It's going to be interesting to see what the story is going to do moving forward with Shangri-La Frontier episode 11, especially considering the fact that Sunraku has practically gathered a complete party and also has to deal with Emul's escape to Rabituza.

Shangri-La Frontier episode 10 recap
The recent episode was arguably the most charged in terms of plot developments, and began with the cliffhanger of episode 9, which involved Sunraku fighting the Clown Spider. While the forest's Area Boss had proven to be dangerous to other players, Sunraku, through sheer strategy, managed to defeat the Clown Spider without receiving a single hit.
The episode also had some major plot points, such as Rei Saiga, also known as Psyger-0, finally having the courage to talk to Sunraku in real life, which is a big step for her character. And viewers can finally see Kei Uomi, Sunraku and Arthur's friend, also known as Oicazzo, in the Shangri-La Frontier game, as well as some backstory regarding his background as a gamer.
However, the most important part of the episode was Arthur Pencilgon, who while playing Unite Rounds, suggested Sunraku and Uomi to team up with her so she can have a strong and capable enough party to defeat Wezaemon the Tombguard. Both young men eventually accept the offer and Sunraku informs Emul that she is not going to be a part of the adventure, which prompts her to run away to Rabituza because, according to Arthur's words, an NPC that dies fighting Wezaemon disappears from the game forever.
What to expect from Shangri-La Frontier episode 11?
The next episode is bound to focus on Sunraku's issues with Emul and is probably going to require some convincing from the former, although perhaps Vash, being the little rabbit's father, could intervene as well. There is also a very good chance of seeing more of Koumi and Arthur, considering the new plan of fighting Wezaemon.
