Welp they've already started cutting out and generalizing a lot of stuff. Not that unexpected considering that they need to cover 1.5 times more chapters compared to the first half of the show. If you were considering to start reading manga it's the best time to do it now instead of continuing watching.

I don't understand why group C was imprisoned for 3 days (scratches, fatigue) but group K wasn't

They didn´t explained it right in the Anime and cut out some dialoges.
Both must stay there but if you have more people in game 3 you will get more stuff.
For example group c became the water only because there were two peoples.
The 5 of the other group got 4 things.
If Yuuichi had been alone he would not have got the water.

I've got a few issues with the rules. They said a solo player can't win, but that's not true, the other side could still surrender.

Additionally, game 2 would nearly always end with a solo loser, so why the hell would game 3 not accommodate solo teams? That just seems like it'd be terribly uninteresting to the viewers of the games.

There's another way to control a group besides friendship and charisma. Fear. You can't commit violence within the game, but nothing says you can't kill em afterwards. If you could convince people in your group that you would be angry to accept the consequences, fear would be the strongest tool.

Not really needed here, but if a group didn't trust each other, why would anyone agree to be the hider? What happens if no one on a team accepts the position of hider?

Why did past tenji agree to play the first tomodachi game? Why was tenji's dad so dumb as to let someone clearly involved with the game know that he knew about the game. Confronting shiho only has one possible ending, and he got it, what an absolute moron. Although it also calls into question exactly how kids could end up so in debt without their parents finding out sometimes. They clearly run a lot of games so it can't be that rare of an occurrence

Why aren't group K more miserable from having to go 3 days with only bottle of water split 5 ways. In fact, thinking about it, rationing the water is a bigger test of friendship than this game is.

I assume we will get more info on the game next episode, but theres a lot of stuff that needs clarifying. Is there a time limit for the game and if so what happens when it runs out? Is there any food or water for the players? They've already been starved for 3 days, if theres no food or water, they won't last long regardless so managing your energy is more important than the rest of the game.

Seems I was right for suspecting shiho. With this shows twists and turns and I'm sure she will end up sympathetic again in the future, like she was forced to do it by her parents or something. Would make a contrast with Yuuichi who was also clearly raised to con people for money but was lucky enough to have someone tell him the "value of friendship".

As for how the game will go, theres only one reason I can think of that Yuuichi would care if the player was a cute girl. Presumably he will have her destroy the other group from the inside after switching, possibly without her even being aware thats his plan. They foreshadowed this with shiho doing the same thing to tenji's old friend group but the author cares more about wild twists than good writing so who knows if they'll actually go that way. Looking from the writers perspective, there needs to be a way for Yuuichi to actually do something or else it would be boring so theres also the possibility of Yuuichi swapping sides if he can convince the girl not to, and then Yuuichi destroys them from the inside.

Oh, they also didn't mention how win the game. Like, do you have to touch the hider, or is just seeing them enough. If you must tag the hider, then you could hide somewhere no one else can reach. Thats an angle to use potentially.

I'm hoping they did talk about this in the cave and just haven't showed us anime watchers yet, but why the hell didn't Yuuichi get as much info about the previous tomodachi game as possible?

I also wish I knew just how big the area is. Really hoping neither side is dumb enough to share the hider's location with the rest of the team. Oh, how is switching handled? Is it announced to the whole team by manabu? Can you switch back?

Alright, so assuming they have food and water, assuming seeing is enough, what would I do in Yuuichi's shoes? I'm guessing my only real play would be to negotiate my and the girls switch. I'm not sure what leverage I'd have though, other than bringing over a cute girl, but the game would end instantly if we both swapped anyway. That'd be about the only way to throw the other team off. If they think the game is about to end with our surrender, perhaps they'll leave a vulnerability open.

Finding the enemy hider first is 1/3 odds. Honestly that's not TOO bad for a gamble. I've got it, the weakness in the game. In order to keep those odds stacked in their favor, the other team HAS to split up. If they were to travel in groups of 2, it'd be very hard to manipulate them, but then it'd be a 50/50 shot they lose. This leaves a lot of room for manipulation. If Yuuichi and the girl don't split up, they can encounter the enemy seekers 2v1 and control the narrative. You need to be able to convince people that someone else on their team has betrayed them. So if it were me, I'd get the girl to stay with me and search for the other teams seekers. I'd talk to each of them until I felt like I found a weak link and pressure him into thinking another member had betrayed them and it was just a matter of time.

Now, instead of what I would do, what would the author do to make the story interesting? Choosing not to split up would be interesting. You could have the game keep going even if both Yuuichi and girl switch sides, if you convinced someone else on their team to also switch. That would be a really interesting play. Get the enemy to let their guard down because both Yuuich and the girl switch so they think the game is over, but really he just revealed crucial information that Yuuichi can use to end the game because he'd already gotten a weak link to swap. Foreshadowing wise, Yuuichi asked if the other player was a cute girl, so that needs to be necessary to the solution. Also they made a point of the other hider saying he would never give up, even if it kills him, so it seems likely that the author would want him surrendering to be the way the game ends.

I doubt it's a possibility, but Yuuichi can effectively threaten girl with murder if he figures out she was an admin watching them. She knows he is a murderer. Doubt they will go that way, but it'd be interesting.

Need more information or to think longer in order to come up with a better strategy.

