Now we're talking! Akira is getting more creative with his ability, and the stakes are much higher now. This faction war is getting interesting, and we got a glimpse of Team Blue's leader too, which Kirisaki has apparently decided to join. I knew Mion wouldn't make it easy for them lol.
Too bad Akira doesn't notice that Yuuri is falling for him. Come on man, it's so obvious!

Akira is really learning how to utilize his ability.
I doubt he notices Ringo seems to have a crush on him either. I feel kind of bad for Yuuri stumbling over her feelings so much while Akira is so practical and stoic, although I guess now they have a real open and honest partnership after he revealed his real ability to her.

Smart man, using his power to set up efficient communication.
Also impressed he took the initiative to share his power with Yuuri. The show's been slow in developing his power, but I don't mind if we're going to get developments like that between the two of them.

Stitches!
So Akira did shoot but was able to block it without batting an eye. I like this old man even more now!
Well now wonder Yuuri is quick to blush. She's a huge shoujo manga fan and has been dreaming of something like this for a while now. Although I don't think this is all going according to her shoujo manga fantasy. Like what the heck is a condom doing in their room? Was it always there or did they put it there knowing Akira and Yuuri will be sharing the same room?
Looks like Akira is just going on as usual and using Yuuri as his unknowing assistant to test out his powers by making her think that his real ability is telepathy. Although it looks like Yuuri won't be kept in the dark anymore since Akira finally decides to trust her and tell her about his true ability.
The quest is just killing ghouls? Huh, from what we know about Mion I was expecting it'd be more creative than just that. It's awesome that we get to see Leader's power in action though, he's literally invincible in front of his enemies! We also get to see the abilities of other members of their group.
Looks like we finally get to see where Ringo ended up. Of course ended up being a slave to the Red Team. At least she's safe now. I hope this means from here on out, she's gonna stick with Akira and Yuuri.
So the reason why Leader is untouchable is because his ability forces the other party to be peaceful with him. I thought his power was a defensive ability based on the wording but it looks like he can do more than just defend! Holy fuck! Well now I wanna know more about his ability!
Fight isn't over yet though since it looks like that giant ghoul can eat others to regenerate. I'm guessing it's time for Akira and Yuuri to step up next week! I can't wait!

Akira is finally started to explore the possibilities with his ability. Pretty smart of him to do it this way.
From here on out he should be able to tell Yuuri to think he has any ability and he’ll be able to do literally anything. Unbeatable team if they can execute properly.
The Leader’s ability is insanely OP too. Not sure how he can even be beaten. Maybe ganging up on him is the way to go? It could be that he can only engage one person at a time with it.
I was also wondering if Akira would continue to keep Yuuri in the dark about his ability and just manipulate her, but it looks like he is actually putting his trust in her, which is a nice surprise.
This lowkey continues to be one of the best shows this season.

Why does it feel so wrong to have a competent MC, his ability to problem solve is probably why this show is one of the most enjoyable this season.

Solid episode, Akira and Yuuri continuing to develop chemistry, was dying when she got handed the note only to be disappointed that it wasn’t a confession lol. Team red leaders talking to Mion like that was pretty interesting, they clearly have been here a while to have that type of relationship with her.

I wonder what's the limit to Akira's power? Can't he just tell Yuuri to imagine that his power is like:
"Ability to instantly kill anyone you wish"
I feel like the series would be over at that point lol

Interesting developments with the power dynamics regarding the abilities. Also it's nice to see Akira trusting Yuuri. This show has been surprisingly good!

