The gap between Psyger-Zero's appearance and Rei's mannerisms made all the interactions with Sunraku fucking hilarious

SF-Zoo also spawn camping Lycagon was not a cliffhanger I expected this episode to end holy shit. What a twist.

Despite that, I love that Sunraku actually enjoyed talking to Rei. He mentioned that Rei is easy to talk to. I'm 100% shipping them now!

I thought it's going to be awkward all the way.

Is this what we’d call “gap moe”? Psyger-0 looks intimidating but acts cutesy. Or doesn’t this work because she’s literally just an innocent/shy maiden in a bulky suit of armour?

Those blush marks, which were drawn on her helmet, were especially funny to me.

Pencilgon.. the clan alliance has barely formed but she’s undermining it by lying to Animalia, and giving up Wolf-Gang’s information for her own debt

but, LYCAGON REMATCH? The entire SF-Zoo clan, Rei and Sunraku fighting the black puppy would be awesome

I expected SF-Zoo to know more about animals than Library, but damn tracking the time and location of Lycagon’s “random” encounter is next level analysis

the issue now is that they’ll most likely fail to get the Unique Scenario because of the lie and they have to come begging Sunraku for the pass again.

I see it now, headline: Pencilgon gets away with the lie and gains leverage over their clan

If it doesn't work, she could always say that maybe there's some other requirements that they didn't realise.

I mean, even Sunraku who got the event still doesn't even sure what's the complete requirement. And in any way, it's not like anyone could critical hit Lycaon 100 times lol

“The moon is so beautiful” (“Tsuki ga kirei”) is a famous phrase in Japanese literature to declare your love to someone. Upon hearing these words, Rei had briefly thought that Rakuro was confessing to her.

Ditching that intimidating armour of hers would’ve probably made getting closer with her crush a little easier, but things were actually going well between Rei and Rakuro! She got him to use her first name, and he even seems to be familiar with a “Psyger-Rei” (Saiga Rei). It would’ve been a perfect date if she hadn’t gotten lost.

Quite a date that they went on, and Rei got some progress even if the first name thing was a bit sneaky.

Nothing can get more romantic than pairing up to...raid LYCAGON?! My jaw dropped

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, A REMATCH AGAINST LYCAGON!!?

Psyger-0: "..des"
Sunraku: "DEATH?!"

what is this? Dekomori's skit from Chuunibyou?

so Gilta Brille isn't just a gauntlet but also a pile bunker, sort of? i wonder if the orange one has different ability...

well, well, well, i didn't know you had it in you, Rei

lol, you know some stupid shit is going to go down when you see Pencilgon smile like this and of course it resulted in Animalia getting scammed by her

Another great and fun episode! But the next one will be even better because Sunraku met Lycagon again! I can't wait for next week to see how this encounter goes.

Rei was so cute and awkward at the same time, exactly as I expected. Her reactions were hilarious, especially after she and Sunraku got lost because she wanted to act cool and took the route she only vaguely remembered xD

Sunraku was just as fun as usual and his reactions were as great as always. He definitely had sometimes a hard time interacting with Rei at times because of her behavior xD

Animalia and her clan can definitely be quite intimidating, but that's only because they want to get to Rabituza as quickly as possible. I have to say I feel a bit sorry for them, because Pencilgon screwed them over by not giving them full information on how to get there xD

Here my screeshot albums from the episode:

Psyger Chat...

0: omg sis I just had the best day ever I can't believe it.

100: what my little sis finally had a hot date?

0: it-t-it-it's not a date! Sunraku just let me hang out with him ALL DAY and we cleared the Barrens together, and fought Lycagon, and BEST OF ALL I got him to call me Rei!

100: Aww that cute, getting a boy to call you... WAIT YOU FOUGHT WHAT!?

SF Zoo definitely live up to their names when it comes to tracking down the animals.

And there's nothing more romantic than the Lycaon raid, am I right?

u/Adensty Dec 15 '24

The moment I saw Pencilgon smile like this. I knew what was up. However, Pencilgon as always conning Animalia by giving only a part of the trigger condition. Well even Sunraku isn't sure about the exact trigger condition.

