| Tenji's revenge all hinges on Yuichi's plans failing in order to secure scarring Shiho's life, man...what scum of the earth. Shibe, regardless of his family's status, surely isn't the type to kill, but the only way to prove the bad-mouthing lie is to have evidence of it...or just trust in the "gods" audience as proof, which fails in the grand scheme of things. Yuichi's façade parade as always been at the forefront of speculation...that is until now, where the audience aren't really the goal of expose for entertainment, but to get all 5 people to safety. The problem is: this solution is realized way too late, but that does not mean that they can still make amends to put themselves in near-perfect order to not sus out the traitor and avoid more confrontations (not to mention increasing debt). Yuichi's strategy definitely has a big loophole, not just when the traitor Tenji decides to defect from it, but that the rules has been placed from the get-go explicitly mentioning this. The friendship is in shambles as the periods went on just like Tenji planned, but it's not over as Yuichi isn't the stupid simpleton that those watching behind the CCTVs noticed. Shiho is bound for the end, but Yuichi can still sus out the traitor within the others, and this proves the ultimatum, taking out the game's mechanics and solely relying on their own friendship values. That's quite smart IMO, and Tenji certainly freaked out in this ordeal...because Yuichi TRULY GOT HIM. WOW, holy mackerel, WOW. Tenji outsmarted Yuichi into thinking that he got them, but Yuichi certainly WILL NOT LET THIS PASS. The 3 traps that makes Yuichi Katagiri unique, this will truly define an insane person like him. |

| Psychological + shounen is not a good combination tbh sawaragi is hella stupid, why does she need to be around tenji? |

| This episode was really good! |
| God damn, I really enjoyed this episode. |

| this was an insane episode |

| I'll give the series props for this - I didn't expect Tenji as the traitor to be revealed so soon. Yuuichi's manipulation of the action was operating behind the scenes all along, and even without knowing precisely what they might have been, I do think one of them was the fact that Tenji accused Shibe of writing the first lie. Shibe, at least as far as we've seen, is the most well-intentioned of the group (even if he's not the most-polite or tactful), so the idea that he would be the first to write on the cards is odd. Since Tenji baited him and called him an idiot, it cast an unflattering light on Tenji early on, which Yuuichi evidently noticed. The fact that no one else wrote on the cards in the final round indicates that Yuuichi must have communicated to them at some point what was happening (perhaps when Tenji went into the booth first in the last round), or that they all reached a similar conclusion at some point. Another suspicion might have happened in the middle of the episode, this time pertaining to the rules of the game. Yuuichi even announced after his first version of the plan that it was not perfect, which makes the fact that Tenji was so quick to shoot it down and subsequently sabotage it all the more blatant. Coupled with his increasing desire to be close with Shiho and "no longer listen" to Yuuichi, he was making himself more closed off than someone who actually wanted to retain the friendships would be. When Yuuichi's final plan is unveiled, Tenji once again tipped his hand by trying to somehow talk himself out of it. He panicked because Yuuichi applied his plan not only to the structure of the game, but also the entire metagame by getting the management involved. As a result, Tenji was effectively doomed no matter what he did. |

| LETS GOOO, we smoking that tenji pack. Finally that bum gets exposed. Yuichi went full anime genius there at the end. Really fun episode. Last few weeks had been making me pretty angry with how Tenji was just getting his way with everything and everyone, especially coming between the two girls friendship. |

| which chapters did this episode adapt? |
| y'all should watch haibane renmei |
Marinate1016 said: JSK_weeb said: well death note exists.... Anyway, this episode was crazy, in a positive sorta way. Yuichi got the brains xD. Looking forward to the next episode, or i might as well read the manga lol Death note is seinen but the original post is stupid anyway because how can a demographic not go with a genre lol. Yeah but Death Note is really shounen |
quiuzus said: which chapters did this episode adapt? I think it ended in chapter 9 Next episode starts with chapter 10 |
Marinate1016 said: How is it “really” shonen, that literally makes no sense. Those are just demographics and it’s a seinen. It’s published in a seinen magazine. Full stop. If it is wrong I am sorry but myanimelist says it is shounen and the manga is published in Shounen Jump (Weekly) |
| This was a pretty good episode, worth the build up in the previous two. According to the rules tho, wouldn't Shiho just lose alone now? Tenji didn't lie about being the traitor so next step would be the survey and everyone moves at least one square. Then again I guess they might just throw Tenji down there at this point lmao. |

