| Proud of what Psyger-0 is doing for the team. She's a key to their strategy so protecting her was essential. Similar to the previous episodes, this was a very intense one that relied on a combination of many attacks led by Sunraku. One of the best fight episodes imo for this arc. Sunraku and his party really pushed the limits of their powers here. |
 |
| I'm sorry but anytime they switch to Rei's normal voice and show us her armor and her chagrining up that, what seems to be some almighty fucking attack, I can't help but laugh out loud. But yeah, the setup from last episode paid off big time because thanks to it we got a basically fully action sakuga episode this time around, and everything looked fire yes... but HOLY FUCKKKK That attack from Rei... the build up, the chant, the ANIMATION, THE EVERYTHING WAS SO FUCKING AMAZINGGGGGGG. That scene where everything goes back to normal for a second and then it all comes back and THE SCREEN GOES FUCKING BLACK AND WHITE HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTT. God C2C, you are fucking INSANE. But sadly, yeah, it was a clone or whatever... xD Insane episode and arc man, don't know what to say, I'm speechless. It's up there with Weathermon FOR SURE. Just hope that like Weathermon the series dosen't just laze around and do a whole bunch of nothing for the rest of the season. |

| ...and the curse ate him. Yup, nothing to see here! Move along folks! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Seemed more like the mark was upgrading instead of disappearing; om nom nom. |
| . |
| I believe the climax is the worst part of the whole the fight. SLF is good at introducing things during fights, but I don't like how they handled Fearsome Dragon Breath, Bamboo Lightning and Exceed Charge: Reject. I don't think we've seen any of them until now, which makes the climax feel less impactful and the victory not earned, if that makes sense. It's SLF during the fight with Lycagon, so I can't completely hate the episode for it. Though I can't help but think that the climax would have been better with some tweaks... |
| Still can’t get over how much that AWICH OP fucks!! Great conclusion to the Lycagon fight, that’s how you fucking handle a hype boss battle in an anime. So much build up for Sunraku’s exceed charge and then Rei coming up clutch with her ult.. this was dope. But I’m really curious about the in game lore behind Lycagon now. This whole big battle was just a clone?? So how strong is the actual Lycagon?? And was that the OG that Sunraku fought last season or another clone? It’s pretty funny Lycagon has an actual personality and likes toying with players. The devs put a ton of work into the worldbuilding of this game. I really wish we had something similar to this irl. Ff14 probably the closest.. blue protocol could’ve scratched the itch but alas. good episode! And Rei finally got her moment to shine alongside her crush. I’m happy |

They didn’t beat her technically tho, just the clone. |

| ANOTHER great ep with the end of the fight the animation is so so so good,wow it is a real pleasure to watch SLF, with always funny scenes like the last one... can't wait to see the next one... |

| ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🔥🔥🔥 Armageddon looked fking insane even tho it was just a clone that was amazing still a W regardless |
| Fun Things Are Fun - Yui Hirasawa |
| Well, it was kinda obvious that they wouldn’t be able to defeat Lycagon, thanks to the new OP and ED spoiling that the mark wouldn’t disappear. But I thought another player would interrupt their fight, not that Lycagon would just turn out to be another clone, defeating which is a condition for obtaining a unique quest to fight the real one. Marinate1016 said: And was that the OG that Sunraku fought last season or another clone? I haven't read the manga, but I'm sure players can't fight the OG one unless they have a unique quest. Even Sunraku says at the end of this episode that it was just a shadow that gave him this mark. |

| Lol, He got eaten and died? XD |

| holy fuckin FIREEE! Rei-shi's Armageddon was such an eargasm and eyegasm, love the monochromatic effects! I was seriously thinking that this Lycagon fight was way too easy? Tho just thought that Sunraku has higher level and better skills/equipment now so maybe that's why... but im so glad that it wasn't even the real thing!! The Lycagon hype continues! Wonder what was that cute Lycagon about lol, Sunraku got eaten and probably got isekai'd to Lycagon's trial or something. |

@gorkthe134th Bro, what that makes no sense?
Of course, we haven't seen the previous abilities. We just met two of the characters, and Sunraku only just made his new weapons. Also, it is a trump card that takes a whole week to recover, so he wouldn't be using that ability willy-nilly, and it can only be used at night.

