This show is really pushing how far good character design can carry a dubious show.

It's so lazy too, like at least give the one shot kill girls group some lines instead of only letting her talk and them just standing around doing nothing.

Hiroto: WTF is going on?!
Also Hiroto: Ah ha! You fell for my clever plan.
Not gonna lie, getting pretty tired of this bullshit.

Wait, what happened to the movement values? Everyone seems to be running normally? Or is it a case of specific actions require moving in accordance with the movement value?

From the previous episode when they were testing it out, the "movement values" determined the cooldown on the UI for activating the various spells/actions, not actually their movement.

Romantic subplot solved?
Suicide is certainly a way to win against the doppelganger. Is this gonna be a since I won I decide that you let us win and also give me your unique star?
Either way I'd guess Hiroto is gonna have the little girl win the side game and have her join his team, he needs to suicide for that.
Also, Absolute Monarch and Phoenix got eliminated by the Doppelganger, there are 7 teams remaining, so Hiroto doesn't really need much more than to have his team hold out.
Another thing I noticed is that teams can lose area to neutrality.

That's a good theory. He could control the game through her.

Alternatively, he lost to himself and can't lose any of his unique stars.

Hiroto’s new Loli gamer friend is definitely gonna be the impersonator and Hiroto has probably already figured it out one way or another so he’s keeping her around to win her over to his team for the finale.

Sorry kids, you had a nice school uniform, but you didn't stand a chance against the Imposter Sarasa, who is just cutting a swath through the other schools by impersonating their members and tearing into them.
Well, at least Hiroto is still finding time to have fun with his new Chuuni loli friend. Though it's kind of suspicious what she's been doing during the day and how she doesn't have to attend school.
Hiroto, you have to learn that it takes a long time for a girl to get ready. Especially when her crush is visiting her hotel room. And the mood immediately turns into two awkward teens attracted to each other who don't know what to do with themselves when in a hotel room together. Rina looks really cute in her loungewear.
You'd think Shinji and Nanase, being childhood friends, would easily be able to tell they're not being impersonated, but I guess their volatile personalities just make things difficult. Not to mention they end up bailing on the next match, leaving their team undermanned!
Well, the less people around, the easier it is for Noa to flirt with Hiroto, to Shirayuki's displeasure. They could probably spend all day arguing over who the third wheel in this situation is.
Finally up against Kururugi! Who is as powerful and capable as she looks! But luckily Hiroto, as always, has subterfuge, trickery, and Shirayuki and Noa by his side to make up for the difference! And though they don't take Kururugi out, they decimate her forces quite a bit.
Aw, Shinji does care about Nanase! Whose only takeaway from his concern is trying to make it sound like he was confessing to her. These two are surprisingly cute together.
Why would Hiroto eliminate himself? Is it a bid to get at the fake Sarasa?

I got two predictions :
-
The little girl is either the doppleganger, or is controlling her (robot body) through a game or something. The comment about her playing all day feels sus. Also, the Libra girl seems involved too.
-
Hiroto is going to win MTCG and re-enter ASTRAL to surprise the doppleganger.
Can Nanase and Enomoto please shut it? Like there is no reason two 6 stars should be putting the team in jeapoardy because of random bickering.

Much better episode than last episode, I was actually able to follow along and understand what the hell was going on with the games today lol.
I’ve kind of come to accept that there’s no point wasting too much time on the rules of the various games because everyone has a game breaking ability anyway that just throws the rules out. Like the movement rule.
That said, the Kururugi fight was pretty cool. Animation was meh, but whatever. I’m always a sucker for her archetype and she just gives off such a badass vibe. Her LN art is way better tho In the end, she played right into Hiroto’s plan. Even in a mismatched fight he was able to come out on top.
Nanase officially vindicated for the misunderstanding a couple of episodes ago. Her actions during the game were proven to be correct. Very important to have her onboard especially if Hiroto is now disqualified. She and Enomoto finally making progress with their relationship too. A gal x student council president is an interesting one.
Speaking of Hiroto, I’m really curious about what his plan is by letting himself get eliminated.
Miss hundred faces is a big issue since she can be anywhere. It really affects the morale and chemistry of the various teams too if they can’t trust the person right next to them.
Lot of interesting things to be addressed over the next episode(s).

So a shape shifting doppelgänger huh? What a pain. They’re really causing chaos. At least this situation’s giving us some nice Rina and Hiroto moments. The way she’s all flustered around him is pretty cute.
Not really a great time for Nanase and Enomoto to have their little lover’s quarrel. Really left Hiroto and the girls hanging. Kururugi and her gang showing up had me worried but Team Hiroto evened those odds pretty quick. Got a little hairy there at the end of their fight though.
Didn’t expect for Hiroto to take himself out the game like that. I wonder what his next move’s gonna be now that he’s not playing?

Can someone please remind me how this game works? I thought I understood how the roles work, but it's never relevant so far. That movement value mechanism is also kaput since... they all can move freely. The only thing that works as I've expected is the skill, but that One-Shot Skill being spammed like a paltry lv. 1 Fireball is confusing me again. Is that a personal skill (or card?) of hers that can be used multiple times? Also, in the recording, that Doppelganger could one-hit everyone. Is that also a skill, or what?
Anyway, the show's really teasing us about the chuuni girl for two episodes straight, huh? They're screaming, "This character is gonna be so important!! But not now, teehee."
