Shangri-La Frontier (2023) s01e18 Episode Script
Putting Feelings Into a Moment, Part 4
1
Sunraku-san is not still not back.
That means he's still fighting.
Sunraku-san!
Looks like it'd be difficult to take
this thing down with just simple buffs.
The armor's thickest around the torso.
Its vital parts have to be in there.
But the question is, how do we
open up that super-tough armor?
I have an idea.
You in?
What is it?
A sure-fire plan to break Kirin's armor.
That is
Radiant Sky
Odyssey!
I shall slash even a dragon!
Sky Radiance
The heck was that?
I don't know what "Sky Radiance"
or whatever this is
But this move
is too insane!
Will I make it?!
Wait!
But I told you, didn't I?
It's gonna take more than that
to beat me!
My ultimate move, "Self-Resurrection"!
It was a big bet, but I managed
to revive myself!
Except for my equipments, that is.
My Spiked Battlehelm
is half-broken.
And my Lifestide Sash
is fully destroyed.
That Sky Radiance-thingy
is nuts!
Does it have equipment break
and armor-piercing effect?
Maybe even insta-kill effect, too?
If so
Without surpassing my ultimate strike
I shall never fall.
It's the same stance as before!
Radiant Sky Odyssey.
Thunder Clap.
Are you kidding me?!
You're starting over
from the spamming?!
Wind Slash!
Wind Slash!
Wind Slash!
That was close!
I see!
This attack spam and
the Sky Radiance at the end
That whole cycle is
Radiant Sky Odyssey!
Now then, how do I deal with it?
It was around 30 seconds after
he started that he used Sky Radiance.
Pyroclastic Dragon Surge!
There's a lag when he uses
Pyroclastic Dragon Surge.
It's not that big of a threat.
Ash Blizzard!
The same goes for Ash Blizzard.
They're easy to dodge
once you see them coming!
Tidal Rush!
What moves he uses in
Radiant Sky Odyssey is random.
But dodging them
is just a game of memory!
Wind Slash!
I should take account of
all other possible moves,
manage my stamina,
and maintain a distance of
around three meters from him.
Thunder Clap!
Only move as little as needed.
It's not that hard once I get used to it.
He got my legs again!
It's 30 seconds as expected.
The problem is this.
Sky Radiance!
It's totally different from
any other attack he killed me with.
It's something more fundamental.
This is meant to kill the player.
An insta-death attack,
no questions asked.
For example,
let's assume a level 99 player comes in
fully geared and holding a shield.
I bet he can still cut them easily
like cutting through butter.
Without surpassing my ultimate strike
I shall never fall.
Radiant Sky Odyssey!
And the worst of all,
this thing that prevents me from dodging.
It won't let me move from the spot
and I'll have to take on
his Sky Radiance head-on.
Sky Radiance!
Should I destroy his sword?
No, doing that while dodging
his barrage of attacks is unrealistic.
Neither does beating the guy himself.
That was the last
Rebirth Tearjewel I have.
I have five Divine Lifesalves left.
Assuming he'll do Sky Radiance
every 30 seconds,
I can only survive up to 3 minutes.
It's been a little over 5 minutes
since the third phase started.
Not enough to reach 10 minutes.
Without surpassing my ultimate strike
I shall never fall.
Without surpassing it,
he'll never fall, huh?
Radiant Sky Odyssey.
Wind Slash.
Thunder Clap.
Besides, it was never certain
that he'd be down in 10 minutes.
So the best move is
to find a way to survive
his Radiant Sky Odyssey.
Sky Radiance.
Conquering his Sky Radiance
should be the winning condition
against Wethermon!
And to achieve that
I'll have to parry him.
To do that against a foe like Wethermon,
I'll need to land a critical deflect.
And I have to do that
without being able to move
or even a room to do
fine-tune adjustments.
If I miss my timing even a little,
my weapon will break.
But I have to do it,
or else we have no chance to win
What I have to do is to figure out
what's needed at the very last moment
and fine-tune things for that.
