Why it has to be Tokyo, of all places for Blank? Are those Warbeasts are one step ahead of them, or they're just plain old otakus!?

Still, I have a bad feeling about this on the next episode!

[Random Wanderer]

Hikikomori's worst nightmare.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, no matter what happens it seems the secret of their game is getting out. They only said all Imanity watching would lose their memories of the game. With Fi observing that little slip is going to cost them.

[FlareKnight]

Oh boy...they be screwed . Dropping them right into a place they would have been near impossible to go into before. Although have to think they'll pull it together. If they can physically handle walking around in their Kingdom they'll figure a way. Even if they have to mentally convince themselves that this is just a game world.

Maybe it will tie into the last demand he made from Steph before the game got started. Certainly it was important enough to kill the possibility of them being overheard.

A pretty fun episode. Maybe a needed relief episode after the tenseness before. Bit of fun with the whole Kurami vs. Sora thing that happened a few times. Memories get shared and they get quite the firepower to use against each other when playing around .

[Xacual]

That was definitely a great spot to end the episode, I was worried they might stretch stuff out and do the intro to the game and everything next week. Jibril proves again that Flugel aren't to be messed with. Casually bumped your head on a force field? Time for a massacre.

I liked how she rode on the top of Sora and Shiro's carriage and just smiled at the mob, and everyone very politely cleared out of the way.

[Ickarium]

I'm wondering what they talked to Stephanie about.

My guess? It's something not so mean and showing they actually do trust her. Like using her as an ace in the hole. Like if they go nuts (like they are), Steph is allowed to order them around or something, but only to do X, Y, and Z.

It has to be part of some plan, though.

And yeah. Fi is not part of Imanity. She is not in any way bound by the pledge they did. Their secret gets out either way.

[GDB]

I'm thinking he may have granted Steph his gaming skills while in the virtual world. It'd be a nice callback (even if it was only one episode before) to how he imparted his memories to Kurami, as if he were testing whether such a thing were possible.

[Newprimus]

They changed quite a bit and cut stuff from the light novel this time, BUT they did it so they can fit as much of the pre-game events as possible and I guess devote everything on the actual game as much as they can for next week. With that in mind, I guess I can overlook the omissions made in this ep.

Still, a great episode as always. I laughed out loud when Sora went, "It's INTRODUCTIONS" at the beginning and everyone went stick figure.

[ChampDream]

the warbeasts sure make great games, that was really the worst place for a game for Sora and
Shiro.

[moridin84]

Happily, the two girls didn't join the harem.

Still, it seems he got some nice bath footage. I can't believe that actually worked.

Jibril is both an S and M is seems.

And from the looks of it, they have trauma in regards to Tokyo.

Considering rioters can't do violence against Shiro/Sora and Jibrile can't do violence against them though...

Well I guess it's hard to get rid of thousands of years of instincts.

Well the memory only get wiped if the Eastern Federation wins anyway. That's a GAME OVER situation for the main characters so it's not going to happen.

[The Green One]

Next week is going to be epic. I'm looking forward to this part.

Well, yes, we're fairly sure they'll win. But it's still cool they arranged things so even if they lose, the Weres aren't going to be very happy.

[HandofFate]

Similar to how Jib. lost her memories like the rest of the imanity of Sora because she's serving under Sora during the otelleo game.

Wouldn't Kurami being a slave and owned by Fi remove her from being affected by Sora betting the imanity race piece?
She already belonds to another race, so she isn't included in the bet of all the other unowned imanities should they lose.

[cleo]

I really like the humor of this show. Almost every ep a bath-scene, yet foot-licking gets censored
And Kurami mocking Sora while using his voice was awesome, great voice-acting.

[Ickarium]

She's still human. She had the little piece appear on her last episode, so she's affected. Jibril is Sora and Shiro's minion, so is affected. Meanwhile, Fi is just working with them, the only thing he won from her is the ability to tweak her memory a moment. So. She would not be affected by the pack with the weres.

[Xacual]

It's a lot simpler than that. The wager applies to all Imanity watching, Clammy might be owned by Feel and not subject to what the wager does since that would be betting someone else's property, but she's still an Imanity watching the game. Feel of course wouldn't be affected since she's not Imanity.

She can watch the race because it is a race involving race piece that made all imanity eligible to watch the race and by extension the all imanity would refer to all life categorized as imanity species.

If Sora was right, the elves already figured out what the game was. They just haven't been able to think of a way to win.

There's quite a difference between having figured it out from evidence and the kind of information Fi's about to get.

Yeah, we know our kids aren't going to lose due to plot, but I still enjoy seeing a good loophole exploited.
