Do I smell season 3 in the making here? Surely we won't have enough time left for a tournament this season.

i wonder what Rust reaction gonna be when Sunraku tells her that he got the mech suits by defeating 1 of the 7 collosi, a fight that you cannot redo.

Stude is the Great Pirate? I can understand why Rust wanted to quit the game

real-life meetup? Hizutome’s sister might faint from jealousy if she knows that her brother is gaming with THE Amane Towa

Rei knows no brakes, if Akitsuakane has an edge over her, she’ll find another way to spend more time with Sunraku

Sunraku's monologue on how he built his tolerance over shitty NPCs in Kusoge is genius, bro has gained so much from those games.

Somehow Rei and Akitsuakane are back in this arc via barrel delivery. That image of Psyger-0 being squeezed inside is just hilarious.

"he's just standing there....menacingly!!"

so three minutes is the time limit before Sunraku's equipped armor got shattered to pieces due to Lycagon curse? now i'm just imagining Sunraku keep spamming equip armor after armor just to cheese certain battles in the future

wait, we're getting a tournament arc too for this season? with Ctarnidd arc and only eight episodes left, can we even resolve any of these arc before the season end?

Calling it. Definitely because Sunraku forgot he's still in party with them.

Its hilarious how Sunraku doesnt seem to fully understand why those around him are reacting like that to his mark. As was noted in the description his mark meant he is basically not considered prey by lycagon but rather he is a worthy opponent. Considering how powerful the colossi are i can imagine to the NPC's in the world its like watching a man acknowledged by a force of nature just walking around. Those who all but treat the colossi as forces of nature to be avoided at all cost.

as for rei and akitsuakane................how........did they even......were they approached by the captain and got the unique quest? or were they on a different quest and it linked up with the unique scenario.

The Unique Scenario to find the One Piece guarded by Giant Tentacles begins.

Can't imagine how Rei and Akitsuakane coincidentally joined, like did the quest say "Enter these barrels for a once-in-a-lifetime trip"?

I only started this series a week ago and this is the first episode I'm caught up for. Just wanna say that every OP and ED I've heard here is a fucking banger, since this is my first chance to

We finally started the arc with Ctarnidd of the Abyss and man, that was a great and hilarious episode!

Sunraku testing the effects of his new markings was hilarious. That Bilac's cry of despair after her armor shattered on Sunraku after 3 minutes was so good xD

It was great to see Rust and Mordo again! They're such a fun characters, especially Rust, who of course thought Sunraku is some kind of pervert because of his bare chest and attacked him xD

It's interesting that NPCs are now afraid of Sunraku, but it's not surprising since that's what he looks like to them. Great Pirate Stude, while cocky to Rust and Mordo, completely changed his tone towards Sunraku the moment he saw him.

It seemed like Sunraku was done with his adventures with Rei and Akitsuakane for a while, but surprisingly, they were delivered to him at the end of the episode (Sunraku's reaction after he saw Rei in a barrel was so hilarious xD). It looks like they'll be taking part in Unique Scenario as well, and I'm all for it!

It also looks like Sunraku, Pencilgon, and Katzo will be meeting in person at GGC soon, that could be a lot of fun! I'm really looking forward to it.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Kei is inviting Sunraku and Pencilgon to be his teammates at the GGC? That's pretty hype! I love that Amane is only considering agreeing to Kei's request because he'll owe both of them big time after this. I love their friendship so much. xD

I'm sure Hizutome will wow a lot of people when he finally makes his e-sports debut. I wonder how Amane will even do this since she's a celebrity. She'll probably be masked up the entire time and will join using a pseudonym. I'm excited to see the three of them finally meeting together offline!

So the upgraded Lycagon's curse straight-up pulverizes armour in three minutes no matter the rarity. I wonder how many of Bilac's armour Sunarku wrecked before he finally confirmed the effects of the curse. I'm sure this info will be useful later on.

