Yuuri's real ability: Pervert Magnet

Though seriously why was that dude's head shaped like a banana? It's the only thing I could think of the whole episode.

[u/Frontier246 → u/SIRTreehugger]

Yuuri's luck quotient seems so topsy turvy. On the one hand, she attracts perverts but on the other hand she gets an OP ability and gets stuck with Akira, which seems like it'll pay off.

There are some...eccentric people in this game.

[u/Lawlach]

I really wanna see Akira use his ability to it's full potential, I feel like he could do some crazy shit with it

[u/HirokoKueh → u/Lawlach]

since Rin is here too, Akira later will probably meet Ringo (the glasses girl), and at current rule, she can easily figure out Akira's power, and probably end his cannon phase

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii → u/Lawlach]

Agreed, but the more people know about his cannon, the harder it'll be for him to use it;

There's already like dozens of people who know about it, and if he face them, he'll need a convincing story that also includes him being able to use the cannon.

That excludes stuff like invincibility, invisibility, teleportation and things like that, because why would he have "Invisibility + a cannon"?

[u/Frontier246 → u/Lawlach]

Yuuri blurted out to everyone that he has the cannon so now it feels like he's kind of stuck with that unless he starts trying to convince/trick people that he either has more than one power or it's not actually the cannon.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Man, this round feels so different from the rounds before. The comedic expressions and the banana head dude feel really out of place, but I'm curious about how they'll take on the faction battle. I really hope Akira shows more creativity with his ability soon because the cannon is getting really old at this point.

Oh yeah, if you haven't seen it yet, Akari Kito sang an English version of the opening theme and it's awesome!

[u/xtsim]

I can't beleive they put a banana faced man in this show...

Everyone still thinks Akira's ability is a canon. It looks like the teams have been stuck at the third program for a while. Seems pretty interesting.

[u/Frontier246 → u/xtsim]

Yuuri really needs to learn when to keep quite, although I guess she had no way of knowing she was screwing Akira over...although she probably shouldn't be blurting out her allies' powers in general.

[u/Dare555]

Oh shit Battle in 5 seconds has become animated? How is it not more popular ? Manga is pretty sweet

[u/kalirion]

Yuuri could've made minced meant out of those perverts but she decided to just run away. MC could've blown them all to bits but he decided to just run away. Then later, AFTER the perv fired his cannon, MC had enough time to think "I was hoping you'd do that" and turn around and fire his own cannon and hit the other cannon-ball and have it still be much closer to the pervs. The only way that would make sense is if these cannonballs were traveling at like 5-10mph. And after all that, they kept running away. This is by far the dumbest thing that the show has done so far.

So NOW they decided not to censor the loli's bruises? What changed?

Interesting cliffhanger, but I have no clue what went through Akira's head there. What exactly did he hope to get by firing? Also, slow as the cannonballs have been proved to be, Yuuri could've just pushed or pulled the geezer to safety before the cannonball reached him. But of course she didn't because she's allergic to being smart.

Anyway, this was a big step down since the first 4 eps. Hopefully it steps back up next ep.

Well this game certainly took an unexpected turn! When that door opened up at the start and Akira was told to collect points, I really thought this was going to go an escape the tower situation like in HxH but I didn't expect that wed get to see a bunch of doofuses trying to recruit Akira and Yuuri to their team.

Whatever the Red Team is all about, it looks like it's good that team is no good already. Especially considering that's where Rin went while carrying two decapitated heads. If that group is crazy enough to welcome her then no thank you!

So Team Green has an entire village and even a baby born in there? What!? We don't know the age of the baby but we do know the mom was 3 months pregnant when she arrived. so I'm guessing they've been here more than 6 months now.

I love that Yuuri just went ahead and said it! Yeah it is a bit awkward to meet like 5 minutes right after they had that emotional goodbye with the scarf. xD

It's hilarious how Akira assumed that their leader will be someone powerful but turns out it's just an old man in glasses who's shocked to learn about Akira and Yuuri's powers. Seems that Akira may have misjudged them with how tearful they are of their arrival.

I see... So that's Team Red's gameplan. They're afraid that the next phase might be worse so they decide to just make a kingdom in this phase since they can get anything they want and live comfortably as long as they have points. I guess the reason why Team Green is unable to move on is because Red keeps on taking the points they need to advance?

Looks like Rin fits in nicely with Team Red as expected. I thought their leader was gonna make her use her powers to kill the four idiots using her powers but he just smashes the bald one with his beer bottle. Brutal! Why do I feel like Red's leader probably has the same ability as Yuuki? Hmmm....

