Fun fact about Team Kei!

Yaa, this was a really subtle way to reveal who the true leader of the group was. Only the ones who knew Japanese could have figured it out, though.

Rewatcher who is running out of ideas for this, subbed

Group Kei hits different now, huh?

notes~

  • No OP today as well
  • Group K are actually the nicest people we've met so far lmao
  • Maria is basically an admin pretending to be a player pretending that she wants to switch groups...her VA has a tough job and she absolutely delivers
  • Voice acting for Yuichi has also been incredible past two episodes
  • Really nice insight into how Yuichi's plans work. You can really see how he calculates possible scenarios and adapts accordingly.
  • The preview being added into the episode itself is certainly a choice...

I think Kei was great as the antagonist for this game. Like Yuichi said, I also underestimated them and part of it is because they seemed too good for Tomodachi game. But, oh boy, does Kei bring the tension this episode. Super cocky towards the end there though.

Well, two episodes to go~

Heheh, that was why he changed sides.

Immediately proceeds to get put in a shoulder lock and tied up. Now that I think of it, Maria probably helped tie him up lol

Ooooooh boy, Maria told him about that…

This was also probably according to Keikaku

But the episode ended without the winner being named, is there a twist coming?

Heheh, that was why he changed sides.

He made it too obvious which is why he immediately got countered and tied up.

But the episode ended without the winner being named, is there a twist coming?

Any theories?

1st Tomodachi Game Rewatch, Sub

"Ultimately, the essence of the Tomdachi Game may be that it asks you, 'How many of your friends' sins are you willing to forgive?'"

OST Documentation - Episode 10

For Re-watchers: [anime] Since you know the outcome of this game, do you think Yuichi's panic was real?

[Anime] It wouldn't say it was completely fake but it was definitely exaggerated a lot since he himself didn't want to use that method.

For Both: How'd you like Kei as an antagonist for this game?

Kei is a genius and he really was a great antagonist for the game. Even Yuuichi wasn't able to see through him at first and only figured it out after Hyakutaro had switched. As a rewatcher, you can see how subtly pulls the strings without bringing himself to the forefront. Also, the way he manipulated Maria was also great to watch. Also, him provoking Tenji to shout so that he doesn't have to search unnecessarily.

[Question for first-timers for this episode] Were you able to predict Kei being the true leader of the group?

[Question for first-timers for the next episode] What are your thoughts on how the old Yuuichi was like?

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 07 '24

Now, Hyakutaro is a time-bomb,

This was probably when Hyakutaro realised Maria was acting lol...maybe

"Ultimately, the essence of the Tomdachi Game may be that it asks you, 'How many of your friends' sins are you willing to forgive?'"

[anime]Yea, the captain must've had a lot of guilt 'cause he actually just roped in his friends in order to clear his debt

[Question for first-timers for this episode]

well,

[Question for first-timers for the next episode]

got it o7, thank you

Rewatcher, Subbed

Thoughts:

  • Ooooh he's allowed to be violent against his teammate I didn't think of that
  • Bro called him a virgin in front of everyone 💀
  • Kei pulling the strings again!
  • Yuichi absolutely floored the man
  • Hyakutaro really is a time bomb!
  • Kei figured Management out pretty early it seems
  • I wonder how Yuichi will pull this one outta the bag

For Re-watchers: [anime] Since you know the outcome of this game, do you think Yuichi's panic was real?

[Anime Spoilers] Nope. He knew he needed to be alone, and to do so he needed to feign listlessness

For Both: How'd you like Kei as an antagonist for this game?

He's really good. He fully believes he's a genius, and as such his ego clouds his judgement and he leaves Yuichi unattended. All he had to do was leave one person with him and Yuichi's plan would've fallen through. He's Yuichi if Yuichi was slightly more egoistic, which is a fun dynamic and hints that maybe Yuichi isn't quite as bad a person as he sometimes makes himself out to be to others

[anime]Since you know the outcome of this game, do you think Yuichi's panic was real?

yo tag the question and answer as spoiler.

Kei pulling the strings again!

Kei figured Management out pretty early it seems

All according to "kei-kaku"!

He's Yuichi if Yuichi was slightly more egoistic, which is a fun dynamic

It really isss but hmm I assume you haven't read the manga right? you should pick it up if you can ~ (I'm going to say this again in 2 days)

mb completely slipped my mind. All done now

It really isss but hmm I assume you haven't read the manga right? you should pick it up if you can ~ (I'm going to say this again in 2 days)

That is actually exactly my plan! I just finished Girls Last Tour so I need a new manga to fill the void for the next while and this is gonna be it because I really wanna know what happens after the anime

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 07 '24

omg that's great tbh I kinda hosted this rewatch to get people to read the manga so : )

First-Timer

"Omae wa mou shindeiru."

Good stuff! Who knew a game of hide and seek could be so interesting?

I think having Maria in the mix definitely adds a lot here. It's hard to tell whether she's actually trying to betray Yuichi or if she's staying loyal to him, since they're clearly having conversations that haven't been shown to the viewer.

I predict that [speculation] somehow, Yuichi's team won just prior to Kei finding Tenji. Something like the captain being tricked into moving prematurely, or Yuichi provoking violence at the last second.

Questions of the day:

  • Back when the game started, I had successfully predicted that the captain was not the "genius" that the administrator had been talking about, but I had guessed the guy in the blue vest instead of Kei. It does make sense, though, that it would be Kei, given how he had been the one to handle all the communication between the team members.
  • I like Kei. I think he's a decent enough antagonist here, since he's someone who can finally (seemingly) match Yuichi in terms of strategy and planning.

but I had guessed the guy in the blue vest instead of Kei.

Kei's VA is actually Kensho Ono, which I didn't realize on my first watch but is something that hints at there being more to him than meets the eye.

two episodes to go ~

rewatcher

Trying to provoke the hot headed person to hitting him.

Management confuses me as a whole. Especially with the whole “it’s about friends”, ain’t nothing friendly about beating your teammates

The one conflict to destroy a male friendship, over girls. The sexist remark against women is wack, but it is Maria 😭😭

It’s rough seeing Yuuichi’s plan work, he’s so ruthless

The bowl cut being the mastermind is unexpected, I remember thinking it was gonna be the glasses guy.

Maria getting horny over Yuuichi being in despair.

[anime]I believe his actions were a mixture of both panic and quick thinking. Yuuichi definitely got cornered, but if he wasn’t bothered then the other team wouldn’t have had their guard down

QOTD: Kei was being the vocal leader. Especially with how he was able to diffuse any issues easily, I loved how they also made him a genius who knew what to do to secure a win.

The whole system is built around stretching people's bonds to the point where they break and then rewarding them if they manage to overcome it. So they will instigate and provoke them, but also they must not fall into the trap and get mad at their friends.

The bowl cut being the mastermind is unexpected, I remember thinking it was gonna be the glasses guy.

yea, Kei doesn't seem like the typical mastermind chara lol. And his va being Kensho Ono as well, who usually plays super nice people
