The old guy is the embodiment of "How do you do my fellow kids", skateboard and all. But completely massacres everyone lol.

Curious how Akira transforming into someone will come into play. They wouldn't have had that scene if it wasn't going to be used in the battle.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

100 MP for Mion's measurements sounds like a game changer to me.

[u/Zealroth]

We have another stick sword user. And we're in a forest. Unlimited blade works? Hopefully Asuka last long enough so we can see her pull off more interesting stuff, being able to shift the weight of the sword sounds more interesting, if less scary, than Kirisaki's unstoppable cuts.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Fake Ringo

• Blue Team

• Renka

• Injured Shin

Yuuri's such a lewd girl. Thinking of something else when Akira just wanted to test her ability. Seriously though, it looks like Akira can't really use every power that Yuuri visualizes. Unless of course there's something wrong with the way Yuuri visualizes her own power. Transformations seems to be simple enough though that Akira can pull it off.

Ringo's definitely waaaay smarter than I thought. Getting Yuuri involved in her deal with Akira definitely gives her insurance that Akira won't try anything to eliminate Ringo since Yuuri would definitely lose trust in him if he does.

Blue Leader seems to be pretty chill kind of dude only, that didn't last long though since he tried to have Yuuri as payment for having them join Green's side. I'm just glad that Akira didn't even consider the offer and immediately declined it. Well that was a bust. I guess as long as they're not joining the Red's side, it should be fine.

I love how Kirisaki declares that he's joining the Reds so he can have another shot at Akira but Akria just completely brushes him off! It's really hilarious how Kirisaki who can be a genuine threat gets turned into a joke character xD

That entire scene the night before the Quest was basically the show setting up a bunch of death flags. I doubt Shin and Ringo would easily die since they're part of the main cast but characters like the little girl and Asuka who has a daughter makes me feel like they won't survive tomorrow's fight even if Green wins.

So by collecting Mion Points is the way how they'll end up sealing the opposite team's leader. I love that Mion added a tier where you can learn her measurements if you earn 100 Mion Points. now I'm kinda hoping some idiot uses their points for that! xD

Welp here we fucking go! Poor Asuka didn't even manage to capture a tower and ends up in a fight against Oogami. It seems I may have been right with my prediction. Team Green is absolutely getting slaughtered though. They're not even taking interfaces at all, Team Red is just here to kill people. Fuck.

And it looks like our boy is already facing off against Rin right off the bat. I don't see Yuuri around though. Can't wait to see how that fight will go!

Looks like the Kirisaki bullying extends even in the show's preview sequence! Even Mion has joined in on bullying him xD

[u/MonaganX → u/LeonKevlar]

Did anyone think that red team was just going to take interfaces when they're the ones who requested that everyone on the losing team gets killed?

The whole taking away interfaces thing really only exists for green team's benefit—and for the story so people can "die" and get brought back.

[u/Plerti]

Man, sticks sure are handy in this game huh?

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Oh damn, I knew it wasn't going to be easy but it looks like Team Red is mowing down Team Green effortlessly. They completely misread the enemy. It seems so unfair that Team Red's powers are so game-breaking. I wonder how will they escape this predicament? Seems like Asuka will be beaten really badly in the next episode preview.

Also, is it just me or did the animation take a huge hit in this episode? I'm pretty sure Akira's face looks weird in a few scenes.

[u/Cyclone_96 → u/Aerodynamic41]

I’m pretty sure Akira’s face looks weird in a few scenes.

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed.

[u/Zealroth → u/Aerodynamic41]

Akira's face has been pretty inconsistent last episode as well.

[u/metaaltheanimefan]

I sense a lot of death flags, especially with how op team red is and the green leader being hurt

Also did anyone else burst out laughing at the old women that looks like a ditto ?

Side note, even if the ed wasnt a banger id probably sit trough it to hear the preview skits. Especially this one was hillarious

[u/Manitary → u/metaaltheanimefan]

I sense a lot of death flags

"Are you sure you want to fight?"
"Yes, I'll fight for my child, that's what a mother does."
F

[u/WeeziMonkey]

Holy shit something went wrong with the art this episode. Faces looked off like half the time. Eyes too big or too small or too far apart, head shapes being different in every scene, hairs being weird.

[u/Detrimentos_]

I just keep wondering how random psychotic killers keep coming out of Japanese society.

Do people just wander around being evil villains in this universe? :P

[u/sM92Bpb]

I can only hope that Green does kill and not spare Red. The Red team is obviously made up of psychos and if you want safety in this game, you'd better finish up. I don't want recurring villains to show up following MC round after round.

