| Sakamoto... so naive that i feel sorry for him.... |
| Sakamoto is kinda bipolar. The fight with Kira illustrates that he can be pretty ruthless and uncannily perceptive when he is in the heat of battle. This all dissipates when he isn't fighting and he reverts to the naive trusting peacemaker, which makes him extremely vulnerable. To be fair, he did sense something off about the doctor when he shook his hand, but he never acted on that hunch. |
pizza_012 said: wtf. Sakamoto. Soo Dumb. Why are you like that? /facepalms. One of the dumbest MC's ive seen. Oh well. We finally have a realistic MC and you...ughhh. I will never understand some people... QuiGonJon said: Dat fight. And wow, Sakamoto got NTR'ed in highschool 0_o Well, not exactly, since she wasn't really his girlfriend or anything. Annoying cliff hanger at the end though :/ No, it's still NTR, even if he's not dating the girl. |

| I'm guessing he managed to jump off through the window.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| They answered a cliff hanger only to throw another one at us. Great. |
Hybridbloodszak said:  Haha nice look there Light... err I mean Ryota That was my exact thought! Ryouta made me want to punch him in this episode... Why on earth would you trust people after so many have tried to kill you. Sigh... so naiive. Guess you can't expect anything else from a socially awkward guy who lives with his mother and spends all his time playing online games. I never read the manga so Im in the dark right now... but I can not wait to see what happens between Ryouta and Oda. |
Paul said: They answered a cliff hanger only to throw another one at us. Great. lol Good ep :D Obviously he won't die. Plot armor. |
| Man I think there is a certain line on how naive you can get. Ryouta reminds of that main character in Battle Royale, can't remember his name. Although that character was far worse, than Ryouta. |
 |
| Date is one sneaky SOB. I hope they take him out soon. And Ryouta should trust Himiko's judgement more. In any case it was really sweet when she hugged him. Sakamoto's high school buddy really brought out the NTR rage in this chapter. |

| Wow, Oda is a fucking cunt. What a dick move. I think that was too much feels for a simple flashback though. The NTR was a bit forced. |
Hybridbloodszak said: Haha nice look there Light... err I mean Ryota Why are you so polarizing Ryota!? During BIM fights you're really smart and a cool character to root for. But when it comes to human interaction you are a complete dumbass. He'll probably survive and his smart side will come through again as usual. If I had to guess, I think Murasaki probably saw something earlier and was the one who warned Himiko regarding Date and his true personality This episode just made me reaffirm that the character designs, for the women at least, are really unappealing. Their faces look a little off to where when sex comes up, I find it jarring because they don't look hot. What's odd is Madhouse also did Highschool of the Dead where those girls were insanely sexy. i think he's not really that sociable since he is a neet and only lives in the gaming world, he really look like light there XD, btw still epic |
 Special thanks to Gabu for this amazing avatar & sig set!! |
| Sakamoto will catch a grenade for ya, throw Taira's hand on a blade for ya~ I'm disappointed by this anime, it doesn't differ too much from the manga but it's still sooo much worse :/ And that "cliffhanger" is just annoying, as if anyone would believe that the stupid MC could die in this anime... |

| Ryouta trusts people way too easily. This is the second time in a row an episode ends with a trap explosion. No doubt that he'll survive this BIM too, even though it looks like Himiko and Date presume he's dead next episode. Looks like Murasaki will meet Date again next episode and she undoubtedly wants to make short work of him. |
 |
| alright episode... The doctor is such a douche. Ryouta is being stupid... |
  |
| Hopefully after this experience , Ryouta will finally stop trusting people so easily. And Oda sure is a douche! |
 |
| Really great episode, that was an excellent way to end the episode. we all knew this was coming when they invited Date to come with them to the woman for medicine. I'm pretty sure that most people weren't satisfied with the flashback story since it was so short, but I don't mind that much. I wonder how they will resolve. Looking forward to the next episode, really great series. 5/5. |
 |
| Ryouta is naive but Date did save Taira's life, shared food with them, and even gave him a preview of his BIMs. He presented himself as a competent doctor and hey call me naive but I trust my doctor lol. He was correct 2/3 times on his judgment of finding allies on the island. You can also argue that Himiko is insecure about men so she is generally wary about them, which resulted in Ryouta brushing off her quick dismissal of Date. Also women are better at picking up non verbal signals (body language etc). |

