One of the more insane games...not because of the nature of the card game itself, but because the opponent is a God. They have cheat abilities so yeah, technically, it's a match against a cheater.

But hey, Fay's team didn't back down. Even their newest member Nel has a presence here. I just find it almost amusing what they have to face in this series but I suppose they wanted to ramp up the difficulty.

Let the next game begin.

Gremoire, a shape-shifting god who takes the form of the person she's competing against, challenged Fey and the others with the "Three Cheats that God Brings." The contest was to uncover the same cheating trick used in coin flipping, poker, and Old Maid. However, the opponent is a god who can do anything. What kind of cheating are they using? After finishing the game of Old Maid, Fey suggested playing another round and said that in the next game, he would break her unbeatable streak.

These games never fail to disappoint me.

I thought that Fay was supposed to beat the goddess to erase a Nel loss (don't remember if it was supposed to be all her losses) but he ended up getting swept until they played an extra game of Old Maid where he did finally win. The win condition ended up being that Fay had to explain the goddess' cheat which he did finally figure out although he also sacrificed some of his wins.

@futuretechfreak It's the current anime culture, watch 1 or 2 episodes and rate it as is, if there's no pretty lights then it's trash.


In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit?
Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase.

Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality.

This is a pretty interesting episode. Finally, this anime decide to use Arise ability properly as plot in this episode, considering how little impact they had in previous episodes. Also, the next game seems to be an RPG kind. Since the anime finally utilize Arise abilities, I assume we will be able to see Fay use his revival ability in the next game?

So I guess the next game is a souls-borne or a rogue-like game? Well a lot of JRPGs are almost rogue-like in nature after all.
I wonder what Nel has in her bag.

Short and quick. Fey is a god, the guy knows everything about games, he can beat the god with ease and charisma which for a protagonist is very cool, according to the games they are very cool and fun but the best so far has been the card game, and back to Fey, if he wants, he makes a Haren of goddesses lol, Leoleshea, Grimoire and Oroborus, the guy managed to accidentally make three gods fall in love with him, the guy is the god himself.

Grimoires cheat being the powers of your friends is a good twist. Getting forcibly summoned into an unfair game like I wanna be the guy or Cat Mario is wild. But getting stuck there for two whole days? I wonder if this god behind this has a bone to pick.

@Groman since it was such a simple game at what point did you figured out that the god cheat is actually an outside help and not some trick she using?

Fay has good observation, good IQ & understanding of his members & also their abilities, which help him defeat the bookwalker & without any break he challenges another god.

The game in this episode was arguably the most enjoyable one. Mainly because did not have Faye pull a deus ex machina by using information that the audience wasn't privy to.

Whether or not the series can sustain this aspect for the final 3 episodes remains to be seen.

@Alpha-Nine Honestly other than the tag game, all of the solutions that Fay has found has made sense to me and I've managed to guess about 75% of the solutions myself before the reveal. This one, I realized immediately when Lesha laughed. Honestly surprised when Leshsa signed herself up for dealing the cards that Fay didn't realize considering she flexed her ability to memorize card positions when they first met.

Of course, they could/should have simplified it more for wider appeal but personally, I enjoy having to think through the different things that have happened throughout the game and comparing my results even when I am wrong.

Granted I do a lot of game nights IRL where a lot of the times I don't know the rules until the game is starting since people can bring whatever games they own for the group to try. That said, this show and it's logic is probably way more relatable to me than like 96% of people watching it

This 'found the cheat' game still looking ridiculous as usual for the sake of Fay looking cool and being a smart-ass guy. Since Grimoire herself showed to lower her guard down by letting Fay repeat their last old maid game, unable to realize Fay's doing to checking out his guess, and then, he winning. Idk how on earth you don't call it 'deus ex machina'. While i am certainly think the plot kinda nice by itself, but still, the execution is 'not my taste'....

Next!

