lol tenji is a dumbass, but I find it hard to imagine it isn't at least a tie. MC power too strong, and they did leave him alone. plus they did all that foreshadowing about the weakness of the captain...

It's true Even if Tenji doesn't shout. Kei knows where Tenji is. He just wanted to bully Tenji. And actually Tenji is a smart person. But he cannot control himself. If someone insults or hurts someone they love

I don't think it was possible for yuuichi tell Maria exactly where is the cave, maybe he just gave her a general location near the cave.

Yes, but in the end, Kei was able to find him anyway. because he is not the only one looking for But there are 2 other friends of him who are helping to find in the area as well.

Obviously you don't feel tension or thrill, you read the manga, you literally know what is happening genius xD

Look around you, the majority is praising the episode and wondering about what will happen, this pretty much debunk what you said about lack of tension and thrill.

I do think Maria may not have actually betrayed Yuiichi (Harley Quinn wouldn't just betray her Joker like that) but I'm not sure how, I'm too dum-dum to figure that out.

Also Yuiichi isn't that dumb that he wouldn't figure out, just like Kei, that Maria is probably connected to the management, and use that to his advantage.

Well looks like the next episode will make people realize the difference between an actual genuis and master con artist. Since for some reason it looks like people still believe that it's a genius vs genuis kind of battle.

The K Group, to me, is more likable than Yuichi's old group that I even hope somehow both groups win and Yuiichi can merge his group with Kei's on the next stage of the game.

I was desperately waiting on Yuichi to come up with a plan and outsmart group K, but it looks like he may have actually taken an L? But surely there’s gotta be some type of asspull. Like no way Yuichi fully trusted Maria to be on his side ? Given he knew she was from management I think he has to have something up his sleeve which is why the ep cut off before the winner was announced.

Can’t wait for next week

didnt you watched the last scene?
that captain hit yuichi which made their team disqualify.

thats atleast how it looked like
you do know if the captain is out in the open before the game ends then his group loses since the hider isn't allowed to move after picking a hiding spot. just saying that the point you pointed out doesn't prove your point

Bruh i knew some genius would say "you know what's going to happen" and that's not the case, the episode was badly done and i was looking forward for this one because the last 3 were actually well adapted, but this one was not the case.
Even the manga told which team won in the end of the chapter left a better cliffhanger than this episode. But does surprise me that even so there are people who really enjoyed this.

Edit: Actually no, idk why i thought that manga had told who won in the end of the chapter but whatever. In the manga the execution was still better

Haven’t read the manga but here’s my guess how Yuuichi pulled out a win. He waited until the other team was far enough away and then called the captain on the phone. Then he started beating up and torturing Hyakutarou so the captain can hear in order to force him to come out of hiding to save Hyakutaou since everyone else on his team was far away. Which the captain did and resulted in his team being disqualified.

Woah look at all that twist, and reverse card they pull around, and then the preview though. Very interesting idea to put something as vague as shit like that to put more tension in the air! Funny how Yuuichi and Tenji saying the same thing exactly signed of their desperation sound real. Because, wait a minute, the game is still unclear, so unless there's really such a way to said it more clear, its still not the end. By what? By watching next episode, ofc! So yea, let's wait till next week!

true he doesn't uses some rocket science tricks, he is just street smart, cunning, desperate for win and will go any length for it.

In most of genius mc , they show some bullshit twist, but here the things he uses, after knowing u would be able to connect to them, they tricks are so simple but only after knowing.

Also Yuiichi isn't that dumb that he wouldn't figure out, just like Kei, that Maria is probably connected to the management, and use that to his advantage.


I've also been thinking the same, that Maria never actually, truly betrayed the plan (possibly) and they had already anticipated the dwarf to make a move after he revealed himself the one pulling the strings.
The reason why she was so excited and smiling was probably because it was all going "according to plan". She managed to keep up with an annoying plan of not doing ANYTHING for days and still play her part, why would she just drop it now in a few seconds of doubt, when there are no stakes associated to her.

Yuuiichi since the start avoided letting her know the exact location of Tenji ( even throwing her off the cliff served a double purpose in that effect), so it is pretty much obvious whatever he told her on the phone was information given with an ulterior purpose. He also left Tenji without food and water for many days, he was in no rush to get him more supplies when Tenji still had a stockpile.

As it stands, I'm guessing being alone with Dumb Romeo dude and not having anyone tail them was premeditated. If he is such a time bomb, how would he react to knowing the leader he looked up so much either didn't stand for him or just saw him as a nuisance? I'm sure he might have still served some purpose.

Plus. Yuuichi's dramu ending show-off was way too dramatic and unreal lol

Man the last sequence from this episode made me so uncomfortable, this is just bullshit way to lose, for me it would be like Hinata and Kageyama(from) get stomach aches, befero the finals of the national, and because of that they were unable to play, i mean, i really like to see the main chatacter losing sometimes, but this was so dull that makes me want the author to invent some actual bullshit to make him win.

Nah, I'm not buying it. There's no way he'd trust a girl who he pushed off of a cliff with the location like that. Regardless of the reason he did it. But the location was found so I guess he is, unless the cave was found by the genius independently and wasn't told by twintails. That screaming at the end was definitely acting though so I don't know WHAT is happening.

I didn't. The episode already strongly hinted at the outcome with the cutscene of the captain punching Yuuichi at the end. The only question is how Yuuichi was able to lure him out and why the captain punched him. With the women managing the other team calling Yuuichi a real monster at the end too and the episode focusing on the fact you can hurt your own teammates, they were really foreshadowing this. Also Kei calling Tenji at the end let people know Yuuichi can call the captain too.

Im pretty sure that yuichi got a plan how hes going to outsmart kei. I doubt that yuichi, who has been labeled as genius would make a mistake like that. My guess is that yuichi does something to hyakutaro, what causes the other group to attack yuichi.

I guess I'll stop commenting on that matter but it's still confuses me quite a bit how even though Yuichi's characterization has been pretty consistent throughout the show people still think that he got so far purely thanks to his brain powers. It's like we were watching a different anime.

This game was by far the most exciting one.

Its been years since the last time I had to run to read the source after wacthing an episode. I just couldn't handle this cliffhanger. The craziest part is that the manga has the exact SAME cliffhanger.

I'll be watching the next episodes without reading further the manga and might pick it up after the end of the season. After the first and second games, I was not expecting to be this excited about this anime. Grew up a lot.

I feel like the ending of this episode said too much, especially the manager of Group C's words : "ultimately, the essence of the Tomodachi Game may be that it asks you "how many of your friends' sins are you willing to forget"", on a cliffhanger.

If we're looking at what she said, then Tenji & Yuichi win, considering they didn't betray each other and forgave each other's sins or at least put them back for the 3rd game. So in other words, they're back to friends status (might be a bit exaggerated to say that, but they regained trust to say the least), while Group K had major breaches and certainly lost something i nterms of relationships.

Plus, Maria wants to have fun so she betrayed Yuichi to see him being mentally decomposed. If Group K loses, the 5 of them will be hit much heavier and fall into a pit of despair : you can already imagine the Captain picking up a fight with the "genius", followed by the 3 others who would have to take sides. Guess that would satisfy her plenty kek

Regardless, I can be completely wrong, but this cliffhanger was probably not just a coincidence. The anime also brings new twist every episode, so one more wouldn't hurt I guess

not only kei but also,, banri and chisato all of them went to search for tenji leaving hyakutaro and yuuichi alone. now big brain time think how can yuuichi use this situation fir his benifit .
