THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Runa's personality is still ever noticable.

We also got Rei this episode (I think it's an original character) and definitely not someone to take lightly. Glad they're keeping Saotome a bit relevant this season at least. She's becoming much more confident this season even compared to the previous one.

Pretty good episode.

We have Jabami meet more of her distant relatives, Miyo and Miri, and quickly start to gamble with them.

Nim Type Zero seems like a pretty interesting game compared to some of the other ones imo. It sucks Jabami couldn't finish the game due to being poisoned by Miyo.

I kind of also like how Suzui gets more time in the series by being a part of this game and it seems things are getting more interesting with the vice prez wanting to have Mary join her.

I laughed at Rei doing this harder than I should've. So random


Very excited for the next episode.

Ugh, honestly, I can't stand Runa's voice and attitude. I couldn't tolerate her during the first season and it seems that won't change during this season either...

But well, that aside, it was an interesting episode. I already was wondering whether Suzui would have any importance in the show or not so I guess I'm glad to know that he will be able to do... something.

So, poison, uh?... I don't know whether to say that strategy is smart or pathetic but well. At least Mary appeared to give Yumeko and Suzui a hand. Looking forward to seeing how she will manage to win against those girls.

And on a side note, seeing Rei "taming" those girls was both random and funny for some reason. It almost made me regret about having mistaken him for a girl when I first saw him.

Amazing match!! Honestly, this match is going to redeem Suzui just a little.

I really love the added effects and focused eye colors and lens. It kinda makes them look like addicts ready to gamble to death. I love it!!

Ririka is Momobami's twin. They're even voiced by the same person (Miyuki Sawashiro). Still, I can't wait to see more of her!

Yes, even have the same effects and all, but I notice they are emphasizing more on the colored eyes and lens. I guess they want to show how even crazier the characters are during the match.

None of that is in the manga, but I do think it enhances the experience ^^

Gambles are becoming more dangerous, Yumeko now risks her life and only Mary and Suzui can save her.
Yumeko receives an invitation to gamble and to her surprise, her rivals are Miri and Miyo, two girls who belong to the Momobami family and then they receive the surprise that the dealer of the gamble will be Runa, the head of the committee of supervision.
Suzui has a bad feeling from this gamble and joins the game, which makes Yumeko happier (damn you Suzui lucky boy, to feel the marshmallows of Yumeko)
The game seems quite simple and we see Runa taking her job seriously, as she suspects Miri and Miyo.
The game runs its course until Miyo loses, but Yumeko acts strangely, until she faints.
On the other hand, Mary has her own business to attend to, the vice-president of the student council Ririka, challenges Mary to a gamble, where if she wins or loses she will have to be an ally of Ririka, but Mary gets upset and takes Ririka's mask off (I know that Ririka is the twin of Kirari, but she is beautiful and I like her more than Kirari). In the end Mary refuses the offer, but she receives a call from Suzui saying that Yumeko is going to die and Mary decides to accept the bet and wins immediately, then it was reveal that Ririka was the person who organized the gamble between Yumeko and Miri with Miyo.
Miri and Miyo are tricky Bitches, I can not believe they poison their opponents before starting the bet and then win because their opponent loses consciousness, that is dirty, but I expected no less from the Momobami family.
Mary takes the place of Yumeko and she asks Suzui to follow Mary's orders without hesitation, Miri and Miyo offer the antidote for 100 coins and Mari accepts the bet and decides that in that same turn she will win.
This episode was spectacular, again the animation is 10/10, the exaggerated faces achieved their task, especially the faces that Runa put, that terrifying little monster, her eyes are disturbing, the same with Mary, her face when she accepts the conditions of Ririka was terrifying, never anger Mary. The faces that Miyo puts on also displeased me a lot, that face that mocks but also despises Mary and Suzui, I did not like.

So Nym Type Zero is kind of like blackjack but with four players...

I'm guessing that the vice-president wants someone who isn't insane to help keep order in the academy...

Now what could be wrong with Yumeko? Probably suffering from gambling hypertension...

