| More bodies dropping dead. This season turned out to be more violent than I had expected. Those long range weapons are getting the work done. Episode focused more on tactics from LLEN's party. Nothing too different from the usual episodes but looks like everyone is very tense and careful in this fight. |

| Between them and Shirley and Clarence's ambush the amount of teams that got wiped sure were high. When it comes to being bold can't beat the amazons i guess. EG team sure provided top class entertainment. MMTM's display showed well why they're one of the best teams in the game. Decoy and ghillie suits were a potent combo. The AJMGL's mobile trolly strat was a genuius move on their part. The traitor rule sure added a new dimension to this competition for sure. |

| pity being the traitor was a tad predictable but nonetheless a fun shake-up |
| I really like that they gave screentime to the other important teams and showed us what they were doing. I like how they all how unique plans and are different from each other, but are just as efficient. I am really interested for the next episode now that a team or traitors is being formed, that was a really cool surprising rule. |

| Seeing how the other strong teams were performing was pretty nice. The Machine Gun guys always makes me smile with their gung-ho style and their plan using shopping trolleys to plonk their guns on while having some form of armour was fun to watch. =) In this later stage into the game, we now know about the special rule, where one member of every team becomes a traitor and gets formed into a new large team, which seems to be located in the unknown zone. I was thinking LLENN would be chosen, but it was Pito instead. A somewhat predictable choice, but it'll still make for a fun and interesting end game of SJ3. Overall, this was a pretty good episode. |

| I expected the new rule to be traitor or free for all. But I expected the traitor not being outright revealed for, ehm, reasons. Not that Pito would've hid it anyway. She'd probably snipe M and start taunting LLENN knowing her lol.. Anyway, I am now expecting Pito to betray the traitor team and go solo. Let's see if I'm right... |
| bruh |
lol, I don’t know why, but this scene really gets me. That place looks so super peaceful 😂  |
| Hahaha, that's quite hilarious to see one of them betraying and make a new team to fight their former teammates. |

on AonSpeed said: @endless_Story_ Because it's that teams specialty, they take pride in using laser guns/ optical weapons. It wasn't outright mentioned in the episode but rapid fire from optical weapons like that does slowly chip away and damage the health of the player they are shooting, although it is drastically minimal compared to other types of gun power. It's similar to how the All Machine Gun Team take pride in only using machine guns. Admirable but not all too smart. Not too smart is putting it lightly. I can admire the machine gun team, but the laser gun just seems silly. I can't imagine any scenario where they actually win against guns. |

| @kitoha Kind of feel sorry for them, but I wonder if they'll win again due to being forgotten once more? Normally in battle royale games being caught outside the play area kicks you from the game. The game makers made an odd choice here |
| Okay, that's a really imbalanced special rule if you have teams with different sizes. With only 4 people our main team is pretty screwed now, losing 25% of their people. |
Moppit said: I am kinda curious. Since they showed those people on the roof and said, "They never fire a shot." The rest of the season is going be everyone else kill each other. Karen and Pito have their show down, and they both end up killing each other. The team that never fires a shot wins by default. If so, I kind of think that's going to be a bad way to end the season. At least for me, it is. I was thinking that as well. Like watch them win by just staying alive out of zone. |
Moppit said: @endless_Story_ That what I thought when they paid a little too much attention to them. Basically, saying this is important later, and you can't complain about the ending later since we told you about them and you will forget they exist before episode 12. I'm definitely complaining if they end it like that. |

| @endless_Story_ That would be pretty lame. On the other hand I don't see how else this is going to end. I mean they are stuck there and are untouchable, water can't get them and other teams can't get them either. |

I'm not completely certain, but I do believe that the water is still rising, so that could take them out. I would accept any other team winning, but winning just because you stayed alive out of zone is so dumb. |
| SHINC's side was the best this season has offered by far. That's how you engage and not the snooze camperfest inside a container for 3 episodes the suppossedly strongest mc played out. The special rule sure was convenient to give the rematch between pito and llen, despite it suppossedly being a closed thing after they met irl. Nevertheless, is a good rule to spice things, it just lost impact due to llen being unable to shut her mouth while the announce was being made, totally unnecessary for padding. |

That's what I basically said earlier. I'm pretty sure this is a tournament style with a prize at the end. So the rules should remain constant to make it fair for everyone. If it was just an event, it wouldn't matter as much.
| @Moppit Each traitor will have a winning condition, so depending on that and given that they seem to be picked by hand for "balance purposes" (anyone that plays pvp games won't believe that''ll be fair) it may be so traitors from smaller teams have an easier clearing condition that big teams, and the traitor winning condition will give the win to their previous team.

At least for me, it is. That's exactly S1's ending, down to the very same team. Imagine ending two consecutive arcs like that. RJ subversion of expectations level right there. endless_Story_ said: I'm not completely certain, but I do believe that the water is still rising, so that could take them out. I would accept any other team winning, but winning just because you stayed alive out of zone is so dumb. That's exactly how BR are usually played out. A camper/camper team with 0 kills reach the final showdown because they didn't engage with the game and by sheer luck the area shrunk into their ambush zone, the other teams are not in top condition after fighting a lot and suddenly the top fragger of the match loses against a guy with 0 kills. |

| @CorbanEsp I've played BRs where the winner was chilling out of zone. I still think it would be a dumb way to end it. |
| We finally get to have LLENN & Pito fighting on the same team against SHINC, plus the other teams, which is what was supposed to happen due to the promise between Karen and the girls from last season. Heck that is the entire reason Pitohui was able to convince LLENN to even join the tournament. But no... they had to make a "special rule" to force a rematch of LLENN vs Pito in this 4th episode, which just ignores the entire reason she joined the new tournament and everything they set in the story from last season. What a lame way to force people to watch a rematch and to ruin your own story. I am annoyed at this choice and will be extra critical of everything from here on out. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| They didn't have to make the traitor so obvious. |
| In most other stories, the idea of using shopping carts would be laughable, possibly even poor writing. But here, with these idiot dudebros and their machine guns? It just works so damn well, I love it! Kinda wonder how things are gonna go with T-S now. Obviously their one member will get picked up and taken off the building, but does that mean the rest are just stuck there for the rest of the game? Hell, at least do something like a carpet bombing of all areas outside the island, to punish them for their stupid move. Most battle royales end up doing that, and it's clear that the ocean wasn't good enough of a deterrent. |
 |
| Hell yeah, SHINC is awesome. The new rule is stupid af tho lmao  LLENN expressions are always peak 🤣 |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| That one stupid team that used the useless Laser weapon, it's hilarious lol Don't tell me those TS team gonna stay on the high tower roof and be the last man standing. Not again bruhh The special rule makes it more interesting for sure. Hahaha the Traitor from their team was Pitohui LMAO |
 |
| What is this, Star Wars? Laser guns? Those look just stupid in a gun like fights they are having. That one shot was cool though, through the shoulder and towards the throat and through of that female behind him. Damn, brutal. But feels a bit cringe with this chick team acting all boss like bad asses in my opinion. But the same feeling for these "lesser" noob teams they are wiping out. Why is the last one of a team always panicking and trying to run away crying? It's a game bro... Cringe as f*ck. |
