Shangri-La Frontier episode 13 recap
The latest installment primarily focused on the party encountering one of the game's most prominent non-playable characters, Setsuna of the Missing Days. She discloses her backstory as the late beloved of Wezaemon and how he is unable to move on from the past, which is why he continues to guard her grave. This is why she implores Sunraku and the others to put an end to that man so he can finally find peace.
This marked a significant turning point in the series as Arthur Pencilgon displayed empathy and emotions beyond the desire to kill, as observed by Sunraku and Oikatzo. The episode provided insight into Sunraku’s family life, highlighting the hobbies of his sister, mother, and father, and how they balance these with spending time together.
Additionally, there was a pivotal moment when Sunraku engaged in another game to hone his abilities and prepare for the Wezaemon battle, yet encountered a new player who posed a challenge.

Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of the Shangri-La Frontier series, I am eagerly anticipating the release of episode 14. The previous episode left us with a tantalizing glimpse into the backstory of Setsuna of the Missing Days and her connection to Wezaemon. I am intrigued to see how this revelation will impact Sunraku and his party's mission to find Wezaemon and put an end to his suffering.
The character development in this series has been exceptional, and I am particularly excited to see how Arthur Pencilgon's newfound empathy and emotions will shape his interactions with the other characters. The exploration of Sunraku's family life also adds a new dimension to his character and provides a deeper understanding of his motivations.
