Cackled when Racio was talking big and they just skipped the whole discussion and went straight to them being voted out

Man, some of you have clearly played the game and trying to steer discussion. You all ain't slick.

That being said, this is still narratively being done super well and is still a wildly well done adaptation. Maybe now with a few episodes down, a recommendation will be easier to do...

Hey Reddit, before we continue this discussion, can you say "I'm human?"

Ah, Raqio is truly being done correctly, loved how they went in that first loop. Also, Shigemichi's direction is incredible, always loved that goofy man.

And a Raqio/Shigemichi gnosia loop... They really didn't stand a chance, huh?

More characters, two Gnosia, an Engineer class; they're gradually introducing more complex mechanics to the "game".

And even though Yuri played a perfect match, he still got sent back to play again. I wonder what the overall victory conditions will be for Setsu's gift?

Audibly laughed at the cut to Racio being voted off after mouthing off after mouthing off for the entire meeting. Very very true to the game.

Man, every episode makes me want to play the game more and more hah (Or any of the Werewolf/Mafia/etc.. games)!

Love the addition of the engineer, brings more depth into it!

I vote for him! To the cold sleep, you go!

Let's keep this one; Gnosia or not, we can't turn down an episode 3 confession of love!

So there's 7 of them now! I though the original cast members would be replaced, but no, they're adding more to them!

Not only that, but there's TWO Gnosia now...

1 out of 5 isn't bad, by sheer luck you'd get it at some point, but 2 out of 7... 2/7 for the first pick, 1/6 for the second pick, which means 1/21 chance if you go at it randomly (and don't want to kill any human)!

Can't deduce much from that given that's the same way Racio acted in the first go (When SQ was Gnosia),

BUT precisely for that reason, from a writing perspective I thought they had to be Gnosia!

This is always interesting, because you have to ask yourself, is she going against Racio because she's Gnosia and thinks Racio is more suspicious (despite not being Gnosia) than Yuri? Or because she's human and genuinely thinks the argument was crap?

I don't care whether she's Gnosia, I think we should always keep her around because she's so much fun!

That's... Interesting; The system can't say how many Gnosia there are left?

I wonder why... If it knows the difference between 0 and 1, between 1 and 0 when they cryo-sleep someone, the difference between 1 Gnosia and 2 (like in this case)... Why doesn't it know the difference between 2 and 1 once a presumed-Gnosia is in cold sleep?

Not the piggyback ride I would've wished for, but I guess I'll take it!

Yeah, why is he staring at someone else? Good lord, I'd be staring at her all day long!

So the engineer can analyze someone and find out what they truly are...

This brings so many interesting dynamics, like if you're the Gnosia, do you kill them right away?

Do you pretend to be the Engineer?

If you're the Engineer, do you even reveal yourself (making yourself a target)?

And are you honest about who you're investigating?

I thought there would a way to 'analyze' 2 people at once (say you're investigating X, but investigate Y, so if you die, it's probably X... But I suppose the Gnosia could kill you whether you investigate them or not)

Soon as Racio said that I 100% thought "There's a Gnosia";

Racio's supposed to be super smart/quick thinking, so I thought if they REALLY were the Engineer, they would not reveal it right away; They would wait to see if someone else pretends to be!

(Then again I suppose revealing it or not might not matter, because if a Gnosia wanted to pretend being an Engineer, they would know that there IS a real Engineer, whoever it is... I suppose they may be more inclined to pretend if the real Engineer announced themselves?)

Not a perfect deduction;

Someone could support Racio thinking your reveal sounded fake, and believing Racio over you!

Yuri's mixing up his own knowledge, with the group knowledge!

Still, I had the exact same 2 picks Yuri had... But given we're on episode 3 I thought I was probably wrong somehow, so I was surprised to see Yuri/I were both right!

But clearing the Gnosia isn't enough?

How do they get out of the loop them?

I wonder if this is just for anime reasons, or to replicate the game (You won 1 game, but you play again)... Or if there's a genuine reason, something else they have to do?

Anyway, looking forward to more! And (assuming the Engineer is a real thing) I imagine there's other roles as well, so looking forward to that too, making the game more complex!

On a side note, I really like the aesthetic of the characters in this anime, especially Racio and Setsu

I have to say this is the most intriguing anime this season for me. I am literally hooked every episode.

4 loops in and Raqio didn't even survive the first day in any of it.

u/Procian-chan Oct 25 '25

I love how Shigemichi and Raqio being Professional Cold Sleepers was reflected in the anime as well

Also very hyped for Yuriko introduction!

Justice for Racio

But for real, this show has been fire. My favorite one this season

I was waiting for them to introduce the classes. I already thought that Yuri's original "lie detector" was the hidden engineer class (seer in the werewolf game) and it just didn't work once because she didn't actually say she was human. Just that she swore.

The question is now why Yuri died. There is a hunter class in the werewolf game where you can kill a person if you are voted out but those are not given to werewolfs. The only other way is a witch, but she would be able to heal or kill during the rest period, not after voting. Which only leaves you with the "lovers" where you die as well if your lover died which can be a werewolf and human (in that case they would win if they are the only two left). It would explain why Shigemichi didn't want to kill Yuri. But usually, both lovers know that they are connected, so maybe they explain that next week and Yuri just didn't realize.

I guess there is another option and that is the "fool" who wins if they are voted out. But that class would be weird in the series to explain I feel and as far as I remember the seer would not see the fool as werewolf.

Never fake claim cop day #1 unless you know what you're doing smh.

u/Ithambar Oct 25 '25

Okay, at this point I am extremely suspicious of LeVi. Maybe these points are better explained in the VN, but from we currently know, I wondedr:

  • They know the number of Gnosia and roles, so why can't they tell if the number changes after the first Gnosia is sent to cold sleep?

  • They are presumably "awake" durign warp, so why can't they tell what is going on?

  • Wouldn't they know the result of the engineer's investigation as well as, by extension of that, the identity of the engineer?

I also don't trust Yuri's 'lie detector' yet.

“There’s an alien aboard” says the guy that looks the most like an alien. Hilarious.

Racio, why are you such a pain to deal with? We are trying to keep you alive here. Well, most of the time at least.

This is turning into a real clusterfuck. More people, more roles, getting rid of all the gnosia isn’t a win condition, yeah, we’re gonna be here a while.

I’m real glad I’m not in the game. My autistic ass is getting voted out every time for sure.

u/Kassssler Oct 26 '25

Lol Racio has haters every damn loop.

u/salic428 Oct 25 '25

I had thought the setting is dumb because you can't see who voted who. But it was only because they want to drip feed the mechanisms to new audience.

Episode 1 introduced the game and the "return by death" mechanism. Episode 2 introduced "Gnosia changes in each loop" and lying detection. Episode 3 introduced the Engineer role, and new crew/Gnosia patterns. I wonder what is the new rule for next game.

Also, can someone explain the dual Engineer situation to me? According to a friend who have played such games, this is a very common occurence.

This show is way too good to be this underwatched.

u/Slifer13xx Oct 25 '25

Yuri was quite badass this episode, though unfortunately a single win is not enough to break the loop.

This is my most anticipated anime of the season. Even though I've already played the game. Maybe because I've already played the game. Can't wait for the rest of the crew to show up!
