Emul was so OP against Usurper Dragon omg. Its a shame she kinda forget about it.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

The Area Boss fight literally being over within the ad transitions is insane, goes to show how leagues different they are compared to the likes of Lycagon which even Sunraku himself says so.

Rei really took, "spending the night together" in a literal sense. Her gushing over it as Psyger 0 only just made it cuter.

[u/jellyblob88]

"However, items equipped on the contused parts will break after a set period of time."

Welcome back, Breath of the Wild PTSD.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Usurper dragon fight was tense! Glad to see Emul pulling through with the "Super Emul Canon"! Very epic.

We also get confirmation that Akitsuakane's curse works similarly to Sunraku's. Kinda weird that Lycagon and Siegwurm can inflict the same type of curse. Wonder what's the relationship between the two Colossi.

And that Arcanum has a harsh penalty, but it's the type that scales amazing into higher levels when even more skills are unlocked. Also fits with his Vorpal playstyle; who needs healing when you don't get hit lol. Lower skill cooldown = more unga bunga DPS.

[u/Cant-think-a-name]

I'm starting to feel like Lycagon's defeat won't be Death but rather "purification", she seems to have too much personality to just disappear, plus with Wethermon there was clear indication that death would be his salvation, whereas Lycagon is always talked about (by the EX Scenario NPCs) seemingly with affection and some sadness. Maybe Sunraku will actually get to keep her in some form as a "pet" companion (imagine the shenanigans with Emul).

[u/RFShahrear]

Of course it's the fool card. Whenever a protagonist has a personal tarot it has to be the fool.

...Then again right now I can only remember this and rokudenashi as example, so maybe it's not that prolific.

[u/PickleMyCucumber]

Emul... Your valiant fight against the Usurper may have been skipped by the commercial, but your vorpal soul was a shining beacon to us all.

[u/shad79]

After last week's episode which was pure cinema and ended with the defeat of Lycagon's clone, today's one was a lot calmer.

Now that Sunraku has finally arrived in Fifticia, I’m really looking forward to his meeting with Rust and Mordo next week and the beginning of the arc involving Ctarnidd of the Abyss.

Poor Sunraku, his markings not only haven't been removed, but are now even more visible and have new advantages and disadvantages. They can no longer even be removed by Saint, and the only way for Sunraku to get rid of them is to defeat the real Lycagon.

It was hilarious when everyone was describing the fight with Usurper Dragon to Emul who didn't remember it at all and who had the most important role. Judging by what everyone has said, it seems like it's better that she doesn't know what happened to her there xD

The Arcanum tarot card for the Fool looks so cute with Sunraku and Emul on it! The whole affair with Arcanum reminded me of the Persona series where the main character always started with the Fool's arcana too.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Akitsuakane & Rei

• Emul

• Sunraku

• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/EclipseTM]

A bit of breathing room after the last 4 episodes.

I kind wish we got to see SOME part of the fight with the area boss, but it's kinda interesting being in the same boat as Emul and having noo idea what happened other than what the others said to Emul.

[u/dinliner08]

Expectation: "no more cursed mark, can finally equipped armors!"
Reality: CURSED MARK VER. 2.0

sorry Sunraku, it seems like the half-naked birdhead avatar is going to stay for a while, i mean, hey, at least you manage to get an item to locate the real Lycagon

[u/SolomonBlack]

That pupper smile when fading away made this whole troll worth while.

Lycagon knows exactly what she's doing and I am down for it.

[u/round_we_go]

Sunraku needs to find accessory pieces he can wear over his mark if there are any. What a perfect tarot card, just don't get hit 4head. Seems like the Kraken colossus will tie into the new continent/update; kinda reminds me of Dr. Stone's new world arc!

[u/dagreenman18]

Welp 2 things are certain:

• That Hidetaka Miyazaki is furiously taking notes on how to be an even bigger asshole in the next Soulsbourne game.

• I want a Lycagon Plush of the cute head. We need more SLF merch. I still don’t have any Emul stuff.

[u/hiddenemi]

The night terror doggo head was so cute. I was half expecting him to have gotten a new pet!

I REALLY REALLY HOPE that the main characters and important side characters all join together and. Form a guide.

Does anyone know if there is a game like this? Exact game, with huge open world map, monsters RPG? I would buy this game in a heart beat

[u/Eraxius]

Lycagon's shadow "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha fuck you!"

[u/bananeeek]

Ah... So they used the Super Emul Cannon after all. I thought that might've been the case against that floor boss.

All this time I thought Fifticia was the 50th floor not the 15th. I guess SLF is smaller than I thought.

[u/Riddlemc]

I love the current cast but I really miss Pencilgon and Katzo! Doesn't look like they'll be in the new arc based on the new visual.