So, Uroboros lookin pretty mad there, must be tired searching Fay in-between God's realm all those time. Now a certain God invite 209 poor Apostle into an unbelievable dungeon exploration game with no-time to quit. Fay need to forget his mind to win the game, instead, just enjoy laying down there with all the girls in those peaceful landscape. The unknown God must be setting up something like that.

Right?

@futuretechfreak Personally, I watched six episodes and lost all interest. I started watching episode 7, but then realised just wasn't enjoying it.
I've come into the forum out of curiosity to see what's being said to see if there's anything that might entice me to try again, but nope.
5/10 for me. The show just doesn't interest me at this point. The reason I'm saying any of this? Just to remind you that it's okay for people not to like what you like. I'm not trying to take away from your enjoyment, just express that it won't suit everybody.

Gremoire's Casino of the Gods, along with her Three Cheats game, this is double the psychology, although she still keeps it fair and square. It's up to Fay to decipher Gremoire's Cheat of Certain Victory.

Game 1: Coin Flip, and though is a 1-in-2 odds, Fay lost to luck. Onwards to the next game of Poker, Gremoire continues her cheat, but it isn't obvious, so Old Maid will be the deciding game. And as hard as it is, Fay wants another round of Old Maid, just to make sure that he got all of the details right...where the secret is the girls being accomplices to the Cheat using their Arise powers, and Fay wanting to level his team together with the win against Gremoire for a comeback.

But as soon as they come back, a game where players are forced into the Labyrinth of No Return where escape only comes by finishing the game, this god is rather finicky, but nothing Fay could not decipher and win against the god, in either an ultra-easy or an ultra-difficult mode, of which Fay and Leshea chose the latter. It's a long road ahead of them, so the peaceful surroundings provide rest...if not for Pearl getting hilariously killed by an apple, serving as their first respawn.

What does Uroboros want with Fay and the gang?

@futuretechfreak Just to be sure, are you saying that everyone who does not like the anime has a low IQ or the other way around? If yes, you are probably the one with the low IQ because you cant even comprehend people having a diffrent opinion. I am not really enjoing the anime, it will get nothing more than a 6/10 from me. But thats just my opinion, if you like it and even if it is your favorite anime then go for it, just dont hate on people who dont share your opinion.

Yeah, coz most ppl are rating it stupidly low for no reason. As of this conversation it's 5.91. Tbh in my opinion it's between 7-8 but rn I ain't sure how much I will rate it. There're loads of shit airing this season which are rated higher than this one

@futuretechfreak I get the point, but tbh i think the ratings look ok, most of them are between are between 7-5 and a good amount on 4 and 8. The amount of 1s, 2s and 3s is not very high. Most peeple are rating it as fine. I agree that 5.91 is a little bit to low, but i cant see it getting more than a 6.5.
On the other hand you shouldnt care so much about the rating, i am not allways agreeing on the rating but that doesent change my opnion on the anime. It's just a way to see how the majority of people feel about the anime, but at the end, it doesn't matter that much. But i guess i will stop here, because i got off topic with this.

TBH, the human appearance Gremoire changed into is kinda hawt.

What's interesting is... this hawt girl appearance actually exists in the Human world, since Gremoire said she copies someone she met before.

And she wants MC to come back to visit her cause she gets bored sitting in a room by herself for thousands of years, since the only time someone comes to challenge her is as a last measure, and not many people knows this challenge.

Meanwhile Uroboros barges in and is still tracking down MC and group, lol...

.

And now they're going into a labyrinth... that apparently doesn't allow you to leave...

Hmmm.... this is like a parody to all the anime series that feature players isekai'd into a game world, LOL

.

LOL @ Pearl getting smashed by Appls

But how did she actually "die" from this?... HAHAHA

.

BTW, judging by all the previous God Games we've seen... I already figured out this Labyrinth's winning condition, it's: "player must die".

Since all the previous God Games, all of them have decieving "rules" given to the players and "hints" inside that tells you how to win.