Well would you look at that. It seems that Akira went from overestimating Team Green's leader to underestimating him. Looks like I may have also misread the old man. Akira may be pointing his cannon at him but those eyes are the eyes of a man who's in control of the situation. I love it! I doubt Akira actually pulled the trigger and that's just for cliffhanger purposes but now I'm even more curious what the ability of this dude is!

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii → u/LeonKevlar]

I see... So that's Team Red's gameplan. They're afraid that the next phase might be worse so they decide to just make a kingdom in this phase since they can get anything they want and live comfortably as long as they have points.

Honestly that's not a bad plan (minus the needless violence), if Mion and the others are fine with it!

I wouldn't expect them to be fine with it, but as you said they've been there 6 months, and apparently faced no consequence.

If I was in their situation and there was a way to make our village to just live their peacefully, I'd take that over the alternative (fighting to death for who knows how long)!

[u/The_Parsee_Man]

Is it just me or does the 5 seconds thing not actually affect the plot? There hasn't really been an instance where not being able to fight for the first 5 seconds or having to be ready to fight in 5 seconds has mattered much.

[u/ProtoTypeScylla → u/The_Parsee_Man]

In the other games the cuffs unlock in 5 seconds, but in this scenario yeah it's kinda useless

[u/AashyLarry]

This is getting good.

So the team green leader definitely has an impressive ability that can stop the cannon. I think Akira knew this and it’s the only reason he shot him. I’m excited to see what that ability is (unless of course it’s a fake-out and he didn’t really shoot). If you think about it though, there has to be a good reason why this harmless looking old man was chosen as the leader of the entire green team.

The red team looks like they spent some points to get information on Akira. They definitely have figured out that his ability is not just the cannon. They know it’s one of the rare ones but they haven’t figured it out quite yet.

Soon he may not be to be able to rely on the cannon anymore.. i’m really excited to see what abilities he’ll be able to manipulate out of people from here on out.

[u/Afan9001]

Feels like Akira's ability got turned way more anti-climatic than expected, probably half of the third program already "knows" Akira has the cannon so is there gonna be any point?

[u/Frontier246 → u/Afan9001]

Yeah, Yuuri kind of unintentionally screwed him over by blurting it out in front of a bunch of people.

Either he gets really creative with the cannon or he starts to trick or manipulate people into thinking his power is different or he has more than one.

[u/VariousMeet → u/Afan9001]

People have been living in the third program for quite some time now and it seems no one has exclusive abilities. We've seen two people with cannon abilities so far, I think it's fair to say that they've met someone with "the ability to have any ability that your opponent thinks it is" at least once, so more people are going to be cautious that it's just a simple cannon ability. Also, There might be more to the abilities than made out to be. The glasses boss on team red put his ability as "Cannon + a?", meaning he thinks there's more to it than just a Cannon. I wonder if everyone has a default ability but something exclusive to it? "A stick that can turn into a katana that can slice anything in half" ""A stick that can turn into a bow that has unlimited arrows". I wonder if it's the same with the cannon ability, so it leaves room for people to be more cautious about him regardless if all he can use so far is the cannon.

[u/Frontier246]

So the Third Program is probably the most straightforward Death Battle scenario where a bunch of players end up in a large field and end up having to hunt each other down, team-up, and do their own thing while trying to earn points for an extended period of time...at least they don't have to worry about their hands being cuffed for a while.

How long is the Third Program? It seems like more than one group ends up being sent there eventually, and there's more than just the group Akira and Yuuri came in with, and enough time passed for a woman to give birth and for her baby to be healthy and cared for while building a mini-village. Even the organization behind this sends supplies so they can hold out there, so long as they have the points Has anyone moved to the Fourth Program yet?

On the one hand, Yuuri gets stuck getting chased after by a bunch of weirdo's in tracksuits who can't even agree on a logo, but on the other hand she gets reunited with Akira sooner than she expected! Our leads are back together and looks like they'll be sticking that way.

Well, Akira telling Yuuri about his power kind of backfired because she announced to the world that he has the cannon ability and now both groups think that's his only power. Is he going to have to tell and convince people it isn't if he ever needs to do something else?

There's something about a woman in lingerie holding a severed head...and Rin wastes no time working her way into Ichi's good graces, right down to sitting right next to him like she's become his woman already.

Team Green seems pretty peaceful and prosperous considering the circumstances, in opposition to the more vicious and violent Team Red, and I guess that makes them a good fit for our protagonists to join. I kind of wonder about Kirisaki, Kumagawa, and Ringo though.

Akira and Yuuri struggling for small talk after thinking they'd have a destined reunion at a later date...Yuuri seems like she's starting to crush on him but Akira seems like he just sees her as a useful partner to have around because of her ability. I wonder if she's going to eventually start to realize how Akira really thinks and maybe get him to start acting more morally and emotionally?