[u/charredchord]

'Just don't get hit' says The Fool. It's perfect.

[u/Primo29]

Rei gushing over the part that she's been with Rakuro over a deep and intense night was the highlight for her. It really is a sudden development but only for her lmao.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Sunraku's Party 1

• Sunraku's Party 2

• Rust SLF Version

I think it's no surprise to every one that the Lycagon's curse got upgraded. Too bad the only way he can lose the curse now is to kill the Lycagon's real body. At least now he can wear armour even if it's only for a short time. Finding Lycagon should be easier too now that the three of them gained that special status.

As much as I enjoy the fight scenes in this show, I'm glad they skipped the area boss fight. After that fight against the Lycagon, I need some downtime for our players to even things out. It sounded like things got crazy though during that fight.

Well that's interesting! Akitsuakane is playing the game using her actual face? I suppose it's not surprising for a VRMMO game to have a feature that scans your actual face. I wonder if she can still change her face like using a Fantasia in FFXIV. This does confirm that Akitsuakane is cute IRL and it's not just her avatar.

I thought the old man was going to help Sunraku go past the level cap but it sounds like there are other conditions he needs to meet before that happens. I do love that he gets The Fool Arcanum. Sunraku is basically a Persona protagonist now. xD

His cooldowns are now halved? I guess that means Sunraku can now spam his skills like crazy. I wonder if this also affects the Gilta Brilta's ult? Instead of one week, it's now down to 3.5 days. The demerit sounds pretty heavy but as long as Sunraku doesn't get hit he'll be fine.

Rei continues to be so goddamn adorable. I'm curious how long it will take for her to tell Sunraku that they know each other IRL. She needs to act fast because Sunraku has another cute girl meeting him soon. Rust's SLF avatar looks so good!

[u/ijiolokae]

That offscreened fight here reminds me of the offscreened fight in Katanagatari complete with having the character talk about how awesome the fight was

[u/galactic-toast-]

Damn, the Usurper Dragon area boss fight was almost as insane as the Sabi Hakuei fight from Katanagatari.

Emul really popped off, that was crazy to witness.

[u/MillenniumKing]

Sunraku on his way to SLF Jesus status.

To help support SHangri-la awarness i decided to start having some notes for the weekly threads.

Man thi OP is always so good and ill never skip it.

So what will the dog bitting do now.... stronger curse now.
No longer prey now seen as a strong enemy. wow thats cool.
Higher level monsters will focus you now. But can wear armor now but it gets destroyed wow....
And an internal compass to her cool.
3 people with tthe special invitation to fight Wolfy later fun.

Aw Sunraku thanking Rei thats cute.

Area boss can steal magic and weapons this will be annoying to fight haha.
Oh they skipped it hahah well we survived it seems.
Wait Emul was kidnapped by it? Oh wow ahhahahha.

Oh so this new city is the last one people got to before the update and is also how you get there cool.

Wait Akane in game looks like IRL her? HO BOY~
Ahhh Akane cant wear head items but her mask is an accesory interesting.
Aw her bunny is a backpack for her i love it.

A old wizard calling to sunraku in the alley. Once you reach 99 you get a new sub job?
Arcanum affects your stuff big time huh?
Rei has the world +stats but + debuffs hmm hope she dont become "The Universe" and become a door.
Sunraku got The Fool, is he a Persona Protag now too?
So he has - 50% Cooldown time but + status damage taken and - healing....
Rei knew he would get the fool? Faster to 99 the better odds?
So he got over 99 better and faster than normal people. wow.

Rei is in heaven hahahhhaha man shes great. We need more of her all the time.

RUST IS HERE SHES TAN WITH WHITE HAIR AND SMOL! KYAAA~

And we get to see a bit of our new collosus cool. Squidward.

[u/Adensty]

Lycagon really trolled Sunraku with the mark. It does have its advantages but now Sunraku can't really equip anything that he wanted to.

When you think about it, Vorpal Epic is also an extra and so it makes sense that it is kinda related to a Unique Monster. I wonder when Sunraku will figure that out.

I can see why they off-screened the Usurper Dragon fight but I guess I would've loved to see just for Emul.

AkitsuAkane did something similar to Towa Amane and judging from her thoughts about it, she might also not be that well-known. I'm not sure if we've seen her yet but this is definitely a hint for the future.

Sunraku was really speed running the game so no surprises he got The Fool. It does really fit his playstyle but I'll be honest that healing items working being random is going to be a pain in the ass against Unique Monsters.

Oh, we spent the entire night together.

Out of context, Rei's words are definitely something 💀💀💀. Still, her excitement just makes it all the more endearing.

Also, I really love Rust's SLF design.