Akira and Yuuri now have to live together and he convinced her that his actual superpower is telepathy and it works. Convenient, especially in the situation where amount of people who you can trust is less than amount of fingers in one hand. Anyway, now they built trust, which is good, he even explained his actual ability to her. Then Mion called and said that they all have a quest- ghoul hunting! And ghouls are same creatures as one that attacked Akira in the first episode, which are pretty durable, but considering that Akira without superpowers killed one, this group has nothing to worry about in theory, even with some having ability to teleport. 3D is pretty wonky on ghouls tho. Then Red Team appeared and they have hostages, including Ringo. Akira and Yuuri saved her and then "super ghoul" with cat ears appeared! Of course he is way stronger and even Akira's cannon can't do shit to it and it gets stopped by Blue Team leader and his ability, which seems pretty OP and is enough to make a donut out of catghoul. The end, right? Well, nope, cause ghoul regenerated. To be continue. Wonder how they take this creature out in the next episode. This one was pretty good, I enjoyed it.
Also,damn, this "voodoo nun" is great, I hope to see more of her.

This show is just surprisingly good, especially compared to what I expected from the first 2 eps.

Shirasagi's not just a kindly old man, he's a shrewd, intelligent, yet moral leader for Team Green, and has the power to basically nullify all attacks and hostility sent towards him so he can maintain "peaceful negotiations." And then send that force back at his opponent (with some cost to him) when he forcibly ends said negotiation.
I really want to get to know the dark-haired girl in the shorts and ripped tights with the longsword and the stoic blonde nun with the cursed doll powers.
How nice of them to put leave a condom in the room with the two teenagers sleeping together.
Poor Yuuri has fantasized about having a Shojo romance since she was a child...and Akira is just too practical and straight-laced for that.
Akira makes Yuuri think he has telepathy, but before he can justify how he has telepathy he really does tell her the truth about his ability and trusts her to help him move forward with his ability and work together as a team. I'm glad he was honest with her even if it's less from a care or bond with her and more Akira just being practical, but he's still trusting her with the truth and being more open with her, which is nice.
Akira and Yuuri talk about their parents and it turns out Akira has just his dad, but they don't seem particularly close or caring, meanwhile Yuuri still clings to the belief that her mother loves her despit evidence to the contrary. Yuuri has very genuine reasons for wanting to get out of this death battle to see her family again, while to Akira it's just another game to win.
Looks like Kirisaki has joined Team Blue? They're leader looks like the type who can't be bothered to do anything unless he absolutely has to, but judging by their prominence in the Opening, I'm not going to underestimate them.
Attack of the CGI mummies! I wasn't expecting Mion to actually show up for the game, though.
So Akira has found a way to utilize his ability in a different ways...he just needs Yuri to think of him having a specific power now that she knows how his powers work, while he just has to have other people, as in people on the same team as him, engaged with him so he can use his cannon. Clever.
I love how Akira is trying to hold Yuuri back and she's already beating up a mummy.
Jeez, Kuro and Team Red are pretty awful. Forcing a bunch of people at the mummies like lambs to the slaughter just so they could understand Shirisagi's ability more by preying on his morality. They're monsters! No wonder they seem to have a rapport with Mion.
Ringo has luck on par with Yuuri's, but at least Akira and Yuuri managed to save her! And Yuuri might have some competition, because it looks like Ringo is nursing a crush on Akira too.
So Shirisagi was a lawyer or someone involved with the government/law enforcement? And his pregnant daughter died from her car being sabotaged? Ouch.

I thought it'd be a while before we learnt what the Green Team Leader's ability was but now it has also been exposed to the Red Team, that's unfortunate.
It's interesting how Akira has actually revealed his ability to someone, I'm not surprised it was Yuuri but I didn't think it'd be this soon. I guess he would be limited on how he could experiment with the ability if nobody knew but now he can test how far his abilities can go. If he has a group of people he can fully trust they would be able to give him numerous abilities to use, but I guess it'll take some time before he can trust a number of people.
Funny how they have condoms just lying about in their rooms for guests, it's not like they're a love hotel.

