Shangri-La Frontier wrapped up its thrilling season 2 with episode 25, which aired on March 30, 2025. This episode culminates in a significant twist: Kei Uomi finds himself unable to participate in the GGC initially due to a prior commitment to another competition for his sponsors.
The bulk of this episode revolves around Kei, Sunraku, Natsume, and Towa as they strategize to enable Kei to challenge Silvia Goldberg. However, their efforts are fraught with obstacles. As the episode concludes, the remaining team members step onto the stage, setting the scene for tense competition and leaving fans with a tantalizing cliffhanger regarding their next moves.
Episode Highlights: Kei’s Dilemma and the GGC Expectations
The episode kicks off with the Star Rain members enjoying breakfast, while Silvia Goldberg, having indulged in an extensive gaming session the night before, is compensating with a hearty meal. As they gear up for their imminent battle, Silvia expresses that Kei is her primary interest, although they soon notice a peculiarity in the names of two fellow competitors.
As the narrative progresses, we see Sunraku alongside Towa Amane, Megumi Natsume, and Kei Uomi in their hotel room hotly discussing tactics for the competition. With concerns over identity, Kei queries his teammates about the aliases they should adopt for the upcoming clash. Their indecision leads to the humorous designations of “No Name” and “No Face.”
The team further deliberates on Sunraku’s outfit, considering disguises to maintain anonymity. Towa mentions his request for costumes, but their planning is abruptly halted when Kei receives alarming news: he must attend a different competition, a requirement from his sponsors.
Competition Commences: Towa and Sunraku Make Their Move
In the latter half of the episode, Sunraku’s cleverness shines as he points out that Kei must arrive an hour early for his additional competition.
