[00:01] Narrator
    This world is filled with
    too many games to count,
[00:06] Narrator
    though the vast majority simply
    come and go in obscurity.
[00:12] Narrator
    The greatest of all games
[00:15] Narrator
    is the fully immersive VR game boasting
    over 30 million players worldwide—
[00:20] Narrator
    Shangri-La Frontier, which rightly
    earns the title of "god-tier game"!
[00:27] Narrator
    One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,
[00:30] Narrator
    is trying out the god-tier
    game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
[00:34] Narrator
    What adventures await him there?
[02:11] Sunraku
    I've verified what I needed to,
[02:12] Sunraku
    so here's the plan!
[02:17] Sunraku
    Ignore the scrubs!
[02:18] Sunraku
    Straight to the area boss!
[02:20] Sunraku
    That is all!
[02:24] Sunraku
    Get on my shoulder!
[02:24] Emul
    Righty-o!
[02:40] Narrator
    A characteristic of* Shangri-La
    Frontier*'s "swamp" terrain
[02:45] Narrator
    is that it forces a "walking state."
[02:48] Narrator
    One leg always remains trapped in the marsh
[02:52] Narrator
    until the other foot reaches the bottom.
SIGN    Mud Digger
SIGN    Area Boss
SIGN    Rec. Party Size: 4
[02:57] Narrator
    In other words...
[03:00] Sunraku
    This is my worst match-up possible!
SIGN    Lo, Thou Art Assailed on All Sides
[03:16] Sunraku
    How am I gonna fight with the
    swamp locking down my speed?
[03:26] Sunraku
    How does he dive into mud that shallow?
[03:30] Sunraku
    Well, I guess that's game logic for you...
[03:32] Emul
    He's on the way, Sunraku-san!
[03:34] Emul
    Oh, it's going to skin us alive!
[03:38] Sunraku
    What are you, the Hare of Inaba?
[03:44] Sunraku
    Hang on tight, Emul!
[03:45] Emul
    Righty-o!
SIGN    Slide Move
[03:51] Sunraku
    Slide Move!
SIGN    Slide Move
    Evades an attack with a gliding motion.
[04:00] Sunraku
    The EXP from the Lycagon battle
    evolved a bunch of my skills.
[04:05] Sunraku
    Figuring out how to use them
[04:07] Sunraku
    will be the key to this battle!
[04:18] Sunraku
    An evolution of Perfect Parry...
SIGN    Repel Counter
[04:23] Sunraku
    Repel Counter!
SIGN    Repel Counter
    Parries one incoming attack
    and unleashes a counterattack.
[04:31] Emul
    Truly impressive, Sunraku-san!
[04:33] Sunraku
    I just used some skills to
    get out of a tight spot.
[04:35] Sunraku
    I still haven't addressed the real challenge.
[04:38] Sunraku
    Just seconds into the battle and
[04:39] Sunraku
    I've already used both the skills that
    seemed useful for damage evasion.
SIGN    Repel Counter
SIGN    Slide Move
[04:44] Sunraku
    The recast time is ten seconds.
[04:49] Sunraku
    I've got no way to avoid
    damage in the meantime.
[04:52] Sunraku
    What do I do?
[05:11] Emul
    Magic Edge!
[05:23] Emul
    Oh, I succeeded!
[05:25] Sunraku
    Hey, what was that? Magic?
[05:28] Emul
    Yes, indeed, it was!
[05:30] Sunraku
    Of course.
[05:32] Sunraku
    I'd been so focused on soloing this game,
[05:35] Sunraku
    I forgot I've got a partner.
[05:37] Sunraku
    Seems sorta iffy for a real gamer to
    be relying on a stronger NPC, but...
[05:42] Sunraku
    She gave me this chance,
    so I'm not gonna waste it!
[05:47] Sunraku
    Let's go, Emul!
[05:48] Sunraku
    Let's close the distance with
    Accel while it's still reeling!
SIGN    Accel
    Grants a temporary bonus to
    attack power and agility.
[05:52] Sunraku
    Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
[05:56] Sunraku
    Yes! Yes!
[05:57] Sunraku
    This freaking sucks!
[06:08] Sunraku
    And now...
[06:12] Sunraku
    The evolution of Screw Pierce...
SIGN    Spiral
    Edge
[06:15] Sunraku
    Spiral Edge!
[06:23] Sunraku
    Now, keeping up the pressure!
[06:26] Sunraku
    Edge Climb!
SIGN    Edge Climb
    Stick a bladed weapon into
    a vertical service to climb.
[06:34] Sunraku
    There!
[06:35] Sunraku
    Emul!
[06:35] Emul
    Yes?!
[06:37] Sunraku
    How about giving us a big boom?
[06:38] Emul
    I...
[06:39] Emul
    I certainly shall!
[06:41] Emul
    Add Spell!
SIGN    Add Spell
[06:44] Sunraku
    Hup! Hoi! Whoops!
[06:46] Sunraku
    I've played trash games with
    trickier platforming than this!
[06:50] Sunraku
    Go on and eat me if you can!
[06:59] Sunraku
    Too late. It's been ten seconds.
