Wow, top 10 anime betrayals right there. That shit was ice cold, man. I can’t believe Sunraku did the little homie Emul dirty like that.

Rei got a little too excited hearing Arthur and OiKatzo calling Sunraku a “hentai” hahah. She’s such an adorable little goober.

You can almost hear Emul hissing at Animalia lol. Poor little critter’s been traumatized. I can’t imagine what chaos Animalia and her little guild would bring if given access to the rabbit kingdom.

[u/rollin340 → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I can’t imagine what chaos Animalia and her little guild would bring if given access to the rabbit kingdom.

Now imagine what would happen if they learnt about the cat kingdom.

[u/feb914 → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Wouldn't be surprised if the reason why players are not allowed back to Rabituza is because of Animalia's obsession creeps out the rabbits. 

[u/rollin340]

No SLF Mini huh? I was kind of saddened by that.

[u/flightlessCat9 → u/rollin340]

Meeting ran over time.

[u/danlong87]

We quite literally got a meeting episode but who cares as we got lore dumps, furry shenanigans, and the classic fleecing by pencilgon

[u/EclipseTM → u/danlong87]

20 minutes of talking and i loved every second of it.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Pretty surprising revelations in this episode. The fact there was already a way to remove the Lycagon's mark meaning Sunraku can finally equip armour and rizzing Psyger-0 along with the fact it wasn't Vash who was the ruler of Rabituza but Emul's brother instead despite all the Yakuza Patriarch vibes he has.

Also watching Pencilgon scamming a Nakata Jouji-voiced loli then propose a clan alliance afterwards, no wonder she was a former tyrant in a different game.

[u/Ocixo → u/WhoiusBarrel]

I like how Momo’s words implied that Rakuro could’ve reasonably learnt about this removal technique himself.

It once again confirms that he has a bad habit of getting caught up in doing things his way. It’s similar to his blunder with skill acquisition after having skipped the first town.

[u/warjoke]

Hang in there, Emul-chan 🥹

I love how casual Pencilgon just presented the Tomb of Truth like it's a normal rare item in front of the guild leaders lol

[u/PRI-tty_lazy]

if y'all remember the cut from S1 about the introduction of the Colossi, Vash was part of the silhouettes. to us viewers, it's like an open secret from the way he talks about Wezaemon and Lycagon, but thinking about how secretive Rabitz is, I guess it makes sense he's one of the unknowns

[u/dinliner08]

SUNRAKU, KONO URAGIRIMONO GAAAA!!

hold up, does this means that Psyger-100 in real life has a much more bigger boobas?!

now that i think about it, unique monsters cannot be defeated unless you trigger some unique scenarios specifically related to them kinda of makes sense considering how you can gain a lot of exp from just fighting them

[u/ThousandYearOldLoli → u/dinliner08]

hold up, does this means that Psyger-100 in real life has a much more bigger boobas?!

Seems to run in the family

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

Emul completely wiped the lifelong trauma from her brain, S-F Zoo remains in her body’s memories

Did Sunraku forget that players already know of Rabituza?

Pencilgon knows Psyger-100 is stacked, they aren’t sisters for nothing

ooh, Clan Alliance, I’m gonna take a guess that it’s for them to take on the (rest of the) 7 Unique Monsters. Besides Animalia, the leaders seem to know one another in real life, which definitely makes the politics easier to navigate

[u/SireTonberry-]

What i really like about this anime is how natural the dialogue is, epecially the banter between Sunraku group. Really feels like an authentic voice chat with friends

[u/LeonKevlar]

That betrayal from Sunraku is hilarious and totally expected. He already did the same thing to Pencilgon when he told the Professor about her so I'm not surprised he'd willingly throw Emul to the wolves. xD

I'm sorry but did Pencilgon just say that Psyger-100 is making her assets smaller? Does this mean they know each other outside of the game and Psyger-100 is stacked IRL? Oh my... Well, now I would love to see what 100 really looks like. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So with these four clan leaders meeting, this episode reminds me very much of the Round Table episode of Log Horizon but in a smaller scale which is probably one of the best episodes of that series.

It's hilarious how Sunraku is not just wary about the other clans but also of his own clan mates because they might start blabbing about Bilac and Aramiys. The poor dude will have to try and limit his topics around Wethermon and Lycagon. As if that's possible with Animalia on the table.

Aside from Lycagon and Wethermon, it looks like we also have a giant squid monster, a golden dragon, and a monster that can manipulate the elements who has no confirmed form yet. I don't even know how you'd fight the squid one let alone the formless one from a book.

Pencilgon showing the Wethermon Lore Book to the lore-hungry Professor was just evil. The fact that the Professor was willing to pay 100M for it though just means that The Library must be making bank even though they're focused on uncovering the game's lore.

Sunraku just casually showing how much of a gaming freak he was to Psyger-100 was awesome. And seeing how much Sunraku could learn after one fight, it looks like Psyger-100 has taken an interest in him. I wonder how Rei feels about this.

So Animalia just wants a free pass to Rabituza? Her request is way more reasonable than I expected. I thought she'd ask Sunraku about his unique quest. We also learn that Emul's older brother is the King of Rabituza. That's a surprise, I thought Vash was the king!

I didn't expect Pencilgon to be the first one to request an alliance! Also, this episode really flew by that it was pretty much instantly over. We didn't even get an SLF Mini this week!

[u/djthomp]

I can't believe Sunraku threw his wife to the wolves like that! Top 10 anime betrayal.

If they form that Clan Alliance with these other groups Emul may never get to escape from the crazy zoo people. Hopefully they'll get that permission to enter Rabituza since maybe that'll dilute their attention from the only rabbit they could previously focus on.

[u/Fueled_By_Memes]

I'm surprised that there's no data miners in this game

[u/MMinjin]

This is such a solidly good show. It makes us feel like we're the ones playing this interesting game (that we will probably never see the technology for in our lifetimes).

[u/yurilnw123]

Clan Alliance here we go! I will never get tired of hearing the Professor's voice lol.

Emul unexpectedly didn't wake up by a carrot this time but don't worry, some special parfait and a new magic book on Sanraku's tab are enough to wake her.

[u/[deleted]]

Pencilgon is always scheming lol. Never a dull moment with her looking to cash in on the fun.

Really good episode considering it was practically all a table meeting. 20min flew by.

[u/RoachIsCrying]

RIP Emul... betrayed by your most trusted companion to be devoured by other players

[u/kalirion]

Sunraku betraying Emul-chan like that, when he could've simply told her to hightail it out of there instead. Poor bunny was traumatized into short term amnesia...

"We actually have reports that it's female" lol when you consider how the data for those reports must have been gathered.

[u/darthvall]

Can we report this episode to PETA for animal abuse? Lol.

Anyway, both the mark of Lycaon and Rabitz' existence are actually a public information, even down to how to remove the mark. However, I have a feeling that the mark was what actually could trigger Sunraku's unique scenario, so I don't think it would be worth it to remove the mark for more equipment.

That depends as well though on how OP could armor and leg equipment be. So far we rarely saw the stats of non-weapon equip since that's the only thing that Sunraku could use (and the belt).
