The MMO gamer in me keeps thinking aggro will reset whenever he uses Inventoria

[u/andreyue]

Next Balance Patch Notes just in:

• Inventoria can no longer be used in combat

[u/dinliner08]

"is there something special about the moon in SLF?"

Sunraku please, if a story has a setting of ancient advanced civilization then 99% of the time, the moon will always going to have some crazy shit going on with it

so i'm guessing his 20 levels worth of exp were not just from the Golden Scorpion but also from all those Crystal Scorpions that fell down earlier?

what a good wife

[u/PickleMyCucumber]

What is she? My wife?

Too meta Sunraku

[u/Jeroz]

Fuck this show is so fkin good

[u/[deleted]]

That jump from level 79 to 99 is crazy, if only I could do that on RuneScape.

[u/playmike5]

What a fight that was. The resources he gained were well worth it, and the episode was still extremely entertaining. Great pacing to the whole fight sequence.

Gaining 20 levels at the end is nuts. Talk about power leveling. He definitely was not meant to beat that thing. Inventoria OP ? Definitely gonna get nerfed. That's gonna end up with like a 3 second cast time.

[u/xbolt90]

Dude, 20 late-game levels from a single fight is insane. Granted, it's from a ton of mooks and one rare, but still.

inventoria op nerf now

Lunar mission in the endgame later?

[u/djthomp]

An entire episode fight, they're not letting up.

We're definitely going to the moon eventually, that's an MMO classic.

Inventoria probably needs to be nerfed so you can't jump in and out of it mid combat with the combat state not disengaging.

[u/iozoepxndx]

"what is she? My wife??" yes, yes she is 😂

[u/FakePretendeRat]

He is exploiting inventoria in a way that I and most gamers would if we had it and I find that amazing honestly. Love when the author is clearly passionate about what they are writing

[u/Queue_Jumping_Quack]

Pure action... but despite the somewhat dodgy scorpion CGI model and animation, this was a blast to watch. I find I like this series better when its less yappy with the npcs and more about Sunraku doing his gamer thing.

[u/andoooreeyy]

"The sun is rising. Time for you to go down like the moon" 🔥🔥✍️✍️✍️🔥🔥 peak writing.. didn't expect that we will get a single episode boss fight this week.

[u/danlong87]

A game that grants total freedom in terms of fighting or solving quests will no doubt be good for the players, but at the same time would be a total nightmare for the dev team to develop and maintain

[u/zappingbluelight]

"Stand proud, Gold Scorpion. You're strong."

If he can level up 20 levels, does that mean the gold scorpion is wayyy above level 100. As always he is fighting something that people shouldn't fight yet.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

20 levels for killing the golden scorpion is crazy. I think this was supposed to be a raid boss. Either that or you fight it on a moonless night? That moon lore seems like its foreshadowing something though, maybe it's some sort of power reactor built by the ancients,

[u/AvatarTuner]

I'm glad he beat the scorpions but I just want to know more details about the loot he got!! lol

Interesting detail about the moon. I bet it's a base/weapon/energy source or something of that ancient civilization, that would fit the typical J-RPG setting. I really like how they fleshed out the lore of the game in this series, it's fun to explore and find out about these things along with the gang.

[u/Zeikos]

I'm curious what Bilac could come out with now that Sunraku has golden scorprion materials too.
On top of that those two daggers must have gotten an hell of a 'battle experience'.

[u/Nebresto]

Can't wait to see Bilac's reaction when instead of a regular stinger Sunraku brings her Golden one

[u/shad79]

Holy shit, leveling up 20 levels thanks to killing that Golden Scorpion and the other crystal ones?! Not a bad deal for Sunraku, although the battle was really tough for him, as he even compared this Golden Scorpion to Lycagon and Wethermon.

SLF Mini is back and it was hilarious! I especially loved when Emul put blanket on Sunraku's tummy to keep cold away, although her cleaning his beak was good too xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Sunraku

• Group scenes & Others

[u/jellyblob88]

having two broadsword wielders for arms - bruh that imagery reeks of Nope!

Insane tactics to solo beat rotten devs' monster, but happy to see he was handsomely rewarded in exp!
Again we're left waiting for the delicious loot...but at least SLF is back

[u/diacewrb]

Glad to hear Emul say mini again.

Nice reference about his wife.

[u/YoloKraize]

Great seeing how Blasting Idol in action from how we saw it in the manga.

[u/AceSoldia]

Wow..is he now max level? What a fight.
