| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I have to say, Kaname is getting more and more daring with every episode. Now they're even going after the leader in this twisted game. The bath scenes came out of nowhere lol. Weird balane of mood this episode. But hey, Shuka and Rein are getting along better. |
 |
| The story is becoming more and more interesting I can't believe there are only 3 episodes left |
 |
| Good episode. The competition of the rings is finally over with Kaname's victory. From that ending, we'll be seeing more of the Eighth clan. |
 |
| That episode was a lot to take in and things changed really quicky. Couldn't help but pop a smirk towards the end though. I do like where this is all going. |
| This episode was really interesting. Kaname won the game and he also got to make a request. I do wonder what was his main request aside from forming an alliance and healing Ryuuji's arm. Thou I'm do liking where this is going. Shuka and Sui's bathing scene was a sweet treat. Also Kaname was building his body for two months huh. Looking forward to his fight with the Danjo Boxing Club's leader. |
 |
| Seems like things are gonna step up a gear from here... Kaname's properly trained to fight and his clan is getting organized. I really wanted his clan to ally with the blonde guy's clan cause he seems cool so I'm happy! I think it might cause issues later on though, like if there's another treasure hunt. |
 |
| Kaname went from a nervous wreck, unable to fully adjust to the kill or be killed attitude of the game. To now slowly finding his mark. Gonna be a fun last few eps. |
| Thats quite the bluff that Kaname is forcing though. Still the satisfaction of seeing Wang get outsmarted though sure was priceless. And by doing so Kaname sure claimed an impressive victory. So the prize of that treasure hunt was a convo with the GM huh. The convo between Kaname and the GM though sure provided some interesting info about the game as well as the powers that the GM actually has. After such a hard fought battle its nice to see the clan enjoy some downtime while also evolve their clan in the real as well. The visit by the insurance guy to Suzune though sure was sad. Though hard to stomach at least Rein ensured that the florists death was not in vain. Overall a strong ep that managed to end the hunt on a high note and catapulting Kaname and his clan into the spotlight. looks like Kaname's determined to end the game with both his friends and his morals intact. His alliance with Danjo's i feel is his first step in this plan. |

| That bath scene... Dawg, Shuka is fine as fuck. I stan. It seems like the last episode came out just yesterday and now it's already another friday and another new DG episode. Time fucking flies the older you get, man. Great episode. Loved Rein and Suzune's interaction as well as the pig metaphor. Was nice to get a little calm before the ultimate storm of the last third of the series. Kaname is out recruiting members for the clan and physically preparing himself for what's to come as well. I like that. Looks like the eights our out looking for him and will acquire information by any means even outside of game players, damn. Hope his friend turns out ok. I still feel like Rein is hiding something from the rest of the group, but time will tell. 8 weeks in I am very pleased by this show and loving it a lot. Sad to see how slept on it is relative to other shows airing this season. Deserves more love. For me it's really fresh, fun and exciting with great fights, animation and unique characters/world. Then again, it's my first battle royale series so maybe I'm just not affected like others. See y'all next week, have a good weekend |

| oh shit Kaname is now ripped |
 |
| So Wang actually took the bait, I am shocked he fell for it.. Really curious to know what Kaname's request was from the Game Master. I do feel bad for the Florist's daughter, hospitalized herself and getting an insurance guy in your room telling of your father's passing... Rein was there for her though. In the end everyone got healed, even Ryuuji's arm got fixed up! Kaede is going to be a great help getting everyone fixed. Kaname is seeking an alliance! Kaname is changing, not going to rely only on intellect... He has been working hard to grow those muscles! |

Horn_dawg_2019 said: So, what exactly did Kaname asked for? Well it's not really that big of a deal but definitely useful. Ashhk said: The story is becoming more and more interesting I can't believe there are only 3 episodes left They are going to end it on a pretty good point. So I'd say if it sells well enough we can expect a next season. :D |
| what a coincidence that the treasure is right there... very close to where they are fighting |
    - ✼ - 👏 hyped for 2022 lockdown 👏 👏 all good things come in threes 👏 - - ✽ - - |
| I hope they bring back it with more episode in season 2 |

