| Tenji really wants the others dead so that he can have Shiho all to himself for his own revenge plan, not surprised that there's people like him around to tamper with all of their relationships for his own gain, especially one if it has a romantic effect to it. Time to continue the Bad-Mouth Sugoroku game, and more lies and deceit spew out as the game progresses within those 3-minute multipliers and game periods. And as expected, Shiho, Yuichi and Yutori had a romantic farce to lead Tenji into thinking that he truly had the upper hand For now, this game plays periods to lessen debt, and "chance" spots to go ahead with the biggest exposé of their lives, and out of the 5, Tenji is the one to avoid this treatment. And only Manabu-kun makes the choices more exquisite for the choices to matter. Shibe's taking the shot to volunteer to be the biggest exposé, and to be the son of a public prospector whom has had affairs and scandals, this is probably the most scathing reveal so far that Tenji goes all-in to avoid suspicions falling onto himself. Even worse, Shibe killing a person, this seems too outrageous to be a thing...and only one person can doctorate that off: Yuichi. Honestly though, if I had money I would bet it all on Yuichi. He knows how to play "two at that game", and let's see how it goes of Yuichi vs. the traitor Tenji. |

| I really hate tenji so much for getting between Yuichi and Shiho. Generational instigator. I hope they get it patched up at some point. Hated to see Yutori and Shiho get into it like that as well. Was a pretty hard episode to watch because I hate seeing relationships torn apart, but the drama is great. Looking forward to next week to learn more about Shibe situation. I’m sure it was probably an accidental death or something. |

| There's a rhetorical strategy that Tenji uses in his discussion with Shiho - "Don't go looking for villains!" but then proceeding to make accusations himself, albeit under the guise of being Shiho's ally. It gives the surface-level appearance of companionship while also allowing him to undermine everything as he sees fit. But as we learn throughout the show, Tenji may have been the one who stole the money and signed them up for the Tomodachi Game, but even he is not infallible. This manifests in two ways - firstly, the actual rules of the games and spaces are unpredictable, which means that if Tenji wants to make his plan work, he needs to more-actively taken into consideration a slew of unknowns. This makes his ability to enact his ideas more dangerous than he previously thought. Secondly, Tenji is playing the game with four other people, each with their own agendas and identities. The fact that he only-just narrowly avoided having his entire plan blown to smithereens was only saved by Shibe deciding to be repentant and apologetic. Plus, Yuichi having evidently set the stage for a plan of his own that has caught Tenji off-guard is a reminder that he's also being watched. Granted, Tenji wanted to get some suspicion off of him, but his cavalier attitude about throwing around hypotheticals and accusations isn't the kind of thing you can do and not have others notice. For now, we press onward! |

| Yuichi is up to something again, oh boy. I liked the inner thoughts of Tenji, this might blow up in his face though. |
really good episode   |
Jesus, manga Yuichi looks menacing as FUCK. |
| Tenji is so toxic it's really scary, like he's ready to throw anyone under the bus at a moments notice. On the other hand, he is so blatant about it, I wouldn't be surprised if Yuichi already figured him out and laid his trap back when Tenji was in the box and has everyone else on board already Interesting choice to change the pov character after having last weeks reveal. |
| If this show is about building tension then it's doing a good job I so wanted Tenji to go down that episode, I thought I might explode !!! And I love that the show trolled the viewers (are you the gullible idiot?) |

| "Shiho's jugs are big. But its not as big as Yutori's" Hidden up here is a clue for yuuichi's plan. Have a fun time finding the clue pervs... |
bruh.. look at the scene.. the anime doesn't even feels like the same character.. I'm increasing the rating from 8/10 to 9/10 cuz holy hell! is this shit so interesting! and exhilirating.. I love anime where we focus on drama of characters while they are fighting for their fking lives and this one lives upto the hype the manga fans have been creating since ep 1.. Gonna pick up the manga soon |
| good episode overall. Just like the episode title, i was cringing so hard at tenji omfg |
eren_2601 said: i am sure that yuiichi saw the handwriting of that traitor guy and i think manasabu or whatever his name, that guy threw the paper on purpose so that he would see the handwriting i guess tenji completely fell for yuiichi's trap In case you guys missed they literally showed that paper when yuiichi slapped that tenji crush (forgot her name) 😐 Nice observations. But you are 80% wrong. I wont tell you why. But observe the episode more and you'll pick up hints and that'll help you get an idea of whats actually happening. Try watching the last episode as well. |
| The drama isn't stopping, moreover reaching some new heights every other episode. Tenji getting the taste of his own medicine towards the end, really can't wait what Yuuichi's up to. |