They deliberately poisoned Yumeko so that she couldn't participate and to bring Mary and Ririka in for the votes? No one wants to play fair in this academy. You might as well just poison everyone so that you can win by default...

Mary's feeling confident. I bet you she's got four zeroes in her hand...

Seeing that Mary and Suzui are the ones that's gonna have to win the game this time put a big smile on my face

I love Best Girl Jabami with all my heart and soul but it'll be more refreshing to have the other guys put in some work without her help too

I am VERY EXCITED to see the next episode now

All I can say is WOW! what an episode this was.

Pretty interesting game so far, even got Ryouta to join in to try and help Yumeko out.

Good start winning the 1st hand but that is a dirty trick using the poison like that.

Ririka is quite clever, she is using Mary to do her bidding for her, she can take out those that are threatening Kirari.

I love how badass Mary was at the end there, even Suzui got his gamble on.

Next episode will be amazing I reckon.

Is the Momobami family is some form of natural selection? So far there seems not to be a single person who at least wouldn't be interested in parents' business line or even at gambling activities. Or it could be, since all we can see is them fusing their field with some cheap game.

Liking Saotome's role in this, feels like she might be that dark horse that eventually comes out in the top without major expectations.

Thanks for the answer. Well, to be honest, I wanted to watch the season after it was released. But interest eats me, especially considering that "yuri scene", you know.

Sometimes I forget that Suzui exists as a character and not just a narrator. This episode reminded that me that he's actually an MC too. XD

Anyway, the opposing party pulled a low move by poisoning Yumeko.

Excited to see Mary and Suzui work together, Mary especially was pretty cool at the end.
Vice President is such a cutie. <3

Little sad that I won't get hear those sweet Yumeko lines during this gamble.

Hmm so its true that Yumeko and the family are related. Runa's eyes sure were scary. A card game as Yumeko's first game huh. The VP's offer to Mary sure was tempting. Have to say the president's twin sister really is the opposite in terms of personality. But to think that Yumeko's opponents would use poison though. Round two of the game though sure become deadly serious though. The simple card game sure escalated dramatically though but at the same time its nice to see Mary step back into the spotlight once more. The insight into the VP's inner self was also interesting.

Ah! Suzui sucks big time, I thought he would be much help but I guess Mary will be the one that takes the spotlight in this game. I was surprised that Yumeko got poisoned so easily, she usually is cautious than anyone else. I guess this season she has gotten a bit rusty.

I like that Suzui and Mary finally get a chance to shine. It reminded me partially why I liked Season 1 so much. Rei seducing those 2 ladies was hilarious. I didn't expect Yumeko to get poisoned either. Those special Student Council chips are interesting though. I'd love to see what happens to someone who has to the Council's bidding whether it's only for a day or a whole month.

Well, during this episode and the last one, some characters referred to Rei as a "He", not to mention that the subs I was reading used "he/him" for his character.

Vice-president planed everything, what a plan!

Can't wait for the next episode, i am so curious about how she will win this game but i think that Ryouta will play number "2", oh and btw his eyes, they were just like Yumeo's xD I think that after this game he will also be a fan of gambling.
What an episode!

This episode was so frustrating. The dealer kept spouting about 'absolute neutrality' yet she allowed the antagonists to use the antidote as a means to obtain more tokens. If they are able to create new rules on the spot, why not just threaten to break those feckers bones in exchange for more tokens or simply snatch the antidote and use it themselves? I hope the flawed logic was intentional AKA the former council was bribed or coerced - because if they're not, it really puts it into question as to whether this is the best school in Japan.

The last 30 seconds of this episode are pretty much exactly why I stick with this anime. The gambling itself is whatever, I don't give a shit. This particular gamble doesn't make sense and it's kind of dumb. But when you get those determined eyes that glow red, and the protagonists disregard their fear in a fit of pride, that makes the show. That right there.

She didn't have to 'allow' it;

Simply by the other participants all agreeing by the terms of the new rules (not rejecting them) - the antidote's token value - it's now allowed.

As for why they didn't just take it prior to that, I expect the dealer would have stopped them as that's not the way the academy works; they resolve conflicts by gambles.