SIGN    Repel Counter
[07:02] Sunraku
    Repel Counter!
[07:08] Emul
    Here comes the big boom!
[07:10] Emul
    Power-Boost Magic Edge!
SIGN    Power-Boost Magic Edge
[07:18] Sunraku
    Hell yeah!
SIGN    Sunraku
SIGN    Fall Damage -8
[07:29] Sunraku
    That was perfect, Emul!
[07:31] Sunraku
    Nice shot!
[07:32] Emul
    Oh, dear! My poor clothing!
[07:35] Sunraku
    That spell really packed a wallop.
[07:37] Sunraku
    It's gotta be—
[07:38] Sunraku
    Eh?
[07:39] Sunraku
    Where'd he get off to?
[07:50] Sunraku
    What's with all the shaking?
[07:53] Sunraku
    It's like it's sucking my
    feet down. I can't move!
[07:56] Emul
    Sunraku-san, this is...
[07:59] Emul
    It rockets out of the ground to attack,
[08:02] Emul
    so it's crucial to find a
    way to hold it in place!
[08:17] Emul
    Sunraku-san?!
[08:21] Sunraku
    It threw me into the air?!
[08:25] Sunraku
    I figured that'd be an insta-kill attack,
    but it barely did any damage?
SIGN    Sunraku
[08:35] Sunraku
    No, wait.
[08:36] Sunraku
    From this height...
[08:38] Narrator
    The Mud Digger is a mole-like
    quadruped with the
[08:42] Narrator
    head of a shark and the
    whiskers of a catfish.
[08:45] Narrator
    Its most noteworthy trait is the special
    move set that activates after its HP
[08:49] Narrator
    reach a certain threshold.
[08:52] Narrator
    It dives deep into the ground and vibrates
    the swamp to hold players in place.
[08:58] Narrator
    Then it randomly rams one of them
    up in the air with its nose.
[09:03] Narrator
    If a player challenges it alone,
[09:05] Narrator
    not only will it hit them
    with this attack every time
[09:06] Narrator
    as long as they remain in the swamp,
[09:08] Narrator
    but it will almost inevitably shave down
    all their HP through fall damage,
[09:13] Narrator
    hence its sobriquet—the "solo killer."
[09:16] Sunraku
    It's gonna kill me through falling damage?
[09:18] Sunraku
    And since the initial juggle
    attack not doing much damage...
[09:22] Sunraku
    Whoever came up with this boss
    has a real nasty personality!
[09:26] Sunraku
    Player skill's not even
    a factor at this point!
[09:28] Sunraku
    What do I do?!
[09:33] Sunraku
    If Emul hit me from the
    side with her Magic Edge...
[09:36] Sunraku
    No, that'd just blow me up!
[09:38] Sunraku
    Magic, items... anything I can do?!
[09:42] Sunraku
    Nah, I'm done for.
[09:44] Sunraku
    I'm totally screwed.
[09:45] Sunraku
    I've never been able to get used
    to falling deaths in VR games.
[09:51] Sunraku
    A feeling of electricity
    running through your body,
[09:54] Sunraku
    followed by a total loss of feeling...
[09:57] Sunraku
    The unnecessary pursuit of reality resulted
    in some games to be taken off the market.
[10:05] Emul
    Show your vorpal spirit!
SIGN    Magic Scroll
     Teleport
[10:19] Narrator
    There's an attack skill called
    "Meteor Fall" that utilizes downward energy.
SIGN    Energy
SIGN    Meteor Fall
[10:24] Narrator
    Sunraku, had picked up a lot of
    downward momentum from his free fall
SIGN    Energy
[10:28] Narrator
    at which point, Emul teleported
    him over the Mud Digger.
SIGN    Energy
[10:32] Narrator
    An attack that might normally be deemed
    a fall and result in player death,
[10:36] Narrator
    was, in a slipshod way,
    recognized instead as a risky attack.
[10:41] Narrator
    It was not Meteor Fall,
SIGN    Mistake
    Meteor Fall
[10:42] Narrator
    but Mistake Meteor Fall!
SIGN    Sunraku
[11:01] Sunraku
    Did I seriously survive that?!
[11:05] Emul
    Splendidly done, Sunraku-san!
[11:08] Sunraku
    So many things happened all at once,
[11:10] Sunraku
    I'm having a hard time
    getting it all straight...
[11:13] Sunraku
    But either way, Emul...
[11:15] Sunraku
    You're simply splendid!
[11:17] Emul
    K-Kindly do not imitate my speech!
[11:21] Sunraku
    Just like with Lycagon,
    I had a pretty rough ride there...
[11:28] Sunraku
    But we were the survivors this time!
SIGN    Area Boss
    Mud Digger
SIGN    Dispatch Complete
SIGN    Sunraku
SIGN    Herbs used.
[11:51] Sunraku
    Not even herbs'll get me back
    to max HP right away, huh?
[11:56] Emul
    You shoved them down your throat!
[11:58] Sunraku
    That's the only way they reach my mouth.
[12:02] Sunraku