| @The_Black_B3ast And how does Sunraku know that? He just got his weapons, skipped Bilac explanation of how it works, skipped reading the docs when offered and then started his time with Rei using daggers up to this point. @gorkthe134th is right. SFL does amazing long fights, be this, Wethermon or the golden Scorpion among others, and whether they are carefully preplanned like Wethermon or with completely improvised tactics like now Lycagon, they are all grounded in a strategy taking advantage of the skillset already displayed previously... until the final moments which always get an asspull to finish it, which is a same after all the episodes. Talking about the Exceed Charge, both Akitsukane and Ceecrue have more leverage since they just got introduced. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| Rei attack might be the finest shoot since Wethermon sky clear, amazing. Good fight, guess the new skill might be to disperse shadows to reveal Lycagon's true nature, given by the eyes which are like a mask on the wolf face, maybe some kind of sorcerer from the divine era? |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| They managed to defeat Lycagon—well, sort of. It was just a copy, but that doesn’t make the victory any less impressive. If the copy was that strong, I can’t even imagine how overwhelming the original must be. Poor Sunraku, though—it seems Lycagon has a personal obsession with trolling him. Those cursed marks might just stick around and become an even bigger nuisance. 😅 I do have a question, though: can only those who passed the trial of the copy enter the special scenario to face the original Lycagon? Or can they bring along teammates who haven’t beaten the copy yet? If not, then Pencilgon and the others would have to track down and defeat a copy themselves—and that’s no easy task. Either way, it was an intense and well-executed battle. |

| What a drag they didn't get to beat the real Lycagon. And how ironic to get eaten at the end. This series has the bitchiest cliff hangers. |

| @The_Black_B3ast There is something I didn't like about this episode and I am myself trying to figure out what it is. As I said, SLF is usually good at introducing things during fights, but for some reason these felt different to me. It may be that the reason for using those abilities was not clear to me the first time I watched it. I think I misunderstood the line: "If it's hiding in the dark, then I just have to light it up!" (Maybe I even missed it entirely...) So I was confused about why Akane started attacking instead of trying to dodge. And then I didn't understand what Bamboo Lightning does; I thought it was also meant to be an attack that requires fire to work, for some reason... In general, I thought they ware waiting for Rei to finish her chant, so I got confused when I thought they started attacking. As for Exceed Charge, what @CorbanEsp said is true, it is a shame that SLF has a habit of ending its big fights using a surprise skill / ability. On the bright side, this doesn't mean Sunraku wins just because he is lucky; he did plan to use the skill / ability in question, we just didn't know it. I would like to rewatch one of these fights to see if they feel better knowing what skills the characters can use, it's just hard to find the time do so. |
| Holy shit that black and white nuclear blast was ABSOLUTE CINEMA! This show never misses when it comes to the battle climax! Also Lycagon trolling Sunraku is just hilarious lol  |

| @Builder45 I guess you don't pay attention. It's not the real Lycagon. it's just the clone. They beat it and got the EX scenario to fight the real one. |
 |
| Brah awesome attack from reishi, and to think they only defeated a clone. I had a feeling that was the case, especially when lycagon used a clone to fight with when shadows appeared. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
And then we got vore, that's crazy  |

| This episode was fire! Psyger-0’s Armaggedon Ultimate was insane, the animation was next level! Rei’s incantation had me on the edge of my seat, and Sunraku revealing the Gilta Brill’s ultimate was such a great moment. The ending was totally unexpected and hilarious, with the mark turning into a chibi Lycagon head and biting Sunraku. Everything was just perfect—10/10! |
They finally "defeated" that creature. And it seems like he's going to have a pet dog now.  |
| the ending was so cute, lycagon had a lil bird snack fr. also, as usual, massive respect to c2c/ the staff for giving us such raw and godly animation. sound fx was orgasmic too  insane sequence |
| Ok so Sunraku and team beating Lycagon, or a shadow version of it, was kind of like phase 1 of this fight and the potential real Lycagon is next, at least it makes this boss almost as impressive as Wethermon so far. Also, Lycagon "eating" Sunraku is probably a troll move or something and lastly I wonder if Sunraku still plans on meeting Rust and Mold, guess he'll be pulling an all-nighter to get to the meeting place. |
| ARMAGEDDON!!! C2C COOKINGGGGG |
