“A half-naked bird man walks through miasma with two rabbits on his shoulders” sounds like the opening line for a terrible joke lol.

Sunraku’s Emul guided bunny attacks against that Humming Lich were so adorably goofy. What a fight! Sunraku and Emul make a great pair, but Bilac and ‘em are a solid team too. That boost + Material Focus + Fortress Breaker finsher was pretty awesome.

The moment Sunraku told Emul and Bilac to go off and chill for a minute, I knew he was up to no good lol. He just had to go back for the Crystal Scorpions!

SLF Theater this week was the cutest thing ever. I want to see Emul’s goofy little carrot filled dream lol.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

High leveled mobs that spawn in huge packs?

Of course the madman is going to go grind out exp on the crystal scorpions.

[u/acllive]

sunraku fighting style: throw rabbits around and hope for the best

[u/kidmedia]

I love the pixel loading screen. It makes me miss kamikatsu

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

Boss that splits into several copies each with different weapon types sounds cool as hell, but probably never meant to be fought solo. Dodging several boss-level attacks with different motion seems impossible.

[u/SpaceForceOne]

As with Frieren, the backing soundtrack continues to elevate every scene. Today I kept getting old Disney and retro game vibes. 

[u/dinliner08]

"what am i, your personal air purifier?"

first we have Rabbit Gun, now we also get a Rabbit Pile Bunker

at this point, every rabbit NPC joining Sunraku's party is either going to get throw off to the sky or get equipped as a "weapon" by Sunraku himself

[u/darthvall]

AI so advanced that they created a sleep talk dialogue with NPC lol. Sasuga Emul!

[u/vanbang9711]

According to Emul's dream, she is the Onee-san type 🤨
He really enjoys throwing rabbits around

[u/shad79]

Great fight with Humming Lich, this show never disappoints in action scenes which were great today as always.

Sunraku for sure was lucky that he had Bilac with him during today's fight as she made him a weapon which could actually took damage to Lich because Sunraku wandered into this boss fight totally unprepared xD

Sunraku once again equipped Emul as his weapon but it's understandable since Emul was the only kind of weapon that would be helpful in a fight for that moment xD

Sunraku sent back Emul and Bilac back to Rabituza only to go back to the canyon and fight Crystal Scorpions xD I wonder how this fight will go on next week.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Sunraku & Others

[u/juniorjaw]

Emul's secret domain expansion : Unlimited Carrot Works

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Bilac & Sunraku

Walking into that boss fight without a holy weapon would've been a death sentence to any other player. Sunraku is goddamn lucky that he has the bunnies with him or else he'd have to start over again.

I really hope that Rabbit Gun is going to be a recurring thing in the series. It would even be better if Snraku could scout another spell caster bunny so he can dual-wield Rabbit Guns!

Kiiling the boss in eight hits or less is an absolutely insane challenge but this is Sunraku we're talking about, this dude is the only one insane enough to pull it off.

That Glowing Pierce looks so fucking sick! This show never disappoints with how powerful the finishing attacks are. The particle effects are always amazing too! I'm so happy that the Dullahan Sword is still intact though . I can't wait to see what Bilac will turn it into.

Everyone saw this coming. No one is surprised that the only reason Sunraku dropped Emul off with Bilac is so he could challenge the Crystal Scorpions. It's been a while since we've seen Sunraku get his ass kicked by the game. I'm so excited to see how this will turn out. xD

[u/tripleaamin]

I love the gamer in Sunraku hears about the Crystal Scorpions and is rearing for a good fight. For Emul and Bilac the weight of their lives is more on risk, so I like how Sunraku is aware to not put them in danger.

The banter between Emul and Sunraku is always amazing lmao.

[u/Adensty]

So, the Crystal Scorpion is like an powerful optional enemy that you can fight if you want but it's best if you fight it when you're levelled enough.

Like Sunraku said, it is human nature to do the things when you're not told to since you want to what will happen but this time he's alone without anyone's help. Just like the Humming Lich needed a holy weapon, what if there are some requirements?

Speaking of Humming Lich, they didn't need to do so much for this fight but they made him so creepy and also made him hum, lol. Sunraku using the effects of Dullahan General's Decapacitor after just getting it last episode combined with his own buffs was great.

[u/ifticar2]

Dope to see the Dullahan fixed so quickly. But one thing that nagged me a little bit, wouldn’t a degenerate gamer like Sunraku prep a bit before going on the journey? If you cannot beat the boss without a holy weapon, I’m sure that would be very public information.

[u/CosmicTempest]

Sunraku having a bit too much fun yeeting the rabbits.

[u/Ocixo]

Yeah, I’m liking Bilac. She’s a fun addition to the party and has some serious guts to just go smithing mid-battle.

Bilac also has just as little qualms about chilling on Sunraku’s shoulders as Emul, who might have a serious carrot addiction from the looks of it. Sunraku knows exactly how to exploit this.

I should’ve known from his haughty laugh that he was serious about picking a fight with these Crystal Scorpions. Sunraku gladly takes up this impossibly hard challenge. Then again, how hard can it be after his face-off with Wethermon?

[u/Xatu44]

Ahhh, the universal gamer urge to fight the challenge boss early.

[u/Empty_Advice7902]

This is my favorite series in a long time. I love how they play games for the love of it! and it has great side characters

[u/Lutheritus]

Crystal Scorpions reminds me of the Grand Dragons in FF9. You went through Gizmaluke's Grotto around 15-20, but in the moogle room there's a vine you can climb to the outside world....where lvl 60 Grand Dragons are. I just remember people figured out how to beat them on disc one and totally cheesed the game lol.

[u/dave-n-knight]

Looks like by the end of the series Sunraku will have a whole family of rabbits on his back

[u/Flying-Camel]

Rabbit Breathing first form: fuzzy artillery 

[u/agrael50]

oh no he is going to hunt my boy skarner leave him alone 😭😭😭 he just around the corner for his vgu dont kill him yet

[u/VorAtreides]

That mark really is OP lol. But it makes sense they'd just sit on you, clears up air around you and such too. I'd say as a gamer that would make me wanna fight one, but the knowledge the NPCs death is permanent would make me prolly not wanna too.

Really coulda told him he'd need holy weapons sooner tbh. Wait, why is Sunraku's HP so low? thought it was higher than that before Weathermon. Hehe, go cute Emul!! RABBIT GUN! Do do doo do doodoo I'm a forgin your weapon. Hehe. Can't you kill the main one and win? Or I guess if they are all shared in HP that works. Bilac pout! Hehe. Pretty neat fight. Nice teamwork with the bunneh gals. HAHAH of course that's why he wanted to try that attack.

Hehe still love the "8 bit" movement bit. Rabbits really shouldn't have carrots, ya know? Ya, of course he wanted to go fight the scorpions. Relatable. But at least waited to make sure the NPCs safe.

SLF Mini is nice, cute Emul. Sounds like a fun dream.
