Lul, Nobuaki is still trying to keep everything in order.

First half of this episode was very boring tbh. As for the storytelling, it's like the same thing every week again with Nobuaki playing the role of a good guy. And whenever one of this classmates begins to suffer, he worries like no tomorrow and feels helpless.

Nobuaki's inner thoughts had some very predictable dialogues.

Some people are not appreciating the fact that Nobuaki is trying to save them. They are just brushing him off. He has been through so much, he doesn't want anyone else to die. He will not give up. RIP Masatoshi. Nobuaki tried to save him, but he couldn't.

I hate every character, I hate the writing, I hate everything about this show, and it hasn't even made up for it by being unintentionally funny since like episode 6... Why am I still watching this show? Is there some part of me buried deep down in the darkest parts of my heart that hates myself and is manifesting an uncharacteristic streak of masochism because of this terrible show? Why do I still actually WANT to sit through the next two episodes to see how this ends even though the last four episodes have just been torture with no redeeming qualities whatsoever? I don't care about any of the characters or how they die, the mystery part of the show is already dead, I can't even tell what's keeping me here... Can this show please just be over already?

I thought Mayoiga would be the worst anime I've watched and completed just to know how bad a show could get and would remain that way for quite a while until Ousama Game and Evil or Live came out. It sure is 'fall' season as it could get.

Nobuaki too good for these losers :'(
The guy dies from exhaustion and falling in the sea, nobuaki with some spirit motivation and gets closer to riona.
Either someone passed out before him or he overcomes the punishment.

The rules said you can't use any means of transportation. Riona rode on Nobuaki's back at the beginning of the game so shouldn't that count as transportation? Maybe that's how Nobuaki will survive. Although previous orders seemed to indicate you immediately get punished...

I noticed that when Nobuaki called Ryou the only person that wasn't there was Aimi, even tho he left her with them. So i think she stayed behind for everyones sake which is what will "save" Nobuaki from being the farthest behind. Quotations on save because it will probably mess with his internal dialogue next episode when he cries about not being able to save her.

You know, the manga sold more than 100k per volume and it is the thing that bothers me the most. I know Japan has specific taste but I never saw manga readers having this bad of a taste.

Pretty boring episode, nothing funny happened. I guess Riona being cute made up for that, too bad she's probably going to die next episode, since there's no way Nobuaki is going to die this early.

I hope next episode becomes Another 11th episode 2.0. This show needs to end with a bang.

I wonder how the show will BS a way to keep Nobuaki alive, since he's definitely not going to die before the rest of his fodder classmates. Seeing as how he and Riona got closer in this episode, I'm sure she'll be the one to die for whatever reason instead of him so that new bond can immediately be severed.

Nothing super stupid or ridiculous occurred in this episode, which is a shame since that's the only reason I'm still watching this. The only thing I can think of would be the scene when Nobuaki was underwater trying to save Masatoshi, and it looked like he tried to breathe air into his lungs.....while they were STILL underwater. Did anyone else catch that? How exactly would that even work?
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Lol, just wanna criticize that's not how you do Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

So basically Nabuyaki just kisses that guy directly lolz..

Other than that it was an ok episode.

Just wanna say that no matter what they do, at least 2 people will get punished in this game, so donnu how he keeps wanting to "save everyone" which is impossible. Should just let Aimi die so she won't help Natsuko to survive again.

idk why i should care that Riona is now the main heroine when she just came outta nowhere to the forefront two weeks ago with absolutely no buildup (especially when the flashbacks took up most of the time)

i got an idea on how they'll BS it...theres a chance the guy that drowned could be the one.

Please Nobuaki just die already!! But not before you kiss another guy that was just the cherry on the cake, really. Guess who missed their first aid education. I mean that seriusly supposed to be mouth-to-mouth ventilation? Hell no that was just a kiss. The anime's final desperate attempt to find an audience. xDD
BTW the OP song is still the best part of this shitfest, Coldrain deserves better.

There's a fine line between being empathetic and helpful and being just a plain out idiot. Nobuaki has long since crossed the line to idiocy, and every episode I keep thinking he can't become more so, yet he continues to prove me wrong. It's truly a talent.

I usually drop anime this bad but it had me at least slightly interested how bad it could get up until the 7th or 8th episode, so with two more to go now might as well finish yeah? I miss the flashbacks honestly.

How does staying behind for someone benefit anyone?
Why did the guy push down Matsu for such a trivial reason as him being in his way for a minute?
Why didn't anyone think of carrying Matsu as a group?

And why are the King's orders so goddamn random? One minute this anime is a kiss-or-die romance, then a group circle life-or-death, now it's a race.
What is the rhythm of this anime??

@Troll12345678966

The only reason anyone actually is enjoying this show IS because of how cringe it is.
Last episode, a guy got decapitated, and then another guy put a hat on the spot where his head used to be, and it was fucking hilarious.
This episode?...yeah, the characters were stupid, but nowhere near as hilariously stupid as the previous episodes.

@Ventus_S

What I don't get is how it's even possible to perform cpr underwater.
Why didn't Nobuaki just carry Matsu up, instead of wasting time staying underwater moping?
In fact, how did he not run out of air when staying underwater for that long?
In fact, why does Nobuaki treat every character's death as though it's his first time seeing them die?

Aaww, could it be that Riona-san has develope some of "not-so-related-with-the-survival" feeling toward Nobuaki? Even if it's just for a sprinkle of the "feeling", it might be needed so it can lower the tense during the marathon.

Loved how nobu left the tsundere telling her to catch up, he reached the rest and went back again and she's still half way through.

We should really stop running to admire how beautiful the sea is.

the whole sea scene was hilarious,and just how long can nobu hold his breath he spent about 4 minutes after giving, the guy some oxygen.

Then he got out and sat around cursing the cruel world forgetting about the race.

Ousama is trying very hard to be worse with each ep.

Why are we still here....just to suffer?...

the logic of the show is flawless. "These guys consider me their leader, the one who is gonna find a way to break the game and save them. so in order to save them, Imma let myself be killed be the game..

When Matsu fell I just laugh, they find a new way to make an absurd death

So considering there is only two ep left and a lot of people are still alive either next ep is gonna be a massacre or nobuaki will somehow find a way to save them after all. With this show, I can´t actually tell cause they like to come up with dumb stuff every time.

This show is such an experience...

Before you open the spoiler below, I would like you to recall the events that occurred in the last minutes in the previous episode of Ousama Game (Episode 9). Now open the spoiler below:

Never would have thought that a show can be so cringy just after 3 minutes after it has started. Yes, OP included.!!!

So Masatoshi fell in the sea and when Nobuagay was was about to rescue him i was like, "go! jump and die for all i care" and he did actually jump. Lol.

Why am i still watching this show? I don't know! Out of obligation? Curiosity perhaps? Curious on how are they going to kill the remaining survivors. But that many brings doubt to my heart. Now I'm hyped 😂😂😂

Opening a can for a girl with nails is the quickest way to her heart confirmed.
Follow up actions can also include stripping in front of her and a trip to the beach.
do not call her your dead girlfriend's name though. bad. abort. does not assist in endeavors to sleep with girl with nails.

Also.. Running shoes. DEFINITELY EQUIPMENT! You heard it here first.

If your nails are so long that you can't open a canned drink, it's really time to cut your nails. Or break one damnit. Such a lame moment for us women.

Can't believe this show is gonna drag out for another 2 episodes.
I think its real purpose is to make the audience suffer.
