Shangri-La Frontier episode 18 recap

The most recent episode of the anime was the conclusion of the battle with Wezaemon, with the character of Sunraku making a full display of his abilities to adapt to the different challenges that this Unique Monster put his way. Furthermore, this episode also gave Arthur Pencilgon and Oikatzo much more to work with as they managed to defeat Wezaemon's mechanic monster, Kirin.

Sunraku was overpowered by Wezaemon at first, knowing that he only had an established set of moves that could end this enemy but didn't have the specific conditions to execute it. As he made use of all of his items to come back to life after every finishing move by Wezaemon, he analyzed the pattern of his attacks and came up with a strategy that could grant him victory.

On the other hand, the characters of Arthur Pencilgon and Oikatzo were focusing on Wezaemon's mechanical pet, Kirin, who had turned into a mecha in episode 17. They found out that Kirin had a weak spot, with Oikatzo holding it with his special ropes. Arthur then used her last two remaining spears to cause some serious damage, with the blonde pro gamer ending the battle with the finishing blow.

Then the focus went back to Sunraku, who was barely surviving and was about to execute his plan when he realized that he needed to have just a third of his health points to meet the conditions of his tactic. However, his friends threw a dagger to distract Wezaemon, which allowed Sunraku the chance to hurt himself and execute his attack, resulting in the defeat of the Unique Monster.
