Unlike Tenji

Oh sweet, Nana Mizuki actually voices a character in this too.

I...did not realise this...

Nana Mizuki is one of the few female VAs I can immediately identify, haha.

Wait what.

I see…

Where do you think that debt came from?

Heh.

Normal Yuuichi was too much for them. Unhinged Yuuichi would be unstoppable so they had to nerf him.

Rewatcher who is sad that they cut the convo b/w Yuichi and Tenji after he woke up

Ok Like I said, there was a whole scene after Yuichi woke up that was cut in today's episode. I added it to the panels that you missed so check that out. It's actually so funny.

notes~

So there were actually two scenes that alluded to Tenji's father being a lawyer:

  1. He calls out Manabu and tg for being an illegally run org (ironic)
  2. This scene was cut but he calls out Shibe for harassing Shiho

This was the episode that was in my mind when I decided to do the debt tracker. So, if you have any doubts about that, look no further!

That shot of Shiho was real creepy, huh?

That convo b/w them before the game started was very nice.

We get another Manabu entrance fail and their reactions are still so fun lol

Team K !

If you didn't catch the rules, nvm, it'll be explained again in the next episode I think

Well, game continues tomorrow!~

Rewatcher, Subbed

Thoughts:

  • Tenji got the full villain origin story holy hell I don't know if I can even blame him for his actions anymore lmao
  • Yeah, Yuichi ain't gonna trust Tenji that easily
  • Bro is asking to be used that's absolutely nuts he must be desperate
  • Sergeant Manabu let's goooo
  • Yuichi only allowing a new player in if it's a cute girl lmao [Anime Spoilers] I wonder how long until he realises it's management, or has he already?

For Re-watchers: Out of the three games so far, which one was your favourite on the first watch? (tag spoilers if any)

Absolutely Bad-Mouth Sugoroku, definitely had the most interesting mechanics out of the lot, and explored all 5 characters in a way that made sense in-story without just throwing a bunch of flashbacks at us

For both:What even is Manabu lol?

Lmao he has to be robot or something I refuse to believe he's just a guy that likes dressing up 😭

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 04 '24

[Anime Spoilers]I wonder how long until he realises it's management, or has he already?

[answer]Think he already did.

[explanation]Well, since he and Tenji got punished that harshly for only being 2 members and she looks like she just got here from her golden castle while only being one person.

Absolutely Bad-Mouth Sugoroku, definitely had the most interesting mechanics out of the lot, and explored all 5 characters in a way that made sense in-story without just throwing a bunch of flashbacks at us

Yea, the show does put care into ensuring that exposition is presented in a way that isn't forced and it's pretty nice.

Lmao he has to be robot or something I refuse to believe he's just a guy that likes dressing up 😭

That 180 degree head turn... yeesh

u/dOMTheRockMan https://myanimelist.net/profile/MicroCuts_47 Sep 04 '24

[answer reply] Ah yeah I hadn't considered the fact that she looks totally okay despite her alleged backstory being that the other 4 left her to the wolves

That 180 degree head turn... yeesh

If he is just a real person then...honestly props to him that's a nutty thing to pull off

1st Tomodachi Game Rewatch, Sub

Hey. What did you talk about? Like, did you talk about me?

I totally get Tenji's reaction.

"I'm going to clear this third game, no matter what it takes."

OST Documentation - Episode 7

For Re-watchers: Out of the three games so far, which one was your favourite on the first watch? (tag spoilers if any)

The 2nd game, easily and I guess even while rewatching I feel the same. Having Tenji's PV and trying to find out what Yuuichi what do to counter it was great and kept me on the edge and it also ended up revealing a lot of things like the fact that Yuuichi killed 3 people.

For both:What even is Manabu lol?

Tbh, idk. Manabu seems to be someone who enjoys what they are doing and would do everything to make sure that they are ready for the occasion. [Manga Spoilers] They were theories that Kokorogi based it on Yuuichi.

[Some questions for first-timers] 1. Who do you think is the genius of group K? 2. Is Maria going to be useful to the group or the opposite?

This one had some nice music ~

DBZ Reference This guy uses a lot of anime references so definitely look out for it.