| Great episode! Tenji really wants Shiho all for himself... He even tried to go as far as making her doubt Yutori... Tenji even bad mouths himself and as he comes out of the booth, everyone is arguing with each other... Shiho gets a special chance to expose one person's big secret. Tenji is scared of that because he...applied for Tomodachi game?! Shibe asks to be picked...what bad timing...Tenji's secrets could have been revelaed and the group could have solely isolated him! Shibe's secret that was revealed was about his dad being involved in criminal activities-it seems even he didn't know this. Tenji used this chance to try lay the blame on Shibe! Someone even revealed that Shibe killed someone but it wasn't Tenji. It would seem Yuichi is up to something to see who the impostor truly is... Looking forward to the next episode! |

manga opinion: look badass anime opinion: psychopath's smile |
| really good episode soooo much drama, looking forward to it next week |

This is why I say read the manga, just because the art alone is really good. And IMO the anime doesn't do it justice. |
isk____ said: at the end they said "if you were watching closely, you must have noticed." r they just saying that for suspense, or are there actually signs we can c of yuichi doing something that i missed? or is r we supposed to b unable to c it? You could, but I don´t think you will notice much. |
| Yuichi is up to something again, I wonder what he's got planned this time... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| 10/10 generalization of women. Pacing's better in this episode. Also seems like Yuichi is up to stuff again. |
 |
| Surely they concocted some sort of plan against Tenji when he was casting his first vote. Everyone is acting more suspicious than Tenji for this not to be true. |
 |
| This was a very intense episode. Tenji is really starting to piss me off but it seems like the MC is just starting to make his move :o . Im curious to see how this game ends. |

LoreleiNeko said: I like how you think. Someone pointed out, the papers that people wrote on have been crumbled or turned into origami outside of the booth, which I didn’t notice before. As long as disappearing ink wasn’t used like the last game, they should be able to at least tell that the same person has been revealing secrets, even if they couldn’t pinpoint the traitor specifically from his handwriting. When you’re in the booth, you could try turning the box upside down to see what secrets have submitted. Not sure if this is doable with a pen, but if the person before you writes hard enough on the notepad, you can color the page underneath to see what they wrote. Yuichi doesn’t come off as a person who would resort to physical violence, so that whole fight with Shiho is most likely an act. It makes you wonder if everyone is in on it, or just Yuichi and Shiho. Shiho and Yuichi haven’t been talking one-to-one, at least from what we’ve been shown. Maybe they’ve been using the notepad in the private booth to communicate? We can see in the last round, Shiho went in right after Yuichi. |
|
| Tenji got Shiho wrapped around his finger with all the lies he's telling her and managed to turn Shiho and Yutadori against each other. Poor Shibe-kun is all alone now as nobody believes a word he says. However, Tenji's plan might backfire on him as he was not the one who wrote down that Shibe killed someone as it looks like Yuuichi has something else up his sleeve. |
 |
| Feels bad for rich boy. Not only getting shocking news, but losing his friends all within the second. I'm curious if he's in on Yuuichi's plan. Tenji is slimey as fuck. God that manga version 12/10. I guess having the episode directed by a certain POV doesn't guarantee innocence. |
| Definitely the best episode so far. I was worried about the way the game and relationships were being handled the last episode but I really like how they did it this episode. The dynamics are working a lot better now, especially with Tenji and Yuichi. Hopefully it keeps getting better as we go along, could be pretty good. |
