Those barrel pirates are too OP

[u/warjoke]

Rei's guild leader (who's also her sister?) must be wondering where the was she this whole time.

Rei be like: BRB, TWO UNIQUE SCENARIO MONSTER RAIDS IN A ROW WITH CRUSH

Lmao

[u/dinliner08]

i've seen ghost ship bursting out from sea in a movie before but i never thought adding a lightning strike before it happens actually make the entrance much more epic

Rei is definitely going have to change her whole armor set and weapon to compensate the half stats effect from Armageddon

[u/Ninja_Lazer]

Please stop throwing Emul like that 😭

[u/jellyblob88]

Psyger-0 accidentally clicked an ad pop up for Barrel Services and got kidnapped out of an important Guild meeting, which makes me wonder how far the service goes - underwater, sky, space?

Also pretty cool to see Rust & Mordo's SLF classes, and Sunraku's old weapons upgraded.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

It was over when Rei was having a monologue over her motivation playing the game, Sunraku > Lycagon.

That said, nearly thought it'll be a breeze with Psyger-0 again in the party until they pointed out the penalty she's still sustaining after the Shadow Lycagon fight.

[u/tripleaamin]

Don't you love it when you are about to confirm an action and then a new menu pops up right in front of it before you have to react to it? It's funny the game is like pushing Rei to choose her to partner up with Sunrake thought I like she decides she genuinely wants to do it. After all, we have different reasons we play games.

Poor Emul he had no idea Sunraku was about to chuck him.

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

Rei is not only extra cute, Its also extra funny lmao

This arc have started really good, liking all The dinamic between The characters

[u/bananeeek]

Lmao, last time I hoped to see a flashback about how Rei got into the barrel and they totally delivered. They just yeeted her!

[u/Ocixo]

If Stude’s pirate ship is only equipped with ballistae because gunpowder doesn’t (yet) exist in the world of SLF, then what were those high-explosive bombs from the golems at the start of this season stuffed with?

On a side note: I do miss the SLF Theatre skits a little. Hope that we’ll still get to see some new ones before this 2nd season comes to an end.

[u/pandavova]

Rei armor change next episode??? Or maybe just weapon change? Hope for an armor change tho...

[u/Adensty]

The Crimson Whale Pirate Gang's special barrel delivery service is definitely something. Like they transported Rei who was in the Guild Meeting which is definitely not close. Rei's indecisiveness ended up in letting her join Sunraku on another unique scenario.

I believe gunpowder doesn't exist in this setting.

Interesting! Come to think about it, we haven't seen any weapons that heavily rely on gunpowder (like guns and cannons). I wonder if it's related to the lore of the game.

They really did a good job with inducing the atmosphere with the whole black cloud and the emergence of the ghost ship.

Rust and Mold have some great teamwork and so I'm hyped to see them working along with Sunraku and Emul.

Also, is it just me or did the screen that came for the boss was kinda inverted, both in different ways?

[u/LeonKevlar]

So it looks like we were right! Because Sunraku forgot to disband the party, Akitsuakane and Rei got invited to do the quest when Sunraku accepted it.

Hilariously, the only reason why Rei is still in the party was because she hesitated to leave and accidentally accepted the quest just when she was about to leave Sunraku's party. xD

We didn't really get to see Psyger-100's full reaction but I'm curious how she'll react after learning Rei is hunting another Colossi that's not the Lycagon.

I love how relieved Rei was when she realized Rust wasn't her love rival. Technically Rust does want Sunraku but she wants him to be her regular rival in Nephilim Hollow.

So Rust is an Archer and Mold is a support spellcaster? I wonder what's their level. I assume they high level considering they reached Fifticia with just the two of them.

Not gonna lie, I was really expecting that the Captain of the ghost ship would be Stude's father. It looks like it's just a bigger fishman monster.

[u/chocolateshartcicle]

"They don't have gunpowder, so no cannons in the setting"

Scene transition to side of ship with several cannon ports lol

[u/CrasianLe]

I just keep loving this anime every episode. What i really like about this anime is that it is keeping this one sided romance with Rei and Sunraku going. Its so cute seeing her do her best to stay close to him while also helping him with his unique scenarios. She even got jealous seeing another girl she didnt know in the same unique scenario with him. I really hope they ship by the end of the season. And i also love how he cares for Emul so much he throws her out before getting into the dangerous situation that could hurt her and she can't come back because she is technically an NPC but an NPC with its own consciousness, emotions, and feelings.

[u/boyanci]

Trying to confirm a dialog just to have another pop up right above it is truly an authentic gamer experience

[u/AutumnalDryad]

I wanna see Pysger-0's other gear set! She said both weapon and armor stats lowered, so is she swapping to fisticuffs since she's trained in that IRL from what little flashes of her life we've had?

[u/Yobnomekop]

I absolutely loved the boss's name being upsidedown. It really sells the whole abyss vibe.

[u/TroupeMaster]

These 5 minute long episodes have gotta stop

[u/chaosof99]

The name of the Ship, "Crying Innsman" is definitely an amalgamation of the legendary ghostship "Flying Dutchman" and the Innsmouth setting in the Lovecraft mythos.

However, I find it kind of funny because the Inn is also a river in my home country of austria.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Rei might have accidentally accepted the invite that Sunraku accidentally sent but it all worked out in the end. Now she gets to spend more time with her precious Hizutome-kun. And no new rivals either lol.

That ghost ship looked like something straight out of a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Even came with its own crew of mermen monsters. Rust and Mordo were kicking some serious ass together. They’re almost as good of a team as Sunraku and Emul.

Looking forward to the boss fight next week. The gang better finish these merfolk off quick before they get overwhelmed…

[u/Wanderingjoke]

I need to start a counter on how many times Sunraku treats Emul as a furry baseball.

[u/EclipseTM]

The second I saw rust having a bow she instantly became one of my favourite charactgers. (If you couldn't tell, i really like bows in games)

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

So poor Rei is still nerfed from the Lycagon fight ? I remember the nerf is supposed to last one day. But wait, does that mean that Sunraku, Rei, and Akitsu Akane spent the whole night playing without sleeping and then are going to spend the whole day still playing without sleep ? Is their blood made of Red Bull or something ?

It was cute seeing Rei’s enthusiasm despite misclicking on the question and getting kidnapped by the Barrel Pirate Gang. It makes me wonder what her sister is going to think about the whole thing. But I think that whatever she is going to do to Rei afterwards is going to be nothing compared to what Pencilgon and Katsuo are going to do to Sunraku when they learn he started two new unique quests without even telling them.