    Still, Emul was way stronger than I expected.
[12:06] Sunraku
    She ended up carrying me.
[12:09] Sunraku
    Feels pretty bad after how cocky I was...
[12:12] Sunraku
    Until I reach Emul's level,
    I'll just put her to work as a mascot.
[12:18] Sunraku
    Might be the only way to stay motivated.
[12:21] Emul
    We'll arrive at Thirdrema soon!
[12:23] Emul
    And after we arrive, you'll be
    staying in Rabituza full-time, yes?
[12:28] Emul
    I can hardly wait!
[12:30] Sunraku
    Yeah, but there's still a question.
    How do I hide you once we get into town?
[12:35] Sunraku
    Drawing more attention like last
    time might even get us jumped.
[12:40] Emul
    In that case...
[12:42] Emul
    Why, I haven't used it in so long!
[12:44] Sunraku
    Used what?
SIGN    Mysterious Vorpal Bracelet
[12:50] Emul
    The secret treasure of the Vorpal Bunnies!
[12:54] Emul
    Sunraku-san, I must ask you
    to keep this between us!
[12:58] Sunraku
    Sure?
[13:00] Emul
    Metamorphose!
[13:13] Emul
    Surprised, are you?
[13:15] Emul
    This will allow us to
    inconspicuously enter the town!
[13:21] Sunraku
    Now, isn't that weird?
[13:23] Sunraku
    Here I thought I was playing
    Japan's flagship god-tier game—
[13:26] Sunraku
    catchphrase, "Explore the
    world, enjoy the world"—
[13:30] Sunraku
    Shangri-La Frontier.
[13:34] Emul
    Sunraku-san?
[13:35] Sunraku
    But this is...
[13:37] Emul
    Sunraku-san?
[13:38] Sunraku
    This is starting to look like...
[13:41] Emul
    Sunraku-san!
[13:44] Emul
    Hey, hey!
[13:46] Emul
    Sunraku-san?
[13:47] Emul
    Sunraku-san!
[13:49] Sunraku
    ...some kind of harem game
    with an anthro bunny girl!
[14:00] Sunraku
    Eh?
[14:01] Emul
    It's simply so exhausting.
[14:03] Emul
    I'll transform again once we near the town.
[14:06] Emul
    Four or five minutes is my
    limit in my current state.
[14:10] Sunraku
    Oh, I get it.
[14:12] Sunraku
    So once we're in town you'll have
    to undo it once we're in private.
[14:16] Sunraku
    But, Emil, you have committed a fatal...
[14:20] Sunraku
    Yes, one truly fatal,
[14:23] Sunraku
    vorpal-class failure of understanding.
[14:27] Sunraku
    The minute you started hanging
    out with a half-naked bird-man,
[14:30] Sunraku
    you maxed out your "conspicuous" stat.
[14:37] Sunraku
    Well, you'll just have to play
[14:39] Sunraku
    the hapless girl dragging along a
    half-naked bird-man for some reason.
[14:43] Sunraku
    Good luck!
[14:44] Emul
    My steps feel as heavy as if
    I were still in the marsh.
SIGN    Thirdrema
[15:06] Emul
    Oh, it's as large and lovely
    a town as I remember!
[15:11] Sunraku
    So that's Thirdrema, eh?
[15:14] Emul
    You seem curiously unimpressed, Sunraku-san!
[15:17] Sunraku
    Well, I'm not exactly a
    warrior guided by destiny,
[15:21] Sunraku
    but I've seen a few places in my time.
[15:24] Emul
    How truly spectacular!
[15:25] Emul
    You pioneers really are a well traveled lot!
[15:29] Sunraku
    Okay, let's go, Emul!
[15:31] Sunraku
    Get ready to transform and
    make yourself inconspicuous!
[15:34] Emul
    Righty-o!
[15:41] NPC Guard 1
    Hang on a minute!
[15:42] NPC Guard 1
    Why are you half-naked?
[15:44] NPC Guard 2
    Were you beset by highwaymen?
[15:46] Sunraku
    Yep, knew it.
[15:47] Sunraku
    I'm still the conspicuous one.
[15:50] NPC Guard 2
    And what frightening marks you bear...
[15:53] NPC Guard 1
    They're on his legs, too.
[15:54] Emul
    Wait just one moment now, Mr. Guard!
[15:57] Emul
    This man has a past...
[15:59] Emul
    A past that would bring
    sorrow to all who hear it!
[16:05] Emul
    Guided by destiny itself,
[16:07] Emul
    he was reborn as a super warrior,
[16:10] Emul
    and challenged his destined rival
    from his past life and this one,
[16:14] Emul
    Lycagon, to a duel!
[16:16] Emul
    But by the narrowest of margins,
    by a mere hair's breadth,
[16:20] Emul
    by the smallest and simplest
    of fate's own whims,
[16:22] Emul
    he ended up inflicted by a curse instead!
[16:27] Sunraku
    Where'd you pull that story from?
[16:29] Emul
    But unable to escape his destiny,
    he leaves himself to the currents of fate,
[16:34] Emul
    a solitary warrior on a wandering journey
    to remove the curse that afflicts him!
[16:41] Emul
    That is he... Sunraku-san!
[16:43] ---
    
