Oh boy, behind the scenes stuff going on from another company. They somehow overexaggerated the comedic moments though LOL

I couldn't take Sunraku seriously at all this episode..but hey, he is in high spirits in the game. Arthur looked more grateful as usual and she paid some respects to the dead. Kind of a slow episode but had its moments.

I think Tsukuri's name is a pun. Tsukuri (作り) - making; producing; manufacturing. Tsukuyo (創世) means "create world"
And Amachi's first name Ritsu (律) means "law; regulation"
Lmaooo this is like a Terraria player in pre-hardmode joining their friend's endgame world
Oohhh, so we're finally fight the Unique Monster from the very start.
Oh right, The Japanese translation of speedrun is RTA (real-time attack) for some reason.
Good episode! Seeing the developers' side of things was fun.

Lol producer is the one that nerf Wethermon, and the founder not liking it making the important meeting kinda be useless and just be their first introduction. Poor man forgot his medicine and received all that kicks from those unbathed women. Really, not worth to return and doing an overwork there, man.

Alright back to the game. Sunraku received a lot of continuation quest, huh? From VashVash absurd quest, to the Wethermon reward quest to achieve his op skills. But damn that last item kinda be a super gift. What kind of shit Sunraku take from there? Must be some lame mask or something...

Pencilgon that gone into a dust before, can't stop coming back, huh? Fuckin simp. At least she still kickin and ready for the next mission to unleashed the lore of slf world. Now the one left is Katzo. Hopefully he gets some cool reward as well and not letting Sunraku monopolize all the loots. Then, lets not forget about Wolfy, okay? Next arc starts next, can't wait...

Wow what Sunraku got is much better than I expected.

I thought that bracelet only function as some kind of big pocket, but he got whole dimension room instead

I'm more interested in knowing how stronger Sunraku is currently after beating Wethermon:)

Wait, you're meaning to tell me that Wethermon was actually nerfed? Did that child seriously think anyone could beat it with its original stats? Man, sometimes these people can be so blinded by their original design that they completely miss the testing side of things.

In any case, from the looks of it the "Divinity" was mentioned a lot throughout this episode so I'm thinking that Sunraku's fetch quest and the next chapter involving Lycargon might be related as well. Also, there's that pink haired from OP to take into account since she hasn't showed up yet.

So will Ctarnidd be a (relative) breeze to beat?

Assuming the other two go loot from the battle as well, who picked up Pencilgon's Wethermon loot after she was dispatched!? Or was it still in the quest completion message and not in the inventory?

Also, imagine if the skill book needs Divinity equipment, but can't be used by sunraku because he can't equip enough due to the curse? 🤣

Things at the developers office aren't going well. Wethermon being defeated so far out of their projected order for the legendary monsters is causing an uproar. Top executives at the company forced back into the office. It was funny seeing two of the creatives fighting like little kids over their ideas for how the game should be balanced. The founder of the company herself upset at Wethermon being nerfed but the executive producer has a point that tying story flags to insanely hard bosses is ridiculous. I wish more developers thought this way in our world. A very heartfelt reunion between Sunraku and Emul, her river of tears was sweet. Sunraku finally past this fight can now access his boss loot. Some interesting items like that storage item being able to protect your loot if you die, that is a solid item that could save numerous headaches. A full list of Wethermon skills that can be learned with the right equipment is also a nice get, while not applicable now it will be great later for Sunraku to whip out some of those devastating moves

So they never even considered that players would try to take down one of the game's big bosses. They're just so dense and clueless. Two of them won't even bother to take a shower, and the other one's complaining about a stomach ache. Talk about a dysfunctional trio.

Anyway, I guess in these final episodes, we'll finally get to the bottom of what's really going on in the game. Or maybe we'll learn more about that wolf boss since it made a surprise appearance at the end.

Oh man, I love how much impact the victory over Wezaemon had, in-game and behind the scenes as well. I feels like the world of Shangri-La is changing drastically through this unexpected event and openes a lot of new exciting possibilites.

And the final scene with Lycaon was such a great teaser. I can't wait to see in which way he comes into play again. I'm frankly so excited to see what's happening next^^

I liked the interaction a lot between Sunraku and Emul this episode! When I brought it up to a friend he had mentioned how the VA's are married and to me it really did feel like the emotion was there.
Pretty cool to think about.

