[01:52] Psyger-0
    And...
[01:54] Psyger-0
    You're certain that Sunraku was his name?
[01:58] Reiji
    Y-Yeah... I'm pretty sure that
    was his character name...
[02:05] Reiji
    Mia! Don't do that!
[02:07] Reiji
    That's not a monster, it's a player!
[02:10] Mia
    R-Really?
[02:11] Mia
    But it's really scary-looking...
[02:15] Reiji
    Scary-looking players are still players!
[02:18] Psyger-0
    So, this player named "Sunraku."
    Do you know where he ha—
[02:23] Psyger-0
    Er, where did he go?
[02:24] Reiji
    R-Right!
[02:25] Reiji
    I think he'd gotten a face full
    of poison from the Python.
[02:28] Reiji
    He ran off into Secondale!
[02:31] Psyger-0
    And he was half-naked, with a bird's head?
[02:34] Reiji
    Yeah, but he could've changed
    his equipment by now...
[02:37] Mia
    The mask had such a scary expression.
[02:40] Mia
    I thought it was a monster!
[02:43] Psyger-0
    I almost didn't believe it,
[02:45] Psyger-0
    but he really beat the Ravenous Python
    without visiting the first town...
[02:50] Psyger-0
    Thank you for the information.
[02:51] Psyger-0
    As an expression of my gratitude...
[02:56] Psyger-0
    Take it.

[03:00] Mia
    Th-Thanks.
[03:02] Psyger-0
    Now...
[03:04] Psyger-0
    I'm in a hurry. Goodbye.
[03:14] Mia
    So fast!
[03:15] Mia
    Who was that?
[03:17] Reiji
    Not sure, but the emblem on the cape...
[03:21] Reiji
    I think it's from a clan focused on that
    unique monster, Lycagon the Nightslayer.
[03:25] Mia
    Unique monster?
[03:27] Mia
    Lycagon?
[03:28] Reiji
    Unique monsters are a
    special class of monsters
[03:32] Reiji
    with both an individual name and a title.
[03:36] Reiji
    Most monsters, when you beat them
    or capture them or whatever,
[03:39] Reiji
    respawn as a new individual after
    a set period of time passes.
[03:43] Reiji
    But for the unique monsters, there's
    only one of each in the whole world.
SIGN    The Seven Colossi
[03:49] Reiji
    Rumor says there's seven of them in SLF,
[03:53] Reiji
    but we don't even know the spawn
    criteria for most of them.
[03:57] Reiji
    For each of these unique
    monsters, called "Colossi,"
[04:00] Reiji
    lots of top players have formed
    clans focused on taking them out.
[04:08] Mia
    Wow...
[04:09] Mia
    So they're just really rare monsters?
[04:11] Reiji
    That's about what it boils down to, yeah.
[04:14] Reiji
    The issue is how abnormally strong they are.
[04:18] Reiji
    See, it's been a year since the game started,
[04:21] Reiji
    but even with a playerbase
    of over 30 million,
[04:24] Reiji
    not one person has defeated
    a single unique monster.

    As damn tough as those Redcaps were...
[05:04] Sunraku
    it blew 'em away in a second.
[05:07] Sunraku
    One hit from that and I'm a goner, I'll bet.
[05:32] Sunraku
    You...
[05:53] Sunraku
    You unique monsters don't have
    much going for you, do you?!
[05:57] Sunraku
    Th-That was freaking close!
[06:01] Sunraku
    I'm so glad I spent all night grinding!
[06:06] Sunraku

    I'd be totally dead right now!