It's almost ready.
It's finally starting
to come together.
Just wait there a little more.
Wethermon.
Without surpassing my ultimate strike
I shall never fall.
We can leave Sunraku-kun
deal with the big guy
Yeah, and we'll deal with this thing.
So, about your sure-fire plan
to break the Kirin's armor
It's gonna be hard
to bring things to that point.
Too much for you?
You kidding?
I ain't gonna let you
diss a fighting game pro like that.
Okay, then
I'm counting on you.
Huh?
WHAT?!
Why did you kill yourself
all of a sudden?!
Took you long enough.
What are you doing?
That's what I'm asking you!
Spear users can't fight
one-handed, you know.
I need to get revived
to go back to normal.
At least tell me that beforehand!
Okay, let's start from square one.
First, we look for its weak point.
The backbone that connects
the top and bottom.
It gives the same feel
as the other parts.
C'mon! Over here!
Not as light as before, right?
I got that drug and
a bunch of buffs on me now.
And I'm using two ropes!
Pull down its top
the moment it lifts one leg!
Katzo-kun!
Good job!
In this era of VR gaming,
any fighting game pro gonna know
how a person's body moves
under any and all conditions!
It's not a person, though.
It's still humanoid!
They're more or less the same.
There! Right where I want you!
Here are more ropes!
I'll tie you down with
all the ropes I got on me!
This weapon's almost done for.
Adding that armor-piercing buff
is eating away at my weapon's durability.
I've been hitting its back, arms,
and legs a bunch of times,
but it's just as though all over.
But, there's one section
that's tougher than the rest!
It's the torso!
Something's gotta be there!
Katzo-kun! I'll come from the front next!
Roger that!
I can't hold it for too long!
Got it!
Time to spill your guts, you stupid giant!
Spear of Sunrise!
(Weapon Durability Low)
Break Warning
Change Weapon Recommended)
Hold just a little more!
My buff's about to run out too!
It's off!
Okay! Let's finish it!
It broke all my ropes!
What's that? A berserk mode?
Seems like destroying
its torso armor is the trigger.
What now? Should we take distance?
No, keep aiming at it.
If we don't shut it down soon,
these wild beams and missiles
could get to where Sunraku-kun is.
Just imagine what
he'd do if that happened.
Eeeh? What was that? I was holdin'
my own against a Unique Monster,
but you two couldn't even
keep his little pet occupied?
Can you explain
what's the deal with that?
Right? I bet he won't shut up
about it for six whole months.
Yeah. I knew I would.
Me too.
All right!
If that's how it is
All the prep work is done,
so let's land that sure-fire plan now!
You got it.
Let's kill the giant!
I only have two spears left.
Aaah, what a waste.
Can you imagine how much
I spent just to make one of these?
Now's not the time for regrets, okay?
You wouldn't know how I feel.
You just use your fists.
All right!
You are the one who sews.
I am the one who ties.
I align with all things,
but to all darkness
that goes against me
I strike!
Shadow Wedge!
Shadow Wedge.
By stabbing the target's shadow,
it lets me seal away their movement.
The effect lasts until the weapon
you strike it with is destroyed.
Based on the Kirin's size,
we've got five seconds at best.
We only have one chance.
Here I go.
My last spear!
Giant Killer
Skewer!
(Giant Killing Skewer)
A perfect item for a big statue like you!
Let's do this, Katzo-kun!
Okay! Don't you miss!
Pencilgon!
Oh no!
It fired a missile at me
before I sealed its movement!
Dammi
No problem!
I know I said
a spear user can't fight with one hand.
I take that back!
Kirin's armor
One arm is all I need for you!
Take this! Giant Killer!
All or Nothing!
He's all yours, Katzo-kun.
Red, blue, yellow.
Three colors combined!
Spirit Fist: Dark Overstrike!
Time to sink,
you empty void!
Human Pile Bunker!
Katzo-kun!
I'm okay.
W-We did it!
I'm so beat!
