Lao-Shan Lung & Kushala Are Back in Wilds: Ascendance — Japanese Hunters React: "Fun… the First Time, at Least"

Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance reveal confirmed the return of two classic Elder Dragons — the fortress-siege titan Lao-Shan Lung and the storm-wreathed Kushala Daora. But while the Western reaction was mostly pure hype, Japanese veteran hunters met the news with something far more complicated. The thread is a tug-of-war between deep nostalgia ("just seeing Lao-Shan Lung in HD is enough") and hard-earned skepticism about whether Lao's slow siege grind will actually be fun, or a chore by the third hunt. Along the way they argue whether Kushala will be Rise- or World-based, bet that Chameleos gets benched yet again, and split hard over whether 'the grind IS the fun' or just busywork. It ends on the single most battle-scarred prediction only a longtime hunter could make.
