Yuichi's request to switch sides to the Group K basketball club, at hindsight it seems like a secret betrayal against Tenji, but it's obscenely smart-ass how Yuichi managed to debunk the entire group's dynamics. He's definitely not a one-trick pony. Their captain in hiding definitely has the smarts to forward plan the way to victory, but this is just part of Yuichi's big plan of "whatever it takes to win" with Maria baring her true colours within to follow his lead. Atta girl.

A bit of a 4th wall break for Manabu's work in the 3rd Game, and Yuichi's plan to lengthen out Tenji's suffering and drop his guard around one of the basketball guys (Hyakutaro) to get them to divulge more of their own Tomodachi Game stats, what smarts. That's even more so with trying to fool them into letting go of their 10 million from Maria's supposed fanservice, then using her as a distraction by pushing her off the cliff for both Hyakutaro and Chisato to the save, WICKED.

What Tenji saw from his last breaths of last episode's cliffhanger, it was definitely Yuichi to the rescue, but when it comes to trust, there's still areas where the loop must be closed with the others once the 3rd Game ends. Yuichi's plan to find the thing, which is the kindest person of Group K (Hyakutaro) to be used as a catalyst to destroy their friendship, Maria is but just one of it.

YELP, Yuichi really is a madman of the utmost cruelty.

Wow this episode was just insane, Yuichi is becoming one of my favorite MCs of the season.

His mind games are just really entertaining to watch, and the way he was making fun of the "captain-sama" was so funny.
Tenji finally got his food lmao, and the way he is using Maria is really interesting.

Honestly this anime just keeps getting better and better with each episode, can't wait for next week.

Yea at this point Yuichi definitely a top 5 MC for me. It’s so nice having an MC who has no sense of morality and is just focused on his goals. Not worried about power of friendship bs or confining himself to the rules. These last two episodes have been so fire.

Dude just knows how to play everyone like a fiddle and get what he wants. Even Maria who is supposed to be part of the game staff was shocked at how far he’s willing to go. I kinda ship them too, feel like they’d be a perfect cold calculating couple.

I really thought Tenji was gonna die in that cave, had started feeling bad for him. Great writing going on rn. Can’t wait to see group K implode more next week.

Shit, this chapter was crazy. Well, Yuichi is crazy.

Poor K-team, they were totally fooled and not even Marie herself expected how she was going to be used, but Yuichi totally analyzed the K-team and found their weak points.

Poor Tenji, he finally was able to eat after 4 days.

Also poor Hyakutarou he seems like a good person, it's a shame that his friendship with his friends lasted so little.

I hope Group K leader/hider appear soon, I love his big strong body. But other group k members are also good, the playboy is good looking but I love the virgin guy, I'd like to tease him all day, he's too honest for this game.

that has to be the most assinine and most ridiculous plan ever. The way he pushed her off the edge 0% chance the guy could have grabbed her like that and in time. Also the ending of the guys fighting and him switching over. lmfao

A very odd place to end it once you think about it. Why couldn't they have just ordered 24 episodes so we could see more of the story other than just the first three games?

I mean it does show how fuckin crazy he is. And this an anime dude, shits made to be exaggerated to evoke excitement, a real life perspective could be that she tries to stay on but slowly approaches the edge, but no one would wanna see that

keep in mind that they play basketball.I mean they must have much more quick reflexes than your average guy.So it's plausible.

Really happy that game 3 has been well adapted so far.
Looking forward to my favorite K team member shining. He, along with Yuichi and Tenji are my top 3 from Tomodachi Game.

I'm just sad that the anime is ending, hopefully they'll consider making a 2nd season, so far it's just been the tip of the iceberg.

what i'm really worried is if they decide to end episode 12 with a cliffhanger to the start of game 3.5, although it would be a good choice i think. I'm really confused

I forgot to add he must had adrenaline too.
I don't know if it's plausible for you but in my book it is.It's fair enough for me.
I don't watch anime because of realism and this one is without any hax or power so I can tolerate little plausible or not so plausible things like that.

I actually thought they would kill Tenji and stuff but surprise surprise He found a way to feed or give him food. Though it's really smart how Yuuichi used maria as a decoy and used her as his weapon to break Group K's relationship. A woman's appeal can somewhat be terrifying

So it seems Yuichi told Maria a part of his plans and didn't leave her all alone. It was a bold move to push Maria off the cliff. I wonder if he has already found her out.

Using Maria to destroy the K group and it looks like it worked. I knew the genre question was important. I can't wait to see how it will develop.

Great episode! Yuichi requested to switch sides in the last episode and even managed to rile them up by insulting the fact that other team can't do anything without asking their captain xD.
The captain did not allow Yuichi to switch sides as he said that the strategy he made does not need him to work.
He said that if both the girl and Yuichi switched then he would accept however.
Yuichi, however, had already planned for this situation!
Yuichi tells them that he has changed his mind about switching as he thinks that it will be an easy win for his team...
Tenji seems just about at his breaking point...
The girl on Yuichi's team is undressed and Hyakutaro spots her after thinking that she has run away!
And Yuichi starts to run away with her which is also part of his plan...
He pushes her off the cliff!
Though Yuichi goes back to Tenji and tells him what has happened so far!
It's nice to see that Tenji didn't betray his trust and now has regained the trust of Yuichi.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Reading this part of the manga I couldn't help but think that maybe the writers original idea was to make Maria really fall off the cliff with no one catching her, since she "probably" would not die from falling and would just get hurr and those two would help her.
But that's just a feeling i got while reading it.

Yuichi's plan works whether or not they grab onto her in time, because if they don't they'll feel obligated to go down and find her.

it's very funny that Maria went along with all this and didn't backstab him because she's having a great time and likes watching Yuichi work. Rather than being pissed at what he did she's like "damn genius move, what a cool guy". lmao. I guess it sort of retroactively justifies the control room scenes by establishing her as a thrill seeking psychopath.

Also, damn, the scene between Tenji and Yuichi was really emotional. It felt like a real, hard-won thing, both of them having a little bit of their faith in humanity restored. At last they can be true friends, and fight together against the Tomodachi Game.

She doesn't has to be saved for the plan to play out. If she really fall there, those 2 will still try to help her anyway

If the opening shows clips of what to expect in this season, then they still have a decent amount to go. I think it'd be possible for the next episode or two to include the end of this game and the aftermath. There's a decent amount thats left if speculations of where the season ends is correct.
