It's ALMOST the end of the 1st game that is Kokkuri-san...and Yuichi's interruption scares the group of friends apart somemore.

Yuichi intercepted the fact that everyone will pin the debt on Yutori Kokorogi (though it's obvious that this is a lie of façade emotion manipulation), though this is to warn everyone to be on the same page to equalize and lessen their debt together while finding the true suspect. The perpetrators also have a job to play, and that's to erase what's already revealed.

For Shiho Sawatori to come out and say thar she genuinely liked Yuichi and thought that he was the suspect for stealing the 2 mil class funds, one part I believe, the other I don't, though her reveal that she incurred almost twice the debt is an eye-opener.

Manabu-kun turns into Manabu-sensei for the 2nd game: Bad-Mouth Sugoroku. It's literally roasting someone while the "gods" and audience decide their goal. It's like The Game of Life, but played in reverse while the rewards and debts vary between choices, that betrayal only stands in the face of the 5 friends, save for the incurring debt.

Expose someone and you'll win the game whilst destroying the friendship at the same time. And I'm not surprised that romance is the first topic to tackle, revealing the inner depths of the guys with Shibe being the 3rd party between Mikasa and Yuichi, and even Yutori is jealous of Shiho's attention. Truth or lie, only the 5 of them knows.

The submissions thereafter can sound nonsensical since it's just fabricated lies, but I can imagine that Yutori's bad-mouthing scathing remark can sound worse given the abrupt cliffhanger.

Pacing's much better than the premiere episode, though I still have my qualms.

So this second chapter was intense, i dont really believe Sawatori with her "i double my debt" the ED was nice, the second game is really a great concept and it was obvious it will start with the love part.

After all great episode for me being an anime only, and looking forward for next week

Damn, the OP might be the best this season, and the ED was quit good too.

Second game was a little confusing too digest considering that it's premised upon a game I've never heard of, but it seems pretty cool now that we've seen a few turns at it. I'm SURE they can all be friends after this :)

Everyone besides the MC seems super sus at this point xD. It might be too obvious though for it to JUST be glasses-kun considering they literally show him being a devious SoaB.

edit: We might need a "Who's Sus" forum for every episode tbh.

Looking back at the scene of after Sawaragi punched Shibe in the first episode, it's obvious that she really was in love with Yuuichi. Why did I thought it was a extremely tsundere moment for her lol

I want to dig this Game of Life-esque round 2 but the unfairness of it is so high that it's not even funny anymore. Tenji's trying to reverse psyche everyone but it's obvious he's the instigator of the chaos this time around

As a manga reader, I couldn't agree more. This episode 2 is just good I should say. Also, the VA of Yuuichi really did great on Yuuichi's reaction after hearing Shiho's confession, and it's even better! LOL!

Same I got serious doubt for this. She can just act like that to get Yuichi on her side

ohhh god. here it is. the main starting point of them slowly breaking apart. and its all because of love god damnit

and yeah kokorogi prob likes yuuichi? or is pretty damn attached to him at least. enough to be anxious of him liking a girl, maybe she thinks that he(her closest friend) will leave her bc of that

ed was really nice. and bc of it im confident to say that i think shiho Did get plastic surgery. but rather than for her face or physical aesthetics, it was for health reasons. and i was right(?) shibe's got a pretty complicated situation with his family, and he seems pretty close with his mom. i feel like there's gonna be a part where someone makes fun of/mocks his mom and that's where he'll completely break

kokorogi screaming at the end wtfff😭😭

I get that anime generally require a level of Suspension of disbelief
but kids aren't liable to debt. How could any of them be in any real legal debt.

Of course, this game is being run by a shady organization that doesnt mind using violence. So they can always physically threaten you or worse.... but you definitely dont have to pay back a dime of this "debt." And that's aside from them illegally pushing this debt onto you

??? That was such a weird cliffhanger, they should've at least added the one line to explain why Yutori was crying. Felt so random and forced lol.
Anyways, still a mediocre adaptation but at least they're not straying from the source material. This game is already looking pretty intense; all this drama is exactly why I love watching these kinds of game shows, no matter how tacky they are lol. Looking forward to next week's episode!

Their friendship is beginning is crack. This is getting intense.

What was that mess of a confession. Was it a love square or love rectangle?

Also, I haven't seen Kokorogi much. Poor girl, everyone leaving her out.

Why always end with a cliffhanger, and one with someone screaming. I can already say I will like this anime, because this type of story comes with lies and surprises, which makes it interesting to watch.

This whole anime is so god damn bad, the premise is just Kaiji but worse and just outright stupid. Someone stole class funds so now everyone has debt? Where's the contract? Where's my signature? How does this make kidnapping valid and legal?

I'm giving this a chance to ep3 but so far this has been retarded.

My immersion went out the window the moment Yuichi was allowed to stay behind, stood there for half an hour with ANOTHER character (the pretty girl) and THEN ANOTHER CHARACTER (glasses guy) is seen eavesdropping. Which means that the Doll was cool with only bringing the shy girl and the blond guy to the next game and neither of these two were bothered by their friends not being around.

I don't find any of the characters interesting yet so I'm having a hard time caring about the drama going on.

Great episode! This episode had a game consisting of bad mouthing people and it really split the group apart when it was revealed to everyone that Shiho liked Yuuichi and that she also used to 'go out with' Tenji. He also revealed he still loved her...

Looking forward to the next episode!

This is a Mystery anime and boiii your questions are SOOO RELEVEANT to the story! I encourage you to stick to this one. Your questions will be addressed later and everything will makes sense.

I have a doubt. Sawaragi says that her current debt is 7,600,000 but if I recall her turn to made the question was after her debt increased to 8,000,000 so she should be at 4,000,000 after her turn and now be at 3,600,000 like everyone.

4,000,000 + 4,000,000 (cause she tried to speak) = 8,000,000 then she ask her question so her debt is the half 4,000,000 and the they won the game -400,000 so now she is at 3,600,000 like everyone.

Is she lying?

Pile of crap. Random torture of bunch of innocent people for no reason whatsoever.

Game rules are not clear and can be changed any moment. There is no winning strategy because there is no internal logic or even a pretense of fairness in the game. It is obviously rigged from start to finish.

In this episode loss/gain on game squares are not revealed in advance. Places are semi-randomly defined by some "observers". There is nothing to plan and no way to meaningfully control the flow of the game. It is absurdly unfair and players don't really play, they are just punchbags. Any additional amount of debt can be assigned to any of them at any moment. They should quickly run it to the finish ignoring ridiculous "debt" and then let the legal system deal with game organizers.

Figuring out who is "the traitor" is pointless. Betrayal implies that some player deviates from winning strategy that is good for everyone to gain something for himself. But with these rules it is impossible, there is no winning strategy. These people are not much of a friends to begin with and we know next to nothing about them. New "shocking" details can be revealed any moment for fake drama and completely throw off any attempt of analysis.

"Themes: High Stakes Game, Psychological, Strategy Game" - nope, nothing of these. Just a pile of random crap. I don't know why this thing exists.
