Look at Sunraku. Dude is so proud of his own strength that he isn't holding back on himself.

Fighting crystal scorpion mobs takes guts so I give him credit for the effort. Plus, I'm impressed at how much Sunraku managed to improve himself all this time, and he had a plan in mind. One more episode left!

3:53, 4:57 Ah, I was wondering why was the character 群 - "group; flock; swarm" in the name, it's because they are always in groups. 水晶群蠍 - "crystal group scorpion"

I love the dynamic between Sunraku and Emul so much lol

靭晶脚 - "soft/pliable crystal leg"

纏晶殻 - "wear/wrap crystal shell"

断晶鋏 - "severance/cut crystal pincers"

踏晶爪 - "step crystal talon"


Btw do they get some kind of penalty for being killed by enemies like this?
I started playing gacha games recently, so I understand your pain very well, Sunraku  ̄へ ̄

One of the funniest SLF Minis XD

SF was so far truly "Kami game" so far, but being able use inventoria in middle of fight is HUGE exploit that need to be fixed. Even weirder is that it's super common for games prevent such things and there is no way author who is clearly passionate gammer would miss it

Now Sunraku on farming mode, fully use the benefit of his unlimited space of inventoria to gathered all those crystals. Wonder what he gets from those item when tampering it hard by Bilac? Another good dagger? Also, too bad goddess rng won't bless him good timing to get the item he wanted, scorpion stinger. I feel like he got karma after so selfishly trying to exploit inventoria that hard without rest. Serve you right, birdman!

Sometimes friendly fire is the easiest way to kill a group of enemies, especially if they are high level.
Loved watching Sunraku showing off his gamer skills, even if he didn't get the rare drop this time due to RNG (that's rough, buddy...).
Also props to Uchida Yuuma for giving us some incredible Kira laughs.

The over Lv, 100 Crystal Scorpions are next on Sunraku's hitlist, and what he finds...is the Crystal Nest Cliff that's a whole other world than itself, with the monsters perfectly camouflaged. But when one comes, the others follow, and Sunraku finds himself surrounded by a swarm of scorpions, which he only realized Bilac's advise when danger came straight for him. And Emul may be frustrated about his endeavors, but nothing like carrots will give it such predictable warmth. So then, Sunraku is ready to face it once more again, and this time, he finds a crystal loot which is able to give him some legendary weapons...which did not last. But at least he didn't leave empty-handed and got the Aroncaleth Hard Lapis, a component of the crystal lands...which after some thinking, got him EVEN more fired to experience the unknown by pure greed. Too bad Emul..you're just the piece in the puzzle for SUnraku's gain.

The 3rd time's the charm, and Sunraku...knows how to deal with them: going back to Inventoria to get his weapon of choice: a teleport that by the scorpions clashing against each other, they break into pieces of gathered rare materials and loot that becomes easy to maintain with said inventory. Only one item left: the super-tough stinger, and Sunraku would make this happen by hook or by crook with the same strategy back and forth. The problem is...Sunraku could've had it if he was a little bit forth in distance, however instead, dying to his death and respawning back in Rabituza. Instead, going to Bilac for praise for the rare items, no point going back for death.

The master of trash games...just still can't hilariously be programmed by the Random Number Generator enough.

@Tenzen12 since it is reward of beating Wazaemon, possibly the top 3 strongest unique monster, i guess this is acceptable to use inventoria at any time

dynamit bone in muscle brust sounds like something a 8th grader with chunibyo would come up with like time for my special move "Dynamite Bone-in Muscle Brust"

anyway the RNG gods do be like that like i was trying to do a quest to catch 5 wolf i had one hour left caught 4 wolves the last one didnt show up that hella pisses me off

anyway i really wanted Bilac to say these are just useless pieces of shards nothing but decorational but can fetch a high price

Sunraku just couldn't help himself could he. The definition of a obsessive gamer going back to get some super rare loot even though others tell him its dangerous. That first attempt where he tried to sneakily get that mineral but the pick axe gave him away was hilarious. Those huge crystal scorpions diving up out of seemingly nowhere is very familiar, that's honestly a very typical gaming experience when you get jumped by strong enemies suddenly. Its great how this show really understands those intrinsic gaming moments that only make sense if you've been there yourself. The struggle Sunraku went through just to get those rare pieces of the scorpions is very funny to see. That feeling of being so close yet so far from what you were trying to accomplish in game. Sunraku did think of an ingenious way to beat the scorpions by having them crash into each other when they jump him. Simply slipping into that inventory space to escape their stingers and they smash into one another and leave pieces behind that are much easier to grab. The excitement Sunraku got from grabbing all those pieces was great. Now he can show them off and brag to Bilac about it.

