Shibuya Raid Team

The Shibuya Raid Team is the unofficial name for the group that was formed to attempt to defeat the Genius Taliktan, who transformed the city of Shibuya into a raid zone, and contact the Travelers on Mare Tranquillitatis from the communications facility in Shibuya.

The twenty-four-man team consist of members of Log Horizon, the Crescent Moon Alliance, D.D.D, and West Wind Brigade.

Overview
The members of the team were organized primarily based on three criteria: raid experience, their resistance to the Eternal Moths' coma-inducing pollen, and their trustworthiness due to the sensitive nature of their mission. As a result, the entire Log Horizon guild participated, with most other members of the team having direct ties to Log Horizon.

Normally, the junior members of Log Horizon, who were relatively low-leveled and had no proper raid experience, would not have been considered, but the Round Table Alliance could not afford to split their forces too much in the wake of both the Eternal Moth threat as well as pressure from Holy Empire Westelande. As a result, the parties were organized in order to accommodate their lower levels and inexperience.

Trivia

 * Details from the animation storyboards in the first boxed DVD reveal that the animation team unofficially named them the 'Shibuya Raid Team,' and that they would be in the last two episodes of the season.
