They already revealed who stole the 2M school trip which was the entrance fee for Tomodachi Game application at the end of Ep.3.
No matter how the story progresses, it's clear as day that the theft is a traitor.

To some of my fellow manga readers, please discuss based on what have been shown. Seeing subtle or direct spoilers in the midst of things will ruin the experience and enjoyment of anime audience and potential future readers.
Tbh, I don't think hiding spoilers and hints in the spoiler button would consume much of your time and effort.

Back to the theft, no matter why, he definitely:
-Throwing all his classmates & homeroom teacher into shit.
-Just by stealing the money, the ones who are closed to him, instantly became suspects. (Shiho who kept the money, Makoto as the class rep and Yuuichi who is closed to Shiho and dirt poor)
-Get his circle of friends in deep shit, 20M of debt (Big sum even for adults), getting tazed and thrown into a shady and wicked game system.
-It also showed that he had been deliberately trying to break and destroy the harmony and relationship of the group, eventually preying on a specific target.

I mean c'mon, if that wasn't a definition of betrayal, which should have been?

So they revealed tenjis past but there were some things that didnt add up.
If the glasses guy owed 20 million then why wouldnt he say it after all he stole the money. Im guessing he only wanted to join the game after shiho was the first to agree making it seem like she might owe the money, if he wanted to seperate the friendship group he couldve probably done it with the stolen money.
We havent gotten to shibe yet but he seems like an terrible person as well.
Yutori past got revealed and then she stopped at that part, but shiho said she beat up some guys for her when they met so theres probably other things in her past that lead up to that.
Tenji mentioned that shiho got plastic surgery for a facial scar from childhood but if you see the Opening you can see it and hes wrong.
Im gonna assume all the characters have some tragic background thats connected somewhere.

This show is a dumpster fire

the episode had zero depth, god awful show. Horrible pacing, horrible characters with no real character or story building.

I hate myself for having this in my fantasy league but I'm pretty well dumping the show here. I can't watch it, zero investment.

I feel like so many here are forcing themselves to watch more in hopes that something great will happen lol.

Wouldn't say i'm surprised that Tenji is the traitor but the stalker reveal caught me offguard a bit, although i saw him being real creepy in his conversation with Shiho, even imagined her around flowers while bragging about being her childhood friend xD

Yutori definitely is taking advantage of the situation to get closer to Yuuichi, i just can't see it any other way, very suspect.

Come on guys, haven't u played AmongUs before? there can be more than one imposter, and there are still sussy bakas around there.

I sus Yutori the most, because the anime emphasized her from the first episode to be a damsel in distress, so she is the one that could hurt your kokoro with her betrayal. In this episode, we now know that she is unintentionally and probably maidenless, making an another way to present herself as the tragic victim. Even her physique is kinda sus, they are way too big for someone who's small. Anyway, these are only emotional reasonings, so I can't be sure. She is my favorite character in the show thus far.

Besides Tenji and Yutori, other charaters aren't that interesting or suspectful. Shiho seems like a girl that is kinda genuine, especially towards the mc, so she is basically the mc's female sidekick. I can't see Makoto the rich generic simp as a mastermind behind this. Yuuichi the second to Kaneki when it comes to edginess, really doesn't do anything except when he revealed his true edgy form at the end of the first episode. All in all, not impressed with these characters. Hope they can be more impactful later on.

i like your view It's a person's perspective that doesn't judge anything just by what the eye sees. Unlike many people who only cursed this story for the first 3 episodes. also judged the entire series to be trash. I recommend you to keep watching this. Because the Tomodachi game will be better in the 3rd game. It's a game that shows Yuichi's attitude different from other mc's, with a score of 8.22/10 for the manga. So I think if you keep watching anime you won't be disappointed Even if the animation work is dull But they remain faithful to the manga, just that the tempo is too fast at times.

I do intend to keep watching the show, mainly because I'm a sucker for anything psychological. It's a bit of a relief to hear the manga had such high scores tho. Just like u said, the anime felt sort of rushed in some parts and that made me think that this gonna be a bad show. Well, I will always read the manga if the show won't do it justice, so no worries there. Thks for your compliment.

I didnt think the traitor would be revealed this early to the audience. Im curious where the show is going to go from here.

Chill guys, I was also really disappointed with the sudden traitor reveal in the manga, but as the story progressed, it made sense to reveal early... and the end of this second game will be insane, trust me.
Im curious as an anime only how the story is going to continue. Ill keep watching because now i HAVE to know what happens next lol.

LikeAFerro said:
I find it hard to rate this episode without seeing the next, all I can say for now is the pacing felt good. Will have to see where this reveal about Tenji takes us before I can say anything about it.
Agreed. Im surprised the traitor was revealed this early. I feel like there is another traitor in the group maybe even manipulating the first one for his own gain. Personally i think the MC is the second traitor.

