I'm guessing Kaname's privilege from winning the previous event is for gamers' bodies not disappearing after they die. I mean Shinozuka's body didn't disappear even though he joined Darwin's Game.

it's actually just because he got killed outside of a match cause i guess they only disappear when it's inside a declared match.


It's actually a missing information from the anime (or was it?), in the manga they clearly stated that some bodies could take up to several minutes to actually "disappear in blocks".

This episode is at best OK but I like the execution towards the end. Was pretty well done if I look at it as a standalone.

It was stated by Rein during the event when Kaname asked why the body in the elevator hadn't disappeared. Happened at about 21:09 mark in 3rd episode.

I like the plot twist, giving him a powerful sigil then killing him off. It shows the brutal nature of this world.

Kaname snapped at the end; I like it.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

The emotional tone of the show has not grown at all over the course of the show and I am actually wuite happy with the next episode being the final one.

That said I like the creation of false hope for the hostage and that Kaname will go tootally bonkers.

Even in the real world, Kaname and Co. are not spared from Eighth and especially the ludicrous Wang's thirst for revenge. Time to make some plot then for the penultimate episode!

Even at a stalemate, Sunset Ravens have to be very careful with the rescue operation of Shinozuka, even as the latter has no presence of D-Game happening and Kaname's help to enter him into the game is his ONLY way of survival.

At wit's end? With Kaname reaching Wang, and Shinozuka badly massacred, the ending...TBH I don't know what to make of it other than to spoil myself to the manga.

All we know is: the Kaname before D-Game happened and someone who didn't want to kill someone, ACTUALLY killed someone out of spite for his real-world friends. Ooh the triggers.

I didn't really care about his friend at all. He had quite a background-character like design, so you knew he'd die from the moment he was introduced. I am more surprised it took him this long to die. Also, the story hasn't really developed the relationship between the two guys to make us want to care about them.

The fight scenes were so long, but it surprisingly lacked tension.

Wang is so bad and evil that he doesn't feel threatening as a villain at all. We know he'll end up dead at some point, and Kaname—being the protagonist—has quite a strong plot armour.

These were just some problems I had. However, this anime hasn't annoyed or bored me the way some others have.

Why did Kaname give power to the fat guy if he was going to die? Wang was there, he was not going to survive in any way. Well, I just remember the reason but they could have done something less risky that throw a phone. Also, I like how Shuka was not used to save him or at least take him to safety but for some reason Kaname and the other guy arrive too late just to made a "sad" scene when Kaname's face was ironically funny lmao. And now he starts killing lol.

Stupid plan. 2/5

If this doesn't wake Kaname up from his "no-kill" policy naivety then I don't know what will. He better give Wang a good fkin beating!

P.S. ok nevermind I said that before the ending.. hell yeah lets fkin go.

aw man, i really thought they would make his friend join the clan, his sigil seemed pretty good to me. Too bad he got involved in all of that. Guessing this is Kaname's "turning point" , pretty overdone but it had to come to this eventually. I guessed that he would continue his "no kill" policy for too long.

One more episode left. Still a lot of confusing unanswered questions here...so let's see what happens. May or may not start the manga after this.

It's a little unrealistic how the fatty was able to proficiently use his powers the moment he signed up for Darwin's Game. Things like that should take time, right?

Well the MC's friend died and his mental state isn't looking too good now because of it. This episode sorta left me unimpressed (again).

So in the end, Shinozuka died. Damn. Although I did see it coming from the OP, because Shinozuka is there with Kaname's other dead friends.

Whoa, it seems Kaname's finally snapped. I guess this game does change people. Definitely going to have to pick up the manga after this.

Pretty much what I am thinking about this anime. Reminds me of the old westerns that had the peaceful settler get smacked and whacked around but still was peaceful. Then his young bride or dog gets killed and off he goes with rifle in hand. I see the destination station ahead and I will be glad to jump off this train ride. Until then, let's see Kaname go all death mode.

Kaname lost all his friends during the D-game. He must have felt miserable. And still went on and tried his best. In the end, even his last friend died. And damn, that gave him a big hit in the head. He might be still alive, but I don't think so. He might use his previllige that he got from the Game Master. None of the deaths in this anime felt sad. Shinozaku died way too fast and the rest too but alright. It's still kinda good I guess.

Wang's VA is pretty amazing and funny but his character is dogshit.

And he finally killed someone

Kaname forcing his friend to join dgame was unexpected. Shame Shuka has just become a total slave to Kaname doing whatever without question. Just like that Kanames last school friend is gone reminds me of the film 7 when theMCs gfs head is in the box. Hopefully this mean Kaname can kill the 8th clan members he looked cool finally pulling the trigger looking forward to the next ep.

I wish I cared about Kaname's friend dying, but he pretty much wasn't even in the series up until this point and there was practically no build up to it. Poor lad even got killed off screen. The deaths of his other friends were at least a little more heart-tugging.

Anyway, I feel like Kaname's rage is too little too late at this point. As much as I wanted to see it before, I'm basically just ready for this show to be over. One episode to go.
