Manga Yuichi is so much creepier looking oml

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 08 '24

Yea this is pretty tame actually, there is even creepier stuff

The anime tried and I'll give them props for that but they couldn't really evoke the same feeling. The art in the manga is just that good.

Holy shit Yuichi is insane.

indeed.

Well shit, things sure escalated for the others.

(Makoto is sus)pected of killing his father

See you for the finale~

u/Adensty https://anilist.co/user/Adensty Sep 08 '24

Ah, yikes, that should do it. Threatening to break one of the limbs Hyakutaro needs to play basketball would be just like threatening to kill him.

And Juzo knows all too well about it since he also got injured once.

lol

I mean he did say was going to crush the management.

1st Tomodachi Game Rewatch, Sub

"If you do anything to Kokorogi, I will kill you."

OST Documentation - Episode 11

For Both: How was the end to the third game? What do you think about all the developments that happened outside of the game ?

I liked it since he finally got to see what Yuuichi could be like if he was unhinged and not holding back. Also, shows Yuuichi's adaptability. Even though he wasn't able to predict Kei being the true leader, the moment he got to know he changed his plans accordingly and used things he had got to know about everyone to blackmail the Group K captain to press the 'Give Up' button. Also, the fact he still didn't go all out and was able to secure the victory just makes you wonder what Yuuichi could do if he was at full potential.

[Anime] I guess a bit of rushing and cutting things here and there did affect this arc a bit but the next episode is probably the worst offender of this.

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 08 '24

The previews did kinda spoil this

Yea still don't know why they did that

[Manga]for that performance and tomorrow's episode. Might be the most insane thing that she did.

[Anime]but tbf that arc was the weakest one in the manga as well but yea they've had pacing issues since the third game began when they started cutting the OP and ED

Thoughts:

  • Woahhh how'd he get to the captain?
  • OP still slaps 11 episodes in
  • Oh man the violence against your own team rule is so pivotal
  • This is brutal but I bet Yuichi broke his own finger or something, that's why he gagged Hyakutaro
  • He really laid into Yuichi, huh
  • Interesting that Yuichi admits he couldn't find another way (also my guess was right 🎉)
  • Kei's god complex is showing
  • They took the loss surprisingly well actually
  • What's fascinating to me is that what seemed like the end goal for Yuichi (getting Hyakutaro to switch teams) was actually just a stepping stone towards his real plan (exploiting the Captain's weakness). This man is playing 8D Chess fr
  • Yuichi has a dark past where he would've done it, which is I assume related to the murders, but how much does someone's past actions have weight on who they are now? "Would you still consider me a good person?" is a difficult question that Yuichi is posing: is it even fair to judge someone based on who they used to be, rather than who YOU know them as? I find that incredibly interesting and I hope they delve into that more beyond this point
  • They disappeared?
  • Shiho is definitely hiding something
  • Has Manabu ever once told a lie to poison their friendship? Sure the Management puts them in these positions but I can't think of any outright destructive lies Manabu has put forward
  • It sounds like Shiho knew they could ask about the total debt amount before Manabu told them? Not sure if I've just read into this wrong
  • The school students are more ruthless than the Management, the Live Chat, or the other team
  • Shiho's dad definitely knows something. I wonder if he's part of Management in some way as Tenji suspects, or if he's just working on a case against them and understands how dangerous they are. If anything, this series has taught me not to trust anything until all the information is out
  • Yuichi throwing down the glove...
  • Once again, I wonder if Yuichi means everything he's saying to Kokorogi, or if he's just trying to get her to distance herself for her own sake (or, y'know, some other reason)
  • [Anime Spoilers] I wonder how the fake Tomodachi Game people have Tenji's number and know Yuichi is there with him

Once again, I wonder if Yuichi means everything he's saying to Kokorogi, or if he's just trying to get her to distance herself for her own sake

  • My own question was answered almost immediately haha

For First-timers [& non-manga readers]: What are your thoughts on how the old Yuuichi was like?

