Shangri-La Frontier episode 19 recap

The latest episode focused on showing the aftermath of the party's victory over Wezaemon, and the game congratulated them for this victory, with players being informed of their success. Furthermore, it showed the game's story progressed from 11% to 12%, signaling that the Shangri-La Frontier continues to develop.

Meanwhile, Sunraku, Arthur Pencilgon, and Oikatzo have to deal with the remaining members of the Ashura Kai, although the protagonist called Psyger-0 so she could aid them in battle since the party no longer had enough items and energy to fight. However, Arthur Pencilgon accepted that she had to pay for her crimes as a Penalty Killer and decided to challenge Psyger-0 to a battle.

At first, it seemed both ladies were at a similar level, unlocking several weapons that neither Oikatzo nor Sunraku had seen prior to this battle. However, Psyger-0 began to overpower Pencilgon, even going as far as cutting the latter's arm, and then decided to use her ultimate attack, ending the episode with that as a cliffhanger.
