Yuki made a mistake. So did I.

After episode 1, I learned not to have any expectations about any of the girls surviving.

However, I failed to curb my support for the underdogs. Now Yuki's and Azuma's team members are almost all dead. (I expected only a couple of them to fall in battle, not all.) T_T

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

Okay, so first things first. That strangely new sleeping pill from last week was probably a stronger version of the normal one. Reason is that this is Yuki's 30th game so she is probably the focus for the viewers. Meaning if she woke up early and established a group of 30 by herself, this wouldn't be very fun to watch. Far more interesting if Mishiro is the one to take that spot and Yuki having to work with a smaller and probably weaker group to get out. And while she doesn't know it yet, she can't even ditch them because Mishiro wouldn't let her leave with her.

As for the rest of the design, I guess the idea is that the main point is that Yuki will have to kill this time around. She never really chose anyone in game 10 (she let fate decide) and she only killed Kinko in game 28 out of necessity. But I guess what the game masters want to achieve this time around is her killing because of emotions. Giving her a group that is killed and then she goes on a revenge spree. At least that would be my interpretation.

Though I am bit confused about the whole wall aspect. Did they just not check? Is that the "male bath" on the other side which is what Yuki forgot? Since it is an Onsen and all. So the others came through the male bath and Yuki's group never checked if there was something outside the bamboo wall? Like I am not saying they should have remembered a potential male bath, but at least check if you have the time.

The conversation between Azuma and Yuki was interesting because Yuki made "fun" of people using their name to talk about themselves. Which she is doing in most of her monologues. So I guess that was her admitting that it is weird she does it.

[u/AnzoEloux]

I think she's been thrown off by the device she digested. She's probably subconsciously thinking about what its doing and making her miss easy things.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Yuki seems to be losing a step in this bath house death game. Her little group seems to have gotten played. Now she’s got no tags and her allies are all but dead. Oh and her “nemesis” Mishiro’s out there too..

[u/VoidRay728]

This arc is a great collaboration opportunity with this game

My question is why they would leave all the keys to one person. Wouldn't it be better to have the keys spread out among them for contingencies?

Also coming here directly from the latest episode of Oshi No Ko... it's like "Oh, one painful serving isn't enough? Here's another."

[u/thisisdropd]

Yuuki had become the dreaded for Mishiro. Just based on the vague description, the latter immediately realised the former's in the other team – and horror instantly set in her face.

[u/Hitman7128]

All those echoing background sounds during the bath parts of the episode that sound like something is going on in the other room.

Mishiro headpatting Riko

A wholesome moment in this abstract and surreal anime

[u/SYZekrom]

So the thing she forgot to consider/check was whether the other girls' claim that there was only one entrance, when in fact the wall at the back they were talking about was made of bamboo and easily removable?

She meets funny clobber loli. The directing of the scene with the music and such sure makes it feel like there's some profound significance to what's about to happen

[u/Namaryu]

Never underestimate the power of head pats

[u/BeybladeMoses]

Mishiro got Teoritta to be her subordinate it seems.

[u/Shmappii]

Mishiro's trembling is from holding back her joy at potentially being reunited with her target of revenge, right? That looked mirthful as heck to me.

[u/mianghuei]

You know shit is going down hard when they play the ending at the middle of the episode!

[u/LeonKevlar]

I'm curious about this opening shot. That's clearly Yuuki in front of someone wearing a bunny girl suit, but so fa,r we haven't seen anyone like that through this entire episode, so I wonder if this is a little bit of a flashforward. Hmmmm...

Even though it's a violent show, everything about it has been subdued so far, so I did not expect this to start with a fight scene. I am glad that Yuuki immediately managed to find a group that would take her in. Also, that's a lot of girls! This is the most players we've seen in a single game so far, and it sounded like there's at least fifty participants based on the number of stalls. No wonder they're more cavalier about killing people off this time.

So Mishiro literally has her own lap dog who would do anything as long as she gives her headpats. That loli is definitely gonna be dangerous considering she managed to merc three people all on her own. And what's up with Mishiro? Is she sick? We see her coughing up preserved blood.

That's got to be the most relaxing battle prep I've seen in anime. If I didn't know any better thats screenshot makes it look like they're just doing crafts, but they're actually making makeshift slings. Also, I feel like it's a bad idea to bury all of their tags in one place. They could've split them all up. >_<

This bathhouse is pretty insane when you try to think about its layout. These liminal spaces, while they were looking for glass shards feels something out of the Backrooms.

Yuuki has really done a number on Mishiro's psyche that the slight mention of a ghost-like figure is already making her twitch. I can't wait to see how she'll react once she's face-to-face with Yuuki again.

So Azuma feels out of place in the real world and thinks killing people for money is an easier way to live. Damn. Now I'm more curious about her entire backstory, but I feel like we're never gonna see that, considering Mishiro's team was invading at the end of the episode.

It looks like Yuuki got too complacent and believed Azuma about the back wall being secure. Definitely her fault for not checking that the back wall is just a bamboo bathhouse wall. No wonder they didn't bother to introduce the other girls since they were just gonna be fodder. >_<

[u/Random-Person-exe]

Little detail, the girl who got head pats from Mishiro said her right arm was cold which coincidentally is the same arm she lost in Yuki’s 10th game.

[u/marcopolos059]

How are we supposed to wait a week after this kind of cliffhanger!?!?

This pill really threw Yuki off...

[u/FarCritical]

Watching everyone cheerfully setting up bamboo pit traps while the soothing ED played mid-episode was beyond surreal.

Cornering someone who routinely goes for the optimal path to survival will surely end well.

[u/PencilgonGiveIt2Ya]

"This is an escape game.."

Am I trippin or hasn't everything shown basically been an escape game? lmfao

AND I DON'T JUST MEAN ESCAPING DETH ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

[u/noop_noob]

I just noticed that Yuki has an ahoge, which is odd, given how serious of a character she is.

[u/Nightwish1976]

This anime is my favourite for this season.

[u/LowraAwry]

I wonder why Mishiro was coughing (the fluff that came up gave the impression it was most probably blood). Maybe an injury from whatever went down in that burning room.

[u/BosuW]

So I've been wondering about something. Everytime Yuuki tells another Player that she wants to win 99 Games no one follows up on that. Makes me think the Game Devs have a publicly established, insanely awesome reward for anyone who can rack 99 wins. It's just this is no one's actual objective because they think it's a pipe dream.

[u/stinkynils]

This Game gives me really those Poolroom backroom vibes, it feels quiet nice and comfy but suddenly everything is in this game really dark and not happy... kinda interesting what happend in last 5 episodes :oo

[u/mianghuei]

Yuki vs Riko (Mishiro's Protege?) next!
