| Saiga-0 is definitely a difference maker here. Impressive they managed to plan this out against one of the toughest monsters this series. Hell, it's the flagship one promoted on one of the posters. But yeah, credit should be given for Sunraku here for fighting a tough battle. |
 |
| I really would love to know what this dude Sunraku would do if it weren't for him unlocking Invetoria, because this guy is straight up SPAMMING that shit as his dodge lmao. And already like five minutes into the fight, you can tell exactly WHY this beast is among the Seven Colossi. I mean, from the OP skills and unbeatable strategist, this beast is like all of Wezaemon's insta-kill skills COMBINED. But yeah, here's that animation I've been waiting on for the whole season. Although most of the animation went to Sunraku running and throwing some attacks here and there, because YET AGAIN this dude went back to the Invetoria. Though, at least he didn't use it to just dodge an attack, and instead changed gears and brought his mecha bird out. Truly the most meta thing to come out of this show... using a VR set in the game to pilot a character... while using a VR in real life to pilot a character... xD Loving the fact that their giving emotions to Lycagon with the smirks and such. Just goes to show that Sunraku ain't the only one enjoying this fight. Poor Rei though, Lycagon hit her with that mean ass backhand, and she's down for the count it seems. Thankfully help's on the way though, with Emul and girl that discovered Rabituza on the way. New OP & ED next week: |
 |
| This fight felt so short, yet it lasted for an entire episode. Hoping to see some epic world ending ultimate coming up, even with how bleak its looking. |
| . |
| No word are needed to describe how awesome this fight is! But I guess I am going to say: THIS FIGHT IS AWESOME!!! (And this is only the beginning!) ((It seems like the fight with Wethermon is getting outclassed...(!))) |
Studio C2C cooked here. The next episode will be blast can't wait. |
 |
| Love me a full episode fight felt like 5 min tho 😭 Studio C2C really cooked 🔥 So hyped for next ep! |

| That bird mecha is basically red Skarmory and Psyger 0 looks cool in black, golden armour which looks like Maliketh's armour. Been one hype fight and soon we'll get to see Psyger 0's special attack Akane Akitsu's coming so more hype. |
 |
| great ep once again, this adaptation is really so good |

| At the very end, instead of attacking the hind leg like she had done 4 TIMES before, |
| holy fireee!! animation fanservice, that was great. Suzaku would make a good flying mount, that can solve the problem of travelling long distances lol. Rei-shi's Equipment mechanic is so cool, is this the first time we've known that? I cant remember. Akane is finally here! I thought so from the OP and it seems like she would be helping the Lycagon fight (is she a potential love rival? gomen Rei-shi)... also she seems to know Sunraku from another game?? |

At the very end, instead of attacking the hind leg like she had done 4 TIMES before,
| @Marx48 My guess is that "landing" is a missinterpretation and that she needs to deal damage and not count as "blocked". At the start of the episode she hits the body and considers it tough, while Sunraku points out later that the head seems to have less dmg resistance than the rest of the body. Hitting with a powerful attack is cool and all, but I doubt and probably she does too (since it seems you can't see the Colossi health bars) that that ultimate can instakill Lycagon, so better make as much damage while stacking the skill hits to advance the fight than go to chip damage and maybe miss the victory by a hair. They came unprepared, they are low on supplies, so they shouldn't waste time in things that won't progress the goal. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| There ya go,theres that heat from C2C cooking.Kinda wonder if its necessary for Rei-shi to switch between attacks each time for the ultimate.Think it'd be easier if she just do 5 for one then the other. Looks like Akane knows who Sunraku is,i'll bet its the one person he fought with on the fighting game BERP.  |
| I mean, if the problem of fighting Lycaon is just get rid of the shadow clone and be aware of how she moves the main body in shadows, I don't see why she's one of the 7 strongest. For now I think the big problem here is be cursed liked Sunraku was. Wethermon had a lot of conditions to win, and this fight looks so simply for now. Still great episode, the animation is better than ever. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| I thought the fight was pretty cool. Nice to see Rei-shi in action. I wish the animation would have been a little bit better. Just so-so for a big boss fight. |