Serene14 said:
Okay, so the thief is Tenji. Didn't expect him to be.
He is more creepy or stalkerish (should I say) than I thought.

But the real question is who is the real traitor?

This is more confusing than I thought it would be.
I agree that he isnt the main traitor. I personally think the MC is the real traitor and he just used Tenji for his own gain.

k0rvus said:
Damn they already revealed the traitor? Tbh I was liking the thought that it could genuinely be anyone.
I dont think Tenji is the real traitor. I personally think the MC is the real traitor and is just using Tenji for his own gain.

You'll understand soon anime watchers why they early reveal the traitor
I personally have the theory that Tenji isnt the real traitor or at least he isnt the only one in the group. The MC is major sus. I think he is the real traitor of the group and is just using Tenji for his own gain.

That's a lot of posts saying effectively the same thing ;-)

I think they are all suspicious.

It would make more sense to me if this game was about unpicking the whole web of deceit everyone has spun about themselves and others.

Not saying everyone is necessarily outright twisted like we've been shown Tenji is, but people deceive for lots of reasons.

Yeah well i don't know how to make multiple quotes to cover everybody i want to address in one post 💀.

I wouldn't be surprised if everybody in the group had some reason to lie about themselves or others in the group. They don't seem to be that tight knit of a group at the beginning tbh. I think they all kept a certain amount of distance between each other.

I was enjoying the anime, and I still am, but I think by revealing who the traitor is this show has now just lost one of the things that had hooked me the most.

The fact that there is no longer the mystery removes an element from the psychological effects of doubt that we see (and I assume will continue to see the characters go through), because the traitor and their motives are very clear and don't leave room for the audience to doubt themselves nor the information presented by characters.

Simply put, big mistake and major potential loss.

Im convinced that the MC is the real traitor. After this episode i was convinced that the MC is using Tenji to further his own goals.

i kinda knew it was him! the moment yutori's secret got exposed it really threw me off because he was way too calm. i mean, you can say that's just how he is but i feel like the secret would at least cause him to flinch because he is not totally emotionless! i really liked this ep regardless and can't wat to the see the others :> !

Calling it "compensated dating" was not the right translation for a Western audience. Even if it's called that in Japan, the reason why everyone reacted so strongly is because it is a form of prostitution.

So it's been a long while. I haven't watched this since Episode 2 first came out so I'm a bit confused all these weeks later as to what's happening.

And given the ending, I guess I was right not to follow this on a weekly basis. I mean, at first I thought this secret bad guy was someone else, which would have been dumb. At least if it was one of the five the premise would have been a bit more interesting, trying to figure out piece by piece who it is, a long mystery over the course of the season.

BUT NOPE THEY RUINED THAT TOO! Turns out Glasses-kun was the one behind it all. And given he and Shiho used to date, he's seemingly trying to manipulate everyone so she is left with nothing, all so he can swoop in and get her back? Is he trying to get revenge for their breakup? He is just a glutton for despair and pain?

Either way, the frame with his stupid face with the next episode title showing could not be a more apt description for how I feel about this show.

Seriously, that's so cringe.

Also the disclaimer at the start was a nice touch, but it didn't really matter as the scene in question wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
They should put a disclaimer at the start of each episode warning this show might hurt your brain.

They really wanted a hardcore past for Kokorogi and they went pretty far lol, forced to prostitute herself to pay the people that bully her but the priority of her friends and other people is to know if she's a virgin or not... that's so dumb who cares, what matter is how mentally affected she got by this, same for Sawaragi's surgery who cares it's more worrying because it doesn't seem something she wanted, well anyway the "plot twist" of this episode is how the glasses guy was the big evil antagonist from the beginning and stole the money, and wants to break friendship of Sawaragi with everyone so he'll be the only one who is around her because he's a yandere and wants her for him only, that's so dumb seriously.

wtf is up with all that victim blaming???? that was annoying. "he forgave yutari, in other words, yuichi is aware that he's impure" ????? so him having basic morals makes him somehow impure? lol. What is there to forgive anyway, whether she's a virgin or not is none of his business. She shouldn't have to apologise to begin with, it's something she did out of desperation that harms no one but her. Shouldn't the older men who had s3x with a highschooler be judged instead?? What a mess

The cuts to the control room for exposition feel worse/more forced in animation format than manga panels, and the whole reveal sequence for Tenji with the cutting back and forth to his grin, flashbacks, and other visual effects fell really flat for me. The plot moves along slowly-we only got through one more round of the game this ep, I get that it's a big one though-and I hope the second game doesn't drag on for too much longer.
