| Sunraku's work ethic is honestly admirable imo. He fought until he encountered a gold scorpion. Maybe part of it was due to luck but felt like he just didn't give up until he at least gained some xp. Classic RPG gamer move. On another note, these latest episode has been following mostly on his journey like a gamer protagonist. He's improving everyday. |

| That was the best fight of the series after Wethermon! Sunraku said so himself! Respect to the Golden scorpion for fighting til the end. They were a formidable opponent. C2C is showing the anime world what can be achieved if a studio focuses exclusively on a single series for a few years! Both the 3D and 2D were great! The texture of the scorpion was a little busy but it works well enough. The flaming scorpion was LIT (pun intended) and Sunraku's movements had a surprising number of frames. The effects were decent. The 3D ones did stand out too much in some cases, but the 2D ones were great. Overall, my favorite episode of the Season! Also, SLF Theater is back!!! 🎉🎉🎉 It's a good one at that! (Not that any SLF Theater has ever been bad.) |
| So that’s what Emul does when Sunraku’s offline |
| It took a while, and lots of quick tactical analysis, experimentation, observational haki, kiting, cat's paws, and still data mining all that time but it looks like a good game indeed, Sunraku. Hey the SLF Theater is back. Yey! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Man I swear every ShangriFra big boss fight is a must see event and spectacle and I LOVE how Sunraku has to use all his knowledge of the game mechanics, his abilities and learning his opponents’ tendencies to come out on top as opposed to the usual VRMMORPG anime with the MC being OP. Golden scorpion fight was epic, I think it was just as good as weathermon tactically, but the animation didn’t look as good to me. This more so felt like your usual SLF episode production wise. Still, I love how it lasted the entire episode and every time Sunraku thought he had him finished off he’d just keep going, just like those souls multi phase fights. Took every trick in his bag(literally) to finish off the scorpion It’s also dope that they incorporate the lore of the game into the fight mechanics, like Sunraku mentioned the moon playing a role in the enemy’s abilities. Small detail but if he can figure out what it is, he can find the best time to challenge enemies and know how to prepare. This anime is so cool cause it really is like a let’s play in anime format where we see a guy get better and better overtime! |

| Insta max-level. |

| GOD BLOW– I mean how can you run from a rare enemy right? Would definitely want to try and beat it for the drops! How did that gave him 20 levels!? What the hell, how much did he gain again with the Wethermon fight? Didn't know Shiny pokemons gives so much EXP. +More lore, both Lycagon and Wethermon do be associated with the night/moon. Feels like the game's final boss being in the moon would also be epic. And something about it reminded me of Log Horizon once again lol Im excited to see what kind of weapon/s will be crafted from those golden crystal scorpion!! |
| it was so so good i love the manga but the anime is doing an amazing job |

| You know, we were kinda missing an episode dedicated to a full fledged battle against an enemy with that many tricks up its sleeve. Melee attacks, long range attacks, incredible durability, regeneration, it was nasty alright. Thankfully, Sunraku in his innate ability to react and adapt quickly to these scenario pulling off the correct skill, weapon and both dodge and attack strategy was able to overcome it and gain 20 levels in the process. What a deal. This is way different from other animes that present you with a scenario like this and then the mc wins somehow. Here all of his tools have been already presented, what may be op in his reaction time maybe but you can still see it in a way as feasible. |

| what a waste of an episode, noting burger fight with random miniboss and mc yapping for 20 min straight. amazing |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| the fight scenes are so well animated |
 |
| I didn't expect a golden scorpion showing up, but it was probable that they where not going to give our man a new weapon and make him progress the story of the show that easily, the fight was cool and him getting 20 lvls is something i actually predicted when watching would happen lol. From the story aspect was a nothing burger but for the gaming aspect it was really cool, its very hard to have anime that actually convey a gaming story properly, this is the type of stuff that is just pure gaming fun that you would do when playing a game like this. I think the only other MMO oriented anime out there that does it this well is kings avatar but it does it from the perspective of chinese and SEA style mmos which i'm not particularly a fan of. |
| Yay! Mini is back! Emul is so adorable. I really liked the gold scorpion animation. Well done. But going up 20 levels against just a rare boss and not a unique? Even with all those minions. Not buying it. That one's just broke, devs, I thought this wasn't supposed to be a trash MMO? |

| Best episode after the Wethermon fight!! |
| Legit expected a server warning "Unique monster, Goldy, has been defeated" (given the 7th unique monster is still unknown) |
| What a fun episode that was, it was a great fight. I liked seeing the strategy Sunraku used throughout it. I'm sure Bilac can make some great equipment from Goldy. |

| kinda boring the scorpions were never more than time filler to begin with. More interested in the plot development than the typical battle Shonen filler. |
| By far, this best episode of the season. This whole episode being just Rakurou is what really fleshes out the episode. Mainly because the skills he obtained from trash games and bringing them into a god-tier game, you get to see his creativity in trying to cheese the enemies. One of those cheese methods leading to the introduction of a rare boss. The gold crystal scorpion. This is not on par with the Wethermon the Tombguard in action sequences, length of fight, and creativity in cheesing, but this episode is still worth watching as a runner-up because the gold crystal scorpion is definitely a good fight. |
| Sunraku lowkey has a PhD in metagaming, a dev's worst nightmare. I hope there is a dev character at some point so we can see their point of view during all his shenanigans. |

I thought this was shangri las worst episode lol it just felt like filler with some bs cgi monster
| @Bustanut214 I can see how the CGI monster can be BS, but everything else about the episode really shows the type of skills that Rakurou can bring to the game. It seems like he's really testing the developers. Killing a rare boss using cheese methods at a much lower level than what the boss is. I would only see it as a filler episode if it offers nothing of value. Just like Naruto. I think this episode did. I also wouldn't be able to tell if it's a true filler episode because I haven't read the manga. |
| First of all, Emul is just too cute, anyone would fall asleep to that lullaby! I honestly don't know if Sunraku is lucky or not to encounter such a rare monster, but that fight was fantastic, the second best, after Wethermon. The golden scorpion gave him a huge amount of experience to level him up to level 99. I can't wait to see OiKatzo's reaction when he realizes how much Sunraku has leveled up, and Bilac's face when he sees all the materials he has gotten. |

| That poor golden scorpion is really amazing to fight till the end XD |

| SLF Theater is back. Today is a good day. Also devs are gonna nerf Inventoria's usage so bad lol. Pretty intense fight against the Golden Scorpion from the OP. Can't wait to see Bilac's reaction when Sunraku shows up with the new materials. |
| Dude solo'd a rare spawn And insta leveled by 20 levels... LOL Not only that, but he got some rare materials, Crystal Scropis were already amazing enough for the bunnies, The bunnies are gonna faint when they see the gold one. . LOL @ the SLF Theater. "Is she my wife?" Which is technically True |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| What an amazing episode. This studio doesn't get enough credit for being able to do 20 straight minutes of raw action. It might not be as explosive as jujutsu kaisen or similar "sakuga shows", but it's consistently such a high bar. |
| He up 20 level after defeated the gold scorpion!!!! kekeke |
| Oof, the CG is really rough in this one, when the golden scorpion is chasing Sunraku it is literally walking on thin air and the perspective makes no sense, I caught that instantly on first viewing. Seems that they blew all the budget on episode 1's animation. Bad looking cg, ok but scorpion walking on air smh. |
| Caveman draw anime girl on cave, Caveman happy. Cityman angry at cave drawing, Caveman throw club at Cityman. epic candy :   |
| Wow full episode of Sunraku vs Gold Scorpion. SLF is back and the joke is so Meta. Context: they are married IRL lol |
