In Episode 46, Rakuro Hizutome (Sunraku) prepares for the upcoming competition at the international gaming event "GGC." After settling into luxurious accommodations, he meets his teammates in real life for the first time, including the pro gamer Kei Uomi and the famous model-gamer Towa Amane (Pencilgon). Kei reveals that their impromptu team of pros and amateurs will face off against the renowned US pro-gamer team "Star Rain," whose leader, Sylvia Goldberg, is considered nearly unbeatable. The decisive advantage might lie in the fact that the game "Galaxia Heroes: Chaos" is based on technology from "Shangri-La Frontier"—a circumstance that could unexpectedly benefit Sunraku and Pencilgon.

Shortly after, a training match takes place between Sunraku and the seasoned pro gamer Megumi Natsume, who eyes the seemingly inexperienced team members with skepticism. As both prepare for the battle, it becomes clear that this encounter will decisively show whether Sunraku's gameplay experience in Shangri-La Frontier is enough to stand a chance against top players like the legendary Sylvia Goldberg and her team "Star Rain." The episode thus highlights the beginning of an exciting, tactically charged duel that will determine whether Sunraku and his ragtag team have what it takes to succeed on the international stage.