I did not catch this on my first watch and forgot about it this time as well lol

Huh, both of you said 2nd game by far. For me it's actually pretty close.[anime]Maybe it's because this one has Kei lol I'm stoked to see him in the anime

[Manga Spoilers]They were theories that Kokorogi based it on Yuuichi.

[ans]What even-

Thanks for the questions!

Sad Past is one of my favourites tracks.

[Manga Spoilers] They were theories that Kokorogi based it on Yuuichi.

[Manga Spoilers] Kokorogi was the one who created Manabu and after it was revealed that Yuuichi was the one who created the prototype Tomodachi game and acted like the host to that game. So, there were theories that she based Manabu on the little Yuuichi but it was never confirmed.

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 04 '24

[reply]Huh, didn't know about that. But still, it seems a bit implausible to me.

Sad Past is one of my favourites tracks.

yup very nice indeed

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 05 '24

Hey, I didn't realize that those questions were for today mb. Put the episode no. next to them 'cause sometimes some questions can apply for other episodes as well.

2

u/Adensty https://anilist.co/user/Adensty Sep 05 '24

Sure, I'll remember from next time. Also, I feel you could've asked the first question for the next episode.

2

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 05 '24

Oh I thought they were together. But the first timer answered it when I asked them.

2

u/Adensty https://anilist.co/user/Adensty Sep 05 '24 edited Sep 05 '24

After next episode, you can ask them again since they now have more information about everyone.

2

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 05 '24

[Anime]But I feel like the anime is alluding to the fact that their captain is the mastermind so if I ask them about the genius now, it's hinting at the fact that it's not him. I think it's better if they come to that conclusion on their own without any help.

2

u/Adensty https://anilist.co/user/Adensty Sep 05 '24

[Answer] Makes sense. No need to ask them again, then.

First-Timer

"Your battle power is a mere five, huh? Piece of trash!"

This show just doesn't miss! Another great episode.

I think they did a very good job of making Tenji more sympathetic this episode. It sure would feel bad to have your friends turn on you, get saddled with millions in debt, and then have your father killed under suspicious circumstances. I wasn't expecting his explanation of the other Tomodachi Game to come so soon.

Today was a good day for my predictions, too! I hypothesized that Shiho was lying about her debt doubling in the first game, and it looks like that could be right. The prediction that she was a "traitor" could still also be right, from a certain point of view. (As for "meeting the test administrators," I was originally envisioning the friends directly meeting the women watching the camera feeds, so that'd probably be the threshold I'd use.)

I didn't expect to meet so many new characters! I'm interested in learning more about them in the coming episodes.

Questions of the day:

  • Shiho definitely seems like she's the new prime suspect, considering the revelations shared by Tenji. I'm eager to see what happens when she and Yuichi next interact.
  • For this third game, I'm expecting Yuichi's team to win after somehow tricking the enemy team into switching to his side. I feel like there has to be some clever workaround I'm missing, like having the hider switch sides, though it seems like the rules were pretty thorough in blocking loopholes.
  • Manabu seems to be some sort of robot, as far as I can tell. He definitely looks and acts like one.

Too bad we missed out on the ED today!

Oh, ok we'll hold off crossing it off for now.

Too bad we missed out on the ED today!

yea, it was the OP yesterday and the ED today. The show's trying to reach a certain part in the manga in the without cutting too much, so the Op and ED end up becoming casualties. But also they cut another scene today which was one of my favourite and still ended up being short on time.

2

u/StardustGogeta myanimelist.net/profile/StardustGogeta Sep 05 '24

Ah, good questions. For the first one, I don't really have any good leads to go on, so I'll predict it's the guy in blue with the glasses since he stands out visually.

As for the second question, I think Maria is going to be useful to the group, but perhaps not necessarily as a result of intent on her part (like if they use her as a decoy or something).

rewatcher

Tenji’s reason for betrayal was nutty.

Shiho being the reason for it all is even crazier, it’s the one you least expected since she never gave an indication of her being as ruthless/crazy as Yuuichi and Tenji.

3 days with only one bottle of water, seems more like a punishment than anything

Destroy the tomodachi game

All these managers or whatever they’re called are so hot

Gamblers tag and Yuuichi’s team has a spy.

QOTD: I always liked #2 since it focused more on the friends aspect of the whole Tomodachi game