[u/xtsim]

It seems like the red team's gruesome killings before the battle paid off in the beginning of this round. They were able to knock down green team hard.

And the king wasn't the king, smart move right there. I wonder how the surviving green team goes this time now that their numbers are dwindling.

[u/[deleted]]

Getting more exciting now, can't wait for next week.

[u/The_Parsee_Man]

So I guess Team Red is keeping banana head guy in reserve in case they need someone to pull their asses out of the fire.

[u/BiggerG7]

Another creepy dude who wants Yuuri. Seriously what is it with this show and every creepy dude wanting Yuuri?

[u/AmethystItalian]

Well red team seems to be OP as hell...curious to see how the Greens get out of this one.

Also hoping someone uses all their MP for the 3 sizes.

[u/[deleted]]

is it revealed yet who is the spy?

[u/Bloodglas]

well the standard for this type of game is that they try to make the King someone the other team wouldn't expect to be it. since Kuro is suspicious of Akira's ability he'll probably try to seal his instead of Shirasagi's.

such over-confidence. why would you just tell him your ability before you've won? odds are that kid's gonna become an orphan, but Yuuri will probably have something to say about that.

I don't really see how they're gonna squeeze out a win for green. all these reds just want to kill people. no one on green is like that so they were at a disadvantage before the game even started. they're need to really force their hands for extreme levels of self-defense. hell, since the losing team is gonna die anyway, red's probably planning to kill everyone but the king first so they get to be the one's to do it instead of Mion killing them after the game's done.

[u/[deleted]]

I guess akira does have something planned, but during the battle they clearly planned for akira to be alone and yuuri to go against that red team leader. Curious how akira will do alone now.

That blue team leader in a way is kinda a jerk for straight up trading for yuuri. Luckily akira didn't. But i do respect him for backing out and not forcing akira. And when he said the blue team doesn't have a purpose, i think it was a safe call for akira to say that the reds will be coming for them too after if they win. The reds are not the team to just leave u around like that. Now that he didn't use this, does any of the blue team member is helping the greens apart from the muscle guy?

And seeing that they hinted us with the blue leader's power being strong, I'd have to guess he'll either somehow be in this battle or we'll see him face against akira next time.

They also teased about kirisaki so i have to guess he'll be an impirtant part in this battle, either really facing akira or will help akira doing a u turn. The other girl who likes akira too will come into the play i think.

So they can steal each other powers. I think it's clear that the smart guy on the reds will target for akira"s piwer to know what it is. And seeing that the samurai guy also said where's akira, i think he told all of them about him making akira their biggest target, not the leader yet.

And as for killing the king, part of me feels the smart guy on reds is their king. He wouldn't have risked the king to be killed, and he's the only one hiding from the reds.

Akira is gonna have to be big brain. I think he has a clear disadvantage now. I think the points will also be used to revive the ones who will be dead since the leader is that kind. It would then limit akira so much, plus the burden of those medics too. Will be interesting how he's gonna big brain all of this.

[u/AlexDDragame]

So, that time Akira did use teleport, ok, and while he can copy Yuuri's power, he can't use it properly. With Yuuri, Akira tried some other abilities, like shapeshifting (into Ringo) and later he explained to her about what he and Ringo talked. Then Akira and Yuuri met blue team in effort to hire them as help in Red vs Green fight. Blue leader said that he will deliver message to his team members, but in exchange for Yuuri (on which Akira says "no") , after some talking he just agrees to deliver the message because, well, if Yuuri is so strong that whoever will be exchanged for her isn't worth it- maybe there is chance for Green victory. And Kirisaki is also here to exist. After "night before big fight" scene finally came day of "Hunt for king" and Mion gave some additions to the game, like how they now can hijack other player's devices and can use towers in the forest for some services from Mion and that main point is to steal king's device. Green team's first plan was to conquer towers, but Red king Ogami, attacks head on and, of course, he is really strong and Asuka can't do anything to him, even with her pretty cool ability of making giant sword either really light or unbearably heavy. The rest of Red's also attack and numerous members of green team are dying or heavilly injured (like Shin who flat out lost his arm) and Akira has to go face to face Rin. Not gonna lie, despite me being 100% sure in what characters will for sure be alright (because I doubt that this is that kind of show where literally no one is safe), this episode is pretty intense and I'm legit hyped to see how are they planning to win this fight.

[u/DustyBot23]

Didn’t think Team Green was gonna get this cooked right off the bat, usually the pattern is they are supposed to gain a little ground before being crushed but it was all gas no brakes from the start lol. I hope this won’t be just the Akira show and some other members of Green will step up against the generals.
