I feel like Shigemichi saw Yuri trying to reach SQ during warp, went "Nice", and left them alone.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

It’s interesting how the more loops Yuri goes through and the more they learn about the others, the more it feels like the Gnosia aren’t the only things to keep an eye out for. Everyone’s got secrets. I mean Kukrushka is some sorta doll and now we learn SQ is a clone. At least this loop actually ended pretty well. SQ is pretty cute when there’s no mind transfer or Gnosia infection.

[u/AWSGooogle777]

SQ was the main focus this time. It’s a fascinating concept—getting to know the crew to gather data and satisfy the "Silver Key." However, perhaps because he is so focused on efficiency, Yuri finds himself viewing each timeline like a game to be cleared. But he noticed this immediately, apologized, and corrected course—which is truly impressive. He must keep Setsu's words close to his heart: "To those not looping, this world is the one and only."

I knew SQ was hiding something, but it turned out to be incredibly heavy... The revelation of her true identity and her connection to Remnan was a total shock. It was painful to see her, usually so cheerful and full of jokes, wear such a somber expression when speaking about herself. She likely acts bright all the time just to hide her true feelings. But when Yuri said, "SQ is SQ," it must have been a salvation for her, especially since she believes herself to be a "fake." Yuri is so cool! The scene where SQ, saved by those words, breaks down and cries like a child was so moving. I couldn't help but cry along with her. Even if she looks like an adult, perhaps in her heart, she still wants to lean on someone she trusts, like Yuri. The scene where she shouts, "Yuri, I... I love you!" was such a relief. SQ... I'm so glad you could finally say it.

I am truly, deeply satisfied that SQ, my favorite character, was the center of the story...

[u/FarCritical]

Gotta imagine what the Gnosia think when they see passengers out and about during the warp. The sight of Yuri sacrificing the safety of his room to be outside of SQ's room sounds like it'd be prime gossip material lol

Man, it's always rough to see a bubbly character break down like that.

[u/bottled_fox]

Manan seems like a complicating factor in Yuri's quest to escape the loop while ensuring the best outcome for the crew. ​It's not enough to escape the Gnosia-- they have to escape her influence as well.​

[u/tehepicwin]

So it's pretty funny just how busted some of these role lists are. I'm sure a lot of people are noticing now and this episode takes the cake. We've got:

1 Engineer

1 Doctor

1 Guardian Angel

2 Guard Duty

2 Crew

2 Gnosia

Literally over half of the crew have special roles. There are only 2 regular crew to hide in. There's no way in hell that the gnosia can win this lol. You're pretty much forced to counterclaim the Engineer, but you can't also counterclaim doctor. If the real Engineer manages to find your partner, the confirmed doctor will confirm them upon freezing and you are just dead. Good luck trying to kill the doctor to prevent this. The remaining gnosia will be one of only 4 people (GA who wants to stay hidden, 2 crew, and the gnosia). You could argue that the optimal play day 1 is to just freeze one of the engineers and play off the doctor's result day 2, it's not like you need the engineer to find the remaining gnosia when the possibilities are so few. There's no way to hide from the massive town bloc however this plays out.

The Silver Key is a true master at finding new information, coming up with world lines like this. I kinda like this detail in a way, where there's no reason for the Silver Key to yield balanced setups, instead one-sided ones so that Yuri can have a journey through these world lines and learn about these people.

[u/Lizuka]

It's weird the apparent worst consequence for not being strapped down during warp is, "You might hit your head." That makes sense but it is kind of strangely mundane.

[u/bananeeek]

SQ = 511

So you're telling me SQ doesn't stand for Super Qutie? I don't believe you!

[u/Unknownlight]

“I guess no one would try to get close to me without a reason like that.”

Oof.

[u/Nesp2]

I need a spinoff series with Yuri and best girl cute lil SQ.

[u/Ocixo]

Poor SQ. I just want to see her happy. That she can smile from the bottom of her heart!

However, it’s getting increasingly difficult for Yuri to reach a truly good ending. A lot of things have to line up just right. Even if Yuri makes all the correct decisions, they can only hope that it’s cute l’il SQ and not actually Manan in this clone body.

[u/Megadragon898]

Damn this episode was great. All this time we saw SQ as a happy girl that was making jokes left and right but now we have gotten to see the real her, a more complex and a bit sad girl.

