Shangri-La Frontier episode 22 recap
The most recent episode started where the previous one ended, with Sunraku and Emul talking to the latter's blacksmith sister, Bilac, in Rabituza. Bilac agrees to improve as a special blacksmith to fix the Ether Reactor, which leads to establishing what Sunraku's goal is going to be and what they need to do moving forward.
Sunraku, Emul, and Bilac use a special disguise through the two Vorpals' abilities, and they begin their journey, which ends up taking them to dark and cursed ruins where the protagonist is immune. This is because of the curse that Lycagon put on him several episodes ago, which makes the undead run away from him if they are weaker.
Eventually, they run into a prominent undead warrior, named General Dullahan, who had died in a battle in those ruins several centuries ago. This battle was mostly focused on showing Sunraku's new abilities after defeating Wezaemon and also showed the skills of the Vorpal rabbits, Emul and Bilac. The blacksmith, in particular, had a very prominent showing in this battle, even going as far as being the one who defeated General Dullahan with her Titan Blast.
What to expect from Shangri-La Frontier episode 23 (Speculative)
Shangri-La Frontier episode 23 is very likely to begin the next part of Sunraku's journey in the game, this time helping Bilac to develop as a blacksmith. Considering the cliffhanger of an enemy looming in the background after the party's victory, there is a very good chance that the next episode is going to be very battle-centric, although that is mere speculation.