[08:27] Sunraku
    Damn it...
[08:28] Sunraku
    The thing's pelt is tougher than
    the Ravenous Python's scales!
[08:32] Sunraku
    I've been whaling on the thing for over
    five minutes without taking a hit...
[08:35] Sunraku
    But...
[08:37] Sunraku
    The thing's so tough, I don't think
    I'm actually doing any damage!
[08:40] Sunraku
    Pretty sure I've landed a
    hundred... no, two hundred crits!
[08:45] Sunraku
    My Vorpal Choppers, which started out close
    to mint, are already falling apart...
[08:49] Sunraku
    If I don't find a softer
    spot to land a hit on,
[08:52] Sunraku
    my weapons are gonna crap out before I do!
[08:54] Sunraku
    Actually, I'd say...
[08:56] Sunraku
    this thing's way out of the league
    of what I can fight right now!
[09:01] Sunraku
    But that's the way I like it!
[09:03] Sunraku
    That's the way!
[09:05] Sunraku
    That's what makes it the god-tier
    game, Shangri-La Frontier*!
[09:08] Sunraku
    This spine-tingling intensity that
    makes me feel like I'm on fire...
[09:14] Sunraku
    It's not possible to enjoy
    a game more than this!
[09:18] Sunraku
    Bugs! Garbage balance! Absurd spawn rates!
[09:21] Sunraku
    I'm a gamer who's made it
    through all those trash games!
[09:28] Sunraku
    And since I know you don't
    have a bugged-out hitbox...
[09:31] Sunraku
    There's no way in hell I'm
    gonna throw in the towel!
[09:42] Sunraku
    I'm too far for its attack to hit me.
[09:52] Sunraku
    It's roaring?!
[09:54] Sunraku
    I can't move!
[10:11] Sunraku
    What'd it do to me?
[10:14] Sunraku
    What'd it hit me with?
[10:23] Sunraku
    Reality's a harsh mistress, huh?
[10:26] Sunraku
    I'm not gonna suddenly
    learn an awesome new skill
[10:29] Sunraku
    or get saved by a run-in from some
    mysterious high-level player...
[10:33] Sunraku
    None of that cinematic stuff for me.
[10:37] Sunraku
    Actually... I did get one break.
[10:40] Sunraku
    Somehow, after a hit like that,
    I've got an HP remaining...
SIGN    Sunraku
[10:44] Sunraku
    It's gotta be a miracle.
[10:51] Sunraku
    You're absurdly strong, you know that?
[10:54] Sunraku
    But that absurdity was
    intentionally coded into you.
[10:59] Sunraku
    You're exactly as strong as
    your creators wanted you to be.
[11:03] Sunraku
    In other words...
[11:06] Sunraku
    It's a beatable absurdity.
[11:11] Sunraku
    I've made up my mind.
[11:13] Sunraku
    I don't give a damn about
    the final boss or the story.
[11:16] Sunraku
    It might not be now, but someday...
[11:19] Sunraku
    I'm gonna beat you, for sure.

    Patient mind.

    "Unique Scenario: Invitation from Rabituza"?
[16:34] Sunraku
    I get it. I saw this on
    the game guide site...
[16:37] Sunraku
    I think...
[16:39] (Flashback) Rakuro
    "SLF has a sweeping main story
    about the exploration of the world,
[16:43] (Flashback) Rakuro
    but it's also got a huge
    number of side quests.
[16:47] (Flashback) Rakuro
    One subset of these is
    called 'unique scenarios,'
[16:50] (Flashback) Rakuro
    mystery scenarios whose
    unlock times, locations,
[16:53] (Flashback) Rakuro
    contents, and flags aren't publicly known."
[16:58] (Flashback) Rakuro
    "So the equipment, skills, and spells you
    can acquire in these unique scenarios...
[17:02] Sunraku
    What the heck is this?
[17:03] (Flashback) Rakuro
    ...are said to all be top-class."
[17:07] (Flashback) Rakuro
    So it's not unusual to see clans
    searching desperately to find
[17:12] (Flashback) Rakuro
    these unique scenarios, huh?
[17:16] Sunraku
    To encounter one this
    early in my playthrough...
[17:19] Sunraku
    Is this the result of dumping
    my stat points into luck?!

    All of Rabituza is abuzz about you, you know!
[18:25] Emul
    Despite your great personal weakness,

    I p-probably won't be able to go on an

[24:05] Mana
    Listen, I think you get good
    at games impressively quickly.
[24:09] Mana
    but instead of these niche games, you might
    want to play one with broader appeal.
[24:14] Rei
    B-But...
[24:16] Mana
    It's Hizutome's skill levels
    that make him such a frea—
[24:20] Mana
    er, such a unique individual.
[24:23] Mana
    I understand that you don't
    want to hold him back,
[24:26] Mana
    but maybe you should work
    on your fundamentals.

    Fundamentals?

    The truth is, there's a game that unique
    individual will definitely try out!

[24:53] Mana
    What if you have your
    sister teach you the game,
[24:55] Mana
    and become strong enough that you
    can show Hizutome-kun the ropes?

    Show him the ropes?

    Thanks for coming!

    I'm going to become strong enough

[25:15] Mana
    What Mana didn't realize
[25:16] Mana
    was that her advice, offered
    in a spirit of friendship,
[25:19] Mana
    *would create a hopeless
    addict in SLF's world.