| Hmm, 8th Clan, involving the ordinary person, is it according to the rule? |

| For a money-lover like Wang and his Eighth clan, the tip-off will be nothing but riches and a big load of wealth to boot. Alas, as much as Ryuji wants to exact revenge his way, with Kaname cutting into the plan, he knows the travesty. Nevertheless, Kaname deduced a bluff upon Wang, and upon Ryuji's BS Sigil, all were nothing but a psychological game of lies to get to the endgame, which he won by hook or crook. The people behind D-Game, is what Kaname should've least expected, though his alignment of ending this farce is still in sight. The proposition of the GM subverting his expectations nonetheless, but not without conditions for its demise: to complete the game or assassinate the GM. What did he wish for the greatest reward...that's the question. Once the Treasure Hunt ends, Kaname goes missing to form a clan and alliance of his own whilst the others got their compensation in one form or another, with Hiiragi's daughter receiving her dad's death insurance in full being the shocker. And the Eighth is definitely out for revenge against him. Work those muscles being ripped and shred, that's Kaname for you, to the next level. |
 |
| Looks like Kaname has become more of a badass. Too bad we'll only get to see that new side of him for just a few more episodes. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Come on Wang, you said you always finished executions. |
| My God, Kaname transformation into a buff MC literally happened pretty fast. It reminded me of the time the dumb MC in Evil Or Live spent a week in solitary confinement and somehow came out acting all badass and strong. It just doesn't seem right. |

| I'm enjoying the anime so far. However, making the protagonist go through bodybuilding "training" for two months is meaningless. Bodybuilding skills are not transferable at all to survival skills, combat and the likes. If anything, they compromise mobility by overworking the joints, thus affecting their health in a negative way. We call it ego-building. Well, what do I expect? It's not like everyone has studied physical therapy and various training systems in-depth for several years. Especially not writers and game designers. On the other hand, boxing is very good for strengthening the body and certain parts who almost never get targeted from modern conventional strength training. But, no, keep doing curls: I'm sure you elbow joints will thank you for that overtime. |

| Of course they would bait us and not tell us his request. Well still an interesting episode. Kaname being jacked is kinda funny. |

It was said he has been training himself for two months tho... |
| So, a two months time skip, uh? Well, it seems Kaname has finally found his badass side after that so I won't question that narrative decision. Though being honest, I'm not quite sure how getting into body-building will help him develop physical endurance... I mean, Boxing or Kick Boxing training would have been a more plausible choice in that regard but well. |
| I honestly can't really wrap my head around what's good about this. It just seems like a dumb concept from the get-go for me. A magic phone app that gives you powers and forces you to kill people... Kinda sounds like one of those terrible horror movies like Unfriended but in anime and action format. It's just a dumb concept period. The MC is nothing particularly new or groundbreaking, there is a hundred and one like him in other anime. Cute girl that hangs off MC's john? CHECK. It's super bland and trope-heavy with no real unique execution. Also the art is not atrocious but definitely low-grade. |

Kind of implied he's been training with the martial artists based on the other teen male's lines about how he's improved a lot and might hold his own with some of the lower skilled martial artists at the dojo. Also you're mistaken if you think martial artists don't do any exercise whatsoever with the comment about how doing curls is something unique to aesthetic bodybuilding. |
| Kaname becoming more badass. With the way things are going I think they're going to finish the anime at that point |

It seems right for me since the MC at least wasn't a loser from the start unlike other MC who has no brain no muscles, he can only cry and got changed suddenly ! It was a 2 month time skip tho |

| I really like the story but his protagonism is so annoying. Also the fanservice is just unnecessary and awkward |
| not a bad episode at all when this show moves away from the edgy killing game aspect it's a lot better but man i wish it looked better but for real it's been a 2 month time skip and our MC has turned into a Chad lol unless they've moved up so much in the game that they aren't fighting as much or their clan is very strong it just seems like a long as time for this kind of show |
 |
| Hmmmm too much privilege for Kaname! He became OP immediately. How Kaname know the code? He meet Rein before Wang or what? Don't understand how he get the code. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Still edgy! that white haired guy looks like Arima! lolz! 3/5. |
 |
| Wang is really an idiot, he took the bait for no logic reason. Leaving aside that it make no sense that the treasure is right there, close to where they are fighting, we could see that the show "try" to do a badass Kaname in the most forced and convenient way possible. 2/5 |

| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Well, Good jobs Kaname. you get one wish. |
| There's just something really cool about mini time skip and MC transformation from a weak dude to a strong leader, loved that smirk on Kaname's face. |

| That bluff was pretty damn awesome. This is definitely the best moment so far in this anime. Ooh damn, Kaname got a call from the creator of the game. Man what the fuck? We get a nice conclusion to the treasure hunt then a fanservice bath scene is thrown at us directly afterwards. Why did I think that this anime was heading in a good direction for a moment? Looks like Kaname is gonna fight the leader of the Danjo Boxing Club. This is bound to be interesting. |
| Damn Kaname really got upgraded here; an official name for his sigil, becoming buff from his training which we didn't see and even a team base His bluff there against Wang was pretty cool, I wonder how he will now fare against Wang in an one-to-one fight |