If that didn't finish it off,
we'd be so dead.
Ugh, the recoil from
Dark Overstrike paralyzed me.
You're out of stamina.
You'll be fine after some rest
How's Sunraku-kun?
That was my last resurrection item.
I've made it, Wethermon.
I'm all ready now.
Hunger Wolf.
Climax Boost.
They both are ready to cast again.
Moonblades' fusion gauge is fully charged!
Radiant Sky Odyssey!
30 seconds from now
That will be your last Sky Radiance.
Wethermon the Tombguard.
Your ultimate sword slash
I'll conquer it
and bring this to its finale!
Wind Slash!
Tidal Rush!
Nimbus Fist!
Using my recast time,
I accurately gauged the timeframe
of the Radiant Sky Odyssey.
Two seconds left before his Sky Radiance!
That will be your last!
Come, Wethermon!
The key to victory is this Moonblade!
Twin Moon!
The fusion form of Waxing and Waning.
When used, it applies a special effect
that boost your critical damage
and critical success rate
the lower your stats
are than the enemy's.
This is the best weapon
to use in this situation!
It increases my success rate at parrying!
Furthermore!
With a combination of
Hunger Wolf and Climax Boost,
my agility is boosted
In this condition, I'll able
to bite onto his Sky Radiance!
Huh?
(Climax Boost)
(Can't Use)
It didn't activate?
Ah
A skill that I can only use
when my HP is at a third or less.
I screwed up!
I missed my tuning now?!
Oh no!
I've taken it so many times,
I can tell!
Hunger Wolf alone won't
let me keep up with his speed!
Think! There must be something!
Sunraku, think!
Think! Think of something!
Sky
Everyone here is just so
obsessed with that Setsuna.
The Luck stat requirement for Guts has
been changed in today's massive update.
If your Luck stat is 50 or higher,
and you're knocked out
by self-inflicted or recoil damage
You can survive the hit with 1 HP
just one time!
(Sunraku)
(Hunger Wolf
Boost your Strength, Agility, and Vitality when hungry and low on HP.
Lowers Stamina, Dexterity, and Tech in exchange.)
(Climax Boost
Boost all stats the higher the opponent's level than yours)
Radiant Sky Odyssey is a series of
movements that ends with Sky Radiance.
Which means
Unless you unleash the Sky Radiance
it'll never end for you!
Neither your Radiant Sky Odyssey
animation
nor your long, long
tomb-guarding duty!
In the name of Vysache,
I'll whip you good!
Sky Radiance!
Crescent Vorpal!
(Crescent Vorpal)
(Sky Radiance)
Go to sleep already!
Wethermon the Tombguard!
You were strong.
But
I've seen that a million times.
Your blade won't reach me anymore.
The ultimate sword strike
is beaten.
Splendid.
Well done
Seeing through my ultimate strike
As the radiant sky transitioned
into the ultimate strike,
sky radiance.
So my words now turn into praise.
You are brilliant.
SLF Theater!
Mini!
First, prepare a bar of chocolate.
Second, finely chop the chocolate bar.
Third, melt the chocolate.
So far so good.
But what shape should I go with?
F-For this Valentine's chocolate
to give to Hizutome-kun.
I-I'm still not prepared
to give him a heart shape.
Then should I go with that shape?
But maybe he wouldn't like being
given his own head out of all things
And it's a bit embarrassing to make
a half-naked chocolate figure.
Then
Wait!
Hizutome-kun will eat me!
It's still too early for that!
Aah! No! Don't bite that spot!
What? You're starting from that spot?
What?! Filling your mouth full,
while making lots of noise?!
We're still underage!
No, that's a bad idea.
I should go with something else.
My mind is not strong enough
to handle that.
Th-Then
I'll make my sister instead!
Wait, why?!
Argh, I'm not sure what anymore!
Then
I melted it,
but I turn it back into a chocolate bar.
(It clearly tastes better than ones in the market, but since it looks
completely like ones you'd find in stores, it feels creepy.
