DANG, Yuichi has all of Tenji's plan caught and thought out during the time of Bad-Mouth Sugoroku. His 3 traps were all methodically planned with trial-and-error and the process of elimination, simple math tactics that can be applied to real life.

From Yuichi to Shiho, then Yutori to disguise either Shibe or Tenji to finally find Tenji culprit, Yuichi was just faking it and keeping up his façade for as long as he need to to ounce Tenji while keeping their debts in Tomodachi Game low, and using EVERY asset (like their nametags) to prove their loyalty and trust to Yuichi, tried-and-tested in a bold and cunning way.

Shibe's idiotic, big-mouth innocence with others playing by Yuichi's book, Yuichi was the one who's controlling the game all along, putting himself in danger to clear the rest. But Yuich is unlike the rest, he's a definite outlier whom put others' words in his own mouth being the "murderer", like a certain quality of Light Yagami or L whose intent is to destroy Tomodachi Game from within while sacrificing himself for others' gain.

Tenji's sudden confessional acclaim to keep Yuichi to himself, it's definitely a fake-out, but his intent REALLY goes to the point of kissing, WHAT IS THIS LOLS...to fight darkness on a twist...that all 5 of them has some sort of connection to Tomodachi Game (as is Tenji's 2nd inning into the game).

As much as this feels like revelations, I can't help but shake the feeling that this felt shallow on a methodical or even close, towards the psychological level.

Good pacing, best episode so far. Yuuichi's 3 traps set up is brilliant and Tenji has proved that he's one of the best bro.

And on top of that, I'm so exhilarated to see that legend panel got animated

It's a big win, LOVE WINS! Even if I have 100 chances to predict how this episode will end I would never predict that kiss, considering that I'm also BL too. I bet even the smart ass Yuichi didn't see this coming LOL.

I need more BL twist like this in other anime, don't let Tomodachi Game be the only one in this path (sure, it's not the only one, but still very rare). I need to make it normal to have a guy kiss a guy.

Because admitting that you're wrong takes balls x) just like with reveal that Tenji doesn't love Shiho.

At the 20:42 mark, my mind literally went: "Oh no, I don't like where this is going." *vine boom sound effect
My friend spoiled me on what happened at that scene, and I thought it was just an obvious joke.

The people who complained about how "predictable" this show was.
I want to see their reaction so badly.

-How many plot twists are they going to put in this show?
-Yes.

The fact that I came to check on MAL discussions in this episode means that Tomodachi game is one of the best shows so far this season, no probably this year.

I’ve been speckledwarfed! 😦 Yuichi is on another level. Anyone who feels that this anime isn’t top notch hasn’t been watching. But why is Tenji playing? And for a second time no less. TPTB have a let a murderer loose. And not just any murderer. But Yuichi.

Shibe you’re such a clueless dick. Clearly Yuichi is sacrificing himself by putting one foot in his grave for your ungrateful ass. It’s not necessary to bury him too

Great episode! Wow. Yuichi's three traps really were well planned! He really destroyed his plans from the very start...
And Yuichi revealed he is a killer.
And he has to take on the next game alone after moving into front place...until Tenji puts himself forward.
It seems he wanted to prove how he liked Yuichi...and he really did... in order to get to the third game xD.
And this is Tenji's 2nd Tomodachi game?!

Looking forward to the next episode!

Best episode so far by far. Was not expecting the twist of Yuuichi having killed people in the past. I’m 100 percent sure that he’s definitely milking it and making it look worse than it is to push his friends away for their own safety, tho. The tenji confession had me legit saying “what the fuck” out loud. Crazy episode, can’t wait for next week

Damn Aizen Yuichi was really out here playing 8D chess manipulating the entire flow of the game as he narrowed down who the traitor was. And despite him revealing all of that, it still wasn't the craziest part of the episode lol, I didn't see that Tenji confession coming at all. I mean, part of me did think it would be too obvious for him to reveal that he never loved Shiho, but that he instead actually loved the only other female character, but I didn't think it would go all the way like that, kiss and everything 💀 also I'm interested in the details of Yuichi's past as he claims to have killed 3 people, along with the upcoming 3rd game.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Lol wth did I just watch. Art/animation isn’t everything (unless it’s godly like DS), so I’m glad I’ve stuck with this series up until this point. Yuichi has turned out to be a great mc so far. Also, I can’t believe what Tenji did. Not a fan of BL, but that was an awesome moment. Looking forward to the next episode.

Can't stop laughing at Tenji's BL act to convince Manabu. And Yuichi's reaction was priceless.
This was the best episode so far, now is just going to get better.
Can't wait for the next episodes since the 3rd game is one of my favorite arcs in the manga.

What an amazing episode! Did not see that Tenji confession coming at all. Though I'm not sure if I completely buy it since in his monologues Tenji was saying Sawaragi stole something from him 2 years ago and the group have only known each other for 1 year. Since we know that a lie can be believed as truth due to Shibe, the reverse may also be possible and Tenji kissed Yuichi to convince the viewers.
Will have to see the later episodes to confirm the things which happened in this episode though.

this show is absolute trash, and I'm here for it.

I knew Yuichi was probably coordinating with all of them because that fight earlier looked sus as hell, but I didn't notice the name tags at all (and even forgot their significance until it was explained).

Current theory at this point is that Tenji had blamed Shiho for his father dying, but now he heavily suspected Yuichi and made this play to try to confirm his suspicions during the third game. Also, whatever Yuichi did also cause Shiho's injuries that needed plastic surgery. Unless the timetable doesn't work on that? I dunno, not clear yet on when everything went down.
Oh but wait, Tenji's dad was a prosecutor, right? And Yuichi's dad was money-obsessed, and died at some point, while his mother died of some terminal illness (or maybe it didn't need to be terminal but they couldn't afford proper treatment?). SO. Tenji's dad destroyed Yuichi's family, so lil' psychopath Yuichi engineered an 'accident'. IF this was the same incident that caused Shiho's injuries, she might have been the sole survivor, and Tenji's bitterness about that might explain why he did what he did as well.

I'm probably off base, but speculating is fun and there's a lot of tantalizing clues (many in the OP/ED too).
