| Such an intense game! Loved it, especially how Sora won because of his knowledge of science! |
| Wow. This episode was intense and so funny too. Had me on the edge of my seat toward the end of their game. |
  |
| I didn't get half of that episode. I'm only 14 so don't really get science that much. But it was an excellent episode. Sora is getting more badass each episode. Can't wait for the next one |
| Wow. This is one of the best episodes of anything I've seen in quite some time. Bravo. |
| That had to be the best game of shiritori I've ever seen. It was intriguing to see a game that actually had their lives on the line. Plus an extremely creative way to throw in fan-service too. That imouto kiss was completely justified given what was going on. LOL @ the arrow in the knee part. |
 |
| Awesome battle. Jibril is so funny when it comes to anything knowledge lol. |
My Candies:     |
| Loved this episode. That library was so perfect. And that game was incredible. |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| There's lots of people asking about the specifics of air and such and how all the technical stuff works. I don't care about all that, I just want to know where the enjoyment in an anime centered around playing games comes from when it's already been decided that the main character(s) CAN NOT LOSE IN A GAME. EVER. Anything interesting that might happen during the game itself is moot if at that point. This anime can be funny and clever at times, but when it comes to the main story stuff and the game playing, its boring and sometimes just plain dumb. |

| A nuke didn't work, so instead try a supernova. Nice overkill bro. |
| Dat science teachings, dat fanservice, dat brother-sister kiss. Asdfghjkl Woah, my mind blew itself. |

Genix said: A nuke didn't work, so instead try a supernova. Nice overkill bro. Nuke didn't work, poison didn't work, pressure exploding didn't work, had to resort to supernova. Easily best episode of season. |

| Bloody amazing episode because bloody amazing game!! Dude. What a fun and insane concept to watch play out. Of course, the "science" mumbojumbo was inaccurate as shit. |

| This episode was as awesome as hell! I'd say by far the best one so far, since this was the last one I just watched a few minutes ago >.< I CANT STOP FEELING SO GIDDY WATCHING THIS ANIME IDK WHY >.< Ah yaddayadda? Inaccurate you say? Which part? :O |
| I would like it more without the whole fanservice...still don't know why I keep watching it, I believe it can turn into something good... |

| Am I the only one that questions how Steph or in fact, any of them survived the end result of the game? I mean you don't just live through that, lmao. Other than that one HUGE and boy do I mean HUGE questionable ending it was awesome and very entertaining. The science behind it all was explained and that's what I like most. |

Takuan_Soho said: The game wasn't reality, as Jibiriru said at the beginning, at the end of the game everything would return back to as it was before the game. Not sure what you meant by a "questionable" ending, but it might help to know that the point of the game wasn't to win at the game they were playing, but for Sora to prove to Jibiriru that he could have killed her had they played the game for real. That was the rule that Jibiriru had established at the beginning (and confirmed by the conversation immediately after the atomic bomb), and having cleared it, Jibiriru was willing to tie her fortune to Sora's attempt to defeat Tet (which after all was why her race was created). I just re-watched it. Wow, I can't believe I didn't see one of the most important sentences in the entire episode, lmao. What I meant by questionable was the very end result of the implosion of the universe. If everything had not returned to normal I would've been left really confused. I questioned it at first 'cuz I didn't see it specifically stated in the Ten Oaths, but my friend explained it as being under this oath specifically: ">All disputes are to be resolved through the OUTCOME of games The games are used to resolve things. Meaning the entirety of the game is just to resolve the issue. So it's hard to explain but I guess think of it like the moment you agree to a game and say "Aschente" everything you do after that is only to decide what happens with the dispute. If you die that just means you lose the dispute and everything goes back unless stated other wise with the bets." Am I to take this as correct? I figured based off of the last game against the human + elf chess game that although it wasn't completely reality, which I accepted. I never really thought about death in these situations and when it was brought up in this episode I had to question it as I like to piece things together. Thank you! Onto the next ep.. |

