Shangri-La Frontier has captivated its audience with the release of Season 2, Episode 24 on March 23, 2025. The episode picks up from a dramatic cliffhanger where Sunraku, the protagonist, confronts the formidable king of Abyss City, Atlanticus Lepnorca, during a tense nighttime battle. Just when defeat seems imminent, Sunraku receives unexpected aid from Araba, prompting the duo to strategize against this new and daunting threat.
Rescue and Strategy: Araba Saves Sunraku
The episode kicks off directly from the previous cliffhanger, showcasing Atlanticus Lepnorca unleashing a devastating long-range assault. Sunraku narrowly escapes by utilizing his teleportation ability, retreating to Inventoria for a momentary reprieve. However, the battle is far from over as the resilient tower he had just altered remains standing, its own secrets ready to confront him.
As the confrontation unfolds, Sunraku deduces that the artificial intelligence governing Lepnorca mirrors that of the ominous Crystal Scorpions. Just as the creature seems poised to deliver a finishing blow, Araba makes a dramatic entry to rescue him, leveraging her unique merman abilities within the submerged terrain of Abyss City.
Calculating Victory: Sunraku’s Ingenious Plan
The latter part of the episode reveals Sunraku’s tactical brilliance. Realizing that the boss’s AI has fixated on him, he cleverly deploys one of his clones to divert Lepnorca’s attention, allowing him to return to Inventoria. This strategic maneuver leads Lepnorca to redirect its ire toward Araba, perfectly aligning with Sunraku’s battle strategy.
As the action reaches its climax, Sunraku climbs atop the protected tower, daring Lepnorca to unleash another long-range assault. The creature complies, and its own attack is artfully reflected back at it. Seizing the moment, both Sunraku and Araba deliver a devastating final blow, cementing their victory. However, the toll of the battle becomes evident as Sunraku struggles due to a sleepless night gaming preceding the showdown.