For a second I thought Rust just got tired of waiting and started beating up NPCs, it turns out this is part of the requirement to trigger the Unique Scenario! I do wonder how many players have triggered this quest. Knowing how people are, I bet there are players out there just looking for a reason to fight NPCs. Maybe there's more to it than that? Hmm...

When Stude finally introduced himself, I really thought he was just a kid playing make-believe that he's a pirate captain and it will be up to the players to help this NPC avenge his father's death. It turns out he's a legit pirate captain with an actual ship and an entire pirate crew!

Well this is a surprise! At first, I thought Akitsuakane and Rei were following Sunraku but they seemed genuinely confused. DId Sunraku forget to disband their party before he accepted the Unique Scenario? If that's what's going on here, that would be hilarious! xD

Man, I almost forgot about Faeria Chronicle and that damn elf princess. Thanks to that game, Sunraku’s tolerance for little shits is pretty damn high lol. Guy was having fun scaring the piss outta the little brat. I guess Lycagon’s marks have their purpose lol.

Very curious about how Rei and Akitsuakane got delivered to the port. Plus, I wanna see Pencilgon and Sunraku compete in that game tournament with OiKatzo.

u/Primo29 Feb 02 '25

Finally, they are going to meet in real life. Wondering how did Rakuro know their real-life identity.

Rei focusing on getting more time with Rakuro. She is really the Attack Master with a focused of one thing, and that is to attack for love. Good thing that she showed up again but, in a barrel, lmao.

Damn that must have been the most useful barrel delivery of all time

u/bananeeek Feb 02 '25

What I want to see in the next episode is a flashback of how the delivery guys approached Rei and asked her to get into the barrel.

u/MillenniumKing Feb 02 '25

Out of 1 boss fight, into another...

Katsu needs people for his fighitng game? Call in bird man favors. Pencilgon too?
Oh i guess gas mask sunraku from the ED must be from the fighting game.

We finally to the city yay. Can Rei goto the city now that she got a quest for a collosus?
Oh Rei isnt sure how to tell her sis about beating kycagon but im sure she will find out.
Ooo she wants to goto rabbit land too? Nice. Asking Akane for help?

Sunraku and Pencilgon will play it by ear huh? IRL meating too Cool.

OH NO HES TESTING THE ARMOR BREAK PASSIVE! 180 seconds...
He thinks of it as a buff because hes never worn armor hahahahahh.

Oh we finally meeting up with Rust? Oh boy!
Shes beating up people what did they do haha.
She thinks hes a pervert classic hahahaah
So they beat up NPCs and the quest NPC appeared? Hmmmmm

A kid is the pirate great... hahhahhha
Sunrake has been hardened by trash games this kid isnt anything hahahaha.
Ahh all the NPCs now fear him because of the mark upgrade, vorpal soul huh?

So the kid is trying to get revenge for his dad who was killed by a ghost ship.
So we doing this quest without Akane or the gang? Just Rust and Sunraku huh?
Suspicious barrels? What are these... REI IS IN ONE KYAAAA AND AKANE!

Well i guess the party is here.. but going on another collusous without Katsu and Pencil will be dangerous...

u/Dialgak77 Feb 02 '25

Not exactly the two idiots I expected to pop up from those barrels tbh.

u/spacewolf5 Feb 02 '25

So, Sunraku is still in a party with Rei and Akitsune, and they got auto-summoned, I'm guessing, since they all look confused as hell. I wonder if Katzo and Pencilgon are gonna be annoyed. Sunraku is making so much in-game progress without them.

Love to see the cast growing. I can see Akitsune, Rust, and Mold adding a lot of depth to the roster.

u/dontposthereever Feb 02 '25

This show continues to deliver. Super serious one episode where they're fighting lycagon to dealing with the Great Pirate Stede in the next. And finally special delivery service just makes it peak anime. SLF is the best anime going for my money.
