Log Horizon S2 - Episode 12 Discussion / Poll

[Random14]

Happy ending to the two volume arc that season 2 started with, glad to see them all reunited, and they've grown from their experiences. Wonder if Shiroe's new equipment will come in handy down the road. And nice to see the new bonds Shiroe has established with Silver Sword and even Demikas (sorta).

So they bought all the important buildings early on, but keeping those buildings was a major hassle, so guess its better to just remove that option from the playing field altogether. Possibly improving relations with the Kunie clan is probably another positive too. As well as a glimpse of their major rivals/enemy player city.

Its been two somewhat heavy arcs, it'll be interesting to see how lighthearted the next episode will be.

A nice end to this arc. Demikas had a nice scene with his wife and he and Shiroe can finally agree on something.

Tetra trap confirmed.

[kache]

So, from what I gathered: they didn't kill the Knight and the last boss of the Raid, which means the loot they got wasn't all the loot they could get from it.

I really hope in an OVA/Movie of Silver Sword clearing this raid again, killing all the bosses and getting the whole loot!

[Netto Azure]

Jeez, you could just see and feel the factionalism in Plant Hwyaden.

Anyway, interesting ending for this season, the Marie vs. Tetra scenes were lulzy.

And it seems people here were correct in guessing Tetra is a GIRL. :P

Pretty sure this was mentioned a couple episodes with William's epic speech.

Something about him being a coward and running away from the problems.

Kazuhiko is lvl97, holy cow.

What a bold move Shiroe made on the land ownership, great resolution and can I say world changing? But true, they could have it better than continually feeding a bottomless stomach and the possible bad implications, as after all money is the root of all evil. They haven't really elaborated on how the new system will take effect on the most basic level, I wonder if the Akiba adventurers still have a way to access their guild house. But looking at the "Cooking with Nyanta" episode preview , I guess it is not a major problem.

And what about Plant Hwyaden in Minami? Not sure if it was in this forum that I remember someone asked the question of how Plant Hwyaden was handling the financial pinch. Shiroe's contract seems to cover only properties belonging to the Round Table, so Plant Hwyaden will need to follow Shiroe's method or perhaps they have already found another way? Pretty interesting stuff. Also it's cool that we meet the members of Plant Hwyaden, looks like we are finally getting to the main plot in the 2nd half.

I believe he said Akibhara and all the other land. I don't think it counts Minami.

As for them, I would guess they're a lot more dictatorial so haven't felt the pinch so much. They make people go out to earn them money and such.

Question about the Akatsuki vs the Pk Guard... are they ever gonna show her beating him or did i somehow miss that episode? (sorry if im dumb and missed it somehow xD)

You missed it, it was a few episodes ago.

I thought the term he kept using was "Yamato," which would be all of Japan.

Though how does this work for land that's already owned? Surely the normal game mechanics don't allow someone to buy your land without your permission, so are the Kunie overriding that? Do the land owners just wake up one morning and find their bank account exploded overnight?

The light novel stated this, can't remember if the anime included this or not, but already-owned land was not affected. So if someone owned a guild hall, it wasn't like the rights to the guild hall were suddenly taken away.

This also means that Minami wasn't affected, since Nureha/PH is in possession of their important structures.

Yeah I think the first contract he triggered involves only the properties that Round Table owns in Akiba, so I guess Log Horizon's guild house doesn't fall under it? The second one he proposed is for the free zones in Yamato, my interpretation is that it encompass everywhere else in the server except the areas that are already owned ie. by Plant Hwyaden. Difference in governance for Minami seems reasonable, but in alluding to feeding a bottomless stomach, I just wonder if the huge bills will eventually catch up to them.

It was mentioned in his speech episode that he was eager to do raid more than anything and he thought maintaining the peace of Akihabara is an impossible task even with Shiroe in it.

Maybe they beat Luseat off-screen. Remember, Shiroe's strategy was keeping those three raid bosses apart.

So does anyone know if it has been addressed of whether or not the players can do the "deed"? I'd imagine it would be pretty strange for these guys with female avatars and vice versa haha.

It has been addressed, and the answer is yes, they can do the "deed". The only questions is whether or not adventurers can actually have kids.

[frodonk]

So a former member of Debauchery Tea Party is in Plant Hwyden (KR)? And Kazuhiko, a member of Plant Hwyden, recommended Tetra to Log Horizon? Whuut? I thought they were enemies??

Even some enemies gave salt to their enemies.
Tetra's a

trap anyway

[frodonk]

What does Tetra being a trap have to do with it?

Lol I'm chuckling at the thought of Demikas having a few kids running around him in circles.