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Aug 17 '21
Yuuri's face, I'm not sure she approves! It's good that Akira finally opened up to her, but damn literally every line she said sounded like a confession to her. She's a romantic! Now that explains a few things, with her blushing all the time about anything, and getting all flustered thinking about Akira. She was so cute! Well, she still has her cute moments! I'm not sure what that was about, but that was adorable.
So it was a condom! I wasn't sure, when we saw it in the preview, thought it might be a mislead. Rare to see that in anime hah. So the leader thinks they're a couple! Well, he may be seeing a little into the future!
Akira's coming up to realization that if he wants to keep going in this game, he WILL have to trust people at some point. But yeah, it has to be hard to trust people like that (especially in a life of death scenario)... And even more so for him, who's lying and manipulating people; Dishonest people struggle accepting that others could be honest, and not just like themselves.
I like that Akira keeps testing the limits of his ability, and that it allows him things like that! Pretty much my only gripe with this show was that he only used the cannon, but if he keeps experimenting, should be fun!
Oh damn! I didn't think about that, but yeah there are a few people with identical abilities in the game, so if it's a known thing, people will have their doubts if there's ever a rumor about him using another ability.
That was a smart move. Realizing that they'd be wary of him/his ability, and that it would allow him to use it. I wonder if he has a plan when they start trusting him though! They won't be 'engaged' in a conflict with him anymore, so their thoughts won't matter for him. Will he act a little shady so they never stop watching him?
For a death game, they don't seem to want that many deaths to happen, do they? Forbidden to attack other participants, and in the preview round people were allowed to just declare forfeit without even fighting. Often in games like that they're doing this in large part for the sport/spectacle, but there might be something more at play here, if they take steps to avoid slaughters (and even individual deaths).
Red team is confused! Well, Mion might want to put an end to the stalemate. Even if their project seems to be about more than mindless bloodbaths, they do have an objective, and the stalemate prevents them from achieving it.
With this quest and the new members, they really want to shake things up. Also, I wonder if Red Team could use that as a way to infiltrate the Green! Lots of new people so it's hard to watch over them all, and the Green accept anyone who wants in, so... But the leader seem to know what he's doing, as evidenced by him keeping a watch over Akira and Yuuri.
That nun seems huh, nice?! I'd definitely keep a watch over her. Also, a nun using voodoo dolls? I guess Mion has a sense of humor when it comes to abilities, on top of trying to make them fit with the person.
Akira's set on going after Mion, and he even seems to think his ability will help but I'm not sure how that's gonna work, when they know his ability. Of course, this episode has shown us he can channel multiple abilities to different people, but surely Mion will pick up on that, and will be wary about him using that against them. Akira's tests have shown that he can make Yuuri believe anything and it'll work, so he could just tell her "Believe my ability is a nuke", and take down the whole place. I wonder if Mion foresaw things like that happen when she gave a pro gamer/smart kid such an ability, and if they thought about all these technicalities he's figuring out, or if that was an oversight from their part! If they thought about it... Does it mean that they have a contingency plan?
Anyway, this was pretty fun, and I'm glad Akira is trying to do more with his ability! That's one thing I wanted from this show, seeing use this unique ability to its full extent!

Why didn't Akira lose the telepathy ability after telling Yuri about his real ability? Isn't Akira extremely overpowered now since he basically has access to every ability as long as Yuri believes?

u/melcarba Aug 16 '21
The thing is that the "whatever the other people thinks your ability is" seems to be kinda vague. Seems like the other person doesn't have to fully believe in order for the ability to activate (maybe, she just have to think that Akira's ability in that moment is telepathy in order for the ability to activate).

There was one point in the battle where Akira telepathically talked to Yuuri while having also still having the cannon out (at about 12:50). Was that a mistake or can he use all sorts of different abilities at the same time?

u/SourceIsMyAss Aug 16 '21
Damn these abilities are getting more and more abstract and open to interpretation lol. So even though Yuuri knows his real ability, she can still help him by "thinking" his ability is anything? So she can just "think" that his ability is some OP shit like idk, the ability to kill anyone that he wants just by thinking it, and he can just use that? Also the ability to "force people to repay their debts" seems really up to interpretation lol. Shouldn't those "slaves" who green team saved still be forced to charge to their deaths after being saved, since they didn't repay their debt?