| Btoom is keeping my attention, for a anime that i thought might be just a excuse to animate Cod this was a pleasant surprise. |
| Uf... I want to know why Himiko knows that was a bomb inside. Maybe Murasaki told her. |
irez said: I don't think the criticism of Sakamoto's behavior is warranted. The Dr never gave him any cause for suspicion, and went so far as to share resources with them. He probably attributed Himiko's doubts to her general paranoia. Agreed. That was actually pretty realistic. He wasn't wrong when he decided to trust Taira, then Himiko, so why should he start thinking differently with the Dr.? It's not because WE know that the Dr. is a bad guy that Sakamoto is stupid for not automatically acting suspicious, out of the blue. |
 |
| I bet he didn't die. |

| Oh really? XD Anyway I just started watching this today and I thought I wouldn't like it since I tend to deslike anime whose score is 8 below, I can't say I'm loving it but I dont hate it either, it's enjoyable enough. Is this following loyaly the manga? Does it end in the next 2 episode? Because it doesn't look like it. |
 |
| I think they cut out some stuff from the manga... 0_0 Like the scenes before Himiko told Sakamoto to remove the trunk... Ah.. Anyway, Sakamoto's not gonna die. PSH. Main characters don't die, two episodes before a season ends. xD Date-san is sneaky. D; |
| Sakamoto was annoying this episode. Oda is awesome, I'm looking forward to see more of him. |
 |
| Date-san said something about how nothing has changed in six months, and he remembers that building and found the medicine fairly quickly. Meaning he was a survivor from the last game six months ago. What if Date-san was the one that betrayed Murasaki-san? What if he was the one that collected 6 chips with her and then tried to kill her before being rescued by the helicopter? He was using the same tactic with the gang this time round too. I'm surprised he tried to cut ties with them so soon. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an awkward encounter with Murasaki and Date in a future episode... :) |
| Mmmmm a good episode for sure |
 |

In Murasaki's flashback she referred to the doctor as "Date", and then he shows up at the end of the episode. There was never any question about him being the same guy lol. |

| So we've reached the point where I dropped the manga. Now I'm in the dark about what's going to happen. I like the development. I kind of remember the manga making a big deal of Date being secretly a bad guy for several chapters... Here they made it quick, as should be, after all we can only take so much stupidity of our protagonist. And I don't agree it should have been a showdown, a one-to-one battle. We've just had a good one (dang, forgot about that "never approaching the trunk" thing, that was nice) and Sakamoto is not really the type to fight directly. Oddly enough, the shadow guy from the intro, the one who works in the crazy gaming company was long introduced at this point in the manga, wasn't he? Are they keeping him to be the big reveal in the anime? That's kinda weird. |
 |
| Oda is such a badass, I really hope that he and Sakamoto will reunite in some way. I'm liking him even more after this episode. Next episode should also be very good. I wonder how this'll end. It should get a second season imo, the last thing I want is a rushed, crappy ending. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Cliffhanger was ace. I was so engulfed that I didn't expect a bomb in the trunk (of all places). |
| so ryouta has a past like that. that oda guy looks like a badass i thought..... the ending of course has some exciting scene to watch next episode lol |
 |
| You know what, the strings remind me of Journey's soundtrack, anyone else? Anyway, it's about time to deal with Date and we are so close to one of the most hilarious moments I've seen in a manga. meepsheep said: I think they cut out some stuff from the manga... 0_0 Like the scenes before Himiko told Sakamoto to remove the trunk... Ah.. Yeah, I got the same feeling and GuiltyKing reminded me of what else was skipped. |
| I hate to admit it, but Date has proved to be the most entertaining character. What a bastard! I love that we already knew how bad he is since before he appeared, then we just wait for his inevitable betrayal. Exciting stuff~ |
 |
| Great episode ..Clever Ryouta xD |
 |
| How many bombs can this guy take?! Seriously, he is also waaay too trusting and needs to start thinking for himself a bit and using his own initiative... But he won't cos.... Well... Why would he now with only two episodes to go aha |
| Oh boy a bit of backstory and a cliffhanger ending damn it's getting really intense! |
 |
| Damn oda those punches from ryouta gotta hurt s: |
