Shangri-La Frontier season 1 recap
In the brutal virtual reality game Shangri-La Frontier, Rokuro Hizutome, a skilled “bug buster,” embarks on a dangerous adventure as his avatar, Sunraku. Facing formidable enemies and overcoming countless challenges, Sunraku forms a team with Emul, a mischievous rabbit, and other companions.
In season 1, Sunraku acquired the Mark of Lycagon. This curse, a direct result of his encounter with Lycagon, one of the game’s most powerful creatures, significantly altered his journey. It not only weakened Sunraku but also granted him unique abilities and potential.
The Mark became a defining force in Sunraku’s evolution, shaping his character and influencing his choices and strategies throughout the season.
The season culminates in a climactic battle against Wethermon, the Tomb Guard. Through strategic teamwork and Sunraku’s unique abilities, they emerge victorious, unlocking new mysteries and setting the stage for future adventures in the vast and dangerous world of Shangri-La Frontier.