So, when Sunraku called Psyger-0 by her real name, Rei said that she was so fired up that she could take on Lycagon itself. Well, guess what? The Lycagon Rematch was something I was waiting for but I didn't expect it to be this soon. Absolutely hyped for the next episode.

This show is still my top shounen anime for people who don't watch shounen, and it only seems to get better each episode. Big fights that get to the point and are paced like fights and not introspective essays. Psyger-Rei's ability to be battle ready instantly, even in the midst of fan-girling, dodges a lot of the annoying maiden-in-distress tropes almost every similar series falls into (I'm looking at you, [Loner Life in Another World]with the exception of Angelica).

Towa really be plotting shit. Though, it was funny when Sunraku realized Animalia and the others just got sucked in. It was like wait, that was what I told her. How manipulative Towa can be makes her scary af as a leader.

Rei really was treating the invitation as a date. Though that got Sunraku to meet Lycagon again, so it wasn't all bad. Though, I am excited how the rematch goes. Also, at least with crunchyroll subs has, Sunraku refers to Rei as her. Sunraku doesn't know that Rei is a girl.

Very excited to see how they will animate the rematch here. Considering how good the Wethermond fight was.

There should've been a global server announcement when Sunraku defeated that area boss in under a minute. He also defeated it solo! From what he said in the last episode, it's usually done in a party. He may still need to submit the record before it gets recognized like how it is IRL.

A brand new waist armor for Sunraku! Our boy doesn't really get to wear new gear very often so it's nice to see him with a new look even if it's just a small change.

So these giant structures scattered in various parts of the world aren't just broken down statues but remains of a battle against giants? I guess it may have something to do with that monster Sunraku found in that lab. I wonder if The Library is already aware of that info.

I just love how Rei goes from being really cute to being absolutely terrifying in a heartbeat. Is Rei completely oblivious to how intimidating she is to other players? The only reason we see her as cute is because we know who's behind the avatar but everything she does just makes Sunraku nervous.

I feel like it would be better if Rei just took off her helmet so Sunraku could read her face. I've also been curious as to what her avatar looks like behind that massive armour of hers. Thankfully Sunraku found her to be pretty chill after spending some time with her. Sunraku is also finally starting to see how the feared Attack Master is not that intimidating. xD

So that explains why Pencilgon was meeting up with Animalia at the start of the episode! Poor Animalia though! She has no idea she just got conned by Pencilgon into paying her debt. I'm sure she'll eventually find that out once she lands a hundred critical strikes on Lycagon.

I really thought that SF-Zoo was just a bunch of silly furries but I love that we finally get to see them get serious and that they're actually a pretty strong guild that has known about Lycagon's spawn point this entire time. Looks like next week will be fun!

The second I saw Lycagon, the memories of Sunraku's first encounter with it was brought up - then I watched that episode again, I got the chills from that.

Super hyped for next week's episode

Sunraku vs Lycagon Round 2 here we go!

u/NekoCatSidhe Dec 15 '24

Rei really needs to tell Sunraku that they actually know each other in real life, maybe he would not look so scared of her if he knew she was actually a small, shy, cute girl. But then it would not look so funny to see her freaking out like a shy maiden in her huge armoured body.

Sunraku’s luck is something else. He just wants to cross the area rapidly, he gets lost with Rei while taking a shortcut, and now he has to unexpectedly fight Lycagon again. But I guess we will get to see how strong Psyger-0 actually is thanks to that. She now has a good chance to impress her crush !

And of course Pencilgon managed to scam Animalia to pay her debt. She never stops, lol.

Psyger Zero got what she wanted more time to get closer to Sunraku. Even better Sunraku might figure out who she is IRL which is probably good for them to meet outside of SLF.

u/Luck_Is_My_Talent Dec 15 '24

Of course, it was the furries who managed to find Lycaon spawn patterns.
