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.

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.


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

I liked it because Yuuichi may have planned something that not even his teammates know, that is, behind the scenes and when team K thinks he won, Yuuichi wins

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.

not going to be bullshit, just think logically, think all the ways one can win.

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.
Waiting to see what happens!

Can you remind me when and who labeled him genius? Since I only remember admins calling him a monster and even him saying that he's dumber than Tenji.

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.

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

thats what we literally saw in that scene. either way yuichis team probably won.

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.

Didn't group C's warden called yuichi "evil genius" multiple times? Ig that the translation might vary in different sites.

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

It was finally Kei time to shine, he is one of my favourite characters in the manga with obvously Yuichi.

They didnt event play the OP this time and they decide to ended it in a big cliffhanger like always that type of cliffhangers made me read the manga last week and it was a big ride, and a good one

I don't read manga, but the way this episode ended made me want to read the next chapter to see how he obviously wins. He didn't "outsmart" anyone. So like I said, it's plot armor time.

Found this anime fun at first, but at this point it's honestly just becoming sorta cringe.

My guess: Yuuichi's team won the game, because of some quickly glossed over rule/stipulation that the opponent team violated.

I can only endure so many "heheheh.... *edgy 5head Light Yagami lite self-insert MC signature malicious cackle* ... guess what? I planned this all from the start...!! *evil genius cackling continues*

Honestly this entire game 3 forest arc has just been cringe and dull. Hope it gets back to exploring the relationships/intrigue among the original main cast instead of just repeating the same predictable nonsense.

if you still remember Yuichi is murderer. And what do you think he'll do when he's with Hyakutarou and the others go out looking for Tenji? Let me tell you that Yuichi can do anything to win, but I won't say what he did..

So there was another mastermind in the enemy team who was the true leader instead of the puppet one, and Maria even betrayed Yuichi to tell them where Tenji is but Yuichi would be fooled like that it seems like he has another plan and that he apparently won the game because of how tense they want the announcement to be, but that's weird because the other team found Tenji, it means that Yuichi found their "leader" just before them? Well it makes me very interested in the explanations next.

I sensed that there was something more behind on of the other K team members, since it would be "plain" if only Hyakutaro and Chisato got spotlight and the others are background characters. I just realized, is their team called team "K" because their hidden leader is "Kei"? Anyways, I never trust Yuuichi's emotional outburst anymore, lol. I'm pretty sure he had it figured out when Maria didn't tell him where she was going. I'm also sure that team C won, due to the Captain showing violence against Yuuichi. Anyway, I wanted to see the other three, but I never expected them to be actually released from the game. I feel skeptical about Shiho being confronted by Tenji's former friend (?) and just sad about Yutori and Shibe. Just look at his face! Why was he arrested? I need to see more, this show really hooked me.

I enjoyed this episode, Yuuichi and Maria really played with team K's emotions. But the plot twist that their leader was actually just a puppet, and that the Kei guy was actually moving the strings was pretty good! Funniest thing is how no one trusted Hyakutarou to actually keep himself from assaulting someone until the end of the game. So he became a weapon for both teams to use.