That's a nerf version of Wethermon?! And he supposed to be a mid to late game boss. Even the nerf version need a that much effort. The only colossi we got to see is Wethermon and Lycagon. We got to see the colossi silhouette way back but can't tell which one is Ctarnidd, not much of an info from it aside from the name.

So, the reward we got a plethora of armors? Skill of Wethermon, and that invertoria key. Four more episodes, I suppose they're going to end the show before facing Ctarnidd.

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.

Holy Gamersploosh, now THAT is some god tier loot! I thought the manual was broken because it means he can learn Weathermon tier moves. It reminded me of the "secret martial arts manual" that the martial arts movie hero inherits after someone kills their whole family and they spend all their time perfecting the martial arts learned in a quest for revenge. You know those movies.

Then they described the bracelet which is an extra dimensional storage that he can port to with mana!!!
Meaning he doesn't have to make it to town to log out, he can just port to his storage house! Talk about a "broken" escape method!!!
You don't lose items in it if you're PK'd.
And it already happens to house what are basically god tier artifacts that would be considered "broken" for game balance reasons! That poor Sunraku can't use (at least the armor) because of the Lycagon curse!!! (Bwahahaha the irony).

No wonder the inventor was angry!

I just felt bad for the PR guy when he asked for stomach medicine. Did anyone else think "oh the underling has no stomach medicine, must be a low tier employee who hasn't experienced that level of stress yet"?

If they didn't nerf Wethermon how the hell was anyone supposed to beat him? Pencilgon spent her entire fortune and had to get the help of 2 players with pro gamer level skills, one who had an item from a unique scenario, just to barely beat him.

They didn't think anyone would actually try to use the scales since the buff is temporary and the cost absurdly enormous. Like impossibly huge. And you'd still need some top tier equipment to make it all work.

The idea was to wander around and kill the other Colossi first. It's like Margit being so damn hard is supposed to be a sign for you to wander around a bit and explore more and level up before having another go.

YAWN

Another nothing burger episode.

The whole chat with big bunny boss reminded me of that phone call between Homer and the hotline guy that gave betting advice. Everything in the dialogue was so stretched out just for the sake of introducing a new stupid and empty quest for time padding measures. Heck, at least in actual games you can stfu all these stypid npcs that will just send you in a fetch quest anyway.

The whole skit of Pencilgoon visiting Setsuna's verbatim copy once again is already worn out, why do they keep beating on a dead horse?

The new clowns at the Shangri-la offices are completely pointless. They will end up being totally irrelevant idiots like the dumbass admins from Bofuri.

That Lycagon showing its fangs at the end of the episode was a nice touch 😌 I’m sure we will see him one more time before the season ends. I’m excited to see what will be the season finale, but from what it sounds like it’ll probably be right when he gets back from the fetch quest and the boss is about to tell him the truth about the world 🌍

@LeenPhoenixRae
Yes, I believe that Lycagon is the wolf that gave Sunraku the curse although I think that Bahamut is another mob/boss character that's unrelated. I believe the name of the curse was 'Lycagon's Mark.'

I'm thinking that Lycagon will be Sunraku's next target so that he can get rid of the curse and be able to equip some of that awesome armor that he got from beating Wethermon. On a side note I'm curious what the other players got for their loot.

It makes sense since he was obviously surprised when he saw the inventory inside that bracelet storage space lol I wonder how he'll fare this time around when he faces off against Lycagon once again. He leveled up quite a lot since beating Wethermon, and since the last time he faced off against Lycagon.

@CBeast25 It seems to do that, but in a retarded BS way.
The only reason Wethermon used Sky Clear was because Sunraku had the fragment part of (i believe) the research of Setsuna, so he filled the condition to trigger the ending phase of the battle.
I guess those fragments would be rewards for end game content missions or the other colossi.

But, as usual, the unique quest of Sunraku gives him everything he needs to be at top of everyone else without involving himself with the game content, the lore and to an extent most of the gameplay itself.

Rabutza is the main problem of the show.
Waifus only represent ideals