First Tenji, now Shiho? Everyone is looking sus, this type the type of anime where you couldn't trust anyone. imo Tenji's backstory justifies his actions. Hmmm...he joined forces with yuuichi to crush tomodachi game.
Studio is doing justice to manga by not rushing things and art also improved in this episode, atleast for me.
They're actually rushing too many things tho. They cut off important dialogues between Yuuichi and his "mom" in the flashback, and also cut off scenes and info from Tenji's first Tomodachi Game and his past as a whole. Also I don't remember quite well but i think they should've already explained why they needed to be 3 days with only water right from the start (based on the manga). But at least they'll probably explain everything properly about how the game works next episode, i guess.

And let the third game begin but honestly I did believe Tenji when he told his story to Yuichi even tho it does contradict everything he said in the second game about him wanting Sawaragi to himself but after seeing how far Tenji went to go to the third round I’ll believe him but not 100%

It's nice you get to see what happend in Tenji's past. But there is no really like mind tricks so I was a bit disappointed but it was still great I like that they added a new group and showed us some more of Yuichi's past like finally a flashback with out cutting the scene in the middle.

It doesn't contradict anything. The author was very precise in how he wrote Tenji's lines.

He never refers to liking Shiho (romantically or otherwise) in his internal monologues. It's only his dialogue (which are lies and manipulations) that would lead people to believe that he has feelings for her. In his head, he only talks about "isolating" her and destroying her friendships- goals perfectly aligned with getting revenge.

But because those monologues are paired with his dialogue about loving her, it's easy to assume that his motivations are akin to a yandere, even when that's the furthest thing from the truth. With no reason to suspect that he isn't in love with her, one might not notice, but a rewatch from the premise of "Tenji hates Shiho and wants to destroy her life" shows that Tenji's thoughts are perfectly in line with that motivation, it's his words that are lies.

Damn so I guess Tenji had legit reasons for entering himself and the rest of the group into another Tomodachi Game. He and Yuichi are outnumbered in this 3rd game, even with this new girl joining them, but I'm sure Yuichi will figure something out to give them an advantage.

So this isn't Tenji's first Tomodachi Game and Shiho is at the root of all of it. Tenji's reason for entering Yuuichi and the others in the Tomadachi game is to get back at Shiho for putting him in debt and break her so called relationships. Now Yuuichi and Tenji are playing a friendly game of hide and seek for the third game with a new girl against another group which make things very suspicious.

So Tenji entering the first Tomodachi Game as a victim to their poor friendship. 20 million yen debt worth of his life has been sealed and even its took his dad too. Once again not even Tenji's dad best friend can save his neck. So, well well well, Shiho, what have you done to Tenji. Now i truly curious what the hell exactly reason why Shiho dare to do that? I wonder if its related to her surgery. But then again, i need to patient with her color. Because the third game has been announced.

Sir Manabu in charge at this game. Hide-and-seek game with super suspicious rule as expected intacted. The opponent looks like having a huge advantage. Never give up hider which highly become the one that being switched, one genius which possibly leads them to pitfall, and 3 more person that stand-by just to reach the hell without knowing anything. Perhaps.

So, really interesting how Yuuichi manage to get out of those game, especially since he basically playing the game alone. Then don't forget about the only girl in the middle of the guys. Will she lend a hand to help or just simply observing the monster around? And what kind of help she lends? Well, why the next week can't be more fast, i am wondering....
Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.

The pace of the last episode picked up quite a bit. I have a feeling it just went slow for the second game so that they could introduce us to how the rest of the games are going to work from this point forwards. I already started reading ahead, and man does it get way better from here. Since this game is more action oriented, I'm positively sure that this game will get finished by the end of episode 9, or less likely by episode 8 if they really rush it. I still worry for the pacing for the rest of the arcs, since the opening suggests that we'll keep going to at least chapter 35 of the manga for a good stopping point, and the arc after this one is pretty long, so I have no clue how they're going to fit it all in. Perhaps the the Second Game was a little too dragged out, or maybe it'll all just fall into place, who knows? I guess we'll just have to keep watching to find out.

Honestly I have no idea what's going on through director's head. What was the point of stretching episodes 3-4 (where each adapted just 1 chapter) just to start cutting corners in the episodes where explanations are actually important? It's also only a second full TV series by that studio so I don't really have many hopes for this adaptation.

The way they handle cliffhangers is quite crappy as well. First we got Yutori screaming. Wow... that must be pretty bad! Why couldn't they cover literally one more page that says the contents of the rumor about her? And this episode repeats that by cutting one page short which could make people look forward to the next episode much more.

That's what I'm talking about. I know for a fact that the 72 hours of them in the cave included much more content than what we actually ended up getting. That and those chapters carried alot more emotional weight in the manga due to the stuff that they cut out to make way for time. I'm not complaining or anything, as of right now it's still very good, it's just that some signs are showing up that indicate this Anime might take a dip in quality towards the end.

But everything else is a plus so far, an all-boy Group K is very interesting, and some of them are hot!
I'm wondering if there's any point to make them wait 72 hours to start the game, other than waiting for other team to finish. Tenji should have use this 72 hours to continue that kiss LOL

It might be because it takes 72 hours of absolute solitude for someone to go insane. So to prevent anyone from entering the third game alone

They cut some stuff as well, not that big but quite important imo. Here if anime only wanna know the cut


3. To anime onlies, now that you get Tenji and Shiho story, I hope y'all learn not to believe everything easily 😂. This has nothing to do with spoiler, just from my experience, I suggest y'all to still suspicious to every one of our 5 main cast, but not easy to judge either. I read the manga with this in mind, and it made the show more fun to follow for me back then.
