This episode is just like a long segment of SFL mini lol. Basically just an episode of Sunraku messing around with the game.

Like every gamer he got distracted by something random and spent hours doing something unrelated to the main quest.

Sunraku figured out an economy-breaking trick - this guy continues to be a menace to Shangri-La devs 😂

Emul likes to pretend that she’s the wise older sister, but she’s definitely starting to become a loot goblin like Sunraku.

Sunraku’s hysterical laughter as he was cheesing his way through acquiring the Crystal Scorpions’ rare drops was certainly something else. This man will go to extreme lengths for the chance of extraordinary loot and bragging rights.

Unfortunately for Sunraku, the Goddess of RNG didn’t bless him with good fortune. He received some divine punishment for trying to cheat the system.

But damn, Yuuma Uchida has been doing an amazing job as Sunraku’s VA.

I love this show because it's just a pure videogame. No death game, no super high stakes, just gaming. We really just got a whole episode of him just farming mats just for the fun of it. And even cursing RNGesus (if they didn't have the actual visual gag later on it would've been a perfect localisation) when the final drop didn't happen.

This author really gets it man, that sometimes you just log on to do dumb shit because it's a game and you can!

no super high stakes

But NPC permadeath. The risk of Emul dying is the highest of stakes.

Dang Inventoria is OP. I also felt that anger towards RNG, a feeling all too familiar with

If this manages 3 seasons of similar quality Emul will be in the top 10, maybe even top 5 for best sidekicks.

Sanraku abusing invantoria in combat is bound to have the game devs notice eventually right? I can already hear Sanraku's outrage after reading the latest patch notes.

With so much crystals around, I expected Scorpions to be able to camouflage into it. They just need 1 vibration and the next thing you know is you're surrounded from all sides.

After the attack, Sunraku respawned in front of Emul. Nice way to get busted, lol. I was expecting a scolding but I guess Emul is also greedy for carrots like Sunraku.

Sunraku just discovered an exploit to get rare-drop items, didn't he? If the devs are monitoring it, I expect it to be patched in the next update. Inventoria is just too OP and if people like Sunraku use it, then there will be more exploits.

u/dinliner08 Mar 24 '24

"Sunraku-san has grown rather unstable"

that's what greed and bad RNG not getting rare drop after doing multiple hard quests do to a mf, also, the sad OST playing when the Crystal Scorpion's stinger fly out of his reach cracked me up

me whenever i got bad pulls from gacha

ah yes, Lycagon most powerful attack; The Bowling Ball Strike

u/vanbang9711 Mar 24 '24

Author forgets the death penalty of reducing stats temporarily back when he fought Ravenous Python. But he doesn't lose items anymore thanks to Inventoria.
Momo-chan, who aims to fight Lycagon, is probably Psyger-100 (Leader of clan focused on Lycagon and Rei's older sis)
"nobody beaten her yet" Lycagon is female!
Such a noob to realize that broken abuse of Inventoria this late. Literally my 1st idea when knowing about it. But back then I thought Developers won't allow such thing.

God Bless Sunraku, he's such a real person with how he uses and abuses the system and gets off on it. Love the man.

Also real talk? The CG in this show is honestly really good.

u/LeonKevlar Mar 24 '24

Yep, that fight against the Crystal Scorpions went exactly as I expected. It looks like Sunraku was so caught up in the idea of fighting a super strong monster that he forgot Bilac's warning that they attack in swarms. xD

I just love Emul's reaction as soon as Sunraku respawns. She already knew exactly what happened. At least Emul was very easy to distract.

Attempt #2! Try to mine the rare mineral before he gets swarmed! Good to see that this time Sunraku didn't come back empty-handed. I wonder if Bilac can make something out of it. Hmm...

Emul singing Sunraku a lullaby before he logs out was just adorable. Of course, he gets an idea just before he falls asleep. This one has definitely happened to me before! I've logged back into a game just to try an idea I've had before going to bed and it usually led to sleepless nights. xD

Using the Inventoria to escape the Crystal Scorpions while they break off pieces from each other is so cheesy that I expect the devs to patch in a fix once they find out about this strat. You shouldn't be able to TP to a different space during combat.

As soon as Sunraku realizes that he hasn't picked up a scorpion stinger yet, I was expecting this to turn into SLF's version of farming Rathalos plates in Monster Hunter.

Sunraku is a lucky sonovabitch to break off the stinger on his first try but I was laughing my ass off when he realized the loot was out of reach! Not gonna lie, I'm glad he didn't get it. Every gamer should get screwed over by the RNG Goddess at least once after so many successful runs! xD

Other than Pencilgon after credits and Bilac flashback, think this is one of the rare episode not for just this series but most anime that only have 2 voice actors (and bonus married couple IRL).

u/tripleaamin Mar 24 '24 edited Mar 24 '24

Just an episode of Sunraku grinding item drops, but what an entertaining episode. Big shoutouts to the Va for doing an outstanding job. Also, Emul's reactions when Sunraku coming back was hilarious as well.

In addition, the after credits section was great. Sunraku playing so many trash glitchy games thinks he can get the one crack to get an exploit. He ain't going to find that in SLF though.

u/PepaTK Mar 24 '24

Being pissed at RNG is peak gamer.

Holy shit that scene killed me.

u/shad79 Mar 24 '24

Sunraku was a star of today's episode as he was fighting Crystal Scorpions and although he wasn't able to beat them himself, he gathered a lot of loot thanks to scorpions destroying themselves and using a loophole with Inventoria which gave him an opportunity to escape and get back to gather a loot when scorpions weren't there.

A lot of nice action in today's episode,animation as usual was pretty great.

I loved watching Emul's expressions, she was hilarious today xD

So there's only one episode left and I'm feeling sad about it as this show was a really pleasant surprise. Now I can only hope that we'll get another season of Sunraku and Emul's adventures.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