| Fucking awesome looking robot, but its merely used to clear the skys lol. Now i'm wondering what the other robots do, holy. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| What an amazing fight! Sunraku is on another level. While Psyger-0 can deal more damage overall, Sunraku’s vast experience allows him to counter Lycaon’s abilities just by observing them. Even though Sunraku’s new robot bird and Psyger-0 are heavily enhanced, they still can’t make Lycaon retreat. In fact, Lycaon even smiles when hit by powerful attacks. That wolf is incredibly tough. I doubt they’ll last much longer in this battle, but Akane Akitsu seems to recognize Sunraku. Could it be the boy she met in that bug-filled fighting game? |
 |
Could it be a result of Sunraku saying that Lycagon takes more damage there? |
| The fight is on and boy oh boy does Lycaon have some nasty abilities. Not only is the copy a problem but it lured them into a false sense of security thinking they knew how much it could do in terms of movement. It also barely takes damage a while they have an ace up Rei's sleeve the requirement is very steep. Good thing Sunraku was able to figure out in Inventoria that while he can't wear the armor suits the helmet is enough to control the robots in his favour. Let's see just how this sakuga filled fight plays out as Rei takes a hevy hit and the newcomer joins the picture. |

| Will they really 2-man a raid boss? Also we haven't seen Lycagon's 2nd and maybe 3rd phases |
| Great episode. I kept waiting for Lycagon to treat one of them as a frisbee, but in the end he just bounced Psyger-0 into the ruins. Bad puppy! Looks like unexpected help is on the way. |
| Finally in the middle of Lycagon, about time the good stuff gets underway. |

| @LucenProject possible |
| Banger fucking episode. Sunraku was DEEP in his bag during this fight. Low potions and no prep but still keeping up thanks to best girl Rei’s contributions. Not only is she getting her wish to play with him, but saving his ass too lol This is going even better than I hoped. Rei is genuinely a massive help here. Her Satan form was dope, also loved Sunraku’s robot dragon team up. Guess that mech game’s episodes came in handy lol. Animation during Airgletam was sick! Had several sequences that were so badass. Thought they might have had the W there once Rei let out her ult, but even that ain’t enough. Can’t wait for next week’s ep. Happy new year everyone |

| Aaw they make such a great team! Doggo fighting well. ლ(´ ❥ `ლ) |

| This episode was such a great watch, especially seeing how Rei-Shi and Sunraku’s teamwork. It’s clear they’ve taken everything they’ve learned from their previous encounters and really applied it here. The dynamic between them feels natural and rewarding to watch, particularly in the way they strategize and adapt mid-battle. I loved the detail about Sunraku pointing out that the head/face is more vulnerable than Lycagon’s sturdy body—seeing Rei-Shi capitalize on that toward the end of the fight was a satisfying payoff. My one gripe with the episode is that we don’t really see how much damage they’re taking when they block or get hit by Lycagon. It would’ve been nice to have a clearer sense of the stakes during the fight. However, the inventory spamming, which could have been annoying, ended up being a clever plot point. The way Sunraku figures out he can use the helmet was a brilliant touch, and it kept me engaged throughout the battle. I really appreciate the way the show skips tutorials and lets us experience new abilities and mechanics in real time. It keeps the surprises intact and makes the progression feel more organic. The added tension of them being low on supplies—because they weren’t expecting to face anything like Lycagon—adds another layer of realism to the story. It’s those little details that make these fights feel meaningful and not just random encounters. What’s crazy is that after this intense battle, they still have the area boss to deal with! The buildup is fantastic, and I’m excited (and a little nervous) to see how they’ll manage that, especially with their resources already stretched so thin. The post-credit scene was a fantastic way to end the episode. Rei-Shi is definitely going to freak out when this other female player shows up looking for Sunraku. I’m really curious about her backstory and which game she knows him from. It’s an intriguing setup for the next episode and has me even more invested in the story. Overall, this episode was a great mix of action, strategy, and character interaction. I can’t wait to see how much damage Rei-Shi took from that last attack and how they’re going to handle what comes next. The show keeps finding ways to keep the stakes high and the story engaging, and I’m here for it! |

| Aw what a lovely date this has been! Rei getting closer to the bird head by experiencing an impromptu boss raid with him and Lycagon's probably enjoyed every moment playing with them too! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Holy crap. This show, being a bit absurd in some ways, has some of the BEST action scenes. Holy hell, this stuff is just straight up HYPE. Kinda halfway passed on it during the first season because it was just straight up so absurd, considering how outright stupid Sunraku's appearance is. I'm so happy I got pulled back into it, because when this show goes hard, IT GOES HARD. |

| @Builder45 Well, Akitsu means Dragonfly, so there is that |
| Cool-looking bird mecha. Wonder if you can ride it tho, as it would be quite useful for long-distance travels. Wonderful episode featuring some really amazing cuts. Teamwork between Sunraku and Rei has been quite good so far. |
<3 I absolutely love this series! ❤️ What a lovely surprise to see mechas in this season—it’s something I didn’t expect, even though there were several hints in the previous season. I’m really enjoying it! ❤️  |