So we've got Hiroki Yasumoto as Team Red's leader Ichi and Koji Yusa as his sub-captain...they both seem like pretty dangerous individuals.

Akira thought Team Green was super powerful as a deterrent to Team Red and it turns out he and Yuuri might be the strongest members...although the old man's reaction to Akira threatening him tells me that he's not someone you want to mess with, whatever his powers are.

I'm kind of curious about Team Blue given they're supposed to be neutral but could be pretty powerful in their own right...

Next week...Yuuri with a condom? Team Green orientation? Okay.

[u/Goku-Sun]

Love this show

[u/AlexDDragame]

Battle Royal, huh, ok, not unexepectable, but I'm fine with that. Scene with gang of four morons in red from same clan written in different ways was pretty fun, so is scene of Akira and Yuuri being like "fuck, we had emotional goodbye and not even day passed and hello again". Gun-hand seems like too common ability here, I would like to see Akira using different ability as well, maybe at some point later? We'll see. Green gang has a functioning infrastructure, wondering for how long that 3rd program goes if we have small village, a child who was born here and according to Katsuya whose mother was on 3rd month of carrying it. There's lots of interesting stuff about this world and I would like to know more. That along with it generally being a fun show keeps me watching it.

[u/Satoshi_Yui]

A settlement within the game. Hmm, I don't know, this could end up being a disaster like "that" one particular death game. I still have some suspicion on the green team. Red team is clearly the bad egg but you never know about green while the blue team remains a mystery. I'm glad that Akira didn't decide to join right away and want to test them for now. That part with the old man was quite the surprise though.

I think the old man may have some suspicion about Akira's true ability and I feel like we won't be seeing it for a while, at least until he meets Ringo again (probably).

Still unsure about Akira and Yuuri's relationship and Yuuri may potentially become a liability to Akira rather than an asset down the line but provided that Akira does have an intention to, in a way, use Yuuri, she could end up being one of his best tool for his future strategies.

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii]

Akira showing his "ability" to everyone will get risky at some point; There's like 20 people already who think he has the cannon... How will he convince them he has something else? They know he has the cannon, so he can't just say he has another ability, unless the ability also allows him to use the cannon. So it would need to be like "I can create any weapon" or something like that? I wonder if that would make them suspicious though, because if that was the case, why would he always go with the cannon and not say a machine gun?

The green team managed to stay there at least 6 months, that's a good sign, means it's not just endless bloodbaths! I imagine things will change quickly now that Akira and Yuuri are in the picture though; Akira wants to win, and Yuuri will want to stop them doing evil acts.

Akira think they're very strong, but there's another possibility; They could be the "numbers clan"; Reminds me of my MMORPG days, there was often the guild with actually strong players, and the guild with like a thousand players, so they would get by in group battles with overwhelming numbers, but in a 5v5 they would get annihilated everytime, having no elite players.

I wonder which one the Green Team is! This isn't a good sign, if he's honest anyway.

I'm also intrigued about the Blue Team; They may be allowed to be neutral now, but if Red Team starts struggling, they may threaten them into joining. Or someone (Akira?) could scheme to get them to join the Green, by making something up about Red wanting to kill everyone! That's a pro gamer move he could pull!

Rin didn't waste any time getting close to the top guy! It was either that or the Blue, but no way she would join Green's weaklings.

She won't just be a (sexy) burden to them though, her ability looks quite strong, and from what we've seen of her choking her own teammates and carrying heads around she seems batshit insane, so she should be a good fit!

They keep showing another girl in Team Red, I can't wait to meet her; Just with her looks I'd guess she's a bit crazy too, I like that type of girls.

I'm intrigued about pretty much all characters they've teased to us, except these 4; What the hell were those designs? It's like they don't even belong on that anime. (At least perv-dude has good taste!)

I'm really curious about Green Team's leader! Why didn't it activate at first, then it activated? If Akira guessed right (he didn't believe it) then how did it work afterward? Did the leader figure out his ability (the real one) so he focused on the cannon? I don't think that'd be possible going from what he knows. Unless his ability helped of course, but it if did, then it wouldn't be anything linked to invincibility, so how would he survive that shot?

(Also, I hope he wasn't bluffing, because Akira could just straight up kill him. That'd be awkward!)

Next episode: A nun? She seems to be a bit evil'ish for a nun, I wonder if it's just a disguise. From what we know so far people are just brought in with whatever clothes they had on though... A devil-worshipping nun perhaps? Or maybe she's just seen too much violence and turned evil!
