It was so obvious it was tenji, can never trust dudes with glasses. I don’t think he’s gonna be the final big bad, tho. Really fucked up how cruel kids in school can be tho with that bullying for money situation.

Yes you are right Manga with a score of 8.20 It's not just that potential. Because the matter is extremely complicated and all your doubts will be answered later.

Weakest episode so far. Basically, nothing is really happening other than backstories. Not a fan of being spoonfed on who the culprit is, even if somehow there's a plot twist. The only interesting thing in this episode is the conversation between the masterminds.

I feel pretty conflicted about the episode. I really liked it until the end, when they suddenly revealed the traitor. And the reasoning behind the betrayal is very weak to say the least. I can only hope that the show has some more twists up its sleeves, or it might become tedious just waiting for the MC to realize who the traitor is when the audience got that revealed in episode 3.

freaking huge stalker and serial killer vibes. also I was wrong with who stole the money and who the traitor was.

also did he always have that cut? I don't remember seeing it in the previous episodes.

I'm not going to spoil it, so what I can say is that it's not boring because this mc is crazy and brutal. And the other thing I'm going to say is that anime fools you, people who look bad, the truth is probably the purest.

Sure Tenji was the one who seemed sus, but he definitely didn't look like such a big creep... Well all his intentions are only to ruin shiho's relations eh. So revenge for rejection lol. I'm also up for the theory going around about multiple culprits, but even Tenji alone seems good enough. Extra culprit adds in extra spice and i'll take it anyway, xD

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.

Now that would be dumb and predictable if you ask me, but who knows. I'm reading the manga and Tomodachi has one of the most unpredictable stories i've ever seen.

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.

I'm not "acting smart", I'm stating my predictions for the usual "smart" mc that is smart mainly because the rest of the cast is just a bunch of braindead cliches

Idk man, as someone who read the manga because I couldn't wait for the next episodes this felt... ok. I can't really say much else, its a decent adaptation ig.

Pacing was good this episode tho, except for the beginning part before the opening, that was literally lightning fast, but Ig it makes sense so that there's time to fit in the whole Tenji is the traitor scene.

Also I don't really like how they did the whole distorted voice thing, I know there isn't really another way to do but it just was better in the manga since it just text there.

A small thing they added is the cut on tenji's face and also right before he bumped into kokorogi we could clearly see him actually getting hurt, for some reason that wasn't in the manga, so hey, that's nice

Welp, still a good episode nonetheless, but I'm kinda hyped for the next and the 5th episode, that's where the real shit happens

it would be dumb for the show to reveal the traitor early on (not necessarily but most probably unless it plays out well for the plot), so judging by some comments i guess there's some twist to it. so gotta wait n watch.

Well when that notice at the beginning of the episode showed up I was prepared for some controversial shit. Tbh I thought it was gonna be something like the first episode of Goblin Slayer that had people going completely insane, but this was still fucked up to all hell considering that Kokorogi went through all of that as a MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT BRUH. Creepy ass old dude wtf.

Anyway, the "traitor" reveal wasn't surprising, I had my suspicions on Mikasa the whole time. However, I guess he isn't the real traitor based on the soft spoilers I'm seeing from manga readers. "Seriously? That's So Cringe!" is an apt title for the next episode, as that's what my reaction was to this episode's reveal lol. Dude was really doing all that creepy stalker, borderline future serial killer shit because he was a simp, crazy 💀

Let's see guys, use your neurons to think a little bit and stop saying that the anime is bad just because they already revealed the traitor.
I remind you that this is the last game that they will have together, one of them will leave with all the debt, moving on to another game with another group and the others will be free. That is why it is logical that the traitor be revealed because there were few rounds left and because the next chapter our protagonist will be Tenji, they will tell us about his perspective, that is why the revelation
Now it only remains for the protagonist to discover and spoil the plans.
That is not easy to understand ?
Why would you be disappointed if you don't even know where the story is going, or what direction it will take?

I think it was good-ish. There were some things I really liked and some not so much. I don’t even read the manga but I can tell that this adaption probably isn’t a very great one because there’s definitely some formatting issues that just look off and if I had read the manga they would probably be very noticeable. Overall the shows been just about like this episode, good for the most part but there’s some things that aren’t.

Honestly each episode so far has been really good, this one probably the best.

I wasn't expecting this to have much in the way of good production but the directing really impressed me.

Two things I got out of this episode:

1) so your friends' sexual history is actually something that you should consider when being friends with someone. Can you forgive them or not, regarding their sexual choices?

2) by the 3rd episode we already know that the glasses guy is up to no good. Now it's obvious that he's not the only one with bad intentions because it's only episode 3.

The pacing of this anime is really...weird, to say the least. They spent an entire episode on adapting a single chapter, while the last episode had 3 chapters adapted. The directing of the show has a lot left to be desired as well. The manga didn't feel cringy at all, but the next episode title pretty much summed up my feelings for how this show has been adapted so far lol. Well we find out that glasses guy is a traitor, yippee. Clearly not a grand reveal since the show just barely started.

Great episode! It seems the one who was the thief and revealed Yutori's secret she did 'compensated dating' was... Tenji! He really wants to be with Shiho and resorts to creepy stalkerish methods to do so...

Looking forward to the next episode!

Well, I predicted before they revealed him that its Tenji's the one who took the money. He's quite the yandere here. But I don't think this is as simple as it looks like. They will not gonna spoil you as easy as that so yeah, I'm more curious what's really happening here.

The plot thickens as Yuichi and his friends continue the second game. It was revealed Yutori was involved in compensatory dating in jr.high because she needed the money to stop the bullies from picking on her and Shiho was the only one who knew about it which causes the cloud of suspicion to grow around Shiho. The twist was that not only Shiho knew about Yutori's past, but also Tenji who was listening in on Shiho and Yutori's conversation. He was also the one who stole the money out of Shiho's locker and received a cut from bumping into Yutori. I think this reveal is just a smoke screen for another plot twist and everyone except Tenji is not off the hook yet. Now that I know about Yutori's past I'm more suspicious of her as she has already fallen into the money trap and believes that money will solve all her problems rather than friendship.

It's always the quite and innocent one you have to watch out for.

just wondering. that warning message of the rape/sexual assault, was that in the original Japanese version?

Why would shibe say "oh you were sucking dick for money" like spelling it out what everyone else already knew. Probably the most inappropriate thing i've ever seen.

And why does he need to "forgive her"? Is this really the thing of like "you got raped so you are gross now?

Don’t trust the big boobs girl at all still, but glasses guy was so obviously the traitor. There might be more tho. Kinda felt like they are working together.
