As a fan of Armored Core, i appreciated the recent 2 episodes but i really hope we get back into SLF soon as the CG in Nephilim Hollow has been a pretty big downgrade from the otherwise great animation we’re used to getting

@SleepingNinja15 it was 3 episodes, roughly 12.5 percent of the show
@StateofOhayo No it wasn't. It was 2 full episodes and since you want to split hairs about it the 3rd episode he logged in at 13:00 and the episode ended at 20:20. 7 minutes & from 2:21 to 9:49 was SLF. The rest of the time between was him IRL talking to his sister.

You know what? This was a pretty cool mini arc with the way Sunraku was able to figrue out a way to beat Rust. She seems to be a hyper fan of the game or at least of fighting robots. Has she any kind of correlation to the new character introduced by the end? Who knows really.

Rust top habilities:

- Looking worried but then smirking to show how over the top she is (this happens like 10 times per episode)
- Using a simp to feed her information about the opponent movements (AKA 2x1)
- Thinking she knows anything about the other game, when she actually only took a simple quest that might possibly relate to a unique monster


Apart from that, just a generic tomboy that screams a lot and it's really not as smart as she believes.

I'm glad this is over and we can go back to SLF...

Rust is hella cute

She said she had the sea monster quest but rabbit samurai guy said she was endorsed by the dragon one. Must be a curse / mark / scar like sunraku right?

The hell they didn't show that second duel what a waste
@PrimeX it wasn't very interesting anyway. A trick robot built to counter a specific build vs a new op one, and rust knows all the tricks by know>
The fight probably lasted 5 seconds

@noyza2132 We don't know if Akane and Rust are same person. There is lot of that hints, they are, but being involved with different collossi makes it less obvious possibility.

Rust is a mecha fan. Cool 👍 Looking forward to seeing her re-joining ShanFro again.

Also, we finally got to know the blue-haired ninja girl from the OP. Glad to see she's apparently of the friendly type of player. Not to mention she's pretty cute and has Tanjirou as vorpal companion!

Fairly enjoyable mini-arc overall. Looking forward to seeing Sunraku playing other games in future.

So, no one noticed that Sunraku confirmed Vysache as a colossi? Only they - the unique monsters - get the bonus unique scenarios. Specifically, Vorpal Epic for Vysache.

And of course Sunraku managed to defeat Rust's robot... until she summoned a new one right after the fight lmao, but it's cool that her and the other dude are ShanFro players as well so they can give him new scenario infos eventually... it would be cool if they could play together at some point

I'm not SAYING that Akitsuakane is Rust...all I'm saying is that they very deliberately ended the episode by

1) Disclosing to us that Rust had an SLF character at a fairly high level (at least enough to have later-city unique quests)
2) Indicating that she was going to return to SLF
3) Doing a last second reveal that Akitsuakane has a large scar under one eye, the same distinguishing mark as Rust (opposite side, though)

JUST SAYING (different VAs does pose a problem though...)
@amf85 Different character. You will see rust soon.

Was it the first time when we saw Sunraku's beak open? :o Cannot recall, but maybe before...
I just also wondered, how funny it must be for seiyuu, when most of the role is monologue here xD

Interesting to know that to go to the palace in the rabbit kingdom is to get a mark from one of the unique monsters.

Well my prediction about how he approached her was at least 50% true, obviously didn't know about the legs but the rest was correct. Bruh I was about to say what's the point of using the crab again, you've already revealed all your secrets so there's no point now, it's a one trick, once you know what it does it's not that big of a deal. Like he's obviously either gonna lose or tie now, but probably lose. I do like this girl though tbf, she's kinda crazy but honestly I prefer her over the main "love interest" and Arthur. Ceecrue's voice is defenitly familiar. Anyway yeah Sunraku isn't gonna like this lol.

Shangri, Episode 8 time. Or should I say Nephilim Arc Continued. Through the power of crabs, we return to the clean chop of Twine's arm. Once more, new features with seemingly strong drawbacks come out of the woodwork to get em. They lost the moment they gave up their advantage for pride. The Crab has more than one way of dishing out damage. And it got the W. Way for a light speedster to lose to a hunk of metal XD but he only needed a hunk of metal in the end. The mech people can be sad they lose out on Sunraku, we need more SLF.

Don't know why the mech queen would know of the Abyss Unique Monster and just leave SLF, even if they didn't have readily available mechs on the normal game route. Surely they could do something with the octopus creature that could lead to their own mechs. Rust L moment. And they get stuck back in robot fights again XD

Cue them spending all night fighting with mechs... (not really). But we're out of that game now, so progress! Even some new Rabbituza peeps and what looks like Rust in SLF. Took no time at all for her to get there huh. Vorpal Bunnies have their connections everywhere.

The fight was fun. Sunraku loves pulling out random tricks. Learning about the unique monster makes this little arc feel more important but I enjoyed focusing on games other than Shangri La Frontier.
We finally get to meet the blue-haired girl from the op. I love the little bunny's accent.

Not only did we recently get introduced to Rust and Mold but now a blue haired girl named Akane?? Interesting, I wonder if those 3 characters are interconnected (besides being in SLF) or if it will lead to separate storylines, curious to find out.

Sunraku has got Rust beat by a hair using every bit of the the game's assets, good or bad, to his advantage, and as much as Mold can provide to her info on the fly, it's the decision to take this to a close fight and reveal more secrets that he has engineered for his fake-outs to win the match. That's pretty much all he needed, as he needs to get back to SLF, and the playerbase, as much as they're excited for his return, Rust being one of SLF's players...and knowing what he needs there for secret info, it's critical intel.

Rust and Mold knowing the unique scenario tied to Ctarnidd of the Abyss, but Sunraku being as cautious as he is no thanks to both Pencilgon and Oikatzu, as much as the two tried to find robots to no avail, this creates a chance for Sunraku to help them both out since they have experience dealing with the quests. And as for Nephilim Hollow, Sunraku will log in again when she finds herself a new Nephilim of Ashen Astimony...or rather, is waiting for the reveal for quite some time to battle once again anew, though that time will have to wait for a next time.

A great relief for Sunraku, while Emul's big brother Ceecrue has come to find their father Vash for Siegwarm's qualification, and the person being similar Rust by her SLF avatar, it remains to be seen if it's truly her.

Great link between games, to show that SLF is still the bigger picture.

Sunraku beat Rust finally. Some info. about SLF was shared between them. And, Rust was ready with a new Nephilim to fight Sunraku once again. He most likely lost the second time but he had fun. And, now we're back to Shangri La.
