Fighting not just on cruise ship but on a sinking one too. Yikes.

LLEEN and her team fought hard again to survive. Also, Pito should be appreciated more in this anime for making it entertaining. She has lowkey leadership skills. LLEEN's rage moment had some cartoony humor.

This was so well done. As someone who loves the books, every scene was very satisfying. I can not wait for the next season when the teams team up if this season continues to be so great.

Damm CQC would be pretty lethal in such close confines. Quite the creative trap that Pito enacted with the elec sprinkler combo. Damm though wiping out the armoured team in that fashion was cruel. Pito just started early. The sword fight on the bridge really was brutal. But man what a twist to change the nature of this battle with in the end though. The irony of a betrayer infiltrating another team of betrayers though lol.

How did LLENN didn't knew that she was the betrayer member of the party ?
Like her phone clearly would have shown that she was the betrayer?

I hadn't been enjoying this season as much as the last one but this episode was really good. I laughed when Daveed called Pito a demon lord. That seemed like more of a compliment. The lightsaber battle was a bit cheesy if you ask me, but that weapon in general just seems out of place in a gun focused series imho. Not sure how this is going to be stretched out another 5 episodes but I'm looking forward to it either way and expect we are gonna see some more interesting twists to the plot.

@My_Brain_Tremble I agree it seems a bit odd that LLENN wouldn't have checked her phone....

Let's face it. This was just complete ass-pull writing right there. Last episode, pink team going braindead slow-mo panic mode (to follow up with a sad excuse of a joke this ep) and now they went with, like, the dumbest and most forced twist they could come up with (which could well turn into a double-twist because "haha, just kidding"). Ughhh, it's all getting so dumb and unfunny.

Yeah, that made absolutely no sense.

You could maybe argue that after Pito announced she was the betrayer, LLENN just didn't check her phone, but then they showed her looking at her phone in this very flashback.

And if their team didn't have a betrayer at all, the game devs shouldn't have sent a drone to pick someone up. Though I can believe that they wouldn't do anything to stop the wrong person boarding the drone.

At least they lampshaded that M should have just turned around.

M was able to get out of his predicament by the simple use of brute strength and a well-timed kick to see off his would-be killer. I'm simply glad that he didn't get killed off here.

Pitohui continued her ruthless streak by how she wiped out Ervin's teammate before killing Ervin in such an easy fashion. Her duel against Daveed was pretty cool, but the fact that she had two lightbeam swords was more than enough for her to win her fight against him.

LLENN being the true member of the betrayer team was something I didn't expect and thinking more on it, it does make me question how this wasn't picked on earlier. Either way, Eva arrived at the right time to help LLENN out.

This 3v2 battle is something I'm looking forward to the most for the next episode. Hopefully we'll also get the conclusion of SJ3 next time as well.

Turning around could have helped as well, though Llenn could have just ran around in a couple of seconds to save him.
The way Pito killed MMTM & TS was savage, definitely her.
We got a lightsaber battle, lost right hand as well a star wars special.
I guess Llenn never bothered checking her device once Pito said she was the betrayer.
I'm looking forward to her and Eva taking on the other 3.

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

That was plot twist, after plot twist, after plot twist.

I admit, I didn't expect that outcome, so now I am glad LLENN and BOSS are on the same team.

Now this is exciting!

Way to get me back on board with this ending.
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.

@My_Brain_Tremble Pito distracted her before she could see the message. She never checked it again after believing that Pito is the betrayer. Plus they were busy with other things to get back to it. It does not seem like the message was permanently open on her screen

This is Pitohui world and they're all just playing in it. Talk about who's the real betrayer and who's not. Pitohui had everyone fooled. No one wanted to be the betrayer and leave the team so when Pitohui jumped with joy for being named they all went along with it no questions asked. She has been riding this wave ever since that was announced in the squad jam. We never really know what's going on with Pitohui in these. Her maniacal nature makes her absolutely unpredictable. I never would've guessed she tricked them into thinking she was the betrayer. It makes more sense for Llenn to be the betrayer but damn I didn't think we'd get this far if Pitohui was tricking them the whole time. I had predicted that she would just kill that robot team once they made it to the building but I didn't think the cruise ship would be battered through the building. That was very intense and crazy. Her photon sword fight with David was cool to see. Some good star wars like action on the ships bridge. Pitohui is getting exhausted from lack of rest but shes still got some crazy moments up her sleeve. The Amazon leader Eva coming to rescue Llenn was awesome, we thought they'd be fighting each other but instead they're teaming up!

