The page credit should have this guy instead of Shachiku.

Important reminder: he talks like using the Holy Sword is a huge setback, and I suppose it is, but he's said that the speed running clear time with it was eight hours, and with the Obsidian Sword four hours. And that was apparently before the discovery of skipping Arachne to warp to Apocalypse, after which point the floor became two hours.

Granted, that was to defeat the Demon Lord, not to get the True Ending with all the Elite Four dead. It also doesn't take into account any possible moral implications, like reducing harm to innocent civilians or infrastructure. Not to mention what was brought up in this chapter.

Still. Our boy is wicked smart.

I like the idea of him having speed running tech, but it going off script. A.K.A. blind speed running.

Thanks for the chapter!

Yeah. It's more important for speedrunners who don't just reset like "entertainment" speedrunners like those at AGDQ*, or in games with comparatively long speedruns, but adaptability is an important skill for speedrunners. For one thing it's good to know the game forward and backward, helps with planning new strats.

*Clarification: AGDQ and other entertainment speedrunners can and do run competitive speeduns, I'm just saying there's a branching skillset to hone in addition to normal speedrun tech.

This is absolutely true, which makes it all the more notable that Shachiku really does have experience with event-style speedrunning, as shown in chapter 1. It would be really interesting if that was an intentional touch by the author, to show that he's used to playing through mishaps and rerouting on the fly like he's constantly having to do in the series. Even if it's just a happy accident, it certainly works in the story's favour.

The bug is tied to repeatedly hitting one miniboss in a pattern until it dies. The miniboss is dead so he can't remake the stick.
It's specifically a Miniboss tied to Arachne, so it's impossible to get it back with Arachne's present state.
Like some guy commented earlier it could possibly be recreated, but both narratively and in-setting, Shachiku Taitei doesn't know how to do it. (It's not a compelling plot point to go and just make a new OP weapon)

Anyway, I really am curious about Kiira mentioning a "helmet" and armor. Shachiku also comments on it internally, so it's not just a mixup. I would think it'd be her talking about her ponytail hair ornament (with it being a joke like how her bikini armor's hardly armor either), but it looks like she's wearing that with this dress anyway.

Wonder if we're gonna take a detour and have him just show off some infinite exp / grinding exploits (now that he's been told not to speedrun)), which don't usually show up in the actual speedrun routes.