| Amazing episode, I haven't had this much fun watching an anime episode since Girls und Panzer. Another one added to my "List of Awesome Shiritori Episodes." |
Toarujisuru said: Other than that one HUGE and boy do I mean HUGE questionable ending it was awesome and very entertaining. The science behind it all was explained and that's what I like most. So true, the science of it all made it seem really cool and amazing. I hope this anime doesn't end short, it has endless possibilities >.< |
RienneBlackrose said: Ah yaddayadda? Inaccurate you say? Which part? :O For example, the lithosphere is partly crust and partly mantle. So by the time he removed crust and mantle, there would have been no lithosphere left. Nothing should've happened when he said lithosphere, and as soon as he said crust/mantle, they all would've noticed right away because they'd be dropping down kilometers on kilometers. It's disappointing because this is something the author could've googled in 2 seconds or remembered from high school geography. He should be professional enough to care. I don't remember the specifics of what came after, but I do remember thinking some of them were equally ridiculous. |

| That was the most fun game of shiritori that I have ever seen. It's always fun to see Steph get humiliated. She is a great butt-monkey. |
| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| I just can't see Jibril's personality like that.. It hurts xD Sure just "wings" Josei fuku!!! Omega gj-bu But why did I feel a bit betrayed? There's something missing... xD Only oxygen = toxic? Coulomb force?? I think I need to learn physics & chemistry more to understand this T_T Too overkill This will bring shiritori into another level Lol @ preview "I used to be a gamer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee" |
"Signature removed"   |
| Holy crap, so much science in this episode. Making learning fun! |

| That preview... I was about to write something serious about this episode then the line comes in: "I used to be a gamer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee..." total throw back xD. Anyways... awesome win... Even though it's obvious that they have to be the winners I was not sure anymore what they could do... Last option about not being able to speak I thought they'd use that paper or the tablet but could not really think of something like Coulomb's force/law.. considering this is only the 2nd time I ever heard of it. |

| Translating that shiratori game must have been something else. |
 |
| The science involved in the shiritori game was clever, but not perfectly accurate. I have a post on my blog that analyzes the science involved in the episode. If you want to check it out, click the link below. http://rthoranimeblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Science Anyways, I really like No Game No Life. You can see the use of math, rhetoric, science, and so much more! |

| The fanservice felt pretty forced to me, as Jibril's accession to the team did. |
  |
| Jibril was great but the kiss between Sora and Shiro was kinda weird. The ending to that game was pretty intense though. |
| This series is shaping up to be my new all-time favorite. Love just about everything about it thus far, and no other series have kept me laughing nearly as much as this one does. 11/10 And that skyrim reference in the ending... so unexpected I couldn't help but burst. |
| I rarely revisit threads, so if you're after a reply you should PM me or post a comment on my profile. |
| Impressive episode, that's what I call a real word chain game! Damn that was just wow with how Sora handled everything! Great episode and well Jibril sure is one interesting character :3 Dat service :3 |
 |
| good thing i spent a half a year on physics as i was able to understand half of what was going on during the game |
 |
| KISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS <3 <3 <3 |
| Epic episode. |
 |
| Love it! Jibril is totally awesome. That was the best game up to now. Sora is badass as usual, with his invincible plans. He even made physics look fun! Is weird how NGNL is motivating me on learning. |
 |
| Easily the best episode. The forced incest fanservice was cringey though. |

HelghastKillzone said: This has to be one of the most balls to the wall episode I've seen this year rivaling Kill la Kill. H-Bomb to Coulomb Force-induced HyperNova. Haha that is what I thought, too! Though that huge explosion was awesome and the game was really interesting, too. |
 |
| Lmao this episode was fantastic and that was one extremely entertaining game to watch. God damn it, I lol'd a bit too hard at Sora's unexpected randomness though. Starting everything off outta nowhere with a hydrogen bomb and then without hesitation erased everyone's vagina. Caught me completely off guard haha. Now, that was a brilliant plan to get all of the girls naked without any censoring problems. Great job my man. :( Poor Steph though haha. |
 |
| wow, that entire episode was completely amazing! shiritori seems like one hell of a game <3 |
| Very good game,but I'm not too found of the fanservice. |
| This is amazing so far. |
| Jibril is so pretty. |
| From wing fetish to an insane word game The things coming to life was really done well Jibril is fascination to knowledge was cute to see |