It's still a fun watch and Pito's antics for sure make up the bulk of the entertainment but this one was a little too predictable due to the cues. It was obvious what Pito was up to when MMTM guy said the sprinkler water was salty. It was also obvious she was in Elvin's armor because the DEAD tag wasn't there when David returned to the bridge. I mean maybe that's what they wanted but this whole episode seemed predicated upon "twists" that weren't exactly surprising.

Speaking of twists, the one at the end was neat but I can't forgive how lazy it was in its execution. As others have said, LLENN would have gotten the notice on her terminal. Maybe Pito's gaslighting and misdirection would have worked in the moment but you're trying to convince the audience that LLENN never checked her terminal even one time after the Betrayers team was created? Yeah okay.

This was cute though.

@chuajohn05 ill check when i get off from work, but i think she did. They showed llenn looking super upset when it was announced and not talking but i agree this episode did make her look like she didnt know till the end. But its been awhile and ive gone through hundreds of books since.

Honestly? The best episode so far.
So much happened in it, so many twists.
I have to say that Squad Jams understand what make video-games fun, a certain level of "natural chaos" similar to gimmicky invaders in Dark Souls.
People don't want boring arena e-sports matches where an entire team poses with an emotionless face wearing the same shirt... people crave for a video-game equivalent of the WWE, and that was it.

You figure there would be a way for LLEN to check to see who her teammates were at any time. If not Pito could still be the betrayer and just confused everyone. Just because Pito kills her teammates doesn't mean it can't be done. The machine gun guys turned on each other and killed themselves.

You know a show is becoming desperate when it starts throwing stupid plot twists at the wall every five minutes in the hope of shocking the audience. And that's the only way to describe this plot twist with LLENN, which just makes no sense however you try and slice it as there's no way she wouldn't have noticed herself being the true Betrayer. It's just yet more bad, contrived writing from this bad second season of GGO.

Lol they were panicking so they couldn't think of a solution.

Dayum Pitohui betraying da betrayers lmao. Thought something was up with her when she said she was tired. Lol, how she acted after that lightsaber fight reminds me how super quirky she is. Her tiredness has to be some bad omen though. No way Pitohui is really playing mind games, she's not a betrayer?? Plot twist be twisting.

Never ending plan to watch list...

I also love how everyone acts so dramatic when other people die like "I can't believe you did that, I'M NEVER FORGIVING YOU" like, dude, they are alive, they are in the lobby watching the rest of the match haha. I know it's on purpose to add seriousness to the combats but I can't help but laugh at it. I like it. I like GGO :)

@Atavistic Naw, it was kinda foreshadowed when she met the rest of betrayers and was surprised she could make a group with them. Remember?
But yeah, it's stupid Llenn didn't check she was THE betrayer but I'll let that slide since this is a game in which everyone acts as if the other people actually DIE and need to be avenged haha

Wow, what a plot twist! I did not see that coming. Pitohui is fucking insane. I love her! She sure turned the tables on this part of the game. Boss coming in at the last moment to save the day and maybe fight LLENN if the game allows it. Yet, the question remains. Why did the game allow it?!?! How the turns have tabled! We shall see who wins after our thrilling finale. Tune in to the next episode to see who will be the final woman standing. 😬🤣

Yeah, that was idiotic. All he had to do was turn around or lean forward, and problem solved. I guess getting strangled makes you stupid, although some people get off on that shit. Also, LLENN could've done a wall walk and gotten behind M easily instead of uselessly standing around calling his name. That was the only scene where I was upset at the idiocy. Oh well, they can’t all be winners. We take what we can get. 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

Finally some action. Llenn being the betrayer was fun, expected but fun. Also this makes this game such a free-for-all. You can bluff your way into anyone's team then vaporize them.

It is stupid from a game design standpoint but it is definitely the kind of thing to get dedicated fans for be ballsy enough to allow anything to happen.

The episode just started, is the pre-opening scene, and I'm already laughing like crazy thanks to my girl Fuka, I'm in heaven ❤️

Top 10 weirdest anime plot twist ever lol, how the fuck did LLENN not realize she was the actual betrayer lmao, like, her terminal had to say it... I guess she was too focused on being mad at Fuka like always, this girl has serious anger problems.

I'm glad M didn't die so soon, and that the robot team got killed, if they had won by doing nothing again it would've been so fkng trash.
And I love how stupidly evil Pito is sometimes, for no real reason lol
