THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
More mind games....

Once again, I don't trust Natsuko at all. It's too bad that Ami still wants to save Natsuko. At this point, she still considers her as a s friend. The first half of this episode featured a lot of her with usual antics. Natsuko's mentality is beyond saving.

I definitely could not take the ending seriously at all. Not many episodes left and there's there's not many survivors of this twisted game either. Sigh. 22 dead, 10 remain. Oh and the censors...lul

I can't believe I'm saying this, but can we please get more of the flashbacks? Holy crap, at least we could laugh at the ridiculousness of that class. This current class and dealing with Ms. Psycho McCrazyBitch is just exasperating at this point. I don't even care how Chiemi died, I just want to go back and find out so we can get a break from Natsuko, for me she's basically ruining what little this show actually had going for it...

Natsuko needs to die already. She is too cringy to watch. After all the things she has done, Aimi is a stupid girl to continue to support her. Teruaki's plan didn't work and died for it. Ryou was in complete shock when he saw him. I couldn't take the death seriously.

What pisses me off the most, amongst all of the absolutely ridiculous things in this show, is just how utterly useless and brain dead the side characters are. All they do is stand around and watch as Natsuki just does whatever the fuck she wants. Seriously, at this point someone should have punched her or something, c'mon.


Well, too late to drop this now. Let's see what the last three episodes have in store for us.

Seriously this show doesn't make any freaking sense.

He breaks his fingers without actually feeling that painful at all during the process, and like a minute later he literally feels nothing at all. Go watch Made in Abyss ep 10 and then watch this and you'd feel the whole torture scene is so unrealistic in Ousama Game, and hard to take it seriously.

Fingers are a very delicate part of human, so how's he not in immense pain constantly and talk like that? Also that personality shift in an instant as always..
He was crying a moment ago then go yandere next second.
He could still have give all the negative point to the bitch girl, but he shouldn't talk like that, acting like evil villain in an instant.

The same can be said to how retarded Aimi is, and how she doesn't feel any pain after all her fingers broke. Also how can they talked so normally after all the shit happened just yesterday? Their reaction is the most unrealistic thing I've seen in anime.

Did I also need to mention how poorly they portrayed the bloody scene of broken fingers?
How bad the animation in general?

Seriously this show is easily a 0/10 for me.

Damn I can't even enjoy this show as a comedy anymore, it's gotten just too bad now...
Like this Stylist dude broke all his fingers on one hand (without any pain after like 3 seconds wtf...) just to get their phones back? I mean they are two dudes with the rest of the class pretty much behind them, like how can they not take their phones back from one girl?
Speaking of wich, that bitch just needs to die, holy shit it's so hard to watch this cringey annyoing ass character shifting through her emotions like that (and don't get me started on that 'friend' of hers).
And yeah the end with the "crying-while-having-sex" dude dying was stupid as usual.
Well I've gotten this far might aswell finish it but I just needed to vent a bit.

I know, it's just wishful thinking... At this point they could just randomly drop a meteor on the current class and spend the next 3 episodes with Nobuaki in a mental hospital and I'd probably enjoy it more than what I'm sure will actually happen.

Still don’t understand why no one is killing this psycho. Why does everyone seem to be afraid of her, she’s only 1 person. I find it so dumb that Nobuaki was the only one that restrained her when she was destroying Aimi’s hand. None of them deserve to live except for Teru and Nobuaki.. you guys literally lost your humanity if you just sat there watching a single person crush your peer’s hand and listening to her screams. oh wouldn’t the most logical thing to do when she basically killed Teru was for everyone to like charge in and kill her or something. Just gonna see how many more people she ends up killing due to idiocy for not killing her.

Oh my fucking god, the classmates are so fucking dumb, but hey, the episode was fun. Side characters out, Nobuaki seems to me as a pretty relatable human character, like he was victim of this shitty show, after that, the pacing of everything has been horrible and the story, while not predictable, is just plain stupid. Once the characters are shown, they die, and I think that's a lot of wasted potential, this could have had a pretty good seinen aspect, but it wastes everything with the fucking "don't you like this hat! Why don't you smile!!!!" or similars we've passed through.

Well Teruaki's plan almost worked but that dumb bitch Aimi just had to go and save Natsuko, even though it's clear that she doesn't see Aimi in the same way that Aimi sees her.

Smh Teruaki, this is why phones have the option of being protected by a PIN or something, but now he's dead because of not taking advantage of that feature. Looks like Ryou has lost his mind now (the way this show portrays mentally broken people is hilariously ridiculous).

These characters, as mentioned in probably every episode thread since this show started, are unbelievably stupid. They could all team up and easily overpower (and probably kill) Natsuko, but that would end the show too early. It's frustrating seeing them all just stand around and allow Natsuko to do whatever she wants. If I wasn't legitimately curious to see how the show will end, I would have dropped this a long time ago, because this show is beyond terrible (and that's an understatement).
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Interesting comparison to School Days... I would say that King's Game is an interesting premise destroyed by terrible execution, while School Days was a terrible premise with reasonably decent execution. Hear me out: I know School Days sucked, but if we're being honest, the characters at least had clear motivations that were visible in their actions (even if they were as simple as "they're all a bunch of horny teenagers!"), and when they did something stupid you could figure out why they did it. The characters in King's Game can't even make logical decisions to literally save their own lives, and when they actually do it's the most awful way to go about it. Further, unlike King's Game which fails to be everything it attempts to be, School Days actually manages to do exactly what it seems to have set out to do; the problem is that what it set out to do was make its audience furious and disgusted almost constantly. Which people generally don't enjoy...

