It's scary to think about....the idea of being stuck in a room until you can collect a certain amount of points.

The stakes in this show continously grow but hey, it's part of the games.

This is getting progressively more complicated and kind of harder to follow. If Alpaca was supervising the game properly would he not notice the hole in the floor? Surely it can not be normally closed from the inside... Let's see if there is another load of explanations later on.

We finally got to see Oshigiri Zakuro's sister, Sakura.

So this time they have to solve a complex puzzle to help out Onigasaki.

It's getting more and more complex I guess.
Now there's two groups.

The new one doesn't really make sense to me tho? Like Daniel already mentioned,but also just.. Where are they? As if they are able to live 4 years in some underground when no one stocks supplies up, or do they come in? But then why doesn't anyone notice the ppl living there.
And why does this one guy had a friend 'a long time ago' but now he's the only one from the 9th avenue

The plot is moving forward much more rapidly now! I'll refrain from speculating too much on why that hole have not been discovered. Or if Yuzu and MC is suspicious. The former is barely explored, so we don't know if Alpaca actually knows or not. He claims he don't but we can't always believe his word.

The latter could be a red herring to make us suspect them, or to get the characters to develop trust with each other. Or they could be somehow integral to this whole situation. It could be either.

So far this anime is getting pretty good IMO. It have a weird sort of comedy and style but its unique and interesting.

At lest some stuff confirmed: Not a dream/death - but they are really alive. And some big company seems to be doing this. (Otherwise they wouldn't be able to hire a lot of people helping. And the underground guys know about people re-stocking stuff.)

Seems more of the boring explanations. Now I hope we can get some fight to escape. And maybe a interesting cliffhanger end and a 2nd 1-cour season to finish things up (with manga ending at the same time then).

Would be weird if they rescued Onigasaki and the other underground guys wouldn't get any screentime anymore. They all should move to underground trying to escape.

I have a feeling that Paka was one of the first participants in the games and is somehow bound to the role of gamemaster, so he looks for indirect ways to overthrow the whole system by letting dropouts like Kai escape the white room. I say this because I don't really see the Alpaca as being exactly malicious and seems to have a human side to him.

Well then , it looks like Kaikoku doesn't need any assistance since he has already beaten his team mates to the punch, the added good part was he was able to meet the sister that ninja guy was looking for.

Plot is moving forward progressively. As it seems, having Onigasaki out isn't gonna do any favours for everyone. That put Paka on a pedestal to level his/its position with everyone else, with the puzzle piece stage plot to save him (and escape while at it).

That said, Onigasaki found a secret room filled with...Alpacas? Turns out to be even more people who were caught in the White Room before his batch, plus Oshigiri's sister Sakura.

While on top, Yuzu is on the verge of disparity, but with everyone's help, they're sure to make it through.

The way I see it now is 2 converging stories, Onigasaki's way out and the others solving the puzzle to save him. How would this fare out...

The Ones Within delivers yet another fantastic episode! Our merry band of gamers faces a major hurdle, as Kaikoku is locked within the White Room and the only way to get him out is by solving a puzzle that even Yuzu has problem solving on her own. Kaikoku himself gets his own storyline in this episode and meets some former players from a previous avenue, and at long last, we meet Zakuro's sister, Sakura. We learn new things about the avenue games and the things the former players have done to survive after dropping out. Also, I really liked the symbolism used the final scene with Yuzu: black for despair and white for hope. Even if the "lend me your strength" line is a bit clichéd, it does show us that our main characters have truly earned each other's trust. All in all, this is one of the best shows of this season and I can't wait to see what happens next.

I will actually admit I have not. I am not saying it is impossible, but to do it perfectly and in an unnoticeable way... Alpaca was merely ignoring them all along, I am certain of it.

So I'm really recommend you to watch it. It is really great movie (great story, well acted and with satisfying ending). ;)

I think so too, I mean he at least should realise that players disappeared from previous Districts and it would be really weird if he never checked bathroom.

Finally something mayor about the island itself and the previous iterations, I'm pretty sure mr.Paka knows about them hiding there given that they need to steal some rations.

I really wonder how in the world they created those weird creatures if the people behind this 13th avenue are humans