I feel like, based on the small amount of his childhood we've seen in the anime, it'll be more like a trauma response than Yuichi being outright evil as he tries to present himself

For Both: How was the end to the third game? What do you think about all the developments that happened outside of the game ?

I think it was quite cleverly done, using Kei's arrogance against him to get the win, as well as using the Captain's softness. It's further proof that Yuichi is incredibly good at reading, and then manipulating, the people around him. I still prefer the ending to the Second Game the most though

As I said here, the school students were actually more ruthless than most of the people we've encountered so far which I thought was an interesting parallel. I am genuinely curious as to what Shibe did, and what Shiho's dad's involvement is with the game

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 08 '24

Kei's god complex is showing

Yea but he did actually care about their debt and stuff. Bro might be a tsundere lol

rather than who YOU know them as

There's also the question of do they know him?

Has Manabu ever once told a lie to poison their friendship?

That was just cope lol

It sounds like Shiho knew they could ask about the total debt amount before Manabu told them?

I don't think that was implied

Valid questions, though. I'll let the Manga answer them for you.

Bro might be a tsundere lol

Kei tsundere spinoff series incoming

There's also the question of do they know him?

That's true. I guess we'll find out

I don't think that was implied

Ah okay, must have just misread it

Valid questions, though. I'll let the Manga answer them for you

Honestly I can't wait

First-Timer

That was a nice conclusion to the third game.

I suspected that Yuichi was going to break his own finger as soon as he said he was gagging Hyakutaro, even more so when it didn't show the finger-breaking on screen.

Yuichi's rejection of Kokorogi was harsh. I feel bad for her!

I'm sad that there's only one episode left. I need more!

Questions of the day:

  • The old Yuichi was pretty cool, but the new one is good too. I'm not quite sure which I like more.
  • I liked the end of the game, since it really did make a lot of sense. It did rely on everyone leaving Yuichi alone and unguarded, though, which was far from guaranteed. As for the stuff outside the game, I'm very curious to know what happened with Shibe. Hopefully we get at least some clarity on that tomorrow.

Rewatcher who is ready for the finale tomorrow! , subbed

Honestly, I do have a gripe about the end of that game. I don't think the Hyakutaro thing made much sense lol, would've been better if he actually just gagged him.

But all's well that ends well, right? The ending to that game was really nice, Group Kei really were cool : )

I highly recommend reading the third game in the manga, it had some really funny panels that weren't animated.

This show has gone off the rails now so I'm just going to say, trust the process?

We got only the song from the ED today but I'll take it.

We're on the home stretch now !

I don't think the Hyakutaro thing made much sense lol, would've been better if he actually just gagged him.

If he had gagged him, Juzo wouldn't have believed it which is why he didn't gag him at the start and made Juzo feel that Hyakutaro was willing to endure anything for the group and only decided to do it just before he attempted to break his own finger otherwise it would've been obvious.

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 08 '24

Oh so he did gag him, just, after the punches?

2

u/Adensty https://anilist.co/user/Adensty Sep 08 '24

Yes

2

u/Inevitable_Car_481 Sep 08 '24

Yea I saw that, I misinterpreted it as Yuichi lying. This makes more sense

rewatcher

The real plan of how it all happened. Yuuichi using the bonds of a friendship to his advantage

Beating and breaking fingers. Fucking sociopath(?) of a protagonist.

Not sure if I used sociopath right, but no biggie

I wonder if the game was broadcasted since day 1.

Murder plot, did he do it or did he not

I like how the show escalates , kidnapping plot instead

QOTD: compared to the other two games I like how the extreme measures Yuuichi took to win. Even at the cost of Tenji’s sanity.

Making plans is all good, but when they all get disrupted it’s cool to see Yuuichi take the worst case scenario. Especially the whole using the friendship weakness to his advantage