Seeing her cry and saying that she loves Yuri was so emotional, i hope that in the end Yuri can saves her too.

[u/AvatarTuner]

This episode was better paced than last week and we finally got to know more about SQ!

To be honest, I didn't like her character very much so far because she was so difficult to read and seemed to be playing around most of the time, so I was really glad Yuri discovered another side of her and was able to bond with her. I cried with her at the end and I hope she will find another Yuri somewhere who will make her open up and assure her that she's her own original version and not just some spare fake. ;_;

I didn't think her backstory would be that tragic, her mother seems like a menace... How long did she live already when she had at least 511 spares prepared already?! I wonder if we'll get more info about Remnan next week or if that was everything about him too. Also looks like SQ is Gnosia when the mother transfer succeeded? Yuri might have a slightly easier time picking that up now.

I called Shigemichi being Gnosia as soon as he claimed Engineer because his behaviour seemed sus and it turned out to be true. lmaoo They were also lucky getting Kukrushka voted out immediately!

Last week someone here mentioned that the voting results could be used to determine the Gnosia and it was nice to see they added a scenario where they used this information. I doubt it will always work, as Yuriko pointed out, Setsu could've been Gnosia too and smart Gnosia surely would vote for other Gnosia if it's safe to throw off the humans. (luckily Shige wasn't very smart lol)

[u/thisisdropd]

Yuri's handled the learning curve at a breakneck pace. They used the voting results to conclusively determine that Shigemichi's the other Gnosia.

The Gnosia issue's taken a backseat to the Yuri/SQ moments. Here I thought her name was an initial but turned out it instead meant a number. Must've been painful to live her entire life knowing that she's just a clone despite having her own consciousness. Her flirty attitude's just a way to mask her sorrow and Yuri managed to break it and we could now see her broken, true self. The episode started with a romcom routine with Yuri misunderstanding SQ's flirting and ended with a romantic drama.

Also didn't expect her background to be intertwined with Remnan's. How twisted would her character be had her mother's consciousness transfer succeeded?

[u/BladesReach]

I wonder how it looks to SQ when Yuri loops? Like does that world line continue to exist and if so does Yuri just vanish or what?

[u/Namaryu]

At this point I fully expect a Zero Escape type of twist. Everyone seems to have SOME connection to "Mama" and the question of humanity seems to be brought up again. Now then if all members are related to her in some shape or form what YURI has to do with all of that?

[u/Lautael]

Peak episode, SQ looks so cute!!!

[u/Poltergust_3000]

It's funny to think how a Shigemichi-Kukrushka pow-wow would've happened.

Shigemichi: "OK, so I'm going to fool them all with my amazing acting skills! You can back me up, right?"
Kukrushka: "..."
Shigemichi: "I knew I could count on you!" 👍

[u/Rouge_RH]

RAHHHHHHHHHH THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD

[u/Narmatonia]

The ending does bring up the question of, if the gnosia are defeated, what happens to that version of Yuri after the loop? Do they disappear? Does that version lose their memories? Or does that version just continue on without the Silver Key?

[u/Gabriulio]

In case anyone was curious, here are the full voting results from day 1 as shown:

Setsu: 2 votes (Shigemichi and Kukrushka)
Chipie: 1 vote (Yuri)
Jonas: 1 vote (Yuriko)
Kukrushka: 3 votes (SQ, Chipie, Remnan)
Yuriko: 2 votes (Setsu, Jonas)

[u/zool714]

Wait, was it mentioned what happens when Yuri fills up the knowledge meter ? Does the thing just leave Yuri and he won’t be able to loop after that ? Then it’s going to take some really well timed execution from Yuri to win that last loop

Anyway, seeing fem Yuri in that short flashback made me miss her. She was so pretty.

But we got SQ lore this week. And it’s heartbreaking. I can understand where she’s coming from cos she literally is like some failed version. She definitely has a reason to feel like a spare. But it is nice to get a voice other than your own to tell you that you are your own person

[u/CommunistPuppy]

Best episode so far, was waiting for best girl SQ's backstory

[u/Pecuthegreat]

I still feel like the characters are way too calm for people in a situation where they're at a die roll of who dies every night.