[16:45] NPC Guard 1
    Hey, hang on!
[16:46] NPC Guard 2
    You—
[16:46] Emul
    The tale of Super Warrior Sunraku has
    only just entered its second season!
[16:51] NPC Guard 1
    But—
[16:52] Emul
    Next episode is "Super Warrior Sunraku—
[16:54] Emul
    Where the Wind Blows, Where
    the Carrot Greens Waver"!
[16:57] NPC Guard 1
    F-Fine, I get it.
[16:59] NPC Guard 1
    It's unusual to see a half-naked pioneer,
[17:02] NPC Guard 1
    but not completely unheard of.
[17:04] NPC Guard 1
    You may pass.
[17:06] Mob 1
    Hey. That guy...
[17:08] Mob 2
    Yeah.
[17:10] Sunraku
    Did I just imagine it?
[17:11] Sunraku
    That wasn't the usual "what a weirdo" vibe...
[17:14] Emul
    Shall we, then, Sunraku-san?
[17:17] Sunraku
    S-Sure.
[17:22] Animalia
    I recognize you.
[17:23] Animalia
    You're Sunraku, right?
[17:25] Sunraku
    Um...
[17:29] Sunraku
    And who might you be again?

    Lycagon's a random encounter
[19:33] (Flashback) Mob 8
    so it's not unusual to hear of
    beginners running into it...
[19:36] (Flashback) Mob 8
    But how'd he end up with the curse?