@Tenzen12 it's definitely a feature, not an exploit lol

It is the reward for defeating one of the hardest bosses in their game. And it's unique to the party that did it. No matter how OP the reward is, it won't affect the millions of other players in their VRMMO at all. Nerfing it makes no sense

Developers probably weren't worried about people exploiting the inventoria since that's future game stuff. But what makes inventoria particularly OP, besides a convenient room, is that there seems to be little to no cooldown on its usage and that Sunraku was able to use it midair/mid motion.

Lmaooo look like Sunraku bit off more than he can chew with the crystal scorpions. Had to rethink his strategy. Thanks to some advice from emul, he was able to get some nice item drops. Having the scorpions duke it out and just swooping in for the rewards was brilliant. Reminds me of watching Elden ring videos a couple years ago. Work smarter, not harder.

I love how this show is basically an animated let’s play. Seeing Sunraku work his way thru these boss fights and get all giddy when something like the inventoria unique skill works is funny.

Now we’re off to Bilac to brag 😂 I agree with him that shit talking is half the fun.

So he finally figured out how powerful Inventoria is - because when he first got that Item all I could think of is "now you have your very own re-spawn points that you can use anywhere as kind of like a 3rd bind point and that's so OP it's broken."

What does he do? Exploits the heck out of it to FARM rare materials! High risk farming too but exciting farming with loads of lovely crystals.

Can we talk about how beautiful those crystal scorpions are? My jaw dropped. They really did the animation and design justice! The gem enthusiast in me was drooling at the types of jewelry this could make, I don't think they'd be good armor since crystals do break if hit at the right stress points, unless they're super hard like Diamonds in which case they're going to be difficult to turn into items. Maybe you need a blacksmith with jewelcrafting skills? But I digress.

And then that Goddess of RNG ... LMAO ... every gamer has felt that more than once, so yeah, we can relate especially with the blurred out middle finger salute.

Finally, is it just me or is Emul the cutest Sidekick character? Her expressions are to die for. I want one.

It's another grinding episode with the mytical appearance of a true player's worst enemy: shitty RNG. Yes, that godess can be so cruel at times in these kinds of games, more so even in party like games where luck is pretty much key. Regaardless, with that teleport technique and the loot acquired I wonder what will be the catalyst next episode to end the season. We still haven't seen the pink haired girl from the op after all.

Very like Sunraku to laugh like a madman being chased by tons of 100 level monsters. Glad he's so motivated by greed and curosity. The dude is right that's what gaming is all about, solving puzzles especially in unorthodox ways. It's making your own fun of an already good game. That's one of the reasons why this is such a good "gaming" anime.

Next week will be our last episode. This will definitely get a second season.

So far I’ve enjoyed this series a lot and always look forward to watching it every Sunday. Sad that next week is the finale for the season, but I’m sure we will get some sort of news on a continuation of this series. It’s been a wild ride and the animation especially during some of the fights have been crazy. Looking forward to the last episode and what will come for this series

This is about to end and it really feels these last episodes after the Weathermon fight are really extras. They probably saw that they overshot their estimates and now they have to even stretch the filler chapters of the source manga just to deliver the 25 episodes in their contracts 😆
Well at least we get to see more Emul cuteness

Sunraku is more or less—nah, he's an idiot.. 🤣
I guess he can't use the inventory travel while in mid-air. 😏

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Episodes shouldn't feel this relatable. Good thing Sunraku will have it easier next time he encounters those Scorpions, given his MP will be fully restored.
Also props to him for discovering how to exploit Inventoria. I lowkey gasped when I realized what his intentions were.

I really understood the appeal of this show after watching this episode. He repeatedly killed those crystal scorpions just ad nauseum like how you'd do it in actual ones. Tbh, it's just a very obvious observation but that's really what makes this anime special and different compared to Sword art online, in which it's really the players being immersed and avoiding reality. This one is for enjoying. And actively reminds us it's only a VR game. Anyhow, awesome episode, really can't wait for the next episode's arrival. |~v~|

I died of laughter with Sunraku, the charisma that overflows is incredible and even more so its seiyu who does an excellent job, but the animation drops a little in quality, even so it is not annoying and it doesn't look bad.