Does that make one better than the other? Eh, you decide.

I've stopped getting frustrated at this show... I now just feel nothing because I know that the characters are hopelessly stupid and they will never learn anything. It's like the author doesn't care how obviously contrived everything is, he just wants an excuse to keep doing what he's doing.

Lots of hate for this episode. I wonder if this show will be below a 5.00 when it ends. That would probably be expecting too much of humanity...

Honestly, I wasn't too bothered with the series until up to this point.

I don't even care about how Teruaki broke his fingers. Good on him for actually taking a dive for the group to get rid of Natsuko. But why... WHY did Aimi actually stick up for her 'friend' after pinning her to the ground and breaking all of her fingers!? Within that time space, she could have easily said 'I pass' and it would have been over for Natsuko... But nope, it seems like she has plot armor...

Also, considering how they've shown rotting corpses, students exploding, people hanging. Themselves and that one guy that had his head spun around 360° to the point his neck snapped and his head rolled off, why even add the censoring at this point in the series?

I am gonna watch the final 3 episodes just for the sake of completion but I don't know... The rating I gave it will probably go down just because of this one episode.

My theory of why the characters are so dumb:

People don't want kill Natsuko cuz if they keeping letting Natsuko killing others, higher chance they might survive. If more people dies for each game, then they have to go through less games, until 1 person remaining. So all they need to do is just be passive, don't get anyone's aggro and wait it out, then kill off MC and Natsuko on the last game. And if the game can have multiple survivors, their odds would be even better.

As for MC, he probably just pretending to be a pathetic retard, to let every one think he is harmless, but he will probably kill off everyone on last game too. In fact he got some people who wants to be hero to die for him.

As for Natsuko, since she is making the games shorter for everyone, no reason for anyone to kill her until last game, so that's a nice strategy to survive too. But shes bound to be dead if the game can allow multiple survivors.

That last bit with the hat had me in tears. Like, I keep picturing Teruaki going about for the rest of the game just fine with just the hat covering his neck... My sides are in orbit as I post this message. Actually you know what, this show may be smarter than we gave it credit for: it actually allows us viewers to take part in the game, as in, it's challenging us to not die laughing our asses off at the sheer absurdity of what's going on on screen until the last episode. And I gotta say it's working. See you next week guys, I think I'll just go laugh until my ribs give in in this corner right here.

The scene where the guy breaks his own fucking fingers just to get back at Natsauko was badass (if you can forget how much more logical it'd be to get back at her another way...), but the problem is that it's by a character whom none of us even know.
Calling the characters retarded is an absolute offense to retards.

I'm sorry to say it, but you have terrible taste. Unless this is your first anime, you should know that there are anime that are 10000000000x better than this.

I dunno why, but this is the episode that I was the most frustrated about. It's obvious that Natsuko is either bipolar or pyschopathic, and she even said that she was manipulating people. Aimi must have fucking Stockholm syndrome as that is the only way I could see as a reason why she would continue to protect her, after Natsuko broke her hands because she was too much of a coward to break her own.

Also Nobuaki is so shit, he is constantly doing nothing but crying and saying 'WHY' whenever a side character stupidly sacrifices themselves for him. Even though Nobuaki is obviously a shitty leader if Natsuko is able to constantly influence the class instead.

Fuck this show.

Thank you for weighing in, but I'm afraid I'm not exactly clear which of my view points you're commenting on or if you're agreeing, disagreeing, building upon... Could you clarify, perhaps quote a specific post or portion thereof? I'd be happy to discuss, I'm just not sure what the discussion is or where we stand relative to each other at the moment. If your Mayoiga comments are the important part, I'm afraid I haven't seen it, so that may be part of the confusion.

At this point, I'd say all of Nobuaki's flashbacks were far more interesting to watch (which, at least, stuck to the manga more or less) and made somewhat more sense than the main plot...
Aimi's flashback to when Natsuko supposedly "saved her" by approaching her and befriending her and introducing her to a social circle and being the reason which drove her to save Natsuko was so stupid. To make things worse, now Natsuko has a human-puppet (Aimi) which she can sacrifice to save herself. Honestly, I'm getting tired of Natsuko with every new episode.
Still amusing to see whoever gets punished by the king being able to talk so much before actually dying lol

This is just retarded on so many levels.

Natsuko is literally trying to break another girl's fingers and no one wants to even try to stop her. I actually thought Nobuaki did something good for once but later he just stood by and watched. Complete bullshit.

The ending was beyond all levels of stupidity, this show has gotten so retarded now that it isn't even funny anymore.
