Damn, new rules with a traitor twist added in. Looks like this new addition adds a bit of psychological element to the whole competition itself.

It's a big chance since it directly impacts how the competitors will have to deal with traitors on each team. Not going to lie, I like change in pace with this. It's about time they made the game more unpredictable.

Lmao, more than anybody in this show the shopping cart dudes are by far my favorites lmao. Everybody grieving because they're being separated and those dues are bickering about how they should trade and how they're envious of the dude who got picked xD

But yeah, when this season was first announced, I remember LN readers hyping up this yacht arc, and it is shaping up to be pretty hype, so I'm in.

Showing the true selfs of the amazons during the announcement of the betrayers was a nice touch. Team betrayer though sure had some formidable players. Having a Cruise ship as the final arena was a great idea. Sealing the entrances was sound strategy. Now can't wait to see how the teams would board the ship now.

This was mainly a set-up episode, but it was still an intriguing one at that.

Not only do we get to see the Betrayers team assemble, but the unknown zone gets revealed, which turns out to be a damaged ocean liner. Considering that the rest of the island is getting flooded, having the final zone being on a ship this big makes sense, although with the damage that it has already, I doubt it will be afloat for long.

Still, seeing Pito and her team using all of the lifeboats to block off the holes in the ship has left the other teams panicking. It'll be interesting to see who'll succeed in getting onto the ship and who'll get killed off in the next episode.

The LMG guys are by far the best team, no contest.
Each chapter LLEN is regressing more and more from where she ended in S1.


SHINC being displayed as their real life counterparts was rare, considering no other team got that treatment. I guess they got stats about not enough JKs in the season.

I like this new rule, it has made things really interesting.
SHINC & MM got over it eventually.
I like how the machine gun team all wanted to be the betrayer.
Betrayers have one in their own with Cole.
That was a good plan Pito came up with, then have to find another win onto the ship or possible blow up more holes in the ship themselves if there is enough space.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

The betrayer team has been assembled! A lot of this episode has shifting focuses as each different team learning how their betrayer is. A few of the other teams leaders being the betrayer is interesting. Some fun moments with each team as their reactions vary. From considering cheating to just quitting right away, there's nice variety in how the teams take this news. After they're assembled we see where the final stage of this squad jam will take place. A massive cruise ship is a great place for dozens of gun battles honestly, the different style of places on this ship offer a lot. Lots of close quarters of course but also some open areas too. Pitohui is very excited about this of course, relishing the chance to not only fight Llenn again but also just go wild. Each team ascending on the cruise ship. Waiting for someone else to make a move. Its funny how their indecision has cost them an easier way in. Very smart idea blocking off the hole entranced at the bottom of the ship with the life boats. I'm excited to see all these teams rush to get on the ship somehow now as the tide rises behind them.

Final location be like



Was a pretty hype episode for mere build up again. New team, new location, new strategies, I like that kinda stuff. Pitohui's enthusiasm was the best, lol.

Oooh we're playing Hijacked now and already Pito's up to her usual shenanigans. The run-up to the ship is going to be so chaotic.

BTRY is formed!
Pitohui really quick at making "right" decision by blocking holes at the ship to prevent others "boarding" the cruise.

EP 5

Last time haha deploy
Soo uhh its kinda weird. i mean battle royales just turn out weird once its not a 1v1 situation

I mean len team is already pretty small. what if only one or two persons? hmm
I mean in theory if they really wanted to they could resign? i dont recall there being any sort of like prize or something, they're just playing for fun right?
Thats actually a good question are they allowed to just play on normally? hmm

Also this does reduce the size of teh other teams hmmm
I mean the water level assuming it continues
I mean its vr so they can do basically anything
I mean why would you shoot yourself when you can resign

Was s1 as slow as this? i dunno. i think its because s1 we had like


So yeah thats the ep

I'll be honest uh there's a bit too much talking this ep for my taste. Considering the scale I'm assuming most if not all of it will be wrapped up in ep 7? Possibly they might drag it a bit
I dont see how they can wrap up the whole thing in ep 6, there's still way too many people to off in one episode? EP 7 seems more likely, hmm.
Then the remaining eps I dunno

Not that much happened in this episode, but the betrayer team for certain seems the most likely to win right now... unless you count the other untouchable dudes with helmets.

Idk, this season has been nothing but silly fights disguised as clever, I liked the first season because it had out of the game moments to refresh things up, it also doesn't help that we are not getting to see much of the MC which to me felt like the whole point of the series.
I might drop it.

Well, now that I only have time to watch anime during night-time due to how busy my work schedule has become nowadays, I’ve been appreciating anime more lately as a result, haha!
