Shangri-La Frontier episode 7 recap

This episode starts where the previous installment left off. Sunraku and Emul are about to be destroyed by Arthur and her arm, although Psyger-0 does a last-minute save. The episode then proceeds to show a bit more of Rei's character, the reasons she likes Sunraku, and the little "conversation" they have when the latter uses the distraction she caused to escape.

Animalia had used a spell out of desperation since she could only use it at 1 HP and this allowed her to destroy Arthur, which was in Sunraku's favor. The protagonist uses Emul's transportation abilities and together, they return to Rabituza. They both take this opportunity for Sunraku to go through a training session.

This part of the episode is mostly used for comedic purposes and showcases Sunraku's abilities as a fighter as he defeats nine opponents during the course of the training session.

However, Vash, the Rabituza leader, calls forth the tenth enemy, which is the Wood Mage, and the episode ends by revealing that no one has ever defeated this creature in the game.