SIGN    96: Orcelott (Advanced)
    I could spawn kill him until he tells us
[19:42] (Flashback) Mob 8
    Orcelott of Ashura Kai?
SIGN    97: Add (Advanced)
    Oh? Well if it isn't Orcelott, esteemed leader
    of Ashura Kai lol sup lol
     I heard you got a bounty on your head and
    even more NPCs are coming after you.
    You got that all sorted? rofl
[19:47] (Flashback) Mob 9
    Ashura Kai?
[19:50] (Flashback) Mob 9
    That clan of player killers?
[19:53] (Flashback) Mob 9
    Is this Sunraku guy gonna be okay?
SIGN    99: Add (Advanced)
     If you PK too much and you get killed
    by a player or an NPC all your items are lost,
    including stored ones. Plus the bounty gets paid
    from the PK's own cash. It's a pretty brutal system.
    
    The Ashura Kai guys PK so much they can't go back.
    They're a huge joke as far as I've seen.
[20:01] (Flashback) Psyger-100
    I'd love to meet and talk with him.

    Psyger, huh?
[20:27] (Flashback) Mob 10
    And here come the achievement clans.
[20:30] (Flashback) Mob 10
    Sunraku's got a hell of a spotlight on him.
[20:32] (Flashback) Mob 10
    He's being treated like
    an event boss himself.
[20:35] (Flashback) Mob 10
    Maybe I'll go look for him, too.
SIGN    102: Basashi Musashi (Advanced)
     Looks like this Sunraku guy's in a pretty unique situation.
    And he might not even realize it himself...
[20:41] Animalia
    I just want an answer.
[20:44] Animalia
    Tell me straight...
[20:46] Animalia
    How do I tame a Vorpal Bunny?!
[20:51] Animalia
    Please, don't play dumb with me.
[20:53] Animalia
    I know you were with a talking Vorpal Bunny!
[20:58] Sunraku
    How'd that get out?
[21:00] Sunraku
    Was it when we were seen in Secondale?
[21:02] Sunraku
    What do I do?
[21:04] Animalia
    Please!
[21:05] Sunraku
    No way am I spilling the beans
    on that unique scenario.
[21:08] Sunraku
    It's not like I know how
    I triggered it anyway...
[21:12] Sunraku
    I-I'm afraid I don't really...

    It's not nice to keep things to yourself.

    Hey, now.
[21:43] Pencilgon
    Don't talk to a supreme beauty like me
[21:45] Pencilgon
    like she's some annoying monster.

    Besides...

    It appears this time has come at last.

    I'll show you with everything I have!

    The intensity of my vorpal soul!

    Go, go, go, go!

    Oh, I truly do empathize!

    I have so many siblings myself,

    If I don't eat quickly, I'll find

    One's personality is simply something

    The key is to work patiently

    You believe you'll never amount to anything?

    None of that, now!

    You mustn't give up on your future.
[25:52] Emul
    It's not as if you were born in
    your current form, after all.
[25:56] Emul
    At least, I assume...
[25:58] Emul
    That's right! Everyone is capable of change!

    Don't give up, and you can

    That's a very difficult question indeed!

    And, I'm sorry, but a Mud Frog's a Mud
    Frog no matter how it improves itself.
[26:32] Sunraku
    Or, wait... maybe they do evolve?
