are "out-of-combat") So they can pretty much just constantly revive over and over til they figure out how to beat the boss... hmm... |

| @amlg Yeah this mmo is pretty light hearted from what i see Can revive as you please , unlike some more raid focus MMO like Lost Ark. OHKO doesn't seem too bad if they can use item to revive tbh. |
| Goddamit, I want a Big Rabbit Oyabun... |
| Pretty cool boss fight so far but when's our boi gonna bust out the new daggers? |
 |
| Wethermon really gives off Dark Souls Boss vibes, huh? Really interested in seeing the strategy Sunraku and co. planned for him. Emul hissing was so cute! |
| umm....10 more episodes of this bore-fest. I can't seem to care about this story and they've made it so boring. |