| Tenji has to be one of the most pathetic characters I've ever seen in any show I've ever watched. Seeing Yuichi outwit him and expose him as the low-life traitor he is was very satisfying to see. I think this episode was a step down from the great episode last week, it was VERY dialogue heavy and a lot of it wasn't completely necessary but still a pretty good episode. Looking forward to seeing how things play out now that the traitor has been exposed. |
| Now that's how you play your master card, was too satisfying watching Tenji weeping out so pathetically in front of everyone. Some 1000 lvl strategy from Yuuichi though, curious on how he did all of that from starting. |

| Can't wait to see a certain scene got animated in next episode |

sasaasasasa said: im so confused man 1- why is no one other than yuichi suspect tenji as a traitor when it was so obvious from ep 2 that he was sus since all he did was saying somewhat horrible things to others. 2- are they in first year or what because Their friendships are lowkey fake considering how they reacted to some of the secrets, while i understand they are shocked but why is no one trying to smooth the situation or anything, it seems like some of them dont care lol. thats not how friends work btw 3- why is Tenji trying to ruin the friendships? yes, his main focus is on sawaragi but u couldve done it without participating tomodachi game. How dumb can u be? theres plenty of ways u could humiliate her but nooo u had to ruin others as well lol 4- why are the explanation makes me more confusing? honestly those 2 girls are annoying since all they do is just giving us expositions. 5- Why ppl saying yuichi is genius or whatever, i literally cant see it. On a real, im not dissing the show or anything, im really confused and it will be amazing if someone help me understand this ep. 1. They can suspect him but with no clear evidence that all they can do. The reason why everyone went along with MC near the end is because at that point it's clear Tenji is 'the one' and not everyone else. 4. So, that you know which details you should focus on to see the' hints' 5. The reveal of his '3 traps' will be your answer, and it will also explain what your doubt in your first question. |

On a real, im not dissing the show or anything, im really confused and it will be amazing if someone help me understand this ep. 1. Shibe is dumb. Yutori is a wuss. Sawaragi trusts her friends a lot. Tenji just took advantage of this. Yuuichi was shown to be a silent guy in the beginning. So we can say that he tends to avoid trouble, hence Tenji can't find his weakness. 2. Just refer point 1. They are in first year i guess because nobody knows much about each other. Heck If I were to play this game with my best friend whom I have known for more than 10 years, I'll just spill all his secrets out and I am pretty sure the bastard would do the same to me. 3. Because Sawaragi's dad is a cop. He'll get into trouble if he messed with her. So his strategy was simple. Get 5 people into Tomodachi game including Sawaragi, Try to make it look like there is an anonymous traitor, and put all the debt on her head. He tried to ruin their friendship to make it look like the traitor is trying to spark an infighting. 4. Well, I dont have anything to comment on that. I think it's just your personal opinion. 5. this picture below is a hint. It has one of the "3 traps" that Yuuichi laid to catch Tenji's treachery.  |
Yuuichi was menacing Tenji can suck it this is so good  |
 |
| Great episode! Wow. Just when Tenji thought he would win... Yuichi's plan came victorious and exposed the truth!!!!! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| It's hard to engage with this show since there was no character building before we jumped into the game and so far nothing has made me feel any tension or excitement since I don't care about any of these characters, which is made worse when we're stuck in Tenji's perspective. I guess some might grow on me as we watch their struggles but so far this feels like a better thing to read than watch cause the pacing on this without feeling engage makes me want to fall asleep. That said I'm interested in the end of this game next episode and to see how things play out. |
| lol i love how surprised tenji is, as if he wasn't being overtly antagonistic and suspicious. once again sick of the two overseers who only exist to explain obvious things and ride the mc's dick |

That said I'm interested in the end of this game next episode and to see how things play out. very true. they really just gave each of the main characters an exposition card and didn't bother characterizing them or their relationships in any meaningful way, and then expected the audience to gaf. even if it gets good later in the manga which I seriously doubt, as a story about the strength of friendship (or lack thereof), it majorly handicapped itself by failing to establish the whole damn friend group outside of the game. |

| This shit is handmade for young teens, anybody with a modicum of intelligence would find this fucking dumb. At least that gaslighting, cringe inducing clown, finally got what was coming to him. The only thing I find entertaining about this crap are the edgy psychopathic menacing looks from the characters every now and then, a good laugh... |
| I genuinely thought Tenji was going to bullshit his way out of that one lol. I didn't expect the rest of them to leave their cards blank - though that may be due to my lack of attention. |
