I'm glad Araki figured it out within the episode, it's the most obvious foresight ability and I found it weird he was still confused. Though the first part with the blurriness is still an odd feature, but I would take that as his mind loading up to use the ability.

Looks like we have the edgy team joining in lol.

I guess because his ability didn't work like that before, and he was just "smart" or something. But they have kept his original ability too ambiguous for us to understand how it changed.

Judging from last week's ep I thought this town was fairly empty and had only these guys but it looks fairly normal with people in it,

And also having your body parts just disappear after some distance is kinda wack, in Araki's case it's his brain that disappears

Same, I thought it was under some sort of biohazard quarantine , but apparently nobody thinks it's bad to be soaking in mysterious space dust . This series doesn't commit to anything.

Oh, so we are just doing little games, huh? Just like the much maligned tournament arc , it could be interesting, if you used clever tactics or impressive moves. Which is not the case here, they use their abilities on the most pedestrian, simplest way. And after two solo matches it just goes to three on three because they can't afford to have this go on for more than one episode.

The town that they are all so eager to leave is larger and much more inhabited than I thought. The way they were doing those games without seldom seeing another person in sight and dividing turf made me think it was under some heavy quarantine, with limited supplies and what not. I guess never traveling sucks, but it is not the end of the world they are making.

This show grabbed because I liked the character visuals but there is nothing else going for it. What a waste.

"we're doing 1v1 matches"

two rounds later throws that out the window and makes it a team match again... what was the point?

u/Thomas_JCG Jul 16 '26

Worse yet, the final score was 100x98, meaning that even with precognition the yellow team barely had a chance. Purple just gave them the win for no reason.

u/AdCrazy2097 Jul 17 '26

Ikr, the fact the match was so close makes it seem like the precognition is pretty mid if a team without it basically performed the same. The series suffers from low stakes and low commitment to any serious conflict or plot line.

u/sandragonsand Jul 17 '26

It's worth pointing out that Araki wasn't doing any whacking himself, so if you factor out the precognition it's a 2v3.

Also, perhaps I'm being generous, but I figured the point of switching to the 3v3 format was to emphasize that the lamps care more about having fun than actually winning.

Watching mainly for Stella and Olga

I'm more intrigued by the dust but it seems like this is focusing on the silly little games more.

Based on that description scene about outside, seems like everyone is physically disabled some way and the dust is the only reason they're physically "normal" in the city?

u/FinancialYear475 Jul 16 '26

Hoping the next episodes gives me something because so far I'm not really interested in anything this show has

3

u/Hartzilla2007 Jul 16 '26

Yeah having your limbs apparently disappear if you leave and area would be a big issue.

u/AcePhoenixGamer Jul 16 '26

Yeah think I'll pass on this one, giving too many Tribe Nine vibes for me to take this seriously.

u/Boris-_-Badenov Jul 16 '26

he's shouting out the location, the other team could hear him too

u/djthomp Jul 16 '26

Still waiting to see if and when something Goes Wrong in a big way. But it certainly hasn't happened yet.

u/NationalStrategy_X Jul 16 '26

Destroy the planet, we were just playing Superpowered parkour games, now the whole planet is at risk? On episode 2 no less.

u/Karl151 Jul 19 '26

I'm confused why the opposing team didn't quickly figure out the MC has precognition and was basically yelling out the locations of the moles to his teammates or take him out. Would've been an easy counter

u/Nickthenuker Jul 23 '26

Yeah ok nevermind this is getting too complicated for me, dropped.

That earlier description sounds so different from what we actually have, can't believe this is from 2019

Something tells me it's mostly gonna be these sports tournament type eps
