All series / Shangri-La Frontier / Arc 3

Arc 3 of 11 in Shangri-La Frontier

Arc 3: Look up at the sky, the spreading sea, run the abyssal city

I’ve watched through

Season 1 stops before this arc.

Partly seen by the end of Season 2.

What happens

A tip from the mech game points at the unique of the abyss. Boarding a pirate ship for that quest drops the party into a city that runs upside down, with a week on the clock. In the real world the same week is a fighting-game tournament against professionals, so the raid and the stage have to share the same players.

Parts of this arc

  1. Through season 2
  2. From chapter 127
