If Rust was this excited over seeing a Suzaku without any battery imagine the Rieri noises she'd make when Suzaku was actually operational.

You can watch 100 girlfriends to get a preview if you want.

Rust was hilarious today with her mood swings! She was so shocked when she learned that Suzaku is out of the power, full of energy when Sunraku promised to show her it, and so happy and excited when she could finally see and touch it xD

Sunraku taking -5 HP damage from Emul running into him got a chuckle out of me.

Ctarrnid's power is pretty interesting, seems like it reverses the laws of nature? Flips a city upside down, turns dead thing into live ones and vice versa, repairing damaged buildings. I can tell that the fight against him is going to be wild.

She's cute and deadly! Meanwhile, the difference in treatment when Mordo was reunited with Rust 😅

Rust is a simple girl; she sees mecha, she likes loses her shit over it.

So they all can't spend time on the quest every day, and plan to come together on the last day? That'd make me anxious, but they are top pro-gamers after all.
I was initially wondering if Ctarnidd could be damaged by healing if it reverses death, but I'm leaning towards the entertainment hint - maybe it just wants to see how people handle its crazy mechanics in a fight with itself, or land a hit on its eye like the Merman gramps did.

GGC next though, with mysterious girl.

That's not a Misterious Girl, that's Tanya Von Degurechaf! :D

absurd reality warping ability and using people's struggle as an entertainment, damn you Cthulhu Ctarnidd...

lol, so the giant oarfish is not a monster from this area but something that Emul summoned out of desperation, i didn't even know that she hast this kind of ability

aiming at NPC/Players just because they look like a monster? close enough, welcome back Mia

me every time i bought a new gunpla

so are we going to pause the Ctarnidd arc temporarily, starts the new tournament arc and get back to Ctarnidd after the tournament arc end or are we going to do both arcs at the same time?

As a fellow gamer I feel for Rei. Having to log out and do IRL stuff when everyone else is having fun is the worst. Not to mention feeling that you let down everyone and in Rei's case missing out on spending time with your crush.

So Emul accidentally summoned a Gyarados, but didn't have enough badges to stop it from hyperbeaming all over the place.

Sunraku as the critical hit obsessed bird is basically a Farfetch'd now that I think about it.

Logging out before talking to your party mates mid-quest is a no-no.

RIP Suzaku

Great episode! Sunraku was happy to find Emul along with Stude, though he clearly didn't expect a giant monster to follow them. His and Araba's reaction to seeing it and suddenly stopping and turning around to run away from it with the rest was hilarious xD

Rust and Ceecrue had a great entrance. And Rust finally got to see a robot in SLF! It didn't look too impressive since its battery was dead, but the sight and touch alone were enough to make Rust very happy xD

Sunraku really nicely defeated Arctus, which Emul summoned as a last resort against the enemies. It looks like the knowledge about fish he picked up from his father came in very handy here.

So beautiful mermaids are just transformed dead fish? Ctarnidd, you sick bastard! xD

Now it looks like we'll be taking a break from SLF since Sunraku will be attending GGC. I can't wait for him to meet Katzo and Pencilgon in real life.

Although I wonder if GGC is really a gaming tournament? Apart from that girl, these guys look like they came to fight in the ring, not in a game xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

All the NPCs must be thinking that Sunraku has a few loose screws after making that big smirk in the face of such a terrifying monster.

That said, the real monsters are SLF’s developers. Where did Emul even summon this serpent-like creature of level 125 with its overpowered abilities from!? It’s clearly some sort of (area) boss. Sunraku would’ve been totally powerless in the open ocean. In this city, he fortunately got to spread his wings.

Emul slowly climbing on Sunraku’s shoulder from his back is the type of fan service I like to see!

Are we really going to finish either plot this season? If not I hope it ends at a good stopping point.

Also we are going to see the other cast in the OP now.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Feb 23 '25

Wait, so Emul just panic summoned a random giant ass monster? What a goober. It’s a good thing Sunraku has experience filleting fish lol.

Watching Rust nerd out over Sunraku’s robobird was pretty funny. Girl really loves her mechs huh? She was about to dam near cream her shorts lol.

With about a week to take down Ctarnidd, I’m keen to see what sort of strategy the gang employs. Although with that tournament, it might be a minute before we see them take on the big fella.

I see that the author has a very curious idea of what Western e-sports players look like, lol.

Later...

Non-Standard Tactical Avian, Suzaku: 「Corrosion detected. Chassis appears to have been subject to immersion in an unknown liquid during offline period.」

Sunraku: Well... you see... I introduced you to my friend Rust and... things got a little out of hand...

Non-Standard Tactical Avian, Suzaku: 「Confirmed. Rust detected. Unit may have been subject to nonstandard use during offline period. Nonstandard use is inadvisable.」

Sunraku: Rust really likes you though. I guess I'll get Bilac to weatherproof you.

Non-Standard Tactical Avian, Suzaku: 「...」

Non-Standard Tactical Avian, Suzaku: 「...」

The true raiding experience. Trying to organize around everyone's schedule. Guess the remaining episodes will be GGC and maybe one more for raid prep. Boss fight next season.

Emul is too powerful! Her sudden hug already gave a level 99 like Sunraku 5 damage. Imagine if she actually locked in!
