That Emul is such a mysterious being...but this episode is more than about him. The rabbit kingdom has my interest about their purpose in the show.

The combat elements and fighting tactics caught my interest too. It was some good old fashioned pounding between fighters. Oh and it's cool to see Arthur making her badass appearance. She's already leaving an impression with her fighting skills imo.

So we finally get our first waifu eh? Took them long enough.

Sunraku, recognized by the head of the Rabbit Kingdom, Vysache, embarked on a journey with the special Vorpal Bunny, Emul. In the midst of this, he received a summons from his fellow gamer, Kattsuo, to engage in a fighting match in the shitty game "Berserk Online Passion". Intrigued by the allure of Sunraku, Kattsuo informed a certain individual about the significant event of Sunraku starting Shanfro.

Yup, another comrade. Likely the typical homie dynamic, where you bring others along with you to face the consequences. Damn, that choker is ridiculously OP as an early-game item. He acquired it at Level 28, so this is seriously OP. Knowing that Sunraku has connections to such an overpowered player gets me pretty excited. Though I suspect she isn't particularly well-liked by many folks. I'm completely certain that the rabbit boss is one of the seven unique monsters. Additionally, we spotted it as a shadow right beneath Lucaorn in last episode.

With the secret now revealed, high-level players will flock to Emul and Sunraku's distinctive scenario.

Sunraku's avatar in the trashy fighting game is so hot!

Update: The Muse Asia channel only has voice with no music and no sound effect, but Muse channel of my own country is normal. So I advice everyone to check Muse of their own country.
Final update: Muse Asia has upload a fixed version.

(Watched this from Muse Asia)The bgm was non-existent for this episode so that was an experience. Still better than the time they released that one unfinished episode from Saihate no Paladin.

Sunraku keeps digging himself further and further into a hole with this game. Not by his own fault but the guy can't stop putting himself in situations where there's huge upside but its going to be painful along the way. Fighting one of the seven strongest monsters in the game so early and now while he entered a unique scenario no one else has discovered he's straddled with this item that halves the experience he gains. Shangri la Frontier truly is the most double edged sword kind of game I've ever seen. I'm sure this isn't what Sunraku thought he was getting entering this unique scenario but its what he's got to make work. At least he gets two and a half times the skill points once he does finally level up while wearing this forced collar item. Emul is a fun companion to have along, a cute little bunny showing Sunraku the way and keeping an eye on his training for the bunny leader Vash. Sunraku almost had himself in a sticky situation with those other players nearly discovering about the unique scenario after seeing Emul talk. Since they took a picture of him with Emul I bet that tons of people are going to investigate and his low profile play style will be interrupted. For now it's leveling up time even with this collar equipped. Lower level monsters may run away due to that curse mark but as long as Sunraku speed is faster he can still get them. But all that speed won't help in a swamp and especially not against a giant swamp fish boss. Sunraku will have to beat this thing without using his strongest stat.

Good episode. Special training quest in Rabituza, Emul the rapid companion and the introduction to Pencilgon & Oicazzo! A little bit underwhelming compared to the previous episode but still enjoyable.

I enjoyed it.
The classmate who's playing these games because she's too shy to approach him in RL...and is overwhelmingly intimidating in-game. And having little luck tracking him down due to his...unique...playing style.
The idea that you can use glitches to effectively create an entirely new game. Although I have to agree, with so few logins...how is the server still up? Unless the game owner has become addicted to watching how the remaining playerbase exploits the glitches in their code; if one could afford to keep the server going that might explain it.

Emul is way cute, and maybe not too bright at times. I especially enjoyed the SLF Theatre segment.

Nobody's gonna talk about Pencilgon? I'm so happy they did her introduction justice. Her swinging the spear and fighting those guys all while a fitting soundtrack plays in the background was super cool to look at, not just that she's also a PK!? I would gladly die to her if I were in that situation.

What even was that shanfro mini episode lmao.

Meh, what a terrible storyboard for a follow up episode.

The whole fight in the fighting game was nothing but just padding in order to leave the boss fight in a cliffhanger. The only substancial part of that other game was introducing yet another rival, and surprise surprise, it's another girl that wants to meet MC in a game. This further up strenghtens my theory that this is an incel fantasy in disguise where girls from everywhere will chase MC without him even knowing they exist.

@Blackbird Well usually those people that doesn't have many comments are just trolls do not mind them. XD

@el_morris The girls didn't know much about unique scenarios, they thought it was some new feature where vorpal bunnies could be turned into pets. Sunraku did find about the quest online but his scenario was different than the others and nobody in forums knew about the yakuza bunny.

@Kimurah Yeah let's ignore introduction of main cast, that's not important. Fighting some dirty fish that isn't even one of 7, That's obviously important.

Good episode again; what that's four in a row and this show still hasn't missed. Wasn't sure about Sunraku logging off and playing a trash game at first. But it clearly had a purpose, shows his online friends might join him later on in this new game. Future things to come and I'm excited for them.

On another note Sunraku got a headband that lowers the amount of exp he recieves but in turn makes it so his stat points get 2.5 times the amount they'd normally receive. He's right that's honestly kinda broken haha.

A little disappointed he didn't stay in the bunny place. But lets be real dude's on a mission to be grinding and wants to get to thirdtown, so he doesn't have all these newbies all over the place. Can't wait to see how he defeats the monster next episode.

@Weasalopes There was a 3rd party online shooter irl named Gunz: the Duel, which originally had Halo/COD style multiplayer with some wall running. So I guess that means it's closer to Titanfall without the robots. Anyways some people found some glitches for melee weapons which was turned into a whole new style (K-style or Korean Style) by the developers. This completely changed the way the entire game was played with players from then on being forced to learn how to use said glitches to be even slightly competitive.

"It's not a bug, it's a previously undocumented feature."

Sounds like their bug turned into selling point, something that made their game stand out from the others inside their market; a marketroid's dream situation.

Episode built off the previous one. For a seasonal show this is decent and I see it being a 1 season anime at this point with the possibility of getting picked up for a second season to exploit the relationship between him and the girl if they don't do that before the end of the season 1.

So we finally got to see the purple haired girl, cool. Also, the guy that Sanraku fought in that trash game may end up joining SLF so we're starting to see the players that may end up being part of Sanraku's party. In the meantime he has to fight a mud boss, curious to see how that goes.
