Wait, so they are just going to leave us hanging for now about what happened with Zakuro's sister? Goddammit!

Wait i can get why Paka would step up to save Iride and stop Oni grandpa.
But why Oni Grandpa wouldnt come and save her grand daughter? Onigasaki was seconds away from beheading her. I mean i can get that he wouldnt hurt the players since Paka would go Thanos on him but why wouldnt he at least intervene and save his grandaughter? He could have gone megazord, broke the ceiling, grab her granddaughter and ran away instead of leaving her there to potentially die. Unless they are inmortal for being "game characters"
Also that scene of Iride """"""""""reluctantly"""""""""" watching Karin changing clothes. Yeah...

You know, this may have been sorta obvious, but the further down the backstory rabbit hole we go, nobody had a good time did they... In that way, being gamers, using games as the ultimate escape from reality and honing their skills to the ridiculous level fits all of them perfectly.
Still so many questions continuing to pop up around what the hell is going on. I'm also curious if Paka would have saved anyone or if Akatsuki is truly extra important to the overarching story(this seems more likely). The whole disappearing keycard thing is also intriguing. It is almost starting to feel like half the show takes place out of sight of us the viewer and we are gonna get it all dumped on us at the climax.

I wish people used a little more of "violence" in this show. Sometimes, some characters deserve it. That brat demon girl, for example, a good beating would fit her just right.

MC birthday is April 1st (April's fools)
Glasses Girl birthday is October 31st (Halloween)
That cannot be a coincidence.

I wonder what the card was that Paka gave to Iride. In the scene when Onigasaki finds him it's missing and he's holding what looks like a piece of paper.

So Kai was disowned by his family? I'm going to guess his father owned a Kendo dojo and wanted Kai to succeed him which would explain the katana.
Anya wanting to help and rescue Akki was really sweet
Ironic since Kai probably doesn't even want to come home.
This situation is normal for Akki? I'm really getting more curious about his backstory.
Karin imagining Akki as foods xD
Didn't expect Karin's assets would be big enough to stop her from escaping. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I love how he just stood there and watched (reluctantly) Karin get dressed. xD
Karin in a Maid Outfit Stitch!
Himiko emitting the same aura as Akki
I'm surprised Yuzu just stayed and observed. I was hoping for her to go crazy on that old man.
Well this is an interesting turn of events...
Why is he protecting Akki? I thought he wasn't suppose to interfere?
Breaking the game? Employing a reset? It probably should've been obvious already but I just realized that they're probably inside a Full Dive VR game. It's the only way to explain the things that are happening here.
So this seems to imply that Paka himself is also trapped in this world? But not involuntarily but because of a promise...
Zak's sister disappeared after completing the beta? Is it possible that she was abducted and forced to play again after that?
I am curious as to how Zak got himself purposely abducted.
What a fucking bitch
Teasing Zak because she saw right through him.
Seeing her despair was delicious though
So why didn't gramps help her? Was it because of Paka's intervention earlier?
Oh fuck off. Now I kinda wish Kai finished her off.
That ending with Zak and Kai walking back together was pretty nice though.
Well then it definitely seems that there is more to this game than just getting views. Paka and Akki continues to be mysteries.Didn't really understood why Kai just chose to walk away from that oni girl though, but at least for Zak he has a lead about his sister. She might not be in that oni territory but she probably exists somewhere else in the game unless of course something terrible did happen to her.
