We've burned through like 20 threads just for this morning's stream, right?

Reason for ending the exploration: "Just kind of got tired."
Record: 86th floor.

Wait… seriously?

EX-rank explorers can do anything, huh?

Here's what we learned this time:
– Kamishiro Rion is a beautiful but disappointing person.
– Kamishiro Rion and Kisaragi-kun are like a messy older sister and her long-suffering younger brother.
– Kisaragi-kun can make it rain whenever he feels like it.
– Magic compression is being researched in America.
– The boss of the 75th floor is some kind of weird dragon.
– Explorers can fly (??????)
– Kisaragi-kun can summon gods (?????????)
– The 86th floor is a beach.

Too much information!

It doesn't make any sense.

Even watching the stream left me confused.

– Explorers can fly (??????)
?????????

No, they can't.

But Kamishiro Rion was flying!

Don't try to apply logic to EX-ranks. That's the takeaway from this thread.
51: Anonymous Explorer
True.

What's happening…?

I was at work and missed the stream, but I can tell it was chaotic.

Trust me, even if you watched it, it still didn't make sense.

Here's what viewers learned today:
– Kisaragi-kun is amazing.
– Kamishiro Rion is amazing.
56: Anonymous Explorer
Yeah, that's pretty accurate.
57: Anonymous Explorer
– Kamishiro Rion is an idiot.
– Kisaragi-kun is a little odd.
58: Anonymous Explorer
You'd know Kamishiro Rion is an idiot if you've followed her on social media.
59: Anonymous Explorer
Is she really that bad?
60: Anonymous Explorer
She mostly just posts pictures, though.

So many brain-breaking moments today.

Isn't Asagao-chan just too good for him?

No one in the country is on Asagao's level except for three other people.

So, EX Reiman isn't as ridiculous as I thought?

Even Jinguji Kaede managed to solo the Takayama Dungeon to the bottom.
66: Anonymous Explorer
EX-ranks are just built differently…
67: Anonymous Explorer
Wait, really?
68: Anonymous Explorer
Wasn't she part of a party? I'm confused.
69: Anonymous Explorer
Jinguji Kaede is known as the fastest explorer, right?
70: Anonymous Explorer
But how accurate is that claim?
71: Anonymous Explorer
I'm gonna suggest on social media that they collab with Jinguji Kaede next!
72: Anonymous Explorer
At this point, I want to see all the EX explorers.

The dungeon world is in chaos after today's stream.

No surprise there.

I expected as much.

Dungeon researchers on social media are losing their minds.

It's no wonder people are freaking out after so much new information was revealed at once.

The official Explorer Association account posted an update about the new record set in the Shibuya Dungeon, then immediately followed up with a sigh.
86: Anonymous Explorer
EX-ranks, man…
87: Anonymous Explorer
Maybe we shouldn't let EX-ranks meet each other.
88: Anonymous Explorer
We need to keep them separated and under control.
89: Anonymous Explorer
Can we even control monsters like that?

They can fly, remember?

Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

The Dungeon boards, the Kamishiro Rion fan forums, the researchers, the Explorer Association, and the dungeon streaming community…
They're all losing their minds.

What have you done, Kisaragi-kun?
96: Anonymous Explorer
This is basically a coup.
97: Anonymous Explorer
It's practically an overthrow of the government.
98: Anonymous Explorer
We might get an official press conference from the government at this rate.
99: Anonymous Explorer
The Dungeon Ministry is definitely going to hold a press conference.

It's been years since we had a new record for the highest floor reached… And the exploration ended because "he got tired."

He could probably get a million views just by rolling a pencil.

It's always a mess, and yet I can't stop watching.

Kisaragi-kun just became my favorite streamer.

Does he have a lot of female fans?

Maybe not?

I bet he's got a lot of female explorer fans, though.

Definitely.

Most of his viewers are probably explorers in general.

His audience seems pretty young.

Once you get an anti-thread, you know you've made it big.

His channel just hit a million subs too.

He's an EX explorer, streaming, and now he's got a ton of haters.

It's full of jealous posts, and it's hilarious.

Don't call it jealousy or they'll get mad.
131: Anonymous Explorer
I've seen the hate comments on social media too. He's been getting a lot of flak lately.
132: Anonymous Explorer
It's because he's collabing with Asagao-chan and showing off his absurd strength.
133: Anonymous Explorer
It's like he's one of us, but with insane powers, so people are picking on him.
134: Anonymous Explorer
If he were more serious, maybe he wouldn't get so much hate…
135: Anonymous Explorer
If he were serious, he wouldn't be streaming at all.
136: Anonymous Explorer
The anti-thread people will never beat him, though.

Jealousy is real, huh?

He's too busy for that, I bet.

He should at least enable ads, right?

He's probably already swimming in money, though.

By the way, his next stream is apparently going to be a "Dungeon Basics" class.

Maybe upper-floor streams will become more popular now that people are over the deep floors… Nah, probably not.

No chance.

They're EX-ranks. Of course they're not normal.

A few weeks ago, I would've denied this, but after seeing Kamishiro Rion and Kisaragi-kun… Yeah, it's obvious now.

I thought they were just slightly above human, but they're full-blown monsters now. Their only human trait is their appearance.
